With backgrounds in hospitality, design, and event planning, we work side by side to create celebrations that feel organized, thoughtful, and beautifully put together!

The dream team!
Where to even begin…Jenna and Amalia were angels, miracle makers, warmth and light keeping us calm throughout the planning process and especially on wedding day. They did 3 month coordination for our Long Island backyard wedding, and they were truly amazing from start to finish. As a queer couple ourselves, it was important to us to have queer vendors that would protect, honor, and celebrate our love and our nontraditional choices as we planned our day. Jenna and Amalia did exactly that. We had some hiccups along the way, including a vendor bringing me to tears a week before the wedding. They stepped in immediately, had our backs, and handled the situation with the utmost grace and care. We felt protected and secure knowing they were in our corner. Then, when we needed to add last minute tents two days before the wedding, they reached out to vendors on our behalf and got us quotes within a few hours. We had the new tents installed within 24 hours, making sure that everyone could stay dry but that we could still have the day we wanted. Now, for wedding day itself. It was POURING rain on our wedding day. Parts of the backyard were flooding because of this, and I don’t even know how, but Jenna and Amalia made it all ok. They devised creative solutions to make sure our guests got around the backyard safely that we would have never thought of. They led the vendor team impeccably and kindly, making sure everyone had what they needed. After the wedding, I learned that they had put out so many little fires along the way that I had no idea about on wedding day. It was the best day of our lives, and Jenna and Amalia made it possible. Jenna bustled my dress with safety pins on the dance floor. Amalia was waiting for us after the ceremony with drinks in hand. Every single member of my family has brought up Jenna and Amalia’s grace, professionalism, skill, kindness, and care when reflecting on wedding day. We’ve told them already that they are on the hook for all future family weddings! We are endlessly grateful. We recommend The Butterfly Effect Weddings so so highly. They are both simply the best at their jobs as well as incredible humans too.
The Butterfly Effect Weddings•May 28, 2026And we're back to crying again! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for taking the time to share such an incredibly moving, detailed account of your experience with us. From our very first conversation, celebrating and fiercely protecting your love, your vision, and your peace of mind was our absolute priority. As a queer-owned business, it is deeply meaningful to hear that you felt truly safe, honored, and celebrated every step of the way—especially when unexpected hurdles arose. When a vendor causes distress a week before the big day or a sudden storm threatens a beautifully designed backyard layout, our 'shield mode' completely activates. We were never going to let anything steal your joy. You both handled the pouring rain with the absolute highest level of grace, royalty, and pure magic. Seeing you two glowing, surrounded by your incredible family under those last-minute tents, is a memory we will cherish forever. It was an absolute honor to quietly extinguish those behind-the-scenes fires, manage the logistics, and ensure you only had to focus on the best day of your lives (and getting drinks in your hands and a dress bustled on the dance floor is just a bonus!). We are officially holding your family to that promise—we are ready and waiting to steer the ship for any and all future family celebrations! You are truly stuck with us for life. We love you both endlessly! Warmly, Amalia & Jenna 🦋

Calm, Care, & Magic
This is a belated, but well-deserved review for Jenna and Amalia at The Butterfly Effect. We used their services as Day-of Coordinators at XIX in November, and while the venue provided its own coordinator, our wedding—and the entire planning process—would not have been the same without them. These ladies are kind, organized, and provided invaluable support. In the months leading up to the wedding, they helped keep me on track and made the planning feel far less overwhelming. They were especially helpful acting as liaisons between us and the venue/venue coordinator. Several things we were initially told “no” about were ultimately facilitated thanks to Amalia and Jenna. Their willingness to advocate for us and find solutions made such a difference. Their support always felt unlimited. I especially loved our Zoom sessions where we could talk through details, brainstorm ideas, and work through any questions. Their experience helped provide perspective when we were planning. On the day of the wedding, they arrived early and immediately got to work ensuring everyone was set up and had what they needed. I truly appreciated their attention to detail and the way they handled anything that came up throughout the day. If I could change anything, it would only be that I wish we had asked them to stay a little longer into the evening—but the few late-night hiccups we experienced were unexpected and ultimately venue-related. The moment I appreciated them most was right before it was time for me to walk down the aisle. Not only did their mini-fan absolutely save me, but their calm presence and kind words made such a difference in that emotional moment. Anyone would be lucky to have The Butterfly Effect bring a touch of magic to their wedding day.

Highly Recommended
We cannot recommend The Butterfly Effect Weddings enough. Amalia and Jenna were incredible throughout the entire planning process, but they really shined on the day of our wedding. They stayed calm, kept everything organized, and anticipated issues before we even had a chance to stress about them. That made it possible for us to actually enjoy the day without stress. One moment that really stands out is our ceremony. We were unsure how it should play out, but they stepped in with confidence and made everything run smoothly. It was such a relief to have them guiding us through it. As a queer couple, it was especially meaningful to work with coordinators who are a queer couple themselves and truly understand the unique challenges that come with planning a queer wedding. For example, it felt very reassuring to be able to make untraditional choices that felt right for us without worrying about judgment or misunderstanding. Representation matters, and they made us feel seen and supported the entire time. We would absolutely recommend Amalia and Jenna to other LGBTQ couples, and to anyone looking for coordinators who are truly professional and reliable.
The Butterfly Effect Weddings•May 28, 2026Thank you so much for this beautiful review! 😊 It was such an honor to be part of your day. We’re so glad we could take the stress off your shoulders so you could focus on the moments that mattered—especially during that ceremony! As a queer couple ourselves, it means everything to us that you felt seen and supported in making choices that felt authentic to you. Representation is at the heart of why we do what we do at The Butterfly Effect Weddings, and we’re so happy you felt that. Wishing you both a lifetime of love and happiness! 🦋 Best, Jenna & Amalia

Cannot say enough good things!!
If you’re thinking about a day of coordination team and you’re unsure or think you can do it all yourself, take my advice and DON’T WAIT to hire The Butterfly Effect Weddings as your team. You will not regret it!! When we first began planning our wedding, hiring a day of coordinator never crossed our minds. As we started to get closer to the big day, we quickly realized that was a mistake and panic began to set in. I frantically searched the Brides of the Hudson Valley Facebook page and googled some of the names that popped up and one of the first I came across was The Butterfly Effect Weddings. The name resonated with me first because it is indicative of serendipity and comforted me to think that maybe I wasn’t too late to hire someone, maybe I was doing it exactly when I was supposed to. Then as I started reading about Amalia and Jenna, for reasons I can’t explain, I felt an instant connection and immediately reached out. I was sad to get an out of office response as they were on a very well deserved holiday for the end of December but to my surprise within a few hours, I received a personal response from Jenna saying that they’d like to set up a call. From there, the deal was sealed. During our first conversation I felt like I could tell them anything and that I’d known them my whole life. The level of ease and comfort they provided during one of the most stressful times was overwhelming in the best way. They took calls with me at crazy times during their trip to the Philippines and made me feel like I was their only priority while they were also visiting family. Not only did I have faith in their ability to execute on the day efficiently, but given their background in interior design I also had complete faith that every detail would be considered and executed with intention. Fast forward to the day of our wedding - the day simply wouldn’t have gone as smoothly nor look as amazing if it weren’t for Amalia and Jenna and their abilities. My new husband, my mom, MiL, Bridal Party, everyone were completely impressed with them and knew they could go to them for anything during the day/ night. They made sure that every item we ordered for our wedding was collected and brought back to our room and not a single thing was missed. They even made sure to get the Christmas tree backdrop we were planning on set up when we forgot. I cannot thank Amalia and Jenna enough for all they did to ensure every vision we had came to life and I cannot wait to continue building on a friendship with them.
The Butterfly Effect Weddings•May 28, 2026Alison, reading this had us both in tears! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for such incredibly kind words. From that very first call while we were in the Philippines, we felt that instant connection too—it truly was serendipity. We know how overwhelming those final weeks can be, and it was our absolute honor to step in and make sure your vision was executed with the intention and design it deserved. Watching your family and bridal party enjoy the night stress-free was the greatest reward. You weren't just a client to us; you became a friend, and we are so grateful the Butterfly Effect led us to you! 🦋

Working with Butterfly Effect was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the very beginning, their promptness and incredible time management gave us complete peace of mind. Every detail was handled with care, intention, and professionalism. What truly set them apart was their kindness! Amalia and Jenna made the entire process feel calm, supportive, and genuinely joyful. They followed through on every promise, every timeline, and every detail, making sure nothing was overlooked. On our wedding day, everything flowed seamlessly, allowing us to be fully present and soak in every moment. Amalia and Jenna did not just plan our wedding, they elevated the entire experience and made booking a wedding planner worth every penny. We are endlessly grateful for their dedication, heart, and unwavering follow-through. Highly recommend to any couple wanting an stress-free, beautifully executed day.
