I initially wasn't quite sure what a day of planner totally entailed, but assumed it was just helping out w the day of logistics. Sharon completely blew all expectations away. We had several long phone calls leading up to the wedding and she came with us to our walk through with our venue, caterer and florist. About 2 weeks before the wedding she totally took over all communication with my vendors, which was SUCH a huge help, since all the last minute details were getting to be quite overwhelming. I'm a pretty big planner and was nervous that I would be so worried about details on the day of the wedding that I wouldn't fully be able to enjoy myself. However, thanks to Sharon, I was totally at ease the entire day and night - she 100% had everything under control. I cannot recommend her services enough!

From the planning process through the event itself, the team was kind, responsive, knowledgeable, and incredibly easy to work with. They helped us think through details we never would have considered on our own, offered thoughtful advice and support, and brought so much expertise to the overall planning. On the day of the event, they made everything feel seamless. It was such a relief to know they were managing all the details and making sure everything went according to plan. The decor they created was truly magical. When I came downstairs after getting ready and saw what they had done with the greenery, candles, and overall setup, I was blown away. They added beautiful touches I never would have thought of myself. It completely transformed the event! Most importantly, they made the actual celebration happen without a snag. We truly could not have done it without them, and I'm so grateful for the care, creativity, and hard work they brought to such a special day. Highly recommend!

My personality isn't type A, it is type triple A. Thank goodness for Leanne and YNIE! I was able…read moreto thoroughly enjoy our entire day knowing they were our air traffic controllers. It's clear Leanne and team can work with anyone and everyone as they are rockstar team players. She drives accountability across all vendors, which is so important for a successful event and a complicated dance to achieve. I might ask Leanne to come to my work to share her knowledge on expectations management. YNIE gets you organized quickly with their easy-to-use portal. You up front understand the details that NO ONE TELLS YOU ABOUT that you'll need to think through with your partner and family. These materials can be distributed to all vendors and really helps you get organized during your wedding planning process. Thank you thank you thank you! I can't recommend Leanne and her team enough.

Choosing Prim & Proper Events to be our planner was the single best decision we made about our…read morewedding. After we had made the decision to work with Mel from Prim & Proper Events, the most amazing things followed, and we had her with us every step of the way to help us decide how to make our wedding the most beautiful day in a way that represented us as a couple. She truly loves what she does and this was immediately apparent from the first moment I spoke with her (after which I immediately hung up and told my fiancé that I needed her in our life). She is an incredible listener and has a very beautiful and unique ability to take a vision and immediately know how to execute on it in the most stunning way. Breathtaking ideas seem to constantly flow from her mind. As a bride to be, having a true professional run point on every aspect of the planning, presenting gorgeous ideas for you to consider (when you didn't even know these ideas were possible!) and having someone available at any time to make you feel that everything is being taken care of without issue is what you want and need. Mel loves romance, beauty, love, intricacies, details, elegance and luxe touches; everything she does reflects this. Never once did Mel tell us that something we wanted couldn't be done. Her energy is contagious. Mel knew which vendors would deliver on what we needed - and she nailed it. We were so happy with everyone that she introduced us to and that we used for the wedding. From décor and flowers to the DJ everyone that Mel brought into our world was amazing. She kept reminding us to enjoy the planning, and that was so easy to do with her leading the way. She made it her mission to plan the most gorgeous day for us - mission accomplished and more. She even surprised us the day of with some incredible touches to the reception (when I saw what she had done for us, it really challenged my ability to hold back the "ugly cry", but I successfully did). It was the best day of our lives and still now, months after the wedding, our friends and family members still gush about how incredible the day was. Mel is an impeccable wedding planner who will plan the wedding of your dreams. Just say yes!

I hired Alexis Kolpak at Imagine Events as a day-of coordinator for my July 2011 wedding and…read morecouldn't be happier with the service I received. From the moment I first met Alexis until the day of my wedding she always conducted herself and her business with an impeccable level of professionalism and grace. She was extremely organized, insightful, creative, and an all around go-getter when it came to tackling problems and working with my vendors. Although she was only contracted as a day-of coordinator, Alexis went above and beyond and offered me valuable advice throughout my entire wedding planning journey. In fact, of all of the vendors I used for my wedding, the ones recommended by Alexis turned out to be the most reliable, the easiest to work with, and the ones that produced the best product overall. Looking back and reflecting on all of the added value Alexis brought to the table--including her strong work ethic and her positive relationships with vendors--I should've hired her services full time! I found Imagine Events through a recommendation and would recommend their services to anyone else in a heartbeat. I truly could not have pulled off my amazing wedding day without Alexis Kolpak!

She is organized, available and helpful. She did an incredible job at helping us create a vision for our wedding and then seamlessly bring it to life. Plus, Marie helped us with our idea for escort cards and then stuffed and sealed all the envelopes for our guests, which is a great example of how she goes above and beyond for her clients. I also appreciated that she is so on top of everything while keeping a calm energy throughout - no added stress on our wedding day. I can confidently say our wedding would not have been what it was without Marie and I'm so grateful for that.

A friend had recommended them with the promise that I would feel completely at ease--and that proved true from the very beginning. Shannon paired us with Cecelia McIntosh, who turned out to be the most exceptional project manager I've ever worked with, not just in the wedding world but across all of my professional experiences. Cecelia's attention to detail was extraordinary. She cataloged every element of our multi-day Indian-Western celebration, managed vendor relationships with grace, secured us excellent deals where she had negotiating power, and offered thoughtful recommendations--like the perfect florals for our mehendi ceremony. She understood the cultural nuances of our events, from the importance of removing shoes at the mandap to the way certain rituals needed to be set up. She took ownership of everything: carrying and setting up décor, assembling seating charts, ensuring plate service was flawless, and keeping the entire wedding running with a level of timing and precision that every single guest commented on. There were moments where Cecelia truly went above and beyond--most memorably when she calmly and safely helped transport a ceremonial fire to an unexpected location, taking control of a situation that could have easily become chaotic. She handled every last-minute request without hesitation, kept our planning calls on schedule, and brought a sense of structure, warmth, and professionalism that made her an absolute dream to work with. As someone who is naturally a very thorough planner, I stepped into my wedding days feeling completely calm, knowing Cecelia had everything handled. Because of her, I was able to be fully present and simply enjoy our celebration. I cannot recommend Shannon Gale and Cecelia more highly--they are truly among the best planners you could ever hire.

Where do I start?! I don't typically leave reviews, but I just feel so compelled to bc wow! Eru/…read moreBeles Events really came through for me as I was planning my besties bridal shower. The event ended up needing to be planned quickly, and let me tell you, it did not look like it! Despite my reaching out so last minute (indecisive bride), Eru was incredibly professional, accommodating, organized, and creative in her approach. It felt like she was really on my team as she took my requests and created a few different options and price points for me to choose from. And she asks great questions! She asked so many questions that I hadn't considered or budgeted for, and it helped clarify what exactly it was I was looking for and how to execute it. It really was better than I could have expected, time crunch or not. And most importantly, my best friend had the dreamy, untraditional bridal shower she's always hoped for I wish the wedding wasn't already planned so Eru could curate that day for us too! Still, at least the rest of us get the heads up now ;) Thank you again, Eru, for curating the day to meet (and exceed!) my girl's vision. Your attention to detail and creative use of space and resources is so appreciated and celebrated!
