I actually laugh out loud when I recall how I first thought I didn't need a wedding planner. I…read morefigured I had plenty of ideas, a good sense of design, and thought I could manage my time well enough to get things done when things needed to be done. Looking back now, I can't imagine this past year without Alexis and her team at the Little Things. Alexis is cool, calm, and collected. She has an incredible eye and seemingly limitless patience. She gave me the space to design specific elements of our wedding while providing her expertise at every turn. Her high standards have helped her build a network of vendors who truly bring their A-game. My fiancé and I definitely put The Little Things through the ringer with our out-of-the-box interactive displays and AV set up. Alexis took it all in stride, remaining positive, managing our expectations, and meeting every challenge presented and exceeding expectations throughout. If you view wedding planners as a "nice to have," and not a "necessity," I would change your thinking. There are SO many things that can come up, and they would have easily derailed us many times in our planning if it were not for Alexis who acts as part wedding planner, part therapist throughout the process! ha! When you look back at your wedding, if you're like us, you will constantly be bringing up amazing memories, and you will find yourself saying "Imagine we didn't have Alexis."

If you're beginning to plan your wedding and you're looking to be creatively engaged but not…read moreoverwhelmed by the process, it's time you meet with TLT. If you value design and love beautiful detail but don't have the time to chase every email or treat your wedding like a second job, it's time you meet with TLT. If you have a bunch of ideas in your mind of who you and your partner are, and how you want to present yourselves as a couple, and want a planner who can understand you better than you understand yourself, it's time you meet with TLT. If you want to enjoy the process of planning your wedding as much as your wedding itself, run, don't walk, to TLT. Alexis & Kayla were by far the most important and most valuable decision we made for our wedding. After following TLT on IG for some time, I knew I liked their high-end, laidback vibe, and from our first conversation we were bowled over by how those traits translated to the people behind the scenes. From early days with thoughtful questionnaires into every aspect of our identity, Alexis and Kayla began the journey of getting to know us better than we knew ourselves, and helped us establish a mood, a design aesthetic, and a way of working together that made the year of planning our wedding a true joy. What you can expect from working with TLT: monthly meetings where you will laugh until you cry, a meticulously organized online checklist of to-dos with assigned owners and gentle and timely reminders, to be presented with teams of vendors who match your vibe and price point (you can always suggest your own vendors and TLT will vet them too), never having to send a single email to a vendor (!!!!), a sense of comfort knowing that everything is IS THE BAG, and in the critical days leading up to the big day and including the big day itself - being able to be present and enjoy this once in a lifetime experience. Alexis and Kayla helped us author our first big creative project together as a couple and will be lifelong friends. They assembled a squad of the COOLEST, most hardworking vendors we could imagine, and we will be forever grateful. If you are on the fence about working with a planner, DO NOT HESITATE to take the leap with TLT. They are worth their weight in solid gold.

This is the worst woman I have ever met in my life. She robbed me of my deposit despite the fact…read moreshe didn't do anything besides google things. I had to hire another planner who did the job in 3 weeks. I hired Veronica in May for my baby's birthday and 7 months later still nothing was done and she refused to give me back my money. She then texted me extremely threatening texts almost 3 months after my event to remove my one star review or she will sue me. She would then block me and then unblock me and continue to send threatening messages. This woman wants to keep her shady business practice behind wraps. She also threatened me about someone else leaving her a bad review. Her google reviews are mainly all one star reviews. She is the worst thing to ever happen to me. I wish I contacted the other party planning business before I came into contact with this evil person. I have included screen shots of her harassment. I have informed the police department and will take all legal measures should she continue to threaten and harass me. Her number is listed to show you she is the evil person behind these texts. Oh and she kept my money and did no work for what I paid her for. Keep that in mind. Google her. There is nothing but bad things written about her all over the internet let alone her google reviews. I should have read about all her unhappy customers and negative articles written To Veronica's comment: YOU are an absolute liar. I don't need to speak on whatever crap you're saying because a simple search of your google reviews will show all of the horrible reviews you have. If you google "blue ivy and Beyoncé" you can see articles of Beyoncé asking for a restraining order against this awful woman. Poor excuse for a human being! Literally everything she wrote in her response to my comment is a lie and don't entertain her BS! One simple google search will SHOW all her unhappy customers dating back YEARS!

Being in the wedding industry myself, I am extremely picky about who to entrust on our big day. Having a wealth of contacts to plan our own wedding, we undoubtedly knew Veronica was THE ONE for us! From our first interview with her she was on point, meticulous and had a back up plan for our "back up plan". She listened to our needs and wedding vision, kept me motivated and on time with my checklists and truly "got it". From day one I conveyed to her that we were looking for a "bulldog" day of coordinator/Superwoman that could handle a large wedding party (11 bridesmaids and 5 groomsmen), large family, out of towner guests and whatever drama might enfold. I wanted someone as detailed as I am, if not more but who truly cares and understands the entire process. We found all that in Veronica, and then some! Her attention to detail is above and beyond. She has her templates, checklists and timelines down to a science. The day of our wedding went off without a hitch (at least that I am aware of). That's what I call a GREAT day of coordinator. I was never concerned or bothered by things that came up because it was fixed before I even knew about it. She was there for us until the very end which was 1:00 AM and was so attentive and checked in on us often!! LOVE that! By the way, she's so much fun and had a blast singing/dancing along with her and our FAB DJ. Our family and friends fell in love with her as well, that I almost forgot she was my planner. :) In a good way that is. She was extremely professional but was so down to earth, she was like family. She's a friend for life!! I highly recommend her and her team. In conclusion: Do yourself a favor, stop looking and call Veronica for your big day!

I had a very clear vision in my head for what I wanted my wedding day to look like and it is as if the ladies of Whim crawled into my brain, sorted out the gazillion ideas I had floating around, and organized them into a very cohesive look. Every time I left meetings with Natalie and Moira I felt inspired, excited, and most importantly: less stressed!!! They are dream makers. The florals they provided for me were absolutely breathtakingly beautiful and guests are still gushing over them months later. Everything looked like a fairy tale. Natalie and Moira really knocked it out of the park and I am forever grateful.

As a bride, I didn't need a lot of help on the creative side, but Mandy's help was crucial to getting everything executed. Without her organization and recommendations for vendors, I guarantee we would have arrived at our wedding day with a lot of enthusiasm and very little actual wedding Also, I appreciated throughout the process that when I wanted to go with my own vendor or DIY, Mandy was very open to those ideas- I never felt pushed to choose someone she prefers to work with or anything like that. As a fellow wedding vendor, we have collaborated since and it has been a joy to watch her creative design and styling process as well. Mandy has extremely chic taste, and yet she is a chameleon when it comes to creating events and inspiration shoots that are unique, creative, and show incredible variety. It is always a pleasure to work with her and see what she comes up with. I highly recommend bringing Mandy in to make your planning process as smooth as possible, resulting in the wedding you wanted, elevated.

Our wedding planning was plagued…read morewith constantly changing COVID regulations and I was full of anxiety about how our big day would go. Allison and Sarah could not have been more comforting and proactive. Over email, phone, and video call, they put my mind at ease and I felt so prepared the day of my wedding, no matter what restrictions were in place. Allison could not have done a better job the day of. She built a great rapport with my family, bridal party, and the venue's event manager to ensure the day ran smoothly. She knew the schedule and set up like the back of her hand. When the timing of certain day-of activities changed last minute, she made sure to let me know of the changes and the night went on without issue. If it were not for COVID and my anxieties around how it would affect our wedding I likely would not have looked for an outside coordinator- our venue did provide one that began to work closely with us (and Allison) in the month or so before the wedding and I truly believe she would have done a comparable job in the day-of execution. But it's the long term commitment to the planning process that makes Without a Hitch special. And while our venue did not host many weddings during COVID, Without a Hitch planned so many, and had the experience and suggestions that made the wedding feel as normal as it possibly could. For any of my friends planning weddings at a less conventional venue or just want more support, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Without a Hitch, and more specifically Allison!

It was truly amazing to see how great and magnificent everything looked. The birthday lady was so taken aback by what had been done in her honor that she was at a loss for words.

Everyone in attendance was beyond themselves on how "over the top" the party was. Soraya is very easy to work with and helps her clients achieve their ultimate desired goals. She has a natural way of doing her thing and reassuring you that everything is going to be great that makes your stress level disappear. From planning to execution, Soraya is there and is involved in all aspects of the event. She is a very reliable and dependable person. She is resourceful, has a great attitude toward her work, is very respectful to her clients, and has an aptitude for great services and client satisfaction. Soraya and her team have brought nothing but pure joy to our hearts. She did a fantastic, marvelous job and we are truly elated to have chosen her for our event. Looking forward to the next one!!!

During our initial meeting we went to their warehouse and decided on what we wanted our vibe to be. We had a family friend who was going to put together some floral pieces to use for the mandap and everything seemed great The two stars came off for me during the wedding weekend. The team came to the venue early to set up the mandap and did not even ask us if we wanted to see it and didn't ask for our florals. We were supposed to have an arch, which also hadn't been put up. When I contacted Shruti her response was that we had to put the floral pieces up ourselves as it wasn't in the contract and the previous week the arch fell down so they decided not to put it up. That's the last thing a bride wants to hear at midnight before her wedding day. After I realizing that I was extremely upset, she spoke with my husband, and they agreed to send an employee the next morning to put up the florals, but it totally ruined my night. I also wasn't offered any portion of money back for not having an arch. The decor was beautiful in the end, but I'd have rather gone with someone who wouldn't have put me through that.

They specialize in non-traditional, same-sex, and green weddings (though I think they do other non-wedding events, parties, etc. too). We were coming from out of town and looking for an elopement package at a Boston-area hotel without success. Most of them said they had no space to hold the small ceremony at the hotel other than in a bedroom suite (I think it's kind of weird to get married in a bedroom!). Anyway, I came across It's About Time via a web search and I'm so glad that I used them to help me plan everything. Bernadette was extremely responsive to all of our emails and questions, was flexible with all of our requests, seemed to know exactly what she was doing, had great suggestions for vendors that were a perfect match for us, and made the day exactly as we envisioned. All of their wedding packages are custom made so you can include whatever is important to you, and skip the other stuff. Since we were coming from out of town and were a little stressed out about figuring out all the license and waiting period waiver stuff, she picked us up from the airport, personally took us directly to the clerk's office and the courthouse, and basically led us through the whole process! She found us a delightful little B&B that I never would have been able to locate on my own, and arranged for us to hold the ceremony in a common area there. She also found us a really fun photographer and am amazing officiant who was perfect for what we were looking for. Ditto on the flowers, cake, etc. Every detail was handled perfectly and we were able to really relax and just enjoy the weekend knowing she was taking care of all the details for us. And I thought the price for our package was quite reasonable. Anyway, I can't believe this company hasn't been written up yet but I'm glad to spread the word. I'd highly recommend It's About Time for couples coming from out of town, same-sex couples, and anyone else looking for someone to help make your wedding ceremony really special and customized and exactly the way you envision it.

I made an accessories appointment and they helped me look at belts, hairpieces (mostly the kind that would wrap around a bun, or pin-style hairpieces that could complement a veil), and earrings. It isn't a huge collection, but I did find both a belt and earrings! They can also do veils at the accessories appointments, but I already had one. This is a nicer place and the prices do reflect that. For reference, the belt was on the order of a few hundred dollars. This was more than I personally expected, but apparently it is handmade by a local artist, which makes sense. It is gorgeous and seems worth the price, but that is something to be aware of for folks like me who had no idea what wedding accessories go for! Lila was very helpful, and also directed me to some potential tailors for dress alterations.
