My elopement was published in The Knot magazine, while my wedding day was featured in BRIDES. I previously posted a review regarding my experience with Susan for my elopement, so this particular review is for my wedding day! Susan worked with me since day one of my wedding planning journey. She guided me throughout the entire process by providing valuable advices, helped me manage my budget, created vision boards, talked to various vendors, and handled **all the logistics. I would have been completely lost without her. There are SO MANY details that goes into a wedding that I would have never thought of. Throughout the process, Susan never let me down. She is reliable, professional, and so so soooo kind! Whenever there was a difficult situation or a hiccup along the process, Susan was always there to save the day. Hiring Susan as my wedding planner was truly one of THE best decisions. -vipa ammy c.

After our first meeting, we both had a great feeling about Susan and hired her as our wedding planner. Since then, she has been there to help and guide us along the way. Fast forward to 2020: the COVID-19 pandemic hit. Unfortunately, about two months before our wedding date, we decided to postpone it and elope this year instead. She took care of every single detail. She communicated with all our vendors, moved everything from our original wedding date to the new one in 2021, and promptly started working on the details for our elopement day. On November 15th, 2020, my husband and I eloped! Everything was absolutely perfect and more stunning than we could ever imagine. The entire process leading up to that day was fun, enjoyable, stress-free, and memorable. Having Susan as our wedding planner was the best decision we made. She is detail-oriented, organized, talented, and so incredibly sweet. One of the things I appreciate most is her communication skills. Anytime I had a question or concern, I could always count on her to get back to me. We are beyond grateful that she planned and officiated our special day :') We can't wait to see what's in store for next years big celebration :D

Where do I start? I don't know because Linda Luxe did it all!! This was my first time using an…read moreevent planner and I cannot imagine planning another celebration without one! From the moment i spoke with Linda Luxe about my birthday celebration and my vision, she not only reassured me it would be delivered but she also did a ton of research and sent me ideas to pick from. She planned my event in less than 3 weeks, got me in contact with all vendors, some of whom were abroad, (i ordered a dress and it got here on time!) She would call/text me frequently to check in with me and update me. She is super organized, and made a spread sheet of all the vendors and balances, this was super helpful. It was such attention to detail that reassured me she was the one for the job! Most importantly, she calmed my anxieties lol. We had a vendor call out day before the event because they were unwell and Linda immediately reassured me there would be a replacement and she made it happen. My party came off without a hitch, and all i had to focus on was having FUN! Linda Luxe, i appreciate your effort in planning my party and it will be forever etched in my memory She understood and executed my vision and i cannot wait to use her again for future celebrations.

Words alone cannot describe how thankful we are for Ellaine & her team at Premier Soirees!…read more After deciding 7 months ago that we were going to get married and have a fall wedding, we found a venue for a ceremony and reception and knew exactly what we wanted. But one thing we didn't plan to have was a wedding planner. When we were notified by the venue that a wedding planner is required for the day-of-wedding, we were given a few numbers of planners in the local area to call for interviews. We had talked to several prior to meeting Ellaine, none which felt like a right fit for us. So, we decided to do our own research as we were not in any luck from the list that was given to us. We came across a wedding website & blog and fell instantly in love with the story of the bride and groom and the beautiful details of their wedding. We had to find out more about their wedding planner. Coincidentally, Premier Soirees was going to be a vendor at a bridal show the following week. We freed up our schedule just so we can finally meet the lovely crew that was behind the making of a beautiful couple's story. We drove to the bridal show to introduce ourselves, even if it was for a brief minute. In the end, we walked out feeling confident that we may have found our match. We held off on researching and put together all our questions. We made our first phone call to Premier Soirees, left a voicemail and received a call back within that same hour by the owner Ellaine. Ellaine was very calm, organized and professional from the start. She answered all our questions and more. We met shortly after for a face-to-face consult. We knew right away this was the lady to plan our big day for us. We were struck by Ellaine's warmth, honesty and professionalism and how she cared more about us as a bride and groom. We hired Premier Soirees and It was the best decision we made! We are truly appreciative of Ellaine and everything she has done. Ellaine went beyond her duties in everything we asked her help with. She recommended all the best people and helped ease our wedding stresses. Ellaine scheduled and attended all vendor appointments with us. Ellaine was always available and responded to our emails whenever we had a question or suggestion and always help make recommendations for our wedding. Ellaine coordinated and effectively handled all follow-ups, details that we had either missed or not known about. On the day of our church rehearsal Ellaine came to meet our entourage and accommodated even the last-minute changes. We handed off 170 favors, programs, menu cards, escort cards and frames with pictures we wanted to use for our reception and Ellaine knew exactly what to make of them. We are so grateful for the help and work she saved us from doing ourselves!  Ellaine even allowed us to use some of her personal decor, complimenting to our theme. She pulled everything together and turned our dream into reality!! No deed was too big for Ellaine to handle. Ellaine created a detailed day-of-the wedding timeline and everything ran 100% smooth and on time. Our wedding was a complete success! Most people have told us it was one of the best weddings they've ever been to.  We are glad that everyone had such a great time - and we know it wouldn't have run as smoothly if we didn't hire Premier Soirees. As a bride and groom, we truly enjoyed our special day with friends and family. We owe Ellaine more than we can imagine. Our special day would not have happened have it not been for Premier Soirees. Truly an Unforgettable night!!  We were taken care of from start to finish and we have Ellaine and her team at Premier Soirees to be thankful for!!

I cannot express enough how thankful my husband and I are, for the time, energy and personal touch…read moreEllaine of Premiere Soirees put into each and every day leading up to, and of course the special day itself. Ellaine was recommended to us by another vendor we truly trust, and after my first meeting with Ellaine, all the hesitation of hiring a coordinator fell to the waste side. Truth be told, I had 2 other coordinators lined up to meet with later that week, of which I immediately cancelled the next day as my heart was set on Ellaine. She's confident, polished, poised, and was personally invested in every aspect of our big day to ensure our happiness. She remained constantly in contact with me every step of the way, which only made me feel that much more relieved that we were in good hands. I am a control freak by nature, ask anyone who works with me, who has gone through my "boot camp", and never once did I feel I had to flex my guns. Ellaine finalized our day of itinerary, contacted and confirmed all my vendors prior to the big day, took care of all my list minute items (even my forgotten gratuities owed to a couple vendors that I completely blanked on the night of, she handled it while we were on our honeymoon), all the while dealt with my family drama as it came and went. A few more bonus', she set up all of our decor, brought anything extra she had on hand (candles, table numbers, etc.) all at no additional cost, and contracted with us to set up our candy station (thank you gift to our guests), and worked with us on making sure it was within our budget. As many others before me, I have dreamed about our wedding since the day we said "I love you" and because of Ellaine and her ability to keep me at ease, we were able to live in the moment, and our wedding day was so much more than anything I could have ever dreamed of. Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts!!! We would recommend you to anyone and everyone!!!

When my dear friend told me she was getting married I offered to be her Wedding coordinator. Little…read moredid I know what I was getting myself into. I soon realized I was in over my head. Not wanting to hurt her or ruin her day I THANKFULLY found TEARS OF JOY on Instagram. It literally took ONE phone call to Adrienne and the rest is pretty much history. I'd offered to help as well but with work and my busy career it was almost impossible. But ADRIENNE was there EVERY single step of the way. She kept me up to date as to what was going on and what my friend had requested. Something about her calmed and reassured me. I only had one concern, that was to take care of my friend on her special day. Well the GIRLS of Tears of Joy surpassed that expectation tenfold and 100%. She coordinated every single detail to the tee and exactly like my friend wanted. On the big day these girls were there EVERY step of the way making sure my friends wishes went as planned. Her and her team even had the arduous task of sending away unwanted guests at the Brides request of course. But they did so with such professionalism and tact that it was to be admired. My friends day went off exactly as planned with Adrienne herself even making a last ditch to the reception location to fetch the brides bouquet that was accidentally left at the hotel. How she goy back to the wedding in time I will never know. Thats just what you get with these women. A group of "make it happeners". Her and her staff just go wayyy above the call of duty and what is expected. Which is exactly what I'm use to and what I expect. I'm so glad I took a chance and called on Tears of Joy. I can't thank Adrienne and Melanie enough for all their hard work and couldn't have done it without them. I was actually so impressed with their services that I hired them to plan my upcoming 45th Birthday Bash. I don't know what we are doing but as long as TEARS OF JOY is there it will be FABULOUSLY BEAUTUFIL!!! If you're looking for help to plan ANY event these girls are as good as it gets and as professional as it gets. You honestly won't regret using them. Again THANK YOU, THANK YOU TEARS OF JOY for all of your help!!!

ATTENTION BRIDES AND GROOMS ALL OVER THE GALAXY!!!…read more Question...how much do you love yourself and your future spouse? When my husband (yay) and I first started planning our wedding we thought "yeah, we got this". I know many of you reading this post are probably thinking the exact same thing (and perhaps you do), but trust me when I say...the best thing you could ever do for yourself and the biggest day of your life (so far) is to hire the team at Rebel Belle Weddings. Let's say, hypothetically speaking, you and future betrothed have all the free time in the world together to plan the wedding of your dreams...unless you work in the wonderful world of weddings do you really know what you're doing? 6 months into our planning and after watching a million wedding shows (as many brides to be do) I decided that at the very least I wanted a planner to take charge the day of. After doing a ton of research I found Laura and Megan at Rebel Belle. Initially what drew me in was their quirky sensibility and the fact that these ladies looked tough (we knew we were going to need someone to wrangle all our guests). The most amazing thing happened after meeting Laura (or Street Fight as we lovingly call her) we decided not only did we want her for our day of, but also for her full planning expertise. Laura set us straight that day in the best way, we realized not only did we need, but we deserved someone to barter, bargain and back us up. Here's the thing, I was foolish to think that not hiring a wedding planner would save us money to pay for other things. The reality of the situation is that Rebel Belle paid for themselves 10 fold! Within a week of signing the contract Laura hooked us up with a caterer from her VIP vendor list. Not only did her VIP have a better menu than any on our venue's preferred list but also cost less than the buy out fee (we had to pay to get an outsider caterer) and total cost of food combined! Every vendor they referred us to gave us deal after amazing deal. Not only were each vendor experts in their field but also truly amazing human beings. Rebel Belle has a posse and you want to get to know them! I could go on for days about these amazing women who I am lucky enough to call friends, but I'll cut it short and return to my first question...how much do you love yourself and your future spouse? I've talked to many of my married friends and each of them said they were at eachother's throats throughout the planning process. I almost feel guilty. Planning the most amazing day of my life (which it was, so far) with my husband, Laura and Megan was seriously the most fun I had since my party days in college! So if you love your honey, like I love mine, you'll hire Rebel Belle Weddings. Let go of the stress, stay on budget, get everything you deserve and have the most fun ever! These ARE the planners you've been looking for!

Hi, my name is Jennifer... and I'm a control freak. I do marketing and events for a living, so when…read moreit came to our big day, I was planning this thing down to the most minute detail... so anyone working with us needed to have a near OCD level of "on top of things." We were also planning a very unique day, one that combined more than TEN different areas of our collective geek passions (Star Wars, Star Trek, Doctor Who, etc), so anyone working with us needed to be fluent in geek speak. Enter Laura and her Rebel Belle team. There are no words for what a godsend Rebel Belle was for our day. We hired them to consult with us throughout the process,help us with vendors, reign us in when necessary, but more often than not, encourage us to let our geek flag fly and make our ideas bigger and better. As we got down to the wire, Laura (who completely understood my level of obsessive planning) sat me down and said, "Jen, I'm going to need you to give me this wedding, I've got this." And you know what? She and her team had every single detail (from the matching custom centerpiece, chargers and menu card wraps, to the correct placement of the Stormtroopers) flawlessly executed. I was truly able to enjoy the day and didn't worry about a thing (which is no small feat for me). We had a complete trust in Laura and her team to make our day everything we wanted and more, and they went above and beyond. Laura and her team are brilliant, professional, fun, and truly lovely people (but are tough when they need to be!). We couldn't have done it without them, and recommend that you don't either. :)

Inna pulled off the impossible - bringing to life our vision of a beautiful Fall Garden Boho-ethereal Wedding in merely 3 months! With just few months to plan for a medium-sized wedding, I needed a Monica Geller from Friends! Inna was all that and more. She was organized and meticulous in her planning, effective in managing the budget, very experienced, resourceful and well-connected to a variety of vendors. Nexa has a list of trusted vendors that they work with, including MC, DJ, photography/videography and florist, and they were all excellent! In a very short time, Inna found many stunning wedding venues, negotiated and secured our top-choice. It was also very easy and comfortable communicating with Inna. We connected immediately, and she quickly understood my aesthetics and vision for the wedding. But most importantly, I loved working with Nexa because Inna made me feel like she and I are working together to animate a very special day of my life and not someone I had commissioned to plan an event. I hope you guys understand the magnitude of this difference. Have Inna plan your next event, and you will appreciate how wonderful she is! P.S. Inna's husband, Aleksei Chebeliuk, is an award-winning celebrity accordionist who works alongside Inna as Nexa's MC. During our wedding reception, as a kind and utmost generous gesture, Aleksei surprised and graced our ears with his accordion (pic attached). Thank you, Inna & Aleksei; it was such a beautiful wedding gift! Not only are you guys extremely good at what you do, you do it with the most precious heart and genuine kindness. I hope we get to work again!

Seriously.... u cannot find anyone better. At 12 midnight,…read moreI dropped a message hoping my last minute quest of searching MC for my daughter's 6th bday party. He replied in instant! Quest ended in less than 5mins. Yes, odd for a toddler bday to have an MC but there were 140 people and we needed someone to lead the party. Alexsei came earlier than us preparing for the party. He even went out of his way to bring a red carpet for the photo zone. I requested him to play some funny games he probably never heard of but he managed to pull it off like it was his. We had 7 dwarfs and my daughter was the snow white. He made all 7 dwarfs dancing to the beat and little kids followed them. Great choice of music tok. His partner quietly supported Alexsei to do everything right. I will be seeing him every year. Thank you! Did I say he was the last one to leave the party?
