Jane was so kind and interested in the vision we were going after, and even though we threw things at her she hadn't worked on before (like an Indian Mandap) she executed flawlessly on what we were looking for.

I cannot recommend Laura enough! She was truly one of the best vendors I worked with for my wedding…read moreat Hudson House on May 1, 2026. From our very first conversation, Laura was incredibly kind, patient, and understanding. I had a specific vision for my flowers, but I was also nervous and unsure of exactly how everything would come together. She took the time to listen to every detail, answer my questions, and reassure me throughout the entire process. Whenever I had feedback or wanted to make adjustments, she was receptive, flexible, and genuinely invested in making sure I felt confident and excited about the final design. One thing that was especially important to me was avoiding greenery in my arrangements, and Laura completely understood my vision. She welcomed my input, made thoughtful adjustments, and never made me feel like I was being too particular. Instead, she made me feel heard and supported every step of the way. One of the things that made the biggest difference was being able to visit her flower shop and see mock-ups of the floral designs in person. Laura took the time to create sample table settings with the flowers and candles so I could visualize exactly how everything would look on the wedding day. Seeing the arrangements come to life in person was invaluable and gave me so much confidence in the design. It allowed us to fine-tune every detail and create the exact romantic, elegant look we were hoping for. When I walked into my wedding and saw the flowers for the first time, I was speechless. My bouquet was absolutely breathtaking--full, lush, romantic, and even more beautiful than I had imagined. Every arrangement was stunning and elevated the entire look and feel of the day. It was everything I dreamed of and more. What sets Laura apart is not only her incredible talent, but also how much she genuinely cares about her clients. She went above and beyond to bring my vision to life, and the end result exceeded every expectation I had. Looking back at my wedding photos, I still can't get over how beautiful the florals were.

Manhattan florists won't deliver to Jersey ? Save me, Yelp…read more Yelp steered me to Laura Clare Floral Design (thank you!). My request: An arrangement suitable for a bride-to-be who loves Alexander McQueen Carolyn took great care with my order and took the time to ensure the finer details were correct (style, card message, name spellings), and she was very personable as well. In short, Carolyn provided great customer service. Not only was the floral arrangement beautiful (see photo), Laura Clare Floral Design stayed within the budget I gave them, and they delivered on time. FYI -- Other florists in the area have great Yelp reviews as well, but you'll quickly find they are simply reselling the same Teleflora arrangements. Note: They're closed on Sunday and Monday (no deliveries on these days)

We found The Unruffled bride through Reddit and after seeing so many positive reviews we were…read moreexcited to book them for our wedding! Unfortunately the reality didn't line up at all with what reviewers were saying. After we put down the deposit, Rebecca was virtually impossible to get ahold of, each time giving a different excuse (she disappeared for 2 weeks saying she caught a fever then another week saying her phone was in the shop). I had to ask repeatedly for her to deliver the most basic things (confirmation of the latest plan, a run of show timeline, contact my vendors, literally anything) and she never did, often getting upset with me for even asking. Most of my vendors said they didn't hear a word from her til they met her the day of the wedding. So what should have been a seamless process was all over the place. The day of was worse. They didn't play our song as we walked down the aisle, left the ceremony venue a mess (so much so that my wife and I had to return to clean the venue ourselves the next day), messed up our seating chart despite several emails with super clear instructions and dropped the ball on almost everything we asked them to do. You truly get what you pay for here. Unless you like working on your wedding hire a different coordinator.

Luis was an absolute star day-of coordinator for our wedding day. He fielded our many emails and…read morequestions leading up to the event with kindness and patience, and encouraged us to call or text with any updates as the day drew closer. He created an extremely detailed timeline for our wedding day and coordinated with all vendors to make sure everyone was on the same page. On the day of, he kept us on schedule almost down to the minute, and responded to any unexpected events calmly and with professionalism and positivity. He set up our decor just as we'd envisioned (and sometimes even better), and at the end of the night packed it up just as carefully. We especially appreciated how attentive he was to our parents and to our guests with dietary restrictions. Whether it was reworking floral arrangements to create an extra boutonniere just before family photos, or enlisting the venue coordinator to repair our cake topper in the middle of the reception when we thought it was beyond saving, we were consistently impressed with Luis's dedication, resourcefulness, and professionalism. I am naturally a very anxious person, but as soon as I saw Luis in action I knew that I could relax and that he had everything under control. At the end of the night he even personally followed the delivery driver back to our hotel to ensure our decor was returned safely. Many of our guests commented on how smoothly everything ran and how much fun they had. We can't thank Luis enough for going above and beyond to ensure we had a truly enjoyable and memorable wedding!

When we started planning our wedding, we had a clear vision. We knew we had the ability to handle…read moremany details ourselves. Still, we made the decision to bring in an expert to elevate our ideas and bring them to life the right way. After attending a wedding expo, we felt overwhelmed. We interviewed several planners. From our first meeting, Stacey removed every fear we had. She listened carefully. She understood our vision. She gave us structure, direction, and confidence from day one. For a full year, Stacey and her team guided us through every step. She managed everything. From our stationery to the napkins. From the overall theme to the décor with the florist. She coordinated vendors, negotiated contracts, and kept every moving part aligned. Everything was handled in a timely fashion. Nothing was rushed. Nothing was late. Every detail landed exactly when it needed to. She saved us money. She saved us time. She eliminated stress. I am someone who likes control. It was hard for me to hand the reins over to someone else. But it was extremely liberating to watch an experienced professional take charge. I stopped worrying about logistics. I started enjoying the process. That shift changed everything for us. Our wedding was one week after Christmas. While most people were still in holiday mode, Stacey was in constant communication with vendors. She stayed ahead of issues we did not even know existed. She protected the timeline and kept everything moving. During wedding week, Stacey and her team went above and beyond. They showed up early. They followed through. They anticipated needs before anyone had to ask. On the wedding day, everything ran like a Swiss watch. The timing was precise. The transitions were seamless. We were able to stay present and enjoy every moment because Stacey was executing behind the scenes. We feel blessed to have had Stacey guide us through this journey. She became more than our planner. She became a true friend, and she will remain one. If you are feeling overwhelmed like we once did, trust Stacey. She has the experience, the network, and the leadership to deliver at the highest level. We wish Stacey and her team nothing but continued success. Love, Melissa & Duff

I had a relatively small wedding in the Hamptons and assumed early on that I could figure out most of the details myself. I quickly realized that nothing compares to having experts like them who know how to handle any last minute issue and have wealth of experience working with vendors/venues across NYC. Chelsea had great recommendations for vendors I neglected to look into earlier on in the process and was a huge help in making sure critical details, such as the rain plan, were worked out. Where the team really excels is making sure you do not deal with any stress on the day of the wedding and focus on having fun. I was so impressed with how professional, patient, kind and calming the entire team was. They made sure the bridal parties all were on schedule, vendor setups were done on time, food was set aside for my husband/I during cocktail hour, swapped out my heels when they saw I was in pain and even ran back to the house when we forgot our marriage license. These are just some of the little details the team took care of so we didn't have to worry about anything. They truly are your eyes and ears and it was such a relief knowing they got it handled. They truly love their jobs and their passion for what they do shines. Please do yourself a favor and hire Brilliant Events! I'm recommending them to all my friends for their weddings and events.

Admittedly, I hired Brilliant Event Planning at the 11th hour leading up to my wedding, right at the two month point when everything started to become overwhelming and all-consuming. Chelsea jumped right into action, handling most everything from that point forward. Hiring Brilliant Event Planning, and more specifically Chelsea and her team, was one of the best choices I made and I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Choosing Dulce Dreams as my wedding planning service was hands down THE BEST decision I made…read moreregarding my wedding. From the start to finish, Dulce Dreams went above and beyond to meet my every desire as a bride. From vendor meetings, to suggestions on decor elements and such, I always felt like I had a valuable resource at my side. I truly appreciated Dulce Dreams for their professionalism and flawless execution of my wedding day. It was quite simply- flawless. The wedding planner Ashley made me feel so comfortable from the start and I felt like she truly took time to listen and see through my vision. It came to a point where it felt like Ashley knew more about my wedding than I did. Every minor little detail was handled and addressed. I can't thank Dulce Dreams enough. You will thank your lucky stars if you choose to work with this vendor.

At first I had a very stressful time looking for a wedding planner. Planning a wedding is…read morestressful, spending more money than you have ever spent on a single day is overwhelming! I didn't know exactly what a wedding planner did or if I needed one. Trust me you need a wedding planner especially Ashley! My husband and I refer to her as our angel, she made every stressful moment melt away. Ashley basically choreographs the evening from beginning to end, she makes sure everything gets delivered on time, staff is present, wedding favors, decorations, guestbook, polaroid cameras everything is accounted for. She makes sure the place settings are perfect that all name tags are in the right spot at the right table, that my husband and I are comfortable the entire night and that guests have everything they need. What doesn't she do? She starts planning with you months in advance, she gave us a timeline with due dates so we knew what we needed to be accountable for, I loved this. On your wedding day she is the first one there and the last one to leave making sure everything gets broken down swept up and left cleaner than you found it. I was so nervous the day of my wedding I forgot to bring my vows she had them printed on site. She was available at all times throughout the planning process. I was late in the game to find a dress and she came with me so I didn't have to go alone. We were in the heart of Brooklyn running around in the rain and we found my dream dress. I can't say enough great things about her, she is just a real down to earth hard working woman who is smart, sweet, and the kind of person you want to have at your side when you want your day to be perfect. She is very organized, has a great understanding of where to go based on the style of dress you're looking for, has great recommendations for veils, flowers, music, photography, really anything you need. A few times I was worried about sticking within my budget and she was very helpful to research with me in order to stick to that. Our wedding was non-traditional and she was perfectly in line with whatever we wanted to do. She encouraged us to make the day 100% about us, which really helped in the decision making process. After all was said and done I gained a friend from the whole experience. I would highly recommend Ashley to anyone that wants to work with someone that has complete devotion and passion for what they do. She is the best, hurry up and book her...I promise every decision you make after that will be a piece of cake.

I loved Jennifer Bates Design. She was so amazing and helpful to make my wedding day special…read more Beyond the words "outdoor and rustic", less than three weeks before the Bid Day, my (soon to be) husband and I were still not sure of the look we wanted for our wedding. Jenn used her magic touch to create a beautiful, simple, yet elegant spring picnic theme. Keeping my budget in mind, she walked me hand-in-hand through several stores looking for the perfect center pieces. Her creativity shined through when i picked up a few lanterns I liked, but had no idea what to do with. Right there in the store she created several beautiful examples for me of what they could look like. I'm pretty sure a store clerk copied it for the store window after we left. :) In addition to my wedding, Jen also set up our beach house for the rehearsal dinner. We were married the day before Easter and keeping all attendees in mind, she surprised the children with fun things to do during the rehearsal dinner, including fun games and Easter egg painting. I loved everything Jenn created for our wedding. I seriously had tears going down my face when I saw the reception area for the first time, fortunately that was before the make-up was applied. All the hard work that went into planning this wedding to make the ceremony and reception amazing paid off. Thank you SO MUCH!
