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!

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.

Her team was absolutely fabulous, so kind, detailed-oriented, and they executed everything at the highest level. 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.

We also unexpectedly increased our budget part-way through planning, and Allison rolled with it and added such wonderful things. She's creative and flexible.

I highly recommend BWP Floral for any event!

BWP is absolutely incredible. I told Allison about my vision for modern minimalist ikebana flower…read morearrangements at my wedding, and she delivered unbelievably beautiful and artistic arrangements beyond my wildest dreams. My draping bridal bouquet with orchids, sweet peas, long spur columbine, and scapes was so beautiful it should be on the cover of Bride magazine. I didn't think it could get better, but the centerpieces at the tables blew me away. They were effortless ikebana masterpieces proudly standing in open bowls. She carefully constructed a perfect balance: the poetic negative space of striking meandering native poppies and scapes, the thrill of statement long spur columbine, the romance of dangling foxglove, and the ephemeral whisps of deep red smoke bush. I hadn't seen this type of work in her portfolio before my wedding, and I didn't think it was possible for a florist to execute a vision so different from all other wedding arrangements. Not to mention, I only gave BWP about a week to execute this project! Allison proved to me that she can do anything, and with just a few pictures as her inspiration, she created something new and more beautiful than anything I have ever seen. Thank you, BWP, for creating the art that defined a perfect evening for me and my guests.

As soon as we met with Jen as a prospective planner, we knew she was the one! Having eloped just…read morethe two of us earlier in the year, we wanted a celebration with family and friends that was anything but traditional - Jen knew exactly what our vision was and brought it to life better than we could have imagined! From the cocktail party to the after party, everything was exactly the Manhattan party of our dreams. Planning a party in New York while living in California definitely gave us pause, but Jen was there every step of the way to scout out venues, florists, food, etc. and kept us in the loop whenever we could not be there in person. As party planning amateurs, we relied heavily on Jen for florist, photographer, caterer, hair/makeup, etc. recommendations and she did not disappoint! Jen and her team were amazing on the day of our party, taking care of every detail and allowing us to have the most stress-free and fun day to celebrate with those closest to us - we cannot thank A Taylored Affair, Jen and her team enough for such an unforgettable event!!

Jen is the number one best wedding planner - period. We knew we wanted a planner right away, I read…read morea few reviews about Jen online and reached out. She immediately responded, sending me a calendar invite for our first chat (I appreciated that organization!) and I could hear in her voice that she was real, invested, creative and hardworking. And that was just the beginning. We worked together for 7 months or so, she found us our venue, dance teacher later, videographer, ordered us last minute late night wedding pizzas, helped with gift bags, invites, and ON AND ON. She helped us save $ with creative wedding hacks, always responded to a barrier or stumbling block (like vendors being booked or something not quite coming in the way we'd hoped) with a thoughtful solution. She NEVER let us down. Her mind is quick and she truly wants your wedding to be everything YOU want it to be, so you can give her your honest feedback on things you like, things you don't and she bounces along with you to keep cranking it all out while keeping you calm, and subtly giving you hints of what to think about next without EVER making me feel overwhelmed. On a human level, Jen is a star, the kind of person you can tell is a solid friend - she really brings that humanity, the fun, the candor and the humanness to the insanity that can be the wedding industry. HIRE HER, you're welcome :)

After interviewing several wedding planners, we made the decision to hire Jackie Travers, and I can…read morehonestly say she is worth every penny. We went with her full planning service package, and worked with her over 16 months. Nothing fazes her -- we changed our plan from an at-home wedding in CT to using a venue in Manhattan, and it was no issue. She is incredibly responsive, and replied to my many, many emails in a timely manner. She helped us secure ideal vendors, kept us on track with our planning tasks, and put together an incredible day-of timeline. Her attention to detail is superb, as is her familiarity with contracts and her skill for negotiation (Jackie was actually previously an attorney!). The wedding day itself was an absolute dream. Jackie and her assistants dealt with any problems before we even heard about them, making sure we were able to enjoy our wedding day without stress. They dealt with even the most minor of tasks, like helping organize the hotel suite for the first look, steaming my dress after the photographs, and even helping me get in to my dress. They also made sure everyone was where they needed to be at all times, ensured that we were fed and watered, and looked after our wedding party and parents. I would consider myself a fairly demanding person who has extremely high standards. Jackie knocked this out of the park and we are so impressed by her professionalism and planning skills. Most importantly, Jackie is kind, caring, and warm. By the end of the wedding planning process, we really felt like we were working with a friend. Our friends and family all absolutely raved about what a great job Jackie and her team did making all the moving parts of our wedding come together seamlessly. We are recommending Jackie and Busy Bride Planning to everyone we know.

She thought of things that I hadn't even thought of to consider and made sure that everything was ticked and tied leading up to the wedding, including creating an extensive run of show. She even helped us find a videographer three days before the big event!

From the beginning, they asked thoughtful questions to understand our needs and wants better, took thorough notes, and many months later recalled and referenced even the smallest details that we had mentioned at our first meeting. They laid out timelines, kept track of contracts and budgets, the gave us a heads up on what we would be tackling next and when. I felt confident everything would come together at all times. There was never a frantic moment in the planning process. They knocked every vendor recommendation out of the park and never pushed us in any one direction and brought an element of calming reassurance to the whole process. They made everything so stress-free, and I felt like we were in such good hands the whole way through but especially on the day itself where they were both so present, calm, and helpful. I know people always say that something will go wrong on your wedding day and to just let go, but thanks to TKE I can honestly say nothing went wrong!

Our celebration had 100 guests coming to Westchester, NY from all over the world, with a ceremony at the historic Old Dutch Church in Sleepy Hollow and the reception at Windrose-on-Hudson. Featuring a blend of different cultural traditions and fully bilingual events, this wedding had a lot of moving parts! With Unruffled as our Month-Of Coordinators, everything came off perfectly. We had the pleasure of working with both Emily and Kritzie in our planning sessions. Kritzie, Genesis, and Robert took care of us on the big day. The Unruffled team could not have been more thoughtful, patient, accommodating, and attentive. From the welcome questionnaire to the planning meetings to the site visits to the rehearsal to the wedding day itself, they were not only organized and helpful, but a very calming presence. Their deep attention to detail allowed us to trust that everything big and small would get taken care of, and everything indeed came out perfectly. Because Kritzie and Emily really took the time to get to know us, they were able to make many helpful suggestions throughout the planning process (and during the wedding day itself) that perfectly aligned with and complemented our vision for the event. Kritzie did a great job working with our other vendors, including our reception venue, where we were the first wedding they ever held. On the wedding day, Kritzie and Genesis kept everything moving smoothly without being intrusive at all. We were able to really enjoy our wedding because we knew they had everything well in hand. Robert took amazing video of our private Tea Ceremony (before the professional videographer arrived), and was on top of troubleshooting any minor hiccups throughout the day (clutch job quickly fixing the cocktail hour speaker!). Our families, the church, the reception venue, and our vendors also uniformly (and completely unprompted!) told us that Kritzie and the whole team were the best wedding coordinators that they had ever worked with - high praise indeed! We consider ourselves lucky to have worked with Kritzie, Emily, Genesis, and Robert. I can't stop thinking about how spectacular and perfect and fun our wedding was, and that was in no small part due to their help! We are very grateful and cannot recommend them highly enough! Thank you!

Hiring Veronica for our wedding as our Day of Coordinator was the best decision that we made during…read morethe 27-month wedding planning process. From the moment I spoke with her, I could tell that she was someone I could trust to make sure that our day was amazing. I am a perfectionist to a fault, and I had very specific ideas and needs for the wedding. I was worried that I wouldn't find someone who could do as good a job as I could with organization, delegation, and accuracy. But she remembered every single detail. She also handled some larger issues - such as helping me with the shuttles. We needed shuttles for 130 people to leave the venue at essentially the same time - and I could not find a 3rd shuttle. She was able to book me an additional coach bus within 4 days of the wedding - that honestly saved the day. I also asked her to come to the florist with us so she could see our 'vision', since it was a bit more than just putting flowers on tables. When I arrived at the venue, I saw that she took our vision and made it even better! She added touches of gold and lights and greenery in places I didn't think to decorate, and it looked amazing. She was with me the entire night, keeping the sleeves of my dress from falling, helping me with eyedrops when I couldn't see, and constantly checking in with our band, maître d', and photographers to make sure everything was running smoothly. She got us through the mid-reception family photos (which I thought would be a disaster time-wise) so quickly, and was truly managing the time for the entire night. All of the vendors raved about her, and said her communication and precision was impeccable - and that she had great improvisation skills for whenever things did go a bit astray. I didn't have to worry about anything the entire evening, and that was the best feeling ever. Veronica is great at what she does - which is making sure your day is amazing. She is professional, great at communication, and she makes you feel safe. You can trust her completely, and know that your day will be in the best hands possible.
