We really appreciated their willingness to work within our budget, and that they had a recommended list of vendors to work with that they trusted (at various price points!). On the day of the wedding, they did an amazing job putting us at ease (despite tropical storm conditions) and in orchestrating a completely seamless day. I can't recommend them enough!

Upon getting engaged, we learned that the very idea of putting on a wedding (amid a global health crisis, no less) is about as daunting of a task as my wife and I could ask for. But from the very first moment of meeting Brittney, all of our fears and anxieties about the process dissipated into thin air. We connected immediately to Brittney's calm, collected demeanor and were immensely impressed by how organized and thoughtful she was about the months-long journey we had in front of us. From proposal to "I do," Brittney was always there for us, providing both logistical and emotional support. Her work is top notch and you simply cannot do better than BLB Events for your wedding.

Our wedding was a…read morefairytale and it is all due to the extremely hard work, organization and friendly demeanor Michelle had delivered from day 1 when meeting with her. I had no idea how much work and how difficult planning a wedding could be but Michelle sent me checklist after checklist to keep me organized and as stress free as a bride could possibly be (there's still stress no matter what...you're getting married let's be real). We had a 200 person wedding out in Montauk and Michelle introduced herself well in advance to all vendors previously even though she did not technically start working for us until the last 6 weeks. She was on top of every detail to make sure that this wedding would be exactly as I had envisioned and it was beyond that in the end. She and her team were completely behind the scenes but if you ever needed anything they would magically appear and help you with any little need. It was incredible. As the bride, I did not need to stress about lost guests, wedding party members, photographers, the band...nothing! She did it all with her team and it made my wedding the dream I am still falling asleep to. Thank you Michelle for everything and I plan on referring you to all my future bride-to-be friends!!

Let me first say, I"ve lived in New York City for 21 years (as of tomorrow.) And, anyone who lives…read morehere, and has ever tried to plan an event, knows, one of the hardest things to find is an exception event planner who is as efficient and attentive to details, as she brilliant at taking the reigns and making everything perfect. There are probably 100 horrible "event planners" for every amazing one. Finally, I've found someone who is both top drawer, and beyond talented at what she does. And that person/company is Ruth Lapin Events, hands down. I first met Ruth Lapin years ago at a function. She impressed right off the bat, and dazzled me. So, when I began looking for an event planner, the first name that came to mind was Ruth Lapin. Actually, I should say, the ONLY name that came to mind was Ruth Lapin. You know what I'm saying? Anyone who has ever tried to coordinate something as "simple" as a toast at a cocktail gathering or even a child's birthday party understands that event planning can be an ordeal. It's like, "schedule,s, details and last minute emergencies, OH MY!" I have an event coming up, and thought of having to deal with the vendor, negotiate a decent price (by New York standards), vet the people who are doing the serving, the food prep and cooking, the teeny tiny details that start seeming like nails on a chalkboard, the whiners and criers, the family (and ALL their drams), the backup plan for an outdoor event (in case it should rain), etc ... Seriously, do you want to start playing the price game with the vendor who will only sell and deliver the specific napkins (or the personalized t-shirts) if you buy a minimum of some crazy number that's 100 times more than you actually have use for? Moreover, Ruth has exquisite tastes. And, most importantly, she takes the time to talk to you, listen and really understand what it is that you want, not what she thinks you should want. So I'm always confident that what she's going to come back with, and suggest is going to be conceived and created from my vision and my wants and needs. She also has such an eye for design, inevitably she's added some elements that you never considered because you didn't know enough to consider them. I love the vibe. I love the positive energy. I love the synergy of working together. Never once, in all the years I've worked with Ruth, has she disappointed me. In fact, quite the opposite. She's always impressed me in new and exciting ways. Ruth Lapin is who I want to be when I grow up!

She planned my favorite cousin's…read moreincredible wedding at Capitale at which I was [the overly involved] maid of honor, and it was just the loveliest occasion. No stone was left unturned, she thought of every last detail, recommended the most talented vendors, it was just such a relief for my cousin to have someone navigate, always taking into account the personality, vision, and budget of the couple. In this case, the bride and groom did not always see eye to eye, but Ruth was able to "marry" their divergent visions, both were so delighted by the outcome, and we all had the best time. She seems so well-connected and well-liked in the industry, and she's extremely affable, warm, and witty. I recommended her to my best friend, who is finally getting married to his gay partner of twenty years, can't wait to see what she whips up for this fabulous pair.

Though there's no price that I'd consider enough to highlight her services, her pricing is affordable for all. If I had advice for any bride it is to 100% invest in a day-of/month-of coordinator to ensure you have the best day. Coordinators are there to intercept drama and problems, give advice and tips during the planning process, and to make sure you're mind is free of stress to enjoy the day. I can't recommend B'burg Events enough!

Both Phoebe and Aris were communicative from start to finish and totally on top of things leading up to and throughout the event. Aris was a delight to work with day-of. I highly recommend working with B'Burg!

I'm not even sure where to start with my review. I was in a very desperate situation that turned…read moreout to be a blessing in disguise. I was married on 10/7/2023 and Details Made Simple (Carla) made sure it was the most beautiful, and least anxiety provoking day. I had previously booked a Day Of Coordinator in March 2023. This DOC promised me the world and more for my October 2023 wedding. We'll fast forward to August 2023 meeting with my venue, I was alone and freaking out. My DOC (not Carla) bailed on me for the venue meet, and made me feel like I was panicking for no reason with a timeline that will be formulated week before wedding. (Again not Carla) Thanks to my maid of honor coming through with an amazing recommendation, I was given Carlas's number after feeling defeated and upset with my previous DOC not supporting me or showing up for me when necessary. After 2 hour conversation with myself and my mom, I immediately felt at ease with Carla. My concerns were validated as "No way should a timeline be started 1 week before event". With many tears had during our initial conversation, that night I slept the best I had in all my wedding planning with Carla coming to my rescue and the rest is history. Details Made Simple is just that, Details Made Simple. From hiring (DMS) that August evening to my wedding on October 7, 2023, I was in The best hands Possible!!! We had a few phone calls in the weeks leading up to the wedding, and the month leading up to the wedding, myself and Carla were in contact regularly. She never hesitated to answer and email, a text or a phone call. I received updated timelines in my email on the regular, she contacted any vendors with whatever tasks were still not done, to her absolutely loving on my 3 year old niece on my wedding day, Carla was like having an extremely organized "family"member take charge and make sure myself, my husband and my bridal party had nothing to worry about on the wedding day. I can not speak highly enough about DMS services, professionalism and overall delivery of event planning. Carla, I am forever grateful to you! P.S. Carla was not available for my rehearsal at the church, but we had her team member Shadé. Also AMAZING. We were not an easy group and she got EVERYONE in place and running our ceremony as it was supposed to be. Thank you Shadé for being there for us!

On our wedding day, Andrea not only organized and managed all of the nitty gritty details, but she also ensured that my husband and I were relaxed and enjoying our day. There were a few moments where I found myself getting nervous or overwhelmed, and Andrea's calming presence and words of wisdom really helped to keep me focused.

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!

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 :)
