On your wedding day, let me handle the behind-the-scenes details so that you (and your parents and wedding party) can enjoy time with the people who've come from all over to share your special day with you.

We could not have been happier to have Victoria on our team for our July 2024 wedding! We hired Victoria for wedding day management. She went above and beyond throughout our planning process and made us feel like we were her top priority, even though we know she works with many couples throughout the wedding season. Her organization, attention to detail, and patience are unmatched. The BEO that she creates for the wedding day was so informative and detailed and brought so much joy to this Type A bride! During planning, I was struggling with the color scheme and table design for the reception. Victoria came to my rescue and helped design our table scapes and handled all correspondence with the rentals company. The outcome was absolutely stunning and I could not have been happier. Similarly, I did not know how to go about creating the timeline for our transportation and wedding day. Victoria provided this for us and it was seamless and so easy. Our family and wedding party were so impressed with how she ran our wedding rehearsal. On the wedding day itself, she made sure that the day flowed smoothly. From collecting and setting up all of our day-of details, orchestrating the flow of our wedding ceremony, and even bustling my wedding dress, she was involved in every aspect of our day and ensured that it was perfect. My husband and I could relax and be fully present knowing that Victoria had everything under control. I cannot recommend Victoria and Everlasting Affairs highly enough!

Abby is a no brainer hire! Incredibly thoughtful, experienced, knowledgeable, intuitive, comprehensive, kind, and affordable! We were on a pretty tight budget so we hired Abby for her partial planning/day-of coordination and I can’t imagine what we would have done without her. I planned everything myself but as soon as she came on board, I felt so much comfort and relief knowing my wedding was in good hands and I could focus on other things. She is the definition of PRO. We had event staff bail the night before and she was able to find an amazing team of folks to fill their shoes! She ran our rehearsal like a well-oiled machine. She saw me dancing with my new husband with an empty drink in my hand and quickly swooped in to grab it; it’s the little things that tell you she’s putting you first on the most important day of your life. My entire wedding party adored her and even invited her out to the after party! If I could give her 50 stars I would. As my bridesmaids would say, QUEEN ABBY FOREVER. ️

Years of working large scale events means that Carin is able to be calm amid chaos and anticipate the needs of the couples she serves, ensuring your day is memorable while being as stress-free as possible.

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Carin to coordinate a complex wedding with a lot of custom elements designed by us and our friends and family. She did an incredible job - our guests all told us what a great time they had, and how much they loved our choices - but the execution was all Carin. Before the wedding, she listened to what we wanted and made sure to ask us everything she needed to know. Then, as the day got close, we didn't have to worry even a bit. Carin handled it all and we were able to concentrate on the ceremony. She did a great job reading the room and figuring out the logistics at the same time, so that from arrival to ceremony to cocktail hour to dinner, to dancing, the evening had a flow that felt organic and natural. Us newlyweds and our guests barely had to think at all. But it was because of Carin's thoughtful and sharp coordination that it felt this way. She was keeping it running behind the scenes, making all the right calls as things came up, like a trusted general in the field. It's hard to express how happy we are with how it all turned out. We'll remember this wedding the rest of our lives, and we got to do it our way, but with a level of professionalism and execution we never could have achieved by ourselves. There's not a lot of coordinators who can do that - who can honor the vision entirely but put all the pieces together. Carin made it happen. (PS - we also hired Carin's partner, Jacob, as our wedding DJ - he did a great job too, reading the room, keeping the party going, and working seamlessly with Carin to keep the flow of the party. They book separately, and you could always choose your own DJ, but we recommend Jacob highly and were glad we went with him.)

My fiancé and I got engaged and then promptly avoided wedding planning as it seemed pretty overwhelming! We were lucky to connect with Val early on and booked a Clarity Session with her. This ended up being a valuable investment that has made wedding planning significantly easier for us even today. After chatting with her for about an hour, Val was able to synthesize exactly what we wanted from her strategic questions. Not only was it a comfortable and nonjudgmental space to share in, Val left us with her insights on what was clearly important to us, and a few different ways to incorporate our values into our big day. Her experience in planning these kinds of large-scale, high pressure events really shined through her answers to our biggest questions and concerns. Through our continued planning and the pivots that we’ve made, my fiancé and I have kept the priorities that we divined together with Val (and her thorough summary of our conversation!) close at hand to guide our process. We still look back on our Clarity Session as a highlight of our wedding planning experience. Thanks, Val!!

I'm obsessed with Charlene! She was a dream to work with. She brought such professionalism to our hectic event. We were planning a wedding at a personal property, meaning we had to supply every single vendor and she handled everything amazingly. She wrangled the vendors prior to the day of and she helped me keep my cool during the stress of the morning. You can tell she's a pro at this! There were times I felt a little underwater in terms of managing an event I had no experience with, and her demeanor was so calming and she handled any last minute things.

Their communication was always clear and responsive, which made the planning process so much smoother. When it came to the quality of their work, they truly exceeded our expectations. Our wedding coordinators and florist from Avenue Designs were incredible - they transformed the venue into a stunning, elegant space that was more beautiful than I could have imagined. My daughter showed the team what she envisioned, and Benjamin and Chad went above and beyond to bring her dreams to life. Everything about her wedding day was perfect and truly magical, thanks to the hard work and expertise of the Avenue Designs team.

My name is Allison James and I got married July 22nd, 2022! It was the absolute best day of my life and it made me realize how much I enjoy planning and coordinating weddings! I am a 5th grade teacher in Connecticut during the week! I am the type of person who is always moving and enjoys doing things and being out of the house! When I am at home, I enjoy snuggling and playing with my cat Harry who is the best boy! If you ask my friends, they will tell you that I am a hopeless romantic! I just LOVE love! I want to help you have the best day of your life at your wedding- and no request is too wild! Just ask me, I had my cat in my wedding!

I had the pleasure of working with Allison James Weddings for my special day, and I was thrilled with her services. Allison's communication style was quick, easy, and professional - she responded to emails and calls promptly and kept me updated every step of the way. Her work was organized, efficient, and creative. She brought my vision for the wedding to life perfectly, turning down no idea and executing even my most ambitious tasks with ease. Allison's attention to detail ensured everything ran smoothly despite some weather challenges. When a huge downpour and wind burst threatened to disrupt things, she worked swiftly behind the scenes to make it all look perfect again - as the bride, I barely even noticed! I appreciated her calm, capable presence on such a hectic day. If you're looking for a wedding planner who can juggle all the moving parts of your big event with grace, creativity, and care, I highly recommend Allison James Weddings.

While I offer planning services for all types of events, weddings are my absolute favorite. I love working with people. I love making them laugh. I love love and I love watching each event unfold. This is literally my dream job and I am so grateful that I get to work in this amazing industry.

We found RS Event Co. through a friend and are so glad we did! The Month-Of Coordination package offered us just what we wanted as we were looking for someone to handle the day of details to allow our family to enjoy the big day. And while Raquel did handle the smaller details, she also did so much more. From day one, she was professional, supportive and detail oriented, quickly becoming someone we could rely on and ask questions to. She made herself available for not only calls with vendors, but in-person meetings, ensuring our questions were heard and our vision was being brought to life. On the day of the wedding, Raquel struck the perfect balance of being supportive and discreet and after the event, I kept telling friends and family that I felt like everything went perfectly! I know that’s a testament to all the hard work Raquel put in to ensure my husband and I had the best day. She anticipated our needs before we had to ask and went above and beyond in areas that we didn’t even know we’d need until the big day (an example being driving guests from our reception to the parking lot in the venue’s golf cart). These feelings don’t just apply to myself and my husband as my parents have also expressed their gratitude for everything she did. We were all able to be present the entire day because of Raquel and that was truly a gift! For anyone considering a wedding coordinator, please reach out to Raquel! She will immediately jump in to help wherever she can while also being your personal cheerleader.
