Utano Event & Wedding Planning 
Rating: 5.0 (17 reviews)
  • Offers 4 services
  • Starts at $250
  • Serves Utica, NY

I was born and raised in Central New York. I am a military wife, that married her high school sweetheart. We are your typical family with 2 kids, 2 dogs and 2 cats. We even have that dreamy white picket fence. I started working weddings and events in Syracuse as a server, and realized that event planning was my dream job. I have worked my way up the ladder and decided that it was time to branch out on my own. My years of experience in wedding and event planning have required me to have a sharp eye for detail, excellent problem-solving skills and work in fast paced environments to make planning fun and events less stressful!

I will preface this by saying that I am not very good at event planning/emails/phone calls and was somewhat dreading wedding planning. I hired Utano Events/Beth for my day of coordinator (and later added on serving staff) at the strong recommendation from my venue. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that my wedding would not have happened without Beth! She caught so many things that I had missed during the planning process. She walked me through rental order estimates, contacted and verified details with all vendors so I didn't have to, made my decor ideas into reality...the list goes on. She has relationships with tons of vendors in the area, and if she didn't work with them before they were sure to let me know how much they enjoyed having her coordinate the wedding. If you are planning a wedding, I would highly recommend hiring Utano Events, and if you are using a more "DIY" venue that doesn't offer many services on site I would VERY highly recommend hiring them!! Worth every penny!

Hi! I'm Courtney -- the founder and lead planner of Crown Coordination. You could say I'm your not-so-average pineapple obsessed, wine loving, adventure seeking chaos coordinator. When I say that I literally get married for a living and absolutely love it -- I mean it!

Awarded Best of Zola
We spent nearly a year working with Courtney on our wedding - and everything came out better than we could have ever imagined. Throughout the whole planning process, her professionalism, wealth of experience, organization, and attention to detail did not go unnoticed. She was incredibly attentive to all of our requests, and her experience and connections in the industry saved us so much time and effort. On the day of our wedding, her team executed our vision at the Ithaca Farmers Market well beyond our wildest imaginations. Every detail was executed to perfection, and they brought the Market to life. Our guests have not stopped raving about how amazing the space was, and we have Courtney and her team to thank! She expertly managed all of our vendors, knew the contracts backwards and forwards, and made it so we had nothing to do ourselves on our wedding day. We highly recommend Courtney and her team for your wedding!

It’s difficult to put into words how thankful we are to have hired Rachael for our September 2025 wedding. From the start Rachael took our vision and got to work connecting us with vendors and creating our mood board. Rachael truly has all of the best connections in the finger lakes area and there’s no way we would have found such fantastic vendors without her. There isn’t a single thing I would have changed about our wedding, literally every single detail was perfect. From martini ice luges to a raw bar, Rachael saw our vision and said “you got it” with no hesitation. It was almost like Rachael brought the most magical sunset to our wedding too. You’d be silly not to hire her. I wish we could do it all over again next weekend.

From tackling last-minute emergencies with poise and professionalism to seamlessly coordinating every aspect of the event, Dana's commitment to excellence was apparent in every interaction.

Wedding Planning Plus was an excellent choice for our wedding planning needs for our June 2025 wedding at the Equniox Resort in Manchester, VT. From the start, their communication style was direct, helpful, and calming, which was greatly appreciated as we planned our big day. The quality of their work and value they provided was outstanding - they were focused, supportive, and incredibly well-connected in the region, using their network of vendors to perfectly execute our wedding and beautifully and bringing our garden party tent reception vision to life. On the day of, Eliza ran the schedule effortlessly and her competence completely allowed my husband and I to be fully present. In particular, we appreciated the way that she approached us over the course of the wedding to check if we still wanted to do the next scheduled item, it gave us a sense of control over how we spent our time rather than feeling like we were manically running from task to task. So many of our friends and family have reported back that the wedding was the smoothest of the weddings they had attended this year, and its all thanks to WPP.

Her meticulous nature was evident when she obtained insurance documentation from each vendor, leaving no room for unforeseen issues. The detailed floor plan and the comprehensive task checklist she provided not only guided us in the lead-up to our wedding but also served as a testament to her thoroughness.

Her constant communication with us throughout the day reassured us that everything was under control, allowing us to truly soak in and enjoy every moment. Shaymah's adaptability in the face of unforeseen circumstances was exemplified when the ice cream truck mistakenly went to the wrong venue; she swiftly coordinated with them, ensuring they reached the correct location without a hitch. Additionally, Shaymah displayed tremendous thoughtfulness by ensuring all our gifts were safely secured and put away after the festivities, giving us one less thing to worry about. To say Shaymah went above and beyond is an understatement. We wholeheartedly recommend her services to any couple in search of a wedding coordinator who truly understands the intricacies and emotions behind a wedding.

I cannot say enough incredible things about Erin. Above and beyond does not begin to cover it! Look no further for any of your wedding planning needs. We hired Erin for our month of coordinator almost 2 years in advance. From the beginning, she was very responsive, informative, kind, and helpful. I am pretty organized, and she consistently thought of questions I didn't! I was very impressed with her demeanor with myself and the rest of our vendors. Our venue required a pre-approved coordinator, and Erin took the steps to contact them to make sure she would work out, and we are so glad she did! She did everything she said she would and then some. She reached out to all of our vendors, worked with us on our timeline (many times!), attended our rehearsal, and never got frustrated even when we had a lot going on. Erin felt more like a friend than a coordinator, and we are so happy we got to spend our special day with her. Our day went so smoothly from start to finish, and we know this is due to Erin's impeccable attention to detail. If you are looking to have an incredible day with a crisp timeline and no stress - Erin is your gal!

While planning events as a side hustle for over a decade, I have also been a nonprofit event coordinator, farmer, and music festival planner. My background gives me a unique perspective on each wedding I plan. Sustainability, Inclusivity and Couple Advocacy are extremely important to me. Some fun facts: Leo with Taurus Moon and Libra Rising, ENFP, a Peacemaker, and I love a good personality quiz. I'm a sucker for fashion, and like to joke that ! can smell a good consignment/vintage shop. I had a wedding Pinterest 8 years before I even met my husband, and I will do anything in my power to give you the wedding you want.

My wife and I couldnt be more happy with having Kris on our vendor team for our florals! She went above and beyond to understand and execute our vision, letting our venue speak for itself while complimenting it in every way -- we were looking for loose, natural installs and bouquets and she did a perfect job. Leading up to the wedding she was incredibly communicative and always open for a phone call and let us make some last-minute adjustments after we did our walkthrough. Day-of, she was such a calming force. All of our other vendors loved her and I think she flipped our ceremony florals to the reception space in record time. We love Kris and consider her a member of the family now!! Seriously couldnt recommend her enough.

Envitation is an eco-conscious wedding and event planning company serving the NY & Long Island area. From intimate dinners to full-scale celebrations, we specialize in curating thoughtful, beautiful events with purpose and intention. Our goal is to curate your story in a seamless, elevated & unforgettable way. We strive to not only create moments but rather memories that last a lifetime.

My husband and I found Amore from Envitation Event Planning a little over a month before our wedding, and truly, she was a godsend. After a previous day-of coordinator backed out, I made a post in the Long Island Budget Brides Asking Group looking for someone who could fit our budget. Amore’s comment immediately stood out, and after our first phone call, we just knew she was something special. She even traveled to us, which meant so much. From the moment we spoke, her professionalism, warmth, and genuine care were unmatched. As a very anxious bride, I cannot express how calming and reassuring she was. She listened, she understood, and she instantly made me feel like everything was going to be okay — and it absolutely was because of her. Amore went above and beyond in every single way. She executed all of my DIY projects flawlessly (even with a very short setup window), managed all of our vendors, kept everyone on timeline, handled vendor tips, coordinated cleanup, and still made sure my husband and I always had whatever we needed throughout the night. Our guests were even raving about her — that alone says everything. I can say with full confidence that without Amore, our day would not have been the magical, seamless, stress-free day it turned out to be. She cared for our wedding like it was her own, and that is something you cannot put a price on. If you’re on the fence, anxious, or wondering how everything will come together — especially if you have DIY setups or a tight schedule — my husband and I recommend Amore a thousand times over. Hiring her was one of the best wedding decisions we made. Thank you, Amore, for making our dream day truly perfect.

E & A Events is a modern, elegant event planning company specializing in thoughtfully curated weddings, elopements, and celebrations of all sizes. With a personalized approach and an eye for detail, we turn your vision into an unforgettable experience. Whether it’s an intimate gathering or a grand affair, we’re here to make every moment seamless, stylish, and uniquely yours.

Elizabeth at E&A Events was the PERFECT solution! I engaged her right away and used her Day of Coordination package which was honestly SO affordable and SO MUCH help to me and to the bride. She worked with us in preparing for the wedding, solved all of our concerns and unknowns as she is so familiar with weddings and how things “should go” and what pitfalls to be aware of.  She was very flexible and all about working with my daughter’s vision for the wedding day, including helping with updates to timelines etc. On the day of, even though the venue provided a “coordinator”, it was so necessary to have someone there who was all about me as the mother of the bride and all about the bride and her day.  Elizabeth was all over the venue throughout the ceremony and reception, making sure things were being handled and staying on track with our wishes;  if there was any issue, she was on it and this allowed me to relax and enjoy the day! Hands down - the best part of the entire support that Elizabeth provided was offered AFTER the event ended;  she stayed long after and made sure that all the centerpieces were broken down and all of the decor was stashed away in one place so we could easily go pick it up the following day.  And this was packing up centerpieces with 28 floating candles on two separate floors — I was having nightmares of having to empty all those vases, but Elizabeth made it so easy! She is friendly, organized and persistent — there is no reason whatsoever to not invest in her support for your wedding or any event — but especially a wedding … this one day can be so expensive - she ensures that nothing goes wrong and you can just enjoy your special day.  HIGHLY recommend her!

She was also able to execute our vision. Additionally, Vanessa is just a wonderfully nice and funny human to have as part of your event. Def recommend!

Having Macy as the day of coordinator for our wedding was the best decision we made - our wedding day was 100% stress free! We had no idea about what needed to be considered when having a wedding, but Macy had all the questions ready and helped us think through every detail. Macy is so kind, thoughtful, organized, communicative, and took away all of our stress leading up to the wedding day by being so organized and prepared! She coordinated with the different vendors to ensure a timeline was created and distributed for when each would arrive. I didn’t have to worry about a thing except for confirming details for her. She made sure the wedding party and our parents were at the right spots at the right time throughout the evening and helped keep guests contained during cocktail hour so we could step away with the photographer for photos. She even assisted with clean up and helped pack dessert for us to take and enjoy later! Macy is by far irreplaceable in our eyes, we cannot recommend her enough! She will do everything it takes to make sure you have the best day and she was instrumental for ours. Thank you so much, Macy!!
