Eileen brought our wedding vision to life!

My husband and I knew from the beginning that we wanted to hire a wedding planner to make the process smoother since we both worked full time, live in Virginia and were planning a wedding in New Jersey. Eileen was our first of 5 planner interviews and we loved how reassuring she was and her maternal nature. She felt like the most natural choice and I am so glad we hired her. She was very easy to communicate with and very responsive. She did a great job of explaining all that she is able to do with full planning and what we would be responsible for and breaking up tasks into manageable chunks so we didn't get overwhelmed. We appreciated that she was always very patient with us, even when we dragged our feet on getting certain things done. She helped me a lot with some family drama (inevitable to come up when planning a wedding) and supported the steps necessary to ensure we got the outcome we wanted. The week leading up to the wedding was relaxing since everything had been taken care of and all we needed to do was stick to the timeline which is exactly what we wanted, to just show up and enjoy the day. Everything came together so perfectly and beautifully, we truly could not have been happier. Our guests had a wonderful time and could not stop raving about it being the best wedding they'd been to - also one of my and my husband's goals. Eileen really was the backbone to all of that and we could not have done it without her. She knows all the right people for what you need and if she doesn't, she will find them for you. Please do yourselves a favor and hire Eileen to plan your wedding :)

Best decision for wedding planning was getting a planner from the beginning

We used Eileen (a affair to remember) for full wedding planning. It was the best decision we made in the planning process and removed a lot of - would be stress. Her price is very reasonable for the amount of value she will bring to your wedding experience. In the planning process, her recommendations were amazing and met our desires and budget. She recommended 3 amazing venues that met our description to pick between (instead of trying to look through every venue on the internet individually), hair, makeup, photograph, and more. Leading up to the event, she organized a play by play of the day and coordinated with vendors so we didn’t have to worry. Then on the da-of when there were surprises (there always will be), she kept me blissfully unaware until I needed to be aware. She kept things moving and made our dream come to life.

A reliable, helpful and thoughtful wedding planner!

Eileen went above and beyond for my July 2024 wedding. She is thoughtful, reliable and seriously will be there for you on your wedding day. Weddings are complicated but Eileen worked with our vendors to change our timeline and to make adjustments - she seriously took all of the stress off of me and my husband which is not an easy task during the biggest day of your life! Eileen also managed multiple days of events for us (we had a religious service and rehearsal dinner on Friday, followed by a full day of wedding events on Saturday). She organized items, made sure everything was accounted for and even made a special trip back to pick items up for us (which we didn't originally expect would happen). Eileen was pleasant and professional the entire weekend - multiple guests acknowledged what a great job that she did and how attentive she was. As a bride you will know that YOU are Eileen's priority - above everything else!! I would definitely recommend her for any brides in the NY/NJ/PA area. This was honestly the best money I spent towards my wedding.
