Single-handedly the most important detail

I hired Eileen just over 3 months out from the wedding day, at the time, much to my then-fiancés chagrin. He felt we didn’t need it, and it was a waste of money 7-months into planning. But I had done my homework, and Eileen’s pricing was fair, and she was absolutely polished. From our first call, it was an amazing fit; I felt the weight of the world lifted with Eileen’s reassurance. She went into action immediately, taking over all of the vendor communication and confirmations, keeping me accountable on my checklist items I had left, reminding me of dates I’d given her, provided drafted and a final perfected timeline, and was patient, flexible and direct [but kind] with all of us the whole process. She also attended a last minute in-person venue meeting with extremely short notice — she instantly showed my guy her value, and there was no question that this service was worth every penny and more. The way my stress level was impacted by having her on our team was invaluable.

Maria and Emily were my day-of girls, and though I was sad to not have Eileen available for my date (she told me during our first call that she was already booked that day), she remained available to me right up until the night before the wedding, and her two stand ins were equally fantastic. It torrentially downpoured the entire day, and we were quite sure that it would from about 3 days in advance (ah Sept. 2023, we’ll never forget your very rainy Saturdays). Again, Eileen sprung to action ensuring extra umbrellas were brought to our partially outdoor venue, that all vendors were prepared to shift gears to accommodate, and that contingency plan details were confirmed and in order. Emily and Maria kept the energy high and the timeline to a tee. I cannot recommend An Affair to Remember ENOUGH, and honestly can’t imagine having had the extremely successful, wet, stress-free and perfect wedding weekend that we had without Eileen and her team. I’m sure I’m forgetting details they handled but man, this was easily the best money we spent this year. Husband is totally a believer now lol.
With Love, Joey & Liz

Effortless Coordination

We've had the pleasure of collaborating with Eileen on multiple occasions, and we couldn't be more delighted. As wedding photographers, her kindness, acknowledgment, and adept handling of unexpected situations make every event seamless. Eileen's professionalism and dedication ensure that every experience with her is pleasant and stress-free. We highly recommend her services to any couple looking for a planner who goes above and beyond to make their day special.

Thank you Eileen,
Oscar + Loance

Thank you Eileen!

Eileen was so incredibly helpful for our wedding. We had about a 4 month timeline for planning our wedding and Eileen made the whole thing happen flawlessly on an very short timeline. She helped us find incredible vendors and helped with all of the coordination with them leading up to the event. On the day of the wedding I had zero stress the entire day because I knew Eileen had everything under control. She really went above and beyond in every way, and I don't think we could have pulled it off without her.
