Events on a Budget was INCREDIBLE

One of my sister’s friend recommended Events on a Budget for wedding planning services and I’m SO GLAD she did! Sam and I got engaged in January and shortly after I contacted Events on a Budget to learn more about their services and packages. We both knew we wanted to get married within 6 months. Based on what I had heard from other brides, I thought a 6 month timeframe would be hard for selecting a venue, contracting all the vendors, sending invitations, etc. After our first meeting with Events on a Budget they reassured us that 6-months would be 100% achievable and they were right! Sam and I decided to go with a “Wedding in a Box” package that included the primary vendors (DJ, Photographer, Flowers, Videographer, caterer, cake, and wedding coordination). Once we signed the contract we were assigned Daniella as our wedding planner. Daniella was AMAZING! We had a kickoff meeting where she reviewed the package with us and then provided us a list of vendor options for the photographer and videographer. We then met at her office and had a super fun meeting with the florist to start selecting the décor and floral details. This also included table settings, etc. Soon after we did our food and cake tasting. Daniella coordinated EVERYTHING for us and had a detailed agenda for the day with addresses and exactly what to expected at each meeting. She noted every detail and feedback we gave on the food and cake and shortly after followed up with a perfectly summarized email. A few weeks after that awesome experience, we meet in the office again for a sample table setting. This was great to really get an idea of what the décor would look like for each table. Next we met with the remaining vendors (DJ, Photographer and videographer) so they could get to know us ahead of our big day! Again, Danielle coordinated EVERYTHING which made it so easy for Sam and I since we both have pretty demanding jobs. The last big meeting before the wedding what the full day coordination meeting. During this call Daniella walked us thru a minute by minute itinerary she put together, for a very detailed orientated person like me, this was INCREDIBLE. She remembered every note from our previous meetings and I felt like really truly understood what we were looking for. Throughout the wedding planning process Daniella made things fun, easy and was extremely organized. One of my favorite attributes was her honesty. When I asked her for feedback or recommendations her response felt like a friend was giving it. The best and most incredible part of the whole experience for Sam and was the actual wedding day. We were SO IMPRESSED with Daniella’s leadership, attention to detail, and overall ownership of ensuring a successful execution of our wedding day. Daniella was EXTREMELY ATTENTIVE throughout the night. She got us a plate of hors d'oeuvres so we could enjoy while we were taking our portraits, she continuously checked we had our favorite drink on hand, she got us our meal while we were going around the tables to say hi to our guests and remembered every single special request we made to her during the planning process. Our experience working with Events on a Budget, but especially Daniella, was absolutely PERFECT and took away so much stress! Even our wedding party and several guests shared with us how incredible the coordination and planning was! I promise, you won’t go wrong with Events on A Budget!

The best planner for a Magical Wedding

We worked with Melissa Betancourt from Events on a Budget and Luxurious Events for over a year. We had no doubt after our first meeting with her that she was the wedding planner we wanted to work with. She definitely captured our vision and gave us brilliant ideas which brought the wedding to a different level. This Planner has an excellent team that was always willing to help, including Daniella who was also exceptional. The team has excellent relationships with so many vendors, and Melissa was able to negotiate the best prices and services and pass on their excellent pricing and discounts to us. Melissa kept us so well organized with monthly emails and check in calls so that it never felt stressful. She also accommodated our busy work schedules and met us after hours. More importantly, Melissa always made us feel as a priority and as if though we were her only client (which we know we weren't). As the wedding date approached and we were worried about the weather, she had everything lined up for a plan B, which fortunately was never needed, and we had beautiful weather, but the fact that she had everything ready as a backup made us feel more relaxed. The wedding turnout out to be absolutely magical. We received so many compliments from guests, vendors, and the venue. One thing is for sure, if it was not for the amazing talent, service and skills of this planner it would not have been possible.

Simply Captivating Simply Captivating Wedding Photographers

Events on a Budget is your one stop shop for everything. Weddings can be so chaotic I dont see how brides can go without a wedding planner. Wedding planning is stressful and complicated. We have known Events on a Budget since 2006 and have had the pleasure of being the photographer for 2 of their wedding planners on their own weddings as well as probably hundreds of weddings since. We highly recommend Events on a Budget and their entire team and ask that you just send them an email to see how efficient and affordable they can make your wedding.
