About

On WeddingWire since 2013

Welcome to A Guilded Wedding, owned and operated by Brina Guild Baron, certified wedding planner.

I bring a realistic take on the wedding execution process. It's common for prospective clients to feel that they do not need a planner, the internet can give you a checklist and Instagram gives you eye-catching inspiration. Nearly all of the clients I work with tell me they wish they found me sooner. The critical choices you make early on in the process are what make or break your budget. While I bring almost 15 years of experience executing seamless wedding days and drafting stellar day of timelines; the real benefit is having me in your corner before you make major decisions. There is no other vendor whose sole concern is protecting your money, your time and your sanity.

I offer hourly consults for newly engaged couples so that you can try a planner on for size. Clients can book me on a month to month retainer, with or without day of coordination. Wherever you need support, I am there. It is no secret that for months at a time, there is a lull in the planning process. You build your package with me. This keeps you on track, yet budget conscious. If you book for Day of Coordination and want to add a planning meeting later, you can! My goal is to make you feel like your bestie is helping you plan the biggest celebration you'll ever host, no matter where you are in the process. After we meet, you will feel instantly calmer, more organized and excited about your big day.

My past career in producing live theater in New York City translated perfectly into wedding planning. Creating a wedding is strikingly similar to producing a musical. Each has stars, a set, costumes, music, props and big personalities. I credit my theater background for giving me a cutting edge in the event planning space. Clients praise my creativity, knowledge and professionalism. It was while working at Lincoln Center that I enrolled in a training course with The American Academy of Wedding Professionals to become a certified wedding planner.

You won't regret having Brina on your side!

I can't say enough nice things about Bri. If you're on the fence about hiring her as your planner, this is your sign to do it! I'm a type A person, so I was hesitant to hire a planner because I thought I wouldn't need one. But that is NOT the case. The last thing you want to do on your wedding day is be in charge of things, and I can't tell you how much of a relief it was to have someone handling all the little things so that my husband and I could just enjoy our day. While this is our first time getting married, it is definitely not Brina's first time planning a wedding. Her experience alone is so beneficial to have. Any questions we had, any little thing that would've kept me up all night, Brina had it covered. Every single time we talked to her, I walked away from the conversation feeling relieved, but also supported. She constantly went above and beyond for us, doing things I wouldn't even have known to ask her to do. We rented our flowers, and the next day I realized I forgot to ask the groomsmen to give me their boutonnieres at the end of the night so that I could ship them back the next day. I was bummed because this meant I would have to pay a penalty for not returning them. Turns out that without being asked, Bri went around and collected all the boutonnieres at the end of the night and packaged them up for us. She is SO kind, and SO supportive. You're dealing with a lot of people that day that have their own agenda, but to have someone whose sole purpose is to support you in whatever you need is priceless. I can't recommend her enough. You won't regret having her on your team.

Five stars!

I hired Brina for my daughter’s wedding and she did a great job! My usually anxious daughter was calm and collected on her wedding day and knew everything was handled as it should be, thanks in great part to Brina. I’m sure my daughter will be writing a more detailed review, but I can just say that Brina had it all under control and my girl was able to relax and really enjoy what often is a very stressful day. Thank you, Brina!

Couldn't have done it without her!

We were so lucky to have found Brina as our wedding planner. She was wonderful to work with, from our first conversation through to our wedding day. She was always calm, highly organized and easy to talk to. She was exactly what we needed from our wedding planner. The checklists she outlined during our meetings helped us clearly identify what we should be tracking on at different stages of the process. She took this big overwhelming thing and made it seem totally doable. She encouraged us every step of the way and celebrated our achievements as we crossed major items off the list. She made us feel confident that we could get it all done, that the wedding would be beautiful and that our often non-traditional choices were okay because they were true to us. It always felt like the three of us were in it together. We would not have made it to the day without Brina's guidance, support and dedication to giving us our perfect wedding. And it was indeed perfect - everything was incredibly smooth. Brina looked after us & our families to make sure that everyone was cared for, and that we all had the best day of our lives. She is excellent at event planning, but her humanity, empathy and kindness combined with those hard skills is what makes her so special. She will forever be held close to our hearts as the most essential part of our wedding day. We love you Brina! P.S. - She also gives amazing referrals. Everyone else that we hired came from her list!
