About this vendor

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

I bring a realistic take on the wedding planning process. It's common for newly engaged couples to feel that they don't need a planner; websites can give you a checklists and Instagram gives you inspiration. Nearly all clients I work with tell me they wish they found me sooner. The critical choices that you make early in the process are what make or break your budget. While I bring 16 years of experience executing seamless weddings and drafting stellar day-of timelines, the real benefit is having me in your corner before you make significant decisions. There is no other vendor whose sole concern is protecting your money, time, and sanity. I sell nothing but peace of mind.

You can start small with an hourly consult, try me on for size and answer some big questions. Clients can book me on a month-to-month retainer, or just for day-of coordination. Wherever you need support, I am there. It is no secret that there are long lulls in the in the planning process, so build a package with me that works for your budget. I keep you on track, budget-conscious and organized. If you book for day-of coordination and want to add month of support later on, you can! My goal is to make you feel like we're old friends, I'm helping you plan the biggest celebration you'll ever host. No matter where you are in the process, I can jump in. After we meet, you will instantly feel clear headed and excited about your big day.

My past career producing live theater in New York City translated perfectly into wedding planning. Creating a wedding is strikingly similar to producing theater. 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 ability to handle mother in laws. While working at Lincoln Center, I enrolled in a training course with The American Academy of Wedding Professionals to become a certified wedding planner in 2011, so I have practical experience and textbook knowledge, the best of both worlds!

The best partner you could ever hire for your wedding!

Do not miss the opportunity to hire Brina. I was 10mo out from my wedding back in January and I was struggling to find/vet/manage vendors with a busy work/travel schedule when I stumbled upon her profile here. After vetting so many planners, the options and cost were overwhelming. Brina's services came with the best options (in my opinion): pay per month, day-of coordination services, additional support for all setup/breakdown day of, personalized vendor recommendations, emotional support etc. Before even agreeing to work with me we had an interview to get to know each other and get a feel for what my husband and I envisioned. She was transparent about her availability and it was so easy to get setup with her and immediately make progress. We met with her nearly every month for two hour calls where we reviewed our checklist, she gave me updates on vendors she spoke with on my behalf, I provided updates for my items, and so on. In between our calls Brina was extremely responsive over text (and even calls when we had emergencies). She not only took the time to ensure everything was situated with vendors, she even ensured she met with my venue coordinator and specked my venue as she had not been there previously. The week of my wedding Brina took the reigns so I could focus on myself, she had a call with each of my vendors ensuring they had all their paperwork and arrival/departure times, ensured my venue coordinator was looped in to all details, called/texted me regularly to keep me up to date (even checking on me to ensure I was mentally/physically/emotionally well). On my wedding day, Brina took care of EVERYTHING. I will never be able to thank her enough for giving me the gift of being present on my wedding day. My husband and I truly enjoyed our day due to the immense dedication/precision/care that she provided. Brina is exceptional at what she does, she is the "peace of mind" that made my day the best it could have been. Hire her!

I loved Brina and so did my guests

I hired Brina for day of coordination for our big day. We had the event at home, 45 people, just immediate family. Brina and I spoke the month before the wedding to make sure I was organized and had a clear list of tasks that I had to complete before the day. She had a warm, positive vibe, I felt comfortable with her immediately. It was also very clear from our first convo that she is well organized and has done this before. She reminded me of a bunch of things I had not thought of. It was a very helpful meeting for me and I felt a lot less stressed after it, even though I had more on my to-do list. I also discussed with her that we have 5 kids (teenagers) from previous marriages that we somehow wanted to include but could not figure out how. She suggested doing a sand ceremony (which I had not heard of before) and sent me links. I modified it a bit to include 2 other members of our families as well (so we had 9 layers of sand in the end). It turned out to be the focus of the whole ceremony and was super well received by our guests and the kids! Thank you Brina! The week before the wedding we met again to firm up details and she told me I should think of her as my personal assistant on the wedding day. The day of Brina arrived early and after a quick tour of the house and where everything would take place she completely took over the flow of the event, the food service, welcoming guests, wiping up spills, coordinating with the photographer, shepherding us to the alter for the ceremony, basically anything that needed to be done to keep the event running smoothly and make it successful. She also made sure my champagne glass was filled 😆 leaving me to be able to focus on my guests and myself. She was so efficient I practically felt like a guest! After the event when my husband and I went to clean up we had the lovely surprise of realizing Brina had already done most of it!! She was worth every penny. A few of my guests came up to me at the end of the event and unsolicited told me they thought she was fantastic. ❤️ I highly recommend using Brina as your wedding coordinator no matter the size of your wedding!

Two Happy Brides

Brina helped bring our vision of a beautiful backyard wedding to life! From our first phone conversation to the wedding day, she listened, supported and helped manifest our vision. Brina is organized, thorough and an amazing communicator. She helped us problem solve and provided valuable insight from her years of experience. Brina was fantastic at collaborating with our vendors, particularly the week of the wedding. She exudes empathy and brings some extra TLC to the planning process. We are so grateful for Brina's help and highly recommend her services as a wedding planner!

Brina was Amazing

We hired brina to be our day of coordinator for our DIY wedding. She did an amazing job, and took the stress off our backs. She was very knowledgeable and worked well with our other vendors. Everything went smoothly! I strongly recommend her.

An investment in your peace of mind!

From one severe type A bride to you: stop reading reviews, stop searching for a wedding coordinator, and hire Brina.

She is a consummate professional. Brina has years of experience and uses it to anticipate things that never even crossed your mind. And the problems you’re already worried about? She handles them, and only involves you if you want to be involved. Otherwise, they are simply…resolved.

If you are wondering if you need a day of coordinator, the answer is yes. Having Brina on your team means you will be able to enjoy your day as a guest of honor, not feeling like you need to be working at your own (very expensive!) party. My go to phrase on the wedding day during the typically hectic getting ready period? “Ask Brina!” Give your worries to Brina and trust that she will handle them.

She is a one woman show, a one stop shop for everything, and she will ensure all of your vendors are on the same page before the big day. She wrangles late parties, helps arrange faux florals, climbs ladders, fixes hair extensions, creates/manages timelines, answers all questions, and thoroughly manages any anxieties/issues as they arise (which, during wedding planning, is often). She is worth every single penny and then some.

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.

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!

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!

Brina is amazing!

Brina was an absolute lifesaver. She served as our day-of coordinator and also provided some (really incredible!) planning services in the months leading up to the wedding. She met with us throughout the process and walked us through everything that needed to be done, when it needed to be done by, offered suggestions, etc. Then, as we got closer, she coordinated with vendors, helped us create our timeline and handled all of the last-minute things that come up on the day of the wedding.

Brina was an absolute joy to work with. She has a tremendous amount of knowledge and experience and helped us to calm us down--she became a part-time therapist by the end of it! She is also very prompt and responsive, super well organized, etc.

Brina helped make our wedding day incredibly special and we are thrilled to highly recommend her!

Hire Brina if you want to have a peace of mind on your wedding day

I had a lot of family members flying in from other countries, and I decided to hire Brina because from the first day I talked to her, Brina gave me confidence that I would be in good hands. And I was right! Despite all the planning, there were some unexpected hiccups here and there on my wedding day, but Brina handled them very well, and I was able to not worry about anything and enjoy my wedding day. Brina is highly passionate and experienced, and I'd recommend her to any of my friends. Thank you so much Brina!!!
