What is the story behind A Guilded Wedding?
A Guilded Wedding is for the bride who doesn't think they need a planner. As a fellow A-type, I see you and that is why you need me.
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!

Review summary
Reviewers rave about Brina as an exceptional wedding planner who is highly organized, responsive, and anticipates and solves problems to remove stress. She coordinates vendors, manages timelines, and handles setup and breakdown so couples can be present and enjoy their day. Clients call her invaluable, empathetic, and reasonably priced.
The best partner you could ever hire for your wedding!
Brina is a No Brainer!
Throughout the entire process, she was prompt, reliable, and always just a phone call or text away. Our wedding day went off without a hitch, even with some last-minute adjustments due to the weather, and having Brina there made it so much easier to roll with the changes and actually enjoy the day.
She also happens to be hilarious, which brought some much-needed levity to moments that otherwise could have felt stressful. She truly helped make our wedding so memorable, and any bride would be incredibly lucky to have her in their corner!
Brina was a blessing and a life saver!
She's a natural problem solver and so good on the spot. Whatever came up, she handled it — including our archway, which I had been fighting with for weeks. She built it herself. That's just who she is.
I came into the wedding carrying so much stress, and she took all of it off my shoulders. She thought of everything, big and small, and kept things running so smoothly that I never had to worry. She knew what we needed before we knew ourselves.
Because of Brina, we got to be fully present at our own wedding instead of managing it. Her prices are more than reasonable for everything she does, and she went above and beyond at every turn.
If you're looking for a coordinator, look no further.
Best Decision Ever!
I couldn’t have done this wedding without brina.
Perfectly Flexible
I loved Brina and so did my guests
Two Happy Brides
An investment in your peace of mind!
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.
