Working with Arielle and her team was the best decision we made during the wedding planning process and I cannot recommend her enough. She is professional, detail-oriented, and kind. She made the process seamless, which let us focus on the “fun” parts of wedding planning.

My now-husband and I work in corporate America, and I mention that because we both spend time delivering complicated projects, creating timelines, managing budgets, etc. Despite our backgrounds, we could NOT have done this without Arielle. We weren’t 100% sure we wanted to work with a planner because we thought we could do it on our own, but now on the other side of the wedding I can tell you with certainty we could NOT have done this with without her. There are 1000s of details that go into planning a wedding in addition to actually pulling the day off off and Arielle and her team did this perfectly. Arielle helped us take nebulous ideas about what we wanted for the wedding look and feel (we said words like “pub with lots of wood” and “dinner party”) and she evolved it into a cohesive design that was truly amazing. We’ve received so many compliments from guests on how beautiful it was. Most importantly, it really embodied my husband and I and felt like “us”. Throughout the process she was on top of all the details and kept us to our schedule. She was super flexible with meeting with us (we typically could only meet after work hours or weekends) and she always accommodated our schedule. I also really appreciated how Arielle helped us work through budget decisions and figure out the right package with each vendor. In the planning process, there are so many tiered options and it can be super overwhelming to understand what to invest in vs. save on and Arielle gave us wonderful direction and feedback. She never made us feel like a choice was “less than” if we chose to save and helped us make the most of our budget.

In addition to the tactical and execution activities Arielle owned and delivered, her value was in a lot of the intangibles. My husband, our families, and I were able to be way less stressed knowing Arielle was on point for most of the details and we were actually able to enjoy being engaged and focus on the “fun” elements of planning (which for us was choosing florals, cocktails, etc.). This made the process more enjoyable with my husband, but also gave me wonderful moments with my mom while planning instead of focusing on the stress. I can’t thank Arielle and her team enough for that time with my family and helping ease what can be such a stressful time. The last “intangible” that Arielle brought to us with connecting us with so many wonderful local vendors. Throughout planning you end up speaking with your vendors a ton and on the day of we spent a lot of time with them (especially photographers, hair & makeup, etc.). Arielle connected us with some of the most wonderful vendors and people out there who made all the difference on our day. She was constantly complimented by our vendors for being the best in the business and we can’t agree more.

Hire Arielle and her team, it’ll be the best decision you make and your day will be beautiful!

I absolutely LOVED working with Arielle from beginning to end.

Arielle is very responsive and a consummate professional. She was so easy to reach via email or phone and was incredibly organized when it came to communicating with all of our vendors, keeping track of where we were in the planning process, and helping us track and manage our budget. She was honest and helpful (based on her many years in the industry) advising on aspects of the wedding, such as what areas were more valuable to spend money on versus not. This is one of the many incredible traits that she exhibits as a planner - Arielle will always listen to your opinion and help maximize for what's important to you, but is also not afraid to give direction. I thought her guidance was always very carefully thought-out and I found her input extremely valuable.

One manner in which Arielle absolutely shines is her eye for wedding design. I had a vision of what I wanted the wedding to look like, and she was able to put those ideas into words (and pictures via an incredible design lookbook). She is the perfect person to work with if you have a general idea of what you like, but maybe need the extra push into helping execute. The design details like each and every flower piece, the linens, the tablescape, the stationary, and even rentals like chairs are small pieces of the day that Arielle has put careful thought into, and each of the design pieces really melded together in a way that makes the impact of the whole much more significant than the sum of its parts.

During the day of the wedding, Arielle kept all the parts moving and was so critical to ensuring we stayed on schedule and all our other vendors were well-taken care of. I was able to fully relax knowing that any hiccups in the day would be taken care of with the same professionalism and attention to detail that she had exhibited through the entire process. Everything went SO smoothly and we had the most perfect day.

Finally, Arielle is just a kind and wonderful person with a fun and woderful, warm personality! Finding a conscientious and organized planner with this kind of design skill is truly one in a million. I could not recommend Arielle more highly.
