About

Planning an event can be very time consuming and also very stressful. Knowing how to put together a perfect event requires some knowledge of the best way to go about creating that "perfect event". Because it's the job of an event planner to make the time to plan and create an event to be remembered, hiring an event planner is usually the best stress-free choice.

Hire her! She's amazing!

How do I even begin to write this review! Hermela literally saved my husband and I when it came to planning this wedding. We had no idea what we were doing!! When we started planning, we were looking at a lot of venues that were charging outrageous prices, and at the same time not giving us the wedding that we had envisioned and wanted to create. They left no room for creativity. After a few months of looking for a venue, we found one we loved. However, we had to find ALL of the vendors - as the venue was just providing the space. I knew we would have to hire a wedding planner. One night, I was on Instagram and stumbled upon an amazing wedding. It was beautiful, had style and so much energy. There, I found Hermela’s contact as she was the planner and immediately contacted her. She responded right away and explained her services and what she offered. We set up a face to face meeting within the next couple of weeks and I was sold! We started planning in January 2019 for a wedding that was on October 4th, 2019. Right away, Hermela provided wedding planning worksheets that focused on the budget, guest list, tasks, etc. Everything was so organized. She was also so understanding that Sean and I live in New York, so when we did come back to Boston my day would be filled with vendor meetings to make use of my time. She is always so efficient and makes great use of your time. In one day, we had a caterer and cake tasting, mock reception set up, and make up trial all in one day! Her endless list of contacts made it so easy to select the best vendors. Everything was booked ahead of time and organized.

During the planning process we had constant check ins as we were meeting deadlines for tasks. She was always available and naturally became a friend during the planning. Leading up to the wedding things got busy and payments were due. She made sure I was on a schedule and not waiting until the end to make payments and get overwhelmed. This was so helpful to us. She lead the rehearsal day and made sure everyone knew what they were doing. Then finally, on the wedding day she was up and making sure hair and makeup were in my hotel room at 6:30am. Making sure everyone followed the schedule provided in the Wedding Packet she gave the bridal party. While getting ready, she was facilitating everything at the venue. Then still made it to the hotel to help us finish up, take photos and get to the first look photo location. She was with the guys, us, and the venue. I’ll never forget when I walked into the venue the feeling I had when I saw the place. It was beautiful and everything that I had envisioned. Hermela made everything happen that we discussed. My wedding was perfect in everyway and people are constantly complimenting the night. Hermela made this happen for us. She is extremely talented and down to earth. She is extremely easy to work with and very reliable. Thank you so much for allowing Sean and myself to be ourselves during this whole wedding process and having a wedding that showed our personalities. We really cannot thank you enough!
