A+ Day of coordination was a must and wow did Anjie step up and handle it like the professional she is.

My daughters wedding was last Saturday and we hired Anjie as a day of coordinator. She was there more than just the day of abs went above and beyond that day to make my daughters wedding day the “best day ever”! Anjie put in a 15 hour day and was there for any and all things! She’s not only a great wedding planner but just an awesome person all around! I truly enjoyed working with her and she meshed so well with our family! Can’t recommend her enough and trust that you will enjoy working with her as much as we did!

Don't think twice-hire Anjie now! She is amazing. Truly couldn't have imagined the day without her and her help. Not only is she fantastic at her job, she is a wonderful person! She went above and beyond what her job entailed. You need Anjie!!

Rebecca was great to work with

Blue Canary, specifically Rebecca O'Donnell, were great to work with and extremely helpful while we navigated rescheduling our wedding due to COVID. Rebecca always had helpful advice and recommendations when we were stuck and had no idea what we were doing. She was on top of all the little details that we hadn't even thought of (who knew you needed a cake cutting song). Day of, she made sure everything ran smoothly and on time. There is no way things would have gone as well as they did without her assistance. We would recommend her to all of our family and friends.

Blue Canary/Anjie is the BEST!

If your budget allows for a coordinator, you will NOT regret going with Blue Canary and if you can get Anjie, even better. She truly is the VIP! We hired her as a month-of coordinator, but then the pandemic hit and we postponed twice. She helped us with so many things over the 2-year planning process, in addition to coordinating with our vendors the month before. When our wedding day finally arrived, Anjie ran our rehearsal, then took care of all of the little details on our wedding day - including setting up and taking down all of the decor, bringing us drinks, having us stay on track with timing and being on top of every little thing. She is truly amazing! AND I didn't see her get flustered once, I mean wow. She took care of everything, which allowed us to really sit back and enjoy. We couldn't be more thankful for her and her services!!!

Great experience with Rebecca O'Donnell

Our wedding was a fusion of two cultures - South Indian and American. Rebecca held it all together across our many vendors, kept the whole event moving in a timely manner and held true to our requests, even if other vendors forget. Would completely recommend her over & over again!

Wow! We Couldn't Be More Impressed!

My daughter's wedding was at Mt. Harmon Plantation, a beautiful historic mansion on the Sassafras River in Cecil County. It was a big property and the event was spread out over 3 locations. The wedding was on the lawn in front of the house, the cocktail hour was in the Boxwood Garden behind the house and the reception was in a tent up on a hill by the carriage house. These 3 locations were far enough apart, that managing all the details and ensuring that everything ran smoothly was difficult at best. Our wedding planner was the owner of the company, Anjie Henry and she was outstanding! In addition to the size of the property, there were other unforeseen circumstances that made Anjie's job even more difficult. Anjie was professional, efficient, competent, and thorough, all while maintaining a smile on her face! She saw to every detail and anticipated some issues that we would never have thought of . Everything about the day was perfect and much of that was due to Anjie!
Not only was our day everything we could have hoped for, but the planning process the month leading up to the wedding was so much easier because Anjie was involved. Our wedding was over 200 people and we had to rent almost everything we needed for the event. Anjie helped us coordinate all of the details, and she was available to chat or help with concerns anytime something came up.
Overall, our experience was very positive and we truly can't say enough about Anjie and Blue Canary Events. Our daughter's wedding was a huge success and we could never have pulled it off without Anjie and her expertise!

Worry free wedding day!

Anjie at Blue Canary Events was amazing to work with. She was my month of coordinator and made sure every detail was settled. She called each vendor and made sure each vendor knew exactly what to do so I didn’t have to spend all month on the phone. She worked seamlessly with my photographer and band to make sure everyone was working together. She made necessary adjustments to make the day perfect! I recommend this company 1000%

Couldn't have done it without Anjie!

In an attempt to save money, I had planned to attempt everything myself. At the request of the groom (who wasn't much interested in planning) I gave in, and we opted to hire a wedding planner for the 'month of' services. I spoke with a number of planners, and Anjie seemed friendly, approachable, and unfazed by our nontraditional idea, and even lack of a clear picture of what we wanted. Even prior to the month of, she would reach out to see if we had any questions, needed recommendations, advice, etc. She was able to help us avoid a few disasters (we didn't even THINK that getting a bus might be difficult, and had planned on doing that last, until Anjie pointed out it was prom, graduation, and Preakness weekend!!) Furthermore, I ended up with pneumonia about a month before our wedding. Anjie put together a timeline for us, took care of details, and asked us to look it over (which I didn't, I just told her it looked great!!!) Needless to say, it was. When some things then came up on the day of, Anjie went with it, kept everyone informed, and everything went smoothly! We couldn't have done it without her, and would recommend her without reservation to anyone looking for a month of planner... and even to those who aren't! :)

Fun, VERY HELPFUL and focused/supportive

Blue Canary was amazing. Rebecca was responsive, hard-working, and SO HELPFUL. I was against a wedding planner at the start of the process, but it's hard to overstate what an amazing job she did. For example, we were overwhelmed with finding a venue (esp. at our price range), and she had a list of 10 places that were roughly in our price (some over, some under). We looked at them, figured out what we liked/didn't, and she came back with another list based on our feedback. I think we looked at around 25 places in the area overall, which was so helpful. She was also very helpful about keeping us moving and focused on the things that MUST get done.
She was also our day-of coordinator, and there were several issues that we only heard about after she had dealt with them (smoothly, quickly, and without an hassle). She was amazing!
She also seems to know everyone in the wedding business, which was great for working with vendors. Lots of long-time friends there!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
