Kaitlin was fantastic!!

Kaitlin was absolutely fantastic to work with. We cannot say enough good things about her work. She was substantive, efficient, and effective. Particularly on the wedding day itself, she was in total control of everything and came to us with what we needed to know but nothing more. In the planning process, she was exceptional at explaining to us the pros and cons of different options based on how each would affect the parts of the wedding that we didn't have experience with. We can think of several logistical hurdles she saved us from with her advice, and several areas of taste where we asked for her advice and were very happy that we did. One funny story--she saved us last-minute by catching a mistake on the cocktail signs we'd designed (which were missing a "t") the day before the wedding, fixing them, and reprinting them so that no one was the wiser. We hadn't even noticed the mistake!! When we asked her to handle something, she did so promptly. We examined the prices of a number of similar vendors in Mystic and found her to be totally reasonable. We've had a number of friends who have griped to us about their (different) wedding planners/coordinators for one reason or another, but we've had nothing but positive things to say about Kaitlin. She has our absolute highest recommendation, and we are so thankful to have worked with her!!

Invaluable service for lead up to wedding day and day of

Kaitlin was amazing for our month-of planning and coordination! She was attentive, responsive, super knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. She was on top of things whenever we hit a snag with vendors and was truly invaluable leading up to our wedding and day of.

100% would hire them again

Jennifer and Kaitlin were incredible to work with. I felt so comfortable in their hands, as they clearly knew what they were doing. This allowed me to divert energy elsewhere and completely enjoy and be present at my wedding day.

Fantastic Vendor for Day-Of Services - Highly Recommend!!

We hired Blue Lane Events for Day-Of services, and it was one of the best decisions we made during the planning process. Initially, my husband was not sure that we needed a day-of coordinator, but after the fact he fully acknowledges the peace of mind that we received having Blue Lane Events on our side, and he is the biggest proponent for Blue Lane Events! We worked with Kaitlin throughout the months leading up to our wedding, and Jen was our coordinator for the day-of, so I can confidently say that both of these ladies are fantastic! Blue Lane Events was amazing in coordinating with all of our vendors, which was especially helpful as we were planning our RI wedding from Colorado. On the day of, I felt a great sense of relief knowing that Jen was there to handle all of the minor details behind the scenes. We would 100% recommend Blue Lane Events over and over!! Thank you so much, Jen and Kaitlin!!

Fantastic Experience

Jen and Kaitlin were amazing! We live in NYC and were married down the street from our family home on the beach in Old Lyme, CT. It was important to us that we had planners that had local knowledge and an ability to translate our vision of an elegant but laid back event into reality. Jen's ability to focus us on the things that would matter the most and to take over when we were overwhelmed was spot on. Our wedding was October 2018 and as we catch up with those who attended all have commented how much our wedding reflected the sensibilities about us, our friends and our family. All said it was the most fun they have ever had at a wedding. It was a beautiful day, everything we dreamed it could be. All due to Jen and Kaitlin's patience, expertise and hard work!

Above and beyond!

Kaitlin and Jen truly helped make our special day a flawless event - from the early planning stages to the late evening hours dancing. Although we hired Blue Lane as a month of package, I can say they went above and beyond, even before that month started to help us select vendors, generate ideas, and organize our thoughts. Starting a month out from the date, we had constant communication and were provided with a very thorough event timeline to structure the weekend. Attention to detail was impeccable, down to timing of taxi pick-ups, they had every part of the day organized.

Thank you Blue Lane for helping make our day perfect!

Amazing Experience! Highly recommend!

Blue Lane Events was absolutely wonderful to work with! My husband and I got married in September 2018 and absolutely loved working with Jen throughout the entire process. We live in New York and when we were searching for a wedding planner we knew that we wanted someone local (since we are only there a few times a year) who was familiar with the different vendors on the Island. Blue Lane Events was the perfect choice for us. We met with Jen on one of our summer trips up to Martha's Vineyard a little over a year before our wedding and knew right away we wanted to work with her. She was extremely nice, super organized, had a great aesthetic and great relationships with some vendors on the island that I would not have otherwise found. Before we hired Blue Lane Events I had a pretty good idea of the look and feel that I wanted for our wedding and Jen truly helped that vision come to life including some last minute ideas I had like a greenery wall for our escort cards that doubled as a photo backdrop. She also had great recommendations for vendors on the island that would help me achieve my vision while still keeping our budget in mind. She also helped us find an amazing getaway car! Jen was also extremely easy to communicate with and always responded very quickly via phone, text or email which was very comforting with everything going on throughout the planning process. From start to finish I really enjoyed working with Blue Lane events and can't recommend them more strongly...you can't go wrong. I joked with my husband at the end of the wedding that I wanted to get married every weekend...because Blue Lane events had everything so well organized and under control leading up to and on the day of the wedding I was fully able to enjoy myself on the day of without any stress or concern.

Excellent Experience!

My husband and I live in NYC and were married in my aunt and uncle's back yard in Martha's Vineyard, so we had a lot of long-distance coordinating to do. I don't know how we would have done it without Jen and Kaitlin, and one of their assistants, Stephanie! We hired them for "month of" coordinating, which was just what we needed and more. In the months leading up to the wedding, they advised us on many things that hadn't occurred to us and then recommended vendors to get the job done. They then coordinated with the vendors in the weeks prior and set up a timeline for the main event. The wedding was perfect. Jen and Kaitlin kept us as stress free as possible throughout the entire process, especially when there was a bad weather forecast for our outdoor wedding. They ensured we had a backup plan we were excited about, reassured us throughout the day, and then facilitated our switches from Plan A to Plan B to Plan A again without us having to lift a finger. Jen also conducted a rehearsal with our family/wedding party the afternoon before, which was extremely helpful. We are so grateful for Jen and Kaitlin and would highly recommend to anyone.

A+ Scorecard!

We are so grateful that we chose Blue Lane Events! Our July 2018 wedding provided some interesting twists that made for challenging coordination (a venue owner who was a family friend, a bakery that "forgot" flower instructions, a ceremony location that failed to return calls, an officiant taken ill the day before, a bride with a hectic travel schedule and a groom going back to school), but Jen and Kaitlin navigated every turn in the road with humor, grace and sound guidance. We put the entire venue theme and decor into their hands and they created a classic, elegant space that reflected all our desires.

Our wedding was absolutely perfect: the most wonderful wonderful weekend with the most amazing family and the most fun-loving friends. We would not have changed a single thing. Months later, guests are still telling us how the wedding was the best they've ever attended, and the joy, love and laughter in our photos are our proof. Thank you, Jen and Kaitlin, for helping us create and host such a fabulous weekend. We could not have done it without you!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
