Chelsea, Sarah and the Brilliant event team were absolutely amazing and incredibly experienced and knowledgeable. The planning process remained hassle and stress-free. Our wedding day was absolutely stunning and exactly how we pictured it. We are so grateful for all the hard work with design and planning that was done to make our special day come to life. Hiring Brilliant Event Planning was the best decision we made and would recommend everyone do so as well!! My husband and I were so relaxed during our wedding day and were able to enjoy it with family and friends.

We worked with Chelsea and her team from start to finish on our destination wedding in Mexico and would recommend them to anyone looking for a planner! Chelsea was very communicative and responsive throughout the planning process, and her enthusiasm and genuine excitement for weddings really come through. Venue and vendor selection were straightforward and easy, and Chelsea's experience in the industry is clear. Execution during our long weekend was flawless. I was relaxed, at ease, and enjoying time with friends and family because I knew Chelsea and her team were on top of all the events and paying attention to the details. Thanks again to Chelsea and the Brilliant Event team for helping us pull off the wedding of our dreams, and making it a fun, memorable experience!

I don’t even know how to find the words to express my gratitude, admiration and love for all things Brilliant Event Planning. Before I ramble about how amazing Sarah and the team were, I will get to the point in case you don’t have time to read this whole review – hiring Brilliant Event Planning is THE BEST decision you will make about your wedding – other than saying “Yes!” of course! From day one, working with Sarah was seamless, organized, and incredibly enjoyable. She is not only a fountain of information and ideas herself, but she has an incredible talent for listening to your vision and then making it all come true better than you could have even imagined. She handles everything impeccably - from the nitty gritty of contracts to the creative landscape of serving ware. And she handles everything with a radiant personality that makes her a joy to work with through it all. Everyone says to enjoy the process and with Brilliant Event Planning it’s impossible not to! Admittedly, I wasn’t the easiest bride – I had crazy ideas for how to make everything personalized! – and Sarah was up for every challenge I put in front of her. I’m so immensely grateful for how hard she worked to not only execute on our ideas, but to also ensure we enjoyed the planning process. And then, when it came to wedding weekend itself, somehow Sarah continued to wow and impress us. It’s hard to even understand how she possibly accomplished all that she did in those 48 hours. Somehow the wedding of my dreams materialized around me and the greatest gift I was given through it all was not having to worry for a single second about any of it! Words don’t exist to convey how magical this was. The wedding goes by so quickly and I was so wonderfully overwhelmed by love and joy the entire time that not having to spend any time or energy checking to make sure the logistics of the event were running smoothly was incredible. Perhaps something went terribly wrong in the background of our event – I wouldn’t know! –Sarah and her team made sure that my husband, all of our guests and I spent the entire time celebrating and having fun. The event was everything I had ever imagined and more! I’m forever grateful for Sarah for being the greatest wedding planning partner I could have ever imagined and would say “Yes!” to her over and over again. I keep joking that I might have to get remarried because I’m so sad to not be working with her still, but an anniversary bash might just have to suffice! If you have the opportunity, give yourself a Brilliant wedding and you will be smiling from it for the rest of your life.

The best decision I made (aside from choosing my husband) was hiring Chelsea as a month-of coordinator for my wedding. She could not have possibly been more helpful. In the month leading up to the wedding, she stayed on top of coordinating with all of our vendors, she was incredibly detail oriented and prompt in all responses to my questions (of which there were many). On the day of the wedding, Chelsea came with two members of her staff. Her calm presence and can do it attitude allowed me, my mom and my mother in law to fully enjoy myself wedding day as she so clearly was competent and in control of every single detail. I am so grateful to Chelsea as she was truly the MVP of our wedding. There's no way it would have been the special, truly relaxing and memorable experience that it was without her attentiveness and professionalism.

Chelsea single-handedly ensured that my wedding got off without a hitch and remained hassle and stress-free throughout. Her team was absolutely fabulous, so kind, detailed-oriented, and they executed everything at the highest level. Admittedly, I hired Brilliant Event Planning at the 11th hour leading up to my wedding, right at the two month point when everything started to become overwhelming and all-consuming. Chelsea jumped right into action, handling most everything from that point forward. Hiring Brilliant Event Planning, and more specifically Chelsea and her team, was one of the best choices I made and I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Chelsea and her team were incredible to work with! They made the couple of months leading up to the wedding so easy to get through and made us feel like we had everything under control. On the day of they were so helpful moving the day along and ensuring no one had to worry about anything other than having the best time. They were so great!

My husband and I had the pleasure of hosting the rehearsal dinner and welcome party for our sons wedding this past weekend. We are from the Washington D.C. area and after making a few trips to New York City to look at restaurants and rooftop venues we knew we were in over our heads. I contacted Chelsea at Brilliant Event Planning and after a brief discussion decided that she understood what we wanted. She put together a short list of venues for us to visit. We came to New York and selected two of the venues she recommended. After that, Chelsea handled everything from sending out our invitations to the two events to ordering custom napkins, menus, flowers, welcome signs, and seating charts and video equipment. She handled my budget with understanding and encouragement. Both the rehearsal dinner and the welcome party were huge successes! Our guests were delighted with both venues and the set up at both places. She really understood what we wanted and delivered. We were so proud of our events. Chelsea and her team were present at both events from start to finish and handled the set up so all we had to do was show up and enjoy ourselves They were attentive, professional and kind to us as well as our guests. I cannot recommend them highly enough!!!

I wish i could choose more than 5 stars. If you have ANY doubt about what Brilliant Event Planners can bring to your wedding, let me tell you that beyond a shadow of a doubt, my family could FULLY enjoy my daughter's wedding because of Sarah, Chelsea and their team. They are the loveliest of people, took care of EVERY behind-the-scene detail, and made it appear that it was the smoothest and most relaxed day in wedding history. It certainly was for us. Boston is very lucky to have them and if/when we have another family wedding, I'll be standing at their front door.

I could not have gotten through the last month of wedding planning without Chelsea and her team at Brilliant Event Planning! I opted for the month-of-coordination as I already had the majority of my vendors in place and I needed a team to help me with the last steps and day-of-coordination. Chelsea and her team went above and beyond what I could have ever expected from a wedding coordinator! Everyone kept noting how calm I seemed on my wedding day, and thanks to Chelsea I truly was. I knew I had nothing to worry about with her team! When I first met with Chelsea about 6 weeks prior to my wedding there were still some vendor details I needed help with (gifts/late-nigh snack for guests, wedding programs, etc.) and Chelsea helped me with all of the last-minute vendor bookings and contracts! Chelsea and her team put together a perfect day-of schedule and was in touch with every vendor several times before the day of the wedding so that everyone knew exactly where and when they had to be somewhere. Chelsea and her team were all so kind, calm, and organized, it truly left me with nothing to do the day of my wedding but show-up and get married!!! I can not recommend Brilliant Event Planning enough!!!!!

Chelsea, Sarah and the entire Brilliant Events team had to be one of the best decisions we made during wedding planning and I'm so happy we had them on board for the month of coordination! I had a relatively small wedding in the Hamptons and assumed early on that I could figure out most of the details myself. I quickly realized that nothing compares to having experts like them who know how to handle any last minute issue and have wealth of experience working with vendors/venues across NYC. Chelsea had great recommendations for vendors I neglected to look into earlier on in the process and was a huge help in making sure critical details, such as the rain plan, were worked out.

Where the team really excels is making sure you do not deal with any stress on the day of the wedding and focus on having fun. I was so impressed with how professional, patient, kind and calming the entire team was. They made sure the bridal parties all were on schedule, vendor setups were done on time, food was set aside for my husband/I during cocktail hour, swapped out my heels when they saw I was in pain and even ran back to the house when we forgot our marriage license. These are just some of the little details the team took care of so we didn't have to worry about anything. They truly are your eyes and ears and it was such a relief knowing they got it handled. They truly love their jobs and their passion for what they do shines.

Please do yourself a favor and hire Brilliant Events! I'm recommending them to all my friends for their weddings and events.
