Gabby is a SAINT! I had her as my month of coordinator, but let me tell you she was so so much more than that. For any random question I had, request for help in finding a vendor, or ensuring I was all set with things outside the 30 day window she was there. She never once complained, was willing to jump on a call that day if needed and was so responsive via email and text (even when she was on vacation technically). I threw ALOT at Gabby and her team and they made it happen. The night was perfect for me, even when I know after there were things they had to make decisions on and made it go off without a hitch. Can not recommend working with this team enough.

If we could have Jackie manage every big event in our lives, we would -- hiring her one month before our wedding was the best decision. In all of our interactions she was knowledgeable, proactive and thorough, usually thinking of and tackling things "we would have never even thought of."

Importantly, she's also a pleasure to be around. Having her on board during those last few weeks really helped us tie up the million last minute details, and gave us the confidence that nothing would be forgotten so we could relax and have fun. I interviewed/met several planners and went with my gut after Jackie was more friendly and on-the-ball from our first conversation, and am so glad -- I can't recommend her more highly. Thank you, Jackie!

Look no further than Busy Bride Planning if you are looking for an attentive, professional wedding planner. Jackie was amazing from start to finish! We hired Busy Bride as our Day Of coordinator. She came on 6 weeks before our wedding date, ensuring our contracts and small details were ironed out. She created the day of timeline, which enabled our day to go smoothly. On the day of our wedding, Jackie and her assistant Rachel were lifesavers. I did not worry about anything that day - they had everything covered. They kept us on track with timing and made sure everything was done to our liking. Not only is Jackie super organized and professional, she is also extremely sweet and kind. She was so easy to work with! Busy Bride was worth every cent we spent!! Thank you Jackie for helping to make our day truly a dream come true!

From our first meeting with Jackie, we were struck with her attention to detail and professionalism. In addition to that, she has such an upbeat personality and is a joy to be with. She genuinely wants your wedding to be special and stress free.

We used Jackie's a la carte vender search service to find our ceremony/reception venue. She found us beautiful venues that fit within our budget and worked for the vision we had of our wedding. I have to give Jackie a ton of props because when we started our venue search we really had no set vision and knew very little about each other's preferences for the wedding day. She was patient through the whole process, suggested ways for us to evaluate venues, asked vendors all the questions we put in our shared document (she uses GoogleDrive YAY!), and was very responsive to all our questions. She was very patient, but in a way that makes you feel heard and not silly for asking. We ended up with a beautiful ceremony/reception venue at a restaurant in a brownstone in Brooklyn.

We decided to engage Jackie for "Final Countdown" services. It was the best decision we ever made. Jackie had us organized with a very targeted, but manageable to do list. She never asked too much of us at any one time. She was great with our vendors and was the one that relayed and responded to all the hard questions. She made sure all the relevant people (bridal party, parents, etc) were on the same page and everyone had her contact info.

Jackie is definitely there to make sure that you are happy and that your wedding day is what you wanted. She does everything you thought of and more to make sure that happens. On the wedding day she was all about keeping everyone calm and relaxed. She is masterful at it. My mother, sister, and the MOG were all so impressed! It was an amazing day and lovely beyond my expectations!

THANKS JACKIE!!

We hired Jackie Travers at Busy Bride Planning for her “final countdown” package and it was the best decision we made during our entire planning process. We planned an NYC wedding from Texas, but were pretty successful in booking and communicating with vendors ourselves. We hired Jackie so that we “wouldn’t have to worry about anything on the day-of.” She was that and SO much more. Jackie came on 6 weeks prior to our wedding and her organization, attention to detail, willingness to advocate on our behalf, and just general wonderfulness was a ray of light.
Not only did we not have to worry about anything on the day of the wedding, but she made sure that there were no last minute surprises, that everyone got paid, that everyone was where they were supposed to be when they were supposed to be, and that everyone was comfortable and happy and not stressed in the least. She provided recommendations when they were needed, like when we needed a trustworthy cleaner to press my dress 2 days before I needed to wear it (!) and made sure that all of the little things (that aren’t always that little!) were done so that we actually got to enjoy our day.
Her team of professionals were amazing as well. Rachel made sure that everything my husband or I needed was attended to. Moments before the ceremony, I was sitting with my maid of honor in another room while Rachel sat on the floor and spot-treated the train of my dress with make-up remover wipes because it had gotten slightly worse for wear during our pictures. This could have been a stressful moment, but instead I remember that I was sitting in a room with someone who felt like a lifelong friend.
I was truly sad to say goodbye to Jackie at the end of the night and felt like I gained a friend. I can’t recommend her and her team enough!

Jackie Travers is a SUPERHERO! She is worth her ten times her weight in gold and her services should be ten times the price that they are! We used her extended countdown for help the 12 weeks before our wedding and it was the absolute best thing we did! Jackie responds to emails within minutes or at most hours and even though I know she had several weddings in the weeks between the time we started working with her and our wedding she never once made us feel like our wedding wasn't her top priority or the most important thing. Many of the people we worked with had times when we felt they saw our wedding as just another one, because that's what it was, but Jackie never once made us feel like any question or concern we had was anything less than the most important and was always available to chat. She accompanied us to so many vendor meetings, asked all the right questions, and was always prepared and on time! She always knew the right thing to say to us - to ease our nerves, explain a process, etc. - and to vendors. In fact, vendors who swore they never talk to wedding planners and didn't want to work with her solely because that is her occupation, would email or call me within minutes of speaking with her stating that they love her and wish everyone was like her. She is hands down one of the most organized and intelligent people we know and she is definitely the sweetest. I would not have enjoyed our welcome party or the morning of the wedding, or even the few weeks leading up to the big day, if it wasn't for Jackie. It wasn't only the weeks leading up to the wedding where she was amazing, but the wedding day itself! Every time my husband and I needed anything she and her team were there - to fix a bustle, reattach my veil, manage personalities, etc. Jackie and her team were completely in control of everything and could not have done better. I am going to miss communicating with her daily. I only wish we hired her the second we got engaged!

MOB here: I consider myself maybe an 8-9 on a scale of 10 as far as organizing and planning, but the Bride and I made the decision to hire Jackie for the "Final Stretch" of her destination wedding, so that we wouldn't have to worry about anything during the wedding week, and so that I could be present for the Bride on her special day. So it is with the utmost respect and admiration that I can honestly say, Jackie saved the day orchestrating details I didn't even know needed handling! Her timeliness and professionalism returning emails, setting up conference calls, meeting vendors and poring over contracts really impressed us in the weeks leading up to the wedding, but once we finally met her, Jackie's charm, optimism, preparedness, diligence and dedication to making sure all went according to plan simply blew us away. Although it was a 15+ hour day for them, we never saw Jackie or her capable assistants without a genuine smile and the question, "Is there anything you need?" Crazy as it sounds, I was so sad to hug Jackie goodbye! We enthusiastically recommend Busy Bride Planning and Consulting! Alicia, Dallas, TX

Do yourself a favor and hire Jackie! We were planning our NYC wedding from abroad and hired Jackie for final countdown services. My only regret is that we didn't hire her sooner to plan the whole wedding! Jackie was a complete pleasure to work with, she kept us on track, coordinated with all of our vendors and made sure that no detail was overlooked. Throughout the planning process she was always thinking ahead to make sure that we were prepared and in great shape by the wedding day including with so many details that we never would have thought of. She was always flexible and accommodating, scheduling all of our calls across time zones and around our busy schedules – while I know that she had plenty of other weddings that she was working on we definitely felt like we were her only priority. Jackie was also fantastic at working with our other vendors and really improved the quality of service that we received from everyone. When the inevitable last minute things went wrong we never had to panic knowing that Jackie would be able to help us resolve anything that came up. She and her assistants did an amazing job on the actual day as well, keeping everything running smoothly and keeping everyone calm and relaxed. Having Jackie and her team there that day allowed me to completely enjoy the day without trying to manage anything. I can't recommend her more highly!!

Jackie was phenomenal! She was a huge help throughout the entire process - especially when our venue declared bankruptcy 4 months before the wedding and we had to re-plan the entire thing (wound up sticking with the venue - they stayed open, but Jackie helped us find alternatives and worked with us through this very stressful period!). We also had an unexpected move across the country between getting engaged and getting married, so she coordinated a lot of details locally when we weren't able to. I recommend her to everyone!

Jackie was the absolutely best. I worked with her for 6 weeks leading up to my wedding and she helped me do more in 6 weeks than I did in the previous 10 months of planning. She was on top of every single detail, reached out to all vendors to confirm everything, and made sure that everything ran as smoothly as possible during the wedding. I even had guests and members of the wedding party comment on how helpful she was. I can't thank Jackie and her team enough!!!
