The best of the best!!!

Exquisite events is just simply amazing. Scott and the team are true seasoned professionals who handled my wedding so beautifully and responsibly. From the first time we sat down with Scott, to the last final meeting and communication we were so happy and felt very well taken care of. When I walked into my wedding and saw all the work in full execution I was amazed. EE brought my vision to life. From the wine barrels and candles to the string of lights and chandeliers, we received compliments all night. Scott and the team are a JOY to work with and made planning so much easier. I can’t thank them enough. You need them to work your wedding!!!!

Experienced, Exceptional, Elegance.

Exquisite Events took our vision and created a symphony of outstanding elements for our unforgettable wedding weekend. We loved the creativity they added to our inspiration, which made the entire process so enjoyable. The team has an abundance of experience and was on top of *everything*, especially considering all of our unique requests. Today is our one year wedding anniversary and we will never forget the magic that Exquisite Events orchestrated for us.

Happy bride and groom

My parents hired Exquisite Events to plan my wedding, and it was a wonderful decision. They did a fantastic job communicating between everyone-- their team, the vendors, my parents, my in-laws, and us-- and still letting the wedding be completely ours. They have so much experience and so many ideas for every detail, but still gave my fiance and me the time to make decisions for ourselves at every opportunity (and that's what we wanted!). The result was a beautiful wedding and party, filled with personal details and things we loved, and I had absolutely no stress on the day about how things would turn out. Everything went completely smoothly from my end and I know EE works hard to make that happen.

Fantastic Reception at Home in Newport

Exquisite Events (EE) helped us plan our daughter's wedding in Newport RI. Every detail was planned and executed perfectly. I don't see how anything could have been done better. We held the reception at our home, so every detail had to be arranged independently. EE guided us to outstanding vendors, and also worked extremely well with those vendors that we chose ourselves. EE provided an excellent and very accurate spreadsheet of all the expected expenses, and the price ranges for each. This was extremely helpful for planning and choosing different options. The entire EE staff was very responsive over the course of two years of planning for a post-Covid wedding. The other vendors clearly had tremendous respect for EE. One of our meetings with the caterer included our great wedding photographer, and she observed that she had never previously been to a meeting where that caterer had sent their lead event manager to someone's home. Another guest attended a different wedding where one of our vendors provided a lower level of service than what they had seen at our daughter's wedding, and when asked about that the vendor admitted that they always make sure to do their best work for EE because they rely on them for future business and EE demands excellence.
At the reception, the EE staff were everywhere. No detail was overlooked, and EE's owner was present, active and working hard the entire evening.
One of our friends described the reception as a party for the ages, and we could not have done it without EE.

Best in class

Nancy and her team are the absolute A+ standard when it comes to wedding design and decor.
Her vision, professionalism, and communication are best in class. One of the highlights of our wedding was seeing all the decor come to life!! And EE did not fail!!! Highly recommend.

Truly the Best

Reflecting on our daughter's wedding in Newport in August 2019, I can't say enough good things about the hard work of the Exquisite Events team. Stephanie felt like a friend - who literally was there to patiently answer every question and get ahead of needs we didn't know we had. Stasia was so wonderful every step of the way - it's just too hard to summarize the perfection of our experience. Having had experience with planners in other cities, I can truly say that Exquisite Events is the best of the best. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our daughter's and her new husband's celebration so perfect - not one detail was overlooked and not one person's needs were missed.

Couldn't Do It Without Them!!!

We signed on with Exquisite about 9 months prior to our wedding. We had already done what felt like the bulk of the planning such as venue, transportation, room block, entertainment, photographer, etc so we hired them to assist us in the final month of the preparations.
We believed we were already on top of everything and pretty close to being done with the planning process but we learned pretty quickly that there was so much more that we had not yet considered. Exquisite helped us tie up our many loose ends and bring many more ideas and details to our big day. Exquisite is a small company with only a few members of the staff so they limit how many weddings they take on and are able to really focus on each individual event. Being small made it really easy for us to get in touch with Stasia, Nell and Stephanie whenever we had questions or ideas to incorporate into our day. We were going to have a hell of a wedding anyway but Exquisite addressed so many little details that brought our wedding beyond our wildest imaginations. This team is very experienced and they have planned many weddings and other events. They have seen just about every wedding idea out there and helped introduce new ideas for our wedding day and most importantly they knew how to bring the whole picture together.
Stasia, Nell and Stephanie stayed on top of us throughout the entire process. Their attention to detail helped catch anything from slipping through the cracks. Sometimes it was actually annoying sending emails back and forth daily but that constant contact prevented us from procrastinating so we were able to stay ahead of schedule and enjoy a mostly stress free engagement.
As for the actual wedding they went above and beyond to take care of us and our wedding party. We had the main Exquisite team on site as well as a few extra assistants who took care of every need. Their team basically waited on us hand and foot all weekend so that we could soak up every minute. Wedding weekend they became the jack of all trades steaming our clothing, picking up takeout food and snacks, personal uber drivers/designated drivers/chauffeurs, they stocked up and decked out the marital suite, solved multiple major wardrobe malfunctions, kept us fully fed and hydrated (mostly with wine) at our wedding and best of all they dealt with every single vendor all weekend so that all we had to do was party!
10 out 10 would recommend them again!

They know the best in Newport

We held our 25th Anniversary dinner dance for 140 people at our Newport home. Stasia and Stephanie brought in the best local professionals for planning, decor, food and music. Our property was transformed without losing its natural appeal. The food was delicious. We enjoyed the tastings and planning sessions and the results were superb. People are still talking about the party 6 months later.

AMAZING!!!!! Make your wedding planning process enjoyable with Exquisite Events

We worked with Exquisite Events for our August 2019 wedding. Their team was INCREDIBLY helpful in making sure every detail of our wedding was in place. They were SO organized, I never would have thought of half of the wedding related items they did. They also kept punchlists for us of what we had to take care of on certain weeks. I never would have been able to manage work and planning a wedding without Exquisite Events. Exquisite Events kept my entire family sane during the process, allowed me to really enjoy the process and ensured that I could still keep up at work. I look back on the entire wedding planning experience with such fondness, in large part because Exquisite Events made the experience so smooth!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
