The Hidden Hero of Our Entire Wedding Weekend

Working with Irene was truly one of the best decisions we made. She handled so many behind-the-scenes logistics beautifully - things we didn’t even know were happening until after the fact. From gracefully pivoting plans during last-minute rain to running down electrolytes for the bride, she made sure every moment ran seamlessly and stress-free.

What amazed us most was how she completely understood our vision - from just a few hastily compiled images that we sent her - and brought it to life perfectly. Somehow, she sourced vendors and design details that perfectly matched our style and personalities. Irene is incredibly well-connected and curated a team of fantastic vendors, all while being supportive and pressure-free when we chose an external recommendation.

She was also unbelievably responsive - no question too small, no late-night worry too inconvenient - and managed our modified Hindu ceremony with such grace, warmth, and respect for our traditions. It meant the world to us that she honored our culture so thoughtfully.

We both work long hours and didn’t have much time to plan, but Irene pulled everything together with little direction and made it feel effortless. On top of that, her value for money is unmatched - she delivers top-tier service without the ego or markup you often find in the wedding world.

We can’t imagine our wedding weekend without her. If you want a planner who’s calm under pressure, impeccably organized, endlessly responsive, and genuinely invested in creating something magical for you - Irene is the one.

The best and most caring wedding planner out there

We can’t say enough great things about Irene and her team. We hired Irene as our wedding planner and designer for a Fall wedding at 620 Loft and Gardens in New York City. This was a long process, and a logistically challenging space to co-ordinate in (a beautiful blank space venue, but this also means you need just under a gazillion vendors to bring our vision to light), and she was with us through it all — from the venue tours, to design to when a parade closed off our loading schedule to when forecasts were predicting a potential hurricane.

Because of her, our wedding day was absolutely magical, even with rain! Her team was AMAZING, and allowed us to fully enjoy the day without working about any logistics. Her team was there as early as 5:30AM to set-up the venue (before the parade shut down roads) and handled even bringing our gifts, second dresses etc, back to our hotel, so that we could even enjoy the final moments of our wedding.

An absolutely incredible and caring wedding planner, we can’t recommend her enough!

In Irene We Trust

Irene was the best wedding planner we could have asked for - her candor, professionalism, responsiveness, and vision for our wedding exceeded our wildest expectations. With most of our wedding guests traveling from across the country to attend our wedding, we were wrangling many family members and friends throughout the week; Irene handled every single detail of our wedding weekend without taking our focus away from being with our friends and family. The planning process with Irene and her team was smooth, efficient, and enjoyable for us! Irene has a phenomenal network of vendors and contacts that made our entire weekend exceedingly special. Our wedding was more beautiful than we could have even imagined - Irene is a true visionary and executed every single thing we wanted down to the finest details. All of our guests raved about how perfect the day was - and we couldn't have done any of it without Irene!

Warm, Organized, and On-It!

We were lucky enough to work with Irene on Eli & Kamal's big day! We were providing the music, and she was a masterful "orchestrator" throughout the planning process. Any questions we needed answered or details we needed sorted out, she had well in hand, responding quickly and with a warmth and personal touch you don't always see in this industry. We absolutely recommend working with her to make the planning process seamless and stress-free!

A True Partner in Making Our Day Perfect — Enthusiastically Recommend Irene!

We had our wedding at La Caille in Sandy, Utah. Initially, we were working with a different wedding planner who, unfortunately, turned out to be a disaster: obsessing over irrelevant details, slow to respond, and leaving us to handle most of the heavy lifting ourselves.

Firing our first planner was one of the best decisions we made, because it brought Irene into our lives. From the moment she stepped in, it was a breath of fresh air. Irene is incredibly organized, thoughtful, and efficient. She immediately brought structure, energy, and true professionalism to the process.

We were continually blown away by how conscientious she was: not only handling everything with grace, but also anticipating needs before they even surfaced. She seamlessly organized all of our vendors (including several complicated, unusual requests) and consistently went above and beyond at every stage.

My wife and I could not recommend Irene more highly. She and her team truly made the experience for us. If you’re looking for a real partner who cares deeply about making your special day extraordinary, Irene is the planner you want by your side.

Speaking personally: I've spent my career managing large-scale industrial projects, and I can confidently say Irene would put even the most seasoned project managers to shame. She is that good.

Hopefully, this will be the only wedding either of us plans (lol) but if we had to do it all over again, we would call Irene without hesitation.

Spanish Market with WIPA

I recently had the pleasure of photographing an incredible WIPA event at Siempre with Irene & Co, + I was blown away! As someone who has worked with many wedding planners, Irene immediately stood out from the moment we began planning. Her execution, vision, organization + creativity were truly next level.

The beautifully curated ‘Spanish Market’ theme was woven seamlessly throughout the event, from the stunning paper products + thoughtful table designs to the vibrant music, decorated Vespa, live painter + incredible food. Every detail was intentional + beautifully executed.

If you’re looking for a planner who not only brings your vision to life but elevates it beyond expectations, Irene is the one! I can’t wait to work with her + her amazing team again!

One of the best of the best! You won't be disappointed!

Magleby's (and I as a coordinator here at Magleby's) has had the opportunity to work with Irene and Co many times over the past couple of years on a variety of different events.. With that being said, we have nothing but good to say about her and her team! They are excellent at communicating, have the knowledge, professionalism, experience, and skill that any client dreams of having for their special day! We would recommend Irene and her team over and over again!
