Leslie Scotto Events, LLC

Leslie at Leslie Scotto Events did an absolutely incredible job planning our wedding and if you are looking for a planner you should hire her right now.

Leslie (and Alison) helped us pull off an absolutely stunning wedding. We got married the backyard - so we had to build an event space from scratch. Covid threw our guest list into a blender. Planning an October wedding outside meant that any weather was possible. Yet, though-out the planning process Leslie guided us and our families with a calm but realistic outlook. No challenge was too great, but a common sense pragmatism helped us avoid pitfalls and focus on the things that were truly important for us.

And Leslie shines brightest in the final stretch. In the weeks leading up to the wedding weekend she was everywhere - on site supervising the tent install, helping pick candles, coordinating all the vendors to build the perfect space. The night before the wedding she saw that our dancefloor was just a little steeper and slicker than expected and went out and bought carpet to make it easier for our guests to dance. This attention to detail can go overlooked until you look back and realize that it feels like nothing went wrong. The day before the wedding we were ready to help finish setting up only to find out there really wasn't anything left to do - everything had been done on time and the last few remaining tasks were already assigned out. All we had to do was enjoy the weekend.

There are so many more things we could say, but the short answer is that if you are looking for a wedding planner you should absolutely hire Leslie and her team. They will work with you every step of the way and ensure that when it is time for the event everything has been taken care of and all that is left to do is enjoy it.

PS - to couples planning your wedding, the only thing that Leslie will absolutely insist on is that you eat at your wedding. Another small thing that makes the day (and rest of the night) go so much smoother.

All I can say is: hire Leslie and her wonderful team! My husband and I were so pleased with Leslie's service throughout the course of our wedding. From the very beginning, she was organized, thoughtful, and provided us with expert recommendations on local vendors that fit our personalities. She kept us on track and was always willing to chat with us as worries and stresses came up throughout the course of planning (as they always will!). She was particularly great at liaising with my parents (who were hosting the wedding in their backyard), but also checking in with me and my husband who were out-of-state.

But truly, it was the month prior to the wedding that Leslie and her team really shined! She was so innovative and creative with solutions, and I always felt like I was in good hands. For instance, because of the slope of our backyard, the dance floor was slightly angled, and with rainy weather forecast, we were all very worried about people falling. Leslie to the rescue! The night before the wedding, she texts my mother about her idea to get a carpet from Home Depot, and then rented a Uhaul with her husband to get it to our house! And it worked miraculously! Despite rain, no one fell on the dance floor (and it really helped with the slope!). Truly above and beyond! She also has wonderful taste, so you're in very good hands if things need to change at the last minute with supply chain issues. The candles we thought we wanted weren't available at the last minute, but the ones Leslie chose (and indeed were the ones she initially recommended) were PERFECTION. Looking back on photos, I can't believe we were going to go with a different color!

All in all, Leslie and her team (and particularly Alison, who was the team member who helped us) were just wonderful. I would recommend them to anyone! Thank you, Leslie & Team for making our wedding day absolutely perfect!

As the mother-of-the-bride I cannot possibly recommend Leslie and her team enough. From my first panicked phone call four months ago when our daughter and fiance decided to push forward with a fall wedding (in our backyard no less!) Leslie was confident, reassuring and optimistic that she could help us pull everything together in time. And did she ever! With steadfast diligence, incredible ingenuity, and pure determination to make everyone happy, Leslie took the vision we had for our daughter's wedding and made it a reality - a joyful, happy, memorable day that we will treasure forever. And because we had Leslie at the helm, my husband and I were able to enjoy every second of it which we will always be grateful for. Leslie and her team are pure gold - I would hire them again in a heartbeat.
