The best!

We had the pleasure of having Lucy as our Day of Coordinator for our wedding in September 2025.
We chose the day of coordination package and it was nothing short of AMAZING. Lucy was consistently professional, kind, EXTREMELY organized & brought a calming energy throughout the entire wedding process. From the first interaction, she was personable and made us feel comfortable.
She not only answered every question that we had, bur reassured us throughout the entire process that our dream day and vision was within reach.

She was always prompt when responding to any communications, and was extremely flexible (even when we changed things the day of our wedding).
We had so many ideas that we wanted to make happen, and Lucy was able to curate a timeline that fit all of them in - without us feeling rushed or overwhelmed.

We truly do not believe that our wedding would have gone as smoothly if it was not for Lucy being by outside!

Not to mention- she ran the rehearsal the day before and was able to get everyone involved to understand their roles & places (we had a huge processional).
We could not recommend Lucy enough - she’s the best decision we made!

We couldn’t have done it without Lucy!

We had the pleasure of working with Lucy, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, Lucy was organized, responsive, and genuinely invested in making our day perfect.

Her attention to detail was incredible and she handled every aspect with professionalism and care.

What stood out most was her calm, reassuring presence. No matter what came up, she handled it seamlessly behind the scenes. Our vendors were coordinated perfectly, and the entire day felt effortless from our perspective.

If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, thoughtful, and truly passionate about what they do, we wholeheartedly recommend Lucy.

Literally love her !!

We hired Lucy for her full-service package for our January 2026 wedding and I honestly don’t know how anyone plans a wedding without her.

From the first meeting, I felt like I could breathe. She understood our vision better than we did half the time and made every decision feel easy. I would spiral, she would calmly say “I’ve got it” and she actually did.

The day itself? Flawless. If anything went wrong, I have zero clue because I was too busy being present and having the best day of my life. Our guests kept saying how smooth everything felt and that’s 100% because of her.

She’s organized, creative, calm, and just genuinely cares. Worth every single penny. I’d book her again in a heartbeat.

Still not over it tbh 🥹

Wedding Reception

I can't thank Lucy Donnelly Events enough for the incredible job she did decorating my reception table! She truly turned my vision into reality and went above and beyond to create a beautiful, personalized setting that perfectly reflected the vibe I wanted for my special day.

From the start, Lucy was so easy to work with—professional, responsive, and attentive to every little detail. She made sure everything was exactly how I imagined, and I couldn’t have been more thrilled with the final result. It was clear she put so much care and creativity into her work.

If you're looking for someone to bring your event to life with stunning décor and a smooth, stress-free experience, I would absolutely recommend Lucy to anyone! You won’t be disappointed!

BEST wedding planner

I have had the pleasure of knowing Lucy for several years, initially assisting her at weddings. From my firsthand experience, Lucy always remains calm when faced with unexpected challenges. Her attention to detail ensures that every aspect of an event is flawless and she has a true talent for crafting well-organized timelines. Now that I am getting married, it’s only natural she plan it :) Lucy has been extreme helpful in managing my budget (something I’m terrible at). She keeps me on track with tasks which I appreciate since I want to be involved in every decision. Lucy has been incredibly flexible as I’ve changed my mind on several items. Honestly, I think Lucy is more excited about my wedding than I am! Thank you Lucy for everything you are doing to make my big day stress free and magical! I couldn’t imagine going through this process without you.
