Simply the best!

Can't overstate how amazing Modern Rebel was.

We weren't a conventional couple (I proposed to my now-husband) and we knew we didn't want a conventional wedding. But we didn't really know what that might look like. Modern Rebel--specifically Amy and Adriana--were exactly what we needed: kind, thoughtful, open-minded, fun, creative, organized, and very experienced.

Their insights were invaluable, and they were such incredible partners in helping us design a wedding that felt like *us*. No cookie-cutter pulled-from-Pinterest ideas, or "shoulds" about how we should do the ceremony or the reception.

It's clear that this is a team that's not just passionate about parties, but passionate about people and the power of love; everything the Modern Rebel team does really seems to be rooted in the thing that got you planning a wedding in the first place: your relationship.

Once we were out of the planning phase and into the coordination phase, they took care of EVERYTHING--and we had multiple vendors comment to us how organized and communicative they were.

It's been a few months since our wedding and we still have friends and family tell us how special ours was; it was with Modern Rebel's help that we were able to capture the essence of our relationship and turn it into one big celebration.

Whether you're an unconventional couple, looking to add depth and meaning to your wedding, or just looking to throw a wild party and don't want to have to deal with all the details, you'll find that the Modern Rebel team will help you plan the part of your dreams.

Loved modern rebel!

We worked with Modern Rebel for day-of coordination and could not have asked for a more stellar experience. Molly was thoughtful, reassuring, and so on board with our offbeat ideas. My husband and I wanted to flip the script on a few more "traditional" wedding things and instead of pushing back, the Modern Rebel team wanted to push us to keep reinventing our wedding to be uniquely us. There were several DIY details to our wedding that Molly and her team were able to riff off of, like figuring our the flower distribution, table settings, disco ball installation, and our friend's art textile dye installation. On our wedding day, we had a few check ins with Molly but ultimately both of us knew we were in SUCH good hands and WOW what a beautiful space we walked into when we saw the venue day of. Thank you thank you thank you to the team!!!! We love Modern Rebel.

Our Hot July Love Party

If you are looking for a contemporary wedding planner who pushes the boundaries to make your wedding personal, sets aside the stuffy traditions, and keeps things in perspective, it has to be Modern Rebel! If you want a lead wedding planner who combines professionalism with a personal touch, we wholeheartedly recommend Brittany.

While searching for a wedding planner, we wanted something far beyond the typical, cookie-cutter approach, to help bring our non-traditional wedding to life.
We had grand visions of saying our vows on a hot July day surrounded by loved ones on a boat sailing around the tip of Manhattan, followed by champagne sabering, and photos with smoke sticks, all while being serenaded by Spanish guitarists. For the night-time, we wanted to host a full-on, Motown infused dance session, and transform the windowless ballroom ‘party-bunker’ into a color-blocked, light-changing, night club, entertained by a talented band.

Modern Rebel brought that vision to life, which is A LOT of life to create!. They listened to all of our ‘out-there’ creative ideas and delivered something that wowed our guests all while keeping our feet and budget firmly on the ground with their experienced advice. We loved how personal they not only made ‘the day’, but the whole wedding planning experience, from day one when we created our ‘marriage mantra’, to the days after the wedding recalling the highlights.

We can’t say enough good things about Brittany, our lead wedding planner. From day one, Brittany was a delight to work with. Her easygoing nature made planning feel like an ongoing conversation with a friend, yet she was also firm with vendors when necessary, ensuring everything stayed on track.
Unfortunately she needed to be stern more than she might have liked with one particular vendor but she struck the right balance of keeping us informed while managing the issues behind the scenes so as not to create any stress. Brittany also came up with creative ideas to manage our vision within our budget, including finding an experienced photography duo that perfectly the matched the vibe we were looking for.

On our wedding day, Brittany’s behind-the-scenes work was truly invaluable, as she traveled from Williamsburg to Southstreet Seaport and back, coordinating multiple vendors, tactfully making sure our wedding party was always where they needed to be, and even helped the bride to change into some comfortable shoes at the end of the night! The efforts of Brittany, Michelle, and Kara allowed us to fully enjoy the day without a hitch.
