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.

It’s hard to come up with sufficiently glowing praise for the Modern Rebel team. As a queer couple, we entered the wedding-planning process worried about how the wedding industry often comes with narrow-minded assumptions at best or outright exclusivity at worst. It was – and we can’t stress this enough – absolutely game-changing (not just for our wedding, but for the last 2 years of our life writ large) to have a team who understands this and actively seeks to change it. This initially drew us to Modern Rebel, and as we worked with them over the past two years, we kept finding more reasons to love them. They provided the most amazing vendor suggestions, they quickly problem-solved for us when we raised concerns, they patiently educated us when we were clueless about wedding-world things, and they enthusiastically celebrated us and our partnership every step of the way. They’re knowledgeable, incredibly organized, and impressively efficient – we felt like we were in the best hands the whole time.

Amy, Caitlin, and Michelle’s expert-level planning ensured that our “love party” not only appeared effortlessly-run, but also so very “us.” They took time to creatively come up with the alternative aisle arrangements after we asked them to, embraced our unorthodox requests re: party props and favors, and made our planning process fun and exciting rather than stressful. A special shout out to our (best-named) team: Michelle’s incredible eye and insight brought our vision for the night to life, creating a truly stunning and unique combination of bold colors, fun neon lights, and a ton of props. Caitlin was the best third teammate (and coach) we could have possibly imagined. She listened attentively to what we wanted and then executed perfectly. She impressed us by not just being amazing at her job but also amazing to be around — both our families and all our friends have raved about how professional, kind, fun, and impressive she was! To be able to work with someone who combined incredible professional expertise with genuine excitement to celebrate us as a couple meant the world to us.

Thanks to Modern Rebel, we showed up to our wedding night and saw an event that reflected who we are, a well-run party that let our loved ones have the time of their lives, and also on top of all this, a planning team we like so much that we genuinely wanted to have them at our wedding. We felt so lucky and can’t recommend them highly enough. Thank you Modern Rebel for everything!!

Huge thanks to Molly and Mina at Modern Rebel for everything they did to make our October 2023 wedding magical. Modern Rebel was recommended by our venue — the two had worked together many times before, which was apparent from the get-go. Together, our venue and Modern Rebel were a well-oiled machine. We started working with Molly as our primary wedding coordinator about a month out, but even before the 30-day mark, she was open to answering some of our preliminary questions. I was a pretty anxious bride, in part because we were merging families from two cultures and there were a lot of high expectations. It was hard for me to "let go" a little, and Molly was very flexible and went with the flow with whatever we needed — if I had to double check something myself, if I had another extra question, etc. At the same time, Molly very gently reminded me a couple times that essentially it was okay for me to relax a little and that she would take care of vendor communication: "That's what we are here for."

On the day of, Molly took the reins from the moment she arrived. She put out fires and came up with solutions to problems behind the scenes in ways that we didn't even know about until later. For example, my sister had a babysitter who had to eat her vendor meal earlier than anticipated, and Molly was immediately on it to make sure that she got her food even though it was a stressful change to the schedule. She was cool-headed when she let us know that the kitchen was behind on serving dinner, and because she was coolheaded, we were, too. Even though dinner took a little longer than anticipated, we actually got back on track with our schedule, even after we asked for 10 extra minutes to do toasts with our guests at their tables. Another issue that arose: Despite all of the things we remembered to bring (curling iron, Band-Aids, extra pens, etc.), we completely forgot our sparklers!! I was fully prepared to accept the possibility that we might just need to have our guests wave their hands in celebration for our exit at the end of the night, but somehow Molly and our venue worked together to find sparklers elsewhere in town! They definitely went above and beyond to make our dreams come true. Thank you, Molly and Modern Rebel!
