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.
