Debbie stepped in & immediately started solving problems, making referrals, and offering valuable guidance on the process.
Debbie recommended a Flourist who did truly beautiful work and made my bouquet dreams come true. She designed the dinner space, cocktail hour, reception & ceremony spaces…all were perfect!
She is incredibly professional, communicative, transparent, timely, and thoughtful. She is thorough and anticipated our needs and possible challenges, then had solutions and recommendations. I loved every aspect of working with her.
She set things up beautifully, and was the last in site, cleaning things up. I would absolutely recommend her!!!!

Wow wow wow! I wanted to take the time to leave the most thorough review of high praise because Debbie's team was absolutely fantastic to work with from beginning to end.

We hired Debbie about a month out from our wedding for Day-of coordination as well as to review and revise all of the vendor contracts that we had done prior to hiring her. Debbie picked up sloppy and mismanaged work from a previous planner we parted ways with. It was no easy feat to pick up the previous planner's work and correct it and Debbie dived in head first. She asked thoughtful, detailed oriented questions the entire time to make sure that she executed my vision to the tee.

Debbie and I had frequent calls leading up to our wedding detailing every aspect of the wedding and logistics. The logistics of being a NYC DIY-heavy bride without a car we were concerned as it was important to me that we didn't have family and friends setting up on wedding day. Debbie came by and took inventory of all of our DIY materials, picked them up prior to the wedding, set them up wedding day, and then dropped them off back at our house on wedding night.
The venue we rented had to be left cleared and clean and Debbie's team did a fantastic job with that and left the place spotless. Debbie also sent me photos of the space for reference.

Now for Debbie's team on our wedding day. My family and guests LOVED Debbie's team. They were kind, eager, and did anything my family requested of them. I found out after the fact that one of Debbie's team members helped my stepmom-in-law with her makeup before the ceremony, which was definitely outside of their roles and responsibilities, but they did it with such a smile and grace. I heard multiple stories just like that one of Debbie's team jumping to help wedding guests or even vendors as they needed it during the night.

If you are looking for someone detail-oriented who will keep a tight timeline and help you bring your dream wedding to life, I would 100% recommend hiring Debbie. She was worth every penny to my husband and me. And our wedding would have not gone as smoothly as it did without her ability to manage so many different aspects and quickly think on her feet.

Debbie did such an amazing job we are really hoping our day gets picked up by a bridal magazine.

Thank you Debbie and Team! - The Flemings

We started working with Debbie for an Oct 2020 wedding but unfortunately had to cancel all our plans given the pandemic and start over in 2021. For a while we were on the fence on when and where to do it. Throughout this whole process, Debbie was an angel. Even though we hired her initially when we already had a venue, she went above and beyond and helped us find a new venue given our concerns around COVID safety. Then she continued to help us throughout the process. We planned a wedding in 1.5 months. We were very busy and stressed b/c of COVID but she made it happen. She was always available, willing to do anything to help and super patient with us. The event turned out beautifully.
Debbie also set herself apart with her willingness to be direct and give us guidance. When she thought something was not a good deal or was not going to match with our theme, she was not afraid to express her opinion in a respectful way. Her advice was always from a genuine desire to help us realize a great wedding (and not let my fears get in the way).

You can't go wrong with Debbie! She is awesome!

My now husband found On-Time Event Planning and Debbie Lucy about a month or so before our wedding date. He saw the stress building to a breaking point as I was trying to plan our wedding and work at the same time. We had a meet and greet phone call with Debbie and knew immediately that we wanted to work with her. Debbie is extremely professional and dealt with each issue or problem with aplomb and a calm reassurance that alleviated all of my stress and allowed me to do what every bride wishes--just focus on the fun stuff and enjoy waking up on the wedding day without having to worry about the details. Debbie took care of everything, and during Covid that can mean last minute unexpected wrinkles. She is highly responsive to emails, text messages, and phone calls. She anticipated and asked about details I wouldn't have known to even consider. Several of my guests, including my mother, commented on her skill of making the actual day run incredibly smoothly. There was never a moment where guests were standing around unsure of what was happening next. Debbie also made sure I changed into comfortable shoes (that she insisted I bring), as I spent most of the night dancing. She handled the timeline, sent out the venue's required Covid survey to all the guests and dealt with all issues that arose related to that, was ready with Plan B when it seemed as though my place cards were not going to arrive on time, and contacted all of the vendors on my behalf and communicated with them. Debbie asked me if I wanted to be included on those emails and I opted out, knowing that I was in very good hands. That one aspect alone made the experience of hiring Debbie worthwhile.
On-Time Event Planning and Debbie Lucy enhanced my wedding. We could not have asked for a better experience with a wedding planner. Simply the best.

I would recommend "On Time Event Planning " for any occasion. They have a lot of innovative ideas to help make your imagination possible. They are very attentive to your needs and highly professional. The customer service is a one! Debbie makes you feel comfortable to leave the planning in her hands. I was wowed by the final outcome and look forward to using her again in my future event planning. Thank you for helping make my vision come true.

In my line of work as a DJ for more than 25 years, I’ve worked with numerous Event/Wedding planners. On-Time Event Planning has been the best by far.
Debbie Lucy’s focus on the details of our celebration left no stone unturned.
Her decorum, patience and professionalism demonstrated during an adverse situation with our caterer, reigned supreme and allowed my wife and I to focus on our guests.
From theme and color scheme to music and vendors, she was on top of it. She even assisted as a food server when one of the hired servers had an emergency on the day of our event.
Without hesitation, we will use On-Time Event for future celebrations and will highly recommend them to family and friends.

On a scale from 1-10, Ms. Debbie’s service was a certified 20! There were so many up in the air details regarding our wedding due to Covid and Ms. Debbie made sure that as a Bride, I was NOT stressed out!!! She always reassured me “you’re getting married, and it’s going to be amazing!” She made it happen! She took care of everything we needed and MORE - things we didn’t even know we needed, from coordinating, to decorations, venues, the list goes on! Not to mention, she broke her leg earlier this year and was still so ON TOP OF EVERY SINGLE DETAIL. I’m not sure what we would have done without her. She was beyond professional but made us feel like family at the same time. We only had a ceremony this year and pushed our reception to next year due to Covid, but she made the Wedding day still feel like “The Big Day!” Ms. Debbie also advised us in NOT spending a whole
lot of UNNECESSARY MONEY! She cares about making sure her clients can live comfortably after the Wedding. She made my Bridal Party and Family feel like a million bucks, and had her chef prepare to-go meals for us to eat as we headed to take pictures. AMAZING! I can go on and on and on!
Ms. Debbie knows what she’s doing and will do more than the job of a coordinator because she is truly in the business of blessing others. We are eternally grateful to her for all of her hard work and look forward to working with her again for our reception in 2022!

Book On Time Event-Planning! You will NOT regret it!!!

THANK YOU MS. DEBBIE!

With love,
Crystal & Terell Butler

Debbie was a fantastic wedding planner. We had our wedding at a raw space (26 Bridge in DUMBO), and Debbie was able to help pull it all together. She brought our wedding in on budget, her staff was excellent, and our wedding even got a write-up in the NYTimes! Truly a perfect day for us.

Debbie was phenomenal. Words can't even explain how great she was. Debbie was my day of coordinator but I had her every step of the way. She helped me in so many ways. From the minute I booked her services she got to work. From taking all of deliveries the day before, checking in with vendors, creating my timeline, coordinating the rehearsal dinner and helping out wherever I need and guiding me through this process. There was no way I would have had a smooth wedding day without Debbie. Not only was she great but her staffing was excellent and so nice and helpful. I had a last minute request for my catering company that I whispered in her staffs ear when I was about to walk down the aisle. I was surprised that when I walked in to the room it was fulfilled. Debbie is so knowledgeable on weddings. She is organized and attentive. Her attention to detail and her timeliness was superb. My whole family was in awe. To this day my sister and fiancé will not stopping talking about her. We will be using her in the future for all of our events. I don't think I can ever thank her enough. I promise you that you would be so happy booking Debbie for your event. She will not disappoint. She is truly a lifesaver and I am forever grateful for her. I found a diamond in the rough with her!

This was my first time working with on time event planning and they live up to the name down to the second. Job well done
