The Calm we needed

When we started planning our wedding, we had a clear vision. We knew we had the ability to handle many details ourselves. Still, we made the decision to bring in an expert to elevate our ideas and bring them to life the right way.
After attending a wedding expo, we felt overwhelmed. We interviewed several planners. From our first meeting, Stacey removed every fear we had. She listened carefully. She understood our vision. She gave us structure, direction, and confidence from day one.

For a full year, Stacey and her team guided us through every step. She managed everything. From our stationery to the napkins. From the overall theme to the décor with the florist. She coordinated vendors, negotiated contracts, and kept every moving part aligned. Everything was handled in a timely fashion. Nothing was rushed. Nothing was late. Every detail landed exactly when it needed to.

She saved us money.
She saved us time.
She eliminated stress.

I am someone who likes control. It was hard for me to hand the reins over to someone else. But it was extremely liberating to watch an experienced professional take charge. I stopped worrying about logistics. I started enjoying the process. That shift changed everything for us.

Our wedding was one week after Christmas. While most people were still in holiday mode, Stacey was in constant communication with vendors. She stayed ahead of issues we did not even know existed. She protected the timeline and kept everything moving.

During wedding week, Stacey and her team went above and beyond. They showed up early. They followed through. They anticipated needs before anyone had to ask.

On the wedding day, everything ran like a Swiss watch. The timing was precise. The transitions were seamless. We were able to stay present and enjoy every moment because Stacey was executing behind the scenes.

We feel blessed to have had Stacey guide us through this journey. She became more than our planner. She became a true friend, and she will remain one.

If you are feeling overwhelmed like we once did, trust Stacey. She has the experience, the network, and the leadership to deliver at the highest level.

We wish Stacey and her team nothing but continued success.

Love,
Melissa & Duff

Cannot thank Peony Events enough!!

Peony events were just what we needed to plan the wedding tailored perfectly to us - Stacey and her team were incredibly kind and knowledgeable throughout the entire process, helping us navigate vendors and our venue to design exactly what we wanted for our big day. She was a patient and supportive partner throughout the entire process which was just what we needed - hopping on the phone to calm my nerves, talk through decisions, and act as a cheerleader for us on the day of. She's a problem solver who advocated for us day of to work around anything unexpected and keep us on track through the entire run of show. Cannot thank her enough!

Five-Stars! Highly Recommend Stacey and her team at Peony Events!

I highly recommend Stacey Sainato and her team at Peony Events! They planned and organized a beautiful bridal shower for me. Working with them was an absolute dream. Communication was seamless every step of the way—they were responsive, organized, and always one step ahead, which made the entire planning process completely stress-free especially since I was planning this shower long distance. The floral arrangements were genuinely breathtaking; every bloom looked fresh, vibrant, and thoughtfully placed to enhance the atmosphere. The invitations were beautifully designed, polished, and perfectly aligned with the theme of the event, and the table décor was gorgeous . Every detail was stunning, from the color palette to the textures and layout—our guests couldn’t stop complimenting everything! Walking into the room felt like stepping into a magazine spread. Thanks to their creativity, professionalism, and incredible attention to detail, our celebration was more beautiful than we could have imagined. If you're looking for someone who brings your vision to life with style and ease, Peony Events is the absolute best!

Thankful for Peony Events!!

We cannot thank Stacey and Peony Events enough for being by our side and for bringing our vision to life and even better than we could've ever imagined. The absolute best planners with the best advice. We weren't going to do a choreographed dance and take dance lessons, but Stacey suggested we consider it, she said that all of her couples end up having the best time and they are unexpected, fun date nights..which in turn, bring up your dancing to the next level. Our guests were blown away and were joking around with us about being on dancing with the stars, lol. We NEVER thought it would be for us until Stacey made the suggestion and explained it to us in more detail. This is just one example of Peony Events expertise and wonderful advice to us during our wedding planning. Most of our meetings were on zoom, but when we were able to, we loved being at the Peony Events storefront..it's calm, beautiful and serene. In the month of our wedding, we dropped off all of our day of items and even shipped last minute items to Peony Events which was super convenient. They brought everything to our venue on the day of which helped us out tremendously. We hired Peony Events for partial planning and design and the only regret we have is that we wished we hired them for full planning. If you want a planner who will support you, give you honest advice, bring creativity to your designs, Peony Events is the perfect match for you. Thank you to Stacey and her team for making us truly feel like guests during our wedding weekend, we are so thankful.

Peony Events = The absolute BEST Wedding Planners!

My husband, our families and I are forever grateful for Stacey and the amazing team at Peony Events! We keep saying we truly don't know what we would've done without them, throughout all of the planning and during our entire wedding weekend. We interviewed several planners in NJ and NY for full planning and we just knew hands down that Stacey and Peony Events was the PERFECT fit for us (and our Mom's). Stacey has a very calming way about her that just immediately put my type A mind at ease from our very first zoom meeting. Whenever we had any questions, they (Stacey/Meghan) answered them in a timely manner and always went above and beyond. From assistance with our venue, all of our vendors, to our overall design/mood boards, flower selections, invitations, and all the day of details to even assisting with my bridal attire..they literally assisted us every step of the way. On the day of the wedding, we stayed on schedule to the minute-by-minute solid timeline they put together for us. Our venue and all of the vendors complimented us on how detailed their timeline was, the team at Peony Events are true professionals and rockstars. Every step of the way, we could always count on Peony Events! Thank you a million times over. We know we will stay friends with Stacey because she feels more like family to us then our wedding planner after working with her for a year and a half. We can't wait to use Peony Events for all of our future events to come!

The Best Decision We Made – Working with Peony Events

Working with Stacey and the Peony Events team was truly the best decision we made for our wedding (and our couples shower!). From our very first meeting, Stacey’s professionalism, warmth, and vision immediately put me at ease. Planning a wedding is often described as stressful, but thanks to Stacey, our experience was the complete opposite — it was fun, creative, and incredibly meaningful.

Stacey brought a level of creativity and style that made our events feel personal and elevated, all while remaining beautifully cohesive. She has a natural ability to translate a vision into reality, and her attention to detail is unmatched. Beyond her eye for design, what truly sets Stacey apart is her deep-rooted relationships with top-tier vendors. Every recommendation she made — from florals to rentals to entertainment — was a perfect match, and I always felt like I was in the best hands.

What I appreciated most was the confidence and peace of mind Stacey gave us. I never had to worry about a thing — I was able to be fully present for every moment, knowing she had everything handled flawlessly behind the scenes. She truly became someone I trusted wholeheartedly, and I cannot imagine going through the planning process without her.

If you’re on the fence about hiring a planner — let this be your sign. Working with Peony Events allowed us to actually enjoy the months leading up to our big day and to soak in every second when it arrived. Stacey exceeded every expectation and then some, and I will forever be grateful for the experience she helped create.

Top Notch Service

I can’t put into words how appreciative I am for the work Stacey and the whole Peony Events team put in for our wedding. I had extremely high expectations with a very specific vision but no idea how to capture it all. We had a big wedding with some complicated design and travel logistics. Stacey was unbelievable in the way in which she not only brought my vision to life but also knew where to add her own advice, perspective and input. She guided me around areas I was less informed about and also found ways to ensure we had the right vendors, people, and details for everything I wanted. She managed the whole process for me with the vendors and the venue. This was truly crucial for me because of my demanding job. Stacey also has a way of making you feel calm. She can destress any situation. Both my mom and I continue to talk about how positive, stress-free and fun she made the entire wedding process. I can’t speak more positively about Stacey and her team. She is a class act!

Wedding Planner Angels!

Stacey is an absolute wedding planner angel! From our first conversation up until the wedding day, she guided us through the process with professionalism, amazing vendor referrals, the best day of timeline and wedding day that I had always dreamed of. I'm a pretty anxious person and Stacey has a calming demeanor that just puts your mind at ease, which is something that was priceless in itself for me. She made our wedding planning stress free, seamless and a truly enjoyable experience. We were lucky to have been referred to her by a dear family friend and now we will be the ones referring Stacey and her team to everyone we know! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our day a dream come true!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

I had the pleasure of working with Peony Events in September, 2015 at an outdoor wedding at a private residence for a lovely family. The wedding was absolutely stunning. Stacey was great to work with - patient and knowledgable; handled all issues as they arose. The outcome was perfect for the bride and groom! I would recommend Peony Events to couples looking to plan a wedding.
