The coordinator you need!

Peter was truly the backbone of our wedding day, making everything feel absolutely seamless from start to finish. Despite a few unexpected hiccups, he was there in an instant to save the day with a calm confidence that let us enjoy every moment without worry. Peter and his team didn’t just coordinate—they treated us like family, genuinely invested in bringing to life every detail of our vision. He went above and beyond in every way. If you’re looking for a day-of coordinator or someone to take charge of the entire planning process, Peter is your guy! We’d recommend him over and over again without hesitation.

Best Wedding Coordinator Ever!

My wife had to convince me to hire Peter, because we were really trying to keep our wedding on a tight budget. During the wedding, though, it quickly became clear to me that we would not have been able to pull off our vision without him. He takes care of all of the things that stress you out, removing them from your full plate and handling them independently. But more than that, his expertise and professionalism mean that he also takes care of things you never even think of. I remember one moment this became really clear to me was when we were standing at the top of the aisle, ready for our walk, and he was coordinating with the DJ to make sure music was looped to allow it to sync with the walk, but also that the music got switched at the right time for the groom to start my walk. I never would have had the forethought to run through those contingencies. He was in close contact with all of our other vendors, helping everything run smoothly. After the wedding, I realized there were a few things that he discretely took care of (like when some of our decorations broke in transport, he went out and bought new ones without bothering us with questions or asking permission), so I'm sure there's dozens of other things I didn't even notice. He's a no-fuss guy who gets the job done, has a calming presence (in planning zoom meetings, over text, and in person), is attentive without being demanding (he was always at hand when we needed him, but was never hovering or in our intimate space), and is very warm and kind. He also had lots of excellent advice and ideas (ask him about the "post-ceremony, Bride and Groom moment to themselves"), but is also flexible and always reiterates that they're suggestions only, and he is there to make our vision real. I'm so, so glad we hired him, it was one of the best decisions we made while planning the wedding. I highly recommend him, I can't say enough good things about how he helped us in so many ways. Thank you Peter!

The best planner out there!

Peter was the backbone of our wedding event! From the earliest conversations to the final fading candle at the end of our reception, every detail carried the unmistakable signature of care. Peter remained calm and collected, providing us peace of mind. Peter and the team allowed us to truly enjoy our wedding day and be present. Planned by Peter is the best investment we made. I cannot recommend Peter enough!

If I could give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would.

Working with Planned By Peter. Weddings & Events was truly one of the best decisions my business partner Krystal and I made while planning our multi-day luxury micro-wedding workshop for photographers. From start to finish, they were incredibly organized, communicative, and genuinely invested in making everything run seamlessly.

We experienced some pretty intense weather conditions—rain on day one and 30+ MPH winds on day two—and somehow, they handled it all with professionalism and calm confidence. Not only did they keep everything on track, but they went above and beyond to ensure every single vendor was taken care of and supported throughout the event.

Their knowledge and connections in the industry are unmatched. They anticipated needs before we even realized them ourselves and handled countless behind-the-scenes details that we didn’t have to stress about at all. And I truly still can’t get over the fact that they managed to secure and maintain a full tablescape in 35 MPH winds—unreal.

They exceeded every expectation we had and then some. You don’t fully realize how much goes into executing an event like this until you work with a team like theirs and see just how much they carry on their shoulders.

As a wedding photographer, I will be recommending them to all of my couples moving forward, and I will absolutely be using them again for any future events I host. Could not recommend them enough.

The BEST coordinator ever!

Peter and his crew were AMAZING. We hired for day-of coordination and could not imagine having made a better decision. Peter was kind, responsive, and very on top of all the small details. I was a little nervous when we decided to only get day-of assistance, because I feared there would be limited communication or lack of cohesion. My worries were definitely not warranted! The day was magnificent and Peter and his crew ensured everything ran smoothly. He went through every detail of the day in our initial meeting, and even came to our rehearsal! I cannot recommend Peter enough, he is THE BEST.

Peter is amazing!

Working with Peter was truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. I honestly don’t think I could have managed the day without him and his incredible team. From our very first conversation, it was clear that Peter genuinely cares about his couples and takes so much pride in what he does.

He was on top of every single detail; logistics, timelines, vendor coordination, rehearsal management, and décor setup; everything ran flawlessly. I shared my vision for a cozy, chic fall wedding, and he brought it to life even better than I imagined. Every space looked stunning, every transition felt effortless, and it was all because of his attention to detail and calm, organized presence.

On top of that, Peter went above and beyond by MC’ing our reception since we didn’t have a DJ, and he was amazing at it! He kept the night flowing perfectly and our guests absolutely adored him. Multiple people came up to us to say how kind, professional, and fun he was to work with.

What truly stood out to me was how much heart he puts into everything. He listened, supported, and executed every part of our day with such care. He even picked up all of our décor beforehand and dropped it off after the wedding, which was such a lifesaver for us.

Peter is more than just a coordinator, he’s the person who turns your dream into reality and makes sure you actually get to enjoy it. I can’t recommend him enough to any couple looking for a planner who’s not only exceptional at what he does, but also just an amazing human being.

Peter was amazing

Peter did such a fantastic job before, on, and after our wedding day! He has such a calm demeanor the whole time which kept me grounded especially in the planning process. He was SO helpful during our rehearsal, especially as our officiant switched last minute. He helped walk our new officiant through exactly what he needed to do. He even made sure all requests from parents went through me which was MUCH needed:) On our actual wedding day, Peter was a jack of all trades and was flexible and creative in fixing problems as they came up- I didn't even realize there was a problem since he was on top of it so quickly! Our day was absolutely perfect and stress free because of the support Peter provided:) I highly recommend him!

Made wedding planning enjoyable!!

My husband and I chose Planned by Peter’s day-of coordination package for our destination wedding at Snowbird Resort. From our first meeting with Peter, we knew that he was going to be intentional with us as a couple, listening to every detail and executing a memorable wedding day. We couldn’t have asked for someone with a more calming and reassuring demeanor throughout the whole process. Peter consistently advocated for us when communicating with our vendor team, allowing us to be confident in our choices and enjoy the wedding planning process! Collaborating with Peter on our big decor items and having his support/experience were the only reason we were able to have the wedding day of our dreams. Peter put in extra time and effort to pick up our seating chart, drop off decor items prior to the wedding day, and coordinate our ceremony rehearsal. Our bridal party and wedding guests were so impressed by his professionalism, as well as how smooth everything flowed, from the beginning of the ceremony to the end of the last dance. I truly could not imagine a better day - I am not exaggerating when I say it went off without a hitch! I would highly recommend involving Planned by Peter in your wedding planning experience. The value of his work is worth every penny :)

Planned by Peter is great!!!

Peter and Emily are truly an incredible team! From the very beginning, after speaking with several planners, Peter immediately stood out with his calm confidence and reassuring presence. Throughout the planning process, everything felt simple, seamless, and so well-organized. Together, Peter and Emily brought our vision to life and made our wedding day exactly what we had hoped for.

Peter’s communication was outstanding, he not only kept us on track but also shared invaluable insights from his experience in the wedding industry. What touched us deeply was how much they genuinely care about their clients. When we lost a family member during the planning process, Peter and Emily sent flowers and a heartfelt message. That kindness meant so much to us.

On the wedding day, Peter’s poise and leadership made everything run effortlessly. Our guests were so impressed, and we felt completely at ease knowing he was in charge. One moment that perfectly captures his attentiveness was right before the ceremony, when I casually mentioned I needed chapstick. Without hesitation, Peter immediately pulled one out and handed it to me, it’s those thoughtful details that truly set him apart.

We are beyond grateful to have had Peter and Emily as part of our wedding journey. They exceeded every expectation and we cannot recommend them highly enough! Thank you!

Best wedding planner around

I could go on and on about how amazing Peter was as my day-of wedding coordinator! From the very beginning, he made sure everything was taken care of so I didn’t have to stress. Anytime I felt even an ounce of worry, Peter was right there reassuring me that everything was running smoothly—and it truly was. His eye for design and attention to detail made the entire day flow beautifully. I’m so grateful I got to work with him, and I would recommend him to absolutely anyone planning a wedding or event. He is simply the best!
