About

Be the Star of your Wedding!
Not the Director

The big day is quickly approaching and being the savvy bride that you are, you feel confident that you have thoroughly planned every aspect of your wedding. The vendors are booked, your theme and colors have been chosen, and your Pinterest page is filled with a ton of ideas that will wow your guests.

But, like many DIY brides, you’re starting to worry about how your vision will be carried out on your wedding day. Who will be the designated multitasker that will arrange the décor the way you have dreamt about, or make sure the hydrangeas stay out of the sun? Even a master DIY bride can use a little help during crunch time.

At SociaLife, we essentially take the burden off of you and your loved ones by implementing your vision and acting as the buffer between you and your vendors, so you can have peace of mind and enjoy your day. After all, you’re the guest of honor, and who wants to be doing all of the dirty work in that fabulous white dress?

Sit back, relax, and let us deal with the action behind the scenes so you can be the star of the show, not the director.

Best wedding planner out there

Kelly and her SociaLife team were absolutely amazing in planning our wedding. I cannot express how grateful I was to have her. My wedding was one of the many postponed by the pandemic (originally scheduled for June 2020), and Kelly handled the move with such grace and composure, which I can only imagine was a challenging task in the face of many frantic couples and stressed vendors to balance. We had already booked ALL of our vendors when we had to reschedule, but I knew I was in good hands, and the second date went off without a hitch! Kelly is extremely responsive, organized, and struck just the right balance in guiding us through some elements of planning we weren't familiar with and letting us take the lead in other areas. She made endless brilliant suggestions for vendors, decor, etc but never once did we feel pressured by her to go one way or another. Working with Kelly was honestly the BEST part of planning this wedding, and if you're considering hiring her just do - you'll be glad you did. Thank you Kelly!

Amazing planner!

We recently had the absolute pleasure of hiring Kelly as our wedding planner for our wedding at Cedar Lakes Estate this August. Planning a wedding in general is stressful, and tackling a wedding during COVID is something my husband and I never anticipated. Hiring Kelly as our planner was easily the best decision we made! She is incredibly kind, patient, calm, and extremely organized and detail oriented. She always gave us her honest opinion around our decisions and weighed the pros and cons, while allowing us to ultimately choose what felt right for us as a couple. She's super responsive and was always available to us, which we both appreciated as we navigated wedding planning during a pandemic. Throughout our wedding weekend, Kelly made us and our families feel at ease, completely stress free, and like guests at our own wedding. For any couples getting married at Cedar Lakes Estate in particular, Kelly knows this venue inside and out and was incredibly helpful keeping us on track managing all of the moving parts of having a three day wedding weekend. We can't imagine our wedding weekend without her!

Kelly A.K.A. Superwoman!

If 2020 is a roller coaster then Kelly is the seatbelt that has kept us strapped in. My now husband and I postponed our July wedding to September, and without question there is no way we would have been able to make it happen without Kelly. She is calm, organized, detail oriented, a clear and timely communicator, extremely patient, and genuine. Pretty much every detail of our wedding plans changed a few weeks out and Kelly was instrumental in keeping our vendors up to speed and my husband and I on track to make sure everything would go off without a hitch. Planning a wedding is exciting, albeit difficult and overwhelming at times. Planning a wedding in the midst of a global pandemic is a challenge we never could have anticipated and never could have navigated without Kelly. She brought her partner Ryan to assist with all of the weekend-of details and not only was he extremely helpful and courteous, but he and my husband hit it off immediately which just added more positives to our whole experience working with them. From our very first phone call to our (air) hug goodbye the day following our wedding, Kelly was a dream to work with. Hiring Kelly was one of the best decisions we could have made and there’s no need for you to consider working with anyone else!

Kelly is a dream wedding planner!

We’ve been working with Kelly for over a year now on our Summer 2020 wedding. Due to the Coronavirus, we have no idea at this moment what will end up happening with our wedding (postponed, cancelled, etc.), but we felt compelled to write our review now simply because Kelly has exceeded our expectations in every way. She is a true professional - consistently calm, on time, and reliable. She also responds promptly to emails and her email responses are always explanatory and helpful. Most importantly, she has shown time and time again that she truly cares about us and our wedding. In the current coronavirus climate where many things are uncertain, she has provided invaluable emotional support and advice. We could not imagine a better wedding planner than Kelly and could not recommend her highly enough!

The absolute best to work with!

Absolutely could not have pulled this off without Kelly and her team!
When my wife and decided to have our wedding in central NJ at the Chapel at Sandy Hook, we didn’t fully understand all the work that would go into planning a tented wedding. Early on we connected with Kelly at SociaLife and it may have been the best decision we made in the entire process. Not only was the entire SociaLife team professional and well experienced, they were an absolute joy to work with. They helped us with everything from recommending terrific vendors (band, caterers, tent company) to writing in calligraphy all of our guest’s seating arrangement on slight slabs of driftwood (and everything in between). With the wedding being located in central NJ, Kelly’s ability to connect us with local vendors ultimately saved us a lot in the process and really helped capture what makes the area so special.
My wife and I gave Kelly an idea of how we wanted the wedding to feel, but pretty much gave her free reign on aesthetic. We worked together on budget, letting her know things we were ok spending on, and where we wanted to hold back. How she was able to find the most affordable florist with the most amazing flowers is still shocking to me
We were lucky to have them helping us throughout the planning, but where their experience was most impactful was during the actual wedding weekend. Neither my wife nor I could pin point an anxious moment or problem that came up during our big day, and that’s absolutely because of the tremendous job SociaLife did. Everyone that was involved in our wedding was blown away by their ability to bring together so many moving parts, yet make it look effortless in the process. For anyone that is planning their wedding, please reach out to SociaLife, as we would have not enjoyed the day as much as we did without their help.
Since the wedding, almost every guest has genuinely told us it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to - which, can be kind of awkward as most of our friends are married - but, is completely true.

Taylor and Kayleigh are the best!

We hired Taylor for our "day-of" planner for our wedding and she was so much more. She organized all of the information for our vendors and was a liaison between us and the venue. She was in contact with me throughout the entire planning process. Taylor is the most organized, always calm, and does it all with a smile and sense of humor. Couldn't have done it without her and her amazing assistant, Kayleigh.

Best planners ever

I am still in awe by how incredible SociaLife was throughout our year of working together to plan my August 10th wedding. It was by far one of the best decisions my husband and I made.

I am super Type A and wanted to be very involved in the planning process, but quickly realized I needed a ton of support and guidance to keep things moving, keep us on budget, and prioritize and decide on the million things that come up while planning a wedding. I opted for a partial planning package, but got SO much more. Kelly was so invested in making our wedding day special - she was always available, she provided so much guidance and clarity, she was flexible, and she was always calm, collected, and down to earth. Kelly also helped us save money and spend it where it counted, which is crucial once you realize how many moving pieces and costs are involved in a wedding. The entire weekend went perfectly, thanks to Kelly and her partner Angie. If there ever was an issue, they took care of it quickly and calmly.

Wedding planning is inevitably stressful and overwhelming at times, but working with SociaLife was so incredibly helpful. They are such professionals and industry experts, and made planning our wedding fun, comfortable, organized, and as stress-free as possible. We are forever grateful.

Calm, Professional and Competent Planner = Perfect Wedding

We had a great experience with Taylor and her team at SociaLife Event Planning! Taylor assisted us with vender coordination and "Day-Of" services for my daughter's wedding, which went above and beyond what we ever anticipated. She handled the bridal party, 250 guests and a complicated venue in a calm, professional and competent matter which resulted in a dream wedding and an event of a lifetime for our family and friends. It felt great to really enjoy a stress-free celebration with family and friends, especially the bride and groom! So many great memories! Highly recommend! Thanks Taylor!

Partial planning package

Kelly was a 10!! She was super helpful in suggesting vendors, helping us stick to our budget, and keeping us calm during the wedding weekend. We didn’t have to even think about anything our wedding weekend since she had everything already organized and covered.

Highly Recommend!!

We had an incredible experience working with SociaLife. Samantha Falica was our day of coordinator and she was the most instrumental vendor in helping plan our wedding day!
Sam was an absolute pleasure to work with! She was very helpful, personable & extremely professional. Sam was organized, always available and quick to respond. We really felt at ease the weeks and days leading up to the wedding, knowing that Sam was on top of every last detail.
Our wedding day went off without a hitch and it was truly all because of Sam and SociaLife.
We couldn't be happier with our experience -- Sam exceeded our expectations in every way! Our whole family was extremely impressed with Sam and we would highly recommend her for any event! Thank you to Sam and the SociaLife team for an unforgettable night. Book with them today!!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

So attentive to detail and so great for my brides! You want to enjoy your wedding day; not be worried about setting up tables and discussing little things with your venue. Kelly and her team are awesome and so on top of everything.

I have had the pleasure of working with SociaLife on more than one occasion and each time has been such an amazing experience. Kelly is so organized and efficient and really made my job so much easier...she had all the information for the invitations ready and waiting for me....and that is just the invitations. For a bride planning her whole wedding, Kelly is invaluable. I could even tell that the brides that worked with her seemed so much less stressed....I'm sure because they had Kelly taking care of them! I have only had wonderful experiences working with Kelly and SociaLife and I would absolutely recommend her to any bride looking for someone to plan her special day! Kelly combines style and organization and that is something every bride needs!
