THE BEST!! We recently had the pleasure to work with Julie for our July 2024 wedding in Boston and I have to say it was one of the best decisions we could have made. We hired Julie about 7 months out from our wedding and she provided us with Partial Planning and Design services and was absolutely amazing to work with! From our first initial meetings, I was not only impressed at how knowledgeable and organized Julie is, but also how invested in her couples she gets- she truly wants the best for them and she makes your feel like you are her only couple, which is not easy to do! Julie's wide network of vendors helped us put together an incredible team and she suggested vendor services that we didn't know existed that helped make our day so magical. When it came to design, Julie was able to take our random thoughts and create the exact vision that we were going for. As we were getting closer to the wedding, I found myself feeling so lucky that we had Julie on our side. She is proactive in her approach, and sets deadlines for decision making which made us feel at ease. She was able to be our calm center when things got crazy and answered any of our questions, no matter how trivial they were. Julie is not only a top professional, but she is a genuine and caring person and I miss our zoom calls and getting to chat all the time already! If you are getting married and considering a wedding planner, hiring Julie will be the best decision you can make.

We cannot recommend Julie/Something Bleu Weddings enough! We did the Event Management Package for our Labor Day 2024 wedding in Duxbury, MA. From 3 months out, Julie was a huge help in finalizing all of our logistics and coordinating our vendors so that everything went off without a hitch. In particular, we were worried about the logistics of our transportation as we were working across several locations about 15 minutes apart and Julie helped alleviate any concerns by being so organizing and getting the timeline down to a T! Everything ran so smoothly the day of and our parents and wedding party were very complimentary of Julie’s support. Something Bleu was always professional and highly responsive in communications with us and our vendors. Julie and her assistant Tina also made the decor we picked out look amazing and totally executed the vision we were going for!

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Julie of Something Bleu Weddings for our September wedding at the Fairmont Copley in Boston, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! From the very first meeting, Julie’s attention to detail and calming demeaner stood out. She took the time to truly understand our vision and helped bring it to life in a way that exceeded all expectations.
Julie’s calming approach was invaluable throughout the planning process. As anyone who has planned a wedding knows, it can get stressful at times, but Julie was always there with a reassuring smile and practical solutions (including some homework assignments for us between meetings) to ensure we were staying on track throughout the planning process. She kept what would have been an overwhelming experience for young professionals light and fun while checking off the relevant action items during the planning process.

Another thing that really impressed us was her extensive network of vendors. Thanks to Julie’s recommendations and coordination, we worked with top-notch professionals who understood our style and needs and Julie coordinated all interactions with these vendors to ensure the wedding day went perfectly.

On the wedding day itself, Julie was a calm, efficient force behind the scenes, ensuring that everything went smoothly. She handled all the logistics so we (and our parents) could focus on enjoying the most important day of our lives. Thanks to her, our wedding was flawless, and we couldn't be more grateful for all her hard work and dedication.

We wholeheartedly recommend Julie and Something Bleu to any couple looking for a seamless, beautiful, and stress-free wedding experience!

I would like to thank my amazing wedding planner, Julie Riley, @somethingbleuweddings. Julie was professional and incredibly flexible with my time schedule which helped since I lived overseas. I have never planned a wedding before or helped in planning a wedding so I was not sure what to expect. She created a timeline as well as set an expectation of when everything needed to be executed, e.g. when the save the date should be sent, invitations sent, menus set, everything. Julie designed the seating plan, the ceremony as well as a back-up plan in case it rained, which it did. She was incredibly creative and made me feel confident with my choices. I can't really say enough how much attention to detail Julie gave, down to the timeline of events on the day of the wedding. She made sure that I was comfortable and taken care of on the day of the wedding, as well as my guests. Thank you, Julie! I strongly recommend her.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Julie Riley from Something Bleu Weddings for our wedding, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. Julie provided us with partial planning services, and her incredible organization and accessibility were evident from the start. Julie was always easy to reach and responsive to all our questions and concerns. She truly helped ease my anxieties in the lead-up to the wedding, providing support and guidance every step of the way. Her meticulous attention to detail was particularly evident on the wedding day. Despite a few hiccups, like missing items for the groomsmen, Julie kept everything organized and calm, ensuring the day went smoothly. One of the standout aspects of working with Julie was how she walked us through everything we did and didn’t need for our wedding. Her expertise helped us focus on what truly mattered, saving us time and stress. Our guests were in awe of the beautiful layout and décor, all thanks to Julie's keen eye for detail. On the wedding day, Julie's coordination was flawless. She kept us on schedule and maintained excellent communication with all our other vendors, making sure everything was executed perfectly. Her efforts allowed us to fully enjoy our special day without worrying about the logistics. Julie Riley and Something Bleu Weddings made our wedding day perfect and stress-free. We are incredibly grateful for her dedication, professionalism, and exceptional service. We highly recommend Julie to anyone looking for a wedding planner who can turn their vision into reality with grace and precision. If there is one thing I can recommend for your wedding, hire Julie!!!!! Thank you, Julie, for making our wedding day unforgettable! We are truly grateful for all that you did for us.

We were pleased with the help that Julie provided to us throughout the wedding planning process. In the beginning, we purchased an event management-type package to assist with planning as we live far away and needed the assistance. We are definitely glad to have done that, not sure what we would have done if we hadn't hired a planner. She made sure our vision came to life and we didn't worry at all that she was helping to get everything set up while our ceremony was happening. Was great at giving us niche/industry-specific answers about the process. Our only regret was not budgeting more for a larger package.

Julie is amazing! She made wedding planning a stress-free experience for us. She is so organized, so knowledgeable, so nice and just a lovely person all around. She had great vendor recommendations and managed every little detail flawlessly. Can't recommend her enough! We had a lot of moving pieces and she kept a cool head, even during stressful moments on our day of. She is a total pro!

Julie was absolutely outstanding to work with! We hired Julie for Design & Coordination services over the ~10 months leading up to our wedding and truly can’t say enough wonderful things about our experience!

Julie is exceptionally professional and organized — she kept us informed of key milestones with our venue and vendor teams to ensure we stayed on track, despite our very crazy work schedules, and was always prompt and responsive, even about the tiniest of questions (and we had many!!).

Moreover, Julie leverages a robust network across the wedding industry and was always armed with a short-list of trusted recommendations for any service or item we wanted to consider, from florals, to invitations/paper goods, signage, specialty lighting, miscellaneous decor, etc. Julie also helped us prioritize the best ways to achieve design “impact” without overextending our budget, including brainstorming a number of creative and bespoke details to layer personal, unexpected touches into our overall design. She quickly understood our style and vision and helped us communicate effectively with our vendors to ensure this vision came together cohesively.

In the final weeks leading up to our wedding, Julie was truly the calming force we needed. She was proactive and transparent to address any information that might have differed from our expectations: e.g., when we ran into a few miscommunications as a result of turnover within one of our vendor teams (completely out of our control), Julie was a strong and effective advocate and resolved several of our concerns within a few short hours.

On the day of our wedding, Julie and the Something Bleu team (thank you Daniella and Rachael!) ensured every detail was in place and every transition was seamless so we could enjoy each moment without any stress. We cannot thank Julie enough and highly recommend Something Bleu to any couple looking for A+ support in their wedding planning process!

Julie did a fantastic job planning our wedding from start to finish! She has a great network of vendors and helped us choose the ones that were a good fit for us personally while staying within our budget.

After we looked at a few venues together and weren’t quite sold on them, Julie suggested what ended up being the place we chose, and we could not have been happier. The staff went above and beyond and our guests raved about how every detail was done so well. Julie was the driving force behind those details.

Julie kept in touch with us by scheduling regular meetings leading up to our wedding day, making sure we were on track with everything from picking our vendors, to ordering dresses and suits, to sending our invitations. We felt like we were her only clients at times with how responsive she was over email.

On the day of our wedding, she made sure everything went smoothly and everyone was happy. If there was anything unexpected that happened, she and her team handled it seamlessly.

Julie truly made our wedding day one that we will always look back on as the perfect day and we would not have been able to say that without her thoughtfulness, attention to detail, and industry knowledge. She really cared that our day was special and it showed in her work.

If you are getting married, you need Julie. Not just a wedding planner - you need JULIE.

When my husband and I got engaged, we knew we wanted to have our wedding in our hometown, at my parents' house - but that was about it. I began to try to plan on my own, but working full time and finishing my master's degree was already more than I knew how to budget time for. We interviewed a few different wedding planners, and Julie immediately stuck out to us - her warm demeanor, professional attitude, and clear organization/plan for how to plan out our wedding was a relief, and when we got off the Zoom call, my parents and my fiancé and I all knew that we needed her on our team.

Julie is incredibly responsive, asks all the right questions, and truly let us design our own wedding. She led us through the process with clear deadlines for decision-making, and when we needed suggestions she carefully steered us in the right direction with vendors she'd successfully worked with previously. Julie photographed everything each step of the way, ensuring that all our choices were documented and ordered perfectly.

Julie made design mood boards for us, and when I inevitably changed my mind of some of the decisions, she made it seem easy to make all those changes across ALL her documentation and inspiration photos. Not only did we feel extremely well-prepared with Julie, it felt like our wedding was the only one she was planning at the time - something that takes talent, dedication, and organization to stay so on top of every detail.

The final few weeks before our wedding, Julie made our lives so much easier by crafting a schedule for the day of, letting us know when our vendors would arrive to set everything up, and even sending us photos of things arriving! We felt incredibly lucky to have someone as experienced, professional, and lovely as Julie on our team - our wedding was absolutely the best day of our lives, and we can truly attribute that to Julie's hard work. Everything turned out more beautiful and perfect than I could have imagined, and even some light rain showers on the day couldn't keep people from celebrating - Julie and her assistants were literally on their hands and knees wiping down the dance from to make sure everyone could safely dance the night away!

I couldn't recommend working with Julie any more strongly, and honestly, I already miss our Zoom meetings! She is not only a true professional, but she is a kind, warm person, and someone you will enjoy spending time with. If you do one thing for yourself, get Julie on your team for your day - it was the best decision we made for our wedding!
