Stress-free coordination!

I loved working with Jill and Arielle! They took over all vendor communications and finalizing details 8 weeks out, and I, like Theresa below (to whom I was happy to refer Summer & Co!) was counting down the days. Well before then, they were happy to answer all of my questions about vendor recommendations or how to approach certain planning problems, as wedding planning is a whole complicated world in which I had no experience and they have tons! They were both so lovely to work with and really know what they are doing. The day-of, Jill handled everything flawlessly. Any request was handled quickly and with a smile, and she came with a whole team to help move items from ceremony to cocktail hour to reception, so we did not have to rent unnecessary duplicates. Because our wedding was at a museum open to the public (Dumbarton House), we had a really tight turnaround to get items set up from three different rental companies (I'm picky!) in three different areas, plus the band, caterer, etc. and it came together beautifully under Jill's direction. I had a really specific vision for how I wanted everything set up and laid out, and it was a flawless reproduction. They even set up our "prosecco tower," which was two antique tiered trays that we doubled into a super tall serving station for prosecco glasses. Jill even rounded up items at the end of the night and brought them to my home after our mini-moon. We had an exceptional wedding, and I can't imagine having done it without these ladies.

The ultimate pros for a very reasonable fee

Jill and Arielle took over all of the contracts and communication with vendors about 6-8 weeks out, and I was literally counting the days. They were professional, responsive, great with details and brought a very calming presence, which I deeply appreciated. I had never second guessed my choice to bring Summer & Co into my vendor team, but I confirmed just how great they are when my photographer praised them unprompted and said Jill proactively reached out about the timeline, which apparently isn't always the norm. Jill's hard work ensured that my wedding day was as fun and stress-free as humanly possible, and I hope that everyone can be so lucky to have the chance to work with her and Arielle.

I believe the magic of weddings comes from having the people who love you most in the world in one place, at one time, celebrating.

I began my career at an international communications agency planning and executing corporate events and public relations campaigns for healthcare companies. The wedding bug bit in early 2017 while helping a dear friend plan her private estate wedding. I realized then that I could bring my skills in event planning, and project management to weddings. Summer + Co. Events launched the following year. Helping couples in love experience a beautiful, seamless wedding fills me with joy!
