Wonderful experience!

WOW -- hands down, the best investment we made on our wedding day! Leah and her team set up and took down everything on the big day and made sure everything ran smoothly and seamlessly. I couldn't stop talking about how great she was throughout the day and so many people came up to me to tell me how sweet, professional, and on top of things she was throughout the whole weekend. She kept my glass full the entire night and made sure every detail was perfect. Even during the planning process, she was aways available if I had questions or concerns or just needed to get a thought out. I will recommend the Planning Bee to everyone I know getting married :) Thank you, Leah and Team!!

The Heart of Our Wedding – Tiff from The Planning Bee Made It All Happen

There are truly no words big enough to express how thankful we are for Tiff from The Planning Bee. From day one, she was so much more than a planner — she became our guide, our calm in the chaos, our problem-solver, and truly, a dear friend.

Our wedding day would not have been what it was without her. Tiff's attention to detail, thoughtful organization, and incredible creativity brought our vision to life in ways we never imagined. Even when dealing with a tough venue, she never missed a beat — always offering solutions, smart workarounds, and fresh ideas that made everything come together beautifully.

Tiff was with us through every step, and when the big day finally came, she was a steady, reassuring presence who made sure everything ran flawlessly behind the scenes. We were able to relax and fully enjoy every moment, knowing she had it all under control.

We also have to shout out Ashley, who was such a huge help during our rehearsal and on the wedding day itself. She brought so much calm and care to the process — together, they were the ultimate dream team.

We truly miss them both and will never stop singing their praises. If you're lucky enough to work with Tiff and The Planning Bee, know that you’re in the best hands possible. Hiring her was one of the best decisions we made, and we are forever grateful.

Incredible Planner Who Made Our Dream Wedding a Reality!

Working with Leah at The Planning Beed was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! She was such a wealth of knowledge throughout the entire planning process and her connections in the industry were invaluable. Our monthly meetings were actually enjoyable—Leah ensured we got through all of our topics in just one hour, but always made time for fun too. From start to finish, she was organized, professional, and such a joy to work with. On the day of our wedding, everything was executed so smoothly—we were able to relax and truly enjoy every moment. Our vision came to life so beautifully, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend!

Incredible turnaround timing!

I was recommended to the Planning Bee through a co-worker at the time who recommended them as I was looking for much needed help trying to plan a wedding from start to finish in less than 2 months. I trusted my co-worker as I knew her personally and from the very beginning I knew this would be the right fit just from the way they interacted with my co-worker and how eager they were to help her and me simultaneously.

Saying I was overwhelmed and had no idea where to start is an understatement. I was engaged in February and started planning in March, all while planning on going overseas from half of April until the end of April while planning for a wedding the first weekend in May.

I started working with Ashley, and from day 1 I told her where I was and what I was needing and she got started on everything right away and continued to help me plan, execute and coordinate the wedding of my dreams not only within an incredibly short period of time, but also while planning from overseas with 8 hour time differences while leaving for a honeymoon the next day.

Ashley was able to help me successfully blend and incorporate my mixed traditions and ensure that I had all of my traditional dress changes included. The level of professionalism maintained as well as grace, patience and kindness from Ashley and the ENTIRE team at the Planningbee is outstanding. If you’re on the fence -book them. You won’t regret it and it’s like having a built in sister, therapist and planner all in one. Thank you!!

A Dream Come True with Leah and The Planning Bee

Leah from The Planning Bee was an invaluable asset to our wedding planning process. We wholeheartedly believe she deserves 20 stars, as we cannot express enough praise for her. Leah demonstrated exceptional thoughtfulness, organization, and communication, making the entire planning experience remarkably smooth.

She provided a comprehensive checklist that encompassed every aspect of the wedding, including many thoughtful details we hadn’t considered but were grateful to incorporate. We frequently sought her advice, and she consistently aligned her recommendations with our vision and values, while offering her honest insights. Her impressive organizational skills ensured that everything from vendor arrivals to the ceremony, reception, and clean-up was perfectly planned. This allowed us to focus on enjoying the moments leading up to our big day, rather than worrying about logistics.

Leah’s communication was another standout feature of her service. She responded promptly and was always available via text, phone call, email, or video call. Her ability to address all our concerns ensured that we felt secure and supported throughout the process. Additionally, she facilitated discussions with our vendors, ensuring that everyone was well-prepared and aligned. This proactive approach significantly eased our minds and allowed us to trust that everything was in capable hands.

Leah attended our rehearsal, helping our wedding party feel comfortable with the unique aspects of our day. On the wedding day itself, her calm and positive demeanor kept everything running smoothly. While many say that something will inevitably go wrong on a wedding day, we are confident that did not happen for us, thanks to Leah’s planning. She managed every detail with grace, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy our celebration. Her day-of assistant, Aleesia, was also an irreplaceable addition.

Overall, we are immensely grateful for her expertise. Leah is organized, communicative, and genuinely dedicated to making your day perfect. We highly recommend her and The Planning Bee to anyone seeking an exceptional wedding planner. Thank you, Leah, for helping make our wedding day a dream come true!

We used Planning Bee as our planner for my Daughter's wedding on 9/28/24. Leah was flawless in her planning, care and organization.

Leah communicated with our vendors so well. We couldn't have had a better experience. Leah thought of everything and made sure we had answers from vendors and knew exactly what to expect. We had a flawless wedding experience in every way and we were able to sit back and enjoy the day. Leah is personable, dependable, gracious and able to capture the bride's vision of what she wants. Her timeline planning let the wedding party know what they had to do. Her attention to detail is a great strength. I highly recommend The Planning Bee for wedding event planning!

10/10 Recommend!

Go with The Planning Bee! Leah was incredibly helpful and friendly throughout my entire 1.5 year engagement! She made sure each detail was thought through and well organized. Our monthly meetings helped keep me on track as we checked off each to-do. She sat in on my calls with each vendor while taking notes, and helped talk me through my vision and budget while I made my decisions. She was always available for a call or text with any of my one-off questions or concerns.

The Details (just to name a few!)
-I sent Leah an inspo pic of napkin bows, and the next day she had answers from the venue on when she could pick up our napkins so she could hand fold each one!
-I was also able to rent my gold flatware and chargers through The Planning Bee, which saved me $$ vs going through rental companies.
-She was extremely helpful in my custom invitation process. She attended an in person meeting with the vendor, proof read the wording, and helped seek out cost savings where we could. She drove around to numerous post offices to find the right, non gaudy, non machinable (who knew that was a thing), postage to ensure my acrylic invitation dreams could come to life.

The Day Of:
Leah & Rachel kept everyone and everything on track the day of my wedding, which really allowed me to enjoy my day. We got hit with rain in the middle of our bridal party photos, but with one phone call, Leah had us on arriving at our venue earlier than planned so we could finish our photos there. She made sure each of my requests were executed throughout the day, while staying calm and helping me feel at ease.

I loved my experience with The Planning Bee, and would absolutely choose them again!

Brought our vision to life!

Working with The Planning Bee was so easy! I loved having access to aisleplanner. It helped me to plan and budget and help my planner see my vision. I'm so happy I was able to work with Leah. She was very relatable and super sweet. We had a HUGE group. 22 wedding party members plus a lot of parents and grandparents and she did a great job of rounding us up and keeping us as much on track as possible. We had some unexpected weather, not as many centerpieces and decorations as we thought, but Leah was still able to make our vision come to life despite this! Thank you SO SO much for helping make our day PERFECT!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
