Dream Wedding

Virginia Perry (VP) helped me plan a wedding that was even better than what I ever dreamed. From budgeting, to timeline, vendor recommendations, decorations and flowers - Virginia helped with so much and was more than worth what she charged. Here's why you should hire her:

1. Vendor recommendations. Virginia has been in the business a long time and has developed a network of other vendor relationships who offer strong services/products, but WON'T cost an arm and a leg to hire. And trust me, it was a much better experience than back when I tried to shop around on my own. If Virginia recommends them, you know you are getting good quality and value for money.

2. Detail-oriented and trustworthy. Planning a wedding is THOUSANDS of little details and decisions, which over time leads to an exhausting mental load and a very tired bride and groom. Virginia guides you through this process and gets you to start making decisions early, so that you can enjoy the day without thinking about all the small things. I was able to relax on my wedding day, because I knew she had it handled.

3. Vision and execution. Virginia turned a PowerPoint presentation of the wedding I wanted into a reality, getting me the exact welcome sign I wanted, arranging the most beautiful flowers, and helping me pick colors that wouldn't clash with each other. She will take the pictures you give her and run with it.

Lastly, the week up until my wedding was a total race to the finish line, with last minute errands and a potential change in weather. She checked in on me, called me, and talked me out of bad decisions when I wanted to change up my whole approach. She was a voice of REASON. Trust me, everybody in your wedding party is going to have an opinion on how you do your wedding and there will be a lot of little squabbles with family. Her opinion is objective, and it's the only one that really matters - second to your own and your beloved. Let her help you, you won't regret it.

In terms of price, she's very reasonable. Additionally, she has a range of packages - even for brides that think you can't afford a wedding planner. If you don't take away anything else from this post, remember that DIY does NOT mean cheaper. You will spend more time and money looking around for vendors, than leveraging the great ones she already has. Her vendor recommendations got me great deals, and saved thousands of dollars compared to the competitors I was looking at. Just give her a call, and feel your wedding planning stressors melt away.

Virginia was fantastic.

Virginia was fantastic, we had a charity event and brought in Virginia who made it look easy. It was a lovely event with a great vibe. We raised more money than we thought we would and we were able to enjoy ourselves while doing it.

Recommendation of Virginia Perry at VP Consulting for your Wedding Planner

My wife and I put ourselves in good hands with Virginia to serve as our daughter’s wedding planner. She executed to perfection her wedding in Oct 2023. Virginia demonstrated from the first time we met that she had the experience, ideas, knowledge and personal touch on all the elements to carry out the wedding. Virginia did it superbly for our daughter on all levels. Specifically, she coordinated all the many aspects such as caterer, music, supplies, dining service, desserts, flowers, etc, that go into the planning along with developing a detailed master schedule. Virginia set up meeting with vendors that included caterer, company to provide dining service, photographer, the wedding venue property manager, etc., that ensured everyone knew exactly their place to carry out their role at the wedding. Virginia masterfully covered the wedding procession at rehearsal dinner with a large wedding party consisting of family, bridesmaids and groomsmen. She pointed out exactly how all were to line up, proceed down the aisle and flank the wedding couple and made it so enjoyable with her wonderful sense of humor that really lightened up the atmosphere for all. Lastly, Virginia and her staff did an outstanding job to see that everything went smoothly on the wedding day from flower arrangements being set up, overall layout forall the tables, guests seating charts, and so much more. She did this from the moment she arrived with her staff till the end of the evening that insured a flawless fun and fabulous wedding celebration. She is the total package…professional, personal, competent, confident and we so appreciated all she did to make our daughter’s wedding day so special. We highly recommend Virginia for anyone looking to have a wedding planner provide the guidance and direction and make the process clear to understand and enjoyable!

Virginia was a Lifesaver

Virginia was an invaluable wedding planner from start to finish. From providing great vendor recommendations to coordinating seamlessly with our venue to fixing a transportation issue in seconds on our wedding day, she did it all and saved us so much time and stress in the process. She also provided helpful style tips along the way, including letting us borrow décor so we wouldn’t have to buy it elsewhere. We cannot recommend Virginia highly enough!

VP Consultant far surpassed our expectations.

Virginia and VP Consulting absolutely surpassed our expectations for a full-service wedding planner. When I met Virginia we were in serious need to find someone who could support our vision on short notice. We had three months to plan our wedding! Virginia and her team took us by the hand, spent countless hours with us on the phone and in-person, and facilitated an incredible ceremony that all of our loved ones are still talking about!

Our wedding was a destination wedding and Virginia did her due diligence to vet the site and each of the vendors. The wedding venue was more than we could've dreamed. Virginia's attention to detail is immaculate. Every i was dotted and t crossed and nothing was omitted from the experience. I don't know how anyone survives their wedding without a wedding planner! Virginia always made us feel at ease and confident about the entire experience. We thank God for her gift!

Virginia Perry saved our wedding!

We started planning our (complicated, three-day, Jewish/Hindu) June wedding in February, already feeling like we were short on time. We had hired a different planner back in February and paid a hefty deposit on a venue in March. That first planner turned out to be so unresponsive and unhelpful that we found ourselves doing all the work. By mid-April we were so frustrated that we wanted out, and our photographer told us about Virginia. After talking to her once, we hired her, not knowing what was still in store for us.

The manager of our venue, after being incredibly difficult and unpredictable throughout the process, became truly unhinged and eventually refused to work with Virginia or us at all. To make a LONG and painful story short, we found ourselves without a venue with 6 WEEKS to go until our wedding date, with guests scheduled to arrive from around the world! Virginia talked us off the panic ledge, reassured us that we would eventually get our money back from the venue, and guided us through the process of finding an alternative.

A mere three days before the wedding, the company that was to rent us the china, glassware, flatware and some kitchen equipment told us they had no delivery trucks left. Virginia just HANDLED it. She rented a U-Haul, picked it all up and drove it out to the venue.

There were many points throughout our process where we felt like the wedding simply wouldn’t happen, and yet when it came down to the day there was Virginia running around like the energizer bunny taking care of things, and voila: everything we had planned and hoped for actually HAPPENED! Virginia has experience and contacts and most important, she maintains an indefatigable cheerfulness and is never defeated. She assured us that we WOULD get married and that every problem had a solution. She helped us avoid problems in advance and set us up for success so that in the end we had the right venue and the right stuff and the right plan.

We have so many wonderful memories now from our meaningful, personal, beautiful wedding that simply wouldn’t have happened at all without her :)

Amazing from start to change to finish

Virginia is a fantastic and professional person that I totally trusted would do an amazing job for our wedding day. She was thrown for a big look when we decided to completely change our wedding venue and date due to Covid, and she stuck by us, giving us a wedding we didn't even believe was possible, she was our wedding angel. Our guests still are telling us how amazing it was! She is thorough, detailed, with a positive attitude and exceptional eye for detail.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Very Professional and Highly Recommended.

Historic Rockland Historic Rockland Mansion Weddings

VP Consulting, i.e, Virginia Perry was the coordinator at a recent wedding that had many last minute challenges. She totally rolled with the punches and worked extremely hard to make the wedding the huge and beautiful success that it was - despite those challenges! She was at every meeting, put in much more time than other coordinators I have had here, and was friendly, on top of all details and utterly professional throughout. I was extremely happy with her help as I believe the bride and groom also were. Since then I have recommended her to many of my couples as I would be thrilled to work with her again.

A wedding photographer's best friend! Thank you Virginia for being there for everyone involved in the wedding at Shadow Creek. I appreciated your professional courtesy towards me and also keeping me updated on events as they unfolded during the course of the day. Not all wedding planners/coordinators are skilled at doing this as smoothly as you with a smile. Grabbing the couple and me for that "golden hour" sunset photo was right on point! I look forwad to another oppurtunity to work with you and would highly recommend your services to any wedding couple. Thanks again!
