The best team ever!!

Shannon and Alissa were absolutely incredible to work with. We hired WWP for day-of coordination, and they made the entire day flow effortlessly thanks to their organization, attention to detail, and calming presence. They handled every detail with such care and confidence that we were able to be fully present and enjoy every moment. We couldn’t have asked for a better team and are so grateful for everything they did to make our wedding absolutely perfect.

Highly Recommend!

We hired WPP & worked closely with Shannon to execute our dream wedding! We had already booked all of our vendors and only selected the package where we received her support the month of our wedding and throughout the day of our wedding. Leah assisted Shannon on our wedding day & together they made our day stress-free! Shannon was responsive, organized, understanding and super sweet! She communicated with all of our vendors for us which was a huge relief. We got married at The Promise Gardens and Shannon helped us navigate their policies with ease while honoring and supporting our dreams for our big day. We highly recommend WPP! 🤍✨

Dream team

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
WPP made my dream wedding the most perfect weekend I could’ve imagined! A huge heartfelt thank you to Eliza, Margette, Alissa, and Bree — each of them brought such warmth, organization, and talent to the planning process. Over 18 months, they worked seamlessly with me to plan a destination wedding from start to finish, helping me find and secure an incredible team of vendors and making sure every detail was thoughtful and personal. The day-of coordination was flawless — I didn’t have to think about a thing. Every single person on the WPP team is so talented, and I truly couldn’t have done it without them!

Worth It!!

We hired WPP for day-of-coordination for our spring wedding at the Canfield Casino. The Canfield Casino is a beautiful venue, but they don't have a real event staff, so I knew I'd need someone who could help set up and direct things on the day. Eventually, we decided that it would be more budget friendly to host the reception at a different venue that had it's own full event staff. I had to decide whether it was worth it to keep WPP's services given that only our ceremony would be at the Canfield. We ended up deciding it was worth it to have the extra hands as you really don't have staff support at the Canfield. We did not want to have our wedding party setting things up like chairs, etc! I'm so glad we did as having Shannon there gave me a lot of peace of mind. Thank you, WPP for coordinating our wedding! (P.S. I'm going to cross-post this review on other sites!)

Every detail taken care of flawlessly!

Shannon, Eliza and their team are the very best in the business, its that simple! Every single detail of our wedding, especially day of, was taken care of so thoughtfully! I know so many people who have been so stressed on their wedding day and happily, that could not have been further from the truth for me! They took care of everything, often without me even realizing, and I was truly able to sit back, relax, and enjoy the day in its entirety. We hired them for "day of" coordination, but they provided us with so much more than that. They made it clear they were always just a phone call or email away and helped with any issue I had, big or small in the planning process. If you're wondering if you need a wedding planner - you do, and it should absolutely be WPP!

Wedding Planning Plus is the best!

Wedding Planning Plus is the best! I had the pleasure of working with them for my wedding this past September, and I don’t know how we could have pulled it off without them. If you are reading this and debating whether or not to hire a wedding planner, I not only recommend getting one, I definitely recommend Wedding Planning Plus.

As we were moving through the planning process, WPP was great at helping us stay on track and definitely had the expertise needed to make sure we didn’t miss anything. Margette was extremely helpful in planning the florals and design of our wedding, and Eliza was there every step of the way to make us feel at ease so we didn’t get too stressed but also pushed us along so that we kept up with everything.

WPP was great for helping to plan the wedding, and they came through even more on the wedding day itself. We felt a little scattered on our day, and Eliza was able to pull everything together and make it really easy for us. We had some unexpected rain on our day, which changed our plans for the ceremony. Eliza was able to reorganize our ceremony and put together something that was as beautiful as we could have hoped for. WPP also was able to set up our table settings just as we had imagined, amongst MANY other things. They really came through and pulled it all together. You will not be disappointed if you decide to work with this team!

Best Decision You Will Ever Make

I had the absolute pleasure of working with WPP for my recent October wedding and it was truly the best decision I could have made. Having gotten engaged NYE 2023 and knowing we wanted to get married the following fall in upstate NY we knew we needed to hire a wedding planner to help us plan our perfect wedding in only 9 months. We booked their partial planning package and it made the planning process so much more enjoyable.

We were so lucky to get to work with so many members of the team in the process. Shannon helped us with our venue search by helping us narrowing down what would work best for us which was so important since we were planning an out of state wedding. Eliza was phenomenal to work with and helped us to find amazing vendors to work with and there to answer all of our questions along the way. Their incredible in house designer, Margette, went above and beyond to bring out vision to life, sometimes interpreting what I wanted before I even knew what it was. She not only tied all of my napkins into bows she also helped me source a special bar for the martini bar so I could have the vintage look I was imagining. We could not have pulled off the most perfect day without the whole team.

The entire team is exceptional and I can not say enough good things about them all. Thank you for making our day truly special and unforgettable.I had the absolute pleasure of working with WPP for my recent October wedding and it was truly the best decision I could have made.

Superb in every way

Shannon and her team at Wedding Planning Plus took care of every detail we could think of—and many more we didn't think of. They were thorough, proactive, and professional throughout the process, which made us feel at ease during a typically stressful time. Everything came together perfectly and we were able to have FUN on our wedding day—what a concept! We can't recommend them highly enough.

The Fantastic Five

To begin with, thank you all so much for making our day so beautiful and spectacular.
We could not pick a better team than Shannon and her squad. Each detail of the wedding was on point and done in a very professional manner.
They are very accommodating to your needs and know exactly what to do. But the main acknowledgement we have to commend them for is surpassing every single hurdle that was thrown at them with ease.
As many weddings have their traditions, our wedding was very special indeed which compromised of keeping the integrity of both our Chinese and Indian cultures which they did eloquently.
We are forever grateful for you making our dreams come true and without a doubt recommend you to any couple looking for the perfect Wedding Planner/ Team!
Sincerely,
Tenneson & Stephanie , May 19th, 2024

We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
