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.

Good experience with WPP!

We worked with WPP for partial planning for our August 2024 wedding. They were all really great and helpful, and I'm entirely confident we wouldn't have been able to pull off our wedding day without them, What I found a little challenging was working with 3 different people (1 person for 5ish months on general planning, another for design elements, and a third for month-of coordinating/day of). During our initial conversation, Shannon made this format very clear so it wasn't a surprise but I found it to be a bit disjointed and like they weren't always in sync with each other. Sometimes I felt they weren't proactive with our planning, and rather waited for us to come to them with questions/ideas/concerns, and then they were quick to help. Overall, we had a very good experience working with the WPP team and they helped us have the wedding of our dreams.
