About

Weddings by Regina Marie is a wedding planning service located in Waterbury, Connecticut. Regina, the owner, and lead coordinator launched Weddings by Regina Marie in January 2017 after years of helping to organize and decorate celebrations for her family and friends. The team expanded in January 2018 when wedding planning assistant Elizabeth joined. They believe that a couple's Wedding Team should consist of vendors who not only match their budget but also match their personality & style. Regina has spent years getting to know and building relationships with local vendors so that she can pair couples with the perfect vendors for their teams. Her approach to wedding planning is NOT to make the final decision for you regarding your vendor team, but to match you with 2-3 vendors in each category who are available for your date, fit within your financial comfort zone, and match your personality & the vibe you're trying to accomplish for your wedding. This allows you to choose your vendor while saving time researching. They offer many packages, including Event Management (commonly referred to as Day-of Coordination), Full Service Planning & Design, Virtual Planning, and a "Pick My Brain" Packages that allows you three hours of consultation to go over your wedding plans and get their input, without committing to the full planning experience. You can even pick a la carte services or have the, customize the perfect package for you.

Incredibly helpful!

Regina was an absolute lifesaver! We hired her to help coordinate with vendors and any little details we couldn’t think of. She’s friendly, organized and so helpful! There are so many little details that I never would have thought of without her! She definitely helped make our day run smoothly, was flexible with scheduling and was so easy to work with! We can’t thank her and her team for all of their hard work. Any questions we had, she was able to answer them no problem and suggested so many good ideas for us to work with. I would absolutely recommend having her help you with your big day!

Above and Beyond Day-of- Coordination

We hired Regina as a Coordinator for our wedding in Auguest 2023. We picked Regina because we wanted someone who would understand our causal, laid-back wedding, and she immediately understood our vision. Regina was incredibly helpful, suggesting many trusted and experienced vendors, and answering questions we had about confusing wedding coodination items. Even as being hired as just a coordinator, she had a wide range of resources which really helped us during the planning process (especially the budget tracker!). Once the wedding day started, it felt like she took over and we didn't have to worry about managing all the small details. Her effectiveness was proven in the fact that I'm not even sure how all our vendors were managed during our wedding day, we were just able to enjoy our wedding.

Wonderful experience!

This past October my partner and I worked with Regina for our wedding at Jack’s Barn in Oxford, NJ, and had such a positive experience! Regina is kind, warm, and patient, and so easy to collaborate with. Being that we planned our wedding ourselves, Regina was hired as our ‘Day of Coordinator’ to get us over the finish line and be there day of to ensure all went smoothly, and that it did! Her assistant, Charles, was awesome, as well! Amidst a very busy wedding season, throughout the process from initial consultation through our wedding day, the communication, guidance, and planning materials that were provided were clear and very helpful. Our wedding day was easily a success due to having Regina be a part of our overall planning and execution! We felt very well taken care of. We so appreciated working with her, and would recommend the same to others. Thank you, Regina!

You need a Day Of Coorinator like we did!

We hired Weddings by Regina Marie for Day Of Coordination services and I can honestly say that's the main reason our wedding went so smoothly!

First off, Regina is a star and a wonderful person to work with. For someone we hired specifically for Day Of Coordination I strongly feel she went well above and beyond the rates she charges! She was with us the entire way through our wedding planning process. We were always able to reach out to discuss ideas with her or get vender recommendations months before even our wedding day. There was not a thing she didn't do to help us stay organized either. She uses plenty of online tools and task trackers to make sure we stayed the course even though we were doing most of the planning ourselves.

The day of our wedding, everything went perfectly which we attribute mainly to Regina and her assistant, Charles I believe. Regina and her team kept everything on track, made sure we were taken care of, and helped with breakdown/collection after the event was over. Working with Regina has made me a believer that most people NEED at least a day of coordinator to help them through the process. We wanted to have a stress-free wedding and having Regina on our team made that possible.

Regina is exceptional!

Working with Regina was hands down the best decision we made when planning our wedding!!! We booked her for a partial planning package and couldn’t be more grateful to have had the chance to work with her. She was incredible throughout the planning stages and truly magical at putting our vision into life to on our actual wedding day.

During the planning phase, she provided excellent recommendations for vendors that all turned out amazing, constantly answered our questions and the questions we didn’t know we needed to ask (sharing her wisdom and expertise about weddings in general but also the local CT industry standards and options), communicated with vendors, came up with ideas to help us make the less conventional aspects of our vision a reality, guided us through so many decisions, and generally had really on-point taste and suggestions when doing so. She also did a great job of understanding our vision and preferences and also vibe/working style, and matching them. As a result, she was relaxed and respectful and professional and so fun to work with.

On the actual wedding day, we couldn’t BELIEVE how amazing of a job she and her assistant Charles did of organizing all of the venue staff and vendors, getting everything set up and where it needed to go, communicating with all relevant parties, answering questions and addressing issues that came up, and just generally making everything run truly seamlessly. Everything literally went perfectly all day, despite the fact that we had a LOT going on (our wedding was more on the DIY side of things, with many moving parts and different parties involved to coordinate), and we were so grateful to be completely un-involved in managing any of the logistics—we got to just enjoy our wedding day without worrying about anything and it was truly a dream to see our vision come to life so perfectly and magically, all thanks to Regina. We will forever be so grateful to her and could not recommend her more strongly!!!!

Best Day Ever

Regina and her team truly made our wedding day the best day of our lives. She knew exactly how much and how little to push us in the planning process and took care of every detail so that we could just enjoy our day. Any couple getting married would benefit from her kindness, organizational skills and gift of execution.

The Best Thing We Did For Our Wedding!

Regina was the best possible thing we could have done for our wedding. My husband and I had a small, COVID ceremony in my dad's back yard in 2020 and found that even with only 12 guests, my mom and stepmom were running around like crazy people trying to get every thing taken care of. We decided we needed to hire a coordinator and found Regina through our photographer, Cate Barry. Regina was a godsend. She started helping us plan our backyard wedding well before she was contracted to start and she never seemed overwhelmed (even though we were). I heard from many guests after the wedding that it was a great combination of elegance and backyard casual fun, which was all Regina. I cannot recommend her and her staff enough. Hire this woman!

The perfect summer wedding

Regina and her staff helped us to create the perfect summer wedding at our farmhouse. Right from the beginning Regina was on top of the many details that we did not even think about when planning a wedding. She reached out to our vendors, created a timeline, and helped us with so many small and big items including creating a seating plan for sunshine and rain, parking plans, and doing a full dry run. She and her team worked so hard the day before the wedding helping us set up and throughout the wedding day. Regina is genuine and felt like part of the family by the end of the day and my family loved her as well. I would highly recommend Regina to create a magical day.

Helped plan the wedding of my dreams!

Regina and her team are amazing! Regina was the first wedding vendor I chose, and I sure lucked out!! I was planning a wedding at my home and I knew there would be many moving parts and I was overwhelmed. She jumped right in and recommended some really great vendors she had worked with and trusts for us to choose from. Aside from vendors she also helped with brainstorming and making sure we completed tasks timely. With her team attending so many weddings I fully trusted her insight. My wedding day was my most perfect dream wedding!! The day of she made sure everything ran smoothly and was so helpful, calming and kind. I believe Regina was my most important wedding vendor because she truly made everything come together. I would recommend Regina and her awesome team to anyone!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
