with valerie is a boutique wedding planning company located in Queens, New York founded by NC-native turned fellow New Yorker Valerie Leung. Specializing in Month-of Coordination Plus (MOC+), a slightly extended version of the Month-of Coordination package, she believes in a comprehensive planning process that starts out around 10-11 weeks prior to your wedding date, instead of the commonly seen 4-6 weeks ("month-of") mark. With this extra time on hand for her to step in and oversee every single detail and to tie up all those loose ends as you near the end of your wedding planning, it allows for a more easy-going, yet thorough, coordination approach where her clients can truly breathe and also breathe a huge sigh of relief from the start.
Giving you more than two whole months of coordination coverage, she prides herself in crafting an experience that is authentically you, and one where you efficiently take the time to do so. It's all in the process of creating an unforgettable event for you and your guests, while also making sure any problems that arise are completely controlled and taken care of. After all, it's your own love story to tell-- your event should be both a reflection and celebration of your life, your love, and your happiness, and you want it and the planning prior to it to be as comfortable and stress-free as possible. Do not worry, you are with Valerie!
*** Kindly note that I do not offer full-service planning at this time. If inquiring about my MOC+ package, please reach out to me at least 11 weeks prior to your event date! Otherwise, there might be a high chance of me not being able to accommodate it. Thank you!

What is the starting price for partial wedding planning?
Our experience with Valerie was such a joy from when we had our first consultation to the very end of our wedding reception! She is a dedicated professional, and such a talented person.
After our initial consultation, we met with her two months before our wedding day, which was extremely helpful because of all the components that we needed to put together. This is where we learned about how very organized and detail-oriented she is with every step of the coordinating. She knew exactly which questions to ask and when to ask them. She had a stepwise approach to her planning, asking about each component of the wedding on week-by-week basis, which helped planning not feel so overwhelming. She was patient with us, but also knew when to give a gentle nudge whenever it was needed!
On the day-of, she was there bright and early to start coordinating. Not only did she take on the responsibility of speaking with our vendors and arranging the decorative items, but she also handled the tip money we provided to our vendors. Furthermore, she made sure that everyone (myself, my wife, our bridal party, and our families) were doing great, despite how overwhelming the day seemed. She had such a calm demeanor and was super friendly with all our vendors, hotel staff, and our guests! We had a minor hiccup during our processional with the music, but Valerie made sure to rectify the situation the moment she learned of it. Despite this, we did not care much because of how great the rest of the night turned out.
We cannot say enough about how superb and talented Valerie is at what she does. I would recommend her to family, friends and anyone who is in need of a top-notch wedding coordinator!
Valerie, we love you!!!

Wow, valerie is incredible.
We started working with Valerie in 2021 when we were beginning to plan our May 2023 wedding. Over the course of nearly 2 years of planning, Valerie was our rock every step of the way. She went above and beyond in all aspects and ensured that not a single detail was forgotten. She was super responsive and thoughtful, extremely organized and best of all, incredibly kind. Wedding planning can be a very stressful process - her meticulous process and calm demeanor kept us stress-free as we knew we were in the perfect hands! Our wedding was amazing and was everything we dreamed of and Valerie helped us bring it all to life. We cannot thank her enough for helping us plan and coordinate our wedding to perfection. I would recommend Valerie to anybody and everybody!!!

Valerie is AMAZING!!!
Wow, I don't even know where to start. We had read good things about Valerie before we hired her but she went above and beyond and totally exceeded any expectations we had. Her attention to detail is totally unmatched, she is on top of EVERYTHING! Not to mention, she is the nicest person you may ever meet.
We really cannot thank her enough for everything she did for us at our recent wedding. Not going to lie, we had some difficult vendors to work with and the day of there were a few setup snafus (none due to Valerie) but she did an amazing job at wrangling everything together. We didn't even realize there were any hiccups until we heard about them later because that's how good Valerie is! She kept the show going on and nobody even batted an eye, guests had no idea and we all had an amazing night. She gave us so much peace of mind and provided the sense of calm we needed on the big day. If you are looking for a coordinator, seriously, stop looking right this second and hire Valerie right now! You absolutely will not regret it.
