Hiring Maddie as our day-of coordinator was one of the best decisions we made. From the beginning, she was incredibly responsive and organized, ensuring that every single detail we had envisioned was brought to life perfectly on the day of our wedding. The moment I arrived at the venue on our wedding day, Maddie was right there by my side. Her calming presence is unmatched - nothing ruffles her feathers, no matter what is happening behind the scenes. She kept me feeling grounded and relaxed throughout the entire day, allowing me to actually enjoy every moment. She also surprised me with a beautiful tote filled with all of my favorite treats, a detail that made me feel so special. If you are looking for a planner who is professional, detail-oriented, and a total rock of support, I cannot recommend Maddie enough!

Bettina and her Busy Bee team were on top of every single detail, ensuring a seemingly flawless and truly perfect wedding! My daughter and I had most of the major vendors—venue/food, music, and photographer—secured for her November 2026 wedding, but as the planning progressed, we started to feel overwhelmed and knew we needed help with everything else. Bettina carefully reviewed all of our existing contracts and offered thoughtful suggestions and options whenever needed. She created a vision board that helped us define and refine the look and feel we were going for, while also making sure all of our vendors were on the same page. She was also great at helping us distinguish between “wants” and “needs,” allowing us to stay mindful of our budget and focus our spending on the things that would have the greatest impact. Most importantly, we trusted Bettina completely. We knew that she and her team would handle any hiccups behind the scenes without us even knowing about them—and they did! That peace of mind was absolutely priceless. This became even more apparent when my son got married out of state last month. Their planner seemed great, but there were so many little details that should have been anticipated, and the communication between the planner, vendors, and family wasn’t what it should have been. The result was a stressed bride and a stressed family. We kept saying to each other, “This never would have happened on Bettina’s watch!” Bettina’s ability to anticipate problems, communicate clearly, and stay on top of every detail makes all the difference. She allowed us to actually enjoy the wedding instead of worrying about what might go wrong. I would give Bettina and Busy Bee Events 6 stars if I could!

When Andrew and I first got engaged, I was pretty clueless about where to even begin planning a wedding. There were a few things I knew I wanted, though. Someone who could truly support and guide me through the process, and more importantly, someone who could understand the complexities of my family dynamics with genuine love and care. I also come from a family that isn't exactly a big "wedding family" (lol), so I knew I was going to need a lot of guidance and probably a little hand-holding along the way. To say Gina gave me all of that and more would be the understatement of a lifetime. From booking our venue to being my biggest cheerleader and hype woman on our wedding day, Gina was there for every single moment. Weddings are overwhelming in so many ways, but one of the greatest gifts Gina gave me was the ability to let the emotions be the overwhelming part, and nothing else. As someone who sometimes struggles to speak up for myself, Gina had this incredible ability to understand what I wanted, sometimes before I could even articulate it myself. Gina made me feel very heard. And her entire team was just as wonderful. On our wedding day, they were like the sweetest little ninja mind readers, appearing exactly when we needed them, often before we even realized it. Five stars doesn't even begin to cover it. Truly, it's unrateable!!! Gina, thank you for caring about our wedding as though it were your own, for making space for all the emotions and everything in between, and for giving us the gift of being completely present on one of the most special days of our lives.

We worked with Keith to plan our February wedding at The Palms in Miami, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better partner. He made the whole process feel easy and fun, and he really understood us from the start. He came up with ideas that were so perfectly “us” — like the Bravo-style confessional video booth and the coconuts with our names on them. Those ended up being some of the biggest hits of the night. Since we were planning everything from across the country, having someone we could fully trust meant everything. He handled all the vendor negotiations, and every single vendor he brought in was reliable, on time, and clearly loved working with him. On the actual day, Keith was unbelievably organized. Everything ran smoothly, the flowers were beautiful, and we never had a moment of stress. We’re so grateful we got to work with him.

Working with Ashley Gonzalez Events was truly one of the best decisions we made for our daughter Aliyah’s Sweet 16. I came to Ashley with lots of ideas for an enchanted garden theme, and she had an incredible ability to listen, understand what I was envisioning, and turn those ideas into a cohesive design that evolved into something more beautiful than I could have imagined. I’m very particular about details, and Ashley was endlessly patient with my feedback. She made me feel heard, offered thoughtful guidance, and knew where we could adjust the budget without sacrificing the elements that mattered most. She also handled the logistical side seamlessly—sourcing trusted vendors, coordinating contracts and negotiations, managing communication, and keeping countless moving pieces organized. I have an extremely demanding work schedule and had to spend the entire week before the Sweet 16 in Dallas, returning only the day before. Ashley went above and beyond to tie up loose ends before I left, and I had complete peace of mind knowing everything was in her hands. When we finally walked into the room, I was blown away. Our enchanted garden had come to life—the lush florals, custom linens, elegant tablescapes, personalized dance floor, Aliyah’s beautiful focal area, and so many thoughtful details throughout. Ashley also introduced us to unique activations and experiences I never would have thought of on my own, and they ended up being some of the biggest hits of the night. On the day of the event, Ashley and her team were organized, attentive, and always one step ahead. I was able to simply be present with my daughter and our family while everything around us flowed beautifully. Most importantly, Ashley genuinely cares. She listened, adapted, advocated for our vision, and made the celebration feel deeply personal to Aliyah. If you’re wondering whether hiring a full-service planner is worth it, my answer is absolutely yes—and Ashley is the real deal. She took our ideas, elevated them, and executed them beautifully. I would recommend Ashley Gonzalez Events without hesitation and am already looking forward to the next opportunity we have to work with her. Five stars simply aren’t enough! 💕✨

Rachel and Andrea were the BEST!! They did it all and did it better than I would even invision. They are very affordable and dedicated. They were very responsive and not shy to give their opinions and feedback. The are very organized and will go with you to your vendor meetings. They ask questions I didn't even think of asking. They covered every point and saved me from all the stress. I was the most relaxed bride because they were beside me.

My baby shower was exactly what I wanted. I gave her my baby shower idea and she turned my idea into reality. I would highly recommend her for events!!! Plus, I gave her my budget and she stayed within my budget.

Arlene was absolutely amazing. I couldn't have asked for a better person to help coordinate our wedding. I was so happy with the end results and had no worries on the day of. I was left with nothing but beautiful memories to look back on. Thanks Arlene, your the Best!!!
