Five stars will never be enough for the Chevie Girls. I genuinely don’t know how to put into words just how extraordinary these women are. From our very first interaction to the final moments of our wedding weekend, they were nothing short of exceptional. They are intelligent, creative, intuitive, organized, diplomatic, endlessly patient, and the calmest people in every room while simultaneously being the most enthusiastic. They are truly in a league of their own. Their talent goes so far beyond planning a beautiful wedding. They have the ability to anticipate what needs to happen before anyone even realizes it needs to be done. Every detail was considered, every moving part was accounted for, and every situation was handled with such grace and composure that we never once felt the weight of what was happening behind the scenes.  Specifically, my decorator turned out to be a nightmare hire and the girls handled the situation in the most brilliant way.  They were firm and made sure this vendor completed their job. Our wedding was a FULL weekend of celebrations, with multiple events, Indian/Filipino traditions, vendors, and countless details to coordinate.  Whether they were coordinating vendors, making adjustments, cleaning up, attending to our guests, or quietly taking care of a hundred little things we probably never even knew about, they did it all with genuine smiles on their faces.  I hope every couple could experience what it feels like to have these women in their corner. They deserve every bit of recognition, and every success that comes their way. Thank you a millllion to these wonderful ladies!!!

Shawn charged us half the price of other wedding planners we were looking at a year before our wedding, but more importantly she was understanding that we weren't sure what we wanted everything to look like at the beginning stages. She was extremely organized and flexible in planning, as she was able to fit in items we decided later on were a must-have. When it came to the wedding day, everything moved like clockwork because she was making sure nothing ran too long without any sense of being rushed. She knows lots of quality local venders that are more affordable than what we would have found on our own, helping us save money and stay firmly within our budget. Shawn was always very professional during planning sessions, and I would recommend her services to other friends getting married in the Ithaca area.

My husband and I hired Faro and his team to help us plan our wedding in under 6 months due to having to cancel our destination wedding and move it to NYC. C & L’s team made sure we put our covid-wedding blues behind us and got to work right away. They helped us find all the perfect vendors, designed the whole event, and ensured all would go according to plan. We rented an empty loft space in Greenpoint with great bones but needed a lot of TLC to come to life. Faro and his team transformed the industrial factory into a magical haven for wedding bliss. We have not stopped getting phone calls, texts and and emails from friends and family raving about our wedding - from layout, to decor, to florals, to food and everything in between. If you are looking for a wedding team that takes pride in their work and in knowing you can sit back and enjoy your event, We highly recommend C & L for any of your upcoming events!

I truly could not recommend Wedding Planning Plus more! Working with Shannon and the WPP team was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, and it resulted in the weekend of our absolute dreams. From our first introductory call, we knew WPP was the perfect match to bring our vision to life. My husband and I both work in events and came in with a lot of ideas- some simple and straightforward, and some ambitious, a little whacky, and involving a lot of different elements, tons of live music, and surprises for our guests and for each other. Shannon and the WPP team were right there with us. They embraced our ideas rather than steering us towards something that may have been simpler or more traditional, and then executed them seamlessly while enhancing them every step of the way. And when we weren't sure what we wanted or we needed some guidance, Shannon and her team were just as incredible at helping us figure it out. Margette, WPP's incredible in-house designer, took everything we envisioned and brought it to life and then some! Every single part of the weekend, which included 3 days and twice as many events, was beautiful, thoughtful, cohesive, and felt so uniquely us. Our families and wedding party all told us afterward how amazing, organized, and helpful Shannon and her team were throughout the entire weekend. We TRULY felt like guests at our own wedding, and got to enjoy every moment of what we had been planning without ever thinking about timelines, checklists or next steps. Shannon and Wedding Planning Plus didn't just help us plan a great wedding, they helped us create the exact wedding weekend we dreamed about, and made the entire process along the way easier and actually fun. We are endlessly grateful to Shannon, Margette, Leah, Eliza, and the entire WPP team!

James made the wedding process feel easy - we checked in every few weeks for 15 min or so and James would help keep us on track with planning and activities. He helped find vendors and helped us identify unique elements for the wedding. We had an incredibly smooth planning process and the day-of was perfect and so stress-free - James coordinated lots behind the scenes without us even knowing. Highly recommend!

Sonal and her team were incredible to work with. From the first call, I picked up how attentive she was and how organized the whole experience would be. She brings over 2 decades worth of experience curating luxury, yet personalized weddings for clients. What was the most important to me and my husband was to enjoy the weekend as if we are guests at our own wedding and not having to worry about any of the little details the day of. Not only did her team spend every week with us planning and coordinating with vendors, but they also took away any last minute stress or coordination off our plate, so we were able to enjoy the best day of our lives and truly live in the moment. It's usually unheard of that a bride and groom is able to eat at their own wedding, but we got to sample every meal across each of our events and they brought out our drinks in a schedule so we didn't have to run to the bar. The two days were impeccable, from the event flow, the guest experience, the schedules, logistics, and more. I highly recommend the SJS team for wedding planning and coordination if you want a stress-free and seamless wedding experience.

This review is long overdue, but I couldn’t let any more time pass without sharing how amazing Lauren was as our wedding planner! We truly couldn’t have asked for a better person to help us bring our dream wedding at Arrow Park to life. From the very beginning, Lauren was so personable, sweet, organized, and on top of every single detail. She made the entire planning process so much easier and less stressful, always making sure everything was taken care of and nothing fell through the cracks. She went above and beyond to help with our DIY projects and was always willing to lend a hand wherever she was needed. What meant the most to us was that she showed up on our wedding day at Arrow Park even when she wasn’t feeling well, which speaks volumes about how dedicated and caring she is. She made sure everything was organized, ran smoothly, and came together exactly how I had envisioned. Lauren genuinely cares about her couples and puts so much heart into what she does. We are so grateful to have had her by our side throughout the planning process and on our special day. If you’re looking for a wedding planner who is reliable, detail-oriented, personable, and truly invested in making your wedding day everything you dreamed of, Lauren is your girl! We can’t recommend her enough! ❤️

I worked with Michelle at Intuition Events for my Wedding at Saratoga National and she truly was one of my favorite vendors to work with. She was so flexible when it came to setting up a few calls for us to discussion vision and then she took everything I said and ran with it! Working with Michelle was a fresh of breath air as she not only was so knowledgable but she was so relaxed and easy to talk to I immediately trusted her. She delivered our flowers and set up our ceremony space the day of and brought my vision to life. I cannot recommend her enough.

I first met Cynthia at my friend’s wedding, where I was the maid of honor and got to see firsthand how she and her team worked. I was really impressed by how organized she was, how she handled stressful situations, and how calm she stayed even when things didn’t go as planned. After seeing her in action, I knew I wanted to hire her for my own wedding! About a year later, I hired Cynthia as my month-of coordinator, and she did an amazing job! She handled all the unexpected things that came up and made sure everything ran smoothly. She made the day so much easier for me and my wedding party, and I didn’t have to worry about all the little details. I’m so glad I chose her and would definitely recommend Cynthia to anyone looking for a wedding coordinator!

We truly could not have done it without Debra. She came on board just a few months before our wedding and somehow managed to take everything we had been working toward and bring it all together seamlessly. From day one, she was incredibly responsive, organized, proactive, and always one step ahead. We knew we could count on her for absolutely anything. What made Debra especially wonderful was how genuinely invested she was in us and in making sure our wedding was everything we wanted it to be. She wasn't afraid to stand up for us, advocate on our behalf, and make sure our wishes were heard. Having someone so firmly in our corner throughout the process made an enormous difference and gave us a level of comfort and confidence that we simply cannot put into words. Her day-of team was equally incredible. Every single person was attentive, professional, warm, and on top of every detail. We felt completely taken care of from beginning to end, and were able to actually be present and enjoy our wedding knowing everything was in such capable hands. Above all, Debra made us feel like she truly knew us, cared about us, and wanted this day to be as special as we did. We are so grateful to her and her entire team and cannot recommend her highly enough. If you are lucky enough to work with Debra and her staff, you are in the very best hands!
