    Björn is the best in the business

    We love Björn, point-blank. My husband and Björn were already acquainted through their connections in the food world, and we felt so lucky to have his expertise in our wedding. We wanted dark, moody, opulent, and we had a lot of small sentimental touches that we wanted to include throughout the wedding. Björn absolutely nailed it. There were obviously many moving pieces on our wedding day, and his team were pleasantly attentive and kept things going smoothly. And best of all, we now consider Björn to be a dear friend.

    Bjorn is AMAZING!!! I still can't believe how lucky we were to find him. His style was exactly what we needed to help make our day run as smoothly as possible, and he and his assistant Kristen did a fantastic job!! We hired Bjorn as a Day-of-Coordinator (really a Month-of-Coordinator) and honestly, I wish I had just hired him for full wedding planning! He did everything, from speaking to vendors, to delivering day-of items, to helping me deal with my dress, to making sure my husband and I ate something the day of. He also had contingency plans for all sorts of worst case scenarios, which thankfully, we did not need! It gave us both peace of mind to have someone so organized, efficient, and fun working with us, and I can't thank the team enough! Thank you, Bjorn and Kristen!!

    If you do not use Bjorn & company for any type
    Of event then you are out of your mind. As my wedding planner Bjorn took the stress out of everything. He made it fun, exciting, and when it was all over my husband and I didn't want him to go. Next event I have he will sure to be the one planning it. Best of all we have became great friends. We need more wedding planners like you!

    Bjorn and his team were amazing when it came to our big day. We decided very last minute to hire a coordinator and he executed every detail flawlessly even though we only spoke briefly about the evening a few times before the day itself. I felt completely at ease to enjoy myself on our wedding night because I knew that Bjorn could handle anything that came up! HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

    This is a WAY overdue praise of Bjorn's talents and ability as wedding coordinator extraordinaire!! We hired Bjorn as our day of coordinator, after convincing my fiancé at the time, it was something I needed to keep my sanity, and boy was she eating her words of doubt after seeing why I hired him. Bjorn was like hiring my best stylish friend to deliver my vision on the most important day of my life. He totally understood the easy and elegant feel I was going for on my wedding day, from call number one to consult to the very last hour of my reception he took care of everything. And I mean everything, things I did not think of to things I had thought of but not seen the importance of, he produced, went ABOVE and beyond the call of duty just so my wedding could look as important as it felt. Everything flowed seamlessly and this was absolutely all his doing. I had one bridal meltdown when my dress got dirty after the first look, and Bjorn did not miss a beat, he stood there in the hotel room cleaning the train of my dress before the ceremony. We met several times, spoke all along the way and he was with me from start to finish that day. MUCH MUCH more than I was getting from speaking with other DOC's. I had a small untraditional wedding with a lot of parts that Bjorn was able to move along seamlessly, the guests felt comfortable and knew where to go and what to expect bc of this. He had so many ideas and what I could not/did not know how to execute he did himself, from details to flowers, which MADE the reception, it would not have been as beautiful if I did it myself. Most of all he treated us with such kindness, he was so fun, he checked in on us all throughout the party. The day went so fast and I/we are so grateful that he was there or else I'm not sure we would have known when to cut the cake, or make the speeches or any of that bc our minds were completely elsewhere. Bjorn we are so grateful and appreciative of you and you will always be our number one recommendat

    My wife and I are not typical brides. I'm Type A, she could care less about wedding planning. Bjorn struck the right balance between our personalities and we couldn't be happier with the way our wedding day turned out. His vision, his perspective were spot on most time, other times i need to reel him in but only because I can be a bit conservative. His passion for planning, and his attention to detail come through in everything he does. He was super helpful choosing vendors as we had no idea. I couldn't have been happier with hair stylists, makeup artist, florist, DJ, venue, etc...Even at the last minute when our previously selected baker could not accomodate my gluten-free request, Bjorn was able to find someone who delivered a lovely and tasty cake with one months notice. Wonderful experience overall. These reluctant brides would get married again tomorrow if Bjorn was the planner.

    Bjorn is one of those wedding planners where you know he's going to become a hot commodity soon, and you can't believe your luck of getting him early on in his career. His value is a steal. We used him for a Day of Coordinator job and he was great on coordinating all the elements of our wedding, setting up and refilling our candy bar, getting things organized behind the scenes, and dropping off all of our personal items (AND THE LEFTOVER WEDDING CAKE - HELL YES) to our home. He was the boss we needed to know all of our hard planning work would be seen the day of our wedding. We were able to just enjoy the ride that day and it was such a relief!

    I found Bjorn at a wedding showcase + was very impressed by the table he had set up! I called him a few months later+chatted with him on the phone.I ended up signing a contract for a full service wedding planner.The first red flag was when he sent over a contract that he did not proof read. The contract he sent us had copied + pasted parts from a different contract that did not apply to our situation + did not make sense.We figured it was a simple error + let him know.He then sent a new contract that we signed. After about a month of working with Bjorn,my fiancé and I saw things slowly slip through the cracks.He had lots of great suggestions+ ideas but always had an issue following up on them.The contract stated he would give a list of vendors but often he would suggest one vendor (his favorite or whomever was easiest to contact) + expect us to just sign with that vendor.He suggested that his asst. Amanda take pictures during our engagement party.A wk later, he stated he needed to edit them + they would be done by the end of 'next week' which turned into the end of the month, which turned into over a month of waiting for the photos he said he wanted to "edit". After waiting over a month for the photos (+ having to continuously reach out about them),we looked at the photos + saw that he did not edit the pictures but rather just put his company logo at the bottom. He also purchased lots of materials for the engagement party but did not provide receipts. We asked 3x for the receipts + finally he had to reimburse us bc he couldn't find them.We sent him an email asking that he call us next time whenever he is in a quiet place, he said no problem at all! He picked the time for the next call and...he called us on the Subway again. This then created our decision to end our contract,forfeiting our $2,000 deposit.We asked send back the items we purchased for the party that he still had.He sent back the items but more than half of them were shattered.So much more that wont fit

    Worst decision we made

    Byorn lied about his experience, capabilities and couldn't problem solve when we had difficult issues arise. He even forget to order our wedding cake. If you're looking for a planner who pays attention to detail, take your business elsewhere. I wouldn't trust him with a potluck let alone wedding.

    Fraud Alert!!! Don't be Duped

    I hate writing bad reviews about small vendors, but I would hate for any of you to look back on your wedding as sourly as I do thanks to Bjorn. Unfortunately, we're still waiting for the refund he promised us two years ago after he recognized he completely bombed as our wedding planner. Grievances too many to list, I'll provide a few highlights beginning with him losing all the flowers for the flower girls (they went out empty-handed), losing the key to our bridal suite, and leaving us stuck in a hallway during our wedding for 30 minutes, not having anything set or prepared for the ceremony (mics, wine, etc), instructing me and my husband to eat styrofoam and not the actual cake in front of 200 ppl, etc. etc. (FYI apparently the William Vale wedding cake isn’t real - it’s styrofoam and the cake is made in sheets in the back). Little things a wedding coordinator should be on top of, am I right? xx Fay
