Donna Sent on 02/18/2021Vision comes to life
I had a vision for our wedding, a romantic 1920's Mardi Gras held at a grand ballroom attached to a real 1920s mansion for 225 people. Covid forced us to replan many times over. Our result was an intimate but elegant 1920's Mardi Gras soiree for 60 that included a jazz band and vaudeville entertainment since dancing was not allowed due to Covid. Hiring Brilliant Affairs and Denise was the BEST decision we ever made. First, as an older bride with no mother of the bride, Denise followed the entire journey as part of the team on our planning website. She offered suggestions such as locating our florist and unique details such as our' live painter' that painted our first dance. She called vendors, created a fantastic day of schedule, and worked with the venue to ensure every detail was as expected and desired. She stopped by the morning of the wedding to check in and see how I was doing! She was so kind and organized; I really could not have asked for anything more. I highly recommend her to anyone, and we cannot thank her enough for helping us create our dream wedding, or four. She made the weeks leading up to the wedding more fun and less stressful as we waited out changes in Covid rules for our state. Having her there on the "day of" to oversee everything and make sure that all the elements and personal touches were in place made our day so much more enjoyable because we could participate in everything. Words cannot express my gratitude to Denise and Brilliant Affairs. I was fortunate to have had her help. She was always 100% on top of things. The day of the wedding ran so smoothly. Everything, every person, every moment perfect for us. I have already hired her to help with our post-Covid vowel renewal and reception in a year!!!

Michael Sent on 09/11/2019Brilliant Affairs are more than brilliant!
If you are looking for someone to completely take the stress off of your special day, all the large and small details that go into planning a wedding, than look no further than Denise and her crew of Brilliant Affairs. From the moment you meet with Denise, you will rest assured that everything that goes into the planning and coordinating of your wedding day will be handled completely and thoroughly. Advice and details that you didn't even consider come naturally for these folks, and Denise has a list of vendors that she recommends to her bridal clients because she has worked with them before and knows how they operate. You will thank Denise and her crew of Brilliant Affairs, and so will your pocketbook! -

Bria Sent on 06/12/2019Great Coordinator!
Had the pleasure of working with Denise on a wedding I officiated in Cape May New Jersey. She did such an amazing job of making the bride feel comfortable and calm, all the while handling multiple vendors and guests. The entire event went off flawlessly. She maintained a calm, cool, and collected attitude throughout the entire process. Highly recommend. -

Megan Sent on 03/11/2019Best Wedding Planner Ever!
I was a little hesitant about whether or not I wanted to spend the extra money and get a wedding planner since we are a young couple with 3 young children and had a really tight budget but I’m so glad I did! Denise was awesome! She helped us from the very beginning to the very end. A lot of people think it’s not necessary to have a wedding planner that they can do it on their own but Denise was so helpful she really knows the wedding world and has a lot of connections with so many great vendors. She understood we were on a budget and found us all the venders that were perfect for us who fit our style and budget and personalities. She was able to help us narrow down the search and gave us both her professional and personal opinions. She was very knowledgeable and experienced. It was so easy to reach her she always answered her emails or text messages within minutes and she made sure we stayed ahead of our wedding timeline. As busy as I was with 3 kids and my 2 jobs she made planning this wedding so easy for me. She is very organized and very convenient. She came and met with us in our home town since it was easier for us and she went to every vendor meeting we had. Everything went so smoothly the day of the wedding she was the first one at the venue and helped set up all the decorations perfectly for us everything looked even better then I had expected she made sure all the vendors showed up when they were supposed to and made sure they were doing what they were supposed to and her candy buffet at the end of the night was just the perfect ending to our perfect day. I would highly recommend Denise to anyone who is looking for or thinking about having a wedding planner! She really is passionate about her job and she will truly become a good friend along the way. -

I am very grateful to have hired Brilliant Affairs to help with day of wedding coordination. Especially when I was able to have Denise lay out decorations at the venue while I was getting married in the church. Usually the ceremony & reception are at the same location, but the venue I chose was a half hour from the church I got married at. For the most part, I am satisfied.🤗 -
Jennifer Sent on 09/08/2018How do I begin to review Denise and Brilliant Affairs?? To say I would not have had a wedding without her is a start! I am new to NJ and was completely overwhelmed at, not just planning a wedding, but planning a wedding in an area where I am unfamiliar. I really needed someone who has experience and connections. Oh and we wanted to get married in 6 months from the start of the planning. THE BEST WEDDING DECISION I MADE was to hire Denise. Denise is the consummate professional and really listened to us and got to know us well. She was able to take our crazy ideas and quirks and incorporate them into a personal and fun wedding. She guided us all through the planning, finding excellent vendors via her contacts and experience. She talked this bride off the ledge a few times. Very responsive, thorough and kept us on track for tasks and timing. Denise really had everything covered. My wedding day was calm and I was able to focus on the moment and enjoy it, knowing I didn't have to worry about any details. I also have a new friend now in NJ! THANK YOU DENISE!!!

Samantha Sent on 03/04/2018I cannot say enough about how amazing Denise is to work with. The candy bar at my January 13, 2018 wedding was beyond my expectations. I had almost 100 lbs. of candy for the bar. Her selections were unmatched by any other vendor I looked at (I looked at a lot!). The jars, scoops, and bags (with personal labels) were so beautiful and professional. We supplied her with some photos and other decorations and she set up the bar the day of with everything we gave her and she even added her own touches that made it truly beautiful. Denise was so easy to communicate with and responded quickly. I choose to pay for the candy bar a little at a time using PayPal and Denise was sure to send me an email to let me know she received a payment every time! I will update this with a photo or two once I get them from my Photographer (the candy bar looked so good that everyone went up there during dinner and I didn't even get a chance to take a picture before people went for it!). If you are looking for amazing quality, service, design, and price for your candy bar you found it here in Brilliant Affairs!!!

Olga Sent on 09/12/2017Brilliant Affairs was simply that - brilliant. I had hired them as our month-of coordinators and could not imagine having this wedding without them. They were wonderful with coordinating with all of our vendors and setting up a timeline for the big day, as well as managing everything from set-up to break-down the day of. It was such a relief knowing that all of the small details and staff coordination was taken care of, and I could spend all of my time enjoying the day with the people closest to us. Denise, Mia, and Nicole were professional and very attentive - they handled anything that we needed, including printing our vows at the last minute, re-doing a DIY Bar Menu sign the day before, and going back to our hotel room to grab my sandals when my heels got too uncomfortable on the dance floor! It was a joy having them help out with our wedding, and I would really recommend them to anyone looking for month-of or day-of coordinators!
