Jennifer M. Sent on 07/21/2020Brilliant Event Planning Makes Dreams Come True!
I don’t even know how to find the words to express my gratitude, admiration and love for all things Brilliant Event Planning. Before I ramble about how amazing Sarah and the team were, I will get to the point in case you don’t have time to read this whole review – hiring Brilliant Event Planning is THE BEST decision you will make about your wedding – other than saying “Yes!” of course! From day one, working with Sarah was seamless, organized, and incredibly enjoyable. She is not only a fountain of information and ideas herself, but she has an incredible talent for listening to your vision and then making it all come true better than you could have even imagined. She handles everything impeccably - from the nitty gritty of contracts to the creative landscape of serving ware. And she handles everything with a radiant personality that makes her a joy to work with through it all. Everyone says to enjoy the process and with Brilliant Event Planning it’s impossible not to! Admittedly, I wasn’t the easiest bride – I had crazy ideas for how to make everything personalized! – and Sarah was up for every challenge I put in front of her. I’m so immensely grateful for how hard she worked to not only execute on our ideas, but to also ensure we enjoyed the planning process. And then, when it came to wedding weekend itself, somehow Sarah continued to wow and impress us. It’s hard to even understand how she possibly accomplished all that she did in those 48 hours. Somehow the wedding of my dreams materialized around me and the greatest gift I was given through it all was not having to worry for a single second about any of it! Words don’t exist to convey how magical this was. The wedding goes by so quickly and I was so wonderfully overwhelmed by love and joy the entire time that not having to spend any time or energy checking to make sure the logistics of the event were running smoothly was incredible. Perhaps something went terribly wrong in the background of our event – I wouldn’t know! –Sarah and her team made sure that my husband, all of our guests and I spent the entire time celebrating and having fun. The event was everything I had ever imagined and more! I’m forever grateful for Sarah for being the greatest wedding planning partner I could have ever imagined and would say “Yes!” to her over and over again. I keep joking that I might have to get remarried because I’m so sad to not be working with her still, but an anniversary bash might just have to suffice! If you have the opportunity, give yourself a Brilliant wedding and you will be smiling from it for the rest of your life. -

Chelsea, Sarah and the Brilliant event team were absolutely amazing and incredibly experienced and knowledgeable. The planning process remained hassle and stress-free. Our wedding day was absolutely stunning and exactly how we pictured it. We are so grateful for all the hard work with design and planning that was done to make our special day come to life. Hiring Brilliant Event Planning was the best decision we made and would recommend everyone do so as well!! My husband and I were so relaxed during our wedding day and were able to enjoy it with family and friends. -

Chelsea single-handedly ensured that my wedding got off without a hitch and remained hassle and stress-free throughout. Her team was absolutely fabulous, so kind, detailed-oriented, and they executed everything at the highest level. Admittedly, I hired Brilliant Event Planning at the 11th hour leading up to my wedding, right at the two month point when everything started to become overwhelming and all-consuming. Chelsea jumped right into action, handling most everything from that point forward. Hiring Brilliant Event Planning, and more specifically Chelsea and her team, was one of the best choices I made and I cannot recommend them highly enough. -
Cill Sent on 10/11/2018My husband and I had the pleasure of hosting the rehearsal dinner and welcome party for our sons wedding this past weekend. We are from the Washington D.C. area and after making a few trips to New York City to look at restaurants and rooftop venues we knew we were in over our heads. I contacted Chelsea at Brilliant Event Planning and after a brief discussion decided that she understood what we wanted. She put together a short list of venues for us to visit. We came to New York and selected two of the venues she recommended. After that, Chelsea handled everything from sending out our invitations to the two events to ordering custom napkins, menus, flowers, welcome signs, and seating charts and video equipment. She handled my budget with understanding and encouragement. Both the rehearsal dinner and the welcome party were huge successes! Our guests were delighted with both venues and the set up at both places. She really understood what we wanted and delivered. We were so proud of our events. Chelsea and her team were present at both events from start to finish and handled the set up so all we had to do was show up and enjoy ourselves They were attentive, professional and kind to us as well as our guests. I cannot recommend them highly enough!!!

User2699975 Sent on 07/25/2016“Very organized” and “timely and seamless execution” are words that don’t come close to capturing what Sarah and Chelsea have done for my wedding weekend, which included a rehearsal dinner, the wedding ceremony and reception, and the day-after brunch. Without them, my husband and I wouldn’t have been able to enjoy any of it. Though we’d contracted for their month-of coordination services since we’d made the major decisions by ourselves very early on, our one piece of advice to future brides and grooms would be that the BEP team are absolutely crucial in pulling off your wedding!
There were so many things that they did, which looking back, we would never have thought of beforehand. But such things all went a long way to making the day more comfortable and extra special for the both of us. In between the ceremony and cocktails, they set aside food for my husband and I to enjoy in private as well as a bottle of champagne. They knew my feet were hurting early on in the day, so they placed a pair of my favorite loafers under my chair at the dinner table. They fixed everything in my wardrobe that I had problems with, from getting a bracelet to securely clasp to pinning my train repeatedly throughout the evening. They can talk AV technicals with the sound guys while finishing off by their expert hand last-minute calligraphy on table cards. Nothing is too large a feat for Sarah and Chelsea to tackle! -
User1992623 Sent on 12/31/2014I hired Brilliant Event Planning for 'day-of-coordination' (worked with Sarah Glick) for my October 2014 wedding and could not have been happier.
I thoroughly enjoyed working with Sarah. She was always professional, always organized, and always adorable. Sarah was worth twice what the cost ended up being, and it was the best money we spent at our wedding.
I had a large bridal party and Sarah made sure that everyone was in place and not acting foolish.
I am a slightly insane project manager by trade, and I was very impressed with Sarah and her team. I wish I could have Sarah be my life coach and make lists for me every day.
I highly recommend Sarah and her team at BEP. They are truly the best. If you are considering trying to do a wedding without one, don't do it! When you do come around, hire BEP, and specifically request Sarah! -

Chelsea and her team were amazing! I hired them for 6 weeks out planning at the recommendation of our vendor, The University Club of NY, and couldn't be happier that I did. Chelsea's experience made her an invaluable sounding board in my planning process. She also brought a lot of important thoughts and ideas that I would not have considered on my own. She was available at all hours by email or text, responsive and proactively managed our timeline, vendors and to do's so it was clear where everything stood and who owned what. She also made recommendations to me for other key vendors i.e. calligraphy, videographer and helped me better understand what I wanted to prioritize as most important aspects of the day. She has a very calm, detail oriented, and get it done demeaner that made her a pleasure to work with day of - she kept things unbelievably on track and broke our her sewing kit when my bustle came undone. I cant imagine the lead up and the day without her and her team. -

Marissa Sent on 09/19/2014I was told over and over that I would need an event-coordinator the day of the wedding, and since I trusted my friends, I did my research to find Brilliant Event Planning. Boy am I happy I did... I had a huge bridal party and large family to deal with the day of and they were nothing less than professional and organized in how they managed my entourage. I took the extra counseling package (which was an additional 5 hours of phone calls) aside from the regular day of coordination, but think the day of and the 6-8 weeks leading up to the wedding was where I saw Sarah Glick in her element. Sarah was my right hand, truly knowing by the 5-minute intervals where everyone was and needed to be. I had stressed over how we were going to handle the getting ready part and she was on top of all of that -- communicated non-stop with my vendors to be sure it was all intact. I am lucky to have had her for my wedding day.
