Kate Sent on 04/26/2024The best decision I made throughout my entire wedding planning process was hiring Busy Bee's Events
The best decision I made throughout my entire wedding planning process was hiring Busy Bee's Events. Bettina was highly organized, communicative, knowledgable, and dependable. She is truly an expert in the wedding planning space and I trust her opinions very highly. She added so much value to my wedding planning experience by sharing her wisdom and guiding me through the entire process. I can honestly say that I never experienced the wedding stress that so many people talk about because I knew that Busy Bee's Events had everything covered. Bettina was there every step of the way to transform my vision into reality and helped me make strategic, realistic decisions to achieve my goals while staying within the budget.
On the wedding day itself, so many people from my wedding party commented on what an amazing wedding planning team I had. By the time the wedding day came around it felt like Bettina and I were able to communicate with looks alone. Not only is Bettina extremely capable, she is also so kind and such a joy to be around. Her entire team contributed to such a zen wedding day for me. I am so grateful to Busy Bee's Events and would recommend them to anyone who wants a top-notch wedding planning experience! -

If you're debating whether to hire a day-of coordinator because of the price or thinking friends and/or family can help, I completely understand, I felt the same way at first. But now that my wedding is over, I can honestly say it was one of the best decisions I made. And I am extremely happy it was with Busy Bee’s Events. From the very beginning, the process with Busy Bee’s was great. I first spoke with Adriana, who walked me through everything, explained how their coordination process works and answered every question, which made me feel comfortable moving forward.
At the six-week mark I started working with Becky, my lead coordinator, and from that point on she was absolutely on it. Becky and I instantly vibed and I knew I was in good hands. She helped guide me through the final planning stages, attended a venue meeting with me, and was also there for our rehearsal to make sure everyone knew exactly what they were doing. I was able to talk with Becky anytime I had a question, a stress attack, or just to run something by her to get her opinion since she has experience in the business. On the wedding day, Taylor, my bridal attendant, was simply amazing. She treated me like an absolute princess the entire day. She was my hype girl, helped with anything I needed, and stayed by my side from getting ready all the way through the reception. She truly made me feel calm, supported, and excited throughout the whole day. She even brought food to the groom that was staying in a different room. Meanwhile, Becky was behind the scenes making everything run perfectly…coordinating vendors, managing the timeline, handling setup and breakdown of my decor, and making sure everything flowed smoothly. Because of her, I was able to just relax and enjoy my wedding day without worrying about logistics. Becky and Taylor also stayed in constant communication with me throughout the entire day and reception, always checking in and making sure I knew what was happening next so I never felt lost or overwhelmed. I truly LOVED working with both Becky and Taylor and I’m so grateful for everything they did. They made my day so special. If you're considering hiring a coordinator, I would absolutely recommend Busy Bee’s. They were worth everything and more!! -

Writing this review is one of the easiest things my husband and I have ever done — because hiring Busy Bee’s Events was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding!
As we reached the final week before the big day, we looked at each other and said without hesitation: “This was worth every penny. We’d hire them again in a heartbeat.” And we truly mean that.
From start to finish, Bettina and Becky were more than just wedding planners — they felt like trusted friends who genuinely cared about us and our vision. They brought unmatched professionalism, warmth, and a refreshing honesty that we didn’t know we needed. They weren’t afraid to offer real opinions when it mattered most, and their guidance helped us make decisions that truly reflected who we are as a couple.
Busy Bee’s made us feel like our dream day was not only possible but destined. They brought thoughtful, unique ideas to the table and helped execute each one with precision. From vendor recommendations to timeline coordination to creative details — they were on it all.
One incredible surprise on our wedding day was having our very own bridal specialist, Michael Paulaje— whose sole job was to make sure everything went smoothly for us and our bridal party. From steaming robes and dresses to keeping us on schedule to being the biggest hype man ever (seriously, he was iconic!) — he brought energy, calm, and care. We truly can’t imagine the day without him.
We’re honestly going to miss the planning process — which sounds wild after planning a wedding — but that’s how special Busy Bee’s made it. They turned a potentially stressful experience into something joyful and exciting.
If you’re on the fence about hiring a planner, let this be your sign: hire Busy Bee’s Events. They will go above and beyond to make your day flawless — and they’ll make you feel taken care of every step of the way. Our wedding was the most unforgettable day of our lives, and we have them to thank for it!

Amy A. Sent on 01/03/2025You should not plan a wedding without Becky from Busy Bee’s
We cannot say enough great things about Becky at Busy Bee’s. From Day 1 to Day of, she was an absolute lifesaver. Her attention to detail, organization, and her knowledge, brought our absolute dream wedding to life. Not only was she on top of every detail, but she also provided so much emotional support, talking me off a ledge more than once when things felt overwhelming. Her calm and reassuring presence made all the difference, and she went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. If you're looking for someone who is not only talented but truly cares about making your day special, your wedding team must include Becky. She is a true gem, and a million times over, we recommend her!

Hi future bride and groom, I JUST got married this past Saturday and needed to show my appreciation for Bettina and her Busy Bee crew Destiny and Amanda. Wow, just wow.
I started working officially with Bettina 6 weeks before my event, and the minute she started, I felt at ease. She swooped in, explained the logistics of the day and I knew she would be able to handle anything on my special day.
We experienced a random storm, my now husband's suspenders breaking, the wind breaking my wedding sign, my table seating chart coming broken, and when I tell you, Bettina didn't break her smile, Bettina, Destiny and Amanda were incredibly calm and handled everything so I could just enjoy my party!!!
We ended up with the most beautiful sunset, she fixed my hubby's suspenders, she covered the sign with flowers, found a way to fix the table seating chart, she went above and beyond and I truly don't know how she does it!!!! I wouldn't change a thing!!! Forever will be appreciative of working with Busy Bee's -

Bettina and her team are the best!!!
Bettina and her team are the best of the best!!! I had a 2 year engagement and really thought I had everything figured out, but hiring Bettina for the 6 weeks up to my wedding was the best decision. Bettina is so organized, so experienced, and has so many relationships with other vendors, that she quickly relieved me of so many last minute planning duties, and took over. Our vendors were scheduled, managed, knew where they were supposed to be and when, all because of Bettina and her team.
Stephanie was with me all day in the bridal suite, handling things I didn't even know needed to be handled. She was beside me every step of the day, and I would have lost my bouquet and been passed out from dehydration if it wasn't for her! Venue coordinator and wedding planners are not the same thing! Bettina catered to me and my husband first despite what vendors pushed. Also, dealing with our very loud Italian & jewish family is not easy, and Bettina had us all in line and on time throughout the day! She sewed and pinned my broken bustle, and comforted me and took control when my outdoor ceremony turned indoor 4 hours before starting time. If you are doubting a wedding planner/coordinator, trust me when I say you need one to fully sit back and enjoy the best day of your life, and you can put all your trust into Bettina and her team!! -

There are not enough words to describe how appreciative I am of Bettina and her team. From start to finish, Bettina and her team took care of everything... I mean EVERYTHING! They made the wedding planning process seamless down to every last little detail. Friends and family would tell me all the time that I was the calmest bride they've ever seen and it is all thanks to Busy Bee's. My wedding day was the best day of my life. -

Dyann Sent on 12/21/2022Busy Bee's is incredible!!!
Busy Bee's is WONDERFUL. I had a small wedding (45 people) and thought my day-of coordinator would have pretty limited work to do... I couldn't be more wrong or more grateful that she was there. I worked directly with Bettina and Becky (who was on-site for me that day) and she was spectacular. Not only did we speak multiple times before the big day, she told me exactly how to get organized and we had the perfect game plan once the day came around. Of course, weather, unexpected delays, and small obstacles popped up and Becky fixed the bumps in the road without adding any stress to my day. She kept me relaxed and made sure my day was enjoyable. Becky went totally above and beyond, my guests had an incredible time, and not even rain could keep us from having the most wonderful night. I am BEYOND grateful for this team and would recommend them to anyone planning a wedding. Thank you ladies so much! -

I truly cannot imagine having my wedding without Bettina and her team. On my first call with Bettina, she put my anxious bride fears all to rest. I was planning a destination wedding and had no idea where to begin! After our first call, I had 100% confidence in Bettina and her team to help me create the wedding of my dreams. Bettina was there every step and helped keep us on track and on budget. I appreciated that I never heard "no," but a "let me look into that" or "let's see how we can make that happen." Bettina and her team were so supportive leading up to the wedding but blew me away on the day. I can't imagine the day without the support of Marissa and Sam! Marissa would have a bottle of water ready to go before I even knew I needed it - truly amazing! I am sad that my wedding day is over, but even sadder I will not be working with Bettina! Bettina is professional, honest, creative, and an amazing person to work with. I cannot recommend her and her team enough! -

It’s hard to put into words how absolutely incredible working with BusyBees was. As a VERY type-A bride I thought I had thought of everything before my (now) husband I started work with Bri. I am happy to admit that I did NOT think of everything (I mean, seriously, who thinks to plan napkin folds!!!) but that’s okay because Bri absolutely knew what to ask (and what to recommend). She was a joy to work with, to get to know, and to make us feel like everything was completely under control for the big day. THEN- I though our experience with BusyBees couldn’t get any better until I met my bridal concierge, Becky, who honestly felt like a best friend, ready to make sure my every want and need was met (plus more) on the big day! Looking back on planning (and experiencing) our wedding, I think about how perfect every moment was because of the incredible care and attention BusyBees provided. 10/10 recommend!! -

Madelyn Sent on 04/17/2022The professionalism and positivity from the Busy Bee's team is OUTSTANDING!
It was an absolute pleasure working with Busy Bee's! From my first call with Bettina, which was extremely helpful and informative to when we officially began working with our planner, Brianne. She was the BEST! I'm pretty organized but was beginning to get a little overwhelmed and once she began guiding us through the process it just brought so much clarity and made the experience less stressful!
No matter what question I had, she never made me feel silly for asking and always took the additional time to explain it in a way that made sense. I don't have much experience with weddings as I'm the first in my friends and family to get married and Bri explained how the flow of events went and why/how things were usually done based from her experience. I truly feel that every time we spoke, emailed, and exchanged text messages I was learning something new and felt more at ease each time as the wedding date approached. Even the day of the wedding and during reception, Bri ensured that things went smoothly and important parts of the night took place without me having to think about it. I really don't know what I would've done without her!
Our bridal concierge was Becky and I couldn't have asked for a better person to have by my side. I am easily overwhelmed, especially when presented with too many options/decisions and on the day of the wedding, her attentiveness and calming presence made me feel extremely relaxed throughout the day.
Brianne and Becky are honestly just cool people and made us feel comfortable!
The professionalism and positivity from the Busy Bee's team is OUTSTANDING! Our wedding day was amazing and a huge part of it is thanks to them! -

Brielle Sent on 01/24/2022Bri and Busy Bee's Events are the BOMB !!!
I literally could go on and on forever about Busy Bee's Events. My mom and I were debating on whether or not it was necessary to hire a wedding planner - and I'm so thankful we did! I don't know what I would've done without Bri as my head wedding planner. For the 6 weeks before my wedding, Bri was my lifeline. We would talk about everything I did or didn't know I needed for my wedding day. Bri was attentive to detail, thoughtful, organized, fabulous, and most importantly, she is there to make all your wedding dreams come true. The event for sure would not have gone as smoothly if it wasn't for Bri having everything under control. I tend to stress out easily, but having Bri there every step of the way made my wedding planning experience essentially stress free. She took care of EVERYTHING! On the day of, I did not have a care in the world. I can truly says that because of Bri taking care everything, my wedding day was the absolute most magical and breathtaking day of my life. Oh and also, Becky was the best bridal concierge I could've asked for. She never left my side all day on my wedding day and she took care of every little detail for me. I highly recommend Busy Bee's Events team. Busy Bee's Events has great relationships with vendors and they are highly respected in the wedding industry. -

Amazing!!!
Wow! We were blown away with the level of service provide by our day of team. Adriana, Destiny, and Stephanie far exceeded our expectations. They were extremely organized, attentive, and polite. At one point I feel like I gave Destiny everything I brought in my suitcase and she had it all available for me when needed even while carrying my tux jacket for an extended time. They helped us coordinate last minute changes and were very accommodating with our special requests. We had a few hiccups with our other vendors but they handled it extremely well and made us feel at ease. Adriana was very responsive before, during, and after our event and helped us make decisions on things we had not expected. We can’t say enough good things about them and we are extremely grateful they made our special day a success. Thank you!!! -

Stephanie Sent on 09/22/2021Best decision ever
I could not recommend booking with Busy Bees enough. Adriana, Bettina and their team went above and beyond for our wedding and I have two great examples, among many, where they significantly exceeded my expectations -
First, our initial florist went out of business due to COVID a few months before the wedding. I had already paid a few thousand dollar deposit and got a call from Adriana telling me about the florist closing with information already prepared on how to dispute the charge (I was fully refunded) and a list of alternate florists that we’re willing to do the same design for the same price. I didn’t even have time to worry about it before they had a solution for us.
Second, about a month before our wedding my mom got COVID and ended up in the ICU on a ventilator. I was extremely overwhelmed and emotional about handling her medical care and we made the difficult decision to postpone our wedding. Adriana had talked to all our vendors, outlined alternate dates and had a game plan for us within a few days. We found a new date, Adriana and Bettina were so compassionate as we navigated this situation and a few months later my mom was recovered and dancing at our wedding. Wedding planning can be really time consuming and stressful and it meant everything to me that they completely handled this last minute reschedule so that I could focus on my mom’s health and ultimately have her with me at our wedding.
Hiring Busy Bees was the single best decision we made for our wedding. Bettina, Adriana and their teams are extremely knowledgable, organized and proactive and we couldn’t have done it without them! Thank you!! -

Wendys Sent on 09/03/2021The Best Wedding Planner!!
When my fiancé Marty and I began our wedding planning process we had no clue where to start, but we did know that we wanted to hire a planner to help us throughout this journey. We searched around and we were blessed to have met Bettina, Adriana, and the entire Busy Bee’s team! When we tell you that there is no one else in the industry as hard-working and as caring as the gals from Busy Bee’s, we are not kidding! It has by far been the best decision we could’ve done. From the very beginning, they sat down and got to know us as we discussed our visions and how we could fit that within our budget. From that moment on, Busy Bee’s handled everything. From Venue search, walk-throughs, finding and negotiating with vendors, tastings, logistics, and more, to finally make our special day a dream come true! We truly enjoyed how we had open communication and always responded promptly to any questions or concerns we had. The attention to detail and organization was always top-notch and we always felt like we were treated as family. When it came down to the week of our wedding, they handled everything smoothly and perfectly. From changes to our rehearsal dinner location to getting our wedding party on the same page, Bettina and Adriana made sure to operate making it memorable and enjoyable. The wedding day was a dream come true!! We felt relaxed knowing that we were in the best of hands. The only thing that was making me nervous was the weather which was looking like it was going to rain for our outdoor ceremony, but Bettina always kept an open communication with my husband and me and made us feel like no matter what happened, they had it under control. As we continued to get ready, Adriana was my amazing bridal concierge and she was in my room with my bridesmaids helping us get ready, and made sure to keep us on track. Even for our first-look, my husband got a stain on his white tuxedo and Adriana made sure to quickly take our her handy-dandy stain remover right before our pictures! Whew! And on the other hand, Bettina was also making sure that the groom, groomsmen and the rest of the family were doing okay staying on schedule, all on top of coordinating everything else with vendors behind the scenes. Luckily, the rain pushed back and did not ruin our outdoor ceremony, and right before I walked down the aisle with my father, I had a truly special moment as this planning journey came to an end. I had my father to my left and Adriana to my right, standing next to me, helping me stay relaxed while enjoying the moment. As I walked down the stairs, Bettina was waiting for me with a smile on her face and she and Adriana quickly got behind my dress and opened the train so beautifully and it became the perfect moment of pure stillness and all the hard work that they had put in to achieve this, as I was just about to walk down the aisle. Once we got to our reception, oh my goodness! It was like a true fairytale dream. Our vision of what we wanted became a reality and so much more! From the placements to the decor, the flowers, the timeline, everything was absolute perfection and we just truly couldn’t have done it without Bettina, Adriana, and the entire Busy Bee’s team. We are so lucky and will be forever grateful to these gals for making our dreams come true. We not only had wedding planners but we also gained friendships that have started through this and we couldn’t have asked for more. THANK YOU BETTINA, THANK YOU ADRIANA, AND THANK YOU BUSY BEE’S FOR EVERYTHING!!
So for anyone looking for a wedding planner, please look no further than Busy Bee’s! You will not regret it and will be one of the best decisions you could ever make in your wedding planning journey. -

When starting my wedding planning process I first thought I could totally do it by myself. Yeah, that was pretty hard. I reached out to Busy Bee's and it was the best decision I made. They handled EVERYTHING from planning the tastings, walk throughs, making sure all of the vendors were on the same page, and most importantly, I was able to ENJOY my wedding day, I literally felt no stress the entire time. I had the most amazing bridal concierge who took care of everything during the day. All I had to do was show up! I could not recommend them enough. They are always available, and they respond so quickly. We had to postpone our wedding from December of 2020 to this July and I thought it was going to be a huge stressful process. Nope. Bettina and her team took care of it all and just kept me in the loop. It is because of her and her team that I was able to relax and enjoy every part of the wedding. Thank you guys so much for making my wedding absolutely incredible. Wish I could have m wedding all over again just to hire you guys!! -

Best Wedding Planners Ever!!!!
There are not enough words to properly describe how AMAZING Adriana and the rest of the Busy Bees team is! We hired her about a year before our original date with only a venue and photographer selected. Not only did she effortlessly guide us through every step of the wedding planning process, but she connected us with other AWESOME vendors who helped make our day extra special!
Then - when we were forced to postpone a month before our original date - Adriana, once again, handled the changes with nothing but top-notch professionalism, open communication, and just overall support for us. The next year was filled with guest list changes, relocating dinner to an outside space, timeline adjustments and multiple contract renegotiations, but Adriana handled it ALL! Our venue also placed some rigid guidelines on the event as well, but Adriana had our back and fought for us the whole time. When our wedding day finally came, Adriana (+ Stephanie too!) made the entire day perfect!! They problem-solved every hiccup that came their way (without me knowing at the time!) and made sure the day flowed flawlessly. Our wedding would not have been possible without her!!!!!
So, if you want a stress-free planning process and the perfect wedding day - HIRE THIS TEAM!!! They are amazing planners and even better people! Forever thankful we found them -

We booked Busy Bee’s/Adriana for 6 weeks of wedding coordination and have nothing but great things to say about her! Since the first day we began working together, she went above and beyond to make sure we had a seamless day – and we did. Adriana and her team were professional and friendly and made sure everything was on schedule. During the event, she made sure everything ran smoothly. I couldn’t have imagined going through this day without Adriana and her team – so grateful for them! -

We hired Adriana with Busy Bee’s as our Day of Coordinator and boy was that one of the best decisions we made!! The 6wks leading up to the big day were a breeze. Adriana went above and beyond for us not to feel an ounce of stress or to ease our worries due to Covid throwing a wrench our way. (Thankfully no postponement was needed).
Adriana and Stephanie were hands on on the morning of from getting last minute pastries, to searching for dress socks we forgot for the kids 🤦🏻♀️ Down to Bettina having to sew me a new fish hook in the back of my dress just moments before walking down the aisle. Absolutely grateful for this team. I highly recommend them. These girls know what they’re doing 👍🏼 👍🏼 -

From day one I knew I didn’t want to be bothered with planning a wedding and my friend recommended Bettina. We planned our wedding for 18 months and Everyone would always say omg your planning a wedding you must be so stressed.... nope not at all! Bettina and Adrianna made it the most enjoyable process and made our day the best day ever! If you are planning an event hire Busy Bees and then trust the process! She is beyond organized and all her spreadsheets made my ocd dad very happy! She was there for every question I had if it was etiquette or just her opinion she was always available! She had prepared us for our plan b (tent) for 18 months which I insisted we would not need and then the only day Florida decided to have 40 degree weather was the day I had a wedding on a rooftop but that was no problem - Bettina had heaters priced out in hours and it was no stress at all! Day of the wedding she made the experience amazing we never had to think about a single thing from the time I woke up the amazing Monique was at my door and Sidney was with the boys they were both amazing! Anything we needed they were there told us where to go kept us on track with time and just made sure we were having the time of our life! During Ceremony and Reception Bettina would stop by give us our cues 5 min till toast or 5 min till cake cutting and we never had to think about anything but being in the moment. Thank you guys for making our vision come to life! It was seriously the best day of our lives! -

Michelle Sent on 02/23/2020Saves you money and effort!
The BEST money spent on our wedding by far! I know choosing to have a wedding planner seems like an unnecessary expense, but Adriana was worth every cent spent, and actually ended up SAVING ME THOUSANDS on other vendors! I ended up choosing the partial planning package, as we had already chosen our venue. ADRIANA ENDED UP SAVING ME MORE MONEY THAN SHE COST by helping to find my amazing vendors that were a fraction of the cost of what I could find on my own -- that all still did amazing, high-quality, beautiful work! Working with Adriana was a dream, she did an amazing job getting to know us as a couple, finding out what our style and values were, and selecting vendors that would fulfill our vision. She helped us to create a budget and stay under the budget - which I feel is unheard of for weddings. She became more than a planner and truly became a friend to me in this process. I would highly recommend working with Adriana if you are able. Even on the big day, when there was a fiasco (a vendor who was doing a coffee cart got a flat tire en route and couldn't make it in time), I had NO IDEA because everything still went so seamlessly and Adriana made it so that coffee still went out with the late night bites. I only found out the vendor never came the next day when Adriana was confirming their refund. My wedding day went absolutely perfectly without a single hiccup in it because I know that Adriana was working tirelessly behind the scenes for me. I highly highly recommend Busy Bee's Events (and specifically Adriana) for your wedding planning. It was honestly a pleasure to work with her and her team and I'm honestly a little sad I don't get to continue to work with her on this anymore! -

The ladies of Busy Bees deserve every single award in the book! They are the real MVP's for weddings and should be part of every brides wedding budget.
I had the absolute pleasure of working with Adriana as my "day of coordinator" she was contracted to help me 6 weeks before our wedding date but was answering every question, every step of the way. She recommended stellar vendors and gave me helpful tips long before her 6 weeks even started.
On the days leading up to our wedding, Adriana had become my best friend. My go- to for all things wedding!! She solved every problem that came her way, and some without even letting me know. She made this process so smooth and so stress free. WE LOVE HER!!
On the day of the wedding.. everything was PERFECTION! Kristin, my "bridal concierge" was the sweetest person. She did everything to make our morning special. From getting the girls breakfast, to helping me surprise the groom with morning treats.. she even went to get my dad breakfast and coffee. She helped me with my dress in the bathroom, gave me water, fed me.. she just made sure everything was perfect and in order. Again.. best friend for the day! When we got to the venue, I was sad to say bye to Kristin but was introduced to Bri; another angel from Busy Bees. She was always by my side, helping me with my dress, feeding me, helping me walk around and take photos. Every single person I interacted with from Busy Bees made my heart smile.
I want brides to know that unexpected things will happen, problems will rise on your big day.. it rained (outdoor venue), our officiant was late, family was sick.. but everything was perfect, and I owe it all to the amazing vendors and to the incredible team at Busy Bees. This is by far, the best money spent.
THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart to the incredible, patient, sweet, caring, and loving team at Busy Bees.
We love you!! -

...my wife and I ( wife to be at the time ), started planning our wedding months in advance. Found the perfect venue - a great florist - fantastic Dj and photographer ( both of whom are close friends ), we had it all figured out! We put ourselves under impression that we are all good to go and it will be a super easy night and everything will go as planned. After sharing the good news with a few friends we kept getting the same feedback “ don’t do it on your own, get a wedding planner “! At first, I was hesitant to do so, I have many years experience in hospitality, I know how to run events...then it hit me - I am not running the event! Jessica ( wife ) - decided to look around for a wedding planner, she’s extremely precise and did extensive research to find just what we were looking for. We stumbled upon Bettina and her company Busy Bee, gave her a shot. Once we arranged a meeting and had our first sit down, I felt a huge rock lifted off my chest, the three of bonded fantastically, she understood where we were coming from and what we wanted. In months leading up to the big day, Bettina made efforts to reach out to us a number of times, randomly, just to make sure we are doing good and to check up on any new ideas, changes, and such. Such behavior gave both Jessica and I loads of confidence - it truly showed that she cared, and was not in it just for a quick pay check. Fast forward to the day of the wedding. My anxiety is over the moon, and I am patiently waiting for Bettina to meet us for a final walk thru / rehearsal ( we showed up an hour early to hit the bar ). Within the first 10 minutes - my anxiety departed and suddenly I was more relaxed about the big day. During the day of the wedding, I felt like she was a good friend helping me out more then a wedding planner - in the best way possible (the girl can tie a bow tie like a champ - I can’t even tie my shoes ). The confidence in her work carries over to the bride and groom, which is the most important thing that one can have. Her attention to detail before the ceremony ever began, truly made my day special ( mind you again, I come from hospitality, and freak out about everything that can potentially go sour ). I decided to be “ that guy “ who did a property survey a few hours before the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception - and found myself appalled that everything was prepared and organized above and beyond. I of course had a few little questions here and there, however, before I was finished with my question, she had an answer and was 5 steps ahead. We are truly lucky to have found Bettina and her wonderful staff, our wedding would not have been the same carefree, organized, and simply fun - if it would not be for them! -

So let me start off by saying that I absolutely did not think I needed a planner for our wedding day. I work in the event world and had everything taken care of. My family insisted I hire a day of so to please them I started searching for a planner. I have worked with SEVERAL planners throughout my career and have never been blown away. I met Bettina at a networking event and instantly knew if I was going to have anyone there day of it would be her. During the planning process Bettina was always so quick with replies and always had an answer. As I was checking into my hotel to start the weekend, I was informed from the venue that something timing wise was not going to work. I went into full “zilla mode” and was starting to re arrange my entire wedding. Within a few hours, Bettina had everything handled and we were able to go on as originally planned.
Day of, Bettina showed up with an absolute DREAM TEAM of assistants. Always 10 steps ahead of any thought that pops into your mind, so calming and just all around on it. Waking up to everything neatly packed in my hotel room was the icing on the cake. Not only did I get to enjoy my wedding day (stress free) but so did my bridal party and family which I think is invaluable.
Hiring Busy Bee for our wedding was by far the best decision we made. -

I cannot be more happy with my choice! Adriana was such a pleasure to work with. Not only was she incredibly patient, but she kept me on top of everything!! I really liked the vendor selection they provided, but most importantly I changed things up quite a bit with them, yet she still kept me on pace with everything. My ideas for my wedding were all over the place, however she somehow made everything come to life but even more beautiful than I could have ever dreamed of. Thank you soo much for everything!! -

It’s hard to put into words the impact my decision to hire Bettina and her team for my big day was. Infact, I can’t even think of the alternative!! Bettina is the real deal and she and her team blew is all away. She loves what she does and it’s obvious regarding her work ethic, expertise, customer service, and professionalism. My wedding day was the most incredible, magical, and dare I say it .... easy going day and that’s only because of Busy Bees. All I had to do was show up, get glammed, drink some bubbly, and follow Bettina and her team’s lead! This allowed me the breathing room to enjoy every second of the day, have fun with my girls, and soak up every moment with my groom. Bettina has everything and everyone covered and rolls with her own Busy Bee squad. Bettina assigned my girls and I our own personal assistant, and she did the same for the guys. Kelsey was fabulous... she was relaxed, bubbly and she did everything from order our lunch, find me iced tea, help my bridesmaid with a dress stain, and carry the train of my dress around during photos. Just having her there with us was a stress reliever. The Busy Bee girls all wear little fanny packs with literally everything you could need (like emergency deodorant and a lip stick touch up!!). Bettina herself is incredibly organized, highly professional, and very experienced. I leaned on her a lot during my planning for advice and suggestions, and I don’t know what I would have done without that. She knows all of the little things I never even knew or considered, and the value of that is priceless for it made our night so perfect. She also puts together your welcome bags and she let me ship all the items to her, which she then creates, and drops off at the hotels free of charge. She followed up with me many times before the wedding to make sure our timeline and vision worked well and she mapped out the day in 5 minute increments and made sure we stuck to the schedule. She and her team stayed until almost the very end of the night, handing out glow sticks, and passing the tip money out to our vendors. One moment that sticks out in my head is when Jay and I were in the Yichud (10 minute break after the ceremony) and my feet were killing me and I go “does anyone know where my flat shoes—“ and without skipping a beat Bettina says “they are already under your table waiting for you”. SHE IS THE BEST!!!!!! Do you want to be stress free on your wedding day? The obvious answer is YES!!! I would use Bettina Busy Bee’s Events over and over. -

In the beginning of my wedding planning experience, I was convinced I can handle a 180+ guest wedding without a day of coordinator. With ONLY 3 weeks left to the BIG day, reality kicked in and I went into partial panic mode. I say “partial” because Adriana came to my rescue before I became what i feared most...BRIDEZILLA! She took on the role as our day of coordinator with minimal time to prepare and in less than 24 hours already had an itinerary prepared for us!!!! (Multiple versions of the itinerary to be exact)! Adriana’s expertise in the wedding industry was exactly what we needed because neither myself or my now husband knew of all the little details that can get overlooked. Nor did we realize how important and difficult it can be to keep everyone on schedule. We didn’t consider how big of a factor “time” plays when planning things such as a “first look” or “room reveal” or even how much time bustling my dress would take us. Adriana really exceeded our expectations and did an amazing job keeping tabs on all the vendors. Our church coordinator was difficult to get a hold of and Adriana took extreme measures, to say the least, to get a hold of her and make sure we were all on the same page. Adriana truly alleviated me from wedding day stress. She even made sure I was eating/ drinking the whole time and simply enjoying the moment :)
Ultimately without her our big day would not have been as wonderful as it was and she truly did do the most to ensure things were running smoothly and on time. We’d hire her again if we had another wedding (hah) and would gladly recommend her to anyone and everyone looking for professional help. -

Elaine Sent on 09/23/2018If there were more than 5 stars, I’d give it to her and her amazing team. Bettina and her assistant Adriana are the planners you need next to you on your big day. They are so unbelievably professional and calm, and will always support your ideas giving you their own. I feel like Bettina was more than my planner, she was one of the people I’d communicate with the most for over a year so as happy as I am to see how amazing my wedding day was, I am also sad to see her go. Thank you so much Bettina for being the best planner a girl with huge dreams could ask for. You truly are one of a kind!
