I'm not sure our wedding would have turned out as perfect as it was without Patrick. He was organized, honest, and an absolute delight to work with. His knowledge of local vendors is extensive, and his ability to to understand our vision helped make our day unforgettable. There is no better planner out there. Everything on our big day ran smoothly, all thanks to Patrick. -

My wedding was an actual dream come true, and it would not have been without Patrick and Magnum Opus. As a bride with a very specific and untraditional vision, but a hands-off family and bridal party, I fully leaned on Patrick to be my one & only partner in planning and he went above and beyond from Day 1.
Patrick fully understood the assignment, he embraced all my loose ideas & made them concrete and beautiful, and he advocated for us every step of the way. He offered useful advice where needed but was never overbearing and seemed to instinctually understand what felt “us”. We did not have the largest budget for an NYC wedding but he never made it seem like an issue and was able to guide us on how to spend and where to save. He’s also just genuinely fun and funny and cool.
I had almost no exact inspiration photos to share, just general ideas of the vibe I hoped to capture, and walking into the venue felt like walking right into the day I was imagining. Our wedding went off without one single hitch (or if there was one, he hid it expertly) and was an entirely stress-free, beautiful experience.
Magnum Opus was the best thing we invested in for our wedding. I have already recommended Patrick to every engaged person I know — I truly believe he’s among the best in NYC. -

Mary K. Sent on 11/13/2022Best decision I made for my wedding!!
Hiring Patrick Butler as my partial planner was by far the BEST decision I made for my wedding!! I was a little naive when I first started the wedding planning process. I didn't think I needed a planner or partial planner. My mom & I were both organized and liked planning so I saw no need. Thankfully my venue required the minimum of a "day of planner" which seemed to no longer exist post COVID. I started researching & interviewing planners. I knew within the first 3 minutes of talking with Patrick that he was the one. My mom and fiancé both said, "You can't put a price tag on the peace of mind knowing your day was going to be executed exactly how you wanted it". They were so right and Patrick is the only person you should consider to PERFECTLY execute your dream wedding... If I were to put a price tag on it, Patrick is worth at least 10x of what he charges. He is incredibly talented, organized, and his attention to detail is flawless. The planning process was so easy with no stress thanks to him. He helped navigate hiring vendors & the steps of planning a wedding. We had monthly check-ins which turned into weekly meetings after our 30 day walkthrough. 6 weeks out from the wedding he took control (which I thought would be difficult for two "type A" women like my mom and I but rest assured, Patrick had it covered). I cannot speak highly enough of Patrick Butler from Magnum Opus Events. From the pre-wedding planning, to everything he did in the weeks, days leading up to the wedding, and during the day of.. Patrick made everything stress free and flawless. If you want a perfect dream wedding, you need to hire Patrick Butler as your planner! -

Patrick and Glenn were an excellent job with coordinating and planning our wedding. They were very organized and keep everything running smooth throughout our wedding day. They also advocated for us throughout the wedding process and on our wedding day. I would highly recommend them to anyone! -

I interviewed a handful of people to be our wedding planner and when I spoke to Patrick the decision was a no brainer. We could not have been more please. He seamlessly produced the most perfect wedding we could have ever asked for, not one thing went wrong. Guest were coming up to us saying how seamless the execution of the wedding was and it was all thanks to Patrick. Do yourself a favor and work with Magnum Opus Events, you will not be disappointed. -

Patrick and Glen are the epitome of wedding planning perfection!
Their experience shines through with every question they ask, every tiny detail they cover, every inevitable mistake they fix, and every conversation you have with them. Our wedding day would not have been the absolutely seamless hit it turned out to be if it hadn't been for their diligence and innovation. They made sure everyone involved did their job, everything was set up as agreed upon, and when there was an opportunity to make something better, they did.
For example, our wedding cake (from a vendor I will never trust again) came in looking like a hot mess. We asked for a dark blue to creamy white ombre (bottom to top). When I tell you it was the color of a blue crayon and a very haphazardous ombre, I am not exaggerating. In my eyes, it was a total aberration. And without even asking, they uplit the abomination so that the hideous blue would not be the focus, but the top might pop more. That defines for me the quality of absolute service and understanding. There was something about that move that calmed me (even though seeing it up-close I wanted to throw the cake out the window). Patrick and Glen knew that the cake vendor had not delivered and did their best to make it something I could live with. It meant a lot!
They even kept my Hispanic family moving through function events on time– a Herculean task. I would hire them again to plan another absolutely unforgettable and enjoyable event. -

Best Decision Ever!! Highly Recommend Magnum Opus Events!!!
It’s hard to summarize just how amazing Patrick Butler - Magnum Opus Events are! We would not have survived wedding planning without him. He made sure we stayed on track throughout the entire process and was very good at communicating with us. Our wedding day was everything we dreamed of and we owe a lot of that to him. -

Taylor P. Sent on 10/13/2021The best decision we made.
Patrick is simply the best planner in the business. He has worked as event coordinator at the most prestigious venues in Virginia. He is very well liked within the industry, every single one of my vendors had also highly recommended Patrick/MOE. He is incredibly organized and helped simplify the entire wedding planning process. He created an easy to use google drive that he and I could access and work towards checking tasks off the list as we approached the day. My family and I had several zoom calls with Patrick, he even drove to VA from NJ to walk through the venue and meet with vendors. Every meeting with Patrick left us feeling so THANKFUL to have his help and expertise. Working with Patrick allowed me to ENJOY the entire process, especially wedding weekend - I didn't have a worry in the world because I knew Patrick had thought of every tiny detail. I highly recommend Magnum Opus Events to plan your next event... it truly was the best decision we made. -

Our wedding was perfect because of Patrick’s hard word and attention to detail. I highly recommend Patrick to anyone looking for a wedding planner. Patrick took all of the stress off of our plate and went above and beyond to ensure our special day came together perfectly! -

We are so thankful that Patrick made our special day so perfect! After booking our venue, Patrick was the first vendor we booked and when I subsequently spoke with various other vendors and mentioned we were working with Patrick, they all said that he was the best!! Our wedding day was perfect all thanks to Patrick! He went above and beyond throughout the entire process and we couldn't be more pleased! -

Patrick H. Sent on 10/04/2021Fantastic!
Patrick was fantastic for our wedding this past weekend (10/2/21). He was highly professional, detail oriented, and did a phenomenal job organizing our vendors to move everything along and keep the day on track.
A successful wedding begins with proper planning and Patrick did a very nice job here. He scheduled monthly calls a year out, and as we came closer to the date, weekly. He was always there to assist with recommendations and answer any questions.
The day of, Patrick simply shined in our eyes. Many of our guests have expressed it was the best wedding they have been to (100 in attendance) and much of that is to the credit of Patrick.
We would recommend Patrick to any of our friends, especially those in the New York area or Charlottesville VA area. Patrick has the relationships to get things done and that is a very important item when selecting a planner.
If I could have done it over again, we would have paid the extra money to have Patrick coordinate the full wedding planning.
Thank you again! -

Perfection - perfection
Magnum Opus made my daughter's wedding a true Fairy Tale wedding complete with a horse drawn carriage and ending in fireworks. The team at Magnum Opus went beyond my wildest dreams. They made everything run like clockwork and I never gave any thought on the day of the wedding of any details. Everything was set up perfectly and thy moved everything along on a very tight timeline. They were flexible when needed but kept our crazy family in line. I honestly can't think of one complaint-they worked with me the entire journey and adapted to whatever we might have thrown their way. They kept me calm during a very up and down COVID journey. I was very honored to have worked closely with Patrick Butler. THEY ARE A MUST TO USE. -

I cannot say enough about Patrick and Glenn! Their professionalism and attention to detail are second to none. Our wedding experience was made so much better by having them with us throughout. Patrick and Glenn thought of every item on our To Do List before it even occurred to us to start planning for it. On the day of our wedding, every single detail was perfect! They took care of us from top to bottom. I would HIGHLY suggest that anyone who can work with them... does so! -

Jennifer Sent on 02/27/2020Destination Wedding Dream Come True
My husband and I planned a destination wedding at Beaches Turks and Caicos. While the resort offers a great program and support, we knew we needed a professional looking out for us throughout the planning process and during our resort experience. Hiring Magnum Opus was the BEST decision we could have made. While working with Beaches, you are assigned one contact while preplanning and a completely different team onsite. This stressed me and my husband out to no end, but Patrick and Glenn were there for us through each detail and new development that occurred. When we arrived on site, we connected them with the Beaches team and the guys took it from there. We literally had no worries from that point on. They had an extremely detailed plan which they kept us on at all times and ensured we arrived on time for each event. On the wedding day, they guided our entire wedding party and guests through every point of the ceremony and reception to perfection. I know my guests were impressed with how they worked with the resort staff and my husband and I could not be more grateful to them.Magnum Opus Events's reply:
Jenn and Dean, we loved working on your wedding and the extra challenge of hosting it at Beaches was an amazing experience. Thank you for trusting us to deliver you both a stress-free celebration! We look forward to your many anniversaries to come! -

Laura B. Sent on 02/27/2020Best wedding decision!
Having Glenn and Patrick for our wedding was invaluable! They possess great communication skills, professionalism, and organization. Glenn was such a calming presence throughout planning and especially on our wedding day. They worked with all of the vendors leading up to and the day of our wedding, so that it was one less thing for us to worry about. The set up was absolutely gorgeous- Glenn made sure every idea we had came to life. He made sure we had every little thing we needed the day of without being intrusive. I can honestly say our wedding day was completely flawless and exactly what we imagined, all thanks to Glenn and Patrick. Best decision we made!Magnum Opus Events's reply:
Laura and Bryce,
Thank you for your kind words, we loved working with you and your family on your wedding. You chose an amazing venue with endless beauty but nothing compared to the love you two share and it was very apparent to all who witnessed your special day! -
