Kathy Sent on 10/24/2024Creating a Unique Celebration
REBEL approach
From the start, we knew the traditional wedding industry wasn't for us. Choosing Modern Rebel was the best decision we made
CAITLIN!!!!
A huge shoutout to Caitlin, our lead planner. She was so genuinely excited for us at every step, which in turn made us excited instead of stressed. She kept us grounded, constantly reminding us why we were celebrating in the first place. Caitlin turned the planning journey into a genuinely enjoyable experience.
Personalized Touches Everywhere
Modern Rebel ensured every detail was uniquely us. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how present we felt in every aspect—from the monogrammed ice cubes and memorial wall to the poetry station. It was heartwarming to hear how much these personal touches meant to everyone
Bringing Cultures Together
We faced the unique challenge of blending Dominican, Puerto Rican, Korean, and authentic Brooklyn vibes—the place where we met and built our home. Modern Rebel tackled this seamlessly, weaving our cultures into an authentic celebration
Organized and Well-Connected
Their organizational skills were top-notch. They assembled an incredible team of vendors who not only came highly recommended but also exceeded our expectations
Overall, Highly Recommend
If you're seeking a wedding planner who breaks the mold, listens intently, and brings your unique story to life, we can't recommend Modern Rebel enough -

Molly Sent on 10/05/2022Modern Rebel and Brit are the best!
We hired Modern Rebel for month-of coordination services for our recent wedding and had a fantastic experience working with them. From the first few moments of our kick-off call with our coordinator Brit, we immediately felt a lot calmer and knew that everything would come together thanks to her help!! She had an answer to every question, was always so many steps ahead of us, helped us navigate a few last minute changes, and was the most calming presence throughout the whole month leading up to the wedding and the day of so that we could be completely in the moment and enjoy every second of our wedding! We highly recommend Modern Rebel, especially Brit! -

Cecilia Sent on 07/28/2020There's no words to express how grateful we are
We were incredibly lucky to have found Modern Rebel. Brittany was more than amazing. In only 4 weeks, she helped us organize our multicultural bilingual virtual wedding (which of course is a weird new-concept to work around). She had everything so under control that we had no reason to feel stressed out about anything else but how much we were going to enjoy ourselves after the ceremony!
My father in law was amazed by Brittany, he asked me "Where did you find your planner?", not only she was extremely professional and meticulous, but also an amazing person with the best attitude, every single time.
We are eternally grateful to Modern Rebel, 10/10! -

We were lucky enough to work with Molly and Shaine from Modern Rebel as "day-of" coordinators for our August 2023 wedding. Molly took over all vendor communications starting 30 days before our event. Molly inspired instant trust with her obvious expertise and clarity about the process. She gave clear schedules for when things would happen and alerted us to a huge oversight in our planning process until then. We were provided with clear and thorough forms and tables to fill out; it was obvious how completely the Modern Rebel team thinks about event planning.
The day of organization was so comprehensive I literally felt like a wedding guest and had to try to remember it was my wedding. Molly handled several unexpected happenings the day of (e.g., gale force winds, a collapsed cake, etc.) with verve, always coming to us with clear descriptions of the issue and a solution already in motion or the exact thing we needed from her "emergency kit." We have since heard tons of stories from guests about the variety of things Molly handled for them that we weren't even aware of.
Last, but not at all least, Molly is a singularly delightful person who added such enthusiasm to the process and validated all our ridiculous wedding ideas. Working with her was not only indispensable for our wedding day, it was an absolute pleasure. -

Molly Sent on 06/24/2022Can't recommend them enough!
We used Modern Rebel as our month-of coordinator and enthusiastically recommend them if you are planning an NYC wedding. From the initial meeting to the final day, Brittany Ward was detail-oriented, conscientious and enthusiastic; planning a wedding involves a lot of moving parts (especially a wedding that got pandemic-postponed twice) and there was no part of the process that didn't feel like it was expertly handled. We just had our actual wedding day and it was a dream. We actually got to enjoy ourselves and experience the event as something fun and not stressful. A+, no notes!! -

Casie Sent on 11/09/2022Amazing & Collaborative Experience!!
Modern Rebel and Amy were amazing, we can’t say enough praise about them. Amy worked with us for over a year, guiding us through big decisions and helping us visualize our ideas with all the amazing vendors. When we first met with Amy, we thought we had challenging criteria, we wanted a huge modern, well-designed space, an insane dance party and to have as many BIPOC & women-owned businesses as possible. Modern Rebel delivered exactly that, pairing us up with amazing vendors, designers, and performers and helping us find moments to make it feel exclusively ‘us’ in the process. We told people the whole time that planning our wedding would have been impossible without her.
One thing we will really miss is our monthly check-ins and having someone be so present with us while planning such a special day for ourselves and our families. Amy is calm and always knows what to do, and she can be straight with you which is so important. All her colleagues also step in and assist whenever needed, which is seamless, and shows it is a really well-run company. We recommend Modern Rebel 100% and for those who can do it, we suggest the full planning service! It’s fun and well worth it.
Thank you Amy, Cait, and the whole Modern Rebel team! We’re still hearing kind words from our friends and family about what a blast they had. :)

Kelly Sent on 09/18/2019Couldn't have done it without Brittany!
Brittany is exactly what every stressed out, overwhelmed couple planning their own wedding needs: she's ORGANIZED AF + calm, cool and collected under pressure, and will put you at easy all along the way that she's got the nitty, gritty details under control. She genuinely cares about figuring out the best way to bring YOUR vision of your wedding to life, so you can enjoy every moment of it. You'll never have to worry that you don't know what's going on, as she's super communicative with everyone throughout the entire process. And she does all of this with a smile on her face and makes it all look effortless. She's a genuine friend + confidant, and someone you want on your team on the most important day of your life. Hire her! -

Hilary Sent on 07/12/2021Thank you Modern Rebel!
We are so thankful for Brittany, Amy, and the entire Modern Rebel team in helping to make our wedding the most perfect day we could imagine! We chose the month of coordination package which was the perfect amount of service for us. In the last month of planning as we began losing steam and energy right as the crucial final coordination steps were needed, Brittany swept in and took everything off our hands. We weren't sure at the beginning if we would even hire a planner as we felt we could do most of it ourselves, but it was the best decision we made! Brittany enabled us to fully enjoy our day and the weeks leading up to it. It was so reassuring to know that she had everything under control. Not only that, she was an absolute joy to work with and was so attentive, positive, and professional throughout the process and on the wedding day. Thank you to Brittany, Amy, and Modern Rebel for giving us the wedding of our dreams! -

Thank you Gina!!
Gina from Modern Rebel was an absolute dream. She was calm, organized, supportive, and so nice! She made the day go by flawlessly so that my wife and I did not have to worry about a single thing. She was consistently there at a moment's notice, yet somehow her presence was always subtle and unobtrusive. She anticipated all of our needs, and made us feel like royalty. Leading up to the wedding she was able to provide detailed information that helped enormously with logistics, but she never pressured us or made us feel nervous. I can't recommend Modern Rebel, and Gina specifically, enough. -

Eric Sent on 10/01/2024Excellent!
Molly from Modern Rebel was absolutely incredible in helping plan and execute our wedding. From the start, she was on top of every detail, including coordinating with all of our vendors. When we faced challenges with our cake vendor, Molly didn't hesitate to go above and beyond--offering to deliver the cake to the venue herself. Her dedication was remarkable.
On the day of the wedding, she and her team stepped up in ways we couldn't have imagined. We forgot a dress at the hotel, and she had it retrieved during the middle of the wedding without a hitch. Molly was endlessly patient with our friends and family, especially when it came to providing reminders (which our family needed quite a bit!). She handled all the aisle logistics like a pro, making sure everyone knew exactly where to stand and when to walk.
Her attention to detail was unmatched--something as small as ensuring our tablecloths were perfectly crisp didn't go unnoticed. She was incredibly flexible and solution-oriented, finding a better location for our seating chart and even improvising to pin up our aura sign when there was no table available.
One of the most impressive things was that at the end of the night, Molly remembered to gather all the items we needed to take home such as my wife's flower bouquet which we had forgotten to add to the list! Her thoughtfulness ensured nothing was left behind.
Molly's calm and friendly demeanor made the entire experience stress-free for us. We couldn't have asked for a better planner, and she truly made our day perfect. If you're looking for someone who goes above and beyond, Molly is your person! -

Annie Sent on 01/15/2023Party of a lifetime!
We worked with Molly from Modern Rebel for our month-of coordinator for our wedding. She was such a pleasure to work with and have alongside us on our wedding day. She helped us create our day-of timeline, and was seamlessly in the background on the day-of to make sure everything went smoothly with the schedule and with all of our other vendors. We were so impressed with how well paced our entire evening was, and we are so thankful for everything Molly did to ensure a smooth party where we didn’t have to worry about a thing. My husband and I were so in the moment the entire night which is everything you can hope for on such a special occasion. We cannot recommend working with Modern Rebel enough! -

Christine Sent on 06/17/2022Fantastic experience with Modern Rebel and Charlotte
We hired the Modern Rebel team for month-of coordination and some partial planning services -- since we started planning at the height of COVID, we needed some help finding our reception band and a second venue (for the "reception"/dance party portion of our wedding). Both were well worth the investment.
Amy helped with the partial planning services and she gave us several options for each vendor that hit the mark and that we would not have found ourselves, including the vendors we ultimately booked that were perfect for what we wanted.
Charlotte was our head coordinator and she was fantastic. She is clearly very experienced, communicative and flexible, so kind and lovely to work with, but firm when she needed to be (which is a must!). She made sure that things stayed true to our vision, but was happy to offer advice or suggestions. In the month leading up to the wedding (which I learned would be the most daunting and stressful planning period for me), she kept us on track and helped navigate the final steps of planning. One of many examples: we had some vendor schedule challenges pop up last minute, and Charlotte quickly removed me from the equation and handled it directly with the vendors -- I LOVED THIS. The feeling of totally letting go and having Charlotte 100% manage the day of was invaluable. I fully trusted Charlotte to do her thing and she did not disappoint - our wedding day was perfect! -

Chanterelle Sent on 05/08/2023Highly Recommend!
I am so glad we found Modern Rebel!! We hired them for day-of coordination, which included communication with our coordinator (Caitlin!! Our rock and our lifesaver!!!) for 30 days prior to our wedding, but the materials they provide to all of their couples was helpful through our entire planning process! They were the second vendor we booked after our venue, and I'm so glad because their welcome packet included a planning timeline that we treated like a BIBLE and a list of recommended vendors which we used to find like 90% of our vendors. Our respect for them and their process only grew once we started meeting with Caitlin 30 days out. Caitlin took the many different puzzle pieces that we had gathered and made them fit together so perfectly which was our biggest concern going into an event that was so much bigger than anything I or my partner had ever planned before. She took the time to familiarize herself with our needs and hopes for our big day in a way that made us feel so cared for and supported. Our wedding was so incredibly perfect and magical and a huge part of that was how smoothly it ran thanks to Caitlin and Modern Rebel. About a week before the wedding, I had a moment where I realized that I could stop being so super stressed, because I felt confident that we were in good hands and that all the little details were going to be taken care of. Being able to let go of that stress really made the days leading up to our wedding so much more enjoyable, and I'm so thankful for that. But perhaps the highest recommendation came from one the members of my bridal party, who is 1000% single and has been for a while, who by the end of the evening was demanding that Caitlin coordinate for his entirely hypothetical wedding to someone someday. Thank you so much to Caitlin and the entire MR team!! -

Chloe Sent on 10/15/2023The absolute best
Molly is a gift from the universe and made our day run so smoothly that I got to enjoy every moment! I might be the only bride in the world who didn't notice a single thing going wrong during their wedding– and I attribute that entirely to Molly and Shaine.
S/o for dealing with my my mother, traveling/swimming torrential flood on Friday, and getting us through so we could have the most magical day! We couldn't recommend Molly & the Modern Rebel team more. (And attached is a photo of me and Molly laughing about something to show how amazing she truly is!) -

Jenna Sent on 01/15/2022Best Wedding Coordinator!!
My wife & I originally hired Modern Rebel for a small dinner style wedding in June/2020. The restaurant did not have a coordinator, so we figured it was something we needed. I initially had a phone call with Cait in 2019 and loved her vibe, so we booked them. Fast forward to March of 2020, we cancelled our wedding. We originally rescheduled to October of 2020 which Modern Rebel accommodated without an issue. As we approached the summer of 2020, we realized we needed to push it an entire year, so we rescheduled to October 2021. Modern Rebel was so easy to work with and very flexible with changing the dates. I then learned that Cait was no longer at Modern Rebel and we would need a new coordinator. The email indicated a new coordinator would be in contact once it got closer. I started reading through the reviews again, and saw that so many people wrote amazing things about Britt Ward. I knew I wanted to request her and was hoping she was available for our new date. When I heard back that she was, I was so excited!
In around August of 2021, our invitations went out before our formal kick off coordination call. I emailed Britt to see if she could help me with the Google doc for vaccination cards, IDs, and the health info that our venue required. Britt immediately responded with the Google doc template and answered a ton of questions I had at that point.
Around this same time, the coordinator I absolutely loved at our wedding venue left. We started working with a new lady who seemed disorganized and I was very anxious and upset about the whole situation. I had everything worked out with the prior catering coordinator and I felt like I was starting over with trying to go through our selections and everything we agreed upon with a new lady only a few months before our wedding. We then had our kick off call with Britt for an entire hour and I shared all of my concerns with everything going on. I have never felt so reassured that things would go according to plan. Britt sent me over a ton of documents to fill out for the timeline of the day and also all of the decor we were bringing in, where we wanted it set up, if we wanted to take it home at the end of the night and so forth.
The timeline and decor documents were finalized and then shared with the entire vendor team for them to comment, provide load in and load out times, and so forth. Britt made sure all of the vendors were on the same page and knew exactly what they needed to do. A few weeks before the wedding I went into a full blown panic because the coordinator at the venue did not order the right linens or the right number of tables, and I started emailing Britt freaking out and she immediately called me. After we hung up, she emailed the venue right away explaining what we needed and also offered to have a phone call with them that week to ensure everyone was on the same page. She did speak with them that week and they went through everything. After the call she emailed me to let me know everything was okay and everything was ordered that we needed.
On the day of, Britt and her assistant Rachel arrived when we got there at 3pm. We were freaking out because there was slight drizzle on and off and then the forecast was saying it was going to rain right at the time of our ceremony. We made the decision to keep everything outside and we are so glad we did, because the weather held out! If anything went wrong the day of our wedding, I do not know about it. Britt handled everything perfectly. She was managing all the vendors and the decor and knew everything in and out. We noticed our calligrapher had a typo in one of the signs and Britt even found a gold pen in her bag in order to add in the missing letter. All I can say is our wedding would not have been what it was without Britt Ward. Hiring Modern Rebel and requesting Britt was the best thing I could have ever done. She is so personable and amazing at her job. Her attention to detail is unmatched and her organization is perfect. As a lesbian couple, Modern Rebel was the best choice we could have made. I also love that they donate 5% of their profits to an organization of our choice! -

Katia Sent on 11/03/2018Brittany = the best
Brittany was everything I could've hoped for and more. We hired Modern Rebel for a day of (month of) coordinator. First of all - the value. I do not think you're going to find a finer quality wedding coordinator for this value in New York City. In addition to some of my wedding guests letting us know after the fact how smoothly everything went, my photographer went out of his way to write a note about how amazing Brittany was to work with. He said she was one of the best he's ever dealt with. That gives some perspective. For us, we knew we were in great hands. We called Brittany and Rachel, her assistant, the A-team. It allowed us (and our parents) to breathe, and to really enjoy ourselves on our big day. That's worth everything. I'm so anal and was worried (before I found Modern Rebel) I wouldn't be able to let go and trust that everything would be work out. And I know that leading up to the big day you keep thinking of all the disaster scenarios. Brittany had us covered and then some. Everything flowed brilliantly. I couldn't be more grateful. HIRE BRITTANY IMMEDIATELY. WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR. STOP READING THIS REVIEW AND JUST DO IT.
