Alice Sent on 09/30/2025HIGHLY recommend!!
INCREDIBLE! Colleen was a dream to work with. Starting with our prep phone calls 6 weeks out, Colleen kept everything on track so I could actually enjoy the wedding planning process. She has a vast knowledge of experience, an eye for detail, and is completely unflappable. When my caterer showed up with one bar set up instead of two, she rearranged the layout on the fly to make everything work. She is a calming presence. I would not have been able to be so deeply present and enjoy my wedding so much without her. My wife and I agree this was the best money we spent. Hire her! :) -

Amy Sent on 06/02/2025Fabulous Wedding Planner!
From the moment we booked O'Neil Events, we knew we were in amazing hands. Colleen and her team were incredibly professional, attentive, and caring throughout the entire planning process. They worked efficiently to create an individualized and organized experience for us. Colleen connected with us regularly to ensure we had an effortless planning experience, and our day-of coordinator, Yvi, was simply phenomenal--she brought us appetizers and made sure we had a moment to ourselves when we really needed it. I cannot recommend Colleen and her team at O'Neil Events highly enough! -

I can't say enough about Colleen O'Neil and her team. I worked with Yvi and she was the most wonderful person to work with from start to finish. She was amazing on our wedding weekend and kept me calm and organized. She handled everything with ease and allowed me to enjoy our special day. I can't recommend the team enough, you won't be sorry for booking them! -

Elyse Sent on 06/10/2022Absolutely Recommend Yvi, Colleen, and O'Neil Events!
We had a great experience working with Yvi and Colleen at O’Neil Events! Colleen was more than willing to help and accommodate us when we made the decision to postpone our wedding reception due to COVID. She regularly reached out to offer assistance as we continued planning. Before our reception, Colleen introduced us to Yvi, our month-of coordinator. Yvi did an amazing job of getting caught up on all our contracts and plans. Yvi’s attention to detail in developing our timeline and all her suggestions were incredibly helpful. On the day of our event, Yvi was the reason everything went so smoothly. She helped with decorating, assisted other vendors during set up and breakdown, kept us all on schedule, handed out vendors payments and tips, and she literally stitched up one of the groomsman’s pants when they ripped! More than once my husband and I agreed that we don’t know how we could’ve managed without her. We absolutely recommend working with Yvi, Colleen and O’Neil Events! -

So helpful for both our COVID weddings!!
We are so happy to have had Colleen help us with our wedding planning, especially as we had to change plans a few times due to COVID. Colleen helped us plan and organize our small intimate wedding and dinner in October of 2020, and then our delayed reception in October of 2021. She helped us find vendors, finalized timelines, and handled all coordination between the venues and the vendors. Colleen kept everyone organized both leading up to the events and on the days of. We are so thankful that she had everything under control, and we could just relax and enjoy each day! -

Best Decision
Working with O’Neil Events, specifically Colleen and Yvi, was the best decision I made for my wedding. I thought I could get through the whole process without a wedding coordinator, but I am so happy I decided to work with Colleen and Yvi. They made everything easy, and went above and beyond to ensure my day was spectacular. Above all, they were the most efficient and excellent vendors I worked with throughout the whole planning process. I highly recommend choosing O’Neil Events! -

Lourdes Sent on 09/23/2021Best Vendor Decision!
At the end of our reception, my now husband went up to Brieanna, our wedding coordinator and told her, "I was hesitant about the decision to hire a wedding coordinator, but it was the best decision we could have made!" My husband doesn't endorse things easily so this is truly a glowing recommendation from him and I wholeheartedly agree.
Before we even hired her team, Colleen has always been super responsive and open to answering our questions. I met with her over the phone when I was searching for wedding coordinators and then did a follow-up call with my mom, since she was also super involved in the wedding planning. And this was all before we even hired Colleen.
Throughout the month from when we hired Colleen and when our coordination package officially started, Colleen would check in and be open to answering any questions we had as we navigated the ever changing rules and restrictions due to the pandemic.
About six weeks out, Brieanna was assigned to us as our coordinator and she got the ball rolling right off the bat. We had multiple phone meetings in the month leading up to the event to make sure that we were on the same page. She created such a comprehensive timeline for us and accommodated our last minute changes in the days leading up to the wedding. On the day of, I didn't have to worry for one second about coordinating our other vendors because Brieanna made sure everything ran smoothly. She set up all our DIY decor exactly as I envisioned. She even made sure to bring my husband and me food and drinks, which is so easy to forget when you get swept up in the excitement of the day. She stayed until the very end, which went later than we anticipated and made sure that all of our important keepsakes made it safely to our car and nothing was forgotten. If you're debating the value of a wedding coordinator, I would say you should 100% do it and you should hire Colleen and her team - best decision ever! -

I could not be more excited to share our incredible experience with O'Neil Events and Ariel in particular. From the outset, Ariel put us completely at ease of all the details (big and small) about our wedding day. She was calm, cool, and collected at every turn, was always thinking ahead, and had a plan for everything. Our family and friends are also still raving about what a gem she was every step of the way!
We had a few surprise factors on the day of: complete downpour, two flash mobs, a guest who wanted to propose, I fell out of the chair during the hora...the list goes on. Ariel was right there when we needed her and took care of everything. She made sure everyone was where they needed to be, on time, and made all the moving parts look seamless. Ariel, you made it all look easy and we can't thank you enough! You are a true gem! -
George Sent on 06/02/2018My wife and I were so glad to have hired O'Neil Events for our day-of-coordination. Our coordinator, Ariel, was fantastic from the first day we met to the end of our wedding. She was helpful in the small details of our wedding that we didn't think about. Ariel made the wedding less stressful for us by working with the vendors and the venue on the wedding details. and making sure she kept us on track with some of our tasks. She was a great person to provide assurance and support throughout the wedding process, even when were predicted to have snow on our wedding day. She would tell us, "Everything will be fine." And the wedding was very beautiful and successful with no problems. I know we would not have had a wonderful wedding and reception without her. Ariel was the best and I would recommend hiring her and O'Neil Events for any wedding coordination. It's worth the money! Trust me.

Sophia Sent on 09/19/2013Colleen O'Neil was by far the most amazing wedding coordinator I could have ever had! Months before my wedding she met with me several times to go over details for the ceremony and reception. We had an extremely complicated layout for the reception (cocktail hour, dinner & dancing all in 3 separate locations at our venue) and Colleen made the entire evening go flawless! I had more fun at my wedding than I could've dreamed of and that was because Colleen took care of every last detail and allowed me to enjoy my wedding day. She worked extremely well with all my vendors (florist, caterer, photog, videographer, venue, church etc) and I couldn't be more appreciative for all her hard work and dedication. She is one of the most reliable, detail oriented and trustworthy professionals I've worked with. She is a must for your wedding day! -
