Pamela made sure all the details were taken care of and made sure everything and everyone was on time! Pamela handled it all with a high level of professionalism, juggling all the day of details and timeline with excellent customer service and had such a positive attitude. She made sure everything ran smoothly, and she provided great support from start to finish. I would highly recommend Pamela! -

PDR Events truly made our wedding planning a 10/10 experience. Pamela assisted me with my bridal shower invitations, favors, colors, etc. and I cannot tell you how many compliments I received. Everyone was so impressed.
Pamela and her team made the wedding the most unforgettable day of our lives. From invitations to welcome bags, to decor and planning- Pamela and her team did an incredible job. Our day of coordinators, Casey and Laura, had the ENTIRE DAY under control and didn't seem to break a sweat! I can't express how much I appreciated their help- talking me through any moments of nerves or stress, making sure I had apps and water during cocktail hour and keeping our entire wedding party (15 people and a 2-year-old!) in line.
I would recommend Pamela and her team over and over - 10/10 service! Thank you so much! -

Pamela at New England Invitations helped my husband and I navigate all our options for our wedding invitations. Trust me, there are SO many options to choose from. I explained my vision and she ran with it. She recommended colors, fonts and paper types. She put together absolutely stunning invitations-classy and romantic. She made something that could have been stressful and overwhelming and made it a fun experience. Pamela was also accommodating; I am from out of state and she really worked with me to find a date and time that worked with me. I had our first meeting with my parents, my husband and myself and we laughed and told stories while picking all of our options.
She provided proofs and a quick turnaround. I was stunned by the beauty of the final product, they were perfect. She also did our name cards, I was very happy with this as well. The quality, professionalism, and final products were everything I could have hoped for. I HIGHLY recommend them.

My mom and I originally went to meet Pamela at her invitation company in East Greenwhich, RI to order my wedding invitations. We left that appointment with gorgeous, classic invitations AND wedding planner information. We fell in love with Pamela’s personality, passion, and professionalism in our first meeting and were ecstatic to learn she was involved with wedding planning too. We hired Pamela to be our day of wedding coordinator for my September Newport wedding and my ONLY regret is not hiring Pamela and PDR events sooner to help with more of the process!!
From the moment I asked Pamela to be my day of coordinator, which was well before the day of, Pamela was extremely helpful. She was always one step of the game and had the best personality to work with... which is wonderful during what can be a very stressful planning time.
I can’t say enough good things about Pamela. She was extremely responsive, had an answer to every question, quick on her feet to solve “problems” before they became problems, very attentive to detail, honest, supportive, organized, and extremely knowledgeable in her field. She is an absolute pleasure to be around and it felt like I’d known her for years!
You cannot go wrong with hiring PDR Events for your big day. Pamela and her team will help make your special day with all the perfect little details possible, and with very little stress and work from your end. If you’re considering getting a planner to help with your wedding, don’t think about it for one more day! Pamela is the answer to all of your prayers! From one bride to another, Pamela is the one who will make all of your wedding dreams come true. -

Lauren Sent on 11/19/2018Best Decision Ever!
Hiring Pamela to plan my October 2018 wedding was one of the BEST decisions I made for my wedding. Pamela is more than just a wedding planner, she was my go to person for EVERYTHING during the year and half of planning. I seriously could have not gone through this process without her - she was a god sent!
We hired Pamela as our full service wedding planner for our Rosecliff wedding in October 2018 and she was instrumental in executing all of the details both big and small to make our day happen. Not only did she have amazing relationships with all of our vendors, she also brought years experience, organization, and a keen eye for detail that really helped bring my vision to life.
We also used Pamela's invitation company, New England Invitations, for all of our paper and was extremely happy with the final product. In fact, several people are still commenting on how how beautiful our invites were!
As for the day of coordination, I cannot even begin to summarize how thankful I am that Pamela was there. She completely took the reins so that I could fully relax and truly ENJOY my wedding day. Everything was executed perfectly and we had several positive compliments from our families and wedding party who loved her professionalism and positive attitude. She literally thinks of everything so you don't have to. For example, my bustle had broken but thankfully Pamela had safety pins and fix it quickly so I could go back to dancing.
Wedding planning can be a very overwhelming and stressful time but Pamela takes all of that away and truly lets you enjoy the experience. If you are thinking about hiring Pamela to plan your next wedding you will not regret it ! -

Stephanie Sent on 11/11/2018Best & Easiest Decision for our Wedding
Pamela was the best decision we made for our wedding. We had a destination wedding so we knew we needed extra help in staying organized and getting everything done. Pamela had the best recommendations for vendors, was so easy to work with, fun, and just a good person. When planning one of the most important events in your life it is a huge fear that you will pick the wrong people to help support and guide you to the conclusion. Our wedding was to not only be a celebration of our love, but also a celebration of our love for our friends and family that joined us on the day. So choosing a wedding planner to manage and act as "conductor" of sorts was a major concern for us. On top of this we needed to have someone that we got along with while also trusting them to be tough when it was necessary. Pam was all of those things and more. She was always kind, always positive, but she was also straight to the point. Not only were we extremely happy with all of the suggestions she made from the caterer to the flowers to the photographers to so many other things, but we also had a great time with her the whole time. She was warm and friendly while still being firm and decisive when things needed to get done. The whole process from start to finish was made easy with Pam on our side, and the wedding day was perfect and completely stress-free. This bride can stress about everything and I didn’t stress about anything that day and also couldn’t imagine it being more perfect than it was. Everything went seamlessly and this was no doubt due to Pamela (and our other amazing vendors whom she recommended.) We plan to come back to visit Newport on a yearly basis, and we will be having dinner and drinks with Pam each time that she will join us. She not only made our wedding day amazing, but she also made two new friends. -
Jennifer Sent on 12/26/2017Pamela from pdr events is not just a wedding planner - she is my FAIRY GODMOTHER!
My wedding was everything I dreamed of and more - elegant, classy, sophisticated – perfect in every way. Pamela made my vision a reality, and it was better than I even imagined.
I have to confess that when I first got engaged, I thought I could save some money by planning my wedding myself. I was so naïve! The stress was crippling – not to mention I live 1,000 miles away from my destination wedding in Newport, Rhode Island.
Step in Pamela to save the day. Pamela has an immaculate eye for detail and an encouraging can-do attitude. Her knowledge and wisdom of the business is extraordinary, and she is beloved by everyone we encountered in the New England wedding circuit.
Pamela is DEPENDABLE, professional, impeccably organized, friendly, assertive, and has flawless taste. She set us up with New England’s best catering, flowers, invitations, transportation, hair and makeup, band, photographer – but appreciated we had a budget and advised honestly on what was worth the money and what wasn’t. While I was at my day job, she handled all meetings and logistics. The big day mapped out down to the minute – all I had to do was relax and have fun!
But most important – Pamela was also a friend. She answered my frantic, 3AM, bridezilla emails by the time I woke up in the morning. She was a shoulder to lean on and wasn’t afraid to voice her opinion when I needed guidance. She made me feel special, as though her world revolved around me during all those months of planning.
To all the brides out there – pdr events made all my wedding dreams come true! Thank you Pamela! -

Kristine Sent on 12/08/2017Pamela was amazing. I hired her for partial planning and I really wish I hired her for full planning. I was planning a Newport wedding from NJ, and Pamela recommended the most amazing vendors from a photographer, to florist to rehearsal dinner location. She understood my vision and helped us execute it with her design.
We had our wedding at The Newport Beach House which was perfect. Pamela helped us plan how to use the whole space and everything was perfect.
I truly can't imagine what our wedding day would have been like without Pamela. She was there every step of the way from checking in with us at the salon to the very end of the night. There were so many details she made sure happened on the wedding day including getting everything back to our suite at the end of the night. Having her and her awesome assistant by our side allowed us to truly enjoy our wedding day - thank you pamela! -

Kristen Sent on 09/08/2015I am convinced I could not have gotten through the wedding planning process without Pamela. There are so many logistical aspects to a wedding that I needed help with, and Pamela is a professional who knows everything and put my worried mind at ease. I wanted a Great Gatsby themed wedding, and she knew all the right vendors to go to in order to make my dream a reality. She is an excellent communicator, and gives the best advice. She also is familiar with so many wedding venues and vendors, so she knows exactly what you need and what to ask for.
I never thought I would need a wedding planner, and looking back it was the best decision I made. My wedding day was perfect, and exactly how I’d dreamed it would be, and it’s all thanks to Pamela. When I walked around the venue on my wedding day I was amazed that everything had come to life in exactly how I’d envisioned it. She is amazing, and I highly recommend hiring her!! -

Kerrin Sent on 11/03/2014Pamela went above and beyond to make sure each detail was confirmed and double-checked so our day would run smoothly. She was constantly available for me in the planning and decision-making process whether months out or just days before the wedding. Her experience, relationships with quality vendors, and willingness to really receive my ideas made her someone I could easily create a vision with. Moreover, she was immeasurably valuable on the day of for helping to not only orchestrate the flow of the day as we had planned, but to manage surprise needs of guests as well as to keep the momentum of the events moving from prep to post-party. I am a very organized person with a passion for event planning and people who know me were surprised that I wanted to hire a planner. I am SO glad I did and thankful to Pamela for helping to create one of the best days for our families. -

Rajib Sent on 08/09/2011Pamela D'Orsi Ryan provided wedding planning services for us for our wedding at the Glen Manor House on July 9, 2011. Frankly, we could not have pulled it off without her, and the event itself was everything we could have imagined. We owe a huge debt of gratitude to Pamela. We chose her because we liked her can-do attitude and her willingness to think outside the box. We were right about that, but what you can't tell in an interview, and what we learned, is how great she is an individual. She is so thoughtful and attentive that by the end, even though we were very picky, we were just turning things over to her because we knew she would understand what we wanted without us having to describe it. She was invaluable in helping us pick vendors, figure out whether costs were reasonable, giving advice on tough decisions (including easy decisions that seemed tough at the time) and just generally keeping us calm. She was less expensive than the other planners we interviewed, which made her services a great value, but she was so good that we ended up paying her a bonus that brought the overall fees in line with what others were quoting. And we still underpaid, given how great she was. Hire Pam, check that off your to-do list, and thank us later.
