Aleen Sent on 01/01/2024Amazing experience for a big desi wedding
I had a 3 day wedding that went perfectly because of Adrienne and her wonderful team. She was so eager to learn about the culture and details of how a traditional Punjabi wedding goes. We had planned our nikkah, mendhi and barrat with redefined elegance and they all came out amazing while remaining different. I know I was not an easy bride to work with with all the specific details with a high guest count but Adrienne made sure that everything ran smoothly through each process from finding venues to vendors. Wedding planning is never easy but I didn’t have to stress knowing that so many details from vendors to decor to venues were being handled. I just needed to tell her what I wanted and it was done. Adrienne had contacts that provided things like a 360 Photo Booth, dhol players, DJ, dessert tables, fireworks and so much more that made the events memorable for the guests! I am so thankful for working with redefined elegance because we got the big desi dream luxury wedding while it remained fun! I will always recommend her for events and weddings! -

I had the pleasure of working with Redefined Elegance Event Planners, and I must say they exceeded all my expectations. One particular highlight was the two full printed wrap dance floors they worked on with me. It was absolutely stunning and added a touch of elegance to the entire venue.
From the initial consultation to the final execution, the team at Redefined Elegance demonstrated professionalism and attention to detail. They truly understood what I was envisioning. Both dance floor designs were unique and eye catching, leaving all the guests in awe.
Not only did Redefined Elegance deliver exceptional quality, but they also made the entire process enjoyable. Their friendly and accommodating nature made it a pleasure to work with them. They were responsive to my needs and went above and beyond to ensure that everything was perfect.
I highly recommend Redefined Elegance Event Planners to anyone looking for top-notch event planning services. Their ability to transform ideas into reality is truly remarkable. Thank you, Redefined Elegance, for making my experience unforgettable! -

Sheila Sent on 01/09/2023Attentive & Protective Wedding Planner
I've known Adrienne, owner of Redefined Elegance, for 3 years now. Adrienne has many high quality connections which she has carefully developed to benefit her clients. If the relationship is outside of the event planning realm and of value to her couples, she facilities a meeting between her connection and her clients. But, she doesn't stop there. She is present at an initial consultation via Zoom to introduce everyone. Once the meeting is concluded, Adrienne stays on with her clients to see how they felt about the vendor and, if they agree that vendor will benefit them, suggests how to best follow up.
I recently had the opportunity to collaborate with her for a couple who desired help with their honeymoon planning. I saw this attentive service in action and was very impressed. Not only is she a consummate professional, but also is very protective of her clients, having their best interests at heart.
If you want an event/wedding planner who is very protective of you and who you know has your best interests at heart, don't hesitate to schedule a complimentary consultation with Redefined Elegance. -

Adrienne, the director and owner of Redefined Elegance, has been nothing short of heaven sent. My fiancé and I call her the Mary Poppins of Wedding Planning as she never fails to have just the right resource, word of advice or connection that we need. My fiancé and I are planning a destination wedding in CT (his home state) as we both met traveling for work. When our worlds met and we got engaged, we knew there was no way we could pull our wedding off without a planner. Adrienne has made it her mission to be inclusive and respectful of both our cultures (including aspects of southern Black American and Ghanaian) and our wishes. Communication is very important to us so we love that she is prompt at getting back with us on every detail. What so many has told us would be stressful, has been stress free because of Redefined Elegance. We can’t wait for our wedding day! -

Simply amazing
My name is Sarah and my husband Elando we're incredibly fortunate to find Adrienne and her team. We thought that we could pull this off on our own…WRONG! We were married on the 73rd anniversary of my grandparents. They taught by example of what it is to be in a marriage with the longevity as them we were expecting our first child and my hormones all over the place which didn't help Adrienne took care of everything she had her Elegant superhero cape and turned our wedding into a truly magical day! Adrienne treated everybody like family she made us feel welcome and kept us up to speed on everything. Adrienne thank you and magnificent team for your care, patience, and expertise you are truly the best of the best we give her 10 stars. -

Mother of the Bride
Adrienne was a gift from God. We had started planning the wedding prior to meeting Adrienne. We were going to do this on our own. Maybe some “can” but we couldn’t. There were many nuances that we knew nothing about. I found Redefined Elegance, at a point in time when I needed to leave town. One of my very best friends / sister of over 50+ years was in her last stages of life with cancer. I had spoken to Adrienne who made made me comfortable and she assured me “no need to worry about here, go and be with your girlfriend” Normally not a trusting person but I trusted her. I get back after five days and she really had everything under control. She was working with a distraught, emotional mom, and a pregnant bride with hormones on steroids and just took the ball and ran. SHE PLANNED!! Rehearsal day arrives and found out that my girlfriend died. Now, how does one deal with the wedding of your baby, your only daughter, and the death of a lifetime friend? No Idea
the rehearsal went well and dinner at the Black Angus Steakhouse was wonderful, l noticed on a few occasions, Adrienne watching me. I knew nothing of this woman nor did she of me but there was a connection. Day of the wedding, I’m numb. OK now cut to the chase, Adrienne and her team had this wedding going. I will tell you that there was no issue at all that night! It was so smooth that I was actually having a wonderful time. I also forgot everything about the pain and just enjoyed. Watching new beautiful memories for a lifetime. Adrienne, in my opinion is the most professional, organized, caring individual I’ve been fortunate enough to have in my life. My baby’s wedding…. I’ve been told by friends and family that it was one of the best weddings they had ever attended. I AGREED! As I said in the beginning…… she was a
“Gift from God”! You will not regret using her company!!

Jose Sent on 07/17/2021So Thankful to Redefined Elegance!!!
It is hard to summarize into words the AMAZING job that Adrienne Johnson and Redefined Elegance did on our dream beachfront wedding.
Every single detail that I envisioned and discussed with you was brought to life by your acute attention to detail and unwavering commitment to our vision.
When we first met, I believed I didn't "need' a Wedding Planner as I possess over 20 years Event Planning & Catering experience. Luckily, I listened to my then soon to be bride!!!
I could NOT have planned and executed this wedding with anywhere near the level of professionalism and acumen that Redefined Elegance provided.
You gave the same care and attention to the big ticket items as you did to the smallest peculiar details that made this day uniquely special to us and we are forever indebted.
This was a very very special moment for us and you left no stone unturned in insuring this day was everything we dreamed of.
Additionally, your staff was above and beyond wonderful in supporting us with all of the nuances we encountered along the way.
I'd be remiss to mention that throughout this wedding planning process, my then finance and I endured family tragedies and other personal occurrences that would have made it impossible for us to carry through with all these responsibilities ourselves. You not only guided us through this period but worked magic with our vendors to gain us the flexibility we so desperately needed.
Again and again...... we are forever indebted to you!!!
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!!!!
WE LOVE YOU!!!!!!! -

Redefined Elegance- Adrienne Johnson and her team were the best. She is patience, flexible and available at all times.

She ensured everything ran smooth! I highly recommended Adrienne Johnson -

Adrienne was amazing from start to finish! Our wedding was multicultural and had many request. She was personable and very easy to communicate with. She was very dependable, organized and informative. We never had to worry about anything because she ensured it was already handled. During a pandemic wedding planning can become even more stressful and rest assured we had no worries working with Adrienne. She also has great connections to achieve your dream wedding. If your looking for a real wedding planner that actually cares about her clients, look no further you've found her. -

Adrienne has been a pleasure to work with. Our Indian-American wedding involved a number of complexities and she navigated each with ease. From knowledge of vendors in the area to managing the contracting process with them, Adrienne has done a tremendous job. She has made the wedding planning process considerably less stressful and we can't imagine having planned our wedding without her. Bravo! -

Adrienne was simply amazing. She worked with us and our needs up until the day of the wedding. We really liked her professionalism and how organized everything was. EVERY single detail was taken care of, and we mean EVERY single detail. It is really impressive how knowledgeable Adrienne is and, all the resources she has. We loved our wedding, she definitely did a great job, and at the end of the she was always available for a quick change of plans, or had a great idea under her sleeve.

“My wedding wouldn’t have come together if I hadn’t hired Adrienne of Redefined Elegance. To just say she went above and beyond wouldn’t describe what she did for my wedding. Adrienne was available to meet with me whenever I needed and made sure everything was absolutely perfect. My wedding reception was at City Hall in Hartford and had many different vendors and moving parts. She was not only my coordinator/planner but also my legal support and my biggest advocate/fighter. She made sure every vendor we contacted was giving me the best rates and services. When I look back all the purchases within my wedding budget. The services of Redefined Elegance were priceless. I will forever be grateful!” -

Adrianne has been the best wedding planner she could be to my fiancé and I, she has gone above and beyond for us. All I had to do was tell her what my vision was and she made it happen, the best part was that she made it affordable for us. We appreciate everything she has done for us. We got extremely lucky to have such an amazing wedding planner to help us with our wedding. Not only is she a great wedding planner but she is also a great person. -

The Dreamweaver of Weddings
Hiring Adrienne as our wedding planner was without a doubt one of the best decisions we made when planning our wedding. From the minute we embarked on this journey she guided the ship every step of the way ensuring our day was exactly what we envisioned. Adrienne is an incredibe professional and an absolute pleasure to work with. Her office provided us with a great space to meet and work towards our vision as well as providing us a central location to meet with potential vendors. She made sure to work within our overall budget and would often check in on progress keeping us on task with clear deadlines and reliable advice during impasses. She setup and attended all our meetings and guiding us through every step of the process; venue selection, dresses and tuxes, florists, caterers, DJs, photographers, hotels, graphic designers and printers. Her exceptional organizational skills and her expertise in creating and reviewing vendor contracts really kept our mind at ease. Her experience in event planning and her established connections to a network of trusted professionals made it easy to choose the perfect vendors that fit are particular needs. She managed everything, not just on the wedding day, but also the rehearsal dinner, day after brunch, and all the other accompany festivities. She helped us with the overall decor and even added in thoughtful extra touches that added to our special day. We would highly recommend her to anyone planning a wedding or any other event, she made our dream come true and we cannot thank her enough for everything she did for us. -

Ishrat Sent on 10/07/2024Worst wedding planner I could imagine
I do not have the words to say how miserably she failed us on the wedding day. The only reason things even happened as scheduled is bc all the other vendors did what they were supposed to do and bc I was fully involved in all the planning. She was MIA for 6 hours. No response to texts or phone calls. We had fireworks planned for the evening. The fire department came out for a final review , per routine. She made it sound like she was dealing with the biggest emergency on the planet. All the seating arrangements were a mess . The garlands and drinks for reception of the grooms family went missing. Papers given to her staff went missing. She had told us she would have 5 staff. We saw no one but her and she was hiding out. My son and nephews were running around in the heat trying to find all the things she was supposed to have ready for us. She couldn’t even get the spelling of the brides name correct 3 days before the wedding. I could go on and on. I could not even talk about her for 1 month. I purposely waited more than 2 months so I could write a calm review. Stay away from her. I would not hire her to organize anything
