Wedding planning is a remarkably complicated management task. It requires a wide range of skills -- attention to detail, vendor and stakeholder management, financial planning, and a keen design sense. Julie has these in spades. If you are planning a wedding in New England we highly recommend Julie. She was simply a pleasure to work with. Our wedding was amazing – it was fun and beautiful and low-stress. It was exactly what we wanted and exactly what we envisioned. Julie pulled it off beautifully and working with her for months through the process was a whole lot of fun. We are so glad we found Julie – she is a pro and a pleasure to work with.
Julie was always available to work with us on our schedule. She made time on nights and weekends. She would always take our calls or answer our texts. Somehow, despite her busy schedule, she made us feel as though we we were her only clients.
There are three stages to wedding planning – the design/planning stage, the home stretch, and the actual wedding day. Julie was brilliant in all three stages. Here’s why:
I. The Planning Stage
We were immediately struck by Julie’s attention to detail, her range of connections in the industry and her knowledge of the process. Julie knew the questions to ask us so that she could help us design and plan the perfect wedding.
Julie was able to connect us to a range of wonderful vendors that fit our style, vision, and budget. She sat on every call, knew what questions to ask the vendors (and what questions to ask us) and went through every contract we signed. I am a lawyer and I was incredibly impressed with Julie’s ability to drill down on key contract terms and ask the right questions of each vendor.
Her organizational spreadsheet was incredible. It kept us on task and on budget. We probably needed more management than most, and Julie managed us beautifully.
Julie is much more than an organizational powerhouse. We thought she was an excellent designer. She did a beautiful job with our mood board and had so many fun design ideas that we would never have thought of ourselves. She was indispensable in helping pick our table design and florals. She has loads of experience and design sense. It shows.
II. The Final Stretch
Julie really shined down the stretch. When vendors were being difficult she just handled them. She worked with us and all our vendors to create the perfect timeline so that everything would go exactly according to plan (it did). She coordinated with everyone. She made what could have been a stressful time a lot of fun
III. The Wedding Day
The wedding day went perfectly, in large part due to Julie. She coordinated everything and did all the behind the scenes work so our day was stress free and perfect. Because of Julie’s hard work there were no surprises. There was nothing to stress about.

Thank you for this incredibly heartfelt review of my planning and design services for your and Rachel's wedding day! I very much enjoyed our time together, and the laughs over the silly (or crazy) things our Golden Retriever's were doing! I think Oscar & Roscoe might be kindred spirits! Your wedding day was not only stunning, but so much fun! Thank you for trusting me to guide you through the planning and design process! Wishing you and Rachel all the best!

The MOST Amazing Wedding Planner
I honestly don't even know where to start - Julie was amazing. From the moment I met her, I formed a connection with the way she handled herself, personality and professionalism. I immediately booked her full-service package and went right into planning. She attended venue tours with us, set up numerous Zoom interviews with vendors and always provided an updated budget as booking took place. The connections she has from years of wedding planning is invaluable and led to the best vendor team for the big day. Julie always made sure to check-in on me and ask if I had any concerns (rarely did). Hiring Julie allowed me to truly enjoy the wedding process and gave me SUCH peace of mind that everything would be executed flawlessly. Fast forward to the big day and it was nothing short of excellent. Unfortunately, it ended up raining but Julie handled all coordination to ensure I got my outdoor pictures! I cannot thank Julie enough and I hope everyone who reads this review makes a consultation appointment with her!

The best wedding planner!
We had the pleasure of working with Julie Riley at Something Bleu for our December 2022 wedding at The Newbury and we truly cannot recommend Julie enough. Any couple reading this should immediately reach out to Julie to see if she’s available for your wedding—she is just that great! Julie is super experienced, has tremendous industry knowledge, and was fantastic at every step of our planning process: from sourcing vendors and attending vendor meetings with us, to guiding us through food and beverage selections, to the aesthetics design of our ceremony and reception, to working with the venue at every step of the way, and much, much more. On the day of our wedding, Julie and her assistant Mallory were absolutely incredible. They attended to everything--from the big tasks, like vendor load-ins and set-up, to the tiny details, like holding my lip gloss or grabbing waters for the bridal party during photos--in a way that allowed us (and our families and bridal party) to relax and enjoy the day with no stress. Aside from being superbly competent and skilled at her job, Julie is also a caring person who we genuinely enjoyed getting to know over the past several months! Julie has a great sense of humor and was also a calming force for us during the planning process. Perhaps the best testament to how impressed we were with Julie is the fact that, after hearing us rave about our experience with Julie over the past year, my sister and her fiancé decided to hire Julie for their upcoming fall wedding! We're looking forward to seeing Julie put together yet another beautiful event and are so happy we found her!
Something Bleu Wedding & Event Planning's reply:
Thank you so much for your kind words about my services! I enjoyed working with you and Harrison so much over the past year to plan and design a truly beautiful wedding celebration! I am so excited to be working with your sister and future brother in law for their Boston wedding next September! Happy New Year and see you soon!

Wedding planner of dreams!
We hired Julie about 6 months before our wedding, because we realized we were in way over our heads. We booked her for the partial planning package, and even though she officially started 8 weeks before the wedding, she sent over some questionnaires for us to fill out ahead of time that were immensely helpful, as they prepared information for our other vendors as well. Julie was exactly what we needed. She reminded us of little details we might need, and when we might need them. She organized all of our day-of items. She created a custom timeline for us and sent to all of our vendors, so I didn't have to coordinate with those other vendors, which was easily one of the best things she did for us. She was available for all of my crazy questions, and when the day came, I knew there wasn't a single thing I needed to worry about. My husband and I couldn't be happier to have hired Julie when we did, and would highly recommend her for a perfect wedding day. I only wish I had hired her earlier!

Best wedding planner!
Hiring Julie was the best decision I made! You never realize how much detail goes into planning a wedding until you start. Julie helped me plan and design my dream wedding. One that everyone is still raving about months later. I had so many design ideas and Julie was there to help execute them to a tee! She went above and beyond by having her husband customize a beer & champagne wall for my cocktail hour and a gorgeous greenery wall for my reception/photobooth space! Months leading up to my wedding Julie was the point person for all vendors and I can’t stress how helpful it was! I’m the biggest stress case and she was able to set my mind at ease. Days leading up to my wedding, Julie had a slight back injury and it DID NOT stop her from running a smooth rehearsal and wedding. I swear she’s Wonder Woman! If anything did happen behind the scenes I wouldn’t even know because she takes charge and makes sure you can be present for your special day. Honestly, what planner extends your cocktail hour for you because you’re running late??? Julie….Hire her, you won’t regret it!

An incredible asset to my daughter's wedding!
From start to finish, Julie of Something Bleu was an incredible help throughout the planning process for my daughter's wedding. She made us instantly feel at ease and her positive, can-do attitude was so helpful and very much appreciated. She graciously navigated any bumps in the road and seamlessly orchestrated the wedding day which was a beautiful and personal celebration for my daughter and our family. We couldn't be more thankful for her help and would highly recommend her to anyone getting married in the Northeast.

Definitely one of the best decisions we made!
Julie was great to work with from the beginning: straightforward, practical, and bringing her in early really paid off in the last couple months when all the little detail questions started to hit. Thanks to her work coordinating all vendors (even a late addition we hadn't initially planned for, who was a little tough to work with) so thoroughly in advance, we had a beautiful, absolutely carefree wedding day, when we were able to just focus on each other and our guests! (Despite a last-minute obstacle, which she handled INCREDIBLY professionally and swiftly!) She dealt with ensuring everyone on our vendor team was insured, vaccinated, understood what we were going for, and showed up when needed - as busy as the last month felt, I knew with her I wouldn't have to lift a finger regarding all the vendors. She really worked to understand my priorities and helped me balance staying involved and making all the fun decisions that go into the wedding day, while not allowing the planning to completely take over my life. I'm so grateful to have had her as a support and sounding board!

If we could give 6 stars, we would
It feels impossible to write a review for Julie that can adequately describe our gratitude for her. The best way to characterize her role would be to call her the conductor of our wedding. She guided us through the 18+ month process with expertise and professionalism, but also with creativity, flexibility and warmth.
As is likely true for most people planning their weddings, a lot of “life stuff” happened in the months between booking venue and the big day. Julie helped us prioritize urgent vs non-urgent tasks and allowed us to direct our energy towards only the most critical things when it was in short supply. When our lives slowed down, she was there to chat with us for hours about our vision and always had great ideas on how to bring it to life.
I addition to her personal skills, Julie’s relationships with other vendors were critical for us. She found our DJ, photographer and florist (among other vendors), all of whom were incredibly talented and within our budget. I don't think that it would be a stretch to say that she assembled a Dream Team. This is not something that we thought a lot about when starting to plan, but by the wedding day it was clearly a very critical component for success.
We should say that our wedding was literally perfect in every way, in large part because Julie orchestrated the event with grace and skill. By the end of the process, she felt more like a friend than a vendor. Were we to do it all again, Julie would be our first call!! We feel so lucky to have found her and would recommend her to every couple looking for a planner.

Could not more highly recommend SomethingBleu
Words are insufficient to describe how impressed and appreciative we are of the truly exceptional job Julie Riley did as our two-month planner and day-of coordinator.
After months of handling the planning myself, with much frustration and disappointment, it was hard to believe that anyone would come in and pull everything together. I was so glad to be proven wrong.
From our first meeting to begin the two-month coverage, I could see how organized, knowledgeable, and experienced Julie was. She quickly not only gained, but truly earned my trust, showing she would go above and beyond in ensuring we had the very best experience possible. All tasks were handled quickly and expertly, and always to my wishes. Not only was the work done well and right, but with a level of thoughtfulness that made me feel like I was her only client, though I knew she had many others to juggle.
When it was time for the wedding, Julie handled every aspect of the day with poise, dedication, and expertise. She seemed to be in all places at once, making sure everything ran smoothly despite the many obstacles thrown at her. She not only did her own part, but fixed mistakes on the part of others which would otherwise have been disastrous. Without a doubt, she was the hero of the day, and made sure the wedding was not just wonderful for us, but for all our guests.
I could not recommend Julie more highly or have better things to say about her, both as a person and a professional. My only regret is not hiring her sooner!

Best Decision We Made!
It's hard to put into words how grateful we are to have worked with Julie. In the beginning of the wedding process, we were overwhelmed and didn't know where to begin. From the first day we met Julie, the wedding planning got a whole lot easier. From the first day working with Julie, to our wedding day, we felt as if we were the only wedding she was planning. That's how personal, and organized Julie is.
We always say "the best decision we ever made was hiring Julie". Not only is she kind and patient but the relationships she has with vendors are priceless. There were more wedding's this year than ever before and it felt nearly impossible to find vendors who we loved AND had our available date. Julie made sure we had all the necessary information to move quickly, and a list of other vendors as a backup. Julie's communication skills and attention to detail are immeasurable. Her weekly emails helped us stay organized, and on top of necessary payments, updates on budgeting, where we could splurge a bit, where we could save etc. If I could hire Julie to run my day to day life, I would lol
We did not have the easiest time with our wedding venue in terms of their process or communication. Julie advocated for us, dug into the details, asked the hard questions, had some difficult conversations and assured us that no matter what, it would run smoothly. Our wedding day could not have gone better. Julie and her team were absolute rockstars.
We are forever grateful for Julie!

Hiring Something Bleu for our wedding was our best decision!
When we first booked our wedding venue and learned it came with an on-site event coordinator, we thought we wouldn't need to hire a separate planner. Then the reality of wedding planning hit us - it's a lot of sending emails, managing vendor communications, and strategic timeline building. None of this was work our on-site coordinator was contracted to help with, and it started to become overwhelming, especially as we planned our wedding from out-of-state and dealing with covid.
The best decision we made was to book Julie of Something Bleu to essentially 'project manage' the two months leading up to our wedding and be there to support us on the day-of. Knowing she was there to answer questions, create our schedule, and guide us through the decision making process took so much pressure off the final months leading up to the big day. And on the day-of, she was the one who made every detail, big and small, run smoothly. It really was thanks to Julie that my fiancé, our families and I were able to relax and enjoy the day. I can't recommend her enough!

Simply The Best!
As the father of the bride I was so impressed with Julie’s professionalism and her attention to detail. She has a kind and calm demeanor. It is easy to see that she has years of experience. She was open to help whenever needed. She is organized, patient and efficient.
The proof of her planning was a perfect wedding!
I highly recommend Julie from Something Bleu Wedding and Event Planning. She has the ability to make wedding dreams come true! Thank you so much Julie for the perfect wedding.

The ultimate event manager
We used Julie for the last few months of plan ing and coordination. Julie was absolutely phenomenal and ensured a smooth wedding day from start to finish. We had multiple issues to address the week of the wedding, such as, protests where our photos were scheduled to take place and a road closure where our ceremony was being held. Julie to the rescue! Her attention to detail, time management, and calming nature is truly unmatched. I said multiple times the day of our wedding that I couldn’t imagine not having her as a part of our day. We would use Julie 100 times over! My only regret, not having her plan our entire wedding!

Julie is Amazing!!!
We got married in Salem, MA on 8.28.21 in a backyard private estate wedding and hired Julie as our day of coordinator. Julie was fantastic!!! She is extremely knowledgeable and gave us such useful information and recommendations during the planning process. She was so helpful leading up to our big day and took over all the communication with our vendors. She is extremely organized and created the most perfectly detailed timeline of the day. She worked with all our vendors and made sure they knew exactly when to arrive and what to do. We felt so comfortable and at ease the day of our wedding knowing Julie was taking care of everything. She was also so hands on in helping set up all our table arrangements and decorations. We wouldn’t have been able to pull off our wedding day without her. On top of being amazing and a total pro at her profession, she was so sweet and lovely to work with. Definitely recommend!!!

Amazing planner!!
I really don’t even know where to begin with how fantastic Julie was at helping execute my dream wedding! We essentially had to build it from the ground up which meant that she coordinated with SO many vendors to keep everything together. There were so many times my mom and I would think of something to ask a specific vendor and when we contacted Julie, she was already several steps ahead of us! There is absolutely no way any of us could have enjoyed the wedding the way we did without Julie working tirelessly in the previous months and especially the weeks, days and hours leading up to the event (I’m talking like 18 hours per day)! She even helped me do a lightening fast change into my second dress just so I could get more dancing time! My advice to any bride is to trust that Julie’s above and beyond attention to detail will result in your wedding dreams coming true so you can sit back and soak up your magical day! Truly do not know how we could have done it without her! She’s stored in my phone as “Stress- reliever in chief” hopefully that gives you an idea of what she accomplished for me and my family!

Something Bleu made my wedding possible
Julie was a life / wedding saver. She stepped in about a month from the wedding. She picked right up going over all of our contracts, contacting vendors to get more information, scheduling multiple calls and a site visit with us to get aligned with what we wanted, needed, and what we had. Her communication and professionalism is incredible. I always felt like her only client, even though I knew she was managing multiple jobs at the same time. She made me feel confident that we were in good shape and had thought of everything. She has a ton of resources for preparation lists, tipping guides, and just experience and guidance that she can provide. The day of the wedding, I was able to relax and get prepped with no interruptions or issues. Julie handled all of the issues with the designated individuals to ensure that our day was seamless and stress free. I didn’t know about anything until after. After the ceremony, she was a dream, always there when I needed water, a drink, to find someone, to follow up on something, or even to sew back on my bustle. While a lot of amazing vendors went into planning the day, it was Julie who brought it all together and delivered us the most perfect day. Seriously, you need her. You will not be disappointed with the experience and it will ensure that you have the most perfect day like I did.

We would have been lost without Somethingbleu!!!
We absolutely loved working with Julie! She is so warm and friendly and we would have been lost without her! We decided to have our wedding about 10 weeks before our date and from the minute we found Julie it was evident we needed her help! Julie was willing to help with anything we needed and she was a wonderful person to bounce off ideas. Her organization made our day seamless and we never needed to think of anything. Julie is incredibly organized and is a great communicator. We were able to have a wonderful day because Julie had everything under control. We would have been lost without Julie and we would highly recommend couples to work with her.

The BEST Wedding Planner
As a wedding planner myself, I knew I would need help executing my own wedding day. As soon as I met Julie, from Something Bleu Weddings & Events, I knew no one else would compare! From the minute we started working together, Julie was meticulous, thoughtful, and reassuring - I had nothing but confidence in her to bring our special day together, and she delivered absolute perfection! We hosted a 200-guest wedding, with lots of curated, personalized details, and a large wedding party - Julie managed it all with ease and grace. As soon as she arrived in the morning to our chaotic suite with 13 people getting hair & makeup done, she calmed the storm. She flawlessly styled our details, to make sure we had photos of all the important stationery and momentos, on top of managing the timing, wedding party, and all of the ceremony prep that had to occur in a very short window of time. She was able to seamlessly wrangle our large wedding party at our ceremony, and took care of details that I hadn’t even thought of (like making sure our extra ceremony items made it back to our reception venue). When we made it to our reception site, everything was absolutely perfect - she styled all of our personalized items, including putting together our 7’ x 10’ escort board exactly how we envisioned it. During our reception, Julie was by my side for whatever we needed, including helping me into and out of various outfits & shoes! She managed the timing of the reception, and even though we were running behind at one point, she seamlessly worked with our vendor team to make sure everything got back on track, all while reassuring us along the way. I cannot recommend Julie enough, as a fellow planner and now, a former bride. If you are looking for someone to flawlessly plan and execute your event, she’s the one you want by your side!

Very Professional
Julie from Something Bleu Wedding & Event Planning was a great resource in helping me plan an intimate wedding in 2 months! Julie hit the ground running with helping us secure a venue that offered an intimate wedding package, which is what we wanted, and gave great vendor referrals that matched our style and budget. Julie was professional, kind, very organized, and a pleasure to work with from start to finish. My husband and I would highly recommend Julie to anyone looking for a skilled wedding planner with great industry connections! Thank you for helping us with our special day!

You NEED to have Julie by your side!!!
I am a wedding calligrapher in the New England area and I have had the pleasure of working with Julie of Something Bleu Weddings for two styled shoots. Julie is such a talented wedding planner who is organized, communicative, passionate, creative, and simply a joy to work with! Her attention to detail and the effort she gives each wedding/event is evident to her passion and servant's heart to go above and beyond for each of her cleints and their events. She had a clear vision that she communicated well and gave me everything that I needed to create according to the event's aesthetic which I greatly appreciated as a wedding vendor. I highly recommend having Julie for her planning and design services for your wedding or event!

A Professional Gem!
I've worked with Julie from Something Bleu Weddings on a few styled shoots and a personal dinner and has always been such a treat! Each time I’ve worked with her, she has put together an impressive team of vendors to create an extraordinary result. She is so creative and continues to bring stunning ideas that showcase authenticity and beauty. Julie works very professionally but is a gem of a gal, someone any bride would definitely feel comfortable with!

Amazing services
Julie was amazing from the beginning and was attentive to every little detail. We decided to ask for her “day of” services with about 2 months left until our wedding due to gradually increasing the amount of items and set up for the big day. Since our first consultation, I knew Julie was the right match for us as she was so kind and up front with the services she offered. As the big day drew nearer, more detailed decorations were added and she brought in her assistant Jessica who was amazing on the big day with her skills of setting up and attentiveness to us as a couple. They made sure we were aware of all the little changes throughout the day (including the change in timeline due to transportation being late) and managed to allow the event to go off without a hitch. I highly recommend Julie if you need any type of coordinator, whether a full planner or day of coordinator!
Something Bleu Wedding & Event Planning's reply:
Thank you for the very sweet review Kylie! It was such a pleasure working with you and Ryan this summer and early fall to execute your wedding day! I am so glad the bus was able to get their tire fixed to get all guests to your ceremony! Wishing you both all the best!

A lovely coordinator for your dream day!!
I recently worked with Julie on a backyard intimate wedding on Cape Cod (as a photographer) - and let me tell you what a pleasure it was!! Julie had everything completed in a timely manner (and by everything I mean emails, timelines, setup, etc.), backup plans, and a vision that completely transformed the backyard into a dreamy elegant garden party for our client. She was so great & easy to work with, and the day ran smoothly solely because of her. Something Bleu is already on my recommended vendor list for all my future clients because she is just THAT. DANG. GOOD.

Thank you for your kind words, Sam!! It was such an honor to get to work with you for L & T's wedding day! Your sneak peek pictures of the day came out so beautifully, I can't wait to see the full gallery! I also can't wait to work together again in the future!

Julie saved us
We could not have handled our 120 guest backyard wedding without Julie. If you are on the fence about whether to hire her, it will be the best money you spend on your wedding or other event. I wanted to be guest at our daughter's wedding held at our home. On the day of the wedding, I was a wreck until she arrived and took over. Julie was so calm and professional; I just left everything in her hands for the rest of the day. It was perfect.
Something Bleu Wedding & Event Planning's reply:
It was such a pleasure to work with you and your family for Alyssa and Ryan's big day! Your home is truly a spectacular home to host a wedding, with some of the loveliest gardens I have ever seen! Thank you for entrusting me to be apart of your families special day!
