The best team ever!!

Shannon and Alissa were absolutely incredible to work with. We hired WWP for day-of coordination, and they made the entire day flow effortlessly thanks to their organization, attention to detail, and calming presence. They handled every detail with such care and confidence that we were able to be fully present and enjoy every moment. We couldn’t have asked for a better team and are so grateful for everything they did to make our wedding absolutely perfect.

Wedding Planning Plus's reply:

Teresa, thank you so much for taking the time to share this. Shannon and Alissa loved being there for you and making sure the day felt easy and stress-free from start to finish. It means a lot to hear that you were able to fully enjoy your wedding without worrying about a thing. We’re really grateful we got to be a part of it.

Highly Recommend!

We hired WPP & worked closely with Shannon to execute our dream wedding! We had already booked all of our vendors and only selected the package where we received her support the month of our wedding and throughout the day of our wedding. Leah assisted Shannon on our wedding day & together they made our day stress-free! Shannon was responsive, organized, understanding and super sweet! She communicated with all of our vendors for us which was a huge relief. We got married at The Promise Gardens and Shannon helped us navigate their policies with ease while honoring and supporting our dreams for our big day. We highly recommend WPP! 🤍✨

Wedding Planning Plus's reply:

Makenzie,

We loved being part of your wedding journey! Shannon and Leah had such a wonderful time making sure your day at The Promise Gardens ran smoothly so you could focus on soaking in every moment. We’re so grateful you trusted WPP to help bring your vision to life.

Dream team

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
WPP made my dream wedding the most perfect weekend I could’ve imagined! A huge heartfelt thank you to Eliza, Margette, Alissa, and Bree — each of them brought such warmth, organization, and talent to the planning process. Over 18 months, they worked seamlessly with me to plan a destination wedding from start to finish, helping me find and secure an incredible team of vendors and making sure every detail was thoughtful and personal. The day-of coordination was flawless — I didn’t have to think about a thing. Every single person on the WPP team is so talented, and I truly couldn’t have done it without them!

Wedding Planning Plus's reply:

Erin,

Thank you so much for this incredibly kind review! It was such an honor to be part of your wedding journey, and we loved every moment of planning alongside you. From those first conversations to watching everything come to life, your vision was such a joy to bring to reality. We’re so glad you felt supported every step of the way and that you could be fully present and stress-free on the big day! Wishing you a lifetime of love and happiness, and thank you again for trusting our team to be part of such a special celebration.

Worth It!!

We hired WPP for day-of-coordination for our spring wedding at the Canfield Casino. The Canfield Casino is a beautiful venue, but they don't have a real event staff, so I knew I'd need someone who could help set up and direct things on the day. Eventually, we decided that it would be more budget friendly to host the reception at a different venue that had it's own full event staff. I had to decide whether it was worth it to keep WPP's services given that only our ceremony would be at the Canfield. We ended up deciding it was worth it to have the extra hands as you really don't have staff support at the Canfield. We did not want to have our wedding party setting things up like chairs, etc! I'm so glad we did as having Shannon there gave me a lot of peace of mind. Thank you, WPP for coordinating our wedding! (P.S. I'm going to cross-post this review on other sites!)

Wedding Planning Plus's reply:

Catilin,

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review — we’re so glad you decided to keep us on board! Even with just the ceremony at the Canfield, having support behind the scenes can make such a difference, and we’re thrilled to hear that Shannon was able to bring you peace of mind. It was an honor to be part of your day and help everything run smoothly — thank you for trusting WPP and for spreading the word!

Every detail taken care of flawlessly!

Shannon, Eliza and their team are the very best in the business, its that simple! Every single detail of our wedding, especially day of, was taken care of so thoughtfully! I know so many people who have been so stressed on their wedding day and happily, that could not have been further from the truth for me! They took care of everything, often without me even realizing, and I was truly able to sit back, relax, and enjoy the day in its entirety. We hired them for "day of" coordination, but they provided us with so much more than that. They made it clear they were always just a phone call or email away and helped with any issue I had, big or small in the planning process. If you're wondering if you need a wedding planner - you do, and it should absolutely be WPP!

Wedding Planning Plus's reply:

Mikala,

Thank you so much for this glowing review! It means the world to hear that you felt relaxed and fully present on your wedding day — that’s exactly what we hope for every couple we work with. From the first planning call to the final song on the dance floor, being by your side and handling the details (both big and behind-the-scenes!) was such an honor. It was a pleasure to work with you and we’re so grateful you chose WPP to bring your day to life!

Wedding Planning Plus is the best!

Wedding Planning Plus is the best! I had the pleasure of working with them for my wedding this past September, and I don’t know how we could have pulled it off without them. If you are reading this and debating whether or not to hire a wedding planner, I not only recommend getting one, I definitely recommend Wedding Planning Plus.

As we were moving through the planning process, WPP was great at helping us stay on track and definitely had the expertise needed to make sure we didn’t miss anything. Margette was extremely helpful in planning the florals and design of our wedding, and Eliza was there every step of the way to make us feel at ease so we didn’t get too stressed but also pushed us along so that we kept up with everything.

WPP was great for helping to plan the wedding, and they came through even more on the wedding day itself. We felt a little scattered on our day, and Eliza was able to pull everything together and make it really easy for us. We had some unexpected rain on our day, which changed our plans for the ceremony. Eliza was able to reorganize our ceremony and put together something that was as beautiful as we could have hoped for. WPP also was able to set up our table settings just as we had imagined, amongst MANY other things. They really came through and pulled it all together. You will not be disappointed if you decide to work with this team!

Wedding Planning Plus's reply:

Harley,

Thank you so much for your kind words! It was such a joy to be part of your wedding and help bring your vision to life—rain and all! We’re so glad you felt supported every step of the way, and we’re honored to have played a role in making your day so special.

Best Decision You Will Ever Make

I had the absolute pleasure of working with WPP for my recent October wedding and it was truly the best decision I could have made. Having gotten engaged NYE 2023 and knowing we wanted to get married the following fall in upstate NY we knew we needed to hire a wedding planner to help us plan our perfect wedding in only 9 months. We booked their partial planning package and it made the planning process so much more enjoyable.

We were so lucky to get to work with so many members of the team in the process. Shannon helped us with our venue search by helping us narrowing down what would work best for us which was so important since we were planning an out of state wedding. Eliza was phenomenal to work with and helped us to find amazing vendors to work with and there to answer all of our questions along the way. Their incredible in house designer, Margette, went above and beyond to bring out vision to life, sometimes interpreting what I wanted before I even knew what it was. She not only tied all of my napkins into bows she also helped me source a special bar for the martini bar so I could have the vintage look I was imagining. We could not have pulled off the most perfect day without the whole team.

The entire team is exceptional and I can not say enough good things about them all. Thank you for making our day truly special and unforgettable.I had the absolute pleasure of working with WPP for my recent October wedding and it was truly the best decision I could have made.

Superb in every way

Shannon and her team at Wedding Planning Plus took care of every detail we could think of—and many more we didn't think of. They were thorough, proactive, and professional throughout the process, which made us feel at ease during a typically stressful time. Everything came together perfectly and we were able to have FUN on our wedding day—what a concept! We can't recommend them highly enough.

The Fantastic Five

To begin with, thank you all so much for making our day so beautiful and spectacular.
We could not pick a better team than Shannon and her squad. Each detail of the wedding was on point and done in a very professional manner.
They are very accommodating to your needs and know exactly what to do. But the main acknowledgement we have to commend them for is surpassing every single hurdle that was thrown at them with ease.
As many weddings have their traditions, our wedding was very special indeed which compromised of keeping the integrity of both our Chinese and Indian cultures which they did eloquently.
We are forever grateful for you making our dreams come true and without a doubt recommend you to any couple looking for the perfect Wedding Planner/ Team!
Sincerely,
Tenneson & Stephanie , May 19th, 2024

Wedding Planning Plus's reply:

Thank you so much, Tenneson and Stephanie, for this incredibly kind and heartfelt review! It was such an honor to help bring both of your cultures together in such a meaningful and beautiful way.

The best wedding planning experience.

I cannot recommend Wedding Planning Plus enough! From the beginning, Alex was so helpful, professional, and organized - and her knowledge of vendors and venues around the Albany area was invaluable as we were planning our wedding there remotely from San Francisco.

She was there for us throughout the entire planning process to keep us on track and bounce questions off of when we had them (and we had many!) Her patience and kindness really shone through on the many emails we exchanged and calls we had leading up to the big day.

Because of Alex, our wedding weekend went off without a hitch - she was there to keep us on track, help set up for the reception, and get our vendors situated. She even fixed a small wardrobe malfunction before the ceremony rehearsal and drove us around on a golf cart to make sure we weren’t late for anything (thanks again, Alex!!)

We were able to relax and celebrate on the wedding day knowing that everything was taken care of. Honestly don’t know how we would’ve done it without Wedding Planning Plus - if you’re looking for a wedding planner who will listen to your vision and make your dream wedding a reality, don’t hesitate to reach out to them!

Wedding Planning Plus's reply:

Alice,
Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear how helpful and supportive Alex was from start to finish, especially while planning from across the country. Knowing she helped everything run smoothly (and even chauffeured you in a golf cart!) makes us so happy. We’re honored to have been part of your celebration and are so grateful you trusted us with your big day!

Best planning team EVER!!

We couldn't be happier with our decision to choose Wedding Planning Plus for our special day. From start to finish, working with Eliza and the team was an absolute pleasure.
From the very first meeting, Eliza's professionalism and attentiveness were evident. She promptly responded to all of our emails and texts, ensuring that every question and concern was addressed promptly and professionally.
During our rehearsal dinner, Eliza's attention to detail was remarkable. She ensured that our rentals were organized and took the time to walk us through every aspect of the upcoming day. Her detailed timelines for the bridal party made everyone feel at ease and ensured that everything ran smoothly.
On the wedding day itself, Eliza and her team were absolute stars. They arrived prepared and executed every detail flawlessly. Their communication with each other was seamless, and they never once showed any signs of nervousness or panic. She never left our side and her help went beyond just planning, she stuck up for our wishes, provided bandaids for blistering feet, all while capturing amazing BTS photos on our phones!
One of the things that stood out most about working with Eliza was her personal touch. Throughout the planning process, she constantly reminded us to cherish every moment and made sure that we were doing/making choices that made us happy. She reminded us of this on our wedding day as well. Her thoughtful reminders made our experience throughout and on our wedding day truly special .
In conclusion, we cannot recommend Wedding Planning Plus highly enough. Eliza and the team went above and beyond to make our day perfect, and we are so grateful for everything they did. If you're looking for a planner who is professional, attentive, and truly cares about making your day perfect, look no further than Wedding Planning Plus.

Wedding Planning Plus's reply:

Brianna,
Thank you so much for this beautiful and thoughtful review! It means the world to hear how supported and cared for you felt throughout the process—those little moments are just as important to us as the big ones. We’re so grateful to have been part of your day and are thrilled it was everything you hoped for (plus a few bandaids and BTS shots along the way)!

I knew for years that I was going to have Wedding Planning Plus help me coordinate my wedding day.

For our wedding, Shannon gave us peace of mind knowing that everything was taken care of and we could be totally present for our special day. I'm so thankful for Shannon and her team!

The Dream Team

Hiring Wedding Planning Plus was the best decision we made! From start to finish WPP was there with us. Alex and Margette truly made our vision for the day come to life. They assisted us in getting the right vendor teams and executed all of our asks flawlessly. We couldn't believe how everything came together so beautifully and we couldn't have done it without WPP- Alex and Margette were by our side every step of the way. Alex is a true professional! Any issue that arose she handled with such grace. She always kept me calm and said don't worry, we will figure this out for you! Day of, she handled my not so pretty moments and kept things moving along. Margette, truly brought my vision for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception to life. From the moment we met she completely understood the vibe I was going for and the look I was trying to achieve. We were always on the same page. She even gave me better options to do things in a more cost effective way, always looking out for our best interest which we greatly appreciated. Honestly, the WPP team was the dream team!! Thank you WPP!

Wedding Planning Plus's reply:

Christina,
Thank you so much for this heartfelt review! We’re beyond happy to hear how Alex and Margette helped bring your vision to life with calm, care, and total professionalism.

Thank You Shannon!

Shannon was so easy to chat with, accessible for any and all questions we had leading up (including with venue hiccups), and on the day of swooped in with her assistant Kristina and helped everything run perfectly. We worked with her as our month of coordinator as we had already identified all the vendors and booked things, but when others brought in chaotic energy, Shannon de-stressed and de-escalated everything so we were totally chill for our big day. She was a dream partner!

Wedding Day At Ease

Hiring Wedding Planning Plus for our wedding day was by far one of the best decisions we could have made! We were really on the fence of even hiring a day of coordinator and boy are we glad we did. The day would not have gone so smoothly without Eliza and the rest of the team we had for our special day. Eliza was tentative to everything we could have needed throughout our day and for the most part a head of it all. Everything from the wedding day nerves to fixing my dress, having shoes available to me immediately (We hiked a mountain for our ceremony) Eliza was there. All of our wishes throughout the day that we made clear we wanted to happen.. happened. There was no stress for any part of the process and everything we worried about prior Eliza ensured it would be taken care of.

Wedding Planning Plus's reply:

Nicole,
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re so glad you decided to bring us on—helping your day run smoothly (and stylishly, even on a mountain!) was truly our pleasure. It means the world to hear that you felt supported, stress-free, and completely taken care of from start to finish.

Shannon and Wedding Planning Plus allowed us to have a stress-free wedding day!

We are so grateful to Shannon and the rest of the Wedding Planning Plus team for helping us bring our dream wedding to reality! We hired Shannon in January 2021 for our October 2022 wedding as a partial planner. Shannon helped us find some of our most important vendors, like our caterer, entertainment, and rentals, and she was also a big help when it came time for us to figure out how to articulate our vision for the day. While her help leading up to the day was great, it was really the wedding coordinating services that allowed us to sit back and enjoy our wedding day. Shannon and her team took care of absolutely everything, and we can honestly say, our wedding day was probably one of the most stress-free days of our lives! We are so grateful to Shannon and her team and could not recommend them more.

Wedding Planning Plus's reply:

Katie,
We’re so glad Shannon and the WPP team could help bring your vision to life! From vendor guidance to day-of coordination, it sounds like you had the perfect support to make your wedding as smooth and stress-free as possible. Being able to truly enjoy your day is what it’s all about. Huge thanks for the kind words and glowing recommendation!

Incredible Experience!!

Shannon, and the rest of the Wedding Planning Plus team, were absolutely instrumental in our perfect wedding day!! We used their Wedding Day Coordinator package and could not be happier that we did! Shannon met with us twice before in the month leading up to our wedding day and made decisions and planning that seemed so complicated and stressful an absolute breeze. Honestly, in our first preliminary meeting with her when she explained all her services, she listed things we hadn't even thought of doing and we knew right then that we needed to book them and book them fast! On the day of the wedding, our whole WPP team made our space an absolute vision! It was everything we ever imagined and more! Shannon was with me every step of the way including printing out itineraries for all of our families and members of our wedding party, keeping me calm and assuring me at all moments that we were on schedule, and even putting my veil in right before the ceremony. She really heard everything we said about timing and made sure we maximized dancing (which was very important to us). She is an absolute delight to work with and honestly, she felt more like an old friend than a wedding coordinator. I can’t even imagine all of the things they did behind the scenes to make our wedding day the best day of our lives. If you’re looking for a planner or coordinator, look no further!

Wedding Planning Plus's reply:

Holly,
Wow — this absolutely made our day! Thank you so much for taking the time to share such kind, detailed words about your experience with Shannon and the rest of the Wedding Planning Plus team. It means the world to us that you felt supported, heard, and cared for every step of the way — from the first meeting to the final dance. Bringing your vision to life and creating a space where you could fully relax and enjoy your day is exactly why we do what we do, and knowing we helped make it the best day of your lives is the ultimate compliment. Sending so much love and gratitude your way!

Absolutely wonderful!

Simply put, I never would have survived my wedding or rehearsal without the help and guidance of Shannon and her team. She was supportive, attentive, and on top of absolutely everything from the moment I first spoke with her up until the wedding reception ended. Shannon put my mind at ease every time we spoke, and she alleviated any and all stress that I had before and during the wedding. You could not ask for a kinder, more patient, or more detail oriented person to work with. I cannot put into words how great my experience was and how appreciative I am of Shannon and her entire team at Wedding Planning Plus!

Jennifer,
Your words mean so much to us — thank you for sharing this! We’re so happy to hear that Shannon and the team were able to bring calm, clarity, and confidence to such an important time in your life. It’s our greatest joy to be a steady hand through all the moving parts, and we’re incredibly grateful we could be that for you. From start to finish, it was an honor to be part of your day!

Thoughtful, Patient and Considerate

My wife (at the time, fiancé) and I began working with Shannon back in early 2020 with plans to marry that June. Little did we know our wedding wouldn't happen until September 2022, three postponements later. You hear sometimes about the many hats wedding planners need to wear: coordinators, cheerleaders, drill instructors, and therapists. Shannon rotated between these (and others) expertly, helping us maintain perspective, clarify our options and, ultimately, plan a fantastic wedding weekend. For each of our major vendors, she and her team compiled a roster of options, laying out the main selling points and offering their candid perspectives as we made our selections. After so many postponements we waffled over whether to even go through with a big wedding: Shannon was supportive, understanding, and friendly. Our periodic check-in calls were instructive, valuable and, frankly, fun! And as for the weekend itself: she and Eliza did a great job managing so much of the behind-the-scenes process so that my wife and I could just enjoy our time with friends and family. We're so grateful!

Wedding Planning Plus's reply:

Zach,
Your kind words mean everything to us — thank you for bringing us along on this journey with you. Through every twist, turn, and postponement, Shannon and the team were honored to be your steady support system and planning partners. It means the world to hear that even during the toughest moments, you felt cared for, heard, and guided. We’re so grateful we could help bring your wedding weekend to life and give you the space to fully enjoy every second with your loved ones!
- Wedding Planning Plus 💙

Wedding Planning Plus is amazing!

Working with Wedding Planning Plus was one of the best decisions we made throughout the wedding planning process! We had the pleasure of working with Leah Groff as our month-of wedding coordinator and also with Eliza Johnson who was there with Leah the day of. Our weekly calls with Leah always left us feeling confident and calm. She was so kind, hardworking, and organized as we worked on the detailed timeline together. She also offered wonderful advice and ideas! On the day of our wedding, we felt so assured knowing that Leah and Eliza were working hard in the background to make sure that all of those meaningful details came together in the way we wanted and that our vendors had all of the information they needed. They made sure everything was returned safely to our hotel room at the end of the night as we headed out to our after party and they handed out our vendor tips as well. We truly had an amazing experience working with Leah and we highly recommend Wedding Planning Plus for all wedding planning & coordination needs!

10/10 experience - and I work in the wedding industry!

The best choice for our wedding was hiring Shannon! As a wedding photographer, I was very picky and opinionated about the look, feel, and flow of our wedding. We wanted someone who was going to say YES we can make that happen rather than NO we can't do that and I feel like Shannon and her team did that and more. She navigated many difficult issues with grace and made sure that nothing got in the way of us enjoying our day. Do yourself a favor and hire Wedding Planning Plus now!!! They are kind, hardworking, and organized and will make your wedding vision a gorgeous reality without the stress!

Seamless experience working with wonderful people!

Shannon and her team are absolutely fantastic at what they do. We worked with Shannon for the month leading up to our wedding in Germantown, NY and she was a pleasure to work with in the run-up and on the day. We had several Zoom calls to run through the planning and logistics and Shannon thought of all of the details and helped us make decisions by offering thoughtful advice. On the day, Shannon and her team ensured everyone knew what they were doing and where to be. Our venue required us to hire everything from a caterer and florist to rentals, shuttles, golf carts, and a band and having someone to coordinate with all of the vendors and create a timetable was a lifesaver. We moved 150 people to three different sites on the venue throughout the day but everything worked like clockwork. Highly recommend Shannon and the Wedding Planning Plus team!

Wedding Planning Plus

I could not speak more highly of the wedding planning plus team. They were simply exceptional and well exceeded expectations. Alex Austin was my coordinator, and she was a lifesaver and a total boss! She helped execute my day to perfection, and was assisted by Paige and Grace, who were also amazing! The day went off without a hitch thanks to them.

Wedding Planning Plus -- A Key Part of Our Vendor Team

After you write that last check and that special day is over, it's easy to just jump back into life and not take the time to write a review unless of course, you're unhappy about something. In our case, we are extremely happy with the services Shannon Whitney and her team at Wedding Planning Plus delivered for us. We had to write a review and let others know that Wedding Planning Plus is excellent!

Shannon helped us create our dream wedding. We live in Dallas, TX and decided we would like a destination wedding in the Finger Lakes, NY region. Given the number of Finger Lakes and the multitude of wedding venues, we needed Shannon's help. She gave us numerous suggestions on venues and after a site visit of top choices, we made our selection. We also knew that we needed Wedding Planning Plus to help us identify other quality vendors in the area for floral, DJ Services and photography. Again, top marks for Wedding Planning Plus recommendations!

Wedding Planning Plus also supported us on our actual wedding day. Shannon was available and on-site and worked with the local venue team to ensure every detail was in place and our every need met so that we could focus on enjoying our event, our families and friends and each other. It was wonderful and gave us peace of mind knowing that venue teams are working double time/over time due to short staffing. It was great to have this added support -- not just for us but for our wedding venue team as well.

I will close by simply saying, if you need a wedding planner, Wedding Planning Plus gets our highest recommendation. The entire team was great to work with and made the wedding planning process simple, stress-free and even fun! We enjoyed the journey as much as the day itself!

Linda and Dave

WPP and Kate LaFerriere Deliver "The Best Day Ever"

Shannon and her team at Wedding Planning Plus were fantastic and we would highly recommend using them for your wedding.

The amazing people at Wedding Planning Plus helped us scout venues in the area and worked with us to fit our budget.

Our main point of contact with WPP was Kate LaFerriere. I want to tell a quick story about our day because it's important to understand in order for us to accurately review Kate as our wedding planner.

Our ceremony was set to begin at 4pm with massive thunderstorms expected in the area right around the ceremony start time. A decision needed to be made of whether we could do the ceremony in the outdoor gardens of our venue or inside the barn where the reception would also take place. Kate, as a planner, I'm sure really wanted a decision as soon as possible in order to set up everything for our guests but she was never pushing us to a decision we did not want to make. She truly listened, consulted and offered up her suggestions while keeping a calm demeanor.

We all agreed if we could move the ceremony up just 15 minutes, we might be able to make it work to have the ceremony outside.

Even with the new schedule, all of our guests arrived just in time as the storm clouds really began to roll in. Vows were exchanged, a kiss to seal the deal and all of our guests rushed into the barn. I'm happy to report, not a single guest felt the wrath of the rain that began to come down no less than 10 seconds after the last guest stumbled into the safe dry barn.

My wife and I walked to the back of the barn to grab a drink and begin the tour of greeting all our guests. One of the first things I noticed was all of our smiling guests relieved they'd made it to the barn safe and dry and in that moment, I saw walk through the barn doors - soaking wet from the rain, it was our wedding planner Kate LaFerriere. She was completely drenched in a room full of dry, happy people.

Kate possesses all the best qualities for the perfect wedding planner. She has the finest attention to the little details that make a big difference. She always has a calm demeanor - with all the details and timelines she had to manage anyone could easily be flustered under the circumstances. But any interaction with the bride or groom on the day of was done graciously with a soft calm voice, and everything was communicated very clearly to both of us. But I think the greatest quality Kate possessed was selflessness. I go back to the moment of seeing Kate drenched in a room full of dry people. It was a reminder to me, the sacrifices another person was willing to make for delivering us the most perfect day.

From listening to us in our pre-wedding planning meetings, all the way through the execution of all that planning, Kate was flawless throughout and the day turned out even better than what we could have imagined.

In getting to know Kate we also know she will have her own wedding to look forward to in the near future. The greatest compliment we can pass along is the hope that on your special day, you have a planner as dedicated, selfless and amazing as you were on our day - to deliver you and your guests a memorable day. Kate, we thank you so much for everything you did and wanted to let you know that you deserve to have your own "best day ever" - because that's exactly what you gave us!

Best Wishes and Thank You to everyone at Wedding Planning Plus,

Kris & Heidi Dillmann

WPP were lifesavers!

We originally hired Wedding Planning Plus for month of coordination back in August 2019 for an August 2020 wedding, and they have been lifesavers for every step of this wild journey! As COVID hit in spring 2020, Shannon was super proactive and helpful as we navigated postponement. Then, when our original venue closed in December 2020 and we needed to pivot again, Shannon rescued us from our panic, contacting dozens of venues overnight and helping us secure a new venue and caterer for our same date within a matter of weeks in the middle of the holidays. As we hit the month of our now September 2021 wedding and dealt with the uncertainties created by the delta variant and its impact on the endless evolution of our guest list, Alex was always there with answers to our questions and to help us update all necessary plans and quickly communicate these updates to vendors accordingly. On the day of our wedding, Alex and Jennifer kept all of the coordinating of multiple levels of complicated logistics totally off our plate. And they dealt with very unexpected, potentially chaos-inducing fires - collapsing chuppahs, an emergency that prevented our original Rabbi from being able to make it on an hour's notice - without us feeling so much as a bump. We are so thankful for all their help!

WPP - Best in the business!

Choosing Wedding Planning Plus to help us plan our wedding was one of the best decisions we made during the wedding process. I had the pleasure of working with Shannon and Alex and it was truly a dream. From the very first day, I felt more at ease. Shannon has an incredible ability to connect with her brides and grooms – she just gets it! I was so impressed by how well she understood us, helped us craft our vision, and turned that into a reality. A few highlights from our experience:
1) Shannon will take the time to talk to you through the options of any scenario calmly, patiently and informatively. Being a COVID bride, we hit some rough patches which included us needing to change our reception venue less than two months before the wedding. Shannon helped us weigh the pros and cons at length until we were comfortable with our decision. She took the lead on researching other venues quickly and made all necessary adjustments with our vendors.
2) Speaking of vendors - Shannon has a vast circle of killer vendor recommendations. People are still talking about our vendors and many have mentioned they were some of the best they had ever experienced at a wedding. And when working with each vendor you can tell how much they respect and are excited to work with Shannon again. If you don’t believe me, take it from the multiple vendors that told us Shannon is the best wedding planner they have ever worked with!
3) The wedding weekend was absolutely flawless. I felt so confident knowing Shannon and Alex were there thinking through every detail. I was really able to sit back, relax, and just enjoy the day. And that’s a lot coming from my husband and I – we are both very detail oriented and are perfectionist with party planning, so this is very hard for us to do at times!

Do yourself a favor and hire Wedding Planning Plus! You will not be disappointed and your wedding experience (and that of your guests) will be better because of it!!

The Best Decision for Our Wedding Day- Hiring WPP!

One of the best decisions I made for my wedding day was to use the Day of Coordination from Wedding Planning Plus. I had the honor of working with Kate LaFerriere and Erin Rueckert. A month before the wedding, I began meeting with Kate to finalize my wedding timeline and details. Kate was incredibly patient, understanding, and helpful throughout the planning process.

On the wedding day, Kate and Erin took care of all the behind the scenes details so that me and my family could relax and enjoy the day. Both ladies made sure all of the items were in place at the church and assisted with the flow of the ceremony. They did an amazing job of setting up our reception venue with all of our personal touches.

Kate was definitely the glue that held the wedding weekend together. She was the go-to person for the vendors and our large wedding party (20 people!). Kate was such a calming presence and she alleviated any of my concerns. She also checked in with me throughout the night to make sure I was eating enough and had a beer! At the end of the night, Kate brought our decorations, gifts, family photographs, and bouquets back to our hotel room. She even saved a dessert tray for me and my husband- she knows the way to my heart! Kate had taken pictures on my phone throughout the night and it was such a nice surprise to see the pictures the next day when I wanted to relive our wedding day.

The ladies at Wedding Planning Plus made wedding planning organized and stress-free. Thanks to Kate and Erin, I was able to be fully present with my husband and our loved ones. I cannot thank them enough for their hard work, attention to detail, and for going above and beyond for me on my wedding day. Both ladies truly put their heart into all that they do, and I am so honored that they were a part of my wedding day! I would highly recommend Wedding Planning Plus, Kate, and Erin to any couple getting married.

WPP was the key ingredient to our perfect day

We could not have pulled off our wedding without Shannon and Alex. We worked with WPP for over two years to plan and then re-plan (due to covid) our wedding. Shannon was competent, calm and pleasant to work with every step of the way, helping us expertly navigate the logistics of hosting a wedding at my mothers residential property. Leaning on them to handle the details alleviated so much stress. Alex was with me every step of the way on wedding day and helped us have the best day of our lives even though it was torrential down-pouring for the entirety of the event. Hiring WPP is my number one recommendation for planning an upstate wedding.

Totally Awesome!

My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Kate L. when planning our wedding. Kate helped us during the month of and day of (month of was totally worth it!). She made the planning process so much more digestible, we even ended up with a minute-by-minute timeline of our rehearsal and wedding day. Kate did an awesome job of coordinating our officiant, band, venue manager, caterer, and florist. We were so thankful we didn't have to coordinate that ourselves.

Additionally, Kate took the time to get to know my wife and I during the month of. She showed clearly that she cared deeply about helping create one of our most cherished memories. My wife and I would recommend Wedding Planning Plus in a heartbeat to any couple looking to plan their big day.

Thank you so much Kate and the Wedding Planning Plus team!

Hire shannon and alex right now!

Choosing Wedding Planning Plus to coordinate our July 2021 wedding at Blenheim Hill Farm was HANDS DOWN the best decision we made in the entire wedding process. Alex and Shannon were godsends. They communicated and coordinated with all of the vendors so that everything flowed seamlessly! They also really made sure to listen to our feedback so that we were really happy with the flow of the day, no matter how many emails we sent! Though we quickly realized the best approach was to just let them handle it! On the day of our wedding, Alex and Shannon had everything planned perfectly such that we had no worries about where we were supposed to be or what we were supposed to be doing! We and our families were just able to completely enjoy the day knowing that they were taking care of everything! They were even able to coordinate with my parents for some surprises and find an amazing last minute replacement vendor. Like I said, above and beyond!! The day was absolutely the best day of our lives and would not have been so if we hadn’t made the decision to hire Wedding Planning Plus. Long story short – HIRE SHANNON AND HER TEAM!! You will not regret it!

An amazing source to make a wedding less stressful!!

I got married on a little lake near Lake George that has no service and I live on Long Island. So the planning process was a tad stressful. However hiring Wedding Planning Plus really made things so much easier! I got to work with Aissa for the pre-day-of things. She was on top of my vendors making sure they knew where to go and when. Then on the day of there was also Leah there to help. They were amazing! The day of they were so on top of everything! I was able to actually breathe and enjoy my day! (Although it is true that it goes by way too quick!) I highly recommend hiring them! You will not be disappointed!

Shannon and her team are so easy to work with

I'm not even sure where to begin. Shannon and her team were amazing.

We decided to work with Shannon in October 2019 for our October 2020 wedding. Well.. the pandemic happened and there were a lot of unknowns but Shannon was encouraging, realistic and committed to our vision.

We decided we would postpone it to May 2021. With most of our other vendors we had to go through their calendars to match up availability. With Shannon, we pretty much let her know the date we had in mind and she said she would have staff available. After postponing, the event guidelines changed multiple times. We were so thankful we had Shannon by our side to navigate through the situation.

Our wedding day couldn't have run more flawlessly if we tried. We felt so relaxed and comfortable knowing that our wedding was essentially in the hands of Shannon, Alex and Jennifer. We loved that we didn't have to really "deal" with any issues the day of.

We would 100% recommend Shannon and her team with full confidence and we promise you would not regret it.

So helpful!

So happy that we found Shannon for our wedding this year. After so many changes and unknowns, she was able to help us with every detail, and brought things to our attention that we would have never thought of. Throughout the whole process she was very responsive through email and phone. We never felt overwhelmed or pushed in any sort of direction, she was truly there as a support system to us whenever we needed. So thankful for her and her team!

The Organized Best Friend You MUST have to Plan Your Day

I am (was?) a covid bride. Originally Shannon and her team had started about 14 months prior to our wedding date planning a spectacular, bespoke 100 person 3-day wedding at a personal home on Seneca Lake in June of 2020.

The vendors carefully matched (worth her weight IN GOLD - Grateful Dead Cover band - check; Brunch from Elf and the Oak, check; perfectly curated florist matching our style perfectly - check), the logistics sorted out (we live in Boston), and therapy sessions at the ready, we were about to send out our invitations but then decided to be better safe than sorry.

Even though we had to change our wedding to an "anniversary" celebration in 2021, Shannon was at the ready, reading contracts, communicating and re-arranging vendors, and making sure that every i was dotted and t was crossed for 2021 for the "anniversary" party.

Did I mention she then CONTINUED to plan our micro-wedding in June 2020? While our wedding style changed, Shannon's regular check-ins, original vendors, and practical guides made our 12 person wedding perhaps even more SPECIAL!

Now it makes me a little sad to write this, as it was not the 2020 Wedding we imagined, but we are grateful for having hired Shannon and if we had to do it again, we would.

Shannon is so talented and incredibly hard working

When we decided to have an outdoor wedding 4 hours away from home we knew we would need an amazing team of vendors to help us pull it off. After our first conversation with Shannon, we knew she would be the perfect wedding planner for us and she did not disappoint.

From our first call to our wedding day, Shannon was incredible to work with. She did a remarkable job of breaking down each step in our planning process into manageable components. Shannon kept us right on track leading up to our wedding and made excellent vendor recommendations along the way. Not only was every call with her fun, but my fiance and I always felt like she understood us and that she had everything under control.

On our wedding day Shannon kept the day moving smoothly and was such a calming presence. My fiance and I were really able to take a step back and be present with our family and friends.

We had a very particular vision in mind for the day and when Shannon brought us into the tent before our guests arrived, it took our breath away. She absolutely nailed every aspect of our wedding. Our wedding was incredibly beautiful and when I see pictures of the day, I am in awe of what we were able to accomplish.

Shannon is extremely hard working, from making changes to our rental tables the day before our wedding to pinning up my dress because I danced so hard it broke, she took care of everything.

To make a long story short, hire her, you will not regret it. And if you're a Colgate Alum getting married on campus, DEFINITELY hire her.

Perfect Wedding Celebration! Thank you Shannon!!!

Working with Shannon was a fantastic experience -- both for us and for our daughter and her fiance/husband! Shannon was recommended to us by another family who had worked with her and had a similarly positive experience. From our initial meeting, Shannon was very attuned to understanding the vision our daughter and her fiance had for their wedding, as well as our goals as parents and hosts for the weekend wedding celebration. She had very strong insights into a broad range of vendors (geographically), and we feel we had the "A Team" of partners (vendors) as a result of Shannon's network (wedding at Lake George, NY, band from Manhattan, caterers from Albany, etc.). While Shannon had not previously organized a wedding at our chosen venue, she quickly immersed herself to become familiar and very comfortable with the location and the local team -- and added significant value in expanding the vision to create the absolutely perfect setting.

The wedding weekend was comprehensive and complex -- 165 guests from all over the world; welcome reception/dinner on Friday night, wedding preparation and festivities on Saturday, farewell brunch on Sunday -- all at different venues with different staffs and caterers; shuttle buses from hotels to venues; etc. Shannon was instrumental in planning virtually the entire wedding weekend, was respectful of our budget, and consistently provided insights and ideas that really made the event even more special -- several times for minimal or even lower cost than what we had budgeted. There is no way that we would have successfully pulled off this type of celebration without Shannon's attention to every detail.

Shannon and her team were particularly helpful on wedding day. She did a fantastic job anticipating every need, created a very thorough and accurate timeline for what was going to happen when (no surprises), and was available at all times to address any concerns or questions -- no matter how trivial.

Shannon was a calming influence throughout the planning process, and skillfully navigated the preparations and discussions with both our daughter and her fiance, as well as with us as parents. We feel strongly that her involvement was a blessing to us throughout the planning process, and helped this period to be a wonderful time for us as a family -- and a time that we will always look back on and cherish.

The whole wedding experience was just terrific -- and we attribute much of this to Shannon and her team. We recommend her without any concerns or reservations! It was a "storybook" celebration -- in large part due to Destination Upstate/Wedding Planning Plus.

The best planner we could have imagined!

I was an event planner myself for years, so I hope it bears the weight intended when I say that our Wedding Planning Plus engagement was the best and most important money we spent on our wedding! Shannon and her team are incredibly well organized and thorough. I can’t overstate the quality of communication. Shannon is super responsive, and if she’ll be out of pocket for a wedding on a given weekend she always gives you PLENTY of advance warning so you can get any time-sensitive questions in first. They think of EVERYTHING and will make you feel so confident at every turn. What stands out in particular is how much Shannon helped with the collection and relocation of our gifts and speciality items at the end of the wedding, which I admit I had not thought about myself.

In the weeks and months after the wedding, every time we reminisced on the weekend with our families, our parents ALWAYS mentioned how impressed they were with Wedding Planning Plus. They all felt like they were treated as specially as the bride and groom, with their every need addressed before they even had to ask! On a day that often feels as big and important for the parents as for the couple, that meant a lot to all of us.

Shannon has been doing this for years, and it shows in the service she and her team provide. Her professionalism blew us away and she quickly became an important resource and sounding board for us throughout the planning process. I could not recommend her more highly!!

Piece of Mind times Infinity!!

Our wedding day was absolutely the most perfect and magical day thanks to Shannon and her team! Shannon was so awesome to work with throughout the entire planning process, which led to a flawless and perfect wedding day! The night of our rehearsal, Shannon showed up with an itinerary for everyone in our wedding party and our immediate family members to make sure everyone was on the same page. On the wedding day, anything I needed from food, pictures, bobby pins to fix my hair at the end of the night, coordinating vendors, and things I wasn’t even aware of going on was all taken care of without me even noticing! Shannon and her team’s attention to detail allowed me to enjoy every second of the day and live in the moment instead of worrying all day. Shannon was the greatest piece of mind, everything I could’ve wanted and more! I wouldn’t have done anything differently!

Responsive, attentive and easy to work with!

We found them through this site and we specifically worked with Erin, who was amazing. She saved the day a couple of times. She had worked with the venue before, and even had her wedding there which made the whole thing go much more smoothly. Would recommend the service, they were reasonable. We planned most of the big portions from across the country, and then hired them. Erin took it away from the last month to the day of to wrangle all the venders and family!

So worth it - enjoy your wedding without the stress!!

I literally told Shannon on my wedding day that she was the best thing to ever happen to me. That might be a slight exaggeration (my new husband probably wins that prize), but WPP was absolutely the best money I spent for my wedding. She made the planning process so easy. I loved all the vendors she recommended and didn't have to do nearly as much work doing research, trials, etc. to get awesome vendors. She's super nice, organized, and great to work with. She'll take the time to listen to what kind of wedding you want and suggest vendors accordingly vs. having a cookie cutter plan she uses for everyone. The really valuable part, however, came in her day-of coordinating. She had all the vendors on the same page, and she and her assistants handled absolutely everything you can think of (and a bunch of things you won't think of) on the wedding day. I didn't have to answer a single question from vendors, grab anyone to be in a picture, tell anyone from the wedding party where to be when, pick up cards/gifts/welcome sign the next day, etc. She did it all. I think the best part of hiring WPP is the peace of mind it provides. Something unexpected will inevitably happen on your wedding day, but chances are Shannon has handled it before. For me, one of my bridesmaids' dress split open right before we walked down the aisle. Shannon pinned it up without missing a beat and no one even noticed. Without her, one of my best friends would've had to stand in the back of the church and not be a part of my wedding ceremony. Instead she stood up there with me looking beautiful and now, we have a hilarious story. I know a wedding planner may not sound necessary, but letting yourself enjoy your day while Shannon and her team run the show is invaluable.

My Right Hand

Jennifer was amazing from the start. She helped me make the right decisions. She made sure I didn't miss a step. I really appreciate her and don't know what I would have done without her. I hired her as a month of coordinator, and I trusted her soo much that she became my decision maker. After all the planning and organizing, when the big day comes, you become so indecisive and you need someone to lead the way, and Jennifer was the one. Hiring someone to work details while you enjoy your wedding is a must. I would definitely recommend them.

Aissa is amazing!

My husband and I met Aissa several years ago when she was the coordinator for his sister's wedding; Everyone was so happy with her that we knew we had to have her for our wedding. To no surprise, Aissa was fantastic. We were able to fully enjoy the entire day without ever having to worry about any logistics or scheduling. Everything was absolutely perfect!! If there were any issues, they were completely unbeknownst to us!
Aissa was so pleasant to work with from start to finish. She made the entire process stress-free! I'm an organized planner, but after our first meeting I felt so relieved to have her on board - we were already planning out things a month in advance that I likely wouldn't have thought about until last minute! I just kept saying, "I'm just so glad we have Aissa." She is super sweet, incredibly organized and efficient. She was such a comforting presence on the day.
100% recommend Aissa as a wedding coordinator - there is enough stress involved in wedding planning.. let your self fully enjoy the actual day!
Thank you Aissa and Wedding Planning Plus!!

Actually ENJOY your engagement! WPP has got you!

I was dreading planning a wedding - I didn't know where to start, what I needed, what questions to ask and how to organize all my friends & family while also enjoying this short period of time when we were engaged. Enter Shannon. Shannon was my wedding planner, but she became my therapist, my cheerleader, my friend, my confidant and my partner in this journey. Planning a wedding is an emotional experience and it felt SO good to have someone who was outside my immediate family to be able to talk openly with. Shannon was organized, direct and kept everything flowing. Everyone commented on the fact that my wedding was the most streamlined they'd ever seen. I could go on and on - basically, just hire WPP - you will NOT regret it.

Wedding Wizard

I am so glad we hired Shannon for month-of coordination. She is extraordinarily organized, exactly the kind of person you want keeping track of all of your wedding details and coordinating moving parts. On the day of, when we discovered we didn't have a few important elements for the ceremony, she jumped into action, found them, and smoothed all the bumps. A warm, professional, and lovely person to work with from start to finish. I highly recommend Shannon and the Wedding Planning Plus team.

I can not say enough great things about our day of wedding coordinator, she was flawless. We worked with Kate, she was easy to work with and always on top of every little detail. She was always two steps ahead of the game and made the month before our wedding stress free. I was so thankful to have Kate apart of my wedding day, she truly made my day care free and perfect and her attention to detail was impeccable. Thank you for an amazing experience!

All the best,
Melissa & Brad

I cannot say enough amazing things about Erin McKee!!! I feel so lucky that I got to work with her on my wedding day. She thought of every little detail and made the last month of planning so easy. I was calm and not stressed out on my wedding day, and it's all because of Erin. Our DJ even mentioned that ours was the first wedding he's worked in years that actual ran on time. Erin truly went above and beyond to make sure our wedding day was perfect.

Shannon was a joy to work with! We used her for the "day of' coordination and she was fabulous! Shannon was extremely professional and did a wonderful job communicating with all of our vendors prior to the big day. Having Shannon there on my wedding day made all of the stress melt away. She was on top of everything and kept everyone on schedule. Aside from her professionalism, Shannon is the sweetest person who truly has a passion for what she does. She will make your wedding day a stress-free and memorable day. Thank you Shannon!!!

We used Wedding Planning Plus for month-of coordinating assistance. Shannon was very friendly and professional to work with. It was especially helpful because our venue didn't provide any assistance and we had to bring in/do everything ourselves. The biggest value was having her run logistics on the day of the wedding to ensure everything ran smoothly and so that we could fully enjoy the day. This would not have been possible without Shannon and her team's help!

Shannon was nothing short of amazing! Our day went off without a hitch due to her excellent organizational skills and calm demeanor. I had debated hiring a wedding coordinator, and now I can't imagine how I could have done it without her. I was an editor at a wedding magazine for a few years, but nothing fully prepares you for the amount of planning that goes in. From our first phone call to discuss my Saratoga Springs wedding for 120 guests that we were putting together in just six months, I knew we were in great hands. We were the first wedding being held at our venue, and were planning on an outdoor ceremony, tented dinner reception, followed by dancing with a band in the barn. It was a exactly what I was hoping for, but I knew it meant a ton of moving parts and set-up to be done in a short time. Shannon laid out a detailed itinerary in her online planning program that we could easily access, and it had literally every part of the day listed with a time and details. She contacted all of our vendors and made sure they were up to speed and prepared. There was a threat of rain the week before (which I was a wreck over), and she logically talked us through our options, ensuring that we had a solid plan for the rehearsal dinner and ceremony. The day-of, she kept us right on schedule and managed every detail, right down to bringing the gifts into the house and making sure I had my espadrilles to change into. Our families and wedding party kept commenting how awesome she was, and how the day went so perfectly. My husband and I truly enjoyed every moment of our wedding, and were able to be present to take it all in. We cannot thank Shannon enough for this!!

If I could give Shannon 10 stars I would! Everyone kept telling me that I was the calmest bride they had ever seen. Well I give alot of credit to Shannon. She took care of every single detail from the timeline to meeting the vendors to putting my flip flops under my table. She is very calm and fun and very attentive to our needs. Right before I was getting ready to walk out of my room to the ceremony my veil fell off, I screamed "omg my veil" She came walking through the door and said "I heard you, i'll fix it" I could go on and on and on. Shannon you are top notch and I can't thank you enough for proving the need for you to my husband!

I cannot say enough good things about Erin Rossi from Wedding Planning Plus. She was DEFINITELY worth every penny.

We hired Erin as a Day of Coordinator. We were unsure if we wanted to hire someone to do this early on because it seemed simple, get people from the church to reception and that's it, right? Wrong. There were so many little details that Erin meticulously planned out and coordinated that made our wedding day run flawlessly. She had a HUGE itinerary of the whole day that really went step-by-step. Having that (even if my bridesmaids mocked me) made me feel a lot more comfortable and made it a lot easier to ensure people were in the right place at the right time.

Erin's work with us started about a month before the wedding officially but she was very accessible from the beginning. When we had questions about possible vendors to hire, she was great in providing some insight and helping us out. She also had a very positive attitude and made you feel confident about your decisions.

On the wedding day, she was extremely comforting. It was great to have one point person who knew what was going on and how to deal with situations (like getting me a change of shoes). More than once on my wedding day I found myself saying, "just go ask Erin." She stayed the entire night and even helped us clean up afterwards (she even made sure our card box got securely back to our room). Honestly, I cannot recommend her highly enough. If you are not sure if you need a DOC, you do. Pick Wedding Planning Plus. I'm sure that they are all fantastic there!

We worked with the fabulous Kate on day-of-coordination services for our recent wedding. To say she was amazing is a complete understatement. We didn't have to worry about a single thing during the weeks leading up to the wedding. She was so positive and genuinely enthusiastic about our plans, some of which were a bit non-traditional, and we absolutely loved working with her. She was so on top of all the little details, and had outstanding judgment. One of my other vendors, who does a ton of weddings, even commented on how organized Kate is and how impressed she was with WPP's day-of itinerary layout. Our day was perfect, and I know that doesn't just happen by accident. We're so happy we chose to work with Wedding Planning Plus, and highly recommend them to other brides and grooms.

Aissa was a dream to work with! Aissa kept us on track with coordinating the month leading up to the wedding. She helped calm our nerves by laying out a helpful game plan and responding to our ad hoc questions promptly and patiently. Getting ready for the wedding Aissa was like Mary Poppins providing solutions to everyone's last min request (bride needed last min floss and deo!). All of our vendors commented on how amazing Aissa was too. For example, Aissa thought ahead to request a large table for the bridal suite to allow our hair and make-up artists a space to set up. Aissa was helpful and sweet beyond belief!

I had met Tomasina (Tommie) while handling other aspects of my wedding and she mentioned she had worked for Wedding Planning Plus if I was interested in day of coordination. I honestly didn't know if I needed it and thought maybe that was one of the expenses I could cut out. NO!!! This is a must if you're planning a pretty large, traditional wedding. I had sat on the card for a couple weeks and then had a bad dream one night everything at my wedding went wrong and I immediatley called Shannon to discuss. What value! Shannon and Tommie were so nice and Tommie was just out of this world. She handled so many things for me: dealing with vendors, coordinating my whole time line with everybody, brought the lunch to the hotel for us while getting ready, brought things I needed to and from the ceremony and reception sites, dropped all our gifts and things to our hotel room at the end of the night... I can go on. And she thought of so many things that I didn't think of like reserving the gazebo where I wanted to take photos and do first look. I really don't know how we would have done it all without her. It was amazing having her be a part of our day and made it all run so smooth even when there was little hiccups like missing bouquets and missing wedding cake lol.

Let me start off by saying that if it wasn't for Erin Rossi at Wedding Planning Plus, our wedding would not have been what it was, which was INCREDIBLE (and even that is an understatement). In the limo on the way to the church, my bridesmaids and mothers asked me how I remained so calm during the planning process, day-of, and minutes away from entering the church for the ceremony and all I could muddle out was "Erin." Having her meant that I had no worries. No worries about signing my name to an abundance of contracts, landing our priority vendors, time and planning management, or even eating before walking down the aisle. My now husband, our parents, wedding party, all guests, and I were able to enjoy every moment of the day without being tugged in multiple directions to coordinate, set up, or tackle any loose ends, such as ordering last minute fresh flower petals for our flower girl, bringing a sewing kit to fix a broken bridesmaid headband, and even finding a wheelchair for my grandma who twisted her ankle just before walking down the aisle. She also can now add "mannequin challenge videographer" to her resume!
Erin is a wedding planning guru and I have been told countless times since the wedding day how our wedding was the best wedding they have ever attended. Erin deserves most of that recognition and credit! Hands down, best decision! Love her!!! Xox

My mother very quickly dismissed our desire for a day-of coordinator when I first told her we met with Shannon at Wedding Planning Plus. Shannon was great, answered all of our questions, and eagerly told us of all of the options they offer. We decided on the day-of consultation package and we were appointed Erin McKee as our consultant. Even though our package was only for day-of services, during our engagement, we were able to reach out to Erin if we ever needed to and she was more than happy to meet with us on a visit home just to get to know each other. As we got about a month out, Erin began to jump into high gear. Once she received all of the details from us (contact information of vendors, etc...) she took over with making all of the final phone calls and arrangements, setting up the timeline for the day, and making sure every last detail was accounted for. We did pay an extra fee to have Erin at our rehearsal, which was so helpful in keeping everything in order. On the day of, Erin was amazing. I told her that my wedding *would not* start late and it did not; 3pm on the dot, the ceremony music began. This was all thanks to her timeline, planning, and coordination... and we even did first-look photos at our reception site prior to the ceremony which was 15 minutes away and we got to the church early, allowing me time to touch up and even have a snack! Erin handled everything at the reception along with the banquet manager there and probably took care of things that I still don't know she took care of. At the end, she gathered a to-go box of our desserts, our cards, and some flowers and she went to our hotel room to set it up for us to arrive to for our wedding night. In the end, my mother looked at me and said, "I just can't believe how much Erin took care of; she was definitely worth the money!" We agree!!!

We were lucky enough to work with Kate for Day of Coordinating services. To say there were a lot of moving parts to our wedding is an understatement. Our venue was a blank slate and we brought in essentially every component; from chairs, linens, plates and flatware to the stove and grill for the caterer. To complicate things further, our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception were all at different locations. We had separate vendors for flowers, lighting, transportation, rentals, and catering but also had many personal items we brought in to customize the spaces. Lastly, my fiance and I were planning our upstate NY wedding from Washington, DC. I was a little worried we were going to scare Kate off during our first call, but she took it all in stride and continued to throughout the process. Like many couples, we assumed we had thought of everything. "Kate will take care of it," became a constant refrain (and somewhat of a running joke) whenever we thought of something new. Her list grew longer and longer but she graciously and professionally handled each and every item. On more than one occasion, I would shoot her a frantic text about the most minute detail and knew I didn't have to think of it again. She was organized, diligent, and thorough.
It was important for us to work with someone who could take our months of planning and execute our vision in the final weeks leading up to the wedding. After over a year of exchanging hundreds of emails with vendors and creating too many checklists to count, we wanted someone else to be the point person so we could really enjoy our wedding without distractions. Thanks to Kate, we were able to do just that! She worked extremely hard to ensure we had a stress-free and amazing day. We always felt like her number one priority and thoroughly enjoyed our time working with her. Choosing Kate and WPP to help us with our coordinating needs was one of the best decisions we made and we wouldn't hesitate recommending them!

We required some last minute help before our wedding and I am so lucky I came across Shannon's services. In a pinch she was able to get up to speed and dive right in. Having her help that day allowed me to enjoy every single moment of the day. She was attentive, kind, and professional, everything I could have asked for!

Shannon at Wedding Planning Plus is the best. She helped us to not only plan our wedding, but keep our sanity. Sometimes I swear she's a therapist in addition to wedding planner... She helped us to choose vendors, answered our stupid questions, planned the day of from a to z with utmost precision, and helped settle family "disputes" - all with charm, grace, and unending patience. The day of our wedding, no matter what was happening, I could feel calm knowing that Shannon was around to handle any and all situations that arose (and, of course, there were situations that arose!). She always had a level head and helped us all keep our cool throughout it all. Our wedding was INCREDIBLE, and without Shannon there, my family and I would have had so much more to deal with and worry about. We loved her, and her colleague Erin, and would highly recommend to all brides and grooms, no matter the style or size of your wedding. You can't go wrong with Shannon or WPP!

Shannon of WPP was wonderful to work with!! My husband and I were engaged for 2 years before our wedding which was held out of state. We both have schedules that did not allow us to do a lot of visiting the area and looking around at different vendors. Shannon got to know us and narrowed down the options for us then showed us only those she knew would like the most. We are able to do almost all the decision making by email but she was also very flexible and arranged to meet us when we could be in town. Any question or concern we had we just sent and email and got everything figured out. Our wedding was amazing, our guests had a great time and everything went so smoothly. We would recommend WPP for anyone!

I wish I had started working with Lead Planner Erin Rossi much, much sooner. I hired Erin as a wedding coordinator, but when we started working together I realized how invaluable she is. As a graphic designer, I didn't need Erin to come up with ideas, but I really could have used her detailed organization and her brilliant ability to communicate with everyone involved in the wedding. When people say wedding planning is a second job, they mean it. So to have someone like Erin -who is on top of everything- by your side means you won't be overwhelmed with the inevitable 20 emails per day from the florist, hairstylist, makeup artist, photographer, band and caterer. (Not to mention friends and family.)

Also, the day of service was the best. Erin did everything I had asked her to and then knew all the things I hadn't even thought of! As the ceremony started Erin followed me out the door and fixed my train right before I turned the corner to walk down the aisle. Then, later, she always had my tube of lipstick nearby to reapply. (Definitely important for the photos!)

A lot of people will get the big stuff done, but WWP and Erin made sure all the little things were done right too. THANK YOU!!!!!

My fiancé (now husband) and I cannot express enough how amazing our day of coordinator Erin Rossi was for our big day.

It is important I state that from the moment I spoke with Shannon, I knew Wedding Plaaning Plus was the best option.

Any question I or my parents had Erin had the answer. It was so easy to quickly text her a question and within minutes I would have an answer. Or when I was debating what to do, she would work it out with me and help me communicate my ideas to the vendors, especially when the nerves/stress of the wedding day approaching made me incredibly indecisive. My only regret is not having her as our wedding planner from the start and is my best advice after all is said and done.

Our guests still are expressing how great our wedding was and a lot of credit needs to be given to Erin for making sure it ran as smooth as possible. Best of all, we enjoyed the wedding because Erin and Rebecca (Erin's assistant) had everything under control and no amount of "thank you's" could suffice our appreciation!
I am sure all the planners at Weddinng Planning Plus are spectacular but I am biased towards Erin so don't hesistate to ask for her!

Shannon was invaluable the day of! With her help, I planned my wedding from across the state. She made good recommendations about hair and makeup and where to have the rehearsal dinner, which were things that were tough to know about and decide not being from the area. She alerted me to potential problems that I would have never noticed. I have a busy professional life, and not a lot of family to help with the small details of planning, and we worked those tasks that would be difficult for me to complete on my own into the contract. Seriously, this was some of the best money (not worked into the original budget) that I spent. Worth it.

My husband and I got engaged and then went on a 4-month trip through Asia. We had to do a lot of the wedding planning while we were overseas. We hired WPP to help us get the rentals we needed and to do our day-of coordination. Shannon worked with us by Skype to help get us our rentals and answer all our questions. Our wedding wasn't an easy one but WPP really helped get us what we wanted. Erin was our day-of-coordinator and we couldn't have asked for anything more. She was above and beyond our expectations. I actually don't know how people can have a wedding without a wedding coordinator! She gave us a timeline, helped us plan what aspects of a traditional wedding we wanted to keep and which ones we wanted to go without. On the day of the wedding she was organized, timely, professional. She really handled things beautifully. We had a lot of elements that could have been difficult and she took care of them without us even having to be aware of it. She dealt with all our vendors and even helped us decide how much to tip everyone. She is a wedding rockstar! Thank you Erin & Shannon for a great wedding :-)

We just got married June 2016 in the Hudson Valley. I write this review from the prospective of two NYC television producers (my husband and I,) who spend our lives producing.

Firstly, I have to say rule #1 Do not skimp on a wedding coordinator, you absolutely need on so you can actually enjoy your day. Build it into the budget, no exceptions. If you can afford a full planner, even better.
Now to the oozing of my appreciation of Wedding Planning plus and my coordinator Tommie and her assistant Kate:

My initial call with Shannon was prompt, efficient, friendly and comprehensive...no run around. She asked my needs and immediately gave me rates. No one was trying to squeeze our (tight) budget etc. She was fantastic.

Now for Tommie, our Day-of coordinator; ABOVE AND BEYOND. Professional, punctual, really "got" our very eclectic, out of the box wedding. We explained to her our specific needs, which were much different than most weddings and she took on the project like a champ, truly embracing it.
-Though unconventional, our wedding had a lot of moving parts and very uncommon/rustic locations.
- Oversaw the setup of our highly styled wedding decor, making sure all was beautiful and personally took care of all of the decor we owned ( which was a lot) at the end of the night.
-Tommie stayed LATE, making sure all she promised was in order.
-Dealt with our drunken friend who was DJ'ing after the live band left (#ourpoorchoice)
-All of this and much more, because she fixed things that I am sure we didn't even know about.
-Oh did I mention her positive "I can do anything" attitude?

I can not say enough about this company and about Tommie. We looked into coordinators from NYC that were triple the cost ...that didn't have a handle on the Hudson Valley or the open mind to do the very out of the box wedding we had.

We were married this past summer in upstate New York on our university campus (where we met!). The reception was held basically in the middle of field, and Shannon planned and coordinated everything -- rentals (literally everything....chairs, tables, every fork and spoon, lighting, bathrooms, etc.), to table placements, and really the whole plan for the day. There were so many moving pieces to make the outdoor venue work, but Shannon was not phased by anything, and was so patient with us. Our wedding day was the best day of our lives and could not have been anymore beautiful or seamless, and we owe a huge thank you to Shannon for that!!!

Shannon was fantastic. We definitely didn't make it TOO easy, since we wanted to plan a destination wedding with 100+ guests in Lake Placid with only two months, from start to finish. Another planner we contacted didn't think it could be done--she didn't even think she could find us a venue--but Shannon had a list of options for us in a matter of days, and the place we ended up (Whiteface Lodge) was absolutely perfect. Shannon managed our budget, our timeline, and everything. She even received packages for us, so we wouldn't have to ship things from our home in Atlanta up to the Adirondacks. Thanks to Shannon, we always knew where we were in the wedding process, and what was left to be completed. She thought of things we wouldn't have, and kept us calm and cool on the wedding weekend. She has a great personality that is easy to get along with, and she was very laid back at the actual event. She made everything SO easy, in fact, that we were able to camp completely off the grid for the last two weeks before the wedding.

Hiring Shannon was the best wedding planning decision we made! Because we live in Washington, DC, but got married in Lake George, we relied on Shannon for local knowledge as well as her general wedding expertise. From helping us find vendors (including our photographer and DJ, who we also loved!) to a seamless wedding day, Shannon kept us organized, focused, and calm.

I first met Shannon when she planned and coordinated a friend’s wedding in which I was a bridesmaid. I was blown away by her professionalism, calm demeanor, and how easy she was to get along with. At that wedding, I told my then-boyfriend - “If we get married in upstate New York, we are definitely calling Shannon!” When we got engaged a year later, Shannon was the first vendor we reached out to after we found our venue and date. We hired her to help us find vendors and for day of coordination and she delivered big time on both fronts.

At one of our final planning meetings, my now-husband said “I don’t know how anyone does this without a planner!” Having a wedding planner helped us make sure we were organized to host the biggest party of our lives, but working with Shannon specifically was so reassuring and fun. We felt completely comfortable - and grateful! - turning everything over to Shannon and relying on her to make sure our big day ran smoothly.

We hired Aissa as the day of coordinator for our wedding at Hamilton College. It was the first wedding of our size on the college campus, so we had to troubleshoot many issues and bring everything in. When Aissa met with us and several of our vendors months before the wedding to talk through the logistics of the day, it was clear that Aissa is extremely organized, experienced, and creative. While she was extremely helpful with the preparations leading up to the wedding, she was instrumental the day of the wedding. When an electrical issue came up, Aissa thought of and perfectly executed a creative solution. She met all deliveries and setup all rentals/props exactly how we had pictured. And before we could run out of ice and wine mid-reception, Aissa already bought more. We could not have pulled of our wedding without Aissa’s help, and we couldn’t recommend WPP more highly!

Words can't explain how happy we are that we hired Wedding Planning Plus for our day-of coordinator service. We worked with Erin Rossi on our wedding (1 month prior and the the day of) and I am not kidding when I said every single day the month leading up to our wedding "Oh my gosh, what the heck would we do without her???". The month before the wedding things become crazy, no matter how organized you were beforehand. Having Erin help us tie up loose ends, coordinate with vendors, remind us about little details and tasks, etc. was absolutely amazing. Then on the day of...wow. Erin and her assistants were there through everything: Handing me water during photographs because it was so hot out, holding my shoes as we walked around for photos so I didn't have to stand in heels the whole time, making sure the ballroom was setup, coordinating with our vendors throughout the day as they arrived, distributing gratuity to vendors on our behalf and so much more. She even negotiated costs with the venue for us as the last minute because we decided to add an extra hour to the reception. Our day was flawless. WORTH EVERY PENNY.

We used Aissa as our “day of” coordinator for our wedding on Jan 1st at the Canfield Casino. She met with us a number of times in the weeks leading up to the wedding, and her advice with regards to various vendors, saved us a significant amount of money and really streamlined a hectic planning process.

While her help in the planning process was incredibly important, her contribution on the actual wedding day was even more valuable. She took on every task from herding groomsmen and maids, to re-arranging chairs and paying vendors. She was with us from the beginning our day until band played their last song (and even met up with us at a bar after the wedding to bring us our room key!). I can’t imagine how we would have pulled off our wedding without her help. This rating scale does not do justice to how helpful she was to us. She could have doubled her fee and still been worth every penny.

Was very happy that we had Erin as our coordinator for our wedding. She was such a huge help throughout the entire day and was there from the very start of the day to the end. We also booked her for our rehearsal as our officiant was unable to be there which was really helpful to run through everything with someone who knew what they were doing! She handled everything from making sure our vendors got their final payments to helping me lower my stress level and fixing my dress from when someone stepped on it. Highly recommend Erin, she was amazing!

Aissa Murray was our day-of coordinator, and my wife and I could not be happier with how our wedding weekend getaway went! Prior to our wedding, the best wedding we ever attended was coordinated by Wedding Planning Plus, so when it was our turn, we contacted them right away! Planning a Poconos destination wedding is tough, even tougher when your venue is a sleep away camp that doesn't often do weddings. We definitely had a specific image in mind for our wedding, and Aissa there in a golf cart wielding a walkie talkie every step of the way to make sure it was perfect. And it was. When its time for your special day, put your trust in Aissa and Wedding Planning Plus.

Erin Mckee was our day of wedding coordinator from Wedding Planning Plus. My husband was initially skeptical about hiring a day of coordinator but after all was said and done he told me it was the best money we spent. We really felt like we got to enjoy our wedding day and that is because Erin handled everything. She truly was amazing from start to finish.

Going into wedding planning my biggest worry was running late. We had a tight timeline the day of and I didn't want to worry about being on time. Erin was crucial in making this happen. The day of timeline she created was so detailed and helped ease my worry. I am fully convinced that without her our wedding wouldn't have gone as smoothly. My husband and I had a stress free day and I attribute most of that to Erin and her hard work.

Erin McKee was my day of wedding coordinator from Wedding Planning Plus. Let me just say this was so much more then just the day of wedding prep. This was a two month commitment from Erin and she was absolutely amazing! She was such a pleasure to work with and so eager to help with anything. I am so honored to have had Erin at our wedding. She went above and beyond.

Week’s prior to the wedding, Erin and I whittled away at a checklist to make sure she would not miss a detail. This list made me feel so good about how the wedding day was going to unfold. If anything was missing, Erin would make sure it got done.

A few weeks before the wedding, Erin met with me at the venue. She wrote down every detail of what I wanted for the wedding, contacted my vendors, and took all my stress away. I did not have to worry about a thing with Erin by my side. Erin took full control with the vendors and setting up all the details at the wedding.

Erin personally made sure I was taken care of at all times and managed to also make sure the wedding was running smoothly. She constantly checked in with me and made me feel secure the entire day.

Erin did everything from setting up the venue and communicating with vendors, to shaking out my wet wedding dress from the rain, collecting all personal items from the wedding, and helping bridal party with any and all needs.

Erin setup before the wedding and cleaned up at the end. She made sure all my belongings from the wedding returned safely to our hotel room. Not only was everything returned but also the room was set up with flowers, a heart shape on the bed, champagne, candles, our gifts and my veil hanging beautifully on the door. I was so impressed and still am.

I highly recommend Wedding Planning Plus. They made the most important day of my life that much more special and perfect!

We worked with Melissa from WPP and she was amazing. She was prepared, supportive, well-organized, upbeat, and FUN! These are all the best qualities that one can hope for in a day-of wedding coordinator. Thank you WPP for helping make our wedding even better than we could have imagined. We 100% recommend WPP to anyone looking to ensure their wedding day is stress-free!

When planning our Wedding, my husband and I never thought about hiring a wedding planner, until a family member mentioned that it might be a nice idea to hire a Day-of-Event coordinator so that we could enjoy our special day without worries and stress, enter Shannon Whitney-Anson owner of Wedding Planning Plus! Shannon’s professionalism, attention to every detail, organization, sense of humor, calmness, and her Team Bride and Groom attitude, made our day flawless, stress-free, and memorable. From connecting with us one month out to ensure all our vendors knew what to expect, to the schedules you put in place that helped make sure everyone was on the same page, where they needed to be and on time, to the rehearsal, and then the reception making sure everything got placed where it needed to be and packed up and delivered back to our room at the end of the reception, Shannon you were in complete control, allowing us to concentrate on enjoying ourselves, our families, our friends. Shannon you made EVERYTHING go perfectly, and we had an amazingly fun, and incredible day!! Saying “I DO” was made so much nicer and simpler because of you. Thank you for making us feel like family, for never making us feel any questions we had were to small, or trivial, and for helping give us a dream wedding. We made a great decision when we decided to work with you personally and would highly recommend you to anyone planning a wedding! Thank You Shannon, and continued good luck in life and in your business!
Erica and John Whittaker

Shannon Whitney Anson form Wedding Planning Plus helped this nervous Nellie and Type A personality, Mother of the Bride have a WONDERFUL day! She took so much stress from me by calmly encouraging me to give up control, and allow her to do what she does BEST… coordinate!!! As our Day of Event coordinator, Shannon helped me fully enjoy my daughter’s wedding day, by taking the worry out of the equation. I knew the minute I met and shook hands; she was the person we needed! Planning a large wedding takes time; effort and attention to detail, and Shannon helped me tie up loose ends which made for a seamless, flawless, stress-free day. With EVERYTHING under control, and under Shannon’s watchful eye, my husband and I were able to enjoy ourselves and our guests. Thank you Shannon for taking the wheel out of my hands so that I might enjoy the RIDE! You are the BEST and I would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone, anytime!!

I used Wedding Planning Plus for my day-of coordination for my wedding. In the beginning, I was speaking with the owner Shannon and she was beyond helpful in answering all my questions and was not pushy at all. When I finally decided to hire WPP for my big day, I went with a senior planner, since Shannon was a little more expensive and I wanted more than a junior planner. Unfortunately, things with that planner didn't work out and when we voiced our concerns with Shannon, she stepped right up and offered to work our wedding herself with no extra charge. She genuinely cared about putting my mind at ease and making us happy. She went above and beyond to remedy the problem and make the whole process easy and wonderful. She was on top of everything and always there for me when I had questions or needed advice. Even though she was just hired for the day, she took so much worry off of my plate even before the wedding. When the wedding day came, her and her intern Tommie were amazing. It poured all day and they were right on top of getting everything moved inside and set up like I would have liked it. They were there for me whenever I needed anything and just overall so awesome to be around. In the beginning my husband didn't think a day-of coordinator was worth it and after the amazing job Shannon did, we both know it was worth every penny!

We love Shannon! She saved me from becoming a bridezilla. Shannon is very knowledgeable and nice. I don't know much about American wedding traditions and she explained everything to me clearly and patiently. She also gave us a lot of great ideas that made our wedding a very classic one with lots of wonderful memories. Her suggestions were very valuable and helpful, so listen to her! Shannon also did a great job planning within our budget. On the day of wedding, she was with us the whole day from the morning to the end of the day, and she helped us gathered our stuff and put them in our hotel room. Without her, we couldn't enjoy our wedding so much. She's the best!

We hired Shannon for our day of wedding coordinator. She was beyond exceptional! Shannon reached out to me a month before our wedding to get started on our wedding day itinerary and was so organized! She helped us leading up to our big day and then were so incredible the day of our wedding. She was always calm and positive. Her and her assistant Tommie went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect! If anything went wrong, I never found out! Hiring Shannon was the best decision we made!

We hired Melissa, one of the Junior Planners for our "day of" coordination. It was hands down the best money we spent for our wedding. I have a very type-A personality, and I knew that if couldn't control everything the day of my wedding and be in all places at once to take care of all potential problems, I needed someone else to be, so the rest of my family and friends could relax. That is exactly what Melissa did for us. Wedding Planning Plus has unique "day of" coordination services, that start a month before the wedding. We actually started approximately 2 months before the wedding, setting up the timeline of the day, pick ups, drop offs, photo sessions, first dances, toasts, etc. Needless to say, this was being changed right up until the day before the wedding, but Melissa was endlessly patient with me. She made individualized timelines for each member of my wedding party and family members so everyone knew where they had to be all day. Our wedding day flowed seamlessly. We were actually ahead of schedule most of the day. The vendors all knew where they had to be, as she had contacted them all and confirmed the timeline with them as well. I've been to weddings where limos have been hours late picking up the wedding party, and other disasters have happened, as I was determined for that not to happen at my wedding, and thanks to Melissa, it didn't. Also, with the added complication of it pouring on my wedding day, there was always someone there to follow me around and hold my dress up out of the mud all day, which I was endlessly thankful for. I could not have gotten through my wedding day without her. I'm an attorney, and leading up to my wedding day, there just wasn't enough time in a day to accomplish all that needed to be done- thank god for Wedding Planning Plus and Melissa!!

Our wedding was very big with about 242 total guests (we invited around 287). I planned most of it on my own and was becoming extremely stressed out the last 6 weeks tying up lose ends, making last minute phone calls, and feeling confident that everyone would be going exactly how I envisioned it and planned. Because of me starting to lose my mind, I hired Aissa as a "day of coordinator" and it was the best decision I made! I regret not hiring her sooner as a wedding planner because I would have enjoyed the planning process much more. She literally took care of everything from steaming the bridesmaids dresses, to contacting and working with vendors to create a timeline, to reapplying a fake eyelash when it fell out (she had glue, tweezers, and mascara on her!), to making sure Kyle and I spent as much time partying and enjoying our day as possible. I can't even list everything she took care of because it was so much, Little things such as making sure the cooler for the trolley was filled with ice and beverages for after the ceremony...every little detail counts and she was ON POINT! I e-mailed every day with questions and was probably annoying because I tend to be a bit neurotic, but she always responded and was very patient and kind. She took care of everything I could possibly think of!!!!!! There isn't one single complaint....she even met me at the church for rehearsal on the day of her birthday celebration to hand deliver the itinerary and made sure the guys and girls knew who to match up with. She is absolutely wonderful!

From my perspective Shannon Whitney did a superb job from start to finish. On the wedding day, she was present in the background working seamlessly and tirelessly to make sure everything went off perfectly as planned ... and it did!

Working with the Wedding Planning Plus team was simply phenomenal. It was evident from our first conversation with Shannon Whitney that we were working with a seasoned pro. She quickly and efficiently counseled us through choosing a venue, DJ, florist, caterers, etc. But, what really made an impression on us was the authentic interest that Shannon had in making our wedding day perfect for us. She provided options and ideas, but when she felt that a certain element would help produce the experience we were looking for, she took the time to walk us through her vision. For example, she suggested that we do a “first look” in order to be able to spend more time with our guests after the ceremony. Who knew? It was a fantastic idea!

Melissa Jacobson was our day-of coordinator. But, she was so much than that. A month before the wedding, right as the pressure and stress started to build, Melissa stepped in and coordinated all of the last details with ease. Each week when we spoke on the phone, I came armed with an agenda. But, there was no need because Melissa was always two steps ahead of me. Our conversations were so efficient, that we would end up just laughing and chatting excitedly about the wedding day.

Our wedding was in Lake Placid, NY in late October, and it was a dream come true. Yes, it rained. Yes, someone locked me out of my room. Yes, there was a completely over-the-top wedding guest. But, I had not a worry in the world. Melissa was there at every turn, taking care of all of the details, large and small. She was cool and collected the entire time. The wedding party and our moms raved about Melissa’s famous agenda and what a phenomenal job she did. And, I don’t want to ruin the surprise for other couples, but Melissa and her intern put an extra special touch on the day that we were so happy to come back to after the reception.

Wedding Planning Plus met all of our expectations. Our wedding was perfect, and perfectly us.

Shannon worked with us on planning our wedding and she was phenomenal! She was very flexible in meeting up with us during our busy schedule and making sure we stayed on budget. We explained the type of wedding we wanted and recommended vendors that were above and beyond what we could have hoped for.

As the groom, we had decided on a country club venue before deciding to get a wedding planner and were in the process of signing a contract with them. Shannon advised my fiance at the time that there was a new venue opening up that she should look at. Personally, I did not want to keep looking but was I sure happy that she did. The new venue at 90 State was PHENOMENAL. Without Shannon's guidance we could have not had the amazing wedding that we did.

If you are on the fence about getting a wedding planner or think it costs to much, I want to tell you that SHE WAS WORTH EVERY PENNY. The entire wedding planning process was not as stressful and Shannon was there with us every step of the way.

Thank you Shannon and everyone at WPP for their excellent service and attention to detail.

We used Wedding Planning Plus to help with day-of coordination for our wedding. Both Samantha (the owner) and Ginny Beigel (our planner) were incredibly helpful and really easy to work with. Starting about a month before the wedding, Ginny skyped with us once a week to make sure everything was on track. She contacted all our vendors and made sure they were doing what they were supposed to do. Any time we came across something we weren't sure about, we asked Ginny to take care of it. And she did!

I really feel like Ginny and her assistant Alli went above and beyond our expectations. They carried chairs from the ceremony site to the reception tent, they lit candles, corralled guests, and did about a million other things. Literally nothing went wrong on the day of the wedding and I'm sure it's mostly because of the excellent, professional care that Ginny and Alli took.

I recommend them with great conviction. This company seems great and honestly it's super reasonably priced given how much they do for you. It was so wonderful to be able to relax on the wedding day and just celebrate with my family and friends, knowing Ginny was taking care of everything.

Had the pleasure of working with Aissa for our wedding day. From the first phone call I was at ease. She made everything absolutely seamless and made all my requests reality. Could not ask for more.

Aissa Murray was my day of wedding coordinator and my experience was simply AMAZING! I cannot express how thankful I am for all Aissa did to help make the days leading up to my wedding and my wedding day so perfect!

Aissa was my right hand lady and there wasn't a request that she wasn't all over! She was always 5 steps ahead of everything and I couldn't have survived my wedding day without having her by my side! From holding my flowers, my dress, putting band-aids on my blisters, and just being there in case i needed anything. Aissa really went above and beyond to make sure you were happy with all your vendors and throughout the planning process!!! As an example, I was very unhappy with my hair and makeup trial 2 weeks before my wedding and Aissa met me at the salon and immediately starting researching to find me someone that could provide me with the look I was going for. She was able to find me a hair and makeup artist and met me at the salon for a trial. I LOVED my make-up and hair and was so happy that she was able to find me someone who gave me the look I had dreamed of for my wedding!

Aissa also helped me find a bakery to bake me cookies as a favor the day before my wedding!! She even went to pick the cookies up for me and packaged them to have ready for my wedding day! Aissa is so thoughtful, caring, and really puts you first to ensure your day is just as you had planned. I can honestly say NOTHING went wrong on the day of my wedding and Aissa was the best investment I could have made for my special day!!! Go with Aissa and Wedding Planning plus, I promise that this service will make your wedding day seemless and stress free!!! Also, Aissa was definitely a friend in this entire process and it really felt like she was part of our family! Thank you again AIssa and Wedding Planning plus, you are amazing at what you do!!!
