I am not sure I can say enough with only 3500 characters to use but I will try my best. Starting at the very beginning, my husband proposed on May 18th 2019 while we were away on vacation in Europe. The very moment we arrived back home I was on a mission. Start planning! First step... find the perfect planner. JLO wasn't available. After little research on Instagram I came across Andrea Eppolito. It wasn't hard when you type in "luxuryweddingplannersvegas" duh she pops up. My eyes grow wider and wider as I scroll through each and every post and I knew she was my planner even before she knew it. Didn't care if she wasn't going to be available for the date I wanted we'd just have to adjust. SHE WAS GOING TO BE MY PLANNER. The next day she and I have a call scheduled and it was like talking to my long lost girlfriend. Like we'd known each other our entire lives. We bonded over our love of all things fashion and I loved how I instantly felt so at ease like I would not have a worry in the world when it came to this wedding. I knew she understood what it was that I wanted (overstated elegance) and I was confident she would execute. And she did! Fast forward to almost a year later... our wedding is cancelled due to covid. We decided that we were not willing to wait another year to be married so we said COVID be damned and with that came our elopement. In as little as 2 or 3 days Andrea pulled off a beautiful elopement ceremony for us at my boutique here in Vegas. It was a scramble and I am sure she had a million other things gong on but she made this happen and she was present for the entire process. After the elopement there would still be at least another 13-14 months before we could have our real wedding. During this time Andrea never disappeared on us. She remained available to us whenever we needed her, she remained committed we remained friends going on double dates with our men, she and I had and still have our lunch dates that we both look forward to. It was a business relationship that has blossomed into beautiful friendship. The big big day finally arrives July 18th 2021 and oh my goooodnesss yalllllll!!!!!!!! MY WEDDING WAS BEAUTIFUL!!! I can cry now just thinking about it. From the flowers, to the reception space, to the cake. Every single thing was spectacular. If I recall correctly there were no more white roses left in the state after my wedding (lol) On the actual day I'd had so many people stressing me out (family of course) and I jut remember whenever I needed Andrea she was literally right there! I don't know how because I am positive she was undertaking several different task that day she must of had some crazy magic witchery happening but I just know the moment I needed her day until night she was there. She was my peace during this entire day and that is beyond important for someone like me. She went above and beyond for myself and for my honey. Truthfully other than being sad about Covid ruining our original wedding at our original venue I can't really say that I had a time during the planning process where I was stressed out. I was absolutely comfortbable I knew that she had everything under control and I was more than confident in her capabilities and the capabilities of the rest of the team (florals, catering etc) Now it has been almost a year and I am ready to do it all over again. We must concoct a plan to get the Husband on board with a two year vow renewal! Jokes aside do yourself a favour. JUST BOOK HER!

You make me blush! I love you so much....Thank you!

From the moment we saw Andrea's work online, we knew she was "the one." She goes above and beyond for her clients and dedicates so much personal time and attention through out the entire planning process. We had 23 lovely months to spend with Andrea planning. Yes, you read 23 months correctly. LoL. She went on countless dress shopping trips all over the country, many vendor meetings,photo shoot trips,countless lunch meetings and always gave me an honest opinion not what I wanted to hear. On our wedding weekend there was not one time I stressed or worried about anything not going as planned. She keeps you in the loop and always ensures she picks the right vendors for your budget and style. She takes her expertise and your wants and meshes them together to create the best day of you life! I will never forget when she walked me into our venue for the first time. Everything was perfect and exactly what we envisioned. If you are looking for the best stop your search! You have arrived! Thank you Andrea and team for going above and beyond & making our special day so exquisite! xo

Your wedding was a dream come true! And even better, now that it's over I get to keep you as a friend! Cheers to many lunches to come with no worrying about pasta, carb counts, or fitting into a wedding dress (you, not me)! With love always.....

Choosing Andrea to be our planner was the single best decision we made about our wedding (other than choosing to marry each other, of course!). After we had made the decision to work with Andrea, the most amazing things followed, and we had Andrea with us every step of the way to help us decide how to make our wedding the most beautiful day in a way that represented us as a couple. She truly loves what she does and this was immediately apparent from the first moment I spoke with her (after which I immediately hung up and told my fiancé that I needed her in our life). Andrea is an incredible listener and has a very beautiful and unique ability to take a vision and immediately know how to execute on it in the most stunning way. Breathtaking ideas seem to constantly flow from her mind. As a bride to be, having a true professional run point on every aspect of the planning, presenting gorgeous ideas for you to consider (when you didn’t even know these ideas were possible!) and having someone available at any time to make you feel that everything is being taken care of without issue is what you want and need. This is Andrea Eppolito. Oh, and she does all of this while wearing a killer outfit, envy-worth stilettos and a smile. Andrea loves romance, beauty, love, intricacies, details, elegance and luxe touches; everything she does reflects this. Never once did Andrea tell us that something we wanted couldn’t be done. An Andrea Eppolito wedding looks and feels like no other. The wedding that Andrea planned for us was incredible but also incredibly important were the days, weeks, months leading up to our special day. I loved every single call and meeting we had with Andrea; she got us even more excited than we already were. Her energy is contagious. I miss these daily interactions with her. I am so thankful that we had about a year with Andrea leading up to the wedding so that we could truly enjoy the process. Also enjoyed were the tiramisu, pizza, tartares and various other delicious treats we shared together in either Toronto or Las Vegas at planning meetings (not to mention the incredible tasting that Andrea arranged for us at the Bellagio – truly five star service). Andrea knew which vendors would deliver on what we needed – and she nailed it. We were so happy with everyone that she introduced us to and that we used for the wedding. From décor and flowers to the string ensemble and DJ to the incredible catering team at the Bellagio, everyone that Andrea brought into our world was amazing. She kept reminding us to enjoy the planning, and that was so easy to do with her leading the way. Andrea made it her mission to plan the most gorgeous day for us – mission accomplished and more. She even surprised us the day of with some incredible touches to the reception (when I saw what she had done for us, it really challenged my ability to hold back the “ugly cry”, but I successfully did). It was the best day of our lives and still now, months after the wedding, our friends and family members still gush about how incredible the day was. Andrea is an impeccable wedding planner who will plan the wedding of your dreams. Just say yes!

So sweet! Thank you!!! I miss you, too, but know we have lots of Italian meals in our future together!

Any questions?

Andrea is a once in a lifetime wedding planner!! From the moment I had a phone conversation with her, I knew she had to be the one to plan my big day. As husband and I are both physicians, we were too busy and overwhelmed to begin to plan our destination Vegas wedding, and Andrea was the answer to our prayers! Over the following year and a half, she quickly went from my wedding planner to my confidante, friend, and when necessary- my hammer! I always have struggled being the “bad guy” and I’m a people pleaser to a fault- qualities that won’t get you far when planning a wedding! Andrea gently yet firmly will get it DONE. My sister is very hard to impress, and had ridiculed me (good naturedly of course) that I had hired a wedding planner- and even she had to admit that Andrea was the most efficient and organized coordinator she’d ever seen at a wedding and made all of my bridesmaids jobs non existent! We were able to relax, enjoy, and get ready while Andrea was behind the scenes managing all the moving parts. My now husband and I could never have pulled it off without her. From rehearsal dinner, to our multicultural tea ceremony to the nuptials and reception- Andrea was the gift that kept on giving. So thankful to continue to have her as a friend and couldn’t recommend her more!

Andrea is AMAZING! She exceeded every expectation and gave us the wedding of our dreams. My husband and I could not thank her enough, our wedding was PERFECT! Andrea is the BEST at what she does and I will always reccomend her. We love you Andrea! Thank you!

Thank you so much! Your wedding was a complete dream come true, and I adore your family to the moon and back! xoxo - Andrea

I found Andrea through a stroke of luck. My fiance and I had decided on a destination wedding in Las Vegas and with our busy schedules, we knew that in order to make this wedding a success, we needed to hire a wedding planner. I just didn't know that I would find the wedding planner of my dreams. I found Andrea's website and decided to take a chance and email her. Within 20 minutes of sending that email, I got a call back. I knew from the moment we spoke that this was the planner for me. Andrea was honest about budgets and venue options, in order to create the vision we wanted, and she was incredibly dedicated to helping us create our dream wedding. It actually takes a lot for me to fully trust someone and with Andrea I felt that trust immediately. Our wedding was stunning and the guests felt like they were attending a red carpet event. Andrea made all of our dreams come true. The moment we had our first look of the venue, I immediately started to cry. It was the moment, every girl only dreams of. The doors open and you're told to keep your eyes closed, while clutching on to your new husband and then like only in the movies, there's the big reveal. I remember opening my eyes and being in awe. I had never been to a wedding so beautiful, and it was actually mine. Being from Hawaii, we are all about family and sharing that aloha spirit. Andrea is more than just a wedding planner, she's become family and we are so happy that life brought us together.

Response from the Vendor on 01/19/2018

Aysha, You and your family are the definition of 'ohana and I adore you all. Your wedding was truly a dream come true. I love that you selected the 9th island as your location, and every inch of your wedding was perfection. From the colors ...

to the flowers, the orchids, the lighting....everything was everything. The chandelier was a once in a lifetime statement, the cake was one of the most amazing displays we have ever set up, and can we talk about the mercury dance floor? I will never forget any of you and look forward to staying in touch and seeing you all in Hawaii again soon. xoxo - ae

Andrea is the best of the best. A consummate professional-- the woman knows how to plan a wedding, and not just any wedding, the best wedding.

Being from the wedding planning/hospitality background , we have seen and experienced almost everything - so i had thought...until I met Andrea Eppolito! From our initial phone conversation to minutes before the event, Andrea tailored to our every unimaginable, outrageous, magical desires - she read us perfectly from the get go! Andrea introduced us to the idea of mermaids in the pool, a floating 7 tier - lit up- geod cake....yes lit up from the inside out, floating chandeliers, and these were just some of the breathtaking ideas. Andrea's connections in the wedding industry are all top notch - Ceci of New York (wedding invites), DBD Vegas (decor), Four Seasons Las Vegas (Venue and AMAZING food), The Grand Bevy (molecular cocktails), Daniel Park & DJ Rodney (kept the party at full throttle) to name the least. Andrea's services went well beyond just decor, she helped us source a stand-in wedding ring minutes before the event started (mine didn't get ready in time), she was literally wiping down the chairs by hand because it had rained lightly (they say rain is a blessing), she called/messaged me numerous times always asking "is there anything I can do for you?" Knowing our wedding was in Andrea's hands was the best decision we made - no stress - no excuses - only perfection! Andrea, we can't thank you enough for your patience, professionalism, and general kindness! Lets start planning our 5 year anniversary - what do you have in mind?!

Response from the Vendor on 07/25/2017

What can we do that we haven't done already? Float a cake in the pool...???...Done! Fill the water with chandeliers...???...Done! Over the top? Gorgeous? Once in a lifetime? I don't know if we can wait 5 years...But I do bet lightening ca...

n strike twice! Thank you for giving me such an amazing wedding to work on!

Words cannot express my gratitude for Andrea and the AEE team. She was the best gift I could have asked for! Andrea is a perfectionist that wants everything done right with great taste, and realistic expectations regarding your budget and timeline. I was a California bride with a destination wedding in Las Vegas, Nevada and Andrea made the entire planning process incredibly manageable despite our distance. She kept me involved throughout the entire planning process, handled all vendor communication, budget and design, while keeping me looped in on every decision. She’s very thorough and did her best to turn my ideas (no matter how little or big) into a reality. It’s almost like she was reading my mind! Andrea executed my wedding flawlessly and made the planning process enjoyable. If there was ever a last minute adjustment that need to be made, Andrea was on top of it and had it under control. She’s a trustworthy partner that’s worth every penny. Brides, please do yourself a favor and hire AEE!

Response from the Vendor on 07/25/2017

You two were so wonderful to me! Just to be able to know you and work with you both was a dream! And my God! You were just gorgeous!!!! The room! The dress! The cake! And the magazine!!! A dream come true for me....Thank you for letting...

me into your lives!

20....that's the number of months we took to plan our wedding, but it is also the number of months we took to get to know Andrea Eppolito. What started out as a marketing email sent by her through LinkedIn several years ago, grew into a professional then personal relationship. At the time she sent the email, I wasn't even engaged then, but I kept her name bookmarked and you can only guess who was the first person I emailed the VERY NEXT DAY after I got engaged on Christmas 2014!!! We met right after the new year and talked for about 3 hours! Not only did Andrea ask her "wedding planner" questions, but our conversation quickly involved all the things that friends usually talk about...I felt like I knew her for YEARS!!! It was at THAT moment I knew she was our "person." I showed Andrea a picture early on of a cake we fell in love with...and let me tell you, it was no ordinary cake. What was once only a dream, Andrea MADE SURE to make it a reality for us!!!! Not only did Andrea use this single picture as inspiration to create our one of a kind wedding cake that our family and friends are still raving and bragging about, she used that inspiration to also create this AMAZING and ever so SPARKLY wedding that will forever take my breath away....LITERALLY! I also remember the first time (out of many) that Andrea checked in on me the day of the wedding while I was getting ready, to explain any changes that she made to the ceremony or ballroom design (I know she wanted it to be perfect for us)...she then proceeded to ask if I wanted to see pictures...I'm guessing for the reason I might stress about what those changes may look like. Sure you know what things look like on paper and what you purchased...flowers, furniture and such, but to see it come to life is a whole different thing. I told Andrea that I didn't want to see any pictures and I don't need any explanation...that I trusted her, WHICH I DID WHOLEHEARTEDLY!! I remember when the drapes opened to expose me to not only the ceremony space FOR THE FIRST TIME, but to my two sons waiting on each side for me to take their arm and walk me down the aisle, how I COULDN'T BREATH because of how amazing and gorgeous the space was!!! To an already VERY EMOTIONAL day, MY BREATH WAS LITERALLY TAKEN AWAY and I had to work that much harder to hold back the tears...because who likes an ugly crier....right??? :) The bottom line, Andrea is AMAZING and Andrea is and always will be considered our close friend. All she wanted for us was to be happy and create a day that was designed entirely and solely FOR US...and she worked extra hard and did what she had to do to make that happen...WITHOUT LIMITS! Andrea, thank you for all you do!! You always say "thank you for picking me"....well, THANK YOU for the opportunity for us to be able to pick you!!! You have given us the gift of a timeless and forever memorable wedding that we will always be in love with! Thank you for representing exactly who we are and fulfilling our dreams.... With much love and gratitude, Jennifer & Zane Weber

Andrea gave us the wedding of our dreams. We connected with Andrea through our venue (Mandarin Oriental Las Vegas) and from the first lunch we had with her, my parents and I knew that she would make our wedding truly special. What she produced was above even our wildest, most spectacular dreams! Andrea listened to our vision for a romantic, wistful, traditional Jewish wedding and gave us everything we envisioned and more. Every detail was thoroughly thought out. Her vendor suggestions were spot on. She was organized, professional, energetic, and fun! Leading up to the wedding, so many people, knowing what a large production it was going to be, asked if I was stressed about the big day. My response was always "No, we have Andrea!" Having that piece of mind when my husband and I were about to embark on such a large life event was worth every penny. Knowing that we could show up for the wedding weekend and not be worried about any detail was such a relief. Andrea has a lot of wonderful qualities. She is detail-oriented, she's creative, she listens. However, Andrea's best trait is her heart. She truly wants her couples and their families to be happy and she is always aware that this is one of the most important days in your life. She makes you feel like you are the most important person in her life at the moment, and that is not something that is easy to come by. I can honestly say that Andrea is a friend and we will stay close even though our big day has passed.

Andrea was the best wedding planner EVER. My spontaneous wedding turned out better than if I planned it myself because of my wedding planner/fill in bestie and maid of honor. Andrea is super connected and a service ninja in the art of weddings. In TWO DAYS she found me amazing photographers, videographers, a cake, a makeup artist and hair person, and just made everything flawless. She's incredible, classy, and makes it all look so easy!! Do yourself a favor and go with Andrea - my bestie from my wedding day - she made our wedding a dream.

Response from the Vendor on 01/19/2018

We did have the most amazing time, didn't we! Sometimes, the spontaneous elopement is the very best way to do it! And I must say....you two did it better than I had ever seen... Miss and love you both...ae

Our wedding was flawless. Everything came together perfectly and it looked spectacular. Andrea was incredibly helpful every step of the way. Living in Manhattan and being married in Las Vegas meant we couldn't have navigated vendors nearly as well without her and all of her recommendations were fantastic. We worked together for quite awhile and hashed out all of the details of course, but when the big day actually came, I realized even further that Andrea's help was immeasurable. Anything we needed was handled quickly and efficiently - she managed all of the vendors, the entire bridal party (including both sets of divorced parents), grandparents, the two of us and her own assistants and she didn't miss a beat. Hiring her was not cheap and now, having seen everything come to fruition, I completely understand why. I highly recommend Andrea Eppolito Events for a unique, fun, perfectly executed event that is guaranteed to match your vision.

Andrea was a great wedding planner. She worked incredibly hard to make sure that my day was perfect! I couldn't have asked for a better wedding planner

When we began planning our destination wedding in Las Vegas, we were completely overwhelmed. So many different venues, choices, price points, it was out of control! We searched for Wedding Planning, and thankfully we came across Andrea Eppolito! She responded to us right away with a personable note, unlike the form emails we received from other planners. Based on her "Love Notes" from her webpage, and a great first conversation we knew we had to have her plan our wedding. Within weeks of hiring her, we had our venue, date, and first vendor contracts drawn up. From there all the wedding planning went like clockwork, by the time the summer came around we were all done. She told us to enjoy the summer, and do not worry about our fall wedding, music to our ears. The day of the wedding, she helped coordinate everything from the floral to the First Look, Andrea even had time to make us a plate for dinner! One request I had due to my love of Star Wars, was a couple stormtroopers to escort my grooms cake into wedding as a special surprise for our guests. Andrea came through, and made that a reality, she even got them to stick around for photos with all our guests, it was a huge hit! All our guests commented to us, we had the best wedding they ever went to, and what a great job Andrea was doing behind the scenes and overall. Andrea is truly the best wedding planner anyone can ask for. Thanks Andrea!

Once we got engaged last November, we knew right away we wanted to get married in Las Vegas. We have such good memories on vacations there and wanted to share this destination with our families and friends. We visited Las Vegas the following month, and unsure where to have it, visited multiple venues. We accumulated many packets of information, across many, many different venues in Las Vegas. Once we got home with all of the packets spread out, we were completely overwhelmed. The choices and price points were endless! We then took to Google, and searched for Wedding Planners in Las Vegas, and found a few names. We sent out emails for help, and of the ones we sent, Andrea Eppolito immediately responded (within minutes!) with a personal email, and her contact information to set up a call. From the other planners we reached out to, we received form emails back… nothing personable about that at all! After our first call, we knew we knew wanted Andrea right away. Plus her love notes of all her successful weddings from her webpage made us feel confident that our wedding was in the right hands. Within a few days, based on our budget she helped prepare, we had our venue and date set for Ghostbar at the Palms! A few days later, she had our own personalized Wedding Page set up we could share with our guests, which also served as a convenient Save the Date! Over the next few weeks, our planning moved at lightning speed, but was never overwhelming. Every aspect of our wedding from the photographs, to the hair and make-up, Andrea gave us various choices for us to pick from keeping our pre-determined budget into consideration. We came out to Vegas the following April for our engagement photographs and food/cake tasting (yum!), which Andrea helped us set up, and even escorted us to both sites. She was so personable with us during this time, and throughout the whole wedding process, which made us feel even more at ease with our upcoming wedding. Whenever we needed to talk, email or text message, Andrea always responded right away. By the time the end of May came, we had finished up all the major planning. Before we broke for the summer, Andrea wrote up a perfect summary of our relationship up until the engagement, which was wonderful to share with our families and friends. The day of the wedding was finally upon us. We had a personalized timeline for each of us to follow, to know exactly how the day would go. Andrea was with us the whole day, constantly running from place to place to make sure it all went to plan. She helped all of the ladies with getting ready, placed the floral arrangements, and even coordinated the setup of our First Look! During the reception, she made time to make each of us plates of the food, and helped make suggestions to our photographers. All of our guests commented to us what we already knew; what a wonderful job Andrea did, and what a relief it must have been for us to have her, which we wholeheartedly agreed. Then we heard the words we always wanted to hear from our guests, “this, by far, is the best wedding we have ever attended”. Music to our ears and a true testament to the greatest decision we made by choosing Andrea Eppolito as our wedding planner. Thanks Andrea, we could not have had such a successful wedding without you. You are truly one of a kind, and incredibly amazing! I am so lucky to be an Andrea Eppolito bride!

To put it simply there is nothing that Andrea can't do! She is there from start to finish to make sure that you get everything you could possible dream of, from the smallest detail to the largest request. She made my wedding very stress free (which was a concern when I first started planning from afar) and the day was more then I could have ever imagined. All our friends are still talking about how much fun they had! You can't go wrong with Andrea as your wedding planner!

From The Bride: Like many of you reading this review, I debated with myself if I needed a wedding planner. I am the typical Type A personality that cares about every detail being done right. I wanted a luxurious romantic wedding with forest and renaissance details that my guests and I would never forget. Would someone I didn't even know be able to understand the vision in my head and bring it to life? And, like many of you, I debated if I should spend money on having a planner or use it elsewhere in my budget. I can honestly say hiring Andrea was single-handedly the best decision I made. Andrea knew exactly what questions to ask me (and my groom) to gather the details that were important to us. She also knew exactly when to contact me about the wedding and when to just let us relax and think about things ourselves. Between my groom being deployed overseas, and then moving across the country, we had a hectic enough year and plenty on our plates. Andrea made planning our wedding fun and exciting. Her connections with vendors and venues not only gave us the best bang for our buck but also made it possible for us to have a wedding in a venue that normally is exclusive to its own internal team. (And it was my dream venue!) She made things easy by presenting us with fully researched and concise options for vendors, it was easy just to pick from a few options. And occasionally when the options didn't work for me, Andrea would be back with others. It was great to have things presented so simply rather than looking for vendors ourselves browsing long lists. On our wedding day, I was all smiles all day long. Andrea and her team brought my dream wedding to life. Andrea was there all day long taking care that all details were in order and keeping us on schedule. I felt like a princess and could truly relax and enjoy our special day. On top of planning the actual big day, Andrea also helped us plan a beautiful rehearsal dinner and had great suggestions for a cabana day at the pool for the day after the wedding. This brought everything together and made our destination wedding a complete event. The wedding exceeded our guest's expectations and everyone told us how well done every detail was. I was so happy to be an Andrea bride! So if you're looking to have the wedding of your dreams Andrea will make the process and the big day spectacular! From The Groom: As the groom, my only requirement for the wedding day was that my bride got everything she wanted. As you can see, Andrea and her team made that happen without a hitch. The months leading up to the wedding, which are usually hectic, were pretty care free as my bride passed ideas to Andrea and everything fell into place. Without Andrea, this destination wedding would have been impossible to plan. Andrea knew everything that needed to happen and how it would occur, much better than I ever did. All I had to do was show up… and I bet there was a plan even if I didn’t do that.

Kay & Ross - I will never forget our time together and your gorgeous Venetian wedding! I just loved making this happen for you and cannot wait to see you both again!

Andrea has gone above and beyond for my husband and I. I cannot praise her enough! Andrea not only aims to please, but will do whatever it takes to make your wedding day even that much more special. She is professional, and very generous with her time. My wedding day was a huge success and I owe it all to her.

Response from the Vendor on 07/03/2015

Oh my! Thank you so much! I could not appreciate it more!

Solution-focused. Energetic. Positive. With a touch of sass and keen customer focused. That's Andrea Eppolito! Wedding planning is stressful, especially from another country. This did not derail Andrea. With flexibility, structure, and thought she planned our dream wedding--a dream created by a bride in Australia with only a vision and no idea how to execute! Rest assured. Enter Andrea - AKA Superwoman in heels. With a snap of whip, she coordinated vendors, served as our voice (in our absence), and added all the final touches of our dream day. Wedding planning or not, she's got the skills to make stuff happen. Period. Still have post-wedding glow...and it's mostly because of her. DREAM COME TRUE...if you want a day to remember, contact her.

Response from the Vendor on 07/03/2015

My bride turned internet bestie! I could not love you more. This wedding was a dream come true for me and I am so lucky to now have you and Juan as my friends!

Where do I even begin?! We planned a destination wedding in Chicago (as marriage equality only recently became a reality in our home state of Nevada). My husband and I were very particular and hands-on throughout the almost year-long planning process, often alternating in the role of "Groomzilla," but Andrea handled us like a true professional, with grace and charm, always keeping us in line and on track to create an unforgettable event. We customized every element of our wedding - creating a personal logo that branded all printed materials from invitations to table tents and name cards, the cake topper, projection, embroidered socks, bow ties... you name it, it was one-of-a-kind. Don't even get me started on the guestbook, one of the most unique things I've ever seen. Like the Never-Ending Story, it contained artist renderings of some of our favorite photos, our invitations and printed materials, and with pages for our guests to leave personal messages for us. It's a living, elegant scrapbook of our lives that will continue to grow with us. The weekend of our wedding, we encountered a series of unfortunate events - including losing our hair/makeup artist for the grooms and moms and a minor incident at the Aurora Radar Control Tower that only wiped out all flights to O'Hare, Midway, and Milwaukee airports (then resulting in sold-out flights to any city within driving distance) and left 25+ guests stranded in random cities or just stuck at home. Andrea helped us keep everything under control and calm our nerves, helping us realize that certain things are just out of our control. When it came to anything that remained within our control, though, Andrea was on top of it. With Andrea's help, we transformed a fairly standard suburban country club banquet room into a fantasy event fit for royalty, surpassing all expectations. Draping, bling, glitter, gunmetal, fuchsia, orchids, crystals, candles, uplight, white vinyl wrapped dance floor, globe projection of our custom logo (m&r), a white vinyl wrapped stage with highback white leather love seat for the sweetheart table - everything we wanted and more. People in the neighboring wedding couldn't help but peek with curiosity, with countless attempts by their guests to crash our wedding (can't blame them). The entire night was flawless and unforgettable. Andrea has a personal touch unlike any ordinary planner - throughout the night she checked in on each of us, not just to make sure we were in place, but to make sure we were taking moments to truly take in the night. Not one detail was overlooked, and most importantly, we didn't have to worry about a thing, other than saying "I do" and dancing our tails off in celebration. To top it off, she wrote the most beautiful blog with behind-the-scenes photos that truly captured the spirit of the night. Being able to share that with the guests who didn't make it was priceless and made everyone feel like they were there. Thank you Andrea for making my dreams come true and for being such a special part of the Best. Day. Ever.

Thank yoiu so much for this review! I never thought of either of you as Groomzilla, although I do love the visual! Your wedding was such a beautiful expression of the two of you, and that guest book will forever go down as one of my favorite ...

things!

Let me begin with how I live in Florida and needed a planner for our Las Vegas Destination wedding. I knew I wanted to have a planner that I could really trust and depend on to make decisions for me since I couldn't be in Vegas. I knew from the first time I met Andrea she would help make my wedding dreams come true and I was NOT wrong. Throughout the wedding planning Andrea was so helpful and always there when I needed something or had questions. She was great at making sure I got everything I wanted while staying within our budget and of course my husband(then fiancé) loved that. When it came to the big day I had no worries. Andrea had everything under control. I had no worries and I could just enjoy my day. When it came to the decor, flowers, and cake I could not be happier. I told Andrea what I wanted and between her and the amazing team of vendors that she uses, I had the wedding of my dreams! I would HIGHLY recommend Andrea Eppolito as a wedding/event planner. She is hands down THE BEST!!

“Your wedding is the classiest, most beautiful event I’ve ever attended.” It’s been almost a year since I married the love of my life, and I still hear this quote from everyone we know. This is not due to a gargantuan budget, or months of meticulous fine-tuning; it is solely due to the talent and professionalism of Andrea Eppolito. I’d finally found the perfect man, but when it came to planning my perfect day, I was clueless and completely overwhelmed. I didn’t know where to start or how to budget our money. I didn’t know how to find reliable vendors, and I was struggling to coordinate a wedding party that was flying in from six different states! I was concerned that Andrea would not be able to work with me because she is based out of Las Vegas, and the wedding would be held in Tucson, Arizona. To make matters more complicated, my groom was living in Washington. Not only did she not shy away from the challenge of a destination wedding, she was excited to highlight the flavor of the local community…a detail that was very important to my family and in-laws. Andrea helped me create a functional budget and educated me about realistic quotes from vendors. She taught me how to allocate our money in a way that was affordable but didn’t sacrifice quality. Perhaps most importantly, she encouraged me to incorporate my quirky ideas into the wedding to keep the event personal and unique. My husband and I had taken some of our engagement photos in a library, and I wanted to somehow involve books in our wedding décor. I was quick to second-guess my idea and told Andrea I was scrapping it. She wisely told me, “Don’t. Your love of books is something special about your relationship. That’s what a wedding is supposed to be- showcasing your love and who you are as a couple. That is what will make your event memorable.” Andrea came up with the idea of finding classic love stories at used bookstores and incorporating them into the centerpieces. The guests raved about the look and theme. When the day of the event arrived, Andrea somehow corralled our squabbling bridesmaids and rowdy groomsmen into a timeline that took the stress off my shoulders and allowed me to focus on enjoying the big day. Every detail was taken care of, and the event was seamless. Some people approach their job with a “let’s get it done” attitude. Andrea raises her craft to an art form, and dedicates herself to creating beautiful memories for starry-eyed couples. She is innovative while timeless, hilarious while professional, and above all, gracious and lovely. I’m immensely proud of the wedding she produced for us, and even more delighted to now call her my friend.

ANDREA IS WORTH HER WEIGHT IN GOLD!!!! As I start to write this review I find myself at a loss for words because there are so many wonderful things I want to say. I contacted Andrea the Saturday after I got engaged. I just had emailed her through her website. She responded immediately! She was working a wedding out of town but still took the time to email me explaining that she was doing a wedding and set up a time to talk the next day. I have been so impressed and happy with her communication throughout these whole 8 months. She answered my calls, texts, emails, facebooks, etc...morning, noon, and night! Andrea went above and beyond on so many occasions. This included me dragging her to dinners, went to every single meeting with every vendor, site inspections, walk throughs, you name it she was there! When my parents moved shortly after the planning process started, Andrea immediately stepped in and became my family. She even was with me through every dress fitting! Whenever a "problem" would arise during this process I truly felt safe and secure knowing Andrea was working on it. There wasn't anything that she can't fix or can confidently change. She adapted to everything thrown at us, including being told by our ceremony site we had to move it two weeks prior to the wedding! Andrea was able to lead me in the right direction when choosing vendors. She helped me find a florist, DJ, caterer, venues, dress maker, bakery for the cake, photographer and videographer. She kept in constant contact with all vendors throughout the whole process. When they big day finally arrived everyone was updated with the timeline and knew exactly what to do. It helped the whole day run smoothly. There isn't a day that has gone by that my family doesn't talk about how thankful we are for Andrea. Without her, my wedding would have never reached its potential. I STRONGLY recommend Andrea for all of your wedding or event needs. Simply put, she is AMAZING!!!

When I first started planning the wedding, I was skeptical that I needed a planner. The venue offered a day of coordinator and I figured I could plan the rest. As a wedding caterer and restaurant owner, I had worked closely with many planners and knew how the process worked. However, about mid-way into the process, I realized that I just wasn't going to have the time to finish all the planning so I decided to blindly search for wedding planners. I talked to many different coordinators and planners. Most planners were all about the same and offered the same services for about the same price. Then, I stumbled upon Andrea Eppolito Events. She was the only one that I talked to that actually asked me REAL questions about my wedding. She actually WANTED to know all the details of my big day and what MY vision was. It wasn't just the same basic questions that everyone else asked. She wanted to know me on a personal level and made me feel comfortable that I would have someone to help guide me through the entire process. I'll be honest and say she wasn't the least expensive planner I found, but the service she offered was WORTH EVERY PENNY and more. Leading up the wedding, she negotiated with all the vendors for me and got discounts that I wouldn't have otherwise gotten. Her knowledge and contacts within the industry were invaluable in helping me select the right vendors to get the job done at the price I was comfortable with. It cut my planning time in half! On top of that, knowing that she was with me every step of the way made me feel comfortable that on the day of the wedding, she would know EXACTLY what I wanted. We ran into some huge issues with the vendors and knowing that I had Andrea handling things made me feel at ease and stress free. On the day of the wedding, she showed up with four people to help coordinate the events of the day. She was organized, efficient, and on point. Her timeline was met to perfection and the entire night went off without a snag. During the ENTIRE night, from start to finish, I didn't worry about a SINGLE thing. Do you know how amazing it is to actually be able to ENJOY your wedding day without worrying about a single thing? That alone was priceless. My vision for the wedding was executed to perfection and I had nothing to do with it besides communicating what I wanted. Andrea made everything happen and the wedding was beyond my imagination. To top it all off, just to show you what a trooper she is and how dedicated she is to her profession, she actually BROKE HER FOOT during the day trying to assist at the first look photo session and managed to work through the entire night on it. She was unstoppable! She was caring, compassionate, and even lent me her own personal diamond earrings for the wedding. Hiring Andrea was the best decision I ever made and it was because of her that the wedding was so successful. I attend, cater, assist, and help plan weddings all the time, but the service she provided was beyond expectations. I'm sure there was so much more that went on behind the scenes and so many things that could have gone wrong....but I was blissfully unaware. Andrea made the night and I guarantee she will do the same for every one of her brides. Thank you Andrea for such an amazing job!!! I want to get married again because you made it so easy to do!!

Oh My...I am overwhelmed! Thank you for writing such an amazing review! I am back up and walking on both feet, and hope to see you two and your friends again soon!

So many of my friends told me that the wedding planning process was going to be extremely stressful. Through my process I didn't find it to be very stressful at all and I know the reason is because I worked with Andrea! I can't imagine having gone through the wedding planning process without her by my side. She helps you with your vision for the big day and then guides you to vendors that will help carry out your dream. Andrea was my best assest during the planning process, but on the actual wedding day is when you will really be amazed by her organization skills and experience. I actually enjoyed my wedding day because that was all I had to do! People have told me that it was the most beautiful wedding that they have been to. They have also said they have never seen a bride and groom have so much fun and be such a part of the party. Thank you Andrea!!

Andrea is an amazing wedding planner!! She helped my husband and I to have the wedding our dreams. She helped put us in contact with amazing vendors that helped to create an unforgettable day, that went off without a hitch. Andrea was so great at dealing with my OCD and always getting back to me right away, no matter day or night. I couldn't imagine our wedding without her and wouldn't recommend anyone plan a wedding or event without Andrea! She is more than just our wedding planner, she is part of our family now!

Response from the Vendor on 04/13/2014

Thank you so much for picking me and letting me be a part of your amazing day...and now your family!

I can't say enough great things about Andrea Eppolito!!! She was a real life saver! Our wedding was perfect and it was all thanks to her. Andrea took all the stress away in planning a destination wedding. It was a truly a great experience thanks to her!! Trust me when I say...SHE IS THE BEST!!!!!

10/23/2013 • katherinegarcia

My wedding planner Andrea saved our wedding so many times. She has been so SO so amazing! She knows about so many aspects of event planning that I never even knew about. Her style is high end and classy. She is quick thinking, especially in a jam! She was easily reachable whenever I was having a meltdown. She is excellent at what she does! I highly recommend her!!! I was on the fence about getting a wedding planner and its costs, but my experience with Andrea taught me that she is worth every penny, plus more! She created SWOT analyses comparing vendors, saved me so much time and money by working out deals with the vendors, organized everything from small to big details, created a super detailed day-of timeline, and most importantly, ran a tight show at the actual wedding. I am so impressed with how everything turned out! :)

10/06/2013 • Brian D

We had a great experience thanks to Andrea and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a professional to plan their wedding. She was highly responsive, detail orientated and took great care of us throughout the day. Thank you Andrea we appreciated all your hard work!!!

We can not recommend Andrea Eppolito Events enough! Without Andrea we could not have had a wedding so amazing and stress free. From our first phone call with Andrea, we knew we had a winner! The weight Andrea took off our shoulders was unbelievable. Nothing was too hard or difficult for Andrea. She had us all organised in no time. Andrea goes above and beyond for the bride and groom, from the get go. We did not stress about anything that Andrea had planned for us, we had total trust in her ability and the way she kept us informed with everything, from quotes to ideas to recommendations. The photographers, videographers, cake people, the decor and floral specialist, make-up and hair, DJ, celebrant, suit hire to name a few were all outstanding! Andrea and her team on the wedding day were the best support team anyone could ever ask for! Andreas staff were running around buying cuff links last minute for us. They stayed to the end and were so much fun. We can not wait to have another big event and would definitely have Andrea Eppolito Events plan it again!! We can not thank Andrea enough!! Do yourself a favour, call Andrea and just enjoy your wedding, the only thing I worried about on the day was, I hope he loves my dress.

Though hiring a wedding coordinator was not in our original plan, by chance and through sheer luck, I learned about Andrea and why hiring her would be invaluable, shortly before our daughter's Vegas destination wedding. From the moment Andrea jumped on board, she wanted to do anything and everything possible to put us at ease and make sure that no detail was left unattended. Working with Andrea was a total pleasure; she is not only a kind and caring person, but extremely knowledgeable, creative and well-organized. Once our wedding weekend arrived, Andrea and her assistants went out of their way to take wonderful care of the bride and groom, our entire family and guests, above and beyond the call of duty. I feel so grateful and lucky that because of her, our entire wedding weekend went flawlessly and was even more beautiful than I could have imagined. In a word, Andrea Eppolito is phenominal!

Being somewhat of a self-proclaimed OCD bride, i was not sure that i needed a wedding planner...until Andrea came into the picture, that is! Andrea will do things for you that you didn't even realize you needed, which is why you need her. She was so organized, so helpful, and beyond on top of everything. She was always easy to reach and available. Planning from out of town could be stressful, but she took a lot of the stress out of that. She brings a whole team with her on your wedding day to make sure everything is flawless. I can't say enough great things about Andrea. You won't be sorry if you hire her to make your wedding day perfect.

My husband and I had some ideas of what we wanted for our wedding. Andrea immediately understood our vision and style - and she delivered that and more! Since this was a destination wedding, we really counted on Andrea to keep it all together for us. She understood the importance of communication and listened to our needs. We spoke to Andrea on the phone weekly and exchanged multiple emails. She was always prompt to respond and always in a timely manner. She always made time for us and was super flexible on the number of times we could email, call, and text. We really appreciated it when she would ask us, “is there anyone else I can do for you?” She worked with us to identify vendors and was helpful in working within our budget. She even coordinated shipments of all of our wedding items. Not only that, but she was kind of enough to let us borrow some of her own personal items for our big day. She kept us focused and on track throughout the planning process. She took out a lot of wedding stress associated with planning a destination wedding for us. Her organizational skills, dedication to detail, and professionalism is excellent. The quality of her work is truly invaluable. Our wedding day went flawlessly. If there were any issues, we didn’t know about it. All of our friends and family members loved her and her entire team. She made sure things moved along as scheduled but was always flexible. She really was more than just a planner to us. She was someone that gave us advice and even helped us with events outside the wedding. She put us in touch with someone for our bachelor/bachelorette party, rehearsal dinner and she even helped me pick out my hairpiece! What we loved most about Andrea is how genuinely passionate she is about what she does. We could not have done this without her. She and her team did so much more than we expected. One of the best decisions we made was hiring Andrea – highly recommended.

Andrea was absolutely fantastic to work with! She took on my wedding even though she was already so very busy, and she was always available for any question or concern I could have had. I could not thank her enough for her help.

When my husband and I got engaged we knew we wanted to have a destination wedding in Vegas. We live in NY so planning a destination wedding had its challenges. We knew we needed a wedding planner to help make it all happen. We wanted to get married at the Hard Rock Hotel in Vegas and when I inquired about a wedding planner recommendation, they immediately referred us to Andrea Eppolito. After my first conversation with Andrea we instantly connected and I knew she could help make my vision a reality. Andrea worked with us for months on end and after hundreds of emails and phone calls everything came into place. Everything I pictured in my mind, in preparing for the big day, became a reality. Everything was amazing and Andrea really made it all happen. She knew the best vendors to use and got us the best prices. She always had great suggestions and recommendations. My wedding was everything I asked for and more!!!! Thank you Andrea!

8/15/2012 • Olivier D

Andrea and her team made this engagement proposal a success. She worked with me remotely from Canada to organize all the details of the proposal and everything was done with taste, respecting my budget and preferences. She connected me with a great local florist, suggested the hotel (Cosmopolitan), arranged for video and professional photographer. She has a good network of professional and a sense of timing. She respected the taste and preferences of my future wife as well and arranged for pictures of our kids. I would highly recommand Andrea.

Words cannot express how truly amazing Andrea Eppolito & Eppolito Events is. My husband and I were wed on May 20, 2012. We received Andrea’s contact information from a mutual contact and were told we MUST speak to her. Being a wedding with a budget we thought there was no way we could foresee using a wedding planner. However working with Andrea showed us true compassion in the wedding industry. Before meeting her we were treated as dollar signs when calling around different venues. That aspect of Eppolito Events was truly priceless. Andrea personally responded to all of our correspondence and went so far above and beyond a “wedding planner”. At times she played mentor, mother nurturer. In true form to know Andrea is to love her. The details were created with Andrea’s sensational technique of designing an overall concept for the event including feelings and emotion. From the color scheme to the music she helped us create “our day”. In my own mind I have been planning my wedding since I was a young child and Andrea perfected that vision and made sure to assist in exceeding my dreams. She truly was/is a Dream Come True for Me. She was caring and showed true compassion for our wedding and will forever be a part of our happiest memory. Our marriage and love is unique to us, but in a city and world dominated by monetary wealth Eppolito Events remains priceless. She did not create the event, which she could have easily done, what she did was make OUR vision a reality!

Knowing that you two are happy, married, and living the life you always wanted together is the best gift I could be given! Looking forward to witnessing many more milestones in your life!

Andrea Eppolito is the quintessential wedding planner and I feel so lucky to have found her. She listened to our vision of our wedding day and proceeded on to create a day we will never forget. From the flowers and musicians, to the perfect minister and finally to the ceremony venue itself she touched our hearts with her amazing attention to detail while putting us at ease to have a blast. She introduced us to some of Las Vegas’ most important vendors like Adam Trujillo Photography. His images of our day take my breath away. My perfect hair and makeup by Levey and Janine who own “your Beauty Call” came together flawlessly in my suite only to be compromised by the tears brought to my eyes when I saw Naakiti’s bouquet created for me! What a fabulous morning. Because of both personality and profession (I am a Texas fundraising event planner) my whole life has been centered on pleasing other people. Andrea took this off my shoulders and with perfection, seamlessly put together all of my dream elements for my wedding. She is worth three times and more what we paid for her services. We love her! BTW, our wedding day was January 24, 2012!

My husband and I used Andrea for a full service coordination when we got married. I think that the best thing about using her was that she really made us feel secure, and we didn’t need to worry about anything. Andrea is probably the most responsive person I have worked with - professionally and for my wedding. She returned phone calls and emails quickly, and gave us a lot of emotional support. We loved her! We had a very specific vision for our wedding, and Andrea really was able to elevate that. She took us from the basic idea and filled in the gaps with a lot of personal touches. Andrea is 100% authentic, With her experience and contacts she was an easy choice and well worth the investment. Andrea is 100% authentic and a real advocate for her couples We can’t thank her enough as our day was everything we hoped it would be.

Response from the Vendor on 11/17/2011

Dear Vivienne, Thank you so very much for your words! They mean the world! I was honored to bring your vision to life and thrilled to know that you have such beautiful memories. Thank you for allowing me to do that!Always...A
