Stephanie was AMAZING and much needed for our wedding on October 24, 2020. We were scheduled to get married directly after I finished a nursing accelerated program, in the middle of a pandemic, and I am SO glad we picked Stephanie. She was e...

verything we needed and more: very prompt with getting back to us, efficient and organized while being calm throughout any situation. We were able to meet with her twice prior to the wedding. The first meet was the basic info: what style wedding do we want, did we pick out a venue, what are the next tasks or a timeline we should follow at that specified time (8 months prior to the date). We would be in contact with her if we had any questions with the event or our vendors, and she would give quick and excellent advice. The last meet up was the week of the wedding to finalize the schedule of the event and our vendors. Stephanie was fantastic as she spent an hour with us going through every last detail to ensure our wedding day would be perfect. We invited her to our rehearsal dinner which was at the venue and she took any decorations we wanted to keep safe and verified we had everything needed for the wedding. Our wedding day was perfect and so much fun, we were relaxed as Stephanie was there to check up on us if we needed anything, and broke down the event for us once we left so that we did not need to worry about clean up. I highly recommend having a wedding coordinator, especially Stephanie, your big day should be perfect with no stress, and she did just that! She was affordable and was familiar with our vendors as well as our venue March Farms.

I am a little late on our review as our wedding was October 5, 2019. Stephanie was amazing from the first time we met. Not only did she suggest local vendors for our big day but she traveled to meet us at multiple vendor locations. We had a lot...

of questions and she had all the answers! She made us feel comfortable that everything was going work out from the start. Also, excellent communication! Even if she was away physically, she was available via email, phone or text anytime. Stephanie helped with every aspect of planning, rehearsing and day of tasks. We can’t thank her enough for everything! If you are reading this and debating on reaching out to her, do it! I would recommend her over and over again.

I need a 6th star for Stephanie!!! I cannot recommend her highly enough. I recently got married in October and took on the challenging task of having our reception in a non-traditional venue....a indoor horse riding ring. This was no simpe task...

but what made it easy was the wonderful people I had behind me and at the TOP of that list was Stephanie. Take my advice when I say, on the day of your wedding you want accountable and reliable professionals behind you and Stephanie is the BEST. Not only is she a wonderful person, she was extremely available and patient. She was readily available whether via phone or in person. She had great tools to keep up organized and unique ideas. After every meeting she eased any wedding planning anxiety I had. When the wedding day came I had peace knowing Stephanie was working in the background. She kept us on time and organized which was no easy task for our crew. I don’t know of any hiccups that occurred on the wedding day because of Stephanie’s amazing job and seamless execution. Ultimately Stephanie was instrumental in making my ideas a reality. From day one, she understood my vision and kept it at the forefront of the planning. She created a wedding that exceeded my every dream and that was the best day of my life. You will be so thankful to have Stephanie by your side. Your wedding day will be that much better because of it.

We cannot overstate the value of Stephanie. She went well above and beyond our expectations, and we realized that if we hadn't hired her our wedding wouldn't have been nearly as successful. We hired Stephanie to be a "day of" coordinator. Bef...

ore the wedding, she did a visit to our reception venue to go over plans and attended our ceremony rehearsal. On the day of the wedding, she set up everything at our reception site (perfectly), then oversaw the ceremony (programs, entrances etc), then went back to the reception site to ensure everything was still perfect. Her attention to detail is unreal. She anticipated things we never could have and got every single thing done precisely the way we needed it done. When the reception ended, she stayed at the site well past midnight cleaning up (even though we hadn't asked her to). She boxed everything up and handed it all off to our parents to bring home. When our parents left the venue, Stephanie was still working. It was incredible. During the reception itself, she spoke to all the vendors, coordinated the announcements, entrances, cake cutting and everything else. Anything that anyone needed, she got it done. Stephanie is invaluable, and her rates are beyond reasonable. If you want your big day to run smoothly, you should hire Stephanie. She'll make sure your event is perfect. Highly, highly recommend.

Steph from Atlantic Events is wonderful, and you should definitely hire her! She's creative, has beautiful and brilliant ideas, flexible, organized, and very easy to work with. She worked with us for our wedding, and she was a lifesaver. She co...

nsulted on a million different wedding details and gave thoughtful suggestions all along the way. And the day of our wedding, she did an amazing job in setting everything up (no small feat, as we had a LOT of DIY stuff!) so that everything looked polished, beautiful, and welcoming. In addition, Steph is the most lovely person to work with - she is kind, attentive to detail, and very diplomatic - super useful in making complicated events with lots of people run smoothly and beautifully. Put your faith in Steph - you won't be disappointed!

Stephanie was the coordinator for my fall 2017 wedding and she was absolutely amazing. In advance of the day she graciously drove to our venue multiple times to meet with me to discuss different ideas. For details that I was unsure of, she list...

ened to all my thoughts and then put together idea boards with visuals and pricing for me to consider. Stephanie researched everything from cake toppers and potential favors, to bakeries and florists for me. I can’t even imagine the number of phone calls, emails, and web searches she did on my behalf! I loved that Stephanie was always present and available, but not overbearing. She was always prompt with her replies to me and provided timelines regarding when she would have information for me. If we hadn’t talked in awhile she gently checked in, but never made me feel like she was quizzing me or pressuring me. Stephanie exceeded my expectations every step of the way, but none more so than on the day of my wedding. The day of, Stephanie was exceptional. At one point during set-up I realized that I didn’t have anything to do! Stephanie is so sweet but also firm in directing family, friends, and venue staff. I handed over every diagram and list I had created and she executed marvelously. I was so confident in Steph that I can honestly say I was not stressed for even one moment of my wedding day! Stephanie is a true professional and she is so skilled at blending the supportive aspects of her job with the directive aspects. You can tell she is passionate about her work and her credentials prove that she is serious about continually learning about her industry. Thank you a million times over to Stephanie for making my day perfect—one that I had time to take in and enjoy to the fullest. Five stars from this extremely happy client!!!
