Bash was a great choice for our intimate Catskills wedding. They knew exactly what we were going for and embraced our unconventional event fully. Laura and Alicia knew what we needed before we did! Wonderfully professional and an absolute pleasure to work with. Highly recommend.
One of the best decisions in our wedding planning was hiring Bash. At first, we tried planning on our own since I've done event planning for work, but it became a second job to manage (we picked a venue that needed everything brought in). Everyone was surprised at how stress-free we were during the planning process, which we attribute to the fact that we knew Bash had everything handled. Alicia and Laura helped guide us through all the details big and small that we never would have thought of on our own.
They have incredible attention to detail, strong relationships with local vendors (helped guide us to who would be the best fit for our needs, negotiated better pricing for others, etc.), and understood the aesthetic vision we had and were able to bring it to life. They were always responsive, gave us detailed and transparent updates on budget every step of the way, and guided us through conversations with other vendors so we always knew our options and that our desires were being heard and met.
The day of the event, everything went by without a hitch – they were working their butts off for us so we didn't have to think about a thing except enjoying the time with our family and friends. Can't recommend them highly enough!
Alicia and Laura were amazing from the moment they came on as my “month-of” planners! We had such great communication and they really helped me put all of the final details together. They were also great with helping me mitigate any issues with other vendors and helped keep me sane leading up to the big day. They kept our timeline running smoothly and we’re a huge help setting up and breaking down after the wedding ended. They have an incredible eye for event design and my reception area was absolutely stunning thanks to them!
Alicia and Laura are lovely woman who go above and beyond to make sure your day goes perfectly. These ladies spoke with us constantly and helped us every step of the way. They recorded all the information we needed to make our day successful. From helping us find vendors that suited us, to keeping track of our finances, to choosing the perfect items to complete the look we wanted for our wedding, they were incredible! Our wedding looked absolutely stunning day of and we have to give much of that credit to these ladies. Bash events does not disappoint!
You will not regret hiring Bash Events. Alicia and Laura are friendly, communicative and absolute pros. Their services are highly recommended!
My partner and I had started to plan our wedding without the extra support and quickly learned the value of hiring proper planners. After about a week of having Alicia and Laura onboard to help us out, they had already accomplished in a few days what my partner and I had attempted to do over the two months prior!
They know all of the right questions to ask and have great relationships with vendors and business owners all over Sullivan County. They were able to step up and save the day when we lost our florist less than a week out from our wedding day.
There’s no need to stress with Bash on your side!
5 stars doesn't even do it justice.
We got married at the Barn on Hubbard, who work with Bash as wedding planners. They were the most important, talented, and dedicated vendor we worked with -- our wedding would've been completely unmanageable without Alicia and Laura, who wrangled every vendor and had worked out every small detail before our big day. We went through everything imaginable, including a last-minute COVID situation with folks close to us that were part of the ceremony, and Bash was always there to support us and brainstorm solutions. The layout, decor, etc were carefully thought out by Laura, who has decades of experience in interior design and worked closely with us to realize our vision. Alicia, on the other hand, thought through all the operational details (including the day-of wind speed, which was very relevant to our ceremony) and ensured everyone was doing their part, couple included! (they even tracked down an unresponsive vendor and took the stress off us -- seriously, you NEED to hire Bash).
After a year of planning calls and figuring out everything together, Bash was also there the entire weekend of our wedding making sure everything went as planned. We did not have to think about logistics whatsoever the day of, and just got to enjoy our wedding to its fullest.
Bash, we were so lucky to be able to work with you. Thank you a million times again.
We cannot say enough about how amazing Alicia and Laura were! I never thought I needed or wanted coordinators but they were a complete dream! They came prepared with questions we had never even thought about and were so understanding with our visions of the day. The minute they arrived they were ready to go and were always ten steps ahead of me. We had a medical emergency halfway through the reception and they were so instrumental in helping the rest of our guests as well as coordinating on-the-fly vendor changes and challenges during that event. Absolutely one of the best decisions we ever made was choosing them to be part of our wedding!
Let me tell you about the best expense I could have on my big day! If you are a professional who is getting married- You will be so thankful that you hired Laura at Bash Events! There is not a single thing that I had to think of leading up to or even on my big day. The peace of mind that I received has no monetary value. Never had or has the thought “is this done? or do I need to? or I wish I had done” cross my mind through the often stressful, and always time consuming wedding planning process.
I am a very hands on and detail oriented person- it was so nice to have someone who shared those same attributes. The time, attention and detail she placed in to me as a bride is unparalleled. I am so thankful I stumbled across her for my wedding and will truly have her on speed dial for any and all of my future special events!
I was completely lost planning this wedding. When I realized how many decisions I had to make and how many things needed to come together, I felt incredibly stressed. With my phenomenal wedding planners, Alicia and Laura, all of that evaporated. Anything I needed was taken care of with a simple text or phone call. They organized everything, created a budget (even saved us money!), came up with lists, ensured everything was in the right spot, they kept track of time, handled all communication with vendors, and smoothed every mishap with grace and flexibility. They had an incredible attention to detail and amazing suggestions from everything to colors of the wedding party to the flowers in my bouquet. It felt like there wasn’t a single ask I could make that they couldn’t arrange. We wouldn’t have been able to enjoy our special day as much as we did without their unfailing dedication to making our event a success.
Bash Events came with our venue (The Barn on Hubbard) and honestly I don't know what I would have done without them. They are truly the best event planning duo I have EVER worked with!
They never missed any of the details. Down to the straws at our wedding matched with our team. They were very organized and made it extremely efficient for us to go through the planning stages with us. For some context, we planned our entire event in about 3 months and Bash never made us feel rushed or unprepared. They walked us through every process with ease and comfort.
On the weekend of our event, they went above and beyond to make sure everything was exactly as I envisioned it and honestly, I couldn't have envisioned a better day if I tried. From the table scape, to the drinks setup, to the escort card display - everything was truly immaculate. If I ever work with an event planning company again, Bash is the standard I will be holding them to.
I truly can't imagine my day without Alicia and Laura and I suggest every bride & groom work with them because they will make your day magical for you!
Hiring Bash was one of the best decisions we made while planning our wedding. As someone who works in the industry, I understood from the get go that having wedding planners would be a great help to me but I had no idea how much I truly needed them to pull off our wedding. Throughout the planning process, Laura and Alicia were a calming presence who always had a creative solution for any problem that came up. Even when COVID hit and we had to postpone our wedding (twice), Laura and Alicia were level-headed and talked us through every option, during a time when we felt completely overwhelmed and hopeless. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, Laura and Alicia were both very responsive to my (late night) emails, provided us with a detailed run of show, and asked us thoughtful questions which ultimately led to an extremely smooth day of. On our wedding day, I felt completely comfortable handing over all responsibility to Laura and Alicia to see things through, which allowed me to relax, enjoy getting ready with my friends and family, and focus on the task at hand--marrying my best friend! Laura executed the day of plan with perfection, and gracefully handled my very last minute requests without hesitation, even picking up slack where other vendors fell short. Alicia served as my shadow throughout the day, providing me with any last minute touch ups or mints, and even helped me change for the after party. They both dealt with our complex family dynamic elegantly. If anything went wrong, I did not know about it or hear about it after the fact. I could not have imagined the day without them and my husband and I are truly indebted to them for everything they did to make our day so extremely special. After planning our wedding with them for over a year (thanks COVID), I was so grateful to have these two amazing women on my team--it felt like having two dedicated, energetic, and diligent friends helping me along the way. I cannot recommend BASH enough for their wedding planning services.
