Jessica L was our day-of Coordinator, but after all the help she did and how she went above and beyond for our wedding, I think the more appropriate title is Wedding Wizard. After our two sessions before the big day, Jess had everything planned and ready to go. The day of, she jumped right into gear and made sure everyone knew where and what to do, prepped tables and decorations, and truly lifted weight off my shoulders to help the day go smoothly.
My family is still in awe of all that she did and has been asking me repeatedly where I managed to find her. This was one of the BEST decisions I made in all my wedding planning. I encourage everyone to look into the options they have; the service is the very best.
Ashley Nelson exceeded all of our expectations! We were blown away by her care and attention to detail. From the first phone call we had with her, we felt cared for not just as clients, but as people. Our wedding had many moving parts and lots of last-minute changes, and Ashley handled it all exceptionally well! With Ashley by our side, our guests and we had nothing to worry about. After the wedding, one of the most common comments we received was how incredible our day-of coordinator was. We couldn’t have done it without her and would highly recommend her to anyone planning an event. 10 stars!
Monica was so warm, hard working, accepting, and flexible. I don't think she ever told us "no" and truly made our day beyond what we could have ever envisioned. My husband looked at me on wedding day and said, "Everyone should get married here!" Thank you, Monica, for making this the best day of our lives!
Any questions?
Hire Rebecca!!! She was everything we wanted in a coordinator and more! Not only is she the sweetest person you will ever meet in your life, but she is so detail oriented and there is not a single thing you will worry about day of. Highly recommend!!
Shauna was an amazing coordinator! I had a vision of the day and she made it even better! Her knowledge and design choices made the day flow so easy and the ceremony went perfect! Thank you so much! Highly recommend her services!
Our wedding planners and day-of coordinator all operated as a well-oiled machine. From the first day we met the team we immediately recognized their organization and professionalism. No other venue we spoke with or considered had anything close to Bellagala’s coordination. It was difficult to imagine that wedding planning could be ‘stress-free’, but they all made that possible. We didn’t left a single finger day of the wedding, and allowed us to fully appreciate the day.
Shauna was the best! She was so easy and fun! She made everything come together perfectly! Great job!
Monica S was a pleasure to work with. Very helpful and insightful.
Brianna Schwartz was our day of coordinator. We cannot say enough great things about her! We really needed someone there to help the day run smoothly and make sure everyone was where they needed to be, she managed all that and so much more! If something started happening off schedule or the way it wasnt supposed to she took care of it no questions asked. She made sure all the vendors were contacted beforehand and on the same page, we appreciate everything Bri did for us. If you are looking for someone to help keep things moving on your special day we recommend considering Bri, she is seriously awesome and we couldn't have done it without her!
Cyndi did a phenomenal job helping to ensure I (bride) did not have to worry about anything day of! We had our reception at a different location than our ceremony and we wanted to repurpose some decor items and she took care of it all. She even brought on an assistant to help with the heavy lifting when she got injured prior to our wedding day. Couldn’t have asked for better service!
We booked a day-of coordinator through Bellagala, and we were so, so lucky to be paired with Rebecca! She was INCREDIBLE!
We did most of the wedding planning ourselves, and we were definitely a bit overwhelmed with the logistics. A couple of months before our wedding day, Rebecca reached out and created a master timeline that made the entire day seamless. She was so organized, and as we got closer to the day, she took over all of our vendor communications, which was super helpful. She’s very professional, but also super kind and caring. She felt like a friend that just happened to be helping with our wedding. I had planned to do a lot on the day of the wedding, but Rebecca made it so I that didn’t have it lift a finger. The day wouldn’t have been possible without her, and we are so happy that we had the chance to work with her!
We can’t recommend Rebecca enough if you are looking for a wedding planner or coordinator!
Alexis was our day of coordinator. One thing we said as we planned our wedding was that we wanted the day to feel as relaxing as possible so that we could focus on each other and spending as much time together as we could. Alexis made that happen and then some. We have said “our day was perfect” 100x in the days following our wedding, & it could not have happened without Alexis. She got there before I did on my own wedding & she spent the day decorating, answering everyone’s questions and being the main point of contact for all vendors and guests/family. She brought as food & water after our ceremony as we had some time alone & she stayed until the last guest left. She even took drink orders and brought us drinks at dinner! And that’s just the day of. She got in contact with us immediately after we booked her and answered any questions we had & really began meeting regularly with us & coordinating with our vendors 30 days out from our wedding. Cannot say enough how much I will always recommend a day of coordinator from here on out! Thank you Alexis!!
We used this service to find our day-of coordinator, Lydia Foster. She truly did an amazing job going above and beyond what was expected of her. She did a great job at the venue of managing all of the people to ensure they were in the right places at the right time. All of this led us to having a truly special wedding day. We're extremely grateful for the work she put in and would 10/10 recommend Lydia.
We were matched with Ashley N. as our Day-of-Coordinator and could not have had a better experience! She was truly on top of everything and I genuinely believe she saved my sanity on wedding day haha! My parents and in-laws both came up to me expressing how happy and impressed they were with her. She took the bull by the horns when stuff popped up (we had a small mic issue right before dinner and speeches and she had it resolved in minutes!). I am so so happy that we had her for our big day. She was also just a lovely human being to work with and had such a lovely energy which was a big bonus!
We worked with Ashley N. for day-of coordinating and couldn’t ask for anyone better! She made our day so easy and always had a fun but calming presence. We’re so grateful to have had her on our team!
Robyn made our day run so smoothly and I never had to worry about anything! She also made sure I was drinking water throughout the day and brought me snacks toward the end of our reception. I don't know what I would have done without her! It honestly felt like there were five of her, because she seemed to be everywhere all at once making sure our day was the absolute best it could be! She also did an amazing job of creating all of our signage and place cards and getting everything printed for us. Huge shout out to Robyn!
We hired Ashley N through Bellagala as our day-of coordinator and WOW, she was amazing! Several touch points /meetings leading up to the day was so helpful for me to remain on track with to-do’s - but the day-of piece…. I couldn’t have imagined not having her there! She handled every single thing and only included me if it was necessary. Highly highly recommend!
Ashley N was a great day of coordinator for us! We were hesitant about hiring someone, but from the first moment I spoke with Ashley, she had me feeling at ease. I’m so glad we had her! She made the day easy and seamless for us.
We worked with Meredith Meyer from Bellagala and she was amazing to work with. Wedding planning is a complicated time for couples but she was with us and helped us answer alot of the questions that we didn't even think of. Meredith went above and beyond in helping us plan the perfect day and it actually did end up perfect. When we walked in, I almost cried because everything looked just as I imagined it. Meredith also helped a lot in keeping the day moving and keeping with the timelines while at the same time not rushing the bride and groom at all. Meredith also was very proactive with sending us to do lists that we had asked for and keeping the planning timeline as well and helping us keep on track with the planning. Highly recommended working with Meredith and Bellagala for their planning services. Shoutout to you Meredith, you're amazing!!
We loved working with Rebecca L! She truly cares about the couples she works with and flawlessly executed to make the day perfect. I appreciated her attention to detail, organized approach and execution of the wedding logistics. From the first planning meeting her energy was so positive and truly enjoyed working with her. Rebecca listened and aligned to the wedding vision and helped us get the final logistics and decisions ready. I appreciated all of her work to align all the vendors (photo, music, venue, guests) to the final timeline and expectations on set up and take down. She organized the set up schedule and take down plan at the end of the night which alleviated a lot of stress on the couple for the wedding day. She made our day amazing with her skills to set up the venue to make the space even more beautiful. We were so happy when we walked into the venue and saw our vision come to life by Rebecca’s execution. Your attention to the details was very helpful throughout planning and the day of. I appreciated this detailed approach. Thank you Rebecca, you were key to the success of our wedding weekend! We are so thrilled with how it all turned out! You were so kind, caring and supportive to work with!
We hired Brittany Halloran from Bellagala as our day of coordinator. She was very helpful in the lead up to the wedding and met up with us multiple times to ensure questions were answered. On the day of, her and her team made sure everything went smoothly and was stress-free so we could enjoy the day.
Lydia was amazing, she was so organized, had great communication, and overall made sure that everything went smoothly. I couldn’t be more happy with how my wedding day turned out. Thank you Lydia!
We had Shauna Ritter as our day-of-coordinator and she was absolutely fantastic! My wife and I felt totally taken care of and we were able fully enjoy our day thanks to Shauna!:) 100% recommend, we are so happy she was a part of our day!
Paid for vendors through them and then never heard back from them. They only reached out to me and refunded my money after I posted my experience with them on google:
“after I paid them a grand, I could no longer log into the account I created to buy the services. When I tried calling customer service, they never answered. I then called sales who told me I should hear from the coordinator and dj next week and they would have someone reach out to me about my account. It has now been a week and I never heard from them. Now I’m out a grand and can’t get in contact with anyone at the company. Super disappointed especially because they act like it is acceptable since “it is a high engagement time of year”. I understand it is, but no other vendor has treated me like this. If you see this please give me my money back.”
Not the type of company I try doing business with. Also look at their reviews on yelp rather than any of these wedding websites: https://m.yelp.com/biz/bellagala-philadelphia (includes Minnesota/twin city location views)
Renee Beaudrie was great to work with and very prompt with email responses. Other vendors also said that they liked her communication too which was something that she handled behind the scenes but resulted in a smooth-running-day.
Brittany Halloran at Bellagala was amazing!! She was our day of event coordinator. We had multiple phone calls and meetings leading up to the wedding. Brittany is professional, organized, and on-top of it. With Brittany’s guidance and wedding expertise, our wedding was perfect. She was able to bring our vision to life. After our wedding, we got so many compliments from family and friends about Brittany’s amazing work. I highly highly recommend booking Brittany! She’s spectacular.
We hired Renee as our day of coordinator and she was wonderful! We had our wedding at my husband parents and she came down a month before to view the “venue” and walk through setup for the day, expectations, timeline, etc. The day of she was so helpful with coordination of people, making sure we stayed on time and so much more! She helped with clean up before she left as well. Overall wonderful experience and would definitely recommend Renee for day of coordinator!
Our planner did a great job at making the day go smoothly, I did not even have to think about anything on the day of.
However, I was told that she somewhat refused to take down the floral piece from the arbor after our ceremony? My extended family took care of it but it seemed strange a wedding coordinator wouldn't jump in to handle it.
Response from the Vendor on 09/13/2023
Hi Emma, Thank you for your feedback on working with your Event Planner! We are sorry to hear there seemed to be some type of misunderstanding or confusion with your coordinator. We have shared this feedback internally.
We were initially hesitant about hiring a day-of wedding coordinator but in hindsight hiring Alexis to be our go-to person day of and making preparations in advance was the best money we spent for our wedding! She was easy to work with and gave many wise insights on how to improve the day from what we had already planned. She made the day seamless from start to finish and truly went above and beyond our expectations. This allowed us to enjoy our wedding day with our guests and for our guests to be guests. We highly recommend Alexis without any hesitations.
Brittany made my wedding day seamless! She took care of all of the details and my husband and I got to live in the moment. I would highly recommend her services.
Alexis was the best! I was originally a little nervous about spending the money for a day of coordinator, but I'm so glad I hired Alexis. She made everything the day of our wedding so easy and simple. We were able to relax the day of our wedding and enjoy. The morning of our wedding we handed Alexis boxes of décor and she set them up for us. She coordinated with the vendors throughout the day. At the end of the night shortly after the music ended Alexis had everything boxed up and ready to go into our vehicles. I didn't have to worry or think about anything that day. My mother didn't realize how awesome Alexis was going to be and originally thought that clean up at the end of the night was going to take an hour or more. Because of Alexis, all we had to do was load the cars with all our stuff and leave. Clean up and packing up took 20 minutes at most. My mom has mentioned how happy, easy, and enjoyable Alexis made our wedding day. As the bride, Alexis helped me plan the last minute details and contacted my vendors before the wedding to guarantee they were going to show up. This put me at ease knowing I didn't forget anything. I highly recommend Alexis Johnson.
Alexis Johnson was one of the best things to happen for our wedding! She went above and beyond our expectations. Not only did she take care of everything from setting up and teardown of our reception area but she problem solved perfectly that my husband and I didn't even notice when we ran into a hiccup. Our day would not have been as perfect without her help! I can't say thank you enough and recommend Alexis enough when it comes to hiring a day-of coordinator!
Response from the Vendor on 11/16/2022
Wow! Alexis will be so honored to hear such amazing feedback! Thank you so much for sharing, Taylor!
Brittany was amazing and responsive throughout the entire month leading up to our wedding, but especially shone on our big day. Everything we had planned ran so smoothly: set up, guest arrival, the ceremony, cocktail hour, trivia at the reception, etc. Brittany was on top of everything and we never had to worry. Our families were wowed by her and she made everyone feel confident and at ease.
I can't imagine how I would have coordinated all the vendor arrivals on our wedding day while simultaneously getting ready. It was invaluable to have Brittany there to meet everyone and direct them. Plus her attention to detail is incredible.
Do yourself a favor and hire a planner, at least for the last month. It really does make for a smooth and stress-free wedding day!
The Van Dusen Mansion is absolutely beautiful and the team is amazing! Super responsive, caring, compassionate, and accommodating!! Our wedding was perfect.
We went through Bellagala for our day of coordinator and I was less than impressed. She pulled through on a few things but honestly I could have done it myself or had a family member accomplish some of the things. Helpful for coordinating during the wedding ceremony but otherwise not too impressed for how much we paid.
I'm glad so many people seem to have had good experiences with Bellagala. Unfortunately we were really disappointed overall. It started with the poor performance of Brittany as our "Sanity Saver" coordinator ($4000!!!!); we actually fired her. We only had 6 months to plan an entire wedding and by week 3 after hiring her and Bellagala we had gotten 2-3 vague emails, we still hadn't met, she had only sent me a list of over 30 vendors which she picked at random that I was supposed to do all the research into (without any guidance), and there had literally been zero guidance/mention of how to even begin to tackle the rest of the vendor/wedding planning. Basically having Brittany as our "wedding planner" just added stress. The staff at Bellagala has a decent amount of turnover and we were shuffled in between different people throughout the wedding planning event. It never felt like there was any cohesiveness or ownership on their part. They only saving grace was Jamie, who did our flowers, was spectacular and got my vision and executed it perfectly. Save your money and find a different company.
Holy buckets! When we booked with Bellagala to have a day of coordinator/planner, little did we know they would introduce us to the world's best coordinator, Kelsey Becker! Kelsey was exceptional in being able to not only hear our vision but also help us proactively think of things that we had not of without her. She made the evening such a joyous event because she was the one behind the scenes handling every detail so I could focus on my daughter's wedding and guests. If you want the best, hire Bellagala and request Kesley! She is THAT good!
Bellagala worked with us for our videographer and photo booth! They were beyond helpful, and I could not speak higher of the quality of the work put into our day!
Amazing company. Our dj was absolutely amazing. Super affordable and good to deal with
Bellagala was great to work with, they made everything easy and stress free! We used the wedding planning service and had Nicole as our day of coordinator. I was pleased that it was much more than the day of. She was truly amazing to work with from the months leading up to the wedding and of course on the day of!
She made sure everything was perfect; the wedding would not have been the same without her!
Nicole was absolutely fabulous from start to finish! Her attention to detail and professionalism was amazing! She really cared about what we wanted for our special day. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a planner.
Nicole Lewis and Bellagala are truly the best! Nicole managed our day-of planning at ABULAE and made the day SO stress free and enjoyable. Prior to the wedding, she went above and beyond the call and was always available when I had a question or needed her advice.
Our big day was beautiful and we couldn't have asked for a better wedding planner. I would definitely recommend her to any engaged couple!
Nicole was our Day-of-Coordinator for our wedding and she did an amazing job!! She was so easy to work with and was super helpful with all the questions I had. I definitely was not stressed on my wedding day at all because I knew everything was in great hands. :) And everything turned out PERFECT!
Nicole Lewis was absolutely amazing throughout our entire wedding process. We hired Nicole to be our day of coordinator only, but she was more than willing to provide advice throughout the entire planning process. She made sure to check in with us when it got closer to our wedding date to ensure that we had everything prepared and that she was up to speed on the plans. Nicole ran out rehearsal the day before our wedding and took control right away to make sure everyone knew exactly what they were supposed to be doing. On the wedding day she arrived to our venue early and set up all our decorations along with organizing the wedding party flawlessly. We had zero hiccups the entire day and Nicole was a major part in that. We would highly recommend Nicole to anyone who wants a fantastic stress free wedding day!
It was a treat to get to work with Bellagala, and more specifically, Derek Curley! As a very anxious bride-to-be, it was unbelievably reassuring for my fiancé and I to run through everything with Derek, who is incredibly chill and laidback, meanwhile very responsive and detailed. He made us feel completely at ease about everything, and I felt 100% confident I could put the night in his hands and not have to worry. And that proved to be true. We sprang a few last-minute details on him, and he executed them quickly and flawlessly. We had a number of guests approach us with how awesome the music was and how much they liked Derek. And if anyone’s still not convinced, we had at minimum 40 people swaying to Piano Man when the night concluded at midnight!!! We could not have dreamed up a better reception. Thanks, Derek! Highly recommend him and Bellagala!!!
Nicole was a dream to work with! From our first meeting, to details meetings with vendors to our actual wedding day, Nicole made sure she captured exactly what we were envisioning and everything went off beautifully. We couldn't be more thankful for her guidance and detailed planning!
For our ceremony, we had Nicole as our day-of coordinator and let me tell you, she was amazing! For our venue, they required someone to do the job and so at first we weren't really that enthused about it but we did our due diligence and tried to pick someone that fit who we were as people. Looking back it though, picking a day-of coordinator is such a blessing. If you're on the fence about it, seriously do it! Yeah, it costs extra but it's a reasonable price for not having to worry about anything else except for your vows!
There were a lot of decisions that had to be made that day (vendor issues!) but I only had to deal with one major one; she just made all of those smaller decisions for us and for the bigger one that required my input, she presented us with all sorts of options for us to think over. When our decor vendor (UGGGGH!) failed to complete the draping we'd ordered, Nicole's quick thinking turned a horrible downer into a beautiful and elegant statement. She and her assistant Paula really kept the whole wedding party calm and assured that we didn't have to worry about a thing. She was well organized and planned for EVERYTHING. Seriously, ask her about her emergency kit!
Beyond her professionalism and quick-thinking responses to crises, she's also a very warm and thoughtful person who made us feel like we were one of her friends that she was doing this for. She has that way of connecting with people and taking the transaction feel of it out of it.
In general, we loved working with Bellagala! It made the planning details way easier for us since it was one-stop shopping. All of the professionals we've used with them were awesome and experienced at what they did.
Thank you so much, Bellagala! And thank you Nicole for being so amazing :)
As a professional event planner, I knew I wanted to turn over all the day-of coordination of my daughters wedding to someone who was competent, presentable and deeply caring. I found her at Bellagala.
Kelsey Becker exceeded my demanding expectations by overseeing elaborate plans with no hiccups. She was calm,effective and courteous with vendors and she made significant contributions prior to and throughout the weekend of events.
I recommend Kelsey with no reservations and hope to work with her again!
Nicole Lewis is as professional as they come. We had Nicole has our day of planner for our September 8 wedding at Bavaria Downs. After all the planning, I wanted to be able to enjoy the day and not have to worry about the details and that is exactly what Nicole provided with her services. She is organized and pleasant to work with and was able to think on her feet to solve any issues that may have come up last minute. If you are looking for a carefree day, we highly recommend Nicole Lewis.

Thank you so much for your kind review, Jillian! We love hearing this from our couples, and so happy Nicole helped your special day run smoothly! Thank you, and best wishes! – The Bellagala Team
We used Bellagala for their DJ services and loved the experience they provided! From communication and organizing beforehand to the actual wedding experience, we are extremely pleased with this company! Our DJ, Jonathon Shields, was fun, engaging, and accommodating! He frequently checked in with us, both before the wedding and during the reception to ensure everything was going as we hoped! He was also very flexible and wasn’t upset by us getting behind schedule. Very pleased with him and this company! Would recommend!
Response from the Vendor on 10/08/2018
We are so happy to hear this, Cassandra! Thank you for your kind review, isn't Jonathon the best?! Thank you for choosing Bellagala, and best wishes in your marriage! – The Bellagala Team
Bellagala was great to work with and very affordable. I enjoyed having them at our wedding and providing music for us. The DJ asked for our playlist, but a lot of the songs that were played that night were not on our playlist. We still enjoyed our night, but a little bummed certain songs did not play.
Response from the Vendor on 09/04/2018
Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear about your frustrations with your DJ not playing songs that were on your playlist. Thank you for your feedback, we are always looking for ways to improve. Best wishes in your marriage! - The Bella...

Bellagala provided impeccable service and attention to detail. Sam Johnson, our DJ, was amazing. His professionalism and organization helped make the event more than we could have hoped. Sarah Meyer, our photographer, orchestrated the photo session with great timing and attention. The photos she captured surpassed any of our expectations. The Bellagala staff on the day of the event were courteous, professional, and organized. The whole experience was unforgettable. Thank you all!
Response from the Vendor on 08/20/2018
Thank you so much for your review! We are so happy to hear about your Bellagala experience and we are honored to be part of your special day! Thank you for your kind words and for choosing Bellagala! Best wishes!

We had Derek C. as our DJ for our wedding from Bellagala. Derek was AMAZING. He knew how to read the crowd, and kept the dance floor moving and grooving even after our midnight curfew with our venue. He was flexible when it came to our schedule getting off track thanks to my dad going over his speech time :), and kept the music fun and upbeat all night long. I know everyone had a great time, and that's got a big part to do with the DJ, aka Derek, who kept the crowd entertained. I highly recommend Bellagala for your wedding DJ needs and I also would choose Derek again for any event we may need a DJ for if we ever needed one again. Again, that's Derek C. from Bellagala!
Response from the Vendor on 10/08/2018
We are so happy to hear this! Thank you, Chiyo! We are so pleased that you enjoyed Derek, and we hope your wedding day was everything you expected! Thank you for your generous review! Best wishes! – The Bellagala Team
I'm not even quite sure where to begin with our experience with Kalen... she went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect, and we couldn't imagine our wedding day without her help! We chose to have Kalen help us with the month leading up to the wedding. She helped us with making sure we were on track with all the small details, figuring out last minute purchases, finalizing timelines, and any other question in between. She coordinated all of our vendors the week before the wedding, so we didn't have to worry about checking in with anyone and could just enjoy our wedding week. She attended our rehearsal at the church and helped it run smoothly and met everyone, so on the day of the wedding she was able to handle any issues that came up. Then after the ceremony, Kalen set up all of our decorations at the reception venue including centerpieces, guest book, gift table, and escort cards. I just had an idea of what I wanted for the centerpieces, and Kalen set them up better than I could have imagined! During the reception, she helped make sure the wedding party was all in the right spot at the right time and told us what was happening next. She even got us (bride and groom) drinks during the reception so we didn't have to be away from our table. We weren't sure on spending the money on a wedding planner would be worth it, but it was HANDS DOWN one of the best decisions we made, and do not think it would have been as fun of a day as it was without Kalen's help.
Response from the Vendor on 08/20/2018
We love hearing this!! Thank you so much for your wonderful review, and we are so pleased you enjoyed Kalen! We hope she made your day easier and more fun, and we are honored you chose Bellagala for your wedding coordinator! Best wishes!

We hired Kalen Graf as our day of coordinator and I am SO HAPPY we did! Kalen was super helpful during the 6 months leading up to the wedding and invaluable on the big day. We weren't entirely sure we needed a DOC since our venue had an in-house coordinator, however it was reassuring to have someone on hand to look out for our own interests and to go above and beyond what the in-house DOC could do (including running to the nearest liquor store when we ran out of whiskey!). Overall our wedding day was perfect and that was largely thanks to Kalen!

We are so happy to hear this! Thank you for your review, we love knowing about your experience with Kalen!

Our Day-Of Coordinator, Kelsey, was such a dream to work with for our wedding day! She ensured that every moving part of our day went smoothly. We were planning our wedding from out-of-state, so that added a lot of stress to our planning. Kelsey was there to help navigate and communicate with vendors and answer any questions. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who needs help getting things together and ensuring the flow of your wedding day is exactly what you want. She was there for the rehearsal the night before, and came with an assistant the day of the wedding. She is so sweet, kind, organized, and very professional; she did an incredible job! Kelsey handled every small detail with grace and never seemed stressed, even though it was a really long and tiring day.
Response from the Vendor on 08/20/2018
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are so pleased that you enjoyed working with Kelsey! We are so happy you chose Bellagala, and we wish you all the best in your marriage!

In meeting with Bellagala and reading through planner profiles, I knew immediately that Tiffany Davis was going to be the planner for me! She was simply the BEST person for me to have by my side in what is a tedious, and stressful planning process. She went above and beyond in so many ways, even meeting with me months ahead of the wedding simply to talk vibe, vendors, plans, wishes, etc. She was so much more than day-of coordinator. I tried my best not to take advantage of how helpful and available she was, but I did reach out to her in a bit of (what I thought was) a crisis the night before. She assured me she already had what she needed from me to fix it (my error) and have it handled before anyone was the wiser the next day, and she DELIVERED! She and her assistant (who was also absolutely wonderful) checked in on me regularly on the big day, Tiffany understood my tendency to worry and reminded me to breathe, drink water, and was as supportive as any other woman in my family keeping me together that day. She handled every bit of the day, worked smoothly in conjunction with our Pastor, with the coordinators at the venue, with caterers, our DJ, EVERYTHING. We cannot sing her praises enough!!!
Our "Day of Coordinator", Brittany J. went ABOVE AND BEYOND to make sure our day went smoothly! I would definitely recommend her to anyone who needs help getting things together and ensuring the flow of your wedding day is exactly what you want. For a Day Of Coordinator, Brittany met with me several times before the event and it was so helpful to go over details with her, especially the week of the wedding. She was there for the rehearsal the night before, and came with an assistant the day of the wedding. She is sweet, organized, and very professional - she did an awesome job!
There was a long list of things for her to do on the day of and we thought that the venue was going to provide workers to care of a few things like clearing tables, cutting cake, etc... On that day, we found out that the workers the venue said they were providing were not what I had initially thought so Brittany's list of things to do grew by a lot! She handled it with grace and never seemed stressed, even though it was a long day and she was going non-stop.

We re so happy to hear this! Thank you for your kind words, Annie! We are so happy that Brittany could help the day run smoothly! Best wishes and congratulations! – The Bellagala Team
Our day of coordinator was Brittany J. She was incredibly helpful leading up to the wedding, checking in about 4 months before the wedding. We then met in person, and then met in person again to meet with the venue coordinator about a month before the wedding. Throughout all of these times Brittany always asked how I was doing and how I felt about everything. She was a great sounding board. She also was helpful in putting a day of schedule together. I believe she went above and beyond what is expected of a day of coordinator prior to our wedding day. When it came to the actual wedding day, Brittany and her assistant knocked it out of the park. My husband and I didn't worry about a thing the day of the wedding. Everything went seamlessly the day of the wedding and I believe credit should be given to Brittany and her assistant. I would highly recommend Brittany to anyone!

Bellagala was so easy to use. They directed me to numerous wedding planners where we got to review each person's bio, connect with them via email and even do a phone interview before choosing. We ended up having Nicole Lewis as our wedding planner and she was amazing. We hired her for the Day-Of package but felt like she helped us each step of the way. We planned our wedding from San Diego and Nicole made it feel like we were planning it right in town. She was organized, prompt, and really cared for the special details in our wedding. She went above and beyond, really helping us with our ceremony (we had my husband's brother as the officiant) and even our wedding rehearsal. HIGHLY recommend Nicole and Bellagala!
We started out with one wedding planner and two weeks prior to the wedding had to get another one. The initial planner Bellagala gave us ended up (through a long series of events) being a bad fit for us. When we expressed our concerns to the company they were quick to fix the problem and find us someone new. Tiffany came in 2 weeks before the wedding and immediately eased our anxiety. From that point on things were perfect. She jumped right in and took over and our wedding turned out beautifully. I would recommend her to anyone! After the wedding Bellagala's customer service department compensated us for the issues we had encountered in an extremely timely manner. I would recommend this company to anyone. I also used their photography services and will review those separately, but I would recommend that as well!

We are so happy to know you enjoyed working with Tiffany. We are sorry to hear about the last minute switch, but we are so pleased that Tiffany was able to meet your needs. We hope your day was everything you expected and more! Thank you!

Nicole (and her partner) were fantastic to work with from start to finish! Oh, my gosh, we would have never gotten through Samantha and Jon’s wedding day without Nicole's calm presence, absolute total control of every situation in a respectful, warm and loving manner and her VOICE! Since I had no voice (laryngitis) all day, Nicole saved the day for many, many, many, reasons. It was delightful working with Nicole and I know Samantha and Jon felt confident all would be well with Nicole nearby.

Nicole Lewis was great to work with ,very helpful, very responsive, understood what I was wanting. Everything went smoothly
Bellagala offered a great service of levels of event coordination and professionals with experience level. That made it very easy for us to pick a person and more importantly, it gave us more options without having to do a lot of research by ourselves. We picked Brittany Jaderston for the day of the even coordination and she worked out great for us. We did the schedule planning ourselves. She helped us plan the ceremony during rehearsal and on the day she helped us with decoration, coordinating with vendors, executing the schedule as planned (we had a 9 page schedule and she did a fantastic job keeping up with it) and helped us pack up the place on time. The service comes with an assistant also who would help her in moving/hauling things and generally assisting in executing the plan. Assistant wasn't that great (hence 4 stars, instead of 5). The assistant seemed a little uninterested in things and we didn't see her for the most part of the day/night. She even left before the agreed upon end time. But Brittany did everything by herself. She had sprained her ankle and even that didn't stop her. She improvised when things were not going as per the schedule (catering was not able to keep up that well). I liked her a lot and I recommend her to anyone!
Brittany is worth her weight in gold. Thanks to her abilities to organize, communicate with all the vendors, keep everyone on task, and maintain keep calm throughout the day, we were able to do just what we had hired to do - thoroughly enjoy our wedding. A wedding that went off without a hitch, due in no small part to Brittany's stellar service. Her experience, professionalism, and pleasant personality made her a delight to work with, and someone who we would recommend to any couple seeking a day-of coordinator.'Honestly, we couldn't be more pleased with how easy you were to work with, and how well you performed your job. Keep up the great work!

We would recommend Bella Gala 100%. We LOVED everything about our day and our vendors were incredible...especially our wedding planner, Audra. She is phenomenal and truly made everything perfect.
We can't thank you enough for not only helping to make our wedding as wonderful as it was, but for playing a major role as our wedding planner and making the whole planning process as seamless and as easy as we could hope for. It was rather daunting at first to think of planning this special weekend from afar, but you made it possible for us to do in one weekend!!
We hired Nicole Lewis for our day of coordinator, the only reason was because my Father-in-Law insisted. I am so happy he did. She became our friend and we cannot say enough kind things about her and her work! We were so fortunate to have her be a part of our day!
I consider myself to be a pretty organized person, but with Nicole’s help on top of that she elevated mine and my husbands dreams into a fairytale! We thought as a day of planner that we wouldn’t see her very much, like, day of and solely behind the scenes, but we met with Nicole early on and she exceeded our expectations ten fold! She has extremely helpful advice and organizational materials that show this isn’t her first rodeo, but makes sure your experience is unique and like no other!
Nicole was not only a wedding planner to us, Nicole became our friend. The day of the wedding came and I was as happy to see her as I was to see my friends and family for the wedding. We met with her multiple times and she was available consistently through email, phone and text, whenever we needed assistance or advice. Even better Nicole was very self motivated and stayed on top of all the next steps in our wedding planning process. She is very personable, kind and FUN (Really she is hard not to like and I can’t say enough kind things about her)! We would highly recommend Nicole to help plan your wedding!!

Nicole and her assistant were amazing! I needed the reassurance that someone was going to be there for me to help take control of those situations that I did not want to take care of on my wedding day and they did just that. I felt so comfortable with Nicole when I met her that I couldn't resist hiring her. I was so happy that I did! When my husband and I met with her to talk about her services, I knew this was going to go just as I wanted it to. She assured me that she would help me along the way to ensure things go smoothly. I invited her to stay for dinner and return to the hotel with us after as I wanted her to be every part of my wedding...that is how much I loved her! She checked in on my MANY times during the rehearsal and the day of. She was someone I was happy to see around my wedding. She set up the wedding perfectly...she helped with decorations and I could tell she was not afraid to ask and take lead of where things needed to go in case I forgot to write a note. I trusted my whole wedding with her and I am forever grateful for her amazing talents that shined through in my wedding. My entire family was pleased with how well she did and my mother was most pleased as she too needed to know that I had someone to take care of things. My cousins wished she could've been part of our family and I too felt like she was part of the family that night! I highly recommend Nicole as a wedding planner and you will be totally happy that you chose her. She is personable, kind, caring, takes control when she needs to, steps back if others are in control, and just knows what to do. I love her! :)
I had Audra M. as my Day of Coordinator for our wedding. What I liked about Audra the most, was her love of organization and her eye for details. Audra made herself available for questions and concerns leading up to our big day, and this was a huge help as we dealt with difficult vendors. I greatly appreciated her advice and input as we got down to the final details. I strongly recommend Audra for any of your wedding planning needs. It was a huge help for my husband and I to have someone be the point person on our big day! We are so grateful for everything that Audra accomplished for us.
I cannot say enough good things about Nicole L. We were initially not going to book a day-of wedding coordinator as we have family who was more than willing to help out but I am so thankful we did. It was the one of the best decisions we made. Nicole is so organized and thinks of all of the small details that I would never have thought of. She set up the most beautiful candy bar and dessert bar for my husband and I. All I did was provide her with an inspirational photo and she made it look so beautiful. My mom was so impressed by Nicole's ability to keep everyone on time and I know this allowed her to enjoy the day, which means so much to me. Not to mention she made cleanup a breeze at the end of the night so my family could get home at the end of a long day.
"By being yourself, you put something wonderful in the world that was not there before." - Edwin Elliot
This quote simply describes Nicole Lewis and the wonderful way she makes a bride feel leading up to and the day of their wedding. Every question I had for her she greeted with the warmest helping direction. She made many things quite simple leading up to the wedding day; I cannot describe each incident in enough detail to boast the positiveness she will bring to your wedding planning experience.
Then there's the big day! I was so relaxed knowing Nicole was leading the way. I knew everything was in the best of hands and I could enjoy the morning with my closest friends and family. The original venue coordinator I had partnered with leading up to the event was not onsite and we were not notified of that until the evening before. Their stand in did fine but any challenges that arose were taken on by Nicole and quickly corrected.
I heard many compliments from guests at our wedding; the meals, the weather, the venue, the decorations (which all had input from Nicole). Most importantly I heard from every one in my party that they wish they could've had Nicole for their day or want her for their day in the future. She truly brings something wonderful into the world that was not there before - and even better it is surrounding one of the most important days of your life.
Nicole Lewis was amazing!!! She went above and beyond to make my wedding special and memorable. I highly would recommend her to anyone who is getting married!!! She is the best!!!
I walked into Bellagala with the intention of booking 1-2 services. I walked out having booked practically my entire wedding. While all of the services were great and I have zero complaints- one vendor really outdid herself. Audra M was our wedding planner and I could not have had a more positive experience - SHE IS INCREDIBLE!!!! Audra went above and beyond to make the month before the wedding absolutely seamless. Audra really was a dream come true and the wedding would not have been so successful without her. I sent her countless emails and had her help on countless decisions. She is extremely well connected and well known in the industry and her knowledge made wedding planning so much easier. She was well worth every penny - we would have paid double after it was all said and done.
We feel so lucky to have had Marissa Partridge from Bellagala as our wedding planner- she was an absolute pleasure to work with! From start to finish, Marissa was organized, professional, and positive. Marissa took the time to really get to know us as a couple and understand what was important to us on our big day. Her attention to detail is incredible, especially knowing that she has other clients with just as many details! Whenever we had planning meetings with Marissa, she came very prepared with all of our specific wedding information and timelines. Additionally, Marissa is well networked in the wedding industry, and brought forward great ideas and strong wedding expertise. We knew right from the get-go that we were in good hands as we planned our wedding!
The day of our wedding was everything we hoped it would be… and more! Our guests raved about our wedding and how everything came together so perfectly. The vision we shared and created with Marissa really came to life and we could not have asked for anything more! Marissa and her assistant took care of everything- set up of our venue, managing the vendors, running the timeline, and being ready to handle any issues. Everything from our perspective was seamless! We were like guests at our own wedding, and able to enjoy every minute of it.
We would highly recommend Marissa to anyone who is planning a wedding and looking for a strong wedding planner. They will not be disappointed in the work Marissa does- she is truly best in class!

Our wedding could not have gone smoother, thanks to Jenna. She was there every step of the way and always knew what to say. The service we received was so much better than we ever could have imagined. Every single detail was planned for and thought of before it even happened. We are so impressed with the professionalism and thoughtfulness. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a planner!
The planners made sure we thought of everything, and then made sure everything happened exactly right. We had several hundred people in attendance but they didn't miss a beat. The switchover from ceremony to reception and dinner venue was just as they said it would be. The planners listened to what we wanted, made suggestions, and adapted to our changing requests without blinking. These people are very, very good. I recommend them without hesitation.
Wedding was in Minneapolis, bride and parents living in two other cities. Couldn't have pulled this off without our planner, Jenna Ferguson. She was absolutely a delight to work with, full of great ideas, enthusiasm, and very knowledgeable about local vendors and facilities. Her professionalism and patience were outstanding and her help on the day of the ceremony was crucial. Many of our guests said this was the best wedding they had attended. Cannot say enough good things about Jenna. She was with us from engagement to ceremony and her services were invaluable.

We're so happy that Jenna could help make the day go as flawless as possible! Thank you for sharing your review! All the best from the entire Bellagala Team!
The first time I called Bellagala looking to hire a wedding planner I spoke with Jenna, and she explained the services that Bellagala did. When speaking with Jenna over the phone she seemed very personable and friendly, and she explained what kind of packages they had to help with planning a wedding. I stated to her that I would like to hire a wedding planner and that I was interested in having someone help me from start to finish, and to my surprise when I got a phone call back from her stating that she is going to be my wedding planner and I couldn’t have been more happier!
There is not enough words for me to describe on how much I am so thankful and grateful too that Jenna came into my life and picture and made my wedding so fabulous! Jenna was absolutely amazing, she was so awesome to work with and she went above and beyond expectations, and she was very involved from the minute I and (fiancé) now my husband met with her. Jenna and I kept in touch through email or phone calls during the whole planning stages and all the way up to the day of the wedding as well. She was very good about returning my emails or phone calls, and if she was in a meeting or something came up she would let me know. She also would give suggestions on certain vendors to use or if I had any questions she was always there with answers.
Having Jenna there to oversee everything and make sure that all the elements and personal touches were in place and all the vendors were on point made our day so relaxing. My wedding planner created a detailed timeline from the very beginning leading up to the day of the wedding and was the key person to implement it which allowed me and my husband stress free and really enjoying our special day. In the end, we felt like guests at our own wedding; knowing that Jenna was taking care of everything allowed not only me and my husband, but our entire bridal party and our family and friends to have an amazing special day. I would highly recommend hiring Jenna as your wedding planner to facilitate the whole thing, if not at least the day of the wedding, or the month leading up to it. It was one of the best decisions I ever made! I am so thrilled and very happy that I had Jenna as my wedding planner!
