Bellagala Wedding Planners

g was perfect. Our friends and family keep saying so many positive things with no complaints at all. If I could give a 6 out of 5 I would. 

eographer and she was great the day of as well!

e day. Her attention to detail is top notch, can't recommend her enough.

to ease our mind about all of the details leading up to the big day. On our wedding day, she was a superstar! It felt like there were 10 of her in attendance, as any setting up, preparation, and communication that needed to happen was completed by her in a timely manner. Everything was done quickly, and it felt like I didn't have to worry about anything at all. She was always there when I needed her, but was also able to "hide in the shadows" and take care of things that came up as the day went on. If you want someone that is an expert at making your day perfect, Rebecca is the planner for you!

way up to the big day, she made sure we felt comfortable and had everything we needed! She was able to navigate our unique wedding that was in two different locations which can be difficult to do but she made sure it worked and made sure everything ran smoothly! We were completely stress free the entire day!

or paying in full which is nice. I can’t say enough about how great Lydia was. She went above and beyond to make our day as stress free as possible! She was truly amazing and we are so grateful to her.

wedding. She was friendly, easy to work with, and helped make sure the day ran smoothly and was stress-free for us. She helped make the day the best day of our lives and I couldn't appreciate her more!

our wedding day. 

reat hands. She met with us several times before the big day and brought up so many important details we hadn’t even thought about. Her advice helped us personalize every moment and made the entire experience feel so special and meaningful. Throughout the planning process — and especially on the wedding day — she put our minds completely at ease. She took on so much behind the scenes so we didn’t have to worry about a thing. She handled the setup beautifully, bringing our vision to life with so much care and attention to detail. Everything looked exactly how we imagined it. She was calm, composed, and incredibly professional the entire time. Our families loved working with her and kept commenting on how organized and on top of everything she was. She made sure the day flowed smoothly and stayed on schedule, which allowed us to just be present and enjoy it all. We truly could not have done it without her. We’re so grateful for everything she did and recommend her to absolutely everyone planning a wedding. She’s a total pro and such a joy to work with!

rk with, and even when the weather threw us a curveball with some rain, Lauryn handled it effortlessly and kept everything running smoothly. If you’re looking for a coordinator who will keep you stress-free and make sure your day is everything you dreamed of, Lauryn is the girl to go with!

that helped guide our planning in the right direction. She even shared incredibly helpful templates for timelines, ceremony details, and décor, which gave us clarity and structure throughout the process. Beyond logistics, Kassidi offered her expertise in how to bring our ideas to life, helping us refine our vision in practical and beautiful ways. On the wedding day, she struck the perfect balance of staying behind the scenes to manage everything seamlessly, while also swooping in at exactly the right moments to solve problems before they could even reach us. Her positive attitude and calm, collected demeanor gave us so much confidence that she could handle anything that came her way. Kassidi’s presence allowed us to truly enjoy our day without stress, knowing she had everything under control. I cannot recommend Kassidi highly enough, she is an absolute gem and made our wedding everything we dreamed it would be.

t future brides can make informed decisions and hopefully avoid unnecessary stress on their wedding day. We hired Dana for her attention to detail, her experience in the industry, and her ability to ask the right planning questions—many of which couples might not think of on their own. To her credit, she is detail-oriented and does ask important questions during the planning process. However, the way those questions were often posed came across as condescending rather than supportive, especially when we didn’t have immediate answers or lacked knowledge on certain niche aspects of planning. Instead of feeling guided, I often left our meetings feeling more anxious and unprepared—despite having spent over a year organizing every detail. After our first planning meeting, I had strong reservations about continuing to work with her, but felt unsure of how to proceed or request a change. Dana also made unnecessary and somewhat dismissive remarks about my cousin and brother contributing their professional services to our wedding—both of whom are experienced and respected in the wedding industry. On the wedding day, we received multiple complaints from guests and wedding party members about rude or condescending comments made by Dana. While her primary responsibility was to manage setup at our two venues, the majority of coordination was handled by our photographer and DJ, who stepped in when Dana did not take initiative. A particularly disappointing moment was when we noticed a missing photo from our remembrance table. This was incredibly emotional for me, as we had recently lost that family member. While our photographer suggested printing a copy onsite and asked Dana to check with the venue, her immediate response was, “I’m sure they don’t have a printer.” I had to press for her to simply ask—and it turned out the venue did have a printer, allowing us to honor our loved one properly. That lack of effort in a sensitive moment was disheartening. At the end of the night, despite having help from our parents during cleanup, Dana loudly instructed guests to carry boxes to the shuttle. Asking for help is one thing—but directing guests in that tone, especially when she already had support, felt unprofessional and unnecessary. To be clear, I don’t believe Dana is a bad person. She has strengths, particularly in her detail-oriented approach and logistical questions. But unfortunately, our experience with her was not a positive one. Her tone and attitude added stress rather than alleviated it. For the amount we invested, we expected a coordinator who would go above and beyond to make our day easier—not someone who did only the bare minimum with the help of our family. I hope this feedback helps other couples choose the right support for their big day. A coordinator should bring calm, encouragement, and solutions—not additional stress.

positive energy to every meeting and especially the big day. I didn’t see her every minute of the day, but her presence was so felt. She kept vendors organized and made it so I got to be fully present on my wedding day. I could not recommend her more!!!! If you’re thinking you need a planner - you do, and you need Kassidi.

ressed about wedding planning got told that I hardly had to lift a finger. Any question I had would be responded to by staff very quickly and always so kindly. I never felt too stressed or scared about the day. We showed up on wedding day and everything was taken care of that needed to be, and every request I had was followed through on - from making payments, to easy-going zoom meetings to go over details, down to having a staff member follow me and fluff my dress and veil before walking down the aisle. They are all so amazing, I recommend to anyone who doesn't want the stresses and hassles of coordinating their wedding day!! Thank you all so much.

s heading into our day. On the day, she checked in on us throughout the day, reminding us to take care of ourselves and intervening to help keep us on time. She coordinated with our photographer, DJ, and vendors to keep things moving, and we felt like we didn't have to worry about a thing :) At the end of the night, she organized packing out to help us get out quickly. Thanks for everything, Shauna!

and kept up with us weekly providing updates and asked tons of questions regarding our day. On the day of the wedding, we knew we were in good hands with how smoothly everything went and the little amount of questions I answered that day too. Everything went as well as we expected it to and we could not be happier with her services!

istant allowed us to enjoy the wedding day and put us at ease.

the ceremony and reception — and even made a few last-minute changes without updating the original document I’d sent her. Somehow, it was like she read my mind because everything turned out exactly how I envisioned it. Several people involved in the wedding commented on her professionalism, saying she was the best coordinator they’ve ever worked with. Erin was calm, organized, and completely on top of everything. Highly recommend her for your wedding or any event — she’s truly exceptional!

re 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!

re 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!

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.

her! She made the day easy and seamless for us.

he 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!!

d 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)

d the scenes but resulted in a smooth-running-day.

er accomplish some of the things. Helpful for coordinating during the wedding ceremony but otherwise not too impressed for how much we paid.

r "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.

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.

n'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!

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!!!

nd 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.

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!

ence, 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. Janice F. Mother- of - the Bride and Mother - in - Law of the Groom:)

ave 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!

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!!

hings 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!!

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! :)

uestions 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.

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.
