Leah Stewart from Black Dog Affairs is an absolute gem! Hiring her was the best decision we made when beginning our wedding planning process back in July 2019. Within the first minutes we met her, she shared with us that she wants to build a sanctuary of love for her clients. We knew at that moment that Leah was the perfect wedding planner for us! We had the intention of getting married in July 2020, but the pandemic changed our plans. Leah helped us transition everything seamlessly to July 2021, and our wedding was an absolute dream. Leah is very easy to talk to and is amazing at communicating with the couples she is working with. She has so many connections to vendors in Vermont and helped set us up with the ones that would help carry out our dream wedding. She did an amazing job at reaching out to our vendors and coordinated what needs to happen for the big day. She took a lot off our plate and allowed us to enjoy the joys of being engaged. On the day of our wedding, Leah made sure everything was in place and all we needed to do was show up and enjoy our special day. Most importantly, Leah is a friendly, patient, and kind person. Anyone who has Leah with them on their wedding day will be in amazing hands!

Leah and Jackie were nothing short of outstanding throughout the entire wedding planning and event process. We love them. They are knowledgeable, attentive, helpful, supportive, and are just absolutely wonderful people that genuinely wanted to give us the perfect wedding that they possibly could. And they certainly succeeded. Their design for our venues for the rehearsal dinner and reception were absolutely stunning (and to be honest, this is not something I particularly cared much about but was supremely impressed and grateful once I saw it). We truly feel that we had the perfect wedding and we attribute nearly all of this to them. They also clearly had a great rapport with all of our many vendors, which also helped to make the experience and day of completely stress free and way more fun. Could not recommend them more. Simply the best. And, as a groom who wasn't as involved, I think that's saying something.

We hired Black Dog Affairs and worked with Leah for our day of coordinator. We had a lot of crazy logistics with our wedding have so many components of different locations, etc and Leah was on top of everything and made it al happen! We were so thrilled with how the entire day unfolded and we really could not have done it without her help.

Jackie and Leah are amazing, what a power duo! Thanks to these two ladies I had the wedding of my dreams last October! I was no cookie cutter bride.. I had them finding me ferris wheels, elvis impersonators and fire breathers (just to name a few) and they did that and so so much more. On the day of our wedding they were absolutely indispensable - everything flowed so nicely even though there were so many moving parts. We couldn't have done it without you guys, thanks again for a dream day. XOXO

Jackie and Leah at Black Dog Affairs are simply phenomenal. They were incredibly helpful by breaking down wedding planning into a manageable to-do list (far exceeding any list I could find on the internet), suggesting beautiful venues (and supporting us with great questions on site visits!), and helping us find vendors within our budget. Jackie and Leah reminded us and took care of items we never would have remembered until it was too late. Their day of support and attention to detail went above and beyond. They truly ensured our wedding day was everything we wanted and more. Enormous amounts of gratitude to both Leah and Jackie.

Leah and Jackie were my A-team! I had just moved from my home in Vermont to NYC and that took up so much energy that by the time I got around to wedding planning I only had 4 months left (with 200+ guests invited)! They were super friendly, fun, and understanding when I was overwhelmed with emotion and stress. They also knew how to get down to business without being overbearing or controlling. Jackie & Leah were well connected locally and were able to pull some vendors in at the last minute. During the wedding they were on point and in charge at the same time as blending right in. Our parents and guests loved them too. Once it was all over I was sad to say goodbye to our regular chats and planning sessions! I encourage you to work with Black Dog Affairs and to hire them right from the start like I wish I had!

What absolute life savers Jackie and Leah are! If you're looking for friendly, flexible, professional and fun wedding coordinators to help with your wedding day seriously look no further. They went above and beyond to help us flesh out our vision and make the day come to life! We found ourselves needing something between day of planning and full wedding planning assistance. They were great about providing just the services we needed and not roping us into a "coordination package" that would be expensive and beyond what we needed. Not to mention the fact that they seemed to always be one step ahead of us as far as thinking of things we may need or anticipating a hang up. With a backyard wedding there was a lot to think about and many details to iron out that hadn't even occurred to us. Such peace of mind knowing they were behind the scenes during our wedding and took the pressure off family so they could enjoy the day. Definitely recommend these wonderful ladies to anyone looking for help with their big day!
