ed, and executed the wedding day without a hitch. We were able to feel completely at ease the whole day and focus and enjoying it because we had complete trust in BLB, and particularly Gillian, who was our specific point of contact and the lead on the day. She was there every step of the way, from adjusting my veil so that it was perfect in every photo, to making sure the vendors executed our vision to a tee, to making sure we got to eat our food and always had a drink in our hand. She and the whole BLB team were an indispensable part of our day and I would recommend them to ANY bride/groom. You will not regret putting your trust in this incredible team. If I could give them one hundred stars, I would. Thank you, BLB!
Brittney and team were absolutely a dream to work with for our May wedding!! From answering every question during planning to nailing every detail day-of, Brittney is the perfect b...
alance of calm and relaxed while still completely on top of everything. Her planning tools were super helpful and she kept me on track in the months leading up to our wedding. The execution of the big day was perfect and we didn't have to worry about a thing. Highly recommend working with BLB - you'll be thrilled you did!
We had a BEYOND amazing experience working with Brittney and Mattie at BLB. We hired BLB for their full planning service and they fully planned our Friday night rehearsal dinner, S...
aturday night wedding, and Sunday afternoon brunch. They worked with us seamlessly to recommend and collaborate on our behalf with a fantastic list of preferred vendors that helped make our wedding magical. From managing our budget to answering every question we had to coordinating with all of our stakeholders, Brittney and Mattie were there for us and we always felt supported by them. They kept us on track from the early stages of planning to the day of. Professionalism, trustworthiness, and dependability all exemplify BLB's work.
On the days leading up to the wedding and on the day of, Brittney and Mattie were there for whatever we need whenever we needed it. They made us feel comfortable and allowed us to be genuinely present and enjoy our special weekend without worrying about the details. We're truly so lucky to have been able to work with BLB and would strongly recommend them to anyone looking to work with two incredible people!
We loved working with BLB events for our August 2023 wedding! We hired them for Consulting and Execution and worked with Brittney and Mattie. From our first meeting to the day of t...
he wedding, we felt totally supported and taken care of. They provided us a with a comprehensive package of materials to keep us organized, and we had almost monthly check-ins on top of their being super responsive to our may emails. Brittney and Mattie also have a really good sense for design, helping us achieve our vision within our budget. They're also so knowledgable about the industry, recommending the best vendors and helping us figure out contracts.
On the day-of, BLB were absolute pros! They handled everything and went above and beyond to keep us relaxed and focused on each other without all of the stress that comes with a 170-person wedding. We can't recommend them enough!
We feel so, so lucky to have worked with Brittney and Mattie at BLB Events for our wedding! They are absolute pros and made our wedding planning process a complete breeze from star...
t to finish! We really appreciated their willingness to work within our budget, and that they had a recommended list of vendors to work with that they trusted (at various price points!). On the day of the wedding, they did an amazing job putting us at ease (despite tropical storm conditions) and in orchestrating a completely seamless day. I can't recommend them enough! Best wedding planning team in NYC!
Brittney and Mattie were excellent! We worked with them for several months before the wedding, and they were on site on our wedding day and took care of everything so we wouldn't h...
ave to! We felt like we were in good hands, allowing us to enjoy the day without having to think about any logistics.
BLB was very organized, on top of reaching out to vendors, and incredibly helpful when deciding who we should work with. They were an invaluable source of knowledge and comfort in our wedding planning process.
Brittney and Mattie were a fantastic help when planning and executing our recent wedding. Brittney was a wonderful balance of encouraging but also realistic in helping us figure ou...
t what we wanted for a wedding and how to put it together, and she connected us with several vendors we were thrilled with. For a small-ish/simple wedding, the consulting package was perfect, and they provided helpful resources for us to work on our own between sessions. Ultimately, everything came together in ways I had trouble envisioning during planning but Brittney deftly steered us through. It was also a huge relief to hand things over to her on the day of, and she did a great job of helping keep everything on track while not feeling too intrusive or overly rigid, leaving us free to (try to) relax and focus on friends and family. Thank you so much, Brittney and Mattie!
If you're considering booking BLB for your wedding, this is your sign to DO IT! We interviewed a handful of planners to ensure we found the right fit, and no one held a candle to B...
rittney and her team. Hiring them was the first decision we made when it came to planning our big day, and it was also the best one. From the jump, Brittney put us at ease, really listening to what we wanted and then turning it into reality. She and Mattie kept everything organized and on track without it ever feeling stressful, sharing helpful tips and advice along the way, and somehow even managed to make the planning process feel FUN. On our wedding day, Brittney and Mattie both exuded calm and confidence, ensuring everything went off without a hitch. When I walked into the venue and saw how perfectly everything came together I cried—Brittney and Mattie NAILED the set up and it was even more beautiful than I could have imagined. Throughout the evening they kept everything running smoothly which meant my husband and I got to focus on being present—we didn’t have to worry about when to cut the cake or cue people for toasts or when food was being served because we knew they were on top of it, and they absolutely were. We got to focus on our celebration and our friends and family which was the biggest gift of all. If we could give six stars we would but seriously: these guys are the best!
We would give six stars if possible. Brittney is incredible. She is super helpful from the beginning with a load of helpful tools (e.g., a 250 item "checklist" and vendor guides)...
that took a lot of the uncertainty and stress out of the planning process. Brittney is very attuned to whatever approach you want to take; she had great recommendations but never pushed us to do anything or spend more than we wanted.
We did the consultant hours and day of coordination package, which was perfect for us. Brittney and her team are super communicative, professional, and were on top of all the elements of the wedding, including all the vendors we had engaged separately. And most importantly, the day of went completely smoothly.
We cannot recommend Brittney highly enough (and already have to several of our friends!).
Do yourself a favor and hire BLB Events for your wedding! Brittney, Mattie, and the whole team will make you feel very comfortable and secure that the day will go off without a hit...
ch. I used their month-of coordination package, and added on a few hours of consulting. Their expertise with my venue and all the wedding vendors in the NY area was so invaluable. We were able to talk through venue logistics and decor possibilities starting 6 months out, and starting 2 months out they took over the coordination of all my vendors. It was such a relief to know that I could trust BLB Events through the planning process and on the big day. My new husband and I were able to relax and enjoy our wedding day to the fullest!
I don't know what we possibly would have done without Brittney and the BLB team. From our first call, Brittney brought calming vibes and a wealth of experience and knowledge to our...
planning process. She empowered us to be decision makers, and took all the hard parts off our hands - she took lots of time in the months leading up to the wedding to hear our anxieties and always made things feel easy! Our stress and jitters just dissipated every time we got on the phone with them. They helped us stay organized and on track, guided us towards vendors perfectly tailored to our taste and budgets. It was such a pleasure getting working with them throughout the planning process.
Then come day of... they made it the best day ever, even in the craziest circumstances, because they were so buttoned up and had such a great handle on the vendors and the venue. We had weather against us - rain rain and more rain - and they seamlessly put our rain plan into action. None of the guests ever noticed any change in plans because it was so well executed. And in fact, it turned out to be an incredibly memorable experience for everyone.
We can't recommend BLB enough. Wish we could do it all over again!
Brittney and her team were incredible! They are calm, efficient, and professional while also maintaining a sense of warmth.

avigate contracts and arrange a schedule. Having attended two weddings since our own I further appreciate Britney and Mattie’s organization. Our wedding ran on time! I highly recommend BLB.
There truly aren’t enough words to describe how incredible Brittney and her team are. I initially hired a different NYC wedding planner who ended up being incredibly difficult to w...
ork with, and when it got down to ~3 months before my wedding day and I was so disappointed / overwhelmed, I fired the original wedding planner and started working with Brittney - it was absolute night and day. Your wedding planner is literally the most important vendor on your wedding day, and you can’t do better than Brittney and her team.
Brittney not only thinks of absolutely everything - how every detail of your day will go, how to make it better, how to keep things true to your vision using the expertise from her many years of experience - she’s also such a bright and calm presence in the room. I had zero worries leading up to my wedding day and it was all because of Brittney and her team (Mattie and Esther were fabulous!). If you want a wedding planner who approaches every problem with calm and expertise, leaves no detail un-thought of, takes all of your stress off and lets you enjoy every second of your wedding day while being so fun and wonderful, you really can’t do better than Brittney. My husband and I still sing her praises constantly and I’d recommend her and Mattie to anyone.
I have never had a specific dream or vision for a wedding. We found the perfect venue and booked a date 5 months away. From there I needed major help so I saw the rave reviews and ...
quickly booked Brittney as my full-service wedding planner. This was one of the best decisions I ever made! I went into this process not really knowing what I wanted, and Brittney was so smart, knowledgeable, organized, experienced, creative, and insightful. She showed me the way through everything, taught me what I needed to know and addressed all questions and concerns without judgment, and in the end we were thrilled with our wedding!
As stated, all we had was a venue and a date. I was unsure about planning an entire wedding weekend. I told Brittney my concerns but she talked me through it and got me really excited to host multiple events. I am SO glad we did this as our friends and family loved the full wedding weekend experience and thanks to Brittney and Mattie's expertise and impressive sense for style and design, the events were beautiful. Brittney helped us find the best venues for a welcome party and day-after brunch, and she sourced so many wonderful vendors to choose from. With the options Brittney provided, we were able to create a magical weekend that fit our personalities and style.
In addition to the advanced planning and selections we made together with Brittney, she was excellent at planning out all of the logistics and details of the events themselves, making sure my husband and I did not have to worry about a thing and we could just enjoy ourselves. Sometimes it is hard for me to trust or delegate, but not with Brittney! I could tell how professional and on point she is and that she would take care of it all. She was also very patient and helpful to us on the day of when our wedding was rained out! She had taken care of a back-up plan and it was still gorgeous and a dream. Mattie was also abundantly pleasant and helpful to us with day-of details, little things that were forgotten, etc. Their commitment to producing successful events is so clear, many of our guests even commented on how well-planned everything was and how they loved all the thought and intention that went into details.
On top of everything else, Brittney is just such a fun and likeable person, meetings with her feels like you are catching up with an old friend. The planning process is all the more enjoyable because you have her by your side! She is so sincere, honest, empathic and understanding, and also keenly aware of how cultural factors and family relationship dynamics come into play and need to be managed to have a smooth event.
I feel like I could go on and on. The bottom line is, you should hire this team! You will not regret it!! I am forever grateful to them for one of the best weekends of my life, and my husband and our families were also super impressed. Thank you Brittney and Mattie, you are truly the best!!
Brittney and the BLB team were an enormous help to making our wedding weekend an unforgettable experience for everyone. In the weeks leading up our wedding, Brittney and her team w...
ere extremely organized, communicative and efficient in helping orchestrate all of the big and small details that go into planning a wedding. We could not have had such a smooth, easy experience over our weekend without their help. Brittney and her team's familiarity with the wedding planning process shines through in their abilities to think through every detail, offer helpful suggestions in the event of speed bumps, and know ALL of the small details that need to be covered.
Come wedding day, the BLB team was a calm, relaxing presence that knew exactly what we wanted, when to involve us, and when to allow us to enjoy our day with friends and family. They were behind the scenes making sure everything ran smoothly and helping make sure all of the logistical details were handled without any issues at all. We could not have had such an amazing wedding weekend without all of the help from the BLB team and highly recommend them as a great option for any couple in the process of planning their wedding. Out of all of the time and money spent on a wedding, these are some of the best dollars you can spend. Thank you BLB!
Brittney and Mattie were phenomenal wedding planners! We had the reception and ceremony at two different locations and they made each transition seamless. They were extremely organ...
ized and made our wedding day effortless and magical. All of our special moments were captured and they orchestrated the day with ease (which for any bride is a dream come true!) They were wonderful to work with (professional and so nice!) I would recommend them to all brides- their service was 5 star, thank you Mattie and Brittney!
The key to making our wedding perfect was Brittney and the BLB team. From the first phone call to the final wedding hour, Brittney was an ideal wedding coordinator — detailed, warm...
, excited, professional, and an all around pleasure to work with. Her assistant Mattie was so diligent in the final days before the wedding to make sure that every detail was thought of. It is so clear that Brittney takes pride in her work and I would recommend BLB to anyone.
We got married in October in Prospect Park (the Picnic House) and since it was a raw space, we decided to hire a day-of coordinator. BLB Events came highly recommended from the ven...
ue, and they absolutely came through.
Brittney and Mattie were organized, kind, thoughtful, and super supportive of us through the whole process. We had a bunch of vendors, and having BLB as our day-of meant that we only had to speak to one group of people; Brittney and Mattie took on all the rest of the pre-wedding coordination. Their shared documents helped me stay super organized and not feel like I was on an island by myself. I'm sure I would have missed something had we not invested in their services. They really worked to understand our vision, make sure everyone had the right expectations day-of, and it's absolutely because of BLB events that our wedding day was smooth, ran on time, and everyone got what they needed. Thank you!
Brittney and Mattie were the best wedding planners we could've chosen. They coordinated with multiple vendors, helped with a last-minute schedule change, and on the day-of, made su...
re it was well-run. My husband and I were able to enjoy ourselves, knowing it was in great hands. If you're lucky enough to have a wedding date they're available for, hire them!!!

il leading up to the wedding. It was everything we envisioned and more! The room looked perfect and the day went off flawlessly. Our family and friends are still talking about how great our wedding was. Thanks again Brittney!
BEST DECISION MADE EVER. We got engaged in 2018 decided for a 2020 wedding but then we had to push our wedding off twice so ended up having about 5 years to find vendors and plan i...
t. However with my Type-A personality I needed to make sure I looked at ALL options and create a whole big spreadsheet. BLB Events team was so understanding when I spoke to them the first time. We just hit it off. I put the pro..in procrastinator so I had waited until 5-6 weeks before our wedding date to look for a month of coordinator. Right after we decided to work with the BLB team Brittney quickly made an appointment for us do a walk through at the venue. She asked all the right questions with the event coordinator, asked us questions we did not even think of. She had all the right documents for us to fill out that help us remind us the small things we might have forgotten. I had told her when we first met I just wanted to stop having wedding nightmares about things going wrong, and those did stop for sure once we started working together. I knew with everything in their hands nothing would go wrong, and nothing did! She had figured out our timeline for the day, and just thinking if I had to do this myself I drive myself crazy. She knew exactly how to space the time out. Even was there to help support me with the sun baking down on me when we were taking photos. Brittney and Kymberle ran everything so smoothly, they were the ones who was making sure everything was on track without knowing they were there. They were super stealth where I felt bad that we barely got to interact during the wedding! Everything was packed neatly and perfectly at the end of the night we did not even have to mention what we wanted to save everything was there. I can not stress how happy and stress free my last month was because I had the BLB Events team on my side. Even my mom who was the biggest worry wort was so happy to know BLB was there for us and she could trust letting them handle everything. As much as I do not want to plan another wedding, but if we had to like to renew our vows or something, this time I hire them from the start and just trust them with everything because it was really the best decision we made.
BLB Events was a dream!
My husband and I hired Brittney as our Day Of Coordinator and from the beginning, Brittney was so communicative and organized. The documents she shares with...
you to keep you on track are so detailed and were SO helpful in our planning process so we could get a lot of things done on our own. (Let's just say, I love a spreadsheet and Brittney's tools are user friendly spreadsheets to keep you on track but not stress you out.) To be clear though, you aren't left to your own devices for Day Of...any time I had a question, Brittney answered quickly and thoroughly and offered honest and helpful advice. I can only imagine how awesome BLB would be if hired for their full planning services.
As the days approached closer to our wedding, we were thrilled to find out that we would not only have Brittney for our day but also, Mattie! This was a pleasant surprise to have two BLB team members even though our wedding was small-medium sized.
Day of, Brittney and Mattie were calming, positive vibes while getting things done. They went ABOVE AND BEYOND to set up our floral diys that are honestly, usually handled by the florist. It was a quick turnover from ceremony to dinner and they got it done without any issues and made everything look beautiful and exactly as we dreamed.
Additionally, Mattie was so awesome at capturing additional candid videos and social media reels that our photo/video teams may not have gotten bc they were focusing on the main photo ops.
I feel I should mention that I also work in events and in particular, weddings. Knowing the ins and outs of what goes on behind the scenes, it was important to me and my husband that we had coordinators that are detailed oriented, trustworthy, have a great relationship with our venue (you could tell our venue loves BLB), and above all, kind! Brittney and Mattie were alllll that and more. Thank you, you two! (Hire them for your wedding!!)
Brittney is the epitome of calm, cool, and collected! We had the pleasure of working with Brittney and her team for our wedding reception and their expertise and professionalism is...
exactly what I needed to be able to enjoy my special day without worrying about a single thing. From the very beginning, I was provided with a Google Drive of materials to help me prepare (we had BLB events as our day-of coordinator/executioner) until ~6 weeks before, at which point we had constant seamless communication with Brittney, who not only totally understood my vision, presented many options for things I wasn't sure about, and made sure any last minute changes were shared with all the vendors. Let's just say I'm type A and thought I'd be super nervous about the reception, but believe me, Brittney is the only person who can put my mind at ease when it comes to coordination and execution! Thanks a million to Brittney and all of BLB Events team! Hope to be working with you all again soon for future life events! :) - Sonny & Tony
Planning a wedding can be stressful, and early on my husband and I knew that in the final weeks leading up to our wedding, we wanted to hand the reins over to an expert. Brittney a...
nd her team gave us exactly what we wanted and needed - a wedding that flowed perfectly without our having to even think about it!
From the first moment we connected with Brittney, we knew we were in good hands due to her warmth, professionalism, and clear communication. We opted for a package that meant BLB's services kicked in about six weeks before our wedding, which felt like it came at the perfect time! They sent us a suite of planning documents that really helped us shape our vision for the wedding, and later, calls with Brittney and Mattie helped us come up with the perfect plan to ensure the night flowed smoothly.
Lastly, Brittney was the perfect person on hand when things went wrong, as they inevitably do. My husband and I almost forgot to get a marriage license amid all the planning, and Brittney had crucial advice that helped save the day!
All in all, Brittney and her team made it so that on the actual day, all my husband and I had to do was arrive and experience our wedding. We left much of set up and break down in her capable hands, and it felt amazing not to have to worry about details like how decor was getting home, as we knew Brittney was on it. She and Mattie were a joy to work with, and made us feel confident and comfortable every step of the way. Thank you BLB!
We highly recommend Brittney and her team! We always felt like we were in great hands with Brittney and that she had every detail covered. She made us feel like we could focus on e...
verything else because she'd take care of the nitty gritty logistics and do it well. On the day of, Gillian clearly had her stuff together and supported us at all the right times, without being overbearing. We felt well informed and she asked us all the right questions so that our night could unfold exactly how we wanted it to in a way that felt natural and easy for us. We're so grateful we booked Brittney!
We are huge Brittney fans! Brittney is a true expert in wedding planning and delivered beyond all expectations. Brittney and her team are absolutely incredible. The planning proces...
s and the day of execution were flawless and I am still in awe of how gracefully Brittney and her team operated to make our wedding day the best day ever!
We booked our venue with 5 months to plan our wedding. From the start, Brittney provided detailed guidance on vendors that fit the style of wedding we wanted and that would fit within our overall budget. We loved all of the vendors that Brittney recommended and she talked us through, with patience, all of the details of our contracts and agreements with the band, caterer, venue, florist, and hair/make-up team. Brittney was super responsive and answered all of my many questions with detail and expert advice.
For day of planning, Brittney managed all details with our vendors to make the entire timeline flow without a hitch, so that we could focus on celebrating our big day and being present with our family, friends and each other.
I should note that I personally work in client service and hospitality and have never worked with a better team. It really felt like Brittney and her team thought of everything and I would recommend them to anyone who is looking to work with a smart, savvy, seasoned wedding planning team!
We cannot imagine having had our wedding with out the help of Brittney and her team. As our “day-of coordinator,” the team reviewed our wedding day timeline (which was huge becaus...
e we had major holes in it!), gave us amazing ideas for our after party (don’t be shy to book some extra pre-planning sessions), and organized a walk through with our venue which was invaluable for executing the reception. Something we really appreciated is how realistic and efficient Brittney is. She gives you her honest opinion on what you do and don’t need without trying to maximize cost or fuss. On the actual day, Brittney’s team addressed a dozen little unexpected issues that cropped up and did so with a smile on their faces. Being able to have people you can turn to in the moment to handle whatever you may need and in the nicest and most effective way is incredible. They made our day absolutely seamless.
To say we were pleased with our experience with Brittney and her team would be an understatement. We had a “partial planning” package, and worked with Brittney during the year up t...
o our wedding. Not only is Brittney an amazing planner, she’s a positive, genuine person and we’re so happy we’ve gotten to know her!
Our venue was a raw space, so we really appreciated the many vendor recommendations that we needed and the helpful guidance throughout the entire process of how to create a wedding from scratch. From budget to floorplan to reviewing rental lists and beyond — Brittney was there for every step. We had a ton of questions and Brittney’s responses were always extremely helpful (and prompt!).
Brittney’s preparation and coordination on the day of our wedding was a godsend. She connected with all of the vendors prior to the day of and had everything perfectly organized to ensure that we could focus on each other and the celebration. Every moment and every detail was accounted for, and there was truly nothing that we were stressed about because we knew that Brittney was on it. Even during the unplanned moments—when the air conditioner in the venue broke on a 95° day—Brittney was in immediate contact with the venue manager so we didn’t have to deal with it.
We absolutely loved our wedding day and are so grateful to Brittney and her team for being such a big part of making it happen!
Brittney, Mattie, Gillian, and the entire BLB team were an exceptional and invaluable help for our wedding this June. They started with us two months before the big day and helped...
organize our planning logistics, coordinate with our vendors, and design the day’s schedule. They also did an *impeccable* job running point on the day-of. They were super responsive, friendly, and knowledgeable - and also handled some random wackiness during the reception with a deftness and flexibility that kept the evening on track and amazing.
Cannot recommend the BLB team enough! They will do a great job for you and - in my experience - help your wedding weekend be as smooth, stress-free, and (above all) fun as possible. Thanks, y’all!
BLB Events was outstanding. Brittney and her team guided us through an infamously stressful process in such a way that made it a fun, creative, and even joyful experience. Brittney...
is a straight shooter with an uncanny ability to juggle the minutest logistic while simultaneously staying receptive to the unique sensibilities of the couple and flexible around last-minute changes. Two moments from our wedding stand out in particular for me as emblematic of BLB's touch: (a) mere hours before our ceremony began, Brittney came up with an original solution to a design note that had been floated by one of the wedding party, only to have it vetoed by another member of the party as soon as Brittney had implemented it. Brittney could not have handled the situation with more grace, and on top of all the details she and her team kept aloft that day, she and Mattie made time to check in with me (the bride) multiple times to make sure I was comfortable and well-hydrated; (b) after our reception ended, in the middle of a dramatic rainstorm, Brittney returned to the reception venue to retrieve two plastic chairs she realized we had forgotten from the hora segment of our reception, carrying them both downstairs herself. Before the seamlessly executed event, Brittney was professional, fun, warm, relaxed, organized, full of ideas, and she kept planning on track meticulously without being at all overbearing or making us feel micromanaged. She was a true magician whom we trusted wholeheartedly with this most personal wedding adventure and a wonderful soul to boot. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to Brittney, Mattie, Josh, and the entire BLB team for expert planning and day-of coordination that let us focus on each other and the joyful event itself!
Brittney Bartling is a gold mine of organization, experience, flexibility, and fun for anyone putting together a wedding – or any event.
Our daughter was married in April, a fusion...
wedding – Indian/Western, merging Hindu, Jewish, and Christian traditions. Hiring Brittney Bartling was the smartest decision we made for what quickly emerged to be a complicated event.
From the get-go Brittney was on top of everything, with gentle reminders, always clear, never judgmental, open to ideas, responding to texts, emails, and calls immediately. Our scheduled periodic zoom planning calls, leading up to the final two weeks, were a pleasure – comprehensive, thorough, and exciting. Everything was covered. Brittney’s experience and knowledge of all aspects and options around every form of wedding ceremony and reception is extensive.
The vendors she referred us to were all excellent. Her sure direction at the eve of wedding rehearsal allowed for a smooth run-through and provided us all with the comfort of knowing that we were prepared. The wedding day, which involved multiple elements requiring spot on accuracy, went as smoothly as one could hope for. Brittney and her wonderful assistant, Mattie, quietly just made everything run like clockwork – so that the stress inherent in the wedding party’s experience, especially for myself, as mom of the bride, was at a minimum. And we were able to truly just enjoy the moment and the people.
In a film producing unit there’s someone called the Line Producer. The Line Producer makes sure that everyone and everything is on time, has what they need, knows what they’re doing, and everything - soup to nuts - runs smoothly, so that nothing disrupts the critical work on set with camera and actors.
Brittney was our Line Producer. Her expertise, crack team, and gentle, sure temperament provided a seamless, incredibly well-organized celebration for us all.
Could we have even gotten married without Brittney and her team?? Probably, but it wouldn't have been nearly as good. We originally had only planned on using Brittney’s day-of coor...
dination package, but after booking a raw space venue, we decided that the extra help would be well worth the additional cost. I am SO happy we had extra time and help with Brittney; she not only has the most incredible contacts, but is also so on top of things and just an all around pleasure to work with. She was so accommodating for meetings, always gave it to us straight, and effortIessly massaged all our scattershot ideas into something tasteful, intentional, and uniquely us. She even surprised us with 3D renderings of the space so we could better visualize! Her energy and excitement were so genuine, and a constant reminder for us that we were in good hands. I remember having screening calls with other planners and feeling more overwhelmed once we got off the call, but Brittney takes away so much stress and truly makes you feel like you’re working with a friend. We love you Brittney!
Brittney was so patient and helpful during our research process. She was always available to answer questions (and her answers were always so good!). She is clearly amazing at what...
she does. We are forever grateful and would definitely work with her and the BLB team at some point in the future.
We honestly cannot imagine our wedding without BLB Events. Brittney and her team are simply inextricable from our entire wedding experience, and we cannot recommend them enough.

pon getting engaged, we learned that the very idea of putting on a wedding (amid a global health crisis, no less) is about as daunting of a task as my wife and I could ask for. But from the very first moment of meeting Brittney, all of our fears and anxieties about the process dissipated into thin air. We connected immediately to Brittney's calm, collected demeanor and were immensely impressed by how organized and thoughtful she was about the months-long journey we had in front of us.
From proposal to "I do," Brittney was always there for us, providing both logistical and emotional support. Her work is top notch and you simply cannot do better than BLB Events for your wedding.
Brittney and the team did an amazing job making sure our wedding was everything we wanted! They asked the questions about details we didn’t even think of and seamlessly flipped our...
space from ceremony to dinner without breaking a sweat. Such a stress free experience!
Three Words: Hire BLB now.
Since our ceremony and reception were in separate locations (plus...a pandemic...), we wanted a day-of coordinator to help ensure that the day ran smoot...
hly. Brittney and her team accomplished this and so much more. From the first meeting, Brittney was organized, provided clear direction and remarkably thorough planning documentation, and was incredibly communicative. With COVID in full swing, she kept her clients up-to-speed on all of the latest requirements and guidelines. In the six weeks leading up to our wedding, BLB was the main point of contact for our vendors from everything ranging from timelines to parking passes to COIs, and we knew we were in amazing hands. A week before the wedding, we reviewed the flow of the day, and Brittney confirmed everything down to the last detail. On the day of the event, she and her team were a kind, calming presence for everyone, and ensured that everything ran smoothly. We never worried about logistics once -- all we needed to do was have the most magical time (cheesy as that sounds!) and spend quality time with our guests. We can't thank Brittney and her team enough for all of their hard work, guidance, and empathy. They were just incredible and anyone would be lucky to work with them.
Brittney was our month-of coordinator for our August 2021 wedding at Frankies 457 Spuntino in Brooklyn. Working with Brittney and her team was an absolute pleasure, and she made i...
t possible for us to effectively be guests at our own wedding. I recommend her to anyone planning their wedding.
We first contacted Brittney after receiving a referral from our venue. After interviewing several coordinators, we were impressed with Brittney’s candor, organizational aptitude, and extensive experience.
As two busy people with jobs (unusual?), we were horrified by the 10,000 little things that go into planning a wedding. Despite our many spreadsheets, we were similarly overwhelmed by the spectre of unknown unknowns. Thankfully, Brittney’s online tools, responsiveness to email, and, as our wedding day approached, to-do lists and check-ins, allowed us to focus on actually-important things without getting bogged down in the minutiae that Wedding Internet says will ruin everything (does no one know calligraphy?!). She basically designed our timeline for us, because we are confused children in our late mid-thirties.
Brittney also handled last-minute semi-crises seamlessly. When our cellist got a breakthrough COVID infection two days before our wedding, Brittney had already called and confirmed details with the replacement musician before we fully processed what was happening. (He’s ok, I should add.)
The actual wedding day ran like clockwork. Brittney’s two coordinators worked closely with the venue to maintain a tight timeline and usher people (and us) where we needed to go. They also did a beautiful job setting things up beforehand; we literally just had to drop things off with directions and show up six hours later. We spent the evening hanging out with our friends and family, and followed directions when necessary. Everyone had a wonderful time. We had a wonderful time. Brittney is a gem. Five hundred stars.
We decided to hire Brittney after booking most of the big-ticket items ourselves. We had been planning our wedding for over a year, and as we neared the big day, we came to the dau...
nting realization that there was no way we could control all the small details needed to make this a perfect experience for us and our guests. Things were starting to fall through the cracks, and we were losing sleep. So after speaking to a few potential coordinators, we decided to hire Brittney two months prior to our wedding day. She seemed very calm, organized, and had a ton of experience. We couldn’t be happier with this decision!
As the bride, I was so relieved to have someone in the driver’s seat coordinating all the moving pieces. There were so many things that I did not even consider prior to Brittney, and all those small things in combination would have created pure chaos. One month before the wedding, our venue imposed unreasonable new rules that would have made it impossible to have an enjoyable event there. Brittney was immediately on it and found an even better venue for us. She literally prevented us from having a heart attack.
Leading up to the day, she had helpful lists and spreadsheets to keep us organized and on track. She coordinated a walkthrough with our vendors, had several calls with us going over each detail so that we were completely relaxed the week of the wedding. On the actual day, everything was smooth, everyone knew where they needed to be and at what time. It seems like there was zero confusion or chaos. We honestly had the most perfect day. We were calm, we were able to focus on each other and our families, and we were able to fully absorb every precious moment! Thank you, Brittney and team!
If you don't think you need/want a wedding planner, think again. And then hire BLB Events. Brittney & BLB Events was the best wedding planning decision we made. From our first plan...
ning call, when she sent us her incredible planning documents (the most detailed & clear lists/timelines/vendor suggestions, etc) she made us feel calm & secure. We just knew that no matter what happened, she was in our corner. And then 2020 happened...we were one of the many couples forced to postpone/reimagine our original plan and Brittney was there every step of the way with ideas, solutions & general encouragement. I honestly don't know how we'd have gotten through the postponement without her! I couldn't keep up with the changing the safety protocols but Brittney always had the answers. It was so comforting to know that she was on top of it & I didn't have to add another thing to my list! She also created a safe space for me unload my feelings, be sad, whine or complain. Having Brittney to talk to was a total game changer. She knew exactly what we were dealing with and was always there to listen, offer encouragement & support.
On the day of our wedding, I woke up so calm. I knew I had nothing to worry about because Brittney had helped keep us on track throughout the planning process, everything was done & the BLB team was at the venue handling setup. I knew that I wasn't going to get a panicked phone call or text from a vendor who didn't know where to go or what to do. Once we got to the venue for our first look, everything was perfect. The vendors were setting up & all the little details that Brittney & I had talked about were there (because she kept track of them all). Throughout the night, we had nothing to worry about. Brittney had it covered. A perfect example of how on top of everything she was...my dad got up to give his toast & realized that he'd forgotten his champagne glass. No problem! Brittney noticed & there she was with a glass for him. He didn't have to say a thing, didn't stop his speech, Brittney & that glass just appeared, like magic.
I think that's probably the best way to sum up BLB Events: Brittney & her team are so good at their job, it looks like magic.
If you want to completely enjoy your wedding & be present for the whole day without worrying about anything, hire BLB Events.
Brittney was an absolute god send! She helped me navigate my wedding which I planned we booked three months in advance. I felt overwhelmed and Brittney just came at the right time....
She is level headed, thorough, and always available if needed. She handled all of our requests with care and rolled with the punches. If it weren't for Brittney we would not have enjoyed the wedding the way we did!
Our Sept 2021 NYC wedding went off without a hitch due to Brittney and her team at BLB Events. Brittney is organized, responsive, level-headed and will help you stay calm throughou...
t a process that can be quite overwhelming. Do yourself a favor and hire them! We found BLB after our original 2020 destination wedding fell through and we were feeling pretty uninspired by the whole planning process. That changed when Brittney came into the picture and helped our NYC celebration happen in just 3 months! We couldn’t have done it without BLB. Brittney is the resource you need to bring together all the moving pieces...communication with vendors, recommendations, advice, and every task on the day of...BLB WILL MAKE IT HAPPEN!
Brittney is an absolute gem. My partner and I loved working with her as our day-of coordinator! We had to reschedule our wedding three times because of the pandemic and she took it...
all in stride. Working with her allowed us to relax on the day of and make the entire process so much easier. Brittney, thank you again for everything you did to make our day so special. We are so grateful!!
What would we have done without Brittney? She was seriously a life saver and we could not have imagined our day going as perfectly as is it did without her help!
She was very organ...
ized and on top of every little details which allowed us to not have to think about anything on the day of our wedding. She was always available whenever we needed her and even took the time to help us navigate some very difficult conversations and overcome some last minute obstacles. We thought we would have a very hard time justifying the cost of a month of coordinator, however, Brittney left us with zero doubt about our decision and it was definitely the smartest one we made (Outside of marrying each other :) ).
Not only is Brittney a kind and pleasant person to work with, she also knows how to calm the most crazy of situations and keep you feeling confident that everything is going to work out perfectly.
Brittney is a must hire for your event if you want it to go off without a hitch!
We had such a great experience working with Brittney and quite literally could not have pulled off the wedding without her. She was responsive, professional, and patient. My wed...
ding day was perfect and stress-free, all thanks to BLB. I cannot recommend BLB Events enough!
If we could give Brittney ten stars, we would. Brittney went above and beyond throughout our wedding to ensure it was a special, easy day. I honestly don’t think we would have had ...
such a beautiful day without her. Brittney is a true professional. She’s the calm in the chaos and always was easy to work with. My favorite quality about her is that she was also a good brainstorming partner throughout and we’d have quick phone sessions or email exchange to work through ideas, challenges and troublesome vendors. I could not recommend her enough!
Brittney is an asset on a wedding day! She is organized, approachable, and has a great energy on location. Highly recommend!
Brittney was a god send in helping us plan for our May 2021 wedding. Like so many others, we had really gone through the wringer in planning a wedding during covid, with 3 differen...
t venues. We hired BLB for month of coordination and Brittney was able to turn around what had become a rather depressing process and make it something not only manageable but enjoyable. I was able to relax knowing that she was handling all of the coordination and focus on being excited for our wedding day! The day of was amazing, I didn't have to worry about a thing knowing Brittney and her team were there. I couldn't tell you where my cell phone was at all that day, that's how confident I was that things were going smoothly. 12/10 stars!
