Color Pop Events

xieties. Other planners we interviewed seemed forced or overly bubbly. During interviews, other planners also made assumptions about what kind of wedding we wanted and how we'd use a planner, whereas Leah made it clear she was skilled at handling many different types of weddings and any vibe of couple. The second reason we went with Leah was her experience dealing with queer weddings. She had the sensitivity and know-how to use appropriate language and ask the right questions. The third reason was how Leah packages her services. We liked that she offered a level of involvement that could save us some money and also allow for collaboration, rather than other planners who cost more and who seemed eager to take over. We clearly made the right choice. Working with Leah was such a breeze, and made the whole planning experience SOOO much more comfortable. There were the practical benefits - connections with great vendors, creative ideas, keeping us on schedule. And then there were the emotional benefits - Leah was always on it behind the scenes, monitoring everything, helping to keep us calm, and intervening when the occasional vendor started to get on our nerves. We couldn't recommend Leah enough. In those stressful pre-wedding months that come with juggling not just tasks but lots of people, it was amazing to have such a nice, competent woman in our corner!

tire morning of my wedding day is something I credit entirely to Leah. There was nothing to worry about, because I knew she had coordinated everything perfectly. She was in communication with all of our many vendors and was making sure the whole day flowed smoothly without us even having to think. In my mind, that is the essence of the perfect wedding planner...not to mention the months (15 to be exact) of timelines, curated vendor recommendations, free therapy, and so much more that Leah provided along the way. We can’t thank Leah enough for the perfect wedding day!

erything (and more) a person needs to be to handle such an important event. This review will not be able to completely do her justice but here are some of the reasons you should hire Leah: - Receptive, thoughtful, and patient. This was especially important in the beginning. Leah was very supportive of our ideas and helped us develop them. - Budget-conscious. She was great at being aware of our budget and would let us know if she thought we might be spending money on something that would be frivolous. - Great advocate. When working with other vendors, you will have to sign many contracts. As long as Leah read it and approved, we felt confident that we were getting a good deal. And as a bonus, Leah was also a lawyer in a previous life! - Calming, relaxing presence. Anytime we would be worried about something, she had a way of reassuring us we were on the right track. This became especially valuable the closer it got to the wedding day when tensions tend to run high. - Great communicator. Not only would she be quick to respond to our many questions and concerns, but she was great at seeing past our worries and getting to the heart of what we were asking. - Well-connected. There are many vendors involved in the execution of a wedding and everyone she knew and introduced us to were highly professional and the best in the business. You could tell they just loved working with her as we did. We could not have imagined going through this experience without Leah by our side. The most important detail to sum up our experience working with Leah: our wedding weekend was incredible, all of our guests were raving about the event was and it was one of the best days of our lives.

t’s website, so while I almost never write reviews, in this case, the reviews I read helped me so much that I want to pay it forward for other brides (and the occasional groom who participates in the planning) to make sure they know how awesome she is too. As a former corporate lawyer, Leah is extremely organized and responsive. But she’s also creative—both with ideas and solutions. She was enthusiastic, kind, responsive, accommodating, communicative and ALWAYS CALM. She indulged my indecisiveness, while simultaneously making sure we stayed on schedule and never made me feel stressed out or overwhelmed. Leah has extensive relationships in the industry and connected us with lots of other amazing vendors. Venues and wedding vendors love working with her, which made things incredibly easy and seamless for us. She took all the back-and-forth off my plate, handled all the logistics and meticulously planned our day-of schedule. I’d come up with an idea and she would automatically take the step of connecting me with someone who could bring it to life. But she’s also conscientious—convincing me not to spend money unnecessarily and she she definitely talked me off the Amazon ledge—where I was basically spending all my time. On the actual wedding day, I had a completely stress free and amazing time. She put out every fire, handled every “emergency” and directed all the moving parts without me even noticing. I basically just showed up and had a good time. You should hire her now. And you can thank me later.

without her. Her guidance, counsel, encouragement and cheerful personality made the planning so much less stressful. During the planning stages Leah put me in contact with wonderful and talented vendors making my invitations memorable and beautiful. She also helped me with knowing what were the right questions to ask of the vendors to ensure that I was ordering and most importantly paying for the correct amount of food and such. On the day of she was EXCEPTIONAL! She handled every detail allowing me to enjoy the day without a single worry. Her quick thinking, cool demeanor and attention to detail made sure that even the biggest hiccups (like finding a power source on a beach after the generator broke) go smoothly! She kept us on time, on schedule and having a fantastic time! Do not go and do this alone, you need a Leah, actually you need Leah and Color Pop Events because she will make your special day THE special day. It will be beautiful, wonderful and everything you could hope for. She will make sure that all those questions you didn't even know you should have get answered. That those unorganized thoughts and ideas you have are focused and made to come to fruition, in the most beautiful way. Leah is amazing, wonderful, organized, thoughtful and creative. I am so happy that she was there to help me! And you will be too.

I tend to be an extremely organized person. Thankfully we knew each other from a past life and reconnected to prep he big day. In the end, I knew that I needed assistance because I was actually having back-to-back weddings (Fri & Sat) and that if I wanted the Saturday event to go off without a hitch, I needed some help. And help she did! Leah was great at sending me vendor recommendations, like my my beautiful photographer, Cadence Kennedy Photography Collection, communicating and setting up calls/meetings with the vendors and removing a level of stress throughout the whole planning process. Her level-headed advice when I was stressed and needed to vent was on point and exactly what I needed to hear in the moment. Although the wedding had more of a ‘traditional bridal’ color scheme, I did opt to go with metallic blue hi-top Reeboks, which I hope she appreciated as my ‘something blue’ and the pop of color I know she desires in all wedding planning (if she has her way!). Leah, thank you for all of your hard work and expertise. You and Jackie did an awesome job the day-of and I couldn’t be happier with having you assist in making sure our big day went off without (many) hitches! <3

er. Leah immediately gave us a project timeline and got us on track prioritizing what was most important each month leading up to our celebration. Our venue was very DIY and we were planning a 3-day Indian-Jewish wedding in the Catskills, with A LOT of moving parts. She never questioned our choices and was enormously supportive in finding ways to turn our complex vision into a reality. This meant managing many vendors, renting a lot of equipment and dealing with the complexities of being in a remote location. Through it all, Leah maintained a calm (we don't know how she does it!), cool and collected attitude, which in turn kept us chill as could be. It's clear that Leah understands the psychology of weddings, and how nutty they can make people. Her ability to be simultaneously rational and creative was impressive. We really appreciated how responsive she was over the course of working with her. Whenever a question or concern arose, we knew we could rely on her for wise counsel. She developed detailed schedules for each day of our wedding, and when it came time to execute, we had nothing to worry about because she was so on top of everything. Additionally, all of the vendors she recommended were fantastic, and all clearly love working with her. Her team was superb, too, and were really attentive to our needs during our wedding weekend. What more could you want in a wedding planner?! We couldn't recommend Leah more highly!

t say enough wonderful things about her. Our wedding this summer was THE MOST epic and incredibly perfect ultimate love-bomb of a day and night. We are so grateful that we got to be 1000% blissfully in the moment at our wedding — just living and loving every second of it, because Leah and her team handled everything down to the very last detail absolutely SEAMLESSLY. #flawless #literally!!! And we definitely did not have a simple wedding to coordinate. We got married at a venue in Brooklyn that required us to hire outside vendors for every category — which meant that Leah coordinated a multitude of different vendors for us (catering, florist, party rentals - including for furniture, table settings, linens, etc., DJ, photographers, ice cream truck, hair and makeup artists, hotel liaisons, just to name a few!!) — not only on the actual day of our wedding, but also for the 7+ months leading up to our wedding while we were working together (including our rehearsal and everything else in between). We also ended up having a bunch of nutty little details planned (including a slightly crazy ombre-patterned layout for the napkins around each table) and Leah made sure that all of those little details were executed perfectly. In addition to managing all of our to-dos, she helped us stay on top of our budget and was clutch with helping us to save money where possible without sacrificing any of the things that we cared about. It’s also extremely telling that every single vendor we worked with told us how lucky we were to working with Leah. Vendors repeatedly mentioned to us that our planning process was extremely smooth, which was entirely due to Leah’s excellent management and relationships within the industry (she is adored!!). Our theory is that Leah is able to work all of her magic because she is actually a superhuman living among us (how lucky for us!!). But seriously, she is super organized and responsive and has superior problem solving abilities. But she definitely not just the Platonic ideal of a high-achieving “type-A person”-- she is so much more: so much fun(!!!), funny, enthusiastic and supportive. She also has the most calming presence and communication style . Leah’s entire process was extremely personalized, tailored to our needs and preferences. She has an uncanny ability to read and relate to people, and we felt like she totally “got us” within the first minute of meeting her. Leah impressed us so much and made us so comfortable, we actually hired her on the spot despite thinking when we initially got engaged that we probably didn’t need a coordinator. The decision to hire Leah was the pivotal point in pulling off a wedding that exceeded our expectations and we’ll forever remember as the greatest day of our life. This review really just skims the surface of what we have to say about Leah. She masterfully coordinated the most epic day imaginable for us and we will forever be grateful to her for all of the overwhelming care, extraordinary attention, genuine enthusiasm and love that she poured into our wedding. Leah is a magical rockstar coordinator and absolute gem of a person and we will rave about her forever!!!!!!!!!!!

owed me to bounce these ridiculous ideas off of her and she gave me honest feedback that led us to the most perfect look. She knew we were on a budget and helped us eliminate silly expenses that would go unnoticed. About 2 months leading up to the wedding, we handed everything over to her and didn't have to think about if the tent would be up, or if the florist knew when to get there to load in. Day of is where she really shined - we implemented Plan B due to rain and she made sure it went off without a hitch. We had the best time because she kept everything organized and we didn't have to worry about a thing. We for sure would recommend Leah!

and always responded to my emails and questions promptly. She recommended great vendors to us and reviewed all of our contracts, which I found very helpful. A lot of the coordinators I talked to before working with Leah, many of whom came highly recommended, were unwilling to work with me until a few months before my wedding. Leah was the opposite - she was there for everything. She was also so great on our wedding day. When an extra guest arrived, she figured out how to seat them and took care of any other issues that arose (I'm not even aware of any issues, probably because Leah handled them). She also has such a great aesthetic, which was really helpful when I wasn't sure about color choices or decor. I cannot recommend her more and literally send her information to everyone I know planning a wedding in the New York area. Thanks so much, Leah!

organized, answered our questions, and most importantly, kept everything leading up to and on the day of our wedding running smoothly. Having Leah and her team there meant that not only did I not have to stress on my wedding, but neither did my mom nor my sisters/maids of honor. Not such an easy feat for my family! Leah was also a calming presence and always made me feel like my voice was heard, and my vision was respected. Hiring her was the best decision we could have made for what turned out to be the best night of our lives.

nd extraordinary wedding day. The back-and-forth communication she handled with all our vendors allowed our wedding process to feel seamless and stress-free, and her expertise was especially helpful when it came to combing two very different cultures into one epic celebration of love. No matter how many times I changed my mind, added more tasks (including a second ceremony!), and broke down about budget, Leah always kept me focused and positive, and she followed through on all her commitments - for that we will be forever grateful. Not only do I highly recommend Leah for any/all wedding planning needs, but I offer 5 stars for her endless dedication and genuine excitement for our overall happiness as a couple.

ade the right call, and we didn't have to worry about a thing.

f-planner, but little did we know that she would go above and beyond her day-of duties and save our wedding day! The weather did not cooperate the day of our wedding. We had 40+ mph winds and torrential rain. We also had an outdoor cocktail party and partially-tented reception planned for 180 guests. At 10am, while I was getting my hair done, I got a call from Leah letting me know the venue canceled the use of the tent, but “not to panic” she would have everything under control. Ironically, I didn’t panic, because I trusted Leah so much that I knew she would plan something that kept our vision alive! Well I was right! When I arrived to the church, Leah informed me of all the changes that were going to take place including, the rooftop cocktail hour would be moved to the foyer of the hotel, the assigned-seated dinner would became a cocktail-style (something that we originally wanted, but got nervous our guests wouldn’t like), and the new layout for the food stations and photo booth. Everything seemed great, and when we arrived to the venue, we were shocked to see how she transformed one plan to another in a matter of hours, but still had our ideas, and most importantly, us, in mind. In addition to the weather, there were multiple issues that arose throughout the night. Leah took care of every single one of them without burdening us. At the end of the night, Leah did not stop being our planner. She took the initiative to meet with our vendors afterwards to discuss the issues that we experienced to ensure that we left as happy clients. We are so grateful for everything Leah did for us before, during, and after our wedding! She truly cares about her clients and no matter what circumstances arrive, she goes out of her way to ensure the couple has the wedding day they dreamed of!

after first trying to plan our wedding on our own. We quickly realized that this was no task for us alone and as soon as we spoke with Leah we knew that she would be the one to help us plan the wedding weekend we hoped for. Leah is well connected and knows many different people and places that suit a wide variety of tastes and visions. She was patient and full of great ideas as we worked through finding a beautiful venue that met all of needs and fantastic venders that matched our vibe and working style. She helped us to both hone in on our vision for our celebration as well as stay calm through the process so we could really enjoy every moment. She is generous with her time and made herself available to meet us in person to work out details or to join us in vender meetings, which was a great comfort during the more hectic moments. She is also incredibly thoughtful, remembering graduations and trips we were taking and providing wisdom when wedding-related tensions arose. Leah is an incredible woman and conducts her business with the utmost kindness and class. She and her team created a space for us to enjoy the weekend with our families while they executed all events smoothly and with attention to every detail. I love Leah, and as other have said, I am so glad that she is now my friend.

a teammate. We could not recommend anyone more highly for anything.

e to to help me create exactly what I wanted. From the moment I saw her website with pictures of her own amazing wedding I knew she was the only wedding planner for me. She came to our initial meeting with stationary samples from the person I ended up hiring to design all our paper goods as well as our website. Leah would narrow down the endless lists vendors and present us with her top 2 or 3 she knew could implement our vision. We got our event designer, stationer and hair/makeup artist through her. She was present at our tasting, both first and final walk through of the space, multiple face to face meetings as the big day got closer, and was always available over email and phone from the moment she was hired. Her day of timeline for every single person involved in the wedding was an organized person's dream come true. She helped facilitate all the special moments during the wedding including helping me to incorporate and surprise my husband with a cappuccino artist which required both extra work as well as discretion. Most importantly she helped me make my vision come to life and was there every step of the way to ensure we had the best day ever.

planning a wedding into manageable chunks, and helped navigate us through the entire process of vendor selection. On top of that, she's also just a fun person to hang out with! We actually looked forward to our meetings with her, knowing they would be both productive and fun. Leah was such a crucial part of pulling off this day. I honestly don't know how we could have done it without her. Her organization and attention to detail was absolutely crucial to making things go off smoothly. Hire Leah as your planner - you won't regret it!

(the Museum of Moving Image) that required us to bring in and set up every detail. At the first meeting Leah immediately put me at ease and the next morning I received a detailed, personalized checklist. I knew right then that she was going to be amazing. Throughout the planning process, she was in constant contact. She organized every detail into a timeline, which constantly evolved as the date got closer. Every single one of our vendors commented on how easy Leah was to work with and how great of a job she did. For the day of, Leah had another wedding and one of her co-planners was present for our event. We knew from the beginning that Leah could not personally be present on the day of the event and trusted that the people she works with would be of the same caliber with the same attention to detail. We were not disappointed - although Leah was not physically present she was responsive when vendors had last minute questions, and her co-planner seamlessly choreographed our event. After the night, my husband said it best in that the planner was always around when we needed her or had a question but was never obtrusive. I highly recommend Leah and her team . After the first meeting you will wonder why you waited so long and how you ever could have done any planning without her!

r us to know she was the only human that could tolerate our obnoxious personalities & silly jokes. We are a very nontraditional couple with very nontraditional careers & nontraditional families — and none of this even made her flinch. Planning a wedding is probably the most daunting task I could have ever imagined and within weeks of hiring her we felt not only felt organized but calm. Leah will send you all the information, plan meetings, lead phone calls — she does everything that a planner should do on paper — BUT some of her greatest assets are not things you can find in a portfolio. She listens and is thoughtful. She is totally honest when you need it most. And she’s creative! She contributes to your ideas and completely transforms about 2874 thoughts in your head and creates a tangible reality. Above all, planning a wedding with Leah is FUN! I will never forget the nights we spent laughing with her and the warmth she gave us. I mean, she truly is just the best. She was an amazing planner. But in the end she became our friend. Hire Leah, because weddings are insanely overwhelming and making friends in NYC is hard. If you’re as lucky as we are you will have had the greatest night of your adult life & a new best friend.

oking around and making phone calls to other planners, but something about Leah's style (not to mention stellar reviews!) just kept drawing us back in. We met with her shortly after and hired her on the spot. Best decision we ever made. Leah is cool, calm and collected while simultaneously being impossibly organized and responsible (there wasn't a single email of mine she didn't respond to or silly question left unanswered). I am awful at making decisions and she was so patient throughout the process, never judging or making us feel like we were difficult to work with. Everyone in the business who knows her cannot say enough great things about her. She's truly a professional, and equally importantly a sweet and very kind person. So much so that she even helped a friend of mine review a contract for one of her clients (completely unrelated to wedding planning) - and trust me, it was not because she didn't have enough to do! As an FYI, she's a former practicing attorney, which definitely comes in handy when reviewing vendor contracts! Leah is incredible and for anyone looking for a planner or a month-of coordinator, I cannot recommend her highly enough. About two months into the planning process I was telling everyone that I couldn't have done this without her (the venue search alone was very daunting and having Leah put together for us a list of 20+ venues was such a helpful starting point) and this sentiment only grew stronger throughout the process. After my wedding, seeing how much coordination and work there is required on the day-of (beyond what the venue coordinator must handle), I feel like it wouldn't have been as amazing or seamless without her (really!). To echo all of the reviews I read before - HIRE LEAH!!!

nds-on and having a local wedding that I would want to do it all myself. And for the most part I did, but I knew I'd need some help, especially in the last crazy month. From my first moment with Leah I knew she'd be someone who got me, and was calming but not annoyingly so. She got it without losing her head. She also had great style and I knew she got my vision. And while she was my month-of coordinator, she did help me through the whole process. While I did plan most of my wedding, I know she'd be a great complete planner as well and she was always there if I needed advice or suggestions. She also checked in regularly and never made me feel like I was on my own. I did go slightly crazy towards the end of the planning process and she really helped calm me down in that final month. She took the reins and made sure all my hard work paid off. By the end I was telling people I only trusted myself and Leah! She created a detailed and comprehensive checklist that helped me along the way, she contacted all my vendors (who said she was a pleasure to work with), she created day of time-line that made the whole process run smoothly, she kept my mom in check :), she gave me advice when I asked, and left me alone when she saw I didn't want any, and she kept the whole day running like clockwork. If you need a planner, hire Leah at Color Pop Events, if you don't think you need a planner, hire Leah at Color Pop Events. She's great and my entire family thought so as well. I'll miss working with her! And I can't recommend her enough!

tely wrong. The representative from the florist shop was less than cordial about the entire thing and responded to my request to have to bouquet corrected with "let's not get crazy". This is hardly an appropriate response to give a bride on her wedding day. Luckily Leah stepped in and took control of the situation and dealt expertly (and most importatly took the situation out of the bridal suite) to ensure that the florist understood that their approach to the situation and their final product was unacceptable. Leah made sure that the proper steps were taken to correct the bouquet and gave direction to the florist as he instructed his assistant, who was sent to the flower market, to make sure the bouquet came as close to being correct as possible and bringing me flower choices to the bridal suite to be sure that what was being purchased was correct and exactly what I wanted. This example is something that I personally think separates out the average wedding planners from the extraordinary ones— of which Leah is clearly a part of the latter. Leah's poise, humor, and ability to take control of a situation that very easily could have gone south, made her indispensable that day. On top of this one particular example, Leah ensured that the flow of the day was a smooth as possible and put my mind at ease from the beginning of the day until the last guest left. Amazing talent and an easy-going nature meets a keen eye for details and planning in Leah and Color Pop Events.

rack, kept us there and ensured that the day went off without any issues at all! She gave us and our parents a piece of mind that she "had it all under control", which was all we could ask for. I should also mention that she's just a good person, always has a smile on her face and is very warm. Highly recommend her!

of things I wouldn't have dreamed to consider, she helped me not get carried away and not stress over things that didn't matter, she told me when things were unnecessary or totally necessary. Having Leah help me with my wedding was like having a great friend with amazing taste who knows everything about weddings and will happily go to bat for you on anything. If Leah wasn't there, I feel like my wedding would have been a jumble of 50 really great ideas that had nothing to do with one another (read: a huge mess)! She helped pull it together, she helped make sure the day ran smoothly, she made sure I stopped and enjoyed it. Her being there meant I could enjoy it. Besides marrying my husband, hiring Leah was the best decision I made. In addition to being there the day of the wedding, she was my go-to leading up to it. I couldn't decide on bridesmaids dresses and saw a pic of one I liked on Pinterest. She hunted down the photographer in Australia and found out the name and make of the dresses, in two days!!! I had no idea that could even be done. She is amazing! Truly absolutely amazing. Having Leah on your team is like having an ace up your sleeve no matter what game you are playing. She is knowledgeable, organized, calm, patient, and just the sweetest person. I really don't know what I would have done without her. She made my wedding awesome and having her there meant I could enjoy it without a care in the world. What more could you ask for?

ever had solely because I had utmost faith in her and trusted her to make decisions while I was too busy on the dance floor. Ladies, I get it. We think we've got it covered. But as you get closer to the big day, you will want to sit back and actually enjoy all the fruits of your labor. I did not want to think about anything wedding related the week of except hanging out and spending time with all the people that took time out of their lives to celebrate mine. That's really when Leah's vision and attention to detail will be invaluable. When you're sipping champagne with your friends, just as it should be :)

non-traditional ceremony and she took all of them to the next level. When analysis paralysis set in, or we chased ideas down crazy rabbit trails, she guided us through and brought us back to focus with grace and a big smile. On the big day, we just went to our wedding and didn’t think about a thing.

e she would respond right away. On the day of the wedding she was there coordinating all the big moments behind the scene (special dances, speeches, tipping the vendors). On top of it all she is a wonderful person! We really enjoyed having her there and spending time with us throughout the whole process. I have no doubt that without Leah our wedding day would not have gone as smooth. I would recommend her as a planner in a heartbeat.

e had our ceremony at the Museum of the Moving Image in Queens, and there were several DIY moving parts (from the music, to videos, to the arrangement of film-centric favors and design elements throughout the venue). Even though we put a lot on Leah's plate, she never complained. And she never tried to steer us in a direction that we didn't want to go in, executing our game plan better than we could have ever dreamed. We were wary of taking on a planner, because we had a very distinct vision for our wedding that we didn't want to deviate too far from, but Leah wound up being the perfect fit. In ways both large and small, she kicked up our event by several notches. We can't praise her enough. We adore her and the work she did for us. And you will too -- hire her!

, a plethora of vendors, and things outside of our control and she handled everything like a true professional and managed to still give us the closest to our dream wedding we could hope for! When we were sitting at the reception, looking out - and even before that - when I walked in to our venue and saw the gorgeous way she paid attention to the set up of the entry table - exactly to my specifications - I was thrilled we had chosen her. She was flexible and steady and I seriously will never be able to thank her and her team enough.

am quite detail-oriented and crazy, and I attribute that totally to Leah. I had sort of prepared myself for something to be messed up on the actual day, but everything was totalllllly perfect. I was beyond pleased. I found out later about all the things that she did behind the scenes, but I had no idea the day-of, which is exactly how it should be!! My only regret was not hiring her earlier in the planning process

d a month-of coordinator, but only someone to take final logistics (and anxieties!) off of my back; I didn't love the idea of having a coordinator, for budget reasons and also because I consider myself no-frills, capable, and don't buy into the whole wedding industrial complex. But I am SO THANKFUL and glad we hired Leah. It was worth every penny plus some. She had no presumptions about what our needs would be but left no stone uncovered: her lists were incredible, and we wittled them down and added to them. When there was a glitch with our caterer, she assured me it would be fine, which allowed me to let it go, and indeed it was. No words can express my gratitude for people who are good at their jobs - and Leah is the best.

ly put me at ease with her professionalism, cool confidence and calm demeanor. I was initially unsure whether hiring a wedding planner was necessary - in retrospect I would have been crazy not to. I cannot overstate the value of having had Leah there on the day to field inevitable last minute issues (eg: one of the groomsmen arrived without a tie - Leah promptly arranged a tie for him. The groom's brother almost chickened out from giving his toast - thankfully, unbeknownst to me at the time - Leah calmly told him he had 10 minutes to decide and he went on as planned). I heard from multiple people in the wedding party, including my parents, how professional and on top of everything Leah was the entire night. Not to mention all of Leah's fabulous follow-up the month prior: ensuring the timeline was exactly as I wanted it (foreseeing details that I never would have thought to consider), giving advice on timing, floorplan, and contacting all of my vendors to make sure everything would flow according to schedule on the day. Last but not least, Leah is just enjoyable to work with. She always has a smile on and really embodies her company's namesake (my bridesmaids loved that they could easily spot her throughout the evening by her bright pink flats!!) Leah's company feels very much up-and-coming on the NY wedding planning scene and I just feel lucky I got to work with her early on. Also, I felt the value was excellent for the quality of services offered. Don't think twice to hire her if you're looking for an excellent day-of planner!

one example: We thought we could plan our wedding on our own, but realized very quickly that we were in over our heads already with the venue search. I emailed Leah in a panic, and she swooped in and (a) reassured me that there was a venue out there for me & made me feel less crazy, and (b) within an hour offered up 15+ ideas for venues that I would NEVER have thought of & that totally fit our vibe. In that situation and all others, I always felt 100% confident that she respected our budget and supported our desires, and would do everything possible to make what we wanted happen. In short, Leah is just the best -- every vendor we met said something along the lines of "We LOVE working with Leah!!!" -- and when other vendors say that, you know it's true, because they see everything ;) . I will recommend her in a heartbeat to every friend who gets engaged!
