It was an absolute pleasure to work with Rachel, Paige, Jamie, Hanna and the entire Confetti & Co. team. We were lucky enough to spend ~1.5 years planning together, which I’ll cut ...
to the chase and say it was absolutely epic!
From our first consultation call, we knew Confetti & Co. was right for us - we didn’t even bother talking with anyone else. Having a destination wedding, we knew we needed someone on the ground who could help to guide us from start to finish, and Rachel was a true partner every step of the way. Through venue decisions, vendor selections and everything in between, the team provided us with amazing options and I can say our vendors were all top notch!
We approached Rachel with some out of the box ideas regarding our ceremony, she leaned in, brainstormed, and absolutely delivered. On all decisions, she talked us through pros, cons and everything in between with no stress or judgement, and produced an incredible event that was exactly in line with our vision. If you’re looking for a team that’s honest, knowledgeable, detail-oriented, and hilarious, Confetti & Co. is for you!
Our wedding weekend was flawless - no stress! We were able to actually enjoy ourselves due to a thoughtful timeline, excellent planning, and trustworthy vendors. So many people, friends and family alike, have told us it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to. Couldn’t recommend Confetti & Co. enough, and look forward to seeing Rachel again next time we’re in New Orleans!

If we could give Confetti & Co. Events more than 5 stars, we absolutely would. Rachel and Paige (wives, owners, and all-around magic makers) were phenomenal from start to finish. E...
very meeting, every idea, every "Is this too much?" moment was met with so much care, creativity, and calm. Truly deserving of all five stars in their own right.
But if we *could* give ten stars… they would go straight to Maddy.
Maddy carried us through every phase and walked us gracefully across the finish line. She really got us and our personalities, our vibe, our vision (even our families!) She made sure not a single detail slipped through the cracks. As two very Type-B brides, we needed her gentle nudges, her eye for detail, her connections, her grounding energy, and her all-around good vibes more than we even realized. She anticipated our needs before we had the language for them.
Our wedding day was seamless, joyful, and so much fun because of her. I’m actually trying to figure out what else she can plan for us now that the wedding is over, because letting her go feels… disorienting, honestly. 😂
Confetti & Co. is the real deal. If you’re thinking about hiring them — do it. Your future selves will thank you.

We knew Confetti & Co. would be incredible partners for our wedding process from the first conversation we had with them, but we can’t emphasize enough how organized, diligent, and...
friendly Paige and her team were. We spoke to a few different teams before selecting Confetti, and we were immediately impressed by how far in advance of our wedding that her team planned to engage with our event planning. We consider ourselves very organized, but they asked us fantastic questions that we wouldn’t have otherwise anticipated, which was the main reason we ended up going with them.
In particular, we want to highlight Hanna, who in the months leading up to our wedding held us accountable for decision-making with all of our vendors, and who took over all proactive vendor communication from us. She assisted us with last-minute rain contingency planing (which ended up working out perfectly, even with a last-minute change of our reception location), and pushed several of our stubborn/difficult-to-reach vendors to get us the information we needed. This proved to be simpler than expected, because Confetti has close relationships with seemingly everyone in New Orleans.
From managing our venue/caterer to multiple live bands and a drag queen (our wedding had a lot going on!), Confetti/Hanna did an incredible job keeping every ball in the air, without missing a single detail. We had high hopes for our wedding — I think a lot of people do — but somehow our expectations were still far exceeded, and truly a huge amount of this is a testament to Confetti. Would highly, highly recommend booking them — even if you think you don’t need a day-of coordinator, I promise you that you do, and if you’re getting married in New Orleans, Confetti & Co. is the team to work with.

There are only two people you absolutely need in order to have a successful wedding: one is your fiancée, and the other is a Planner from Confetti and Co Events. This team has the ...
best wedding planners that you can get, period. Not just in New Orleans, not just in the continental US; they are the best you can find. Full stop.
Booking Confetti and Co’s Full Service Planning Package is the most important step you can take in your wedding planning journey. Book them as early as you can.
We had the privilege of working with Rachel and the Confetti team for over two years, and they were nothing short of exceptional. Their professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail are unmatched. We truly could not have planned our destination wedding without them.
Paige supported us from the beginning. She took us all around the city to tour venues (and get po’ boys), and she even designed our dance floor and bar, creating beautiful custom pieces that perfectly captured our theme. Rachel, Hanna, and Maddy were our fiercest advocates, managing vendor communication, contracts, and negotiations with care and confidence. Their insider knowledge of the local vendor scene was invaluable. They knew exactly who to hire for the vibe we wanted (and who to avoid).
Rachel and her team ran the show and managed every technical and logistical element flawlessly. Because the team handled all the behind-the-scenes work, we were free to focus on the fun, creative aspects of planning. There were so many details we wouldn’t have even known to consider. We’re so glad that Confetti and Co thought of everything.
They even had a flawless rain contingency plan, so when the forecasts predicted the weather shifting, we didn’t have to stress for a second. Our guests raved that it was the most well-organized, beautifully detailed wedding they’d ever attended.
And we haven’t even mentioned the best part: we actually got to enjoy our wedding day. Rachel, Jamie, and Paige executed our vision perfectly. We walked into our ceremony and reception and everything that we planned for and imagined was there. The music, the florals, the signage, decor, food, everything was placed and staged better than how we wanted, and we didn’t have to lift a finger. We showed up, and Rachel welcomed us with a glass of champagne. The amount of gratitude we felt in that moment was immeasurable.
Our family and friends got to enjoy the day too; all of us got to fully experience the celebration without worrying about logistics or responsibilities. When couples plan everything themselves, it’s often on them and the wedding party or family to carry the load and put out fires. But because we had Confetti and Co on site, none of that happened. They handled every detail quietly and gracefully, solving problems before we even knew they existed.
We’ve watched friends stressfully go through wedding planning without a planner, and by the time their day arrived, they just wanted it to be over. But because of Confetti and Co, our journey was joyful, and our wedding day was the best day of our lives.
After two years of working together, they feel like family. Rachel and Paige even graciously worked on their wedding anniversary, that we now share!
If you’re engaged and reading this: Congratulations! 1. You’re getting married!, and 2. You just found the best wedding planners on the planet. There are lots of difficult decisions to make during the wedding planning process. This isn’t one of them.

I can’t say enough good things about Confetti & Co. Events! They were amazing at helping us find the right vendors, and you could tell right away that they have a ton of experience...
working with different venues and vendors all over New Orleans. Every recommendation they gave us felt like a perfect fit.
On the day of the wedding, they were completely on top of everything. I didn’t even have to think about the little details—they just handled it. Their no-nonsense, calm approach made the day feel easy and fun, which is exactly what we hoped for.

We had the pleasure of working with the Confetti & Co team for our wedding planning, and we couldn't have been happier with their service.
Rachel was incredibly honest and approa...
chable, offering insightful advice that challenged our initial ideas in helpful ways, allowing us to clarify and refine our vision for the wedding. Her communication style was open and engaging, as she would delve into discussions to explore why we felt a certain way, ensuring our decisions were truly reflective of our desires. Her candid communication was invaluable; she voiced her opinions without hesitation, enabling us to make informed decisions that aligned perfectly with what we wanted.
In the early stages, our meetings focused on key aspects of the wedding, with the Confetti & Co team presenting us with multiple options, complete with quotes and pertinent information, to aid in our decision-making. Their expertise, particularly in recommending vendors and guiding us through our choices, was critical, especially since we were not local to New Orleans. Their knowledge of the local market and proactive outreach to vendors provided us with a range of options that fit our vision and budget.
We ended up choosing most of our vendors based on Confetti & Co’s recommendations and were delighted with the results. Their strong relationships with vendors ensured seamless execution on the wedding day, as all vendors were reliable and well-prepared.
We encountered no hiccups, thanks to Rachel and Hanna’s proactive efforts in ensuring everything ran smoothly.
Confetti & Co's hands-on approach in coordinating with vendors allowed us to focus on the creative aspects and decision-making, without the stress of handling contracts or schedules.
Rachel and Hanna excelled in the final stages, managing the timeline on our wedding day with ease, while maintaining a calm atmosphere that we greatly appreciated. The detailed timeline they provided was invaluable for us and our wedding party, ensuring everyone was where they needed to be.
Up to the wedding day, we were navigating potential weather issues, and the team expertly guided us through contingency planning, offering various options and solutions that left us confident in our choices. On the day itself, Rachel and Hanna ensured every venue was perfectly arranged and organized, with meticulous attention to detail.
Overall, we wholeheartedly recommend Confetti & Co for wedding planning. Their active involvement, creative suggestions, and seamless execution made our wedding feel uniquely ours. We are grateful for their dedication in bringing our vision to life so beautifully.

I've written and rewritten this review about 5 times now; I truly cannot seem to find the right words that fully encapsulate how incredible the Confetti & Co Events is. If I could ...
give a million and one stars, I would, and it still would not be enough. Rachel and Hanna were encouraging, knowledgeable, kind, and organized, but beyond that, they are passionate about taking care of their clients, no matter the situation.
Our photographer cancelled the day before our wedding. Yes, you read that right, DAY BEFORE THE WEDDING. We had less than 36 hours to find a replacement. I'm sure anyone could understand the desperation, panic, and heartbreak my (now) husband and I experienced. Rachel and Hanna read the cancellation email before we did and were immediately in contact with us. They assured us they would do everything in their power to help us with the situation.... Y'all, did they deliver! Their relationships with vendors in the city are so strong and full of mutual respect. They found the perfect photographer for our event who was willing to send over a contract, move around his own projects, and join us for the next day, all within three hours. I barely had enough time to panic before the issue was resolved. What was one of the worst things to happen on our wedding weekend ended up being our biggest blessing. It would not have been possible without Rachel, Hanna, and the entire Confetti & Co. Team.
Though not nearly as dramatic or problematic, there was also a last-minute change to our attending DJ. Knowing how important it was for our vendors to be part of the LGBTQAI+ community, Rachel + Hanna guaranteed that the replacement met our request to ensure that our guests would be safe to celebrate to the fullest, without filter.
All of our guests were raving about how smoothly everything went. We were running early rather than late. All guests felt supported during transitional moments (i.e. ceremony to cocktail hour) and informed on the timeline of events. I know for a fact that our event would not have run as smoothly without Confetti & Co. I am so beyond grateful for their expertise, compassion, and joy!
Thank you to Rachel, Hanna, and the entire Confetti & Co. Team for being a safe place for all couples to create the event of their dreams. We are forever and eternally grateful to y’all and hope to cross paths again in the future. I genuinely cannot recommend this amazing company enough. If you are on the fence regarding hiring a day-of-coordinator, don’t be! Things will go wrong; it’s inevitable. When things do go wrong, these are the people you want on your side!
To sum it up… My (now) husband, who once doubted the need for day-of-coordinators, said, “I will say this forever. I am so sorry I argued with you about getting day-of-coordinators because, [expletive], I love those two.”

Our wedding day was absolutely perfect (aside from a few hiccups with our hair and makeup vendors), and it was all thanks to the amazing team at Confetti Co. I initially chose them...
because we wanted a unique, non-traditional New Orleans wedding. As someone who occasionally plans events, I wanted to create a special experience for our out-of-town family and friends. However, many vendors I spoke with kept telling me that what I envisioned wasn’t really feasible and tried to push me toward something different. But from my first call with Confetti Co., I knew I had found the right team. They reassured me that they would prioritize my vision and what mattered most to me. I’m fairly creative and knew exactly what I wanted; I just needed someone to bring it to life — and they did just that! The wedding went perfectly, and even a week later, I’m still receiving texts raving about it. I’d love to call out some of the incredible ladies, but honestly, the entire team was phenomenal.

Elena embodied that value with such care and respect, ensuring our celebration felt authentic and unique to us. Her ability to listen to our ideas and then elevate them beyond what we imagined was nothing short of incredible.
If you’re looking for a team that will make your wedding planning experience fun, easy, and deeply personal, Confetti and Company is the one to call—and Elena is a superstar.

It felt like we had known them all forever and we want to stay connected with them even after the wedding. They did a great job of bringing levity to the day. They calmed our stresses and made us feel so special. The team was bubbly and joyful and had the process down to the smallest details.

Our experience with Confetti & Co as just a day-of planner was perfect and we feel like we got incredible value for it. Anujin and Elena kept us on task with multiple calls ahead o...
f time, making sure we had all of our little details in our many contracts verified, and thinking of a number of details that we needed to ask about and plan for.
We were shocked at how detailed they got on the schedule; many other vendors we talked to said we were some of the most organized people they'd worked with, but we were just thinking of everything because our Confetti planners were asking us about it first.
On the day of the wedding, we ended up having more stuff for them to take and set up than we had initially planned for, but they seamlessly handled it all, set it up perfectly and beautifully, and handled some mishaps and kept the Bride calm along the way.
Anujin and Elena got us dialed in on our ceremony timing, handled some more last minute changes, had all of our stuff ready and packed for us to go home with when it was time to leave. We just felt really taken care of the whole time.
We were really happy with the experience and would recommend Confetti strongly for day of coordination, and expect that they would be just as adept at planning a full wedding,

There were so many little things they did that I would never have thought of that made the experience a dream come true. They advocated for us as their clients every step of they way. The level of detail was truly unbelievable! Also, the planning software you have access to is super helpful. The best money I spent on the wedding was for their services. I was able to relax and enjoy the whole wedding day and night with no worries. I honestly don’t believe you could hire a better company than Confetti & Co NOLA!

This was one of the BEST decision that we ever made because the entire process was so smooth and most importantly, stress free!

Every single detailed was thought out and they made sure that my husband and I enjoyed our wedding without having to worry about the logistics. I can't stress enough about how amazing the team was to ensure our wedding was the most magical day! Although we we encountered rain (a typical weather for September in NOLA), they had everything planned and ready for a rainy day and communicated with all our vendors without us having to lift a single finger. Thankfully, the rain stopped on our day and we were able to proceed with our second line parade.
We definitely have the wedding blues because of how perfect and magical our wedding was thanks to Rachel and her team!! 1000000/10 recommend!!! They are worth the investment!!!

mma. A host of venues, lots of vendors and planners to match. However, no one was meeting my expectations. That's was, until we stumbled upon Confetti & Co!
After conducting the complimentary consultation with Rachel, my then fiancée said "You found her. You found your match!" This was no easy feat as being a planner myself and entrusting someone to plan the most momentous occasion was definitely difficult to say the least. But I knew, Rachel would be the best candidate to ever plan our day!
From each stage of strategizing, creation, and execution, Rachel was attentive to detail and kept the vibe of the vision her focal point! It was such ease for us to literally say "Rachel, whatever you think is best" because we knew that anything imaginable, Rachel was capable of doing and we were RIGHT!
The vendor lists were itemized, the color palettes were assembled, and we were floored to say the least! Everyone we knew mentioned to us that planning a wedding was the most stressful experience! However, it was quite the opposite for us because of Confetti & Co! We were given peace because of Rachel and her team of super heros! They literally made excellent decisions, superior alternatives, and yielded the most perfect results!
Confetti & Co makes it there mission to go above and beyond in creating the best outcome for you. For instance, Hayley & Rachel both received all of my wedding decor items and personally attended to them. They even proceeded in doing separate projects that weren't even apart of a selected package we chose! They did it with love and to ensure that our day was the best! They even helped my husband and I create a special and memorable moment for two of our guest by hyping up the crowd and signing Happy Birthday! Truly the best experience and gentle reminder that we made the only decision for our wedding, Rachel and Confetti!
I cannot stress this enough, Confetti & Co is the answer to all event needs! Through their executive action and advisements, we held the best intimate wedding that was filled with such passion and precision! If ever you were unsure about making the easiest decision in choosing Confetti & Co, allow me to make it easier, do it! Choose the best option for a transformative event! They specialize in curating an experience that will truly stand the test of time!

My wife and I got married in April 2024 in New Orleans and our wedding was genuinely the best day of our lives. We would not have changed a single thing about it, and I don't think...
we'd be able to say that if it weren't for hiring Confetti & Co as a day-of coordinator. Initially, we were nervous about outsourcing any aspect of our wedding because we weren't sure about how our marriage would be handled given that we are a queer couple. Rachel and Paige eased our worries immediately during our first meeting. It was obvious they were professionals and genuinely only interested in giving us the wedding we wanted with whatever traditional or nontraditional aspects we were including. Our head planner was Elena, and she was an absolute gem. Our moms still talk about how glad they were to have her around on the day of. Throughout the planning process and our wedding day, she never made us feel like a burden with whatever we needed from her.
One of the main reasons we wanted to hire a coordinator was for a wedding day timeline because we didn't feel like we could predict how long the getting ready process, set up, and pictures would take. That's where Elena came in and absolutely blew our minds. For how seemingly laidback our wedding day was, you would have never known that it was, in fact, planned out down to the minute. In some weddings we have participated in, planners have felt sort of like drill sergeants trying to keep everyone in line. This could not have been further from what we experienced. She sat back quietly, making sure everything went as planned. All of our vendors were on the same page thanks to her prepping which made the day flow seamlessly into the night. At our ceremony and reception, Elena and Paige ensured we had everything we needed, whether that be food, a drink, or water. Midway through our reception, I needed to change my shoes, but my pants were too long so Elena transformed into a seamstress and hemmed my pants for me with safety pins. Truly whatever we needed, they made happen without hesitation. Elena even captured some photos and videos throughout the day of all of our most important moments on her phone, which are some of the only photos we have as we wait for our professional pictures to come back.
I must admit, being from New Orleans and having a smaller wedding, I didn't think that we needed to spend money on a planner and that I could do it all on my own. In the months leading up to the wedding, I realized I was wrong and that so much more goes into the day than what I thought. I ultimately didn't want that stress to fall onto our friends or family on a day where we just wanted everyone to enjoy themselves and celebrate. Hiring Confetti & Co as a day-of coordinator was hands down the best decision we made leading up to our wedding. It is 100% worth it. You can't get that day back, and I am forever grateful they were there to make sure we could all focus on the important things.

My husband and I were planning a reception to celebrate our elopement, and I quickly learned that planning this remotely was so overwhelming! I began to look for help, and knew rig...
ht away I wanted to work with Confetti and Co. Our event was far from traditional, and after my initial call with Paige I knew I could trust her team to take my vision to life. They listened, first and foremost, to what we wanted, and what we didn’t want! Elena was our planner, and my goodness was she a godsend. We had about two months to plan this, and she was so organized and communicative throughout the process. I was never stressed. I was never nervous. She handled everything. Of course we had small hiccups with vendors, but she was so transparent and had a sense of urgency and calmness than instantly put me at ease. The day of was seamless, and without hand holding, she knew exactly what I wanted everything to look like. It was perfect! She kept us on schedule and allowed us to actually have FUN and enjoy the night. We will be planning another celebration in England for our family across the pond, and I already know we want to work with her again. 10/10!

I am so excited to give this MILLION STAR review.
My story with Confetti & Co Events started with my wife and I being completely unsure what a wedding planner actually does, also ...
not sure if the cost was even worth it.
To those of you wondering if you should hire this magical duo? 100%, the answer is YES. My wedding would have been complete and utter chaos had they not been there handling, facilitating, directing, doing. Paige and Rachel allowed my bride and I to actually ENJOY our day, taking everything off of our shoulders.
They helped us not only mentally, emotionally, but took care of every possible detail that I never could have even foreseen. Even down to getting us iced coffees and smoothies!!
Paige and Rachel are PRECIOUS souls and having them by our side on our wedding day was not only meaningful but NEEDED. I cannot say enough good things about Confetti & Co.
I am forever grateful for the roll y’all played. Thank you forever and ever for making our wedding literally the most magical day of our lives.

ig day. Throughout the entire planning process, they were incredibly organized, creative, and always one step ahead.
Their communication skills were excellent, and they were always available to answer any questions or address any concerns we had. They truly listened to our vision and brought it to life in ways we never could have imagined. On the day of the wedding, everything ran smoothly and seamlessly thanks to Rachel, Elena and Paige.
Our wedding was more beautiful and perfect than we ever dreamed it could be, and we have Confetti & Co to thank for that. We are forever grateful for their hard work, expertise, and genuine passion for what they do. If you are looking for a wedding planner who will go above and beyond to make your special day unforgettable, look no further than Confetti & Co.

From our first conversation, Rachel and her team were fantastic to work with. I began this process with a lot of ideas about what I wanted and after speaking with a few other plann...
ers, Rachel was the only one who understood our vision from the start.
Neither my husband and I, nor our guests, live in New Orleans, so we were essentially planning a destination wedding. Rachel guided us over the months leading up to our event, making sure that each piece of the puzzle fit well, from a local perspective. She referred us to other vendors that we were thrilled with, even saving us money over other vendor quotes we'd received. Going into our wedding week, my husband and I felt calm and confident, and instead of stressing, we were able to look forward to the celebrations.
The day of our wedding was seamless. From the ceremony to cocktail hour to reception to second line, everything was handled perfectly. All we had to do was show up and say our vows!
Thanks to all the hard work Rachel and her team put in, we didn't have to worry about a thing, and so we were able to truly enjoy our celebration, connect with all of our guests, and even have a few special moments just the two of us. Since the wedding, we've had multiple guests -- including some of my very picky family -- comment about how well-organized the day was and many said it was the best they've ever been to!
We highly recommend hiring this team -- they made our day the best it could be.

Where do I even begin?! Rachel + Paige were exactly what we needed in a planner. I'm typically 100% a 'pushover' and do whatever is easiest on everyone else, even if it's not what ...
I really want. Rachel would have NO part in that--she made sure things were exactly how I wanted them and constantly reminded me that it was OUR day! Anytime we had an issue with a vendor she advocated for us + got it resolved. I truly have no idea what we would've done without them on our wedding day--all of the *things* simply wouldn't have gotten done. Rachel constantly made sure I had everything I needed all while making sure the set up was going perfectly. Paige was a lifesaver, also! I think my veil weighed 20 pounds and she somehow got it to stay in. She even held the weight of it from the moment it went in until I walked down the aisle! They gathered us a plate of food during our cocktail hour to make sure that we ate, Paige carried my makeup around all night so that I had it anytime I needed, and Rachel caught a 'wedding crasher' at the door and had them out before anyone even knew. I can't possibly list alllll of the things they did for us, but our day would NOT have been what it was without them! They were the absolute best wedding investment I made.

Rachel and Paige were the best addition to our wedding day. They bent over backwards and had every backup plan in the book up their sleeves. The weather moved our ceremony indoors ...
then back outdoors multiple times. I swear Paige was drenched, in the pouring rain, holding tarps down outside so I could have the outdoor wedding that I had imagined. They communicated efficiently and calmly with us throughout the day. Rachel’s email communication beforehand was professional, quick and she tied up every loose end that I didn’t know was loose. Rachel also had the sweetest reaction to first seeing me in my dress and I truly loved having her there to hype me up. They were thoughtful, fun and easy to work with. Thanks a million (Hattie’s a lucky one)!

My husband and I used Confetti & Co. as our planners for month of coordination. We could not be more pleased with the services provided by Rachel, Paige, and their team!! They are ...
organized, very communicative, part of the LGBTQIA+ family, and all around great people to work with.
One month out from our wedding date they contacted us for our first planning session. We discussed every little detail, and we were able to give them all of our vendors’ information/contracts and go over our GRAND vision for our wedding. From there they took over communication with our vendors (you have no idea how helpful this is; especially in that month leading up to the big day) and provided us with the most detailed timeline I have ever seen!! We had multiple check ins to make sure that we were on the same page, and would update the timeline if needed. We worked full time during the whole process and had a pretty serious family emergency, and they were able to alleviate copious amounts of stress and anxiety that come along with the whole process of getting married. Seriously don’t know what we would have done without them!
Look no further for a wedding planning company…This is the company you want to work with! They are sooooo passionate about what they do and it just exudes through their personality and the vibes they give off. These ladies DO NOT put up with any bull and thoroughly get the job done. Confetti & Co. want to make sure that their clients have the best possible day ever. They did everything in their power to achieve our vision and we are eternally grateful for their hard work! LOVE THEM!!!!

Planning a wedding on top of life, working full time, and having little to no experience with the wedding industry, drove our desire to look for a planner to help us decrease stre...
ss. Being a queer bi-racial couple, it was crucial for us to work with vendors who stand for equity and we are beyond grateful to have found Confetti & Co. From the very first conversation, Rachel and her wife, Paige, brought excitement to the process, listened to our vision and needs, and provided us with tailored service packages to choose from. From those packages, we then decided to go with the 6 week package. However, as planning continued, my (now) wife and I realized that we needed additional support sooner. As soon as we suggested this to Rachel, she immediately scheduled a call with us and by the end of the call we had decided to begin working together sooner. This decision was one of the best decisions we could have made at the time. We began to meet at least weekly, we discussed every detail of the wedding, they were able to ease our stress and truly helped us have the most incredible night of our lives. Rachel's help went beyond any of our expectations: She came with me to my final fitting so someone would know how to bustle my dress (my family and MOH lives out of state), she created the most incredible detailed wedding timeline I've ever seen, she was readily available for any problem solving "emergency", and Paige and her make a fierce team on wedding day. When we say that we didn't worry about one timeline, one decoration, or one detail on wedding day, we are not lying. They were professional, they were confident in their abilities, and they proved to us that we hired the perfect company to plan our dream day. Without them, I don't even want to think about the kind of wedding day we would have had. The only regret we have is not woking with them from the very start and hiring them for full service planning. I am a very organized, type A person and even then, I could have benefited from Rachel and Paige's support and expertise the entire time. Therefore, not only do we completely recommend working with Confetti & Co, we recommend working with them from the very start- you will not be disappointed.

We had an out of state wedding and Rachel and it was as if Rachel was from there. All vendors were taken care of, she stayed in contact with everyone, everything was super organized, and honestly I had to even check to see if she needed anything on my end bc everything was seamless.
Our wedding day was PERFECT. All I had to do was wake up and drink, snack, and enjoy the best day of my life. Her timeline was so detailed and organized that all vendors knew what to do and everything was super smooth.
We were at the reception and she and her team made sure we were getting drinks and dancing our butts off. Cake cutting, sparkler exit, EVERYTHING was just amazing and not one single ounce of stress was needed on our part.
We will relive this day over and over again for the rest of our lives. Thank you Confetti & Co. for being an amazing part of our day and making sure we had the BEST day and time of our lives! If I could hire them again and again, I would, but I don’t plan on having another wedding, so I’ll just be recommending them forever to anyone that is looking for a planner. You will NOT regret it!!

I was provided detailed timelines and spreadsheets that came in handy, big time! Through an endless sea of vendors, Rachel found me ones that fit my style and budget. They stayed on top of all the vendors throughout the whole process and on the big day, having to NOT worry about ANYTHING, was the greatest gift. I had lots of extras that I needed displayed on the wedding day and they expertly styled everything to the T. We had a hiccup with my cannoli tower and Paige fixed it - I would have never even known that something had happened. I just can’t express the love and appreciation I have for Confetti and Co! If you think you don’t need a wedding planner, you DO. If you’ve read this far, BOOK THEM NOW!

We met one on one various times up until the day of the proposal to make sure my vision came to life. Her team made the day of the proposal stress free, and her and her team took care of everything from the decor to outsourcing the catering, and table/chair rentals. As well, she was able to book a photographer to capture our memory so that we can now have it to remember forever! We had the most beautiful ballon arch and helped me pop the question with “MARRY ME?” balloons and had the perfect music playing on speakers when my fiancé walked in. She helped bring my vision to life and for that I will always be thankful! We cannot wait to plan our future wedding with her company, and like mentioned before would recommend it to anyone needing help to make a memory last forever! You will not regret going with Confetti and Co. to plan any event.
