Hiring Finn Events and getting to work with Mary as our coordinator was the single best decision we made for our wedding. I am a type-A gal with a vision, so the support I needed m...
ainly focused around day- of vendor coordination.
I ended up going with their mid-tier package, which allowed for a few planning meetings and for me to be hands off a month prior to the big day. I was also provided me with vendor recommendations- I ended up finding my photographer and florals through Mary's reccs.
Once we got to the month out timeframe, I was drowning in tiny details and needed help. Mary came in, and seemingly with a wave of a magic wand, squared away all the tiny details that were making my brain explode. Table card holders, vases for turning bouquets into centerpieces. All these tiny things I didn't have the bandwidth to address (especially as I am located on the East coast and couldn't plan from Seattle).
And then when the actual wedding week came, Mary bobbed and weaved through the chaos. I initially went with a beauty artist (not recommended by her) who was unreliable to the point we had to let them go five days prior. Mary led this difficult conversation and helped me find a new hair stylist and makeup artist within the day. And they ended up bringing such light and energy to the day along with their beautiful work (Kirstin Jolly for hair and Elizabeth Dolan for makeup). The vendors Mary recommended that I went with (A Fistfull of Bolts for photography and Lillers Co. for florals) were also pitch perfect.
And on top of all this, Mary helped us navigate difficult family dynamics and advocated for us to take time and space for ourselves. Iconically, she announced during our wedding rehearsal to text her with any issues during the day-of and to leave us alone. Some part of me healed, in that moment.
And top of that!!! Mary is kind and communicative and wonderful to be around. Finn Events is the best first choice you can make for your day.
From our very first meeting, we knew Mary matched our energy and understood exactly the vision we had for our wedding. That instinct turned out to be spot on.
She took control fro...
m day one, coordinating with every vendor, keeping everyone accountable, and making sure nothing fell through the cracks. Her ability to think outside the box meant that when small hiccups came up, she had creative solutions ready before we even knew there was a problem. Her time management was incredible; the entire day ran without a single hitch.
Throughout the whole process, she always made us feel like she was on our team, going to bat for us whenever it mattered. What stood out most was her can-do attitude. No request felt too big or too small, and she handled everything with confidence and warmth. Because she had every detail covered, we didn't have to worry about a thing. We got to just be present and actually enjoy our own wedding day.
We can't recommend her highly enough. Thanks Mary!
We worked with Mary though Finn Events and we truly cannot speak highly enough about her! We had to make an emergency venue change 5 days before our wedding, and Mary truly went ab...
ove and beyond anything we expected. She was so calm, supportive, and communicative during a difficult situation, and pulled off a breathtaking wedding while minimizing our stress. She listened to our priorities, and her work allowed us to relax and just take in all the special moments. In particular, we were also very impressed with her people management – both with our friends/family and our vendors. Mary was fantastic in helping make sure all our guests were taken care and in the right place/right time while keeping all of our vendors coordinated with the last minute changes in our venue. There is no one else we would have wanted on our side, especially in what became a chaotic last-minute situation!!!
She additionally has such a great eye for design, and helped us come up with an amazing creative vision for our wedding. We didn’t have a clear idea of what we wanted our wedding to look like, and Mary put together décor and table settings that were gorgeous and perfectly fit the vibes we were hoping for. Mary is a magic worker, and we wholeheartedly recommend her for any event.
We had the pleasure of working with Mary of Finn Events as our day-of-coordinator and she went above and beyond to help us execute the most amazing day ever. From even the pre-plan...
ing stages, she was on hand to help answer any questions we had and lended such great insight into the wedding planning industry of things to look out for as we moved along in the process. She connected our vendors with our wedding day schedule and made sure everyone had her as the point of contact throughout the day. We so appreciated the moxie she leads with to get things done and to find a way to make it happen instead of waiting around to see the aftermath. As a type A bride and micromanager of every tiny detail, she made it so easy to give up control because we had the utmost confidence in her to carry out our wedding day. I think the best compliment we got from our guests over and over again, was that the day felt so seamless, that the flow was great, and it was so enjoyable to be at our wedding because it felt like each step was intentional and flawlessly executed. With the multitude of wedding vendors out there, the easiest and best decision we made was going with Mary and Finn Events for their grace and professionalism to navigate the wedding planning process that can otherwise feel daunting. We hope you have the great pleasure of working with them too!
If I could give Finn more than five stars, I would! We truly could not have pulled off our wedding without her. From the very beginning, her organization, attention to detail, and ...
calm, reassuring presence made the entire planning process so much less stressful.
On our wedding day, Finn handled every detail seamlessly, allowing us to be completely present and enjoy every moment with our family and friends. She thought of things we never would have, kept everything running smoothly, and made us feel like we were in the best possible hands.
Most importantly, she made our wedding day even better than our wildest dreams. Everything came together so beautifully, and so much of that was because of her hard work, dedication, and genuine care. We are beyond grateful for everything Finn did for us and would recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding planner. She is truly exceptional!
Mary Gerrity from Finn Events stepped in during the last month to assist our planner with last-minute prep and day-of-coordination and WOW WERE WE BLOWN AWAY! Mary is THE cream of ...
the crop, top of the line, look no further, real deal wedding professional you've been looking for and will help to make every dream you had for your big day come true. Seriously, she is THAT good. Every problem big or small? Solved. Timeline adjustments? No problem. Last-minute midnight text? Answered. She made our wedding so magical and we can't thank her enough!!
Hiring Finn was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. If you're wondering whether a planner/coordinator is worth it, the answer is yes. Having Finn meant we, our famil...
y, and our wedding party could truly enjoy the day instead of answering questions or worrying about logistics.
As someone who plans events professionally, I know how much coordination goes into pulling off a successful event—and weddings are in a league of their own. From our first conversation, it was clear that Finn was experienced, organized, and confident. She immediately put us at ease.
Although we hired Finn as a day-of coordinator, she provided so much more than day-of support. Throughout the planning process, she answered countless questions, communicated with vendors, created our timeline, reviewed the venue's plans to catch details and potential issues, offered thoughtful recommendations, and truly served as our advocate every step of the way. She also has a helpful collection of planning resources, vendor recommendations, officiant guidance, and rental items. She even offered to pick up our wedding cakes for us!
Finn ran our rehearsal and wedding day seamlessly. She made sure everyone was prepared, everything stayed on schedule, and every behind-the-scenes detail was handled without us needing to think about it. She also helped my brother prepare to officiate his first wedding, taking the time to walk him through everything beforehand so he felt comfortable.
What impressed me most was her demeanor. Weddings are fast-paced and unpredictable, and Finn remained calm, kind, cheerful, and collected throughout the day. She treated us, our family, wedding party, and guests with genuine warmth and professionalism. Several guests even commented on how wonderful she was. That's a rare quality and one that made such a difference in the overall experience. I've been to weddings where vendors are visibly stressed and short with guests, and you don't need to worry about that with Finn.
Our wedding day went so smoothly because of Finn, and we were able to be fully present and enjoy every moment. I truly can't recommend her enough -- she is exactly the person you want in your corner on one of the biggest days of your life.
Finn and her team were outstanding. She knows what she's doing and is calm and competent at all times. I was most impressed with the way she works with vendors. They all love her a...
nd that speaks volumes. Ours was a more formal wedding with multiple events and it all came off without a single problem - or at least none of which we were aware.
Working with Mary was a dream! She was very communicative and did a great job coordinating vendors and making sure the day ran smooth. My wedding day was perfect and I have her to ...
thank for that.
100% recommend Finn Events for any event planning needs. Finn McWilliam was truly a blessing and absolutely pivotal to the success of my wedding day. She served as my day-of-coordi...
nator at the Fremont Foundry in the summer of 2025, stepping in just six weeks before the wedding when my venue’s in‑house coordinator fell through. At a time when I was supremely stressed, Finn saved the day.
From the first email and in person encounter, she was professional, personable, organized, and a joy to work with. I was behind on planning and hadn’t yet booked hair and makeup. After sharing my overall style, Finn immediately reached out to her network and connected me with an incredible artist within an hour. She makes things happen.
Her event software was invaluable for visualizing layout and details of the day. Her experience was evident, expertly adjusting timelines, refining floor plans, and problem solving both the big and small to make the day feel seamless.
Finn is a true logistics mastermind. Combine that with her playful personality and vibrant energy, and you have the ideal wedding planner. I am forever grateful to Finn and her amazing team at Finn Events. My spouse and I call her our Finny Godmother for good reason.
We had the pleasure of working with Mary and I am so thankful! Her communication and organization skills are top tier and such a relief for me. I can't thank her enough for bringin...

anning not only easy, but actually fun. She helped us create a vision that felt so true to who we are, and brought it to life in ways that were even better than we could have imagined. Our wedding day was full of love, joy, and heart and we know that Finn’s expertise and care made it all possible. We’ll genuinely miss working with her! Could not recommend Finn more highly to anyone planning their wedding.
We hired Finn about two months before our wedding, and she completely transformed our planning experience. From the moment she joined, she made everything feel effortless and under...
control. Her organization and attention to detail were outstanding—she anticipated needs we hadn’t even thought of and kept every moving part on track.
Beyond her professionalism, she was incredibly friendly, warm, and a joy to work with. She always made us feel at ease and genuinely cared about making our day perfect. Thanks to her guidance and hands-on support, our wedding day was seamless and stress-free—we were able to simply enjoy every moment.
If you’re looking for a wedding planner or day-of coordinator who is both exceptionally skilled and an absolute pleasure to work with, we cannot recommend Finn highly enough. She was truly the best decision we made in the planning process.

d the scenes leading up to and during our wedding. Mary wrangled all of our vendors on our behalf, and we knew she had our back to tweak and confirm details to ensure a smooth wedding day. We had full trust in Mary and would recommend her to any of our friends!

al – she knew all the right questions to ask us and the venue, including things we didn’t know we needed to ask. The schedule, decorations, etc came together seamlessly and she made it incredibly easy for us to enjoy the wedding. She also is a joy to work with and makes you feel so heard and taken care of. Even if your venue has their own coordinators, we strongly recommend hiring Finn events, they will absolutely be worth it.
We were delighted to hire Mary as our partial wedding planner. She was knowledgeable about the Seattle wedding industry and made wonderful vendor recommendations, assisted with con...
tract reviews, and advised on pricing from said vendors. In the planning process, Mary kept us on-track with our to-do list and took ample time to answer our many many questions. Mary was thorough and thoughtful throughout the entire experience.
A few days before the wedding, our venue surprised us with a hidden fee. Before we could even respond, Mary had called the venue's leadership team directly and had the fee waived. It was absolutely badass client service!!!
On our wedding day, she made it the most seamless experience I could have imagined. From vendor management, to decorating, and takedown. It was like a magical fairy came and organized it all so we could simply enjoy and have the best day ever! She has a warm personality that makes you feel even more excited about the process of planning and executing. Topped with her attention to detail, I couldn't have asked for a better planner.
Thank you Mary for the incredible work!!!!!
Finn was absolutely incredible! I cannot say enough great things about her. She was extraordinarily professional, responded quickly to all my questions, and helped me feel calm th...
roughout the whole process. She knew ALL the best vendors and helped with everything from the lighting, to finding the right florist, to finding the perfect gelato cart. She was also absolutely indispensable on our wedding day! I didn't have to worry about a thing and everything came together perfectly. I didn't know that a coordinator would be so important, but Finn made the day! If you are looking for someone, this is the person you want to have in your corner.

e did a wonderful job making us feel prepared for our special day. On the wedding day, everything went better than we could have ever imagined. We cannot recommend Finn Events enough. The most important wedding vendor is your Day of Coordinator and you want to have someone you trust to ensure your wedding day is perfect. We love Finn!

the wedding planning process and Finn was the best decision we made. She handled every detail, was creative in her ideas, patient in listening to our questions, and pleasant to work with. She designed our florals and we were blown away with how well everything turned out! She took our vision and made it happen. I am so glad we were able to have Finn's help and organization. She made the whole day perfect and we are so grateful.
Finn is amazing! We hired her as our day-of coordinator and couldn't recommend her more. From day one she provided us with help, answering our questions, and handling contact with ...

a very complex, rustic, multi-day, DIY wedding, and Finn was with us every step of the way - including doing our floral arrangements. Our wedding was all that we envisioned and more, and we left the weekend overjoyed. We couldn't have done it without her.
Finn truly planned and executed the wedding of my husband and I’s dreams and we could not be more grateful for her. My husband and I live across the state from where our wedding to...
ok place and planning a wedding in another city was very daunting and we had no idea where to start.
Finn was the first wedding planner that we met with, and after our meeting we knew that we did not need to look any further. She was so kind, detail oriented, walked us through everything while also really trying to get to know us/get an idea of what we wanted. After our first consultation she sent us a very detailed proposal and we were sold!
Throughout the entire planning process she was very communicative and asked the important questions. She provuided amazing recommendations for catering, hair and makeup, even our doggy handler! Fast forward to the wedding day- I can’t say enough about Finn and her team and the amazing vision they helped bring to life. The wedding went seamlessly, without a hitch. If there was a hitch, Finn got to it and solved it immediately. My husband and I received SO many compliments from guests about Finn and Mary, and how the event had run so smoothly. We could not have dreamed of a better wedding planner and we will be forever grateful to her and Mary. I HIGHLY recommend that you hire Finn and her team for any event that you are planning, you will not be disappointed!
We hired Finn as our day-of coordinator. We met a few times before the wedding to talk over the timeline and to pass on all our vendor contacts. On our wedding day, everything was ...
a breeze! We got married in the same venue where we had our reception, and Finn was three steps ahead of everything at all time. My wedding party decided to change their order as they were walking down the aisle? Finn was on it! The cake was late and one of the dessert station label cards was missing? Finn was on it! To be honest, I hardly saw her which I think is a HUGE compliment because it meant that my husband and I were truly able to enjoy the party as the guests of honor. Lastly, even my other vendors kept telling me how great she was and asked for her contact afterwards. :)

ple, but also the love and joy of the Finn Events team. They were professional, kind, and extremely talented. We look forward to our next event with them!
Finn is such an amazing wedding planner that my husband and I are seriously so sad that we will not be having another wedding next year for her to plan!
Not only is Finn organized...
, professional, and kind, but she's very good at working with a vision (even if it's a murky one and you're not sure what you want). Finn always is there to pump you up if you are uncertain and she will always respond in a responsible amount of time.
Throughout the WHOLE wedding process I felt like Finn was not only on top of her work, but respected in the community by other vendors.
One of my favorite things about Finn is that she has so many great connections within the wedding industry that she would suggest three vendors that align with the overall vibe of the wedding to me and I would pick accordingly. She had back ups if none of those worked, but it took a LOT of searching off of my list and I had so much more free time.
I was not stressed at all throughout the process. A week after our wedding, my cousin got engaged and I immediately got her in contact with Finn. That's how amazing she is. Don't search any further—she's your girl.
We are beyond grateful for Finni's exceptional work as our wedding planner. Her personable, kind, and genuine nature put us at ease throughout the planning process. From the initia...
l planning stages to the flawless execution on our special day, Finni demonstrated incredible professionalism and attention to detail. Our wedding was a dream come true, thanks to her expertise in organizing every aspect seamlessly. Her dedication and creativity made our day truly magical. We highly recommend Finni to anyone seeking a wedding planner who goes above and beyond to make your vision a reality. Thank you, Finni, for making our day unforgettable!
If I could give Finn more than 5 stars, I would in a heartbeat! She was so amazing to work with and made our entire planning + wedding process smooth and easy. Finn went above and ...
beyond the normal "day of coordinator duties" and was there for us the entire time leading up to our big day, providing guidance and advice and answering any and all questions that came up while we were planning. Our wedding day went perfectly to plan and that was in large part due to Finn's hard work in keeping everyone on schedule. I was so grateful that I could just relax and enjoy our big day, knowing we had Finn by our side to handle all the details. Finn is also just an all around amazing person and so lovely to work with. Do yourself a favor and book with her, you will not regret it!
Finni is simply amazing. She helped me plan an all outdoor wedding in Seattle and it was perfect! We had multiple unique vendors she had to coordinate with. She was professional bu...
t also down to earth since our first meeting. I would say I wa a chill bride until the day before my wedding the forecast went from 85 and sunny to rain all day. 5 days before I made the decision to switch the tent for standing umbrellas- I was panicking. She handle it with such grace, allowed me to freak out a bit but calmed me down and promised me she would handle it - and that’s exactly what she did. She kept my informed and had plan bs which was so helpful on such a stressful day! She also did my florals and they were absolutely perfect!!! (And budget friendly). I cried when i showed up to the venue because it was more perfect than i had imagine. I’m not lying when I say I had the best wedding day I could ask for. Hire her you will not be disappointed! She also loves
Dogs and were obsessed with ours who was center of attention at our wedding. 10/10!
We met with at least 5 day-of coordinators and we knew Finni was special after our first call. We chose the day of coordinator package and truly appreciated extensive communication...
leading up to the wedding. Finni did an incredible job of keeping us calm during the stressful planning process. With just a few calls and one venue walkthrough, she was able to understand our vision and help us navigate the logistics and coordinate with our vendors to make it a reality. She was very organized and helped us think through all the small, but important details like the venue layout, decor setup, and detailed event timeline. During the event, she kept us on track with the schedule without causing any stress. She was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Couldn’t have been a better experience! She provided tons of helpful suggestions and fun ideas for ways to engage guests, with her expertise and previous experience. For example, we knew nothing about linen rental sizes for different size tables and she created a spreadsheet for us. She was an invaluable resource during the many months of planning. If we were planning it all over again, we would absolutely choose to work with Finni and would recommend Finni to anyone planning a wedding who wants a friendly, organized, and calming presence!
Finni was the day-of coordinator for our wedding at Captain Whidbey Inn in April 2023. She went above and beyond to acheive our vision and ensured our rehearsal, welcome dinner, an...
d entire wedding day were executed flawlessly.
We wholeheartedly recommend her.
We specifically appreciated Finni’s clear communication before and during the wedding weekend, her attention to detail in preparing our venue, and her ability to collaborate with us, the venue, and our vendors during the wedding weekend.
Communication
-We met with Finni throughout the planning process to discuss our vision and decisions
-She was always responsive to our questions via email—responding within 1-2 days
-Her responses were always thoughtful and detailed, with recommended actions
-She also communicated on our behalf with key vendors—to ensure aligned expectations
-During the wedding weekend, Finni communicated her plan, priorities and location—and was available to us to discuss day-of decisions
Attention to Detail
-Finni’s plan for the weekend was oriented toward the smallest but critical details, including mapping indoor and outdoor electrical outlets on the venue property to be used by vendors
-She was responsible for decorating the dining room for our welcome dinner and wedding night reception— she did an incredible job bringing together florals and other decor with place settings, name cards and menus to create a transformative experience for our guests
-She brought us each our specialty drink as we were about to walk into the reception, so we didn’t walk in empty handed. She even remembered seeing the bride’s sequin jacket earlier in her cabin, and reminded her that she might want to put in on before the photographer left (and then ran and got it for her)
-She assembled all of our cards, slices of cake, leftovers, and polaroid photos in our cabin for us to discover and enjoy at the end of the night
Collaboration
-Finni was so easy and fun to work with—and she made a positive impression on our guests, venue staff, and vendors
-Finni’s services included a site visit to our venue—during which she guided us to ask the right questions
-Finni worked with our officiant to plan and run an effective rehearsal
There is a lot you can’t control when you plan a wedding. And there is a lot to do. But if you hire Finni, those things won’t matter—because she will help you, and she will remember to do the things, and you will have the most amazing wedding.
First things first: I could not have asked for a better wedding planner and guide through this process! Finn’s so incredibly kind, friendly and has an air about her that will put a...
ny bridezilla at ease. Beside the obvious appeal of her amazing personality, Finn is knowledgeable, professional & informative; asking important questions and covering details I never considered or thought to consider! She was always quick to respond and flexible with scheduling (which was super appreciated with my hectic schedule)! On wedding day, Finn made my vision come to life at my venue by completely over delivering during set up and logistics. Like I said, I could not have asked for a better wedding planner. Thanks Finn!!
I cannot begin to recommend Finn Events more. Finn is an experienced event planner with an endless set of ideas, a passion for excellence, and she puts her clients excitement and g...
oals first. She is exceedingly professional while being fun, and has earned the much-deserved respect of her many vendors across the industry.
I hired Finn Events to execute our annual fundraising gala last year and she delivered a stunning event that exceeded expectations, drew a crowd or attendees that was 60% higher than the year prior, raised more funds than anticipated, and set our organization up for what we expect will be an even more fabulous event this year.
Finn is detail-oriented and balances all those critical details with the big picture experience that only years of event execution and a creative mind can pull off.
I doubt I'll ever use a different event planner for any event going forward. If you choose Finn for your event--whether a wedding, a corporate event, or a gala, you will have a wonderful steward of your dream and have people complimenting you for years to come.
Finn was OUTSTANDING! She was recommended to us by another vendor and she exceeded every expectation we had. From our first communication, Finn was prompt in her replies, extremely...
affable, and very informative. Finn helped us tailor a package that fit our needs exactly. She responded to countless emails from us, giving us sound advice and feedback with thoughtfulness and patience. In the final lead up to our wedding, Finn kept us on track with timing reminders in regards to where we should be with our planning. Our rehearsal couldn't have gone smoother. She corralled our wedding party effortlessly and coordinated the day of schedule in conjunction with all our vendors. On the day of the wedding, Finn was our rock, making sure we were staying on schedule but also reminding us that it was our day and if we wanted to spend more time in one space, she would tailor the schedule. We never saw Finn flustered. She exuded calm during the entirety of our journey with her and as a result, calmed us as well! It was truly a joy to work with her and we are proud to now call her our friend. We highly, highly, highly recommend her!
Hiring Finni was the best planning decision we made! We live in New York and the wedding was in Tacoma so we really needed a wedding planner who is knowledgeable, skilled and detai...
l-oriented. With Finni, we got all of the above and more!
We hired Finni for full service wedding planning for our Sangeet, wedding ceremony and reception (a 2 day event), and from day one she showed a real passion for our vision and frequently went above & beyond to ensure our vision could be realized. She was a great combination of creative and practical - allowing us to try different things while also staying on top of timelines & budgets. Our wedding was an Indian/American fusion wedding, and Finni was very culturally sensitive - asking questions, helping us envision the perfect fusion wedding. She was also a joy to work with & actually made the many months of planning pretty fun.
The entire wedding weekend was an absolute dream with Finni handling many of the coordination responsibilities. We’re really lucky to have found Finni and you would be too!
If you had asked me to describe what I was looking for in a wedding planner, Finni went above and beyond all expectations. She had an intimate understanding of the wedding industry...
and stakeholders within Seattle and gave us a comprehensive list of recommendations for all our needs. Each of the vendors we selected were brilliant and already had a great working relationship with Finni. She was with us every step of the way and was an absolute godsend the day of the wedding. She was willing to work with us on strange hours while my spouse and I were out of the country for the entire year for the wedding! Her responsiveness to any and all inquiries we would have throughout the planning phase was incredible, and her ability to incorporate multiple faiths and cultures was extremely helpful.
I'll give one anecdote that highlights how great she was. During our reception, it was becoming clear to Finni that the time we had with our photographer would expire in the middle of the dancing phase of the reception. Finni took proactive steps and spoke with my mother to ask for her permission to pay the photographer for an extra hour. When my mother said yes, she went ahead and paid the photographer up front with her own money for an extra hour to ensure he would capture the dancing. She did all of this without stressing me out and letting me and my spouse enjoy the night in blissful ignorance.
This is who you get when you hire Finni. She is someone who provides comprehensive support, both before, during, and after the big day. Out of all the money we spent on the wedding, Finni was easily the most valuable service we spent on. Thank you again Finni.
My husband and I were originally planning a destination wedding but unfortunately it fell through. We were left scrambling with a tight turnaround time so finding Finni is the best...
thing that could've happened to us. She helped walk us through every step of the planning process including stepping in as emotional support during some family drama. Finni actually took the time to really listen to what was important to us and turned it into reality. Aside from being a miracle worker, she's also just one of the sweetest people you'll meet which was the cherry on top. We can't recommend her enough and it would be a miss not to work with her.
Not only is Finni friendly, professional, and experienced, she is creative and innovative. My now-husband and I liked components of what felt like every idea and photo we came acro...
ss for our wedding. Finni listened to us, heard what we liked and wanted, and helped us find a cohesive vision and plan for our wedding day. She’s extremely organized, supportive and soo easy to work with. She’s also very responsive and her demeanor at all times was reassuring and calming. And ultimately, on our wedding day, neither of us had to worry about a thing for our ceremony and reception. Finni was a leader of our ideas and coordinated with our other vendors flawlessly. We each just got to enjoy our day with our families and with each other without a worry. We highly recommend working with Finni. She really is amazing!!

ettable wedding in under 2 months. Finni was available to take more than a couple of my frantic calls and quickly put my mind at ease. Our California wedding was intimate and had little personal touches throughout. She gave us the idea for a bunch of tiny cakes because we could not decide which flavor was our favorite, which was a huge success. I would not think twice to have Finni plan another party for us in the future!
Finni helped us coordinate our 25th anniversary at my non-profit and she was a lifesaver! It wasn't a wedding, but it was a formal catered event with ninety people in attendance. S...

and someone we always felt excited to talk to and comfortable to be ourselves with. Finni was there for us every step of the way to answer questions, give helpful tips and offer her incredible knowledge on what would work best for our vision! We were so impressed by her quick responsiveness to emails throughout the planning process as well as her preparedness for our planning meetings. About 6 months before our wedding, we moved from Seattle to London and so it became a destination wedding for us - having Finni there to keep us on track with planning made the transition so much less stressful and only highlighted Finni’s skills more! We’re so happy we trusted Finni with this important job and highly highly recommend her!

er ability to seamlessly coordinate the day of events made my day (the bride) effortless. She truly cared about our vision, story, and the emotional toll that planning a wedding can bring; and helped to alleviate any stress we had along the way. We will be using Finni for all of our events from now on. We can't recommend her enough!
