Irene and team did an incredible job with our design and execution for the big day. We had originally started with another planner, who went out of business, and had actually picke...
d some vendors on our own but really needed design help to keep moving. They were able to pick up right where we left off, without losing a cohesive feel and while accomplishing exactly what we wanted — an elegant, swaggy vibe, but not pretentious, approachable, and modern. We are still on cloud 9, and the whole event and week were just incredible, we could literally not ask for better and will never forget it.
The team came in clutch all day, every emergency, every little thing that came up— including intercepting a much overdue package (fiancés tux jacket) that had been stuck in customs and was finally delivered the day of the wedding, less than an hour before the ceremony to my dad’s place across town.
Admittedly, I had my doubts from time to time, because I’m an anxious gal and was worried that I’d asked for too specific of a vibe with very little pinterest content to go on, but trust the process because this was the most beautiful event ever. My eyes felt happy looking around at the colors, textures, florals, and design choices all night long, and as a destination wedding, our out of town guests all had the time of their lives.

We can’t say enough great things about Irene and her team. We hired Irene as our wedding planner and designer for a Fall wedding at 620 Loft and Gardens in New York City. This was ...
a long process, and a logistically challenging space to co-ordinate in (a beautiful blank space venue, but this also means you need just under a gazillion vendors to bring our vision to light), and she was with us through it all — from the venue tours, to design to when a parade closed off our loading schedule to when forecasts were predicting a potential hurricane.
Because of her, our wedding day was absolutely magical, even with rain! Her team was AMAZING, and allowed us to fully enjoy the day without working about any logistics. Her team was there as early as 5:30AM to set-up the venue (before the parade shut down roads) and handled even bringing our gifts, second dresses etc, back to our hotel, so that we could even enjoy the final moments of our wedding.
An absolutely incredible and caring wedding planner, we can’t recommend her enough!

st bridal shops. She was always cool and collected when my husband and I were nervous and made us feel comfortable throughout the entire process. She was very quick with communication and always made us feel like she had our backs. We had some issues with our venue and Irene passionately advocated for us and took away the stress and solved all the problems. On the day of the actual wedding, I felt so supported. With families chiming in and creating more stress, Irene kept us on time and helped mitigate any drama. She and her team were with me the entire night! Having to wear a boot due to an ankle sprain, Irene was always ready with ice, an extra chair for elevation and saved me during my trips to the bathroom with my big dress! I couldn’t recommend Irene and her team enough! Such a wonderful person to work with and she helped me stay calm throughout the process! The wedding details were amazing!!!

I didn’t want to look into and made sure it was top quality. The day came out beautifully without a hitch. Irene excels at logistics and took care of all the delivery and executed my vision all while I shut my brain off and truly whole heartedly enjoyed the fruits of our labor. All our guests had a great time and my husband and I had the best time enjoying each other’s company while being in the moment. Weddings go by fast, but the piece of mind that everything was going according to plan is enough to say how happy we were with her service.

wedding. The entire team was incredibly knowledgeable, walked me through every decision, and always had timely responses to my million questions. I felt very taken care of from the first meeting. Every small note I made even from a year prior was noted and accounted for. Being sent vision boards of my ideas made me feel so incredibly excited for my big day, and then seeing those same ideas come to life on the day of was amazing. The wedding was beautiful!!! I could not have pulled together the vision I had in my head myself, but the Irene & Co team made it happen and enhanced it further. The vibe, decor, and flow was perfect. From the welcome sign to the alter, everything had a cohesive vision. All of my guests complimented how beautiful everything looked, and a bride to be told me she took notes on the timeline because of how smoothly the day flowed! When anybody asks how I made it happen I can honestly say it was truly the planning team we hired. I am itching to get photos back of the day so I can experience it all over again! We loved working with Irene to set the vision and vendors, and then Holly to make sure the day itself went well. I can’t recommend this team enough!

If you are hesitating to hire a wedding coordinator/Irene & Co Events - DON'T HESITATE! Irene and her team's hard work and hustle were the reason my wedding day ran perfectly! Irene understood my vision for the wedding day, communicated it clearly to her team, and they were able to keep everything on track and as planned leading up to and throughout our wedding day. This is a very special team, and they were phenomenal to work with! Many of our guests also said how great of a coordinator team we had! I can't thank Irene, Jessica and Anna enough!

When I was looking for a wedding planner for my Deer Valley wedding I spoke to a few people… I found Irene and Co. on Rocky Mountain Bride and immediately her energy and work ethic...
stood out to me. I felt the most comfortable I had during the experience of planning my wedding that far.
There was never a time where Irene was unprofessional, or unwilling to go beyond to help us. I personally felt she went above and beyond what is expected of a planner. With this in mind our wedding day went beyond smooth.
Something worth noting too was that Irene executed the design of our wedding with budget in mind in the most beautiful, detail oriented way. My husband and I were blown away by her vision. I would say our wedding looked so beautiful, it was as if we spent triple because of how beautiful Irene made it.
All in all, I 1000% recommend Irene and her team!!

lley wedding! From the very start, it was clear how much intention and heart you poured into your day, and bringing that vision to life was an absolute honor. Knowing that you felt comfortable, supported, and truly taken care of throughout the process means everything to us. Creating something stunning while being mindful of the budget is always a priority, and I'm so glad you felt the impact of that. Your wedding day was nothing short of breathtaking, and we’re beyond grateful to have been a part of it. Wishing you both a lifetime of love and joy!

Just WOW! We are still getting compliments for how breath taking, unique and magical our wedding was, all thanks to Irene & Co. I think we gave Irene 3 words of what we wanted our ...
wedding to be and she took our dreams to the absolute next level. We were a couple that never dreamed of our wedding or what it would look like but knew we wanted it to be whimsical and to embody a fun atmosphere. SHE ABSOLUTELY KILLED IT. Her creative energy, attention to detail and ability to bring ALL the best vendors together was incredible. I was consistently amazed by Irene's professionalism, ability to respond to surprises (like rain), and completely nail the wedding vision we wanted. From the venue, to the flowers, to the food, hair and make up, beautiful design, to the fabric menus, to the DJ... Irene knew how to bring it all together for a VIP and 10 out of 10 experience. I will always be amazing but what she did.

with Irene -- she knows everyone and has strong relationships with every group of vendor. She made suggestions when we had no idea certain decisions even existed to be made, and introduced us to really quality people. I appreciated the care and discretion with which she handled our lives' ups and downs during the wedding planning process, and how she patiently helped us catch up when we came back online. Every one of my guests kept complimenting all the thoughtful details, all of which Irene handled and implemented. She also handled and fixed multiple difficult situations that I still don't even know fully because I was busy enjoying my wedding day. She gave that to me as a gift. Thank you, Irene and your team!!!
Communication--easy peasy
Execution--no one (neither us nor our guests) knew of a single flaw in the entire weekend
Personality--a pleasure, extremely professional and non-judgey
Management--Pretty sure we stayed within budget except in areas where we made special extra requests.

I cannot recommend Irene enough — she completely saved our wedding when our first planner failed us. We were less than 60 days away from our wedding date of 100+ guests when my par...
tner and I realized our first planner was not going to ever step up and we needed to part ways. We were behind on everything — vendors still weren’t booked, contracts of booked vendors needed significant clarification, catering and drink menus nowhere near finalized, etc. I started cold calling wedding planners off our venue’s preferred vendor list and found Irene and within an hour she had a solution for us. Parting ways with our first planner and hiring Irene was the best decision we could have made.
Within the first 2 days of hiring Irene’s team she had already read through our existing contracts and found problem areas needing clarification. She had already worked with all of our vendors numerous times and was able to sort things out with minimal stress to me. I’m a tote type A control freak who, due to a way less experienced planner initially, had planned almost the entire wedding myself prior to hiring Irene. I was worried about handing the reins over but after working with Irene for 2 or 3 days I knew we were in good hands.
Communication was 100% what I needed throughout the whole process. My (now) husband (!!) and I both have crazy busy jobs and can be terrible with email, but Irene was super on top of texting (my preference) and updating a Google doc with progress (husband’s preference). I felt incredibly at ease after Irene took over and for the first time since starting the planning process felt like we actually had an expert on board taking care of everything and keeping the cats all herded.
Our wedding days was perfect! It came together in ways I couldn’t have imagined. No wedding horror stories of vendors who went MIA or chaos the day of, it just ran smoothly. We even had a handful of guests tell us later “this was one of the few weddings we’ve been to where things moved seamlessly”. Huge thanks to Irene, Holly, and team for taking SUCH good care of us!

in and help bring your vision to life, especially under such unique circumstances. I’m thrilled to hear that you felt at ease and confident with our planning process—communication and taking care of every detail is always our top priority, especially when time is of the essence.
Your wedding day was beautiful and such a joy for us to be a part of! Hearing that your guests found it seamless and stress-free is exactly why we do what we do. It means the world to us that you and your husband were able to relax and fully enjoy the day!
Huge thanks again for trusting us with such an important celebration. We wish you both a lifetime of love and happiness!

Irene and Co were absolutely amazing to work with. From the start, Irene was very available and helpful with every step of the process. From picking out venues, to helping us under...
stand costs, and pointing us towards the best vendors. She took point on booking and managing logistics on things which made the process much more enjoyable and relaxing for us. Irene was very flexible with offering different options for every decision we had to make, as indecisive people, this made it much more approachable. Everyone we worked with on her staff was equally as delightful, pleasant, and helpful. For all of our meetings with the venue, someone on staff was always present to help us ask the questions we wouldn’t even think of. The staff day of the wedding made the entire day seamless and perfect. The staff made it so we did not have to spend an ounce of time worrying about the logistics or coordination of the day. There was a minor hiccup in transportation the day of the wedding, and her staff took care of it without hesitation to the point where we barely even knew the hiccup occurred, nor did it effect any of the timeline for the day. The day of staff was also incredible for the reception. Making sure that every detail was ironed out, and we always had a drink in hand, and food in front of us. They made everything leading up to our special day, and the wedding itself, so enjoyable and fun, and we can not recommend Irene and her team enough. By far the best investment we ever made.

Between coordinating our many vendors (as we did a backyard wedding that required bringing EVERYTHING in) to ensuring we had every single item thoughtfully planned and executed throughout our wedding weekend, Irene truly went above and beyond for us.
Many of our friends and family remarked how calm we were both during the wedding weekend and beforehand. This was in large part due to Irene and all the hard work her and her team put in. She made it stress-free for us no matter what was going on.
We are so thankful to Irene and her team and encourage anyone to use her services as they are well worth it!

I sent irene my Pinterest and any photo I liked and she ran with it and you can tell she puts her whole heart and soul into every detail, but only in alignment with each client’s vision. My wedding genuinely was the best day of my life and it felt like ME. I don’t know how she does it but it’s worth every penny. She also helps you save money because she has great relationships with so many vendors that she pretty much pays for herself by the end of it all. My husband and I can’t express enough how much we recommend Irene.

xhibited exceptional professionalism and attention to detail throughout the planning process, ensuring that every aspect of the wedding reflected the couple's vision and style. Her expertise was evident in the flawless coordination of vendors, the timing of events, and the overall ambiance of the celebration. It literally took my breath away.
One of the most impressive aspects of Irene (& Co's) work was their ability to handle any unexpected challenges with grace and efficiency. From adjusting seating arrangements at the last minute to swiftly resolving minor issues behind the scenes, they ensured that the bride, groom, and guests could relax and enjoy every moment without worry.
As a photographer, I also appreciated Irene's consideration for the visual elements of the wedding. They worked closely with me to ensure that the lighting, timing, and setup were optimized for capturing stunning photographs that the couple will cherish for a lifetime. The timeline was detailed and executed perfectly. It made my job feel effortless.
Overall, I cannot recommend Irene highly enough. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and creative vision transformed what could have been a stressful day into a truly magical and unforgettable experience for everyone involved. If you're searching for a wedding planner who will exceed your expectations and bring your dream wedding to life, look no further. You won't regret working with Irene & Co.

t the wedding day she was professional, organized, kind, and knowledgeable. Everything started right on time with no hiccups. I was so impressed with how she brought everything together! As a vendor I appreciated all of the information she gave me prior to the wedding so I didn’t have to try and dig for it myself. I had everything necessary weeks in advance and that made navigating the wedding day a breeze! She kept in close contact with us vendors throughout the process to help the bride+groom have stress free planning. She always answered any messages in a timely manner which I appreciated.
I was so so impressed with the lovely job she did. The wedding was seriously so spectacular! She thought about every single detail and it came together so beautifully. I was truly in awe the entire evening.
Above all her and her team were so kind, inclusive, and a joy to work with! All lovely people who really do care a lot about the couple, guests, and vendors.
I truly can’t say enough good things about her and her team! Having worked many weddings, Irene really stood out to me - she definitely went above and beyond to make sure the wedding was everything the couple dreamed it would be.

are of. She anticipates the things you never even thought about and has a plan A, B and C ready to go. As an industry professional myself, I know lots of talented planners- Irene eclipses them all. Having done hundreds of weddings as a wedding florist, we had a very clear, yet non traditional vision for our wedding. Irene instantly saw and understood what we were trying to achieve and brought it to life better than I could have ever imagined.
My husband originally believed we could do most of our planning on our own. He was blown away by everything he didn’t realize went into a wedding and how seamlessly Irene handled all the many details. We love her and her whole team!! Our day would never have succeeded without her!

ity was to ensure that the bride and the bridal party enjoyed the special time together leading up to the wedding , and the night of. When one of us wanted to be included in aiding in any help , she would give us something meaningful to do to feel a aprt of the experience. I even split my dress open 10 minutes before photos, i was ready to just wear the mess down the isle. She stopped and sewed my dress while answering other oranized text messages . It was amazing to watch. She is a complete necessity.

rene was during my sister-in-law’s planning process, I was sold. Before Irene joined my team, I had picked out all of my vendors, but then had become overwhelmed by the process. Irene took the reins from me and played a major part in designing my wedding, coordinating with the vendors, and of course making sure my wedding weekend went smoothly. I was so relaxed about my wedding, especially the weeks leading up to it, that I was really able to enjoy the process and the day. I cannot recommend Irene enough!

Irene helped to plan out and execute the most beautiful Indian wedding I've ever seen (and I'm not just saying that because I was the bride!) She was upfront and told me she had never been lead on an Indian wedding before but the dedication to detail and research she put into things really showed. If you're deciding on whether or not to get a wedding planner and it's within your budget I'd say go for it! The amount of stress that was deflected on the day of the wedding, by Irene and her team, let me thoroughly enjoy my big day without having to worry about any hiccups. She was there to fix my veil, provide chapstick when I was nervously eating all my lipstick away, kept us on time and most importantly kept us fed and had drinks ready the entire time. I'll miss working with this team!

ce of mind was amazing and allowed us all to be in the moment the whole day. Irene saved the day on more than one occasion (making a trip into salt lake to get a bow tie for my dad) and I knew everything we had planned together was in great hands. She was a joy to work with in the planning process too, giving us so many great vendor recs and taking so much stress off the planning process. She made my vision come to life, and I truly got to have my dream wedding because of her guidance. The day after my wedding so many of my family members were complimenting what a great wedding coordinator I had. If you’re on the fence at all, do it, you will absolutely thank yourself for hiring Irene!

anized, committed and in control (in a good way) during the night! She was a pleasure to work with before and during the couple's celebration.
One thing that really impressed me was the design and use of space. The ceremony decor and layout were stunning. Followed by a social hour that incorporated specialty furniture and accent pieces for a cool vibe. Her curation of the main event space included an elegant yet modern color palette, floral accents, table presentation, dinner service and space utilization which were perfect. Guests walked into the dinner and dancing then immediately pulled out their phones for pictures as they explored the decor, embellishments, and all the little details. I overheard lots of positive comments from the guests.
She made amazing memories for the couple, their family and friends. 100% for Irene and team. Great job!

d many events at my home throughout the years. Boy was I wrong! Irene took the ideas that Laura shared from Pinterest and created a beautiful bohemian backdrop and vibe to the entire back yard. It was everything and more! She worked tirelessly from 10 in the morning to 6 in the evening, never stopping. Irene and her assistant were present during the entire event-moving quietly and efficiently. She is not the typical bossy wedding planner that I had originally feared. She listened to her client, created the vision and did so with the utmost grace and finesse. Look no further if you want the best wedding/event planner!
