Leigh & Co Events

day run smoothly and my (now) husband and I genuinely could not have asked for a better day. We feel very fortunate to have worked with Jeannie and the Leigh and Co team.

ails that we did not think of. It made the wedding so much more special for us and we absolutely loved working with her. I would note that if you plan on working with the company, please triple check in your contract and with the admin (who seems to be located out of state of CA and contracts with coordinators in various states) what services are covered. I think it was a little bit confusing as to what details would be covered in the services when we first began chatting with the company admin, though we eventually got it sorted. Otherwise, Savanna was a dream to work with and made us feel cared for through the weekend!

utely amazing!!! Also the fact that the company (Tina’s hard work) was able to find us someone on such short notice was amazing as well. Highly recommend! 

that they forgot to copy anyone on), and once a coordinator was assigned, she never scheduled a meeting with me as promised until I followed up several weeks later. I should also mention that I received a reminder to pay the remaining balance on my invoice before I had even spoken to my coordinator, which was frustrating. At that point, I wasn't even sure what I was paying for! My coordinator, Anna, was very kind, but she came across as disorganized. The timeline document she put together was riddled with errors and confusing, even to me. She also sent me an introductory email after we'd already had a meeting, which added to the impression that things weren't particularly well organized. Thankfully, everything went pretty well on the day of the wedding, although we also had a relatively simple wedding. One thing worth noting is that we had specifically requested 10 uninterrupted minutes alone together immediately after the ceremony, but that time wasn't protected for us. Friends and family kept coming over to talk to us, and neither Anna nor the coordinating assistant was around to help deter them. I'm sure they were busy taking care of other things, but I can't deny that this really annoyed me. To top it all off, Anna's email to me the day after the wedding referred to my husband by the wrong name. Overall, it was a subpar experience, but I suppose that's what you get for the relatively affordable price. I imagine the experience varies significantly depending on which coordinator you're assigned. It may be useful to note that my wedding took place in NYC.

y anything you could think of when it comes to your wedding!  Anyone would be lucky to have her at their side on their big day! 

impressed with Jeannie and our day went perfectly because of her. She felt like a friend, totally got my vision, and went above and beyond. Highly recommend! 

ing to plan and ran smoothly. We couldn’t have picked a better business and person to work with on our special day! We highly recommend them!

d allocation of resources/training to their staff. The onus of the issue lies with the company, but I am not pleased with my service from my coordinator. She was well meaning and handled the communication with the vendors (I had selected, established the relationships with, and coordinated with all of the vendors prior to, her main add-on was to deliver the timeline to the vendors, which she accomplished). The day-of was a mess. There were issues with the table placement/name cards the coordinator was unable to field in the hours before the reception began. There were moments that involved her having to usher/shepherd people from one room to another, and she was unable to do so (I had to enlist in the help of my photographer and my friend/guest to guide folks along myself). I had to take the reins myself for many of these moving parts, getting on the microphone as a bride to get things moving and transitioning from one event to the other. There was a point in the night where she stopped coming to me and would only communicate with my husband about information, which exasperated my stress because I couldn't keep track of where she was or what she was doing. I ultimately felt like I could not relax until the dance floor opened up and there was very minimal left to coordinate. And it was my photographer, not my coordinator, that would end up organizing our grand departure. I do not blame my coordinator. She was kind, and there were issues with the venue/table seating that were out of her control. My issue is primarily with the company. They were horrible communicators. I paid in full weeks in advance and completed my paperwork promptly, and around eight weeks out I hadn't heard back. I reached out, and they said they would assign me someone once we get to six weeks out. About five weeks out, I still hadn't heard back. Only when I threatened to take my money elsewhere did they throw me to a client manager. It became clear to me that they were severely understaffed and were hiding that fact. And a company-wide disorganization had allowed my file, and many others, to fall through the cracks with no accountability. There was very little done to make up for this fact, and now (post-wedding) it is clear to me that they do not care about upholding the quality of the service they promise on their prospecting calls. There was also little support given to my coordinator, who (as she was from out of state) was not given the funds to rent a car, when it was made clear she would need to drive 15-20 to get from the ceremony (to pick up the set-up supplies) to the reception (my mother had to make the trip on her behalf instead, resulting in my mother being late for hair/make-up). It also became clear that my coordinator was severely overworked and underpaid, coordinating multiple weddings per week and would often get details confused in conversations (not a slight against her at all, but a poor reflection of a company that cares more about the quantity of their provided service than their quality). It is a luck of the draw if you will have a good, experienced, and not-overburdened coordinator, and it will be interesting to see if the company itself is open to constructive criticism. I would not recommend this company to any bride as of right now.

olute rock through the planning process! Even when tiny issues happened on our wedding day (which is inevitable and that’s just life!), Jeanni was so incredibly professional and knew exactly how to fix it! She didn’t miss a single detail and always fought for the best for me and my husband. Truly so grateful for her support and all her hard work! If you’re looking for the best planner, look no further because Jeanni is the absolute BEST of the best. 

rts, etc were being handled. Luckily I did my own because less than two weeks, they canceled for a medical emergency. If this were a small or individual planner, I would have understood. However, one of their selling points is that if someone has an emergency, another planner can step in. We got our money back but had to scramble to do the tasks we had planned on the planner doing. Do not recommend

d setup/cleanup assistance. We were told that we would be assigned our planner 3 months out, but had to email them multiple times asking for information once the 3 months hit. They told us that we would be assigned one at 8 weeks (2 months) so that was already against our contract. Our wedding was a mess; she didn't follow the timelines and was hiding upstairs hiding for most of the wedding. Our other vendors had to pick up the slack and do more work than they were contracted to. Our planner did not give us the floorplans and let us know that she did not have access to the system as she is an external contractor for L&C. After talking to their corporate side, we learned that was a lie, but it was too late as the wedding had already happened. She also disappeared half way through the night and did not help with the final cleanup. Look them up online and you'll see multiple poor reviews across the internet - go with another planner and save yourself the time and stress that you'll get from working with this company.

sure of having our ducks in a row. She is very kind, but also professional in ensuring people are on it day of your wedding, which you need. I knew I didn't have to deal with stuff and instead could rely on Tahnee to take care of it for me, that way I could enjoy my day. With my wedding, I felt she went above and beyond to take care of me and my family. 

s were very helpful in the months leading up to the day, we ran into some communication and execution snags. Our contract stated we would receive an intro to our DOC 10 weeks out from our wedding. I had to reach out 8 weeks out to ask for an update after completing much of the day-of timeline planning myself. Meg was helpful with organizing our rehearsal but did not take charge in problem solving during our actual wedding. Adjustments made in the days leading up to our event were met with some resistance. While the majority of the event ran smoothly, I wish it felt more like she was running the show. She sort of disappeared after the ceremony. Ultimately, the budget we set aside for a DOC could have been better used elsewhere.

she did! As a guy who does a lot of DIY-type weddings it was so great to have someone there to take on the task of coordinating and organizing to make sure everything ran smoothly. I would highly recommend Jennifer and the Leigh & Co. team to anyone planning a wedding or event.

they packed everything up and then haul everything back. It would have been nice to go over end of event logistics or to know if they were leaving for the night.

h us to ensure we were on the same page for the whole process. After the party had ended, she stayed behind to gather up anything we needed to take home with us the next day so we didn't have to worry about packing up at all in the morning, which was a HUGE help!

and contacting all of our vendors. She really made those last few months of wedding planning so much more enjoyable and made sure we didn't forget anything. And the day of she was fully present and ready to do anything that needed to be done which I really appreciated!

attention to details and your professionalism to the many moving parts of the event. The decor that you and your team provided was absolutely gorgeous. We can't wat to work with you again.

ome great behind the scenes content that I was so happy to have within 24 hours. She was so easy to communicate with and always reassured me that she got me. She truly made my wedding day the huge success it was. If you are on the fence, do yourself a favor and hire Emma ASAP!

and kind. They are great at listening to your needs. We are incredibly thankful of the team of coordinators who assisted us along the way!

considerate, understanding; everything you want in an organization that is collaborating with you to plan such an important event. They asked all the right questions, made amazing recommendations and suggestions, and always kept our vision of the wedding at the forefront of their mind. We highly recommend them to anyone in need of a coordinating service!

seamless & making sure I had the most relaxing wedding day! I recommend Emma to any bride! There’s a reason she does what she does, not only is she absolutely amazing at her job, but she is also one of the sweetest people you’ll meet. She goes above and beyond, and she is exactly who you want by your side on your wedding day!

ur décor beautifully. We had shared inspiration photos for how we envisioned everything, and she followed them closely and really brought our vision to life. It was clear throughout the weekend how much effort Emma was putting in, and she was handling a lot on her own. She stayed focused, worked hard, and made sure the important details were taken care of. We really appreciated everything she did to help make our wedding look and feel the way we had imagined it. Five stars for Emma and all of the effort she put into our day!

couldn’t be more pleased! Thank you Karissa!!

t 2 weeks out, and she started to take things off my plate and coordinate with my vendors. So many of my guests even complimented and said how incredible she was. She acted as a true planner for me. She was professional yet fun and added the perfect energy to our day. So grateful for her in making our day so seamless!!! 

ated with the venue staff, and did a million other things I probably don’t even know about to ensure our day was a success! Thank you Emma!

pt everything running seamlessly, handled every detail with such grace, and allowed us to fully relax and take in every moment of our big day without a single worry. We truly couldn’t have pulled it off without her amazing organization, support, and calm presence. If you want a stress-free wedding day where you can actually focus on celebrating, hire April—we cannot recommend her enough!

he brought such a calm, organized, and professional presence to the entire day. She handled every detail behind the scenes so seamlessly that we were truly able to relax and enjoy our wedding without worrying about timelines, vendors, or logistics. Everything flowed perfectly, and if there were any hiccups, we never knew about them because Karissa had it completely handled. She was incredibly attentive, communicative, and thoughtful throughout the day, making sure not only that everything ran smoothly, but that we were present and enjoying every moment. Our families and wedding party also commented on how wonderful she was to work with. If you’re looking for someone who will execute your vision flawlessly while bringing a calm and positive energy to your wedding day, I cannot recommend Karissa DiPillo and Leigh & Co. Events enough. We are so grateful she was such an important part of making our day absolutely perfect.

ocal event planners but were not sold on them. I then came across Leigh & Co. and their impressive website drew us in. We submitted an inquiry and after a brief phone call, we locked them in. We are SO happy we did. Months before the wedding, the company sent us some questionnaires and a shareable drive to start uploading our contracts, guest list, and more. About one month before the big day, we were connected with our coordinator, Christeen. Christeen was a great fit from the beginning. She was sweet, professional, and meant business! She showed up to our rehearsal, which was in a church, and advocated for us with a deacon that was not the friendliest. The day of the wedding, Christeen made everything flow so seamlessly. She made sure we ate, ironed out small mishaps with our vendors, and made sure everyone was where they were supposed to be. We really can't praise this woman enough. We would have been lost without her on our wedding day! I would definitely recommend this company to anyone looking for a planner/coordinator.

oriented client experience team.  However one thing they do very well is hiring the right day of coordinators. Megan was our assigned day of coordinator. She was absolutely incredible. Our day was flawless thanks to her. She worked tirelessly from setup to tear down which included multiple changeovers of the same room. However always behind the scenes so most of the time we never even noticed she was there. Family expressed how impressed they were with how seamlessly the wedding was going and knew that Megan was to thank. She also ensured other vendors were following our vision and allowed us to step back to enjoy our special day. Would work with Megan again!

in 24 hours sometimes even in 20 minutes.  2- kept us organized. She was lock step with everything in our timeline and leading up to have a successful event  3- fielded all issues- every wedding has hiccups but we didn’t feel them because of her communication with vendors and ability to put out fires without making any noise.  4- kept detailed notes and documentation on everything to better communicate with Vendors. Even more, Susan did an amazing job of working with us to create a wedding that exceeded every expectation we had. Her creativity, attention to detail, and warmth made the day so special and we never could have done it without her. 

sier and less stressful and was always there to answer questions, help with the little details, and make sure everything came together exactly how we wanted it. On our wedding day, I was able to fully relax and enjoy every moment because I knew Jontae had everything under control. She was so organized, helpful, and genuinely cared about making our day perfect. We are so thankful for Leigh & Co. and especially Jontae for making our wedding day so beautiful and unforgettable! 🤍✨

e was doing. She was always available to take my calls and answer any questions, which made such a difference during the weeks leading up to the wedding. On our wedding day, everything went so smoothly thanks to Donna. She handled all the little details and logistics so seamlessly that we were able to actually relax and enjoy our day. We truly cannot imagine our wedding without her and are so grateful for everything she did for us. If you’re looking for a day-of coordinator, hire Donna—you will not regret it!

questions we had. She met with us three times leading up to the big day and was helpful with keeping us on track and making sure that everything was well planned out. She helped provide a seamless timeline for the big day which helped relieve any stress. The prep guides and planning links supplied by the company were fantastic resources that kept us organized and stress-free throughout the planning process. On the wedding day, Mary Lynn and her assistant, Rini, managed all of our vendors professionally and seamlessly on our behalf, allowing us to focus entirely on celebrating with our family and friends. We are so grateful for their help to make our day so perfect!

rough the plan for our day, covering a lot of things that we hadn’t thought of, and creating a timeline that worked for the kind of day we wanted. In person, she had a relaxed and friendly manner that put us at ease. As the day went on, Rachel was always thinking ahead and adjusting the timeline on the fly as needed to respond to how things were going—always checking with us but always having a plan ready so we didn’t have to think. We were able to completely trust her to take care of things and highly recommend Rachel and Leigh & Co’s services!

re process feel effortless. Liz's coordination with vendors was flawless — every detail, from the florist to the caterer, was handled with precision and care, and nothing fell through the cracks. She also did an amazing job managing our guest list logistics, keeping everyone informed and making sure the day ran smoothly for family and friends alike. But it was her day-of execution that truly blew us away. She managed every moving piece behind the scenes so seamlessly that our family got to be fully present and enjoy every moment, without a single worry. Things that could have been stressful were handled before we even knew there was an issue. If you're looking for a wedding planner who combines organization, grace under pressure, and genuine care for your family, Liz Johnson and Leigh & Co. come with our highest recommendation. We are so grateful for everything she did to make our daughter's wedding day perfect.

eks before the big event. She was punctual, communicative, and extremely organized. We had several meetings leading up to our big day, and MaryLynn had a list of items to discuss at every single one. We found that it was really helpful to uncover the "unknown unknowns" as she essentially went through all the stuff that we had previously planned, then she highlighted (and helped us close) the remaining gaps. She was also there for our rehearsal the day before and got everybody in line and feeling good about the wedding day schedule and timeline. Would HIGHLY recommend working with MaryLynn specifically at Leigh and Co. Thanks!

ng setup as smooth as possible. We relied on our coordinator, Jaden, to help us put together a timeline, manage the timing on the actual day, and to set up decor.  Things were okay until the timeline went out to our vendors. Unbeknownst to me, one of our vendors had responded to Jaden with concerns about the timeline. They never got a response from her. I only found out when I sent my own round of emails a few weeks out from the wedding to check in with everyone and make sure we were good to go. The vendor was clearly stressed and let us know that they wouldn't be able to render their services in the timeline as established, and we ended up hashing out a plan to make it work with them directly. I communicated all of this to Jaden, she apologized, we adjusted the timeline, and we moved on. Mistakes happen. I would've let it go. Unfortunately, on the day of, the time management became an issue. We had a very tight timeline that I knew we'd probably stray from during the morning, which I was fine with. What was extremely frustrating for us (and our wedding party and families) was that very little was communicated to them when that did inevitably happen. I had assumed a printed version of the timeline would be made available to everyone, and for things to be frequently communicated. Neither happened. I hardly saw Jaden or her assistant the whole morning and assumed they were making things happen, keeping folks on time and informed about any delays. As it turns out, nobody had any idea where she was most of the morning. The florist (a partner vendor of Leigh & Co.) was late - she should have built in more buffer time on the delivery - and it threw off the morning. Much of the timeline management fell to our photographer and my husband, who were both visibly stressed, which was exactly the sort of thing I had wanted to avoid in hiring a coordinator. We had larger decor (an arch, and giant paper flowers) that we were told they could not help with for safety reasons, so we had some family friends help set those up. I'm not sure if they or the coordinators set up the signage, but they were too low and should have been something a coordinator would have caught and corrected. The table decor was set up well, at least. I was unaware of most of this until after the wedding, when several people told me separately how frustrating their experience was with Jaden. They saw her assistant more than her. There were other small things that all just added up to a feeling that we might as well have not had a coordinator. It was disappointing and I ended up feeling like I could have saved a good chunk of money to just have myself and friends handle all of these things. I think we would've done a better job, to be honest. I think a lot of it boils down to the fact that I was a very prepared bride, and that is maybe not the norm. So it's possible that Jaden assumed *I* had prepared for a lot of these things. If I were a more hands off bride she might have approached it differently, I don't know, but at the end of the day I wouldn't recommend working with Leigh & Co. We hired who we could on a budget, and thought we were doing better by hiring a professional company over an individual off of a Facebook group. We were wrong.

tions to make sure the day went smoothly. She was very responsive, and looped us into vendor communications just the right amount so that we were always up to date but not flooded with emails. On the day of the wedding, she and her assistant Elizabeth set up the decorations, kept the timing on track, managed all the vendors, guided the guests to the right place, helped me bustle my dress, and probably fifty other things I didn't even notice! Even our photographer commented on how great she was :) Thanks again MaryLynn and Elizabeth, we had an amazing day and it wouldn't have been possible without you!!

swer my questions, streamlined communication with all vendors to take that off my plate, and ensured everything went according to plan. On the wedding day, Liz and Juan made sure I (the bride) did not have to worry about a thing and that it was my dream day! Could not recommend them enough!
