Magdalena Events & Design

a was extremely easy and fun to work with! Very organized and detailed oriented which was key for me. She also took many of my suggestions and thoughts for the event as well which is always fantastic! I can't wait to work with her and her team again!

ays was on top of things and never ever seemed to get tired of our endless questions (and changes). She took a real honest interest in making our wedding weekend a very special event for us and for our guests. Even when she was working on other events we always had the feeling that we were the only ones she would care for. Selection and coordination with vendors, taking care of all the "little" things along the way, coordinating with guests and everyone onsite during the weekend...thanks to her, there was not a single flaw along the way. Decorations during Friday night rehearsal party and even more so during the wedding were spot on matching our ideas and vision. Every guest was highly impressed how she ran everything. We recommend her highly and would hire her again in a heartbeat!!!

rd wedding at a private family home, so we needed to bring everything in and didn’t know where to start. Magda had a wealth of local knowledge and connections, recommended amazing vendors that aligned with our preferences/style, advised on design elements and timeline, and coordinated all details for rentals, alcohol orders, etc. Throughout the process, Magda was responsive in answering questions and providing advice, including on elements of the planning that were beyond her scope. During the wedding week, Magda coordinated all the vendors and set-up, kept events on-track, and managed everything behind the scenes seamlessly. Her strong reputation and relationships helped her build an effective team of vendors on the day. It was truly our dream wedding, and Magda played a critical role in making it happen!

t my wedding vision and she had great vendors to suggest! The wedding was beautiful thanks to her! Exactly what I wanted!

ed, what’s nonsense), and when and how to get things done. Very reassuring to have involved at the event - always a step ahead and in the know.

k and forth at the beginning of our process as to whether we needed a wedding planner, and are so unbelievably happy that we not only decided to go with one -- but specifically that we went with Magdalena. Here's why: Magdalena conducted numerous site visits to understand the venue (a private home where she'd never worked), and to map out exactly how the day and night would flow; she recommended almost every outside vendor that we ended up booking, and created a team who made everything seamless; she kept us to schedule and made logistical decisions genuinely fun and enjoyable; and, on the day and night of the wedding, she was somehow both carefree but also extremely diligent in terms of moving things along, making us aware of anything we needed to know, and putting together a beautiful evening. Her name is synonymous in the Hudson Valley (as well as in the Berkshires) with extremely high-quality, yet somehow low-stress weddings and events, and everyone we worked with mentioned how Magdalena has a shining reputation and executes everything she touches so incredibly well. We can't agree with them more. And still, we feel that our event was unique to us, and full of little moments that we'll remember forever because they reflected our personality. Magdalena knows exactly how to put together the big picture (with so many moving parts) without sacrificing the little details that couples invest their time in and care about deeply, and that's what makes her so phenomenal. She creates the types of weddings that look and genuinely feel like a personalized fairy-tale that couples escape to for the rest of their lives together.

s able to provide some flexible support throughout our wedding planning process, which made her an incredible value. She instantly “got” our vision for the day and helped us make it a reality, both by working with vendors and providing design elements from her own inventory. It turned out exactly as we were hoping for – maybe better. Magdalena is also a very calming presence: she is confident about finding solutions, reassuring when problems arise, and able to handle crises independently. She’s extremely professional and had all the details on lockdown throughout the process. At the same time, she is fun to work with and excited to be doing something that she clearly loves. Our wedding day was beautiful and largely stress-free (except for nerves), and a lot of the credit goes to Magdalena for that. Thank you so much!

ere she'll let you do most of the talking, but she'll be processing every single detail, and you won't need to mention it twice. We had about 5 months to plan at the Wheatleigh, and not being from the area, Magdalena was extremely beneficial in connecting us with all of the best vendors & resources on a relatively short timeline. She comes up with great solutions when unplanned events occur & really knows how to bring a vision to life! Every little custom detail that we wanted, she was able to execute - monogram napkins, limoncello escort bottles, sparkler send-off, floor seating setup... you name it, she did it! It was a true true pleasure to work with Magdalena & we happily recommend her to anyone looking to plan a wedding in the area!

d us navigate bumps along the way. She had wonderful ideas and contributions while allowing us to be creative and keep things personalized. She helped us achieve the most magical wedding day we could have imagined. Magdalena gave us fabulous vendor recommendations and did a beautiful job with design and feel of our wedding. On the day of, she did such a wonderful job tying all of the details together, keeping our large wedding party and families organized and happy. Everyone remarked on what a wonderful job she did. We hired Magdalena as a month of planner but she was oh so much more. She went above and beyond her planner duties and in addition she truly became a friend. We can't thank her enough! If you are planning a wedding in the Berkshires or in the Hudson Valley, hire her! She will be an invaluable planner and make all of your wedding dreams come true. Thank you so much for everything, Eleni and Angelo

e wedding, she went above and beyond with everything. She was there to help me with anything before I even asked. I'd highly recommend her to any bride to be!

te certainty - our wedding would not have been the day it was with out her. The attention to detail and professionalism coupled with her amazing warmth and friendly personality made it an absolute joy to work together. She handled difficult venders with class and never let it get our spirits down, she even became a master seamstress when my wife had a lil dress issue on the big day. Right before our wedding the weather decided that it really didn't care for any of the plans we had made together. Not to let a little rain dampen our spirits though, Magda turned our would be summer lake-side wedding into the most magical barn ceremony the world has ever seen. We still have no idea how you managed to do all of this in a day, on your own, while keeping us so relaxed and happy! We wouldn't have changed it for the world... it was better than perfect. So in short, If you would like a beautiful, magical, fun, stress free wedding and a new best friend to boot, Magdalena is the planner for you!

ave asked for more. Call her, you will def not be disappointed....she's the best!

h her he said, “I am so glad we have Magda!” From our 1st Skype meeting with her we knew Magda was a perfect match. We both agreed that she was detailed oriented, organized and SO GENUINELY PLEASANT! Exactly who we wanted to bring on board! Good energy is a MUST! Magdalena did everything she said she would do and....(here’s the part when your event coordinator can make or break)...then some. T storms were expected and nobody’s got time for “it’s good luck”! We need umbrellas and a plan B! Magdalena had both! Right down to our tiny details. Our venue was both indoor/outdoor intimate and she managed to arrange the furniture and vendors in such a way, keeping the laid back lounge space that we wanted while still having room to dance and mingle. It was perfect!! PERFECT! Magda knew the vibe we were going for so I trusted her to add a personal touch anywhere needed. We LOVED all of the details we discovered throughout the night. And to end the evening, Magda and Kathryn took care of closing the night and wrapping up so that we could leave without a worry. I need more Magda in my life!! ** the rhinestones on my shoes were catching on the lace dress, making it impossible to walk. Magda swooped in with a sew kit and tulle to make an invisible shield! Kathryn, saved the dance by fixing my bustle! I literally could go on about the two of them!! An incredible team.

hat I have never seen before. After working with her I realize why she gets all 5 star ratings. Friendly , a total pro with attention to all details. A seamless event

hearsal dinner, wine. And, when it rained on our wedding day, she was calm, cool and changed direction on a dime. It was the best party we have ever had - and our guests said it was the best wedding they had ever been to! Magda made it happen. You will not go wrong with her!

t only on our special day, but every moment leading up to it and thereafter. You will not be disappointed if you choose to use Magdalena's services, I can guarantee that. Thank you so much for all you did for us Magdalena, you were such an instrumental part in making our day as perfect as it was! Your kindness and hard work will never be forgotten.

ful. Even before the month-of period, Magdalena answered questions for us, gave us ideas, and was generally available as a sounding board. She honestly went above and beyond compared to what her contract called for. Would definitely recommend.

at every little detail would get the attention it deserved. Magdalena and her assistant Kathryn were professional and tireless leading up the wedding day, and beyond essential the actual day of the wedding. Our guests used words like "magical" and "fairytale" when describing their experience at our girls wedding. What a pleasure to work with Magdalen and even more pleasurable to get to know her.

n ideas, budget saving strategies, and overall planning organization. Her responsiveness, patience, work ethic is unmatched and I truly believe that without her as part of our big day it would not have been half as successful. She has a great way staying calm under pressure and worked so seamlessly with the other vendors we hired. She helped us plan and execute our rehearsal dinner/welcome party and our wedding. Not only did she help with all of the lead up planning but she was also onsite before anyone else and didn't leave until way after we did and the events were over (we're talking almost 2-3am). Her work ethic and attention to detail really stood out and separated her from other vendors we worked with during our wedding planning process. Working with Magda I never once felt like we were bothering her or overstepping (even after the 100th email we sent her way). She really felt like part of our team and went the extra mile (multiple venue site visits, multiple rental company showroom visits, attended our tasting, provided us with design ideas etc). Beyond being absolutely fabulous at what she does, we really loved working with her as a person. You can tell she genuinely cares about us as people and we never once felt like just another couple she's planning a wedding for. We absolutely loved working with Magdalena and would hire her again in a heartbeat! We can't recommend her enough and trust us when we say it'll be the best decision you make for your wedding! xo Adrianne and Chris

ng parts for this wedding weekend and she helped us prepare. At the end of the weekend everything was put away neatly and methodically. Love her!!!

t was literally like someone took my wedding dream, ripped it out of my head, and threw it in a field. That really isn’t an over exaggeration, and it is in such a large part thanks Magdalena and all of her wonderful recommendations. She put us both myself and my husband at such an incredible level of ease throughout the entire process and TURST me, once you go through the wedding process you will understand how incredibly meaningful and important that is. I can confidently say that had she not been on our team, our wedding would not have happened as seamlessly and magically as it did. The day after the wedding everyone was raving about how amazing, helpful, kind she was. I am so lucky to have been given the opportunity to know and work with her and it is an experience I won’t soon forget. Her kindness, positive attitude, and work ethic, are so genuine and I hope we have the opportunity to work with her again in the future!

, it was insane timing, but Magda kept us calm and kept our wedding organized. It was such a beautiful event, and it really happened with such little stress. She is an incredibly effective communicator. She was so good at making sure we knew what we needed to do and what she would just take care of. There have only been a few times in my life when I've met somebody so well suited for her job. And it is an incredibly challenging job. I have said so many times that hiring her was the most cost effective thing we did.

organizational skills to make everything magically happen on the day of our wedding, Magdalena has a great eye for design and everything looked absolutely beautiful. She would make great suggestions, advise on how best to do certain things based on experience as well as hook us up with vendors who were all really great too. Magdalena was responsive and easy to work with from day 1 and was the perfect calming influence that is essential with all the wedding craziness. Can’t recommend her enough!

ther was looking for a more traditional, but very elegant ceremony, while my husband and I were seeking a low-key, rustic vibe). Magdalena was somehow able to fulfill expectations on all sides, and was just an incredibly pleasant person to work with. On top of all the planned coordination activities, our wedding venue fired their on-site manager the month of our wedding- Magdalena was able to step-in and make sure that everything went smoothly! I would HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Magdalena for any bride.
