Meeting and working together with Brittnie has truly been such a pleasure. From the very first moment we met, I knew she would become one of my favorite wedding vendors to collabor...
ate with, and over the years, I’ve had the joy of working alongside her many times.
Brittnie is an angel sent from the wedding industry gods upon our earth to make your wedding literally the best, SMOOTHEST, and most beautiful day or days of your life. And I’m not...
exaggerating at all. My husband and I got married in November 2025. We’re from New Jersey and Brittnie helped us with full planning for our destination wedding in the outskirts of Barcelona, Spain. Planning took just about 1.5 years for the full process and Brittnie goes above and beyond trying to make every single detail perfect for your day. My husband and I are both very type A organized people and Brittnie really spoke our language, guided us though every step, kept us on time and did ALL the communicating with the vendors for us- it was literally priceless to have someone manage all communication professionally with the vendors.
By the time our actual wedding day came around, we went into it with full confidence in Brittnie and her team who managed the wedding day with so much ease. Any anxiety from us or our families were instantly diminished when they saw what capable hands were handling our day. Any minor inconvenience from the vendors or random request from the MOB were handled by Brittnie so my husband and I were totally calm on our day. We could focus on each other and our guests and making sure we ate and drank and partied and we didn’t have to worry about shuttles, desserts, guests arrivals, vendors, or speeches. We were able to really stay in the moment and got the most from our day. She only asked us a single question on the actual wedding day which shows just how prepared she was and how fast she thinks on her feet. The question by the way was because the vendors were putting out ash trays (common in Spain)- she leaned over to me and asked if i want to allow my guests to smoke. She is so thoughtful, organized, detail-oriented, and really cares deeply about making the day PERFECT. Most of our guests were coming up to us at the end of the wedding or at our next day brunch to ask us about Brittnie and tell us about how amazing she was. Our guests told us our wedding was literally the best wedding they have ever been to and we are blaming Brittnie for ruining every future wedding experience that is not planned by Metheny and Company. You need her!!!!
We cannot say enough wonderful things about Brittnie and Metheny & Company! From the very beginning, Brittnie was truly invested in bringing our vision to life.
Prior to our weddi...
ng day, Brittnie kept us organized, helped us manage our budget, and even designed our wedding stationary. Her guidance throughout this process made our wedding planning fun!
On the wedding day itself, Brittnie was nothing short of exceptional. She anticipated needs before they arose and managed the day with such calm professionalism that we were fully present during our wedding day and enjoy every moment with our friends and families.
Brittnie’s attention to detail, and genuine care for us and our families made our wedding day even more special than we could have imagined! One of the most meaningful examples of this came after the wedding, when I stumbled upon a video of Brittnie carrying my grandmother’s walker over to her. Brittnie knew how important it was to me that my grandmothers were taken care of, and that moment perfectly captures the kind of person and planner she is: considerate, kind and selfless.
We are endlessly grateful and could not recommend Brittnie and Metheny & Company more highly!

ourney she kept us calm and confident, and on the day of the wedding she was nothing short of amazing. Every detail was handled seamlessly—timelines, vendors, church, buses to and from hotel, and all the unexpected little things we never even knew were happening behind the scenes.
Thanks to her, we were truly able to enjoy our daughter’s wedding at Hamilton Farm Golf Club as if we were guests—present, relaxed, and soaking in every moment. She gave our family the priceless gift of peace of mind. If you’re looking for someone who delivers excellence with grace and calm, look no further. Absolutely outstanding.

We worked with Brittnie for our Oct 2025 Wedding. We chose the partial planning option with day of coordination. From the beginning, she was a pleasure to work with. She was incred...
ibly organised and had a detailed task timeline for us to follow that took a lot of the stress out of the wedding planning process. She also had a number of vendor recommendations that she personally worked with, and these were invaluable for staying within our budget. All her recommendations were great; in fact, she actually found the venue we ended up choosing for our wedding. She is very responsive, our emails were always answered promptly, and she had endless patience for all our questions, no matter how inane. The day of the wedding was a breeze with her; she was there early and did a great job making sure everything ran smoothly; we didn't have to lift a finger during the event.
Brittnie is an amazing planner, highly recommend working with her.
Brittnie was so easy to work with and kept everything running smoothly and on schedule on our wedding day. She was calm, anticipated everyone’s next moves and prepped the timeline ...
and moving pieces with me ahead of time so I could relax day of! Highly, highly recommend her!
I can hardly put into words how important Brittnie was on our wedding day. She worked tirelessly to execute our timeline and ensure every detail was set up to perfection, all while...
also giving me the peace of mind that everything was under control. Because of Brittnie and her incredible assistant, we were able to be fully present on our wedding day, soaking in each moment and creating memories that will last a lifetime. She truly went above and beyond in every possible way.
From our very first meeting, we felt like we could finally take a breath. Brittnie's calm confidence, professionalism, and warmth made it so easy to trust her with one of the most important days of our lives. There were countless moments throughout the planning process when I thought to myself, "How would we be doing this without Brittnie??" From sewing the slit in my dress minutes before I walked down the aisle, to making sure we got to enjoy food and drinks during cocktail hour, to coordinating seamlessly with every one of our amazing vendors—she truly did it all. And she gave me the greatest gift: the ability to be fully present and enjoy every moment of my wedding day without stress or worry.
Hiring Brittnie was hands-down the best decision we made for our event. From the moment we connected, she was warm, attentive, and incredibly sweet — the kind of person who instant...
ly makes you feel like everything is going to be okay (and it was!!). Her talent is unmatched, everything the day of was executed flawlessly. She’s not just good at her job — she’s exceptional. Organized, creative, calm under pressure, and always one step ahead. We didn’t have to worry about a single thing during the entire day, and it was all thanks to Brittnie (and Tiff!). Our only regret was that we didn't book Brittnie for full planning services. If we could go back and do it all over again this is 110% the first thing we would do. Book her. You’ll be raving about her just like we are!!!
Brittnie flawlessly combined American and Colombian traditions to create a wedding that was both unique and deeply meaningful. Every detail was thoughtful, every moment unforgettab...
le, and our guests are still raving about the experience. Her creativity, organization, and genuine care made our day perfect.
I don’t even know where to begin with Brittnie—she was truly the heartbeat of our entire wedding day. Calm, organized, kind, thoughtful—she was everything we needed and more. She h...
andled every detail with such grace and care, and when things went awry (like our limo breaking down right before the reception), she didn’t hesitate—she drove us herself.
That’s just who Brittnie is: she shows up. She anticipates things before they happen, solves problems before you even know they exist, and supports you every step of the way. Not once did we feel overwhelmed because we knew Brittnie had everything under control. She was such a grounding presence and truly made our day feel seamless.
And even after the wedding, she continued to go above and beyond. There were a few loose ends with other vendors post-event, and Brittnie followed up on our behalf multiple times—making sure everything got resolved and that we didn’t have to carry that stress. She genuinely cares, and it shows in every interaction. We will be forever grateful for her and cannot recommend her highly enough.
There aren’t enough words to express how wonderful our wedding coordinator, Brittnie, was—our queen! From the moment we met her, I knew she would do great things for us. I immediat...
ely trusted her with everything, and I’m so glad I did. When our venue fell through, she swooped in like a pro and made everything work seamlessly. We effectively planned a wedding in just three weeks, and I would have gone insane without her calm demeanor and attention to every detail.
Brittnie was amazing at calming my nerves and reassuring me that everything would be perfect every second of the day. She communicated exceptionally well with all of our vendors, ensuring everything ran flawlessly and maintaining such a sweet, professional rapport with them. Her sense of humor kept us laughing through the planning chaos, which made the experience so much more enjoyable—boy, did I need that!
Thanks to her, our wedding was unforgettable. We’re incredibly grateful for her support and expertise. Brittnie, you saved our wedding and we are eternally grateful. Anyone would be lucky to have you as their planner and I’d book you again in a heartbeat!
Brittnie was the best vendor we hired!!!
The only regret I have is not hiring her to plan the whole wedding! Brittnie is one-of-a-kind, best-in-class, powerhouse of a wedding plan...
ner and coordinator. My wedding was the best day of my life, and me and my husband have been constantly saying that it only felt so seamless and easy because of Brittnie's work.
We had her as our day-of coordinator, but she began helping us over a month out from our date. She effortlessly coordinated with all of our other vendors and she helped us feel represented at all of our meetings with our venue. I truly cannot overstate just how important Brittnie was to our day.
Throughout the entire day of, she made sure we were all on track, she fielded all of our questions and our guest's questions, she fixed anything that was off, and she seemed genuinely happy for us the entire day.
Again, if I could do anything different about my wedding, I would've hired Brittnie day one. Please, do yourself a favor, and make the investment to work with Brittnie and her team!
We cannot thank Brittnie enough for the incredible job she did as our wedding planner. From start to finish, she went above and beyond to ensure our day was exactly what we envisio...
ned. Her communication was consistently excellent—she was always prompt, clear, and incredibly supportive. The platform she used was user-friendly and made the planning process seamless.
What truly stood out was her ability to bring our dream wedding to life. We came to her with a vision, and she executed it flawlessly, turning our ideas into reality. Her dedication and expertise made our special day not just a success, but a perfect reflection of our dreams. We wholeheartedly recommend Brittnie to anyone looking for a wedding planner who is not only professional but also genuinely passionate about creating beautiful, personalized events.
Brittnie is absolutely fantastic! She is organized, meticulous, kind, helpful and professional from the moment of the first interaction through every detail of the wedding. We we...
re so impressed with her when she helped with our first son's wedding that she was our go-to call for our next son's wedding.
Brittnie is eager to learn about each family's cultural and religious traditions. She makes sure that the vision for your wedding is executed flawlessly, allowing you to relax and enjoy the event. If I could give her more than five stars, I would!
If you're looking for a day-of-coordinator, Brittnie at Ride or Bride Events is your girl! I cannot express how at ease I felt the day of my wedding knowing that she was taking cha...
rge and made sure the day ran smoothly. My wedding day was comprised of 4 different locations (hair and makeup, church, pictures, reception) and timing was going to be super tight. Brittnie met with my husband and I well in advance before our wedding to discuss all the details. Not only that, she offered her insight as a professional when I was stressed/over making decisions. She made sure we stayed on time that day and ran the show at my cocktail hour while I was at pictures. She was so prepared and had a whole carry one worth of knick knacks; when I got a stain on my dress, she didn't hesitate and immediately began removing it in a discrete way. Her pricing is also very fair for the work she does. I can't recommend her enough--run, don't walk!
Brittnie was an INCREDIBLE addition to our team of wedding vendors. From our very first phone call, it was clear that she was going to help ease all of the stress I was feeling abo...
ut the wedding planning process- and she did!! Brittnie was an extremely valuable resource throughout the months leading up to our big day, and her interactive checklist was a life-saver. On the day of the wedding, she was truly responsible for making our day perfect. Brittnie kept us organized and ensured the day ran smoothy, while we were able to relax and have fun! She was always there to help whether it was with photo arrangements, fixing my veil, magically getting stains off my dress, shoe switches, anything and everything we could think of needing assistance with. Most importantly, Brittnie made it feel like we had another dear friend there with us throughout the day and I am so grateful that she was a part of our wedding experience.
Brittnie is truly a rockstar! I had the pleasure of working with Brittnie to plan my bachelorette party in Tulum, Mexico. Brittnie seamlessly took the lead with all details, includ...
ing planning and coordinating the itinerary (making reservations, planning transportation, booking accommodations, planning meals, etc.) all while effortlessly communicating with me and my guests. There was not one single logistical hiccup throughout the entire trip, thanks to Brittnie. If I had a quick question about a reservation, Brittnie promptly responded, never leaving us guessing or wondering what happens next. I could not have planned this trip without Brittnie or Ride or Bride Events!
Brittnie was the best decision we made to assist us with our daughter’s wedding shower. She is the consummate professional and extremely talented. She didn’t hesitate on any requ...
ests made and was able to take my ideas with very little direction and create the most memorable day I will never be able to thank her enough for. Everyone had the most amazing time and said it was the best shower they ever attended. She also follows up on any requests or questions with equal enthusiasm. I respect how she truly cares about the profession and offers explanations through her wealth of knowledge to assist in making informed decisions. We will absolutely reach out to Brittnie for future events. Do not hesitate to put your trust in Brittnie for any of your events.
I can’t say enough about Brittnie and her organizational skills. My nephew recently got married in October. We had several changes to the wedding due to weather . Brittnie was ex...

I didn’t know how important a wedding coordinator was until I met Brittnie! She truly set us up for success on the best day of our lives. From the beginning she relieved all our st...
ress by making sure all the little details of our day came together exactly as we imagined. Brittnie coordinated with all our vendors and the the staff of our venue to ensure a smooth sailing day, she even helped some of our vendors set up and complete some of their tasks!
My husband and I had multiple meetings with Brittnie in the weeks leading up to our wedding. We reviewed with her what we had planned and the times restrictions and needs given to us by our vendors and the venue. She then created a day of timeline and made sure all our vendors were aware of the timeline. She made sure our wedding party was where they needed to be at the time they needed to be there and made sure all my wedding decor was set up the way I envisioned it. She stayed with us the entire day, making sure everything went as perfect as we imagined it. She advocated for us if something wasn’t going the way we imagined it. I know for a fact our day would not have gone as smoothly as it did without Brittnie and we are forever grateful for her!
Brittnie is AMAZING! We hired Brittnie as our day of coordinator and we were thrilled with the communication and level of detail she provided leading up to our wedding. No stone w...
as left unturned when she was creating our timeline and I don’t think our wedding day would have ran as smoothly if we didn’t have her. Our wedding day was seamless and organized which allowed us to relax and have fun with our bridal party, parents, and guests. Anytime I had a question, Brittnie immediately had an answer (I swear, she had eyes and ears everywhere that day)! She was calm, cool, and collected from our first meeting of planning the timeline to the last song of the night! She really was able to keep my anxiety and worry down because of her calming nature. She takes care of all the little details so that you can have fun and enjoy yourself. Hire Brittnie!!! You will not be disappointed!
Brittnie at Ride or Bride Events was the glue that held our wedding together! I was convinced that we didn’t need a day of coordinator because I was so organized in planning, but f...
elt overwhelmed as the wedding got closer. Brittnie stepped in and streamlined literally EVERYTHING! Our wedding day went so smoothly and we didn’t have to think about a thing. One of my vendors almost forgot to show up and Brittnie had it handled and rectified with me barely knowing about it. I recommend Ride or Bride Events to everyone I know that is engaged, don’t hesitate when it comes to booking them!
Brittnie from RideorBride planned and coordinated my destination wedding in Costa Rica. She was absolutely superb, she walked me through every step of the planning process. Her con...
stant communication put me at ease knowing she had every detail under control. The only thing better than the process, was her reassuring presence the day of. I have since recommended her to all of my bridesmaids. Brittnie, thank you for being a bride’s best friend of her big day!!!
