Modern Rebel & Co.

Molly from Modern Rebel was absolutely incredible in helping plan and execute our wedding. From the start, she was on top of every detail, including coordinating with all of our vendors. When we faced challenges with our cake vendor, Molly didn't hesitate to go above and beyond--offering to deliver the cake to the venue herself. Her dedication was remarkable. On the day of the wedding, she and her team stepped up in ways we couldn't have imagined. We forgot a dress at the hotel, and she had it retrieved during the middle of the wedding without a hitch. Molly was endlessly patient with our friends and family, especially when it came to providing reminders (which our family needed quite a bit!). She handled all the aisle logistics like a pro, making sure everyone knew exactly where to stand and when to walk. Her attention to detail was unmatched--something as small as ensuring our tablecloths were perfectly crisp didn't go unnoticed. She was incredibly flexible and solution-oriented, finding a better location for our seating chart and even improvising to pin up our aura sign when there was no table available. One of the most impressive things was that at the end of the night, Molly remembered to gather all the items we needed to take home such as my wife's flower bouquet which we had forgotten to add to the list! Her thoughtfulness ensured nothing was left behind. Molly's calm and friendly demeanor made the entire experience stress-free for us. We couldn't have asked for a better planner, and she truly made our day perfect. If you're looking for someone who goes above and beyond, Molly is your person!

Words can’t express our gratitude to Modern Rebel. When we started this process, we were overwhelmed and nervous. We had a million ideas but no direction or experience with execution. We had been guests to countless weddings, but we had no idea what kind of work it took to pull off something so seamlessly. Working with MR has been the absolute highlight of the entire experience. MR - You all are kind, hard-working, reliable, responsive, and, most importantly, focused on us and prioritized our experience above all else. You encouraged us to choose experiences that felt like us, forget the ones that don’t, and focus on our relationship first and foremost. You made us feel seen, heard, and understood, and you went to bat for us numerous times. One of our guests said that our wedding felt like the most authentic wedding they had ever been to — and I think that speaks volumes to your work. Not to mention, we had the time of our life. Michelle - the vision that you executed was beyond compare. You took our vague and abstract ideas and turned them into a concrete vision. You connected us with vendors that would execute everything we wanted and more. We had the perfect combination of Bushwick, the mountains, and the hills of New Zealand. Our personal touches - the designs of our family and friends - made the night even more special. Caitlin - where do we even begin? You are magical. You built a day that was about us and the things we care about the most - celebrating and having fun with our families and friends. You kept us focused on the most important things throughout the process. You kept us calm when forces (see: weather forecast) and people (see: venue staff) tested our patience. Saturday was the best day of our lives - from the big picture to the tiny details like when you would appear with water every time we silently felt a little dehydrated. You allowed us to focus on what was most important to us - each other - by taking care of everything else. And most importantly, you are kind and FUN and we had an absolute blast. So many of our friends are STILL talking about how “cool and chill and fun” our planner was and are trying to get you to hang out with us more (we agree). Thank you for everything and more -- we will forever be singing your praises.

If you are looking for a contemporary wedding planner who pushes the boundaries to make your wedding personal, sets aside the stuffy traditions, and keeps things in perspective, it has to be Modern Rebel! If you want a lead wedding planner who combines professionalism with a personal touch, we wholeheartedly recommend Brittany. While searching for a wedding planner, we wanted something far beyond the typical, cookie-cutter approach, to help bring our non-traditional wedding to life. We had grand visions of saying our vows on a hot July day surrounded by loved ones on a boat sailing around the tip of Manhattan, followed by champagne sabering, and photos with smoke sticks, all while being serenaded by Spanish guitarists. For the night-time, we wanted to host a full-on, Motown infused dance session, and transform the windowless ballroom ‘party-bunker’ into a color-blocked, light-changing, night club, entertained by a talented band. Modern Rebel brought that vision to life, which is A LOT of life to create!. They listened to all of our ‘out-there’ creative ideas and delivered something that wowed our guests all while keeping our feet and budget firmly on the ground with their experienced advice. We loved how personal they not only made ‘the day’, but the whole wedding planning experience, from day one when we created our ‘marriage mantra’, to the days after the wedding recalling the highlights. We can’t say enough good things about Brittany, our lead wedding planner. From day one, Brittany was a delight to work with. Her easygoing nature made planning feel like an ongoing conversation with a friend, yet she was also firm with vendors when necessary, ensuring everything stayed on track. Unfortunately she needed to be stern more than she might have liked with one particular vendor but she struck the right balance of keeping us informed while managing the issues behind the scenes so as not to create any stress. Brittany also came up with creative ideas to manage our vision within our budget, including finding an experienced photography duo that perfectly the matched the vibe we were looking for. On our wedding day, Brittany’s behind-the-scenes work was truly invaluable, as she traveled from Williamsburg to Southstreet Seaport and back, coordinating multiple vendors, tactfully making sure our wedding party was always where they needed to be, and even helped the bride to change into some comfortable shoes at the end of the night! The efforts of Brittany, Michelle, and Kara allowed us to fully enjoy the day without a hitch.

We worked with Modern Rebel for day-of coordination and could not have asked for a more stellar experience. Molly was thoughtful, reassuring, and so on board with our offbeat ideas. My husband and I wanted to flip the script on a few more "traditional" wedding things and instead of pushing back, the Modern Rebel team wanted to push us to keep reinventing our wedding to be uniquely us. There were several DIY details to our wedding that Molly and her team were able to riff off of, like figuring our the flower distribution, table settings, disco ball installation, and our friend's art textile dye installation. On our wedding day, we had a few check ins with Molly but ultimately both of us knew we were in SUCH good hands and WOW what a beautiful space we walked into when we saw the venue day of. Thank you thank you thank you to the team!!!! We love Modern Rebel. <3

Brittany and the Modern Rebel team were instrumental in helping us define our vibe and design a beautiful event. They recommended fantastic vendors who delivered everything we were looking for.

Their professionalism, creativity, and commitment to making our day special were unparalleled. Thank you, Brittany and Modern Rebel, for making our wedding day everything we dreamed it would be!

Modern Rebel is the real freakin’ deal. Molly helped us from the very beginning to end and is not only incredible at what she does, but is also a genuinely kind, caring, & fun human being!! We loved getting to know her throughout the Love Party planning process. She took the time to get to know us and helped bring our vision to life, making our Love Party the most special celebration with all of our loved ones. From heart shaped chocolate chip cookies to a bubble exit to a late-in-the-game switch from head table to sweetheart table — Molly was always open to our ideas & handled everything that came her way with ease. Throughout the Love Party planning process, people kept asking us how we were feeling, were we stressed? overwhelmed? anxious? Our response was always the same — the feelings at the forefront were always excitement over stress! We were incredibly lucky to get the ultimate gift of a smooth, non stressful planning process thanks to Molly, Michelle (shoutout to the design queen!!!), Kacy, and the whole Modern Rebel team. Thank you, MR!!

It’s hard to come up with sufficiently glowing praise for the Modern Rebel team. As a queer couple, we entered the wedding-planning process worried about how the wedding industry often comes with narrow-minded assumptions at best or outright exclusivity at worst. It was – and we can’t stress this enough – absolutely game-changing (not just for our wedding, but for the last 2 years of our life writ large) to have a team who understands this and actively seeks to change it. This initially drew us to Modern Rebel, and as we worked with them over the past two years, we kept finding more reasons to love them. They provided the most amazing vendor suggestions, they quickly problem-solved for us when we raised concerns, they patiently educated us when we were clueless about wedding-world things, and they enthusiastically celebrated us and our partnership every step of the way. They’re knowledgeable, incredibly organized, and impressively efficient – we felt like we were in the best hands the whole time. Amy, Caitlin, and Michelle’s expert-level planning ensured that our “love party” not only appeared effortlessly-run, but also so very “us.” They took time to creatively come up with the alternative aisle arrangements after we asked them to, embraced our unorthodox requests re: party props and favors, and made our planning process fun and exciting rather than stressful. A special shout out to our (best-named) team: Michelle’s incredible eye and insight brought our vision for the night to life, creating a truly stunning and unique combination of bold colors, fun neon lights, and a ton of props. Caitlin was the best third teammate (and coach) we could have possibly imagined. She listened attentively to what we wanted and then executed perfectly. She impressed us by not just being amazing at her job but also amazing to be around — both our families and all our friends have raved about how professional, kind, fun, and impressive she was! To be able to work with someone who combined incredible professional expertise with genuine excitement to celebrate us as a couple meant the world to us. Thanks to Modern Rebel, we showed up to our wedding night and saw an event that reflected who we are, a well-run party that let our loved ones have the time of their lives, and also on top of all this, a planning team we like so much that we genuinely wanted to have them at our wedding. We felt so lucky and can’t recommend them highly enough. Thank you Modern Rebel for everything!!

Molly & Modern Rebel team - we wanted to send our heartfelt thank you for everything you did to make it the perfect day!! Everyone was saying that we need to replicate 100 Molly McAdoo’s to make the world a better place - but you are truly one of a kind! Thank you for organizing everything to perfection, managing my sassy uncle with grace, and being the best partner this past month.

Modern Rebel, and our planner Brittany Ward, deserve all the credit for planning, designing, and coordinating the best day of my life. I cannot speak highly enough of this company and of Brittany. They immediately "got" our slightly out-there vision, and were as stoked as we were to bring it to life. They are experts in the NYC wedding space. I didn't have to do any research for vendors - they already knew the best ones within my price range. Brittany was truly a joy to work with and was always happy and energetic, even when I was nervous. Brittany planned and coordinated everything so perfectly that my family and I really just got to show up and experience my wedding day along without any stress or drama. I would 100% recommend working with Modern Rebel and Brittany no matter what your style or vision is, but especially for alternative couples looking to throw non-traditional weddings. They make no assumptions about what a wedding "needs" to be, and full heartedly throw themselves into creating the day and the party that you want. 13/10 would recommend 😻

Modern Rebel was absolutely incredible. From finding the venue to creating and managing the budget to executing every personal detail on our wishlist, Caitlin, Michelle and the entire Modern Rebel team made sure everything went off without a hitch. They took care of us through all the ups and downs with patience, warmth, and generosity. We always felt safe in their hands and always trusted their recommendations and guidance. They were happy to hear out any of our requests or thoughts and ensured the event we had dreamed up could become a beautiful reality. Anyone would be lucky to work with Modern Rebel with a special shout out to Caitlin Godfrey and Michelle Angelosanto.

We picked Modern Rebel based on a recommendation from a friend and they did not disappoint. They were thoughtful, attentive, creative, organized, and generally stellar at making our wedding, or in their parlance love party, dreams come true. We were consistently impressed with how well structured their planning process is from the initial detail oriented surveys meant to capture our specific aesthetic desires to thoughtful and well run meetings throughout the process, Brittany was a superstar. Michelle’s plans perfectly captured our unique style starting from her very first vibe book all the way through to the final results. The vendors we were matched with were out of this world in both design and quality, and we could not have asked for a better team to make our day special. You know your wedding planners rule when you wish they were the ones running your work meetings. If Brittany ran all of our meetings, our lives would be so much more organized. We cannot thank the Modern Rebel team enough for everything they did for us. We wholeheartedly and without reservation recommend Modern Rebel to anyone planning a love party of their own.

We were lucky to work with Cait as our month-of coordinator from Modern Rebel. She adeptly handled all our day-of tasks, keeping us on schedule and making sure things went off without any issues. Cait handled everything that came up day of. Although it was her first time leading an event at our venue, she handled any challenges and was able to give us guidance on how to set up the event. Overall, we were happy with Cait's services and recommend her to other couples looking for a wedding coordinator!

My wife and I had such an amazing love party, and if it weren't for Amy and her team our brains would have imploded under the stress of putting it all together. The Modern Rebel team played every role imaginable, vendor sourcers, designers, therapists, and more, to help us get to the finish line. Everything was taken care of on the day and came together beautifully, and our only job was to enjoy it and make wonderful memories with our family and friends. What else could you ask for? Thanks for everything!

Huge thanks to Molly and Mina at Modern Rebel for everything they did to make our October 2023 wedding magical. Modern Rebel was recommended by our venue — the two had worked together many times before, which was apparent from the get-go. Together, our venue and Modern Rebel were a well-oiled machine. We started working with Molly as our primary wedding coordinator about a month out, but even before the 30-day mark, she was open to answering some of our preliminary questions. I was a pretty anxious bride, in part because we were merging families from two cultures and there were a lot of high expectations. It was hard for me to "let go" a little, and Molly was very flexible and went with the flow with whatever we needed — if I had to double check something myself, if I had another extra question, etc. At the same time, Molly very gently reminded me a couple times that essentially it was okay for me to relax a little and that she would take care of vendor communication: "That's what we are here for." On the day of, Molly took the reins from the moment she arrived. She put out fires and came up with solutions to problems behind the scenes in ways that we didn't even know about until later. For example, my sister had a babysitter who had to eat her vendor meal earlier than anticipated, and Molly was immediately on it to make sure that she got her food even though it was a stressful change to the schedule. She was cool-headed when she let us know that the kitchen was behind on serving dinner, and because she was coolheaded, we were, too. Even though dinner took a little longer than anticipated, we actually got back on track with our schedule, even after we asked for 10 extra minutes to do toasts with our guests at their tables. Another issue that arose: Despite all of the things we remembered to bring (curling iron, Band-Aids, extra pens, etc.), we completely forgot our sparklers!! I was fully prepared to accept the possibility that we might just need to have our guests wave their hands in celebration for our exit at the end of the night, but somehow Molly and our venue worked together to find sparklers elsewhere in town! They definitely went above and beyond to make our dreams come true. Thank you, Molly and Modern Rebel!

We owe all our thanks to Modern Rebel from the bottom of our hearts for making our wedding the best day of our lives. We know it’s cliche, and maybe another day might replace it down the road, but our Love Party was truly the most special day we’ve ever had. Modern Rebel made that happen for us, and in such a short amount of time. We could not have pulled this wedding off without them, plain and simple. The finished product was beyond our wildest dreams and the process itself of planning with their team is so easy and also seriously fun! They hooked us up with the most amazing people; DJ, flowers, photographer, videographer, hair and makeup, bus service, cake-- the list goes on. Everyone they trusted, we trusted, and it all worked out seamlessly. They designed something so unique and so us and really listened to everything we wanted. Modern Rebel made everything so easy for us and made it look effortless which we know it was not. We have to imagine they carried so much stress behind the scenes, making sure everything was taken care of, without ever letting us feel any of that stress, and that is a truly magical quality and what makes Modern Rebel invaluable to the process. As two jaded New Yorkers, we put our trust in them implicitly from start to finish, which is really saying something. And it paid off. We had multiple people tell us the night of the wedding, and even a week after, that our wedding was the most beautiful celebration of love and joy that they’d ever witnessed. If you want to plan the best party of your dreams, and feel heard and supported and taken care of throughout the entire process, and work with the coolest team with the best approach to 'wedding planning', go with Modern Rebel. Best decision you can make. p.s. the entire organization is great but if you have the chance to work with Amy Shack Egan, Michelle Angelosanto, or Caitlin Godfrey, DO IT. DO IT NOW.

Molly is a gift from the universe and made our day run so smoothly that I got to enjoy every moment! I might be the only bride in the world who didn't notice a single thing going wrong during their wedding– and I attribute that entirely to Molly and Shaine. S/o for dealing with my my mother, traveling/swimming torrential flood on Friday, and getting us through so we could have the most magical day! We couldn't recommend Molly & the Modern Rebel team more. (And attached is a photo of me and Molly laughing about something to show how amazing she truly is!)

we had Brittany and Michelle as our planner / designer team and all I can say is they are THE BEST. Our wedding would’ve not happen and been such a happy day as it was if it weren’t for them. Planing a bicultural wedding with a lot of foreign elements (and family) is not an easy task but they made it feel like a breeze. Our wedding was the day NYC was flooding and everything in the city was absolute chaos, but our wedding went as smooth as it could go and that is mostly thanks to Modern Rebel and all the awesome team that made it happen. They took care of every detail and gave us so much peace! I hear a lot of stressful stories from people planning weddings and honestly all I can think of our planning process is how much I’ll miss the monthly meetings! Modern Rebel are amongst the most creative, considerate, organized, detailed oriented, and supportive people I’ve found in the wedding industry. Can’t recommend enough.

Wow! Wow! Wow! Those are the first three words that come to mind when I think of Modern Rebel and Brittany our Lead Event Planner. Our entire experience with Brittany and Modern Rebel was wonderful from our initial meeting until the band played the last note. We were initially drawn to Modern Rebel because during our search for a wedding planner we found that we shared so many of the same values. Diversity, Inclusivity, emphasis on community and most importantly- embracing breaking the traditional rules of a wedding. We also were having our wedding in a raw space so we knew we needed an experienced planner that could handle all the logistics, tiny details and guide us through the entire process. When we met Brittany we immediately had a connection with her. She was warm, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. Throughout the year as we worked more and more with her, we realized what we had initially suspected- she was an event planning Jedi! Brittany knew the venue we were getting married in very well and she really helped us understand the process and what we needed to get done and when we needed to get it done by. We went through a really fun design process that Brittany and Modern Rebel's in house designer, Michelle, took us through so they could fully understand the vibe and look we were going for. One of the most valuable aspects of Modern Rebel was the vendor matching. From live bands to florists they did much of the research for us and presented us with narrowed down choices and comparisons for any vendors that we needed. All of the vendors that we hired based on Brittany's recommendation were top notch experienced professionals. There is fantastic attention to and respect of the budget. Throughout the entire planning process there was excellent and constant communication through emails, zoom meetings, text messages and some in person meetings. We always felt comfortable to tell Brittany our non-traditional ideas. She was always supportive and willing to give her honest and open point of view. We honestly felt like we were only clients. The day of our wedding was beautiful. We had high expectations and every single one was exceeded. The design was breath- taking (Disco Ball Chuppah included)! Brittany made sure that we just had to show up for our wedding and everything (and I mean everything) was taken care of. There was not one hiccup and if there was one she took care of it without us knowing. She kept us calm and focused on what was important, enjoying and celebrating the day. She orchestrated and executed the time-line brilliantly, Modern Rebel & Brittany made us feel cared for, understood, and important. Entrusting Modern Rebel to plan and execute our wedding one of our best decisions!

We were lucky enough to work with Molly and Shaine from Modern Rebel as "day-of" coordinators for our August 2023 wedding. Molly took over all vendor communications starting 30 days before our event. Molly inspired instant trust with her obvious expertise and clarity about the process. She gave clear schedules for when things would happen and alerted us to a huge oversight in our planning process until then. We were provided with clear and thorough forms and tables to fill out; it was obvious how completely the Modern Rebel team thinks about event planning. The day of organization was so comprehensive I literally felt like a wedding guest and had to try to remember it was my wedding. Molly handled several unexpected happenings the day of (e.g., gale force winds, a collapsed cake, etc.) with verve, always coming to us with clear descriptions of the issue and a solution already in motion or the exact thing we needed from her "emergency kit." We have since heard tons of stories from guests about the variety of things Molly handled for them that we weren't even aware of. Last, but not at all least, Molly is a singularly delightful person who added such enthusiasm to the process and validated all our ridiculous wedding ideas. Working with her was not only indispensable for our wedding day, it was an absolute pleasure.

Cait Godfrey at Modern Rebel was a godsend of a day-of coordinator for our August wedding reception. Cait quickly got to know us and our needs, and made our celebration happen exactly as we envisioned it. She made us feel comfortable as soon as she got involved in the process, and took so much work off of our plates that we felt almost guilty gliding into our reception without a care. We had a pretty lightweight reception, but we still got hands-on care that made us feel special. The quality of Cait's work stood out head-and-shoulders above what we've seen from other wedding coordinators. No matter what your vision, or where your event, Cait and the Modern Rebel team are undoubtedly among the best in the business. Look no further!

This is so beyond overdue, but you're gonna want to read this review - My husband and I are wedding professionals, we have a photography and videography business and have been working in the wedding industry for almost a decade. When I tell you I can count on 1 hand the number of planners I like, even that might be an exaggeration. But Modern Rebel is by far, my favorite wedding planning team! Amy has become my friend over the years of working together and collaborating on projects and it was such an incredible experience to have her coordinate our weekend-long wedding upstate (with ZERO cell service). Her kindness, professionalism and her ability to make everything seem like its running smoothly, even if its not, is so incredible. Not to mention the business, community and safe space she's built in this industry. Modern Rebel is as close to perfect as you can get. They prioritize the relationships over the wedding itself, have such a wide breadth of wedding experience that they're ready for anything, and they hire the COOLEST people - I have worked with so many folks from the Modern Rebel team like Ainsley, Brittany, Chelsea and so many others and each an every one of these people are so damn good at what they do. The overall mission of MR to highlight inclusion, equality and relationships is beyond what you could hope for in your wedding planner. The year we got married was one of the busiest we have ever had in our business and it would have been impossible to pull off the wedding weekend of our dreams without Modern Rebel. Thank you Amy, thank you team MR and thank the universe for bringing us together. Hire them. Even if you don't think you need a planner, or a coordinator, you do. The stress of planning everything yourself isn't worth it. Hiring Modern Rebel is worth every single penny. If you're trying to have a fun, non-traditional and unique wedding, there's no one better to help you make that happen.

Modern Rebel made all our wedding dreams a reality and did so with such a thoughtful approach. Brittany was our lead planner and she is so on top of every detail! We spent a year working together and my (now) husband and I felt like we never had to worry about whether we missed something. She and the team helped us find the right vendors and made the logistics an ease. The event designer, Michelle helped us bring our ideas to life and created an event that really felt unique to us. With Modern Rebel you can trust your event is in the best hands. Thank you for pulling off our epic wedding!

Ahh, posting this a whole year after the wedding and we feel terrible because we had such a phenomenal experience with Brit and the team at Modern Rebel. We brought Modern Rebel in for coordination and it was everything we could have hoped for. Brit made us feel at ease with a well-defined 60-day and day-of schedule, she thought of absolutely everything, and she made sure everything ran smoothly the day of. She even advocated for us to get our money back when the venue screwed us over. Absolutely would recommend Brit and Modern Rebel, they're worth every penny.

We would highly recommend Modern Rebel and especially our planner/day of coordinator Cait Godfrey. We were wedding planner skeptics and this service was worth EVERY PENNY! Cait made our wedding day completely seamless - if there were any issues we nor our guests learned of them because Cait was so organized and professional. People talk about weddings as stressful events but Cait made sure we were able to do what we really wanted to do on our wedding day, which was celebrate our relationship and have fun with our community. In addition to being organized, Cait and the Modern Rebel team made excellent recommendations for vendors, listened to and met our needs, and made us feel affirmed and celebrated for our interfaith lesbian wedding. Please hire them for your wedding and we know they will make your day as special as ours was.

We cannot thank the Modern Rebel team enough for everything they did to make our love party feel truly perfect. Working with Molly and Cait made our lives leading up to the big day so much easier and gave us total peace of mind while also making the day itself run completely smoothly. Molly was always professional, well organized, thoughtful and easy to reach. She was always open-minded and supportive about what we were looking for, making the day feel like it was truly about us, rather than checking the boxes of traditional wedding details. What separates Molly and Modern Rebel is their genuine care and enthusiasm for the couples they work with. They brought so much positivity and joy that made it feel like they were always rooting for us and on our team the whole way. If you're looking for the best team for your wedding, look no further than Modern Rebel.

Wedding planning is hard, and when we realized we were in over our heads, we reached out to Modern Rebel for some help. We connected with the lovely Amy Shack Egan and felt at ease with her and her team right away, leading to our easiest and most enthusiastic yes of the wedding planning process. We opted for partial planning as we found them later in our planning process. Though, I’m sure we would have likely really benefited from the full planning services had we found them sooner. Even so, we felt so supported in every way imaginable by the Modern Rebel team from contract advisement, to advice on tricky family dynamics, to recommending stellar vendors, to every little thing you didn’t think of, but they did. Though, the true standout in our time working with Modern Rebel has to be working with the incredible Cait Godfrey who was our wedding + day of coordinator. Cait is a force of nature who was so incredibly thorough, competent and meticulous that we never even had the chance to doubt that she had everything in hand. She was also so kind and gracious with us in the month before our wedding with all our MANY questions and concerns. Both me and my partner run a little anxious (like clinically), and my biggest fear for our wedding day was being worried over all of the details on the day and not being able to actually enjoy it. We can honestly say our wedding day was the best day of our lives and we were able to enjoy every second of it (and even the days leading up to it) knowing that we were in such great hands with Cait and her team. That is the greatest wedding gift we could have ever hoped for and we’re so incredibly grateful to Cait, Amy and the entire Modern Rebel team for giving us that. There are so many practical reasons we’re glad we chose Modern Rebel, but the peace of mind they gave us is the reason we can’t recommend them highly enough, and you can’t put a price on that. Thank you again, Modern Rebel team, for quite literally making our dreams come true!

Numerous times throughout the planning process, my husband and I said to each other that Brittany and Modern Rebel were the best money we could’ve spent. First let me say that outside of being our wedding planner, we spent so much time with Britany and Michelle that they started to become like family. All my friends and knew their names, at the wedding everyone wanted to meet Brittany and I’m still getting comments about how great she was. Brittany and Michelle literally took every single outlandish (what i thought was outlandish) idea we had that wouldn’t really made out wedding feel like OUR wedding and brought it to life, but in an even better way than either of us could’ve imagined. Brittany literally saved the day MULTIPLE times throughout the process… when we found out 6 months before the wedding our venue was closing, Brittany found us another venue for the same date and we were abel to keep all of our vendors. I didn’t want a bouquet, so they got me a balloon. Our tattoo artist pulled out, up until a day before the wedding Brittany was still working with another artist (it was too last min for her to get a COI in time). For our desserts, we were having ice cream from Ample Hills, 4-5 months before the wedding we found out they closed and didn’t tell anyone. Brittany found us the original vendors and they were able to come to the wedding. What i loved about Brittany and Michelle was that nothing was a big deal, even if it actually was, they never made me feel like they were panicking or things weren’t under control, even when i needed to completely reorder all my invitations because i put the wrong stamps on. Everything was doable and I already miss them. I would 1000% recommend Brittany, Michelle and Modern Rebel every. single. time.

Working with Cait and Modern Rebel was ESSENTIAL to our wedding day. We had Cait as our month of coordinator and she immediately got a lay of the land, took much of the decision making and logistics finessing off our plate, and was indispensable on the wedding day itself. Cait had the timeline, layout, and all the moving parts under control so my wife (!) and I could let go of all the planning elements and be fully present for each other and our loved ones in what was the best day ever. Hiring Modern Rebel was a top tier wedding planning decision. And Cait helped pull off our big day so smoothly and thoughtfully. We are very grateful for Modern Rebel and Cait!!!

I am so glad we found Modern Rebel!! We hired them for day-of coordination, which included communication with our coordinator (Caitlin!! Our rock and our lifesaver!!!) for 30 days prior to our wedding, but the materials they provide to all of their couples was helpful through our entire planning process! They were the second vendor we booked after our venue, and I'm so glad because their welcome packet included a planning timeline that we treated like a BIBLE and a list of recommended vendors which we used to find like 90% of our vendors. Our respect for them and their process only grew once we started meeting with Caitlin 30 days out. Caitlin took the many different puzzle pieces that we had gathered and made them fit together so perfectly which was our biggest concern going into an event that was so much bigger than anything I or my partner had ever planned before. She took the time to familiarize herself with our needs and hopes for our big day in a way that made us feel so cared for and supported. Our wedding was so incredibly perfect and magical and a huge part of that was how smoothly it ran thanks to Caitlin and Modern Rebel. About a week before the wedding, I had a moment where I realized that I could stop being so super stressed, because I felt confident that we were in good hands and that all the little details were going to be taken care of. Being able to let go of that stress really made the days leading up to our wedding so much more enjoyable, and I'm so thankful for that. But perhaps the highest recommendation came from one the members of my bridal party, who is 1000% single and has been for a while, who by the end of the evening was demanding that Caitlin coordinate for his entirely hypothetical wedding to someone someday. Thank you so much to Caitlin and the entire MR team!!

I can’t believe it’s been almost a year since the actual best day of our lives, but I finally wanted to share our gratitude and praise for the fabulous Brittany Ward at Modern Rebel!!! Like many other couples, we were also part of the COVID wedding chaos. We had not one, not two, not three, but FOUR rescheduled wedding dates from 2020-2022 🙃 Despite the frustration, sadness and many mental breakdowns, the Modern Rebel team was always there to guide us through what seemed like the never ending cycle of unfortunate events. Leading up to the wedding Brittany was super responsive, made sure we had our ducks in a row and was working in the weeds (i.e 10000 email chains) to make sure everything was ready for the *big day*. When it finally arrived, Brittany was there to calm my nerves and get the show on the road. She runs a tight ship and made sure to keep both bridal parties and all family members in check without missing a beat. Brittany was an integral part of our “love party” as the MR team calls it, and we truly cannot thank her enough for her help and guidance through it all! If we could do it all over again we would do it the same way every time!! Leave the planning to the professionals and hire the baddest babes in the game. Thank you a million times over Brittany and the Modern Rebel team, y’all are the BEST!💕

Hiring Modern Rebel for our coordination was the best decision we made regarding planning our wedding. Our coordinator, Brit Pooler, was an absolute star. Our biggest cheerleader, an icon of competence, confidence and calm. A superstar who makes it look easy and does it with grace and a great attitude, Brit and her MR cohort made our wedding experience so special and easy. They are consummate professionals who are there to make your love party dreams come true, and we felt the love in every detail. If you want you and your friends and family to truly be guests at your love party / wedding, Modern Rebel is the way to go! I am genuinely a Brit Pooler stan now - she is INCREDIBLE.

Modern Rebel and Brittany specifically were an absolute dream team! Our wedding brought to life the true nature of our relationship and we couldn't have done it without our planning team. I appreciate Brittany's attention to detail, advocacy for her clients, and clear professionalism and expertise in the space. I chose Modern Rebel because their values and their commitment to doing things differently and authentically really shines through. Brittany, her commitment to us and our perfect day, and her strong relationships with every vendor made planning our wedding while balance two demanding full-time jobs much more manageable than we feared. I mean, it was FUN! Thank you, Brittany, and Modern Rebel, for everything!!!

We worked with Molly from Modern Rebel for day of coordinating and she was an absolute delight. She made us feel so relieved and was such a calming, grounding presence the day of the wedding. Also her positivity was just unmatched - even my family was so grateful to her and vocal about how much they appreciated having her work with us.

We worked with Molly from Modern Rebel for our month-of coordinator for our wedding. She was such a pleasure to work with and have alongside us on our wedding day. She helped us create our day-of timeline, and was seamlessly in the background on the day-of to make sure everything went smoothly with the schedule and with all of our other vendors. We were so impressed with how well paced our entire evening was, and we are so thankful for everything Molly did to ensure a smooth party where we didn’t have to worry about a thing. My husband and I were so in the moment the entire night which is everything you can hope for on such a special occasion. We cannot recommend working with Modern Rebel enough!

We absolutely loved working with Charlotte and the Modern Rebel team for our wedding at The Castle by Marlow Events in Red Hook, Brooklyn. As a recovering event manager myself, I knew that we needed some extra help day-of, and I’m SO glad we did. We would have been absolutely lost without Charlotte. Not only did she allow us to fully unplug and be in the moment (not having to worry about vendors, timelines, or anything basically), she was a pleasure to have around. The day went off without a hitch (even when someone showed up with an uninvited extra guest), and that’s 100% because of Charlotte. So grateful for her help and highly recommend the Modern Rebel team to anyone considering. You will not regret the budget spent on this. It was truly worth every penny.

I cannot recommend Modern Rebel & Co enough! They helped so much by stepping in during the last 30 days of planning/the day of the event. Brit & Kate were the 2 event coordinators assigned to my wedding and they were absolute rock stars. Every person who worked with them only had the nicest things to say. They were on top of everything, professional and courteous, and really allowed for us to actually enjoy the day of our wedding. Total experts at what they do – we really could not have pulled off such a successful event without their support. Thank you again for everything!

We hired Modern Rebel and worked with Charlotte as our month of coordinator. She was super organized, attentive, and really knew the right questions to ask us as well as the coordinators at our venue. We don't know what we would've done with her! Would highly recommend modern rebel and Charlotte

We absolutely loved working with Modern Rebel and Molly. The lead up coordination was so seamless and we really felt like Molly was so excited for us to have our love party and to be our biggest cheerleader for our big day. There is no question that we wouldn't have had as incredible of a time with friends and family without Molly. The night was everything we could have asked for and truly everything went off SO perfectly. And Modern Rebel and Molly did everything to make the night unique to us. So amazing.

Amy and the Modern Rebel team are simply marvelous! Amy held our hand through every step of the process. When we told her we wanted a reception with couches, cannabis, video games, and no dance floor, she embraced the challenge enthusiastically! Her creativity and expertise helped craft a special day that reflects who we are as a couple. I can’t emphasize how much we appreciate all the effort Amy, Chelsea, and the rest of the team put in because it wasn’t just a special day; it was the perfect day, and it wouldn’t have happened without them.

Modern Rebel and Amy were amazing, we can’t say enough praise about them. Amy worked with us for over a year, guiding us through big decisions and helping us visualize our ideas with all the amazing vendors. When we first met with Amy, we thought we had challenging criteria, we wanted a huge modern, well-designed space, an insane dance party and to have as many BIPOC & women-owned businesses as possible. Modern Rebel delivered exactly that, pairing us up with amazing vendors, designers, and performers and helping us find moments to make it feel exclusively ‘us’ in the process. We told people the whole time that planning our wedding would have been impossible without her. One thing we will really miss is our monthly check-ins and having someone be so present with us while planning such a special day for ourselves and our families. Amy is calm and always knows what to do, and she can be straight with you which is so important. All her colleagues also step in and assist whenever needed, which is seamless, and shows it is a really well-run company. We recommend Modern Rebel 100% and for those who can do it, we suggest the full planning service! It’s fun and well worth it. Thank you Amy, Cait, and the whole Modern Rebel team! We’re still hearing kind words from our friends and family about what a blast they had. :) Casie & Tyler

My husband and I got married via private ceremony and had our larger reception/party a few weeks later. Because we did things a bit untraditionally, we were on the fence about even hiring a day-of wedding planner for the reception part. Once we came across Modern Rebel, however, we knew they were the right team for us. Their no-one-size-fits-all approach to our day made us feel right at home, and Brit and the team were kind, supportive, organized, and thoughtful at every step of the way. Everything ran incredibly smoothly at the reception and we felt like guests at our own party, which was exactly what we wanted. My husband and I are still in disbelief that the most fun, unique, and beautiful wedding we attended was ours! Highly highly recommend.

Can't recommend Modern Rebel enough. From the monthly check-ins to email responsiveness, they were a truly professional company and pleasure to work with. Amy is awesome. When she unfortunately got sick near our wedding date , another member from the team (Cait is awesome too) stepped in and it was an extremely seamless transition and everything went off without a hitch. A+ group.

Could not possibly recommend the teams' services any higher! We feel so grateful to have worked with Amy and her team through this process. We started the wedding process ambivalent and fearing being pushed into traditions that didn’t feel right for us. Conceptually, Amy worked with us to figure out exactly what fit our personalities and how we wanted to celebrate this milestone. On a logistic level, from the very beginning, Amy took all the stress off of us - she took care of every last detail, anticipated needs, and helped us talk through our disagreements and lack of understanding. Most importantly, though, is Amy and her team as people. We absolutely adored working with them, we miss talking with Amy (though admittedly, do not miss planning a wedding) and really hope we will continue to be in touch. At our event weekend itself, dozens of people said to us - this is perfect, it is so you two, and the best wedding we’ve ever been to! We agree and have Modern Rebel to thank!

Can't overstate how amazing Modern Rebel was. We weren't a conventional couple (I proposed to my now-husband) and we knew we didn't want a conventional wedding. But we didn't really know what that might look like. Modern Rebel--specifically Amy and Adriana--were exactly what we needed: kind, thoughtful, open-minded, fun, creative, organized, and very experienced. Their insights were invaluable, and they were such incredible partners in helping us design a wedding that felt like *us*. No cookie-cutter pulled-from-Pinterest ideas, or "shoulds" about how we should do the ceremony or the reception. It's clear that this is a team that's not just passionate about parties, but passionate about people and the power of love; everything the Modern Rebel team does really seems to be rooted in the thing that got you planning a wedding in the first place: your relationship. Once we were out of the planning phase and into the coordination phase, they took care of EVERYTHING--and we had multiple vendors comment to us how organized and communicative they were. It's been a few months since our wedding and we still have friends and family tell us how special ours was; it was with Modern Rebel's help that we were able to capture the essence of our relationship and turn it into one big celebration. Whether you're an unconventional couple, looking to add depth and meaning to your wedding, or just looking to throw a wild party and don't want to have to deal with all the details, you'll find that the Modern Rebel team will help you plan the part of your dreams.

We hired Modern Rebel for month-of coordination services for our recent wedding and had a fantastic experience working with them. From the first few moments of our kick-off call with our coordinator Brit, we immediately felt a lot calmer and knew that everything would come together thanks to her help!! She had an answer to every question, was always so many steps ahead of us, helped us navigate a few last minute changes, and was the most calming presence throughout the whole month leading up to the wedding and the day of so that we could be completely in the moment and enjoy every second of our wedding! We highly recommend Modern Rebel, especially Brit!

Simply put, we cannot imagine having gotten married without the help of Modern Rebel. We opted for full-planning and Amy kept us on track every step of the way, thinking of all the things we never would have thought of and keeping a very disorganized couple as organized as possible. Her system is so reassuring -- we couldn't have imagined the number of moving parts involved in throwing the wedding, and she helped us to remember every single piece, from the design to tracking guests and invites to applying for a marriage license. Amy was already booked on our wedding date, which meant we got to work with Charlotte starting a month out. She kept us rolling and was with us on the wedding day, making sure we were guests at our own wedding. We had the best weekend of our lives, and so appreciate our alliance with Modern Rebel -- would recommend them to anyone who asked.

Amy and the Modern Rebel team were an absolute joy to work with. We were definitely not the "easiest" clients in terms of responsiveness and strong opinions. But they somehow took care of all of the details, kept us on a reasonable timeline, and were somehow able to deliver an incredible wedding experience that felt precisely "us." From the initial meetings to the day-of coordination and beyond, Modern Rebel was the perfect partner for our perfect day.

Modern Rebel was amazing from start to finish. Molly was so organized and handled coordinating everything so the day of went smoothly. She's so sweet and helped make our wedding day so perfect. I can't recommend them enough.

Modern Rebel in general, and Adriana in particular, were absolutely stellar. My understanding from our friends who have also wed is that we were fairly unusual clients--not very particular about many normal things, and somewhat fussy about some idiosyncratic ones. Adriana, Britt, and the rest of their team were polite, helpful, communicative, had great bedside manner, rolled with the changes, mollified and worked around a prickly vendor, radiated calm and composure to us and our entire party (that's important! stressed-out people beget stressed-out people!), and the event came off without a hitch. Kudos to them, and can't recommend them enough.

Working with Modern Rebel for our wedding was truly the best decision we could have made! Amy (Modern Rebel founder and our head planner/coordinator) and her team (Adriana for planning, Brit for day-of) enabled us to create wedding events that were truly “us”, not anyone else’s definition of what a wedding should be. While we were excited to get married, neither of us felt very connected to a lot of wedding traditions, which is why we chose Modern Rebel to help us craft our celebration. They helped us design a casual, intimate ceremony with no march down an aisle and lots of family and friends participation and then a rocking cocktail-style party, exactly what we wanted. For the planning phase Modern Rebel made the planning process actually fun instead of stressful. For the actual event coordination, Amy and her team were truly rockstars! Our goal was to have the most fun possible at all of our wedding events and we really did. We did not worry at all about any of the details on the week of the wedding, we completely got to relax and enjoy the experience. Amy handled several day-of bumps (some we were aware of, like a surprise rain shower, and probably many more we had no idea about) completely seamlessly and with confidence, enabling us to spend the time before the party getting ready with our friends without any worries. Finally, Amy and her team were always on the lookout for little extra ways to make our day special and easy, and these really mattered. For example, when I popped into the restroom just before the ceremony, Brit ran to grab my bouquet so I could have it as I re-entered the space for the ceremony, adding a beautiful touch to the effortless and casual ceremony entrance I had planned. Amy also mailed our signed marriage license for us after the ceremony - one less thing to worry about!

Wow! Our wedding day and the month leading up couldn't have been easier and that is greatly due to the help of Brittany at Modern Rebel. We hired her for day of coordination and she seamlessly picked up right where we left off with planning. She worked so well with each of our vendors and made sure to be on top of everything leading up to our big day! She was also just the sweetest and easiest person to work with. Her calmness, organization and follow through made me stress free throughout the entire day.

I cannot say enough good things about Brittany and Molly and the MR team. We had so many vendors that she managed all coordination with, but most importantly the day of the wedding (despite Brittany working numerous other wedding celebrations that week) she gave it 200% at all times and made the day run smoother than smooth. Her ability to just make things happen and work out any kink without me having to stress out about it. She was professional, organized, responsive, calming, kind, timely, and just great. The time and money you spend with MR you get back 10 fold with an amazing experience- I would recommend you get them asap for your event!!

We used Modern Rebel as our month-of coordinator and enthusiastically recommend them if you are planning an NYC wedding. From the initial meeting to the final day, Brittany Ward was detail-oriented, conscientious and enthusiastic; planning a wedding involves a lot of moving parts (especially a wedding that got pandemic-postponed twice) and there was no part of the process that didn't feel like it was expertly handled. We just had our actual wedding day and it was a dream. We actually got to enjoy ourselves and experience the event as something fun and not stressful. A+, no notes!!

We hired Modern Rebel for month of coordination. We worked with Charlotte as our coordinator, who was absolutely wonderful. My fiancé was somewhat skeptical about the need for a coordinator but he has since admitted he was completely wrong. We had a very DIY wedding and Charlotte helped ensure it still felt like us while adding some structure. She was critical in pulling together all the last minute items we forgot and on the wedding day was a complete rockstar. We didn't need to worry about thing knowing she was making sure everything was running smoothly. There were definitely some bumps on the day but she handled them swiftly and often figured out a way to make the moment better than we imagined. Can not thank her and the Modern Rebel team enough!

We hired the Modern Rebel team for month-of coordination and some partial planning services -- since we started planning at the height of COVID, we needed some help finding our reception band and a second venue (for the "reception"/dance party portion of our wedding). Both were well worth the investment. Amy helped with the partial planning services and she gave us several options for each vendor that hit the mark and that we would not have found ourselves, including the vendors we ultimately booked that were perfect for what we wanted. Charlotte was our head coordinator and she was fantastic. She is clearly very experienced, communicative and flexible, so kind and lovely to work with, but firm when she needed to be (which is a must!). She made sure that things stayed true to our vision, but was happy to offer advice or suggestions. In the month leading up to the wedding (which I learned would be the most daunting and stressful planning period for me), she kept us on track and helped navigate the final steps of planning. One of many examples: we had some vendor schedule challenges pop up last minute, and Charlotte quickly removed me from the equation and handled it directly with the vendors -- I LOVED THIS. The feeling of totally letting go and having Charlotte 100% manage the day of was invaluable. I fully trusted Charlotte to do her thing and she did not disappoint - our wedding day was perfect!

We worked with Adriana as our month-of coordinator, and she absolutely is responsible for how amazing of a wedding we had. Her attention to detail and completeness in her planning--while not overwhelming us with too many communications--meant that we were free to enjoy the day and not worry about any of the logistics. And I say this as someone who was skeptical that we needed a coordinator: WE ABSOLUTELY DID and Modern Rebel ABSOLUTELY delivered. Especially in uncertain COVID times, Adriana helped us create and execute a plan that made us and our guests feel safe, and we all got to party exactly was we wanted to. You absolutely cannot go wrong with Adriana and Modern Rebel.

When we were initially planning our wedding, we debated whether or not using a planner/coordinator was worth it. After going through the entire process, we emphatically think that not only is it important to use a service like this, but it's important to use the best. And with Modern Rebel, you absolutely get the best. The entire process was incredibly smooth, added significant value and enjoyment to our planning and day-of experience, and was worth every single dollar as an investment. From our initial call with the Modern Rebel team we were blown away by their expertise, contacts, and genuine care that we get what we wanted out of our special day. After signing up with MR, we were connected with our planner, Adriana, who was everything you'd hope for in a wedding planner. Empathetic, friendly, detail-oriented, and a true ally during the process. From quick questions through to developing a robust timeline for our wedding day, she was in lockstep with our vision and helped us understand the "things you don't know you don't know". There's so much that goes into planning a wedding and our calls with her were so illuminating and helped us hone our hopes for the day into a workable plan that made everything run smoothly. A side note was that we were planning our wedding from a significant distance and yet it never felt like that was a hindrance because of Adriana's passion for planning the best event possible. She met us when we were fresh off airplanes and trains and was always willing to do whatever it took to get the job done. On the day of, she was joined by her colleague Sarah who immediately rolled up her sleeves and helped manage our event to perfection. Being able to trust that they would manage the day and troubleshoot any problems, my husband and I were able to immerse ourselves fully in our once-in-a-lifetime day and be truly present. At the end of the night when Adriana was leaving, we were genuinely sad to say goodbye but just so grateful to have worked with her. Modern Rebel prides itself on helping keep couples focused on the true meaning of their event and we can say that our "love party" was everything we wanted for ourselves and our guests. Highly, highly recommended.

We worked with Charlotte as our month-of coordinator and could not be happier with that decision! After postponing our big party a year, a lot of details and follow-ups were piling up and I was seriously procrastinating. I was losing steam and excitement after our engagement turned into three+ years of planning. Charlotte came in and gave us the help and assurance we needed to get to the finish line. She gave us the space to get excited and actually have fun. She was so communicative and kind, and I felt like she really understood us as a couple. Everything went so well, and I had truly no concerns the entire day of! Thank you, Charlotte!

Working with Adriana and Modern Rebel made our wedding planning process stress-free and enjoyable. Our wedding day went off without a hitch and we attribute that to Adriana's professionalism, attention to detail, and flexibility. Her guidance on both the creative and logistical aspects of our ceremony and reception was invaluable. We recommend Modern Rebel and Adriana to absolutely anyone going through the wedding planning process!

It was such a pleasure working with Adriana and the Modern Rebel team for our April 2022 wedding! Adriana made us feel confident and at easy with every single detail - from timeline to wedding set up and run-of-show. I never felt stressed in the months leading up to our wedding and I can truly say that a lot of that can be attributed to this team. Cannot recommend their services enough!

Brittany + Modern Rebel were PERFECTION! HIRE them NOW! Brittany is so brilliant at what she does, she makes her job look easy when it is anything but. She executed our special day with absolute precision and grace. I cannot thank her + Modern Rebel enough for their incredible support, guidance, professionalism, and cheer.

Brittany with Modern Rebel was the absolute best!! She went above and beyond to make sure everything went to smooth, even when I myself ran late to both the rehearsal and the ceremony!! She was so personable and sweet. She communicated every single detail with all of my venders and really took the stress away!
