Ness McGovern Events & Design

event the best possible was worth it. Ness was the best wedding planner! She is not only an amazing talented professional, she’s also such a wonderful, authentic, and genuine person. She made the whole process of planning our wedding upbeat and positive - she was our cheerleader from day 1. Through all of the outside stress that comes with wedding planning, Ness made herself available to spend all the time we needed from her (which was approx. 60-90 mins. on Zoom per week for full planning services. From every vendor she recommended to every small detail, everything was so amazing. Ness, we love you and we are forever grateful! We can’t get over of how perfect was our wedding day was!

feeling at ease & happy! We will definitely use her in the future ❤️

t done was myself, my mom and my besties. Enter actual wedding nightmares! Once I connected with and hired Ness the nightmares of a sad empty tent instantly went away. She listened to all of my hopes and dreams over the course of the next few months and was there that day to execute them. The day was flawless and could not have happened without Ness on scene! Forever grateful for all of her time and effort into making our day a 12/10!

arch/coordinate literally everything from caterers to tents and outdoor flooring to lighting to tables to linen delivery, set up, AND pick up after the event. We had a bunch of criteria we wanted to meet when working with vendors, and stressed that as a lesbian couple it was important to us to work with minority-owned businesses, and she found the most incredible vendors. She was super transparent during her research phase, and let us know why she suggested choosing/not choosing certain vendors based on budget, experience, etc. The day of was incredible. It was the most seamless event I've ever been to, and I wasn't expecting to feel that way at my own wedding. I didn't have to think about anything except getting ready and enjoying the day! I wish I could share more about what Ness did the day of, but because of how incredible she is: I don't know what she was doing! She looked happy every time I saw her, made sure everything was set up, and people were where they needed to be. She made it so that I didn't have to worry about anything or answer any questions. She was on top of literally everything. From my point of view, everything went perfectly, and it's all because of her! She made the wedding of my dreams come true. Towards the end of our planning time together, we decided to host a brunch the Sunday after our wedding and asked if should be available to help. She went above and beyond to help us on Sunday, after also managing the deliveries and set up the day before the wedding and managing everything the day of. She's an exceptional planner, and has an incredible support team. Her day-of support coordinators were just as phenomenal as Ness - you can just tell how much each of them enjoy what they do. I would highly recommend working with Ness - she's really, truly incredible.

ginning, she also provided us with a really useful list of vendor suggestions and access to the tools on Aisle Planner. Leading up to the wedding, she made final coordinations with our vendors and patiently waited with us while we waited for the rental set-up (the truck had broken down). On the day of our wedding, Ness and her assistant were instrumental in making sure the day unfolded just as we planned, freeing us to just focus on our celebration and we are grateful to her for helping us to create such a magical day.

e venue was ready. She planned out the timeline and ensured that all the vendors was handle. I was able to tell her of any little things that needed help the day of and it went so smoothly! Definitely wouldn’t have been able to pull off the wedding without her!

rful human being inside and out. She seriously helped get rid of all the stress leading up to my wedding and on the day of. She was always available to talk and help whenever I needed her. Thank you Ness for making my wedding a fairytale I truly appreciate you!

always willing to work around our schedule to make sure she could meet with us if we needed anything. She was timely and always did everything she said she would. On wedding day, Ness made sure everything went smoothly and was able to manage everyone throughout the stressful points of the day. We couldn’t be happier with our decision to work with Ness and would recommend her to anyone planning a wedding!

ftware that allowed me to map out the cost of everything, due dates, and what I had left to check off of my to-do list. We had many check-in calls leading up to the wedding date and each time I felt more and more secure that she had things under control. She went above and beyond and even helped curate decorative items for my venue, which she certainly didn't need to do. If you're thinking of hiring Ness, do yourself a favor and call her!

of our contracts, managed our relationships with vendors and was on ground the day before and the day of our wedding taking care of everything we could expect and reminding us of things we likely would have forgotten. Many wedding venues offer day-of services, which ours did, but had we not hired Ness, our wedding would not have turned out as amazing as it did. Her professionalism, attention to detail, thoughtfulness, and personality in general made her a pleasure to work with and such a vital part of pulling off our special day! I can not recommend her services more!!!

e restaurant. She did a great job even though we knew it wasn’t part of her standard job description. She set up our personal decor and made sure it was taken care of at the end of the night. I’d recommend her to anyone looking for a little event flow guidance. She also had great recommendations for vendors and when we last minute needed some additional items.

exceeded my expectations! Because of Ness the night flowed so effortlessly without any hiccups.

e for all our questions and had helpful suggestions when we were managing a difficult vendor situation. She took over all vendor communication in the month before the wedding and gave us the chance to relax! The day went super smooth, and despite it being 90+ degrees, I didn't sweat anything at all. Thanks Ness!

went smoothly because she was there to take care of it. She also has great suggestions for our floral arrangements and table decor. She wrangled all the vendors and read through our contracts to make sure we were prepared for all the fine print of having a COVID-19 era wedding. My husband was thrilled to have found perfectly portioned leftover desserts set aside for us at the end of the night as well.

planning package to help with our wedding day. She was always available to explain the process and answer our questions. She had thoughtful suggestions around tailoring our wedding to be special for us as a couple. Even though it wasn't my original wedding, it was beautiful and Ness really made it so that I felt comfortable and as relaxed as I could be on the big day. I would recommend her to anyone looking for some help! I also really loved her table settings decor ideas - major inspiration to not just do the usual and expected.
