NessaEvents Wedding Planner

o truly enjoy every moment without any worries or stress. On the wedding day, Vanessas' presence brought us an immense sense of relief. She effortlessly handled all the behind-the-scenes coordination, allowing us and our families to fully immerse ourselves in the celebration. Her calm and composed demeanor was a true asset, even during moments of unexpected challenges. She skillfully managed any last-minute changes or hiccups that arose, and their quick thinking and problem-solving abilities were impressive. One of Vanessa's standout qualities was her exceptional communication and coordination with all the vendors involved. She acted as a central point of contact, ensuring that everyone was on the same page and that everything was executed according to our vision. Her professionalism and ability to work collaboratively with the entire team were remarkable, making the entire wedding day a seamless and cohesive experience. In conclusion, we cannot thank Vanessa enough for her exceptional professionalism, meticulous planning, and flawless execution. Her presence was an absolute game-changer and made our wedding day truly unforgettable. If you're searching for a coordinator who will go above and beyond to ensure a seamless and stress-free wedding, we wholeheartedly recommend her. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our dream wedding a reality!

a few days and would be unable to service our wedding as the day of coordinator. The communication with her in the week leading up to the wedding was terrible, instead of providing the services that she promised, I was forced to contact all the other vendors and reach out to her multiple times a day for important updates that I needed to let my family members know. Letting us know an hour before our rehearsal dinner that she would not be working our wedding (after she had known for days that she wouldn’t be able to make it) threw a ton of stress onto us right before our wedding, which was extremely unprofessional and insensitive, especially given her reported years of experience working in the wedding industry. Vanessa said the reason she waited to tell us that she would not be coming was because she wanted to find a replacement, but she had not even confirmed her replacement until the morning of the wedding (after she had told us that she wouldn’t be able to make it to the wedding). Further, the replacement she provided was someone she called her “assistant,” even though we did not pay for or agree to pay the same price for the services from an assistant. Instead of offering any sort of refund for the change on her end or the stress that this caused, she ghosted us after providing the name of the assistant on the day of the wedding. While the “assistant” was a lovely person and contributed wonderfully to running our wedding, she did not fulfill the full extent of the contract that we signed with Vanessa. If it were not for multiple family members helping, then the decorations would not have been set up properly or on time. This was at no fault with the replacement; Vanessa provided the wrong arrival time (only 2 hours before the wedding when we had agreed that she would arrive 4-5 hours before the wedding to ensure enough time for set-up and to assist us with photos). Further, the replacement let us know that the vision of our wedding/the plan for setup had not even been sufficiently relayed to her before arrival as well. This was very unacceptable seeing as we hired Vanessa specifically to decrease stress on our day and ensure that everything ran smoothly, and ironically Vanessa was the main point of all our stress. If it weren't for the complete overhaul of help from my aunts and the relaying of our vision from my mom, then our wedding would not have been set up on time or correctly. After reaching out to Vanessa a couple months after the wedding asking for a partial refund at the very least for our troubles, she never responded to the multiple emails or voicemails. Not only would I never recommend this person or her business to anyone for any event, but I was also considering reporting her due to her fraudulent and exploitative behavior. The replacement that she sent was not even her assistant but owned her own coordinating company as well and let us know that Vanessa frequently bails from events and weddings last minute without providing adequate training on the person taking over the event (usually it is the person that she sent in her place). If you are to book her for your event, please know that she could and will likely do this to you too.

be present. Thanks again Vanessa!

was attentive, always thinking ahead, and friendly. Would definitely recommend!

lped us find great, dependable vendors and plan the perfect timeline. I didn't have to worry about anything on my wedding day except enjoying myself.

ng a timeline and coordinating all of our vendors that I did not even worry about how the venue would come out. When I got to the venue I was overwhelmed with how beautiful she orchestrated everything. She was on top of our timeline the entire time and made sure that my husband and I were enjoying our special day. I have zero complaints!!!!

wo” package. Vanessa asked me for our list of vendors beforehand, and then contacted all of them a few weeks before to make sure that all our ducks were in a row. Turns out that final payments were due on two of them (be aware…not all vendors accept the final payment at the event, some are ahead of time!), so I was thrilled she caught that. Vanessa came to the final meeting at our venue (the Oviatt Penthouse) to go over where everything was going to go, how the timeline would run, etc. We were on a tight budget and doing a lot of stuff ourselves, including providing our own liquor, and renting glassware and bringing it up ourselves, along with our own Paper Moon “photo booth” and other decorations. It was a lot of stuff to bring up and down the elevator. We had a lot of friends helping with all this stuff, but even so, it was a lot of coordination. She even offered to transport a bunch of the stuff in her SUV, but it turned out we were able to get it there ourselves. On the day of, everything went surprisingly smoothly! I was expecting a whole bunch of phone calls in the hotel while we were getting ready, but nope! None. Anything I hadn’t spelled out, Vanessa figured it out on her own, and everything looked fabulous. It was such a relief! I’m a worrier, so it was nice to just let it all go and enjoy the day. Vanessa even got into the spirit of the theme, and dressed in a flapper outfit like all the guests - so fun! She’s a sweetheart and will put your mind at ease - I can’t recommend her more. I plan large parties all the time and wasn’t going to get a coordinator, but I’m SO glad I did, and I’m SO glad we picked Vanessa.

. Other reviewers are right that her calm demeanor is very reassuring. I took on a bit too much and sort of handed Vanessa a hot mess and she totally came through. Vanessa personally picked up the van containing the flowers and decor from our house and dropped it off again after the wedding. She discovered that the aisle runner I spent weeks stenciling myself was missing and drove back to the house with my husband to get it just in time! We needed to reserve the metered spots in front of the venue for the food trucks to park in, and I still don't know how she managed that. We hired Vanessa as a day-of coordinator and I think we far and away got our money's worth. If you are planning to do a lot yourself to save money like I did, please realize that leaves only you to manage everything on the wedding day! I can't tell you how happy I was to pass everything to Vanessa and not worry about a thing after that point. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

cross Vanessa's website. First thing I noticed when I spoke with Vanessa was not only did she have a great personality, she was also very knowledgeable and professional. There was something about her that just put me at ease. At our first meeting Vanessa was ready with a plan of action... I knew then that I had made the right choice going with her. Vanessa was always on top of her game! She kept me up to date on all my vendors and was always there for me anytime I called with a question. Vanessa became more than my coordinator...she truly became a friend! I got tons of compliments from guests and family members about how professional and personable Vanessa was. I honestly can't thank Vanessa enough for making my special day run as amazing as it did and helping me plan the wedding of dreams! Your the best!!

work with. After my mom met her, she felt very relieved and knew the wedding would run smoothly. We couldn't ask for a better wedding coordinator! Thanks Vanessa!

ht I could handle it all myself. As it got closer to the wedding date, I realized I needed someone to help herd 160 guests, coordinate with vendors, and keep us to schedule on the actual wedding day. It was really important to me that I wasn't asking friends and family to do this job. I did a lot of research and called up Vanessa about a month before our wedding. I was really lucky that she was still available for our (off-season) wedding and was willing to work within our budget. The week before the wedding she conducted a site visit. She asked great questions and helped us think through the final logistics. She's exceptionally professional and did a fantastic job on the wedding day. Everything about our wedding was seamless. Thank you, Vanessa!

g, she was on it! Professional, calm, cool, fun and had it all together. I really didn't want to be involved with anything day of and trusted Vanessa 100%! If I could do it over again, I would hire Vanessa in a minute! Thanks again, girl!
