Nightingale Events

We had the absolute perfect wedding weekend, thanks to Ashley at Nightingale Events. Ashley + her entire team were SO incredibly professional, patience, friendly and handled every little detail and thought of every contingency, all we had to do was truly enjoy ourselves. & thanks to their efforts, our guests have been RAVING about how well organized the entire weekend was! Our advice to anyone planning a wedding, of any size, is “stop what you’re doing and hire Ashley and her team right now!!"

Working with Lisa + the Nightingale team was a dream! They were organized, efficient, and made the coordination process straightforward. I was so grateful to have them come in and do the heavy lifting in the last 60 days before the wedding. On the day of, her team was incredible and ensured the evening went perfectly. Truly the wedding reception couldn't have gone off without them, they kept the evening flowing so I could focus on spending time with my husband and family and friends!. I thoroughly recommend this team!

We are still basking in the perfection of my daughter’s wedding day. There are just too many details to point out from the very first planning meeting with the Nightingale team to the way everything was carefully packed up and placed in our cars at the end of the evening. Because of the efforts and care of the Nightingale team, we were able to enjoy every moment of the weekend. Their calm, collected, organized, professional yet friendly approach set the tone perfectly. I found myself stopping and reflecting during the entire event and because of Nightingale’s attention to detail we were able to live in the moment. Working with Nightingale was the BEST part of the planning process. We are so grateful.

Booking Nightingale Events was one of the BEST decisions we made when planning our wedding. Since our wedding was local, we didn't feel we needed a full-service wedding planner, but we did want additional support leading up to the wedding and during the big day! The wedding management package was absolutely perfect! Lisa & Ashley were incredible from day one! From answering our 1,000 questions to helping us stay on track and organized, these ladies are truly the reason our wedding weekend went off without a hitch! We along with our families felt confident going into our wedding day because of the NE team and knowing that they were there allowed us to relax and enjoy the day! Not to mention, our guests raved about how smooth and fun our wedding day was!!! 10 out of 10 would recommend!! The NE team is professional, organized, FUN, & best in class!!

Our incredibly seamless wedding day wouldn’t have been possible without Lisa, Tanya, and Kristin. Less than a year ago I had the pleasure of meeting Lisa at a great friends beautiful wedding. Hearing about her experience with Lisa personally, I knew I wanted to work with her one day as well! Not even a month later we became engaged and the planning began. Very early on we knew what we wanted for our wedding day, so the vendors were lined up rather quickly, and then I needed Lisa and her team. Choosing who we wanted to work with was the easy part, but then it was time for decisions and making everything cohesive, and having a smooth wedding day. Lisa jumped in to help and did just that. I was instantly at ease knowing that Lisa was in our corner, and that she would be running the ship on the most important day of our lives. I couldn’t imagine how I could fully embrace our wedding day without Lisa and her team - and because of them I was able to enjoy every last moment. We are so grateful for everything that Lisa and her team did for us, and couldn’t recommend them more. They are a saving grace, and I’m so excited for all of the future couples who will have the same experience! Thank you❤️

"Best wedding ever!" That's what our guests told us after our beachfront wedding in early September. And it all is thanks to Lisa and her team at Nightingale. It is impossible to convey how wonderful Lisa is -- patient, responsive, cheerful, calming, knowledgeable. She understood our vision for the wedding and executed it perfectly. No detail was too small for her -- she made sure everything was exactly right. From the band to the catering to the flowers, to all the logistical details of a tented wedding and cocktail hour on the beach -- Lisa worked her magic and the result was spectacular. She even gently coached our flower girls down the aisle! Our families are so grateful that we were lucky enough to find Lisa. THANK YOU THANK YOU Lisa from all of us.

Anna and I had the privilege and absolute pleasure of working with Caity and the Nightingale Events team. There are so many great things that we have to say, but will start with we 10000% recommend this team for anyone looking to plan a spectacular event. Our wedding was as close to perfect as a wedding can be and we owe a very large part of that to Caity and the team. From the little things such as tips and tricks, our “welcome to the team” gift of our favorite cocktail, meeting after hours to accommodate our busy work and school schedules, or vendor recommendations; to the big things as logistical planning, day of support and vendor management, every experience we have with our planning partner was exceptional. Caity even drove into Newport to meet us for the first time in person just days before welcoming her (beautiful) baby girl into the world, and definitely against doctors orders. If that doesn’t show you this team would move mountains to support their clients, I’m not sure what would. At no point did we feel overly stressed about what needed to be done or what deadlines were coming up because we had constant communication prior to those upcoming timelines. If you are on the fence about what events team to pick, rest assured you’ve come to the right place and book right away!!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Nightingale Events. Lisa and her team are worth their weight in GOLD plus another ton! When I first met Lisa, her kind demeanor, incredible organization and my ability to click with her within an instant were just some of the reasons I knew that I wanted to hire her. From my first meeting to the last I was truly blown away by her thought process on such a grand event, her incredible network of connections and her ability to troubleshoot just about anything. Without Lisa, my dream wedding would not have been possible. She is so incredible that I’m actually sad I can’t talk to her constantly anymore. If you’re looking for a team to handle every. single. detail. And then some, this is your gal. Or shall I say, Nightingals. Thank you for all you do!!

Lisa was so wonderful and such a pleasure to work with. She was so well prepared for all of our meetings leading up to the wedding and she was incredibly proactive and gave us so many wonderful ideas and helpful tips. She is a true professional who is so knowledgeable and has so much experience in wedding planning. She is also realistic and down-to-earth and told us what we needed to know! Lisa and her team executed our vision perfectly and were so open-minded and flexible to work with. Lisa also had extensive experience at our venue, the Delamar West Hartford. Her assistant, Nicole, was also a godsend on the day of our wedding, handling many emergencies for us with kindness and grace!!! If you are planning a wedding in the New England area, you need to hire Nightingale Events!! Our event could not have gone so smoothly without their incredible guidance and support!!!

As a fellow vendor and Wedding Officiant, I am so impressed by Nightingale Events. We recently worked together at a wedding and the experience from start to finish was such a pleasure. Lisa, the owner, and her team are so kind, welcoming and extremely knowledgeable in their field. They make everything look and feel so beautiful, warm, relaxed and effortless at their events. Their team is tireless in their efforts to create magical wedding days and it shows in every thoughtful detail as well as in the faces of their delighted couples! I am also very grateful for the opportunity to work with Lisa in her mentoring work. Her wonderful guidance as a seasoned industry professional has been extremely helpful and motivating. Together, we have discussed achievable goals for the future, networking opportunities and how to create an authentic brand for my business. Her mentoring sessions have been such a gift to me as a small business owner! Highly recommend! If you are a newly engaged couple, contact the NE team today for a truly amazing wedding day that you will never forget! Becky Wilson , JP by the Sea

I worked for Lisa and with Lisa. I was her intern a few (10) years ago, and she became a fast friend for me. When we got engaged I HAD TO have her as my wedding coordinator. We hired Lisa and her team for month of planning. She is ON THE BALL when it comes to making sure every detail is taken care of. Lisa had to miss our wedding last minute, HOWEVER, her incredible team were a dream. We did not have to worry about anything on our wedding day. They were so attentive, detailed and just amazing people in general! We could not have done it without the team ❤️

My husband and I had the absolute pleasure of working with Lisa & Nightingale Events. We worked with her for the Wedding Management/Coordination service. Lisa and I began to work together about 8 weeks out from our wedding date. Lisa finalized our timeline about a month out from our wedding. This included everything from transportation, vendor drop-offs/set-ups, and where our family needed to be when. Our weekly check-ins and "homework" she assigned to us in advance allowed us to feel so relaxed leading into the week of our wedding. It was nice to have one point of contact confirming all the details for us leading into the big day. Lisa attended our final walkthrough with the venue and mini rehearsal before our dinner the night before our wedding. It was great for our parents and bridal party to know she was there for any questions they had day of. Lisa & her team truly shine working onsite on wedding day. From parents, bridesmaids, other vendors, and guests I received so many compliments about Lisa and her team. I literally didn't worry about one thing on our wedding day. I had tremendous confidence in the Nightingale team to make decisions and keep the day running smoothly. To finding my brothers phone to safety pinning my dress when the bustle broke...there is really nothing they can't do! Lisa's professionalism and years of experience makes her a rockstar at what she does. Her team is lucky to have her as their leader/mentor. Working with Lisa & Nightingale Events was by far the best decision we made (other than marrying each other!) when it came to our wedding day. P.S. I know wedding planners is often looked at as "optional" or "nice to have" but I would highly recommend anyone who is starting to budget for their wedding to budget for a planner/planning service. In my opinion, it is 100% necessary.

We will try our best to put into words how special of a time we had with Rachel and her team. From the moment we had our introduction call with Lisa & Rachel, we knew we had to hire Nightingale Events. We ultimately hired Rachel for design and wedding management - it was the best decision we could have made! From monthly calls, to weekly calls and many text messages - Rachel fixed any problem big or small with a smile on her face & reassuring words. Our beautiful wedding design was beyond anything we could have ever imagined. Getting ready was the most calm, fun, organized and special day thanks to the team. Even when a big item was forgotten they did not hesitate to make sure we were able to get it back. It is truly a day our friends & family will never forget. We highly recommend Nightingale events to anyone looking to have the best, stress free wedding planning process & day! We will miss them very much. Thank you for everything!!! xoxo (p.s. PA loves you ❤️)

We hired Nightingale Events for month of coordination and we’re thrilled we did. We worked with Rachel B. who was a total asset for us leading up to the day and on the day of. While we planned what we wanted for the day, she and her team crafted the timeline and worked with our vendors to ensure it all went off without a hitch. She took on any stress that would have otherwise fallen to us and was overall a joy to be around on such a special day!

Where to begin!! We got married at Water’s Edge, a venue that handles most of the logistics and even provides a coordinator. But even with a venue like this, you still have photographers, hair/make-up, music, the florist and then guests to coordinate. The effort it takes is just nuts. So you need someone whose primary job it is to a.) coordinate all of your vendors and b.) look after YOU on your day to make sure that you’re enjoying every minute of it. There’s no way we would have been able to experience, let alone enjoy, this big party we planned for 18 months if it hadn’t been for Nightingale Events. We worked with Caity Kitchens, who took us through the last 8 weeks: wrangling all of our vendors, going over every little detail to make sure the night was exactly what we wanted. She scheduled a venue walkthrough (which was so helpful to visualize the day) and had an answer to every question before and during the wedding —and there were a lot of questions! When is a vendor is arriving, where are the flowers going, when the Mother of Bride should be ready, etc. Caity coordinated everything and was prepared for any situation—including when the groom didn’t have pants! Caity had a plan A, B, and C (including running to the nearby outlets if she had to!). She even made us an Instagram Reel from our wedding day! All of this reminded us why we hired Caity and Nightingale Events— because they are there for YOU. Caity is warm, funny, and has an infectious ease about her while also being a super-planner who has everything under control. She is such a joy to spend time with—we seriously miss our calls with her! Even if you think you’re a DIY kind of person, that you can manage all of it—having now been through it, trust us, you need someone to run the show that day, and you need the experience and expertise that only Caity and the others at Nightingale can bring. We can’t recommend Caity highly enough!

Hiring the Nightingale Events team was the best decision we could have ever made. After planning our wedding ourselves, we decided to finally hire Lisa and her team for wedding management. Beginning 2 months before our big day, Lisa was attentive, thoughtful, supportive and gave us peace of mind the weeks leading up to our wedding. She answered every single one of our questions, communicated with vendors on our behalf, and made the most detailed and organized wedding weekend timeline- this I think was the greatest gift of all! Not to mention, Xandi and Eric also helping keep everyone on schedule and making sure us and our families had everything we needed. Our families to this day say that Lisa and her team are the reason our wedding was such a success. Lisa was our greatest support system and we could not have pulled off our 230 person wedding without her. Not only was Lisa our wedding coordinator, but she became a friend and we miss her so much already!!

TLDR: HIRE THEM NOW – if you are reading this review, it means you are considering Nightingale. Book them immediately- you will not regret it. We hired Nightingale for Wedding Coordination as they came recommended by our venue and I just have to say: WOW. I had the HONOR of working with Rachel. I am a pretty organized person, so I was able to book vendors and get all the initial portion set up. The amount of work Rachel put in those last moments before the wedding is almost indescribable. Let me just tell you that I felt that Rachel had my back the entire time when did have some hiccups with a different vendor. Rachel took care of it and handled it so well. Leading up to the day, she had us thinking about things we would never consider thinking about. Since I have never planned a wedding before, Rachel was the expert and mastermind to pull everything together. When I was booking vendors, it was once one was done, I booked the next, but the last 1-2 months, you are talking to ALL of them it is a very daunting task. If I were to do it all over it again, I would rebook Nightingale in a heartbeat. The day-of was magical. Rachel was my bridesmaid, friend, and me all in one. She anticipated ALL my needs and was the voice of reason the whole day and night. Our groom gal, Amy, was there for us too and I swear, they all were so so helpful so that Mark and I could enjoy our day. We felt like guests at our own wedding. Our job was to enjoy the day and they made it happen beyond our expectations. We didn't interact too much with the third gal but thank you so much for setting up the details of the room so nicely! Thank you Rachel and the Nightingale team for making everything come together so beautifully. Rachel, as I have said in our texts over and over, you really are the best. Thank you. Truly.

If you are on the fence about booking a planner/coordinator, take this as your sign to book this team! Our amazing wedding truly could not have happened without Rachel, Amy and the Nightingale Team ensuring everyone was where they needed to be and everything was running smoothly. We booked Nightingale to help with our wedding coordination 2 months prior to our wedding date (as I wanted to own the majority of our initial decisions & vendor bookings myself) and being able to hand the reins over to Rachel was the absolute best decision we made. The help, organization, support, and genuine kindness Rachel provided us leading up to and on our big day was easily worth the investment. I know our wedding day would not have been as effortless and seamless as it was if we didn't have this team helping us. From the moment we booked Nightingale, Rachel went above and beyond to help my partner and I feel special and taken care. Thank you for everything!!

We used Nightingale for wedding coordination and were assigned to Rachel, who we started working with a couple months out from the wedding. It was the best decision we could've possibly made. From the second we started working with her I felt at ease. There are so many things that - having never done this before - I wouldn't have even known to think about or consider. Rachel asked all the right questions and had us on track from the moment we started working with her. She was organized, personable, and so friendly and funny. That made our weekly meetings a joy instead of a chore. She took charge of working with all the vendors as well as the venue, and making sure that everyone was on the same page. Rachel was really attentive to what we wanted as a couple and making sure that our vision came true on the weekend of our wedding. Her attention to detail is amazing! She had an extensive timeline for the wedding day and everyone knew where they needed to be and when. The wedding went flawlessly, far exceeded my expectations, and I'm still getting compliments on it. If anything DID go wrong during the wedding, I honestly didn't know about it because Rachel and her team always had a back up plan or a way to mitigate the issue without stressing me out about it. If I had to change one thing, it would be bringing Rachel and the Nightingale team on earlier. Hiring them was 100% worth the price, and I can't stress how important it is to have a planner on your team. *Bonus points that Rachel and Nightingale are really dedicated to diversity and inclusion and it shows in the way they work with clients, vendors, and the content they post on their social media pages. I really appreciated that!

We can't say enough about Lisa and her team - look no further for a personable, meticulous, and creative wedding planner. When Lisa came on board, we were disorganized and in a state of panic about our wedding. After calming us down, she immediately got down to business coordinating vendors and making sure that the vision we had for our wedding was executed flawlessly. Unbeknownst to us, our day-of wedding set up needed to be coordinated almost down to the minute - and Lisa and her team were present for every minute of an 18-hour day. Bringing Lisa on was the best decision we made in the planning process!

I am forever grateful for Lisa and her nightingale events team. Our wedding day was absolutely beautiful and their organization just took my breath away! I was able to get ready with my mom and girls without any extra stress about the set up, schedule, photo line ups, etc. My husband and I had busy schedules and our beautiful sister in law, Lisa, made our wedding planning from the beginning so much easier with a timeline, vendor recommendations, budget organization, etc. Lisa had her team assist us few weeks prior to our day. Caity was amazing! I would highly recommend Nightingale events as your wedding planner. Lisa and her team will blow your breath away and allow you to really enjoy this special moment with your husband. From the bottom of our hearts , thank you Nightingale events for everything. Our family loves you, Lisa.

Rachel and her team at Nightengale were absolutely amazing to work with. Rachel made sure that the lead up to our wedding was stress free and our wedding day was smooth and effortless all thanks to her team’s work. I seriously cannot recommend working with Nightengale enough. From making sure our timing was executed properly, vendors were confirmed, nothing was left unnoticed!

Lisa and her team were absolutely amazing! Planning a wedding can be one of the most stressful processes but Lisa was able to relieve so much of the stress and bring all my wedding inspirations to life to make our day perfect! The month before the wedding we had weekly check ins which helped to keep me on task and focused on what still needed to be accomplished. The day of the wedding Lisa, Eric, and Xandi made sure everything was ready and perfect and helped our special day go off without a hitch. Lisa’s infectious positive attitude and incredible love for wedding planning makes her and her team the perfect planners. I would highly recommend her to anyone interested in working with a wedding planner. Thank you so much! ❤️ With love, Haley & Johrone

Lisa and the Nightingale Events Team were one of the first vendors we booked and we couldn’t have done it without them! When we first started looking at venues, we couldn’t help but feel compelled to get married at my husband’s family farm. From the very beginning, we knew we needed to bring in a strong team to pull off this 250 person wedding! We interviewed with three to four different wedding planners, but Lisa and her team stood out among all of them! Lisa carried a presence to her. She proved that she was timely, punctual, professional, and caring. Herself and her team took the time to get to know us & understand what we wanted to create. They helped us organize the process by giving us access to helpful resources & planning apps. With the wedding management package, they took over the final steps of planning to truly create the day we wanted and ease our stresses about the final details! They discussed timelines with all of our vendors, finalized big and small details, checked in each week with how we were feeling, set up and tore down decorations so our family and friends didn’t need to lift a finger, and so much more! This team helped take our stress away and reminded us that we were getting ready for one of the most exciting days of our lives! And that it was! Nightingale Events, we couldn’t have done it without you. Thank you!

I used Nightingale events for wedding management for our June 3rd wedding and it was THE BEST decision I made out of all of our vendors. Rachel was top notch and helped make all of my visions come to life. Leading up to the day she helped me with coordinating all of the logistics which allowed me to see my Grandma before the ceremony. Throughout the day Rachel and the team were so attentive to us and even my husband said it was so nice having someone there to keep the groom and groomsmen on schedule. My mom and sister have told me multiple times since the wedding day, thank god you had Rachel! I’m so thankful for Nightingale events, I was so relaxed and able to enjoy the entire day. If you are questioning having day of coordination, don’t, just do it, it’s the best investment you can make for your day, especially with the Nightingale team behind you.

Working with Lisa was possibly the best decision my, now, wife and I made when planning our wedding. She was always available to answer questions, kept us on track on the million things we needed to do, and helped us find an amazing team of vendors to work with. Plus, Lisa worked with our vendor team to reschedule our event TWICE due to the event being delayed multiple times from the pandemic. The night of the event Lisa and her team seemed to be performing magic as they were always one step ahead of any unexpected wrinkle and kept the evening running smoothly. It made for a completely stress-free experience for not just us but also our parents as well. Everyone had a blast! We can't thank Lisa and her team enough. Our wedding was a few months ago and we are still receiving compliments on how amazing it was. Do yourself a favor and hire Nightingale Events. You won't be disappointed!

Hiring Nightingale Events was the first thing we did after getting engaged, and it was the best decision! We worked with Caity; she was AMAZING! My husband and I both have crazy schedules and had the busiest year of our lives... we honestly couldn't have had a wedding without her. She made every step easy and enjoyable. Not only that, but the actual execution of the wedding day exceeded all expectations! We didn't have to worry about a thing. Caity and the Nightingals took our vision and brought it to life in a way that literally had my jaw on the floor. I can't recommend these ladies enough!

Caity is the absolute best!!! I was so happy we used Caity for our daughters wedding. From beginning to end she was amazing and figured out exactly what we wanted. Caity was patient, kind, easy to work with and on the day made everything seamless. I can’t recommend her enough and that whatever your vision is she will make it happen flawlessly. She is the BEST!!!

We love Caity so much! She helped us do the finishing touches on planning and when our venue was difficult she fought so hard for us making phone calls and just doing everything she could to make our day happen how we wanted it. My husband originally didn’t want to do the month of coordination he felt like it wasn’t needed and a waste of money. But post covid replanning and dealing with everything he said thank god we did that I have literally no idea what we would have done without caity. So thank you caity for being wonderful and supportive over this crazy period we had a wonderful day thanks to you and the nightingale team.

It has taken me a while to write this review because I don't even know how to begin to summarize how amazing our experience has been with Nightingale Events. We began working with Lisa in June 2019 right after we found our venue and decided that we wanted our wedding planning experience to be as seamless, enjoyable and organized as possible. From the moment we spoke with Lisa we realized that we didn't need to look ANY further in order to find the perfect wedding planner - she was it. When the pandemic hit Lisa helped us seamlessly postpone our wedding from September 2020 to September 2021 by doing all of the communication and rewriting of the contracts with each and every one of our vendors. Lisa negotiated contracts, was ALWAYS at least 5 steps ahead of us with any concern or question we had, reminded us to complete tasks that we 100% would have forgotten about or procrastinated on and overall made our wedding planning experience SO enjoyable. Lisa is full of amazing and creative ideas that will take your event to the next level. When our wedding day came, Lisa was there to pick up and return our rentals (yard games, linens, decor), kept us on our timeline and made sure everyone was exactly where they needed to be. My husband lovingly calls Lisa and the Nightingals (we had Rachel & Elyse who were both incredible) the "secret service" because they were always, again, 5 steps ahead of us. I cannot express how strongly I feel that every bride & groom should have Nightingale Events for their wedding day. I don't know many people who can describe wedding planning as "a breeze" but we were able to and it's all thanks to Lisa from Nightingale Events and that alone is worth every single penny. We miss Lisa already and will miss our check in calls where we even chatted about non-wedding related things like our families, our dogs, our plans for the weekend and what was going on in our lives. Lisa has such a kind heart and while she works SO hard on so many weddings, she will make you feel like you are the only wedding she has for that whole year. She truly is that dedicated to each and every event she plans and cares so much about planning the perfect day for each couple. Please do yourself a favor and work with Nightingale Events....you will not regret it.

We have so much to say about Lisa and Nightingale events but first things first: if you’re thinking about hiring a planner, book them now—you won’t regret it. We booked her for wedding management, which starts a couple of months out from the big day. From the time we signed on with Lisa, she was available to us, answering questions and being supportive. Once we got closer in, we had weekly calls with Lisa to go over details big and small. She has such a keen eye for detail and a super extensive knowledge of wedding planning, so her guidance, insights, and organization in the final weeks were incredibly helpful. Throughout our time working with Lisa, we felt that we were in such capable hands. Wedding planning can be (okay, IS) stressful, and having a pro on our team really helped calm us down and stay focused on enjoying the experience. On the day of, Lisa brought her usual enthusiasm, clear-headedness, warmth, humor, professionalism, and organizational mastery to the event along with an incredible team of women. Huge shout out to Rachel, who was so essential to the fantastic day-of experience and is our new favorite person. Lisa and the Nightingale team, we can’t thank you enough!!

Oh my goodness, words cannot even describe how AMAZING Lisa and her team were for our wedding. The second Lisa and I did our initial call, I could tell that we were going to get along very well. We had the same sense of humor and the same love of sweets. Throughout our wedding planning process, she always checked in with zoom calls and with my vendors to make sure that we were all on the same page. We were in constant communication with Lisa and she would send reminders for anything we had to do. When it got closer to our wedding, Lisa was such a great help in helping our design become a reality. She contacted a bunch of different vendors and found the impossible - golden chairs to match our golden utensils. We were so impressed. Having a backyard wedding, you have to plan every detail and without her, our wedding wouldn't have been as gorgeous and as successful as it was. The day of the wedding, she handled all of my vendors and showed them where to go so none of the bridal party of family of the bride had to worry about it. Another one of her team members, Rachel, hung out with the boys and made sure they were at the venue on time. We got to be with Caity who was such a friendly and calming person to have on such an emotional day. It was pure perfection. I cannot recommend Nightingale Events enough. Not only was Lisa and her team the PERFECT people to help make our wedding day a dream come true, but she also became our lifelong friend. Run, don't walk, to hire the Nightingale Events team!!!

Lisa and her team were the most important investment we made while planning our wedding. We were initially considering holding the wedding in the backyard of our family home, so we originally hired Nightingale Events for a consultation and walk through of the property. We noticed Lisa’s expertise and skills immediately as she helped us understand all of the expenses that can be involved in a backyard wedding. She was honest, helpful, kind, patient, and informative. As I live out of state, we knew we would need more help with “on the ground” planning after that point, so we moved forward with booking full wedding planning support. Nightingale Events was the perfect choice. Not only was the planning process made simple and seamless, the actual wedding day (with day-of coordination) was a breeze. I didn’t have to worry about ANYTHING. The nightingals took care of it all- they set everything up, moved car-loads of flowers and signs between venues, bustled my train, fixed my veil constantly, removed a stain from my dress, helped band-aid my blistered ankle, and somehow camouflaged effortlessly into the background while doing this all. It is clear that the nightingals are devoted to creating and facilitating extraordinary events. On top of that, while with them, I felt like I was surrounded by friends and family. They put me at ease and helped me feel relaxed and ready on my wedding day. I truly couldn’t have asked for anything better!!

I couldn’t have asked for better wedding planners. My wedding was postponed from 2020 , for almost 3 years they helped me with every single serial. From guiding me in 2019 to pick my vendors, to helping me postpone my wedding in 2020, to helping me execute the wedding of my dreams in 2021 they were there every step of the way. They are beyond professional, organized & very keen to detail. Whenever I had any questions they were readily available to assist. The day of my wedding I had nothing to worry about because Lisa, Rachel & the rest of the NE gals had it all covered from start to finish. I truly can’t thank them enough for their work. They were more than just another wedding vendor on my list, they became dear friends who I respect dearly for all their work. They treat every couple with so much love & care that it almost feels like your wedding is the only one they have, amounts all the dozen others they execute so flawlessly. I am forever thankful for their work & highly recommend to anyone who asks. Forever thankful & grateful for their amazing work!

We used Lisa for full event planning, from start to finish, she was amazing to work with! She is so friendly, fun and polite to work with. Lisa helped us choose the best vendors, organize all details, coordinate meetings, assisted with design and more. Lisa and her staff helped our wedding day run seamlessly even with some last minute changes. She made our wedding day so extra special. We will truly miss working with her!!

We worked with Lauren for day-of-event-coordination through Nightingale Events and it was hands down the best decision we made throughout our entire wedding process. Lauren was available to help coordinate vendors prior to the wedding, develop a timeline, organize our rehearsal, preview our venue, and so much more. She was incredibly delightful and a welcomed calming presence for the entire process, particularly in the setting of a cancelled justice of the peace 2 days prior to our wedding! Lauren coordinated our replacement seamlessly. The Nightingale team was phenomenal on our wedding day. Everything was perfect- from the coordination with our massive family for photos, decor set up & breakdown, and organizing the timing for everything. Hiring Nightingale was absolutely worth every penny for the services that were provided and even more so for the peace of mind and stress relief! My highest of recommendations to Lauren and the Nightingale team. We cannot thank you enough!

No matter your budget, have Nightingale Events involved in some portion of your wedding. My husband and I tried to plan a micro-wedding in 2020, and hired Lisa to help us plan it, until we had a pivot and decided to postpone our entire wedding to 2021. Lisa was great in our original micro-planning, and even more amazing and accommodating when we changed our plans completely! She allowed us to use our credit from our deposit and hire her as our officiant since full wedding planning was outside of our budget. As an officiant Lisa was INCREDIBLE and Rachel who wrote our ceremony was AMAZING. Between the questionnaires, meetings, and the writing of our ceremony, they created something so beautiful and unforgettable. I haven't been to a lot of weddings, where people can't stop talking about the ceremony, but ours was truly exceptional and everyone was in love. There was not a dry eye in the room! If you want any part of your day to be easy and beautiful and special beyond compare, and you want your wedding guests to feel all the love in the world, Nightingale is the way to go!

Lisa and her team are the best investment we made for our wedding, hands down, no competition, full stop. We hired her for full wedding planning and design, and had an unconventional vision for two a two-night event at our family home. It was complicated, we were planning around COVID, and we had a firm budget. Lisa was brilliant with all of it. Our events were gorgeous and seamless. Our guests felt special, and my husband and I were free to relax, enjoy, and cherish our time with our loved ones rather than stress or consider any detail. For that reason alone, it was priceless. But on top of everything, Lisa was a dream to work with - we honestly miss her now! And her team, including Rachel who acted as our officiant, were consummate professionals: focused, kind, generous, and fun. I would recommend them to anyone, and I plan to tell everyone I know!

My now-husband and I hired Nightingale Events to coordinate our micro wedding/elopement during the height of the pandemic in the Fall of 2020. To this day we continue to say that it was a phenomenal decision and one we would make again in a heartbeat. We worked with owner and principle planner Lisa DiBenedetto who truly simplified the entire process; connected us with wonderful vendors for our photography, vow books, flowers, etc.; and served as an amazing resource from start to finish. Lisa was both professional and polished. We received the utmost care and attention throughout the entire planning process and were met with warmth, patience and thoughtful guidance every step of the way. We highly recommend Nightingale Events for your wedding planning needs and are so appreciative of Lisa and the other vendors who helped make our day so special.

This past Spring my fiancée (now husband) and I made the tough decision to postpone our early October 2020 wedding to October 2021. We knew that even though we couldn’t have our original large wedding, we still wanted to get married in October as planned with a small group of immediate family and close friends. I didn’t know where to start with a micro wedding/elopement but thankfully a friend at work recommended Nightingale Events and their 2020 elopement packages. I reached out to Lisa at Nightingale immediately and it was the best decision I ever made! Lisa made it such a simple, stress free process that allowed us to still have a beautiful wedding day. The package was perfect for us, and had the sweetest details! Lisa was so personable, thoughtful and fun throughout the whole process, and even though it was a small event she always made me feel like it was just as important and special as a big wedding. It truly felt like the day we had planned all along before COVID was even a thought and we are so grateful. Looking back I wish I had reached out to her on day 1 of wedding planning last year. Lisa is amazing!!! Anyone looking for any wedding planning support look no further than Lisa and Nightingale Events!!

We were so lucky to have Lisa, Caity, and Rachel for our big day. Combine general wedding planning with a pandemic, you can imagine how stressful it could be planning this year. Lisa and team took that stress away. We had to cancel our original venue, and plan a "new" wedding in my parents backyard in just a short few months. From the coordination of vendors (existing and new ones), helping us envision the new plan, and setting up our tent and vendors day of, Lisa and team could not have been any more helpful in making it the best day of our lives. They put us at ease leading up to the wedding and the day of we were completely relaxed and got to truly enjoy everything. They were knowledgeable, organized, helpful, and overall great to work with. I will never forget walking into my parents backyard and being completely blown away by the set up (thanks to all of their help and coordination). They were a major part in making our wedding the best day of our lives. If you are looking for a wedding coordinator, I highly highly recommend Nightingale Events.

I can’t begin to praise the Nightingale team enough!! We worked with Lisa and had the pleasure of meeting a few other members of the Nightingale team along the way. Lisa was always professional, polished and FUN. She is extremely resourceful, organized and knows how to get things done. I never could have imagined all the details involved, and how much I did NOT know about putting together a wedding! Lisa was always able to prepare us, come up with quick solutions and connect us with some pretty amazing vendors. About half way through our planning process the Covid-19 pandemic started to hit here in the north east. No one really knew what we were in for, or how long it would last. Lisa was on the front line speaking with everyone she could (including the governor himself!) to make sure she always had the most up to date information. As our wedding got closer, it became clear that our original venue would not be able to accommodate our party due to current restrictions. With just 1 month away, Lisa was able to find us a new (and even better) venue for the SAME date as our original wedding, and work with old and new vendors to accommodate. In more ways than I can count, our wedding simply wouldn’t have been able to happen without Lisa and her team. Despite all the obstacles against us during a time of uncertainty we had the most beautiful and dreamy wedding. Nightingale will always be remembered as a big part of our special day. If there is any question weather hiring a wedding planner is worth it, I can absolutely assure you the Nightingale team is worth it all.. and then some more!!

The BEST wedding planning team! Do not hesitate to work with these ladies! Caity was my main planner and she was excellent. Super organized, very professional but fun, and really works with you to make sure what you envision for your big day is realized. The entire team made me feel like I was a celebrity for my wedding day and I can’t imagine having gotten married without their help! Especially, if you are a bride planning during these tough times you will need their expertise and advice! I would recommend them to anyone!

We love Nightingale Events so much we hired them twice! For our original wedding plans (which COVID ruined), we hired the team for month-of coordination. Once we decided that we still wanted to get married this year, but with all the safety precautions in place, we decided to hire them for our mini wedding this year and then keep them on for our large wedding next year as well. This team is nothing short of amazing, especially Lauren, who we worked directly with. Lauren is extremely well-organized but also so thoughtful and personable. Every time an issue came up (and there were many!) she was easily accessible and helped guide me through it. Additionally, Lauren made us the MOST amazing sign which she wrote out herself with simply beautiful calligraphy. Fast forward to wedding day, and I was cool as a cucumber because Lauren was there. I wasn't worried about a single thing because I knew she knew the vendors, knew our vision and could handle any issues that came about. I am so incredibly thankful that we got to work with Lauren and still have to actively restrain myself from texting her on the reg. I cannot wait to work with the team next year! This team is the best around and do not hesitate to hire them for your day!!

Lisa and her whole team at Nightingale Events were an absolute pleasure to work with throughout our wedding planning process. My husband and I hired Lisa for wedding coordination starting about 6 weeks before our wedding. Lisa was incredibly organized and helped us stay focused on what had to be done when. It was very helpful that Lisa served as our one point of contact and handled all communication with our other vendors behind the scenes. I also valued her insight on various decisions my husband and I had to make about our wedding, and she even caught things my husband and I had overlooked in the planning process. You will not be disappointed with Nightingale Events!

Lauren Barone at Nightingale did a fabulous job for my daughter‘s wedding. She was available to answer any questions within minutes while planning and made many helpful suggestions. She organized the rehearsal so that everyone knew exactly what do do. The wedding day went perfectly, thanks to Lauren’s efforts. One of the guests even told me that she was “impressed with how smoothly everything flowed at the rehearsal.” I recommend her without reservation.

We recently used Lisa and her team for our special day and they were amazing . They’re attention to detail and kindness was second to none and the day could not have gone smoother. To anyone else looking to have that helping hand and guide through their special day I would say look no further. You won’t regret it!

Lisa was THE BEST! Lisa planned our entire wedding from start to finish and truly was amazing to work with. If your looking for a full a planning wedding planner look no further!!!

Lisa might actually be a fairy godmother... what she pulled off was pure magic. It was my dream to have my wedding at my family's farm, my concern was that it would feel too "backyard". Well she built this wedding from the ground up, and then some. She listened to what we wanted, she guided us to the best vendors to make that happen. She offered advice where we needed it, and let us do our own thing when we wanted to as well! The result: an absolutely stunning ceremony, a relaxed yet upscale cocktail hour, and a fantastic reception- the dance floor was never empty. I expected to have a really fun wedding, what I did not expect was to have almost all of our guests tell us that it was the BEST wedding they've ever been to. I could go on and on about all of the things that Lisa pulled off for us, but all you really need to know is that she and her staff are so incredibly professional, personable and absolutely amazing at what they do. None of us can imagine even attempting this without her. Hire her IMMEDIATELY.

Hiring Nightingale was the best decision I made out of all of my wedding planning. We hired Nightingale as our Month of Coordinators and the team went above and beyond our expectations. I specifically worked with Lauren and she was extremely responsive, organized, personable, excited and so sweet. Leading up to the wedding Lauren took over and was in contact with all of my vendors, created a timeline and I didn't have to worry about a thing. I felt so relaxed leading up to my wedding because I had such confidence in Lauren. Once the night was over I realized that I was able to enjoy every single second of my wedding and not once did I have to be responsible for cleaning up, moving the wedding decorations back to my room, or stay on top of any of the vendors. If something went wrong, I never new about it. Everytime I think of my wedding I think of Nightingale and how grateful I am for all of their work. They truly are the best and you are lucky if you get to work with them!

Lisa and her team exceeded all of my expectations. My husband and I decided to get married last minute and only had 4 months to plan a wedding in a city neither one us lived in. Lisa was personable, attentive to details and gave us guidance from the beginning. I trusted her from the beginning because of her confidence and level of experience. She didn’t tell me how to have my wedding but helped me build the vision I didn’t know I had. Wedding day was executed flawlessly and people still compliment us on a perfect wedding! If you want to have fun but your wedding planning done right, you need to each out to Lisa and her team! Thank you so ladies!

My husband and I were getting married in another state from where we live, and it was going to be difficult for us to coordinate our vendors working full time and out of state. Lisa and her team were recommended to us by my cousin who had gotten married a year prior to our engagement and came highly recommended. She helped us with venue searching and once we picked a venue, provided us a hand picked list of vendors for us to contact and hire (that was the package we chose, but there are other packages where she will help you through everything). Her list of preferred vendors is FANTASTIC and we were so happy with all the vendors she recommended. She and her team were very helpful in the weeks leading up to our wedding, helping coordinate with the venue and vendors to create a timeline for the day and to make sure every little detail was perfect. There was even someone there at all times prior to the ceremony to hold my train! The girls at the end of the night helped my family pack up all the items that needed to leave, which was so wonderfully nice of them and something that I didn’t even think about until we were leaving and had all the extra favors, card box, bathroom baskets, guest book, memorial photos, flowers, etc. to remove from the venue. A wedding planner is a must if you think that you will have a lot of coordinating to do (which you will) with little time or mental energy to do it. Lisa and her team at Nightingale Events did a spectacular job and will ensure the day goes smoothly so you can enjoy the happiest day of your life!

My husband and I decided to hire Nightingale Events to assist us with coordination given the busy demands of our schedules. We knew that as the date got closer we would need help with last minute organizing, planning and coordinating all of the vendors. Nightingale far exceeded our expectations. Our day was beautiful and ran smoothly because of their support, guidance, and organization. We can confidently say that we wouldn't have had the day we had if it were not for Lisa, Lauren and Rachel. The timeline they created with all of our vendors was seamless. My Maid of Honor joked that they had everything in their bags! Their attention detail and preparedness was helpful for not only us but our bridal party as well. I was able to relax and enjoy the week before and day of knowing I had them by my side. To engaged brides thinking about hiring a coordinator- do it!! There were so many little details or decisions that needed to be made in the "stressful" last few months leading up to the big day. Hiring Nightingale will help take the burden off and allow you to be fully present and relaxed!

If you are looking for someone to make your day go smoothly and have a worry-free experience, Lisa and her team is it!! My day went perfectly, not one hiccup!! Cindy was so sweet and attentive as well, she even changed my shoes for me when I started to look uncomfortable! I couldn’t believe it! This team is the best in the business and you will not be disappointed!

Before we begin the review, if you are considering hiring a planner for your wedding, you need to stop reading this, message Nightingale Events, and hire them immediately. Now with that being said we cannot recommend Nightingale Events enough. We had the pleasure of working with Lisa for the last six months leading up to our wedding. Originally we weren't in the market for a wedding planner, and now we wish we had reached out to her sooner. The amount of professionalism and expertise that Lisa and her team brought to the table was invaluable. My husband and I had a vision of what we wanted our wedding to be; a vision that we thought we could create on our own. It was Lisa and the Nightingale Events team, however, that made it better than we could have ever imagined. Every connection Lisa offered, every meeting she put together, and every contract edit she suggested, only helped build exactly what we were looking for in a way we would have never achieved on our own. We always felt in the loop and a part of the process. Without her there we would have missed out on so much. With all of that in mind, the real magic of what Nightingale Events has to offer was evident the day of our wedding. It was the morning of October 20th, hours before our ceremony, that we met some of Lisa's team for the first time. Instantly, we felt like we had known them for the entire process. Lauren and Cindy were paramount to the success of our ceremony and reception, and we couldn't have asked for a better support system. Throughout the day, some unexpected surprises popped up, and without ever deviating from our original schedule, Lisa and her team found solutions to let our wedding events continue unhindered. My husband and I are in agreement that our wedding was the best day of our lives. The story of that day is one we love to share at any chance we get. We can honestly say, from the bottom of our hearts, that we have Lisa and the Nightingale Events team to thank for such a beautiful and memorable story. Their work, the memory of which still brings tears to my eyes as I type this, was unforgettable and we can't thank them enough.
