Colleen was such a pleasure to work with during our venue search. She’s extremely knowledgeable, organized, and just a genuinely lovely person to interact with. Her insight and rec...
ommendations were really helpful and gave us clarity as we narrowed down our options. Even without full-service planning, she made a big impact and we’re so grateful for her help.
INCREDIBLE! Colleen was a dream to work with. Starting with our prep phone calls 6 weeks out, Colleen kept everything on track so I could actually enjoy the wedding planning proces...
s. She has a vast knowledge of experience, an eye for detail, and is completely unflappable. When my caterer showed up with one bar set up instead of two, she rearranged the layout on the fly to make everything work. She is kind, positive, and a calming presence. I would not have been able to be so deeply present and enjoy my wedding so much without her. My wife and I agree this was the best money we spent. Hire her team! :)
From the moment we booked O'Neil Events, we knew we were in amazing hands. Colleen and her team were incredibly professional, attentive, and caring throughout the entire planning p...
rocess. They worked efficiently to create an individualized and organized experience for us. Colleen connected with us regularly to ensure we had an effortless planning experience, and our day-of coordinator, Yvi, was simply phenomenal--she brought us appetizers and made sure we had a moment to ourselves when we really needed it. I cannot recommend Colleen and her team at O'Neil Events highly enough!
She was wonderful. She was organized, friendly, knowledgeable, honest, and respectful. She was on top of the schedule and helped to keep the day moving. She took so much of the str...

Colleen was so amazing to work with! She was patient, supportive and flexible every step of the way. I could truly enjoy my wedding day without a single worry and so could my famil...
y. The entire day was perfect and if anything did go wrong, I didn’t have a clue. She took care of every detail with a sense of calm that put me at complete ease! She even managed to squeeze in some time for my husband and I to share appetizers alone after we passed on our initial opportunity to do so and it was so special. I can’t thank her enough and would recommend her to anyone planning a wedding!!
Colleen is truly the best. A friend of a friend recommended her and I’m so happy we listened to them! We used her partial planning service and it was the perfect setup for us. Firs...
t, her price point is great, especially compared to some planners in the region! Her budget tracker and timeline were great tools for staying organized. I really appreciated our monthly meetings plus her availability over email to answer any other questions and review contracts. My husband and I are both organized people but planning a wedding can be overwhelming so it was great to have Colleen in our corner. Her vendor recommendations were also top notch. We used her suggestions for catering, flowers, DJ, hair and makeup, and shuttles and we were really happy with all of them. Finally, her managing of the vendors the month of the wedding and day of coordinating was excellent. I never had to worry about a single thing the day of and everything ran smoothly. I actually found out a few days after the wedding that the alcohol vendor didn’t deliver some of the liquor and Colleen spent the morning making sure that our entire order arrived. Well it all got there and I was completely unaware because Colleen handled it so smoothly! I really can’t recommend her enough.
I can't say enough about Colleen O'Neil and her team. I worked with Yvi and she was the most wonderful person to work with from start to finish. She was amazing on our wedding week...

Thank you O'Neil Events! One of the best pieces of advice I received when I got engaged was to hire a wedding planner. I knew I would be able to find my vendors but really needed s...
omeone to pull it all together at the end for me. I didn't want my family or friends running around the day of the wedding and I certainly didn't want to be stressed on my day!
Even though I only hired O'Neil Events to help towards the end, Colleen still checked in with me during my planning time. It made me feel like I always had support there for me if I needed it.
Everyone I worked with was professional, knowledgeable, and just nice!
