Hiring Rebecca Calagna Events was the best decision we made for my daughter’s wedding, and we were so lucky to have Brianna as our coordinator! From start to finish, Brianna and her team were incredibly organized, professional, and thoughtful. As the mother of the bride, I was able to enjoy the entire day without a single concern or worry - a true gift.
There was rain in the forecast for the outdoor ceremony, and I started to get nervous. When I reached out to Brianna, she had already contacted the vendors, arranged a Plan B, and reassured me that everything was under control. Thanks to her preparation, I knew we didn’t need to worry. In the end, the day was overcast with a little wind, which made for gorgeous pictures, and the sun even came out for the ceremony - it was perfect!
There was a moment in the bridal suite when champagne spilled down a bridesmaid’s dress. The team had it cleaned up immediately, leaving no stain, and the bride never even knew it happened. Their calm, proactive approach ensured that every potential hiccup was handled flawlessly.
When the wedding was over, Brianna and her team had everything packed up and ready to go. We literally just got in the car and left for the after-party without lifting a finger- it was incredible!
Even though the venue had its own coordinator, Brianna and her team went above and beyond. They worked seamlessly with the vendors, kept us on schedule, and handled every detail with perfection. This was hands down, the best money we spent during the entire planning process.
I cannot recommend Rebeca Calagna Events, and especially Brianna, enough! If you want peace of mind and a stress-free, beautifully executed wedding day, they are absolutely invaluable.

This review is long overdue. Rebecca is an angel from heaven, I am sure of it. As a former Bridezilla (in recovery now), Rebecca handled all my crazy requests, "urgent" text messages, daily questions with such grace, kindness and professionalism. I pestered her for a whole year leading up to the wedding and she always had an answer to my never-ending questions. However, the best part about Rebecca was how she made us feel on our wedding weekend. We had a logistical nightmare of a wedding with events in different cities, themes, etc. It was also 105 degrees in Palm Springs that day. However, Rebecca never complained. She helped execute everything to our dreams and she just has such a calm energy about her that you can't help but calm down as well. I seriously cannot thank her enough. We are already thinking about the next big event Rebecca can help us plan just so we can spend time with her again! She is truly a gem, you NEED to book her as your wedding planner. She is incredible!!!

The best wedding planner and events team ever!
Honestly, Rebecca is a literal angel and her team is just as incredible. Throughout the wedding planning process I found myself grateful everyday to have Rebecca and RC Events in my corner. Rebecca worked diligently to make my visions come to life. Whenever I was stuck on a wedding related decision it’s like she knew how to read my mind and provide the perfect solution. When it came to the day of, my husband and I were able to enjoy every last minute thanks to the RC Events team. They had every last detail covered, at one point Rebecca even had to save the day by sewing my dress! Rebecca provided me with a top tier team of vendors who were not only masters at their craft but the kindest, most genuine human beings as well. During my time as a bride to be my personal life put me through almost every crisis you could think of and Rebecca went above and beyond to show her support and kept my spirits up to make the wedding of our dreams come true. My husband and I will forever be grateful. Whenever any bride to be asks me for advice I always just say to “Hire Rebecca!” I truly mean that. We constantly get questions and compliments about every last wedding detail and we owe that all to Rebecca and her team.

We got engaged in November of 2022 and wanted to have a full-on wedding. We found ourselves struggling early on because we both work full time and didn’t have as much support in the planning. We had no idea what we were doing!
Rebecca came recommended through a coworker who had worked with her before and had great things to say. We met with her and decided to go with full planning package, which included both the preplanning and day-of coordination.
Throughout the planning, she accommodated our work schedules and met with us in the evenings to make progress. She was organized and detail oriented, which helped ease a great deal of our stress going into this process. She helped us on prioritization in the vendor selection. She has connections to amazing, vetted vendors, some of which we ended up choosing for our wedding day. She also worked closely with the vendors we selected that were outside of her initial recommendations.
Day-of, she had a full team with her, helping guide not only the members of the wedding party, but also the guests and vendors. They were really on top of everything and worked cohesively. They were quick to address any potential issues and made sure the day went by smoothly. As bride and groom, we were truly able to be immersed in and enjoy our special day thanks to Rebecca and her team. Our guests were impressed by how coordinated our wedding was and we received a lot of compliments on how enjoyable the whole experience was for them.
Rebecca is kind, professional, and experienced. Don’t wait any longer and just reach out to Rebecca! It’s the best planning decision you’ll make. She is truly passionate about wedding planning and making your wedding day truly special!

Rebecca and her team were a pleasure to work with!! Coming from the Wedding & Event industry for 8 years, myself, I can say that Rebecca and her team know how to deliver the 5-Star Service! It truly takes a village of dedicated and passionate people to deliver a seamless production. I worked directly with Rebecca and her origination and attention to detail is what makes an event successful and memorable!

We hired Rebecca to plan our daughter’s wedding in Southern California. She and her team did an outstanding job!! She worked for an entire year, coordinating all the vendors, the church, the caterer and the reception. Her communication was always prompt and her attention to detail is excellent. On the wedding day, everything went so smoothly. Because Rebecca and her team were working hard behind the scenes, we were able to enjoy our friends and family. She is professional, personable and really cares to give you the wedding of your dreams. We could not have planned this wedding without her. If you are looking for someone to plan your event, we highly recommend Rebecca Calagna!!

Stop reading reviews right now, and book Rebecca and her team for your wedding day! Without a doubt, my wedding day would not have been the same without RCE and I feel so fortunate to have worked with them.
After several rounds of interviews with other coordinators, my fiance and I chose RCE because of their initial impression and interview - right away, they sent over their packages with full transparency and a sample wedding packet to review. We chose the coordination package which was competitively priced but we felt well worth it. My first conversation with Rebecca was so on point, too - every detail covered and question answered with zero hesitation. Even though we weren’t full planning clients, Rebecca was never more than an email, phone call, or text away with recommendations and answers for the year that we spent planning our day.
From that initial inquiry to the very last moment of our wedding day, Rebecca was organized, prepared, professional, knowledgeable, but also just so incredibly kind. She felt like a friend that you’ve known for a long time - one that makes you feel seen & heard, that sticks up for you, that feels all the feels with you. The bride and groom are her priority, and you can tell! She went to bat for us several times with family, vendors, and our venue, making sure our wants and needs for the day were covered!
I’m ridiculously Type-A, and she spent a lot of time with us reviewing details of our day, perfectly grooming our wedding day packet, connecting with vendors, and doing site walkthroughs. Never once did she ever make me feel like I was asking too much. She even went above and beyond in the days right before the wedding to help us find glassware for our signature drinks after glassware from the venue fell through.
On the wedding day, Melissa from the RCE team was with me from the morning until we got to the venue, and she was an absolute dream of a human as well! She kept me organized, calm, and collected and was also just so fun to be around for the day!
Meanwhile at the venue, Rebecca and her team set up every detail of our ceremony and reception exactly as I had instructed and envisioned. I walked into the venue in tears at how beautiful everything was, and I know how many details they must have dedicated time and attention to to make sure that vision was achieved.
There were so many instances of them going above and beyond on our wedding day, and I can’t say it enough - hire the RCE team to be your wedding fairy godmothers. Everyone always told me my wedding day would be the best day of my life, and I always thought that was a bit dramatic - until I had my wedding day, the best day of my life, and I have Rebecca and the RCE team to thank for how perfect it was. Thank you with my whole heart, RCE!

Rebecca and her team went above and beyond our expectations! Our special day could not have gone smoothly without them. Rebecca was incredibly professional and easy to communicate with throughout the planning. Melissa and Megan ensured everything went smoothly and taken care of the day before and on the day of. This team is highly reliable, organized, efficient, and great to work with. Anyone who has worked with them know how amazing they are at what they do and that they genuinely care about their clients. My husband and I would like to thank you, again, from the bottom of our hearts, for all that you have done for us. We were able to enjoy our special day, stress-free, because of them!

I cannot recommend Rebecca and her team enough. As someone who works in the event industry, I knew I wanted a coordinator to handle the finishing touches and day of details so that I could relax (a bit) and enjoy the day. After an intro call I knew that Rebecca was going to be perfect and I was 100% right. Our wedding wasn't huge and Rebecca came with a small army of professionals. Her team kept us on the timeline and the day was flawless. They setup the reception, took photos for us so we'd have a few right away, worked with all our vendors, and even helped one of our guests setup a special surprise performance with the DJ which ended up being one of my favorite parts of the day. Rebecca's experience, knowledge, and kindness make her the best in the business.

I never knew how important it is to have a wedding coordinator. The experience we had with Rebecca and her team was amazing !! I have high standards and expectations and these ladies surpassed those. I felt like royalty !! They made our special day, stress-free and unforgettable, myself and my wedding party didn't lift a finger. The day of our wedding when we ran into any type issue or problem Rebecca was there to put our minds at ease and handle the situation like a pro. Even the next day when we couldn't find certain belongings , she was just a text away, responded immediately and she new exactly where all of our belongings were. Rebecca and her teams professionalism is overall unmatchable. We will recommend Rebecca to everyone we know who's planning a wedding . We love you ladies !! THE OCHOAS 05:05:23 ♥️

We hired Rebecca and her team for 60-day partial planning and day-of coordination. I knew I wanted someone to help with all the details and make sure the day ran smoothly-- and so I could just relax and enjoy the day. Tough for me, as a type A person.
But now I can say with confidence hiring Rebecca and her team was hands down one of the best investments we made for our wedding. Here's why.
1. Kindness: Rebecca and every one of her assistants were just incredible. She brought in 3 assistants because our wedding had a lot of moving parts and they were all so wonderful. It felt like we had an army of friends around us. And, I especially noticed how kind and collaborative they were with all our vendors. To me, that is a sign of utmost class and not something you always see. It was important to me, and I didn't even know that it would be.
2. Organization: We brought on Rebecca only for the last 60 days. She had shared a recommended vendor list before that, and also was available for a few questions/gut checks even before she officially started, which to me was a sign she really cared. I had already hired almost all my vendors at the 2-month mark, but Rebecca brought it all together. She became the point of contact for everyone, and when we had a few vendor mishaps she was there to help us sort through it all. At this point I felt a little chaotic. So many details, so many vendors, so little time. But, with Rebecca on my team I never doubted it would all work out. I just started adding her to every email exchange because it made me feel better to have her totally in the loop. She came to my final walk through at the venue and it was just so comforting and helpful to have her there. Her timeline packet is legendary.
3. Unexpected turns: Without fail, every wedding has a few bumps. Ours was no different. For example, my dad was supposed to drive a golf cart and instead just left and I turn around and Melissa is doing it, without skipping a beat! And unfortunately we had a medical emergency with a family member during dinner and the whole RCE team was totally all over it and after everything was okay were able to quickly pivot and get the wedding and timeline back on track. And again, with so much warmth and kindness during a very stressful moment. I am so grateful to them.
4. Little extras: Bree took my phone during getting ready and took a bunch of photos so that I had them the next day. Without me even asking! Melissa literally was on the ground to help me with my shoes when we were going to take couple portraits at the beach. Melissa also took a bunch of polaroids during the reception just to add to the candids. They packed up everything at the venue at the end if the night, put it in a box and put it at our house. I woke up the next morning wondering "where is my ceremony dress... my veil... my shoes... the champagne glasses... where are all the cards... where is EVERYTHING." Dear reader, everything was perfectly packed up in two boxes and in my husbands childhood bedroom. How? I will never know. And that is the RCE magic.
I cannot recommend RCE to you enough. If you're reading this, they're already on your radar and you should just hire them.

We found Rebecca’s team through our venue in Tustin. Our wedding day was perfect thanks to Rebecca and her team. We hired them for the last two months of coordination. They were very organized and handled so many of the details. It was such a stress relief to have them there at the rehearsal and wedding.

We decided to go with Rebecca because she provided us with a sample of a DETAILED timeline. After that we knew she would be perfect. Although she is a very busy person, she excelled our expectations tremendously. Our day was perfect because of her. We had a few meetings to make sure everything was going well during the planning process. Thank you RCE team for making our day go smoothly and not stressful!

The venue we chose had some communication issues and was not instilling any confidence. They recommended a coordinator and so we chose Rebecca as she was a direct affiliate. Honestly, that may have been THE best decision we made. Rebecca is great at communicating and even as a day-of coordinator, started helping us get our bearings straight months before the wedding. Her resources were super helpful and the sample layout she showed us from previous weddings was just about exactly what we needed.
In the couple weeks before the wedding, it was really hard to just let go of the process and trust her, but she definitely knows how to organize all our different vendors and make sure we’re on track. Still, this was all just emails and meetings and we were still worried about the actual day and barely got any sleep.
We should’ve just slept well and trusted her. We had to pivot last minute to an indoor wedding due to rain, but she and her team did an extraordinary job making sure everything looked amazing, set up correctly, and that we were exactly where we needed to be. Their attention to detail and experience is obvious and everything went as smoothly as it could’ve been even with all the adjustments due to weather. She made sure we were fed and hydrated and stayed the entire time. We had multiple guests tell us that it was probably the one of the most organized and well-prepared weddings they’ve been to.
We’ve talked to a couple of the vendors after the wedding and they remarked at how cooperative and friendly she was rather than demanding as apparently some other coordinators could be. I’m not surprised either, she’s such a nice person on email and in-person and we couldn’t be happier with how she made everything come together. 10/10, thank you!

Our wedding day was perfect, in large part thanks to Rebecca and her team. We hired Rebecca for month-of coordination, so the first time we got to meet her in-person was at our final venue walkthrough. I was starting to feel very stressed about all the last minute details, but Rebecca asked all the right questions and was super professional, while also being so sweet and friendly that I immediately felt at ease.
On the day of, Rebecca brought two assistants. I felt like they were at my beck and call all day as if they were my own personal assistants, which was a service I didn’t expect at all. They were constantly checking in with me, getting things for me, offering me water, and at one point even offered to go get me a snack before the ceremony. I’ve been a bridesmaid in a handful of other weddings and I’ve never been as impressed with a coordinator as I was with Rebecca. My parents also commented on how lovely Rebecca and her team were.
At some point after the wedding when we were on our honeymoon, I realized that I had forgotten to pack up our custom name cards that I had made for our place settings, but when I unpacked all of our wedding stuff, I found that Rebecca (or someone on her team) had packed it for us!
Rebecca and her team are seriously the best. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Rebecca to all of our friends. Thank you again, Rebecca and team!

Rebecca Calagna and her team are our wedding saviors!
My wife and I were in a whole lot of trouble before we met Rebecca. We didn't know a lot of vendors and we had 2 months to go before the big day. We shopped around and interviewed around 3 coordinators, but out of everyone, we just had a good vibe with Rebecca. She was so warm and kind when we first met her. She had a lot of vendor contacts, with reasonable prices, and they were very good.
We had around 3 in person meetings with her before the wedding, and a couple of zoom calls in the 2 month span that we were preparing. She always made us feel that she was around and holding our hand every step of the way.
During the wedding itself, she and her team were impeccable! Rebecca was already great, but her staff were equally as great as her with awesome personalities. All of the needs of my wife were attended to by her team during the wedding day, and my wife enjoyed their service and company.
Post-wedding, we are so proud that fate led us to each other. More than being our wedding coordinator, Rebecca is a good friend to us and we will surely get her again if we have other events.

A few months before my wedding I had to change locations from Mexico to LA due to safety reasons and was super stressed I had to start from scratch. I brought on Rebecca and her team as a “day of” planner and let me tell you, I wouldn’t have survived without them. Not only did she help me navigate what I needed to do in terms of planning before the big day, but did such a beautiful job setting up and decorating the wedding. I had DIY’d everything so we didn’t have the typical vendors who would set up and break things down. Her team did it ALL and so beautifully. If I could give Rebecca and her team more than 5 stars I would!!

Rebecca was one of the best people we worked with for our wedding. My wife and I hired Rebecca for a day of coordinator for our 250 person wedding and she exceeded every one of our expectations.
Prior to the wedding date: she met with us multiple times and created to most detailed and thorough timeline for the day of. She met with our venue and vendors with us during the week prior and ensured all the vendors were all on the same page. She sent each vendor a timeline and coordinated amongst all of them. On the day before the wedding, she attended our rehearsal and allowed us to pack her car full of our supplies for the next day for her team to set up.
On the day of the wedding: Rebecca and her team showed up ready to get things done. Rebecca handled each hiccup during the day and made sure my wife and I were focused on enjoying the day. She made sure everything was set up in the way we imagined it to be. She brought us appetizers during cocktail hour while we were taking photos. She helped learn how to bustle my wife's dress and made sure she was ready for the grand entrance. We had some difficulties with our venues bar, which she took care of. At the end of the event, her and her team had already packed everything up into the respective cars so there was nothing for us to worry about at the end of the night.
Honestly, the list can go on and on about all the things Rebecca did. Rebecca was one of the best things we did for our wedding. She is thorough and thoughtful, yet efficient. I highly highly recommend booking Rebecca for your upcoming events.

Absolutely wonderful!! Rebecca’s team made our Wedding Day so relaxing and fun! Her assistants, Megan and Melissa, were so helpful and sweet, absolutely the best. We enjoyed their company so much, they kept us laughing and smiling during the entire event.
We are so thankful for Rebecca jumping in and helping us to get all the final details of our wedding situated about a month before the event. She didn’t miss a beat. We immediately felt relieved knowing we were in good hands with her kind help and attention to all of the details! We feel so fortunate that we found Rebecca and that she was still available!
Rebecca and her team were also so sweet and attentive with checking on our parents/family members, making sure they were enjoying themselves and had drinks, etc. Our friends and family were so impressed. And thanks to Rebecca for reminding us to "smile" as we approached our walk down the aisle!
We highly recommend Rebecca Calagna Events, she really puts her heart and soul into her work and it shows! Don’t hesitate to call her and book her for your event! I guarantee you will be happy you did!

If you're deciding whether you should hire a planner/coordinator, do it, and then hire Rebecca. I had the pleasure of working with Rebecca to help plan, design, and coordinate my March wedding in Laguna Beach and she was critical to its success. She ensured the planning and day went smoothly, was extremely effective in dealing with some other difficult vendors, and was very responsive throughout the planning process. She has a calming presence and strength that's so important during the chaos of wedding planning.
I have very limited design skills, and Rebecca helped translate my vague vision into the most beautiful wedding ceremony and reception space that I've seen. It was stunning. She did all of the little details (signs, programs, menus, place cards, etc.) that brought it all together so perfectly. Rebecca also helped us save money with her design skills and tips. She researched the traditions for our Persian-American ceremony and along with the florist, created a sofreh aghd that was more beautiful, modern, and "us" than the inspiration photos I sent.
All of our friends and family were able to enjoy the day as much as us because Rebecca's team took care of absolutely everything. Rebecca and her team are simply the best and the #1 reason our wedding was a success! I'm so grateful for Rebecca and her team and highly recommend them for your event. Thank you, Rebecca!!

Rebecca and her team brought my vision to life and helped create a wedding I will never forget!!
Organization and structure is crucial to me and that was provided with the highest degree of excellence. Each and every detail of our wedding was planned and executed to perfection.
During the wedding, it was extremely windy and Rebecca alongside her team were able to quickly adapt to the changing environment and make sure things went off without a hitch.
Rebecca provides a service that is as customized as you desire. We went with the full consultation package where she helped us plan every step of the journey.
The saddest part of this whole experience is that I won't be sending Rebecca 100 messages and emails daily about wedding items now that it is over..... however, I am already looking forward to utilizing her services again soon for planning another event!! =}
If you are reading this, do not hesitate to give her a call. It will surely be worth your time!!

Highly recommend hiring Rebecca and team for your big day!! We hired for the day-of coordinator package and the team made our day so smooth & perfect! Even though we did day-of, Rebecca was always available to answer questions & help with wedding planning (referring vendors, etc) well before the wedding day. Rebecca was so easy to work with, paid attention to all the details and put together an amazing timeline for our wedding weekend! We had the absolute BEST time at our wedding thanks to Rebecca & team for running the day smoothly behind the scenes. If you are considering hiring a coordinator, definitely recommend it (so worth it!!) and hire Rebecca Calagna Events!!

Rebecca and her team are amazing!!!!! I'm so glad I found Rebecca. Rebecca and her team are very professional, very organized, and simply very kind and pleasant people. Our wedding was on October 9, 2021, and our coordinator was Julianne. Julianne and the team exceeded our expectations! They made our wedding day a dream come true. Everything went so smoothly and stress-free. Everybody at our wedding told us that we got the best coordinator because it was impossible not to notice how professional and nice Julianne and the team were. I'm very grateful for what they did. I loved every second of our wedding. I know that planning a wedding might be very stressful, and if you are looking for a wedding coordinator, you shouldn't even think twice and hire Rebecca and her team. They are indeed THE BEST!!!!!

Rebecca & her team were amazing! I had to reschedule my wedding twice, once for COVID and another time for a conflicting surgery. Rebecca was very understanding and helpful through it all! The day of, Zee & team made sure all the details where taken care of, including wiping off my excessive sweating. Our big day had a few routine hiccups, so I was glad I had the RC team to take care of them for us. My family and I were able to enjoy our special moments while the wedding ran smoothly and ahead of schedule. As an ex-hospitality manager; I appreciate their professionalism, sense of urgency, and warm spirits. Thank you all so much!

Rebecca was such a pleasure to work with! She went out of her way to accommodate my last minute wedding date request, and even sent another staff member to help her out with fulfilling my request! When I arrived the day of my wedding, I could not have been more pleased with how she instructed the other vendors to set up (it was exactly what I requested)! Rebecca ensured all things ran accordingly, and I literally did not have to stress about anything. I definitely recommend Rebecca and her staff members and would not waste your time looking elsewhere. Thank you for making our day so perfect, Rebecca!

We were truly blessed to have Rebecca Calagna as our wedding planner. We chose Balboa Bay Resort in July 2021 for our venue and she had planned many previous weddings there and was familiar with the venue. She is a true professional and our wedding was a dream come true! Rebecca and her team ensured every detail was perfect and we are still reminiscing about how wonderful it was! Thank you Rebecca!!

Rebecca Calagna and her team are the best decision my husband and I made when planning our wedding. Our original date was set for April 2020. Rebecca provided alternative venue options, but ultimately we stayed with our original venue choice. Rebecca and her team brought our wedding vision to life! My husband and I are forever grateful for the RC TEAM. They handled everything beautifully and were very detail oriented throughout the entire wedding planning and day of coordinating. We took in every moment of our wedding day thanks to Rebecca and her team. They kept us on track and on time the whole day and are beyond grateful for how smoothly the whole day went. Our expectations were exceeded and we felt like the Grooms we were meant to be on our wedding day. Thank you so much, Rebecca and Team!

I didn’t think I would need a day-of coordinator for my backyard wedding but I am SO relieved I had Rebecca and her team there to make our special day run smoothly. From our first conversation to getting a sweet card from her after our wedding, Rebecca has been amazing from start to finish.
I appreciate her attention to detail, organization, love, and care that she puts into her work. She is so fun to work with and thought of literally everything! She kept me on task and organized and kept all of our vendors organized, too. Knowing every detail was handled by such an amazing team let me truly enjoy my wedding day from the moment I woke up to when we left the reception!
If you are on the fence about hiring a coordinator for your wedding or event, I highly recommend hiring Rebecca! Best decision I’ve made…after choosing to marry my honey of course! Thank you, Rebecca!!!

I do not have enough words to express how spectacular Rebecca and her team is! They came in weeks before the wedding and made everything so smooth and worry free. The day of the wedding was a breeze! The people we hired to do our cake made a mistake and only put three layers when we ordered four. When I mentioned it to one of Rebecca’s assistants, she informed that Rebecca had noticed the error and had already placed a call and took care of it. Rebecca was on top of it! I could not be more grateful for her and her team. They are kind and truly care for each bride, the wedding party and their families. They are amazing ❤️❤️

Rebecca went above and beyond our expectations. We met her and her team at a vendor fair and felt absolutely at ease chatting with them. We decided make room in our budget for a coordinator, and it was totally worth it. Rebecca is organized and attentive. Planning with her struck a good balance of her being excited for the unique elements we wanted to incorporate and asking us about details we had never even considered. For us brides, we only plan a wedding once, but Rebecca has done this over and over, and her experience shows in her attention to detail. She is responsive and proactive. When our venue cancelled a month out, Rebecca was able to find a venue that was even better than our original in the same area and price range. The wedding day went smoothly and I was able to sit back and enjoy our day as our planning fell into place. I count myself very lucky to have met Rebecca and her team!

WOW! Rebecca Calagna and her team are all that and more! When planning our daughter's wedding our biggest expectation in regards to hiring a coordinator was that on the day of the wedding the coordinator would handle absolutely everything and we would not be asked any questions regarding planning, venue, seating charts, etc. It was our desire to take in every moment and not forget a single detail of that day. Well, I can tell you that not one question was asked of us, we took in every moment, our daughter's smile is forever imprinted on our hearts and we enjoyed every part of the wedding! We 100% attribute that to Rebecca and her team. Rebecca's attention to detail during the planning phase and the day of are executed with precision. Punctuality is the team's middle name. They kept us on track and on time the whole day without ever making us feel rushed. Our guests never felt like they were waiting around. The politeness in which they operate makes you want to be friends far after the day is over. As the parents of the bride, one of the best decisions we made was asking Rebecca to coordinate our daughter's wedding. We are beyond grateful for how smoothly the whole day went. Our expectations were FAR exceeded. Truly, we felt like the heavens smiled down on our daughter's wedding. Thank you Rebecca and Team!

Where do I even start? Rebecca and her team exceeded my expectations and truly made my wedding day a dream come true. During COVID times, we had everything working against us at one point but Rebecca and her team all showed up with smiles on their faces happy to help with whatever was needed. They paid close attention to detail and nothing was left out or forgotten. The girls at one point even got the party started doing the cha-cha slide on the dance floor (one of my favorite memories of the day). Rebecca also made my rose gold acrylic wedding invites which came out stunning! I had a vision that I was not sure would be able to be met but, once again, she exceeded my expectations. Hiring Rebecca and her team was the best decision I made during the wedding planning process. I would highly recommend her to any bride.

Great experience working with Rebecca to make our special day stress free!
Package purchased: The Big Day (aka last month planning and day of coordination)
We chose Rebecca and her team to be our day of coordinator and it was a great choice! As part of The Big Day package, the team provided day of services plus support in the final weeks leading up to the wedding. This included checking in on the status of vendors, helping to set timelines, working with the venue and final prep meetings and among other things. Rebecca really helped us in those final couple weeks to lock things down, make some decisions and coordinate with the vendor and other vendors.
And then, on the day of the wedding, they took care of it all! Rebecca and team really helped make the day less stressful and allowed for us to really enjoy getting ready, getting married and celebrating afterwards. Things went smoothly and everything was set out beautifully and we had a great day!
Some key things to highlight:
Professional, but friendly - From Day 1, Rebecca was very professional in our calls, emails and in-person meetings. But you just know when you talk to someone and meet someone like Rebecca that they're friendly, they care about you and that she's going to take care of you
Detailed wedding packet - The wedding packet is a big help to get you organized and to let all of your vendors know when and where to be. Rebecca did a great job getting this packet together, keeping us on task to complete it and then coordinating with all the vendors so everything goes smoothly
Hands-off day of - This is the main reason we hired Rebecca and team and they delivered! They handled the day of details, they put things where they needed to be and everyone got to all the steps along the way at the right time. Can't say enough how little we had to do and how according to plan everything went!
Emergency solver - Something always comes up. That's just weddings for you. Rebecca and her team were very prepared and helped resolve an emergency with the bride's dress and the flower girl's crown. Two things that could've taken away from the original plans were quickly resolved by her and the team!
We had a great wedding day and we know that the work Rebecca and her team did on that day as well as the weeks leading up really helped!

Where to start? First of all, Rebecca Calagna Events was highly recommended by multiple people, venues, etc., this is how I was lucky enough to find her. Rebecca & her team planned & then coordinated my wedding, flawlessly. It was as though everything I was thinking, they had already thought of first, which allowed me to enjoy MY DAY, my man & family - with ZERO STRESS to the small/big details. Everyone loved the simple yet modern rustic vibes to our wedding. Rebecca and her team were trusted to manage each vendor for our ceremony & reception, without me having to check on each phase of decor or placement of objects-creating my Wedding Day vision to a "T" , down to the smallest details. I will send everyone her way as I wish she could plan & coordinate all my family gatherings!! THANK YOU Rebecca FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS for being A PERFECT WEDDING PLANNER/ COORDINATOR!! You were SO reliable & SO organized- througout the ENTIRE process!
** REBECCA & TEAM=FLAWLESS CELEBRATION! **

Rebecca and her team were absolutely incredible the day of our wedding! Not a single thing was forgotten- they kept us on track with timing, they handled issues with unwelcome guests, they even put Band-Aids on my feet and changed my shoes when I just couldn't bear the heels anymore! Rebecca and her team brought all of the details I had been loosing sleep over to life and we couldn't be more thankful for her and her lovely group of ladies! THANK YOU!!
