I was lucky enough to help my son and daughter in law plan the wedding so my review is from a view other than the bride & groom. Where do I even begin? Belinda and her team are just the best of the best. Belinda gets to know her bride and groom very well. She uses that information to give them exactly what they envision in their wedding. I highly recommend having her coordinate the entire wedding not just the day of. It makes all the difference. She is honest and straight forward which I appreciate. She drives every aspect of the wedding from start to finish. She thinks of every detail before it's even a thing. Her guidance and suggestions are on point. Her attention to detail is unparallel. From esthetics, to logistics, to reading body language and making sure everyone is having a great time, it's an unbelievable operation. She has it down to a science. The attention that the bride and groom get on the wedding day is absolutely white glove service and makes ALL the difference so that they enjoy the day. They didn't have to worry about a thing. If there was a glitch along the way, they didn't even know because she takes care of it behind the scenes. They truly get to enjoy every second of the process and most importantly the wedding itself and that my friends, is what it's all about. I would hire her again without hesitation.
Belinda is an AMAZING event planner, she did our wedding and we just told her a little bit about our vision and we left everything else up to her expertise!!! We wanted something private, elegant, excellent food and an experience for our guests!! SHE PROVIDED YALL!!! I had my dream wedding from when I was a little girl happen in real time! We are so thankful for her and all her hard work, her and her team made our wedding day the best day of our lives- she had Vivian (one of her employees) by my side all day, anything I needed she had on her or got me anything! When I wanted my space from guests I gave her a look and it happened. We were able to ENJOY our wedding day and not have to worry about a thing! You will be extremely happy with Belinda and what she has to provide, whether that's your wedding or business event! My husbands company and Belinda moving forward and going to be doing his events/chairties now!!!
If you're looking for a sign, this is it!! Belinda and her team gave my husband and I, a wedding beyond our wildest dreams. From the very beginning, she had a presence to her that not only exuded confidence and professionalism but she was also so much fun!! Everybody, from our wedding party to our guests, were so impressed with how she ran the show. My husband and I had very little knowledge about weddings but Belinda made us feel so secure in what we were planning with her. Not only that, but she ensured that everything was within budget, which was super important for us. She and her team are truly professionals because not once did I ever see them break a sweat or miss a step. She connected us to amazing vendors that she knew would fit our style and personalities. I am a very nervous person and get easily flustered but on the big day I did not feel a single ounce of stress. My husband and I felt like royalty! Anything we needed was covered or prepared before we even realized we needed it. Anytime I had a question, she was prompt with a response. I cannot thank her enough, every time I think about our wedding I want to cry from happiness because it was beyond perfect. Belinda and Sarah, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you so so much!!!
We had our wedding on 6/21/24 and we were blessed with an amazing wedding planner. Belinda was with us from the very beginning of our wedding journey to the end and we must say she was truly a blessing. She is the real MVP! Belinda and her team were very attentive, encouraging, and a joy to be around overall. Our families can’t stop talking about how great the team was. We would highly recommend Sovereign Bee to anyone out there getting married or having any other type of event. Five out of five stars, she’s worth every bit of it. Thank you again Belinda and special thanks to the rest of your team for making our wedding day memorable. ~The Santiagos~
Belinda was an absolute godsend throughout my wedding planning journey. From the very start, her organization and the tools she provided made everything so much easier. Her communication was not only consistent but also very honest, always aligning with my vision and preferences.
What truly stood out was Belinda's creativity. She didn't just execute my ideas, she enhanced them with her recommendations and unique touches that perfectly complemented my vision. Whether it was deciding on decor themes or finalizing intricate details like invitations, dinner menus and signage, Belinda was there every step of the way, offering invaluable advice as a DIY bride.
Her expertise extended beyond just planning. Belinda was instrumental in addressing my vendor concerns. She provided insightful pointers and ensured seamless coordination among all parties involved, which alleviated so much stress.
On the day of the wedding, Belinda and her assistant Vivian were nothing short of amazing! They were organized, keeping everything on track and handling situations with grace. In fact, there were moments I didn't even realize there was an issue until they had already resolved it! Their guidance throughout the night was invaluable, ensuring every detail was executed flawlessly.
Belinda's dedication to my wedding was commendable, making you feel as if you are the only client she has. She was transparent with her opinions and helped me make informed decisions that ultimately saved me from stressful moments. If you're looking for a wedding planner who is not only professional and efficient but also genuinely cares about making your day perfect, look no further than Belinda. Trust me, you need her in your life! Fit her into your budget!! You know it’s serious when the groom can’t stop raving about her and says that he understood why I needed her.
I cannot recommend Belinda highly enough, she turned what could have been a stressful experience into a joyous and memorable occasion. She even checked in with us the next day and after the honeymoon!
I don’t know if it’s wedding blues or maybe it’s just that I miss you lol But either way thank you, Belinda, for being an amazing person and everything you did to make our wedding day absolutely magical!
Cannot be more thankful that I was able to have Belinda and her team on my wedding day. I couldn't have done it without her. From getting ready to the end of the night she was there for me and my bridal party. Strap broke off my dress, no problem she sewed it right back on, coordinating group photos, managing the timeline, and running our rehearsal, and last time picking up decor for me. She kept everyone in check! Keep the communication open between her and her team and your day will go amazingly!
Shout out to her son, Armani, for taking care of our baby (dog) on our day.
I loved working with Belinda and Sarah!!! No doubt that without Belinda and the Sovereign Bee team our wedding day would not have gone as smoothly as it did. The moment Belinda walked in I knew I could relax!! The team handled everything seamlessly and professionally, Belinda’s attention to detail and energy is unmatched!! Sarah was absolutely wonderful, she made me as the bride feel calm and handled all the dynamics of the day, all I can say is….can we all be besties?! Highly recommend Belinda and the Sovereign Bee team
Dear Belinda,
God’s timing is always perfect for everything and anything I have ever prayed for. I always pray that it be His will and not mine. He will put people or circumstances in our lives for a season and or reasons that are necessary for that matter. When I was blessed to speak with you about asking Lulu, now my beautiful WIFE, to marry me, I knew God answered another prayer. Move forward to discussing and planning our magical day, you were again another answered prayer. Your attention to detail, guidance to your network of vendors and infectious energy, kept us so at ease and excited for the day to come. Thursday April Fourth Two-thousand Twenty Four Belinda, Armani, Jenn and Aneudy showed us the love, support and happiness that all couples should receive in such momentous celebration. From keeping my mother in law happy despite the little hiccup 😜, to taking care of their dog Duke, resolving my nephew’s flight cancellation, Jenn making sure my beautiful WIFE ate and Aneudi being so attentive to our dads. We cannot thank you all enough for celebrating, witnessing and being present on the day our new journey began and happy to have added you to our extended family. To any couple looking to have your wedding day be as flawless as ours was hire The Sovereign Bee! 🐝
Let me tell you…Belinda is an AMAZING person inside and out. We had our wedding on 12/30/2023 and it wouldn’t have went as smoothly as it did without the support and spotless detailing from Belinda and her team. She made sure everything went exactly as planned and even the little details you don’t even think about, was covered by Belinda. She asked me what my stress level was and I told her a 10/10 but that diminished to a 0 after a phone call with her. Her personality is unmatched! I’m super particular about the way I want things and I only told Belinda once how I wanted everything and no followup questions were asked! Can you find that somewhere else?! I don’t think so! Everything was executed as perfectly and precisely as how I envisioned it. For example, the layout of how I wanted the candles next to the centerpieces on each table, was just a mere single text image I sent to Belinda, and she brought that same image to life on every single table without asking me one single question. She made sure I was around good vibes for my big day and handled every single person with respect, while getting the job done. Even her team members are out of this world. I was getting nervous right before walking down the aisle and wanted to pray, so her team member did just that! We held hands and prayed. If you’re looking for someone that does everything ABOVE and BEYOND, Belinda is the one for you! My whole family kept raving about her and how she handled everything with attention. The one thing my husband kept talking about after the wedding was not the food, not the decor, not even me…it was Belinda!!! And I did the same. She will make your event special, stress-free, and enjoyable!
Belinda and her team were amazing. They helped our day run smoothly and as the bride I felt no stress whenever a little thing would come up. I even had some dress issues and she was able to solve it quickly so I could get back to dancing! Highly recommend Belinda exudes confidence and can’t help you relax and enjoy your wedding day.
Belinda is an extraordinary wedding planner who not only met but exceeded our expectations. In just 3 months, she orchestrated a flawless event with meticulous attention to detail, showcasing her creativity and organizational skills. From conceptualizing personalized decor to coordinating with vendors, Belinda's dedication was evident throughout the entire process.
What sets her apart is not only her planning expertise but also her ability to assemble a dream team of vendors who executed our wedding just as flawlessly as she did. The photographer, videographer, florist, cake artist and venue she recommended were exceptional, contributing to the overall success of our special day.
Belinda's clear communication, prompt responses, and seamless management of potential challenges made the planning process stress-free and enjoyable. On the big day, she ensured every detail was executed with precision, allowing us to fully enjoy the moment.
Our wedding was a true reflection of our vision, thanks to Belinda's and her team commitment to perfection. If you're looking for a wedding planner who goes above and beyond, Belinda is the epitome of excellence in her craft. We can't thank her enough for making our special day absolutely UNFORGETTABLE. Highly recommend her for her exceptional planning and vendor curation skills!
Belinda was recommended to me by a friend who couldn’t say enough good things about how special her day was with Belinda and her team. I am very much type A and knew that I needed someone to help execute our vision. I am excited to share my own experience with Sovereign Bee. What do they do? They helped me with almost everything! Belinda and Jen were beyond professional. I knew they handled celebrity events but when I tell you for the first time in my life, I felt like a celebrity. I wanted a very specific entrance, timed to a dramatic pause in a song. Belinda and Jen wore head sets, timed the bridal party walking, and those doors opened right as the beat dropped and at that moment, I wanted to cry tears of happiness. If you are on the fence about hiring a day of coordinator, please hire Belinda and her team. Our wedding WOULD NOT have been what it was without them. It made our wedding exceptional. Sovereign Bee is the gold standard.
wedding day stress free. My husband and I had the time of our lives and didn’t have to worry or stress about making sure the day was magical. The team was beyond helpful and organized. There were more than enough hands to be in all the places that we couldn’t be, making sure what needed to be done was taken care of. Jenn really is a rockstar, she was the perfect calm to the possible storm. I can’t say thank you enough. Belinda is the perfect coordinator and demands the attention and respect needed especially if you have a large bridal party. I loved every minute of it because I didn’t have to do it. I would highly recommend them to support you in making your day run smoothly.
My wedding was this past weekend and I was fortunate to have Jenn and Vivian by my side. I am deeply indebted to these two people for how well they managed all of the issues that came up. Vivian arrived at my salon and guided me throughout every portion of my morning, all while Jenn was handling the setup at the venue. They kept communicating ensuring our vision was carried out. Several things came up with my decorator and DJ, but they made me feel calm while they handled the situation.
Vivian and Jenn were a Godsend, and I will forever speak praises for all they did for us. I HIGHLY recommend working with the team at Sovereign Bee, they will work to make your day beautiful.
Belinda and her crew were a necessity at our wedding. When I was first asking her about what services she provides she said she couldn’t possibly put into words what they do besides all of the basics you would expect from a day or coordinator and she couldn’t have been more right.
All of my things and my husbands things were accounted for at all times, someone was there with a comfortable pair of shoes, a drink, a solution or an ear to vent to.
They broke up awkward family conversations
They pinned my important broach onto themselves to ensure it was safe
They found service in a place where there was none to contact my bus company that didn’t show up
They went back and forth from the hotel rooms to transport our luggage
They took our drinks/ bags phones/ bouquets held babies when we needed to take a picture.
They stood security when I had to hide in the bathroom
They advocated (and won) for my wants even when the venue pushed back.
They made sure craig and I didn’t see eachother until it was time
And then made sure we had as much private time (and stood security) as we wanted.
They took behind the scenes footage
They laughed and bonded with family
I honestly think somehow Belinda even stopped the rain.
The best most honest review I could give would be the text message I sent them on my way home from the hotel:
Hello guys!
Craig and I are on our way home from our dream wedding and can’t even wait until we get there to give our gratitude.
You three gave us the wedding we dreamed of having.
We would have had an inside ceremony with the sun shining if it wasn’t for you.
The three of you brought different incredible strengths and handled everything seamlessly. To have you guys on our side and by our side was legitimately priceless.
All needs were anticipated and fixed before they were even said.
You guys went above and beyond and we know how difficult certain parts were but you all handled it with grace.
So many people came to me to say Jen brought them or helped them with something and I just don’t know how because I felt like you were by myside the whole night, helping keep track of all my crap. Mike keeping guard to make sure no one bothered or saw me and helping pack all the crap at night, looking for an anklet that wasn’t even lost 😂
Belinda simply just…
Got.
Shit.
Done & Handled and made the impossible possible.
Because of you guys we were able to enjoy our day together to really celebrate our love. What an amazing team of thoughtful caring hard working people you guys are and Craig and I will be forever grateful for you.
Hiring Sovereign Bees was the best decision we made for our wedding. Belinda and Jennifer were with us every step of the way making sure our wedding was seamless. They were able to take all the worry and pressure off of us and handle all the details of the day. They also did a ton of behind the scenes photos and videos of our wedding which was the best surprise and is a must for anyone who is considering it! Would recommend them to anyone getting married or hosting a large event. They will get sh!t done!
I had the pleasure of hiring Belinda not just as my planner but as my officiant for 6/2/23. I knew from before I started planning my wedding I definitely was going to get a planner. Belinda was the best fit with her fierce professionalism, and I couldn't be any more happier. Anything I needed or was missing she was there to fulfill what I needed. If I had an issue she was there to resolve it the best way she can. She connected me to some amazing vendors that helped me with my wedding process. We had little hiccups the day of the wedding but Belinda was so on point that none of it mattered. The car service I had just so happen to have maintenance issues, the florist brought 12 centerpieces instead of 15, the dj got into a terrible accident so the MC had to be the DJ. If it wasnt for her and her team I wouldve lost my mind. Belinda and her team really made sure I enjoyed every minute of my wedding. People dont know what went on behind the scenes. All I keep hearing is how beautiful the wedding was and its the best wedding they have been to. The day of my wedding Jen was literally like my shadow, everywhere I went and any time I turned around there she was to either fix my dress & shoes, serve my drink, and calm my nerves 😄 Serena was also there to ensure everything ran smooth and hyping up the bridal party. They did not let me stress about anything at all when I tell you nothing I mean NOTHING! All they kept saying is we got this! The ceremony was very very heartfelt. Something my family as well as my wife and I will never ever forget. Belinda is the best officiant! She told our love story in such a way that made people laugh and cry including us. It was very beautiful and it didn't rain 🙏 I have to thank Belinda and her team so much for making this wedding so memorable and convincing us to do the 1st look. I would hire all of them again and highly recommend them. People think you dont need a planner but trust me you will regret it. Another thing I have to add is finding the right planner which in my case for same sex couples wasn't an issue when I came across Belinda. She made us feel very comfortable and very welcoming. It was all love from day one. so which event you ladies want to help me with my 40th or my oldest daughter sweet 16? 😄🙌
Just had my wedding this past May and thanks to Sovereignbee and her team the day ran smoothly and on schedule. I hired Sovereignbee for 12 hour day of coordinator. Belinda , and her team assigned to us (Amanda and Vivian ) were super involved and hands on not only with the venue, vendors, logistics of it all etc, but also with us the bride and groom and the wedding party and everyone really. They were always around to help where it was needed, or guide us, and answer any questions or do us any favors. Vivian was my shadow literally always touching up my makeup after crying and answering to all my requests. She even helped me into both of my dresses. Meanwhile Amanda was also a doll! Thanks to her pinning my dress we were able to do our choreographed first dance as it seemed it was not possible to do with my dress because even bussled it kept making me slip and slide while practicing our dance. So she made this all possible. She was truly so sweet. Belinda and her girls at all times were keeping me hydrated and getting me in and out of my shoes. The list goes on and on of all the many things these girls were a part of. Brides, do not hesitate on hiring Sovereignbee. The best investment in my opinion is a day of coordinator. Thanks to having one, my husband and I had a stress free day, did not have to lift a finger or worry about anything or be on top of our timeline (which is created by Sovereignbee) because Belinda and her team take charge of it all for 12+ hours. I didn't even have to deal with the maitre as much because Belinda was the middle man which facilitated not having to answer questions and delegate to anyone. Side note: a Maitre D doesn't even do half the things a coordinator does or have as much of an involvement as a coordinator so do not settle for just a Maitre D ladies, it is not the same! Moreover, Belinda definitely brings boss lady energy and she means business and is amazing at what she does. She definitely delivers. On our wedding day unfortunately it started raining during our ceremony time so we had to opt for an indoor wedding on the last second. Everything at this point was s bit chaotic and I was very emotional but the girls made the last minute change work very fast and we were able to stay on schedule. And although I didn’t have the outdoor ceremony I envisioned and longed for, everything worked out in the end. The only one “negative” thing I would say (& I say this just to reiterate that no one is perfect n hicucps may happen) is that I guess in the mayhem of switching ceremony locations and the stress or chaos it may have caused, somewhere along the line, our ceremony lineup was a bit compromised. My husbands grandma was supposed to walk but in the rush of it all although she was lined up ready to go she was somehow asked to sit instead. And although the first few people were lined up correctly my husband mentioned he was asked to switch and he ended up walking second instead of 3rd as rehearsed causing entrance song discrepancy as my groom started walking in to the parents song instead of his and the DJ had to quickly change the song so my groom had his song but by then he was near half way through his entrance. So this was the only “mess up.” But at the end of the day, the day was perfect and the service of these girls was absolutely exceptional. Their personalities are unmatched as well as their work ethic. If I can do it again, id hired them in a heart beat! I actually already miss them. They imprint in you in a way you feel as though they are family. So go ahead girls! Hire Sovereignbee! You wont regret it. Best money spent!
I am over the moon with gratitude for Jennifer, Eli, and Belinda for ensuring that my husband and I had the wedding day of our dreams. We hired Sovereign Bee for 12-hour day-of coordination, and we felt like it's some of the best money we've ever spent. I really thought I had the planning figured out, but now, I honestly don't know what we would have done without them.
The planning process: Belinda onboarded us, then connected us with Jennifer, a consummate professional who was beyond helpful in bringing together all of the pieces in the weeks leading up to the wedding. She carefully reviewed every step to build our schedule and helped us make crucial decisions, especially in response to items that we hadn't even considered. For example, she knew that my mother had passed away, so she suggested having a memory table and arrangement, which I was so grateful to have on the day.
The day of: I'll admit that despite the great security that the planning process brought me, I was still beyond stressed about how everything would actually come together. I need not have been, thanks to this team; Jennifer and her assistant Eli not only kept everything running smoothly all day, but they also made me feel so special, like an absolute queen. They completely anticipated every need I might have had, all while problem-solving as needed and communicating with each of the vendors. When it came time to do our couple and family photos, Jennifer literally drove us around town to the photo locations so that I wouldn't have to walk in my heels. Then, just before walking down the aisle, I realized that I'd completely forgotten that I had a Zoom set up for guests that couldn't make it in person. Jennifer jumped into action and used my phone to stream the ceremony! She was so good at it, in fact, that several of our virtual guests sent messages giving compliments to the cinematographer. Later, when I stepped into the reception hall, I literally gasped - I couldn't believe how perfectly Jennifer and Eli had directed the set up with the venue staff, especially since they had relatively minimal direction from us and our centerpieces and decor were pretty DIY and eclectic. It was beautiful, with every little detail even better than I'd imagined, including Jennifer having made a part of the memory table work that I'd given up on. I'm sure there is so much more that they went above and beyond on that we didn't even see.
If you're looking for a wedding coordinator, do not look elsewhere - book with Sovereign Bee, with my strongest recommendation for Jennifer and Eli.
Belinda and her amazing team made sure that I felt secure on all wedding details. From the prep calls to ensuring I was able to find a Dominican carnival costume for my Hora loca they were there to make sure I was able to see my vision through. The day of the wedding Belinda and her team made sure that everything ran smoothly and made sure that I was taken care of the entire night. I’m obsessed with their work and see myself continuing my relationship with Belinda and her team!
We cannot recommend Sovereign Bee enough! Belinda did a remarkable job for my son's wedding at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden! We had just over 6 months to plan the whole thing, during which time the bride and groom along with my family were all going to be out of the country for a month. Planning this wedding was my responsibility as the MOG and I really knew nothing about the wedding process. When we interviewed Belinda, we told her we needed help finding quality vendors (we only had a venue - nothing else) and her assistance managing the process. Belinda gave us outstanding choices of vendors, any of which would have been perfect. We chose the ones that worked best with the bride and groom with her on-point advice. She was able to help me as I managed invitations, contracts, seating etc. and was always able to give me excellent guidance and reassurance.
As the date neared, Belinda created a detailed timeline to the minute for the entire event, starting with the rehearsal and dinner the night before (she also helped me find a caterer for that). On the day of, she was there and had a full court press of team members starting with two during the bridal party prep at 630 a.m. and growing to 4 as we moved to the venue for the ceremony and celebration. She and her team were visible and available the entire event until we got ready to leave. She had told us don't stress about anything that day as she would handle any problems, keep things moving along and make sure we all had a fabulous celebration. She kept that promise!! I highly recommend her without any reservation!
Belinda and her team are absolutely the best! They took care of all the wedding planning from the beginning to the end. They made this whole planning process less stressful for us. They made sure that all of our ducks were in a row to make our day truly spectacular. Our wedding day was by far the most amazing day of our lives. We still have people telling us about how our wedding was the best wedding they had ever attended. This was all thanks to Belinda and her amazing team!
I walked into a room and saw Belinda sewing my now husbands bow tie onto his shirt. Thats when I knew she really got us! I was oblivious all day and thoroughly enjoyed my day. When you get Belinda she has your back from sewing bowties to keeping everything on time. We are so grateful for her and her team
I spoke with a few wedding planners prior to speaking with Belinda from Sovereign Bee Events. After the first 30 seconds of speaking with her, I knew she was who I needed, just by the way she was controlling the conversation.
I have a strong personality and I ALWAYS need to be in control. Giving that up for MY wedding was tough but it had to be done. I have 2 young children, a 9-5 and was focusing on a weight loss journey. There was absolutely no way I would have time to plan this wedding as well. As soon as I signed the contract, I felt a weight lifted off my shoulders!
I told Belinda: “what I want is a big ass party, with an awesome emcee, hora loca, a drummer, everything and anything to keep the party jumping! I want my guests on the dance floor all night and for them to walk out of there saying it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to”
and she simply said “OK”!
I showed her pictures of what I wanted the decor and florals to look like
and she said “OK”
I think Belinda said “Iris, trust me” 12694 times in the last couple months because as I mentioned before, I can’t let go of control.
No other wedding planner would’ve been able to rein me in and calm me down like Belinda. Her blunt, direct, no nonsense and highly professional personality gets the job done! Everything was executed to perfection. Her and her team had an impeccable timeline to keep us and the vendors on track! I didn’t hear from ANYONE that day and was relaxed all morning getting ready.
Thank you Belinda, from the bottom of our hearts for bringing our wedding dreams to reality! You and Cybill were amazing!
It’s been 3 days since the wedding and I’m still getting texts, tagged on social media and phone calls:
“I had so much fun at your wedding can we do it again?”
“I’m still on a high from your wedding”.
“Yo, you had an 8 Foot Transformer in the middle of the dance floor”
“That was the best wedding ever”
“your wedding planner and team outdid themselves”
It was everything I asked for and more!
Quick shout out to Cybill for running to the liquor store in the morning! I definitely needed that shot (or two 😉) to calm my nerves!
You know your wedding planner did a FANTASTIC job, when all your friends and family give her a round of applause at the goodbye breakfast, the morning after!
Love love love you both! Job well done! 🙌🏽🥰
Where to even begin with Belinda!? I’ve always been a type-a planner for everything in my life and my wedding was no different! After hearing that a day of coordinator was a MUST at my venue, only three months before, I frantically started contacting different day of coordinators. Belinda at Sovereign Bee was the third coordinator that I spoke to and without any hesitation, I booked her immediately after our call. Within the first 15 minutes of us speaking she eased all of my worries and I felt that I had found the right person to execute my vision perfectly. Once booked I immediately gained access to her planning system and checklist and that all in itself was worth its weight in gold. The checklist was so detailed and there were even bullet points on there that I hadn’t even thought of! It was also great in planning out my seating chart and keeping track of guest RSVP responses. Since I was so far along in the planning process I was able to sit with Belinda, go through all of my vendors, make a timeline, set vendor arrival times and work through any details that she may need to know about. I used my venue as a blank canvas and brought in nearly everything, so there was clearly a lot to manage, but she did so without breaking a sweat. She tackled any problems that arose day of with finesse and kept an open line of communication with me the entire day. I was a little nervous at first, but once I went upstairs and saw her in action, I was able to relax and enjoy myself getting ready because I knew she had it all under control. Belinda’s eye for detail is unmatched, and she took what I wanted and made it even better. I’m so thankful for all of the hard work she and her assistant Cybill put into my day as I know it was them who made it all happen! So if you’re a couple who is looking a professional to make your dream wedding a reality, absolutely do not hesitate and book Belinda now!
Belinda and her team were amazing!!! They helped the party run smooth from beginning to end ! Great communication before, during and after the wedding; attention to detail and ready for ANYTHING you can think of!
Belinda, of Sovereign Bee, can only be described as a consummate professional. My daughter had a very clear vision of her perfect wedding. This included having her special day at a the most unique, yet challenging venue. She contacted Sovereign Bee about helping to see her vision become a reality. Belinda immediately knew how to calm everyones’ frayed nerves with a plan of action. Her communication skills left us feeling like we had found the perfect person to help us navigate this unique venue. She displayed great interpersonal skills with all parties involved before, during and after the wedding. On the day of the wedding, she worked tirelessly with venue staff, the florist, the caterer, and every other vendor, to create a wonderland. She knew each aspect of my daughter’s vision and made it a reality. When a problem arose with the DJ during the event, she jumped right in to help. When I needed help bustling my daughter’s dress, she was right there alongside me. When I couldn’t stand up in my heels afterward, she showed such compassion and helped me out of those heels and into more comfortable shoes. She creates synergy with everyone around her. She has style, an eye for detail, and she is just so capable of making wedding dreams come true.
We had our wedding 10/22 and decided to hire a day of coordinator to execute our vision & help us relax on day of. After one consultation with Bee we knew we’d found a great fit! I was so confident that I referred her to a friend who was getting married before me, before I even worked with Bee!
We definitely made the right decision for us. On the day of, Sovereign Bee and her team took care of everything, even when things were not going according to plan as is normative for a wedding day! She was able to support me in the ways I need while being an entire boss and managing everything else!
What I truly loved was her openness to going with our in the moment decisions to ensure our day was special with all the folks we love, even if that meant adjusting the entire schedule, she kept our needs centered. She also connects with you prior to your day to learn your vibe & personality, honestly her approach to coordinating is top tier! I had noooo worries about my day.
Our families have also spoken highly to their appreciation of her in making our day the absolute best! If you’re looking for a coordinator, trust this picky person and go with sovereign Bee and her team, you will NOT regret it!!
Recently got married on November 4th and my wedding was beyond amazing!
Belinda and her team made that day perfect for us. Her professionalism and her attention to detail made it possible to have my dream wedding! She is the best in the business. As a bride I strongly suggest to hire a wedding planner but not just anyone Sovereignbee because she will be you every step of the way!
Thank you so much Belinda and team.
Love the Muscat’s 💖
From the first day that we met with Belinda and her team at Sovereign Bee we knew we were in the BEST hands possible! I can’t thank her and her team enough for making one of the most important days our lives the BEST day of our lives. The energy Sovereign Bee brings is UNMATCHED! Having Belinda and her team on my wedding day allowed me to truly enjoy the day with my bridal party and have zero stress. From the morning glam to preparing to walk through the alter, I can say I loved every moment. I felt like everything was perfect because I didn’t have to worry about anything, why? Because Sovereign’s Bees got it! They truly cover all the bases. They prepare you and are prepared for anything and everything that can happen on your wedding day.

Working with them is the best decision you can make, she is truly Phenomenal!
We got married on 09/16/22. It has to be said that we were dealing with an unorthodox and difficult venue. Without Belinda and her team, our wedding would have almost certainly been a fiasco to say the least.
Our wedding had a very hands-on feel since our venue was not a hall. As part of our packet, we maintained an on-going chat with Belinda for months leading up to the wedding. Belinda constantly made suggestions for materials, provided feedback on the decorations we were purchasing, and spoke with us whenever we needed help bringing our vision to life. She became our eyes and ears when the venue made changes without telling us. Belinda was in our corner from the beginning and was very encouraging to make our wedding OURS. This was extremely important since we were looking for a unique wedding. On our wedding day, Belinda was the first one there and she made sure everything ran as smoothly as possible! We are extremely grateful for everything she did and would highly recommend her to any couples planning their wedding!
Belinda and her staff MADE our wedding. She came highly recommended and I am so lucky to have been able to hire her. My day couldn’t have run smoother & all the fine details were taken care of perfectly. From the time I hired her to coordinate my wedding everything was amazing and she absolutely exceeded my expectations. I can’t imagine not having her and her team there yesterday. They took care of everything I planned and all the things I didn’t even think of. The second Belinda walked into my bridal suite my anxiety was gone and I was able to enjoy the day and not worry about a thing. On top of being an absolute pro at weddings she is so much fun to be around and work with. I love Sovereign Bee and could not possibly recommend them more!
I would like to thank everyone, from Belinda, to Cybill and Vivian! They were everything we paid for, and so much more. Our wedding ceremony was in Central Park NYC with the reception across 'the river' in Weehawken, NJ. They all coordinated everything so the the logistics of it all went smoothly. I can't say enough good about these ladies. Squared away and know their stuff would be an insult, and understatement!!!! Thanks
If you are looking for a wedding planner, here you have a team for them!. A class A TEAM!.
We thought that we could take care of everything all by ourselves but we were wrong!. We hadn't met Sovereign Bee and Belinda's amazing team. The best in town. They kept us calm and collected the day of our wedding. We had chosen an old but outstanding venue, an old Silk Factory that had everything in place for us but that needed a full dedicated team coordinating the in and outs of the set up.
Both Bride and Groom had a dedicated person, they even held our phones answering calls to provide that necessary peace of mind you need that day. Your day.
Keeping us on track with the timeline: it is a mission. But if there's anything that this team knows how to do is that timeline, getting everybody on their positions and right on time.
We had almost a 15 hour event from Ceremony (offsite at a Church) to Reception + 4 hours Afterparty. We had Party buses for out of town guests and bridal party, major installations at the venue, re-purposing flowers, a festival happening right around the corner (blocking streets) with some parking challenge situation but guess what?.
We were not stressed one minute. WE DID ENJOY those 15 hours to the max and I honestly don't know what would've happened if the Sovereign Bee Team wouldn't be by our side.
From:
-Set up
- RSVP's
-Seating Chart
- Tasting the menu and suggesting what transfers from the kitchen and what not
-Knowing the names and coordinating with multiple off site vendors (Floral, Dj, Band, Saxo, Entertainment, Photography, Videography, Liquor, Cakes, Catering, Beauty team for both bridal and groom, Bathroom attendants etc)
-Making sure bride and groom were well attended and always taken care of (you know what going to the restroom means when you have a huge wedding dress, If you don't you will).
-Adding their touch and also enjoying the wedding with their spark was so fun to watch. It was a celebration
Nelson and I couldn't be happier with the results. Every single guest said a common denominator word: Organization. The flow of the event.
Our wedding was definitely one for the books. They call it the wedding of the decade around town. What Sovereign Bee delivered was above our expectations.
Amazing talented professionals and cool humans. We are so happy we found you. Belinda, Vivian, Jennifer and the rest of the team you ladies are outstanding.
Thank yo from the bottom of our hearts!
If we could give Belinda and her team 20 stars we would! Belinda became family during this process and handled every nuance with grace and stride. Going into this year of planning we took all things into consideration, our jobs, vision, not wanting to put added stress on our friends/family etc Belinda and her team are an extension of you to your venue. Perona Farms appreciated her detailed timeline and went to her vs. us throughout the day. We classified it like buying a house: there is a seller’s and buyer’s agent for a reason. From contract negotiations, mailing services, printing, picking up and dropping off signage, details like having an extra team member at the hotel to make sure guests got on the right shuttle were key to making the day run smoothly. I had a dedicated member with me, making sure I stayed hydrated, managed tipping envelopes, reapplied my lipstick, picked out lantern flies that got stuck in my dress during pictures and assisted me in the restroom. She made it possible for us to stay on the dance floor and be present because we knew she had it covered. Thank you y gracias from the Warbricks!
*Bride’s Review*
THIS IS YOUR SIGN TO HIRE SOVEREIGN BEE. NOW.
A little background about my husband and I- we’re originally from NY, but we live in LA now. We both work a lot and on top of that, I just started my second year of law school when he proposed. Adding another flame to the fire, my mom was battling stage 4 ureter cancer. I mention this to say that even though planning a wedding was supposed to be the most magical time of our lives, it felt more like a chore.
Belinda makes you feel like you are her only bride + groom. Whenever you call/text/email she responds with detail and solutions. She studies your personality and knows exactly what vendors to recommend. She listens to you and delivers 1000% more than what you thought you wanted/needed.
Belinda schedules meetings with you throughout the entire planning process. She also recommends various vendors (i.e., florist, DJ, favors, photographers etc.) and will schedule a time to meet with each of them so you can do your own “interview.” Sadly, passed away a month before our wedding. At that point, I was beyond stressed. Belinda took care of everything and told me that I pretty much just need to show up and walk down the aisle. She was right!
Belinda surprised us with an amazing violinist shortly before our wedding began. We couldn’t believe it. She went even further than that and created a beautiful memorial honoring my mom with all the photos and footage I sent to her. I still watch the video every day.
The Bee Team-
Brittany- Every bride needs a Brittany while getting ready for their big day. Her calmness was soothing and even when things started getting crazy closer to showtime, she remained composed and handled whatever it was that was happening. I briefly mentioned to her that I wanted french fries while I was waiting for my bridesmaids to be ready…a few minutes later, she brought me fries and I happily ate them while in my wedding dress.
Cybill- Cybill was with us during our first look/photoshoot. She made sure I looked like a 10 the entire time and that I was hydrated in the blistering heat! She also coordinated getting our bridal party off the bus to join the photoshoot! There were a lot of us!
Jennifer- Jenn. Thank you for helping Eric and me behind the scenes. Jenn stayed in the suite with us making sure we were comfortable while our adrenaline was RUNNING. Jenn went above and beyond making sure all our needs were taken care of. Future Sovereign Bee brides, please let your bridesmaids know that they literally just need to show up and help you celebrate because these girls are ON IT.
Do yourself a favor and hire Sovereign Bee! You will not be disappointed. They care about you and genuinely want to see you happy on your big day!
We celebrated our wedding this past weekend and words cannot truly express how happy we are to have hired Sovereign Bee as our wedding’s day-of coordinator. We had the pleasure of working with Belinda and Vivian from her team. They were incredibly professional, organized,detail-oriented, and did everything to ensure that our day was absolutely perfect. The team was in constant communication regarding our wedding day timeline and on the day of, everything seemed to flow so seamlessly thanks to them. At one point we realized we were a bouquet short and Belinda just created one on the spot. The team also handled everything with our vendors that day, including a last-minute change with our DJ/Emcee. While this could have easily put a damper on our wedding, Soverign Bee understood the importance of this day for us and made sure that we didn't have to worry about a thing.
Our guests were so impressed with how organized everything was and Sovereign Bee was just a joy to work with. They are also a ball of fun and connected with our bridal party to the point where we wish we could see them all the time! We simply cannot thank them for everything they did to take the stress away and allow us to truly enjoy our day. At the end of the night, they helped gather all our belongings and it was just so organized, almost felt like magic! Hands down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. I highly recommend Soverign Bee to every couple out there. Our day was more perfect and memorable than we could have ever imagined. Do yourself a favor and hire them!
Belinda is amazing !!!! She really takes the time to make everything perfect and everyone that works along side her is amazing as well . You will not be disappointed!
From the moment we arrived at the beautifully decorated venue, the evening seamlessly flowed from wedding, to cocktail reception to dinner. Nothing seemed hurried and the bridal party looked relaxed and happy. The day seemed to have come together without a hitch! All in all, a beautiful wedding!
The wedding appeared seamless. Everything from the wedding ceremony, to the cocktail hour, to the reception was absolutely beautifully done.
Belinda and her team are simply incredible to work with, they are punctual, diligent, fun, five steps ahead of everything, creative, but above all PROFESSIONAL. We’ve hired them for my engagement party, gender reveal, and wedding. Why? You may ask, well because we know that with working with them we don’t have any headaches or hiccups. We will continue to use Belinda and her services, “cause when you don’t want the stress you hire the best, and that’s Sovereign Bee”
Belinda and her team were absolutely fantastic! Dream team! All of the things that I didn’t think of she was there with referrals, items for set up, ideas, execution and FUN. Her personality was perfect to chorale a bunch of Carribean folk and I just appreciate the way she swooped in and took care of every little detail.
If you want the day of your wedding to go as smooth as it can possibly be you need the Sovereign Bee team! Belinda made absolutely sure that we had a well organized timeline and communicated with all the vendors to make sure that everyone was on the same page. And things don’t always go exactly as planned but she made sure that everything that was important to me happened. Belle was amazing! From checking on everyone, making sure we were fed, running to buy diapers and wipes because we forgot them lol. Vivian did not leave my side and was taking care of things before I can even think of it happening. Belinda I want to thank you and your team again for helping our event turn perfect for us, for driving my kids and mom back to the hotel and coming back to also take Luis and I to the hotel. And if all that wasn’t enough thank you for going back to Long Island a couple of days after the wedding to get the 1,000 things I left behind at the venue.
I’m so happy we hired Sovereign Bee!!! I don’t know what we would have done without Belinda and her team. Belinda was super organized and on top of all wedding planning/coordination tasks, was an excellent communicator & brought the best energy to the wedding!! She went above and beyond and truly made our day so special. I definitely recommend you hire Sovereign Bee for your wedding!!!
We booked Sovereign Bee for day of coordination for our 6/4/2022 wedding and it was the best decision we could have made. Belinda and her team helped with everything from steaming dresses to tidying up the bridal suite to bustling my dress and touching up my makeup. Our whole family kept commenting on how organized and on time everything was, and that was all thanks to Sovereign Bee. Our perfect day was made even more perfect thanks to Belinda and we’ll make sure to recommend her to everyone we know!
As Mother of the Bride, you want your daughters wedding day to run as smoothly as possible. Belinda was our Day of Coordinator and having her was one of the best decisions we made. She is focused on ensuring the best experience. Her experience is evident from the moment she walks through the door, you get that feeling that you’re in good hands . She made sure the photographer, the videographer, the venue, the DJs, the Caterers and even the guests were all in sync according to the Bride and Grooms wishes. She handled any issues that popped up so that we could truly sit back and enjoy the wedding experience. She was the “go to” person we needed. She already has the answers to questions you didn’t even think to ask. Wait, is that a stain on the groomsman's suit? She takes care of that too!! As a very satisfied Mother of the bride, I highly recommend her services!
This woman is AMAZING! She truly is an expert at what she does. Nothing went forgotten or missed, my wedding day went so
Incredibly smooth thanks to her. To say she is thorough, professional, efficient, & fun still wouldn’t do her justice. Do yourself a favor and hire this woman!!! Trust me, you NEED HER!!!!
Belinda was the most amazing day of coordinator we could have asked for! She went above and beyond to make sure my wife and I were comfortable throughout the entire process. She did all of the little things as well, such as making sure we ate our dinner uninterrupted during the reception. Her communication was perfect and you can tell she truly has a passion for what she does! I would 10/10 recommend her for anyone who wants to have an amazing wedding!
Belinda and her team were great! They kept us all on schedule & we’re always there to help with anything that went wrong. Belinda fixed my broken bustle with ease and calmed me down while I was freaking out! I’m so glad I hired them to help through this day!!
Belinda was the ‘day of coordinator’ at my daughter’s wedding and made us feel at ease. I love her attitude and confident vibe. She had all the answers before we knew we had a question. Highly recommend Belinda and her team!
Sovereign Bee is a very unique team, dare I say a family. They are all extremely helpful, polite, will make you laugh, and they truly have your back with everything. Belinda is one of a kind and even though she will tell you to trust the process..., I highly recommend that you trust her. Throughout all of the wedding tips, suggestions, and recommendations that she provides to you, one can feel a tad bit overwhelmed but, I can honestly say that Belinda honestly came through and made our wedding exactly how we wanted it to be. More importantly, she protected me from any and everything that did not go as planned, because life is not perfect. But, I can honestly tell you that on our wedding day, I was oblivious, present, and happy, because Belinda did everything in her power to ensure that I was. There is not enough money out there that can cover the cost of her. She's very proficient, versatile, funny, stylish, and the women has dance moves for days :-) lol. If you want what you want on your wedding day or even if you are not sure exactly what you want on your wedding day, Sovereign Bee will help you realize that as long as you have each other, everything else is just the icing on the cake.
Thank you so much for your professionalism on our wedding day I definitely recommend them to the lgbt Community all their team is very friendly.! Thank you for
Your unconditional support you were there for us every time we send a text or called you 100% recommend sovereign Bee to anyone that is looking for a wedding planner or or any special occasion.
Una excelente organizadora de bodas única sencilla y sobretodo súper dedicada a su trabajo 100 % recomendada y siempre ase los sueños realidad muchísimas gracias por aser de nuestra boda algo inolvidable
High Energy. Good vibes. Fun. Tough. Reel Queen. Show runner. MC. Officiant. Are just some of the qualities of Belinda - Sovereign Bee. I met her a few month before my vow renewal (that was more like a wedding lol) and we hit it off from the first call. She will guide you through the dos and don’ts and will make sure you enjoy the entire process. I had a clear vision on what I wanted and to see it all unfold and exceed my expectations was AMAZING. I am very hands on 😬 and many times we were thinking the same, but I can’t thank Belinda enough for making sure the “non-negotiable” lol requests were met even when it seemed impossible. Her team is just as great (Jenny and Aneudy)!!! My day went smoothly and most importantly my husband and I enjoyed ourselves. Don’t be afraid to get stung by the infectious Sovereign 🐝😜
I had the pleasure of having Belinda’s Day of Coordinator services for my wedding on April 2, 2022. As a girl who loves to plan and is typically organized I didn’t initially think I needed a coordinator. However, after speaking with Belinda I knew she would be the one I needed to keep everyone in check while having fun with us. Belinda, Bell, and Jen truly gave me, my husband and bridal party a huge sense of relief during the wedding. Belinda thrives in the wedding chaos and runs the show so I can just sit back and take in the moments. She had great visions of photography/video, sewed a button back onto my dress, is always ready to spray a hair back in place, and she fixed a tear in my MOH’s dress like a boss. Even though it was our first time meeting in person, I love that I didn’t feel as if I was with strangers, but as if I had my cool Aunts hanging out with me. I really believe they are a huge reason our wedding day tan so smoothly. This team exceeded my expectations in the every way possible.
Where do I even begin? In searching for a coordinator, we new we wanted someone who would hold it down but also have fun in the process especially with our huge Dominican and Italian family. Within seconds of our first phone consultation, I knew Belinda was the person! Our wedding guests keep saying our day was “magical” and it truly was. Belinda and her team are organized, hard working, and fun! Our families and guest described Belinda as “fun” but “she means business” and that’s exactly true! Belinda was always available when needed and at any request, was on the phone making it happen. We could not have asked for anything better. If you’re wondering if a coordinator is necessary, I am here to tell you if you want to soak up your day and not have the slightest worry, the answer to the question is YES and Belinda and her team are the people for you.
Belinda and her Sovereign Bee team were absolutely essential to our wedding turning out to be one of the best days of our lives! We didn't realize how much help we needed getting ready for our day and the minute we first met with Belinda we knew she was going to put her all into making our wedding unique, stress-free, and an amazing day for us & our guests! After each session with Belinda, we left feeling re-energized about our wedding details and confident that everything was on track.
We were so lucky to have such a thoughtful, generous, organized, efficient, detailed, planner who never hesitated to step in and make a suggestion or propose a solution that met our needs. She understood our vibe from the beginning and recommended vendors that we would not have otherwise found and vendors that matched the vibe we wanted for our wedding. The Sovereign Bee team was incredibly helpful the day of the wedding and made it so that we didn't have to lift a finger or worry about any stressful day-of details throughout the entire day. We can honestly say we enjoyed our wedding day to the fullest and everything went as smoothly as possible because of Sovereign Bee.
Hiring Belinda & Sovereign Bee is literally like unlocking the next, highest level of wedding planning services and you will not be disappointed! Their commitment, work ethic, and unique ideas (which our guests are still complimenting us on!) will make any event of yours an amazing occasion that you'll want to relive over and over again!
Hiring Belinda was hands down the best decision we made in my daughter's wedding. The wedding was out of state for us (and her) but she didn't miss a beat. She covers things that are unthinkable, from working with the venue and vendors, right down to an unexpectable stain on someone's shirt. Honestly, she left us speechless. She makes each moment special for the bride, groom, parents, wedding party and the guests. Yes, there will always be a bump in the road, but she maintains calms and literally has a work-around for just about everything. There is no way we could have done this without her. The wedding was on New Year's Eve and she was able to help us celebrate the wedding and New Year's Eve without taking away from either event. She has an incredible ability to collaborate with people to make sure no stone is unturned. She is wise, professional, knowledgeable, forward thinking, and relentless. SMH, she is amazing ! I would hire her tens times over, blindly. Trust her and her process, it works !
Absolutely incredible! Belinda and her staff gave us the most magical wedding we could’ve ever imagined! Her professionalism, enthusiasm, creativity, adaptability and genuine care for our wedding and us was completely above reproach! No stone was left unturned during the planning process! We were 100% taken care of by her and her staff the entire duration of the event and were truly able to relax and enjoy the greatest day of our lives! Absolutely zero complaints and nothing but praise! Huge thank you to Sovereign Bee! Cannot recommend enough!
I cannot highly recommend anyone else but Belinda. Working with her feels like five hours instead of a 10 hour day. This is one person that actually works from the very beginning to end. She doesn’t just issues a paper with the timeline or details. She oversees every single detail from beginning to end. And make sure that the bride and groom are constantly comfortable throughout the entire day without being pushy as well. She is very meticulous detail as well. And the several times that I worked with her I
have not seen any hiccups in any of her weddings. For peace of mind I would highly recommend Belinda. Just sit back and let her drive.
