Renee and her team were remarkable to work with throughout our whole wedding process. Renee was responsive, always on top of the smallest of details, and turned our ideas into a we...
ll formulated and executed design plan. They selected top tier vendors and the day went perfectly. Can’t recommend them enough.
Having Renee and her team as our wedding planner was the best decision we ever made aside from getting married! I can't put into words how much Renee and her team have done for us ...
leading up to the wedding and the day of. From the beginning of our engagement, they have been by our side to help us book our venue and vendors, answering all our questions, and easing all the stress from wedding planning. However, on the day of our actual wedding was when we truly realized how important having a wedding planner is. Our bridesmaids and groomsmen did not have to lift a finger the whole time because her team had everything covered! During the wedding, our guests kept coming up to tell us how fantastic Renee and her team were. After the wedding, we couldn't stop gushing at our photos and remembering how lovely everything was. We love you, Renee! Thank you so much for creating the best day of our lives!
We cannot imagine planning our wedding without Renee and the Urban Soiree team! Renee is incredibly warm and collaborative, and has an amazing design eye. She listened carefully an...
d asked great questions to ensure she understood what we were looking for, and then took our vision and created the most stunning and detailed design plan. Renee is very communicative and attentive to detail. She is very professional and maintains strong relationships with all vendors. Renee was always available to us and walked us through every step of the planning process. On the days leading up to the wedding, and the day of the wedding, she ensured that every detail was perfect and that we could enjoy the events without worrying about anything! We highly recommend Renee and the Urban Soiree team!
I can’t say enough good things about Renee and her amazing team at Urban Soiree! Going into the planning process after my then fiancé, Jason and I got engaged, I was feeling overw...
helmed and like a small fish in a big wedding industry pond. I knew I needed direction and support and decided to consider hiring a wedding planner. From my very first meeting with Renee, I felt an instant connection and loved that she really took the time to understand not only my vision for the wedding, but who Jason and I were as a couple. I left that initial meeting feeling at ease and surprisingly excited for the planning process ahead of us. Over the next year and a half, Renee and I worked hand in hand to craft my dream wedding. She was instrumental in recommending and securing our venue and vendors, partnering with them to ensure my vision was communicated effectively, managing all venue and vendor communication, scheduling, and logistics, and managing critical deadlines. Furthermore, I can’t say enough good things about how impactful Renee and her team’s presence was on the actual wedding day. Because she was there to handle all of the moving parts of the day, I was truly able to experience the entire weekend stress-free and focus on enjoying every moment. Thank you, Renee, for your partnership and friendship over the last 18 months. Jason and I will always remember our wedding as the best day of our lives, and I can’t thank you enough for all you did to make our dream a reality!
Cannot say enough good things about Renee and Blair.
We used them for the “day of planning” and added in other options such as budgeting.
Their meticulous attention to detail, ...
in depth knowledge of the industry made planning so much easier and cost effective than it would have been without them. They were truly incredible in all aspects leading up to the wedding.
The day of of…WOW….im not sure what i expected, but Blair went so far above and beyond what i could have expected. Nearly everyone we talked to about the wedding complimented how well she handled the day of the wedding. A truly perfect night and it only happened the way it did because of them!
Renee and her team were amazing in every way. Kind, calm, professional, responsive. Hiring this team was a GREAT decision. They always knew exactly what to do! We could not hav...
e had the perfect day without them. HIGHLY recommend.
My daughter and I began planning her May wedding ourselves about one year in advance and had contracted all the main vendors. By January we were feeling so overwhelmed so on a fri...
end’s recommendation we contacted Renee. It was the best decision ever! There were so many details and Renee guided us through all the decision making. She thinks of everything and makes sure all is taken care of. The day of the wedding I didn’t have to worry about a thing. Renee and her team made sure everything ran smoothly. My daughter had a perfectly lovely wedding and we were all able to enjoy every minute! At first I wasn’t sure about hiring a wedding planner since we had done some of the planning ourselves but hiring Renee was the best move we made. She is so easy to work with and not pretentious at all. We felt comfortable with her right away. I would highly recommend Urban Soiree to anyone!
I got engaged in December 2018, and by March 2019 I was overwhelmed with the planning process. I reached out to Renee and I instantly felt like I had a friend, we just clicked.
Re...
nee always had our best interest in mind no matter what the situation. She kept us organized, on budget, and focused on what was really important (us getting married). She is creative in the design plan and helped us take our vision for our wedding to the next level. She was able to really hone in on what we wanted. She gave expert vendor recommendations, and really took the time to recommend those vendors that would click with us and provide the style and service we were looking for. I cannot say enough about my team of vendors. Renee was able to communicate with them all and get them all on the same page. Our day was seamless.
During the course of our wedding day, my parents looked at me multiple times and said the best money we spent was hiring Urban Soiree and Renee. Her team was professional, timely, compassionate, and most importantly fun. Without Renee, we would not have had a stress free and beautiful wedding day.
I cannot thank Renee and her team enough for everything that they did for my family.
Where do I even begin?! Working with Urban Soiree and Renee was the best decision (besides marrying my husband!) we made throughout our wedding process! I honestly do not know what...
I would've done without her. She had the best advice for vendors, she was creative in regards to the design, she completely understood my vision and helped it come to life and she was a joy to work with. It was amazing knowing there was someone who 100% had our best interest at heart while being a rockstar at her job! I felt completely comfortable throughout our planning process because Renee was so fabulous the entire time. She is very responsive to emails, organized, professional and very detail-oriented. I loved chatting with her about our design and big day and I genuinely miss her now that the wedding is over!! She made the day what it was - she made the magic happen and turned our dreams into a reality!!
I cannot thank her enough for everything that she did to make our wedding the best day of our lives!! If you want to work with a planner that will go above and beyond, choose Urban Soirée!
Renee (owner of Urban Soiree) was my rock. She made the day what it was; she made the magic happen! We used Renee’s full boat of services and I cannot express how happy I am that w...
e did. We could not have pulled this wedding off without Renee and her team. My family and my husband’s family live in NJ and NY and we got married at our alma mater, College of the Holy Cross in Worcester MA so it was a bit of a “destination” wedding. Renee was crucial in making this all happen. She had so many fantastic vendor relationships that she recommended for us, including our photographer, Lynne Reznick (who was amazing!!). Renee was incredibly organized throughout the entire process. She assisted with the conversations with my dad who was footing the bill ;) and helped push things along and keep us on track. On the day of, I felt so comfortable and relaxed because I knew Renee was there and had everything in order. I felt my best when she was with me. She kept me calm and cooled my nerves. She even made sure we ate which was very important! I cannot imagine our wedding day without Renee and her team. I cannot thank her enough for everything that she did to make our day what it was. She is the best in the biz, people!!! Please do yourself a favor and hire her – you will be thrilled that you did!
Where do I start with Urban Soiree? I can truly say my wedding day wouldn’t have been what it was without Renee and her team. From the moment we hired Renee as our planner, she wa...
s dedicated to us, easy to contact and took all of the wedding planning stress away from us. My husband and I both work in the events industry for Peak Event Services so we weren’t sure that hiring a planner was even necessary- but boy are we happy we did! She was referred to us by our colleague who is the top sales executive at our company so we knew right away that she would do a good job, but she ended up exceeding our expectations. She constantly checked in with us, went out of her way to have in person meetings and made sure we stayed on a consistent timeline to prevent scrambling closer to our wedding date. My mother in law played a huge role in planning our wedding (from across the country) and Renee worked with her flawlessly to ensure her vision was brought to life. My mother in law has created countless productions so she had many ideas that other vendors were shooting down or saying wasn’t possible. Renee made sure to find a way to make anything and everything we had wanted possible, even if it meant having difficult conversations with other vendors or our venue. My wedding photos look like they belong in a magazine. I feel honored that people are still talking about how perfect my wedding day was even 2 months later. The day of our welcome dinner, we were introduced to Blair who is part of Renee’s team at Urban Soiree. Our wedding day turned out to be 105 degrees and Blair fanned me the entire time, made sure my drink was full, and completely waited on me hand and foot. I felt like a princess! For example, during my welcome reception I lost an earring so Blair took her earrings out of her ears for me to wear for the night. Another mishap happened right before my reception when we realized that my dress never had a bustle so Blair grabbed some safety pins and bustled it beautifully- no one knew it wasn’t a real bustle. Not only did she take care of Zach and I, but my wedding party ranted and raved about how they felt like royalty with Blairs assistance as well. During our after party at about 1am when she should have been excused of her duties, Blair showed up at the house we were staying with all of our belongings, cards and gifts to ensure we had everything we needed. She also offered to drive home inebriated guests and made sure we had enough food. I could go on and on about Renee, Blair and the rest of the Urban Soiree team. Whenever I think of my wedding day, I think of them and how much they helped me. I highly recommend hiring Urban Soiree if you are looking for a planner- you will not regret it. The girls at Urban Soiree turned into my good friends that I am so grateful to have met.
As soon as I got engaged, I realized I had no idea how to plan a wedding or even where to start. I was overwhelmed and needed help! I reached out to Renee after finding her on Inst...
agram and right away, she made me feel very comfortable so my fiancé and I knew she was the one. We worked with Renee for our Boston wedding this August and couldn’t recommend her enough. She is extremely talented on several levels- from helping us with our initial wedding vision, to being there for us while we walk down the aisle and every step in between. Some say that wedding planning can be stressful and negative experience but after working with Renee, I would do it all again in a heartbeat! She is well-experienced in the field and full of great vendor and décor recommendations. She worked with us to find a wonderful vendor team that we were so excited about (and confident in on the day-of) while making our wedding vision come to life. She was very responsive and so thoughtful in every aspect by making sure that all bases were covered and everything ran smoothly during the planning process and on the day-of (all with a smile on her face). If anything didn’t go according to plan, she was always in our corner, prepared to help. Renee and her team were so attentive that we felt like actual celebrities at our wedding! If you want to work with a planner that will go above and beyond, choose Urban Soirée!
Urban Soiree was absolutely fantastic to work with and made the entire wedding planning experience so much easier. I can't imagine going through my wedding without them by my side....
My entire wedding party and family was blown away by their helpfulness on the day of the wedding and we all loved having Renee and her team with us from morning until night. I am very organized and didn't think i needed a planner but trust me, no matter how organized you are it will be the best money you spend. Renee helped me chose the most wonderful vendors and brought my vision to life. She was also so organized, kind and calming throughout the entire process. I can't recommend Renee and her team enough.
Renee and her team helped us plan and execute our wedding! She handled vendor contracts and helping take our vision board to reality. As a bride, you worry that you're going to for...
get something. Surprise: I forgot something, but Renee was able to fill in all of the pieces I missed and - I swear - was able to foresee what I'd miss and was able to save the day!
Renee and her team planned my daughter's out of state wedding, which is no small feat in itself. From day one through the wedding day and beyond, I was stunned by Renee's enthusia...
sm and tireless work to ensure the bride- and -groom- to- be's vision for their wedding weekend was realized, down to the smallest detail. Renee and her team are the consummate professionals and I am still amazed by what they accomplished. It was beautiful in every way. I still don't know how they pulled everything together so perfectly, but they did. They are SO creative and resourceful. And, Renee is one of the NICEST people you will ever meet. I will recommend Renee and the Urban Soiree team to friends and family with the HIGHEST recommendation possible!
The Urban Soiree Team put on a truly amazing event! The whole evening flowed perfectly from one portion of the evening to the next. As a guest, we had time to really enjoy each par...
t of the night, which was really great! The attention to detail in the decor and ambiance really made the Bride and Groom's vision come to life in the space. Urban Soiree managed the different vendors beautifully, so they were all truly part of the same team. I would absolutely recommend everything about working with Renee and her Team - they made the wedding perfect in every way and a truly wonderful experience.
Choosing Urban Soiree to be our planner was easily the best wedding decision we made, and I cannot imagine having gone through this process without Renee. Renee is truly one-of-a-k...
ind when it comes to her wedding planning style - she is creative and intuitive while also being extremely professional and detail-oriented. She handled every decision and minor bump with poise, and her expert planning and responses to everything gave us a huge sense of comfort and calm throughout the year and a half that we worked together. I was blown away by how gorgeous our wedding turned out to be (and that it was within our budget!), and how every detail felt very true to 'us' and the vision my husband and I set out for Renee. Renee is a total joy to work with and I cannot recommend her highly enough!
Renee was my other half for the last 11 months, I don’t know that I would have made it down the aisle in one piece without her. From day one she was friendly and upbeat, and I was ...
always excited when a Renee email came through to my inbox!
Renee is very professional and really knows what she is doing - she answered literally every single question I had, tiny ones about favors to big ones like how to make the timeline of the day flow. She went above and beyond at every single moment, making me feel comfortable knowing I had someone who was completely by my side who was an expert in this space.
Leading up to the wedding Renee helped me with whatever was needed, and helped me build out what I think was a beautiful, romantic, and personal wedding for my husband and I. She attended meetings with vendors and asked questions I would never even have thought of asking.
The week (or two) leading up to the wedding I think I spoke to Renee more than I spoke to anyone - she made sure everything was running smoothly, and was very aware of my feelings and making sure I was doing well, it was very sweet! She completely ran the rehearsal which was a production in itself.
The day of the wedding she was my rockstar, I don’t have words to describe what her help meant to me that day. She was at the hotel while we were getting ready to make sure pictures ran smoothly. She made sure all the men were ready (I was worried here). Her team coordinated the three different shuttle companies we had to use (looking back, I wouldn’t have been able to do this the day of, I had no idea how much work a wedding is). She got to the venue early and made sure the first look was all set, and then calmed me down when it wasn’t. She was miraculously by my side whenever I needed her, and had anticipated my needs (Like that I would need lipstick after the ceremony but before pictures!).
Renee’s team was also fantastic, both during planning and day of. Sarah and Natalie were fantastic, also anticipating my needs, and the needs of the guests, and being professional and on point the entire time. At one point they even helped me bustle my dress in the middle of the dance floor because I broke it mid-song!
There were a million things that Renee and her team did that i didn’t know about until after, and I can honestly say if I had to deal with them, the wedding may not have happened. A few of the many things I learned she handled after included: ceremony chairs being in the wrong location, people in our first look spot that we had to get to move, losing my fiances’ bag, broken champagne glasses, running behind on schedule, my dog being a bit of a brat during pictures - this was probably the most important thing she did that she didn’t know was going to be part of the job...) Having her there made me actually able to enjoy the best day of my life.
I am so glad a friend of mine recommended Renee to me. She made the last year truly amazing for our wedding. I’d like to get married again just so I can work with Renee and her team!
Thank you Renee, Natalie, and Sarah!
Working with Renee and Urban Soiree was wonderful in so many ways! One of the very best decisions we made in wedding planning was having Renee and her team by our side for day of c...
oordination. Of course Renee’s guidance started several months before the wedding and she was amazing and such a pleasure to work with every step of the way. Renee is everything you could ever want…she is organized, super responsive and listens to your vision and what is important to you. She has lots of contacts in the industry and will be honest anytime you want her feedback on any aspect of planning. She will problem solve like a rockstar if any issues arise. She is careful and detailed when it comes to timelines to ensure the day runs smoothly. Also, she makes the planning fun and she has a great sense of style! Having the comfort of Renee looking out for all of the details and things you could not possibly anticipate was so valuable (and appreciated!) on such an overwhelming emotional day. Renee is truly the best ever !!!
On the recommendation of Carrie Chang of Floral Lab, we hired Renee for our wedding. I cannot express how instrumental a role Renee played in making the wedding an enjoyable, organ...
ized event. From family dynamics, to vendor issues, to overall planning and coordination - Renee gracefully helped us navigate through the varieties of stress that come with weddings. Though we only started working together a couple months before my wedding, Renee was always responsive. She made time for every email and phone call, and most importantly made us feel like we were the only couple she was working with. The best part about working with Renee is that you can sense her passion and dedication to her job, and it is a joy to experience that. Out of every decision we made for the wedding, hiring Renee was easily one of the best. I cannot underscore enough how highly I recommend Renee and the team at Urban Soiree.
Our experience with Urban Soiree was exceptional. Working with Renee made every stage of the planning enjoyable, keeping the "joy" in the process from the engagement to the wedding...
day. Renee's commitment to superior communication, creative problem solving, sharp negotiation skills and holding fast to the vision our families were striving to achieve made the wedding process and day the dream we all wished for our son & daughter-in-law. Renee leads a dream team who were a dream with which to work. Urban Soiree should be your first call after engagement!
Read this. Contact Renee. Enjoy the best day of your life. Seriously, Urban Soiree is the best of the best and nothing short of a wedding dream team. Having worked with Renee in th...
e past I knew that there is no one I would trust more fully with our wedding day. For couples looking for full service planning, Renee and her team will be by your side every step of the way offering sound advice, industry expertise, and plenty of laughs. Her experience and connections will help you establish the dream team of vendors who will bring your vision to life. If, like us, you want to get your hands dirty and plan your own wedding, hire Urban Soiree for day-of coordination. Renee will translate your months and months of work into an absolutely perfect day. The month leading up to our wedding was a challenging time for our family and the information I had for Renee was jumbled, to say the least. That didn't stop her from diving in, showing up, and getting it done. She and her team were there to manage our vendors, keep everyone on schedule, fluff my dress during photos, corral the wedding party, distribute final checks and tips, setup and cleanup our decor, get us down the aisle, the list goes on and on and on. We could not have had the perfect wedding day we had without Renee and her team of rockstars, and know that her future couples will feel the exact same way.
I can't say enough good things about Urban Soiree. Renee and the Urban Soiree team was the best money we spent on our wedding. From the minute we met with Renee, we knew we were ...
in good hands. Renee is so laid back but gets everything done. From helping us pick all our vendors to having to move our ceremony to a different location because of the rain, she helped me keep my cool under pressure. Since the weather turned out to be cold and rainy on our wedding day, Renee went shopping for blankets to keep out guests warm. If anything went wrong on our wedding day, my husband and I had no idea! She is super quick with email and text responses and gets everything done as quickly as she can. You can tell she really enjoys her job and I loved working with her. I honestly don't think I could have pulled off planning a wedding without her!
We said over and over again that the best money we spent on our whole wedding was hiring Renee and her team! Wedding planning had a LOT of ups and downs, but one thing that we coul...
d always count on was Renee's positive attitude and calm confidence. She literally blew us away by somehow always having the answer to any problem we were facing - from furniture sourcing to pushing our outdoor ceremony to avoid the rain - and helping us feel excited about our event even when things felt stressful. At one of our meetings about three months out from our wedding, we looked at each other and said, "I think we're actually going to pull this off!!" That feeling was completely attributed to Renee and her incredibly hard work. We are recommending her to all of our friends getting married - working with her was an absolute pleasure every step of the way.
I was recommended Renee and the Urban Soiree team by Kelly Benvenuto (our amazing wedding photographer!). Renee and her team went above and beyond in every way. We began working wi...
th Renee for day-of coordination about 3 months before our wedding - but I wish we had worked with her throughout the entire planning process. She immediately understood our vision for the big day. Renee provided rehearsal assistance, day-of timeline, vendor management, as well as set-up and styling. Most importantly, Renee checked-in on our entire bridal party throughout the day to make sure everyone had anything they needed. Renee was organized, decisive, honest, proactive, kind, fun, and prepared. Her experience and passion for the industry is evident. Almost two months after our wedding, I am still in awe of how perfectly everything came together! We're proud to have worked with Urban Soiree and will be recommending Renee to all of our friends and family who are planning their weddings!
Hiring Renee as our wedding planner was the best decision my husband and I made during the wedding planning process. Renee is passionate, hard-working and a joy to work with! Her o...
rganization and prompt responses to emails helped so much to alleviate the typical stress from wedding planning. Renee has a great reputation in the wedding planning industry and has so many connections. She was so helpful with suggesting vendors that reflected our style and also fit in our price range. Renee really listened to our vision and executed it flawlessly. Our wedding was absolutely perfect and we could not have done it without Renee!
Renee was hands down the best money we spent on our entire wedding! There is NO way we could have enacted our vision without her. She is an incredible communicator, she is organize...
d, the consummate professional, fun and easy to work with, and she knows the industry inside and outside. Not only this, but she is just lovely. Sometimes you meet people along the way that are just SO good at their jobs. Renee is one of these people. She goes above and beyond. She is also a miracle worker - we decided 6 days before our wedding (on a Sunday) that we needed a videographer. Renee had one booked for us within 24 hours, on a weekend day. She is well connected, with a great reputation - all of our vendors loved working with her, which made our lives so much easier.
Renee and her staff did everything they could to make sure we had the perfect wedding. She was truly able to accomplish just that for us. We are eternally grateful to her for her work and for who she is in general. Again, one of the best decisions we made during our whole wedding planning process!!
We can’t put it any more bluntly: Urban Soiree is amazing.
If you have an idea, Renee will help you find a way to execute it. If you have a problem, Renee will help fix it. She i...
s a true wedding-planning master.
As soon as we had our first meeting with Renee, we were sold. And boy, were we lucky to have Urban Soiree by our side throughout the process as we worked through the details.
It was abundantly clear that Renee understands the industry inside and out. She knows the vendors and venues. She has an eye for design and aesthetics. And her organization skills are impeccable.
As our wedding got more and more complicated, Renee always found a way to make things work. She was supportive of our vision and took the greatest care to help us see it through. She also had a lot of really good ideas of her own, particularly when we ran into logistics challenges around transportation and seating.
From day one until the very end of the night, Renee was alongside us making sure that everything went smoothly. We always knew we could rely on her.
Renee is a consummate professional. We can’t recommend Urban Soiree enough! You will be so happy to have them by your side. Thank you for your help every step of the way!
I was recommended Renee (owner of Urban Soiree Boston) by Carrie, the owner of Floral Lab and it truly was the best decision I made of the entire wedding. I don't know what I would...
of done without her and her lovely team (Lindsey Galligan and Natalie Chai).
We choose Renee for the "Day of Coordination" only and we started working together approximetly 2 months prior to the wedding day. Everything from start to finish was a breeze with Renee. She is responsive to emails, organized, professional and very detail oriented. One of the most important parts for me was the wedding day timeline that she created for us. This came in so handy to ensure that all the vendors were on the same page. She contacted all of my vendors and confirmed all the details, attended the wedding rehearsal, prepared an emergency kit for the day of the wedding, and ensured that EVERYTHING was taken care of. It really took the stress out of my hands so that I could relax and focus on the special day.
You can tell that Renee loves what she does because she does everything with ease and care. I can't thank her enough for making our wedding day so special and memorable. I am so thankful I had the opportunity to work with Renee. If you choose Urban Soiree Boston, you will not be disappointed!
