We hired Beth and the Utano Event & Wedding planning services for the day-of package and it was the best investment we could have made for the wedding. Beth was prompt, experienced, professional, and overall a pleasure to work with. From the mo...
ment Beth stepped in, she had thought of every detail and took away all of the stresses of planning a wedding. We were able to enjoy our wedding day because Beth and Anna took care of the logistics, decorations, and vendor management. If you are considering booking a wedding planner, I highly recommend Beth Utano Event & Wedding Planning services.

r and makeup/photos during that time. She calmed my nerves the week up until my wedding when I was worried about everything falling into place! Beth took the reins from me at rehearsal and made sure everyone knew what to do and where to be. On wedding day, she handled everything! I had hair and makeup and did not have one worry! Beth handled set up, Beth checked in on myself and my husband to see if we needed a snack or water and how we were feeling. During photos (that seem to take forever) she checked on us and supplied snacks and drinks to get us through! She made sure everything ran smooth, she even had to ask some wedding crashers to leave, which she handled flawlessly! She helped with packing up and made sure everything went into the car and nothing was left behind. I wish I could have her everyday in my life to keep me on track! Beth is a ROCKSTAR!!! I cannot say enough about her!!! I wish I could get married again just to have Beth plan again !!!! HIGHLY RECCOMMEND!!!!! Thank you Beth!!!!

I used The Knot to find a Wedding Coordinator to avoid the stress of planning our elopement. Utano Event & Wedding Planning seemed to be the best choice for what I wanted, so I emailed and received an almost immediate response. Beth turned out ...
to be an officiant as well, so I was excited to be able to have another box checked off my list of things to do. Her process makes everything so smooth and worry-free, and you can tell she really cares about her clients. I am not usually one for last-minute planning, but we had a few changes (such as family driving all night to surprise my husband at the ceremony) and she was able to work them in flawlessly. Not only that, but her husband even stepped up to help out as a witness (and an impromptu videographer/dj) with no hesitation. We would not have had the amazing day we had without Utano Event & Wedding Planning! I feel so fortunate to have had a perfect day, and Beth made that happen.

Beth was simply the best. Looking back on our wedding, we can not imagine pulling it off without her and her assistant Anna. Beth was full of helpful suggestions and ideas that we never would have thought of. In the lead up to our wedding day, ...
including the day before, she was always there to help in any and every way. On the day of the wedding, she was willing to help in every manner possible from setup, to emergency cleaning the bride's dress, to an emergency repair of a groomsmen's pants, she and Anna literally did everything. They are a fun duo and some of the nicest people ever as well. If you are at all thinking of hiring a day/month of coordinator, your money couldn't be spent any better.

ed to look into hiring a planner. I came across Beth on theknot and sent her a message. She replied that night and she had our date open! She was able to reach out to caterers and the tent rental company. She even brought cupcakes and cake samples for us to try to our first meeting! We decided to supply all alcohol for the bar, and Beth and her bartenders made us a list of how much and what brands to get. The list was spot on! She set the tables and bar the day of and dealt with all the vendors, which allowed me to relax. Her bartenders and assistant also waited on my husband and I and made sure we had everything we needed during the reception. We always had a drink in hand. Beth and her assistant Jenelle also got people out on the dance floor and showed them how to do the Wobble. We cannot say enough great things about Beth and her crew.

married on our original wedding date all because of Beth! The second time around (the real thing) with a small gathering and a real ceremony she went above and beyond to make sure everything was as close to perfect as it could get.
