If you are reading this review in hopes of possibly hiring WedWell for your wedding, congrats! This will be the last one you read, because you've just found your wedding planner. Claire went above and beyond in every single aspect of planning/e...
xecuting our wedding. She was extremely kind, patient, organized, helpful, and had our backs throughout the MANY ups & downs of wedding planning. We had to move our wedding multiple times through the pandemic and she handled it like a pro. Not one single detail fell through the cracks, our wedding was on time, and went off without a hitch. She was able to provide vendor recommendations, contract support, create the most detailed run of show I've ever seen (and I'm in showbiz), and keep a level of calm I aspire to. If we could hire Claire again, we would in a heartbeat. Thank you Claire!!

We cannot begin to explain how much Claire helped us throughout our wedding planning process. We hired her after we had our venue/date locked down and she helped us with literally every other thing we could think of and especially with the thin...
gs we couldn't think of. Claire is an extremely calm, chill and cheerful person, which makes talking to her delightful and made the whole process feel easy and more stress-free than we could have imagined. Claire is also extremely organized which is what you want in a person who's helping you pull together the most important day of your life. She immediately set us up with a shared Google drive filled with all the vendor recommendations we could need and various other planning tools and kept files up to date there as the planning progressed. She has amazing relationships with everyone she works with, which makes vendor outreach and initial phone calls incredibly easy -- and having Claire on those calls with us gave us a much greater level of comfort and sense of preparedness going into each one. We honestly could go on and on. There were countless times over the year+ we worked with WedWell that we out loud said to each other "Claire's the best" and it's because she proves time and time again that she is. She doesn't raise crazy alarms if something goes off course, she's assuring about pace/progress throughout the process, but also knows when to nudge you to make sure things are getting done. She gave us amazing guidance when we were weighing options and it always gave us a way to accomplish what we wanted from the day knowing what our priorities and budget were. All of this made us feel excited about our wedding vs. stressed and it's impossible to put into words how much that means, especially now looking back on an experience that was nothing but joyful. So yeah - HIRE CLAIRE! You will lose count of the times you reflect on what an amazing decision it was.

e world would be, and she was fantastic in guiding us through options and contingencies and making sure our vendor contracts were solid. She did tons of site visits with us all over New York and once we picked our venue we felt completely comfortable handing over the reins. Claire was incredibly organized and kept on top of the entire event planning process - she made it so easy, we’d do it again! Claire communicated constantly with all of our vendors to make sure everything was exactly what we wanted and the logistics were perfect. When it came to the actual event, Claire was the most incredible manager, running the show the day of which meant doing everything from adding our finishing touches to each place setting to wrangling guests who showed up early into their proper places, to keeping us on schedule (which she planned for us down to 15 minute increments), to making sure my husband and I took a break from entertaining to eat our dinner. As two people who like to be very much in control of life, we had absolutely no concerns putting our whole event in WedWell’s extremely capable hands. 10/10 recommend!!

If you are toying with the idea of hiring a wedding planner or month-of/day-of coordinator look no further than Claire and WeWedWell. She was recommended to me by some close friends and it was without a doubt one of the most valuable services. ...
There are so many things that I didn't even know to think of and Claire made sure that there was no detail left behind. Her organizational skills exceeded any expectation we had and she made sure that the night went smoothly and if anything went wrong we did not (and still do not) know about it. My personal stress levels would have been through the roof had I not had Claire to count on. Take this as your sign to hire WeWedWell!

you work with her you work with someone who is resourceful, flexible, expert, nimble, meticulous, detailed, experienced, collaborative, agile, open, honest, focused, energetic, fun, a good listener and an absolute delight! She built a solid partnership with my husband and me. Looking back we can say we thoroughly enjoyed our special day instead of being stressed. She always put things in perspective that helped guide us to make quick decisions (that we won’t regret!) by understanding all the implications of our choices - both expense-wise and logistically. On wedding day, she worked her butt off making sure everything was running smoothly despite of it being sunny, rainy and snowy all within a space of hours. She handled it all with absolute grace and was always in the background just making things work and staying two steps ahead of everything. We cannot recommend Claire enough. She made our wedding perfect for US!

s our Day-Of Coordinator (who was really a Month-of Coordinator!) TL/DR Version: WedWell is money well spent on the most important vendor you'll need aside from food, drinks, and music. Every detail you think you'll worry about and even the ones you never would've thought to worry about, WedWell will take care of. Honestly, we cannot recommend WedWell and Claire enough. The Essay Version: BUDGET During the consultation, you'll get a feel for the cost of WedWell's services--you will find Claire to be very flexible and able to work with your budget. RESOURCES Right off the bat, she offered so many useful resources (e.g. , budget, guest list, vendor folders) in Google Docs which was amazingly helpful. She had great recommendations for where our guests could go between the ceremony and reception, the best places for photographs, etc. IN-PERSON MEETINGS In the month leading up to the wedding, Claire met with us in person once in SF (graciously on her vacation), once virtually, once the week of the wedding, and once at rehearsal. She also helped us get in touch with our church (who was extremely difficult to get ahold of--especially from afar). ON THE DAY OF On the day of, I did not have to worry about a single thing--she was so thorough in understanding our needs, what was important to us, and what needed to get done, my husband and I got the pleasure of focusing on our day together. She set up the musicians (who weren't at rehearsal, and whom we'd never met), helped with organizing the people for our family photo shotlist, organized the ceremony and reception details (e.g. , setting out the flowers, escort cards, guest book, etc. ), and helped the reception timeline move smoothly. I was particularly thankful of her work around directing people who were seated in another room when to stay, when to go, when to come back, etc. I think at one point our DJ played songs on our "No" list and I saw her discreetly head over and get him back on course! I could literally go on and on about more specifics, but you're probably busy planning a wedding.

e, so I wasn't sure if I actually needed help, but was feeling very anxious about working out the detailed logistics with the vendors as it was getting closer. I really enjoyed my initial conversation with her- she thoroughly listened to me describe what we had already booked for our wedding, and what we envisioned the day to be like. We were choosing to do things a little different and avoid certain traditions, and she was really supportive and helpful as I described our vision. Claire also sent me a video of a wedding she had worked on, and seeing that sold me! She's very good at what she does, but her personality is very calm, which I enjoyed because the last thing you need on your wedding day is some hyper crazy person, you need Claire - a calm person who will get things done! After I hired her, we had an opportunity to meet at our walk through at our venue, and we spent some time putting together a timeline of the day. She is very detail oriented and thought of so many little things I would never have. Having her reach out and work with all of the vendors was super helpful, and having the timeline to keep everything on track was amazing! On the actual wedding day, I felt so calm and organized because I had my timeline to keep me on track. It seemed like every time I felt like I needed her for something she was magically there. Our venue was set up absolutely perfect, and everything about our day was perfect and we owe that all to Claire. I was actually able to relax and enjoy myself, which is not an easy thing for me to do. Please do yourself a favor and hire Claire for your wedding day- it will be the best decision you make!
