Working with Chelsea was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding. We were initially apprehensive about hiring a wedding planner, unsure of how much help we would actually need. But from the very first meeting, Chelsea put us at ease with her warmth, professionalism, and genuine care. She was more than just a planner—she became a trusted advisor and friend throughout the entire process.
We opted for the full planning package, and having her by our side for the year leading up to the wedding was invaluable. She helped us with everything—from vendor recommendations to keeping us on track with timelines—and her expertise made the whole planning process so much less stressful.
As a Mountain Top Inn bride, we knew we needed someone with experience at our venue, and Chelsea’s deep knowledge of the location was a major advantage. She navigated the logistics and worked seamlessly with the venue, ensuring everything went off without a hitch. Her attention to detail, creative vision, and ability to solve problems quickly made her an essential part of our big day.
In addition, we had the pleasure of renting furniture from Wild Fern Boutique for our winter wedding, and we couldn’t have been more thrilled with the selection of furniture that perfectly matched our winter wonderland theme.
The guests were absolutely in love with the cozy, elegant seating arrangements and stylish decor. It created such a warm, inviting atmosphere that our guests didn’t want to leave! The high-quality furniture made a huge impact on the overall aesthetic of our event, and many of our friends and family were complimenting us on how beautiful everything looked.
In hindsight, hiring Chelsea. was worth every penny. She truly made our wedding day everything we had hoped for and more. If you’re considering a wedding planner—especially for a unique venue —don’t hesitate to book her. You won’t regret it!
Chelsea is EVERYTHING! If you think you don’t need a wedding planner, you are so wrong. She is a life saver. She helped me with every single detail, moment, event and vibe. She was always there to answer my questions whether it be email, phone call or text. She even arranged maple syrup to be delivered to my MILs house for breakfast the morning of our wedding when it was left at home! I had no doubt in my mind that our wedding would be perfect with her by our side, and I was so right. I am truly forever grateful to have had Chelsea as our planner. And their lounges? Gorgeous. The pictures speak for themselves. Choose Chelsea and Cassie and you not only get amazing service, but you make some forever friends!
Working with Cassie and Chelsea at Wild Fern Boutique is hands down the best decision we made for our wedding at the Trapp Family Lodge! They are extremely organized, responsive, and communicated kindly and professionally with everyone involved in our wedding. Cassie and Chelsea were a true joy to work with, they are such caring and genuine people who made wedding planning WAY more fun and less stressful than it otherwise would have been. We cannot recommend the Wild Fern team highly enough!!
We rented furniture from Wild Fern Boutique for the lounge area for our wedding and we could not have been more pleased with our experience! Cassie was so lovely and easy to work with and the furniture that we rented was just beautiful! It was great to have a corner for folks to relax in during the reception that was cozy yet classy.

Cassie and her team did an incredible job in helping us plan for our wedding. They are extremely detailed, and ensured we thought through every part of our ceremony in advance. They also have many connections with local vendors to offer recommendations for our of town clients like us. On top of it all, they are so much fun to work with. We are so grateful we found them for our wedding planning needs!
Chelsea was always professional and responsive whenever I had questions. They gave me guidance for how/where to set up the lounge which was much appreciated. They came out, set up a beautiful lounge on time, and took it down without me needing to do anything. I would definitely recommend Wild Fern to a friend!
Cassie and the team and Wild Fern were just amazing! We tried planning on our own and started working with Cassie when it very quickly got to be too much. And I couldn’t be happier that we did. I felt instantly better after our first session and genuinely believe our day would not have been all that it was without her. She was attentive and responsive during the planning process and had everything running seamlessly day of! We are so grateful to her and the Wild Fern team.
My daughter had a VT destination winter wedding at The Ponds at Bolton Valley. We wanted some lounge furniture set up for guests to relax on, and some additional accent furniture. Chelsea and crew was responsive, professional with both set up and delivery so we had no additional worries! She even helped coordinate delivery with the linen vendor. The results were beautiful and all the guests loved the set up. Highly recommend!
We decided to hire Chelsea and Cassie as month-of coordinators a few months before our wedding, realizing we were in over our heads. Best decision I could have made! Chelsea helped us organize a million tiny little pieces that somehow all came together, even on what ended up being the rainiest day of the year. At the last minute we chose to rent two lounges as well, which were a huge hit. Our guests used the lounges all evening and added a really special element to the day! 100% recommend!!!
I really don't know what my wedding weekend would have looked like without Chelsea and Cassie. We brought them on board about 6 months out from our wedding date, when a lot of preliminary decisions had been made already. From the get go Chelsea kept us organized and on track, and alleviated all of the stress of wedding planning. From their brew canoe and music stand, to confirming hair and makeup appointments for us, to even buying a small cake for one of our guest's birthdays, no request was too big or too small for them to take on for us.
We had planned a weekend full of outdoor events on the lake up in Vermont with some loose rain back up plans even before we brought them on board, but unfortunately, it rained our entire wedding weekend. This did not shake Chelsea one bit. She took the weather and every other thing that popped up in stride - she even found a completely new venue for our welcome party for 95 guests and organized the transportation for them when our original plan of a welcome party cookout outside would no longer work! Between her organizing and Cassie's eye for design, they made a pivot that occurred 48 hours in advance seem like it had been planned that way all along. Similarly, on our wedding day we had to have our ceremony in the reception space and then flip it over during cocktail hour due to the rain. You would have never known that this was not the original plan though. Both spaces looked beautiful, the logistics were well coordinated and the guests couldn't stop complimenting all of the beautiful details that went into our day. I honestly don't know that we could have pulled off our weekend without them, especially given the rain, and am so completely grateful that we made the choice to work with them for our special day. Several of our wedding party commented on how reassuring their calming presence was, and I couldn't agree more. If you get the chance to partner with them for your big day, do it!
I loved working with Wild Fern Boutique! Cassie and Chelsea had so many great ideas, were super enthusiastic and extremely knowledgable. They kept me organized and calm throughout the process. When I couldn't get to the venue in person before our wedding, they went for me and coordinated every vendor for our big day! Thanks to Wild Fern, I was able to fully enjoy my daughter's wedding! I miss them so much! Sincerely, Shari McGuirk, Proud MOB
Cassie and Chelsea are truly a dream team. Guests at our March 2023 wedding could not say enough positive things about how flawless our wedding day was, and so much of that is due to Chelsea's planning support. She went above and beyond for us to help bring our visions to life.
We also knew we wanted to have a packed dance floor all night, and forgot about guests who may prefer to ease into the dancing or visit with friends to give their feet a rest. Cassie took one look at some of our planning materials and built the most beautiful seating/lounge area for our guests to enjoy. We couldn't have asked for a better team, and our guests LOVED the seating area.
Cassie is exactly who you want in your corner when you're planning the biggest event of your life. She is detail-oriented with big-picture vision, and she'll help you dream up incredible ideas – then figure out how to bring them to life. Her creativity is magic because she also understands the logistics to make it happen – and she'll do it all with the best and most infectious positive attitude!
From the very beginning of our planning process, Cassie was incredibly responsive, kind and professional – but more than that, she made me feel like her #1 priority and like I was her only bride. Over the course of 2.5 years of planning (thanks to Covid), Cassie became a true friend. She is caring, smart, creative and funny, her attention to detail is unmatched, she hustles to get things done, and she is ALWAYS there when you need her, no matter what the planning emergency.
Through a postponement and navigating the ups and downs of Covid and rescheduling everything, not to mention the general day-to-day of wedding planning, Cassie was so positive and fun and made the entire planning process an absolute joy. I was honestly secretly happy to get an entire extra year of working with her!
Then, fast forward to our wedding – truly the best weekend of our lives. With rain in the forecast I was beyond anxious, but never once concerned that things wouldn't be perfect. We had Cassie on our side, working SO HARD behind the scenes to make everything incredible. She has amazing industry relationships and is so well-respected, so all of our vendors loved working with her as well. We were able to enjoy every moment of our wedding weekend and not absorb any stress or worry. Miraculously, in addition to everything else she did, Cassie somehow summoned blue skies for our ceremony – and a rainbow for our cocktail hour!
I cannot recommend Cassie and the Wild Fern team highly enough. If you're wondering who to hire, this is your sign to book Wild Fern now!
We got married in October of 2023 and I worked with Chelsea for about a year and a half throughout the whole planning process. She was absolutely amazing !! I cannot say enough great things about her. She is attentive to details and extremely communicative and was always there to help with everything I needed and answer my 1000s of questions. She is truly one of a kind in the wedding planning business and knows exactly what she is doing. She constantly put our worries to ease and made sure everything was exactly how we wanted it. Our day would not have been so special without her guidance and support and we couldn’t thank her or recommend her enough!
We were so lucky to have worked with Cassie in planning our wedding. She was absolutely amazing!! She made our vision come alive and effortlessly created the most perfect day for us. Working with her was easy and fun, and she was attentive to every detail and made this process truly enjoyable. We still get compliments about how beautiful the day was and how smoothly everything went, which is a true testament to her skill and hard work. She's the very best! We can't say enough wonderful things about her.
Working with Cassie as our wedding planner was amazing. She was so helpful every step of the way. She was always quick to respond and so on top of the planning process. We would have been lost without her! Our parents and bridal party all commented on how wonderful she was day-of. Everyone loved her! I cannot recommend Cassie enough. If you are looking for an amazing planner, hire her!
