Wile Events were absolutely spectacular! Lorraine and Gabrielle were extremely thorough and professional, with a fabulous creative vision. They constructed beautiful flower displays and graphic design elements that tied our entire wedding together. Love love love them and cannot recommend enough!
We stumbled upon Wile on Instagram and loved what we saw. We reached out and discussed our vision and our budget. After guaranteeing a spend of what was already a bit on the high end (15k) of our budget Lorraine assured us she’d be able to bring our vision to life. They invited us to their studio to go over the deck they had prepared for us and had a nice spread of breakfast and champagne waiting for us and we loved what they showed us ..gave them our feedback and they got to work. Thats when things went downhill. As the months went on the price tag grew and grew without us adding more things than originally discussed. I even outsourced our candelabra centerpieces to cut down on costs. A week before the wedding things I had asked for from the beginning were being posed as extras and add ons. Planning a wedding after covid was difficult for both client and vendor as the price for things skyrocketed with the influx of weddings but when all was said and done they had us go over 5k from what they made us guarantee for an OK floral and decorating job. What made this even more obvious is that the day of my wedding when it came time for the “reveal “ of our reception room the Wile team was nowhere to be found. We were underwhelmed and felt extremely taken advantage of. They may sell you on the dream but dont buy it. Ill attach pics and you all be the judge if it was a 20k job. I loved my wedding and my only single regret was going with Wile.
After considering a few different wedding planners, we are so happy we chose Wile! Lorraine and Gabrielle were incredible to work with throughout our entire wedding adventure and journey to the big day. They truly took the time to listen to our vision of a unique wedding, we wanted an elegant black-tie affair in a rock and roll music venue that also happened to be a bowling alley too. It ended up being perfection. They were available throughout to answer questions, run ideas by them, providing creative solutions and always down to talk things through. From creating our wedding invitations to floral design, to connecting with our various vendors (caterers, band, venue, hotels, etc.), and even going the extra mile with little things like ordering food in advance while the bridal party got ready, to having an extra boutonniere (just in case!) for the groomsmen, they knocked it out of the park and took the stress off of us, which was such a relief all around. They made it a wedding for the books, truly feel our guests were wow-ed by the whole thing! Lorraine and Gabrielle are awesome and couldn't be more pleased we chose to work with them. They are the best!
I was never the girl who dreamed about my wedding, but I always knew I would need a wedding planner when the day came. I interviewed several planners in the NYC/NJ area and went with Wile Events for several reasons - they seemed to immediately "get" our families and their spreadsheets impressed even my Type A brain. I also cannot stress enough how amazing it is to have an in-house florist & graphic designer for all printing needs. It cuts out two vendors from the long list of decisions to be made, and they seriously knocked it all out of the park. I was the worst type of "yeah I like it, I don't care" bride and they were able to dig deeper and really help pull out opinions I didn't even know I had. From helping us find the dream venue (and going back to re-visit venues because I was indecisive) to responding to my panicked emails at all hours of the night, they were a one-stop, always supportive, wedding planning machine. Once the weekend came even my constantly worried brain was able to relax and just be in the moment, and for that I will be forever grateful!
Lorraine & Gabrielle were the brains and muscle that made our daughter's wedding weekend a spectacular success. The day we met I mentioned that my goals were (1) to have my kids dreams met and (2) for my husband and I to be able to relax and be treated as guests at their wedding. They knocked this out of the park. Their guidance through out this process, venue shopping, looking at graphics, designs, invitations, fonts, flowers, candles, menus, etc, not a detail went unnoticed by them! Day of - they were incredibly vigilant about getting band to get the party started, coordinating speeches, etc. They were able to be in a million places at once - creating the most amazing floral arrangements while also ensuring the bridal party was rehearsed and ready to go. "Thank you" seems hollow to the team that delivered a lifetime family memory.
Lorraine and Gabrielle were amazing! We couldn’t have done it without them. We had a short planning period and they did an incredible job to ensure everything was fabulous and put together many personal touches to make it a memorable weekend. They are very easy to work with and get the vision and are able to bring it to life. There’s no one else I would trust to plan an event!
Gabrielle and Lorraine are experts at what they do. Their business is professional, they are organized, sensitive, thorough, and honest. Their taste is impeccable. I wholeheartedly trusted them with every detail of our wedding planning and actual day. They are so professional: Gabrielle and Lorraine replied to emails within the hour from day one. They were always reachable and responsive, and always had answers to our many questions. They dealt with family politics with tact and grace, offered practical solutions to conflicts, and did it all with a smile. They are beyond organized: they created an epic spreadsheet customized for all aspects of our wedding and updated it regularly with new information. This way, they kept track of everything from our budget, to guest list, accommodations, other vendors, timetable, etc. in a transparent way that we could view and also contribute to. We had regular in-person or telephone meetings to check in. They were warm and personable: they immediately charmed not just my husband and me, but our families as well. They were such a pleasure to communicate with, talking to them always put us at ease and made us feel cared for. When I say thorough- I mean THOROUGH. I can be a little anal about details, but the Wiles put me to shame with their management of everything. They thought of every single tiny detail from town noise ordinances (the wedding was at my parents house) to outdoor heaters, to flower corsages for my mother and mother in law, and gift bags for our guests. My husband and I were able to relax and be guests at our wedding, knowing that Gabrielle and Lorraine totally had our backs. They thought of and took care of EVERYTHING. Lastly, their taste. I actually cannot praise this enough. I am very picky in terms of aesthetic and my husband and I did not necessarily share the same idea of our ideal wedding look. Gabrielle and Lorraine blended our preferences into the most beautiful event. They honored all of our requests and elaborated on them. They truly captured our personalities in the look and feel of the event, and I trusted them implicitly. They are the real deal!
Both Lorraine & Gabrielle are amazing! I've had the pleasure of working with them for multiple events and their professionalism, responsiveness and expertise is unparalleled. They do an amazing job of ensuring our top priorities, vision and style are incorporated into each event and always match us with top of the line vendors for all of our event needs. I 100% trust them to create tasteful and dynamic events. Love them & their style!
Lorraine and Gabriele from Wile Events are magical!They captured my chic unique vision to a T. They are extremely professional, creative, attentive, responsive and incredible. They took all of my ideas through effortless collaboration and created a beautiful presentation at their studio where I saw my vision become reality. They were able to get my favorite flower, very exotic and not in season, and used it in the design for the centerpieces, Chuppah, and my bouquet. They used high quality materials and flowers to execute a flawless design. They also created one of a kind printed and acrylic signage. I would highly recommend Wile Events!
Lorraine and Gabrielle of Wile Events were fantastic to work with!
They were on top of every detail of the event, and were so easy to get in contact with. They went above and beyond with suggestions, planning, and coordination. All of our guests have been raving about the party. I cannot say enough good things about the Wile Events team. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for an event planner!
Wile Events did a FANTASTIC job on our Wedding Invitations. Our guests couldn't have raved more about them. From the details to the materials used, they were knocked out of the park!
Thanks Lorraine!

Wile Event was a pleasure to work with. We used Wile Events for invitations, seating chart and menu. They were professional, timely and creative!
As an event planner myself, I set very high expectations for our wedding. I had plenty of ideas for our printed design needs, but Lorraine from Wile Events made those ideas come to life. She was so easy to communicate and work with, and our wedding invitation suite turned out perfect. Wile Events also designed my bridal bouquet which turned out far more beautiful than I could have imagined.
Wile Events helped to create a unique vision - they worked within our budget and provided the best options available to us creating a magical weekend!
Such a superb vendor to work with. I loved my invitations they made. Took direction well and had a very open line of communication. Also always got back to me which is so important when planning a wedding.
Wile Events has an amazing team! They are extremely well organized, thoughtful and creative. Exactly what I was looking for in a wedding planner. I felt entirely safe and satisfied trusting them to create a once in a life time experience for myself and my family. Thank you ladies!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Gabrielle, Lorraine, and the amazing team at Wile Events!
Our party was was not a large event, yet they approached it with all the importance and attention to detail of a full scale wedding. Their skill and talents created a space that people are still talking about today, months later!! They took our ideas and produced a vision that I was not aware was possible. I was over the moon with the results.
Gabrielle and Lorraine were attentive to our every need, professional and lovely to work with. I cannot wait to plan another party just for the chance to work with them again.
Wonderful experience! The Wile sisters are creative, thoughtful, and so helpful making our wedding an incredible experience. Thank you for everything!
The Wile sisters took our floral and decor fantasy and made it a beautiful reality. They were very accommodating and customized every little detail to our personal style and liking. Gabrielle and Lorraine also went beyond the call of duty as florists in the months leading up to our wedding by providing us recommendations and advice regarding furniture rentals and room setup as well. I'm still receiving compliments on the greenery and florals from our March wedding. They are truly talented and with the times of bespoke wedding florals and decor. Couldn't have been happier with the way our wedding day felt and looked.
Lorraine and Gabrielle put together a beautiful day of us. They considered details and elements that really pulled everything together. Also when last minute wedding problems arose, they stepped up to make sure to solve them for us. Excellent work.
Wile Events far exceeded any expectations we had for our event. Not only were we planning on a quick deadline, but we had plenty of elements that were different and never done before. Lorraine and Gabrielle made us feel completely at ease the whole time and executed everything flawlessly. The day of the event, I felt completely useless as they were so on top of things. The event was stress free, beautifully done and a night to remember for all!
To say Wile Events exceeded our expectations would be an understatement. The entire wedding planning process was beyond delightful and happened so effortlessly. Lorraine and Gabrielle took our ideas and inspiration and ran with it. Wile Events brought our day to life in ways my husband and I never could have even dreamed. Our guest were BLOWN AWAY with every single person commenting that it was the most beautiful wedding they have ever been to.
All credit goes to the Wile Events team. My husband and I HIGHLY recommend using them.
I don't know where to begin with how creative, professional, and impressive Wile Events was to work with. The unique and personal details that they came up with weren't just visually stunning, but heartfelt, and told a story about my husband and I. Our hopes were to just have a beautiful wedding that guests would enjoy - but our expectations were exceeded a million times over with how gorgeous and special everything turned out. From our custom designed invitation suite & paper, to on-site event styling & florals, not one detail was overlooked. As someone who works in events professionally, I understand the amount of precision and care that was put into creating my dream day. Wile events is amazing and I can't thank them enough!
