Where do I start with the ladies at Love & Laughter Weddings?! From the very beginning, they made us feel heard and cared for, like we were their only clients. They understood our vision and made it even better with their creative ideas and thoughtful touches. The entire planning process was SO smooth because they were always one step ahead! On the big day, they handled everything so seamlessly that all we had to do was soak it all in and enjoy the moment, which is really what we wanted at the end of the day. It was so reassuring knowing they had everything under control! Peace of mind is priceless! Our wedding felt like a dream and I'm sad it's over, but forever grateful for the team of women that made our day so incredibly special. These ladies are so kind, talented, and dedicated, and we can't thank them enough for making our wedding day everything we’d hoped for and more. Please do yourself a favor and hire this amazing group of women.

Working with Greta for our February 2025 wedding was a dream come true. From the moment we met with her (and even before we signed a contract with her) she was incredibly supportive and helpful. If you want someone who is going to take care of every detail before you can even think to ask about them, she's your girl. From our first call, my husband and I knew we would be working with her. She has such a calming demeanor but she's also incredibly resourceful and uses her knowledge and abilities to the max. Having no family in the area, I really had to lean on her for a lot more than I thought I might, especially when I was having issues with my wedding dress. She even came with me to pick it up the first time!! Greta has so many connections and really knows her stuff when it comes to weddings. She'll be real with you about what's possible within your budget and she really helped us stay within ours - she has a great system that she provides you access to. I could go on and on about how amazing she is. I'm just sad that our wedding is now over and we won't have a reason to connect! We love you Greta!!!!

I had the opportunity to work with Lee Ramsay Events for our wedding in August. Lee demonstrated the perfect temperament and attention to detail needed. My fiancé is a surgical resident meaning much of the planning was left to me (the groom) and Lee. Lee managed all of the personalities in our wedding party, family, and venue masterfully. We continue to receive compliments days and weeks after about our wedding and the level of organization that made our day flow so well. She was a true joy to work with and all of our other vendors shared that she was one of the best planners they had ever worked with. When we hired Lee, we did not think we needed a full planner, but she more than demonstrated her ability in one of Manhattan’s premier venues. Lee offered other value add services and guidance to making our wedding weekend the perfect one. Her team of bridal attendants and assistants were incredible on Wedding day. I cannot recommend Lee Ramsay Events enough. I am excited to watch her career take off because she is clearly one of NYC’s most talented people in the event space and can handle events large and small.

Talk about making the impossible, possible! I had worked with MVW Events to plan a surprise engagement picnic for my then girlfriend, now wife. Around the time, I was wrapping up my graduate program and set to graduate the day after I planned on proposing. MVW helped me set the vision for the picnic and coordinated sourcing vendors for the right deals on items that would make the moment extra special. With all the details in place, I was confident in what we had planned and was actually less nervous about the whole bended knee thing because of it. Fast forward to the day of and guess what ... It RAINED!! so the park area I had in mind did not allow folks on the grass after fresh rain so we had to change plans on the fly. Morgan and her super creative brain proposed she and her team set up everything in my apartment instead. That way we could have everything we needed for the occasion within arms reach. She even secretly met me while I was out with my partner at a school event to grab my apartment keys and head over to set everything up while I was out. When we got home, when I say the place looked like MAGIC!! We were both blown away (but of course I had an idea of what to expect). And of course, it went perfectly from there. We are now coming on a year happily married and I would not have had the confidence to execute such a plan on my own. THANK YOU Morgan & Team!! 10/10 Recommend!

I truly don't know how to thank Justina enough for helping us plan our wedding day, and for the emotional support she offered along the way. From day one, she went above and beyond in helping us choose and communicate with vendors (some more difficult than others), guide us towards decisions we were struggling to make, advocated for us, kept us on track, and on top of that dealt with my panicked 7 AM texts about weather forecasts the month leading up to the wedding. Our wedding was a dream, and I truly don't believe it would have been possible without her. Not only did she make planning so much more manageable, but when an unforeseen circumstance came up during the reception she handled it like a total pro, and not a single guest noticed. Truthfully one of the saddest parts of our wedding day ending was that we wouldn't be working with her anymore!

Chelsea Song Events

New York, NY
  • Offers 3 services
  • Starts at $6,500

Hi there! I’m Chelsea. With a keen attention to detail, strong organizational skills, sophisticated aesthetic, and balance between creativity and logistics, I craft personalized, heartfelt celebrations. I combine my design sensibility with exceptional customer service skills to create events that aren’t just memorable, but deeply personal and impeccably managed. And lastly, I’m not just here to be your planner — I hope to build lasting friendships as we create unforgettable moments together.

LGBTQ safe. Type A personality approved. Experience with lesbian weddings (two bridezillas). Awesome team. Communicative and highly organized. 180 person wedding. After having a bad experience with another wedding planner, we found Chelsea Song Events. And thank god, we did. Chelsea immediately put my partner and I at ease. Within a week, Chelsea made us a shared document/spreadsheet where she organized all our vendors, to-do lists, timelines, etc. When I talk about everything was organized (even when to write vows, parent gifts, when to organize bathroom baskets and what to put in them), I mean everything.. Having access to this helped our Type A personalities feel so much better. For months, we met on a regular basis, and Chelsea always came with an agenda to help us focus on what needed to be done or updates about what she had done during those two weeks. There was full transparency which we really appreciated. After hiring some wonky vendors (before we met Chelsea), she pushed to make sure she personally had meetings with them and prepared them to deliver on the day of. She also created design mockups and floor plans so that we could really envision what the venue would look like. The month of the wedding, Chelsea handled everything having to do with vendors and the venue (double checking things, COIs, contacts), giving us brides the time to relax and get excited for the big day (without a to-do list ourselves). And day of, wow! She killed it. She and her team handled everything so that we didn’t have to. We had 180 people and a dozen vendors. But still, every time she saw us, Chelsea assured us everything was perfect (AKA she was putting out fires left and right, but we didn’t know that). And we ran EXACTLY on time, thanks to her. We also heard from so many of our vendors that she was amazing to work with on that side too. It’s difficult to put your trust into someone when planning a wedding, but speaking for myself and my partner, you can trust Chelsea every step of the way. She truly cares about her couples, and she loves what she does. She’s always reachable, great to bounce ideas off of, and wants to make your dream wedding come true. While being a perfectionist planner, Chelsea is also the kindest person. We can’t recommend her enough.

At the beginning of wedding planning pre-Covid19, we didn't think wedding planners were a necessity; surely we can manage everything on our own with the help of family and friends, right? But life happened in ways no one expected, and so we came across Wonders & Weddings. After a brief session in which we discussed what we have envisioned for our wedding and the details of everything we had prepared ourselves, Khun Wannida showed us what "more" we could achieve with her help, and so the process of turning dreams into reality began. Wonders & Weddings were absolutely fantastic. They respected what we wanted for our wedding and they did their absolute best in every way possible; they went above and beyond with every tiny detail we added/removed even when it was so last minute. Were there any hiccups or things that didn't go as planned? Definitely! But W&W made sure to smooth things out and helped us along the way. Looking back now, there were a few things we wished we changed for our wedding, but hiring W&W was not one of them, that's for sure.

I'm an anonymous (and very cheesy) writer. Living the dream in New York City. My aim with DZC EVENTS is combining traditions and cultures (where you come from) with freedom and evolution (where you want to be) and creating your wedding from scratch so the ‘spark’ that makes your love so unique is transmitted…

I got married 4 months ago, and Dani was my month of coordinator. She is nothing but AMAZING. I am an extremely detail oriented person and Dani made me feel like every detail was accounted for. She is extremely organized and trusting. She understood our vision and was also so wonderful to chat to on a regular basis She’s relaxed yet organized/ so on top of everything. She makes you feel calmer in times of stress and never gets too authoritative with her opinions. She’s a true collaborator (with you and all the other vendors) and has the best advice. Lastly, and most importantly, I had zero worries the day of my wedding. I knew she had everything handled and that I could trust her and her team 100%. She made everything feel safe. Hire her before she’s not available!!!! You won’t be disappointed.

My husband and I got married on 6/15/2024. I handled majority of our wedding planning, but as an OCD bride, my biggest anxiety was not being able to be hands on for the day of our wedding. Everyone was telling me that as the bride I had to enjoy my wedding day, but all I could think about was “I need to make sure everything goes exactly the way I’ve been planning it for the last year and a half”. That’s when I knew I needed a day of coordinator. I came across Star Rose Creations and I’m SO happy that I did. Miranda and Kylie are absolutely gems!! They are both so professional, caring, and understanding. They were an absolute pleasure to work with. From the initial meeting, to creating timelines for the day of, to making sure that everything was setup the way my floor plan showed, to handling the vendors, to making sure we kept on schedule for the ceremony and reception… I mean they handled it all! And most importantly, they kept me smiling which helped to keep my tears at bay on the happiest day of my life! I can’t tell you how happy I was to have them both there on our wedding day!

I’m not even sure where to begin to describe how amazing Events by McKenna is at what they do!! McKenna is the most kind, helpful, and enthusiastic person to assist you during such an important time in your life. She made sure everything went perfectly on our wedding day and every day leading up to it! When we first started our wedding planning journey, we only knew where we wanted to have it, and due to the venue location not regularly being used for weddings, we needed to outsource vendors for everything. That's where McKenna came in and helped us out by hand-picking every vendor that she knew would provide the exact things we were looking for. From catering, florals, furniture rentals, DJ, and all the little details, she knew who would be perfect for the job and she was right about every single one! Every time we had a question or a crazy idea, she had an answer right away and she would do everything she could to make it happen. One thing that we were really hoping for was getting a disco ball above our dance floor, but since we were outdoors, it wasn’t looking promising. McKenna was the one who made sure that we got our disco ball, and it was absolutely perfect! That’s just one example of the many ways McKenna ensured our dream wedding would become a reality. On the day of, McKenna and her team were so efficient and handled everything so that my husband and I could relax and focus on ourselves. We got to our venue and everything was already done and ready to start the day! McKenna was amazing at time management throughout the day, and she was so helpful to not only us, but our families, wedding party and guests as well. Everything went perfectly on schedule and all the crazy ideas that we had came to life with no issues! It was truly the best day of our lives and it wouldn’t have been possible without McKenna’s help!

The Dhalia Events team was absolutely one of the best decisions I made for my wedding. Their level of professionalism and attention to detail were truly outstanding - I have never seen someone as detail oriented as Deliece!

They kept meticulous track of everything and made the wedding planning process so enjoyable for me by stripping out my involvement in many paperwork signings and email correspondence, leaving my time for all of the exciting parts! Their team kept us on track with a schedule , recommending vendors as we went along if there was anything I felt I needed an opinion on. Although they have planned many weddings, they were fantastic in ensuring the day felt authentically like ours and helped keep aesthetic, vendor choice and details true to us.

Dana and her team went above and beyond to ensure planning my out of state wedding was exactly what I envisioned! From the start of our planning period, up until the day of - Thyme & Detail made me feel loved and had the day running like well oiled machine. If any day-of issues would arise, this team was ON IT! Dana also offered multiple centerpiece rentals and had insight to other vendors that help bring my vision to life. Even after the wedding, I loved that Dana was able to help us donate items like our flowers to charities and give back to the community. Thank you Thyme & Detail for being part of our special day!

Joy was incredible to work with as our Month Of Coordinator, can’t recommend her and the Taylored Events team enough! We’d already selected our venue, vendors, and design, but wanted support with ironing out final details, timelines, and day-of logistics. We initially weren’t sure if we needed a coordinator to begin with, but are so glad we went with them, especially because it made the day completely stress free, not only for us as the couple, but just as importantly, for our family and wedding party. Joy gave us a spreadsheet to help us check off everything we needed for planning, created our timeline down to the minute for the day of, coordinated all communication with vendors leading up to and throughout the wedding, oversaw our rehearsal walk-through the day before (on site), and set up our decor for us. Special touches included being so kind to our flower girls and keeping them entertained (thank you to Joy’s assistant, Lindsey) during speeches, taking phenomenal candids and Polaroids throughout (we had a camera out for guests to use during reception, pic attached), and helping with my quick dress change. Joy & team are super organized, friendly, diligent, professional, and flexible — and they really care about everyone having a great time. Huge thanks for all you did to allow us to be 100% present with each other and with our loved ones on our special day!

About wedding planners in New York, NY

What does a wedding planner do?

Wedding planners offer a range of services, from full-service planning to day-of coordination. Full-service planning can include anything from helping design your events to managing vendors and negotiating contracts. Day-of coordination is more focused on making sure your wedding day goes off without a hitch. In New York, NY, 80% of planners offer day-of coordination and 78% can provide some partial planning services.

What's the cost of hiring a wedding planner in New York, NY?

Wedding planners start at $250 and run up to $200,000 in New York, NY. Quite a range, we know! But keep in mind packages vary tremendously depending on what you’re looking for, so it makes sense to reach out to several planners to find one that can collaborate in the way that’s most helpful (and relaxing) for you.

How much is a day of wedding coordination in New York, NY?

Do I need a wedding planner or a day of coordinator?

Choosing between a wedding planner and day-of coordinator can be tricky! We recommend asking prospective planners about their packages to understand the best fit for your needs and budget. In New York, NY, 72% offer both options, so they can help explain the differences!

Can wedding planners in NYC help with budget management?

Absolutely. A stellar NYC wedding planner doesn't just juggle the aesthetics; they're all about the numbers too. Budget management is typically included in full-service wedding planning packages, which can be really valuable, since these pros have a wealth of knowledge about what things should cost. They also often have strong relationships with other industry professionals that can help you get a better deal. They know New York's wedding market like the back of their hands and are pros at prioritizing expenses to help you stay on track.

How does a wedding planner in NYC handle vendor negotiations?

Imagine your wedding planner as your personal negotiator, armed with charm, experience, and a phone full of contacts. They step into the ring for you, securing deals, upgrades, and those little extras that make all the difference—that's the power of industry connections and savvy-negotiating skills.

What is the backup plan if the wedding planner is unavailable on the wedding day in NYC?

Panic not, savvy planners always have a plan B, C, and even D. Your NYC wedding planner likely has a trusted second-in-command or a team that's briefed on every detail of your day. That said, it’s a good idea to ask about the details of backup plans before you book your wedding planner, and make sure that everything is outlined in your contract in a way that makes you feel comfortable. That way, if life throws a curveball, your wedding won't miss a beat.
