    So lucky to have hired Nessa for my wedding!

    Nessa was an absolute dream helping us with our wedding! She provided some incredible vendor recommendations and wonderful advice, we felt in great hands! Weddings can be stressful but having Nessa there and her relaxed calming presence made such a difference. Communication was great, she was just a text or phone call away. And the venue was setup perfectly. The day was absolutely perfect, everything ran so smoothly (what more could you ask for?) and Nessa was a huge part in that. She is also able to adapt quickly, when I decided I wanted to do a grand exit and had not really thought out any of the details, she helped me execute my vision seamlessly and created the best photos!! It felt like she was truly there for us and cared about our day. My family and my new husband are so lucky to have met her and enlisted her help!

    Dream wedding!!!

    We hired Vanessa to do our wedding at The 1909 and it was everything we ever dreamed. She was friendly, available, and on top of every detail. We looked to her guidance throughout most of the process and felt taken care of the entire way through. She is not only a great event coordinator, but she's a great person and will make your day incredibly special! We would 100% recommend her to anyone and everyone. Thanks Vanessa!

    Professional and personable

    We are beyond grateful for the incredible support and expertise provided by Vanessa. She played an indispensable role in ensuring that our special day ran smoothly and allowed us to truly enjoy every moment without any worries or stress. On the wedding day, Vanessas' presence brought us an immense sense of relief. She effortlessly handled all the behind-the-scenes coordination, allowing us and our families to fully immerse ourselves in the celebration. Her calm and composed demeanor was a true asset, even during moments of unexpected challenges. She skillfully managed any last-minute changes or hiccups that arose, and their quick thinking and problem-solving abilities were impressive.
    One of Vanessa's standout qualities was her exceptional communication and coordination with all the vendors involved. She acted as a central point of contact, ensuring that everyone was on the same page and that everything was executed according to our vision. Her professionalism and ability to work collaboratively with the entire team were remarkable, making the entire wedding day a seamless and cohesive experience.
    In conclusion, we cannot thank Vanessa enough for their exceptional professionalism, meticulous planning, and flawless execution.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our dream wedding a reality!

    Vanessa is absolutely amazing!

    My husband and I got married last March and hired Vanessa as our wedding planner. Vanessa was absolutely amazing. She was attentive, detail oriented, conscientious, and extremely professional. Not only does she have impeccable taste but she is well connected with all the vendors. Thanks to Vanessa, we had our dream wedding. Everything went so smoothly the day of wedding, thanks to Vanessa. Highly highly recommend Vanessa!

    Coordinator Extraordinaire

    We can't thank Vanessa enough for her incredible work as our wedding coordinator. She was there for us every step of the way, from helping us to navigate through complicated family dynamics, to providing a detailed timeline that kept us on track, to being flexible to any last-minute changes that came her way.

    Vanessa was always available to answer any and all of our questions and provided helpful recommendations for how we should think about our wedding. She provided valuable insights and helped us to stay within our budget.

    On the day of the wedding, Vanessa was a true heroine, taking care of every little detail with ease and grace. No job was too small for her, and she was always ready to lend a hand -- carrying things for us, helping to pin the boutonniere on my husband, checking in with our other vendors and making sure that everything ran smoothly.

    We highly recommend Vanessa to anyone looking for an efficient, thoughtful, and attentive wedding coordinator who truly cares about making your day special. Thank you, Vanessa, for everything you did to make our wedding day unforgettable!

    Talented, flexible and so great to work with!

    Vanessa is amazing! We worked with Vanessa on partial wedding planning and day-of coordination. We changed our wedding plans midway through the planning process and Vanessa did not bat an eye. It's not easy to DIY an Indian wedding mandap but she did it with so much ease and the end product was better than anything we could have imagined. She was endlessly supportive, connected us to awesome vendors, and was instrumental in making the wedding day a success. She was so easy to work with and never let us stress. Thank you so much, Vanessa - we are so grateful! - Shona and Roger

    I was completely happy with our decision to hire Vanessa as the "Day of Coordinator" at our Castle Green wedding! She was running things behind the scenes, kept our timeline in check, and was such a huge help setting up, and then storing all of our decorative items, gifts, etc!
    I appreciated her insight and expertise and can definitely say she made the less stressful. I cannot imagine having to run the day myself or delegating the work to a family/bridal party member. No way! Thank you, Vanessa! 5 stars! :)

    This review is soooo long overdue. Exactly a year ago, Vanessa helped to make our big day so special. As our Day of Coordinator she allowed us to sit back, relax and enjoy the wonderful whirlwind (because we knew she had our backs!). In addition to keeping the party flowing the day of, she offered us so much helpful guidance along the way. There is so much information out there and as a new bride, it can be pretty overwhelming. At our first meeting, she helped me focus in on the wedding planning essentials and identify areas where I might be able to get creative and stretch my limited budget a bit farther. She even connected us we some of the vendors she had established relationships with along the way.

    Love that lady and feel so grateful for her services!

    OK. This is long overdue.
    I got married May 21, 2016 and Vanessa did an amazing job. I would recommend her 100%.
    I honestly didn't have to worry about a thing.

    Vanessa made sure everything was streamless.By the end of the night all my gifts were packed, loaded in my sisters car and ready to go.

    My whole family mentioned how successful everything went and I really owe it to Vanessa. We didn't stress but rather enjoyed "the special day".

    I have recommended her to lots of my family and friends. ??

    We had a non-traditional, themed wedding (Roaring 20’s) and Vanessa was on board for all the shenanigans. We went with the “Day Of” package, which is really more like a “Week or Two” package. Vanessa asked me for our list of vendors beforehand, and then contacted all of them a few weeks before to make sure that all our ducks were in a row. Turns out that final payments were due on two of them (be aware…not all vendors accept the final payment at the event, some are ahead of time!), so I was thrilled she caught that.

    Vanessa came to the final meeting at our venue (the Oviatt Penthouse) to go over where everything was going to go, how the timeline would run, etc. We were on a tight budget and doing a lot of stuff ourselves, including providing our own liquor, and renting glassware and bringing it up ourselves, along with our own Paper Moon “photo booth” and other decorations. It was a lot of stuff to bring up and down the elevator. We had a lot of friends helping with all this stuff, but even so, it was a lot of coordination. She even offered to transport a bunch of the stuff in her SUV, but it turned out we were able to get it there ourselves.

    On the day of, everything went surprisingly smoothly! I was expecting a whole bunch of phone calls in the hotel while we were getting ready, but nope! None. Anything I hadn’t spelled out, Vanessa figured it out on her own, and everything looked fabulous. It was such a relief! I’m a worrier, so it was nice to just let it all go and enjoy the day.

    Vanessa even got into the spirit of the theme, and dressed in a flapper outfit like all the guests - so fun! She’s a sweetheart and will put your mind at ease - I can’t recommend her more. I plan large parties all the time and wasn’t going to get a coordinator, but I’m SO glad I did, and I’m SO glad we picked Vanessa.

    I'm so pleased with our decision to hire Vanessa! Initially, I didn't think we would need a coordinator. As a logistician with a background in procurement (hiring vendors), I thought I could handle it all myself. As it got closer to the wedding date, I realized I needed someone to help herd 160 guests, coordinate with vendors, and keep us to schedule on the actual wedding day. It was really important to me that I wasn't asking friends and family to do this job. I did a lot of research and called up Vanessa about a month before our wedding. I was really lucky that she was still available for our (off-season) wedding and was willing to work within our budget. The week before the wedding she conducted a site visit. She asked great questions and helped us think through the final logistics. She's exceptionally professional and did a fantastic job on the wedding day. Everything about our wedding was seamless. Thank you, Vanessa!

    As our wedding anniversary approaches and my husband and I think back to our special day, we know it would not have been as enjoyable had it not been for Vanessa. My family is very helpful and usually when someone gets married, there are aunts and cousins who offer to help set up for the wedding. After doing this for several weddings and not feeling like I could fully enjoy the day, I knew that I wanted someone to help take care of all the details so my mom and her sisters wouldn't have to. I was very hesitant when we started to meet with day of coordinators. They made the same promises and seemed all business, but when I met Vanessa, she immediately made me feel comfortable.

    Our venue offered a staff member to oversee the set up of simple items on the day of the wedding but I was worried things would not be carried out the way that I envisioned. Vanessa went with us to our walk through and had so many great questions that I would have never thought about. She emailed me a list of specific questions about our big day and had suggestions when I was unsure about things. On the day of our wedding, my family fell in love with her. (One of my aunts thought she was one of my friends because of how well she took care of us.) She was by my side when I needed her and orchestrated a flawless flow to the day. What I appreciated most was all of the little details that she took care of. She interacted with our guests, helped me fix my hair, saved us some appetizers while we took pictures, prompted the DJ when we wanted to thank our guests, helped my family organize our belongings at the end of the night and showed me how to elegantly cut our wedding cake.

    Thank you so much, Vanessa, for all of your help! We are truly grateful!!

    Timo and I cannot extend enough thanks to Vanessa for coordinating our wonderfully romantic wedding. Her hard work and care ensured that our day was enjoyable and stress-free. She definitely handled everything in a professional manner and we could not be more happier! We appreciate Vanessa's personal attention and every effort. Not only was she proficient, but amazingly personable. She made Timo and I feel as if our day was the most important day of her life. It was a blessing to have had her as our coordinator. From the first time we spoke, we were impressed by her warmth and professionalism. My intuition told me she was the perfect coordinator for us. Im happy to say my intuitive sense was right on the mark. Her experience greatly exceeded our extremely high expectations. Not only are we still raving about our wedding day, but we are also recommending her services to any and everyone who inquires. We'll be back in a few years with friends and family to renew our vows if I have my way. We cannot thank Vanessa enough for the beautiful memories!-- Nate and Timo

    Hiring Vanessa as our day-of coordinator was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We initially did not think we would need a coordinator. But as the day got closer, we realized there are so many little things that need to be done on the day-of.

    Vanessa was on top of everything for our wedding day. She made excellent suggestions before the wedding, and made sure everything was setup perfectly the day-of. We basically gave her everything we wanted setup, and she executed it all. There were things we brought the day-of that we forgot to give her at the rehearsal. We didn't have time to talk to her about them, but she figured out exactly what they were for. That's just great experience and initiative!

    She was so calm and made sure we were comfortable throughout the day. If there were any issues, she must have taken care of them, because we did not know about them. And there was definitely potential for issues. We have HUGE families, so there were a ton of kids, both as guests and in the wedding. When we told Vanessa we were having 7 kids (not a typo!) in the ceremony, she went with it. She was great with the kids during the rehearsal, made great suggestions to the parents on how to get them down the aisle, and the ceremony turned out awesome!

    Everything turned out great, and we could not have done it without a coordinator. We're so happy we went with Vanessa, because she was simply amazing!

    I hired Vanessa as a day of coordinator for my wedding, and she was amazing. She made sure the day went smoothly, and organized every festivity that happens on that day. The day of your wedding your head is spinning so fast that there is no way I could have done it without her. She was thrown a ton of information at the last minute and she took it and made our wedding absolutely perfect. She's super cool, knows everything you need to know about weddings, and makes sure every little detail is taken care of. Hire her! You will be so happy you did!

    Vanessa knows what she's doing. she's very easy to work with and gives great advises when needed. She was very helpful throughout the planning and especially on the day of. She made sure I was taken care of as the day turned out to be more busy than I had expected. I'd recommend her to anyone!

    Vanessa is just WOW! She is so talented, fantastic and was so fun to work with. She made me feel so calm because I knew she would make sure our wedding day looked exactly as we wanted. The second I walked into our venue space and saw the magic she did I was so incredibly happy and that happiness was all over my face for the rest of our wedding day. I absolutely can't recommend her enough and know that I will be calling her whenever I need help with a special event.

    Vanessa was a fabulous day-of coordinator for our wedding day for many reasons. She was professional as well as personal. Her communication was prompt. She was very thorough in the planning stages, and Vanessa executed those plans before, during, and after the wedding. She allowed us to be at ease and truly enjoy the day. Our wedding was a complete success thanks to Vanessa and her expertise. I would recommend Vanessa to be at you service for your special day.

    Planning a wedding there is no short of other people's opinions and ideas. Some very outspoken and some very unmotivated so needless to say when I was referred Vanessa and met with her for the first time it was beyond a breath of fresh air to have someone so "on the same page" with my thoughts and ideas.

    Vanessa pretty much read my mind and was able to forsee all the small and large details I wasn't thinking of. She was able to clearly identify everyone's roles and how she fit in to the grand scheme of the day. Needless to say the turned a frazzled bride into a confident and calm human being.

    The day of she was so kind to pick up the boutonnieres, my bouquet and the mother of the brides flowers. Since we chose not to do the first look, I spent the majority of my day hidden and not able to satisfy the control freak I am and walk the premises to make sure everything had been set up or was going along well. Luckily when Vanessa arrived she already had it under wraps and gave me an update on everything and effortlessly didn't skip a beat all night long.

    To say she was fantastic is an understatement! We decided to hire a coordinator to have peace of mind for the day, but Vanessa deliver so much more than that. She's a true professional who knows her stuff and is 100% invested in you. She gave me the gift of being able to focus on my new husband and soak up every wonderful moment the night had. Can't thank her enough!!!

    Thanks Vanessa!!

    Amazing all around!

    NessaEvents was the smartest thing I did for my wedding. Vanessa was always such a calm and positive energy. She navigated my husband and I through all of the planning and decisions, removing a great deal of stress weddings have been known to create. She had great recommendations for potential vendors and was always wonderful about circling back to ensure we were connected with the venue, caterers, rental company and florist. My entire bridal party and family raved about her and truly depended on her for every little thing on the day of the wedding. This included her magic bag of emergency fixers. My dress had caught on the wheel of our bicycle pedicab and resulted in a grease line at the bottom of my dress. Vanessa was right there ready with her tide-to-go pen and I was able to make it to our reception welcome dance line spotless! Vanessa and her assistant went all out to ensure every detail was covered. For a wedding that had multiple venues connected to the day, my husband I were beyond impressed with her attention to detail and organization. I highly recommend NessaEvents for your wedding. Not only will you get someone well versed in wedding / event planning, but also someone who is friendly, personable and professional in every aspect.

    Vanessa was a fantastic wedding planner. Due to travel, I was completely an absentee bride for planning. Vanessa found almost all of my vendors and arranged everything. Our wedding was MUCH nicer than I expected. I definitely couldn't have done it without her. Thanks for making our day beautiful!

    I should have hired Vanessa as soon as my wife and I planned our wedding. Even though she only had about 2 weeks of prep and information (because we hired her 2 weeks away from the big day), most everything went off perfectly. 'Nessa had some great insights (not many of which we were able to implement in the limited time frame) and won over our guests with her confidence and professionalism.

    We didn't get our cake song, but that was a problem with our DJ. Everything else went according to our plan. To ensure that things go smoothly, make sure that you hire her early if you need the event planning expertise. I have no doubt in my mind that if we hired her long before we got our vendors, many of our vendors would have worked together with no qualms.

    Cheers, 'Nessa! (Sorry it took so long to write this, been busy with a new job. PS - Yet another reason to hire her is that there is *no* way the bride & groom can handle the behind the scenes action while in the spotlight on the wedding day!)
