The wedding of my dreams became a reality and that would not have been possible without the help of Deb and her team! They executed everything from the wedding rehearsal to every small detail of our big day. My husband and I could not have been more pleased with our beautifully designed and well-organized wedding. We can't wait to use Deb again when we renew our vows for out 5th anniversary!

Deb from Y Knot Now transformed our wedding day at Chimney Hill into a magical and beautiful affair. Her ability to style a wedding is unmatched. Her and her team are very knowledgeable about vendors and have many great vendors that work with them! Even if you choose not to go with Deb, consider renting some of her beautiful (pinterest-worthy) props! We had so many people tell us that this was the most beautiful wedding they had ever been to. Deb and her team are amazing on the day of the wedding, making sure that everything runs smoothly, guests are happy and most importantly that you are enjoying and cherishing your day.

Deb & Rachel from Y Knot Now made our wedding a dream come true! We booked our venue in 2014 and we were married in 2016. With just an imagination, Deb made our dreams come to life. Everything was above and beyond what we could have asked for! We will highly recommend Y Knot Now to all my friends and family. Our guests were raving about our reception the day of our wedding and they are still raving about it today! The BBQ food was out of this world, so many complements! Y Knot Now took the stress out of planning a wedding! We cannot thank the entire team at Y Knot Now especially Deb & Rachel for everything they did for us! Even getting them out on the dance floor was a blast! Thank you SO much for making our wedding unforgettable and incredible!

Deb, Kristin, Adrian and Rachel made our big day amazing and beautiful. I cannot say enough good things about these ladies - they executed on every item and exceeded my expectations of my wedding day (not many brides can say that!) They were not only a phenomenal wedding planning team, but really became more like friends. From the food, to the flowers, to the tiny details, these ladies made our wedding day complete. Our guests commented on how wonderful everything looked and how great the team did on making it look "just like" me. That was what I truly wanted - a representation of my style and me and my husbands love! Thank you, thank you, thank you for everything you each did to make our wedding planning experience unforgettably great. I have recommended you to everyone I could find planning a wedding so far. THANK YOU! We love you!

We have hosted weddings at our venue for over 20 years. YKN is hands down the best at design, planning and management of our events we have ever had. Their style of seeking to truly understand the wants and needs of the client and then custom designing an event that fulfills their expectations is like no one else.

The moment our wedding planner Deb, her assistant Rachel, Adrian and their team walked into our lives, we gained amazing friendships and the entire wedding planning process was exciting and went very smoothly. We had our wedding at the Chimney Hill Estate Inn in Lambertville, NJ. It’s a beautiful Bed and Breakfast Inn with an Alpaca farm and butterfly garden. Each room had its own charm to it. My family and friends loved staying there. It was a little country farm oasis. She provided us with the venue, DJ, catering, food tasting, cake, our rehearsal dinner location/food, flowers, wedding officiant, tent rental/lighting, décor, props and liquor. The Inn owner Rich Anderson was so wonderful and couldn't say enough good things about him. Rich, being a minister also, married us and created the sweetest and most touching wedding ceremony for us as he got to know us better. The entire wedding was laid back with corn hole during cocktail hour, our delicious BBQ reception, to our self-serve beer garden. Everyone was so relaxed and having such a good time, which is exactly what we wanted and went above and beyond our expectations. When we were scheduled to meet Deb a little over a year ago, we were driving through a horrific rain storm and the main road we were on was closed and had to turn around and go home. Deb thought that we would never reschedule and that she would never see us again, but little did she know that fate would bring us together at another time. These people truly touched our hearts and made our wedding dreams come true. It was exactly what we wanted and more. So honored to now call these people friends and stay close in touch.

Deb is by far tops in her profession. She has a great eye for detail and decoration. She has a great personality that makes for a pleasant experience in a very stressful planning process being it's the biggest day of peoples lives. I would highly recommend her and her company to anyone planning an event. Her staff as well are highly professional and make sure that they are available to serve you and your guest on our special day .

My husband and I recently got married at the Chimney Hill Estates and would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a unique and personal wedding venue. This was not your typical wedding in a ball room, it was outside under a tent & could not have been more beautiful!! Our friends and family are still talking about how amazing everything turned out and how they’ve never been to a wedding like ours in the past. Deb and her staff took an interest in getting to know us and made sure the venue reflected exactly what we wanted. From the food to the décor, all aspects of our day far exceeded our expectation and truly made it a day we will never forget. We also were engaged for only 5 months but we were still able to pull off the perfect wedding and all the credit goes to Deb and her staff! If you’re looking for a rustic wedding venue, I would highly recommend the Chimney Hill Estates and Y Know Now.

Working with Y Knot Now was an absolute pleasure. Deborah and her team are amazing and did an amazing job planning my wedding. Everything was so well organized and when I walked into the tent where my reception was held I was floored. Everything looked so beautiful. It looked like something out of a magazine. I felt like I was at a "Great Gatsby" party. I highly recommend Deborah and her crew. You will not be disappointed.

I needed to plan a wedding in a very short time frame (pregnant bride!) and Deb did a great job arranging everything for my small intimate wedding. It was exactly what we were looking for and the whole time felt Deb had everything under control and I could relax and focus on the baby. She and her team provided me with a lovely worry free day that my whole family enjoyed!

We recently had our wedding at the Chimney Hill Inn and Estate in March 2016 and worked with Y Knot Now team. Our taste and preference were to have a small (about 75 ppl) and intimate wedding that offered a backdrop of the countryside. We got exactly that with Chimney Hill. The property is beautiful and the Inn is quaint. The wedding planning experience with Deb on the other hand was not as pleasant as we had hoped.
There are a list of setbacks we experienced and have shared in great detail on theKnot if you are interested in learning more. In summary, if you are considering Chimney Hill Inn and Estate as a wedding venue - we absolutely recommend the property! However, we do believe that the wedding planning team do have some kinks to work through from a logistics and execution standpoint that we are sure they will straighten out in time. There are communication issues, disorganization, slow catering, and small nitpicky things like dimmer lights, fuse breaks, slideshow mishaps etc.

While Deb talked a good talk, the whole process with her just gave me the impression that she was too busy for us. Very unresponsive and clearly did not communicate among her assistants. I kept having to repeat my answers to the same questions, sometimes to the same person. Even though she said she would drop by our venue to make sure everything was okay, she never showed (probably because she was also the planner for 2 other weddings that day).

I don't doubt that they are able to pull of events better but I wanted to be honest about my experience.

Too many complaints to write. They were unresponsive, could not care less about our event and messed up basic tasks. Still so disappointed and angry about the money that went to waste. Had to change their name to Waverly and Grand after bad press.

The only good thing was that their caterer had great bbq - too bad they threw out all of the food after the event and we couldn't take any of it with us to our room. Unbelievably unprofessional - this was so stressful to plan when it should've been a piece of cake. Check out their reviews on the Knot to read more details.

My daughter recently had her wedding on 9/9/17 at sterling brook farm . Deb Ross was the wedding planner . Since we first met her she has changed her company from y knot wedding to waverly and grand now paintchips and peonies . I reviewed her under waverly and grand and she removed the website . If you research her under these sites you will find all the negative reviews on her . Do yourself a favor and find another wedding planner . She will promise you things and then not deliver. There were red flags from the get go such as never answering emails phone calls . It seemed you were never a priority for her . I had to change initial venue that she recommended because the owner was fraudulent on his taxes and the property closed overnight. Deb was never accountable for anything . I was promised chandeliers lanterns 2 bar setups never happened. Guests ate off same plate as appetizers. Deb was no where to be found during wedding to guide guests . I could go on and on please do yourself a favor find another planner

Y knot now (now known as Waverly and Grand) was a complete and total let down! We scheduled our wedding with Deb and quickly learned where we stood on her priority list. She talks a big game and sells a good pitch but as soon as she's got your signature signed, you'll barely hear from her. Not even when your venue has to cancel your wedding. Save yourself the heartache and don't work with these people. Certainly don't give them any money; they will refuse to return it even after they screw up. This is what happened to us.
