I can't say enough good things about our experience with Brandi. We are so happy with the way everything went. Brandi planned our triplet's B'nai Mitzvah. This was not an easy job but her creativity and attention to detail made the party perfect. Our triplets and guests are still talking about it a month later. We will be using her again and many of our friends will be too after seeing how amazing our party was! More...

We could not have asked for better wedding coordinators! Brandi and Kim were exceptional, starting off with phone calls and emails, through the craziness of last minute changes due to rain and an outside ceremony and cocktail hour, to the very final hour of our wedding day. They were professional every step of the way, and their guidance and expertise was appreciated! My parents were very impressed with both Brandi and Kim and how well they handled all of the details of our special day. They got to know our vendors well, which made us feel more comfortable as the day got closer. Their response time for phone calls, texts and emails was quick (less than 24 hours), and they were determined to make everything as perfect as possible for us. I am so glad we hired Brandi and Kim!

She was amazing.
She was very organized and handled everything on the day of my wedding so I could focus on enjoying my husband’s and my day

Brandi & Kim were AMAZING! We could not have pictured our wedding without them. They told us to sit back and relax and we did just that while they worked behind the scenes to help us enjoy our magical day!

They were quick to communicate, had great ideas & input, were very professional, and by the end of the wedding great friends! I would highly recommend Brandi and her team to any couple looking for someone to help relieve the pressures of wedding planning!

Wedding Planning

Brandi, our day of coordinator, & her assistant, Kim literally saved our big day, on more than 1 emergency situation! I cannot say enough great things about both of them! With Brandi, although we only hired her as our day of coordinator, she went above & beyond with our whole planning process. She helped me find new vendors for our dance floor when the original one I booked didn't have a big enough size, she followed up with our vendors, & the evening before our wedding, she directed our rehearsal. She was professional & came prepared, knew everyone's names without even meeting anyone before hand & printed copies of the order for everyone to reference. Our wedding was ALL DIY & on our big day, she knew the timeline & set up plans like the back of her hand - patiently coordinating my family for set up. She had GREAT ideas for activities to keep our guests engaged, & was flexible with our change of plans when we had to switch a few things around day of. She literally saved the day when my aunt didn't want to pick up the cake & coordinated one of my other family members to get it. Her planning, professionalism, & communication is OUTSTANDING!

Kim, from the very beginning was friendly, enthusiastic, & truly just a joy to be around. Everywhere I looked, Kim was right there & always open to help - offering assistance, restocking food, picking up trash, she was always so helpful. We had a disco ball pinata that I over stuffed with candy so it actually broke when we were trying to put it up & Kim saved the day by scooping everything up, finding an amazon box, & decorating it with the remanence of the pinata! GENIUS!!! Our wedding activity was saved! Her ability to problem solve is SUPERB! (Side note, she also has her own flower business & does beautiful arrangements!)

Brandi & Kim are literally THE BEST!!! Look no further, book Brandi & Kim right now!!! They will make your big day a DREAM COME TRUE & completely STRESS FREE!!! We are SO thankful for you both, Brandi & Kim!

Wedding Planning

Brandi went ABOVE and BEYOND her duties as a coordinator and truly put me first on my wedding day. She remained calm and positive and ensured that I remained stress-free amidst all the behind the scenes chaos. She even gave me her food cause I was rushing and hadn’t eaten all day 😭. She was very communicative throughout the entire process, answered any questions I had and was super supportive in getting all the vendors and timeline solidified for the day of. Brandi set up my decorative items exactly as discussed and was very creative in figuring out where/how to put things to fit my Boho aesthetic. She even brought some of her own things to fill in the spaces and help complete the look. I can’t express enough the gratitude for everything Brandi did, and for making sure my special day just that :) I felt very confident in how everything would turn out once Brandi took over communication with the vendors and had nothing to worry about. Please book her! ❤️❤️❤️ More...

I was looking for a wedding planner so I did what anyone would do and googled wedding planner. Celebrations by Brandi came up through Bark. And that's how I was lucky enough to find Brandi! I am so happy I did! I interviewed a few different planners but my gut told me to go with Brandi. From the moment we spoke on the phone, I knew she would be a great fit for me. Brandi is genuine, kind, caring and always had a positive attitude. I was struggling trying to figure out where to start and how to plan an amazing wedding on a not so amazing budget. Brandi made it all happen and then some! I had another venue set and Brandi knew it wasn't exactly what I wanted. She then found me the most amazing venue. It was perfect. Exactly what I wanted. Brandi is very organized and easy to talk to. It was like talking to a friend. She took care of all the important details and always made sure I was sticking to my budget. Which is great because you get caught up in wanting it all for your wedding! Lol. She made an amazing sweet table for me, exactly how I envisioned it would be. I got so many compliments on it.

I am Jewish and during our interview I was hoping Brandi had planned a Jewish wedding before. But she had not. But she was willing to learn. She did a lot of research and found us an amazing rabbi, coordinated the chuppah and all the other important details. And she created an amazing Jewish wedding for us. We got so many compliments on how wonderful the ceremony was and the overall wedding!

I also had a issue with the table numbers that I didn't even know I did until I got to venue the day of my wedding. But Brandi fixed it all, so we didn't have to worry. She made sure everyone in our wedding knew what to do the day of and also made sure our family members were comfortable with their roles. She would constantly check in to make sure all was good and if there was a problem that came up she would always be there to help talk it through and problem solve. I can't say enough great things about Brandi. I am sad my day is over and I won't be talking to Brandi as often.

If you are looking to plan a wedding, I HIGHLY recommend Brandi. She is really the best. Your beautiful wedding vision will come to life. THANK YOU so much for making our wedding so special.

We had the absolute best experience with Brandi. She was very positive and patient with all of our requests throughout the planning process and during the days just prior to our wedding. She took on all the heavy lifting from scheduling, budgeting, coordinating with vendors, to even physically jumping in and helping the event workers clean up after the event! She is the most hands-on, attentive, sweet, and talented wedding planner and day-of coordinator. We couldn't have dreamed of anyone better to plan and coordinate our wedding day! We love Brandi! She truly over and exceeded our expectations. More...

Wedding Planning

Working with Brandi to plan my daughter's wedding was an absolutely wonderful experience from the very beginning to the absolute end. Brandi is exacting in every detail and thorough in researching all possibilities to meet the bride and groom's wishes while staying under budget. She was tasked with creating a "non-traditional" wedding in a traditional venue. From start to finish, Brandi was full of vision; as well as, patient, attentive, and diligent to create a wedding ceremony and reception that exceeded our expectations. The best review a wedding planner could receive were from the words of some of our guests,..."This is the best wedding I have ever been to!" Brandi, our family thanks you from the bottom of our hearts for such a memorable and happy day you created for our daughter and son-in-law. More...
