The planners, Erin and Starr, were so professional and concerned about the needs of us which was so great that we got in touch with the best vendors that literally went out of their way. The caterer Jeffrey Miller Hospitality impressed us and our guests by their splendid professionalism and outstanding cuisine. With prompt service to paying little to no attention to special dietary needs, their staff made sure that you got the best, and the best was served with charm (and no doubt, with a tip or two). Our guests can rave all over the wonderful food and perfect appearance! The florist, Perkasie Florist shocked with the amazing sets that suited the theme precisely. In addition to their luxurious flower arrangements, their crew was extremely accommodating, and came to work very early to fix and set up and was very able to compromise and make changes to their arrangements last minute and kept everything stress free. Asya Photography our photographer was easygoing, polite, and discrete all though out the day and she took breathtaking photographs based upon which our actual story is manifested. They made group photos run easily and they managed to make people natural and happy and it actually comes out of the photos (natural looking and happy faces). Inn Keeper Marina was absolute treasure, she was endlessly considerate and brilliantly welcoming, and as a result, the weekend was a great experience with no one feeling unloved or unwelcome. In general, professionism, reliability and true care of all vendors recommended and organized by Erin and Starr make it a smooth and blissful experience with our friends and family. We could not ask anything better organizing our special day: the team and the venue were too good!

We're about a month out from our wedding, and we're so excited about the venue we booked! It's the…read moreperfect compromise for us and our families--there's a stunning natural setting outside for our ceremony, which was super important to us. The inn itself has all the modern touches we love and the convenience of hosting our closest family and friends after the wedding. The ballroom is spacious, clean, and simply beautiful, perfect for our night of dancing. The Lake House Inn truly feels like the best of both worlds, and we can't wait to get married there soon!

I've known Rachael previously before she started her company and when I heard she was starting this…read morebusiness, I was thrilled! I work as an Events Rental Director at a local art center and we host loads of weddings. Rachael is super organized, funny, calm, creative, and a great problem solver.

I truly feel like every bride needs an event planner in their life and Rachael is someone I confidently and highly recommend!

We could not have done this spectacular birthday party for our daughter without Rachael! We had a…read morefabulous at 14 birthday party for our daughter Emma at the Goggleworks in Reading. Our daughter wanted to have a "teen nightclub" themed dance party for her 14th birthday! At that age it's really challenging to find a venue for a great party that is safe and supervised, but also, crazy fun! Rachael helped us put together a party that was the "talk of the school" event! Everyone was buzzing about this party! Rachael, with the help of some other fantastic companies, like LEO party rentals, and BELLY caterers put together a very reasonably priced and very trendy dance party for Emma and her friends. It was so easy to plan, and even easier to sit back and enjoy the kids having a fantastic time! We couldn't have planned this terrific event without her! Rachael helped us coordinate with everyone. She sat down with me to brainstorm many times before the party, and took care of everything. The tiniest of details were covered! All of the event was kept within a very reasonable budget! We would also like to send a thank you out to the Goggleworks for their terrific, and very trendy "loft" like room, for the party location. The dj " DJ JG" John Gosselin was also a fantastic addition to the party! He knew exactly what music the kids wanted to hear. Everyone danced the entire night! Thank you Rachael for making this night so memorable for Emma, and us too! If your thinking of planning a party for your teenage daughter you should contact Rachael! She will really impress you!

I could have not have planned my wedding and remain sane without Lisa. I had a tented backyard farm…read morewedding, so we needed to do everything down to extension cords! Had no idea of all the details and if you miss one, it could really throw off your day. Lisa thought of everything and was so incredibly organized. Her spread sheets and check lists kept everything running smoothly. When I did feel overwhelmed, one call with Lisa calmed me. The day ran smoothly and Lisa was there to make sure it did. As things did come up (and they did) she handled them without me even knowing. I did not have to speak to one vendor or deal with anything on my wedding day and that's worth everything!

From start to…read morefinish, Danielle demonstrated an exceptional blend of detail-oriented organization, professionalism, friendliness, and deep industry knowledge that made our wedding experience truly unforgettable. Danielle is incredibly organized and professional; no element of our wedding was overlooked. In the planning process, she guided us with a detailed schedule of the tasks that we needed to complete, which was perfect to help us figure out everything that we needed to do and when. She also introduced us to a "dream team" of vendors that made our wedding unforgettable. On the day of the wedding, Danielle and her team kept everything on-time and running smoothly. Their handling of the logistics of the wedding allowed us to focus our attention on each other and our guests. Do yourself a favor and hire Danielle! She has a wealth of experience and expertise, which was evident in the seamless execution of our wedding day. And check out her awesome podcast.

We contacted Danielle by email to inquire about coordinating our wedding event. After several emails over the course of a 1 day. Danielle decided that we were not a good fit and referred us to another company. We never had the chance to speak with her directly, before she made this decision. She claimed that we responded in 1 sentence responses and because of that we were not a good fit. After being on her website we were excited at the possibility of working with her. We responded to her emails during our work hours and provided answers to questions asked. Very Very dissappointed and not a good start to our wedding process. Stress! Hopefully other wedding and event planners aren't so fickle.

I had stumbled across My Bellissima's website one afternoon while I was looking at bridal stuff on…read morethe internet, before I was even engaged. I bookmarked their site and knew the minute I was engaged I would be contacting them. Months later I was finally engaged and My Bellissima was my next phone call. When I met Kara and Laura, I was just in awe of them. They are the ying and the yang of each other. They can finish each other's sentences and they made me feel very comfortable. I was sitting in their office screaming inside saying OMG they are perfect for the job!!! It was a match made in bridal heaven. I am a very controlling person and I was afraid to let someone else take the reins but with them I knew it was all going to be fabulous and extraordinary. I trusted them immediately with it all. The service they offer is top notch and we got exactly what we paid for and more. My Husband was just as involved in the planning process as I was and he could not thank them enough for all they did. We followed all their instructions about when we needed things accomplished and it was a breeze. They were there with us every step of the way. I had the most wonderful, unstressful year of planning a wedding. I think back now and know I could not have done this without them. They kept us on our wedding budget by moving our numbers around so we could have every single thing on our wedding wish list. They have the best connections in the wedding industry and they hooked us up with some amazing, outta this world vendors that understood our style. My Bellissima's attention to detail from the stationary (save the dates, wedding invitations, day of stationary), welcome boxes, favors, centerpieces and table linens to our amazing cake was executed beautifully with extra details I didn't even know could exist. It told our story and that is the best thing about these two Ladies.. they tell your story. Each and every wedding they do is special and one of a kind. That's the service you will be getting when you hire My Bellissima. Our wedding day was beyond amazing - beyond fantastic. We walked into our ballroom and it said it all. I was literally in tears. I could not believe what I was seeing was our wedding. They had accomplished exactly what we wanted, that WOW wedding from the purple tones, glam and romantic, over the top with fireworks (literally) and of course, BLING. Words can never express how wonderful and amazing these gals are but hire them and you will be one happy bride. 5 stars is not enough for them. I would give them the whole universe! Love, Linda & Nick!

REVIEW: Hire this man! Planning a wedding during a pandemic is not for the faint of heart. My wife…read moreand I are super-type A - want to be in control and enjoy the art of planning. For a while we were like nah, we don't need a planner we got this. And we did! The problem came when the execution of the wedding itself came into play. Who would cue the entrance, who would manage the vendors, who would guide the guest transitions, who would check the audio, who would make sure the cake topper made it to the cake, who would make sure our card box got back to us safe and sound? After seeing Alejandro in action it's truly terrifying to think that we were even considering not having a same day coordinator. And let me tell you ... we picked the best of the best! I mean, seriously go to this guy's reviews and IG photos. It's obvious we are not the only ones who share our love of this man and his wedding coordination/planning skills. He was organized, positive, fun (!), and very obviously knew what he was doing. Alejandro and Sparkle Events felt like a friend or a family member who cared as much as we did about having the best wedding ever. Sometimes we'd be like ... let's do this! And he'd be like, I like that but here are some things to think about based on what I've seen. (SO HELPFUL!) He'd listen to our ideas and always try to make it work. He made our day so special. We couldn't have done it without him. Five stars. A+. If you are considering another wedding planner or same day wedding coordinator your search is over. Alejandro wins everything. Hire him. You won't regret it!

I've had the extreme pleasure of having Evenings of Elegance plan and manage my day-of coordination…read morefor my wedding at the Loeb Central Park Boathouse in NYC in August 2013. Dharmi is an extremely detail oriented planner who was always there at all hours via text message, email and phone call away to answer any of my questions and to provide me with the attention and assurance I needed to ensure everything would run smoothly and care free on the day of my wedding. My wedding day was absolutely perfect in every way and I could not have asked for anything more. She was amazing during the rehearsal the day before to get everyone in line and she's awesome with kids and got them (ages 3 and 5) to listen and understand their roles as ring bearer and flower girl. I highly recommend her to in trust her to guide and manage one of the most important days of your life!!

Dealt with Evenings of Elegance in planning my wedding (for day-of coordination)…read more Wedding planners are usually hired in order to make the bride's life less stressful; however, Evenings of Elegance only made my life more stressful! Not a good listener, not very strong vendor relationships, and not very experienced. She was the only one of my vendors that I had any issues with, and she was also the only vendor that was hired exclusively to provide the service of being helpful to the bride! She was very sweet at first, and gave a nice pitch, but then when it came down to providing services to her client (me), she fell short. She didn't listen very well so vendor recs were off the mark; she kept trying to pitch me additional services, even when she wasn't doing what she was hired for well, and I hated feeling like she was just trying to squeeze more $ out of me; and she made it clear to me that my wedding and my business were not important to her (ie by not reaching out to my venue to learn about its layout, by not providing me a sample itinerary when i asked for it, by refusing to meet before my event to go over details, etc.). Compared to the services my other friends got from their planners, Evenings of Elegance seemed more concerned with their own image than my bridal experience. If you are looking for a wedding planner, there are a lot of them out there so I would suggest you keep looking - and don't get caught up by the hard sell (which is the mistake that I made). If you are at all detail oriented, have hopes of hosting a classy and upscale event, and/or are looking for a planner that will support you and make your life easier, I would recommend looking elsewhere. This planner cares more about marketing and sales than she does about following through and providing proper client service or doing the right thing for her clients. Pricing is seemingly low at first (before add'l fees are tacked on) - but I guess you get what you pay for.
