They really cared about making everything go off as smoothly as possible. I arrived at the venue at 7AM in pouring rain on the morning of our (entirely outdoor) wedding, and Tamara was there dressed in full rain gear with beach towels in hand ready to dry off the ceremony chairs. Just goes to show how committed she was to making the day a success. She paid attention to every detail and made sure the guests had everything they needed. Tamara has strong relationships with island vendors and is super creative when it comes to potential problems that may arise. We had such an incredible day and could not have done with without the amazingly talented La Rock team!!

It was many of these ideas that made our wedding unique and memorable. We can't imagine what our wedding day would have been like without La Rock Events in control. To wake up the day of your wedding and trust that everything would be taken care of was beyond relieving. I would recommend La Rock Events to anyone that is looking for great planner for any occasion. We plan on using La Rock Events for more events in the future. Thank you Tamara, after all your hard work you really feel like a best friend!

My Fiancé and I got engaged last December 2013. At that time of year it seems like months and…read moremonths until you get to put your swimsuit on and head to the beach. In wedding world that is practically tomorrow. Especially on Nantucket where travel an be difficult, and outside vendors aren't as easily swayed to get to the island. A summer or fall wedding would seem out of the picture with a 7 or 8 month lead, but thanks to Nantucket Island Events, I was able create the exact wedding that my Fiancé and I wanted and wouldn't have even dreamt about and I will say they absolutely delivered. I met Maureen while booking my venue as she is in charge of booking all events at The Galley. I had always dreamed of having for my big day there with a tent wedding since I was in my teens. After speaking with Maureen and Maggie regarding the venue, I knew I wanted to hire them as a full on wedding planning team. I had ever heard from friends that now live in Boston that Maggie and Maureen were, "the best of the best." Just knowing that they are able to communicate with my family and give them every piece of information that they would need to know was a huge weight off my shoulder. With the help of Nantucket Island Events, my Fiancé and I were able to have not only our perfect wedding, but it was beyond what I could have even imagined. Maggie really became more than a wedding planner to me, she became a friend and someone I trusted and went to in any situation leading up to the wedding. She really went to bat for me to try and get everything that she knew would make our special day that much better. I feel like I really owe Maggie's amazing managerial skills, without being too overbearing or overwhelming to making our wedding day the absolute best it could ever be. My entire family was blown away by how everything unfolded and our entire wedding party took a liking to Maggie and her "get stuff done in an elegant manner" ways. As sad as I was to have my wedding end, I knew that without Maggie and Maureen I would never be able to relive that day as magnificent and magical as it was. If anyone is looking for a wedding planner on Nantucket, I would recommend Nantucket Island Events without the slightest doubt in my mind. They truly are the best of the best.

Nothing is left to chance with these two and every event I have worked with them, be it a wedding, corporate junket or non profit fundraiser has been executed with the up most professionalism and attention to detail.

This is the worst woman I have ever met in my life. She robbed me of my deposit despite the fact…read moreshe didn't do anything besides google things. I had to hire another planner who did the job in 3 weeks. I hired Veronica in May for my baby's birthday and 7 months later still nothing was done and she refused to give me back my money. She then texted me extremely threatening texts almost 3 months after my event to remove my one star review or she will sue me. She would then block me and then unblock me and continue to send threatening messages. This woman wants to keep her shady business practice behind wraps. She also threatened me about someone else leaving her a bad review. Her google reviews are mainly all one star reviews. She is the worst thing to ever happen to me. I wish I contacted the other party planning business before I came into contact with this evil person. I have included screen shots of her harassment. I have informed the police department and will take all legal measures should she continue to threaten and harass me. Her number is listed to show you she is the evil person behind these texts. Oh and she kept my money and did no work for what I paid her for. Keep that in mind. Google her. There is nothing but bad things written about her all over the internet let alone her google reviews. I should have read about all her unhappy customers and negative articles written To Veronica's comment: YOU are an absolute liar. I don't need to speak on whatever crap you're saying because a simple search of your google reviews will show all of the horrible reviews you have. If you google "blue ivy and Beyoncé" you can see articles of Beyoncé asking for a restraining order against this awful woman. Poor excuse for a human being! Literally everything she wrote in her response to my comment is a lie and don't entertain her BS! One simple google search will SHOW all her unhappy customers dating back YEARS!

Being in the wedding industry myself, I am extremely picky about who to entrust on our big day. Having a wealth of contacts to plan our own wedding, we undoubtedly knew Veronica was THE ONE for us! From our first interview with her she was on point, meticulous and had a back up plan for our "back up plan". She listened to our needs and wedding vision, kept me motivated and on time with my checklists and truly "got it". From day one I conveyed to her that we were looking for a "bulldog" day of coordinator/Superwoman that could handle a large wedding party (11 bridesmaids and 5 groomsmen), large family, out of towner guests and whatever drama might enfold. I wanted someone as detailed as I am, if not more but who truly cares and understands the entire process. We found all that in Veronica, and then some! Her attention to detail is above and beyond. She has her templates, checklists and timelines down to a science. The day of our wedding went off without a hitch (at least that I am aware of). That's what I call a GREAT day of coordinator. I was never concerned or bothered by things that came up because it was fixed before I even knew about it. She was there for us until the very end which was 1:00 AM and was so attentive and checked in on us often!! LOVE that! By the way, she's so much fun and had a blast singing/dancing along with her and our FAB DJ. Our family and friends fell in love with her as well, that I almost forgot she was my planner. :) In a good way that is. She was extremely professional but was so down to earth, she was like family. She's a friend for life!! I highly recommend her and her team. In conclusion: Do yourself a favor, stop looking and call Veronica for your big day!

The pastries here are on par with some of NYC's best. We couldn't quite do a side-by-side…read morecomparison of plain croissants with our NYC favorites, since only almond and ham + cheese croissants were available -- and I suspect that island humidity makes it nigh near impossible to offer that perfectly crisp-tender, layered product for more than five minutes out of the oven. But... what we tried two days in a row were utterly gorgeous, beautifully risen, beautifully layered, redolent with butter, generously stuffed with fillings. The ham and cheese version had a touch of Dijon mustard, I believe, with a light sprinkle of sea salt atop (possibly flavored, but it was hard to tell from the smidgen I was able to wrest from my children). Almond croissant came generously filled with a lovely and not overly heavy marzipan based filling. The lemon meringue cruffin we sampled was perfect in texture, a decadent brunch treat that fueled a lot of ambling around town with friends and a few hours at the beach on top of that. Despite our wet napkin attacks, bits of that meringue decorated the children's faces for hours. The cheesecakes -- delicately bejeweled with edible violets and fruit -- deserve a call-out for their extravagant beauty. If we'd had hands free + reasonably quick access to a fridge after purchase on either day, I'd have walked away with one. Or three. Whoever the baker(s) is/are here mean(s) serious business. I can throw together reasonably edible cookies, brownies, and tarts. But the croissant + laminated pastry making classes I took at the French Culinary Institute (now International Culinary Institute) once upon a time leave me in no doubt that I lack the patience or skill to make these kinds of things -- and I live in awe of those who do, and do it so beautifully. I understand that PPX Events is primarily a catering company. How lucky we are that this side of the operation is available to the average Jane pedestrian as well! P.S. The counterperson who was there on both Saturday and Sunday was awfully nice.
