We cannot say enough amazing things about Cait and the Modern Rebel team. From the very beginning…read more-- nearly a year ago -- Cait was nothing short of incredible. She didn't just help us plan a wedding; she helped us discover and articulate our vision, and that vision became the anchor for every decision along the way. She guided us through every step -- from identifying vendors who aligned with both our aesthetic and our personalities, to navigating contracts, timelines, and logistics with ease and expertise. She balanced grace and accountability so beautifully: offering patience when we slipped behind, but also gently keeping us on track so that nothing was left to the last minute. She was never just a planner; she was a partner, a sounding board, and a calm, grounding presence in the whirlwind of planning. We had some bold and unconventional ideas, and Cait didn't just support them -- she helped bring them to life in ways we couldn't have imagined. Her thoughtful guidance, creativity, and steady reassurance made the entire year of planning feel not just manageable, but meaningful. On the wedding day, when we walked into the venue before the event began, we were completely overwhelmed with emotion. Everything was beyond anything we had imagined -- truly picture perfect. Every detail felt intentional, deeply personal, and flawlessly executed. Her seamless partnership with our day-of coordinator turned our dreams into our dream wedding. Cait is warm, thoughtful, visionary, and impeccably organized. Thanks to her, our wedding wasn't just beautiful -- it was authentically us. It was perfect. We are forever grateful.

Top Takeaway: Our wedding day would not have been as particularly and perfectly us without Cait and…read moreChelsea at Modern Rebel. They took seriously our devotion to blending our families' cultures and history into the aesthetic and spirit of the day, and they found vendors who not only respected but celebrated that commitment in their own professional expertise and expert execution. Prep Process: Cait and Chelsea paced the wedding planning process so that we had enough time to consider every tiny detail without every choice being overwhelming. Their onboarding process ensures that every element is covered, including details we never even knew to consider. They developed a Trello workspace that mapped out every month, every task, and every question we would cover over the course of a year. Every time we had a question about the next step, Cait already had a spreadsheet, questionnaire, or form prepared to document and structure our next move. Investment and Value: The overwhelming abundance of wedding vendors is the biggest reason we sought a wedding planner. We needed a partner and a guide to interpret our desires and connect us with the best professionals who would not only align with but celebrate and enhance the vision for our wedding. Cait and Chelsea overdelivered. Their vendor matching process was thorough, considerate, creative, and responsive. From deep experience, they know who will really connect with you. It's not just a simple vibe match, it's finding people with an artistic practice that resonates with you - photographers, florists, musicians, stylists, stationers - and they understand how to take the amorphous desires of completely green people and translate them into concrete asks. They built an experience that was more than the sum of its parts. Creativity: Cait and Chelsea treated every out-of-left-field idea seriously and saw a way to add it to our vision while staying true to our mantra: warm, thoughtful, and cohesive. We joked about, among other things, a sweetheart bench instead of chairs for our table; an art installation that captured the "invisible strings of love" instead of a guest book; to incorporate bingo into our escort cards; to project a video on a massive wall for our grand entrance. In Cait and Chelsea's hands, every small wish became a reality. They took us seriously, asked "Why not?", and they made it happen in grander fashion than we could've fathomed.

When we met with Terrian the connection was immediate. Even my husband liked her and he's a tougher critic than me! Throughout the planning process she morphed from a planner to a friend talking me off the ledge when needed and giving me a dose of reality when my visions got bigger than our pockets! However, my vision was executed beautifully and Terrian was also very creative with her ideas - we made a great team! From the rehearsal dinner to the ceremony and reception, people cannot stop talking about this wedding, the details and how magical it was. I highly recommend Terrian and her team!

Choosing Dulce Dreams as my wedding planning service was hands down THE BEST decision I made…read moreregarding my wedding. From the start to finish, Dulce Dreams went above and beyond to meet my every desire as a bride. From vendor meetings, to suggestions on decor elements and such, I always felt like I had a valuable resource at my side. I truly appreciated Dulce Dreams for their professionalism and flawless execution of my wedding day. It was quite simply- flawless. The wedding planner Ashley made me feel so comfortable from the start and I felt like she truly took time to listen and see through my vision. It came to a point where it felt like Ashley knew more about my wedding than I did. Every minor little detail was handled and addressed. I can't thank Dulce Dreams enough. You will thank your lucky stars if you choose to work with this vendor.

At first I had a very stressful time looking for a wedding planner. Planning a wedding is…read morestressful, spending more money than you have ever spent on a single day is overwhelming! I didn't know exactly what a wedding planner did or if I needed one. Trust me you need a wedding planner especially Ashley! My husband and I refer to her as our angel, she made every stressful moment melt away. Ashley basically choreographs the evening from beginning to end, she makes sure everything gets delivered on time, staff is present, wedding favors, decorations, guestbook, polaroid cameras everything is accounted for. She makes sure the place settings are perfect that all name tags are in the right spot at the right table, that my husband and I are comfortable the entire night and that guests have everything they need. What doesn't she do? She starts planning with you months in advance, she gave us a timeline with due dates so we knew what we needed to be accountable for, I loved this. On your wedding day she is the first one there and the last one to leave making sure everything gets broken down swept up and left cleaner than you found it. I was so nervous the day of my wedding I forgot to bring my vows she had them printed on site. She was available at all times throughout the planning process. I was late in the game to find a dress and she came with me so I didn't have to go alone. We were in the heart of Brooklyn running around in the rain and we found my dream dress. I can't say enough great things about her, she is just a real down to earth hard working woman who is smart, sweet, and the kind of person you want to have at your side when you want your day to be perfect. She is very organized, has a great understanding of where to go based on the style of dress you're looking for, has great recommendations for veils, flowers, music, photography, really anything you need. A few times I was worried about sticking within my budget and she was very helpful to research with me in order to stick to that. Our wedding was non-traditional and she was perfectly in line with whatever we wanted to do. She encouraged us to make the day 100% about us, which really helped in the decision making process. After all was said and done I gained a friend from the whole experience. I would highly recommend Ashley to anyone that wants to work with someone that has complete devotion and passion for what they do. She is the best, hurry up and book her...I promise every decision you make after that will be a piece of cake.

From the beginning, they asked thoughtful questions to understand our needs and wants better, took thorough notes, and many months later recalled and referenced even the smallest details that we had mentioned at our first meeting. They laid out timelines, kept track of contracts and budgets, the gave us a heads up on what we would be tackling next and when. I felt confident everything would come together at all times. There was never a frantic moment in the planning process. They knocked every vendor recommendation out of the park and never pushed us in any one direction and brought an element of calming reassurance to the whole process. They made everything so stress-free, and I felt like we were in such good hands the whole way through but especially on the day itself where they were both so present, calm, and helpful. I know people always say that something will go wrong on your wedding day and to just let go, but thanks to TKE I can honestly say nothing went wrong!

I was literally a month away from my wedding day (May 28th, 2016) with nothing done when I got in contact with Shafon of Jumping the Broom Weddings. She swooped in and saved my life! The morning after my first contact with her she had already compiled an email with vendors, detailed information and decisions that needed to be made immediately. After that she was constantly working on planning my wedding. She understood that my big day was a month away but school was my priority. She did just about everything leaving only the "this or that" decisions for me to make. I feel like I got to focus on my thesis while still getting the opportunity to enjoy being a bride. She was so great about making sure every single little detail was thought of and covered. Furthermore, she understood that I was on a tight budget so she did everything she could to get me the lowest prices for services and products needed. Her sweet demeanor was exactly what every bride needs during such a stressful time while her diligence is absolutely necessary to get the job done. Her work ethic and dedication to making sure my big day was special was priceless. My wedding day exceeded all of my expectations and it would definitely not have happened without her. She truly went above and beyond and her part in this vital time in our lives will never be forgotten! I can whole heartedly assure you that you are in great hands and will not regret your decision to hire Jumping the Broom Weddings to plan your wedding or whatever event your planning.
