Like most who are planning their weddings, I was skeptical of any service I'd be using. Rosanna is easy to talk to and very responsive, relieving me of my worries. She was punctual upon arrival and patient working with me and my bridal party. I highly recommend Rosanna and assure you that she will make your wedding a positive experience.

Rosanna was such a wonderful officiant for my aunt's wedding. She is very professional and sweet…read more Before booking a date with her, she made sure to answer all of our questions and concerns. We were running a little late and asked to push it back an hour. She was flexible and even offered to lend a helping hand! Such a pleasure working with her. Update: My family needed an officiant on short notice and Rosanna popped into my mind. I emailed her and she made it happen without any hesitation. Again, she was extremely helpful and even gave us an idea of where to do an intimate photo shoot for the bride and groom. Love her energy and professionalism.

Tzo Ai was beyond amazing and I can't recommend her highly enough!…read more I am very organized and love planning things so my mom couldn't understand why I wanted to hire a planner -- but by the day of the wedding my mom was saying how she couldn't imagine how we could have done this without Tzo Ai! I hired Tzo Ai for month-of coordination and she exceeded my expectations in every way. She started working on my wedding a full two months out and she was extremely thorough, organized, calm and responsive. The day of the wedding was absolutely perfect! Everything was flawless and exactly as I'd imagined it. Tzo Ai made sure that everyone was running perfectly on schedule, so much so that we were actually AHEAD of schedule at times so we had room for extra photos! I cannot thank her enough for making our day so amazing!

My wife and I hired Tzo Ai for a month's worth of planning. During the time before the month…read morearrived, Tzo Ai was very responsive when we had questions and also was very helpful with ideas when we needed suggestions. Well before the month began, Tzo Ai sprang into action. A year prior to the wedding, she joined my wife for a walk-through of the venue. She also made sure to highlight important points that we needed to focus on in the months prior to the wedding. My wife is very organized, but Tzo Ai used her breadth of knowledge to take things to a higher level. Her attention to detail shined in the weeks leading up to the wedding. She kept us focused on all of the important details. A crucial aspect for us was how well she handled problematic vendors with ease. When our wedding day came, Tzo Ai and Lauren were a delight. I've been to several weddings where the coordinator was overbearing, which made the event laborious. Tzo Ai was calm, focused, and was always immediately responsive when we needed something. She even was able to quickly fix a family member's wardrobe malfunction. The event went so smoothly because of her excellence in management and coordination. We couldn't recommend her more highly.

Chelsea, Sarah and the entire Brilliant Events team had to be one of the best decisions we made…read moreduring wedding planning and I'm so happy we had them on board for the month of coordination! I had a relatively small wedding in the Hamptons and assumed early on that I could figure out most of the details myself. I quickly realized that nothing compares to having experts like them who know how to handle any last minute issue and have wealth of experience working with vendors/venues across NYC. Chelsea had great recommendations for vendors I neglected to look into earlier on in the process and was a huge help in making sure critical details, such as the rain plan, were worked out. Where the team really excels is making sure you do not deal with any stress on the day of the wedding and focus on having fun. I was so impressed with how professional, patient, kind and calming the entire team was. They made sure the bridal parties all were on schedule, vendor setups were done on time, food was set aside for my husband/I during cocktail hour, swapped out my heels when they saw I was in pain and even ran back to the house when we forgot our marriage license. These are just some of the little details the team took care of so we didn't have to worry about anything. They truly are your eyes and ears and it was such a relief knowing they got it handled. They truly love their jobs and their passion for what they do shines. Please do yourself a favor and hire Brilliant Events! I'm recommending them to all my friends for their weddings and events.

Chelsea single-handedly ensured that my wedding got off without a hitch and remained hassle and…read morestress-free throughout. Her team was absolutely fabulous, so kind, detailed-oriented, and they executed everything at the highest level. Admittedly, I hired Brilliant Event Planning at the 11th hour leading up to my wedding, right at the two month point when everything started to become overwhelming and all-consuming. Chelsea jumped right into action, handling most everything from that point forward. Hiring Brilliant Event Planning, and more specifically Chelsea and her team, was one of the best choices I made and I cannot recommend them highly enough.

I can't tell you what a joy it was to meet Rev. Samora and to have her do a wedding last minute…read more The officiant of the ceremony was unable to get licensed in NYC and we needed someone last minute to do a legal wedding. I knew the moment I heard her calm demeanor on the answering machine that she was the one! She was flexible, worked with us on the details and met us right away. She was unfazed by the rushing around we were doing and held space calmly and compassionately. She took charge in a gentle way, guiding us with great elegance. She did an impromptu ceremony with just four of us in attendance and was just lovely. We were honored to have her work with us. Thank you Rev. Samora for being the epitome of kindness and joy.

Rev. Samora is one of a kind!!…read more We met her at a wedding fair and hired her to be the officiant for our wedding in May/2019. We can hardly put everything in words: Her speeches, her voice tone, the way she made the ceremony so flowy and catchy, her effort, the perfect coordination with every detail we had in mind for our day, everything was just perfect. Most of our guests kept asking for how long had we met her for, since everybody thought we were close friends. Not to mention how she made absolute everyone there (grooms included) bawl out!! She is amazing and would recommend her for anyone looking for authenticity and warmth during the ceremony.

I've used other party planners before who were horrible (one hid…read morefrom my family's wedding party that the videographer never showed up and as a result the wedding had no video), and Marisa is truly a breath of fresh air compared to other planner's I've used in the past. Marisa gives personalized attention to every detail, she makes sure that your party is just the way you want, and you won't have to worry about anything going wrong. She was just wonderful, and I would absolutely recommend her. She made the entire party more enjoyable and less stressful for all of us. Unquestionably, I will be using her again for my younger daughter's wedding.

Hiring Shauna for our marriage ceremony was the worst decision and I do not recommend working with…read moreher. We decided to reschedule our wedding because of the pandemic, and when we started choosing new dates for a small "micro wedding", Shauna would not tell us if she was comfortable or not performing the ceremony. She left us completely in limbo. We asked Shauna to please let us know if she was uncomfortable performing the ceremony so we had time to find someone else. We understand that in August some people were still worried about the virus. She did not answer a single email closer to our wedding date. We were scrambling to find someone else in time. We also lost a $200 deposit. Her contract (that she and I both signed) says that if she does not perform the ceremony, she will find a replacement and the deposit will go toward the final cost. None of that happened and we lost our money. At one point she said that money went toward putting the ceremony together. I had a ceremony layout ready before I hired her. Cutting and pasting the vows I wrote myself in a Word document is not worth $200. We also paid a travel fee on top of that, and obviously she did not travel anywhere. Re-planning a wedding during a pandemic is hard enough, but when one of your vendors completely ignores all of your attempts to reach out to her, it makes the situation so much worse. Overall, Shauna is extremely unprofessional. My reason for writing this review is so nobody has to go through what Shauna put us through.

Both my husband and I highly recommend Shauna Kanter, Wedding Celebrant!…read more Shauna made our wedding day more than perfect and exceeded our expectations entirely. When my partner and I first met with her, we immediately felt a connection. It was as if we had known her for a long time. She gave us a fun assignment -- answering thoughtful questions about ourselves and our expectations of the big day. We had to fill the surveys out separately and not share our answers with each other. Then, Shauna wrote a beautiful ceremony, which we were able to read, edit, and review prior to the wedding. I should also mention that Shauna has a skillful way of nudging you to move towards the goal of the big day. If she needed us to share information in a timely way, she was proactive about getting in touch with us. Our wedding was unique, as we didn't have the blessing of my partner's family. They did not attend the ceremony. We both had some important conversations with Shauna about how to navigate this in the writing of the ceremony. We wanted to acknowledge my husband's parents and their contribution to his life but in a way to not highlight the drama of their absence. Shauna brought a lot of empathy and sensitivity to this task. In the end, we had a marvelous celebration with all the people who love us and our story, which Shauna told so personally. Evidently, Shauna is also a talented playwright and director. She founded her own theater company, VoiceTheatre. Her skill set in this area really pays off. She has professional knowledge of both how to write your story, but also how to stage it. After all, weddings are very theatrical events, and it's essential to have someone guiding you with these skills. She helped us coordinate the use of the outdoor lawn wedding space at Woolverton Inn, planning out all the details (order of the wedding party, music coordination, speaking volume of both grooms, etc.). After our wedding, many of our guests commented on what a wonderful job Shauna did. She was so joyous and happy for us and brought an enthusiasm to the event that made it very personal and warm. This is much, much, much more than a person standing their and having you say "I do" and "I do" before you sign the legal documents. Shauna takes lots of time to interview the couple, craft a personal and very professional ceremony, then delivers it with sincere feeling and joy. Thank you, Shauna, for making our day memorable and very personal.

My wedding was last Friday and it was a FAIRYTALE! People are messaging me left and right asking…read morewho our florist was, that was how much of an impression Reema's work left on our guests. To start off, Reema is the kindest, single most creative human being I have ever met. I am an over the top person with a huge imagination and she met it every step of the way. The florals brought me to tears and I can't stop looking at the pictures. Secondly, my husband did not get the point of florals until he walked into that room. For someone to take an old school Italian guy and get him to say holy shit, this is amazing I get it now, only Reema can do that. Last but not least, she is an amazing person. I can honestly say I have made a lifelong friend and pray that she doesn't retire before my daughter gets married 30 years from now because I wouldn't want anyone else doing her wedding. She and Jose made me feel special, loved, heard and understood through a pandemic, two postponements and a pregnancy and I wouldn't have wanted to go through it with anyone else. Jose can make me laugh for hours and Reema is my ride or die crazy soul sister in floral decor and I love them both. Thank you for making our wedding the best day of our lives. If you want your dream wedding, don't even think twice, they are the only team I would trust and I plan to have her do every event I ever have.
