There is no one in the world like Roey Mizrahi. We first hired Roey shortly after becoming engaged…read moreduring the winter of 2018, at the start of (what we thought would be) an 18-month lead up to our wedding. Little did we know, Roey would skillfully shepherd us through three years of pandemic related delays, vendor shuffles and other mishigas. At every turn, she kept us energized, positive and excited while also keeping us on track. Quite frankly, our wedding would not have been possible without her. She was the perfect curator, cheerleader and creative partner. Roey understood and expanded on our vision in countless thoughtful ways along the epic journey. She helped us source, communicate, and partner with a cadre of all-star vendors. Working seamlessly to interface between the two of us, our vendors and our venue. We lost track of how many calls, emails and design meetings we had over the years, but she brought the same level of kindness, patience and attention to every single conversation. When the weekend of our wedding finally arrived, Roey and her entire team made magic and moved mountains. The team brought a level of unprecedented professionalism and understated showmanship to every element of the fête. Roey's warm kindness kept us supported and smiling in the quiet moments between the big ones. Her inventive and collaborative approach to wedding planning is truly second-to-none. She is in a class of her own. We will be forever grateful for the truly special touch that Roey brought to the planning and execution of our favorite weekend of all time.

PLEASE save yourself a lot of time and trouble and look elsewhere. Our experience with Roey was…read moreextremely frustrating. Over the two months that we were in touch with her, Roey consistently failed to communicate in anything remotely resembling a timely manner, citing every excuse under the sun. Here are some examples: 1. It was her birthday so her texts were delayed (?) 2. Her e-mail wasn't receiving messages (3 times) 3. Her e-mail wasn't receiving OR delivering messages (2 times) 4. Her website was down 5. She "lost" my fiancee's e-mail 6. Her phone wasn't delivering text messages (4 times) 7. Her assistant was supposed to take care of it 8. She was at a funeral 9. She was unexpectedly having a root canal You will notice that not a single one of these excuses has anything to do with her professional career. We know that wedding planners are busy and had Roey told us she was working an event or was tied up in preparations for another wedding, that would have been 100% acceptable. However, while we are also extremely understanding of the occasional personal emergency and chalked it up to a fluke the first few (!) times Roey failed to get back to us for personal reasons, we quickly started to run out of patience. After a pretty constant battle on my fiancee's part and a lot of very delayed, long-winded, and rather bizarre "explanatory" e-mails in response, Roey ultimately provided us with zero usable vendors. Everything we booked while under contract with Roey, we found ourselves. Needless to say, we terminated said contract. On July 19th she agreed to refund our $2500 deposit. On August 14th, after five e-mails from my fiancée as well as several text messages, we still hadn't received our money back. Guess what? Her assistant was supposed to take care of it. THEN apparently fraud was detected on her account and she had to cancel the check. However, as soon as we began to file with small claims court, (with the support of our lawyer who wholeheartedly agreed that we had a cut and dry case) the check was immediately "in the mail and on its way," though it still didn't make it to us for another ten days, FIVE WEEKS after we initially asked for it back. Here's the thing: a wedding planner's primary job is to make your life easier. Roey will not do that. We switched to Starling on Bond and they have been ten thousand times more helpful in the two weeks we've been working with them than in the two months we wasted with Roey. Please save your money and your sanity and trust someone else with your big day!

We absolutely LOVED working with Teissia and Firefly Events!!!!…read more We have the Firefly Events ladies to thank for the most beautiful, seamless and perfect day in our lives! From the moment we hired Firefly, we felt not one ounce of stress or worry for our wedding day. Who knew wedding planning could be so fun? Teissia is the sweetest, most creative, talented and organized person and it genuinely shows through her amazing events. She was there every single step of the way from the concept and design of the wedding, helping us find amazing vendors, organizing and facilitating all vendor meetings, and providing us with professional guidance in a non-obtrusive and tasteful way. With my husband and I both working full time jobs with a full travel schedule, she made planning SO easy and stress free. Our wedding was absolutely stunning and flawlessly executed and it we owe it all to Teissia's dedication to ensure that we had and ENJOYED the wedding of our dreams. We received overwhelming compliments on not only the design details, but how smooth, elegant and effortless the wedding day was. It was the best decision we could have ever made to hire Firefly Events to plan our wedding and feel so lucky to have worked with them. Teissia we love you! - Brett and Anthony

First, we'd like to say thank you to the other Yelpers who gave Firefly such great reviews, because we actually found Firefly through Yelp! After only one meeting we knew Teissia was the perfect person to help plan and execute our destination wedding in Jamaica. It was confirmed that we had chosen the right person when we got to Jamaica 6 months before our wedding and she had set up a perfectly curated list of vendor meetings from thousands of miles away. Throughout the entire process she was organized, thoughtful, attentive and very flexible. She went above and beyond and we definitely could have done it without her. She dealt with all of the vendors, language barriers, family and logistic issues with grace. Not to mention she was extremely pleasant to be around. We felt like we were planning our wedding with a friend. In short she made the experience of planning our wedding really enjoyable. The day of the actual wedding day went perfect and she completely shielded us from all the craziness that happens on that day so our families and us could completely focus on this celebration of our love. Thank you again Teissia, you are INCREDIBLE.

We had Annie in charge of our wedding planning and OH MY GOSH were we happy we used them!!…read moreEverything was super well organized... I felt very at ease, as she kept the wedding on schedule, and was just an amazing lady overall to work with!!! She even helped me with my wedding dress malfunction (zipper zipped OFF the dress-- seamstress forgot to put a zipper stop)... and pinned me into my dress like a pro!!! I wish we had more money to hire her for the 8 hour package instead of the 5 hour, as soon as she left, you could tell the coordination kinda fell apart ... but it was near the end of the wedding so i guess it was ok !!! lol but she was super awesome, super experienced, and very comforting to work with someone who knew what to do, and didn't react weird to our strange requests! :) I HIGHLY recommended this wedding coordination service. AMAZING experience.

My fiancé and I were completely overwhelmed when we first started planning our wedding, trying to…read morebalance what we envisioned with the expectations of our families. As soon as we decided to use Christine as our wedding planner, we started to enjoy the process a lot more. She is warm, funny, extremely organized, responsive to our emails, and has advice for everything! She was able to help me navigate everything from family politics to deciphering what type of flower I was trying to describe. A few weeks before the wedding, we had a total meltdown over the budget and Christine jumped into action. She calmed us down, helped us understand what happened, and never once made us feel like we were being unreasonable (though, we probably would have deserved it). For our wedding day, we had Tara as our wedding coordinator and we absolutely adored her. She checked in a few days before the wedding and the morning of to see how I was doing and even went out of her way to bring me a copy of the New York Times so we could photograph our wedding announcement. She did a really good job of reminding us not to worry about the small details and just to go with the flow of the day. We had comments from our family and wedding guests that "the people running our event" did a really good job because the day flowed perfectly. I really appreciated her calm and positive energy throughout the day. I have no idea whether anything went wrong on our wedding day because she literally took care of everything. Throughout the entire wedding planning process, we had many vendors tell us, completely unsolicited, that Christine, Tara and the EAP team are the best in the business in NYC. It's one thing for brides to love their wedding planners, but I think that the vendors opinions speak volumes since they see the "behind the scenes" truth. Having the EAP team help you plan your wedding is certainly one of the best decisions any couple can make, no matter where they are in the wedding planning process.

(Indian weddings are exactly a one day affair) She was glued to the hip with me came to look at the venue, coordinated with my decorator, photographer, videographer, makeup artist, the bridesmaids, groomsmen, flower girl(s) everything she laid out was absolutely impeccable - I am a very hard critic and I can honestly say my entire experience wouldn't have been what it was if it wasn't for Eliana. I did not have to worry about a thing! She was reponsive in getting back if I asked for anything, she went out to look for props for me for different events, found the best deals she could, and most importantly followed up! She managed the bridal party so well - I was pleasantly suprised how good we were with the schedule on the big day. Me and husband were so glad we had the pleasure of working with Eliana!!!

We live in the United States and had our wedding in the Eastern Townships of Quebec. She helped us navigate and coordinate booking and planning everything. She recommended some of her vendors which were excellent (lighting was Amazing! Flowers breath taking! Etc.) And she also worked very well with the others that we had selected (photographer and videographer). She even flew to Montreal for uto go look at and test different table set ups and sent multiple photos to me since I couldn't be there. She understood our vision, and made excellent recommendations. I trusted her and am happy we did. She was also a good friend through this process. Many times did she call to check in on our progress, and it felt like she was simply calling to say hi and settle my anxiety and answer questions. Is wedding planning easy and smooth? Of course not! But she clearly knows what she is doing and helped us achieve the wedding of our dreams. Our family and friends have all told us that this was the most beautiful wedding they ever saw.

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.
