Adrienne and Elizabeth are seriously the BEST wedding planners in all of New England and more!…read moreHiring them as wedding planners was one of the best decisions I've ever made, and really made wedding planning a breeze. So many of my friends would often ask, "How is wedding planning going?" And I'd say, "I'm not doing much!" and that's really what it is like to work with wedding planners. I know it is a splurge, but if you're super super busy, have a lot of things to deal with, are planning from a distance, I cannot imagine planning without wedding planners. Here's what the process worked like for me: 1) During the initial set up, Adrienne and Elizabeth went over with me all of the things we had to do during the course of wedding planning - which vendors to book, approximate milestones, etc. 2) I shared with them my vision for what I wanted my wedding to look like - black and white with touches of pink, and they really helped affirm a lot of my ideas! They even came up with the really really unique idea of having a black and white dance floor, which I didn't know was possible. It was a great and unique touch to my wedding 3) GLE took care of all the contracts and back and forth with various vendors, which helped cut down on time on my end. They also found this great hidden gem of a venue for me that fit my vision - a grass field with trees, and a spot to have a tented wedding. I would NEVER had found this venue by searching on my own as they're not frequently advertised in wedding magazines or in blogs. I was also planning long distance - from New York, NY, and couldn't be onsite to visit vendors as often, so I relied on GLE to handle a lot of the Boston-side things. 4) They're always around to answer some of the questions that as a bride you just don't know the answer to! Like... how much are you supposed to tip everyone? How many hotel room blocks should I be holding? 5) They did so many last minute things like... pick up a bunch of candy jars for me for my candy buffet, set up my escort card display, help me with my veil, inflate helium balloons and set them up at the entrance to my wedding ceremony, clean up 6) They also attended my tasting with my caterer (YUMMY) and helped handle several last minute issues that happened along the way of wedding planning. These things always happen! And if it weren't for GLE, I would have had a much harder time figuring out how to troubleshoot things. I had a BLAST at my wedding - I wasn't running around trying to take care of things. On the day of everything that was under our control ran so smoothly (let's face it, you can't control the weather or a guest arriving late - but man, I had a perfect day). I had so much fun I slept so soundly the day after ;) I can't recommend them enough, and I've had several friends of mine use GLE as well for their wedding planners. I'm so happy to have them as my friends, and I would never hesitate to recommend them to anyone that is looking for a fantastic set of wedding planners!

That's when I knew we were going to be an unstoppable team! One of the best decisions I made during the whole wedding process was hiring a wedding planner. I knew I had to have some help given my tall order of must haves. From dress appointments, invitations, music lists, venue appoitments - you name it and she was there. Helping me, guiding me and most importantly making sure that I was on budget, on schedule and excited about the entire process. She knew exactly what my vision was even when I'm sure I wasn't explaining it very well, haha. She had amazing design recommendations, helped contact vendors, and was great on offering ideas to save money! I wanted my wedding to be unique and she was great in achieving that. She made my life SO easy and I couldn't imaging doing all of that work by myself! People approached me the week before and day of the wedding and said that I didn't look stressed at all...I wasn't! I knew everything would turn out perfect and stress free because I had Erica. I enjoyed every second of our day:) I have attended weddings since then that did not have a wedding coordinator and I just thought to my self, "I am so thankful that I had Erica!" Months after, we are still receiving so many compliments on our wedding and I know it wouldn't have gone as smoothly or beautifully without her.

On the three occasions that I've been to an event produced by Two Birds Events, I was VERY…read moreimpressed by two key things: 1) Their principal planner, Erica, has VERY good taste in all things. What first come to mind are her spot-on good taste in cocktails, unique and tasty appetizers, and themed elements/themed pairings of drinks and food. The event's theme or themes are visible in the choices of food, drink and decorations, and the event becomes more memorable as a result. 2) Every detail is well thought-out, from the event schedule to the placement of food and drink and seating. I've never once had the feeling at an engagement planned by Two Birds Events that the room was too stuffy or too empty. There is always the appropriate amount of people, food, beverages, music volume, lighting, et cetera. It's rare to leave an event without a single complaint, but I've left their events feeling that they were flawless every single time. Two Birds Events is a planning firm that I would trust to plan an event from start to finish, and I wouldn't have to worry about one single detail. I wouldn't feel the need to micromanage because everything is thought about and planned for beforehand. That ability to delegate and have faith in one's planner is exceedingly rare, and Two Birds Events deserved applause for providing this kind of peace of mind, as it is exceedingly rare in the hyper-stressful, detail-oriented business of event planning. If you want your event to be flawless and stress-free, you know who to call.

Mandy was amazing. I had her as a day-of planner, and from the first day we spoke she was so…read morehelpful. We had a 20 minute conversation before even booking, where she asked a bunch of questions to get an idea of my plan so far, and even provided some pointers before any money was exchanged or anything was booked. Before the wedding we communicated regularly, and she provided a detailed timeline I could share with my vendors. I strongly recommend doing a site walk through with her as well. It was so worth it. She emailed with my vendors also the week prior to my wedding for last minute planning and coordination, which took so much weight off my shoulders. It was so nice to know she had everything under control, so all I had to worry about on the day of my wedding was getting ready. She is genuinely kind, outgoing, professional, and incredibly organized, and on the day of the wedding interacted with my family and got to know by dad a little bit, which was meaningful to me. You can tell she cares a lot about making your big day run smooth after all your hard work in planning. Highly recommend! Thank you, Mandy!

We wanted our wedding to feel light and effortless, and not put too much pressure on our wedding party or parents to do any heavy lifting. With Mandy on our team, my husband and I were able to focus on the big-picture. Through her timelines, emails, and phone calls, she helped us keep track of all our vendors and not worry about the little details that always come together day-of. We are so grateful to have worked with her - she handled our wedding day beautifully, keeping us calm through the hiccups, on task and excited for those wedding day obligations, and managed our guests and vendors exceptionally. Thank you, Mandy!

Prompt in returning calls/emails and more than willing to accommodate our last minute/odd timing change of plans nuptials. Her website is easily navigated, lists her pricing and info, and also has pictures of other couples she had married. She was warm and reassuring and instantly made us feel like we had known her for years. Upon speaking with her over the phone (we emailed in the morning, got a return response in the afternoon, and we were speaking on the phone by the evening) she understood our plans and emailed us over some vows. We opted to go with the vows she initially sent us, lots about promising to keep love and laughter in our house and another set of "we" vows that we opted to recite as well, as it was important to us to include my husbands son in the ceremony. She offered to send us an unlimited amount of vow options, it just so happened that the first round of what we read were exactly what we were looking for. A fussier or more particular bride and groom would probably easily find something just as perfect for them. The ceremony was quick, but not too quick. It was exactly what we had asked for. Carol was also an ideal fit for us. It was so nice to have her there to share in our happiness, calm my nerves, while remaining professional. She was dressed lovely, arrived with a smile, and carried tissues! I would recommend her to everyone. Thank you.

I highly recommend! You won't be disappointed.

From our initial meeting with them, we knew they were professional and easy to work with. Their portfolio of work assured us that they would capture our special day in the right light. They were easy to reach by email and replied quickly whenever we had questions. Our engagement photo session was held at Arnold Arboretum in the early fall. Emilie was easy going and made us feel comfortable. She captured the spring season beautifully and we were very satisfied with the outcome. As our wedding approached, Emilie did a great job putting together a timeline to make sure we made the best of the time we had. On the day of the wedding, the team was fully prepared for the long day of more than 12 hours of work. The team kept it light and fun but at the same time working together to capture the day while continuously looking to outdo each other creatively. Their attention to detail was impeccable. We have only received teasers at this point and looking forward to seeing more but we know they will be great. Many of our friends viewed the photo teasers and all were blown away. As one of our friends stated, "literally the most professional catalogue worthy wedding pics I've seen". We would highly recommend Lovely Valentine. They not only did a great job capturing our personalities but also became a part of our special day.
