I am incredibly shy but I found it so easy to open up to Erica and she was mindful of this with regards to ceremony planning as well. Our ceremony was personal, meaningful, short, and everything we could have asked for plus somethings we would have never even thought to ask for! My husband and I both come from families deeply rooted in the Catholic faith. We were nervous about how our famillies would feel about our non-religious wedding but everyone was both touched and impressed by how it turned out. I will be forever grateful to Erica for playing such an integral role in our special day.

We worked with Kerrie from Citygirl to plan our fall wedding. I was super worried about planning a…read morewedding while living in a different state and time zone. You can easily get overwhelmed when planning a wedding in a big city as there are so many great vendors and venues to choose from. Citygirl has an incredible network of vendors that they work with all the time. I loved that I was able to send Kerrie a few photos of say floral or stationary, and she was able to give me a list of 3-4 spot on vendors in different price ranges. It was such a relief to know that the vendors were reliable, professional and had experience working with Kerrie. I am super indecisive so I can't tell you how much time this saved me. The end product was beautiful, classy, and more stunning than I could have imagined. Everything flowed perfectly so that our families could just enjoy the day without worrying about any of the behind the scenes details. My parents said they were bombarded with calls, texts, and letters for days and days after the wedding from guests saying how it was the most beautiful event they had ever been to. Thanks ladies!

I cannot recommend Shar and citygirl enough!! Seriously, I would give her 100 stars if I could…read more From start to finish, Shar left no stone unturned when it came to planning the wedding of my dreams. She truly gets to know who you are as a bride, like what stresses you out or what is especially important to you, and she tailors her approach to each wedding she plans. Shar made sure everything went PERFECTLY on our wedding day so I was truly able to enjoy the day and not worry about the small details or something going wrong. Not only is she a fantastic wedding planner, she is also a genuinely kind and thoughtful person overall. I consider myself extremely lucky to have met her almost five years ago as my wedding planner and to now also consider her a friend.

My wife and I got married last November at the Bridgeport Art Center which is a beautiful space,…read morebut is just that--a space. We had to find a florist, decorator, caterer, a band, and someone to set the whole place up and tear the whole place down. Instead we found Amber, who did a little bit of everything to make out wedding less stressful and more beautiful. Besides organizing everyone day of she helped in the lead up, thinking of things that never would have occurred to us and making phone calls to fix problems before we knew they existed. She was incredible. And did it all in a way that made me believe she really wanted us to just have a perfect day. Next time I have an event of any size to organize, she will be my first call.

I tend to have lists and lists of things I want to get done and have no idea where to start. She sorted my mail, designed a new closet system for me, cleared out bags of extra clothes and set me up with contractors. I got my condo painted and built in a wine fridge/bar/glassware cabinet that I'd been wanting to do since I bought the place! This past January, my job was moving me out of state and one day I suddenly realized I wasn't sure what I needed to do to prepare for my move. Movers were coming to pack up my stuff in a few weeks and I'd done nothing to prepare. I reached out to Amber and within the hour, she laid out my game plan, gave me a to do list, and highlighted where she could help out. Within 10 days, my stuff was on a truck and I was mostly ready to go. I had to ask her to come back after I left to take one more box to the post office to mail and she was perfectly happy to do it. I recommend her if you need help planning, getting organized, or just a quick reality check when you're overwhelmed by random life tasks. She breaks it down and gets it done. Now if I could just find someone like her in NYC....

Having a wedding planner is the absolute best decision you can make for your wedding day, but an…read moreeven better decision is hiring Urban Allure Events as your planning team. We had the incredible pleasure of having Nicole, the owner be our lead planner for the day of our wedding. She is proactive, responsive and a masterful timeline creator. Our wedding day was flawless in large part because of Nicole. Whenever she had even a whiff of something going sideways, she had almost a sixth sense to get in front of it and fix it without me ever having to worry about it. Details I thought I had nailed, she thought of and made it even better than I dreamed. From our first call with Nicole she asked what we were worried/stressed about and as a marketer who's planned and hosted many events I told her my only worry was being wrapped up in making sure everyone else had a good time and that I wouldn't focus on myself having a good one. She took that to heart and made sure literally the only thing I thought about was being present with my new husband, family and friends the entire day. People kept asking me "how are you so calm?" and my answer was "I don't have to worry about anything, I have Nicole and the Urban Allure team." Book them now and watch your wedding of your dreams come to life!

Nicole worked with me over several meetings to help me bring my vision to life. She had amazing creative ideas that I would have never thought of on my own and really understood what we were going for. They hung florals, disco balls, and even chandeliers over our dance floor, creating the most stunning environment. Colleen, who handled a lot of the floral sourcing, even included some beautiful blooms from her personal garden in our arrangements. It was such a special touch. Choosing Urban Allure was one of the BEST vendor decisions I could have made and I'd recommend them to anyone.

Finally, the owner (Francesca) kept such amazing contact with us and was so helpful through the whole process, and was even willing to call me late at night to fix a billing issue. I definitely recommend taking your first class here and trying something out of your comfort zone! Great community :)
