I could shout from the rooftops the love for Whim Events and it still would not be enough. I love love loved working with these ladies and my wedding day was better having had hired them!! I had a very clear vision in my head for what I wanted my wedding day to look like and it is as if the ladies of Whim crawled into my brain, sorted out the gazillion ideas I had floating around, and organized them into a very cohesive look. Every time I left meetings with Natalie and Moira I felt inspired, excited, and most importantly: less stressed!!! They are dream makers. The florals they provided for me were absolutely breathtakingly beautiful and guests are still gushing over them months later. Everything looked like a fairy tale. Natalie and Moira really knocked it out of the park and I am forever grateful. read more

Moira was the creative genius behind the flowers for our June wedding and we couldn't have been happier with the outcome! We gave her some basic color & flower type guidelines, and then let her work her magic. The sample arrangements were amazing, and the real thing came together perfectly at our venue. It was exactly what we'd hoped for! She's great about working with your budget and bringing your ideas to life. Everyone commented on how unique the flowers were! Can't wait to see what's in store for the future of Whim Events :-) read more

I fell in love with Whim the minute I found them online searching for options for our April 2016 wedding. Their florals and decor were gorgeous and they had options for every price point- including ours which was as low as possible while still being beautiful and full! We did the DIY plus package so they could be in charge of the bouquets, boutonnières and the greens for a garland we ordered for our arbor (we added this on as an extra). One of our best friends picked up a car full of seasonal blooms and we put together the center pieces and bud jars for cocktail hour. Our friend also attached big peony blooms and garden roses to the eucalyptus garland for the arbor. She had no experience really with floral arrangements but the guidance we recieved from Natalie and the other "whimen" helped her so much and we ended up with an amazing out come and exactly what I envisioned. Besides the awesome florals themselves, Natalie, Kelsey and Katie were always super easy to work with, very organized and responsive. Their calendar through Google was awesome to refer to so there was never a question as to what comes next. Also, I REALLY wanted peonies and we were a little close to being too early to guarantee they would be available through our package. I was thrilled to see buckets of my favorite flower being carried in the day before our wedding day! Whim was very accommodating with my vision and inspiration photos, etc but also offered advice when I needed it! I would strongly recommend Whim to any and all of my friends and future brides! I only wish I could have used them for every single area of my wedding decor and planning. I was beyond impressed and happy with my experience working within our budget and not sacrificing quality and beauty! read more

Hiring Natalie and Whim Events as our wedding planner was the best decision we have made as a couple so far. With her expertise and enthusiasm for our wedding (all the while working on many other beautiful events), Natalie made our wedding day come alive exactly as we wanted it to. We just wanted to throw a huge party and make our friends and family feel incredibly loved and well taken care of. Whim delivered and beyond. A few other ways to describe Whim: Professional, detail-oriented, considerate, and committed to us actually enjoying the planning and throwing a tasteful and loving party! read more

Natalie is a good friend of mine and I had the good fortune of getting engaged right when her and Moira were joining forces to form Whim, starting the event planning part of the business. She turned my anxiety (I never looked forward to planning a wedding) into excitement. I'd seen Natalie's event planning talents in action before at the fundraising events she's organized, and it took so much stress away knowing she'd be helping everything run smoothly on our wedding day. Her personality and energy are really made for this business. The day was awesome and she was awesome - I cannot thank her enough! If you're on the fence about getting some help for your wedding day - do it! I met with Moira and Natalie once at our wedding venue to go over what I was thinking for flowers and decorations. Moira is a sweet person - you will like her instantly - and intuitive - she was on the same page as me before I even got there. They were totally flexible with us getting flowers from the farmers market. Moira arranged the farmers market flowers and put together my bouquet. I was not expecting to love a bouquet of flowers but I really did. She'd went above and beyond crafting this funky, fun wire 'holder' of sorts for the bouquet based on a photo I'd shown her for inspiration. When we were taking pictures our photographer asked me if something was wrong because I kept looking down. I had just been looking at my beautiful bouquet :) Thanks! read more

I got married August 4, 2013 at the Overbrook House in Buzzard's Bay and hired Whim as day-of event planners. I met Natalie and Caitlin for coffee and knew instantly I was in the right hands. Easy to talk to and fun, but also highly organized - I liked their style and suggestions and felt they would do a great job. Caitlin ended up being the planner in charge and was wonderful about meeting twice before the wedding just to chat over details and allay all my fears. She made up a very helpful timeline, contacted all our vendors and offered to help with various pickups and deliveries to happen before the day. I really wanted someone just to help out on the day of the wedding which I got, but also someone to think of little details and go out of her way during the days leading up to the wedding. On the day of the wedding, lots of little things kept coming up but she helped our event go off without a hitch. Kelsey came and helped out too and was super helpful as well. Various pieces of equipment went missing and she ran around the venue and found them. We had a completely unexpected rain shower and she made sure everything stayed dry. We ended up running out of cups and ice and she went to the store to get more. Things that could have been minor disasters were immediately addressed and solved by Caitlin and it meant I could truly enjoy the day without every having to stress the details. I'd recommend Whim to any bride in a heartbeat! Thanks Whim for helping to make our big day so fun and stress-free! read more

First Yelp review ever...hmmm where to begin!! Whim events was the best thing that ever happened to our wedding! They made everything super easy and they were VERY responsive to any inquiries and very flexible about phone calls and meetings. I live on the west coast and they would often schedule phone calls late in their evenings to meet my needs (being 3 hours behind). I always felt like I was their only client and we were never rushed to make any decisions and if our vision changed, Whim was awesome about making the appropriate adjustments to make sure we were getting the wedding we wanted during the planning process. Natalie was also VERY professional when dealing with my family members who had a bit of a "different opinion" than i did with a few things ; ) (let's face it...EVERYONE has an opinion about your wedding). Natalie was VERY tactful and descrete when helping me with that type of stuff. As for the day of the wedding...having the Whim team there was hands down the best choice. Whim handled all of the venders, guests and making sure each vendor was tipped and that EVERY ONE of our guests was happy. They set aside food (& cocktails) for me and my husband during the photos and then again during the dancing. They think of EVERYTHING. Whim coordinated/managed the band and music during their breaks. Basically my husband and I didn't have to think of anything and (to this day) have NO clue if anything went "wrong". Long story short...i HIGHLY recommend. read more

Whim Events - need i say more ; ) - Wedding Planning Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

I'm not sure where to start. Having Moira, Natalie and Kelsey as part of my wedding day was beyond words. They offer so much to your day. Whim went above and beyond all expectations. Whim is an amazing team who will put their hearts into helping you to create the most memorable, beautiful wedding day. Natalie was very helpful from start to finish- through discussing my budget to making sure I had a plan for my centerpieces at the end of the night. She was always accessible from the minute I inquired about her help through the following 11 months. Moira created my beautiful bridal bouquets, boutonnieres and DIY flower selection. For the flower selection we took a trip to the Boston Flower Market. After a fun morning of finding the most unusual flowers and brightest coral tones, we knew Moira was ready to run with it! No matter what you're thinking, Moira will help you express that through flowers! It is clear she loves her job and is honored to be a part of creating the perfect flower assortment for you. It was a pleasure to be so hands on with the florist and our options were truly limitless. Our DIY flowers came out great (so I say, but seriously they were gorgeous). Moira was sure to provide us with enough greenery, large blooms, and small blooms to make wonderful centerpieces ourselves! Natalie and Kelsey rocked the day of coordination. Natalie helped about a month out with getting my vendors in order, setting up deliveries, planning setup and all those things that you don't realize you need to figure out. Natalie organized everything- and I mean EVERYTHING. With all the many details you spend so much time thinking about, please do not forget the most important detail- your sanity! Natalie handles all communication with your vendors 2 weeks out from your wedding. Day of, Natalie helped to make sure everything was smooth, I did not have to worry about anything because I knew Natalie & her team had it covered. My husband has not stopped talking about how amazingly helpful it was to have Whim Events as part of our day. You may think you've got this whole wedding thing under control, but I guarantee that some of the best money you will spend will be with Whim. read more

Natalie and the Whim team did an absolutely amazing job planning our wedding day. Natalie took our very random ideas and thoughts and turned them into a day that was absolutely perfect for us. From finding us perfect venue that would never have even occurred to us - to the vendors - who were all perfect - to incorporating our themes of sustainability, reuse and recycling - at every step the Whim team delivered above and beyond our expectations. They took care of everything down to the finest of details, leaving us to just enjoy the wedding and our guests. Amazing job and highly recommended! read more

I hired Whim Events & Floral Design for my August wedding at the referral of my wedding planner. My fiancé and I both agreed flowers were not very important to us in the grand scheme of things as they tend to be expensive and (obviously) temporary but we did want some visual "pop" to the wedding and my planner thought Moira would be a perfect fit. The initial meeting went really well; Moira is young, creative and passionate about what she does - she would get visibly excited when we talked about certain ideas. She brought magazines and her portfolio and we discussed types of flowers, styles of bouquets, etc. She had some great ideas and I left feeling confident she'd be able to do something nice within a reasonable budget. Our second meeting was in our venue and Moira brought examples of different centerpieces. I have no idea how she did it, but she used that first, pretty general discussion to create exactly what we were looking for! She used candles and mirrors accented with flowers (to keep down costs and help light the dark venue) and created little sculptural masterpieces with greens in vases. I was pretty impressed. Well, if I was impressed then, I was BLOWN AWAY when I got to the wedding venue the day of. Everything looked absolutely beautiful and we got so many compliments about how unique the hanging centerpieces were. (Words can't really describe them, but images are here: http://tinyurl.com/3gtvmj3) A lot of the negotiation and back-and-forth was handled through my planner but any and all interaction I did have with Moira and her team was extremely positive. And at the end of the day, she created a beautiful floral vision on my wedding day for an *extremely* good price. I would recommend Whim Florals and Moira's creative genius to anyone! read more

I had an awesome experience with Whim Floral for my small family centered wedding in June 2014. I am a pretty picky bride and I had specific requests on the color scheme and the type of flowers I wanted. At the same time, I am also very non-decisive so I would constantly change my mind and ask if they could accommodate it for me. Natalie (Event Coordinator & Business Operations) listened carefully to what I wanted and came up with a perfect combination of the two conflicting schemes I had in mind!!! It was like a dreams come true wedding to me. I was also very limited in the budget, and perhaps because it was a Monday wedding, Whim floral kindly worked under my tight budget while proposing flowers arrangements that turned out to be ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. I could tell that Natalie works in this industry just because she loves it so much. Plus, you could also rent props, vase, wedding related items from Whim which I thought was a huge factor in choosing Whim floral. They have a whole inventory of things that may be useful for any type of events. I personally don't like seeing items being used once and being wasted (which is usually the case in most wedding events), so if you are the type of person who are more environmentally conscious, I would definitely go for Whim floral. I highly recommend whim floral for your weddings!!! read more

I wish upon a star I could give team Whim more than 5 stars. I don't know where to begin except to say that our wedding on 9-8-2018 would not have been possible without them. We chose a non-traditional wedding venue that requires bringing EVERYTHING from power to bathrooms to every last fork (& bottle of booze!) to the site. I under estimated how difficult this would be and how much planning and organization this requires, but Natalie, Moira and G did it flawlessly. While initially you think you might be able to do all of this yourself (as I did- so foolish of me!) they have contacts with vendors you would never have access to and insights into timelines, design and planning beyond your wildest dreams. They went above and beyond for 3 full days of wedding bliss- I never had to worry for a minute because I knew everything was well taken care of and it really allowed me to RELAX and enjoy my wedding. I would recommend whim over and over and over- I wish I could plan another event just to work with them again. They make you feel special, you are not just a client or a number, you feel special and well taken care of (even when I was being bridezilla!) read more

This is the groom, writing on behalf of my wife. I urge anyone considering Whim to think twice before booking. My wife started our search for a wedding planner and was initially drawn to Whim because they included a florist. Our only apprehension was a pretty scathing and negative review on Yelp that painted Natalie (the owner of Whim) as a phony person who acted disrespectfully at her client's wedding. Link here - https://tinyurl.com/y9g2o5ym Natalie may have every excuse in the book if you confront her with the facts of our story, but just do yourself a favor and read her unapologetic response to the review. We vetted her and still fell for it big-time - we feel like suckers now. My wife got in touch with Natalie to discuss the aforementioned negative review, who did a fairly decent job of making that reviewer sound like a crazy person. We decided to book Whim. The first few months went fine, but then things drastically changed. Communication was inconsistent, emails or parts of emails were left unanswered, and errors were becoming noticeable in quotes and contracts. We were presented with a quote from a rental company with a total that exceeded our entire rentals budget by more than 75%. When we reacted with confusion, she became defensive and communication became even more inconsistent. Weeks went by without a word or a revision to the order. After she resurfaced and demanded that we make decisions fast, my wife finally decided to do her own research in the little time she had, and found the same tables and rental concepts for less than half the cost from a different vendor (under the same parent company). When confronting Natalie, she was again defensive. Our "design board," when we finally saw it, was essentially my wife's Pinterest board made into a PowerPoint. Her research was lazy and every decision was made to play it safe for her and her incredibly small, unequipped team. One initial rental quote had curation, design, and setup included in the fee to "make her life easier on-site." Something that was part of her role and responsibility as a creative designer and planner! She never once contributed creatively, although she claimed repeatedly that ideas were her "thing." Eight months into our working relationship, Natalie sent an email out to all her clients declaring new policies and rules. We now were officially limited to one 1-hr phone call per month - and don't even think about extending past that 59:59 sec time. "Sorry I have a hard-stop at 1 hour!" she'd exclaim. All other calls had to be scheduled at least 24 hours in advance, with permission. There was to be no texting moving forward, although it was surely ok for her to text you. She would demand, however, rapid action and decisions on our part. I mean, come on Natalie! You run a business where your most important job (in my humble opinion) is to keep a bride sane. Let me just reiterate this: Natalie demanded decisions from us, blamed us for delays, and would still make us wait weeks to talk directly to her. Let me paint a picture. My wife and mother-in-law went in to Whim for a meeting with her business partner/florist, Moira, 3.5 months before the wedding. They were under the assumption that this was a meeting to review the floral proposal - my wife was clear from the beginning what she wanted, in terms of flowers. But they were sat down and interviewed as if they were new clients, having to explain their vision from scratch. Worst of all, Natalie's assistant was told to yell a 5 minute warning so they could be ushered out of the office as soon as an hour was up! Two weeks later, after ignoring a sincere email from my wife explaining her concern with the lack of communication and uncertainty she was feeling the past few weeks/months, Natalie abruptly broke off our business relationship. This happened ten months into our relationship and three months before the wedding. And to top it off, "I had been thinking about this for some time," she said. What a consummate professional, right? One who is clearly dedicated to open communication with her clients. read more

When we first picked our wedding venue, we were worried that we lacked the creativity and time needed to really do the space justice. We knew we wanted to be involved in the decorative process, but we also knew we needed some expertise and guidance to pull everything together. I first noticed Whim for their beautiful flowers. I reached out to them and learned more about their decor options and custom design packages. I knew they were a perfect fit for what we needed. The Whim team is flexible, responsive and always willing to work with you and your budget. They are always excited and enthusiastic about your wedding and the planning process - we always looked forward to meeting with them! They came up with a design plan, allowed us to pick certain elements we wanted help executing, and also prepared our floral arrangements. Whim went above and beyond, and we could not have been happier with the end result. I can honestly say I was not worried one bit on our wedding day regarding how everything would look knowing we had Whim helping us out - this team is amazing. My husband and I both agree that working with Whim was the best decision we made for our wedding. read more

I cannot recommend Nathalie, Marjorie, and Whim Events enough! Our wedding day was absolutely amazing - beyond any of our expectations! Every element of the day had been planned expertly and every interaction with our vendors taken care of so that we could enjoy ourselves and our guests completely. The wedding day is intense and wonderful so knowing that someone else was monitoring the schedule of the day, the vendors, and making sure all our guests were comfortable allowed us to be carried by that wave of hugs and love! Nathalie carefully listened to us and understood our vision for the day and helped create the atmosphere we were looking for: beautiful, simple, fun and a bit rustic. It 100% felt like a collaborative effort and that we were able to have this amazing group project as a couple and as a family, with my (bride) mom and dad. Without Nathalie we would have been totally lost and not known where to start! read more

My wife and I are wedding photographers who have done over 300 weddings with many different planners. Natalie and her team are the only ones we wanted for our wedding! No one will go to bat for you more during the process to make sure you get everything you want at the price you need. They are extremely organized, professional, fun, and they "get" their clients vision! These qualities were not only important throughout our planning process, but so wonderful when we work alongside them as vendors! read more

We were planning a largely DIY wedding and it was recommended to us that we hire a day-of coordinator to make the event be less stressful for my bride and I. Needless to say, it was a great decision that we are SO glad we made. Kelsey from Whim reached out to us and different intervals as the day-of grew closer to collect details and other vendor information. As we approached the final weeks of preparation, she took over all of the communication we had with vendors. This was nice as we had our hands full with decorations and guest related logistics. On the day of is where we really appreciated having everything out of our hands. We were both confident that Kelsey and Emily knew exactly what we wanted and how we wanted everything done. I literally did not talk to a single vendor all day, allowing me to concentrate on the ceremony setup, getting ready, and enjoying the day with all my closest friends and family. We also did not have a DJ, so reception introductions and specific songs and things like that were all given to Kelsey and it was executed just in the way that we wanted. I can't even imagine what our day would have been like without a coordinator, but I'm sure we'd be spending less time having fun and more answering questions and dictating schedules and generally stressing about everything. This purchase was worth every penny!! read more

Natalie and Moira were so on top of things throughout the whole process. They even set up a year long Google calendar to help us plan ahead. We had a pretty vague vision for our wedding florals, but they truly brought it to life with their creativity and skill. They were flexible as details changed multiple times and the end result was absolutely stunning- especially our wedding chuppah and of course the centerpieces, which everyone raved about. I knew I wouldn't have to worry about a thing on the big day for our florals, and everything was perfect. We are so happy we went with Whim! read more

I could not have asked for a better experience with a wedding coordinator and floral team! Natalie, Moira and everyone at Whim is so genuinely kind, helpful and passionate about their jobs. They all have an efficient yet calm/collected and laid back vibe that rubs off on anyone they are around. They were willing to go the extra mile to make sure everything went smooth on our wedding day of and that the flowers were perfect. They listened to my wishes and desires and created a day that I will remember forever in which I worried about absolutely NOTHING. Not to mention they are just really nice people who are easy to talk to and fun to be around! Here are a couple more reasons they are awesome: 1) Combined my vision of having weird flowers with some more traditional ones to create florals that looked awesome and felt very "us" 2) They have innovative ideas of how to reuse flowers in order to save $$$ 3) The floral market visit as part of their packages is amazing and so much fun, highly recommend so you can see flowers in real life! 3) Natalie is so good at handling difficult vendors and making sure you don't have to worry about that or really anything! 4) Natalie was always checking in to make sure we were taken care of in ways beyond a regular planner (making sure we had eaten before and were calm for the ceremony) If you are on the fence at all about what coordinator or florist to use or if to use one at all, I highly recommend Whim 1000x over, I am so happy we hired them for the wedding- they were worth every penny. read more

Natalie and Moira were amazing when it came to my wedding this last Thursday. From the beginning Natalie and I were on the same page and everything she created, from bouquets to arbor flowers to centerpieces were 100% what I had imagined. We had so many compliments all night on the work they did and I can't wait for the professional photos. read more

Words can not express how appreciative I am for everything that Whim did for our wedding weekend. Hiring Whim was the best decision we ever made!! From the moment our relationship began, Natalie and Moira understood our vision and perfectly executed every single detail. They were responsive, creative, easy to work with and just generally fun-loving, awesome people. The wedding was everything we could of dreamed of and more. They made me feel calm on the big day and I never had to worry about anything falling through the cracks. The small details including parasols, a rose bar, marble accents that they came up with made our wedding so different and special. Moira's floral arrangements were stunning. She even knew how much I loved peonies and saved some all the way until July 7 for my special bouquet!! It is that attention to detail that separates them from other planners. Natalie and Moira have strong relationships with all Boston vendors and made the process incredibly seamless and were extremely easy to work with. Not only that, but they make an effort to get to know their clients and form a personal relationship with them. They truly knocked it out of the ballpark and made our wedding the most perfect day!!! read more

My wedding was September 21, 2012 in Topsfield, MA at the Willowdale Estate. I booked our venue back in the the Spring of 2011, and once I had that settled, I started researching vendors.....I think flowers were the hardest, I had no idea about colors, whats in season, and I had no real vision for the day that early in the process. I searched wedding blogs and spent a lot of hours looking at wedding photography blogs (they usually credit the florist).....I came across Whim in the fall of 2011. My now husband and I met Natalie and Moira on a cold rainy day in October at a coffee shop in Harvard Square. They patiently listened to me babble on about ideas for our wedding and then looked through websites and a TON of post-it note flagged wedding magazines (I was a bit OCD in the beginning of the the planning process). The listened to my husband talk all about how he loved ferns, and how they reminded him of where he grew up etc.....We left that morning, and cancelled our other floral appointments. We both knew that they were going to do a great job, you could feel how really passionate they are about creating a vision for weddings. They were both so down to earth and seemed genuinely excited to help us. In the summer of 2012, just a few months before the wedding, Natalie and Moira took my mom, husband and I to the Boston Flower Market. Let me preface with this by saying my mom is obsessed with crafty things, and took a weekly floral design class when I was growing up, she was so excited to have the chance to go into the market. Natalie and Moira were great showing us around and talking about all the options (and chatting with my Mom about the flower market in general). This was the best part of the planning, my husband and I were able to point at things we loved and didn't, show them colors we liked etc. Now for the wedding, It was the best day ever, and no one could have helped me more with the finishing touches more than Whim. I was back and forth on the use of burlap runners and sent Natalie like 50 emails 2 weeks before the wedding. Everything was beautiful. All of our centerpieces were so unique and all AMAZING, so full of color and texture. They were the best selections of flowers I have ever seen. My bouquet was gorgeous. I actually cried the next morning when i thought it was missing. My bridesmaids and my husband and I's mothers loved their bouquets, My Husband loved his boutonniere (complete with baby ferns) and everything just looked so perfect, and all of our guests raved about the flowers. I cant say enough about Whim, and how at ease I felt knowing that even though I couldn't say exactly what I wanted at times, Natalie and Moira would be able to make it all look so fabulous. Even after the wedding was over, Natalie and Moira were great with helping my mom figure out how to preserve my bouquet. Whim Events and Floral Design will always be my go to recommendation to anyone for all things flowers and wedding! read more

Where do we even begin?! We worked with Whim Events to plan our June 2017 wedding in Woodstock, Vermont and had an amazing experience. Natalie and her team were incredibly professional, detail-oriented, flexible, calm (which made us calm!), and genuinely excited to help us celebrate our marriage. We had a 1.5 year engagement and worked with Natalie from the very beginning--planning with her felt like working with a good friend. She always kept the focus centered around the elements that were important to my husband and me, and helped us create a wedding that represented all of our favorite things. I can't count the number of times that I said "what would we do without Natalie?!"-- her team managed all vendor communication (including recommending and introducing us to several of our vendors), developed a detailed weekend timeline, ordered, organized, and packed day-of materials, and executed all wedding day logistics. She kept us on track with a planning calendar, and was an amazing sounding board when we needed to talk through anything. Knowing that she had everything under control allowed my husband and me to enjoy our engagement without feeling like our wedding was taking over our conversations (or lives!). The weeks leading up to the wedding were incredibly calm for my family (no last minute errands!)--we knew that Natalie and her team had everything taken care of. It brought us such peace of mind to be able to enjoy our final few weeks of engagement without a long to-do list or wedding stress, and it was so important to us that our families could enjoy this special time together without running around helping with last minute prep. From the moment we arrived in Woodstock, my husband and I were able to relax and enjoy the weekend with our family and friends (my husband was thrilled that he could spend the day before the wedding golfing with his groomsmen instead of delivering gift bags!). Natalie worked seamlessly with the Church and hotel staff to design a beautiful ceremony and reception space that represented the vision we created together. She even had our beverages of choice waiting for us when we walked into cocktail hour :). If anything went wrong during the wedding weekend (I'm sure it did, as things always do), my husband and I had no idea about it because Natalie and her team were there to manage everything! I can't recommend Whim Events enough--they were an absolute dream to work with, and will forever be a part of the incredibly meaningful memories of our engagement and wedding. Thank you, Natalie + Whim! Becca + Steve read more

Moira was the florist at our wedding in June 2011. She was amazing! The flowers were so beautiful - they took my breath away! And many guests commented on how they loved the flowers as well. What was also so wonderful was that she really listened to what aesthetic I had in mind and paid a lot of attention to what would work at our venue. She really nailed it. I would recommend her in a heartbeat! -Janet read more

It took me almost a year to write this because I had no idea how I was going to condense Natalie and Moira's awesomeness into a reasonably-sized review. Flowers were a huge part of the wedding for me and how I found Moira is probably my favorite wedding planning story. Suffice to say, we met in the Post Office Square parking garage over a few buckets filled with the most beautiful arrangements I had seen. Closer to the wedding, we discovered that she had partnered with Natalie to create the dynamic duo they are today. Natalie took over the coordination duty for us and did a superb job with acting as a liaison between me and my fiancee, the vendors and the site staff. We were married on Thompson Island (amazing place), so this was no small feat, but you would never know it from Natalie's grace under fire. Moira's arrangements blew me and everybody else away. She easily adapted to what I had envisioned and created a wonderland of hops garlands, hanging votives and lush centerpieces. Her work is youthful and elegant. To this day, our friends and family comment on how amazing our wedding was, and that is in very large part to Moira and Natalie's hard work. Thank you ladies! read more

I was lucky enough to work with both Natalie as a wedding planner and both her and Moira for floral design/decor. I was a bit nervous about planning my wedding in general. I currently live in Chicago, but I wanted to hold my ceremony at my hometown church in MA and the reception at an outdoor venue nearby in CT. On top of the geographical challenges, I was working with a family that doesn't deal well with stress. By choosing a totally outdoor venue I was convinced I would have no relationship with my mother by the wedding day. Natalie was unbelievable in helping coordinate logistics at a venue that isn't used to doing too many weddings. On top of her unbelievable creativity and organizational skills she was great at keeping everyone calm and garnering complete confidence in her abilities. She made the trip to the venue in CT multiple times to come up with contingency plans in the case of rain and created a plan A, B & C. We were incredibly fortunate that the rain held off day of, but I barely broke a sweat thinking about it prior to the wedding knowing I had so many back up options in place. The other major challenge with my wedding was that I had a million ideas and couldn't articulate exactly what I wanted. I knew that I wanted to showcase the beautiful natural setting of the venue, but also bring in a vintage glamourous feeling. Moira and Natalie came out for my tasting at the venue and were able to articulate my vision and ultimately execute it in a way I couldn't describe. They were completely on my wavelength and came up with ideas I hadn't even thought of. I had so many guests comment that they couldn't believe the level of detail in my decor. From hanging chandeliers under the tent, crystals hanging on the covered bridge, romance novels supporting candelabras on the table, to my great grandma's vintage mirror having the table cards strung across it. http://tinyurl.com/avt4dou Natalie and Moira are truly creative visionaries, that can bring any vision to life (even if you don't know what that vision is!!) On top of that, they are both unbelievably great to work with!! I want to plan it all over again with them and there are probably few brides that you can get to say that! read more

I hired Nat & Moira for my wedding at The Barn at Gibbet Hill on November 24th, 2012. My grandmother's friend had seen their work at a wedding in CT and it came highly recommended. Whatever made the vendor selection process easier, I was willing to take. So, I called Nat & Moira and began meeting with them. From their personal touch, to their expertise, I trusted them both every step of the way, and I knew they would do anything they could to make me happy with what admittedly was not a huge budget. When wedding day came and I saw their work (we took pictures prior to the ceremony onsite so I was able to see the flowers ahead of time), I was overcome with joy at just how beautiful my flowers were. I didn't think I cared that much about flowers until I realized how happy it made me to have perfect ones. Moira even made extra pepper corsages because she remembered I like peppers from our trip to the flower market, and it turned out those were the talk of the evening! Nat & Moira offer an amazing, personal touch, and go above and beyond in their delivery. I would strongly recommend their services to anyone for any event! read more

We got married in March and used Whim events for our floral package at a friend's recommendation. We could not have been happier. Natalie and Moira were awesome to work with, able to flex their services to meet our budget, and were almost as excited about our ideas as we were. They also provided rental decorations to fit with our vision for the day, which saved me from having to consider every little detail and buy a bunch of things I would never use again. After our meeting, Natalie worked with us via email to create the perfect package for us--sending inspiration pictures (including some from my own pinterest board) so that we knew what Whim had in mind. She must have tweaked the proposal at least 3 times without ever getting impatient with me. She was super responsive throughout the entire process, which is impressive because for a while it felt like I emailed her almost every day. The day of the wedding, the girls who delivered our flowers and decorations were on time, professional, and (maybe most important on your wedding day) self-sufficient. I could not have asked for more. If you're looking for the perfect addition to your wedding day "team", you won't be disappointed in Whim. read more

Whim was perfect! I can't imagine them being better organized, more professional or more fun. Trust me, pick them!!!

Whim was so great to work with for my October 25, 2014 wedding. I used them for flowers and day of- so I worked with Natalie for big picture stuff, Moira for flowers, and Kelsey was my DOC. All three ladies were wonderful! Natalie is super organized, Moira will give you a whole flower lesson and has a wonderful vision, and Kelsey was a life saver for the day of, I would have had a completely different wedding experience without her. Above all, besides the great work, they were the vendor that just had me the most excited for my wedding- they are genuine, kind, happy people. read more

Whim Events - Wedding Planning Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

I knew that working with Whim was going to be an amazing experience from the start. We worked with Whim for all things floral-decor-planning related... basically everything that made our wedding our wedding. Natalie was our main contact for decor-planning-etc, and Moira was our contact for floral-related pieces. We also worked with Kelsey, who was equally wonderful throughout the process. Day of the wedding, we had a whole team of wonderful ladies from Whim help to make the day PERFECT. Moira couldn't have captured my floral dream more beautifully. I, and everyone at the wedding, was taken aback by the beauty of the flowers, greenery, and artistry that came with it all. The setting of our outdoor ceremony came alive due to the gorgeous flowers and the centerpieces throughout the cocktail hour and reception tent were stunning. Additionally, Moira was so lovely to work with and always made me feel so good about our floral vision! I feel so lucky to have worked so closely with Natalie throughout the entire process. Through her detailed questions and close listening, she was able to make everything happen perfectly. Natalie supported me in ensuring that I got what I wanted with vendors and her expertise helped me with every decision. She always made me feel that she was as excited for our wedding as I was; it was a dream experience working with her. Our wedding had fabulous details, wonderfully personalized touches, and was picturesque--all thanks to Whim. Having incredible professionals take such care with all of these elements of the wedding allowed us to have the MOST amazing time at our wedding, fully experience all of the aspects of the day itself, and be overjoyed by the way everything turned out. As my mother said many times throughout the process, "Working with Whim was the best idea you had for this wedding!"--and we couldn't agree more. read more

I would highly recommend using Whim Events for your wedding needs! Natalie and Moira were great to work with. They made planning the flowers, table centerpieces and ceremony decor a breeze. The whole process was clearly explained and stress free. The flower arrangements for the bridal party and the tables were absolutely stunning! They made our wedding ceremony and reception look so beautiful. Thank you for turning our vision into a reality! Choose Whim events for your wedding. You won't be disappointed! read more

Natalie and Moira helped make our 200+ wedding absolutely perfect. They were so easy to work with and truly understood our style; they matched their beautiful designs to our ideas to create our dream wedding. Their customer service was above any others that I had worked with during the planning process; they were quick to return calls and emails and helped guide us through the steps we needed to take proactively. On the day of they were prompt and professional leaving me nothing to worry about. My husband and I (along with our guests!) were thrilled with the way things turned out and would highly recommend them. read more

HIRE WHIM!!! They will make your dream wedding come true :) We first met Natalie back in March. Our wedding was in September and we were looking for a planner and a florist. After grabbing coffee with Natalie, I turned to my then fiance and said "done - hired!". I fully trusted Natalie from day one. I knew that she was on top of it from her emails, plans, being very responsive, etc. Not too long after that, we met Moira during a walk thru at our wedding venue. I can't say enough about this duo. We ended up hiring them for the design, the day of coordination, and for floral design. Along the way we met the rest of the girls on the team, and everyone is awesome. They had great ideas and have relationships with some great vendors for all of the little details that you may want (chalkboards, signs, paper goods, etc.), they understood exactly the look we were going for, and executed above and beyond our expectations on the big day. The flow of the day, the way everything looked.....it was 100% exactly how we envisioned it. Our guests are still talking about how it was the best wedding they've been to, and we owe a lot of that to Whim. I can't say it enough: Whim Events is a truly wonderful team to use for any of the services that they provide. They were by far our favorite wedding vendor. You won't be disappointed! read more

My fiance and I got engaged in May of 2013 and began planning our September 2014 wedding right away. We chose a completely DIY venue so I knew we would need help. I'd heard only wonderful things about the customizable wedding planning and florals at Whim so I knew where I was going. Whim was, hands down, the best planning choice we made for our wedding! Natalie and Moira are incredible! As soon as you meet them and step into their flower filled studio you feel like they've been your friends forever. They are all about YOU and bringing your vision to life. I was anxious about coordinating all of the vendors, decor, and all of the little things I knew I hadn't even thought of! Natalie completely put my mind at ease - with the customizable planning packages she could be there to fill in all of the blanks. She helped coordinate with vendors (and had our backs with any conflicts that arose), together with Moira they created a spectacular design and floral plan that incorporated every vision Corey and I had,and they made sure everything was perfect. When it came to the day-of, Natalie and her team were unbelievable! Our wedding, which had A LOT of outside vendors and moving parts, went off without a single problem. Everything was PERFECT! I don't know how Natalie does it, but she will make your day everything you've dreamed and more. I could go on and on about how amazing this team is. Please do yourself a favor and hire Whim for your wedding. read more

They will cheerlead the bride and tell you exactly what you want to hear. They sign their enthusiastic emails xoxo to pretend we are close. Even my husband saw through this fakeness. Especially when they mixed us up with another couple during a meeting. Apparently they feel that once the wedding starts, they are off the clock. When there was a scheduled toast starting, they didn't find it necessary to corral guests into the area and instead my family had to do it. Imagine my horror when I received my photo booth pictures and there they were, having a blast dressing in props and thinking they were guests (during toasts perhaps?) Stuck with those photos forever. read more

I cannot say enough positive remarks about Whim. They are simply the best in the business. My father-in-law hired Whim as a wedding gift. My husband and I both have busy careers and travel schedules so having someone to look over the month-of-coordination leading up to the wedding was very helpful. Natalie our wedding planner was professional, helpful and organized throughout the entire process. She also managed a few difficult conversations with vendors with true grace. I truly believe she represented my vision and interest at all times. Beyond this, Natalie and Whim made a point to get to know me - and that personal touch made the difference between wedding planner and partner. Natalie and her team always came to every meeting with a smile and an enthusiasm for planning our special day! From the Google Calendars, email reminders, follow-up summaries they had every 'i' dotted and every 't' crossed. I would recommend Whim to all of my family and friends, and to whomever is considering Whim services. read more

Natalie and Moira are such a pleasure to work with. Whim Events was the first vendor that we signed with and they really set the tone for our whole experience. The introductory meeting was fun, professional and it was obvious how knowledgable they both were. We used their recommendations to find other vendors and could not be happier. I had a specific vision but I do not know the last thing about florals so I relied heavily on Moira's expertise. It was perfect! Everything was more beautiful than I could have imagined and the support and communication over the 16 months prior to the wedding was stellar. I would recommend these ladies in a heartbeat. My only regret is that I didn't do the full planning package and have their help on more :) Thank you Natalie and Moira! read more

Whim Events went above and beyond to make our wedding run smoothly. Natalie is incredibly professional and didn't blink at the myriad of small issues that we needed resolved in the weeks leading up to the wedding. On the day of, she and her staff worked tirelessly to attend to every small detail. What I loved most about working with Natalie is that she was honest, forthright, and calm under pressure. She also responded to emails and phone calls within a timely manner, which I appreciated so much. If you are looking for a great wedding planner, look no further! read more

I never write reviews. This is my first review. Ever. I feel that strongly about Whim Events. I found Whim Events after scouring the internet not only for help with design and flowers but also with day of coordination. I read a few reviews and decided to get in touch. I remember telling my husband, that I just had a feeling that they were going to be the ones... and sure enough they were. Natalie and Moira had me at hello with our first phone call. They are full of energy and passion for what they do. They actually got me excited about planning our wedding...a task I was not looking forward to. The Behind the Scenes: I started working with Whim in January and our big day was in April of this year. We had a small window of time and a ton to get done. I live in NY, the venue was in CT and Whim is in MA, but we made it work. I absolutely hate using the phone and Natalie worked with me as much as possible over email. It made my life so much easier. During the time leading up to our big day, Natalie touched base with me not only with the administrative items, but also a bridal mental health check. We worked together using Pinterest so they could get to know my sense of style and the vision I had for our blank canvas of a wedding venue. Natalie came up with great ideas like having an "I SPY" game for the children attending our big day. She worked closely with the venue coordinator to make sure we were abiding by our contract. When the caterer "miscalculated" our final bill, Natalie jumped right on the phone and handled the situation immediately. She took total control over our wedding and I trusted her implicitly. The Design: We had chosen an antique/vintage travel theme for the wedding. That vision was realized in such a classic and unexpected way down to the destination post cards as table names. On our wedding day, I can't even describe the awe I felt seeing the amazing job Whim Events had done. There was no detail left to chance. We were completely blown away. The Floral Design: I think the comment I said to my husband says it all. "I love this bouquet almost as much as I love you." Moira had created exactly what I wanted and more. You can see my bouquet on Whim Event's FB page :) The bridesmaid bouquets, the boutonnieres, the centerpieces all were unique in their own way. I never would have imagined using lemons or half of the floral design pieces she did. Amazing. Day of Coordination: On the morning of the big day, she routinely followed up with me to make sure the hair, makeup and photographers had arrived as expected. She even reminded me to eat lunch :) For the ceremony, Natalie ran our wedding like it was a VIP event. She put me and our entire family at ease. The reception went amazingly well. She oversaw a little birthday celebration we had planned for our niece and other guests. I was 9 weeks pregnant at the time of our event. She actually replaced my champagne with Sprite when the time for the toast came. She made sure I had food and didn't bother me with any of the minor details. We got to enjoy the event itself. That's how organized and detail-oriented she is. She is a true professional. I say this to my friends all of the time, but I'll say it again. I never had a vision for my "dream wedding" growing up. BUT, if I did, what Whim Events created for our wedding would have been it. We still get comments from our friends as to how special and intimate our wedding was. We have Whim Events to thank for that...and we can't thank them enough. On a personal note, Natalie and Moira are just 2 of those people you meet and you feel like you've found a friend for life. I would never hesitate to recommend them for anything professionally as well as personally. I hope this review helps the grow their business even more. They deserve nothing but success. read more
