Best decision for your wedding, just an amazing team

Words cannot do enough justice to describe or explain the amazing work of Aileen and her team in making our wedding night come true. My wife and I are profoundly grateful for all that they did for us. Honestly, we were apprehensive in hiring a wedding coordinator in the first place. I personally thought there was no need, we can do this ourselves. Let me tell you, it took just a few weeks of planning and seeing the overwhelming stress build up on my wife that made me reconsider. It took only one time meeting with Aileen to cinch the deal to hire her. Besides our photographers, it was the best decision we made for our wedding. Honestly after going through all that entailed in planning this wedding, if we could go back in time, hiring her would have literally been our first step. I speak as someone who was skeptical of hiring a wedding planner, it is one the best decisions to make for your wedding. Even if you are a great planner or well-organized person, hiring a wedding coordinator not only makes the wedding planning smoother, but it’s also just great not having to worry about the little things that could go wrong. And something will go wrong. That’s life. That is where Aileen and her team come to the rescue.

We went through so many setbacks, changes, and personal tragedies to overcome to make our wedding a reality and we can honestly say without Aileen and her team, I don't think it would have been possible. We hired her and her team to be our day of coordinator and they did a phenomenal job. Seeing them in action, we should have hired Aileen to be more than just our day of coordinator. Regardless, the wedding was great, my wife looked gorgeous and made me fall more utterly in love with her, and best of all we created a new wonderful memory to cherish.

Suffice it to say, they are a fantastic team that will make sure your wedding day is as special as it deserves to be. They do a lot but just to highlight some stuff they do, They help set up your timeline, coordinate with all your vendors, they give great advice, and fix emergency wardrobe malfunctions. As the groom, I know the wedding is more for her than me but fellas if you are reading, if you want to make her happy, hire Aileen. I hate using the cliché, but it’s true, happy wife means happy life. Best of all it just lowers the stress you will have that day. Believe me. Anyway, I'll just try to wrap up this long review of mine to just say Aileen and her team are professional, well-versed, resourceful, friendly, and just wonderful. Thank you, Aileen, for everything, we greatly appreciate all that you and your team did for us.

Amazing wedding coordinator!!

Changing our venue we were up in the air about getting a wedding planner and I am so happy we got one and that we hired Blu Events. From the first meeting with Aileen, she was professional, easy going and went along with all my crazy ideas which made me love her even more!! Leading up to the wedding she made everything stress free and on the day of knocked it out of the park! Her team was always there and never hesitated to help us! From set up to even helping me change out of my dress for the reception they were seriously amazing and so nice!! If you are in need of a coordinator to get stuff done who is also creatively amazing, you need to hire Blu Events!🧡🧡

Blu Events actually helped me enjoy the process of wedding planning!

The biggest piece of advice I can give to those in the wedding process is to hire a coordinator. I know of people who think they can take care of everything themselves (myself included). And while that may be true, more often than not, the stress and energy of it all takes away from truly enjoying this final journey towards marriage. I wanted to enjoy every minute of it, and hiring Aileen was the absolute best way to make that happen.

My husband and I weren't one of those couples that knew exactly what we wanted. If anything, we were the total opposite and didn't care too much about the details. And I thought that would make things easier, but we were wrong! There is so much to think about and our indecisiveness probably made things more difficult. But Aileen was AMAZING!

She was so organized with our timeline and knew how much extra time to give us to think about things (we needed extra time with a lot of decisions), and knew how to keep us on track when deadlines were approaching. She was always professional, and so so patient with us, never making us feel stupid for not knowing what certain things were. She was never pushy when showing us options, but was very thorough and gave justifiable suggestions. All of her recommended vendors that we used were amazing also! You can tell she has good rapport with many local vendors by the way they talk about her and her team. And the actual wedding day ran sooooo smoothly! To this day, I get compliments on how wonderful our wedding was.

Our biggest goal was to enjoy the entire wedding process, and because of Aileen and the rest of Blu Events, we seriously loved every single moment. Thank you!

We've worked with Blu Events Planning & Design at several weddings in the past year or so and each time we are excited to see what they will design next! They love to work behind the scenes and did an amazing job pulling together a wedding for a couple (whose wedding we filmed) that lived out of state. Aileen and her coworkers are such sweet, genuine people that really enjoy helping their brides and grooms feel loved!
