There are not enough "thank yous" to express our gratitude for what Valerie helped us tackle on our wedding day. Truly the best decision we made in the wedding planning process was choosing her as our day-of-coordinator. From the moment we connected with Valerie, she was professional, warm and such a delight to work with! Our meetings were always productive and fun, which helped us enjoy the wedding planning process instead of dreading it. Any worry or stressor that we had leading up to the day was always addressed and taken care of. She made sure to connect with all of our vendors and on the day of, when there were so many moving parts and details to consider, she was always on top of it! Even when Spanish could have been a language barrier, she did not let that stop her from executing this day. She remained a calming force when I felt overwhelmed and we were able to enjoy every second of this amazing day all thanks to her! Valerie was a joy to work with and our families loved her!

While I offer planning services for all types of events, weddings are my absolute favorite. I love working with people. I love making them laugh. I love love and I love watching each event unfold. This is literally my dream job and I am so grateful that I get to work in this amazing industry.

Awarded Best of Zola
We found RS Event Co. through a friend and are so glad we did! The Month-Of Coordination package offered us just what we wanted as we were looking for someone to handle the day of details to allow our family to enjoy the big day. And while Raquel did handle the smaller details, she also did so much more. From day one, she was professional, supportive and detail oriented, quickly becoming someone we could rely on and ask questions to. She made herself available for not only calls with vendors, but in-person meetings, ensuring our questions were heard and our vision was being brought to life. On the day of the wedding, Raquel struck the perfect balance of being supportive and discreet and after the event, I kept telling friends and family that I felt like everything went perfectly! I know that’s a testament to all the hard work Raquel put in to ensure my husband and I had the best day. She anticipated our needs before we had to ask and went above and beyond in areas that we didn’t even know we’d need until the big day (an example being driving guests from our reception to the parking lot in the venue’s golf cart). These feelings don’t just apply to myself and my husband as my parents have also expressed their gratitude for everything she did. We were all able to be present the entire day because of Raquel and that was truly a gift! For anyone considering a wedding coordinator, please reach out to Raquel! She will immediately jump in to help wherever she can while also being your personal cheerleader.

Irene & Co Events 
Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
  • Offers 5 services
  • Serves Derby, CT

Irene + Co Events is a luxury wedding planner in Connecticut. We offer weekend wedding packages, full planning and design packages, and 60-day coordination packages. Here's the lowdown: We excel at deciphering your unique style of entertainment, meticulously weaving sophisticated and inspired designs that unfold seamlessly over the weekend, culminating in a crescendo at the grand finale. Our knack? Making intricate logistics look effortless, whether it's at a Utah mountain peak or the tranquil New England shoreline. Our ultimate aim is always to capture the distinctive essence of each location.

Irene was one of the kindest and hardest working person I worked with while planning my June 2023 wedding. A big ask I had for my wedding planner was I needed someone who would tell me if something didn't look good or what details I was missing. Irene always managed to guide me through every decision and respectfully brought up her opinions or concerns when she had them, I really appreciated that she was committed to the design and my vision without letting me do something that would end up wasting money or not working. Everytime we spoke I genuinely felt like I was the only wedding she was working on and it really felt like she was my friend and not a vendor I was paying. On the topic of payment: she could have charged me double and I still would have paid it and felt like her services came at an absolute steal. Money was one of my biggest concerns (as it is most couples) and I had heard horror stories of wedding planners pressuring couples blow well past their budget or having an attitude about a couples spending choices. Irene was an absolute gem on this front. She always stuck to what my budget was, but would show me some upsells occasionally; always emphasizing the fact that they would be fun to add - but not required. If I had an idea that would cost extra she would set expectations and help me rearrange the spending if I felt strongly. Seriously. She's an angel and her assistant day of was incredible to work with as well. She's an amazing professional who made my day absolutely perfect. Book Irene. You won't regret it!

Everyone needs an events coordinator whose responsibility is to make sure you--and everyone at the center of the celebration--enjoy the event. Merry by Mia will be in your corner and take away all logistical stress.

We hired a day-of coordinator because although we wanted to own the process of planning the wedding, we did not want to be point persons for vendor questions, logistics, and issues on the day of the wedding. We chose Merry By Mia because we instantly felt like we were in good hands, were reassured by the fact that Mia herself had recently gotten married and knew firsthand what kind of stressors and wrinkles go into a wedding day, and because we were impressed with her podcast. We benefited greatly from working with Merry by Mia! We had a sounding board for questions throughout the planning process, making big undertakings (like finding and booking transportation for 120 people!) much much simpler. And of course, on the day of, we would not have rested nearly as easy if we hadn't known that Mia was there to represent our best interests when we couldn't be there ourselves. We also heavily relied on Mia to understand what we wanted/what was important to us and translate that to our other vendors, especially when we felt we weren't being listened to. This was invaluable to us. Overall, we were incredibly satisfied! From big planning moments down to helping me into my reception dress, the day would not have gone nearly as smoothly without Mia. I would absolutely recommend working with Merry because from my experience, Mia was reliable, understanding, and excited! It means a lot when vendors who live and breathe weddings still have the ability to get as excited over the details as you do. I would say to absolutely prioritize this expense in your budget. For me, I know that if I had allocated that money to any other line item I wouldn't have been able to fully enjoy it because I would be dealing with so much unnecessary stress and wrangling without a point person. Mia went above and beyond, listening to the long list of very particular requests we had and made sure everything was perfect. We're so thankful to her! “

It was an absolutely beautiful journey with Abiola and her team. There truly aren’t enough words to express our gratitude, but we’ll start with this: From our very first call, we knew we were in great hands. Abiola wasn’t just focused on logistics; she genuinely wanted to know us—our story, our values, and our vision. We still remember receiving our first care package and affectionately calling Abiola our “Fairy Godmother.” She gave us the right tools and encouragement for the journey ahead. From rehearsal to our wedding day, Abiola and her team didn’t miss a single detail or moment—they celebrated with us as if it were their own wedding. We planned a Haitian wedding with nearly 50 vendors, a wedding party of almost 30 people, two locations (church and reception), and a long list of moving parts in 7 months. You can only imagine the level of organization, communication, patience, and discipline required to execute such a day flawlessly! Yet Abibi Bridal exceeded every expectation—not only for us but also for our families, friends, and vendors. Thanks to them, we carry countless happy memories. They lifted the heavy load off our shoulders and replaced it with peace, joy, and the ability to be fully present in every moment. Because of Abibi Bridal, our wedding became the unforgettable beginning of a legacy that generations after us will remember. If you’re searching for a wedding planner or coordinator, take it from us—Maxine and Marc—who experienced Abibi Bridal both as guests and as bride and groom: you will regret not having them by your side. We thank God for Abibi Bridal and her incredible team, who truly serve with excellence, heart, and grace. Abiola, Gloria, Silvia, Comfort, and Dorcas—thank you so much for your gifts, your talents, and for serving us and our loved ones beyond anything we could have imagined. We pray God richly blesses you, your families, and your future in ways greater than this world can offer. Here’s to the BEST team ever!

Abby is a no brainer hire! Incredibly thoughtful, experienced, knowledgeable, intuitive, comprehensive, kind, and affordable! We were on a pretty tight budget so we hired Abby for her partial planning/day-of coordination and I can’t imagine what we would have done without her. I planned everything myself but as soon as she came on board, I felt so much comfort and relief knowing my wedding was in good hands and I could focus on other things. She is the definition of PRO. We had event staff bail the night before and she was able to find an amazing team of folks to fill their shoes! She ran our rehearsal like a well-oiled machine. She saw me dancing with my new husband with an empty drink in my hand and quickly swooped in to grab it; it’s the little things that tell you she’s putting you first on the most important day of your life. My entire wedding party adored her and even invited her out to the after party! If I could give her 50 stars I would. As my bridesmaids would say, QUEEN ABBY FOREVER. ️
