Working with Val was hands down THE best decision we made for our wedding. I gave her a chaotic document full of insane ideas, unconventional plans, and random thoughts, and she somehow turned it into the most incredible, seamless, perfectly designed 3-day event. She has an unbelievable eye for design, but what really sets her apart is her ability to make everything feel calm and completely handled. Val had every detail completely dialed in and built such strong relationships with our vendors that everyone was obsessed with her. Because of that, we got to actually enjoy our wedding instead of managing it. Months later, people still bring it up. Friends, family, and even vendors have told me how special it felt, the flow of the events, the way the spaces transformed and how everything came together. That doesn’t just happen, it was Val. Anything she touches turns to gold!!! Your search for a wedding planner ends here… if Val is available, book her immediately!

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.

I'm Jennifer, the heart behind Fresh Event Services, a day-of and destination wedding coordination service designed especially for couples who want to plan their own vision and need someone calm, capable, and joyful to bring it to life.

Awarded Best of Zola
We got married on May 21, 2022, and I can confidently say that hiring Jenn was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. She was an absolute dream to work with from start to finish! Our family first met Jenn when we hired her to help with my Grandma’s 90th birthday celebration -- an event that came together beautifully thanks to her expertise. After seeing how seamlessly she pulled off that special day, I knew I wanted her to be part of our wedding. Due to the pandemic, I had a longer-than-expected planning window (a little under 2.5 years), and I brought Jenn on board later in the process than I would’ve liked -- honestly, if I had known how incredible she was, I would have hired her from day one. Jenn served as our day-of coordinator, but she brought so much more to the table. She was incredibly detail-oriented, always attentive to my ideas, timeline, and ever-growing list of décor dreams. Our planning calls were so helpful -- they not only kept things on track but also eased my anxiety and made me feel confident that everything would come together. On the wedding day, Jenn went above and beyond. She met us at our bed and breakfast, carefully transported all of our décor and paper goods to the venue, and worked hand-in-hand with our venue staff and vendors to bring our vision to life. She had a calming presence and a warm, supportive energy that made the whole day feel smoother and more joyful. Throughout the celebration, Jenn was always nearby (but never intrusive), checking in to make sure my husband and I had everything we needed and that the schedule stayed on track. She truly cared about making the day special for us -- and it showed in every detail. Jenn was an invaluable part of our wedding day, and I couldn’t recommend her more highly. Whether you're planning a wedding, party, or special event, she brings professionalism, warmth, and a genuine passion for what she does. Thank you, Jenn, for your incredible care, thoughtfulness, and dedication. You helped make our day unforgettable!

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!

We booked for both florals and planning. We could not be more grateful to Angel for her unbelievable help. When beginning to plan our wedding, we had some vague ideas of what we liked, but were not completely sure. Despite only advertising as a 3 month planner, Angel helped us from the day we booked with her (a little under a year and a half before our wedding). She recommended amazing vendors, let us run ideas and questions by her at any time, and helped us craft the most beautiful day. We intentionally decided that florals would be lower on our list of priorities and expenses. Angel also does florals through Greenhouse Events, and she showed us beautiful photos and had the most reasonable prices of any florist we had met. I had a few requests for florals: namely, I wanted a few peonies for my bouquet in November, and gave a few other types of flowers I'd love to see. Peonies are not in season in November in North America, so I knew it might be difficult. Flash forward to our wedding: Angel had everything so detailed and organized, and everything moved so seamlessly. She absolutely blew us away with her decor and florals. It probably looked like a wedding that would have spent triple what we actually did on florals based on the STUNNING flowers. When I asked for a few peonies, she delivered literal buckets of peonies. Everyone was talking to us about how stunning the decor was, and we couldn't agree more. Angel really picked up on what we did and didn't like, helped us identify the most important parts of the day, and made sure we felt special and taken care of with little things we wouldn't think of already planned for in advance. She also kept everything running smoothly but in a relaxed way that was not pushy or frustrating for guests, and kept us on schedule while allowing for extra time for things as they came up. We could not recommend Angel any more highly. She is truly a lifesaver and made our day unbelievably special and perfect.

I'm obsessed with Charlene! She was a dream to work with. She brought such professionalism to our hectic event. We were planning a wedding at a personal property, meaning we had to supply every single vendor and she handled everything amazingly. She wrangled the vendors prior to the day of and she helped me keep my cool during the stress of the morning. You can tell she's a pro at this! There were times I felt a little underwater in terms of managing an event I had no experience with, and her demeanor was so calming and she handled any last minute things.

I can’t recommend Victoria enough! I reached out to her nearly two years ago with what I thought was a “laundry list” of questions, and I’ll be honest—I was skeptical at first about hiring a wedding planner. I wasn’t sure if it would be worth the investment. But Victoria immediately put my worries to rest with her detailed, thoughtful responses. From that very first interaction, I knew she was the right choice. I initially booked her vendor package, where she scheduled and coordinated all of our vendors, but eventually upgraded to include decor and other little details because, honestly, wedding planning can get overwhelming! Victoria was my rock throughout the entire process—especially in the week leading up to our big day. As someone who tends to overthink, having her there to guide me, reassure me, and manage the details was priceless. On our wedding day, everything went off without a hitch. Victoria’s attention to detail and calm presence ensured that the day was as perfect as we had imagined. My only regret? Not snapping a photo with her amidst all the excitement! If you’re considering a wedding planner, Victoria is worth every penny. She doesn’t just plan weddings—she creates an experience that allows you to truly enjoy your day without stress

Erica and her team were amazing. We mostly planned the wedding ourselves but we needed someone on the day bring it all together. They helped us keep on schedule and decorated the venue beautifully. Even though we didnt use them to their fullest potential, they still shined and made everyone feel comfortable and calm. Some guests have commented afterwards asking about the tall beautiful planner we hired and how professional she was. I would recommend this team.

My husband and I knew we needed a day of coordinator because on our wedding day he wanted me to finally check out and relax! As someone who is very type a, I didn't want to not enjoy my actual wedding because I was so focused on details. Like most venues we had a Bridal Attendant who was great, but I can't speak enough about how a day of coordinator is so necessary. There really were so many moving parts that day and Mia took care of all of it. Her involvement allowed my mom and mother in law to be able to actually have fun. It was great to see! Leaving the pressure of getting things right on the day of to Mia and her team was the best decision I made! She was actually the first vendor we hired. It was truly a non negotiable for us! We chose Mia because she was able to really walk us through the entire process and answer all of the questions we had with the least amount of fluff! When we hired Merry we decided to pay a little extra for a second on site coordinator and that ended up being a great choice! Her team worked directly with our venue to make sure everything was where it needed to be and when it needed to be there. I was also able to assign someone to my husband and the groomsmen so that they felt special and taken care of! We even had one small thing that came up that because of the conversations we had she knew exactly what to do. It was super windy on the day of and our ceremony was in a tent that was supposed to be open to the water views. The venue ultimately left them open but she made an executive decision (found me quickly to re-confirm) to close the panels/curtains and it saved our guests from freezing and not being able to actually hear the ceremony. She also made sure that all of the things we really cared about (pictures, moments etc) were captured! We'd hire Merry by Mia a thousand times over!

Abibi Bridal made our wedding day look and feel so easy and special. They were like superheroes, handling everything with professionalism and care. We contacted them just 3 months before our wedding on 10/09, but they made our dream wedding happen in that short period of time. Abibi Bridal is simply amazing - I would recommend them a million times over. We are so happy and grateful for all their hard work in making our special day perfect.

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. ️
