When looking for a venue, we did not a barn. Then we stumbled upon the Heritage barn and met the Dunham family and instantly knew this is where we wanted to have our wedding. It truly was the best weekend of our lives and we had so much fun! Every single detail was exactly how we wanted it thanks to Allie and Ken and the rest of the crew. They worked with our vendors to make sure our day was perfect. If we could host another event there we totally would. We booked the venue for the entire weekend so we were able to stay on property Friday and Saturday night with all of our best friends. My husband and I had the honeymoon cottage for the night of our wedding and it was so cute! Best weekend ever.

Awarded Best of Zola
I am honestly not even sure where to start. Charmaine was absolutely incredible. Originally, my husband and I were very nervous about hiring a florist. I mean, flowers are expensive! After a few weeks of wedding planning, however, we realized that we couldn't do it all ourselves. That's when we reached out to Charmaine. During our first call, I explicitly expressed our budget concerns with her. She made sure to keep our concerns in mind throughout the entire process, and the results were beautiful flowers that were right in our price range! Charmaine was consistently professional, kind, and she always responded to my texts and calls within minutes. Even though I hired her as a florist, she turned out to be a wonderful wedding planner as well! The florals were absolutely stunning! She went above and beyond for both the ceremony and reception. We received so many complements on them. I cannot recommend her enough for weddings and events!

  • Serves Hamilton, NY

I was born and raised in Central New York. I am a military wife, that married her high school sweetheart. We are your typical family with 2 kids, 2 dogs and 2 cats. We even have that dreamy white picket fence. I started working weddings and events in Syracuse as a server, and realized that event planning was my dream job. I have worked my way up the ladder and decided that it was time to branch out on my own. My years of experience in wedding and event planning have required me to have a sharp eye for detail, excellent problem-solving skills and work in fast paced environments to make planning fun and events less stressful!

Beth is AMAZING at what she does. We could not have survived our wedding without her. She is confident, organized and very knowledgeable. She also brought a lot of fun energy! She helped us address a lot of little details we never considered. When we needed guidance she helped us figure out what we want. She directed us to other incredible vendors like our photographer. As it got close to the wedding she was always available and quick to respond. She even added an extra meeting when I was stressed and felt like I needed to make sure we were on the right path with getting things done. When I started to panic about decor she sent me photos and even doodles to help me envision it which was not only helpful but made me laugh. Her and her team made our day so amazing and memorable. I can't say enough great things about her. She instilled so much confidence that we just knew if anything happened she would take care of it. We had absolute faith and trust in her and she handled everything perfectly. She took so much stress off of us. The coordination was very reasonably priced and she helped with all the set up and break down which I found that to be not included with a lot of other places- worth every penny. After our wedding everything was packaged up right by the door so we just packed the cars and left. If you're on the fence, definitely book with this company, you'll be so glad you did!!!!

Amazing doesn’t even begin to describe the experience we had with our wedding at the Inns of Aurora. We cannot thank Kim, Breanna, Alistair, Taylor, Julia, and the entire team enough for making everything seamless from start to finish. They handled every detail, answered every question, and made the entire process effortless. What stood out most, though, was how genuinely warm and welcoming everyone was. The venue itself is breathtaking. We planned everything at the Rowland House, and it was the perfect size for our party of 30. The house, property, and rooms were beautiful—living up to the photos and then some. And the food was absolutely delicious; everything that came out of the kitchen felt both home-cooked and elevated. If you’re looking for a place that’s not only beautiful but also filled with people who make your day feel truly special, this is it.

Every detail was executed to perfection, and they brought the Market to life. Our guests have not stopped raving about how amazing the space was, and we have Courtney and her team to thank! She expertly managed all of our vendors, knew the contracts backwards and forwards, and made it so we had nothing to do ourselves on our wedding day. We highly recommend Courtney and her team for your wedding!

Hands down the best professional makeup I’ve ever had! Hannah did my makeup along with my maids of honor, mother and mother of the groom. Not only is she extremely talented and easy to communicate with, but she was such a kind, sweet and professional presence on the day of my wedding. I did my trial on my bday (highly recommend) and didn’t want to change a thing for the wedding! My wedding day was the most beautiful I’ve ever felt thanks to Hannah. Her air brush makeup felt refreshing going on and felt light all day. She used the perfect colors for my cool toned skin and exceeded my expectations! I went for youthful, blushy, doll-like. My girls and moms loved their makeup as well, regardless of whether they asked for natural or glam, everyone looked incredibly radiant.

Your wedding can feel daunting, confusing, and downright overwhelming. But it doesn’t have to be! My passion is to support you in a way that takes the pressure off, so that you can fully enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime day!

Brooke is an absolute gem and I feel so lucky that we were referred to her. I told her early on that I did not expect to personally have any fun on my wedding day, and all because of Brooke, I had without a doubt, the best day of my entire life. What a phenomenal way to kick of our marriage. We went back and forth on getting a planner, but finally decided that having a day-of coordinator would probably alleviate a lot of stress. Brooke went above and beyond what we expected from a day-of, always offering to take on tasks that seemed too overwhelming for us (finding shuttles, hotel blocks). She was responsive and routinely checked in on us formally and informally. Imagine our shock when we learned she was giving us so much attention and professionalism while she was in the middle of planning her OWN wedding just months before our date! If she was stressed by that, she never showed it, and she even offered us some advice based on her own personal experiences. I had never been in a wedding so I was not at all privy to what goes into planning. Brooke was totally on board with shirking some traditions while prioritizing what we valued most (sentimentality, personalization, guest experience). She made suggestions, but never made us feel pressured to do anything. I wanted full control over several aspects of the wedding and she never made me feel like I was not capable or stupid for, say, wanting to do my own flowers. During our meetings, she was organized and efficient and I always felt better after speaking with her. She made an effort to get in contact with all of our vendors and important people so that everyone could be on the same page for the weekend. She had never done a wedding at our venue (the Ithaca Farmers Market) and made an effort to acquaint herself with the space and (very thorough) procedures beforehand. Brooke is not only professional, flexible, and organized, She is also exactly the person you want with you on your wedding day. I have 2 ways of responding to stress – being a goof and being a snappy, rude b**** and Brooke responded to both with total grace and kindness. She gave me the space to crack jokes during the rehearsal, certainly dragging out the process, which made me feel like it was still OUR wedding and not someone else’s idea of a wedding. If something wasn’t going exactly the way I wanted (e.g. my dad forgot something important at the hotel), I would often take out my frustration on Brooke who would receive it, speak kindly to me, and smile (when what I really deserved sometimes was a slap). She has a way of making you feel seen, heard, and safe, which is exactly what you need when everyone’s eyes are on you. And it was not just me, everyone totally adored her and appreciated her presence. What was really important to me, is that to the extent there were any mistakes/miscommunications (inevitable!) Brooke always took accountability and never tried to redirect blame (even if it was not hers to accept). I really respect this in a person and did not find a ton of it in the wedding planning industry otherwise. Overall, Brooke listens, works super hard, treats you like a dear friend, lets you be yourself.

The staff at Tailwater made our big day unforgettable, not only for us, but for our guests too! They took care of every detail, and we felt like fast friends with the staff! I can't recommend them enough for any large event if you want to know it will be done right. Our guests are still raving about the food, the amenities, the venue, and the views of the river!

I have been a floral designer for over 20 years. I enjoy working with flowers and seeing the happiness they bring to people. I firmly believe in quality floral product, providing the best customer service, while staying affordable. I am a woman-owned business and try to support local growers in the finger lakes area.

Rachel was great to work with! She is personable and took great care in discussing options and finding the right fit for what we wanted. My direction wasn’t super specific and Rachel did an incredible job making floral choices that fit our vision. Rachel is also very transparent with pricing and what options could be more economical—which is very helpful during the wedding planning process. Our flower budget was relatively small and I was so impressed by how decorated everything looked. She set everything up flawlessly and I cannot thank her enough for her beautiful work. Would strongly encourage anyone looking for flowers to work with Rachel! Emma

The moment we chose our venue, booking DJ Peter Naughton was our very next step and we are so glad we did. After reading his stellar reviews, exploring his helpful blog posts, and hearing from the Lincklaen House team how amazing he is, we knew we’d be in good hands. But even with all the high praise, Peter still exceeded every single expectation. His organization blew our minds. He crafted a beautifully detailed wedding timeline that helped us stay on track and calm throughout the planning process. He was proactive, communicative, and so generous with his time and expertise. From coordinating our wedding party’s grand entrance to perfectly trimming down the verses of our first dance songs, Peter made everything feel effortless. He honored every single request and preference we had and then some. His thoughtful approach and seamless behind-the-scenes coordination made the entire day run smoothly. The energy he brought to our reception was unmatched, and the dance floor was never empty. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the music and how talented our DJ was! Peter’s uplighting choices brought our space to life, and his attention to every little detail was something we’ll never forget. He truly cares and that’s what makes him extraordinary. I’m actually writing this the very next morning because he deserves a review this glowing. He was simply the best decision we made. Thank you, Peter, for everything!
