I had the opportunity to work with Lee Ramsay Events for our wedding in August. Lee demonstrated the perfect temperament and attention to detail needed. My fiancé is a surgical resident meaning much of the planning was left to me (the groom) and Lee. Lee managed all of the personalities in our wedding party, family, and venue masterfully. We continue to receive compliments days and weeks after about our wedding and the level of organization that made our day flow so well. She was a true joy to work with and all of our other vendors shared that she was one of the best planners they had ever worked with. When we hired Lee, we did not think we needed a full planner, but she more than demonstrated her ability in one of Manhattan’s premier venues. Lee offered other value add services and guidance to making our wedding weekend the perfect one. Her team of bridal attendants and assistants were incredible on Wedding day. I cannot recommend Lee Ramsay Events enough. I am excited to watch her career take off because she is clearly one of NYC’s most talented people in the event space and can handle events large and small.

Talk about making the impossible, possible! I had worked with MVW Events to plan a surprise engagement picnic for my then girlfriend, now wife. Around the time, I was wrapping up my graduate program and set to graduate the day after I planned on proposing. MVW helped me set the vision for the picnic and coordinated sourcing vendors for the right deals on items that would make the moment extra special. With all the details in place, I was confident in what we had planned and was actually less nervous about the whole bended knee thing because of it. Fast forward to the day of and guess what ... It RAINED!! so the park area I had in mind did not allow folks on the grass after fresh rain so we had to change plans on the fly. Morgan and her super creative brain proposed she and her team set up everything in my apartment instead. That way we could have everything we needed for the occasion within arms reach. She even secretly met me while I was out with my partner at a school event to grab my apartment keys and head over to set everything up while I was out. When we got home, when I say the place looked like MAGIC!! We were both blown away (but of course I had an idea of what to expect). And of course, it went perfectly from there. We are now coming on a year happily married and I would not have had the confidence to execute such a plan on my own. THANK YOU Morgan & Team!! 10/10 Recommend!

My goal is to take the stress out of planning so you can focus on celebrating. Let’s turn your dream wedding or honeymoon into reality!

From securing luxurious accommodations for ourselves and our guests to coordinating seamless transportation between multiple locations, Sophie took all of the stress off of our shoulders. Her local knowledge of Miami, etc. was invaluable—she recommended a beautiful boutique hotel and many hidden gems for our honeymoon to boot. Even with some last-minute changes, Sophie handled everything calmly and efficiently, ensuring that every detail was taken care of. Her ability to make the travel aspect of a wedding feel effortless is truly remarkable.

Having you as our 'go to' person was very beneficial and eliminated all the stress that can be part of that big day (and days leading up to it)! Your organization to details as well as time management was key to the success and we are grateful that you and your team were there!

Chelsea Song Events

New York, NY
  • Offers 3 services
  • Starts at $6,500

Hi there! I’m Chelsea. With a keen attention to detail, strong organizational skills, sophisticated aesthetic, and balance between creativity and logistics, I craft personalized, heartfelt celebrations. I combine my design sensibility with exceptional customer service skills to create events that aren’t just memorable, but deeply personal and impeccably managed. And lastly, I’m not just here to be your planner — I hope to build lasting friendships as we create unforgettable moments together.

LGBTQ safe. Type A personality approved. Experience with lesbian weddings (two bridezillas). Awesome team. Communicative and highly organized. 180 person wedding. After having a bad experience with another wedding planner, we found Chelsea Song Events. And thank god, we did. Chelsea immediately put my partner and I at ease. Within a week, Chelsea made us a shared document/spreadsheet where she organized all our vendors, to-do lists, timelines, etc. When I talk about everything was organized (even when to write vows, parent gifts, when to organize bathroom baskets and what to put in them), I mean everything.. Having access to this helped our Type A personalities feel so much better. For months, we met on a regular basis, and Chelsea always came with an agenda to help us focus on what needed to be done or updates about what she had done during those two weeks. There was full transparency which we really appreciated. After hiring some wonky vendors (before we met Chelsea), she pushed to make sure she personally had meetings with them and prepared them to deliver on the day of. She also created design mockups and floor plans so that we could really envision what the venue would look like. The month of the wedding, Chelsea handled everything having to do with vendors and the venue (double checking things, COIs, contacts), giving us brides the time to relax and get excited for the big day (without a to-do list ourselves). And day of, wow! She killed it. She and her team handled everything so that we didn’t have to. We had 180 people and a dozen vendors. But still, every time she saw us, Chelsea assured us everything was perfect (AKA she was putting out fires left and right, but we didn’t know that). And we ran EXACTLY on time, thanks to her. We also heard from so many of our vendors that she was amazing to work with on that side too. It’s difficult to put your trust into someone when planning a wedding, but speaking for myself and my partner, you can trust Chelsea every step of the way. She truly cares about her couples, and she loves what she does. She’s always reachable, great to bounce ideas off of, and wants to make your dream wedding come true. While being a perfectionist planner, Chelsea is also the kindest person. We can’t recommend her enough.

We plan destination and multicultural weddings for modern couples of all genders in Thailand, Germany, France, Italy, and beyond. Certified LGBTQIA-inclusive wedding professional by Equally Wed. Featured on British VOGUE, Wedding Trends Report, H&H Weddings, Asia Wedding Network, and more.

At the beginning of wedding planning pre-Covid19, we didn't think wedding planners were a necessity; surely we can manage everything on our own with the help of family and friends, right? But life happened in ways no one expected, and so we came across Wonders & Weddings. After a brief session in which we discussed what we have envisioned for our wedding and the details of everything we had prepared ourselves, Khun Wannida showed us what "more" we could achieve with her help, and so the process of turning dreams into reality began. Wonders & Weddings were absolutely fantastic. They respected what we wanted for our wedding and they did their absolute best in every way possible; they went above and beyond with every tiny detail we added/removed even when it was so last minute. Were there any hiccups or things that didn't go as planned? Definitely! But W&W made sure to smooth things out and helped us along the way. Looking back now, there were a few things we wished we changed for our wedding, but hiring W&W was not one of them, that's for sure. Thank you so much for making our wedding a once-in-a-lifetime experience worth remembering. We couldn't recommend the team enough!

I'm an anonymous (and very cheesy) writer. Living the dream in New York City. My aim with DZC EVENTS is combining traditions and cultures (where you come from) with freedom and evolution (where you want to be) and creating your wedding from scratch so the ‘spark’ that makes your love so unique is transmitted…

I got married 4 months ago, and Dani was my month of coordinator. She is nothing but AMAZING. I am an extremely detail oriented person and Dani made me feel like every detail was accounted for. She is extremely organized and trusting. She understood our vision and was also so wonderful to chat to on a regular basis She’s relaxed yet organized/ so on top of everything. She makes you feel calmer in times of stress and never gets too authoritative with her opinions. She’s a true collaborator (with you and all the other vendors) and has the best advice. Lastly, and most importantly, I had zero worries the day of my wedding. I knew she had everything handled and that I could trust her and her team 100%. She made everything feel safe. Hire her before she’s not available!!!! You won’t be disappointed.

I’m not even sure where to begin to describe how amazing Events by McKenna is at what they do!! McKenna is the most kind, helpful, and enthusiastic person to assist you during such an important time in your life. She made sure everything went perfectly on our wedding day and every day leading up to it! When we first started our wedding planning journey, we only knew where we wanted to have it, and due to the venue location not regularly being used for weddings, we needed to outsource vendors for everything. That's where McKenna came in and helped us out by hand-picking every vendor that she knew would provide the exact things we were looking for. From catering, florals, furniture rentals, DJ, and all the little details, she knew who would be perfect for the job and she was right about every single one! Every time we had a question or a crazy idea, she had an answer right away and she would do everything she could to make it happen. One thing that we were really hoping for was getting a disco ball above our dance floor, but since we were outdoors, it wasn’t looking promising. McKenna was the one who made sure that we got our disco ball, and it was absolutely perfect! That’s just one example of the many ways McKenna ensured our dream wedding would become a reality. On the day of, McKenna and her team were so efficient and handled everything so that my husband and I could relax and focus on ourselves. We got to our venue and everything was already done and ready to start the day! McKenna was amazing at time management throughout the day, and she was so helpful to not only us, but our families, wedding party and guests as well. Everything went perfectly on schedule and all the crazy ideas that we had came to life with no issues! It was truly the best day of our lives and it wouldn’t have been possible without McKenna’s help! I could write so much more on how incredible Events by McKenna is, but to sum it all up, they are the best choice for your wedding planning and coordinating needs and you will not regret choosing them for your big day!!

Awarded Best of Zola
From our very first interactions with Deliece from the Dhalia team, we knew we had picked a spectacular partner to help plan our summer wedding in the Catskills. In the run-up to our wedding, Deliece was incredibly helpful in every way. She provided candid advice when we asked for it, kept us on schedule, documented everything in detail, let us lead on the things we wanted to organize ourselves, and took the time to understand our vision for our wedding so she could help us prioritize and spend thoughtfully. Where Deliece knew of multiple vendors, she gave us honest advice about whom to hire; where she didn’t, she reached out to her colleagues and was able to get us informed opinions about whom to work with and why. Dhalia was also affordable, especially by comparison with some of the expensive (and overbearing) planners we spoke with. Our wedding itself was flawless - our friends could not stop gushing about how beautiful and well organized everything was, and how much it reflected us as a couple. There is no way we could’ve pulled it off without the Dhalia crew. In fact, I think our single biggest piece of advice coming out of our wedding is that hiring planners is critical - and I can imagine no one better than the Dhalia team. We are so glad we chose to work with them, and we recommend them without reservation to anyone getting married in upstate New York.

About wedding planners in New York, NY

What does a wedding planner do?

Wedding planners offer a range of services, from full-service planning to day-of coordination. Full-service planning can include anything from helping design your events to managing vendors and negotiating contracts. Day-of coordination is more focused on making sure your wedding day goes off without a hitch. In New York, NY, 79% of planners offer day-of coordination and 79% can provide some partial planning services.

What's the cost of hiring a wedding planner in New York, NY?

Wedding planners start at $250 and run up to $200,000 in New York, NY. Quite a range, we know! But keep in mind packages vary tremendously depending on what you’re looking for, so it makes sense to reach out to several planners to find one that can collaborate in the way that’s most helpful (and relaxing) for you.

How much is a day of wedding coordination in New York, NY?

Wedding coordinators start at $150 and run up to $10,000 in New York, NY.

Do I need a wedding planner or a day of coordinator?

Choosing between a wedding planner and day-of coordinator can be tricky! We recommend asking prospective planners about their packages to understand the best fit for your needs and budget. In New York, NY, 73% offer both options, so they can help explain the differences!

Can wedding planners in NYC help with budget management?

Absolutely. A stellar NYC wedding planner doesn't just juggle the aesthetics; they're all about the numbers too. Budget management is typically included in full-service wedding planning packages, which can be really valuable, since these pros have a wealth of knowledge about what things should cost. They also often have strong relationships with other industry professionals that can help you get a better deal. They know New York's wedding market like the back of their hands and are pros at prioritizing expenses to help you stay on track.

How does a wedding planner in NYC handle vendor negotiations?

Imagine your wedding planner as your personal negotiator, armed with charm, experience, and a phone full of contacts. They step into the ring for you, securing deals, upgrades, and those little extras that make all the difference—that's the power of industry connections and savvy-negotiating skills.

What is the backup plan if the wedding planner is unavailable on the wedding day in NYC?

Panic not, savvy planners always have a plan B, C, and even D. Your NYC wedding planner likely has a trusted second-in-command or a team that's briefed on every detail of your day. That said, it’s a good idea to ask about the details of backup plans before you book your wedding planner, and make sure that everything is outlined in your contract in a way that makes you feel comfortable. That way, if life throws a curveball, your wedding won't miss a beat.
