Hi! I'm Brooklyn - the owner! I'm 22 years old & happily married to my best friend, Michael. Traveling is a huge part of our lives, WDW is our happy place, & our next adventure is never far away. When I'm not at a wedding, you can find me in the flower shop or doing some *light* retail therapy. I recently graduated from KSU with a B.S. in Hospitality & Event Management. I have had the opportunity to work with some amazing couples & vendors in several states. I even spent time in FL working closely with one of the world's leading entertainment companies bringing hundreds of fairytale weddings & events to life. Now, I'm making magic of my own!

Awarded Best of Zola
I had the pleasure of working with Brooklyn Rain Brides LLC on several occasions, and Brooklyn consistently impressed me with her top-tier communication, quick responsiveness, and professional yet friendly approach. The quality of her work is amazing - she is well-organized, detail-focused, and excellent at maintaining communication with all vendors. For the styled shoots that I worked with at, Brooklyn expertly handled the setup, controlled all the details, and ensured seamless coordination with everyone involved. I can't wait to collaborate with them again on a real wedding day and see their magic in action once more.

  • Starts at $900
  • Serves Athens, OH

The Black Barn Event Planning is dedicated to designing a spectacular event, and the creation of memories that will last a lifetime. We believe that even the smallest details can have immense impact and meaning. We design dream events into reality and create events that are inspired by our clients visions. We work collaboratively, while providing assistance and guidance on your event, with the purpose of creating a thoughtful and envisioned celebration.

I can not be more grateful and pleased with Sam if I tried!! I hired her for The Day of Coordinator to help everything run smoothly. Her professionalism & knowledge was just what we needed to make this happen. Her sweet personality was a huge bonus and made us feel so comfortable and at ease. The communication between her and my daughter was excellent. Sam was very prompt with answering any of my daughter’s questions prior, during and after the wedding. Her service fee is VERY reasonable. She traveled from Dayton, three hours each way, for the rehearsal and for the wedding !! Sam and her team helped box all the centerpieces and miscellaneous items while we were still enjoying the evening. This was a huge help and I was very thankful for the extra time that was freed up for us to spend with family and friends. There was a small hiccup with our food caterer and Sam quickly jumped in and solved the problem. I could not have asked for a more perfect day for my daughter, it was everything she dreamed of and we were all stress free thanks to Sam. I would HIGHLY recommend The Black Barn Event Planning. Sam is amazing at what she does!!

Let's face it, every couple needs wedding planning help and traditional full-blown wedding planning is super expensive! At The Venlist, we're providing a modern way for busy couples to get wedding planning help at a price point that fits their budget from coast to coast.

Awarded Best of Zola
We LOVED working with Brittany. We had monthly meetings with her for over a year, from the venue search phase to the handoff to our month-of coordinator, and she was so helpful. She helped us with the searches for everything—venue, DJ, photography, day-of coordination, flowers, catering—and provided us timelines and organization tools that were genuinely invaluable. We had very little idea going in exactly what was needed to plan a wedding, but Brittany’s collaboration made us feel very on top of things. She also worked with us to troubleshoot things when issues arose (like our flower provider not following some of our communication requests). And an added bonus is that she’s fun to hang out with lol—we really enjoyed our monthly meetings!! Would absolutely recommend the Venlist (and Brittany specifically)!

Awarded Best of Zola
Being new to planning a wedding, we had no idea what we were signing up for. Quickly into the planning process, we realized we needed help to pull off our special day. The process of finding a day-of coordinator felt overwhelming—until we found MK Events. Their sign-up process was a breeze, with a low initial booking fee that was incredibly helpful as we budgeted for our big day. The clarity with which they outlined their duties gave us the confidence we needed to know we were in capable hands. I truly cannot think of a single critique. Without Melissa and Kourtney, I would have felt completely overwhelmed. They held everything together with such grace, a fun spirit, and a calm demeanor that was not only infectious but grounding and very much needed on a day filled with heightened emotions. They became more than just coordinators—they were a safe space and a solid support system beyond what I can express in words. A moment that stands out in particular was when I had almost given up on the vision I had for our altar. I had 100% resigned myself to the fact that it just wasn’t going to happen. But Melissa and Kourtney went above and beyond to make it a reality. The way they brought that vision to life, down to the smallest detail, left me incredibly thankful. And the fact that they loaded everything back into the U-Haul at the end of the night was really an incredible help! Every part of the experience with Melissa and Kourtney was exceptional. Their calm and positive energy was exactly what we needed to counterbalance the inevitable stress of the day. We were even treated to a lovely surprise when they sent us some candid background photos they had taken and a lovely bouquet of our table flowers for both me and my fiancée, as well as our parents. Their willingness to step in and handle any task, from filling vases with stones and sand to troubleshooting last-minute issues, was beyond what we ever expected. These women are true superstars. We initially booked MK for day-of coordination because we didn’t realize how much would fall on us. We found ourselves becoming increasingly overwhelmed with all the tasks—decorating, moving decor, coordinating vendors and family photographers, and so much more. That’s when Melissa and Kourtney stepped in, and we couldn’t have been more grateful. Thank you, MK Wedding Coordination, for being the rock that held our wedding together. You made our day not just possible, but perfect.

Our experience with SoCo 36 Events was nothing short of incredible. From the very beginning, the communication with Sara was clear, robust, and professional, providing us with the expertise and support in design and coordination we were looking for . Her invaluable expertise, attention to detail, and dreamy design sensibility truly made our wedding day flawless. Sara pulled together a creative and personalized design that perfectly captured our style and intention - to have an intimate, intentional, and fun celebration. She and her team took over vendor communications about a month out, organizing and executing our entire day in a way that allowed it flow so smoothly. In such a special, yet busy, season of our lives this was so helpful to know that the tactical details were all taken care of leading up to and on our wedding day. This allowed us to be present and soak up our celebration, which is what was the most important to us. Sara is as genuine as she is talented, going above and beyond in every single way to make our day special. We are forever grateful that we had Sara and SoCo 36 Events on our team. In addition to our wedding day being so dreamy, we gained a friend throughout the process. If you are considering hiring a coordinator/planner or design, DO IT. Specifically, with Sara and SoCo 36 Events.

Michigan native and avid world traveler with a specialty in planning and coordinating all events from weddings, engagements, proposals, and destination weddings! I’d love to hear more about your wedding vision and eventually bring it to life!

Reem, our wedding planner, was so professional and great at communication every step of the way. She's an absolute perfectionist, and her attention to detail really shone through in the beautiful, elegant results she delivered. We live in a different state and only had our wedding in Michigan because of family and friends who live here, but Reem made everything from start to finish seem so effortless. When I started planning this on my own, I was stressed and a total bridezilla, but once I found Reem, she took care of everything. Our guests were amazed by how seamless and perfect the whole wedding was - it's one big beautiful memory thanks to Reem's incredible work.

Maggie Mitchell Events

Based in Cleveland, Ohio, Maggie Mitchell Events is a wedding and event planning company. This team's mission is to provide effortless and unforgettable events. They are here to advocate for and create ever-lasting relationships with every client, so you can feel comfortable and entrust them with planning your most special day.

I cannot say enough good things about Maggie as a wedding planner and person. We hired Maggie to plan our wedding from start to finish and it was the best decision we made. To offer context, we tasked Maggie with taking an old, rather outdated country club, and asked her to transform the venue all while managing accommodations for over 260 people. Additionally, the country club was a complete blank canvas which required us to bring in vendors for every single detail. Not only did Maggie handpick top-notch vendors and successfully manage them all, but she did so with the most calm and pleasant demeanor. The country club manager said that out of the many wedding planners he has worked with over the years, Maggie is by far the best because she was enjoyable to work with and incredibly good at her job. We couldn't agree more. My entire family is thankful for Maggie and what she did for us. She was a rockstar from the moment we met her and even after the wedding when she kindly held a ton of wedding supplies at her home so that we didn't have to worry about grabbing them the day after the wedding. As a bride who has dreamed of her wedding day for as long as I can remember, I can confidently say Maggie Mitchell Events made my dreams come true!

Alison did an exceptional job as the day of coordinator for my wedding! She was an excellent communicator, ia extremely organized in a way my mostly type-A brain needed, helped me work through things I hadn't even thought of leading up to the big day, and was instrumental in making our wedding and reception a smooth, seamless process. At least, it seemed like that to me I had nothing to worry or stress about the day of, and I have to give her credit for that! My biggest regret is not having found her sooner, because I would've loved her assistance in planning our wedding and helping with travel arrangements for our out of town guests. Thanks again Alison, you were an integral part in our big day!

Oh, also the venue team has never hosted a wedding before!!! B&K handled it perfectly. I truly don't know what we would have done without them.
