Hello! I’m Kaileigh, owner of Weddings by Kaileigh, LLC. I established my business in April 2023, and I have been working diligently to learn as much as I can! I’ve been a teacher for the last 10 years, so planning and coordinating comes naturally to me. I also run the hospitality committee at my school! I have spent time as a travel agent, organizing and planning vacations. I’m also a mom of two amazing, little humans! I love to garden, be outside and go adventuring with my kids. Last year I decided to take a leap of faith and start my next adventure in the wedding planning industry, and got my wedding planning certificate.

Weddings by Kaileigh, LLC was an absolute dream to work with from our first meeting until we said goodbye at the venue. Kaileigh's communication was excellent - she was professional, timely, and kept us informed every step of the way. On the day of our wedding, Kaileigh was a calm, professional, and organized presence. She communicated with all of our vendors, kept us and the entire wedding party on schedule, and remained poised throughout the entire event. Kaileigh was so much more than a day-of coordinator - she attended all of our vendor meetings, took detailed notes, and followed up with to-do items. Kaileigh truly managed the entire wedding and made it look effortless. We are so grateful for her and would highly recommend Weddings by Kaileigh, LLC to any couple planning their special day.

I wish I could give 10 stars! I got married two weeks ago after getting engaged at Christmas. Lauren spent 6 months helping me curate the beautiful wedding of my dreams! Her attention to detail and kindness helped me way beyond expectation given the short timeframe. In every facet, Lauren took my creative vision and figured out how we could logistically make it all happen. She is thorough and organized - creating seamless timelines and checklists to ensure everything was done and went smoothly on my big day. Lauren has a truly creative eye and she gives GOOD & honest feedback. This helped me quickly and confidently make decisions. Lauren effectively handled communication with each of my vendors, and even went wedding dress shopping with me! She is kind, smart, laid back, and truly fun to be around. Her calm nature soothed my wedding day nerves and she easily delegated all of the day of tasks for my backyard wedding.

When it became my turn to plan my dream wedding, I knew I wanted more. I loved every moment of wedding planning, and was actually thankful that COVID forced us into having the most magical, intimate, micro wedding of our dreams. After this blissful turn of events, and more and more mutual contacts reaching out for help to plan their weddings, I have set out to help other brides live out their dream wedding and getting back to what marriage is all about… love. Because after all, it’s a forever thing.

Working with Brittany was an absolute dream come true! From the initial consultation to the big day, she was nothing short of amazing. Not only was she incredibly organized and punctual, but her responsiveness truly put my mind at ease throughout the entire planning process. Brittany went above and beyond to ensure that every detail of our wedding was perfect. Her attention to detail and dedication to making our vision a reality truly exceeded our expectations. What truly sets Brittany apart is her warm and personable nature. She took the time to get to know us as a couple, which made the entire experience feel personal and special. On the day of the wedding, I felt completely at ease knowing that she had everything under control, allowing me to fully immerse myself in the moment and enjoy every second of our special day. I cannot recommend Brittany highly enough. If you're looking for someone who is not only professional and organized but also genuinely cares about making your wedding day unforgettable, look no further. Thank you, Brittany, for making our wedding day the best day of our lives!

Hi there! My name is Liv and I am a New England born event planner. Being the youngest of 12 cousins, I went to my fair share of weddings growing up. I naturally fell in love with seeing the first chapter of my friends and families life begin. I’ve worked with some of the best vendors in the Seacoast, learning and growing as much as possible. In October 2021, I took a leap of faith and opened my own business! I'll never take for granted being able to work with clients I love, doing what I love. Let’s make your dream wedding a reality!

Awarded Best of Zola
It is not unusual for wedding planning to begin more than a year in advance of your big day. Venue, flowers, decor, churches (bring your own priest which is a thing), engagement photos, DJ, wedding party, save the dates, invitations. The list DOES. NOT. STOP. With all of these moving parts it really makes you wonder how such a complex event can happen without the slightest issue and seemingly end before you know it. Well, Liv is our reason. After months of planning, and picking, and choosing, and changing, and scrapping ideas our bandwidth for creativity and follow-through was wearing thin. Liv saved the day. She seamlessly coordinated communications between all parties and vendors to ensure that everyone was on the same page. I will honestly say that without her our day would not have come together like it did. Everyone tells you that something will inevitably go wrong regardless of how thorough your planning. Liv didn’t let that happen. The groomsmen forgot tie clips. Liv ran 5 blocks to pick up tie clips for the boys and was back before the girls even arrived at the church. Her foresight and planning were impressive but her ability to think and adjust on the fly is what made our day go off with zero issues. We cannot thank Liv enough for her help. Do yourself a favor and let Liv take it from here. Thank you again!!!

My husband and I hired Madison as our day of coordinator. We did not hire a florist and ended up doing a lot of DIY projects for our wedding decor. We really wanted a professional to help us with setup and take-down of decor on the wedding day, so as not to burden our family/friends and take them away from the event to help. Madison was so friendly in the months leading up to the wedding and offered us lots of helpful advice on things we didn't even think to prepare for, like arranging seating charts and timing of processional songs. Our original venue coordinator ended up having to move away just a couple weeks before our wedding day, and Madison took the lead in syncing with the new venue coordinator on all the things we'd talked about. This really helped us out and took a load off our plate in those last few weeks before the wedding! The day of, she came early to the venue and, like a fairy godmother, had incorporated all of our decorations beautifully before we even arrived, so we were able to take lots of photos beforehand! Throughout the event, she cleverly found ways to repurpose some of our decor items to give them a second life, like setting reception flower arrangements along the room's bookshelves to dress them up for the ceremony, making a beautiful display with our ceremony roses and boutonnieres on our memory table, and using me and my bridesmaids' bouquets to create a beautiful sweetheart table arrangement! We were so incredibly thrilled with how well Madison and her team were able to follow our vision and exceed our expectations. A final sweet memory I have from near the end of the night - my hair was getting very tangled with my dress buttons on my back from dancing, and I was overheating and sweaty. Madison and her team arranged my hair into a beautiful low bun style so I could go back and have fun dancing again without worrying about it tangling further or looking bad. :) I'm so thankful we hired Madison as our day of coordinator, and we can't recommend her enough!!

Corinne and Molly made our day so seamless to the point where my husband and I could focus on us and our guests. From our first meeting to the day, they worked through hiccups with vendors that we would have missed and gave us amazing recommendations to make our wedding day perfect. We came ready and prepared with all of our vendors, and they stitched up the final communications for the wedding and made it so seamless, even finding another vendor for napkins 2 hours before the day started because ours forgot them! Not only are they amazing coordinators, but they're amazing people. Any communication that we had with Corinne and/or Molly felt so curated to us, and although we knew that they were coordinating other weddings, it felt that they had all their efforts focused on us. We got married 2 weeks ago and cannot stop talking about how amazing our day was because of them! Fun story as well, my bustle kept falling every 10 seconds and right before our grand entrance I decided to just cut the dress, and Corinne came down with scissors ready to be a seamstress! Anything we needed they always said yes to and we could not have been more grateful to them.

Her communication style was frequent, clear, thoughtful, timely, and she was quick to respond to all of our questions and needs. The quality of her work and the value she provided was excellent-- she is hard-working and was incredibly considerate throughout the entire process. She went above and beyond, offering to bring additional decorations and even showing up the day before to assist with our traditional Vietnamese Tea Ceremony, which was not even on the same day as our official wedding. We had only hired her for her day-of coordination package, but even so, she was a consistent voice and helping hand for us for months leading up to the wedding. I can only imaging if we would have booked her whole wedding planning service, our wedding probably would have somehow been even more perfect than it already was.

At Avenue Design Studio, we began as a floral business, but quickly realized we could offer so much more to our clients. Over our 10+ years of working with couples on those special lifetime moments, we found ourselves stepping in to assist our brides and event clients with planning, vendor coordination, and overall event management. This inspired us to shift our focus and create Avenue Design Studio, a full-service event planning and design company. Whether you’re looking for full-service planning or just need assistance with specific aspects, we provide multiple packages and a la carte options to fit your needs. You dream it, we create it.

From start to finish working with Avenue Design Studio was a fantastic experience! I had an initial call with Chad and based on that I knew they were professionals who could bring my vision to life through floral design and day of coordination. Then they continued to provide clear and open communication throughout the planning process and were able to make suggestions as needed to advance my vision. The week of the wedding I was in contact with Morgan who would be our official day of coordinator. Morgan ended up saving the day when our bartender cancelled on us last minute; she stepped in and bartended on top of coordinating. Then she was able to work with me to donate our flowers to a women’s shelter; a cause that hits close to home for me. I cannot recommend Avenue Design Studio enough!!

Booking Cassie to be my wedding coordinator three months out to my wedding day was the best decision I made in the wedding planning process! I really thought I did not want or need a planner/coordinator, but having Cassie there really allowed me to enjoy my wedding. Cassie was diligent, organized, responsive, and patient. Cassie was so on top of every detail and knew all my vendors’ contracts inside and out! I had done lots of research online to make sure I knew every detail going into the wedding planning process, but there were some things I would not have known and Cassie was able to guide me through. For example, one of my vendors insisted an additional hour of rental time needed to be added to the wedding day (that would have cost me hundreds of dollars) and Cassie advocated for me, citing their contract, that it was not necessary. Cassie was also available to help make decisions regarding decor, helping me decide on pieces that best suited and enhanced the venue. I explained my vision of romantic candles everywhere throughout the event. Cassie and I worked together to shape where everything would go to create the seamless look. Cassie (and her assistant Cammie) made everything look stunning on the wedding day - and expertly packed up everything at the end of the night for us. I thought I could have my sister or family friend be in charge of so many of these tasks, but it was *so nice* delegating this out to a professional so that everyone could enjoy the day. Thank you Cassie for an amazing wedding day! Photo credit of venue photos: Created Coastal Photography

Whether you spent your childhood vacations on the beaches of Maine or grew up in Newport, Rhode Island, the idea of escaping back to New England to celebrate your love story fills you with delight.

Awarded Best of Zola
Originally I thought I could handle wedding planning myself with the help of our venue coordinator -- but as our wedding day approached, the overwhelming amount of logistics planning our wedding from the other side of the country sent me into a tailspin. Enter Charity -- leaving our first discovery call I immediately felt myself relax. It was an easy decision to hire her and my only regret is not hiring her from Day 1! Charity is kind-hearted, detail-oriented, creative, and knows her stuff. We hired her for "Wedding Coordination & Management" 5 months before our wedding, but her support went far beyond our expectations for that sort of service. As soon as we signed our contract, Charity was available to answer any questions I had (even little things like, are real or fake candles better?), and three months out she really dove in. She attended all of our vendor meetings, asking questions we never would have thought of, advocating for our vision, and reassuring our decisions. She managed communications and made sure we and our vendors all stayed on track. When it came to the wedding weekend (9/14/24), Charity was our biggest cheerleader and fierce protector. Leading our rehearsal she made sure to tell everyone that SHE was their point of contact and not to bother myself or my husband the day of the wedding. She arrived on our wedding day before any vendors showed up and stayed until the last vendor left. This woman walked over 14 MILES running around making sure everyone was doing their job and everything was perfectly in place on our wedding day. Our decor was set up perfectly, we ran EARLY on our timeline (I've been in a lot of wedding and know it's a miracle to even be on time), and us and our entire families were able to fully relax, unbothered, knowing that everything was being handled by a pro. When it came to the end of the night, we were able to go enjoy our after party with our guests without worrying about tearing down our event. We woke up the next morning to everything put away neatly back in their boxes ready for us to haul home. Charity's support literally followed through to the very last minute. To those brides whose venues come with a coordinator — I would seriously recommend still hiring Charity. A venue coordinator is not t he same as what Charity offers. That wasn't clear to me before, but it's very clear after. If you want someone who can support coordination across ALL of your vendors, be by your side in the months leading up to the event, and advocate for your vision throughout, do not wait until the end like me! We truly didn't have a single thing go wrong on our wedding day, and I am certain that would not have been the case without Charity! We are eternally grateful for her support and will sing her praises forever! Photo credit: Natalia Paliyenko Photography

Beyond being extremely knowledgeable, professional, and organized, she is upbeat, enthusiastic, and a fun person to share the planning experience with. We can't recommend her and her team enough!

We’ve worked with Hillary for the past two years and continue to be impressed with her professionalism and organizational skills. As a venue, we depend heavily on the full-service or day of wedding planner to ensure all the vendors are managed and we have clarity on what our brides and grooms expect from their day. Hillary is always accessible, perfectly in tune with her clients and clear in her communications about the expectations of the bride and groom through the planning process. She’s also an absolute pleasure to work with even when things get down to the wire. I know when I’m working a wedding with Hillary that it’s going to go well and the bride and groom will be thrilled with their day.

Coast 2 Coast Productions was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding. Their communication was prompt, flexible and thorough in planning every detail. The quality and value of their work was luxurious, top notch and truly one of a kind. They planned every aspect from travel to vendors to our unique venues - like the stunning rooftop rehearsal dinner, fun neighborhood Brooklyn brunch, boat party reception and VIP club afterparty. The accommodation, train and air travel were also seamlessly arranged. We especially loved the kid entertainment! We could not have asked for a better wedding planner. Coast 2 Coast made our special day absolutely amazing from start to finish with their creative, thoughtful, and professional approach. I highly recommend them for any couple wanting a wedding that exceeds dreams and expectations.

Meagan helped to arrange a romantic weekend getaway at Cliff House in Maine with the ultimate plan to propose. She was easy to communicate with and was able to take some of my stress away. Meagan was able to communicate and confirm with the resort to have early check in so we could drop our luggage off in our room before the big surprise. A beautiful LLBean Cliff House embroidered bag was waiting on the table in our room as a welcome gift from her. She also helped book dining reservations for us. Overall I could not recommend Meagan enough! She was so helpful and organized.

If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Lydia and her team took care of things that I didn't even know about. Not only was everything seamless on the wedding day, but for the entire month prior (we booked the month-of package). If you're on the fence about hiring a wedding planner, do it. Hands down the best decision we made for our wedding!!
