Abby & Aubrey with BOE are the most amazing people I've ever met! I know what you are thinking...do I even need a wedding planner/coordinator. The answer is YES! They are so worth it! Planning a wedding during a pandemic is stressful enough, but when our venue breached our contract a month before the wedding, BOE did not hesitate to help us start over. They helped re-plan the wedding & make it even better. They assisted in coordinating with our vendors & making our wedding vision come to life. But that's not all! I can't even describe all the things they did that went above & beyond for us. Aubrey talked me off the ledge a few times when I was a panicking bride due to the changes & pandemic stress. They are so organized & had everything PERFECTLY set up on our wedding day. As a torrential downpour began 5 minutes before the ceremony start time, they literally ran in the rain to reset the ceremony site. They were always there to answer my emails & phone calls with my millions of questio... Read morens and always gave the best advice. I cannot imagine how my wedding would have gone without them. As you know, the bride & groom are very busy on their wedding day & having the extra set of hands & the unmeasurable professionalism and experience of Aubrey & Abby took all my stress away. They stayed with us the entire night, kept things on track, & assisted if we needed ANYTHING. Aubrey & Abby must have re-bustled my dress like 5 times due to all the dancing. Not only were they excellent wedding planners, but they are so nice! They genuinely advised us and gave suggestions as if it was their own wedding. Do not hesitate to book them for your wedding! Believe me you NEED them! Even if you feel you have everything handled, having them there the day of to pull off all the finishing touches to make your day perfect is worth it! They are not just another wedding vendor; they will become your FRIENDS! I cannot thank them enough for everything they have done that made our wedding absolutely perfect!

Abby and her team were absolutely wonderful to work with. I am so happy that we found her early on in our wedding planning process because I cannot imagine pulling off the magical wedding day we had without her. Our venue was a “blank slate” venue that required finding and bringing in vendors for every part of our wedding. Abby had great recommendations for everything and was so helpful in managing all of the vendor communications leading up to the event and managing the set up and timeline the day of. I can truly say that I had a stress free wedding planning experience all thanks to Abby. She kept me on track with planning, and it was so nice knowing I didn’t have to worry about any of the details on our wedding day because Abby and her team had them all covered. I cannot recommend Blue Orchid Events enough!

I cannot rave enough about Abby and her team.  From the moment my husband and I got engaged, I immediately became overwhelmed by the amount of options, websites, and ideas that are out there. Abby was the first planner I met with that was not only professional and knowledgeable, but was clearly going to be a resource and ally to help me navigate floral arrangements, photography choices, and more decisions that I ever could have imagined.  From day one she helped turn my chaotic brainstorm into a picture perfect reality, creating a wedding that was more beautiful than I ever could have imagined.  I say with zero exaggeration that there is no way I could have walked down the isle without her.

Abby, We are so happy to have meet you by chance while looking for a venue for my daughter Jenna's wedding. I knew instantly you were the planner we should choose. You have been the best support helping us to plan a wedding during this crazy year, 2020 ! We could not have pulled this off without all your help with logistics, contracts, meetings in person and on Zoom. You were so organized, loving and kind. I just can't thank you enough!

Abby and her team at Blue Orchid Events made my wedding day the best day of my life. I know that sounds cliche but it is true. I couldn't have been happier. She saved me money, organized everything, and made the day really special. What surprised me was how relaxed I was on the wedding day. I got to eat and enjoy my friends and family. I don't think many brides can say that. I worked with Abby on my wedding for a year and enjoyed every minute of it. I would highly recommend Blue Orchid Events to anyone who is looking for an amazing wedding planner in the Ft. Lauderdale/Miami area.

There are truly not enough positive things we can say about our experience with Blue Orchid Events & Design. Abby & her team are an incredible group that will help you create the wedding of your dreams. I met Abby at the Ft.Lauderdale Wedding Expo just a month after getting engaged. I was in search for a full wedding planning service because I was overwhelmed & had no idea where to start. From my very 1st interaction with Abby, she was extremely professional & confident. She immediately put my worries to rest & once we hired her company, she got to work right away on creating an organized timeline on what we needed to get done in the 9 months leading up to our wedding. What I loved was that she treated the whole process as a true collaboration, giving us ideas & vendors that would fit into our vision & budget, but still allowing us to ultimately make all of the final decisions. She attended every vendor meeting with us, & was available anytime we needed her. She & her team designed the...

She truly turned our dream wedding into a reality, and we will forever be grateful! Our family & friends were blown away by the incredible atmosphere they created for our entire wedding day. If you’re looking for an event planner that is professional, attentive, patient, trustworthy, passionate about her craft, & who truly has her clients’ best interest at heart, Abby/ Blue Orchid Events & Design is by far your BEST choice!!

We approached Abby in December 2018 with a request that may have frightened any other planner. We needed a wedding planned in about 5 months and wanted it to be adventure and travel themed. On top of that, my now-husband and I work crazy hours and often travel for work so aren't always available when needed. Abby not only took on the challenge like a pro but she was the most competitive in terms of pricing out of the many planners we spoke to. Abby walked us through every step of the way, and saved us a LOT of time by handling all the communication with vendors herself and the planning on their end, so that we wouldn't need be bothered. She went out of her way to have phone conferences or meetings during non-business hours, whether early in the day or later at night, so that we wouldn't need to stress with our work schedules. On the day off she was crucial to helping us keep our calm so that we could focus on the happiness of the wedding itself. She did everything from taking all our p...

We truly could not have had out fun wedding without her and I think any bride needs to do themselves a favor and make sure to hire her!

Abby and her assistant Ryanne were so amazing! I highly recommend working with Abby and would definitely hire her again and again. I started planning my wedding with Abby about a year in advance. She was always so involved and attentive to every detail and super accessible. My wedding theme and colors ended up changing a few months before the wedding, Abby totally re-adjusted to make sure my vision and what I was imagining for the big day came to play without any issues. I went through lots of ups and downs in the planning process, especially due to COVID and several new restrictions but Abby was always reassuring and ready to pivot as needed. My wedding day turned out absolutely perfect, Abby and her assistant Ryanne arrived early to help set up and really made sure everything was exceptional. They were both so caring and excited for me on such a special day, I’m forever thankful to have had them there. Ryanne even helped make sure that my Zoom call with family in Brazil worked out ...

Words cannot describe how amazing my wedding experience was!!! As someone who had very little time to plan a wedding, I was so thankful to have found Abby's company online. From our very first call, she possessed everything I was looking for in a wedding planner, including professional, organized, creative, knowledgeable, patient, and sweet. As someone who also lives in Boston, I appreciated how Abby took the time to drive us from one venue to another while we were visiting Fort Lauderdale. She spent 16 hours with us for over 2 days! What I also love about Abby is that she has established incredible relationships with vendors in the Fort Lauderdale and surrounding towns. So not only are you hiring Abby and her team, but you're also getting introduced to amazing people who will make your day even more special!! As you can see, the value you get for having a wedding planner by your side from start to finish doesn't come close to what you pay. Do yourself a favor, get a wedding p...

Abby and Aubrey are the absolute best! I hired them as our "month of coordinator" and their dedication to our wedding was worth every penny. Looking back at all of the last minute changes that had to occur, my family and I don't know what we would have done without their help and instant solutions for anything that came up. Something is always bound to pop up and surprise you the day of the wedding but with Abby and Aubrey there everything turns out better than expected. :)

Abby and her team are simply wonderful. We had hired Abby to help execute our month-of plans and logistics for our destination wedding pre-Covid. Around 6 weeks out from our original wedding date in the Spring, we made the decision to postpone another 8 months. This was a difficult decision and Abby, although not technically contracted to provide any assistance quite yet, made a point to be available and helpful as we navigated a truly unprecedented process that was at times confusing and discouraging, never mind the emotional stress of it all. She always went above and beyond. As the pandemic dragged on, so did the constant pivots and changes we had to make to our wedding plans. We ultimately downsized our wedding from 230 guests to 30 taking multiple precautions around testing, etc. The planning seemed to never end, and Abby was agile and on top of it. We had a series of obstacles to overcome from our venue staff, guest count, changes to the itinerary and throughout it all Abby was ... Read moreby our side and encouraging. Her professionalism is unmatched and her kindness and patience is a gift. Most of all we enjoyed getting to know her and having her with us when our wedding finally arrived was amazing. She was a calming force and totally in charge. Thank you Abby and Aubrey!!

I hired Blue Orchid Events for their Month-Of-Coordination package and I am so so happy that I did. I had pretty much planned every detail of the wedding on my own (with some help from my now husband and our families/bridal party), but I knew that I would need help with the timeline of the day and thus hired Abby and her team. Exactly one month before the big day, I received a message from Dana who had been assigned to be my main point of contact.. and essentially best friend for the next few weeks. I honestly thought that all of the details had been taken care of but Dana thought of the smallest little details that I didn’t even realize needed to be taken care of. We had so many things happen in those weeks… two heartbreaking, unexpected deaths in our families, funerals, unanticipated travel, you name it.. But Dana was extra supportive and worked around all of this to create an amazing timeline and plan for our day. After 13 months of planning, I made it to the rehearsal w... Read moreithout any nervousness or anxiety. I was completely at peace knowing that everything was being handled and would go on without a hitch the following day. Well, as we all know, we can plan all we want but some things are simply out of our control. On the afternoon of our wedding we had crazy traffic that we did not anticipate and it caused a lot of our family and friends (my own parents included) to completely miss out on the cocktail hour at our venue! My dad requested that we extend everything one hour and Dana made that happen with ease! I honestly don’t know what time we had our toasts or what time we did our parent dances but I do know that Dana guided us along, adjusted when we decided to cut things out, listened to us when we needed a minute and made it so that my husband and I enjoyed the whole night. We danced, we drank and we had fun with our loved ones. I had zero concerns that whole day, even with the delays, because I trusted Dana (and her assistant Aubrey) wholeheartedly. The whole night was incredible and I truly have Dana, Aubrey, Abby & the whole Blue Orchid team to thank for that. I recommend them to any couple who is looking to have their cake and eat it too! Seriously, March 7th was a dream come true! Thank you again for everything!

My mom urged me to hire day-of wedding planners, which I was so happy I did. Given what I know now, I would have hired this planner for the entire wedding! I felt perfectly at ease for the month leading up and the day of. They were logical and practical throughout the entire process- which is exactly what I wanted in a planner. Even my husband said that they truly drove the success of our wedding. I can’t thank them enough for ensuring a perfect wedding day. This is a must hire!

Abby and her team were amazing! No detail was missed. We were so grateful to have her. We were so impressed with how perfectly our wedding day went. Thank you, Abby!
