We hired Eutopia Events for day of coordination and we couldn't be happier with them! Ruthie and Lauren absolutely met our expectations and in some cases exceeded them. We had our ceremony on the family farm in Deerfield, MA, so we were all very involved in the planning and details. We had several meetings with Eutopia before the big day and they helped us streamline our plans and remember some important details that can be easily overlooked. Our ceremony was outside on a big open field. We had a reception tent and our ceremony was planned to be outside in the open. We like to think of it as positive thinking to not have a ceremony tent:) Just as the bride was about to walk down the aisle the skies opened up! The confusion and stress created because of the unexpected weather could have been catastrophic, but Eutopia kept their cool and stayed on task directing people to their tables under the tent. Because of their presence and hard work during our crazy day we were able to have a beau... Read moretiful and memorable event. Luckily the weather cleared up after the ceremony and we were able to enjoy the outdoor space for the remainder of the day. We kept saying to each other "we couldn't have done this with out Eutopia". We highly recommend hiring a wedding coordinator because you never know what your wedding day is going to bring, and as the bride and groom you have enough to think about without stressing about the schedule of the day never mind the weather! Eutopia Events is recommended by us with the highest regard. They were very professional, and we always felt very comfortable working with them. We had a wedding to remember that wouldn't have been as great a day as it was with out all their hard work!

Ruthie & Lauren (Eutopia Events) were my life savers. My wedding wouldn't have been possible without them, they took so many of my worries away & alot I'm sure I never knew of :) I can not thank you two enough

Comments from a Groom: As a man faced with the task of helping his future wife plan their wedding, I couldn't have felt more out of my element. The thought of picking out color patterns, flowers, dresses, etc, made me sick. However, the thought that my wife was going to stressed out on her wedding day was something I simply couldn't deal with. Ruthie and Lauren did an excellent job helping the Bride make all of these choices, without our budget and timeline in mind - assuring the right progress was being made at the right time. This took a lot of stress out of the planning and made the task of putting together this function seem like something realistic and manageable. However, where I was really impressed was the day-of services. When anxiety and nerves were at their highest, Lauren and Ruthie were truly professional and made us both feel like they had every aspect of the day under their control. Every wedding will experience a few bumps in the road - with Eutopia on board ... Read morewe knew our bumps in the road were going to be handled... The peace of mind was worth their fee by itself If there are any Grooms out there reading this (which I doubt there are), don't make your future wife stress out when she doesn't have to - Hire Eutopia. You'll be glad you did

One word, amazing! I had actually contacted another wedding planner in the area before I switched immediately to Eutopia Events. The first wedding planner I contacted took a week to get back to me and that was when I knew I wouldn't get along with them because I like prompt responses. When I sent Eutopia an email they literally got back to me within minutes, answered all of my questions, and had a detailed price list of my different options. The next day they phoned me to get more information about my vision and myself and I knew I had to look no further. Since I am an organized and efficient person I appreciated all that Eutopia had to offer and we couldn't have planned such a gorgeous wedding without them. Eutopia researched vendors in the area and found exactly what we were looking for. They have a stellar reputation and they know which companies are the best to work with. There are literally hundreds of vendors in the area and there is no way we would have been able to ... Read morenarrow them down and receive the quality of service we got without Eutopia's help. On the day of the wedding my husband, family, friends, and I were all completely stress free because we knew they would take care of every little detail. My mom said that she was so happy we had hired a planner because she wouldn't have been able to cope without them. My dad told me that after my mom left the house in the morning to get ready with me he was excited because the "warden" had left the building. However, he then commented that he had two new wardens arrive minutes later, Ruthie and Lauren, who made sure he and the horses were dressed and ready in time for pictures. Obviously you don't know my father, but I don't even think he would have been ready in time if both my mom and I had been there pressuring him so it was a relief that he arrived on time to pick me up in the horse and carriage. You will not be disappointed if you hire them. I wouldn't waste your time looking for another planner because I know they are the best in the area because I got in touch with several who were not responsive before I found Eutopia and had to look no further. Best of luck, and thanks again for everything!

Ruthie helped my Matron of Honor with all of the fine details for our engagement party. We had a snowflake theme with the colors red and white for the engagement party and wedding. She made our invitations for the party on very short notice and they were exactly what I wanted. We received a lot of compliments on them! Ruthie did all of the table arrangements at the engagement party. The tables looked very elegant but simple! She even made a menu for each place setting! Finally, I have a dairy allergy and Ruthie made a delicious dairy free snowflake cake, so I could have cake at the engagement party! I absolutely loved it! I would highly recommend Ruthie to other brides! Her attention to detail and creativity makes her great at her job!

We utilized Eutopia Events for our Wedding on 11/5/10 in Springfield, MA. At first, it was about the planning process but due to the amazing talents of Lauren and Ruthie, we had them do much more. Our wedding was black, white, and red with a damask theme. Using this, Eutopia events created our favors- homemade sugar cookies with a black and white damask pattern on them. They were amazing and delicious! They also did all our bouquets and boutonnieres. My flowers were 35 hand tied red roses; our bridesmaids carried white roses with white gerbera daisies. They were beautiful and fit the simple yet elegant look that we wanted. They also had the great idea of having a black, white, and red candy buffet in apothecary jars. It was an inexpensive, personal touch that all our guests loved! They created our invitations, our guestbook, and photo tree as well. Eutopia Events was also able to take our very simple church and turn it into a gorgeous wedding venue- even the Pastor was amazed at how be... Read moreautiful his church looked! Lauren and Ruthie were able to take my few thoughts about the vision and turn our wedding into an elegant, timeless evening. Their attention to detail was amazing! If it wasn’t for them, I wouldn’t have gotten through it- their expertise allowed us to have a fun, stress-free wedding that we will never forget! I highly recommend them for all your wedding needs!

Seems best to start my comments on services we enlisted from Eutopia Events, with the letter we sent them a few days after the Wedding which will be followed by random thoughts. Dear Ruthie Dear Lauren- Over the last few days we have been sharing brunch, recycling lots, doing laundry and savoring the moments of one of the biggest events in the lifetime of a parent------- Moments that include seeing the hydrangea in the old watering cans on the columns afront the buffet tent, potted Russian Sage atop a small red metal table over the tent stake ---as a lovely warning, the signs we didn't get to but you did, the ribbon across the stairs to the barn loft, the colorful cloths enhancing predictable white table-coverings, the fire-truck in the food tent........The list goes on and on at the hand of Lauren and Ruthie....Eutopia Events at it's finest. Our "behind the scenes" wizards. David would not have tasted the food had it not been for the plate you presented him with and I'... Read mored still be running around prepping, camera round my neck, if you had not insisted I go inside, leave it to you two and enjoy the day with my daughter. I did, finally, knowing you knew our vision and had made it your own. The lighting and lanterns magically swaying in the light breeze, the Tiki lights bordering the fields edge, the sky filled with stars--------as we all felt like stars because we had you at our backs----tucking, tweaking, placing. lighting and overseeing, with our taste and your great eyes for detail in-sinc. After all the guests had left----I walked out of the tent to stroll down the road to experience what others had seen....I literally was stopped in my tracts. It was no less than awe inspiring......your placement of the luminaries was the cherry on top of an incredible evening, a "goodbye and thanks so much for coming to share" visual. The volume of magical dotted light that transformed the blackness of the new moon into a galaxy of delight was unreal and truly breath-taking. Your creation of a path over the grass in front of the house was absolutely brilliant--------pun intended! A way of directing guests to a easier way to exit and so exquisite to see. The luminosity, quantity and design was spectacular and "you" alone, placed and lit them all------and if it wasn't "you" alone, it was you two orchestrating the gremlins who did.......and we never knew it was happening. Ruthie and Lauren----I could go on for pages, from the moment we first chatted in the screen porch, through the hugs on the dance floor when you joined us 'cause you knew we wanted you to, Eutopia Events was so much more than we could have ever imagine it would be. Two very fine, very talented organized visionaries, with a 14 foot ladder, who we have had the pleasure of knowing and working with. Two daughters- One wedding down ----one to go! with great admiration and appreciation Judy alone----for I am sure Jenna will be writing her own thoughts when she returns from the Vineyard! PS--As a Commercial Photographic Stylist/Set designer/Producer I thought I could do it all myself, but couldn't have done it all without you two. Your "Day of Wedding" Coordination was essential given we were using our own venue. You were indispensable at the end..........and I can only imagine how valuable it must be to have you all the way through. ____________________ So that's our letter, here are some other random thoughts: --Though we knew exactly what we wanted--a friend who had a home wedding suggested we get some day of wedding managerial assistance. We hired Eutopia Events as "DAY OF" Wedding Planners. Trust me, I did my homework,chcked out several--and decided Eutopia Events was right for us. (They don't let their ego get in the way-----which can't be said for all) --Ruthie and Lauren were great communicators, both through email and phone with quick replies. --They were very flexible--and put our scheduling needs before their own --The "DAY OF" in their vocabulary was far from "DAY OF". It involved, meetings and other communications so they could learn who we were, and what our vision was. And we could learn who they were and how they could help. --They reviewed our timeline and tweaked it to make the day flow better--touched base with our vendors, asked all the right questions to helped us organize in so many way. --They will customize to your needs. We had a vision for lighting and hanging lanterns----we had all the supplies ----and they helped with design and implementation-----.....AND they were up atop of a 14 foot ladder working with us until the lighting and lanterns were right. ---They orchestrated the rehearsal since our Officiant was a first timer. ---On the day of the wedding they coordinated the vendors, were our hands and eyes in placing props and table decor, pitched in everywhere even with the caterer. ---They were at the wedding til there was nothing left for them to do. ---They were the "go to" people which freed us up to enjoy the day----and we did. ---You will never regret hiring them. ---Good luck with all the planning-----

Eutopia Events created invitations and response cards that we could not find anywhere else, within a very short time line. They were flexible, willing to work within our budget, and made changes to the invitations to be sure we were fully satisfied. In addition to our invitations, Eutopia Events created place cards and table numbers. They were beautiful and matched the color scheme of our wedding. Eutopia Events were easy to contact and responded quickly to any questions we had. We would recommend to Eutopia Events to anyone who is looking for professional, flexible, and hard working wedding planners who can meet all of your needs and ensure that the day you have worked so hard for is perfect.

I feel so lucky to have discovered Eutopia Events literally right down the road from my childhood home, and the place where I held my wedding in late July 2010. From my very first conversation with Lauren and Ruthie, I felt confident that their energy, attention to detail, and seamless collaboration would be a huge asset to my wedding day. I was not mistaken. Throughout the planning process, they worked with me to ensure that every detail of my wedding weekend was covered. From ceremony programs to guest gift bags, Eutopia ensured there was a clear plan and that all of the resources we needed were on board. The wedding itself could not have gone smoother. It was a dream day for not only me and my husband, but also my sister and my mother, who were used to answering questions and putting out fires at previous events. Instead, they were able to relax and enjoy the day while Eutopia managed the entire event moment to moment behind the scenes. Lauren and Ruthie did an amazing job... Read more and we truly bonded during the planning process. It was obvious that they cared about our day almost as much as we did! They handled a few unexpected guests (uninvited children who tagged along with their parents), a minor music snafu (my i-pod died and the band's needed to be used). They took care of any decisions that needed to be made and ensured the event stayed on schedule and had momentum throughout. So many friends have commented on our "perfect" and "beautiful" wedding and even remarked it was the best wedding they have ever attended (my sister who was married in the same spot 2 years prior remarked that it was not only the best wedding, but the best PARTY she had ever been to). Most importantly, my husband and I had a wonderful, worry-free wedding day that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. This truly would not have been possible without the expertise and commitment of Ruthie and Lauren. I wholeheartedly recommend Eutopia Events without hesitation! My only regret is not getting one of their beautiful wedding cakes, but there are always birthdays to celebrate!

Eutopia Events really know how to throw a party! Lauren and Ruthie made our wedding a spectacular day for me and my husband in a matter of weeks!! I believe that what could have been a disastrous day was turned into a wonderful lasting memory! From the coordination, to the little details, and even to our sanity! You both did a wonderful job, and we couldn't be more appreciative!! We recommend Eutopia Events to our friends for ANY party! Look forward to working with you both again!
