My mother very quickly dismissed our desire for a day-of coordinator when I first told her we met with Shannon at Wedding Planning Plus. Shannon was great, answered all of our questions, and eagerly told us of all of the options they offer. We decided on the day-of consultation package and we were appointed Erin McKee as our consultant. Even though our package was only for day-of services, during our engagement, we were able to reach out to Erin if we ever needed to and she was more than happy to meet with us on a visit home just to get to know each other. As we got about a month out, Erin began to jump into high gear. Once she received all of the details from us (contact information of vendors, etc...) she took over with making all of the final phone calls and arrangements, setting up the timeline for the day, and making sure every last detail was accounted for. We did pay an extra fee to have Erin at our rehearsal, which was so helpful in keeping everything in order. On the day of... Read more, Erin was amazing. I told her that my wedding *would not* start late and it did not; 3pm on the dot, the ceremony music began. This was all thanks to her timeline, planning, and coordination... and we even did first-look photos at our reception site prior to the ceremony which was 15 minutes away and we got to the church early, allowing me time to touch up and even have a snack! Erin handled everything at the reception along with the banquet manager there and probably took care of things that I still don't know she took care of. At the end, she gathered a to-go box of our desserts, our cards, and some flowers and she went to our hotel room to set it up for us to arrive to for our wedding night. In the end, my mother looked at me and said, "I just can't believe how much Erin took care of; she was definitely worth the money!" We agree!!!

We were lucky enough to work with Kate for Day of Coordinating services. To say there were a lot of moving parts to our wedding is an understatement. Our venue was a blank slate and we brought in essentially every component; from chairs, linens, plates and flatware to the stove and grill for the caterer. To complicate things further, our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception were all at different locations. We had separate vendors for flowers, lighting, transportation, rentals, and catering but also had many personal items we brought in to customize the spaces. Lastly, my fiance and I were planning our upstate NY wedding from Washington, DC. I was a little worried we were going to scare Kate off during our first call, but she took it all in stride and continued to throughout the process. Like many couples, we assumed we had thought of everything. "Kate will take care of it," became a constant refrain (and somewhat of a running joke) whenever we thought of something new. Her list gr... Read moreew longer and longer but she graciously and professionally handled each and every item. On more than one occasion, I would shoot her a frantic text about the most minute detail and knew I didn't have to think of it again. She was organized, diligent, and thorough. It was important for us to work with someone who could take our months of planning and execute our vision in the final weeks leading up to the wedding. After over a year of exchanging hundreds of emails with vendors and creating too many checklists to count, we wanted someone else to be the point person so we could really enjoy our wedding without distractions. Thanks to Kate, we were able to do just that! She worked extremely hard to ensure we had a stress-free and amazing day. We always felt like her number one priority and thoroughly enjoyed our time working with her. Choosing Kate and WPP to help us with our coordinating needs was one of the best decisions we made and we wouldn't hesitate recommending them!

My fiancé (now husband) and I cannot express enough how amazing our day of coordinator Erin Rossi was for our big day. It is important I state that from the moment I spoke with Shannon, I knew Wedding Plaaning Plus was the best option. Any question I or my parents had Erin had the answer. It was so easy to quickly text her a question and within minutes I would have an answer. Or when I was debating what to do, she would work it out with me and help me communicate my ideas to the vendors, especially when the nerves/stress of the wedding day approaching made me incredibly indecisive. My only regret is not having her as our wedding planner from the start and is my best advice after all is said and done. Our guests still are expressing how great our wedding was and a lot of credit needs to be given to Erin for making sure it ran as smooth as possible. Best of all, we enjoyed the wedding because Erin and Rebecca (Erin's assistant) had everything under control and no amount of "... Read morethank you's" could suffice our appreciation! I am sure all the planners at Weddinng Planning Plus are spectacular but I am biased towards Erin so don't hesistate to ask for her!

Shannon was invaluable the day of! With her help, I planned my wedding from across the state. She made good recommendations about hair and makeup and where to have the rehearsal dinner, which were things that were tough to know about and decide not being from the area. She alerted me to potential problems that I would have never noticed. I have a busy professional life, and not a lot of family to help with the small details of planning, and we worked those tasks that would be difficult for me to complete on my own into the contract. Seriously, this was some of the best money (not worked into the original budget) that I spent. Worth it.

Shannon at Wedding Planning Plus is the best. She helped us to not only plan our wedding, but keep our sanity. Sometimes I swear she's a therapist in addition to wedding planner... She helped us to choose vendors, answered our stupid questions, planned the day of from a to z with utmost precision, and helped settle family "disputes" - all with charm, grace, and unending patience. The day of our wedding, no matter what was happening, I could feel calm knowing that Shannon was around to handle any and all situations that arose (and, of course, there were situations that arose!). She always had a level head and helped us all keep our cool throughout it all. Our wedding was INCREDIBLE, and without Shannon there, my family and I would have had so much more to deal with and worry about. We loved her, and her colleague Erin, and would highly recommend to all brides and grooms, no matter the style or size of your wedding. You can't go wrong with Shannon or WPP!

Shannon of WPP was wonderful to work with!! My husband and I were engaged for 2 years before our wedding which was held out of state. We both have schedules that did not allow us to do a lot of visiting the area and looking around at different vendors. Shannon got to know us and narrowed down the options for us then showed us only those she knew would like the most. We are able to do almost all the decision making by email but she was also very flexible and arranged to meet us when we could be in town. Any question or concern we had we just sent and email and got everything figured out. Our wedding was amazing, our guests had a great time and everything went so smoothly. We would recommend WPP for anyone!

My husband and I got engaged and then went on a 4-month trip through Asia. We had to do a lot of the wedding planning while we were overseas. We hired WPP to help us get the rentals we needed and to do our day-of coordination. Shannon worked with us by Skype to help get us our rentals and answer all our questions. Our wedding wasn't an easy one but WPP really helped get us what we wanted. Erin was our day-of-coordinator and we couldn't have asked for anything more. She was above and beyond our expectations. I actually don't know how people can have a wedding without a wedding coordinator! She gave us a timeline, helped us plan what aspects of a traditional wedding we wanted to keep and which ones we wanted to go without. On the day of the wedding she was organized, timely, professional. She really handled things beautifully. We had a lot of elements that could have been difficult and she took care of them without us even having to be aware of it. She dealt with all our vendors and even... Read more helped us decide how much to tip everyone. She is a wedding rockstar! Thank you Erin & Shannon for a great wedding :-)

Shannon was fantastic. We definitely didn't make it TOO easy, since we wanted to plan a destination wedding with 100+ guests in Lake Placid with only two months, from start to finish. Another planner we contacted didn't think it could be done--she didn't even think she could find us a venue--but Shannon had a list of options for us in a matter of days, and the place we ended up (Whiteface Lodge) was absolutely perfect. Shannon managed our budget, our timeline, and everything. She even received packages for us, so we wouldn't have to ship things from our home in Atlanta up to the Adirondacks. Thanks to Shannon, we always knew where we were in the wedding process, and what was left to be completed. She thought of things we wouldn't have, and kept us calm and cool on the wedding weekend. She has a great personality that is easy to get along with, and she was very laid back at the actual event. She made everything SO easy, in fact, that we were able to camp completely off the grid for the ... Read morelast two weeks before the wedding.

I wish I had started working with Lead Planner Erin Rossi much, much sooner. I hired Erin as a wedding coordinator, but when we started working together I realized how invaluable she is. As a graphic designer, I didn't need Erin to come up with ideas, but I really could have used her detailed organization and her brilliant ability to communicate with everyone involved in the wedding. When people say wedding planning is a second job, they mean it. So to have someone like Erin -who is on top of everything- by your side means you won't be overwhelmed with the inevitable 20 emails per day from the florist, hairstylist, makeup artist, photographer, band and caterer. (Not to mention friends and family.) Also, the day of service was the best. Erin did everything I had asked her to and then knew all the things I hadn't even thought of! As the ceremony started Erin followed me out the door and fixed my train right before I turned the corner to walk down the aisle. Then, later, she always ha...

A lot of people will get the big stuff done, but WWP and Erin made sure all the little things were done right too. THANK YOU!!!!!

We just got married June 2016 in the Hudson Valley. I write this review from the prospective of two NYC television producers (my husband and I,) who spend our lives producing. Firstly, I have to say rule #1 Do not skimp on a wedding coordinator, you absolutely need on so you can actually enjoy your day. Build it into the budget, no exceptions. If you can afford a full planner, even better. Now to the oozing of my appreciation of Wedding Planning plus and my coordinator Tommie and her assistant Kate: My initial call with Shannon was prompt, efficient, friendly and comprehensive...no run around. She asked my needs and immediately gave me rates. No one was trying to squeeze our (tight) budget etc. She was fantastic. Now for Tommie, our Day-of coordinator; ABOVE AND BEYOND. Professional, punctual, really "got" our very eclectic, out of the box wedding. We explained to her our specific needs, which were much different than most weddings and she took on the project like a champ... Read more, truly embracing it. -Though unconventional, our wedding had a lot of moving parts and very uncommon/rustic locations. - Oversaw the setup of our highly styled wedding decor, making sure all was beautiful and personally took care of all of the decor we owned ( which was a lot) at the end of the night. -Tommie stayed LATE, making sure all she promised was in order. -Dealt with our drunken friend who was DJ'ing after the live band left (#ourpoorchoice) -All of this and much more, because she fixed things that I am sure we didn't even know about. -Oh did I mention her positive "I can do anything" attitude? I can not say enough about this company and about Tommie. We looked into coordinators from NYC that were triple the cost ...that didn't have a handle on the Hudson Valley or the open mind to do the very out of the box wedding we had.

We were married this past summer in upstate New York on our university campus (where we met!). The reception was held basically in the middle of field, and Shannon planned and coordinated everything -- rentals (literally everything....chairs, tables, every fork and spoon, lighting, bathrooms, etc.), to table placements, and really the whole plan for the day. There were so many moving pieces to make the outdoor venue work, but Shannon was not phased by anything, and was so patient with us. Our wedding day was the best day of our lives and could not have been anymore beautiful or seamless, and we owe a huge thank you to Shannon for that!!!

We hired Aissa as the day of coordinator for our wedding at Hamilton College. It was the first wedding of our size on the college campus, so we had to troubleshoot many issues and bring everything in. When Aissa met with us and several of our vendors months before the wedding to talk through the logistics of the day, it was clear that Aissa is extremely organized, experienced, and creative. While she was extremely helpful with the preparations leading up to the wedding, she was instrumental the day of the wedding. When an electrical issue came up, Aissa thought of and perfectly executed a creative solution. She met all deliveries and setup all rentals/props exactly how we had pictured. And before we could run out of ice and wine mid-reception, Aissa already bought more. We could not have pulled of our wedding without Aissa’s help, and we couldn’t recommend WPP more highly!

Words can't explain how happy we are that we hired Wedding Planning Plus for our day-of coordinator service. We worked with Erin Rossi on our wedding (1 month prior and the the day of) and I am not kidding when I said every single day the month leading up to our wedding "Oh my gosh, what the heck would we do without her???". The month before the wedding things become crazy, no matter how organized you were beforehand. Having Erin help us tie up loose ends, coordinate with vendors, remind us about little details and tasks, etc. was absolutely amazing. Then on the day of...wow. Erin and her assistants were there through everything: Handing me water during photographs because it was so hot out, holding my shoes as we walked around for photos so I didn't have to stand in heels the whole time, making sure the ballroom was setup, coordinating with our vendors throughout the day as they arrived, distributing gratuity to vendors on our behalf and so much more. She even negotiated costs with th... Read moree venue for us as the last minute because we decided to add an extra hour to the reception. Our day was flawless. WORTH EVERY PENNY.

Hiring Shannon was the best wedding planning decision we made! Because we live in Washington, DC, but got married in Lake George, we relied on Shannon for local knowledge as well as her general wedding expertise. From helping us find vendors (including our photographer and DJ, who we also loved!) to a seamless wedding day, Shannon kept us organized, focused, and calm. I first met Shannon when she planned and coordinated a friend’s wedding in which I was a bridesmaid. I was blown away by her professionalism, calm demeanor, and how easy she was to get along with. At that wedding, I told my then-boyfriend - “If we get married in upstate New York, we are definitely calling Shannon!” When we got engaged a year later, Shannon was the first vendor we reached out to after we found our venue and date. We hired her to help us find vendors and for day of coordination and she delivered big time on both fronts. At one of our final planning meetings, my now-husband said “I don’t kno... Read morew how anyone does this without a planner!” Having a wedding planner helped us make sure we were organized to host the biggest party of our lives, but working with Shannon specifically was so reassuring and fun. We felt completely comfortable - and grateful! - turning everything over to Shannon and relying on her to make sure our big day ran smoothly.
