Whoa - We Have Been BUSY!

For pretty much forever we have stayed up on blogs even in our busiest times but this summer we reached a level of wedding season crazy that was unprecedented!  Full wedding months of June, July, and August, and then we have THIRTEEN weddings in the month of September!!  Although we kept up on all of our clients' needs we clearly left things like our blog and our social media on the back burner.  I just wanted to leave a message to all of you to stick with us as we get through all of these amazing weddings and then soon we will be able to share them all with you on here!  Stay tuned!!

Mary and Brian Review WPP's Erin McKee!

Erin McKee had the distinct pleasure of working with Mary and Brian on their September 7th wedding at Pat's Barn in Troy.  She came on board with them as their wedding day coordinator about a month before their big day and they all had such a great time working together!  Mary and Brian were so kind to leave a review online of Erin's services which is posted proudly here for all to see!

When my husband and I started planning our wedding, we had discussed hiring a day of coordinator, but we had tabled the idea. My bridal shower changed my mind. It was a great shower, but it was a complete whirlwind! I hadn't participated in any of the planning or coordinating, I just showed up and afterward I felt as though it was a compelte blur. Between trying to talk to everyone and take it all in, I hardly remember the details. That is when I realized that if I tried to be the point person for our wedding, it would turn an already fleeting day into a stressful one as well. I also knew that our work and personal schedules were on track to be especially busy in the month leading up to the wedding. I had spoken to Shannon Whitney at Wedding Planning Plus at the beginning of our planning process when we were considering our options. I reached out to her about her day of coordination services and it was exactly what we needed. She was responsive and attentive and put my mind at ease during our discussions. She set us up with one of her coordinators, Erin McKee. Erin provided us with her services in the month leading up to the wedding, helping us put together our day-of schedule and tie up any loose ends. On the day of the event she made sure that the event ran smoothly and seamlessly. She made it so that my husband and I were able to be the guests of honor, while she took care of all the details. She was professional and did an amazing job! My husband and I can honestly say that our wedding day was the best day of our lives. We would definitely make the decision to work with Shannon and Erin again if we had the chance. They come highly recommended!

Chelsea and Chace Review WPP!


Chelsea and Chace were married on the shores of Lake George in Ticonderoga this June and I had the pleasure of working with them as their day-of wedding coordinator.  Upon talking with them on their first call I learned that Chelsea went to my high school and knew both of my brothers, but more interestingly, Chelsea is a wedding planner herself and runs her business in Aspen, CO.  So pressure was on for me to do my best work to execute a wedding planner's wedding day!  Thankfully their wedding went amazingly well and Chelsea was kind enough to post this review of me online.  Thanks so much for taking the time to share your experience with other brides, Chelsea!  And thank you for choosing me as your wedding coordinator!

Wow, where do I begin! Shannon and the Wedding Planning Plus team were amazing throughout the entire wedding planning process. I am an event planner in Aspen, CO with quite high standards and Shannon never let me down. On my wedding day there was flash flooding and my tent was underwater. Shannon and her team did everything they could to help with the situation that was out of everyone's control. They were truly amazing. I would recommend Shannon and her team with 100% confidence. They exceeded my expectations!
