Find a Wedding Planner in Amityville

If you are going to have one takeaway from my review, PLEASE listen to me when I say The Wedding Connection was the BEST thing to happen to me for my wedding. I actually won a free day of coordinator through their instagram contest and was immediately welcomed by Gab. I met with Gab a few times over the phone in the beginning to catch her up about my wedding plans and about 3 months prior to my wedding she introduced me to Jess and Jackie, who would be my 2 day of coordinators. After that, I had a groupchat with the 3 of them that we would text almost daily, we also would facetime to go over all the details and they created a detailed timeline for my day. They also reached out to all my vendors on my behalf the week of the wedding to make sure everything was confirmed and in place. When there was a delay with my signage the week of the wedding, Gab volunteered to pick it up for me and bring it to my venue because I didn’t have the time to. Jess and Jackie are complete angels and were life savers on the day of my wedding. For reference, I am a type A bride, planned everything out, am extremely organized and didn’t think I would need a day of coordinator, but was lucky enough to win them because let me tell you… YOU NEED ONE. Jess and Jackie showed up for my day while we were getting ready at the hotel and immediately took control of everything. You don’t realize how many silly things will happen the day of that you don’t account for or don’t realize will take time and attention. For example, when all 8 groomsmen, plus 2 dads and the Groom were tasked with folding their pocket squares, Jess and Jackie were there to do it (which also included cutting a napkin to make a makeshift pocket square because one was forgotten). They took control of being the liaison with all my vendors that day, like making sure the photographers got every shot on my photo shot list and knew all the important family members by name and made sure our bridal party was always ready and in the right place at the right time. They were basically my bodyguard throughout my wedding and made sure we were running on time and that everything I had told them in advance that I wanted to do, was getting done and that everything was in the right place. There were seriously so many moments that I said to myself that day, “Thank god I have Jess and Jackie.” I would have been so much more stressed and overwhelmed that day if I didn’t have them and I can’t thank them enough for putting their heart and souls into my wedding day.

I had my wedding here September 2016, everything was great. We booked them in March 2014 and in 2015 they went under new management, remodeling our room upstairs. We met with a new person who was going to be in charge of our wedding, his name was Lou. He was amazing!! He did everything to help us and answered all our questions. If we had any questions he would always call us back if he was in a meeting. About a week before out wedding we had 9 or 10ppl, tell us they weren't coming to the wedding after the responded yes. And some of them weren't going to tell us, we found out from other sources. Needless to say that's a lot of money we were going to lose, we explained the situation to Lou and I didn't know what to do, the wedding was paid in full already...well he calculated the amount of the "seats" we would be paying for and he gave us a credit to use towards anything we wanted-any extra desserts, etc. We were so thrilled that money wouldn't go to waste, we got zeppolis and chocolate fondue. The day of the wedding went smoothly, we had out suite upstairs with food, champagne, drinks, the mait're D kept checking on me and my girls, she was by my side the whole time. Even at the wedding she made sure my husband and I had drinks and everything was going the way we wanted it. I couldn't have asked for a better venue and better people to work with. Still 5months later my guest talk about how amazing the experience was and the food was outstanding. I would absolutely recommend this venue to anyone.

Mike was a pleasure to work with. He read the crowd perfectly and took our guidelines and put his own creative touch on it, making for an unforgettable time. Several guests asked us for the playlist after the event. We also had a family member sing a song for us and Mike coordinated with him and made everything go seamlessly. We couldn’t recommend Mike enough.
