NYE is a great wedding planning company. They took good care of us, they had connections with all our vendors, and they kept us on task. Liz was our planner, and she rocked.

We had the wonderful pleasure of working with Katie in planning our wedding. From our first meeting with Katie, she was so attentive and thoughtful when discussing our vision for the big day. We had several meetings throughout the year and felt that no stone was left unturned when it came to planning, budgeting, vendors, etc. When the wedding day finally came, Katie and her assistant were truly incredible. Everything that we had planned came together so perfectly. The vision came true even better than we had expected and Katie was so punctual and calm, we were seriously so impressed given how much prep had led up to the day. We cannot recommend NYE enough and hope others have the same experience as us.

Naturally Yours Coordinating was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Katie was absolutely phenomenal. She was responsive, communicative, organized, and truly got to know every detail of our wedding day like the back of her hand.
Katie met with us multiple times leading up to the wedding to make sure everything was planned perfectly, and throughout the entire process we felt incredibly supported, confident, and taken care of. By the time the wedding day arrived, we fully trusted that everything was in the best hands.
Our wedding day went off without a hitch thanks to her and her team. She made sure everything ran smoothly with our vendors, kept events perfectly on schedule, and ensured guests were always where they needed to be. Katie also went above and beyond to take care of us personally throughout the day, making sure we were fed, hydrated, relaxed, and prepared for anything that came our way.
Her calm presence, attention to detail, and genuine care made such a huge difference, and we truly cannot imagine our wedding day without her. Highly, highly, highly recommend Naturally Yours for wedding coordination. It was by far one of the best investments we made for our wedding!

We purchased the Day-of Coordinator package, but Rebecca’s support started well before the wedding day. From our initial meetings, she was on top of every detail, making me feel supported and calm long before the festivities began.
She managed our rehearsal with incredible efficiency—my sisters actually went out of their way to comment on how it was the smoothest and most organized rehearsal they’d ever participated in! On the wedding day, Rebecca went above and beyond her job description; she even brought a Diet Coke to the bridal suite right when I needed it. She is professional, kind, and a logistical genius. I truly could not recommend her enough!

I cannot recommend Naturally Yours (and our coordinator Sara) enough! They were incredibly organized and detailed, and made sure they totally understood our vision for our wedding day. They took a LOT off our plates in developing a detailed timeline for our wedding day and were beyond organized. They helped to provide their POV/recommendations when we had questions and they went above and beyond for us. Would definitely recommend!

If you are having any event, you NEED to hire Liz Breen with NYEs. She is so approachable yet professional. She was amazing at last minute problem solving, and because of her I was able to just sit back and enjoy my big day. If I could give her more than 5 stars I would

The Naturally Yours event team truly went above and beyond. We had the absolute pleasure of working with two different planners—Mel helped us curate a vision and pick an amazing vendor team and Rebecca stepped in and ensured that we had an amazing and stress free day. Leading up to the wedding, people would ask if we were stressed and we would say “no, because we know Rebecca is so on top of everything!”
Day of, Rebecca and Lydia made sure that my family, friends and I could focus on celebrating. They took care of any fires that arose, kept us on time, brought a great and fun energy, and took videos. We could not have asked for a better planning team!
