Best Day Ever Event Planning, LLC - Allentown, New Jersey

The main reason our wedding went absolutely perfect is because Billie was there for us every step of the way. Right from the beginning of our planning process, Billie listened to all of our ideas and hopes for the day and provided us with a full mood board of design inspiration, a color palette, and recommendations. Being able to collaborate with her on all of our designs (florals, seating chart, welcome signs, menus, everything) was so helpful to make sure the end results were exactly what we wanted and personalized. She also recommended vendors to us that were extremely professional and wonderful to work with.

One of the best parts of our wedding day was seeing our balloon installation piece come to life. We were interested in having a ceiling installation for the reception, but the price was extremely high and out of our budget. Billie had the idea of looking into using balloons instead (shoutout to Ivy on Main florals/Ivy on Air!) and she worked with the vendor on creating a completely new design. The silver orb balloons were so stunning and even better than we could have imagined!! Without her creative mind and ability to think outside of the box, we would have never had that as part of our wedding day.

Billie’s experience and professionalism is so top tier and made our own wedding the perfect day. She truly does give you and your partner the best day ever when you have her involved. 1000/10 recommend her for any event!

Wedding planning is very overwhelming and we knew we needed someone to help keep us on track and to give us insight on things we were not familiar with. Billie was excellent from the start; from the first call she was friendly and personable, very easy to talk to and get to know. She had flexibility in her appointment calls and we always ended them feeling better than when we started. Billie pointed us in the right direction for our vendors based on her knowledge of the area and years of experience in the business, which is one of the biggest reasons we wanted a wedding planner. Every vendor that BIllie suggested we booked and would recommend. She handled communication with our vendors, volunteered to be our marriage license witness, and even went in person to our hotel when it was difficult to communicate with them. We trusted her with our timeline and she always took our opinions and wants into consideration while making decisions. She went above and beyond and got us more time to set-up the venue space which turned out absolutely beautiful. She 100% made the right call when changing first look locations and she gave us a lovely aisle to walk down even in a nontraditional space. She helped us find a rehearsal dinner space as well which turned out to be perfect for us. She was very organized, and kept us calm, even in stressful times. Billie is so sweet and she clearly loves her job. She is professional, can work around different family dynamics, and helped make our day “the best day”.

Billie was a total joy to work with for our wedding! She made everything so easy and organized, and went above and beyond for us. We really couldn't have imagined a better experience, and she was such a major part of making our wedding day feel absolutely perfect. If all goes as planned, the only negative thing is the fact that being in the wedding business means we won't get to work with her again! 😂

Billie, Samantha and I still can't thank you enough! These few months later and we still talk about how amazing the wedding was and how much you contributed to that. You are the best!

The best decision we made in the whole wedding planning process was to hire Billie!

We got married in June 2024 in Princeton, NJ, near our families. During the wedding planning process, we were based in the UK, and moved halfway through to Switzerland, so we knew we would need someone experienced and calm "on the ground" to help everything run smoothly. Billie absolutely filled this role from day 1! Planning a wedding from another country is no small feat and with Billie's guidance it was the least stressful it could have been.

We were fairly confident about most of the wedding planning process, and signed up for Billie's 'wedding management' package. Truthfully, this was even more than we were planning to do when we first started looking at coordinators, but trust me, IT IS WORTH IT. You are not just investing in your peace of mind, you are also unlocking a treasure trove of wedding wisdom—and importantly in this industry, Billie will always try to help you figure out what YOU want, and how you can make that happen. There are no rules!

From our first meeting, Billie took the time to get to know us and our preferences, and although she had never coordinated a Quaker wedding before, she was curious and so thoughtful throughout the process. Having someone who could 'bridge' the very simple Quaker ceremony with our slightly more traditional reception ended up being crucial, since at a wedding sometimes (even in a democratic Quaker setup!) you need someone who's in charge! We even ended up doing an extra consultation with her about halfway through the process (~4 months out) to discuss the wedding-day timeline, which was incredibly helpful.

On the day, Billie (sometimes literally) held our hands throughout. She made sure vendors and guests knew where to go, helped with the signing of the Quaker wedding certificate, coordinated our transport bus, handled tips — everything you would expect from a day-of coordinator, but with an extra level of professionalism and conscientiousness. Billie had taken the time to get to know us as a couple, and unlike someone who comes in "on the day of," she was able to answer questions without needing to bother us on the most exciting day of our lives. We got more time to spend with our loved ones, which is always what you want!

We would recommend Billie and Best Day Ever without hesitation to anyone planning a wedding or other event in central NJ. (Just make sure you reach out in good time — we were really lucky that she had our date open, and that was nearly a year in advance!) Thank you, Billie, for helping to make our wedding day so spectacular and so relaxed!

Billie of Best Day Ever Wedding Planning is absolutely fantastic! She came highly recommended by a friend who used her for her daughter's wedding in 2022. There are several service packages to choose from and the Wedding Management package was just right for us. I knew we needed help coordinating the timing and transportation for the day of my daughter's wedding. Billie jumped in a month before the big day and took care of everything. When I saw all the emails going back and forth with our vendors I knew I couldn't have done it without her. She even provided a timeline for the wedding party to save on their phones to help keep everyone on track. What I love most about Billie is that right from the beginning she feels like a friend you've known for ages. Billie is professional and organized. She knows when to step in and when to stand back. Billie handled all the little hiccups on the wedding day so my daughter and I didn't have to. I can honestly say that my husband and I, as well as our daughter and son-in-law were able to fully enjoy the day knowing Billie was there to take care of everything. We are forever grateful to Billie for her part in helping to make 12.2.2023 our family's own best day ever!

I can confidently say that Best Day Ever Event Planning was one of the best decisions my husband and I made regarding our wedding. Billie is easy to talk to, organized and meticulous. She took the time to listen to what we wanted and developed a plan specific for us. Billie worked with our vendors to ensure that everyone was working towards the same goal - making our day exactly what we wanted! Her calm nature and confident aura were very appreciated on our wedding day when nerves were running high. We cannot recommend her enough!

Billie was recommended by a fellow planner who had originally been referred to us, but was not available. So, you could say we found Billie by accident, and what a very happy accident that was!

In summary, Billie is the consummate professional. She is knowledgeable, creative, personable, responsive, dependable and calm. Truly, she is everything you need in a planner.

Now, the details! Originally, we had only planned to hire Billie for "day of" assistance, but that would have been a mistake. Her guidance in the 9 months before the wedding was incredibly helpful. As Mother of the Bride, the monthly calls my daughter and I had with Billie's checklists as the agenda were very helpful. Between the lists and the calls, we stayed on track, and this kept the stress to a minimum. During this time, we also got to know and appreciate Billie's skills which made us feel very confident on the day of the wedding. Simply put, we knew what we had in her and didn't need to worry. Every review can say the same wonderful things, but there is no substitute for knowing your planner ahead of time and allowing her the opportunity to know you and the bride. It really makes a difference.

Other than checklists with us, Billie also contacted our vendors when needed and handled the "day of" timeline. These may sound like small things but they are huge! Also, if you have concerns that your planner will be "in your face" and the center of the day, that is NOT how Billie operates. She is there mostly in the wings, miraculously working in ways that you may never know to keep the day moving along. It's not possible to list everything she did here, but suffice to say, that after we talked about all the tasks for the "day of" in the days prior to the wedding, all of it was done flawlessly. I didn't worry because I knew I didn't have to!

Thanks to Billie, I can say that my husband and I enjoyed every moment of the wedding weekend and my daughter and her new husband did too. Forever grateful to Billie for not only helping us create, but also truly enjoy the party of a lifetime!

Billie is a wonderful wedding planner and so pleasant to work with. My husband and I tend to be more laid back and were looking for assistance, particularly with the small details and staying organized, when planning our wedding. Billie quickly matched our relaxed style and was helpful throughout the planning process. To cater to our hectic work schedules, Billie conducted meetings with us over the phone every few weeks to discuss the progression of our plans.

During each meeting, Billie used a shared Google spreadsheet that served as a checklist to keep us on track as our big day approached. Billie's ability to stay organized is incredible and helped the planning process seem less overwhelming.

On the day of the wedding, Billie worked well with each of our vendors and was always nearby to help in any way she could. We couldn't have asked for a more kind, lovely person to help plan our special day.

Thank you, Billie!
