Reviews of Busy Bee's Weddings & Events (Event Planner)

Elliot Weiss

Working with Bettina as a photo booth vendor was such a pleasure! She is easy to work with, great communication and on top of her game! Highly suggest you give her a call to see how she can make your event exactly what you envision!

Bettina and her team are absolutely incredible! We just had our wedding on 10/19/19 at the Deering Estate in Miami. I had been working with Bettina over a year on the event. She was always on top of things, professional, and wonderful to work with. She went out of her way for us to find us the best deals, always negotiating with the vendors for us. She organized and coordinated across all of our vendors, and offered thoughtful advice along the way. She is extremely experienced in the industry and has many connections throughout South Florida. Adriana was also a pleasure to work with and was very prompt in her responses. Her team on the day of were phenomenal. Bri and the other women were right by my side and helped in every possible way to make the night a huge success. All of our guests were extremely impressed with how the wedding turned out; beautiful, special, intimate, and unique. Our vendors even mentioned to us that they really enjoyed working with Bettina. I highly recommend her for planning any event. I will absolutely stay in touch if we plan to host any other event in the future.

I can’t say enough great things about Busy Bee’s Events! Bettina was an absolute lifesaver. Being with us from almost the beginning of our journey, she took care of every little detail, made sure our wedding was perfect, executed our vision flawlessly and took all of the wedding stress and jitters away. She provided guidance, advice, kept us organized and on track. She even performed miracles when Tropical Storm Philippe hit. She was able to transform our outside ceremony into a gorgeous and intimate indoor ceremony and she made sure that our wedding went off without a hitch. Bettina is so much more than a wedding planner, she became a part of our lives! We could not have done this without you!!Thank you so much!!!

What a wonderful experience working with Bettina and her team. I hired her as a day-of-coordinator and she was exceptional. My family still talks about how organized the wedding was - all thanks to her. If you have a wedding - hire her! Leave it in Bettina's very capable hands to make your vision come to life. The day was perfect and I'm so appreciative.

THANK GOD for these ladies! The Busy Bees team that helped me coordinate my wedding was undeniably what made my wedding day such a success. The venue I had chosen already had a coordinator, but I felt I needed someone to help me with outside vendors, set-up and pick-up, and day-of logistics....and boy did Adriana, Bettina, Rachel and the others come through! They made sure me and the groom had someone with us during the preparation (offering us water, food, and other services...even asking an unwelcome guest to leave on our behalf), they went to the venue early to set-up (and did so perfectly!), and they made sure the timeline of the day ran smoothly. That night, the ladies made sure all the cars were packed neatly and every item I needed back was secured in the proper boxes and bags. I was able to truly enjoy my wedding day knowing that the Busy Bees were making sure set-up and clean-up ran without a hitch. I can't thank these ladies enough for all work they put into the six weeks leading up to our big day. They made our vision a reality and they did so with kindness, patience, and professionalism... and for a very reasonable price for brides on a budget, like me. Thank you Adriana, and thank you to the WHOLE Busy Bees team.

We hired Bettina (Bee) as a day of coordinator. She was very thorough, contacted all the vendors, had an assistant with me all day and made sure everything went smoothly. She was tough when she needed to be and very communicative.

I interviewed over 20 wedding coordinators via telephone, and when I spoke with Bettina and Adriana it was apparent that I had finally found the company that I was looking for. They shared in my vision, understood our needs (including that the wedding being a Jewish wedding), and I loved their energy! After informing my then fiancé that I had found “the one”, we scheduled a face-to-face with Bettina and Adriana (eight weeks prior to our wedding) to get to know them and further elaborate on our desires. We thought we had it pretty much planned out and only needed the wedding planners to coordinate with the vendors and venue on the big day, we were wrong. Bettina and Adriana became intimate with our prior planning, reviewing all of our contracts, reaching out to the vendors and venue, and reviewing and revising the timeline I created (which was apparently unrealistic as South Florida runs on its own time). Knowing I had made the right decision in choosing Busy Bee’s, I took a deep breath and relaxed for the first time in 8 months. Adriana was the head coordinator and played the role of part-time psychologist. I called, text, and emailed her at any given hour of the day, and she always replied in a timely manner with answers to my questions or concerns, or simply to remind me to take a deep breath and relax. Busy Bee’s began buzzing at 6:30 am, with wedding bells for me, and coffee for my fiancé. Not only did I have my two favorite wedding coordinators, Adriana and Bettina, but I also had my own personal assistant Valerie, she was also AMAZING! I never met or spoke with her prior to the morning of the wedding, but it felt like I had known her for quite some time as she knew what I wanted without me so much as opening my mouth. It was like we were long-lost friends. She clicked with my friends and family, and made sure everything was on track with hair, makeup, pictures, me eating and drinking, and making sure I wasn’t obsessing over the weather and glued to my phone, which she eventually pried from my hands. She held my dress for pictures, held my bouquet when needed, really anything that I needed she would take care of, I felt very spoiled. The big day went without a hitch, at least to my knowledge, and I strongly believe that this was made possible thanks to Busy Bee’s. We hired the most capable, dedicated, driven, and caring women in the wedding industry to insure perfection, and they did not disappoint! Thank you Busy Bee’s for allowing us to fully enjoy and experience our special day!

We hired Bettina and her staff for "day-of" coordinating since we already had most of our wedding planned. She started about 6 weeks out. I am HUGE on communication and really like my e-mails answered quickly since planning a wedding involves so many moving parts. Bettina and her staff always acknowledged every detail I sent and every little detail was taken care of. DAY OF WEDDING - These ladies were Godsend. Kelsey was with me from start to finish and I honestly felt like I had another best friend with me. She took over everything with confidence and helped me with every detail imaginable. While Kelsey was helping me specifically in my room, Bettina and her staff were in and out taking care of all the details of the wedding. They are like a well-oiled machine. Do not think twice! I don't know how we would have done it without them. Bettina and her staff are amazing ladies and just made our wedding day go off without a hitch!

Charlotte Park

Bettina is AMAZING! So much that my father gave her an honorable mention in his speech at our wedding reception. I lived in Phoenix, AZ the whole time I was planning with Bettina. I had my heart set to get married in South Florida, so she made every effort to make sure I had all the information I needed and saw everything (venues, florists, entertainment, etc)... virtually. I was not able to go to Florida at all before the wedding, so for 9 months I had my full trust that she would be able to help navigate me through it through Skype, text, email and a few Facebook messages. My wedding would not have been as amazing and special if Bettina hadn't been as organized and communicative as she was. It goes without saying, she comes highly recommended from myself and my husband.

Rachel Broderick

Bettina and her team are absolute lifesavers! My now-husband, Michael, and I hired Bettina after a few months of wedding planning after our first venue fell through out of nowhere. Bettina came in and helped us find the absolute perfect venue, and made sure that all of our vendors transitioned to the new venue. On top of being incredible with helping us find a new venue, she helped us find other amazing vendors that we hadn't yet booked and came up with incredible decor ideas and made awesome suggestions. She was so good about finding things within our vision and price range! I don't know how we ever thought we could plan a wedding without a planner, especially one like Bettina. Our wedding day was an absolute dream come true. I cried when I saw the reception space because it was everything we could have hoped for, and more. Also, Kristin, our day-of concierge, was EVERYTHING. She helped us manage the timeline of the day while being helpful, funny, and friendly. I can't recommend Bettina and her team enough. If you are considering getting a wedding planner, DO IT & HIRE BETTINA! Thank you so much, Bettina, Adriana & Kristin!

Darleen Hutchins

I would highly recommend Busy Bee Event Planning & Bettina to any bride! She was extremely professional, organized and personable from start to finish. It was easy to communicate with her and she even had excellent recommendations along the way. On the day of, she and her assistant went above and beyond to make sure my friends and family were comfortable, relaxed, and on schedule. There was literally ZERO stress and everyone couldn't believe how relaxed we all were. It was because of Bettina. I can't recommend Busy Bee Event planning enough and can guarantee to any bride, she will make your special day picture perfect. Thank you again for making our day so smooth! Xo

Bettina exceeded all of our expectations in every aspect possible! From day one, she provided us with the peace of mind that we needed to know that we can handle the entire wedding process. Bettina provided amazing recommendations for vendors and assisted with coordinating them ALL. She coordinated a perfect timeline, and ensured everything was right on schedule. Bettina was always available to meet, text, or phone calls. She was always professional and by the end, truly felt like friend. She provides the best advice and was always able to jump in a help me out. Bettina made sure that our wedding day and the entire process leading up to it was seamless. There are honestly not enough words of praise and gratitude that I could use to express our thankfulness to her, and her amazing bridal assistants on the day-of. Not a single detail was forgotten. I cannot imagine planning a wedding without her services. Thank you, Bettina, for making our wedding beyond perfect!

...my wife and I ( wife to be at the time ), started planning our wedding months in advance. Found the perfect venue - a great florist - fantastic Dj and photographer ( both of whom are close friends ), we had it all figured out! We put ourselves under impression that we are all good to go and it will be a super easy night and everything will go as planned. After sharing the good news with a few friends we kept getting the same feedback “ don’t do it on your own, get a wedding planner “! At first, I was hesitant to do so, I have many years experience in hospitality, I know how to run events...then it hit me - I am not running the event! Jessica ( wife ) - decided to look around for a wedding planner, she’s extremely precise and did extensive research to find just what we were looking for. We stumbled upon Bettina and her company Busy Bee, gave her a shot. Once we arranged a meeting and had our first sit down, I felt a huge rock lifted off my chest, the three of bonded fantastically, she understood where we were coming from and what we wanted. In months leading up to the big day, Bettina made efforts to reach out to us a number of times, randomly, just to make sure we are doing good and to check up on any new ideas, changes, and such. Such behavior gave both Jessica and I loads of confidence - it truly showed that she cared, and was not in it just for a quick pay check. Fast forward to the day of the wedding. My anxiety is over the moon, and I am patiently waiting for Bettina to meet us for a final walk thru / rehearsal ( we showed up an hour early to hit the bar ). Within the first 10 minutes - my anxiety departed and suddenly I was more relaxed about the big day. During the day of the wedding, I felt like she was a good friend helping me out more then a wedding planner - in the best way possible (the girl can tie a bow tie like a champ - I can’t even tie my shoes ). The confidence in her work carries over to the bride and groom, which is the most important thing that one can have. Her attention to detail before the ceremony ever began, truly made my day special ( mind you again, I come from hospitality, and freak out about everything that can potentially go sour ). I decided to be “ that guy “ who did a property survey a few hours before the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception - and found myself appalled that everything was prepared and organized above and beyond. I of course had a few little questions here and there, however, before I was finished with my question, she had an answer and was 5 steps ahead. We are truly lucky to have found Bettina and her wonderful staff, our wedding would not have been the same carefree, organized, and simply fun - if it would not be for them!

Hiring Bettina and her team is the best decision I ever made with my wedding. They made the day go seamless, stress free and were such an incredible addition to the wedding process. Bettina is professional, organized and amazing at her job! Her team are equally amazing and having Chey in my bridal suite made my whole day of getting ready to walking down the aisle so much fun. If you are thinking to hire a wedding planner/day of coordinator just DO it, you will be so happy you did and make sure it is Busy Bee!!

Bettina was a tremendous help with our daughter’s wedding! With our family not being from south Florida, she guided and directed us for a perfect wedding in Miami Beach! Thank you Bettina!! We are glad you were our wedding coordinator!!

Thais de Jesus

Bettina aka Busy Bee is the best! :) She was our full service planner from start to finish. She is always available when you need her, very attentive and timely. My husband and I had a very elaborate destination wedding and she was there to guide us and help us through every step. I have worked in the event and service industry for my entire life and Bettina is not only super sweet but she gets s**t done! Bettina Bee is the Bees Knees :) You don't need to look anywhere else!

Bettina and her team are absolutely amazing and professional! Throughout the entire process, she was prompt in returning phone calls and email with myself and the other vendors, thorough in her explanations to help guide with decision making, patient and understanding with the many changes and challenges along the way and offered great suggestions to make the day easy and personalized. She did this all with a great attitude and for the best and most fair rate in town. Not one detail was missed and the entire wedding was perfect! My guests even commented with how organized and flawless all the events flowed and it’s all thanks to Busy Bee's! I am so grateful and highly recommend them!

Bettina is absolutely one of the greatest weddings planners operating in the South Florida area. We found her on The Knot and we’re so happy we did. We initially spoke to her on the phone and we could tell she was the one we wanted to work with. Her professionalism is top notch and from day 1 she promised we wouldn’t have anything to worry about. She followed through on her promise every step of the way. Her response time in communication (text, call, email, etc) - We loved how she created time for us to plan and communicate. Nothing was ever rushed or felt out of control. Attention to details with in the budget and with in decor - Her focus is locked on tight. She is very detail oriented when it comes to contracts and billing. She helped us save a few hundred dollars for something we might have otherwise missed inside of a contract. That made us feel really good. We highly appreciated her recommendations and advise during the whole planning process with colors and decor. We figured since she does this all the time, we could trust her. (lol) Creating a detailed timeline so you have nothing to worry about - We were slow to jump into the incredibly detailed outline she created for us, but once we were on board, it made life so much easier. We were able to see the day before it even happened, knowing all we had to do was show up. That piece alone allowed us to be stress free. The relationships she has with her vendors and team are exceptional. -When we were unsure of finding the right DJ she came in and with an “I don’t give up” attitude and made it happen giving us best DJ we could’ve hoped for. Thanks to her, Parisi Events blessed our special day. Her assistants were also awesome. They were always there ready to help in anyway possible and also keep you on time on the day of. If I didn’t say it before I’ll say it again... there is nothing you have to worry about when Bettina is your wedding planner. We’re so excited to be finally be married. and we’re more than grateful to have had you as our planner. Much love to you and your team Bettina! Thank you!

I can't even begin to say enough wonderful things about Busy Bee's and their team! They kept me on track, they kept me calm, and they made sure everything went smoothly. I was always going to hire a planner, but my mom didn't think it was necessary. By the end of the planning, she couldn't be happier that we hired Busy Bee's! Bettina and Adriana are such a power team! All of the vendors she recommended were amazing, they ensured we stayed on track the day of (and on budget!), sewed together a Bridesmaids dress, and made sure if there were any issues that they were taken care of. Hiring Busy Bee's was the best money I could have spent on the wedding. It was the best piece of mind I could have asked for. They were so easily accessible (email, text, call) and I can't say enough amazing things about them!
