Reviews of Michelle Perez Events (Event Planner)

Marleen Perello

Michelle and her staff are amazing!!! She is on point with her work. She is very professional We had to adjust our budget and she was still willing to work with us as a day of coordinator. We came up with a timeline and she made sure we stuck to it. Any problems that had to be resolved (which were alot), was resolved. I will recommend her and her staff to anyone that is in need of a wedding planner. She will make your stressful day at ease. Michelle definitely talked me out of the ledge a couple of times, without her even knowing I was about to jump... lol She over exceeded our expectations!!! Once again, will definitely recommend her to anyone needing an event/wedding planner.

Michelle was excellent as my wedding planner. I had only about two months to get everything ready for my wedding. She not only helped me find the best people but also made sure I stayed on budget. On the day of my wedding she took care of everything and made sure everything ran smoothly. Thank you so much for all your help!

Although my hubby was apprehensive about hiring a wedding planner/coordinator, I cannot say enough, how Michelle and her team were the saving grace to our wedding. From the outset, she was incredibly helpful and informative. We planned our wedding in about 8 months, and throughout the process she made sure we knew what needed to be done, and kept us moving along - which was a tall order since the hubby and I often couldn't agree and it took us a little longer to come to a decision on things. When it came to our budget, she was understanding and always had a number of options for us to consider. As the wedding date grew near, she helped me pick flowers and find the best local vendor. She put much of my anxiety at ease when she met with me to go over the timeline for the day of the wedding, as well as the to do list for the last 2 weeks. In doing so, she made sure no stone was left unturned - she thinks of everything! And on the day of my wedding, she was my guardian angel. The level of stuff that went wrong on our wedding day could serve as a screen play for a comedy but Michelle kept everything together - and kept me away from some well-intentioned, albeit super annoying relatives/friends. What's even more amazing about her is that even though the makeup artist was late, and the groom couldn't find his keys so he hadn't left to the church yet, and our parents got stuck in traffic making the ceremony more than an hour late - Michelle was the epitome of grace and determination. Thanks to her, we were able to make up for lost time, take our pictures and make it for the cocktail hour on time. Michelle I will never be able to thank you enough. Brides, if you are unsure of whether you will need help on your wedding day - trust me you will! And if you can, hire Michelle, it will be the best spent money in your budget.

Being a friend of ours, Michelle was our first choice to help plan our 10 year vow renewal. Her style also matched ours as we wanted an outdoorsy wedding at a barn. She introduced us to our dream venue, Sterlingbrook Farm and it took off from there. Michelle busted her butt making sure that everything was on point and designed beautifully. We did not have to worry about a thing which we appreciated so much. She also designed and put together my bouquet which was absolutely stunning and my favorite detail of the day. My only regret of the night was not sitting back and absorbing all of the work she put in but all of our guest raved about every detail and how beautiful it was. It was definitely better than our first wedding and we may just have to do it again for our 20th!

We had an amazing experience with Michelle & the team!! Planning a wedding can be very stressful but with Michelle’s help every step of the way, I can’t remember a time I was worried or stressed. From day one, she was ready to help us tackle our big!! She did everything from helping us with our timelines, making sure our day was smooth, keeping our vendors in check but most importantly making sure that we had the time of our lives!! The team worked very well with our vendors and ensured everything ran smoothly, which was definitely a load off of us. I could not thank them enough for all that they've done. They are absolutely amazing! VER VERY detail oriented, great organizational skills and can work big indian weddings!! Thank you so much for all that you’ve done for us!! Krishna and Sunny

Working with Michelle at Michelle Perez Events was incredibly smooth! ReelStyle Bridal is a beauty company specializing in hair styling services and we have worked with many wedding planners in the past with mixed experiences. Working with Michelle was a breeze! She was organized, responsive, and extremely professional. Our team was able to work at our best to provide the best bridal experience in conjunction with Michelle!

Michelle and her team produced an incredible day that was worthy of nothing short of 5 stars. She is a pleasure to work with and will go above and beyond to make sure your day is everything you could ever want. If you are newly engaged, plan a meeting with Michelle... you won't be disappointed that you did!

We hired Michelle and her team to be the Day Of Coordinator for our wedding and we are SO glad we did!! We had a traditional indian wedding and reception in the same day which, in short, is just a lot of logistics of manage. Michelle and her team went above and beyond to keep us all organized so that we could simply enjoy the best day of our lives so far! For us, the bride and groom, and our immediate families she was just the positive, calming and guiding force we needed. With our vendors, she was incredibly professional and kept everyone track. She was our eyes and ears when we couldn't be. For example, our dance floor was almost set up incorrectly and too small, but, Michelle stepped in using her own judgement to convince the venue that it could be made bigger and it was! Moreover, I had forgotten to give her the contact info for our baraat horse/carriage vendor since my father-in-law had booked it. I only remember to tell her on the day of and she simply said "don't worry, I'll take care of it" and she did! It also ended up raining on our wedding morning and so we had to move all of our photos as well as the baraat indoors at the last minute and she made it all happen seamlessly! I could go on and on with the examples from the wedding. I'm truly amazed by the MPE team and would recommend them in heartbeat!

We truly feel that Michelle was fully invested in making sure our wedding day was perfect, and thanks to her, it was! We wanted a New Orleans second line parade in New Jersey. Well this required a second line band, which is not easy to find here. Michelle pulled off this unique request and our guests loved it. We can't recommend her enough."

Michelle was absolutely AMAZING. We hired her to be our day-of coordinator for our wedding in July, but not only did she make our day stress-free, she also helped us every step of the way. She always made herself available to answer questions, consult on wedding planning dilemmas, and make excellent recommendations for other vendors. Her "marathon meeting", where you discuss all the final details of your wedding, will save your life. It took all the stress away and made us feel like everything was under control. And the day of the wedding -- not a single thing went wrong, which I totally attribute to Michelle's ability to mitigate any situation. She gracefully handled divorced parents, our DIY flowers, and coordinated all our vendors and events of the night. And she's an absolute pleasure to work with -- she genuinely felt like a pal throughout the whole process! I would HIGHLY recommend Michelle to anyone looking to hire a wedding planner.

Michelle was beyond incredible to work with!!! I seriously CANNOT imagine getting through our wedding without her. She was so on top of everything and coordinated with all of our vendors in advance. Having her there for the rehearsal was so helpful. There are SO many little things leading up to the big day and she was such a great sounding board for any questions that we had. I HIGHLY recommend Michelle. We had several guests attend our wedding who are in the process of planning their own weddings and we told them that they simply MUST work with her. Michelle and her staff are simply amazing at what they do and were our advocates every step of the way.

Michelle was, without a doubt, the best money we spent when planning our 25th Anniversary Vow Renewal. I am very detailed and organized, and I thought I would struggle finding someone to handle things the way I would. Michelle far surpassed my expectations. She is extremely professional, works well under pressure and tight deadlines, and is an absolute pleasure to work with. Or 25th anniversary party was an amazing day. Michelle was responsible for much of that. We couldn’t have done it without her. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking to enjoy their special day without the worries of making sure things go as planned. From the moment we engaged her until the last moment of the party, Michelle worked hard to ensure everything was perfect.

Michelle and her team were incredible. We had a 3 day Summer Camp style wedding and they made everything seem effortless and according to plan. Michelle and I met a few months into our wedding planning and she was always there via email or cell to help me with any decisions or questions. She made sure every everything and everyone was where they needed to be and kept me calm with her relaxed deamenor. The weekend of our wedding was absolutely perfect thanks to Michelle and the girls!
