Reviews of Something Bleu Wedding & Event Planning

Grace Payne

As a florist whose been in the industry for almost 10 years I have worked with tons of planners and Julie is hands down the BEST around! If you are looking for a planner who prides herself in giving impeccable customer service, undivided attention, has an amazing eye for design and makes you feel so important the day of your wedding whilst navigating and directing all your vendors, Julie is your girl! She makes planning & event coordinating look effortless, is so personable, professional and is truly someone you want in your corner throughout the planning process and day of! I have personally worked with Julie on some of my biggest and most beautiful weddings and can not recommend her enough! As a vendor, it can be difficult finding planners who work really well and coordinates with all vendors. Julie makes sure that everyone has any and all information needed to make your wedding day run smoothly. She's a GEM and your need to hire her now because she books up quick!!

Julia Shepherd

Julie is absolutely amazing!! Our wedding day was perfect in every way because of Julie, and we are so grateful for her. Julie is such a pleasure to work with, she is kind, extremely organized, and her attention to detail is unmatched. We started working with Julie at the beginning of the planning process, and we were immediately relieved of any stress. Julie truly cares about the couples she works with, and she worked so hard to make sure our wedding dreams became a reality. Throughout the year of planning, Julie stayed in constant contact with us and our other vendors to make sure everything was on track. She made herself readily available and came to every vendor meeting, answered emails and texts immediately, and lent her amazing design eye at every step. During the final months before the wedding, Julie's magic really shined as she developed an extremely detailed timeline of the wedding day and made sure all of our vendors knew the exact plan. When it came time for the big day, we didn't worry or think about logistics at all, because we knew Julie had it covered. When we walked into the ceremony and reception spaces for the first time, we both gasped at how beautifully everything was put together. We are so thankful we worked with Julie. She made it possible for us to really sit back and enjoy the planning process, and most importantly, enjoy our wedding day with no worries. We highly highly recommend Julie for all of your wedding planning, design and coordination needs. She is a miracle worker!

It feels impossible to write a review for Julie that can adequately describe our gratitude for her. The best way to characterize her role would be to call her the conductor of our wedding. She guided us through the 18+ month process with expertise and professionalism, but also with creativity, flexibility and warmth. As is likely true for most people planning their weddings, a lot of “life stuff” happened in the months between booking venue and the big day. Julie helped us prioritize urgent vs non-urgent tasks and allowed us to direct our energy towards only the most critical things when it was in short supply. When our lives slowed down, she was there to chat with us for hours about our vision and always had great ideas on how to bring it to life. I addition to her personal skills, Julie’s relationships with other vendors were critical for us. She found our DJ, photographer and florist (among other vendors), all of whom were incredibly talented and within our budget. I don't think that it would be a stretch to say that she assembled a Dream Team. This is not something that we thought a lot about when starting to plan, but by the wedding day it was clearly a very critical component for success. We should say that our wedding was literally perfect in every way, in large part because Julie orchestrated the event with grace and skill. By the end of the process, she felt more like a friend than a vendor. Were we to do it all again, Julie would be our first call. We feel so lucky to have found her and would recommend her to every couple looking for a planner.

Words are insufficient to describe how impressed and appreciative we are of the truly exceptional job Julie Riley did as our two-month planner and day-of coordinator. After months of handling the planning myself, with much frustration and disappointment, it was hard to believe that anyone would come in and pull everything together. I was so glad to be proven wrong. From our first meeting to begin the two-month coverage, I could see how organized, knowledgeable, and experienced Julie was. She quickly not only gained, but truly earned my trust, showing she would go above and beyond in ensuring we had the very best experience possible. All tasks were handled quickly and expertly, and always to my wishes. Not only was the work done well and right, but with a level of thoughtfulness that made me feel like I was her only client, though I knew she had many others to juggle. When it was time for the wedding, Julie handled every aspect of the day with poise, dedication, and expertise. She seemed to be in all places at once, making sure everything ran smoothly despite the many obstacles thrown at her. She not only did her own part, but fixed mistakes on the part of others which would otherwise have been disastrous. Without a doubt, she was the hero of the day, and made sure the wedding was not just wonderful for us, but for all our guests. I could not recommend Julie more highly or have better things to say about her, both as a person and a professional. My only regret is not hiring her sooner!

We had the pleasure of working with Julie Riley at Something Bleu for our December 2022 wedding at The Newbury and we truly cannot recommend Julie enough. Any couple reading this should immediately reach out to Julie to see if she’s available for your wedding—she is just that great! Julie is super experienced, has tremendous industry knowledge, and was fantastic at every step of our planning process: from sourcing vendors and attending vendor meetings with us, to guiding us through food and beverage selections, to the aesthetics design of our ceremony and reception, to working with the venue at every step of the way, and much, much more. On the day of our wedding, Julie and her assistant Mallory were absolutely incredible. They attended to everything--from the big tasks, like vendor load-ins and set-up, to the tiny details, like holding my lip gloss or grabbing waters for the bridal party during photos--in a way that allowed us (and our families and bridal party) to relax and enjoy the day with no stress. Aside from being superbly competent and skilled at her job, Julie is also a caring person who we genuinely enjoyed getting to know over the past several months! Julie has a great sense of humor and was also a calming force for us during the planning process. Perhaps the best testament to how impressed we were with Julie is the fact that, after hearing us rave about our experience with Julie over the past year, my sister and her fiancé decided to hire Julie for their upcoming fall wedding! We're looking forward to seeing Julie put together yet another beautiful event and are so happy we found her!

My advice to future mothers-of-the-bride: hire a planner. More specifically, hire certified wedding planner Julie at Something Bleu. Your daughter’s wedding will be different in many ways from your own wedding years ago, different from your niece’s, your neighbor’s, your colleague’s daughter’s. All the networking in the world won’t give you what Something Bleu will: a well-connected, experienced professional devoted to making sure your daughter’s wedding runs smoothly so your family can focus on enjoying the day. Julie was our go-to resource for vendor recommendations, communication, and follow-up questions. She coordinated with everyone at the church and the reception, and made sure the wedding party, guests, and vendors knew where they needed to be throughout the day. When there were challenges - and every wedding seems to have them! - vendors would contact Julie, who would then contact us with a solution already worked out. Her day-of assistance was critical to the success of the day. My husband and I can honestly say it was one of the best days of our lives, and we owe so much of the credit to Something Bleu!

Emily Haubert

Julie was great to work with from the beginning: straightforward, practical, and bringing her in early really paid off in the last couple months when all the little detail questions start to hit. Thanks to her work coordinating all vendors (even a late addition we hadn't initially planned for) so thoroughly in advance, we had a beautiful, absolutely carefree wedding day, despite a last-minute obstacle! She dealt with ensuring everyone was insured, vaccinated, understood what we were going for, and showed up when needed - as busy as the last month felt, I knew with her I wouldn't have to lift a finger regarding all the vendors. She really understood my priorities, and I'm so grateful to have had her as a support and sounding board!

We hired Julie about 6 months before our wedding, because we realized we were in way over our heads. We booked her for the partial planning package, and even though she officially started 8 weeks before the wedding, she sent over some questionnaires for us to fill out ahead of time that were immensely helpful, as they prepared information for our other vendors as well. Julie was exactly what we needed. She reminded us of little details we might need, and when we might need them. She organized all of our day-of items. She created a custom timeline for us and sent to all of our vendors, so I didn't have to coordinate with those other vendors, which was easily one of the best things she did for us. She was available for all of my crazy questions, and when the day came, I knew there wasn't a single thing I needed to worry about. My husband and I couldn't be happier to have hired Julie when we did, and would highly recommend her for a perfect wedding day. I only wish I had hired her sooner!

Kayla Prunier

We used Julie for the last few months of planning and coordination. Julie was absolutely phenomenal and ensured a smooth wedding day from start to finish. We had multiple issues to address the week of the wedding, such as, protests where our photos were scheduled to take place and a road closure where our ceremony was being held. Julie to the rescue! Her attention to detail, time management, and calming nature is truly unmatched. I said multiple times the day of our wedding that I couldn’t imagine not having her as a part of our day. We would use Julie 100 times over! My only regret, not having her plan our entire wedding!

Julie from Something Bleu Wedding & Event Planning is fantastic and so wonderful to work with. She is attentive, organized and genuine. She is extremely knowledgeable in the wedding industry and works so well with both couples and vendors. Your only regret will be, not hiring her for your wedding!

Carolyn Lynch

From start to finish, Julie of Something Bleu was an incredible help throughout the planning process for my daughter's wedding. She made us instantly feel at ease and her positive, can-do attitude was so helpful and very much appreciated. She graciously navigated any bumps in the road and seamlessly orchestrated the wedding day which was a beautiful and personal celebration for my daughter and our family. We couldn't be more thankful for her help and would highly recommend her to anyone getting married in the Northeast.

Wedding planning is a remarkably complicated management task. It requires a wide range of skills -- attention to detail, vendor and stakeholder management, financial planning, and a keen design sense. Julie has these in spades. If you are planning a wedding in New England we highly recommend Julie. She was simply a pleasure to work with. Our wedding was amazing – it was fun and beautiful and low-stress. It was exactly what we wanted and exactly what we envisioned. Julie pulled it off beautifully and working with her for months through the process was a whole lot of fun. We are so glad we found Julie – she is a pro and a pleasure to work with. Julie was always available to work with us on our schedule. She made time on nights and weekends. She would always take our calls or answer our texts. Somehow, despite her busy schedule, she made us feel as though we we were her only clients. There are three stages to wedding planning – the design/planning stage, the home stretch, and the actual wedding day. Julie was brilliant in all three stages. Here’s why: I. The Planning Stage We were immediately struck by Julie’s attention to detail, her range of connections in the industry and her knowledge of the process. Julie knew the questions to ask us so that she could help us design and plan the perfect wedding. Julie was able to connect us to a range of wonderful vendors that fit our style, vision, and budget. She sat on every call, knew what questions to ask the vendors (and what questions to ask us) and went through every contract we signed. I am a lawyer and I was incredibly impressed with Julie’s ability to drill down on key contract terms and ask the right questions of each vendor. Her organizational spreadsheet was incredible. It kept us on task and on budget. We probably needed more management than most, and Julie managed us beautifully. Julie is much more than an organizational powerhouse. We thought she was an excellent designer. She did a beautiful job with our mood board and had so many fun design ideas that we would never have thought of ourselves. She was indispensable in helping pick our table design and florals. She has loads of experience and design sense. It shows. II. The Final Stretch Julie really shined down the stretch. When vendors were being difficult she just handled them. She worked with us and all our vendors to create the perfect timeline so that everything would go exactly according to plan (it did). She coordinated with everyone. She made what could have been a stressful time a lot of fun III. The Wedding Day The wedding day went perfectly, in large part due to Julie. She coordinated everything and did all the behind the scenes work so our day was stress free and perfect. Because of Julie’s hard work there were no surprises. There was nothing to stress about.

Maura Mercier

We got married in Salem, MA on 8.28.21 in a backyard private estate wedding and hired Julie as our day of coordinator. Julie was fantastic!!! She is extremely knowledgeable and gave us such useful information and recommendations during the planning process. She was so helpful leading up to our big day and took over all the communication with our vendors. She is extremely organized and created the most perfectly detailed timeline of the day. She worked with all our vendors and made sure they knew exactly when to arrive and what to do. We felt so comfortable and at ease the day of our wedding knowing Julie was taking care of everything. She was also so hands on in helping set up all our table arrangements and decorations. We wouldn’t have been able to pull off our wedding day without her. On top of being amazing and a total pro at her profession, she was so sweet and lovely to work with. Definitely recommend!!!

If you think you can survive wedding planning without a wedding coordinator…think again and think Something Bleu Wedding & Event Planning. Julie is truly a professional in wedding planning and is highly experienced with “ground up” estate weddings. Her stellar interpersonal and leadership skills helped communicating between vendors with different styles appear seamless. This created a cohesive vendor team the day of the wedding. Her knowledge regarding industry standards supported my vision which made it easy to approach her with changes and strategy. Julie, ensured our vendor orders were flawless when they were missing essential items like chairs, ensured that I stayed on track with her tailored checklists before big day, and advocated for my needs and wants when others were pushing for theirs. She even suggested that we change our ceremony staging around to showcase a better view, which I did not regret! I say all this to boost her professional experience, which is well deserved, but Julie made a lasting impression on us as a person. Her calm demeanor during stress, her finesse in the way she asked questions and relayed changes, and her poise set her apart from others in the business. We would highly recommend Julie of Something Bleu Wedding & Event Planning to any couple who is looking for 5 Star guidance and support through their wedding experience.

When we first booked our wedding venue and learned it came with an on-site event coordinator, we thought we wouldn't need to hire a separate planner. Then the reality of wedding planning hit us - it's a lot of sending emails, managing vendor communications, and strategic timeline building. None of this was work our on-site coordinator was contracted to help with, and it started to become overwhelming, especially as we planned our wedding from out-of-state and dealing with covid. The best decision we made was to book Julie of Something Bleu to essentially 'project manage' the two months leading up to our wedding and be there to support us on the day-of. Knowing she was there to answer questions, create our schedule, and guide us through the decision making process took so much pressure off the final months leading up to the big day. And on the day-of, she was the one who made every detail, big and small, run smoothly. It really was thanks to Julie that my fiancé, our families and I were able to relax and enjoy the day. I can't recommend her enough!

Molly Dowd

We absolutely loved working with Julie! She is so warm and friendly and we would have been lost without her! We decided to have our wedding about 10 weeks before our date and from the minute we found Julie it was evident we needed her help! Julie was willing to help with anything we needed and she was a wonderful person to bounce off ideas. Her organization made our day seamless and we never needed to think of anything. Julie is incredibly organized and is a great communicator. We were able to have a wonderful day because Julie had everything under control. We would have been lost without Julie and we would highly recommend couples to work with her.

Kylie MacLeod

Julie was amazing from the beginning and was attentive to every little detail. We decided to ask for her “day of” services with about 2 months left until our wedding due to gradually increasing the amount of items and set up for the big day. Since our first consultation, I knew Julie was the right match for us as she was so kind and up front with the services she offered. As the big day drew nearer, more detailed decorations were added and she brought in her assistant Jessica who was amazing on the big day with her skills of setting up and attentiveness to us as a couple. They made sure we were aware of all the little changes throughout the day (including the change in timeline due to transportation being late) and managed to allow the event to go off without a hitch. I highly recommend Julie if you need any type of coordinator, whether a full planner of day of coordinator!

Kawinthi Fernando

As a wedding planner myself, I knew I would need help executing my own wedding day. As soon as I met Julie, from Something Bleu Weddings & Events, I knew no one else would compare! From the minute we started working together, Julie was meticulous, thoughtful, and reassuring - I had nothing but confidence in her to bring our special day together, and she delivered absolute perfection! We hosted a 200-guest wedding, with lots of curated, personalized details, and a large wedding party - Julie managed it all with ease and grace. As soon as she arrived in the morning to our chaotic suite with 13 people getting hair & makeup done, she calmed the storm. She flawlessly styled our details, to make sure we had photos of all the important stationery and momentos, on top of managing the timing, wedding party, and all of the ceremony prep that had to occur in a very short window of time. She was able to seamlessly wrangle our large wedding party at our ceremony, and took care of details that I hadn’t even thought of (like making sure our extra ceremony items made it back to our reception venue). When we made it to our reception site, everything was absolutely perfect - she styled all of our personalized items, including putting together our 7’ x 10’ escort board exactly how we envisioned it. During our reception, Julie was by my side for whatever we needed, including helping me into and out of various outfits & shoes! She managed the timing of the reception, and even though we were running behind at one point, she seamlessly worked with our vendor team to make sure everything got back on track, all while reassuring us along the way. I cannot recommend Julie enough, as a fellow planner and now, a former bride. If you are looking for someone to flawlessly plan and execute your event, she’s the one you want by your side!

Christina Spleen

Day of Coordinators are the silent unsung heroes of the wedding day. As a fellow wedding vendor I always encourage brides to have one if they don't already have a full planner or coordinator. So when it came to my own wedding day I knew I needed a day of coordinator to relieve any day of pressures and keep everything running smoothly. I can't even begin to describe how happy I am that I connected with Julie. From our initial conversation I could tell how organized and detail-focused she was. It was also clear that she had a passion for planning and coordinating. She brought up so many great points and reminders that I didn't even think about! And as a fellow wedding vendor I thought I had this on lock. Her communication through the whole process was incredibly professional, reassuring, and kind. When it came to the actual wedding day it was such an incredible relief to not worry about setup and logistics. Instead I could focus on marrying the love of my life and celebrating with my friends. I chose to have my wedding at a venue where I knew that I could bring in all my own vendors I wanted from catering to alcohol to decor. Julie made sure that each vendor knew the correct timeline for deliveries and helped to make sure everything was in place. She even set up the sweetheart table and table decor! And while Julie did an outstanding job coordinating the day and making sure everything ran smoothly, I will be forever grateful for her kindness and genuine willingness to make sure that my husband and I had nothing to worry about. My father has some mobility issues and specific health needs and Julie made sure that my parents were comfortable. Even making sure that my dad got to the reception hall first to make sure he could comfortably access anything he needed. She also checked in on my parents throughout the night to make sure they had everything they were ok. We also had our dog be part of our wedding and Julie checked up on her during the reception a few times making sure she got a few walks and extra attention. My husband and I are forever grateful for the part Julie played in making our day as fun and easy as it was. If you are looking for someone that you can trust with your wedding day, Julie is IT.

Margaret Grace

Julie was a life / wedding saver. She stepped in about a month from the wedding. She picked right up going over all of our contracts, contacting vendors to get more information, scheduling multiple calls and a site visit with us to get aligned with what we wanted, needed, and what we had. Her communication and professionalism is incredible. I always felt like her only client, even though I knew she was managing multiple jobs at the same time. She made me feel confident that we were in good shape and had thought of everything. She has a ton of resources for preparation lists, tipping guides, and just experience and guidance that she can provide. The day of the wedding, I was able to relax and get prepped with no interruptions or issues. Julie handled all of the issues with the designated individuals to ensure that our day was seamless and stress free. I didn’t know about anything until after. After the ceremony, she was a dream, always there when I needed water, a drink, to find someone, to follow up on something, or even to sew back on my bustle. While a lot of amazing vendors went into planning the day, it was Julie who brought it all together and delivered us the most perfect day. Seriously, you need her. You will not be disappointed with the experience and it will ensure that you have the most perfect day like I did.

Jessica Taylor

Julie from Something Bleu Wedding & Event Planning was a great resource in helping me plan an intimate wedding in 2 months! Julie hit the ground running with helping us secure a venue that offered an intimate wedding package, which is what we wanted, and gave great vendor referrals that matched our style and budget. Julie was professional, kind, very organized, and a pleasure to work with from start to finish. My husband and I would highly recommend Julie to anyone looking for a skilled wedding planner with great industry connections! Thank you for helping us with our special day!

Michalene Pandolph

Julie and her assistant were an absolute pleasure to work with! From all her work behind the scenes to her day of services, Julie did not disappoint. She kept our wedding day moving and most importantly organized. Julie worked extremely well with all of our vendors, especially our venue coordinator. She kept the communication flowing and made sure everyone followed the timeline which was a huge request of mine. I did not want to be late! I also had a lot of decorations and she executed my vision flawlessly. Overall, working with Julie from Something Bleu was a great experience from start to finish and I would highly recommend her!

J Mead

Julie is just absolutely wonderful to work with! She is sweet, attentive, responsive, organized and very accommodating. We hired her as our Day of Wedding Coordinator and very happy we did. She took the time to listen to all the details at one month out and one week prior to the wedding day. She contacted all vendors and kept them in check the week of the wedding. Our wedding day needed a point person to manage the tight timeline as it involved getting the chapel ready for ceremony right after an afternoon Mass, decorating the reception venue, as well as getting the Bridal Party to the ceremony right on time while also working with many other vendors with their own timelines. In the end everything went smoothly and all our guests had a grand time. All thanks to Julie who I highly recommend!

Rebecca Glendening

Julie from Something Bleu was our wedding coordinator for our May 2017 wedding. Julie was a total blessing. She took over on the day of when we couldn't be there to set up and handle all of the day's details. She was exactly what we needed. She was easy to contact, to ask questions, and gave us her honest thoughts. We completely trusted her feedback and she never guided us wrong. She toured our wedding reception site ahead of time, and she helped us plan out the table settings. We were working with a truly unique space in an art gallery. It really set our minds at ease that she saw the space and knew how to set it up on the big day. Our guests really enjoyed Julie, she kept our evening running smoothly, kept me hydrated, and figured out my bustle for me. She is truly the best and wouldn't have trusted anyone else for our wedding.

Marilyn Vickers

I am a wedding calligrapher in the New England area and I have had the pleasure of working with Julie of Something Bleu Weddings for two styled shoots. Julie is such a talented wedding planner who is organized, communicative, passionate, creative, and simply a joy to work with! Her attention to detail and the effort she gives each wedding/event is evident to her passion and servant's heart to go above and beyond for each of her cleints and their events. She had a clear vision that she communicated well and gave me everything that I needed to create according to the event's aesthetic which I greatly appreciated as a wedding vendor. I highly recommend having Julie for her planning and design services for your wedding or event!

Diane Buscemi

Julie of Something Bleu Wedding & Event Planning saved our entire wedding day in simple and grand measures. She was our Day of Event Wedding Coordinator (Director) and she was SO helpful to us. Beyond measurable if we reflect more on it! From keeping us on schedule, to helping direct wedding guests from shuttle buses to the church and then at the reception from outside to the indoor reception rooms, she commanded an audience. Julie teamed with the Sales Director at our reception site, along with our 2 photographers and 2 videographers. Julie saved my first wedding dress' bustle and my Groom, our wedding party and me are eternally grateful for that! She cared a LOT about us, the Bride and Groom, and integrated herself into being a KEY member of our Wedding Squad. She felt like family! Julie is a wonderful, genuine, professional and new friend!

Our wedding day was flawless, thanks to Julie. Before the wedding, she came to the venue with us to meet with the event staff to help coordinate the menu, room set up and timeline. She offered great suggestions (things I never would have thought of; we took her suggestions) and was always available if we had questions. She contacted the other vendors to ascertain time-frames (for cake delivery, DJ set up, flowers, etc) and was invaluable to the event staff the day of the wedding... and to us. The timeline she wrote for us was spot on and she made sure that everyone followed it. She got my step son ready for his toast, coordinated all day of activities (distributed gratuities, accepted flower and cake deliveries, etc) and on this boiling hot day always had water available to us and anything else we needed. We have three kids in their twenties and I hope they all get married locally so we can use Julie's services. I really want to have another event just so we can work with her again. Julie's coordinator services were the best investment we made on our wedding day. We would have been ok with no flowers but if we didn't have Julie we would have been lost. Thanks Julie!!

Garima Giri

We are so glad we decided to work with Julie! My husband and I lived in two different states across the country while planning for our wedding in New England. Julie's recommendations and insights were key when picking everything from our venue to the decorations. With her experience, she not only provided us with options for vendors within our budget, but she also helped us figure out how to allocate our budget. She was incredibly on top of everything throughout the process. The wedding day went off without a hitch, despite the giant thunderstorm right before our outdoor ceremony. We would highly recommend working with her as you plan your wedding!

Julie Roach

My best friend shifted gears on her wedding plans due to covid and decided to have an intimate wedding within 3 weeks notice at an airbnb rental property. I knew she needed help so I reached out to Julie from Something Bleu and used her Consulting services. Julie was able to coordinate a photographer in my friends budget and style and hair and makeup artist within 3 weeks of the wedding. Her vendor recommendations were great! My friend ended up hiring Julie 2 weeks out from her wedding date for Day of Wedding Coordination and as a guest at the wedding I can say that Julie did a fantastic job stepping in with 2 weeks notice. She was very attentive to all of the details, helped keep the day flowing smoothly with the photographer and caterer and made sure the guest tables under the tent were set up perfectly. I would highly recommend Julie to help plan your wedding!

Samantha K

I recently worked with Julie on a backyard intimate wedding on Cape Cod (as a photographer) - and let me tell you what a pleasure it was!! Julie had everything completed in a timely manner (and by everything I mean emails, timelines, setup, etc.), backup plans, and a vision that completely transformed the backyard into a dreamy elegant garden party for our client. She was so great & easy to work with, and the day ran smoothly solely because of her. Something Bleu is already on my recommended vendor list for all my future clients because she is just THAT. DANG. GOOD.

Cassandra Stern

As a wedding vendor, it's very important for me to build a team of strong, professional, and timely fellow vendors that can help create an optimal experience for our shared clients. This is exactly what I found in Julie! Working with her was enjoyable. She was timely with her email responses and warm in her interactions. I would be more than happy to work with Julie again!

Kelly Albino

I planned a backyard, tented wedding at my parents' house, and Julie's help was crucial in having such an amazing day. She helped us organize the flow and layout of the yard ahead of time. She quickly answered any (long or short) emails thoroughly throughout the planning process. On the day of my wedding, she arrived, briefly checked in with my mother and me about the specifics of what we had agreed to, and then got straight to work setting up our tables and decorations without any further questions. She appeared exactly when needed to help facilitate the ceremony timing, and blended seamlessly into the background during all other moments, organizing and taking care of anything that needed to be handled. A wedding goes by so quickly, and having Julie around allowed my mother, the host, to focus on greeting old friends and walking me down the aisle, rather than greeting vendors or fetching last-minute needs. Julie Riley is well organized, experienced, and very knowledgeable about all aspects of all types of weddings. I would highly recommend her service to any bride, and especially any bride hosting a backyard wedding.

Shannon Fitzpatrick

We could not have handled our 120 guest backyard wedding without Julie's day of the wedding management. If you are on the fence about whether to hire her, it will be the best money you spend on your wedding or other event. I wanted to be guest at our daughter's wedding held at our home. On the day of the wedding, I was a wreck until she arrived and took over. Julie was so calm and professional; I just left everything in her hands for the rest of the day. It was perfect.

Lauralee Sampere

As soon as Julie came on board to help organize and plan my baby shower I was excited and relieved knowing her very tasteful ideas, understanding of my likes and dislikes, and her ability to be immensely organized! Julie is very creative and all of her planning has a touch of elegance and sweet tradition to it. She truly just loves to make folx happy and does so selflessly. She is the most wonderful and thoughtful person to have on your team!

Rebecca Riley

Julie did a wonderful job designing a graduation party for my daughter. She chose a decorative spa theme (as my daughter received her Esthetics license) and the colors were amazing. She also was selective in items and took the time to purchase items that were cost effective for my budget, which was a plus for me. Additionally, she handled the layout and communication with the restaurant, which helped me greatly as I was located out of state. Overall, it was a beautiful day that went smoothly and efficiently, and I have Julie to thank for that! I highly recommend you contact her to plan your next event! You won't be disappointed.

Lindsay Lundy

Julie at Something Bleu Wedding and Event Planning assisted me with my beach-themed wedding this past June. Throughout the process, she was there with creative ideas and suggestions that fit my budget! She created starfish for me that were used as part of our centerpieces, and took time to help me organize and assemble all of our wedding favors! She also has connections throughout the industry and sent along great recommendations for vendors, always with our budget in mind. She is friendly, open to ideas and suggestions, and extremely responsive. Whenever I got stuck on something, I reached out to Julie and she always had plenty of ideas for me! I definitely enjoying brainstorming and bouncing ideas back and forth with her! Because of Julie's help and creativity, we ended up with the perfect wedding! Several of our guests contacted us the days and weeks following saying how beautiful our wedding was, and it wouldn't have happened without all of Julie's assistance! I highly recommend Something Bleu Wedding & Event Planning for anyone planning a wedding, and needing assistance bringing their vision to life!

From day 1 after I spoke with Julia, she went straight t o work. She heard all my call outs that I had mentioned to her about my daughter’s first birthday celebration & it turned out to be an amazing event. She was very responsive throughout the process & helped with entire birthday planning. Myself & including family was extremely happy with her :) thank you Julie for everything!!! Cant wait to work with you on another event sooon!

Julie was a dream to work with for my daughter's nautical themed baby shower! Wonderful to brainstorm ideas with and always quick to reply. Her service made it a very special day for everyone! I couldn't have asked for a more perfect baby shower for my daughter and soon to arrive baby boy.

I don’t know what we would have done without Julie on our wedding day. She did it all (and more) for us to ensure everything went smoothly. Our families are still raving about her to us, weeks after! Thank you Julie!
