Hiring Chelsea was the best decision I made in planning our outdoor tented wedding at Stone Acres farm from across country. Her practical advice and aesthetic taste made for the perfect planning partner. She was always on our side and helped us navigate everything. On the day of, I was worried about absolutely ZERO thanks to Chelsea and team and it was the best day ever. Chelsea literally carried my train crouched down through the waist-high boxwood gardens so it wouldn’t get caught and she wouldn’t be seen in photos. I also found her pricing to be super fair considering her quality, attention, and skill. 12 out of 10 would recommend.

If you only take one thing away from everything I’m about to write, let it be this: hire Chelsea and her amazing team at Pearl Weddings and Events! It will be one of the best decisions you make about your big day. Shortly after I got engaged, my Instagram algorithm kept showing me everything wedding related in Connecticut. I kept seeing beautiful events and noticed that many of them were planned by Pearl. I looked into Pearl and Chelsea and got an immediate good vibe! When my now-husband and I had a meeting with her, I knew within a few minutes that she was smart, genuine, organized, sweet, and a beautiful soul. If you’re thinking this is an odd way to describe a professional wedding planner… you haven’t met Chelsea yet. We decided to work with her and got to planning! Chelsea guided us with our vendors, and she handled setting up all the vendor meetings and venue tours and was with us every step of the way. I have a much easier time explaining what I don’t like rather than what I do like, and she totally got what I was explaining for our design and vision about the day in general. She brought us to look at the magical venue we ended up choosing, which we never would have known about if it weren’t for her. Our wedding date was set for June 2020 and planning was a breeze for us! Until the world kind of went a little crazy and in March 2020 we decided to postpone our wedding. We opted to push it to June 2021 - Chelsea was AMAZING and reached out to all our vendors to communicate with them and rebook. A month after we made the decision to postpone, my father passed away. He had been struggling with Parkinson’s and dementia for some time, and Chelsea understood my concerns with making sure he could be at my wedding and we talked about all the accommodations for the day to ensure things would go smoothly. During planning and after he passed, Chelsea wasn’t only my planner; she was a friend and sometimes even a therapist when I needed a phone call to calm my nerves. A few months later, our catering company closed and we had to start over - once again, Chelsea provided us with several companies she had already reached out to about availability and pricing - all we had to do was show up for tastings and choose. The weekend of our wedding, Chelsea was a literal superhero. After helping us organize a great rehearsal dinner the night before, she was on site the morning of our wedding with her awesome team! Every single person on her team was kind and meticulous as they worked to put together our day. When a guest had an issue, Chelsea was there to help or answer questions. When part of my dress decided to come apart, Chelsea miraculously appeared with a needle and thread and stitched it back up perfectly. Truth be told, I am always the “planner” and take care of everything - it’s difficult for me to let anyone else take the wheel. But Chelsea and her team had me completely at ease and I knew that they were on top of everything. I honestly can’t say enough about how spectacular Pearl Weddings and Events is. If you’re looking for someone that’s professional, organized, caring, genuine, and has a contagious positive energy, the team at Pearl is exactly what you need.

Chelsea and her team are the utmost professionals. We initially thought we could handle the planning for our wedding ourselves, but were soooooo glad we hired Pearl Weddings & Events. There were so many unanticipated details to coordinate. Chelsea and her team took over with grace and represented us exactly the way we would have wanted had we handled things ourselves. The wedding flowed perfectly and we were truly able to be present and enjoy the moment. HIGHLY recommend working with Chelsea!!

Jane Yeager

Chelsea from Pearl Weddings & Events was a complete life saver! She started eight weeks before our wedding and helped us so much by coordinating with vendors, making our timeline, and making sure we had everything booked correctly. We had made some mistakes when planning ourselves that she caught and fixed, which made a huge difference. She is also the nicest person with most calming yet upbeat presence. I wish we had hired her as a full service planner from the start! Our wedding day was an absolute dream thanks to Chelsea.

Chelsea is a superstar, we couldn’t have done it without her! She is always upbeat, engaged, and a pleasure to work with. Chelsea and her team went above and beyond every step of the way. She guided us through the full process of planning our wedding, from initial vision to final execution. Her team is exteemely organized and kept us on top of the timelines and actions we needed to take. She made sure we got great quality for a fair price, and helped us identify ways to keep our budget to a manageable level while producing a beautiful experience. Chelsea helped us design and fully customize our wedding, from color palette to vendor selection, bringing the vision to life. During the event her team managed everything precisely and took care of any little issues that came up without us even knowing about them. We highly recommend Chelsea to our friends and family!

I have had the amazing honor of being a vendor for many of Pearl Weddings events and they are such a pleasure to work with! Chelsea is always thinking about the most special little details that will make your event so unique and meaningful. You can really see the heart and soul that goes into each event with Chelsea and it shows in how beautifully designed and well executed each event and wedding is. She's incredibly professional, kind, and will quickly become your new best friend because she's SO easy to get along with! Hiring Chelsea for your event would be the best wedding move you could make!

We hired Pearl Weddings & Events for month-of planning, and my only regret is that we did not go for the full wedding planning service. We were so impressed with Chelsea during the planning process that we also asked her to help coordinate the rehearsal dinner and welcome party the evening before the wedding. She was effective and supportive in so many ways, but a few areas really stood out: Communicative: Chelsea is responsive, as well as thorough and thoughtful in her responses. She was easy to reach and made herself available to answer my questions – however small. She was also great at managing communications from multiple vendors (and personalities!) throughout the many months of planning. Action-oriented: Chelsea gets things done! This was especially evident in her ability to organize several rental vendors and make sure the right rentals (i.e. chairs, flatware, glassware, etc.) got to the right place, at the right time. Even after the wedding was over, she facilitated the return of a lost case of glassware while we were on our honeymoon. Genuine: Chelsea was incredibly positive and supportive from the moment we met her. She sincerely cares about the people she works with and her kindhearted disposition is exactly what we needed during what was sometimes a stressful process. Overall, Chelsea is incredibly talented and passionate about what she does, and any couple would be lucky to work with her to realize their wedding vision!

Working with Chelsea was hands down the best decision I made for my wedding. She has the best personality and was always so patient and helpful. Three days before my wedding, there was rain in forecast, and Chelsea found the most perfect tent decor, coordinating everything last-minute. She went above and beyond every expectation. I HIGHLY recommend her—she is amazing!!!

Rayleen Tritt

I'm a wedding photographer so I work with a lot of wedding planners. I have yet to meet one as talented, friendly, ambitious and on-point as Chelsea. She was beyond awesome to work with leading up to the wedding and her organization skills are perfection. I'm still in awe of her decor skills as well. The wedding was so beautifully aesthetically gorgeous. She made Kylie and Gary's day perfect and my job incredibly easy with her organization. I cannot wait to work with her again! I encourage any couple wanting a wedding planner to work with Chelsea!

I honestly don’t even know where to begin....I hired Chelsea during the planning of my Outer Banks destination wedding. She came over and we decided I needed someone as my “Day of coordinator” and also someone to help with our wedding website, invitations and some other details. I was trying to plan the wedding, finish my masters degree & we also have a 3 year old. Chelsea came to our house & she witnessed the chaos that is our daily life, but she somehow managed to make me feel at ease. She flew down to our wedding on a Thursday, picked up flowers, wedding cake & our welcome dinner before heading to our home on the 4x4 beach of Corolla. As soon as I saw her face & felt her calming presence I knew everything was completely under control. On the morning of our wedding I was walking into the salon and I see Chelsea. Chelsea had come to the salon with flowers she had picked up because I had mentioned wanting baby’s breath for the flower girls hair. She also asked me if I wanted her to pick up citronella candles for our outside reception. I was completely shocked & taken back by these two things. She went out of her way to stop at the salon & to again reassure me everything was going to be perfect. I can honestly say Chelsea was our best wedding investment we decided to make. I NEVER would have survived the day of the wedding without her. She made sure everything was right and she did it with true sincerity. She is such a beautiful person & any bride would be honored to have her as a wedding planner because I know I was. I will forever be grateful for every little thing Chelsea did to make our dream wedding a reality.

Our wedding was two weeks ago and we are still coming down off the high of such a wonderful weekend. Chelsea was truly a delight to work with and I would recommend her to anyone! My husband and I live in Amsterdam, and planning our wedding from thousands of miles away was a daunting task. Chelsea expertly managed all of the vendors and detail of the day, approaching everything with charm and enthusiasm. While she was awesome the entire time, she really blew us away the days leading up to the wedding. She took care of EVERYTHING, got her hands dirty and ran around (literally) in order to make our dreams come true. It wouldn't have been the same event without her - we are forever grateful!!

Kristin Young

At our initial meeting, it only took about ten minutes for us to decide that Chelsea was the perfect partner for us to help plan our wedding day. This realization was reinforced during every step of the process. From the beginning, she focused on learning about us and what we wanted for our wedding day, and she reinforced our dreams in every conversation and every idea that she brought to the table. We really appreciated her ability to kindly but firmly guide us in the right direction through the choices we had to make along the way, from vendors to how we were using our space to recommendations and implementation of our design elements. She was so supportive and a great listener to everyone who helped pull wedding together (even our 10 year old niece!) Thanks so much for being on our team, Chelsea. We’ll never forget everything you did to make our wedding the happiest day of our lives.

Book Chelsea as your wedding planner, you will not be sorry. She's a true partner with your best interest at heart and you can't go wrong with Chelsea in your corner. What impressed us most about Chelsea when we hired her was her calm demeanor, her deep knowledge and experience, and most importantly, that she really listened to what we were looking for, asked probing questions, and passionately worked with us to make our dream a reality. She gave us amazing vendor recommendations and helped us design the perfect day that embraced us to every last detail. For added context, we locked in our fall wedding date in early 2020 (right before things jumped up a notch in craziness), and secured Chelsea in the early summer (<5 months out!). Planning a wedding during a pandemic was very hectic, but Chelsea was with us through every change in state health guidelines, all of the creative brainstorming sessions, and every Hail Mary pivot (we're talking "last minute Silent Disco to beat noise ordinances" level Hail Mary's) and we were able to keep our original date and have an amazing wedding largely because of Chelsea's direction, guidance and support. If you're thinking of hiring a wedding planner, we highly encourage you to take a call with her and within the first five minutes of your call you'll see for yourself what we're talking about.

Where do I start? Chelsea is an incredible human and a phenomenal wedding planner. Every detail, every request, every email, executed on with perfection and with extremely good vibes throughout the year-long process. Chelsea planned our wedding at Hasbrouck House upstate - we wanted a garden party wedding and an entire weekend full of festivities (Friday pig roast, outdoor movie, bonfire, taco truck, brunch) and we got everything we wanted and more! All we ever had to do was tell Chelsea what we wanted or show her a photo of our vision and it was done. And she did all of this while staying in budget. Her knowledge, resources, responsiveness and just overall demeanor made our year of planning seamless and fun! And on the day of the wedding, everything was perfect. Everything was on time, everyone was taken care of, my dress (which was wrinkly and silk) was magically un-wrinkled by this woman! It was the most magical weekend of our lives. No matter what wedding you want or what budget you have, this woman will do it for you. Chelsea is the BEST decision we made (after deciding to get married).

Chelsea is absolutely incredible. Everyone told us don’t stress about the little things, your wedding day won’t go as exactly as you planned, etc. but literally everything went perfectly, just as we had planned (with Chelsea’s help), and was even exactly on time! It was all thanks to Chelsea and her work with our vendors. We are endlessly grateful for her and everything she did to go above and beyond so that we could have the absolute perfect wedding day (and even perfect rehearsal). She spent the time to catch up on all of our ideas, details, and everything that mattered to us. She does all of the big things, but she also pays attention to every single tiny detail. Her design visions and ideas are absolutely gorgeous and she even brought her own candles to add a few more touches in our venue. We will never know the full extent of everything that she did for us because she truly just takes care of it for you. We cannot say enough good things about her and Pearl Weddings.

We hired Pearl Weddings and Events to help us plan a last minute backyard micro-wedding after canceling our original wedding due to Covid. Of all the decisions we have had to make- this was by far the BEST one. Chelsea and her team executed our vision better than we could have ever even imagined. Chelsea and her team are more than event planners. They are emotional support (our dog ran away the morning of my wedding and the whole team was in the streets searching for her. Chelsea hugged me while I cried. Don’t worry, she’s home safe!). They anticipated every need before we could even ask. I could go on forever with praise. I simply cannot recommend them enough!

Karisa Hamdi

Chelsea and the Pearl Wedding team were BEYOND AMAZING!!! I seriously could not have gotten through the day without them. From our first phone call Chelsea was extremely helpful, kind, funny, and really made me feel at ease. I was getting stressed about the wedding with COVID and struggling to really see how everything was going to come together, so Chelsea made sure that my vision came to life and helped keep me calm leading up to the day. On our wedding day we had unseasonably cold weather and rain, which was obviously not an ideal situation, but Chelsea quickly changed plans and ensured that the day was perfect (she even took off her sweater and gave it to me to make sure I was warm during our photos)! I seriously could not have done this without her and her team and I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend working with Chelsea and the rest of the Pearl Wedding team.

As an event florist, I have worked with many event planners/coordinators. Chelsea has, hands-down, been the most wonderful to collaborate with. She is easy to work with and appears guided by her clients needs & wishes with each decision. She is positive and upbeat, and a challenge will not throw her. I recommend Pearl Weddings & Events highly! - Melissa Hessney Masters (Tanglebloom Floral Design, Vermont)

Choosing vendor partners for a couple's wedding day is INCREDIBLY important. I have had the pleasure of working with Chelsea Suddes from Pearl Weddings & Events at a recent wedding. Chelsea and her team partner with professionals to bring a couple's day to life. When she is brought on the planning team, she sits down with the couple for their first consultation that lasts 2 hours (at least) to discuss; their wedding vision, expectations, wants, needs, budget, design and what is important to them and their wedding day. While having these discussions, she learns a lot about the couple’s personality as well. From there, she comes up with a carefully curated list of professionals that will fit the couple’s desires. The couple chooses the vendor they feel most connected with and we discuss this in another meeting prior to her reaching out for vendors availability. She stays very involved in the entire process to help her keep a good understanding of the couple’s needs and the vendors needs throughout the process. (i.e. if the DJ needs an extra chair, I will make sure the DJ has that chair on the day of their wedding. Or if the florist gets a phone call for a special request to auction off all the centerpieces, she makes sure the MC and DJ knows to do that!). She works to be the glue for the team and to make sure each vendor partner has everything they need to give their top performance because at the end of the day, we are all working for the same end goal - A HAPPY COUPLE! :) HIGHLY Recommended!

Five stars is really not enough for such a patient, dedicated, professional team. As our wedding planning weathered the changing winds of covid restrictions (including a total change of venue two months prior to the event), Chelsea and Pearl Weddings was there to do all the heavy lifting. For us, working with Pearl was the best decision we made after deciding to get hitched in the first place. Six stars.

Trevor Reynolds

Chelsea and her team were amazing! From the moment we met, we knew she was the one. A joy to work with, great communication and coordination. I was hesitant to get a wedding planner, but after working with Chelsea I tell people you NEED to have one and Chelsea is the one you need.

Becca Bliss Nelson

It's been a blessing to work with Chelsea! Her work is so creative and lovely, and she really puts her all into every event. It's so clear how deeply she cares for her couples, and how much effort is spent to make sure every detail is perfect.

Absolutely beautiful person, great at what she does. Highly recommend
