A venue event coordinator and a wedding planner is two very different things.

Often the venues event coordinator handles all kind of different events and clients - where your wedding planner only have one focus - and that is YOU!

Testimonials

“Branch Events - where do I even begin?? I was on the hunt for a planner to help make my wedding vision come to life! Photographer, venue, & photo booth was booked, yet I still needed the most important: flowers and decorations. Between my full time career, school, & life: I knew I wasn't going to make it happen and I began to feel overwhelmed. I searched on Instagram for the perfect planner - wasn't looking for followers or popularity, was just looking at the quality of the work and details. I came across The Branch Events & immediately reached out. The professionalism from the very beginning caught my attention and the information requested was sent to me within a week. I knew I had to keep them around and have them help me. We set up to meet, spoke about my ideas, thoughts - and started putting everything to life! Fast forward to the big day, they were biggest help I could've ever imagined. They brought food for us at the hotel where we were prepping, provided us with all the information needed to make sure things moved accordingly, & made sure I was stress free from beginning to end! The service was out of this world, the decorations were to die for, & my vision came to life! I cannot express my gratitude for them enough - I am forever thankful for coming across their page and working with them. Hopefully we can work together in the near future!! 5 stars for yelp, infinite stars in my heart.”

“Absolutely amazing!!

I worked with Carmen for my baby shower and she went above and beyond!! She took my vision and made it a reality. Everything came out sooooo beautiful. She surprised me with some little extra details which made it even that much more special. She's supper accommodating, attentive and works with your budget and extremely fairly priced. I loved working with her. Made my life so much easier during such a busy time. I can't wait to work with her again for my next event. I highly recommend Branch Events for your occasion.”

“Working with The Branch Events was the best decision we made throughout the baby shower planning process! They possess great skill and professionalism, and her organization skills and calming presence were very much appreciated to keep our anxieties at bay. Carmen was invaluable on the baby shower day as well, she worked with all of the vendors, the set up was gorgeous, and she ensured everyone was having fun, eating and enjoying the day to the fullest. She has a gift for having her presence known and felt on the day of the baby shower (things running smoothly, venue looking perfect, etc.) without being intrusive. I really appreciated her help and guidance more than she will know. It was great working with The Branch Events!!”

- Eileen T.

“I've worked with The Branch in multiple events not only my own but with other family members and we all love them! They are extremely helpful and great listeners they take your ideas to the next level while staying within budget. With party's there's so many details that you don't think of but they got you. Honestly for all of my own events that I’ve used them for I literally gave them my ideas and budget and just let them work their magic. I've never been disappointed! It's the best thing on earth to know for once in my life I will be on time (lol) since I only have to get myself ready not the party. I’m engaged now and more then excited to work with them soon for my wedding!”

- Jesubel G.

“Carmen was wonderful from start to finish. Very professional and listened to all my ideas (and many I kept adding) she made my baby shower worry free, all I had to do was show up and enjoy it! Also she was able to find me a nut-free baker due to my nut allergies which was a huge plus! I had so many compliments on how simple and beautiful the decor was! I def would use the Branch Events for another occasion. Thank you for such a beautiful and memorable Baby shower!”
