STOP SEARCHING—YOU NEED EVENTS WITH SELINA! THE BEST DECISION WE MADE!
I cannot emphasize this enough: if you are planning a wedding, you NEED a wedding planner. And not just any planner—you need Events with Selina. They are, without a doubt, the gold standard of wedding planning, and our day would not have been the same without them.
Because of Selina and her phenomenal team, our wedding was perfect in every single way. There is not a single thing I would change. They didn’t just execute a flawless day—they made sure that we, our families, and our guests got to experience every single moment without an ounce of stress. We got to be fully present, soaking in the love, joy, and celebration, while they took care of everything behind the scenes.
From the very start, Selina and her team went above and beyond to make the planning process seamless, enjoyable, and stress-free. They weren’t just there to organize logistics—they became our trusted advisors, problem-solvers, and even negotiators.
They helped us secure the best vendors—recommending only those they knew would deliver excellence.
They negotiated pricing, saving us more money than we ever could have on our own.
They answered every single question, no matter how big or small—even the ones that popped into our heads in the middle of the night (like “How much do we tip the photographer?” or “How far in advance should we book hair and makeup?”).
They handled every detail with such care, precision, and passion—as if they were planning their own wedding.
On the big day, we didn’t have to think about a single thing. Not one. Every little detail ran so smoothly that we could truly live in the moment. Our families and guests kept saying how stress-free and seamless everything felt. We got to just be present, soaking in the joy, because we knew Selina’s team had everything under control.
And the cherry on top? So many of our guests told us it was the best wedding they had ever been to!
I didn’t plan this wedding—Events with Selina did. And they deserve every ounce of credit for making our dream wedding a reality. If you’re wondering whether you need a wedding planner, let me make it easy for you:
YES, you need one.
YES, it should be Events with Selina.
YES, it will be the best decision you make.
Thank you, Selina & team, for giving us the greatest gift—the ability to fully enjoy our wedding, stress-free, knowing everything was taken care of. We are forever grateful!

After deciding I needed help with day of planning for my wedding, EWS was the only team I met with. I was so appreciative of all the ideas and help provided so my groom and I could relax on the night of our wedding.
There wasn't a detail that was missed and everything we had hoped would be taken care of, was. I knew I was in really good hands and it's because of those hands we were able to actually be present and attend our own wedding. Thank you EWS team for all your help and support with our wedding!!

Selina and her crew is absolutely amazing. I found her 2 months before my wedding and she surpassed my expectations. I highly recommend EWS to any bride that is struggling, or anyone like me who has all of their vendors booked and needed help with last minute things. Selina was always available for questions, concerns and always offering her advice to make the wedding day go smoothly. She is such a kind soul but always stern enough to make sure your needs are met. My wedding was absolutely beautiful and if things went wrong I didn’t know about it. Thank you Selina and EWS for everything you done for us. Xoxo Mr & Mrs Brown!!!

If you would like your special day to be super stressful and unorganized, then DO NOT hire Selina and her team because that is the opposite of what you will get with these fabulous fabulous people.
Weddings can be so stressful and overwhelming, especially when you have to hire and rehire a photographer 2 weeks before the big day!!
Because of the Events with Selina team, my husband and I never had to worry or stress too much about anything, because we had them.
Selina will make sure you aren't doing more than you should be doing.
Her main priority is YOU. I know she had other couples she was working with, but you'd never know it.
we felt so special and so seen, that every time I think about her role in our special day, I get teary eyed.
We were told before we hired her and her team that wedding coordinators are well worth the money in general. We'll let me tell you that in hindsight, we would have paid triple for Events with Selina. We had multiple oversights on our end for decor and set up, and they took what would have been an absolute meltdown to the absolute perfect set up. Worked their little tail ends off!!!!
Selina, and team, we cannot thank you enough for everything you did. I don't think we will EVER stop recommending Events with Selina.
All ofour love and then some,
The Laurer's

Events with Selina was amazing and I would recommend Selina to anyone looking for a wedding planner or day of coordinator. My wedding day ran perfectly on time, even a little ahead of schedule and it was largely because of her expertise and organization. Selina is super helpful and kind, and knows how to control a large crowd. When it came to decor and day of coordination she thought of everything I forgot or would never think of. She was consistently checking in with me and my husband to see if we needed anything and never let us go without a fresh drink in our hands the entire night. She also checked in with our other vendors frequently. Hiring her and her team was absolutely worth the money!

We had the pleasure of Selina being our day of coordinator for our wedding this past June. My wife and I collectively enjoyed her role and gladly appreciated everything she did for us. She handled the rehearsal very well and was a massive help day of when things went wrong. She was always on the scene with a calm and determined attitude to help the situation. She helped make our day better and super special with all she was able to help with like going out of her way to get us the right cake we wanted. I highly recommend her for any event, she is organized and always on top of things. Thank you Events with Selina!!

Selena was very determined to make sure your wedding day is a huge success . Her attention to detail was unmatched she did a lovely portfolio on her own and sent them the very next day after the wedding which was a surprise to us all . We loved that feature! The only things we would have changed were on the rehearsal maybe talking with the minister first before practicing with everyone there the instructions came across a little to harsh on what she was trying to do to make it flow and work out correctly. Very good hearted person means well .

Thanks to Selina we were able to fully enjoy our wedding day celebrating with our friends and family and not sweating the small stuff.
From helping us craft a timeline to dealing with vendors and touching up decor, Selina was there to help us in any way that she could. She is incredibly detail-oriented, attentive, and is always providing creative ideas to make your day truly magical.
We 100% recommend her for any of your event needs!

We can honestly say, booking Selina and her team to be a part of our day was the best decision we ever made when planning our wedding. From the very beginning, Selina’s primary goal was to take things off of our plate to allow us to get excited and feel at ease. We had a tight turnaround to begin with - We reached out to her out-of-state with only two months to go till our big day and the first thing she said was you can let the stress go and just relax and enjoy, we got this! Selina operates Events with Selina (EWS) alongside her lifetime best friend which gives her business such a special and genuine touch. EWS has a number of customizable options to best fit your needs. After one consultation, we were able to finalize what support we needed. We rented all of our decor from her, she had so many options that were super reasonably priced and cute (I’m a bit of a maximalist so this was huge for me!). Selina 100% followed our lead design-wise - I truly felt like she saw our vision and dialed into it. I also appreciated that she even brought some ideas for our consideration - She has such a great eye! Selina and her team looked out for us every step of the way, always coming to our meetings with questions to make sure our vision was being realized exactly as we had dreamed. If we noticed we had a gap, Selina was quick to take on the legwork and offer options to resolve. I truly felt that she was excited with us - I will never forget the first time we got to meet in person, she excitedly proclaimed “We’re getting married!!!!!!” and it just absolutely brightened our day and set the tone! Her creative eye and wonderful energy was a joy to have around during our event set up. During the set-up, there were a few points where we had to pivot and Selina took that on behind the scenes, getting us extra signage, baskets, etc. She handled all the last minute items so that we could enjoy our rehearsal dinner care-free. As important and instrumental that all of the pre-wedding support was, having Selina and the EWS team on our wedding day was invaluable. They started the day off with each of us, bringing us breakfast and checking in. Our day had forecasted rain so she implemented our “rain-day plan” (not our plan-b as she clarified) the morning of our wedding - we didn’t even have to think about it, it was done and done beautifully! As the bride, the EWS team was like a built-in girl squad: they never left my side and made sure that our drinks were always full, that we ate (Thank you!!), gently ensured we kept on our schedule, and even were ready to get me in my flats when the heels ran their course lol. At the end of the night, as part of our package, EWS fully broke down at the venue which was a huge weight lifted that we didn’t have to worry about. They safely packaged the few decorations we provided, including bubble wrapping my parents' glass-blown wedding favors that we displayed at the reception, and they packed them into our designated car. After the wedding, Selina took the time to circle back, check in, and send over a few detailed shots of our reception decor - something that I was so far too busy to remember to do! I will never forget the love that Selina brought to our day. She always put us first, led with excitement, and brought her make-it-happen energy to every step of the process. We are forever grateful for Selina and the EWS team and would highly recommend their expertise to anyone preparing for their big day. THANK YOU IMMENSELY Selina and the crew from the bottom of our hearts.
