    My wedding was this past weekend and I was fortunate to have Jenn and Vivian by my side. I am deeply indebted to these two people for how well they managed all of the issues that came up. Vivian arrived at my salon and guided me throughout every portion of my morning, all while Jenn was handling the setup at the venue. They kept communicating ensuring our vision was carried out. Several things came up with my decorator and DJ, but they made me feel calm while they handled the situation. Vivian and Jenn were a Godsend, and I will forever speak praises for all they did for us. I HIGHLY recommend working with the team at Sovereign Bee, they will work to make your day beautiful.

    Belinda and her team were an absolute dream to work with! Her expertise, attention to detail, ability to anticipate needs I didn't even know I had and the amazing, supportive energy throughout the day gave my husband and I the ability to enjoy the entire experience. We literally never worried about a single thing. Belinda advocated for us, made our families love her and went above and beyond to not only execute, but elevate all of our plans. She even captured a ton of behind the scenes content that we're so grateful to be able to look back on! The day just couldn't have happened without her and hiring Sovereign Bee was the best decision we made.

  • Belinda is phenomenal!

    We cannot recommend Sovereign Bee enough! Belinda did a remarkable job for my son's wedding at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden! We had just over 6 months to plan the whole thing, during which time the bride and groom along with my family were all going to be out of the country for a month. Planning this wedding was my responsibility as the MOG and I really knew nothing about the wedding process. When we interviewed Belinda, we told her we needed help finding quality vendors (we only had a venue - nothing else) and her assistance managing the process. Belinda suggested outstanding choices of vendors, any of which would have been perfect. We chose the ones that worked best with the bride and groom with her on-point advice. She was able to help me as I managed invitations, contracts, seating etc. and was always able to give me excellent guidance and reassurance. As the date neared, Belinda created a detailed timeline to the minute for the entire event, starting with the rehearsal and dinner the night before (she also helped me find a caterer for that). On the day of, she was there and had a full court press of team members starting with two during the bridal party prep at 630 a.m. and growing to 4 as we moved to the venue for the ceremony and celebration. She and her team were visible and available the entire event until we got ready to leave. She had told us don't stress about anything that day as she would handle any problems, keep things moving along and make sure we all had a fabulous celebration. She kept that promise!! I highly recommend her without any reservation!

    I work in corporate America and have worked with many many event planners. I have been to a few events that Belinda planned and it was a complete no brainer when it was time for my daughter to get married. My daughter got married out of state and I wasn't sure if that would have an impact. The answer is, it did not change a thing when it came to the results. Belinda leaves no stone unturned, she thinks of things before they even happen, she plays out every possible scenario, and just when you think "OMG something crazy has happened, what are we gonna do now," Belinda can work through it with minimal to no disruption. She is focused, never loses sight of the goal, and knows how to work with ALL kinds of personalities. So many unexpected things that were completely out of our control, came up at my daughter's wedding. It was just when things started to open up after COVID and venues weren't in full swing. She handled all of it so well that guests didn't even notice a thing. She leaves me in awe, I just don't know how she does it. All I can say is, YOU WANT HER AT YOUR EVENT !
