Best Wedding Planners in the U.S., Canada, and Overseas
Even the best wedding planners have had a challenging past couple of years as COVID-19 has affected the entire industry. First, there were no weddings, then they were rescheduled, downsized, and “micro-fied.” Now, after almost two years of being in limbo, we’re in the beginning stages of what’s being proclaimed a wedding boom—when nuptials on a Thursday night are the norm and anything goes with regards to the size and spirit of the celebration. Some are taking the “go big or go home” approach because they’ve had to wait so long and are ready to let loose, while others are maintaining a less is more vibe and keeping their event intimate. Either way, the need to find the best wedding planners who can execute the many levels of logistics required of hosting a party during an ongoing global pandemic has never been more profound. Finding someone you gel well with is also imperative. To make the search easier, we’ve compiled a comprehensive list of our favorites across the world—we hope it’s helpful as you try to find the one.
JZ Events: Based in New York City
Jennifer Zabinski of JZ Events was the mastermind behind Serena Williams and Alexis Ohanian’s fairy-tale inspired wedding in New Orleans, an evening that was executed flawlessly—we know because we were there! From the surprise video created by Alexis for Serena that ran at the beginning of the ceremony to the actual carousel that appeared for guests like Beyoncé to dance on at the after-party, Zabinski’s efforts were unparalleled, and she did it all in that calm, cool, and collected way that makes her one of the best at what she does.
