Magdalena Events and Design - Craryville, New York

Magdalena and Arielle were the most phenomenal duo to plan our wedding! We did not live in the area, and they helped us find the most perfect vendors for every aspect of the event. Magdalena was always ten steps ahead of us and kept every vendor and stakeholder on track. Both Magdalena and Arielle went above and beyond every step of the way, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. It is remarkable that Magdalena is so on top of everything, while also being incredible creative—a true talent and made for this job! Absolutely hire Magdalena Events for your event—there’s no one better in the business.

Magdelena, Arielle, and her entire team were an absolute dream! They planned and executed our 3-day wedding from beginning to end - everything went off without a single hitch and we couldn't have been happier! They took our stresses away and really set the mood with a calm and collected vibe. Everything was so organized, responsive to our needs, and they carried out every detail to perfection. Could not recommend them more!

We just had a completely perfect wedding and we absolutely have Magdalena and Arielle to thank. They made us feel totally secure the whole way through planning, reacted to all the last minute dilemmas without stress or issue, and the whole weekend you could tell they had everything running like clockwork. Would highly recommend in a heartbeat!

I connected with Magdalena after coming across our dream caterers. We were in the process of re-planning our wedding due to COVID and were on a very tight timeline- 2-3 months! To say that Magdalena and Arielle helped us pull off our dream wedding is an understatement. They quickly became our rocks. Magdalena's calm, professional, friendly, and caring demeanor became one of the highlights of our planning process and our wedding day. She took what I thought was my nebulous vision of an elegant yet rustic affair and made it come to life in a way I could have never imagined. I had full trust in her and her creative process and I am so happy I did.

To this day, my new wife still talks about our "super hero" Magda and how we will absolutely be using her the next time we plan an event of any kind. If you are lucky enough to have the chance to hire Magdalena, you will not regret choosing her for a second.

Magdalena and her team are the people to turn to if you are planning a wedding. She is creative and fun but also detail oriented and incredibly organized. Her warm and confident personality is incredibly calming and supportive. Beyond sharing her expertise and wisdom during the planning process, I cannot say enough good things about having her there on your actual wedding day/weekend. She will listen to you and be your advocate and give you the quiet confidence to make decisions and enjoy your day. I can't thank her enough for making our wedding weekend such a success!

Magdalena was recommended to us by our amazing venue. Her and her team were exactly what we needed regarding making wedding planning feel manageable. She listened to all ideas and visions we had and went above and beyond bringing every one of them to life. We trusted her and her design choices fully when making decisions. Her expertise on the industry and close relationships with our vendors helped create the most epic wedding ever!

5 stars isn't enough for Magdalena and her team. When I was looking for a wedding planner, my top two criteria were (1) someone with creative, design-focused ideas, and (2) someone who is organized but with a relaxed, easy-going attitude. I only interviewed one wedding planner, because after meeting with Magdalena, I knew she was the one!! You can glean from her website and instagram that her design aesthetic and weddings are BEAUTIFUL, but I also want people to know that she is exceptionally kind and an absolute pleasure to work with. She is incredibly focused, organized, and detail-oriented as a planner must be, but she balances it out with a genuine sweetness and friendliness -- an uncommon combination in the industry! Because of her, our wedding went off without a hitch. Friends warned me that "at least one thing will go wrong," but literally nothing went wrong at our wedding, thanks to Magdalena and her team. She recommended some fabulous vendors that we used, but we had a couple vendors that we brought in ourselves, and all of them commented to me how wonderful Magdalena was to work with. Not to mention, Magdalena pulled all off all our planning during the year of the pandemic!! If you are planning an event in the Berkshires/Hudson Valley (or anywhere, really!), you can't go wrong with Magdalena!!

Magdalena actually planned two weddings for us: our original June 2020 celebration with 130 guests and, ultimately, our intimate COVID wedding on the same date at a new venue with 99% of guests on Zoom. In a nutshell, Magdalena made our Plan B feel like the wedding of our dreams. She connected us at the outset with a fabulous team of vendors who, like her, were amazing, flexible and supportive as partners through it all, plus a joy to work with. We can't recommend Magda highly enough, especially if you're looking for someone with experience thoughtfully planning socially distant weddings and/or weddings with a Zoom component.
