"We truly don’t have enough words to express how grateful we are for Julia. From start to finish, she exceeded every single expectation we had—and then went even further. Planning a gay wedding can come with its own set of nerves, but with Julia by our side, we felt nothing but supported, celebrated, and completely understood. Julia brought our vision to life with such creativity, care, and professionalism. Every detail was executed flawlessly—from the venue setup and timeline management to the décor, vibe, and even the tiniest personal touches we didn’t even know we needed. She didn’t just plan a wedding; she created an experience that was deeply meaningful and unforgettable for us and our guests. What truly sets Julia apart is her heart. She made us feel safe, respected, and truly seen throughout the entire process. She honored our love story and made sure our wedding reflected us in every way possible. Our guests are still talking about how beautiful, joyful, and seamless the entire day was—and that is 100% because of her. If you’re looking for a wedding planner who is not only wildly talented and organized but also inclusive, affirming, and genuinely passionate about what she does—Julia is your person. Thank you, Julia, for making our day absolutely magical. With so much love and gratitude, The violantes" — Juan B.

“we were blessed to have the most amazing wedding planner during our planning process. If I didn’t have Julia, I would have been totally lost in the whole planning process. I would literally message her a few times a week with ideas and thoughts and she was always there to answer. She is truly heaven sent and I am so thankful to still have a connection with her. Julia made sure we had everything we (I) wanted for our dream wedding. She was never pushy and was always honest with everything which we really appreciated. I look forward to her help us plan another occasion in the future” — Samantha D.

"Julia is by far the best party planner. She has planned my bridal shower, baby showers, kids birthdays and whenever I have a small gathering she offers advice on what I should buy, how to decorate etc. She is so great at coming up with unique and creative designs and ideas to make your party stand out from the norm. Her Rolodex of vendors is impressive. She knows everyone and can make anything happen for your party. She stays up to date on latest trends and is a trendsetter herself. If you are looking for meticulous attention to detail and for your event to stand out among the crowd, she is the perfect choice." — Christina V.

"I highly recommend working with Julia! She is extremely knowledgeable about event planning and points you in the direction of trustworthy and experienced vendors. She always keeps me on track for what to plan next for our wedding, I’d be lost without her! Julia has great ideas for unique additions to events and great advice for things you may be forgetting about. I’ve also had the privilege to attend some of the events she has thrown and she truly knows how to transform a space." — Danielle C.

"Working with Julia was such a pleasant experience. We connected instantly and planning my bridal shower was effortless. I was impressed with the her thoroughness, creativity, and professionalism. Not to mention, the day of the event she was extremely hands on and made sure everything came to life just as imagined.

"When our daughter gave us only a couple of months notice that she wanted a sweet 16 party, we were lucky enough to get a date at the Inn at New Hyde Park. Thankfully, because we weren't sure how we would put it all together in such little time, they put us in touch with the absolute best, Julia. Very quickly, Julia became a friend and then like family. This woman is a life saver that literally created the best party our daughter could ask for. She listened, which is so incredibly important. She didn't try and push us in any direction, she didn't insist on her ideas, she asked my daughter what she wanted and Julia created it. Not only did she do this quickly but, she did it incredibly and at an amazing price that didn't make me have to sell my kidney's. Her thoughtfulness, her vision and most of all, her true friendship made this party feel like we had it planned for years and it was utterly beautiful! There isn't a thing we wish we had done better because there is no way it could have been better. If anyone wants and needs a stress free party, then please, please call Julia. I promise you won't be sorry. Without a doubt, the next party we have, Julia will be the one to do it and likely a guest as well. Thank you so much Julia, you are amazing!" —J. Sciarrillo
