Natalie and her team at Whim Events, blew away everyone’s expectations for a wedding! Their professionalism, attention to detail, flowers, their warmth and kindness were off the charts! The wedding was classic and elegant, each room gave a different and gorgeous setting. I heard guests saying the wedding was an 11 out of ten and the most beautiful wedding they had ever been to! This will be an event that will not be forgotten!!!

Whim planned our wedding and it could not have been more perfect. From start to finish, Natalie & Moira and their team were thoughtful, kind, knowledgeable and so talented at what they do. They made our wedding fun and beautiful and they got us and our style from the start. We are so grateful. If you are considering an event planning team, these folks are the best.

Whim is absolutely incredible, and was instrumental in pulling off a deeply beautiful, joyful, and easy wedding day for us. We decided to start working with Whim in September 2021, with hopes of getting married in Fall 2022. We quickly learned just how much of a crunch there was on venues and vendors— but that’s where Natalie’s tremendous connections through the industry came in. She quickly moved on a number of venues and vendors, sketching out different plans for us, but it was because of her fantastic working relationship with the events team at our dream venue (The Mount) that we ultimately scooped up a slot there when they had a cancellation.

Natalie’s professionalism, know how, and smarts were so important all through the process—by and large we almost always went with her vendor recommendations, though she was great about presenting us with and pricing out a range of options. Down to a one, each vendor she recommended blew it out of the water: photography, makeup, band, etc. In addition to their incredible services day of, each vendor was absolutely wonderful to work with, just lovely and good natured, people that genuinely added to the day.

And Natalie herself is that way, too: we knew we liked her from the first day we met her on a Zoom, but came to realize over the course of a year of working together both just how fun and how much of a force of nature she really was. (I’m going to miss talking to her routinely!) My mother and I were the most involved in planning the wedding and we both are, shall I say, not weak personalities— but Natalie was fantastic with working with both of us, and made the whole process if not stress free (how could planning a wedding be stress free?), as stress-light as possible, and also highly efficient and enjoyable.

And the entire team was fantastic, too. Moira is truly a genius with florals— I had so many guests comment on how stunning they were— but the entire design of the wedding was truly breathtaking, and really felt true to us. Moira and Natalie were really responsive in talking with us and figuring out what we wanted.

We felt how lucky we were to work with Whim the entire way through the process, but maybe nowhere as much as day of, when the whole team sprang into action. Everything felt beautifully thought through, wonderfully controlled, and in symphony: it made it so that I could focus on being with my friends, family, and (now) husband on the day, and made all the difference.

They’re an incredible team of people and professionals. I feel lucky that they were the ones planning our wedding, and we’d work with them again in a heartbeat and recommend them without any hesitation.

My husband and I first started working with Whim in the fall of 2019 after we had chosen a venue and decided that we needed a planner. From day one, we knew we had made the right choice. Our first time meeting the team in person was at a walk through at our venue, and they knew all of the right questions to ask.

From day one, we felt as though they all really understood what our vision was and felt super confident and comfortable with the way that things would be executed.

When COVID came along (yay!) we were cautiously optimistic that our wedding (originally scheduled for 12/5/2020) would be good to go, as were Natalie and her team. We sent our save the dates in mid May, and shortly thereafter decided to postpone until 12/4/2021. I honestly don't know how my husband and I would have been able manage or navigate the number of phone calls that had to be made, and the number of contracts that had to be migrated to the new date which was over a year out.

Things stayed quiet for a bit because of the huge gap in time before our event,  but our almost monthly calls before planning went into full gear were always something that we looked forward to.

The level of attentiveness to us as a couple and attention to every little detail is unmatched. Our wedding had a lot of moving parts, and the team at Whim pulled it off in a seemingly effortless manner. Our vision of our wedding day was met beyond our expectations, and we were made to feel like they enjoyed everything as much as we did.

The vendors the team at Whim recommends and works with are the absolute top tier in every facet; from hair/makeup, cake, rentals, lighting etc. There was never a doubt in my mind that the quality of everything would be exquisite. The day-of bridal assistant was an amazing addition and I'm so grateful for that added detail.

Natalie is a sweetheart and super enthusiastic. You can tell that she loves what she does and is invested in every couple that she works with. Moira is a supremely talented florist and puts love into every single selection she makes and every arrangement presented. Giovanna's attention to detail and eye for design is finely tuned and unmatched.

I could go on for days, there aren't enough words to adequately express how over the moon we are with our experience with the team at Whim over the last 2 years or so. Thank you so so much for creating a magical day for Alex and I. Anyone who chooses you ladies to be a part of their day can consider themselves lucky.

My daughter, the bride, is a surgeon with a crazy busy schedule, so I had the great fortune of working very closely  with Natalie and her extraordinary team at Whim Events.  We hold the unique distinction of being their longest running clients as we started planning over a year before COVID and then pushed the date back three times...so we got to know each other very well! In fact now that it is over, we are all missing the "whimen" and continue to have check ins just to say hello because we formed such a strong friendship and relationship! We definitely could not have navigated these uncertain times without Natalie's expertise, patience, attention to detail and sense of humor. Although we appreciated all the work that went into rebooking the event 3 times, what we reflect on with the most joy is the wedding weekend that they created with us. My daughter and her groom, and all of our friends and family, loved every single aspect of every single event! We heard over and over that it was the best wedding weekend they had ever been to because it felt so personal, warm and reflected the mutual love and respect our families have for each other! Starting with the Welcome Party, Natalie came up with special music and lush jewel toned linens and florals that set the warm welcoming vibe we wanted to kick things off. On the wedding day, her Brideside colleague, was organized, calm and so easy to be with even though we had just met her for the first time that morning. And the wedding ceremony and reception were ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS, MAGICAL, LOVING, we literally loved every single detail!  Natalie and her team  incorporated all the personal touches that my daughter had hoped for with a creative, yet elegant and classic flair. The choices for the florals, the linens, the chairs, the chuppah, the lighting all came together to create the most spectacular timeless atmosphere. It felt like we had all snuck into a "secret garden at midnight" with sparkling lights, glowing candles, incredible white and gray roses and lush overhead canopies with greenery that made it feel cozy and so special to be part of the bride and groom's wedding celebration. We did not want the magic of the evening to end. And the band....they were the BEST. Everyone danced non stop for the entire night so thank goodness Natalie had us order "flats" for the women to change into on the dance floor! The brunch on Sunday was the final hurrah and everyone lingered over egg sandwiches until the last moment.  Every vendor was incredible. The hair and make up teams made us all feel so glamorous and beautiful. The videographers and photographers captured it all with perfection and we will cherish the memories they recorded over and watch them over and over in the years ahead. We loved working with Natalie and her team  and words can not express how highly we recommend them.  We will definitely work with them again when daughter number 2 gets engaged!

I had the absolute best time working with Whim to plan my Berkshires wedding. Natalie and her whole team are absolutely amazing. Extremely professional, but also so kind and fun to work with. I can't imagine having a wedding without them!

My husband and I came to the table with very few ideas about what we wanted our wedding to look like other than it should feel very "us" and we wanted to make sure we really focused on the guest experience. Over the course of our planning process, Natalie and her team did an amazing job of asking the right questions to learn about who we were and create the wedding of our dreams.

Whim is on top of everything. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, I knew they would have everything under control and they did! Our guests have been all been talking about how amazing the flow of the event was, how beautiful the florals were (thanks Moira and crew!!!), and how cozy and elegant the tent was. The morning of the wedding was so relaxing and I was able to really focus on the day and enjoying every moment.

Whim also knows the best vendors--amazing, kind people who are a total dream to work with and they do an amazing job of giving different budget ranges and prices for each vendor band, photographer, catering, etc. etc..

Working with Whim was a no brainer, and my husband and family have been joking about having a 5 year anniversary party so we can work with the Whim-en again! Really, I can't say enough positive things about this team!

I have stressed to many of my friends that one of the most important wedding decisions you make is choosing the wedding planner. I cannot recommend Whim Events and the team of Natalie, Giovanna and Moira enough!!! I would give them 10 stars!! They helped us plan a large wedding for my daughter over the course of two years- including a Covid postponement. When we realized that we needed to postpone the wedding, Natalie took care of every singe detail of the rescheduling which  was a life saver during such a stressful time. The whole team worked closely with my daughter to bring her dream wedding to life. I personally am not a party planning type and they allowed me to literally show up and have the best time of my life without worrying about a single detail. While I thought I would enjoy our wedding, it exceeded my expectations by a mile. They created a beautiful atmosphere where every little detail was thought out. On the day of there was a detailed time line so everyone knew where to be and if I had a question there was always someone right there to answer it. When unexpected rain showers appeared right before our outdoor ceremony, Natalie handled everything and kept everyone calm and relaxed. I have had many friends who have recently held weddings for their children and none of them have LOVED their wedding planner as much as we have. Each and every vendor they found for us was absolutely amazing. The Whim team allowed our family to truly enjoy the wedding and not worry or stress about anything. There is not a single thing that we would have changed and none of us can imagine having such a perfect wedding without Natalie, Giovanna, Moira and the countless others who helped create the day!!
