Apricity Event Co Planner | Reviews

My husband, Phillip, and I worked with Beryl when Apricity Event Co was still known as Loli Events. Let me preface this by saying this that I have actually organized large scale events as a part of my job and that I am extremely Type A. I had high standards and knew what I wanted in a wedding planning partner. Beryl was all of that and more. In the lead up to the wedding, Beryl guided us in making decisions about our vendors, which was especially important as we had no contacts in the area. She was responsive, supportive, and above all, she understood our vision. When the big day arrived, Beryl went above and beyond. We were blown away, but our guests were too! We had several people come up to us afterwards to explain how Beryl had made little requests possible, all without bothering my new husband or I. She anticipated our needs, paid attention to details and brought our dreams to life during an incredible wedding weekend we'll remember forever. We are thrilled with our decision to have worked with Beryl and I'll always cherish our wedding as a result of her efforts.

We worked with Apricity (previously Loli) for the vision we had for our wedding since late 2019 (pre-Covid). With the pandemic and a baby, we had to postpone our wedding three times and it took us over 5 years to finally have our wedding in the French alps this past June.   Pretty much every vendor and venue had to be reconsidered multiple times across the years as we were planning for a whole week of wedding events and adventure activities for our guests - we even had to change our ceremony location 3 weeks before the wedding due to the unusually lengthy rainy spring season this year. Given the unpredictable nature of mountain top weddings, we worked with the Apricity team to prepare Plan B for every major outdoor event in case of rain, which I'm glad we did because we ended up resorting to Plan B for one of the key events.   Beryl was our lead planner from Apricity and we are forever grateful for her positive attitude and calm demeanor through various challenges and crisis moments we came across. She was focused on finding solutions and didn't give up until we found an option that was not only workable, but that we were satisfied with. Her team searched for various venue/vendor options relentlessly and we wouldn't have been able to design our dream wedding week without their persistence and dedication to help bring our vision to life.  We had 80 adults and 30 children at the wedding flying in from all over the world (US, Asia, Europe) - so it wasn't the easiest wedding to plan. But Beryl and her team at Apricity helped make our wedding week in Megève as magical as we hoped it to be - we can't praise them enough!

We had the pleasure of working with Beryl for about a year leading up to our destination wedding in Provence this summer. We’re so happy with her work along the way and the final product. I really trusted and valued her eye, creativity and taste, which led to a beautiful aesthetic for the weekend. I was so grateful for her and the wonderful Charlotte’s positive, sweet attitudes, responsiveness, attentiveness and strong ability to follow through and follow up - they were godsends. We had over 200 people at the wedding (most of whom were not local to the area); their attention to detail and organizational skills really shone through in the transportation and logistics, making our guests feel comfortable and supported (which was of course very important to us). Beryl was very patient and generous with her time throughout the entire process. We felt very well supported which was hugely appreciated. For what it’s worth, multiple guests told us that it was the best wedding they’d ever been to (and we certainly thought so :). We are going to miss working with Apricity and highly recommend!

As parents of the bride, we give Beryl and Charlotte of Apricity the highest of recommendations. They were, simply, the best we could have hoped for in making our wedding event perfect. Our event was a complicated, four-day affair that needed hands-on expertise, planning and guidance, long before the event took place, and particularly during the days leading up to the wedding. Beryl was a calming presence throughout, and you knew she was in charge of everything - and certainly was able to easily anticipate our needs, and nimble at finding solutions when any problems cropped up. She worked seamlessly with the various vendors - hotel staff, chefs, musicians, drivers - and you could tell that she had the highest respect from all of the vendors as well. Both Beryl and Charlotte were always available to us, and helped with even the most mundane tasks. They wanted to ensure that none of the headaches of the event became ours. We were also impressed that Beryl was sensitive to any cost changes during the wedding and reception that might result in higher costs than were anticipated, and was very discrete in letting us know what they were, and including us in decisions on how to handle them. We would hope that anyone looking for a great partner in planning their event would consider Apricity. Just the best.

It’s taken us some time to be able to write this review because there are no words that can do Beryl and Charlotte justice. From the moment we met them, we knew we had to work with them. They are warm, calming, organized, but also so creative, and so much fun. And while we want to go on and on about the actual event (which was actually 4 days of events!!!), We would be remiss if we didn’t first highlight the MONTHS leading up to it. Beryl, Charlotte, and us emailed almost every single day. They were attentive, detail-oriented, PATIENT with us as we went through 10 iterations of floral arrangements, and most importantly they understood our vision better than we even did. The actual events were beyond our wildest dreams. Beryl and Charlotte understood us as a couple, our taste, our friends, our family. When we walked into our dinner room for the first time, I broke down in tears - I had struggled so much with seeing the vision on paper - but Beryl and Charlotte put together something that was better than I ever thought was possible (they both have impeccable design skills, but they also just understand people’s vision so well.) Their attention to detail, their ability to keep us on track (down to the very minute) was something to marvel at. We never once even thought about the time, or the logistics, or really anything other than enjoying each other’s and our guest’s company, because we had so much trust in them as a team. We are so unbelievably lucky to have gotten the chance to work with them on the most important weekend of our lives. Every single detail was perfect and every one of our guests said it was the best wedding they had ever been to. There are no words to ever properly thank you, Beryl and Charlotte, but THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts.

I have had the privilege of working in events within the luxury fashion industry, and I can say with absolute certainty that there is no one better than Beryl and Charlotte. Their level of foresight and intuition was extraordinary—they anticipated my every need, even those I hadn’t thought of myself. Their professionalism was flawless, their attention to detail impeccable, and their ability to keep everything running perfectly on time—down to the minute—was beyond impressive. From the very start, they made me feel like family, bringing a warmth and personal touch that made the entire experience unforgettable. As a bride who had dreamed of her wedding since childhood and spent over two and a half years meticulously planning every detail, I was without question one of the most Type A, detail-oriented, and opinionated brides you can imagine. Yet, at every single step, Beryl and Charlotte exceeded my wildest expectations. They blew me away, from steaming my outfits as soon as I arrived in Paris to seamlessly coordinating food orders and personally putting together and delivering the welcome bags. Their thoughtfulness and care were unparalleled. Coordinating 100 guests during our three day wedding weekend with the first two days in Paris and the wedding day at the stunning Château Villette, 45 minutes outside of Paris, was a monumental task, yet they made it feel effortless and magical. Every moment was executed to perfection, and the memories they helped create are beyond words. I truly cannot recommend them highly enough. Having had the misfortune of starting with a planner who didn’t work out, bringing Beryl on board was, without a doubt, the single greatest decision I made throughout the entire process. I cannot express how deeply grateful I am for her and Charlotte. If I could hire them a hundred times over, I would, without hesitation. They turned my dream wedding into a reality, and I can only hope to have the opportunity to work with them again in the future. They are, quite simply, the best in the business, and I will forever be in awe of their talent, dedication, and the magic they bring to every event.

Rachel & the Loli team are the best. My wife and I had an amazing experience working with Rachel for our wedding at the Rainbow Room in NYC this past February (2023). She is calm, cool, collected, and will get things done with minimal input from you so that you can enjoy your wedding & the planning process instead of having it become a stress or a chore. Overall, you want somebody who’s both organized and enjoyable to work with. Rachel is that person. I've never been to another wedding that went as smoothly as ours. Our day was perfect. You're in good hands.

Having Rachel and Carly on our side felt like a cheat code. While friends were planning their weddings and griping about vendors that were hard to work with, unresponsive hotel managers, and budgets getting out of control, my wife Lisa and I kept looking at each other and wondered if we were missing something. Truthfully, Rachel & Carly were just so incredibly organized, experienced, and generally calming presences that we enjoyed every minute of our wedding planning process. We also ended up with a wedding that felt both incredibly personal to us but also a notch above anything that was on our mood board - we owe that to Rachel & Carly's impeccable taste.
A few highlights of the process for us: 1/ The tastings we went on were some of our most memorable date nights. Delicious food (because of course, Rachel knew the best vendors in town), great conversation with Rachel, and the one we went with nailed the late night burgers for our guest that folks talked about weeks after. 2/ When we wanted to come up with a fun way to acknowledge our wedding date being on April Fool's Day, Rachel didn't laugh in our faces but found an outstanding magicians who paid tribute to the day without making the whole affair tacky. He did a short trick with us in front of all our guests that ended with a momento we still have from the night. 3/ Choosing furniture and fun fix-ins was a breeze with Carly and Rachel. We upgraded to really elegant bars in a few choice locations but stayed within our budget overall. Carly even spend nights chasing down a wayward 3am email from me asking if there was any way to install arcade games in a part of the venue (of course she found several vendors, but days later I'd already realized it was a bad idea). 4. Our day-of was magical, effortless, and really really special. When the weather turned out unseasonably warm and sunny, Carly led a last-minute pivot to bring a bunch of cocktail hour tables outdoors so we could use the space before thunderstorms a couple of hours later. We couldn't be more thankful and would WHOLEHEARTEDLY recommend Loli Events to any bride & groom to be who want to ensure they enjoy the process as much as the outcome when it comes to their wedding. Rachel's calming demeanor, her obvious experience and connections, and her high bar for quality let us make decisions quickly, calmly, and confidently, and we couldn't be more thrilled with how our wedding turned out. Can't wait to get their help again for our vow renewals in 30 years.

We used Loli events and Carly was our planner. She was amazing in every way. Helpful courteous endlessly patient. She was able to take care of everything seamlessly and just allow us to have a wonderful time. When there were a few issues (rain,Nyc transportation) she quickly improvised solutions and we didn’t miss a beat.
She stayed with us through the entire wedding and after party, helping us cheerfully along the way. Catherine and Delaney her assistants were amazing too! Highly recommend!
