Where do I even begin with Stephy Plechas???? Looking back on our wedding day and the entire planning process, hiring her as our wedding planner was single-handedly the BEST decision I could have made! When my husband and I first sat down with her over Zoom, it didn’t take long for either of us to know that she was just the person for us. Her bubbly personality, attention to detail, thoroughness, and expertise shone through from the very first time we met her (even over a Zoom call!) and only became more apparent throughout the entire process.
As someone who is very Type A, Stephy’s attention to detail was unmatched. Right off the bat, she provided us with amazing vendor recommendations, a mega checklist to get us all the way to and through our wedding day, spreadsheets to keep everything organized, and so much more. It itched my brain exactly the right way and immediately made me feel at ease, especially with how overwhelming wedding planning can be.
At every step of the process, Stephy was there to give us her honest opinion, whether it was about pricing from other vendors, the quality of someone’s work, the napkins, the tablescape, or any of the million little decisions that come with planning a wedding. Her decision-making was SO needed, especially toward the end when I was completely over making decisions myself. I trusted her so much and knew with full confidence that she understood my vision to a T. Eventually, whenever I was asked to make yet another decision, I would simply turn to her and ask, “What do you think?” She would give me her honest opinion and perspective, and more often than not, that’s exactly what we would go with!
When it came time for our vision and months of planning to finally come together, boy did Stephy DELIVER! Not for a single moment on our wedding day did I worry about anything. I knew she had my back, and everything truly came together better than I ever could have dreamed. When she pulled my husband and me into our reception space to see it before letting our guests in, all I could do was hug her and sob. It was everything I could have possibly dreamed of and more.
Even weeks later, our guests are STILL gushing to us about how perfect our wedding day was; how beautiful everything looked, how smoothly the day flowed, and how much fun they had. I think that speaks volumes about Stephy and the work she put into making our day what it was. So much of what she did happened behind the scenes, which allowed us and everyone we love to simply be present and enjoy the day.
And when I say she went above and beyond, I truly mean it. At the end of the night, Stephy even took it upon herself to bring things back to my parents’ Airbnb for us. Not because it was expected of her, but simply because she wanted my husband and me to keep enjoying our night without having one more thing to worry about. That little act of kindness perfectly sums up the kind of person she is and the way she cared for us throughout this entire experience. She is seriously incredible, and I am genuinely sad that I don’t get to plan another wedding with her!
And on top of being an incredible wedding planner, Stephy became an amazing friend. Wedding planning can be incredibly overwhelming and, honestly, sometimes really lonely. There are so many decisions to make, things to keep track of, and moments where it can feel like you’re carrying the weight of it all yourself. Stephy made sure I never felt that way. I always felt like I had someone in my corner who understood what I was trying to accomplish and genuinely cared about getting us there.
More than once, I texted her just to tell her how stressed or overwhelmed I was with the planning process. She was always so accessible (even when she didn’t need to be!) and was there to listen, reassure me, talk me through things, and support me. I never felt alone in this process because I knew I had Stephy, and I don’t think I can adequately express how invaluable that was to me.
Stephy was such an integral part of not only our wedding day, but my entire experience leading up to it. My only regret is not booking her for a longer period of time so she could have been even more involved!
If you are thinking about hiring her to plan your wedding, listen to me when I say: DO. NOT. HESITATE. Stephy will be integral to your planning, your experience, and ultimately to bringing your perfect wedding day to life. I truly cannot say enough good things about her or recommend her enough. We are forever grateful that we had her by our side! ud83eudd0d
Stephy was incredible to work with! She provided a great online checklist (and seating chart) to keep me organized along the way. I was able to text her anytime to ask questions or ask about vendors. The day of timeline she put together was set up perfectly and everything ran seamless. Anytime I mentioned Stephy was my planner to a vendor they were very happy to hear and had no doubts that things would run smoothly. She even went above and beyond to take all of our wedding stuff back to our hotel at the end of the night while we headed to the bars! She truly let us enjoy the day and no one had to worry about schedules, set up, last minute details.
5 minutes into my conversation with Stephy, I knew she was the one I wanted to take on this journey with. And it was the best choice I made in this crazy and exciting process! Stephy was right there with me every step of the way. Her timeline and budget templates allowed us to keep track of everything we needed and wanted without losing a track of even the tiniest details. She was always there for me for any question I had, big or small. Regardless of crazy family dynamics or overwhelming moments, Stephy made me feel like my wedding was always a priority of hers.
When the day finally came, Stephy kept everyone on track and never left me wondering where I needed to be. She made sure all of our belongings made it back to our rooms, I don’t think a single Bobby pin made it past her! Every detail was absolutely perfect, and there’s not a single thing I wish had gone differently. All of our guests were raving about how flawless the day and night had gone, saying it was their favorite wedding they had attended! While I wish I could relive this day over and over, I couldn’t be happier with how every single part of it went. Stephy is truly at the top of her game, and shoutout her wonderful assistant Jersey!!!

From the moment we met Stephy she became so much more than our wedding planner. She became family. Her incredible talent, creativity, patience, attention to detail, including being budget conscious and genuine love for what she does made Kenzie and Tyler‘s wedding everything they dreamed of and so much more. If you’re looking for someone who’s unbelievably talented , organized , recommends amazing vendors and truly invested in making your wedding unforgettable look no further. By the way, her husband came in so handy to help attach the chiffon to the chuppah in the wind , matching the insp

Stephy went above and beyond stamping every tambourine , tieing lace around flip
Flops, and having so many items shipped to her house since we were a 100% destination wedding. She was there to hold our hands every step of the way. Thank you so much Stephy for making Kenzie & Tyler’s wedding the most incredible memory of a lifetime u2764ufe0fu2764ufe0f
There truly aren’t enough words to capture how exceptional Stephy is, or how grateful I am for everything she did for our wedding. From the very first introductory phone call, I knew she was the one. Unlike every other planner I interviewed, Stephy never felt transactional. She approached the entire process with genuine heart and loyalty, taking the time to truly get to know us as people first. That personal connection made all the difference.
Stephy goes so far above and beyond the typical role of a wedding planner. She voluntarily met with vendors on our behalf, picked up items, found creative alternatives when needed, and always protected our vision while never overstepping. Her industry connections were invaluable—whenever I had a specific idea or vendor in mind, she could recommend someone even better who elevated the result and often saved us money in the process. She is endlessly patient, kind, understanding, and flexible. No matter the vision or personality of the couple, she adapts seamlessly and makes it feel completely effortless.
On the wedding day itself, Stephy was our absolute anchor. She knew every detail cold and carried the most calming, steady presence. My family and I leaned on her completely, and even our guests commented on how positive, charming, and supportive she was throughout the day. Whenever my nerves started to spiral, I only had to look at Stephy and I immediately felt grounded again.
Stephy and her assistant Jersey are truly irreplaceable. Anyone lucky enough to work with them is in the best hands imaginable. They created a day that exceeded every expectation I had and gave us the most beautiful, seamless celebration I could have dreamed of. I cannot thank Stephy enough—our wedding was everything it was because of her.
Thank you, Stephy, from the bottom of my heart.
Stephy was incredibly organized and on top of every detail throughout the entire planning process. As someone with a very Type A personality, I appreciated how she catered to my specific needs and always made sure I felt informed, comfortable, and confident every step of the way.
She advocated for us with vendors, handled issues before they became problems, and involved me as much—or as little—as I wanted. On the wedding day, she was active, present, and completely in control. She also brought such a calming presence during our rehearsal the night before, which helped ease any nerves.
There wasn't a single moment during the wedding when I felt like something had gone wrong, and I know that's because Stephy was behind the scenes making sure everything ran seamlessly. A specific moment that stands out is when the guests were becoming colder than anticipated. I texted Stephy and within seconds the heaters were on their way out. I was able to be fully present and enjoy every second while she handled everything else.
Beyond her professionalism, Stephy is incredibly personable, easy to talk to, and genuinely cares about her couples. She has a special way of making each bride feel important and supported, especially through her thoughtful texts and check-ins during the week leading up to the wedding.
She was willing to bring all of my crazy ideas and dream details to life, and she executed them flawlessly. I truly cannot imagine our wedding without her and would recommend her to anyone looking for a planner who goes above and beyond. Thank you Stephy!
