Client & Vendor Reflections

At Bella Poggio Events, creating an exceptional experience extends beyond our couples. We believe the best celebrations happen when couples, families, venues, and vendors work together as one team. These reflections come from both the couples we’ve had the honor of serving and the wedding professionals we’ve collaborated with along the way.

💛 From Our Couples

“She was already 5 steps ahead and had it fixed before anyone noticed.”

Claire was an absolute godsend! We originally thought our wedding would be simple because it was under 100 guests, but I quickly realized how much there was to manage. From helping us find vendors willing to travel to a smaller town to bringing my wedding vision to life when I struggled to put it into words, Claire guided us every step of the way.

She worked around my busy schedule, answered questions quickly, coordinated our rehearsal dinner, wedding, and reception, and made the entire process feel manageable. When rain forced us to pivot to our backup ceremony plan, she handled everything seamlessly. Even the small unexpected moments on the wedding day were taken care of before anyone noticed.

Everything ended up being beautiful, organized, and exactly what we had hoped for.

✨ The Experience of Being Taken Care Of

— Carrie, Mother of the bride

Thank you sooo much Bella Poggio Events for taking such good care of us on Caitlin and Dustin’s wedding day. Everything turned out beautiful, perfect and stress free, despite the crazy weather!! I swear, we couldn’t have done it without you. You are truly amazing!

— Thang, Groom

Thank you for making our day a DREAM!

— Kayla, Bride

I wish I had hired Claire sooner! There is so much I didn’t understand about planing a wedding. Claire helped me put all of the pieces together and think through all of the little details. She was so positive and accommodating to changes or last minute requests. I love how detailed her notes were and I really appreciated all of her timely responses. I highly recommend BPE. Thank you so much Claire for making our day absolutely amazing!

— Emily, Bride

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Claire was honestly incredible and made our wedding day so much less stressful. She was super organized, attentive, and handled everything behind the scenes so smoothly, which allowed us to just relax and enjoy the moment. Her calm and friendly presence made us feel at ease, knowing everything was in good hands. We’re really grateful for all her hard work and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable wedding or event coordinator!

— Candance, Bride

Claire did an excellent job coordinating our wedding. She responded quickly to all my texts, emails, and calls. She made sure I got everything I wanted to have happen on the day of the wedding. She made sure we were happy. For example, I really wanted a video shown before I walked down the aisle, she worked with church staff to make sure it showed properly and had sound. When she saw that one person was calling me too often about wedding setup on the wedding day, she got the phone number and had the person call her instead. Another thing that happened was we did not have a cake knife on the cake table. Before I could look for her she appeared, saw we needed a knife, and came back from the church kitchen within seconds. Oh, and by the way, we had buffet style food service at the reception, but guess who got our food for my husband and I? It was Claire! She truly relieved my stress and anxiety. We are forever grateful, she is worth every penny we spent!

— Caitlin & Dustin, Couple

Dustin Vincent and I truly cannot say enough amazing things about Bella Poggio Events From start to finish, Claire made our wedding day feel effortless, seamless, and absolutely perfect. Every detail was handled with so much care, integrity, attention to detail, organization, and professionalism—it allowed us to fully relax and actually enjoy one of the most important days of our life! Claire made the day seamless, everything fell into place as it should. It rained on our wedding day and it did not ruin anything. Not one thing. No matter what the obstacle, Claire made sure it was no big deal. This wedding was handled with grace and precision, all than Claire Bollino-Lopez-Lopez. Her dedication, creativity, and calm presence made all the difference. No matter what came up, she handled it flawlessly and made everything come together even better than I could have imagined. If you are planning a wedding or any special event, do yourself a favor and hire her—you will not regret it. She is truly the best at what she does. Thank you for everything. You made Our dream day come to life, and We are forever grateful. Bella Poggio Events

— Krissy, Bride

Claire was amazing! Do yourself a favor and book them because my life was SO much easier afterward. I wish I had contacted her sooner!

— Morgan, Bride

Bella Poggio Events really made my wedding special and worry free! Claire and her team are incredible to work with, answering any questions, thinking ahead and worked magic behind the scenes. I would hire them again in a heartbeat!

— Savannah, Bride

Thank you so much for everything Claire!! Yesterday would literally have not been possible without your help. You were such a great support throughout all the little things that come with planning a wedding in your own backyard 😆
We had the perfect day thanks to you!

— Michaela, Bride

Claire made my wedding the best it could be! All of the questions I would forget, she would have my back and ask for me. She also was my voice when I needed someone strong to make sure my day was perfect. She helped me find vendors that were worth the time and money when I was feeling defeated and overwhelmed. She is absolutely the best and I wouldn’t ever think to use anyone else if I needed to plan an event!
