We’re passionate about creating authentic, romantic, once in a lifetime weddings for the East Coast couple. From city chic to ethereal romance and everything in between, let us bring your vision to life.
With more than a decade of experience in the event industry, I know exactly what it takes to design the wedding day you’ve always envisioned.
In fact, my love affair with weddings began back during my high school years. Early on, I discovered my passion for weddings went much further than pretty flowers and dreamy dresses. I realized the joy of wedding planning was the opportunity to build meaningful relationships with my clients and their families, who often become dear friends along the way.
“Renee and her team went above and beyond in every way. We began working with Renee for day-of coordination about 3 months before our wedding - but I wish we had worked with her throughout the entire planning process. She immediately understood our vision for the big day. Renee provided rehearsal assistance, day-of timeline, vendor management, as well as set-up and styling. Most importantly, Renee checked-in on our entire bridal party throughout the day to make sure everyone had anything they needed. Renee was organized, decisive, honest, proactive, kind, fun, and prepared. Her experience and passion for the industry is evident. Almost two months after our wedding, I am still in awe of how perfectly everything came together! We're proud to have worked with Urban Soiree and will be recommending Renee to all of our friends and family who are planning their weddings!”
“I can't say enough good things about Urban Soiree. Renee and the Urban Soiree team was the best money we spent on our wedding. From the minute we met with Renee, we knew we were in good hands. Renee is so laid back but gets everything done. From helping us pick all our vendors to having to move our ceremony to a different location because of the rain, she helped me keep my cool under pressure. If anything went wrong on our wedding day, my husband and I had no idea! She is super quick with email and text responses and gets everything done as quickly as she can. You can tell she really enjoys her job and I loved working with her. I honestly don't think I could have pulled off planning a wedding without her!”
“Urban Soiree was absolutely fantastic to work with and made the entire wedding planning experience so much easier. I can't imagine going through my wedding without them by my side. My entire wedding party and family was blown away by their helpfulness on the day of the wedding and we all loved having Renee and her team with us from morning until night. I am very organized and didn't think i needed a planner but trust me, no matter how organized you are it will be the best money you spend. Renee helped me chose the most wonderful vendors and brought my vision to life. She was also so organized, kind and calming throughout the entire process. I can't recommend Renee and her team enough.”
“We worked with Renee for our Boston wedding this August and couldn’t recommend her enough. She is extremely talented on several levels- from helping us with our initial wedding vision, to being there for us while we walk down the aisle and every step in between. Some say that wedding planning can be stressful and negative experience but after working with Renee, I would do it all again in a heartbeat! She is well-experienced in the field and full of great vendor and décor recommendations. She worked with us to find a wonderful vendor team that we were so excited about (and confident in on the day-of) while making our wedding vision come to life. She was very responsive and so thoughtful in every aspect by making sure that all bases were covered and everything ran smoothly during the planning process and on the day-of (all with a smile on her face). If anything didn’t go according to plan, she was always in our corner, prepared to help. Renee and her team were so attentive that we felt like actual celebrities at our wedding! If you want to work with a planner that will go above and beyond, choose Urban Soirée!”

“Where do I start with Urban Soiree? I can truly say my wedding day wouldn’t have been what it was without Renee and her team. From the moment we hired Renee as our planner, she was dedicated to us, easy to contact and took all of the wedding planning stress away from us. My husband and I both work in the events industry for Peak Event Services so we weren’t sure that hiring a planner was even necessary- but boy are we happy we did! She was referred to us by our colleague who is the top sales executive at our company so we knew right away that she would do a good job, but she ended up exceeding our expectations. She constantly checked in with us, went out of her way to have in person meetings and made sure we stayed on a consistent timeline to prevent scrambling closer to our wedding date. My wedding photos look like they belong in a magazine. I feel honored that people are still talking about how perfect my wedding day was even 2 months later.”

“Choosing Urban Soiree to be our planner was easily the best wedding decision we made, and I cannot imagine having gone through this process without Renee. Renee is truly one-of-a-kind when it comes to her wedding planning style - she is creative and intuitive while also being extremely professional and detail-oriented. She handled every decision and minor bump with poise, and her expert planning and responses to everything gave us a huge sense of comfort and calm throughout the year and a half that we worked together. I was blown away by how gorgeous our wedding turned out to be (and that it was within our budget!), and how every detail felt very true to 'us' and the vision my husband and I set out for Renee. Renee is a total joy to work with and I cannot recommend her highly enough!”

“Renee was my other half for the last 11 months, I don’t know that I would have made it down the aisle in one piece without her. From day one she was friendly and upbeat, and I was always excited when a Renee email came through to my inbox!
Renee is very professional and really knows what she is doing - she answered literally every single question i had, tiny ones about favors to big ones like how to make the timeline of the day flow. She went above and beyond at every single moment, making me feel comfortable knowing I had someone who was completely by my side who was an expert in this space. She made the last year truly amazing for our wedding. I’d like to get married again just so I can work with Renee and her team!”

“Renee was my rock. She made the day what it was; she made the magic happen! We used Renee’s full boat of services and I cannot express how happy I am that we did. We could not have pulled this wedding off without Renee and her team. My family and my husband’s family live in NJ and NY and we got married at our alma mater, College of the Holy Cross in Worcester MA so it was a bit of a “destination” wedding. Renee was crucial in making this all happen. I cannot imagine our wedding day without Renee and her team. I cannot thank her enough for everything that she did to make our day what it was. She is the best in the biz, people!!! Please do yourself a favor and hire her – you will be thrilled that you did!”

“Hiring Renee as our wedding planner was the best decision my husband and I made during the wedding planning process. Renee is passionate, hard-working and a joy to work with! Her organization and prompt responses to emails helped so much to alleviate the typical stress from wedding planing. Renee has a great reputation in the wedding planning industry and has so many connections. She was so helpful with suggesting vendors that reflected our style and also fit in our price range. Renee really listened to our vision and executed it flawlessly. Our wedding was absolutely perfect and we could not have done it without Renee!”

“Several months before our wedding, I remember meeting Renee for a consultation over coffee, and basically wanted to hire her on the spot - simply for her ease of conversation, attention to detail, RESPONSIVENESS, and clear familiarity with Boston wedding contacts and the surrounding area vendors / venues. Renee offered a package that was perfect for our needs... someone who could be my extra set of eyes, ears and spearhead executing a flawless wedding day.
Well, Renee and the Urban Soiree team did just that. Our wedding on Dec 1st at Alden Castle was flawless! Hiring her was one of the best decisions I made during my planning process. Although the planning was mostly complete, all payments and contracts were in order, having Renee and her team to oversee the vendor communication and set up on my wedding day allowed me to feel weightless for the first time in a long time.
I was truly able to enjoy my wedding day and be "in the moment", without keeping track of timetable, flow, or anything else. I highly suggest Renee and her team to all future brides in the Boston area! Thank you for everything Renee!!”

Jenny Luu Hair + Makeup shares her top skincare tips to help brides achieve a gorgeous glow from the inside out.
As planners, we know the importance of remaining calm, staying informed, and being proactive every step of the way. While updates on COVID-19 are ever-changing, we really believe the best thing for couples to do is this — prepare contingency plans, but don’t give in to panic. Consider this our helpful resource for any couple navigating wedding planning amidst coronavirus, with practical tips to guide a proactive approach.
I love working with couples who aren’t afraid to embrace the winter weather, and Brittney and Joe did exactly that. They designed a celebration that captured the beauty of New England’s winter season, and the result was a romantic castle wedding that any guest would die to attend.
Deciding on a wedding location is no easy task, but Tina and Myles ultimately chose a place close to their heart. They decided to go back to the spot where it all began, and lucky for them that spot just so happened to be the beautiful College of Holy Cross.
I’ll never grow tired of hearing my client’s love stories and it’s couples like Ashley and David who remind me that sometimes the best relationships are worth waiting for. Their story wasn’t a classic love-at-first-sight scenario, but rather a gradual friendship that developed into something much more.
When both the bride and the groom happen to be architects, there’s a pretty good chance their eye for design is going to be on point. In fact, that’s exactly what happened when Christina and Adam tied the knot with a summertime fête in the heart of downtown Boston.
There are so many reasons I love coordinating a wedding day, and it’s couples like Megan and Eddie that make my job an absolute dream. They came to Urban Soirée Boston thanks to a referral from their photographer, Kelly Benvenuto and I knew they’d be some of the sweetest people to work with right from the get-go.
I was lucky enough to work with these two throughout their planning process, helping them design their spring wedding with the fresh and modern spin they envisioned.
Jen looked incredible in her sleek, open-back gown while Slava donned a navy blue suit that complemented their modern aesthetic to a T. The Boston Public Gardens played backdrop to their first look and pre-wedding portraits, with everything in full bloom on that gorgeous day in May.
