Top Rated Wedding Planner in Brooklyn, NY
Brooklyn weddings require smart logistics: BQE hiccups, cobblestone streets in DUMBO, tight loft load-ins, park photo permits, and venues with sound windows that do not budge. At O’Neil Events, we keep decisions simple, timelines realistic, and your day calm from first look to last song.
Couples work with us because they get one clear plan and a local-savvy wedding planner who knows DUMBO, Williamsburg, Greenpoint, Red Hook, Brooklyn Heights, Park Slope, and Gowanus. We build in travel buffers that actually work on weekends, coordinate shuttles and rideshare zones, and time portraits at Brooklyn Bridge Park, the waterfront, and brownstone blocks so you never miss golden hour. Vendor communication runs through us, so you are not chasing answers or watching the clock.

Everything You Need for Your Brooklyn Wedding
Wedding and engagement
Proposal planning, engagement photos, and early vendor scouting around DUMBO, Brooklyn Bridge Park, Brooklyn Heights Promenade, Domino Park, and Prospect Park. We secure permits, pick the best light, and keep the plan simple so you start strong and stay relaxed.
Anniversary party planning
From intimate dinners in Brooklyn Heights to loft or rooftop celebrations in Williamsburg, we manage catering, music, timelines, and guest flow so you can actually enjoy your own party.
Destination wedding planning
Bringing guests to Brooklyn or marrying elsewhere. We design travel-friendly timelines, coordinate hotel blocks in Williamsburg and Downtown Brooklyn, and align arrivals through JFK/LGA/EWR with one point of contact.
Elopement planning
City Hall vows with portraits in DUMBO, or a micro-ceremony at the waterfront followed by a restaurant reception. We secure the officiant, set a clean schedule, and keep the focus on your vows.
Engagement party planning
Private rooms in Williamsburg, winery or brewery takeovers, or a Red Hook waterfront cocktail party. We source the space, craft a short run of show, and keep speeches tight.
Wedding banquet planning
We align service with toasts and band/DJ cues so dinner moves on time. At The Liberty Warehouse, 501 Union, or Greenpoint Loft, we map back-of-house routes and cue sheets so guests feel cared for from first pour to dessert.
Wedding packages
Clear options for Brooklyn couples. Choose full service or month-of, then add rehearsal-dinner support, design intensives, transportation coordination, or a next-day brunch plan.
Day-of wedding coordination, Brooklyn, NY
You build the plan, and we run the day. Vendor arrivals, ceremony cues, family photo wrangling by location, and a reception flow that keeps the dance floor full.
Month-of wedding coordination, Brooklyn, NY
Six to eight weeks out, we finalize details, write the master timeline, confirm every vendor, lead rehearsal, and manage all load-ins and tear-down so you can enjoy the celebration.
Hi, I’m Colleen —
Experienced New York Wedding Planner
I know New York like the back of my hand, but I also know the Upstate vineyards, estates, and tucked-away Brooklyn wedding venues that couples fall in love with. My calm presence, trusted vendor relationships, and 15+ years of experience mean you’ll never have to worry about the timeline or whether the shuttle bus will make the vineyard run on time.
Before weddings, I was a Division I lacrosse player, so yes, I thrive under pressure, run a tight ship, and always keep things moving with strategy and grace. Combine that with an obsession for dessert and Diet Coke, and you’ve got someone who balances elegance with practicality.
✨ Fun Facts:
I run on Diet Coke (large, always).
Dessert is non-negotiable — every meal deserves it.
I’ll plan your rooftop photo session, but I won’t look down (heights are not my thing).
My toddler and cats keep me on my toes, and remind me daily that staying calm matters.
Shoes are my love language (hence the background photo)
