By Fenris Morrow, Expert in Professional Services · ✓ Data verified August 2026 · 8 min read

A New York wedding planner isn't optional once you factor in permits for Central Park, venue logistics across five boroughs and vendors who book out a year ahead. Every name on this page holds at least a 4.8-star average, and Enchanting Engagements alone has logged 844 Google reviews, so the real decision is less about quality and more about which kind of day each one is built for.

The Wedding Salon Bridal Shows (4.8, 910 reviews) runs bridal showcases for vendor discovery, while Perfect Wedding NYC (5.0, 550 reviews) and Modern Rebel & Co. (4.9) cover full-service and non-traditional planning respectively.

How we score

Every number on this page comes from public Google data on the date shown, not from opinion or payment. Rating is the business’s live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated them, ranked against other New York wedding planners. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 5.0 from hundreds of reviews carries more weight than a 5.0 from a handful. Recency reflects how recently customers are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

How much does a wedding planner cost in New York? (2026)

Pricing depends heavily on scope, from proposal-only setups to full-service planning. None of the businesses on this page publish specific packages we can cite with confidence, so ask each for a written quote against your exact wedding size and venue.

Serving all of New York

The planners above cover New York City and the surrounding area, including Manhattan, Brooklyn, and nearby New Jersey venues used for city weddings. Searching for a wedding planner near me? Every listing below shows a live phone number and directions so you can reach the closest option fast.

What to ask before you hire a wedding planner

Do you offer full planning, partial planning, or month-of coordination only?
Have you worked at my specific venue or type of venue before?
What’s included in the package price, and what costs extra?
Who handles vendor communication, and who’s my main point of contact?
What happens if there’s a last-minute venue or weather change?

Frequently asked questions

How did you choose these wedding planners?

We started from every wedding planner in New York with a public Google presence, then ranked by rating, review volume, consistency and recency. See How we score above.

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from the public Google data in the scorecard. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position on the underlying data.

How often is this updated?

The data carries a verified date (August 2026 on this page). We refresh listings periodically so ratings and review counts stay current.

What’s the difference between full planning and month-of coordination?

Full planning covers the entire process from vendor selection to day-of logistics, while month-of coordination steps in closer to the wedding to finalize details and run the day itself. The Wedding Plan & Company and Modern Rebel & Co. both offer month-of and full-service options.

Do any of these planners specialize in elopements?

Yes. Enchanting Engagements and Perfect Wedding NYC both run dedicated elopement and proposal packages, including for outdoor New York venues like Central Park and Brooklyn Bridge Park.

The bottom line

Enchanting Engagements is the safe default for proposals and elopements given its review volume and perfect rating, while Perfect Wedding NYC suits couples wanting an all-inclusive ceremony package. Get a written quote before booking, whichever you choose.
