Whim planned our wedding and it could not have been more perfect. From start to finish, Natalie & Moira and their team were thoughtful, kind, knowledgeable and so talented at what they do. They made our wedding fun and beautiful and they got us and our style from the start. We are so grateful. If you are considering an event planning team, these folks are the best.

Whim is absolutely incredible, and was instrumental in pulling off a deeply beautiful, joyful, and easy wedding day for us. We decided to start working with Whim in September 2021, with hopes of getting married in Fall 2022. We quickly learned just how much of a crunch there was on venues and vendors— but that’s where Natalie’s tremendous connections through the industry came in. She quickly moved on a number of venues and vendors, sketching out different plans for us, but it was because of her fantastic working relationship with the events team at our dream venue (The Mount) that we ultimately scooped up a slot there when they had a cancellation.

Natalie’s professionalism, know how, and smarts were so important all through the process—by and large we almost always went with her vendor recommendations, though she was great about presenting us with and pricing out a range of options. Down to a one, each vendor she recommended blew it out of the water: photography, makeup, band, etc. In addition to their incredible services day of, each vendor was absolutely wonderful to work with, just lovely and good natured, people that genuinely added to the day.

And Natalie herself is that way, too: we knew we liked her from the first day we met her on a Zoom, but came to realize over the course of a year of working together both just how fun and how much of a force of nature she really was. (I’m going to miss talking to her routinely!) My mother and I were the most involved in planning the wedding and we both are, shall I say, not weak personalities— but Natalie was fantastic with working with both of us, and made the whole process if not stress free (how could planning a wedding be stress free?), as stress-light as possible, and also highly efficient and enjoyable.

And the entire team was fantastic, too. Moira is truly a genius with florals— I had so many guests comment on how stunning they were— but the entire design of the wedding was truly breathtaking, and really felt true to us. Moira and Natalie were really responsive in talking with us and figuring out what we wanted.

We felt how lucky we were to work with Whim the entire way through the process, but maybe nowhere as much as day of, when the whole team sprang into action. Everything felt beautifully thought through, wonderfully controlled, and in symphony: it made it so that I could focus on being with my friends, family, and (now) husband on the day, and made all the difference.

They’re an incredible team of people and professionals. I feel lucky that they were the ones planning our wedding, and we’d work with them again in a heartbeat and recommend them without any hesitation.

Nobody really talks about the wedding planning process or what it entails. We know by the end we will have this amazing day--but that day only lasts 24 hours. Most of the wedding process is in the planning and it is SO important to have a great planning team. Natalie, Moira, and the team at Whim created an open, playful, fun, and meaningful dream world where my husband and I lived in for almost two years. We dreamed up flower configurations based on childhood memories, music playlists from our favorite artists, and even included our dog as a flower pup, adorned with florals from my bouquet. As a type A perfectionist with control issues, the Whimen allowed me to be all 50 shades of my personality while gently guiding me along the way, mirroring the way the mountain creeks moved the snow melt down stream where we tied the knot. The time I was engaged was a whirlwind of love, laughs, and lots of flowers and I could not have been transported to this ethereal state without Whim. Thank you is too small for what you have given me and my husband. We are forever grateful. s&j

Whim is quite simply the best wedding planning team out there. From beginning to end they were kind, professional, and creative, and always kept our best interests at heart. They knew the right questions to ask to help us refine our vision and priorities for the day, and then worked tirelessly to make that dream a reality.

The whole team is so talented at what they do. Natalie is the energetic and detailed planner you wish could plan your whole life. Moira is the visionary artist whose floral design stunned even our most botanically inclined guests. And Giovanna was everywhere at once, while also finding time to create a styling suite that looked like it came straight out of a magazine.

Whim knows all of the best vendors, and was our champion and advocate the whole way - even through a COVID postponement. They made a stressful time much less so by taking on all of the extra work needed to move wedding dates without us lifting a finger.

Planning this wedding with Whim was incredibly fun - I’ll miss our monthly calls! Thank you so much, Natalie, Moira and Giovanna, for everything you did to make our dream wedding a reality!

My husband and I first started working with Whim in the fall of 2019 after we had chosen a venue and decided that we needed a planner. From day one, we knew we had made the right choice. Our first time meeting the team in person was at a walk through at our venue, and they knew all of the right questions to ask.

From day one, we felt as though they all really understood what our vision was and felt super confident and comfortable with the way that things would be executed.

When COVID came along (yay!) we were cautiously optimistic that our wedding (originally scheduled for 12/5/2020) would be good to go, as were Natalie and her team. We sent our save the dates in mid May, and shortly thereafter decided to postpone until 12/4/2021. I honestly don't know how my husband and I would have been able manage or navigate the number of phone calls that had to be made, and the number of contracts that had to be migrated to the new date which was over a year out.

Things stayed quiet for a bit because of the huge gap in time before our event, but our almost monthly calls before planning went into full gear were always something that we looked forward to.

The level of attentiveness to us as a couple and attention to every little detail is unmatched. Our wedding had a lot of moving parts, and the team at Whim pulled it off in a seemingly effortless manner. Our vision of our wedding day was met beyond our expectations, and we were made to feel like they enjoyed everything as much as we did.

The vendors the team at Whim recommends and works with are the absolute top tier in every facet; from hair/makeup, cake, rentals, lighting etc. There was never a doubt in my mind that the quality of everything would be exquisite. The day-of bridal assistant was an amazing addition and I'm so grateful for that added detail.

Natalie is a sweetheart and super enthusiastic. You can tell that she loves what she does and is invested in every couple that she works with. Moira is a supremely talented florist and puts love into every single selection she makes and every arrangement presented. Giovanna's attention to detail and eye for design is finely tuned and unmatched.

I could go on for days, there aren't enough words to adequately express how over the moon we are with our experience with the team at Whim over the last 2 years or so. Thank you so so much for creating a magical day for Alex and I. Anyone who chooses you ladies to be a part of their day can consider themselves lucky.

All our love,
Jenna and Alex

I had the absolute best time working with Whim to plan my Berkshires wedding. Natalie and her whole team are absolutely amazing. Extremely professional, but also so kind and fun to work with. I can't imagine having a wedding without them!

My husband and I came to the table with very few ideas about what we wanted our wedding to look like other than it should feel very "us" and we wanted to make sure we really focused on the guest experience. Over the course of our planning process, Natalie and her team did an amazing job of asking the right questions to learn about who we were and create the wedding of our dreams.

Whim is on top of everything. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, I knew they would have everything under control and they did! Our guests have been all been talking about how amazing the flow of the event was, how beautiful the florals were (thanks Moira and crew!!!), and how cozy and elegant the tent was. The morning of the wedding was so relaxing and I was able to really focus on the day and enjoying every moment.

Whim also knows the best vendors--amazing, kind people who are a total dream to work with and they do an amazing job of giving different budget ranges and prices for each vendor band, photographer, catering, etc. etc..

Working with Whim was a no brainer, and my husband and family have been joking about having a 5 year anniversary party so we can work with the Whim-en again! Really, I can't say enough positive things about this team!

I cannot overstate how AMAZING Whim was through the entire planning experience and their execution of our vision was beyond my wildest hopes and dreams!! I really debated having a planner and in retrospect I can’t even imagine not having the Whim team. From the start, Natalie and the team were incredibly attentive and genuinely wanted to understand who we were and what we wanted out of the wedding. They presented multiple sketches or design boards to us with ideas and to make sure we were always on the same page. They were great at taking my edits whenever I had changes or at showing me as many options for a certain aspect as I wanted. They are super detail oriented, always on time, always great to work with and are A+ executors!

The whole Whim experience was terrific but on the day of, they were truly unbelievable - things were seamless. No detail went unreviewed. I am a worrier, and on that day, because of Whim, I worried about nothing. Everything was STUNNING! I got SO many compliments from guests about Whim’s hospitality. Whim’s staff on the day of was professional, friendly, and were there to help guests with any question or request. Not to mention they provided a concierge for me on the day of to make sure I was all set with anything I needed. They truly made the day perfect!

I’ll also mention that they are well connected with other vendors and even managed to get us a cake provider I found last minute on Instagram that was otherwise booked. Every vendor that worked with them had nothing but good things to say and I can understand why.

Long story short, do yourself a favor and hire Natalie and the team at Whim. They are phenomenal, you won’t regret it!
