Your storybook wedding planners

Once upon a time, a lovely young woman named Holly got engaged.

A smart cookie, she immediately decided “No way am I doing all this wild, crazy wedding planning on my own. I actually wanna enjoy seeing my fiancé, friends and family before my wedding day!”

With visions of splendid ideas dancing in her head, Holly enlisted her beloved sister Jen who―what luck!―was a planner by nature. As the Big Day got a bit closer, however, they realized if Jen were to enjoy the wedding too, she shouldn’t be scampering around watching over logistics and details. Jen should be having the time of her life, just like Holly!

So Holly invited her dear friend and boss, Kaitlin, to step in. Perfect! Because Kaitlin owns two successful restaurants and is an amazing event planner.

And then it happened―Jen and Kaitlin met. Stars aligned! It was shared love for wedding planning at first sight. They’d both always dreamed of having their own boutique company so they seized the opportunity.

And that’s how, very quickly afterwards, Blue Lane Events was born.

Certainly not the usual love child to come forth after a super fun wedding but absolutely welcomed with joy by all.

As Blue Lane Events has grown over the years, Jen and Kaitlin have enthusiastically upleveled their professional talents. Both are certified wedding planners, attend educational conferences and embrace creative innovation to better serve their clients.

Blue Lane Events has also won the hearts of many very happy, very thankful brides and grooms. And parents too, who, having been spared the brunt of wedding day worry, actually retain delightful memories of this most precious occasion in their child’s life rather than a hazy blur of stress, photographer’s flashes and post-wedding exhaustion.

And―what fun! Brides from across the country call on Blue Lane Events for help with their New England-based weddings, while New England brides reach out for their near and far, anywhere in the world destinations.

They love, love, love how Jen and Kaitlin make everything about their wedding infinitely more creative, relaxing and beautiful.

“Thank God for you!” they say. “We never could’ve done it without you!”

Now if you would like a beautifully relaxing and creative wedding you’ll fondly remember forever…
