Diane Connerty, right

Weddings are significant events in people's lives. 

Ensure that it is organized as perfectly as possible by hiring professionals like ASE. The services we offer as wedding planners can include:
  • Interviewing the couple and the parents to identify your needs and vision
  • Preparing the budget
  • Planning detailed checklist
  • Preparing the attendee list
  • Identifying event venues (hotels, wedding manor etc.)
  • Identifying and hiring wedding professionals and service providers
  • (caterers, photographers, videographers, beautician, florists, bakers etc.), and preparation and execution of contracts
  • Coordinating deliveries and services on the wedding day

The ASE team can also help you plan a stellar birthday party or family reunion or anniversary party.   Let us execute the event while you get to enjoy the festivities and guests too!  True, there is a cost associated with hiring out the planning and execution of a personal event.  You have to ask yourself what your time is worth and what the toll would be on your body and nerves in terms of stress and anxiety if you did it yourself.  And if you live any distance away, you save travel costs making site visits. 


In this day and age of slick websites and electronic promotion, it would be easy to contract with a service provider who looks good in the promotion but turns out to be a disaster or even mediocre in providing the service. 

Adirondack Special Events is ready to ensure a seamless occasion and to help you enjoy your event too.  Rely on us for dependable planning and execution, with meticulous attention to detail.
