A: Yes! Our team plans and coordinates weddings anywhere our couples desire. We are happy to work with you no matter where your wedding will be—from Youngstown to Florida, Mexico, and beyond.
Q: Do you travel outside of OHIO for EVENTS & weddings?
A: Typically, a Catering Manager’s primary job is to oversee event details directly related to the venue, such as food and beverages. They don’t confirm or manage your vendors, run your rehearsal or logistically work out your event timeline. Additionally, they won’t ensure everything is running according to schedule on the wedding day. As professional planners, our primary goal is to oversee your wedding day with one goal in mind: you! We are your advocate and are there to support you from start to finish.
Q: Why do I need your help in addition to my Venue Coordinator?
A: The average wedding can take approximately 250 hours to plan—the equivalent to over six full work weeks! A planner can save you time spent researching and coordinating and assist you with vendor referrals, logistics management, and budget assistance. We also are there to confirm your vendors, create a timeline, run your rehearsal, and ensure you and your guests enjoy a stress-free day.

Angela and her team at Endearing Events are amazing! Our wedding day would never have run so smooth without them. Their professionalism and execution of services is unmatched. When our limo was involved in an accident 5 days before our wedding, Angela found another vendor within minutes! I’m so happy I decided to get a wedding planner and booked with Endearing Events!

“Endearing Events was, by far, the best investment we made for our wedding because I know it would not have been the absolutely magical and amazing day that it was without them! Within minutes of having my initial consultation with Angela, I knew we just had to hire her. Looking back, I cannot believe I ever thought I didn't need a wedding planner; more specifically, I cannot believe I ever thought that I didn't need Angela and her team! I hired Endearing Events for the last 90 days leading up to our wedding. Angela honestly made the last three months of planning and our wedding day so easy and enjoyable for us. We will forever be grateful to her and the Endearing Events team for helping to make our wedding day one that we will never, ever forget.”
“We will forever be grateful to her and the Endearing Events team."
Peyton & Tyler
One of the best decisions I made for our wedding was to hire Angela from Endearing Events as my wedding planner. From our first phone call I knew she was the one to go with. Trying to plan a wedding over 1,000 miles away made me so nervous but Angela went above and beyond. Even looking at a venue when I couldn’t be in town, she sent me photos, FaceTimed, etc. she was amazing! Her design programs really help you vision what everything is going to look like and her creativity, dedication, and attention to detail really made the vision come to life. I loved working with Angela!"
