We were absolutely delighted with Beth Utano's wedding coordination services! While we were hesitant about needing a coordinator at first, it was so worth it. From start to finish, Beth demonstrated exceptional professionalism and a genuine passion for making our day absolutely perfect. Her attention to detail was remarkable; she went over every aspect of the event with us, from the ceremony to the reception.
Beth's calm and reassuring presence throughout the planning process helped alleviate any stress we had. She was always available to answer our questions, and offer creative solutions to ensure that our vision for the wedding was brought to life. Her organizational skills are top-notch; she managed timelines, vendors, and logistics seamlessly, allowing us to relax and enjoy our celebration.
On the day of, Beth was incredible, handling everything with grace and efficiency to ensure that everything ran smoothly (despite some time hiccups on our end). Beth was on top of it all, making sure that every detail was taken care of.
Thanks to Utano Events, our wedding day was more magical than we could have ever imagined. Her dedication, expertise, and personality truly set her apart. We are immensely grateful for her hard work and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding coordinator who truly cares about making dreams come true! -

I decided to hire a wedding planner as soon as we got engaged. Beth was one of the many we looked at and recognized the value right away. She helped us every step of the way and brought my vision to life with very little effort from us. The month before coordination and the day of, she blew me away with her attention to detail and ability to keep me calm while making sure everything was completed. She worked closely with every single vendor, making sure no stress was on us. She also decorated the entire venue with only color and flower type from me. If there was a hiccup, she would smooth it over. If I wanted something changed, she never showed any irritation. Her team on the day was amazing, including Darin who was our officiant. He even teared up during the ceremony! Don't hesitate to hire Beth and her team, they will not disappoint. -

Beth was a lovely wedding planner. She helped me with every question I had and was available at any time of the day. I didn’t need too much planning but I wanted it for peace of mind throughout the whole wedding planning process. She exceeded my expectations! Everyone loved her presence at the wedding 😊 Dianne did our ceremony coordination and Darin was our officiant. They were wonderful! We couldn’t be more grateful for having the three of them making our whole day run so smoothly. Utano Events is a fantastic group of people that you shouldn’t hesitate to hire for any weddings or events. I can’t say enough great things about them! Thank you Beth, Darin & Dianne! We had the best wedding day 🩷 -

I wasn't really sure what to expect when I started planning a largely DIY event, so I booked a consultation with Beth from Utano Events. She was very friendly and knowledgeable. I ended up working with Elle on my event and she was wonderful! Elle was very organized, detailed, and professional while also being friendly and easy to talk to. I had an idea of what I wanted, but wasn't sure how to get there and she took it to the next level. When I walked into the decorated space I was blown away by what she did. Beth also bartended my event and everyone loved her. It was a great experience working with Utano Events! -

Chris Sent on 07/07/2023This is the team you need to choose!!!
Stop your search here, go with Utano. Seriously.
At first I was hesitant about the idea of using a wedding planner because honestly, I felt like my (now) wife and I were well organized, in sync, and diligent. However, while all those traits served us well in the lead up to our big day, nothing beat Beth and Elle’s experience, wisdom, kindness, and excitement to be our support through the whole process.
Within 45 seconds of talking to the Beth & Elle, I understood that they were worth EVERY penny. Here are some reasons why you need to just go with this stellar team for your big event:
They are prompt about their duties and deadlines. Never once did we have to reach out about reminders, if anything we were the ones getting a heads up about the contact they had made with other vendors in anticipation for the wedding day.
Their experience is palpable. Just spend a few minutes talking to Beth and she’ll make sure you are heading to the right place, with the right outfit, and a snack in your hand. She has got all kinds of insight on things that work and things that don’t. She’ll also make sure any kind of unique plans you have will be executed incredibly well, e.g., we incorporated a Chinese tea ceremony into our actual main ceremony (this is normally done the day before) and Beth created a smooth transition process and gave all the bridal party different roles in the action—it went beautifully!
Their kindness is pervasive. My wife and I loved working with Beth and Elle because they cared. It showed through all of their actions and hard work. Because of this care, it made us feel comfortable going to them for any of our needs or questions. Plus, they got on the dance floor with us a little and that’s something we’ll always remember too! Talk about doing it all!
Overall, Beth and Elle were two talented and highly capable individuals to work with. Stop your search here, you’ve found your planners.

Beth was amazing for many reasons, but the biggest is that she made our entire experience completely stress free. Every phone call leading into our big day was efficient and she truly catered to our needs. On our wedding day, it was raining on and off and we had planned for an outdoor wedding. We had a good window to get married, but then it started drizzling again! I felt so bad for our guests out in the rain and almost pulled everyone in. But Beth came prepared with enough umbrellas for 130 guests and we got married outside anyway and it was perfect! I had no idea Beth was so prepared but she thought of everything and made sure every detail was completely perfect! When my sister gets married, she is planning on using Beth as well! I can't recommend her enough! Our whole day was completely stress free thanks to Beth and we truly had time to take in our wedding. -

Beth was wonderful! We hired her and her staff for our wedding in May 2023 and she made the day go so smoothly. She was quick and efficient to tackle anything that came up. She was great to work with and would 10/10 recommend her services! -

Service with a smile
To say I was satisfied with the service provided from Beth is an understatement. She was everything I needed for our special day and more.
At my first meeting with her, she helped to remind me that it was OK to put my wants first and that nothing about our wanting a Marvel themed wedding was silly. She reminded and suggested things to me that turned out fantastic on the day of. Correspondence from her never took long (sometimes it was seconds after I sent an email).
On day of, I never saw her with anything else but a smile and her voicing that it would all be ok despite all my anxiety and nerves. Truly I do not think our evening would have been what it was without her.
The only downside - now I have to figure out another event to get Beth to handle for me again! ❤️ -

Hire Beth !
I knew I liked Beth the moment I spoke to her on the phone. When I met Beth in person at the venue for a meeting I loved her. Beth was the perfect addition for our wedding. Without Beth it wouldn’t have gone so perfectly. Beth was personable, professional and so fun to be around. Everyone loved her. Beth helped to make the wedding weekend and wedding day so relaxing and enjoyable. We didn’t have to do one thing but be present in the moment. She was exactly what we were hoping for. Thank you Beth for everything!! -

We hired Elle to be our day of coordinator and we are so happy we did. There are so many little details to think about on your wedding day and it's so nice to have a professional working with you. I decided I needed someone to coordinate all the details for our outdoor ceremony and Elle handled it to perfection. I can't imagine putting it all together without her. She is so easy to talk to while taking the job seriously at the same time. Thank you Elle and Utano Events for helping me have the ceremony I envisioned. -

We were lucky to have Beth help us when we started planning all the way down to the Big Day! Beth just made everything better from vendor suggestions to final details she nailed it all. With practicality and fun in mind Beth nailed it all. That’s why Beth’s the BEST!! 10/10 recommend! I hope we will get to plan another event together at some point :) -

I cannot recommend Beth enough!
Stop what you are doing and hire Beth! She was the best thing that could have happened for our wedding. I hired Beth to help with 2 months of planning, day of coordination, AND she officiated our wedding. Beth is professional, supportive, detailed oriented, FUN, and totally team bride/groom. Our day went flawlessly because of Beth and her attention to detail, she asked me questions about details that I would have never thought of. We didn't have to lift a finger, just be present for our day and Beth (and Janelle) took care of the rest. My dress kept falling out of the bustle so Beth grabbed me and sewed me in and sent me right back to the dance floor, she also taught our Grandma how to do the wobble! Beth went above and beyond to assure our vision came to life and executed the day of flawlessly. She was the first one at our venue and the last one to leave. I cannot recommend Beth (and her team) enough. -

Rhiannon I. Sent on 08/13/2022Absolutely loved working with Beth!
Beth was absolutely amazing and made our wedding planning process so much less stressful. We leveraged her services for a couple months as we needed a lot of help with rentals and lived out of town. She handled all rentals, helped me with decor, worked with all of our vendors and helped me understand how the day would flow. She was so responsive and always there when I needed her advice or support. She’s great to work with and will make your wedding vision come true! -
