Customized Weddings Without the Cookie-Cutter Vibe
FROM BACKYARD CELEBRATIONS TO BALLROOM ELEGANCE
If you’re tired of seeing the same basic weddings all over your Pinterest feed, you’ve come to the right place. No cookie-cutter weddings here! We pride ourselves on creating events that are as unique as you and your partner. From intimate elopements to lavish celebrations at your dream venue, we’ll craft a wedding that reflects your personalities, your love, and your future together—no matter how unconventional or outside-the-box it may seem.
We’re not just event planners; we’re curators of your one-of-a-kind experience. And if what you need isn’t in our packages? No worries. We offer fully customizable services, ensuring that no two weddings are alike. Your day will be designed just for you—exactly as you’ve imagined it.
Wedding Planning That Stays True to You
WE GET IT. WEDDINGS ARE EMOTIONAL, AND THE PRESSURE TO PLEASE EVERYONE—FRIENDS, FAMILY, AND ANYONE WITH AN OPINION—CAN QUICKLY TAKE OVER. THAT’S WHY WE’RE HERE TO MAKE SURE YOUR WEDDING DAY STAYS TRUE TO YOU.
It’s your love story, and we’ll help you tell it your way, even if that means navigating difficult conversations with well-meaning loved ones. Whether it’s curating an intimate, personal ceremony or saying no to a family tradition that doesn’t fit your vision, we’re your champions. We’ll stand by your side to ensure that every detail reflects your unique bond and love story, not someone else’s dream wedding. You don’t have to be the bad guy—we’re happy to step in and communicate your wishes, keeping your day as special and stress-free as possible.

What Our Lovebirds Have Said

"For our wedding, Bobby and I had a vision which evolved into the most stunning wedding ceremony our guests had ever seen."
Our journey with Barb and Alyssa began way back in January 2023 when my beloved husband hired this amazing duo to stage his beautiful wedding proposal for me. He had a very clear vision and they carried it through to perfection. Even now when I see pictures I can’t believe every tiny detail they put together to make one of the greatest events of my life so spectacular and memorable. For our wedding, Bobby and I had a vision which evolved into the most stunning wedding ceremony our guests had ever seen. Barb and Alyssa are two beautifully talented souls who sit with you, listen intently to every idea and vision you have and go above and beyond to provide their expertise, experience, ideas to completion. They are sweet, genuine and loving and their greatest joy comes from making your dreams become a reality. Barb and Alyssa were in constant contact with us no matter how many times we might change something or ask the same question again, they were always pleasant and patient and always had smiles on their pretty faces. As a result of all the hours spent together, Bobby and I consider Barb and Alyssa part of our family and love them both very much. We pray God continues to bless them and watch over them as they move forward with their visions and desires to create lasting memories for years to come.

"They had the best ideas and everything looked so beautiful."
We hired Homemade Events to plan our wedding and it was beyond perfect. The best decision we made by far. Planning a wedding is such a hard & time consuming thing to do and they did everything for us! They had the best ideas and everything looked so beautiful. They stayed in constant communication with us and handled all of our vendors and decor as well as setting up, taking down and day of coordination. I highly recommend anyone to hire them for any events they are thinking of planning. They truly love what they do and put so much care and thought into everything. They are genuinely amazing kind people! I honestly can say we couldn't have done it without them!

Its never to early to start but for the optimal experience, we recommend the following timelines...

-
We do it all! Our wedding booklet (we can send this to you!) goes into more detail about our offerings. We pride ourselves on customizing packages for the needs of each client. No two couples are the same, therefore, no two weddings should be the same either!
-
As certified event magicians, of course, we can work on a budget! We are able to make magic with nearly any budget.
-
We officially began our journey as wedding planners in 2012 while bringing Barb’s dream wedding to life. Since then, we’ve curated countless unforgettable celebrations, including over a dozen weddings (and counting), each tailored to reflect the unique love stories of our couples. With years of experience and a passion for creating core memories, we’re here to make your big day everything you’ve envisioned—and much more. They don’t call us event magicians for nothing.
-
Hell yeah! You ain't about to catch me out in these streets without insurance!
-
We share a customizable process checklist and budget spreadsheet that keeps track of all expenses so clients can see where we are in the planning process as well as budget at all times. We also stay in constant communication and are always available via email/text for our wedding couples.
-
We require a signed contract and an agreed-upon payment plan. Because weddings cost more than most other types of events, we allow payments to be divided monthly, with the final payment due one month before the wedding date.
-
With us you get a one stop shop. We have an amazing team of vendors that help us create the most magical wedding days. Our list is comprised of the most kind & skilled businesses in Rochester (mostly women-owned, sorry, not sorry). We not only know what it takes to pull off a wedding, but WHO its takes, so while we have our favs list that doesn't mean we are not open to working with other vendors. We are really good at making new friends, too!
-
One of the many perks of hiring a duo like us is that you’ll always have a seasoned planner in your corner! While we’ve never had to split up on a wedding day before, rest assured that if the unexpected happens, one of us will be there to ensure every detail goes off without a hitch. Plus, we’ve built strong relationships with other trusted wedding planners in the area. In the highly unlikely event that we’re both unavailable, we have a network of experienced professionals ready to step in and prioritize your wedding day experience. Your celebration is always our top priority!
-
Heck yes we can! As your day of coordinator, we are here to make sure all your hard work pays off! That means vendor coordination, setting up and breaking down decor, keeping us on the timeline and being the first point of contact so you, your friends and family can all enjoy celebrating this next chapter flawlessly!
-
We absolutely can! Designing custom invitations, managing spreadsheets and alleviating stress from our couple is our jam! Again, we can do as much or as little as you'd like!
