About Us
Ryan
Ryan has been planning events on Long Island for nearly five years. After interning with several event planning and wedding consulting firms, Ryan became passionate about coordinating weddings. "There is nothing quite like the feeling I get at the end of an event when a bride and groom thank me for helping make their wedding day perfect!".
Ryan then began her own
company Above & Beyond Events. Although she was qualified to plan any
event, she wanted to focus her energy primarily on weddings. She opened her own
business, so she would be free of commissions and any other compromising
arrangements. She was determined to only serve the interests of her clients.
Ryan has
since coordinated hundreds of memorable weddings. From the spectacular to
the simple. Ryan has earned a reputation for being super organized and on
top of the smallest of details.
Leane
Leane has been with
Above & Beyond Events since it’s inception in 2006. However, her
interest in the world of weddings began with planning her own wedding several
years earlier. Leane specializes in Day of Coordination by combining her
passion for weddings with her professional experience as an events manager with
a non-profit organization. Along with her dedication to the details and
seamless organizational skills, she flawlessly executes and takes care of all
the loose ends so you don't have to worry.
In 2010, Leane
left her career in corporate America to pursue a full time career in Day of
Coordination. “I fell in love with the world of weddings. I am very
fortunate to be paid for doing what I love.” “My responsibility as the Day
of Coordinator is to take the direction you want to see, and for me to make it
happen. Your experience with day of coordination should make everything
easier, stress-free and enjoyable.”
Leane is someone
who can expertly guide and seamlessly orchestrate your special day. For
weddings, this means she will be available to ease the stress off the bride and
groom, family and friends, so that everyone can relax and enjoy the
celebration. “Whether it’s coordinating a wedding all day at a local
vineyard or helping the groom and his family for a few hours, the pleasure I
get from helping someone on their wedding day is un-measurable.”
