Reed Cohen Papers & Events

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Reed Cohen Papers. These ladies are complete pros. Nancy and Bunny made the process of choosing our save the dates and invitations actually a fun one. They also provided crucial input when it came to proper etiquette and language for the paper items.
Nancy was respectful of my budget and helped me find both a save the date and invitation package that I loved (as did our guests — many of whom keep sending notes about our invitations!).
There some things you can buy online for your wedding, but for the paper goods it’s certainly worth going to the experts in person! Nancy spent a ton of time helping me mix and match elements of various invitations until we found the magic mix.
These ladies are also just wonderful, fun, patient, and kind people. A pleasure to deal with. I’ll be back for sure and I’ll be sending my friends and family as well!

We cannot say enough about Nancy, Louann, and Bunny! Everyone is raving about our wedding invitations. They sit down with you and take the time to perfectly customize your invitation and respect your budget to create a beautiful product. They consistently answered our questions and were patient enough to address any edits that we wanted to look at. Also I have to say they all have great personalities! We had so much fun working with them and they took time to get to know us. I would absolutely, 100%, recommend them to anyone. They are very professional, talented and creative. We wish them the best. Thank you for making this part of our wedding planning so easy and fun.

Dear Unilocal Readers,
I can not say enough about how extraordinary my invitations that I ordered with Nancy of Reed Cohen came out. Both Nancy and Luann are two of the most patient lovely people to deal with. Although they are very high end they worked within my budget and delivered a product that was nicer than I could ever imagine on time and executed my vision perfectly. I had many proofs and Nancy never lost her patience and really cared about the invitations being perfect. They also were extremely honest and delivered my invitations expeditiously down to the day that they were promised to me. I am a very hard person to please and I can not get over what an amazing experience it was to deal with Nancy from Reed Cohen. I would give them 10 stars if I could! I highly recommend this company.

These wonderful ladies made my bat mitzvah a night I will never forget. I can’t thank my parents enough for finding the perfect party planners. Everything from the invitation to the games at cocktail hour were perfect. I loved their creative side as well as their kind and loving nature. I still keep in contact with Nancy and she will remain a family friend forever. I look forward to seeing what she has planned for my sister’sbat mitzvah. She did a great job on mine and my two brothers.

I am in the midst of planning my 4^th– yes 4^th!!! bnai mitzvah with Nancy and Louanne. Each experience has been great: these women are bright, hard working, and honest. Because of their many years of experience, they are familiar with many different vendors and venues. One of my simchas was held in the city, but when i wanted to celebrate the others in the country, Nancy and Lounne were more than up for the challenge. They helped me and each of my children articulate our dreams and then made sure that everything was exactly as we planned. When there was a glitch in the kitchen douring the second bar mitzvah, Nancy and Louanne came to the rescue. They made sure that the band kept playing and guests kept dancing, and no one was the wiser– disaster averted.
Planning a party can be stressful and incredibly time consuming. These women were able to help us manage the stress– and they genuinely cared about our chidren and their happipness as well. They were careful to always keep our budget in mind, and never «tempted» our children with something that we might not want, withut checking with us first. Nancy and Louanne can deal with anything you can throw at them– difficult mother in law, hormonal teenager, apathetic teenager, sleepy younger sibling, you name it and they have it covered. They respond to emails and phone calls within a matter of minutes and never complain.
Reed Cohen is amazing– I’m sorry we won’t have another bnai mitzvah to plan together but I can’t wait to use them for some weddings sometime soon.

Planning a wedding with my daughter and son-​in-​law this past year was one of the most wonderful «events» of my life and theirs. It goes a long way to incorporate the overwhelming amount of work with a professional team of events planners. The Reed Cohen team of 2 women with many, many years of experience, handled our once in a lifetime destination wedding with creativity, grace and 100% complete attention to details.
I’m absolutely sure we could not have found a better team to help us coordinate the entire weekend. Before we had even determined the actual venue, Nancy Cohen provided a list of options, with a sensitivity to our budget and an quick read of the bride/groom’s style. Any moments of uncertainty by the bride were addressed by the team of Reed Cohen patiently, and they were always completely open to our opinions and concerns. As the wedding approached, the Reed Cohen team were available ²⁴⁄₇ with a mutual goal of making this weekend the most memorable and every detail was well planned and executed.
It was truly a FLAWLESS AND FULFILLING weekend. Start to finish, including a few difficult family challenges, they guided us, provided a depth of knowledge and experience, and allowed my daughter to focus on the best part of planning a wedding while leaving the endless details to the Reed Cohen team.
Professional and competent with a sensitivity to planning a completely unique event for each client. Amazing !!

What a truly wonderful duo! For anyone who has seen 27 Dresses, well that’s me. I have been in the bridal party at more than my share of weddings and therefore, I have met my share of wedding planners. And part of bridesmaid duty is listening to the bride vent so I have heard the cripes and complaints about their wedding planners and what went wrong.
I was recently the maid of honor for my dearest friend in NYC. She doesn’t have a lot of family so I was fortunate to be able to play a big role in helping her plan her dream day. I happened to be visiting when she had a meeting with Louann and Nancy of Reed Cohen Papers and Events. My friend told me she loved her party planners and it was clear to see why. They were amazing; their attention to detail and organizational skills were great. They were kind and thoughtful, seemed very respectful of her budget and really knowledgable about all the vendors and venues in the area.
Wedding planning can be so stressful but these two just seemed to have such a command on the planning and most of all, they were so fun and creative. I got to know them pretty well from the meetings I attended with my friend and phone calls I helped out with. The wedding was absolutely perfect, she couldn’t have asked for a more lovely day. The invitations were beautiful and I was super impressed with their detailed timing script for every detail (large and small) that happened over the entire wedding weekend. Most of all, they made my friend feel like she was their most important client and no concern was too silly to raise. I just recommended them to another friend who got engaged and I would really love if they would expand into the DC market one day when it is my turn.

If I could give this «company» zero stars, I would.
Although I did not hire these two women, I did have to deal with one of them as I was a vendor in a particular situation.
I had the displeasure of working with Louann Reed, one of the owners, who is disrespectful, derogatory, and lacks complete tact. She has unprofessional demeanor and is outright abusive on the telephone and on her repetitious voicemails.
If you consider using this company, I would think again. If you are fine with this woman treating your vendors like dirt, then hire them. If you have dignity and respect for others and want your event planner to be a reflection of you and your event, do not hire them! I would be absolutely mortified if my event planner, such as Louann, spoke to my vendors the way she does.
I wish I could upload the harassing and abusive voicemails left by Louann on Unilocal!
I hopefully never have to meet either of these women in person.
Avoid avoid avoid!!!
