Rita Ellis Events

Four tiers, including the two month step-in

Full Planning covers the whole arc. Partial Planning is for couples whose venue, budget and vendors are already set. Day-of Coordination is the lightest touch. The fourth, 2-Month Management, has the planner take over two months before the wedding, which gives a few more weeks than a month-of arrangement for vendor confirmations and timeline building. The site does not print hours, staffing or what separates 2-Month from Partial in scope.

Aquebogue and RGNY on the resume

The portfolio shows the Vineyards at Aquebogue and RGNY on the North Fork, and vineyard weddings are a named specialty. The service area is the North and South Forks, with events elsewhere by discussion. The owner's master's degree in hospitality from Johnson & Wales is stated on the site. Beyond the wedding, the company handles proposals, showers, rehearsal dinners, welcome parties and post-wedding brunches.

No fee on either page we read

No fee appears on the services page or the homepage. A vineyard wedding on the East End with a weekend of events around it is the stated sweet spot. The 2-Month tier is the option to price if you have booked your vendors but want a professional to close out the timeline. A couple marrying in Nassau will need to ask whether the Forks-only footprint bends, and what it costs if it does.
