We can’t recommend Julie Riley and the Something Bleu team enough! We selected the partial planning package for our September 2025 wedding in Newport, Rhode Island, and from start to finish, Julie exceeded every expectation. During the planning process, Julie was instrumental in helping us bring our vision to life - from creating a stunning mood board to connecting us with her incredible network of trusted vendors. She is detail-oriented, responsive, and exceptionally organized - not a single email, question, or detail ever slipped through the cracks. Julie managed our vendor team, coordinated meetings, kept us on track with deadlines, and curated a comprehensive timeline that ensured everyone was perfectly aligned. Planning with her was truly fun, easy, and seamless - I don’t know how we could have done it without her! On our wedding day, Julie and her assistant were absolute rockstars. They handled every detail flawlessly, making the day completely stress-free for us and our families. Julie’s calm, reassuring presence helped me manage pre-wedding jitters, and her ability to gracefully handle last-minute pivots ensured everything went off without a hitch. Thanks to Julie, we were able to be fully present and enjoy every moment of our wedding day. She made our wedding more beautiful and memorable than we ever could have imagined. We are beyond grateful and truly cannot recommend Julie Riley and Something Bleu highly enough!

We couldn’t have imagined our wedding without Julie Riley as our planner who made sure our weekend went exactly as planned! She had great relationships with the vendors, which made choosing them a very easy process. Julie was also very cognizant of our budget and ensured that our cost stayed within our allotted range. She provided thoughtful and timely feedback when there were certain elements we considered adding to our wedding. We were also very impressed with how responsive Julie was considering the additional weddings she was planning and we never felt like she wasn’t prioritizing us. On the day of our actual wedding, Julie and her assistant were on top of everything allowing us to enjoy the day stress-free! Our recommendation comes with high regards and we couldn’t be happier with how our wedding turned out!

We are so excited to promote Something Bleu and Julie Riley, as having her throughout the wedding planning process was the best decision we made. From day one, Julie knew exactly what to plan and how to execute it to make our wedding day go so seamlessly. Her thoughtfulness was evident through the entire process, getting to know us as a couple on a personal level and knowing our likes and dislikes that played into the final product on our wedding day. Having her available to us on the actual wedding day made the whole process come to life, as we felt relaxed as we could be knowing that she planned and handled anything that came our way! We cannot recommend Something Bleu and Julie enough. Julie, thank you for everything and for making our wedding day the most magical and unforgettable day of our lives!

Julie and the Something Bleu team exceeded every expectation—our wedding was absolutely perfect! From day one, Julie anticipated every detail long before we even thought to ask, and I never once felt overwhelmed or stressed. She orchestrated every moving part flawlessly and guided us through all the key decisions with patience and expertise. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found her. Julie truly is the best, and we can’t wait to work with Something Bleu again for our next big celebration. Highly recommend working with Julie!

We had the pleasure of working with Julie for our wedding this past May. We went with the Full Service Planning and Design package for our private estate wedding on Cape Cod. When we reached out to Julie in the fall of 2024 for a May 2025 wedding, we only had a faint idea of what we envisioned. Julie helped us build our day from the bottom up and it was truly a perfect day. From our first meeting with her, it was obvious that Julie has an incredibly personalized, organized approach to wedding planning. She began by understanding what we wanted our wedding day to look like and what our budget was. From there she outlined options for vendors (photographers, caterers, DJs, bridal stores and tux shops). She handled almost all of the communication with our tent and catering service, attending our tasting and decor meetings, and helped us facilitate communication with our photographer, florist, and DJ. It was very helpful that Julie was knowledgeable on local vendors having worked with many of them in the past, and she gave us great recommendations based on our budget. The months leading up to the wedding, Julie met with us regularly over zoom to check in, review logistics, and link us with vendors. She provided us a custom timeline checklist of monthly to-do’s and due dates. She was always accessible to us if we had any questions. She is on top of her emails, quick to respond, and not a single detail slips by her. As the day got closer, Julie provided us a two month out logistics timeline that provided structure and helped ease a lot of anxiety. With her outstanding communication and interpersonal skills, Julie was the “point person” and the glue holding together all the vendors on our wedding day. She was on her feet the entire time, addressing any issues that arose, or finding something to do, whether it was setting up the card box and table numbers, smoothing out the linens on the tables, directing guests when they arrived, or gathering groups for formal photos. She even helped me bustle my dress. While juggling a myriad of other things, Julie’s attention never left the bride and groom. She provided much needed words of encouragement and was regularly checking in to see if we needed anything. Julie made it her priority that we did not have to worry about a thing. Thanks to her, we were able to relax and enjoy every moment. In summary, Julie exceeded all of our expectations- she is beyond talented and hard working. What truly distinguishes her in this business is her warmth and compassion. It was clear that her goal was not to check boxes off a list, she really wanted to ensure we had an amazing day. Our wedding would not have been the day it was without Julie. Choosing Something Bleu as our wedding planning service was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding day. I wish that I could give her one thousand stars. On a personal level it was so nice getting to know her and I honestly will miss our meetings! She is so passionate about what she does, and she truly is the best of the best. We cannot recommend her enough!
