Social Maven - Buffalo, New York

Rachael Hoellig

We worked with Syrie and the Social Maven team for our wedding this September and could not be more grateful for the time, care, and thought they put into our event. We worked closely with Syrie for a year and half to plan our wedding in my parents’ backyard. Syrie and her in team, in conjunction with our incredible vendors (all recommendations of Syrie’s) turned our backyard into a stunning and intimate venue for a wedding. We were fully present and able to spend time with our loved ones and each other on the day, all thanks to Syrie. Despite a very rainy morning, Syrie’s team made a beautiful outdoor evening ceremony and cocktail hour possible. Syrie always advocated for us throughout the process, and prioritized the comfort and enjoyment of our guests as well (which was very important to us).

The planning process was largely stress-free, enjoyable, and our wedding was even better than we could have imagined. Rest assured that Syrie, her team, and the vendors she recommends will make your event memorable, personable, and beautiful down to every last detail.

THANK YOU Syrie and the Social Maven team.

Hiring Syrie and her team at social maven was the best decision of our wedding planning process! After watching her execute a wedding for my best friend in June of 2021, the first thing I did when I got engaged was reach out to Syrie. Our venue had an onsite coordinator (who was wonderful), but Syrie brought an added level of organization and attention to detail which allowed for the planning process to be as fun and stress free for myself and my fiancé. Syrie was always prompt and thorough in her responses on email and during meetings. On the day of, Syrie took care of everything and made sure the day flowed as smoothly as possible. Syrie and her team are wonderful and worth every dollar - she is the closest you can come to buying peace of mind during the wedding planning process.

Syrie was one of the best decisions we made during wedding planning! We used Syrie for partial planning & design for our two day multicultural wedding celebration and she was truly amazing. From the first phone call, we connected immediately and I was so impressed with her ability to connect, transparency, and helpfulness before we had even decided to hire her. Once we made the decision to work with Syrie, she sent over a super organized timeline and portal that kept my Type-A self really at ease since I knew that everything had be thought of. Syrie had amazing vendor referrals and created the whole design for both nights of our wedding, and we could not have been happier! Syrie clearly has incredible relationships with vendors, is really organized, and has an awesome team supporting her. She listened to all of our questions, needs, and wants, and made sure that our celebration was above and beyond. The weekend of, she was everywhere at once and her and her team were so helpful to fix any problem that comes up. We could not imagine planning our wedding without Syrie and are so grateful for her work ethic, creativity, and friendship! We highly recommend Syrie to anyone planning a wedding in the Buffalo area or beyond!

My wife and I hired Syrie Roman as our wedding planners for the big day. Syrie is nothing short of a power house. She is in your corner 100%. Without Syrie, quite honestly our wedding may have never happened. Or at the very least looked the way it did. She was incredibly helpful and resourceful during the whole wedding process. The day off, everything was ran beautifully. Never once did I feel like things fell off the rails or didn’t go according to plan. The Social Maven, including Syrie and her whole team, are an invaluable asset to ANY wedding. I wholeheartedly recommend The Social Maven to anyone for their wedding planning and wedding day.

My partner and I began our journey with Syrie as our wedding planner back in the fall of 2020, and we can honestly say it was one of the best decisions we've ever made. We started with a selected venue but little else. Syrie, with her organized approach and expertise, transformed our vague ideas into a stunning wedding reality. She took our abstract descriptions and envisioned a day that was far beyond what we thought we wanted – it was what we dreamed of.

Despite our extended planning cycle, Syrie was a constant presence, always checking in to ensure that our preparations were on track. As a couple living in New York City, we appreciated having local "boots on the ground" throughout the planning process. Her deep connections within the Buffalo wedding industry became priceless when our original our venue, Hotel Henry, unexpectedly shut down. Syrie saw the writing on the wall weeks before their fall and organized tours of alternative venues – a task outside our agreed-upon package. We ended up choosing The Admiral Room, a venue we hadn't initially considered, but it turned out to be a gem. Its grandeur resonated with us perfectly – yet another testament to Syrie's understanding of our tastes and preferences.

Syrie's expertise also shone when it came to vendor selection. She provided a plethora of options for each service, letting us evaluate different styles and approaches. Each vendor we chose delivered impeccable service, with a special shout-out to Tori Vee who created an extraordinary musical ambiance.

Syrie is an impressive organizational powerhouse. Having her as our planner allowed us to focus on savoring every moment of our special day. Her efficient staff resolved a minor hiccup with a vendor within half an hour – we barely noticed it had happened.

Our experience with Syrie was nothing short of magnificent. She guided us through a daunting process with grace, expertise, and foresight. Syrie not only saved us from potential disaster but helped create a day that was even more beautiful than we could have imagined. We enthusiastically recommend Syrie.

Syrie and her team are the absolute best and helped to make our wedding perfect! She worked with us from day 1, came up with detailed plans and timelines, and checked in throughout the process. She found us the best photographers, DJ, and other vendors to make everything come together. We had zero stress on our wedding day because we knew Syrie was working behind the scenes and she took care of every little detail. We cannot recommend her enough, she was integral to making this the best day ever!!!

Syrie and her team were absolutely AMAZING. I knew I wanted to work with them after our very first meeting because they shared in our vision for our wedding. Syrie is so knowledgeable about the industry and gave great vendor suggestions that always aligned with what we were looking for and helped us make the best decisions for our special day.

Syrie helped advocate for what we wanted at our venue in terms of decor, timeline, and logistics. She is so passionate about what she does and wants the best for her clients. Her and her team coordinated amazingly well with our vendors and with our venue the entire time. They always put us first as a couple throughout the planning process as well as on the day of our wedding. For that we can never thank them enough!

Syrie and her team were so fun to work with and are extremely knowledgeable. They will ensure that your vision is executed perfectly and that your event runs smoothly. After our wedding, all we kept saying is "I am so glad that we had Social Maven. They were lifesavers." Social Maven will be the biggest asset to any event that you are planning! I highly recommend Syrie and her team and will forever be grateful for their help on our special day!

Syrie is your greatest asset while you plan your wedding! I know this because she was mine.

I am an event planner myself and was considering planning my wedding myself. Let me just say THANK GOD I let Syrie take the reigns. It made my day so relaxing and full of stress free joy!

From the very beginning of our planning process, she was positive, reinforcing, and an advocate. She also connected us to vendors who we would have had trouble booking without her due to the post covid wedding market. In short, Syrie provided us with all the building blocks for our dream wedding.

Day of, her team was just as incredible. They made our wedding party so comfortable and took 100% of the logistical burden off our family’s shoulders. Our Wedding felt seamless, and let's be honest… no wedding is seamless. Later I heard about all the behind-the-scenes troubles that Syrie’s team handled without involving me at all.

Syrie & Social Maven were the absolute best investment and I will recommend her team to every future bride!
