Attentive and seamless

I am so glad we chose to work with Francesca and her team! Francesca has wealth of knowledge and made our day run smoothly. When Francesca arrived on the morning of our wedding she was ready to help us with anything we needed! She created a timeline that allowed us to relax and take in each moment of our special day. She was ready to tackle anything and to my knowledge everything went according to plan. Francesca works with our venue often so had great suggestions for anything we needed. Francesca and her team were able to assist both me and my husband throughout they day. Thank you for everything you did to create a stress free day!
With love,
Olivia and Adam

The vendor you don't think you need but do…

I’m going to get right to it. I was extremely skeptical at first when my now wife informed me that she wanted to hire Dazzling Affairs as a “day of” wedding coordinator. I didn’t understand the services that would be provided or how it would benefit us. I ultimately succumbed and we retained Dazzling Affairs (you know the saying – ‘happy wife, happy life’).

Fast forward to our wedding day and Francesca and her team were beyond impressive. They were attentive, flexible, helpful, and, due to their experience, were aware of all the little things that helped make our day go as smoothly as possible, whether it be holding cellphones for the bridal party while taking photos, providing fabric tape for last minute wardrobe fixes, or continuously monitoring the weather to make sure that our outdoor ceremony could proceed as planned.

Even the maître d’ at our venue mentioned to us that Francesca was the best coordinator he had ever worked with. Francesca was also involved prior to the wedding day and helped coordinate our vendors. She also prepared a proposed timeline for the day. Dazzling affairs is the vendor I didn’t think we needed but am so glad we had. They far exceeded expectations. 11/10, would recommend.

I have had the opportunity to work with Dazzling Affairs on numerous occasions. Every detail is on point and they are true pros in every sense of the word.

I have worked with many events with Dazzling Affairs, over the past several years, and Francesca stands head and shoulders over most, not only in demonstrated initiative, intelligence, and creativity but also in her ability to function as a productive member of a team. Her intellect is matched by her ability to communicate clearly and to project an open, friendly persona to others regardless of their, level of expertise.
