Wonderful Coordinator

We recently had our wedding last weekend and I would like to express such gratitude to Betty. She was extremely helpful and supportive throughout the planning process, despite my lack of communication. She is a breath of fresh air, willing to take on more than what was asked and executing it to perfection. I knew I could trust her the moment she told me she was there to relieve some stress off me, and I am glad I met her. HIRE AB EFFECTS!! You won’t regret it.

Better than I ever imagined!

I’ll be completely honest. At first, I had a lot of doubts about how this wedding would come together. I worried about the venue, the number of guests, the food, everything. But my wife truly blew me away. I genuinely regret ever questioning her because it turned out better than I could have imagined. There was more than enough food, plenty of space for everyone, and the entire day was filled with love and good vibes.

Anyone who knows me knows I’m pretty introverted, but this experience made me want to get married all over again just to relive a day like that. Bottom line: book her. You won’t be disappointed.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
