Excellent! A Day Saver!

Carmen was amazing!! She literally was saving the day left and right. We had our wedding at the Hotel Maya, and we used the included day of coordinator package. Carmen utilized her time so well and made sure that every detail went smoothly. She helped us with everything from putting on the boutonnières to helping bustle my dress.

I HIGHLY recommend all brides to hire Carmen (Day-of coordinator)

My husband and I can't thank Carmen and her team enough for helping to make our wedding rehearsal and wedding day perfect! Carmen helped to keep us organized with preparation and the day of in every detail. I HIGHLY recommend all brides to hire a day-of coordinator. It made the day so much more enjoyable, and reduced my stress levels. It's worth every penny! We had several vendors... Venue logistics, florist, bagpiper, Mariachi, Church, photographer, phot booth and cake baker, etc. Not only did her team execute, they went above and beyond our expectations! All of our friends and family have told us it was of the best weddings they have ever attended. Thank you Carmen for creating amazing memories that we will always cherish!

Carmen is amazing!

Carmen made everything go incredibly smoothly and helped up us beginning to end. I cannot imagine what our wedding would have been without her. I only wish she could help plan my every day life too.

Carmen is AWESOME!!!

We could not have been able to execute our wedding without her. She was always one step ahead of us and kept the day flowing according to our timeline, but Aram and I always felt present for the moments throughout the day. We never felt rushed and we contribute that to Carmen who always stayed calm and friendly, and was both very flexible and firm in working with our vendors. She always made sure to check in with either Aram and I, and it was so sweet of her to bring us hors d’oeuvres and a bottle of champagne during our quiet time while our guests enjoyed cocktail hour. She stayed with us until the end and brought all of our miscellaneous items to our wedding suite so we didn’t have to think about it and was able to truly enjoy open dance floor with our family and friends. We highly recommend Carmen for your wedding and event needs!!!!

Anyone debating Expressionary Events, hope this helps. Carmen made my day 100% stress free, everything we planned together went better than I had expected! She was responsive, timely, friendly, professional yet personal and extremely experienced she thought through everything and made sure no detail as missed. We didn't feel rushed or like we had to stick to a timeline but still didn't miss any activities. She made sure all deco was how we discussed and all our personal items we brought or recieved were boxed up and in our room we didn't even have to remember anything just enjoy the day! #morethanworthit

I have just emailed Carmen Fuentes the below : I wanted to send a quick email to THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for all your hard work on my wedding day.

I can say with confidence it would NOT have been as smooth and successful without you.

You always put my mind at ease and your calm and confident nature always gave me a quite confidence that I was in good hands.

You are VERY good at what you do and should be proud.

I am happy to leave a review with your manger or online if it helps you in any way.

Thank you again for helping make all my dreams come true.

Carmen was our Day-Of Wedding Coordinator and she was AMAZING! She came recommended by our venue and it's easy to see why. Ours was an Indian wedding and we wanted to a coordinator who was familiar with all the cultural traditions. Carmen knew *everything*! She understood all the nuances of the ceremonies and kept everything running smoothly and on time all day and night, which is not an easy feat for an Indian wedding! She also did little things for my husband and me throughout the day that really made us feel taken care of. The next day, we received tons of compliments from various family members who had interacted with her throughout the day. I highly highly recommend her!
