Bernadette (and team) were great. Very responsive and organized and made us feel confident that we had everything in place for the big day. My favorite part of working with her was how she had a personal relationship with all the other vendors (food, tables, photographers, DJ, etc.) on the island. In my opinion that was a big help although I’m sure things would have been great even if that was not the case. Above and beyond.

Bernadette and her team planned and executed our wedding at the Southernmost Resort in Key West on 4/11/26. I CANNOT RECOMMENDED BERNADETTE AND HER TEAM ENOUGH. From the first phone call with Bernadette, I knew we were in good hands. I live in MA, so it was awesome to have the knowledge and boots on the ground by Bernadette and her team. Bernadette helped us plan everything from DJ, photo booth, flowers and decor, seating chart, the whole nine yards. She gave us recommendations for places to have a welcome event and rehearsal dinner too!! We were picky on not having a tent out on the beach and Bernadette was able to plan an awesome plan for all the tables to remain in the shade without the tent. Our wedding was stunning and fit our vibe to a T. The wedding day coordination was fantastic as well. If you are looking for a planner that is detail oriented and extremely knowledgeable and a good eye for flowers/ decor, go with Bernadette and her team!!

I worked with Bernadette at Family Affair for just under a year planning my daughter's wedding. Being an event planner myself, it was hard to "give control" to someone else, but I'm so glad we chose her! From working with other vendors, to organizing, to seeing that everything was in place and as requested - she did it all. On the day of the wedding, we had one small issue with my daughter's bouquet, and Bernadette took care of it in 15 minutes. At the wedding and reception, her daughter and granddaughter were on site the entire time and took care of anything and everything needed flawlessly. I would highly recommend Family Affair for any event planning needs.

Bernadette went above and beyond in every possible way to make our wedding day completely seamless. From start to finish, she was calm, confident, and incredibly intentional, allowing us to truly be present and enjoy every moment of our day.
She has an unmatched ability to tell you exactly what you need, what you don’t, and to fill in every gap you didn’t even realize existed. Her guidance was invaluable — thoughtful, honest, and always in our best interest. Because of her, nothing felt overwhelming, stressful, or chaotic.
Bernadette and her team are truly a dream. They are organized, proactive, and deeply invested in making sure everything runs perfectly behind the scenes so you can stay calm and fully enjoy the experience. Her team matched her energy and excellence every step of the way.
If you want a planner who genuinely cares, who makes you feel supported, and who executes at the highest level, Bernadette is that person. We could not have imagined our day without her and will be grateful forever for everything she did to make it so special.

Bernadette & the team were absolutely amazing. Not only did they handle unforeseen curveballs, they did it with grace. I could not be more grateful for the help we received along the way. It was smooth and effortless on my end, and for that I am grateful as we live in NJ. Never needed to make flights, she was always just a phone call away and very responsive. Worth every single penny. THANK YOU! Made our day/weekend and memories unforgettable.

Family Affair did a spectacular job with my event. everything went smoothly and Bernadette went above and beyond to make sure everyone was well looked after. I highly recommend her.

"Bernadette, I just want to tell you the wedding was amazing! Everything went off perfectly we love the videographer, photographer DJ, hair makeup and of course Irisha!!

Bartenders servers were amazing. A cake and bouquets were beautiful and boutonnieres!

The facility was incredible. My whole family went on and on about wedding was in facility! "

The entire team was absolutely amazing through the entire process. We had never even been to Key West and were going in blind. They helped make our day the most beautiful and memorable day we could have ever asked for. Our onsite coordinator was FANTASTIC! We were so lucky and happy to have them that we took pictures with everybody to add to our scrapbook. I can’t say enough great things.

Bernadette and her staff were so very helpful to us especially since we were planning a wedding from Kentucky and had no idea of the venue, amenities, etc. They guided us through every step of the way, even helping us secure lodging for our guests within walking distance to the venue. I highly recommend them!

Our wedding day was smooth sailing thanks to the Family Affairs team! They brought my vision to life not only with decor, but also amazing venue recommendations. Planning a wedding gets expensive fast, but Bernadette helped us stay in budget while still delivering a high quality experience. She was sure to review every detail with me and make sure I was comfortable with all decisions for the day of. This was also a destination wedding for us, & to have someone that knows the area & wedding vendors so well was very helpful and a time saver! The day of Jena was my saving grace making sure everything was perfect for us and our guests, truly going above and beyond. Very thankful for this team! :)
