Dream come true

A Dream Come True Thanks to Carolyn!

From the moment we began planning our wedding, we knew we wanted someone who could not only understand our vision but elevate it beyond our wildest dreams. Carolyn our incredible wedding planner who turned our dream wedding into a breathtaking reality!

From our very first meeting, Carolyn exuded professionalism and warmth. She took the time to listen to our ideas, understand our personalities, and helped us articulate what we truly wanted for our special day. Her creativity and attention to detail were evident from the start, and we were immediately put at ease knowing we were in such capable hands.

Throughout the planning process, Carolyn was a constant source of support and inspiration. She provided us with a wealth of resources, vendor recommendations, and innovative ideas that we hadn't even considered. Her organizational skills are unmatched; she created a detailed timeline and kept us on track every step of the way, allowing us to truly enjoy the experience without feeling overwhelmed.

On the day of the wedding, Carolyn was nothing short of a miracle worker. She coordinated every detail seamlessly, from the setup to the final send-off, ensuring everything went off without a hitch. Her calm demeanour and problem-solving skills shone brightly, allowing us to be fully present and enjoy every moment of our celebration. It was like she could read my mind. Snacks, drinks and anything in between!

Our guests are still raving about how beautiful everything was, from the stunning floral arrangements to the perfectly executed timeline. It was clear that Carolyn’s hard work and dedication were infused into every aspect of our wedding.

If you’re looking for a wedding planner who is not only talented but also genuinely cares about making your day special, look no further than Carolyn. She is a true gem in the wedding industry, and we couldn’t have imagined our big day without her. Thank you, Carolyn, for making our wedding an unforgettable experience—we are forever grateful for all you have done.
All Our Best,
Jackie

Booking Fête Events was the best decision ever!

Hiring Carolyn from Fête Events was honestly the best decision I ever made for my wedding. We had an interfaith Muslim/Hindu Indian wedding and with that, can come with some complexities. She was able to handle day of coordination flawlessly (managing not one but TWO baraats and working with our siblings who weren't used to officiating for an interfaith ceremony) while also providing excellent design details with florals. Carolyn has such a kind, warm personality that can make anyone feel at ease. I also love the small touches like coming over to my hotel room with a bag of goodies to make me feel relaxed on my wedding morning (I was not expecting that at all but it was super nice to see her and her presence def put me at ease). After the wedding, both my sister-in-law and mom mentioned how great and professional Carolyn was at her job. (It's not just coming from me!) If I hadn't hired her, our wedding day would def not have flowed as smoothly and I am eternally grateful for her.

10 out of 10 !!!

"Fete Events is perfect for every bride! They will customize services depending on what you need, from full planning to day-of and everything in between. You’ll receive such dedicated, thoughtful and personal service and support. Carolyn was amazing from the start. We connected right away on the phone and she gave me examples of the day and it was so on point from the start. Carolyn and her team did such an incredible job. She shared ideas and we loved them. They added so much more to our wonderful wedding all because of her. They are worth every penny, if you want to have a stress-free and wonderful wedding day, pick her! Hands down... I had the most incredible wedding thanks to Fete Events. They are kind, so calm and refreshing, professional, and always 5-step ahead! 10/10!"
