A Wonderful Experience!

I contacted Fierce to help me plan a happily ever after party to celebrate with friends and family after we eloped during COVID. Many of the the party planning companies I'd talked to seemed confused or uncomfortable with this slightly unconventional request - but not Fierce! They had great ideas, great advice and went out of their way to find vendors, decor and ideas that exactly matched our vision. Olivia and Laura were on top of all the timing and details throughout the process and always available and helpful. The party went off without a flaw or worry. What a great experience!

Professional, organized, and creative wedding planners

Our wedding day was so much fun, and we are so grateful to Laura and Olivia for making it possible!

When we got engaged, we knew some of the things we wanted to be a part of our wedding, and some of the things we didn’t — but we had no idea how to put it all together. We also knew that we wanted to have the kind of wedding that requires a lot of preparation, but that we didn’t want have wedding planning become second jobs for us. We tried out a couple wedding planners, and eventually we sat down with Laura. She methodically worked with us on how to turn all the things we like and care about and that unite as a couple into a wonderful and perfect wedding — and helped us organize it all into manageable chunks with a clear timeline.

We started our wedding planning with Laura and Olivia, and eventually when Laura went on maternity leave we stayed with Olivia for the rest of our journey. Each had their own personal touches and ways of working, but both were incredibly professional, helpful, and organized. We often showed up to meetings knowing the general vibes that we wanted, not necessarily specifics or even how to express those “vibes”, and Laura and Olivia turned those into concrete vendors, choices, and timelines. In the end, we made it through planning without it ever feeling like a second job, and we were in a great position to enjoy the most perfect wedding we could imagine: a big party with all our favorite people, and all our favorite things, celebrating what we love most about each other.

More on the big day: Olivia and team managed the day exceptionally well. Everything was in place without us ever having to worry about a single thing. The day was fun and light, from getting dressed and having photos taken all over the city, all the way through the end of the night. Throughout the day, we kept getting asked how we found our amazing venue, caterers, photographer, DJ, florist… the list goes on. Each and every one of them was recommended by Laura. She did a great job of recommending a few vendors that she knew and trusted that fit with our vision for our wedding day, and each one of them did a phenomenal job. Our food was delicious, our music was a hit, and the decorations were beautiful, and we weren’t worried at all on the day. Days and weeks after the wedding, we’re still a little shocked: we knew this would be a party with our favorite people and favorite things, but even we didn’t expect the end result to be so much fun.

The best decision we made

It's hard to put to words how much we appreciate Laura and the Fierce team, so we'll just share the text we sent Laura the day after our wedding:

"Laura, it feels like the most common piece of advice people give about weddings is that, 'something will go wrong, just expect that'. However, you delivered a perfect wedding. We wouldn’t have changed a single thing. What you accomplished was absolutely extraordinary. Complete magic. We thought we knew exactly what to expect, but it was so much more than we dreamed of. We are so proud of what we created with you. It left guests feeling so grateful to have experienced something so unique and loving. They’re saying it was the coolest experience and best party they’ve ever been to."

A few other highlights of working with Laura and the Fierce Team:
- She doesn't just see it as her job to plan the wedding; she sees it as her job to allow you to be present during the big day. Many say "it all went so fast," when remembering their wedding, but it didn't feel like that for us because Laura made sure we could be present.
- She respected our vision like it was her own and protected every piece of it.
- By the time the wedding arrived, she was our friend--not a vendor. And that made the experience that day even cooler. Imagine having your friend send you down the aisle...rather than someone your hired.

We would hire Fierce a million times over.

Thank you Fierce Productions

We are so grateful for Fierce Productions. Fierce Productions not only made our day feel like an absolute breeze, but they were always there supporting us from the very beginning. When Mike and I first inquired, we had no idea what we wanted to do for our wedding. The only thing we knew was we wanted it to be a perfect blend of us—whatever that meant. And Fierce Productions brought it to life! Laura guided us through all the big and minor details. She toured venues with us, tasted meals with us, guided us through our budget, and used her brilliant, creative brain to design a gorgeous wedding filled with a blend of romance, color, and sparkle. We even had Fierce Member, Allison, design our day of stationary! Once design and vendor bookings were complete, we had Fierce Member, Olivia, take over as lead. She made sure we were completing tasks on our checklist, coordinating with vendors, finalizing payments, and making sure all the small details were taken care of. On the day we had Olivia, Martina, and Kerrie taking care of us,

Caribbean Festival Wedding in Miami

We hired Laura for our Miami reception at the Ancient Spanish Monastery. We wanted to bring colorful Caribbean fun to the oldest building on the East Coast, and Laura helped us bring that vision to life. I am an extremely picky, high maintenance control freak, but due to both of our demanding work schedules, we knew we couldn't coordinate the reception on our own. We are glad we chose Laura to help us.

She did a great job with executing our vision, dealing with our difficult schedules, and making last minute requests work (we originally weren't going to do flowers, but decided about a month out that we wanted tropical arrangements and she found an INCREDIBLE florist!).

You can tell she has a background in theater, which we loved, because she helped us find amazing entertainment that made our party so memorable. We've had so many people tell us it was the best wedding they've ever been to, and they are still talking about it 5 months later when I'm finally getting around to writing this review.

We planned our whole destination ceremony, so it felt really scary to give the reins to someone else for our Miami reception, but we are so glad we hired Laura. We love that our day was so stress free. She helped us hire staff, plus her and her husband did so much on the day of, so all we had to do was show up. If you want a colorful wedding with memorable entertainment and great design, Laura is your person!

Hire them!

Finding the words to express our gratitude and everything that fierce did for us, has been the only difficult part of working with them. We used fierce for design and coordination for our wedding and it was the most incredible experience. They are reliable, great communicators, organized, timely, and authentic! Hire them.

Laura did our design and WOW! She understood our vision and exploded it into life. She is honest, straight forward, kind, patient and professional. She was honest and upfront about pricing, stayed in our budget and thought outside of the box. We trusted her and she delivered everything we wanted and more! People are still raving about the disco balls and black goblets.

Hannah was our coordinator and we were obsessed with her from day 1. She held our hand through the whole process and we trusted her whole heartedly. We had no clue there were any bumps the whole day, she just handled them behind the scenes. She thought of everything and executed our plan without a hitch! We genuinely loved her!

Fierce Did A Fantastic Job With Our Wedding

Fierce Productions, particularly our wedding coordinator Hannah, did an absolutely amazing job. They were with us every step of the way, always available whenever we had questions/concerns, they made sure every detail of our wedding was covered and did not fall through the cracks and did an excellent job keeping all of our vendors coordinated. Most importantly they were very comfortable and easy to work with. Could not recommend more highly.

Amazing Team!

My partner and I were not originally planning on hiring a coordinator for our wedding, but it was clear from our initial meeting with Laura the value, insights, energy, and support the Fierce team would bring to our event. They did not disappoint! Coordinator Hannah was an absolute joy to work with. She kept us organized, on track, smiling, and dedicated to our personal vision in the months leading up to our event. On our wedding day, Hannah was there for us with a fabulous team (shout out to Kathleen and Kristina!) making sure everything went smoothly. It was truly special, and I am so thankful to have had the Fierce team supporting us along the way.

Five stars! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Our wedding was earlier this year and we have waited to write this review because we wanted photos to prove how amazing, talented and fun Laura and her team are. Hiring Fierce productions was the best decision we could have made.

We interviewed a few wedding planners and we were impressed by Laura. During our consultation she actively listened to our vision and put it into words to help us understand what our day would entail. My husband and I had no idea what we were doing when we embarked on this process. We had a general vision, but did not know how to pull it together. We had several design meetings and after each meeting Laura left us feeling confident that everything was going to come together.

Laura has a great sense for design and event planning. I feel like she can see into the future and predict flaws, prevent them and execute our vision. The day of our wedding we were calm because Laura checked all the boxes, literally! She was able to command the room, and still put us at ease so we could enjoy our day.

Our day had a few tiny setbacks but Laura did what she could to make it right. The most impressive feat was the timeline. We had a very detailed timeline and Laura and her team made sure we covered everything. She handled unforeseen issues with ease.

My advice to you is to hire Fierce productions full wedding planner service, listen to everything Laura says, sit back and relax. Also hire Adam Biba to be your photographer. He captured the moment of Laura doing her thing!

Thank you again for making our day beautiful.
