You NEED Forte Events!

Ever since my wedding, my husband, my mom, multiple guests, and myself have said multiple times that hiring Karen and her team was the best decision we made for the entire day! We had done most the planning ourselves but I was adamant that on the day of, I didn't want anyone to bug me with all the little things that go into throwing a major event and I wanted every one of our guests to feel like a guest and not have to think about anything either. From the moment I talked to Karen I knew I was in the right hands. She stepped in and made sure the entire day and night ran smoothly. She was so reassuring and made me feel like I could just relax and focus on being a bride and that anything that came up I wouldn't have to even know about because she would have it handled, and she did! At the end of the night I realized how much I was able to just enjoy each second and not have to think about what needed to be done behind the scenes. PLEASE do yourself a favor and hire Karen and her team. You won't regret it and it will be your best money spent of the entire day!

Ask for Sinead!!

We looked into quite a few wedding planners when we were getting ready for our wedding, and out of all the quotes we received, Forte was the most affordable for what you get out of all of them. We got paired with our planner Sinead right away and she was AMAZING. She worked out every detail with us from decorations, menu, timeline for the day and so much more. She made communicating with all of our vendors and juggling everything so much less of a weight on our shoulders. She had great vendor recommendations that we ended up using for pretty much everything we hadn't already decided on, she worked with us to stay in our budget and even helped put up the decor we picked out because we didn't have the extra funds to rent a professional backdrop. She also helped us find some sound rental equipment last minute when our original plan fell through. And at the end of the night we barely had to do anything to take down all of the decorations!

We live in Florida so we met with her virtually to plan everything and all the meetings and everything went really smoothly and our day turned out amazingly!!

Absolutely Incredible Experience – 10/10 Stars!

Victoria was my wedding coordinator, supported by two equally amazing team members, and I cannot express how grateful I am for their flawless work. They brought my vision to life beautifully—every detail of the décor was perfect.
Throughout the day, they went above and beyond: bringing me water while I was getting ready, ensuring the entire wedding party was where they needed to be (which was quite a challenge since our ceremony took place on top of a mountain via ski lift!), and keeping everything running seamlessly.
During the reception, they even helped rearrange tables, made sure my husband and I had time to eat, and kindly assisted me with my dress—down to placing a napkin on my lap. Because we had very limited cell service, they coordinated everything through walkie-talkies and handled every moving part effortlessly.
When there was a last-minute issue with our music, they stepped in without hesitation and helped us select new songs on the spot so the evening could continue smoothly. Their professionalism, calm energy, and attention to detail were truly remarkable.
Not only was their service impeccable, but they were also incredibly affordable compared to other coordinators we considered—many of whom charged over $5,000 and didn’t offer nearly the same level of care.
If you’re searching for a wedding coordinator who will make your day completely stress-free and unforgettable, look no further than Victoria and her team. I cannot recommend them highly enough!

Quality Service

My then-fiance and I thought the price for a day-of-coordinator was extremely affordable. We worked with Nicole who was super attentive, thoughtful, and thorough. She took care of everything on our wedding day, but most importantly, she took care of us. Every person I communicated with at Forte Events was phenomenal.

Seamless Wedding Planning with Forte Events

We worked with Forte Events to plan our dream wedding, and the experience was seamless from start to finish. Karen and Victoria were incredible—they truly listened to my vision and made sure every detail was brought to life, even handling last-minute needs on the wedding day with ease. Thanks to their amazing team, I was able to fully relax and enjoy my special day without any stress. I cannot recommend their services highly enough!

Highly Recommend!!!

My husband and I had an amazing experience working with Karen at Forte events for our wedding. Throughout the planning process and on the day of Karen was responsive, followed up on all of our concerns and completely took the stress out of the day.  During the planning process, we had a speed bump with one of our vendors and Karen was able to bring it to our attention and provide a solution before we even realized there was an issue. With Karen and her assistant, Maddy, at the helm, our special day went seamlessly. I would hire her again in a heartbeat!!

So happy we had Forte Events for our wedding day!

We used Forte Events for day-of coordination, and we were soo happy we did! Karen was very responsive and reliable. She managed so many things on the day-of so we could be in the moment and enjoy our friends and family rather than the small details that, knowing us, we would otherwise have been stressing about.

No one better than Karen!

Karen and her team has made our wedding soooo incredibly special. They really knew their stuff and made me feel so confident and comfortable with my vision. They have the BEST ideas and really just made the day go so smooth! I never stressed once knowing Karen, Nicole, and Sinead were on my side! I don’t have the words to say how amazing they are. 1000/10 recommend!
