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!

So grateful for Forte Events Co!

Karen and her team were absolutely amazing. I hired her for day-of coordination, and she did everything she could to make our day special and enjoyable.

She was very organized, which I appreciated, put together an itinerary for us, and helped me know what to plan for. There was a lot she brought to the table that I would not have thought of on my own, which helped the wedding run more smoothly.

If you're unsure about whether or not to hire a coordinator, DO IT! It is seriously so worth it. Karen and her team at Forte Events Co were perfect for the job and they handled all the wrenches thrown with ease. I am so grateful I had them to help!
