Honestly, just hire them!

The IA team was honestly our favorite "vendor" we chose for our day. From the very beginning, working with Thelma and Adua was awesome! They are so fun that it felt like working with friends, but also so insanely knowledgeable and professional that we knew were in good hands.

We hired them for Month of Coordination but honestly wish we just booked them for the full planning service. 1000% worth the investment. Once we started meeting with them a month out, everything just started falling in to place and I began feeling so much better about everything.

I was trying to save money and did lots of DIY (decor, had a friend do my flowers, booked all the vendors) so on wedding day there were boxes on top of boxes of all the wedding stuff I had accumulated. They went through it all, and set everything up perfectly. There were hiccups with the flowers/centerpieces and the photobooth vendor (showed up late) but I had no idea any of it was going on (found out from my friend after the wedding!). They handled everything with such professionalism and grace. The centerpieces (and all of the decor) looked amazing. I honestly have no idea how they did it but they worked magic!

They arrived early to our hotel rooms while we were getting ready that morning - made sure we were staying on track for our timeline (photos and getting to venue on time) - made sure everyone knew where they were supposed to be and when (bridal party, vendors and guests!) - partied with us a bit - and stayed until who knows what time for the breakdown and making sure all of my items were packed away, vendors were clear, and the night was wrapped.

If you need planners that know what they are doing, are great to work with, care about you and your day, and will make sure everything runs smoothly - you have found your team.

Thank you so much team IA!!

Seriously, the best!

Hire them! I am so glad that we hired Infatuating Affairs for our wedding, we had so many guests compliment how amazing they did and that it
was even one of the best weddings they have ever attended. I hired them pretty late in the game, and the second I did, Cori and Jenn hit the ground running. All of their suggestions elevated and improved the vision and vibe of our wedding. I was so stressed leading up to the wedding, but anytime I worked with Cori and Jenn they alleviated my stress, answered all my questions as well as got all the necessary things done to make sure our wedding would go smoothly. The day of our wedding I was so excited and was truly able to enjoy the day, but this was because I hired Infatuating Affairs, so I knew our wedding was in good hands. When I got to our venue, I was just blown away of how beautiful Cori and Jenn set up the venue and it far exceeded our expectations. Our day felt so special, personal, and intimate; exactly what my husband and I wanted for our wedding. Our wedding ran so smoothly because of them. I would hire them again in a heartbeat, I highly recommend you hire them for your wedding too!

Great Experience

Thelma and Cori did a phenomenal job helping us finalize the details of our wedding! My fiancé and I scheduled our wedding date 2 months out and they jumped right in to assist and coordinate. They helped make the day run as smoothly as possible. They carried themselves with great professionalism and were an overall great help to getting things done efficiently and with speed. They demonstrated strong communication with all of our vendors involved and did an excellent job executing the itinerary! My husband and I highly recommend using Infatuating Affairs to help plan and coordinate your wedding day!

Made planning easy!

I’ve known Jen my whole life, and when I finally got engaged I knew I wanted to hire her. Jen and Thelma were fantastic, and paid attention to every single detail! The planning sessions, to-do lists, and timelines were vital. We couldn’t have had a beautiful wedding without them. They had a great list of vendors that we could pull from for anything we needed. I was so nervous the day of, but she was literally by my side the entire day.

My husband and I could not have been happier working with Jen and Thelma! We did full service and gladly say it was worth every penny. Thelma was incredible! She worked with us through all of the difficult parts particularly the logistics and kept us on budget. Jen was remarkable in helping us make our vision for our wedding a reality. Her eye for detail and design is just incredible! It can be overwhelming how many things you do not know when planning a wedding, we could not have done it without her and Thelma. Our wedding was PERFECT!!! They both worked with the vendors and had everything set up exactly the way we had dreamed of. It allowed us to enjoy our time getting ready, and preparing for the ceremony instead of worrying about set up. They were also critical in allowing our ceremony and reception to run like clockwork. Less Stress!! It was the best day of our lives, and we owe it all to Jen and Thelma at Infatuating Affairs. Thank you Jen and Thelma!! -Trichelle and Glenn

Jen and Thelma were wonderful and fun to work with. We planned our wedding from out of state, and they provided us with day-of coordination services. The day went off without a hitch, and everything was executed so beautifully. They understood my vision, design, and style, and I couldn't be happier with the memories we walked away with because of the great job they did. One of the best decisions we made in order to have a stress-free day was to hire them. So glad we did!

Immediately when we brought on the Infatuating Team, Jenn and Thelma were wonderful. They are extremely talented and really fun to work with. Jenn and Thelma are knowledgeable, professional, and sincere. I could tell it really meant the world to them to make my dream day a reality. The vendors they introduced me to were invaluable, from my wonderful photographer Alicia, to my florist Rachel, they literally made sure I worked with the best in the business. Their execution on my wedding day of was seamless! We had over 350 guests, and a ton of details, and not a detail was missed or overlooked. I seriously could not have asked for a better team of planners to work with. I would definitely recommend them for your next wedding or event. I wish you ladies nothing but success because you deserve it!

Infatuating Affairs a.k.a Jen and Thelma made my wedding day to be something out of a magazine. My wedding day was Perfect because of Infatuating Affairs. What ever idea I gave to them, they put there own design and marketing element and brought my dream to life.
Thelma the planner and organizer was cool, collected and 100% in control of every situation, glitches that arose and trust me you need a Planner who can be in control of situations.
Jennifer the designer of my wedding was a design genius!! All elements of my vision for my day and then some she made happen :). She listened to all my ideas and then incorparated her design swag.
They day of the wedding ran smoothly and I wouldn't change anything for the world!
Thank you Infatuating Affairs for making my day as special as it was

We had a fantastic fun-filled wedding. Everyone commented on how relaxed and engaged we were during the entire weekend. And we were not stressed about any of the logistics or other details - because of Infatuating Affairs. They were simply beyond incredible- everything we asked for and much more. Professional, timely, meticulous, attentive, calm and just on top of every single thing. Infatuating was the best decision we made in planning our wedding and we enthusiastically recommend them without reservation. You will be thrilled you chose these guys!

After initially meeting with the Infatuating Affairs team, I felt very comfortable that they had a clear vision of the wedding we wanted and confident that they could get the job done. Not only did they meet, but they exceeded my expectations. Through the months of planning, they stayed focused, attentive and professional. Their dedication, resourcefulness and attention to each detail was phenomenal. They were very careful to keep our budget in mind and used their many creative ideas to create a wedding that was absolutely beautiful. It was obvious from our first meeting that our complete satisfaction was their goal. The day of the wedding Thelma and Jenn interfaced with our vendors and guests, oversaw every last detail, and managed the event so professionally, the day was perfect. We received so many compliments from guests on every aspect of the wedding, from the ceremony, to the food, flowers, music and décor. I cannot thank Infatuating Affairs enough for the amazing job they did in creating such a beautiful memory for our daughter.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
