The most amazing wedding planner we could ask for!

Where do I begin!! We live in Charlotte, NC and decided to plan a destination wedding. I was so afraid to do something from so far away, especially never seeing the venue, but Ari and her team gave us peace of mind and were incredible from start to finish! From the very beginning she gave us a FaceTime tour of our venue, recommended amazing vendors with multiple quotes, and made our vision come to life. A week before, we decided we wanted a dessert table, and she quickly had multiple vendors to provide us quotes! On the day of, she even packed up numerous boxes of food for us at the reception, as well as our wedding cake, for us to eat back at our hotel room which was incredible and so thoughtful. For any brides wanting to have the “control” like myself, please, trust Ari with your life and your wedding. She is beyond amazing, so kind, and I could not have wished for a better experience. We will forever recommend her and her team, and cannot wait to visit Puerto Rico again!

The best to do it!

Ari was simply a life saver. I reached out to her 3 months before my wedding in a panic because my “coordinator” I got through my wedding venue was very slow in responses and not willing to help day of with any vendors I got outside of the venue (which was all besides DJ). Ari jumped right in to help and immediately reached out to all my vendors, took over communication, created a timeline, and so much more. The day of the wedding she made it SO stress free. Not one thing went wrong and she helped my vision come to life. She handled absolutely everything for me and I can’t recommend her enough. If you are on the fence about getting a coordinator… DO IT & HIRE KAZ EVENTS!!!

Ari is Amazing

Ari was amazing to work with. Planning a destination wedding from NJ could have been overwhelming, but she made it feel easy. She was always responsive, on top of everything, and helped coordinate all the moving pieces with the hotel and vendors in PR. Having her there locally gave me so much peace of mind—I’m really grateful for all her help.

Hire Ariadne. My only regret is not bringing her on sooner.

We hired Ari from KAZ Events for month-of coordination, and from the moment she stepped in, the shift was immediate. She requested all our contracts, reached out to vendors proactively, and flagged items that needed revision before they became problems. Her attention to detail is genuinely unmatched.
The day itself ran seamlessly. We had a prioritized family photo list ready ahead of the ceremony, and she worked alongside our photographer to move through it quickly and efficiently. The ceremony was exactly what we'd hoped for.
What stood out most was how she made sure we actually enjoyed our own wedding. She helped my friend bustle my dress, brought us cocktails and appetizers during the cocktail hour so we didn't miss out, and made sure we sat down to real plates of food at dinner. It's the kind of thing you don't think to plan for and can't recover once the moment passes.
She also handled all vendor tip distribution and provided receipts confirming every envelope was delivered. Nothing fell through the cracks.
If you're considering month-of coordination, or even better - full coordination - book Ari. You'll be glad you did!

Thank you, Ari! You made everything perfect!

Hiring Ari was the one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! She is extremely organized, detail-oriented, and maintains high quality relationships with vendors to make everything easy. She was always responsive and calm, even when we weren't, and her creative vision helped bring our dream to life in ways we couldn't have imagined.

On our Wedding day, Ari was amazing, keeping the timeline running and helping everything flow seamlessly. We were able to relax and completely enjoy our day. She's worth every penny and we cannot recommend her highly enough!

Best wedding planner ever!

If you are in the middle of searching for a wedding planner and you are reading this review, stop what you are doing and contact Ari. I mean it.

From our very first call, Ari stood out immediately as the most responsive person we reached out to during our entire search. That quick, clear communication wasn’t just a tactic to win our business, it is simply who she is. From the first conversation all the way through our wedding day, she was always on top of it.
Ari is, in a word, a superwoman! She managed every moving part of our wedding with grace and kept us on track without ever making us feel stressed. When we had ideas that were really important to us, she moved heaven and earth to make them happen. And when something wasn’t realistic, she told us honestly and helped us find an even better solution. That balance of “yes, and” with genuine expertise is so rare and so valuable.
Hire her now!!
Oh, and one more tip: Ari loves champagne, and if you hire her, please get her a beautiful bottle because she will have more than earned it. She will pour her whole heart into making your wedding day everything you dreamed of and then some. We are endlessly grateful for her!

Best day of our lives!

Ari is worth every penny for her services. As someone who has never come close to planning an event before, Ari guided us every step of the way. She gave advice on vendors, assisted with all communication and coordination prior to the wedding, and also offered a lot of advice and hotel recommendations given half of our guests were traveling in.

The day of was one of the best days of our lives, and I do not believe it would have been so smooth, fun, and beautiful without Ari's support. Ari made me truly feel like a queen. She was constantly checking in, making sure we were okay, had eaten, and settling our nerves. If there were any bumps I am not even aware of them, because Ari handled any issue that might've come up with grace, professionalism, and with solution. I am so grateful to Ari!

A lifesaver!

Ari / KAZ Events was the glue that held the entire wedding event together. I hired her in the very early stages of planning and that was an excellent choice. She was very familiar with my venue that I had already booked, and had other great recommendations for further vendors. She has been doing wedding planning for a long time, and it shows! We spoke periodically throughout the process, but as things got closer, we were emailing and eventually texting very frequently. She always responded quickly and made sure to get to the root of any issue or complaint I may have had. A few days before we met and did a walk through with the venue coordinator. This made me feel so at ease and more ready for the wedding. On the day of the wedding, she was on it. Everything went perfectly and ran very close to schedule. My husband's grandparents are in his 90's and had to leave early. She made sure to position them in the reception area to be able to see our first dance and to get some cake to go. I cannot recommend Ari enough. She acts more like a friend than just a vendor.

★★★★★ Ariadne from KAZ Events was a dream to work with!

We planned our destination wedding weekend in Old San Juan while living in NJ, and Ari made everything feel effortless. She helped coordinate our welcome party at St. Germain Bistro, our wedding reception at Hotel El Convento, and our farewell brunch—each one ran perfectly.

Ari was patient, efficient, and made me feel completely at ease, which let me actually enjoy the weekend. She also took the time to bring us to St. Germain during our planning visit to try the food, which was such a thoughtful touch.

She made sure all of our vendors were on the same page, and everything stayed organized and on time. On top of that, she was so warm and personable with our friends and family—everyone absolutely loved her. If you’re planning a wedding in Puerto Rico, I can’t recommend Ari enough.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
