Day of Coordination for Trad

I hired Tiana after getting rave review from my younger sister. Even though she had a short
Timetable to work with, she and her team definitely delivered! They helped me and my mom stay organized with our vendors. She even helped me secure a hair vendor in a week! The day of, her staff made things smooth and really helped me and my hubby stay calm. It was worth every penny. I highly recommend using them!

Best event planner

Phoriah Events is an outstanding event planner, she’s very articulate and very good at her job. Her communication skill is good, she pays attention to details, she literally took away all my troubles and burdens for my big day. Phoriah Events is a TOP NOTCH, I will recommend her to everyone who needs a planner. She’s very understanding and also knows how to work with your budget. She helped my husband and I reduced all our vendors to the exact money we were able to afford. She coordinated my wedding in a way I couldn’t even imagine. I am so happy to know her and her team.
Give Phoriah Events your dream event, and she will make it a reality. I am grateful to you and your team. Thank you so much.

Excellent Service

Tiana and her team were excellent!!! She had a everything ready - offered us a number of great ideas and was very responsive throughout the planning. She was very helpful and valuable in creating the day-of timeline and coordinating all of the vendors. On the day-off our venue was running late and she was able to smooth it out to make sure our day went perfect. I would certainly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a planner that actually responds and cares.

Best Experience Ever

Tiana was totally incredible. I exceptionally suggest procuring Phoriah Events for all your wedding organizer/facilitator needs! She addressed each and every one of my inquiries for a considerable length of time leading all the way to the wedding and made a detailed schedule/timeline which gave helped us tremendously because it helped us have an idea of how things would be on our special day! She facilitated with every one of the vendors and even took care of all the issues with the band and videographer. I never felt worried on the day of the wedding and it was the most magical and perfect day because of Tiana! She worked tirelessly to help ensure every detail was taken care of. She was also well prepared for any circumstances that may happen - including a bridesmaid who needed the jewel on her dress to be reattached. Help yourself out and hire Phoriah Events for your special day!

Wow! I’m not sure where to begin. Hiring Phoriah events was the best decision ever. Ms. Christiana was an angel. She went over and above what we expected of a wedding planner. We shared our vision with Christiana, and she made it happen. Christiana was easy to talk with and professional at all times. Our questions were responded to promptly. In the days leading up to the wedding, I was stressing unnecessarily. Christiana was always just a phone call or text message away. Our day was perfect because of Phoriah events high standard for excellence. It’s a shame we can only give a 5 star rating. Phoriah events deserves much more than that.
Forever thankful,

We decided to book Phoriah Events for day-of-coordination about a month before our wedding and we are so very glad that we did! Tiana started working with us immediately, she contacted and confirmed all of our vendors, she helped us create a detailed timeline for our wedding day, communicated with our venue to answer any questions from our vendors, and kept us on track for completing all the things that needed to be completed in the weeks leading up to the wedding. My husband and I had an Indian wedding ceremony and Tiana made sure that she asked any questions that she had about the ceremony and traditions so that everything went exactly how we wanted it to on our wedding day. Tiana also attended our final meeting with our venue and our rehearsal and always went above and beyond to make sure everything was to our liking and more importantly that we were not stressed and that we were enjoying the process. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect and we really do credit Tiana and her team for making all of our plans come to fruition that day. We did not have a worry in the world because we knew Tiana was there and we are so grateful for her time and efforts. All throughout, Tiana showed us professionalism and also kindness - she truly wanted us to enjoy our wedding day and we absolutely did, thanks to her and her team. Thanks, Phoriah Events! We could not have done it without you.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
