Ms. Ahliba was a fantastic coordinator for my wedding! She handled everything with so much care and poise. She was proactive, thoughtful and driven to make my wedding day a success. She understood my budget and was able to manage it in order to bring my vision to life. Ms. Ahliba was able to connect me with vendors and she coordinated with them the day of, so that I could focus on enjoying my special day. It was such a pleasure working with her.

I got married on August 22 2015 . Quite honestly, I was skeptical if I needed a wedding planner. I thought it maybe a cost I could save on - but after some advice from family and friends, I decided to work with Ahliba Toffa from Socially Inspired and I cannot imagine how we ever would have done it without Ahliba and the SI team! Ahliba is THE BEST - a dream to work with, really. She is super friendly, outgoing, ORGANIZED, knowledgeable and always willing to do whatever it takes. My wife could call, email or text her and always get a prompt and HELPFUL response. Whenever an issue came up (and trust me, issues will come up that you never even dreamed of), Ahliba would help us work through it, proposing various solutions. In addition, Ahliba and the entire SI team have a great sense of style and easily pick up on their clients taste and deliver. I would have trusted Ahliba to design my entire wedding - she knew exactly what we liked and didn't like and helped us really achieve the look and feel we were going for. The day of the wedding her and the SI team were fabulous - always several steps ahead of us and ensured that everything went flawlessly. I didn't have to worry about a thing - and either our family - so we were all able to enjoy the evening. Ahliba and SI team really go above and beyond in every way - and I cannot recommend them enough - you will be so pleased you worked with them!

Abla was incredible! She is full of bright ideas for weddings, while responsive to what my husband and I envisioned for our wedding! She was also very helpful with finding us different vendors that matched our budget. Abla made time for us, put in thought, and was not just a wedding planner, but a friend through the process. We trusted her with our wedding and she did not disappoint! Book her!!!!

I highly recommend Ms. Toffa. She was great at executing the ideas we had in mind and bringing it to life as well as adding small touches and necessities that we over looked and were essential to the event. She had us covered from the decor to food to nice little amenities to have in the restroom for guests. She made sure all our bases were covered. Best of all, we did not have any worries on the special day on whether everything would be perfect because Ms. Toffa made sure we were well prepared
