The best in the buisness

First and foremost, Francesca "Frankie" is the BEST in the business. I would 100% recommend TEG over and over again. Hiring Francesca was the best vendor decision I made while planning my wedding! I started following her on Instagram when I got engaged and knew I had to hire her as my wedding planner immediately! I had a vison and it was executed. She made not only the day of my wedding perfect, but she also made the planning process stress free. I never felt a bit overwhelmed once. She is not only a wedding planner, but your advocate, a shoulder to vent to and someone i can call a friend forever. She knows the absolute best vendors in the business. We had a vendor team of over 30 and she executed everything and everyone seamlessly. Her eye for details is unmatched. She gave me the weddinging of my dreams and it would have not been possible without her. She truly is so special and amazing at what she does. Truly grateful.

Priceless - keep your sanity with Frankie!

Frankie was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding. From start to finish, she was an absolute rock star, and I truly believe our day wouldn't have been possible without her expertise. Her deep knowledge of the area and connections with top-tier professionals made everything seamless, and her ability to keep us on track was invaluable.

As a type A person, I had a million questions, and Frankie answered every single one with patience and precision. She kept us on schedule, coordinated all the wonderful vendors, and ensured that every detail was taken care of. Thanks to Frankie, we were able to fully immerse ourselves in the moment, knowing that we were the guests of honor, free to focus on our love and the beginning of our marriage journey.

I cannot recommend Frankie enough. Her value is truly priceless, and she made our wedding day the best it could possibly be. If you're looking for someone who will take your vision and elevate it to perfection, Frankie is your go-to. She's an incredible planner and an even better person!

Best wedding planner

From the moment I started wedding planning, I knew I wanted The Eventful Gals. My fiance needed a little convincing on if we needed a wedding planner, but after meeting with Frankie for the first time, he said we NEED her. We booked TEG in fall of 2022 for our February 2024 wedding and Frankie was there every step of the way. She gave us our dream wedding and MORE that somehow was within our budget!! She is REAL, honest, professional, patient, and truly values and cares for all of her couples. She takes the time to listen and get to know you and your vision. She is so knowledgeable and knows what vendors are the best fit for you and she is not afraid to have those tough conversations to ensure you are staying within budget. Even our guests and people in our bridal party said she was a BOSS because she executed everything seamlessly and did not tolerate any nonsense from anyone. She will be your biggest advocate!! We had a large wedding of 200 people that blended our Filipino and Arabic cultures. Incorporating our cultural traditions was very important to us and she designed a timeline and vendor team that helped implement this. I had a specific design vision and high expectations and Frankie NAILED it. No idea is too crazy for her…I wanted a suspended cake and she made it happen while surpassing our expectations. I was not the biggest fan of our venue bar and she completely transformed it to be more modern. Her design ideas, talent, creativity, and thoughtfulness is truly unmatched. She was a shoulder to cry on, someone who steered us in the right direction when there were so many outside opinions, and someone who went the extra mile to ensure we were taken care of and stress-free. I was so calm and present on my wedding day because Frankie was there to handle everything. Even throughout our wedding, she constantly checked in on us and made sure our glasses were never empty. She literally was my BRIDAL BESTIE and I could not have made it this past year and a half of planning without her help and expertise. Forever grateful for Frankie and TEG!!!

Pure Excellence

Where to begin…Froncesca “Franky” better known as among her staff, really showed up showed out for my sons wedding. Doing a destination is hard to begin with, however when you have the professionalism in all areas it really helps. For over 30 years I have been in catering an event planning, this time I was on the other side with my son deciding to get married and away from our hometown. I have high expectations going into an event and a super critic of how it will play out. I was shocked, and truly exceeded my expectations on every detail, there was not one thing that did not show the professionalism, from the venue recommended to the caterer to every staff member. I cannot thank her enough for making their day special and bringing to life every vision they had for it. Thank you again and best of blessings to your business for years to come.

More than amazing!

We hired TEG for day of coordination and everything was AMAZING!! Everything was on time, stress-free and handled everything behind the scenes with ease! She helped so much along the way with vendor recommendations, budget, invitations, and random questions! Ourselves and our families did not have a single stress the day of which is how it should be. Even with the very few things that didn’t go accordingly, we felt at ease or the problem was fixed and were not made aware of so it didn’t effect our night. Francesca was SO amazing!

Best Event Planner EVER

There are really no adequate words to describe how overjoyed I am that I booked The Eventful Gals (TEG). There is no better feeling for a bride than knowing that you made the right choice for a vendor.

I booked TEG for Event Management. I was drawn to TEG because of their amazing social media presence particularly on Instagram. I was then further pulled in after watching some of Francesca’s stories and I said “this woman knows what she’s doing”. I sent the inquiry and from first contact she was professional and responsive and that gave me so much peace.

She assured me from the start that my wedding day would be managed and coordinated and that myself nor my now husband would have to worry about a thing. SHE WAS RIGHT.

Francesca was very clear on information and things she needed from me to execute her job properly. She helped me make some difficult decisions regarding vendors, guest list and other tasks.

She ran rehearsal until I felt comfortable with what I saw (anxious bride problems lol) and even gave my mom and I recommendations on where to host our welcome wedding event.

On my wedding day I didn’t have to do a thing but be a beautiful bride and take in everything that was happening all because of Francesca. In one of the photos for this review I’ve attached a photo of myself, my husband and Francesca. I thought it was important to show that photo in particular to emphasize her helpfulness, attention to detail and care for her clients.

I still get a little emotional (a month later) about how amazing everything turned out. I know every bride says it but my day was literally perfect and I have Francesca of TEG to thank for that.

Hiring TEG was one of the best decisions I could have made for my wedding. Future Brides, please make the right decision and hire TEG. You won’t regret it.

Amazing group of women!

The whole team we interacted with was incredible. Francesca helped us leading up to the wedding and was so helpful and extremely organized. She helped me with my budget, picking vendors, scheduling, and more. The day of the wedding we had Ashley and wow! Talk about helpful. She was so professional, personable , and AMAZING at her job. During the ceremony she even helped with my niece who is only a year so that we could focus on the ceremony. My venue supplied the Eventful Gals to us and my only regret from my wedding is not hiring them for the entire process. Do yourself a favor and book this vendor first.

I will recommend TEG forever!

I don't even know where to start! I could truly write a novel. From the first phone call with Frankie, I knew she was the best fit for us. She instantly asks about our wants and needs as a couple and makes it very clear that we are priority, second to our budget of course. ;) I had spoke with a few other planning companies that made me feel like a drop in the bucket and just another dollar coming in for them. The difference with Frankie is that she VALUES her couples. She is not only a wedding planner, but your advocate, a shoulder to cry on, part of your support system - all while working so hard for you. A lot of which we as brides don't even see or hear about - BECAUSE SHE JUST HANDLES IT. Often times I would think "OMG she is helping me with my wedding, and doing the same for so many other brides simultaneously AND balancing her own life as a mom and wife!" Seriously in awe. BUT I always felt like I was important and prioritized. There is no amount of money that can pay for that feeling. It's how wedding planning should be! From the moment my mom and husband met Frankie, they said "Wow she has this under control!!" And THAT is merely it. She knows what she's doing and is SO SO good at it. There was never a worry or wonder. She is organized, punctual, and over all just a great human being that is kick ass in all that she does. She suggested my vendor dream team to me when I didn't know where to start. She was a text or phone call away when I started feeling overwhelmed. And lastly, she is an inspiration. She is real. She will shoot you straight, even if it can be hard to hear. All because she just wants the best for you. She is there every step of the way. I will never be able to thank her and her TEG team enough for giving us our DREAM DAY. Their talent is unmatched and I will recommend TEG forever. THANK YOU FRANKIE & TEG!!!!!!!

The best wedding planner!

I don’t even know where to start, hiring Francesca was the best vendor decision I made while planning my wedding! I started following her on Instagram when I got engaged and knew I had to hire her as my wedding planner immediately! We started planning during COVID, and had many changes along the way and she was so helpful with decisions that I had to make. At the last minute, our venue had to move our reception outdoors, and she made sure everything still looked beautiful and exactly how I pictured it! She gave me great vendor recommendations and every vendor I hired was absolutely amazing. The actual day of my wedding went so smoothly, and even with some bad weather, everything was perfect. Our wedding was the best day of our lives and it would not have happened without Francesca!

The BEST in the business!

Frankie and the team at the Eventful Gals is the best in the business! As someone who works in the large events industry, I knew from my first conversation with Frankie that her team was experts in the wedding industry. Hiring her and her team was hands down the best decision I made in my wedding planning season. Throughout the COVID pandemic, Frankie was there for me every step of the way. She is always available for her brides, is an industry expert, and has years of experiences to help you navigate even the most ~unprecedented~ challenges. She listened to all my crazy ideas, talked me through dozens of back up plans and changes and was my biggest advocate. My wedding would NOT have happened had Frankie not been on my team. On the day of the wedding you can expect that The Eventful Gals will go above and beyond in every single aspect. From the big things like decorating and designing to the small things like bringing my husband and new corsage when his got flattened during photos and ensure our champagne flutes were never empty. Frankie and her team did not leave a detail up to chance. They had a plan and were prepared for everything! This is key --- they left nothing up to chance!!! Frankie has a plan for everything and has years of experience to back up why her plans work. Even if you are a planner you need a PLAN and Frankie and her team at The Eventful Gals are the best planners in the business. I could not possibly recommend someone more!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
