I could probably speak for eons about how much I love Kadzo and her team for how they showed up for my husband and I. We only had 2 weeks until our wedding when our previous coordinator had to drop our contract due to a sudden loss in the family. Of course we totally understood that, but it put us in a bind. My husband and I planned pretty much everything ourselves, but we didn’t want to be pulled in a million different directions on the day of the wedding so we knew that a coordinator was an absolute must. So I scrambled on The Knot to find someone who could help us coordinate the day of the wedding. I found Fairy Godmother Events there and messaged them. Kadzo replied so fast and we had a call booked asap. I knew right away that she was the perfect choice for us because she was asking me detailed questions that the previous coordinator didn’t even ask me. I found myself speechless because she found inconsistencies in our planning that we never even considered. Mind you: this is, again, the week before my wedding so we seriously had to lock in and follow her recommendations if we wanted to have a smooth wedding. She whipped us into shape (respectfully of course) and gave us direct insight on what was needed for the day to go well. So we got to work and tied up as many loose ends as we could. In the end, the only things we forgot were the guest book and the basket for the flower girl. But when I tell you everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, else was perfect, it was truly our dream wedding and I know it wouldn’t have been anywhere close to that amazing without Kadzo and her team. Thank you sooo much from the bottom of my heart. I wish you and your business infinite success! Many Blessings, Leatrice Wilson & Yoshi Fuller

What a godsend Lissa (and her team) was. Even though we did the ‘event planning’ package, Lissa was still available for any questions we had throughout the entire process. She went above and beyond to make sure we had the most perfect day, and we truly did. We didn’t have to worry about a thing on our day and it was the BEST time ever!! Could not done this without her. ❤️

I cannot recommend Blair with Soco Events highly enough for planning a wedding or frankly any special event. I’d like to think that my wedding was special and that the level of detail and thoughtfulness from Blair was because of the relationship we have built over many years, but that’s just not the case. It is just who she is as a planner and a professional. I have been lucky enough to have Blair as my own client, doing her, her husbands and now even her daughters hair. It was never a question of who our wedding planner would be but simply what would it look like. When it was time for me to be her client, the ease she gave me and and my now husband throughout the entire process was priceless. She knew exactly which vendors would be best for us and over the course of a year, she brought it all to life. She simplified every step of the process getting to know what we wanted and providing input and ideas along the way. Her knowledge, reputation in industry, and experience allowed her to make recommendations tailored to us with vendors that were appropriate for what she knew we would want. During the day before and day of the event, she handled every detail ensuring schedules were kept, vendors were aligned, and we could enjoy the event without stressing the details. I have heard Blair talk often about the brides and families she has kept in touch with over the years and to be honest, I didn’t understand it. I now get it. We will forever be connected and she will always be a part of our inner circle. She has given us the best day of our lives and memories that will last for the rest of our lives. I’m not sure I will ever be able to articulate what 6.24.22 means to me but I know it could not have been this special without Blair.

I was looking for a video booth instead of a normal photo booth for the wedding, which I struggled with finding. Finally came across Talk of the Town and called them. They had a few booth options, which accepted both photos and videos (and can have different recorded lengths). The email responses were a bit slow, but when I called I got immediate action. They sent me samples so I can see what the resolution was like, everything straightforward and easy. Signed their contract and at that time they were also considering in investing in another booth style that was more modern and had changing colors on the outside (you could pick normal white or another solid color, or have it change). They bought it and we had that booth at our wedding. Everyone LOVED the booth, took tons of photos and videos, and they could also even email/text them to themselves (while I get all the copies too). The operator of the booth was nice and professional as well. Highly recommend Talk of the Town!

We got married in August 2021 and used Ani/Ace of Events as our wedding planner. Ani and his team were simply incredible and choosing Ace of Events as our wedding planner was the best decision – we highly recommend them to everyone! From our very first conversation with Ani, we noted his level of dedication and commitment to detail, but also at the same time helping us to feel stress-free about the whole process of planning a multi-day Indian wedding. Ani said his team’s goal is for the bride and groom to feel like guests at our own wedding and truly enjoy our celebration – and we can say wholeheartedly that’s exactly how we felt during our multi-day wedding events! We got to enjoy every function and felt so ease knowing Ani and his team had everything under control. Ani helped us manage all the complexities that came with planning a wedding (including rescheduling it once due to the Covid-19 pandemic and basically “re-planning it”)! Ani and his team managed all the details leading up to the wedding (coordinating with vendors, venue, helping us with guest lists and so many other finer details that we couldn’t fit in this review.) During the actual wedding his team ensured we stayed on schedule, managed vendors, and kept everything moving like clockwork. Our guests raved about how everything flowed so easily and were impressed at how every detail was so meticulously planned! Ani and his team were there every step of the way and especially when things didn’t go according to plan, we were so thankful for him! For example, our ceremony had to be moved indoors due to rain last minute, and he handled that with the venue and it ended up being completely stress free for us as the bride and groom. Ace of Events was even there for the little things. Walking into the mehndi event, I had an earring break and Ani was right there to hold onto it. We also misplaced a couple of items for the events, and Ani’s team worked meticulously to track them down. We often talk about just how perfect our wedding weekend felt and how much fun we have (and how we would do it all over again in a heartbeat) and Ani + Ace of Events are a HUGE part of that. He made our dream wedding happen and we couldn't be more grateful for his team’s invaluable contribution to our special day. If you're looking for a wedding planner who will go above and beyond to make your dream wedding a reality, look no further than Ani and his team at Ace of Events!

At first I was hesitant in hiring additional help but I’m so glad I chose Gala Girls! They were extremely professional, personable and made my wedding experience FUN and stress-free. Lian was always so responsive and helpful which definitely took a load off during our planning and especially the wedding day. She was extremely reliable and was always there to assist and/or provide her valuable opinion. She made sure I was happy throughout this whole experience (I was frustrated and overwhelmed with the wedding planning before I met her). My guests even noticed how well she executed our rehearsal and wedding day. Thank God I hired them because I really don’t think my wedding would have been so smooth. From one bride to the next, you want to enjoy your wedding experience. You won’t be disappointed with Gala Girls!

I'll admit, I was super skeptical about hiring a wedding planner. It wasn't the cost, it was more a question of if we really needed a wedding coordinator for a wedding that was less than 100 people. Spoiler: we absolutely did. We got married in May 2020 but pushed our wedding reception twice due to covid. We worked with Tanisha prior to our reception and on the day of we worked with Tanisha and Desiree. They were flawless. Our reception was in our backyard so, as I'm sure you can imagine, it isn't easy to just trust a stranger with responsibility of your house while you're off getting pictures taken. I never had any reservations about Tanisha. They handled the schedule, kept everything on track and made sure all of our guests with food needs received the proper food. I'm beyond happy with how it all turned out.

Takisha Edwards and her team at Blu Print 2 Events were the absolute dream team for our wedding planning. Her planning suggestions, vendor recommendations, and presence through the entire experience were all we could hope for in planning and carrying out our daughter's wedding. I highly recommend her and her process for any needing to plan a wedding in the future.

Working with Sarah was a true dream. From the moment we started working together on planning my wedding 1 year ago, I knew she not only understood my vision of a Midnight Garden, but knew how to elevate it with small and intentional additions. From our initial call when I was describing my vision, Sarah instantly understood the atmosphere I was trying to create and even suggested a speak-easy cocktail hour with a jazz trio as a nice ode to my husband's Louisiana roots. Sarah sent out a detailed questionnaire for me and my husband to fill out, about our design preferences/styles, that demonstrated to me how much she truly invests in her clients and understanding who they are. Throughout the process Sarah was very responsive, and was able to answer questions in a timely manner. She was also mindful of budget and helped us not overspend (an easy thing to do) when planning. She kept us organized and provided a helpful timeline to keep us on track. In working with her, I didn't feel like I ever had to make any rash decisions, we always had plenty of time to decide on important decisions. Sarah helped and refined the moodboard for the wedding, and selected incredible vendors that matched the overall vision. I always felt in great hands with her and never doubted the vendors she selected for our wedding day. The day of the wedding itself, Sarah's team were incredible and detail-oriented and multiple people commented on how great of the flow from ceremony to cocktail hour to the reception was and that was all thanks to Sarah's timing and knowledge. Working with Sarah was a beyond great experience and I would highly recommend her for anyone looking for an incredible wedding planner.
