    I wouldn't pick anyone else but FGM Events

    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

    Best Decision for our Wedding Day!

    It was an absolute pleasure to work with Kadzo and the Fairy Godmother Events team. We opted for partial planning services over a year before our wedding date, and from start to finish, planning with Kadzo was a breeze. Hiring Fairy Godmother Events and Kadzo was the very first decision we made on our wedding planning journey and was by far the BEST decision we could have made for our wedding day and our marriage. For context, we had a multicultural and interfaith indoor/outdoor wedding in September 2025 with about 145 guests.

    During the planning stages, Kadzo was always patient and clear about our options, timelines, and the factors to consider with each vendor and decor decision. She kept us organized with a planning portal that included a shared checklist, reminders, a budgeting page, and other helpful tools. She helped us stay on budget (though my husband made that incredibly difficult!) and found creative ways to get the most out of what we were spending. We also wanted to prioritize small businesses where we could, and she always kept that in mind when making recommendations.

    Thanks to her guidance, we ended up with the most phenomenal vendor team. I was especially impressed by her ability to find hair and makeup artists who met my needs as a natural-hair (4C) bride who rarely wears makeup.

    When it came to day-of coordination, Kadzo was once again amazing. Just before our ceremony, it began to rain unexpectedly. She prioritized our wishes and gave us the space to decide whether to take the risk or switch to the rain plan. When the rain continued, everything transitioned smoothly to our indoor backup plan (despite having only 20 minutes before the ceremony was set to begin). Multiple guests even commented on how well-run the day was and how incredible Kadzo had been. I didn’t have to worry about a thing, and everything felt effortless.

    Beyond her professionalism and planning expertise, Kadzo was simply a joy to have at the event. She beamed with happiness as we walked down the aisle and smiled at us from across the room. In those little moments, it truly felt like having another family member there.

    I would recommend Kadzo and her team to anyone planning a wedding or hosting an event. She is absolutely phenomenal!

    Dream come true!

    Kadzo was so great to work with from start to finish as our day of coordinator. She was exceptionally helpful as we planned, asking questions that prompted us to make sure every detail was accounted for. We had a few planning calls beforehand, she shared a software where we built out the seating plans, timelines, etc, and she was present for the ceremony rehearsal the day before. On the day of our wedding, Kadzo and Niassa did an incredible job. I had my dream day, everything went so smoothly, and they both have a calm and grounding presence that made me feel so taken care of and at ease throughout the day. We are a queer, trans, and interracial couple with mixed families, and they were respectful of those dynamics from start to finish. Highly recommend Fairy Godmother Events!!!

    Truly Our Fairy Godmother

    Kadzo and her team were amazing at supporting me and my husband through our wedding planning process and day(s) of coordination for our 3-day Indian wedding. As my husband and I both work full-time we were nervous about how we were going to manage planning an Indian wedding on top of everything, but Kadzo was truly our fairy godmother. She was able to help us create our Indian wedding events seamlessly and we felt that she understood our every need, sometimes even before we knew what they were! Kadzo was with us every step of the way reminding us of what we were responsible for, what our timeline was, and connecting with us as a couple and as a family with our parents. We had monthly planning calls, a great platform (Aisle planner) where we could track everything, and amazing communication each step of the way. We never felt overwhelmed or out of the loop with Kadzo and her team. She is truly an amazing wedding planner that made us and our parents feel at ease during the planning process and during our wedding events. I cannot recommend her highly enough, if you are looking for someone who is experienced, transparent (no hidden agendas or forced partnerships with vendors for the money! She does not get kick-backs from any of the vendors she uses), meticulous, down-to-earth, realistic, budget-conscious, and just an amazing planner then you will have everything you need and more in Kadzo and her team.

    Indispensable - I was able to actually relax & enjoy my wedding!

    Thanks to Fairy Godmother Events, I was actually able to relax & enjoy my wedding! Working full time, I was completely overwhelmed trying to plan my wedding – with Fairy Godmother Events, I had someone who was able to help me stay on track and find the vendors I needed for our smaller wedding. On the day of the wedding, it looked like the rain had finished & we were excited to be able to hold our ceremony outside – and then 30 minutes before the ceremony started, there was thunder & torrential rain. Kadzo was able to work with the vendors to quickly reset everything inside. It was so seamless our guests had no idea that this was never what we intended and I didn’t have to worry (or try to coordinate while already in my dress & trying to relax before the wedding).

    Kadzo did a great job handling everything on our wedding day!

    I’m so glad we chose Kadzo, we went with her month-of coordination package which ended up being perfect for us. She helped us make sure all of our planning was on track a month out from our wedding and meeting regularly with her before our wedding helped us stay organized and make sure we didn’t miss anything. It was amazing having her and her assistant with us all day on our wedding day so we didn’t have to worry about a thing, Kadzo made sure everything was set up beautifully and taken care of for us! We would strongly recommend her!

    Dream Day!

    I cannot say enough great things about Niassa and Fairy Godmother Events! They were absolutely amazing from start to finish. Niassa handled everything with incredible care and attention to detail. She even went above and beyond by preparing food for my spouse and me to keep us energized for our wedding photography. She thought of things I hadn’t even considered, which made the entire experience feel completely stress-free. The decorations were stunning, and it felt like she brought our vision to life perfectly. Every single detail was handled flawlessly. I am so grateful for Niassa's professionalism, creativity, and hard work. If you're looking for someone to make your day perfect, look no further than Fairy Godmother Events!

    Highly Recommend Fairy Godmother Events!

    Working with Kadzo was fantastic! We highly recommend!

    We worked with Kadzo for over a year leading up to our wedding. One of the first things we noticed about Kadzo that proved true throughout the entire planning experience is how cool, calm, collected, and solutions-oriented she is. She was just so open-minded and adaptable and always made us feel at ease. I think some planners, intentional or not, imply that couples are making “right” or “wrong” decisions. Kadzo wasn’t like this - she was very direct and honest about trade-offs, benefits and costs, best practices, and problems to really avoid. But in general, she did not try to push us too much toward a strict vision which we really appreciated. We felt like she was our partner in crafting and executing our totally unique day. She provided high-quality vendor recommendations, and in cases where we decided we wanted a different vendor, she helped us think through our decisions and managed communications with the vendors. She was patient while we iterated and helped us tell the difference between factors that were really important and those that didn’t matter as much. We also appreciated the Aisle Planner planning software she provided, which had to-do checklist and a budget tool.

    Throughout the process, Kadzo was reachable via email, text, Zoom, or call. We tried to be efficient, but if we ran a few minutes over, she was always very accommodating. When it came down to the month of we met more frequently. On the wedding day, we did not have to worry about managing anything! She kept us running on time and our family was raving about how well organized the wedding was. Kadzo’s associate was also excellent, friendly and capable. Again, I come back to the calm demeanor - It really does go a long way on the day of and keeping your vibe present and grounded as the bride and groom!

    We had the most beautiful wedding day full of love, family, community, and celebration. We are so grateful for Kadzo and will treasure our special day forever!

    Fantastic!

    Kadzo was so responsive and helpful, and our two day-of coordinators (Cheronda and Melissa) were total rock stars! We had a blast, and all our guests raved about the whole experience, which wouldn't have been possible without Fairy Godmother Events! I can't recommend them enough.

    Kadzo west is amazing!

    Kadzo and her team are INCREDIBLE. Seeing your vision come together is one of the best parts of the big day, and Kadzo made it happen. I was a very anxious bride. Kadzo kept me calm and handled all of the concerns that came up. She ran interference with all of our vendors, which worked perfectly during the day so that my husband and I didn't have to worry about a thing. All of my friends and family were so complimentary of Kadzo and her efficient team. If you have the opportunity, hire Kadzo.

    An incredible experience from start to finish

    Kadzo, the Head Godmother, was an incredible asset to us, helping figure out the timeline, plan out the seating arrangement, and helping us think through all of our plans at a high level. From the very beginning, she was open, kind, honest, and informative - during the planning process, things could get a bit stressful so having her on our side was incredible. When it came time to have our final walkthrough, rehearsal, Niassa was our assigned coordinator and she was so helpful with everything! She helped guide us the walkthrough, inform us what might go with our themes and colors, and led an incredibly easy and smooth rehearsal. On the day of, we had TWO(!) day of coordinators to help us through the day and it couldn't have been smoother. Niassa and Dymond were incredible and my wife and I were able to be completely in the moment while they handled everything from handing out tips, making sure we ate something, getting us some time alone, and even packing up. Such an incredible experience and I couldn't recommend the whole Fairy Godmother Events team more!

    I was able to relax and enjoy my wedding day!

    I hired the FGM team to help assist with day-of coordination. From the beginning, they were super helpful and answered my questions. As the big day got closer, they helped finalize the small details. Kadzo was great at easing my fears/anxiety and assured me she had it handled. My wedding day went off without any issues; the day-of team was very attentive to both my husband and me. They allowed me to relax and not worry about the schedule. Book the FGM team, you won't regret it.

    Great experience with Fairy Godmother Events

    We planned most of our wedding ourselves but needed a Coordinator to step in and run the show on the day of the wedding -- and we are thankful we hired FGE to do that! Kadzo's team was lovely to work with and ran our day smoothly and efficiently.

    Even though they were our "day of" coordinators, they started working with us ~6 weeks out to fine-tune our timeline and make sure everything was on track in the lead-up to wedding day. They were great about recommending tweaks and adjustments to ensure we wouldn't be stressed day-of and could truly enjoy ourselves. They also ran our rehearsal the day before, which was really helpful! Then, on wedding day, I could trust that they had the information they needed and knowledge about our event (especially after working with us several weeks ahead of time) to execute it seamlessly. Throughout the evening, they prompted us and our family/wedding party when it was time to move to the next item on our timeline (ie: family photos, speeches, etc). And they did this in a way that made us feel taken care of, not like we were being shuttled from one thing to the next. Overall, it was a great experience.

    We would highly recommend them! They are kind, talented professionals who will make sure you feel taken care of on your big day!

    Fairy Godmother Events is a must!

    Kadzo, owner of Fairy Godmother Events, is a top-notch wedding expert. Hiring her as our wedding planner was immensely worth the investment. She kept us on track and advised on wedding trends from how to get the best bang for our buck to what we could skip. She's extremely detailed oriented which is what you want on your wedding day. She was always available for a quick question and handing the administrative tasks to her, like emailing vendors, saved us a tremendous amount of time so that we could focus on bigger things like our jobs, the logistics and emotions of joining our lives :) And even when there was a snafu on our wedding day of some decor still in our apartment instead of at the reception venue, she figured it out and made it all look seamless. I'm not sure how she turns into Superwoman for wedding after wedding but she does. Thank you, Kadzo, for all the work you put in to make our special day wonderful.

    Great company!

    SUPERIOR would be such an inadequate word to describe the service received by Fairy Godmother events - the best word is PERFECTION. They listened very carefully to what I wanted the room to feel like; they incorporated all my ideas beyond anything I was expecting, morning noon or night calls/e-mails were answered immediately. Thier level of professionalism far exceeds anything we see today. Just simply AMAZING!!

    A TRULY SEAMLESS Coordinating Experience!

    Kadzo and the team at Fairy Godmother Events thoughtfully and perfectly executed our micro-wedding! We opted for Day of Coordination but Kadzo was helpful, responsive, and kind from the start, leading all the way up to our Big Day! Deciding to work with Fairy Godmother events made our wedding day seamless amidst all the little moments we never could have planned for. Kadzo + her team’s ability to pivot in an unexpected “pinch” is truly unmatched! If we could give 10 STARS I would!

    My wedding would have been ruined without Kadzo and her team

    Kadzo was my day-of coordinator and she was INCREDIBLE in handling the change in timeline when my hair and makeup artist made us 45 minutes late to the ceremony. I don’t know what I would have done without Kadzo and her team. She responded very quickly to all of my emails and I felt I could put my full trust into her on my wedding day. Before I had even signed a contract with her she offered to make email introductions with vendors within my price range when I told her I was still in need of a florist. I ended up using one of her recommended vendors and I was super happy with how my wedding flowers came out. Her demeanor is very calm and exactly what a bride needs on her wedding day. I can’t recommend Kadzo enough. I hope I have the pleasure of working with her again in the future!

    Amazing coordinators!

    Kadzo and Cynnise from Fairy Godmother Events are AMAZING! Kadzo was able to answer all questions before the event and Cynnise was our day of coordinator and is an absolute gem! I can not imagine what it would have been like if I did not have her there. I 100% recommend them for any event!

    Best Money Spent on the Wedding!

    Fairy Godmother Events was a God-send as our day-of wedding coordinator. Working with Kadzo and her team was incredible and hiring them was easily the best money we spent on the wedding. We spent months planning every detail of the wedding day but knew we didn't want to try pulling everything together day-of or ask our family/friends to. We couldn't recommend the Fairy Godmother team more.

    Falls Church Wedding

    Kadzo and her assistant were both amazing. They delivered through professionally and the coordination went very smoothly. As the bride, I was at ease and amazed how everything was setup beautifully. My wedding was perfect and couldn’t have happened without their amazing help. Thank you so much, Fairy Godmother. If I ever renew my vows, I’ll definitely reach out to them again.

    Kadzo and her team were absolutely AMAZING!

    Thank you for making my day amazing! You were so responsive and you helped ease my stress tremendously. You were so quick to change things if needed if they weren’t the way I wanted, you were so flexible and cared so much about what I wanted! I’m so grateful that you took care of us on our special day. My florist forgot my flowers for my sweetheart table and Kadzo collected all my bridesmaid bouquets and put them on the front before everyone entered the reception area and it looked beautiful! You guys were great and we appreciate all your help :)

    Fairy Godmother Events's reply:

    Thank you for your kind words Amanda! You and Anthony were an absolute joy to work with, and it was such an honor to be there to help you two start this next chapter of your lives together. Wishing you so much love, light, and joy in your marriage. All the best!

    Worry Free Wedding Day

    Thanks to Kadzo, Ify, Aneta, and Tameka my husband and I had a worry free wedding day. I booked them for day-of coordination and they were AWESOME. They anticipated what we would need before we even knew we needed it. LoL! I would recommend them in a heartbeat.

    Fairy Godmother Events's reply:

    Thank you Cherez! You and Scott are an amazing couple and the love you have for each other is just palpable. I'm so excited and overjoyed for you both as you continue on this journey of life together. Wishing you so many moments, big and small, worthy of celebration!

    Best,
    Kadzo

    Professionalism at its best, took the stress out of our wedding day!

    Initially we were not sure that we needed a day-of coordinator, as we had planned the entire wedding ourselves remotely with the help of our moms and knew most details inside and out. But as soon as we spoke with Kadzo over the phone, we knew we were dealing with a professional who is VERY good at her job. Kadzo said from the outset that her job would be to execute the vision we had carefully planned and to allow us and our loved ones to enjoy the day. And that is exactly what she and her team delivered.


    We had two ceremonies and two receptions, basically two weddings, planned in one day, and when we asked Kadzo admitted that this was one of the longest timelines she had worked on. Kadzo has a calm, thoughtful, and reassuring demeanor and has an established workflow with a coordinator dedicated to the wedding party and one dedicated to vendors on the day. She kindly partook in our venue walkthrough with our caterer and moms when we could not travel back for the meeting. She met with us several times over the phone and asked questions about aspects of the wedding we hadn't considered, and helped us tweak our timeline into a smoother and more logical flow. Seeing our complex decor timeline with multiple details handled by family and friends, Kadzo offered the option of adding a third coordinator dedicated solely to decor. We took her up on the offer and never looked back. Kadzo stepped in and helped us reach our caterer when we were having trouble with communications. And when it came time for our rehearsal, she helped run the show and keep us organized.


    On our wedding day, Kadzo and her team allowed us as the couple and our moms to relax and enjoy the day, without having to stress over little details. My mom, who otherwise would have had to shoulder the bulk of that burden, has said multiple times that having Kadzo and her co-coordinators there was the best decision we made and that she felt so at ease on the day with the wedding in their capable hands. Kadzo and her team were in constant communication with each other and with our photographer, caterer, and DJ so that timing went according to (and at parts even ahead of) schedule. Our DJ even commented on how easy Kadzo made his job that day. For my part, my husband and I so thoroughly enjoyed our wedding day, we still have no idea of what difficulties or hiccups Kadzo and her team had to deal with to make things run so smoothly.


    So for any couples out there wondering whether or not to take the plunge with day-of coordination, hiring Kadzo and her team was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. If you want to be worry-free and able to fully enjoy your wedding day, we would absolutely recommend that you work with Fairy Godmother Events!

    Top knotch!

    Kadzo was absolutely amazing! She ran a tight ship and kept us all on schedule and went above and beyond getting everything set up during our big day. She also gave a lot of strong advice when I was not sure about the flow or timeline. She was incredibly professional and made sure our needs were taken care of. I cannot recommend her and her team enough.

    Fairy Godmother Events's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kind words Lana! You did a phenomenal job planning your wedding, and it was our absolute pleasure to help bring your planning to life. Wishing you and Pablo a lifetime of love and happiness together!

    Best Wishes!

    Exceptional Service! Dream Wedding Coordinator!

    Kadzo and her assistant Niassa made our dream wedding come true. I was so impressed by their professionalism, attention to detail, and organization.

    She arrived early on our wedding day to get started. I was really worried about getting everything setup and Kadzo took the stress off immediately. She had me walkthrough what needed to be finished and she went to work! After ensuring that the catering, event space, and the bride & groom (aka me) were ready, we moved into getting the day started with the ceremony.

    Kadzo and Niassa ensured that the event went flawlessly, including breakdown.
    I found her service to be an exceptional value! Kadzo brought so much to our dream wedding. I will recommend her to all of my friends and family. Absolutely exceptional!! +5 stars

    Truly a miracle worker!

    The name says it all. Kadzo and Niassa are an absolute dream team and the way they saved my event was nothing short of an act of magic.

    If there are such things as guardian angels, I would not be surprised if Kadzo was secretly one of them. No matter the how great the ask, she took care of it, sometimes before I could even ask it!

    I have never met someone so professional and polite that still could get things done from anyone she spoke to! I think I cried more reflecting on how perfect she made the wedding than I did during my own vows.

    Without her my DIY wedding would have ended up on one of those wedding disaster/fail shows on TLC no doubt.

    We only got the day of coordination package and are absolutely kicking ourselves we didn't invest in the full coordination. DO NOT BE LIKE US. Put your wedding in her hands from jump and watch her work her magic. You will not be disappointed!

    Stress Free and Fun Experience

    Working with Kadzo and her team was amazing. She is extremely professional, but also lets her personality shine. When a situation arises, you can’t feel stress from her demeanor, yet a sense of calmness. It poured on our entire wedding day from sunrise until sunrise the next day, so our outdoor cocktail hour got canceled, she handled communication about that seamlessly and sent her team to buy umbrellas to escort people in and our without me even needing to know. Day of, I didn’t have to worry about anything because I knew I could trust Kadzo. She had 3 other coordinators and they split up to handle communication with the bridal party, the guests, and the vendors. They did a phenomenal job keeping everything on schedule without rushing anything.

    Fairy Godmother Events's reply:

    Alyssa! Thank you so much for taking the time to write this review. Your wedding weekend was beautfiul in so many ways, I'm still floating on air and I wasn't even the Bride! Thank you for trusting us with your special day. Wishing you and Ben a lifetime of love and happiness together!

    End of Decade Party

    I would hire Fairy Godmother Events again in a mila-second. The vision of my End of Decade Party was executed beyond flawless. Walking into the space the evening of my celebration literally took my breath away.

    I am a type "A" personality; the communication to and from Kadzo and team was excellent. Initially we started out with monthly conference calls, as time got closer we morphed in to weekly calls. I literally did little to nothing. Kadzo, Rachel and team had questions answered before they were asked. The ability to anticipate my thought process, need and expectations were uncanny. With a bit of time and conversation, Kadzo clearly understood expectations, my genres and she ROCKED EVERY SINGLE ASPECT OF MY EVENT!

    Kadzo and Fairy Godmother Events is an incredibly resourceful, professional and capable organization. I recommend Kadzo and her team to anyone seeking a party planner. They are guaranteed to blow your vision away.

    Best decision we made!

    We worked with Kadzo and Rachel from Fairy Godmother Events for day-of coordination for our October 19, 2019 wedding with 120 guests. We’d planned our wedding ourselves but about 4 months before the actual date, we realized we didn’t want to be dealing with vendors or questions from guests on the day itself.

    From the outset, as I called around to multiple day-of coordinators, I was set on working with Kadzo and Rachel. Their complete professionalism and years of experience was immediately clear. The moment we hired them, I felt more at ease.

    In our planning calls, they asked every question imaginable - ones we’d never even begun to consider - and helped us craft an exhaustive timeline and decor plan.

    On the day of the wedding, I felt like I didn’t have to do a thing except get married. Our decor was gorgeous and exactly what I’d envisioned - the team executed it to a T. Rachel dealt with multiple curve balls and responded so swiftly and quietly that I had no idea anything had gone awry until after the fact. She knew exactly what merited involving one of us, and when to delegate a decision to our maid of honor.

    I can unequivocally say that hiring Rachel and Kadzo was one of the best decisions we made in the entire wedding planning process. The peace of mind that their clear, calm decision making and planning expertise brought was worth every penny. And for the quality of their services, they are a steal.

    We cannot thank them enough, and I cannot recommend them highly enough.

    Meticulous Coordinator

    I hired Kadzo and Rachel for my month of wedding coordination. I wasn't originally planning to hire a planner and thought I could accomplish it all. Of course, work was too demanding and I just couldn't plan all the details remotely without some extra help. I found Fairy Godmother Events to be reasonably priced and I really enjoyed my first call with Kadzo. Although neither had worked the Baltimore of Museum of Art previously, they both indicated a strong interest in the venue and were more than happy to visit in order to get a real understanding of the lay of the land.

    Rachel was my main contact, but Kadzo was there every step of the way to offer any additional advice. They both offered very meticulous notes after the walkthrough and highlighted several issues that I never previously considered. I would definitely recommend both for your planning needs!

    P.S. For any remote brides, I would recommend more phone calls than emails. I had a tendency to send emails late at night because of my work schedule, but phone calls were definitely more helpful and avoided some of the confusion that happened through email.

    Month of coordination

    It was a pleasure to work with FGM. Kadzo is very professional and extremely responsive. Whenever I had a question about something she got back to me with an answer promptly. She was very honest with me about things that people that don't plan weddings for a living do not think about. During the day of my wedding she and her team made sure everything went off without a hitch. I am so glad I chose to use FGM for me wedding day. I will be sure to use them again for my baby shower (claiming it now)!!

    Our Fairy Godmother

    As many know, there are so so many moving pieces to a wedding. The Bride and Groom usually sweat each detail and wondered if all bases were covered. Thanks to Fairy Godmother, specifically Kadzo West and her staff, we were able to enjoy our special Day and it was perfect. They did an amazing job and everything went as planned.
    I recommend Fairy Godmother Events to all because they were like a Fairy Godmother to us.

    From crazy stressed to perfect wedding

    Having the support of Fairy Godmother Events for our wedding was the best decision we made throughout the wedding planning process. I never knew how many details, emails, spreadsheets, phone calls, and last-minute questions would go into making a wedding work, and FGE handled it all so that we could just relax and enjoy the amazing day. Additionally, Kadzo and Rachel stayed in excellent contact in the lead up to the wedding, which helped get rid of a lot of our pre-wedding anxiety. They knew exactly the right questions to ask to ensure that every detail was in place and coordinated seamlessly with our vendors behind the scenes. As a result, our wedding was absolutely flawless.

    Responsive, capable, problem-solver!

    Kadzo was a godsend! We were planning a destination wedding w/ a planner overseas, and hired Kadzo to help plan/execute a reception back in the States after the wedding. We were so stressed about the wedding, that I needed someone to plan the reception pretty much on their own (with our input of course), and Kadzo did that. She was very responsive, transparent, and got things done. Friends and family even told me after the reception how wonderful, friendly, and professional she was. My mom said, "She came up to me and chatted and hugged me like we'd known each other for years!" Even at the end of the evening, as she was starting to clean up, she was awesomely stealthy - folding up a few chairs, stopping to chat with people, picking up a few things, mingling some more, etc. It was so subtle, which I loved. I felt in very capable, competent hands the whole time, which i s the biggest compliment I can give. Her assistant was great, too! I would definitely hire her again and recommend her to anyone.

    We Could All Use a Fairy Godmother Like Kadzo

    Kadzo was an absolute dream to work with from beginning to end. I hired her and her team to be a day-of coordinator and decorator and she went above and beyond to make sure my vision was executed perfectly for the wedding. She patiently fielded lots of questions at all hours, and was always responsive and positive. She had great advice and great taste. I was nervous that getting a coordinator would cost an arm and a leg, but it was all very reasonable and well worth the expense. We received so many compliments from our guests on how beautiful the wedding was. I enthusiastically recommend her without any reservations.

    Day of coordinator

    I hired Kadzo as the day of coordinator for my wedding this past weekend. From my initial conversation with Kadzo I had very good vibes. She made me feel comfortable and gave me advice of what to look for in a day of coordinator, even if I chose not to go with her. We had our initial consultation and leading up to the wedding that she was always available by email and/or text in case I had questions or concerns. Or needed advice on something for the wedding. The day of the wedding went so smoothly. Everything was so beautiful. She and her assistant Rachel (whom she included later at no additional charge) were great. They worked well with the day of coordinator that was provided by my venue. I am so thankful to them in helping my make my day perfect. I will definitely use them for future events.

    Created a Beautiful Space!!

    I had the pleasure of working with Kadzo when I volunteered to help a good friend by being her wedding day organizer. I am not a professional, but thankfully Kadzo is! She was on time, did more than she promised, and did it better than we could have imagined. If I lived in Maryland, she would be my go to planner/decorator!!

    When I first contacted Kadzo she was very responsive and willing to assist me with all my questions. When we finally spoke over the phone she was very professional, straightforward and down to earth. She was very honest and gave me her honest opinion and recommendations. I highly recommended her for your event.

    A must have for your event!

    We had a rainy wedding, which always makes this more challenging. Even with the rain the crew set everything up, and made last minute changes to accommodate the weather, they even ran to Michaels and Home Depot at the last minute. They stayed an hour late to help out the caterer to make sure everything was done for my wedding. I am still so relieved I found them! Kadzo was especially helpful. She was very detail oriented and thorough.
