    Made our Indian Weddings truly OURS

    My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Kadzo, Eddie, and the IMPACT Collective team for our 3-day Indian wedding. Aside from saying "i do", hiring IMPACT Collective as our full service planner was the best decision we made.

    Here are a few reasons we loved working with IMPACT Collective:
    1. Eddie and Kadzo made wedding planning fun - we were able to focus our time on the decisions we cared about (e.g., choosing a florist), knowing that the other details (e.g., alignment with vendors, timeline sequencing, hotel blocks) were taken care of.
    2. They made our wildest ideas possible. Our dream food provider didn't offer full service catering, so Eddie and Kadzo found a team who would help fill in the gaps. Our dream DJ was flying in from Toronto and could only bring his laptop, so Eddie and Kadzo found a sound system team that worked with our DJ and our unique reception venue to bring the sound to life. We never had to compromise on the things we cared about.
    3. They helped us do things our way. We had an Indian wedding, but wanted to incorporate many components that broke the traditional mold. Eddie, Kadzo, and the IMPACT Collective team have so many different cross-cultural experiences under their belt, that we were able to mix and match the ideas that worked for us.

    If you're looking for a planner, this is your team!

    Full Service Wedding Planning

    We had the absolute best experience working with Kadzo and Eddie throughout our wedding planning experience. Kadzo was our lead planner (full service) for our 2 day Indian wedding for ~400 people and she went above and beyond to make everything absolutely perfect. Kadzo truly is a fairy godmother! Kadzo and Eddie anticipated everything we could possibly need without us even having to think about it and managed to help us stay within budget by using their vast network of contacts. We also had a great team on the day of the reception, and Niassa and Whitney kept everything moving and seamless. I can’t stress enough how amazing they made this process (even while navigating a large cultural wedding) and I can’t recommend the team enough!

    Wonderful month-of coordination!

    We would highly recommend IMPACT's month-of services! Eddie, Anna, and Linda helped pull everything together beautifully for our wedding day, even with a lot of DIY elements. The setup of all of our decor looked really meticulous and came together stunningly. We really appreciated all of their guidance in the months and especially weeks ahead, and for helping us realize when we were on track and should take a breather or what to prioritize leading up to the event. On our wedding day, IMPACT coordinators helped keep things moving to try to retain all the elements we wanted when certain elements ran longer than expected and for coordinating with our photographer and videographer to have all the key moments captured regardless. Their thorough timeline and run of show proved really helpful and provided a lot of peace of mind going into the weekend!

    Also, IMPACT was the only month-of coordinator we came across that offered monthly check-in calls even prior to the month leading up, at which point we more consistently engaged with them in venue walk-throughs, timeline refinement, and vendor coordination.

    The best planners in the DMV!!!

    the IMPACT collective is an absolute catch for your wedding - Kadzo and Eddie have such a knack for making the couple feel special throughout the whole event, and makes the event overall go so smoothly and stress-free for the couple. Loved the wedding they recently planned for my best friend!! Can’t wait to see what magic they do for my own wedding :-)

    Would Not Change a Thing

    We were lucky enough to be matched with Kadzo West when we signed with IMPACT. She was phenomenal. My fiance and I knew nothing about wedding planning, and Kadzo was a calm and reassuring presence throughout the process. She helped us secure a venue that was perfect for us during one of the busiest wedding seasons of the year, and gave excellent recommendations for other vendors. We can't point to a single thing that went amiss on our day, which we largely attribute to Kadzo's expertise and meticulous planning. Can't say enough good things about the experience with IMPACT/Kadzoo.

    Run Don't Walk to Impact Collective

    We are beyond grateful for our incredible wedding planner, Kadzo West! From the very start, she was kind, warm, and made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire planning process. She was proactive, always one step ahead, and anticipated our needs before we even had to ask. Any problems that arose were handled quickly and smoothly, leaving us stress-free on our big day. Even with the small unavoidable things that went wrong, Kadzo immediately contacted vendors Monday after our wedding to rectify the situation. What really stood out was her honesty; she always gave us thoughtful, transparent advice and helped us make the best decisions for our wedding. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to help us bring our dream wedding to life. Highly, highly recommend!

    Want a well coordinated wedding? Look no further

    IMPACT Collective was wonderful. From the initial consultation with Eddie to meeting our lovely super duper organized wedding planner Star, they were awesome. If you have an event with a lot of moving parts, vendors, etc. You definitely need someone to coordinate all of that. Especially the closer you are to the event. Star had so many compliments from our other vendors to how organized it was. The day of the wedding, all of our guests complimented on how smooth the wedding which was very important for us as we don't like guests to sit around be bored and not know what's happening next. Would highly recommend IMPACT Collective 10/10 - much love - Tamana and Minh

    Fantastic planners & people

    I found IMPACT Collective via WeddingWire reviews and they were an absolute pleasure to work with - our wedding would not have happened without them! Eddie was helpful and thoughtful in initial meetings, and Michelle was our designated planner and she was SO great. We went with the "partial planning" package (we found the venue ourselves, IMPACT helped us identify other vendors and lots of other details) and it was definitely what we needed. My partner and I both tend to be busy with work and weren't that interested in things like cake or flowers -- we needed support to keep the planning process moving when we otherwise just weren't that engaged ourselves on vendor research and other details. Michelle understood our vibe, paid attention to the details, and was such an asset on wedding weekend in keeping things running smoothly.

    Impact Collective's professionalism made our wedding day perfect!

    My husband and I cannot say enough good things about Eddie Fam from Impact Collective!! From the moment we began working together, he and his team made us feel completely at ease. Every detail was handled with such care and precision, and their creative ideas truly brought our dream wedding to life. They were incredibly organized, responsive, and made the entire planning process stress-free, allowing us to actually enjoy our engagement and wedding planning for the months leading up to the wedding. Impact Collective worked seamlessly to coordinate all the details of the wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception was organized with all our vendors to include the Market 93 caterers, the flamenco band Trio Caliente, to the two belly dancers Kristi and Asal, the drummer Mohamed, the Decorator Charlotte Ramos (who also did the photo booth) and DJ Hussam….we had the “Dream team”!

    Our wedding planner Eddie had everyone on plan and the timeline was perfect! He cared for our 180 guests and made sure everyone was comfortable, informed and had a great time eating, drinking and dancing! On the big day, everything ran smoothly, and we were able to focus on celebrating with our loved ones, knowing Eddie had everything under control. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares about making your day special, look no further! We are beyond grateful for all they did to make our wedding unforgettable. Sincerely Faridha Salama and Peter Korytnyk

It was such a pleasure to play a small roll in your big day. My favorite part was seeing you and Peter together gleaming, dancing, and enjoying the most important day of your life thus far. Thank you for allowing me to be part of your DREAM WEDDING! ~ Eddie, CEO

    Promised & Delivered

    I had the honor to work with Star for the year to plan my wedding. I got the full planning services and I did not regret it in the slightest. She took all the stressors away and made it a complete joy. She is beyond organized, prompt, sweet, and just amazing. I couldn't imagine our day without her. Thank you IMPACT!!!

    the professionals you need

    Where to begin? Life savers I guess. We used the "month of" services. I'd tried to plan on my own, thinking it wouldn't be that bad. Well, never could I have pulled off what IMPACT has. Phenomenal! I highly recommend, as they are spectacular, and they're spectacular with ease. My spouse stepped in and selected IMPACT to help when I began to stress. Their professionalism is top notch. As a bride who definitely dealt with stressors, I always felt heard and understood by Eddie and his team! Meant the world to me personally. Never a moment we regretted selecting their services. If they recommended a vendor, that vendor was fantastic, knowledgeable, easy to communicate and work with, just like them. Think of the peace of mind you get when you know you're dealing with people who are reliable. Whether stepping in when I would reach my limit, or listening, or coming up with tips and advice, mostly on the fly, because a lot of this business is on the fly, they handled every detail like pros and kept us as a couple protected and relaxed. I can go on and on, if you need me to, just reach out. I'd do an ad for them any day! - signed incredibly happy customers, not just the couple, all our guests as well, 100+!

    IMPACT Collective - Weddings & Destinations's reply:

    It was a true honor and blessing to serve you both on this most special occasion. Thank you soooo much for this kind and thoughtful review!

    Epitome of Professionalism

    Eddie and the whole team at IMPACT were excellent from our first consultation all the way through the big day. They coordinated a 2-couple wedding with outstanding professionalism and attention to detail. They showed awesome cultural competence as this was an ethnic wedding for which they did not have previous experience in. However they took our directions in stride and delivered well in the end. They were hands-on throughout the day on the wedding day, constantly corresponding with the venue staff and other vendors to ensure seamless execution of the program flow. We whole-heartedly recommend their services to anyone looking to make their wedding day the most special it can be!

    Great wedding planners

    Kadzo, Eddie and the team at Impact Collective were a pleasure to work with. From the moment we began working with them, they were there to help us book vendors and answer any questions that arose. On the day of the wedding, Kadzo did an outstanding job. She was very busy behind the scenes, coordinating with the various vendors and making sure everything went perfectly. We are very glad we decided to choose Impact Collective for our big day.

    Real Wedding Magic

    As an officiant, I had the good fortune to collaborate with IMPACT Collective. Eddie and Anna were thorough, organized, and most importantly - focused on the vision. Weddings have many moving parts, and they responded to every detail calmly, confidently, and successfully. The ceremony was beautiful, and I enjoyed officiating because I, as well our shared client, were in good hands. IMPACT Collective is clearly a seasoned wedding vendor, and they curated a wonderful wedding experience. I hope to work with them again in the future, and I highly recommend them for your event planning needs.

    Perfect wedding with less than 7 months!

    My husband and I had an amazing wedding day thanks to the help of The Impact Collective!
    We had less than 7 months when we began planning and they helped us organize every detail while gently nudging us through our to-do list. Wedding planning is very hard on its own, ad with less than a year of planning I don’t think we could have done it with them. Super happy with their help, they put us first in every step of the way.

    IMPACT helped make our day perfect

    We booked IMPACT Collective for the month of coordination package and it was honestly one of the best decisions we made during our wedding planning. Eddie and his team were amazing and truly helped make our wedding a much better experience. Eddie, who is the CEO of the company, ended up being our planner, and throughout the entire time, he was supportive and helped put us at ease during stressful moments. Even though we got the month-of package, we were able to do monthly check-ins right away with Eddie, which was so helpful. In addition to keeping us organized and providing advice on various aspects of the wedding, Eddie also offered recommendations on vendors and suppliers, which was helpful as well. One final note: Eddie is just a cool guy -- someone that you just want to hang out with, which we loved. His personality definitely made the experience much more fun!

    100% Recommend

    We are so incredibly thankful for the support we had from Anna, Linda, Eddie, and the entire IMPACT Collective team. They made things very easy leading up to the wedding and everything ran seamlessly the day of. We loved Anna's personality and she made the getting ready experience so amazing. She checked on me and the bridal party every hour and was also checking in on the vendors. She also added special decor touches that made our welcome sign and cake look amazing! Loved having Anna there! Eddie then helped execute our reception and I couldn't imagine things going any better. My bridesmaids also complimented me that this was the most organized wedding and that is thanks to the whole team. Would definitely recommend IMPACT and plan on using them for future events :)

    Fantastic service for month-of coordination

    Stephanie, Eddie, and the entire IMPACT Collective team went above and beyond to make our wedding special and stress-free! And when I say stress-free, as the bride, I was able to be 100% present for the day I had been planning for 7 months. I bought the month-of coordination package, and Stephanie was an absolute joy to work with. Highly recommend!

    We chose Impact collective for partial wedding planning and we are so glad we did. We worked with Star Drake and she was absolutely amazing. I highly recommend Star and Impact Collective. Star was so attentive and helpful throughout the entire process, I don’t know what we would have done without her. Her experience, professionalism, attention to detail, and knowledge in the field made everything run smoothly and come together on our big day. Thank you!

    Amazing Team

    Eddie and his team did a fantastic job for my Wife and I on our wedding day and leading up to it. They were amazing keeping the day moving smoothly and keeping us on schedule so everything we wanted to include happened. Leading up to it they helped ease my Wife nerves and make sure she felt prepared and supported. They were prepared and professional and really worked will with the other vendors.
