Sara S. Sent on 10/17/2023Exceeded Expectations!
We hired Akua and her team as our day-of wedding coordinator. Akua went above and beyond our expectations - from setting up numerous calls leading up to the big day, to making sure we were meeting deadlines for booking vendors and making payments, to creating detailed timelines, and communicating directly with other vendors (venue, DJ, photographers) - her attention to detail in the planning process went beyond just the day of the wedding. Akua is genuine and immediately put us at ease in our first call with her. She checked in with us to see how we were feeling leading up to the big day. On the day of the wedding we didn't have to worry about a thing! Everything moved smoothly so that we could be fully present while Akua and her team handled everything behind the scenes. Hands down the best money we spent! We would not have been able to pull of an amazing wedding without Phuliffects! Thank you, Akua & Team!! -

Sarah A. Sent on 09/26/2023The coordinator I didn’t know I needed!
We cannot express how deeply thankful we are for working with the Phuliffects team. From the moment we met Akua, it was evident that we were in the hands of a true professional who not only understood the details of wedding planning but also genuinely cared about making our day unforgettable.
Now, I (the bride) am naturally very organized, and planned every single detail of our wedding. So, at first, I thought we didn’t need a day-of coordinator. But one of my girlfriends reminded me that no matter how organized a person is, they can’t handle all of the many details that will crop up on the day of a wedding… And so we hired Akua who, it turns out, is not just a day-of coordinator. She took the lead months before the wedding, letting me hand off responsibilities to her and just focus on being a bride. For instance, she handled communications with all our vendors, put our timeline together, provided moral support, and so much more.
One of the most significant aspects of Akua’s work is her ability to handle unexpected challenges with grace and composure. About 90 minutes before the start of our ceremony, we decided to enjoy a private moment while sipping on two espressos. Well, my husband never got a chance to sip on his because he accidentally poured it on my dress. Yes, folks you heard right. My beautiful ivory lace gown now had shades of brown. I didn’t even panic, I just quietly said, “...please, get Akua…”. Without missing a beat, Akua removed the dress and disappeared into the bathroom. She resurfaced minutes later with a clean, dry dress for me to slip back on like nothing had happened. This quick thinking and problem-solving skills probably saved my husband’s life. LOL
We also want to acknowledge other members of the Phuliffects team, who kept everything on schedule, allowing us to relax and enjoy each moment without worrying about logistics. Their warmth and professionalism put us at ease from beginning to end. Our wedding day turned out to be a dream come true, and we owe much of that to Akua and her team. -

Ethel A. Sent on 04/24/2023Truly a Phenomenal Planner
Where do I even begin? Akua was everything we could have asked for in a wedding planner and more. She was (and is) truly phenomenal at what she does. If you're reading this, first, Congrats!, and second, you're probably starting your planning process and feeling overwhelmed. What I've learned is that there's a difference between having a competent planner/vendor and having a competent planner or vendor that is stepping in your shoes and truly has your best interests in mind. The latter is Akua! I didn't feel like just a client, but I felt as though every decision she made was with our desires, concerns, vision, in mind. As a result we completely trusted her and that was smart on our part.
Akua was there with us every step of the way in planning our 2 day Ghanaian wedding, from finding a date and venues all the way to last minute Etsy orders we decided we really needed a couple of weeks before the wedding (which she placed on my behalf). She has excellent judgment and importantly had answers to all our etiquette and general questions. She even gave me a bridal robe in prep for a last minute dress change. Akua was more budget conscious than I was which was so needed, because as the date approaches, you might start to lose common sense ha! But she learned what meant most to us and really came to know our personalities. She had good judgment on what was reasonable, what was a worthy splurge, and what was something we could do without or would regret.
During our wedding weekend, Akua and her team were so on top of everything. My family sang her praises the entire weekend and some guests asked for her contact information. The wedding timeline was insanely detailed, and the team kept everyone in good spirits. She solved issues I didn't even know existed until after the wedding- like guests arriving who hadn't RSVP'd, somehow she fixed everything. As another reviewer wrote, she didn't let me lift a finger during our special weekend and more importantly, she was integral to everything running smoothly. It's been 2 months and we still hear from guests about how fun, beautiful, and well organized our wedding was. If you are searching for someone who is going to get to know you and help you plan your wedding according to what matters most to you, look no further. We are so grateful for all that she did! -

I cannot say ENOUGH about Akua and her team. If you have not booked a day of coordinator, take this as your sign to reach out to Akua immediately!
From the very first conversation that I had with Akua, I could feel a 100 LB weight lift off of my chest. She is so knowledgeable, so accommodating, and so extremely organized. We had several issues with our venue leading up to the event, and Akua was there every single step of the way. She was there every step of the way to help us navigate planning a wedding in a pandemic / post-pandemic world. She had check-in calls with us, and asked us continuously how she can help support us to make it a seamless process. She then took over all vendor communications! This alleviated so much additional stress from us. We didn’t have to worry about whether the florist, the MUA, the hair artist, photographer knew where they needed to be when, because Akua handled it. Then she showed us this minute-to-minute break-down of how our day would look. Everything was thought of (even things, I definitely didn’t anticipate for) from flower delivery, lunch/breakfast delivery, timeframes for photos. My husband and I were so impressed. There were stressors leading up to the day (as there always are), but without Akua, I’m not sure how we would have gotten through the day.
The day of, her and her team worked in lock step, and were there for me, my husband, and our vendors. We had a ton of little items we wanted displayed in the reception, Akua’s team put these together for us and put these out for us. Again, the team kept us on time, and as a bride, I never had to worry about what was next, or where I needed to be, because Akua and her truly wonderful team, just guided us through it all.
Hands down, Phullifects was the best money we spent for our wedding day. I can’t thank them enough. In addition to their incredible work ethic, the women that make up the phullifects team are just truly incredible, empathetic, kind, and professional women.

Siani W. Sent on 07/11/2023PhuliffectsEvents is hands down the best!
I am writing this review a year after my wedding, and my husband and I are still talking about how blessed we were to hire PhuliffectsEvents. If you are still looking, you should stop and consider booking them! I recommend PhuliffectsEvents to any couple planning a wedding. My husband and I knew it was the right decision the minute we had our first consultation with Akua. Right away it felt like I was talking to a friend.
She laid everything out for us in a way that made all the stress we were originally feeling go away. We were having two weddings, American and Cambodian. While the original plan was to just have PhuliffectsEvents assist for one of the ceremonies, we ended up using them for both, and we are so glad we did. Akua understood the challenges of blending two cultures and was quick to learn the dynamics of the families. Anyone that has been a part of a blended wedding know how stressful that can be. When I tell you that Akua held my husband and I down when dealing with our over opinionated family, she literally said “at the end of the day I am here for you. What you want, is what will happen.” PhuliffectsEvents did exactly what they said they would do, and more. Akua prayed for and with us, answered every question even if it was late at night, and anything that could be taken off our plate, they handled. She even stood up for me, when I had a difficult time, expressing our wishes to the family. And after all of that, both of our wedding ceremonies was a major hit! PhuliffectsEvents was so professional, organized, and flexible. Our wedding party raved about how great it was to have them present. Even now, our family and friends are still talking about how beautiful and smooth our wedding was. I couldn’t imagine getting married with the support of anyone else. Thank you to Akua and the PhuliffectsEvents team! -

If you haven't found a wedding planner or day of coordinator yet LOOK NO FURTHER! Akua and her team are absolutely phenomenal. We were looking for someone to make sure everything was seamless on our wedding day and Akua did all of that and MORE. She was able to bring our wedding day vision to life (a vision that was so difficulty for me to put into words at times)! Akua and her team are so kind, talented, organized, and patient. We planned our wedding from another state and Akua went out of her way to visit our venue, communicate with our vendors, and even be our florist when we couldn't find one that fit into our budget. My husband and I are so thankful for Phuliffects Events team. Best decision ever!!! -

Sara H. Sent on 04/12/2022Amazing Experience!!!
Akua was amazing to work with and I would highly recommend her. I hired Akua for the Month of Management and she was involved in our wedding planning long before the final month. Throughout the entire planning process Akua was accessible for any questions that I had and for vendor recommendations. As we approached the month before my wedding, Akua stepped in and took over all communications with the vendors; creating a timeline, and ensuring that everyone would be on the same page the day of my wedding. As a type-A personality it was difficult to delegate control, but there was no one better than Akua to relinquish the control to. On the day of my wedding Akua arrived at the hotel where I was getting ready and managed all of the moving parts while ensuring I always had what I needed. Throughout the entire wedding day, either Akua or someone from her team was accessible and engaged with me and my husband. We were well taken care of. Akua and her team at Phuliffects worked seamlessly with the staff at the venue. Thank you so much for everything! Your hard work and attention to detail was appreciated by all of us. -

I booked Akua about 4 months before my wedding. I had initially been hesitant to work with a coordinator because of a poor experience I had observed with someone else’s wedding coordinator, and I felt I was handling the planning pretty well on my own. However, I’m so glad I changed my mind and booked with Akua & her team. She came highly recommended by my venue. From our very first consultation, Akua impressed me with her organization, professionalism, and just overall genuine personality. She had many prior experiences working with African weddings which was very reassuring that she knew what to expect. She was easy to talk to and share my concerns and expectations with through the entire process. At some point our meetings began to feel more like calls with a friend. As our wedding was a 2 day event, Akua came up with thorough, detailed, and most importantly, realistic timelines for each day. She communicated with all the vendors for each day to make sure everyone had the necessary information, and that no one needed to contact me about things. Our entire wedding weekend I felt so at ease knowing that Akua was on the job. She was calm, flexible and able to pivot when small hiccups in the schedule occurred. She interacted well with the bridal party, my family, and all our guests. On our actual wedding day I was shocked by how calm I felt. Even when I tried to worry about small things, Akua quickly reassured me and regularly updated me on what was going on because I like to stay informed. I have nothing but fond memories of my wedding days largely in part to how smoothly everything ran with Akua in charge. My mom and bridal party all commented on how impressed they were with her work. She regularly checked on me & my husband as well as our parents throughout the reception to make sure our needs were being met. Because of Akua, I truly believe I had the most organized and well-run, and low-stress Nigerian wedding that has every occurred. I honestly can’t wait to plan another event mostly so I can book with the Phuliffects team and work with Akua again. If you work with Akua and her team, you will absolutely not regret it! -

Impeccable Wedding Planner!!!!
Phuliffects events!!!!!! You were beyond an answer to my prayers. In my search for a wedding planner I encountered some that were not the most approachable. I literally prayed that God would help me in my search and one day she happened to be recommended to me. Not only was she recommended to me, she messaged me on IG saying, “ Your friend mentioned that you needed a wedding planner, Here I Am”. I immediately loved her from the first phone conversation. I could tell that she was committed to her brides and would go to great lengths to ensure their happiness on their big day. My initial rosey impression of her was surprisingly trumped by reality. She far exceeded my expectations. Oh my goodness, this lady did not sleep for one year and worked tirelessly to make sure all details were addressed. I would send her a text message at 1 AM expecting a response the next morning and within 20 seconds she had replied. I often wondered how she was able to give attention to her other brides because I quite literally felt that she was all mine.
I had a 2 day Nigerian wedding and on my wedding weekend, I had not a care in the world. I felt like a queen, I had to beg here to put on my own shoes. I was overwhelmed by her support. She ensured that everything went seamlessly. Everything was done in a timely fashion, and for a Nigerian wedding that is virtually unheard of. Myself and my husband are forever indebted to Akua and her team for the execution of our dream wedding. I will miss her dearly. She is not only a wedding planner, she is a friend. I 1000% recommend her. -
