    My dream wedding

    Carine and the Spectacular Affairs team made my dreams come true from the beginning of the wedding planning to the day of. From the first meeting Carine gave great guidance and helpful advice to make my vision come to light. Carine planned a spectacular bridal shower that blew me away and then topped it off a fabulous wedding surprise backdrop and custom dance floor. Carine not only held my hand each step of the way but kept me calm during the process. My wedding & bridal showe is still the talk of the town thanks to this amazing team. I could not have asked for a better team to execute this special time in my life!

    Carine and Farrah were amazing to work with! They are very dedicated, humble, and creative wedding planners that supported my husband and I throughout our entire wedding process. We can truly say these two women have become part of our family. We highly recommend their services to anyone! They are the best!

    My daughter Shannon was turning 16 and I knew I wanted an event planner that would make her day truly special. And Spectacular Affairs was just the event planner that I needed. They had great ideas and helped my daughter come up with a theme for her party. Carine Saint Jean and her staff showed incredible professionalism and coordinated their efforts efficiently. They showed great care to my daughter's guests and catered to their every need. Their attention to every detail was Immaculate from the catering to the decorations to the music selection. Everything was well presented. All the guests had a great time and enjoyed the festivities. My daughter loved all the hard work and effort that went into making her night special and she truly appreciated it. I can't think carine Saint Jean and the great staff at spectacular affairs enough for making it a night to remember. They did a spectacular job.

    Spectacular Affairs's reply:

    Thank you Rick for this amazing review your daughter deserved the best. 16 is an amazing age and to see her and her friends having a blast made us proud. Thank you for trusting us with your special day. 9/10/16

    If you want a beautiful, worry free wedding book Spectacular Affairs! When I got engaged some of my married friends warned me how stressful planning a wedding can be....But Carine and her staff at Spectacular Affairs made planning my wedding a joy. They are so professional and knowledgeable. I don't think my wedding would be as half as wonderful and as memorable without them. My Friends and Family are still raving about my wedding and how beautiful and unique it was. They gave me ideas I would have never come up with on my own. Things I never read in any bridal books. They are so innovative. I've already recommended Spectacular Affairs to a colleague who just got engaged. Wonderful team. I highly recommend them! Spectacular Affairs you are awesome!

    Spectacular Affairs's reply:

    Love and appreciate this review! Loved working with you two and loved your open mind and ability to see the vision for your fabulous wedding.
    All the best to you love birds!

    Working with Spectacular Affairs has been by far one of the best experiences that I've ever had. As a Baltimore native, I traveled to New York in search of the perfect wedding gown. A trip that was arranged by this dynamic duo, Farah and Carine truly catered to my needs. They provided a sense of comfort and reassurance that all brides deserve. Needless to say, I found the most amazing wedding dress within a matter of hours....AND it was also below my budget!!!! Because of the their attention to detail, expertise and professionalism I had a spectacular time, finding a spectacular dress!!!

    Spectacular Affairs's reply:

    My Dearest Nzinga it was a great pleasure to help you through this very important process--selecting and purchasing your wedding gown! You deserve the best and we are happy that we've provided such a memorable experience for you. Thank you for trusting us! Love you and best wishes on your special day! Spectacularly Yours, Farah xo

    Working with Carine and the whole Spectacular Affair team was exceptional. From the start when I met Carine for our first meeting to start the planning process, I felt very comfortable and at ease. She made me feel like the process would be smooth and it was. My husband and I could not have asked for a more understanding and caring planner. She helped with every aspect of planning our big day. She was very hands on with helping my husband and I make decision and made sure we got the best vendors for our spectacular day. Friends and family who came to the wedding still compliment us on how great of a wedding we had. That would never been possible without Spectacular Affairs.

    Spectacular Affairs's reply:

    Thank you so much for allowing us to plan your Spectacular wedding! You really were a dream to work with and it was an honor working with you and your husband. Hope to be your life events planner! Blessings❤️

    Absolutely AMAZING!!!!I initially worked with Farah for my wedding in Maryland this past March.She was so professional, personable, and knowledgeable. There was NEVER a time I had to email her for next steps.She always kept me abreast of where I was/needed to be in the planning process.Anytime I had a question or concern she always got back to me immediately with a detailed response of my inquiry.She worked within my budget and even presented me with a live mock up of their vision which was incredible.The week of my wedding the entire team worked diligently putting together florals and preparing for the overall wedding.They even booked several rooms at the hotel where my wedding was held and worked day and night making sure everything was perfect.The day of was like a fairytale.The decor,florals, and overall timeline of events was pure perfection!!!!The team was very helpful/attentive rime and my huabands needs.They were an absolute pleasure to work with.The price was amazing and the service cannot even be put into words.They should change their name to BEYOND SPECTACULAR AFFAIRS because they are the BEST!!!!

    Spectacular affairs is the way to go. Everything I needed they took care of it. I was happy, my guests were happy. I couldn't done it without them

    Spectacular Affairs's reply:

    It was wonderful working with you on your Grand opening and ribbon cutting ceremony in Texas! We enjoyed creating your invitations, writing your press release and getting you press coverage. Making over your waiting room and office and giving your guest a fabulous red carpet photo opportunity were some of the highlight and talk of the beautiful event. You were a joy to work with and we would gladly fly out for future projects with Mercy Dental. Congratulations on your inevitable success!

    We were lucky to have the support of Carine for our wedding on 08/30/15. She was very great and helpful to us with all our planning needs. She helped us with everything from the Menu selection to the floral arrangement. She was available whenever we needed her help with a question or needed her opinion on anything regarding our wedding.

    She did the decoration for our rehearsal dinner which was very beautiful. She decorated the church for our wedding ceremony, the decoration was Spectacular, all the guest were commenting on how beautiful it looks. She also did our rehearsal and coordination for the ceremony.

    Her professionalism, dedication and passion really shows in her creative work. Thank you for all your hard work and support for our wedding, we could not have done it without your professional help. We would recommend Spectacular Affairs for all your wedding and party planning needs.

    Sherine and Donald

    Spectacular Affairs's reply:

    Sherine and Donald thank you for trusting our expertise and allowing us to make your big day Spectacular! We love that you were satisfied with our work and we appreciate you for this raving review. You are a beautiful couple and it was a joy working with you. We wish you a lifetime of marital bliss. xoxo

    Let me first and foremost say Specatular Affairs is just that... Specatular! They turn my husband and I wedding dream into a reality! My wedding was turning into a disaster from one disaster to another. Our wedding programs were way to small they were able to redesign them in two days and make them better than my original idea, my floral arrangements were not looking to good they came in and worked with my florist to get exactly what I wanted. My wedding was a destination wedding and that didn't stop them they came from NY to TX to make my wedding truly amazing.

    These ladies go above and beyond to make your wedding Specatular, I am so grantful for them, they are truly the wedding planners of the century!!

    I wanted to give my daughter a special graduation dinner that she, her family and friends will always remember, something she would reflect on when she's older and married with children, something she could share with her own children. The theme was "Lights, Camera, Action!"--A Hollywood theme. Spectular Affairs vision was on point! They created a magical moment. The decor, arrangement, backdrop, and food were superb!!! From the Repeat Step/Red Carpet to the song, "Shine Bright like a Diamond" to the shimmering pieces to the Hollywood Pictures of popular Movie Stars/Actors to the diamonds on the table, which was fabulously decorated to the Star (diamond shape) Red Cake, and lots more. The Hall was turned into a Hollywood Fame!!! It was that perfect "WOW" Factor. Additionally, the Staff are wonderful people to work with! SPECTACULAR AFFAIRS IS THE WAY TO GO...They have my Vote!!!!! I would absolutely recommend Spectacular Affairs to my family, friends, and colleagues.

    Spectacular Affairs's reply:

    We are so proud of your beautiful daughter for accomplishing this great milestone of graduation. You had a great theme and we took it to the next level of a sophisticated Hollywood gala. It was a pleasure working with you and we look forward to doing more of your events with you and your beautiful family. Thank you for your raving review!!!

    Spectacularly yours

    My daughter had an amazing day due to Spectacular Affairs. They were creative, flexible, patient, timely, and pleasant to work with. My daughter will never forget how awesome her sweet 16 was. The guest had a good time and they made my daughter feel like she was a celebrity on the red carpet! They will definitely be hired for my 40th birthday celebration!

    Spectacular Affairs's reply:

    It was such a joy and privilege to plan the birthday of your lovely daughter. We are happy we helped make her day special. She's a gem and definitely deserved star treatment. As her theme song that night "diamond" she shined! Looking forward to planning your 40th ! Thank you for trusting us with your important life celebrations. xo

    Carine did a wonderful job coordinating my wedding on 10/13/13! She and he team were amazing and she was fabulous leading up to the day. Truthfully I have no idea what she did on the day of the wedding - I only saw her on and off throughout the night - but that is the probably the highest compliment I can give her because I did almost nothing and the event unfolded like an absolute dream! We had lots of little special components to the wedding and Carine worked seamlessly with our venue to execute each thing perfectly - flawlessly! My husband and I were so happy we chose her to help us with this very special day in our lives and we definitely recommend Spectacular Affairs to anyone looking for Day -Of Event Coordination....I don't know how we would have done it without her and her team!

    Spectacular Affairs's reply:

    Thank you for this wonderful review Diana! You were a dream bride to work with and truly trusted me and my team to do what we promised we would do. You and your handsome groom were picture perfect and so was your wedding. Thanks again for allowing us to share in your most special day.
    Spectacularly yours,
    Carine

    I had the pleasure of having Carine from Spectacular Affairs coordinate my wedding this past July. Carine and her assistant were responsive, organized and pleasant to work with. You often hear that things will always go wrong the day of your wedding....when the very sight of trouble reared it's head, Carine was there to troubleshoot, assured me everything would be fine and was keen to anticipate my every need. She exhibited perfect calm and focus through the entire day and displayed a perfect level of ]professionalism.

    Spectacular Affairs is exactly what a bride needs through the wedding planning process up until the day.

    A special thanks to Carine and her team for helping to make my big day smooth and memorable.

    Spectacular Affairs's reply:

    My Fashionista Bride!
    It was an honor to work with you and your handsome hubby! You have wonderful style and your wedding was simply Spectacular!

    The entire Spectacular Affairs team was amazing from start to finish. I was completely at ease knowing that every specific detail I wanted for my special day would be carried out to perfection. Carine and her team went above and beyond, far exceeding my very high expectations. The attention to detail, level of professionalism, and eye for beauty and taste were invaluable. I didn't have to worry about a single thing. She helped make my vision a reality. I was able to completely relax and enjoy the day and each moment because I knew Carine and her team would take care of everything. THANK YOU!!
