Nora was the best decision my now husband and I picked. We got married at the Fern Forest Nature Center. If you will be getting married at a Broward County park I would especially make sure you hire her. She is very knowledgeable and asks the questions I wouldn’t know what to ask the parks. It is also important that all vendors are on the vendor county list and Nora is consistently on that list. My husband and I were very hands on and did a DIY wedding. Our venue just came as is, so we had to hire everyone and make things ourselves. We hired Nora to help us month of our wedding. We were very clear on what we needed since we were doing a lower budget wedding. She was able to work with our budget and I made sure she let us know if we needed to compensate her anymore if we went beyond her services. I would periodically message her to let her know if there were updates to vendors. Nora responded to us very quick. When the month of our wedding came, Nora had her game face on and was on our wedding! She was incredible helpful. I have some family members that only speak Spanish and she was able to communicate with them which was a big plus. Also, her team is extremely professional! Flor, her assistant was talking to me before I walked down the aisle which made me feel calm and ready.
Nora helped us out when our flowers didn’t come through and our flowers and my bouquet were more than I ever thought I could have ever imagined. I think everyone took our centerpieces!
She really has our backs and made sure we enjoyed our day. I actually got to eat and was full! Everyone in my family is still talking about how fun and beautiful the wedding was. I will be forever grateful for the amazing wedding we had. Thanks Nora!Wedding Masters by Nora's reply:
Isa and Dennis, I will surely miss our meetings and conversations. You looked so beautiful and happy to marry your best friend. Please don't hesitate to call for future life events. Thank you so much for your post wedding note, I really appreciate you taking time out of your busy schedules to show your appreciation. Nora -
User1139225 Sent on 04/20/2013I am getting married in November 2013 and attended a wedding at the Tuckahoe Mansion in Stuart Florida on April 07, 2013 and would like to say that I was extremely impressed with my Wedding Planner Nora.
I was a little hesitant at first. We (Nora and I) met from a mutual associate who could not stop bragging about Nora's abilities as a Wedding Planner. I thought that she was too good to be true. She had the answers to all my questions and she made me laugh because she would have most of the questions and answers to them before I even asked. Being the skeptic that I am I was still hesitant. I had asked her about her qualifications as a Planner and they seemed quite impressive. I contacted a few of her previous brides for references after Nora asked them for permission. They all said they were very happy with Nora and one even stated that the stress of planning her wedding made her curse several times at Nora. The girl admitted to being very high strung and after the wedding she realized that it wasn't Nora, it was her own impatience and control issues. She said the wedding went off perfectly just as Nora had tried to convince her many times before. She said she still hasn't had the courage to apologize but she said she eventually will. When I heard this I had a whole new outlook. I probably would have told that girl to go and shove it but it convinced me that Nora is a real trooper and an upright and honest person. After all my detective work I still wanted to see for myself what she could do. I guess fate played a role and I attended a real wedding that Nora was working.
Nora would only say that this wedding was a real challenge with alot of different personalities changing alot of things and she tried to be as accommodating as possible but she would not elaborate only saying that the wedding went off without a hitch. I don't know exactly what she was talking about except the fact she coordinated everything from the ceremony to the last dance extremely well. -

Haley Sent on 03/31/2012Where do I begin... Nora was absolutely A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.!!! She went well above and beyond again and again for me and I can't thank her enough. I hired her as my day-of coordinator only, but I feel like she was my full wedding planner. She was always available to answer the millions of questions I asked of her, she had tons of excellent advice to offer me, and she was simply a pleasure to work with. She was so kind and understanding and really came through when I needed her. For example, a few days before the wedding I was stressing and running around like crazy, so rather than ask me to bring all my wedding stuff to her office, she drove out to my house to pick it up to make it easier on me. I feel like she went above and beyond because I certainly did not pay her a lot to do what she did, and I will be forever grateful. My husband and I paid for our own wedding, and she was very understanding that finances were a little difficult for us. She made every effort to give me the best price she could for her services, but also helped me find some great vendors to help save me money without sacrificing quality. Additionally, Nora definitely knows her stuff and knows a lot of people in the business, so if you can go with her vendors and hire her for the whole package, do it. I ended up hiring a few vendors on my own, but then later found out that they work with Nora and could have offered me a better deal had I gone through her. She also works for the catering company Americaters. I did my catering through them which was equally amazing, but it was great to be able to work with Nora on that end as well. She really worked with me and helped me negotiate a good price for my catering, and in the end the food was amazing and the service was very professional. I really felt like Nora was on my side throughout the whole process, helping me to negotiate with vendors and get the best deal and the best quality service.
As for the wedding itself, it went off without a hitch thanks to Nora. She ran the show like a pro. The wedding was at the Deering Estate which is a really complicated high-end venue because you have to bring in all the vendors on your own, but Nora really knows the place well and knows the logistics of how to make the event run smoothly. I didn't have to worry about a thing the day of my wedding because Nora had it completely under control the whole time.
There is literally not one point of criticism I have for Nora. If you are looking for a wedding coordinator you can TRUST, who will do an incredible job, and who will also give you a great, honest price, Nora is it. My wedding was hands down the best day of my life, and I genuinely have Nora to thank for making that possible. -

We met Nora while visiting a venue where she was setting up for another wedding. She took a few minutes to converse with us and gave us her card. We gave her a call and scheduled a consultation. She was very accommodating due to my husband being in the Navy. We signed with Wedding Masters over a year in advance to our desired wedding date. Nora kept in touch and was flexible with scheduling meetings with vendors and phone conferences. She even gave us a military discount. Fast forward to a few months before the wedding, my husband and I decided we wanted to change the caterer that she provided for us. Although it was VERY LAST MINUTE, Nora was extremely accommodating. She refunded the money that was allocated to the previous caterer and worked with the new company seemelssly.
At the wedding there was a misunderstanding between the bartender before the wedding started due to a family member. The bartender starting giving guests drinks before the wedding even started so we ended up getting close to running out of drinks by mid cocktail hour. The next steps were not proactive as a planner and I wish me and husband would’ve been left out of it. Instead of resolving the issue, my husband was told that this wouldn’t have happened if she had taken care of the drinks. Which might have been true but it’s not going to help the situation. My father in law left in the middle of the wedding to get the liquor.
My only concerns with Wedding Masters and the outcome of my wedding was the DJ that was provided- which is part of Nora’s team, Omega Events Miami. We were contacted within a month till the wedding and we completed everything that was given to us, provided playlists, and detailed explanations of what we wanted in writing. One factor that really meant a lot to me was having the father/ daughter dance song play for a while and then the emcee would get on the mic and have the other fathers and daughters that were attending, join the bride and father on the dance floor. And then the same would happen with the mother/son dance. Well, that never happened. After my dance with my dad, I had to approach them and tell them to do what I asked. I asked them to fix it by having all father, daughters, mothers, sons go on the dance floor post mother/son dance. I know this isn’t a HUGE deal but it meant a lot to me and I explained it all in detail in the paperwork they sent to me and which they also had at the wedding. The company also did not play the playlist we provided for the cocktail hour. Not to mention the microphone kept going out while the best man was speaking.
A few days after the wedding I reached out to Nora thanking her for her work and she sent me an explanation on how the microphone going out was the venues fault not Omega’s. I felt like the response was not very personable considering we had been in conversation for about a year prior and i wasn’t the quintessential bridezilla at all throughout the process.
At the end of the night the wedding was beautiful and everyone had a good time and that’s what I cared about. If I could change one thing, it would have been getting a different DJ. -
User1460921 Sent on 12/03/2013Nora is great at what she does!! If you are hesitant about hiring her as a planner go for it. The only issue I had is I wanted an itemized list but never recieved it. She is great about taking you vision and making it come to life just make sure to voice your wants and stick to it. Just make sure that you get everything in writing and pay attention to the contract. We used some of the vendors Nora recommended (Cake, Flowers, Dj, Lighting, linens). She brought everything together and everything the day of ran smoothly. -
User1131192 Sent on 04/10/2013I would hands down recommend Absolutely Fabulous Weddings for "day of coordination". Lot's of things we could not have predicted happened the day of and Nora stepped up to the plate and was a great problem solver. At the end of the day, she helped things run smoothly.
Now...If you are expecting services like keeping track of vendors hired outside of the contracted package, expense sheet updates, things to do or have list, make sure you mention that during your consultation otherwise it won't happen.
I do however appreciate that Absolutely Fabulous Weddings found a beautiful wedding venue for me. As a destination wedding bride, I had a hard time finding options that fit in my price range and Nora was able to suggest a fabulous location that fit us perfectly. -
User1113596 Sent on 03/19/2013My mom is not just now coming ‘on board’ with this experience!! She has been a part of this the whole time. My mom and dad paid for the venue, my mom was there WITH NORA, me, my sister, my brother and my future brother in law to do a walkthrough of the venue, my mom has been at nearly all of the meetings, my mom is making the cake for the wedding, my mom is doing the dessert table, my mom HAS CATERED FOR NORAS PREVIOUS WEDDINGS BEFORE! My parents have gone above and BEYOND to make this day special, so how dare she make my mom feel like she hasn’t been ‘on board’. Screw you Nora. AND OBVIOUSLY my sister, and her fiancé are going to make changes to certain things…it is after all THEIR wedding. EVERYONE who is getting married makes changes to their wedding. The wedding is in less than a month and Nora is JUST NOW deciding to try and get all of her ducks in a row. I am furious right now writing this, and hope I can keep my cool on the wedding day. I want nothing more than for my sister’s day to be amazing and memorable…if Nora pulls any of her sketchy little stunts that day I will not be to shy to pull her aside and tell her how I really am feeling. My sister, her fiancé, and our family has basically planed this entire wedding. My sister and future brother in law are basically paying Nora to make their lives a living hell. I will be sure to post something after the wedding in April to update all of you brides about if the actual wedding went smoothly or not. But in the mean time, PLEASE DO NOT HIRE NORA…THIS IS MY ADVICE TO ALL COUPLE GETTING MARRIED! SAVE YOURSELF THE STRESS!!!
