I probably only provided Eric about 12 images in total for my vision board and instructions to go wild. Well, Eric took that and ran into an amazing direction. He completely stunned my husband and I with his initial boards, presenting ideas for the ceremony & reception that were a sea of blush & gold. The designs were everything I wanted, but couldn't imagine on my own. The day of the wedding was an absolute breeze with Eric and his 'Angels' by our side. My advice to future brides - just trust in the process and let Eric do his thing. He'll ensure that everything occurs and is set up in the proper manner, and will take care of any fire drills without you even knowing of them. I was definitely one of those brides that had to learn to 'let go' - but had such a stress-free wedding day once I did. So my piece of advice to brides who book Eric...just get the whole package. Trust him. Let him do his thing. And you'll have the wedding of your dreams and the most easy-going wedding day every bride dreams of having.

When writing this review, it is hard not to get emotional. I proposed to my wife in May at the…read morebeginning of the pandemic. We first spoke to Barbie a month later. The first available date in 2021 was in April where Comber Hall and our church were available. Barbie gave us some initial ideas and we assembled a rough contract. Barbie put up with my constant worries about the pandemic and whether our wedding would be the wedding my wife deserved. The guest list constantly changed, which altered our amenities at the reception. Barbie never took issue with this, and was always agreeable to changes we wanted to make. In December, we tasted the food and cake, decided on tables, chairs, silverware, linens, and flowers. Barbie was wonderful in providing us all the different options and giving us her recommendations. As you can imagine with the initial distribution of vaccines starting in December, January through March was extremely hectic with respect to our guest count. Barbie, as always, was extremely patient with us and worked with us on all the changes. In the few weeks leading up to the wedding, Barbie took over coordination with our vendors: photographer/videographer, saxophone player for cocktail hour, and Salty Donut (party favor). By the time of the wedding, we were set to have about 100 people. We got married at the Church of the Little Flower, right next door to Comber Hall. Because Barbie has such a good relationship with our church, she attended our rehearsal the day prior. She didn't have to, but she did because she wanted to do everything in her power to make sure we had the perfect wedding day. Before the ceremony began, Barbie was in the church helping the groomsmen and fathers with their boutonnieres. She worked with the photographer and videographer on getting all the pictures I wanted before the ceremony. My wife got ready at the Biltmore Hotel down the street. When the ceremony was over, Barbie's focus was completely on us, making sure we got all the photos we wanted. We had our cocktail hour on the first floor of Comber Hall. During cocktail hour and after all our pictures in the church and outside were complete, Barbie took us to the second floor where the reception would take place so we could see it. We were greeted with a welcome drink (mojito) and hors d'oeuvres. Here are our comments with the various components of the reception. 1) Music. The DJ (UBIS Music & Lighting) was fantastic. Our reception started around 4:30 and ended at 10:30. The dancing began at around 6:15. People danced the whole night. We provided the DJ with a few must play songs and let him run with the rest of it. 2) Percussionist - La Hora Loca. THIS IS A MUST. This was the best 30 minutes of the reception. I completely recommend it. Everyone was having so much fun with the party light sticks. The percussionist had me and my wife playing the drums. My dad was even shaking a morocco. There are tons of videos now of us having the best time with our closest family and friends. I will cherish that memory forever. 3) The food. This is A Fancy Fiesta's staple. The hors d'oeuvres were incredible. For dinner, we had churrasco steak or chicken with a mango salsa. We even had a mushroom tower vegetarian option. We also had chicken fingers for kids. Barbie also provided 3 highchairs for the smaller children. We loved the food when we tried it months prior. But the guests raved to us about the food, and frankly we are still hearing about the food. Around 9:00 pm, we had cubanitos brought out with plantain chips for those that needed a late-night bite. 4) Tables and Flowers. Barbie knew just how to make my wife's image--of how she wanted everything to look--come to life. Everyone has their own preference, but I was in awe of how beautiful the flowers and tables looked. 5) Market Lights. Because our guest count was a little lower than what we expected, we added the Market Lights. If you're interested, ask Barbie to show you a picture of how it looked. IT WAS GORGEOUS. At one point, I was on the fence about whether to add the market lights since many of the photographs were going to be taken when the sun was still out. But even in the daylight, it was beautiful. It put the ambience of the reception on another level. 6) Cake. Barbie uses Edda's for the cake. We did a semi-naked vanilla rum cake. It was gorgeous. Once again, our guests said the cake was absolutely delicious. Not very many days in life are perfect. It was perfect for me because I married my best friend. Barbie was an integral part of making sure our wedding reception matched my feelings. I cannot thank her and A Fancy Fiesta enough.

It isn't just about the quality of their service but the care they put into getting everything exactly right. As someone that works in customer service, they are amazing! Barbie was always responsive to all of our communication and went out of her way to find solutions when issues came up. I would say the best thing for us was how amazing the staff were the day of the wedding. We did and had to worry about absolutely nothing. We were told what to do and when according to the schedule we worked on and the night was perfect. I can't stress how much we appreciated the work and care they put into making our wedding day perfect. Would recommend Fancy Fiesta to all of our friends without hesitation.

She was able to coordinate different vendors and provide the dream wedding my friend dreamed of and certainly deserved! The house chef prepared the meals which featured several proteins, vegetables and starches but the pasta station was my personal favourite. The chef was very involved and would stop at guest tables to ensure they were enjoying the meal. The level of service was impressive and I would 100% recommend!

Sara's kind, creative and stress free personality was fundamental to the wedding planning process during the days approaching the wedding, and during the day of the wedding. My husband and I don't know how we could have managed the whole day without her! As the wedding approached, I was starting a new job, and became overwhelmed with all the things that I had left to do. Sara came in to the rescue. She was very flexible and accommodated to my hectic schedule always greeting me with a big smile and a desire to help me. She also has a great taste, and very high standards so it was nice to count with her opinion about the decoration and the layout of the ballroom. I felt relieved to know that during the wedding day she would be there making sure everything is where is supposed to be. With an assertive, but friendly, personality I knew she was the perfect person to lookout for me during the wedding day. Her friendly personality was also perfect to act as the liaison between me and my wedding vendors team and my guests. During the day of the wedding, Sara was more like a member of the family. She went the extra mile to make sure I was enjoying the day. She told me where to go, what do do, and I did not have to worry about anything. She even had the initiative to create a throwing bouquet (from another floral arrangement) when she realized we were missing the throwing bouquet we purchased (it remains a mystery where the throw bouquet was). I didn't even realize this had happened until after the wedding! This gives you an idea of how perfect she will try to make your day. I recommend Sara highly. My husband and I cannot thank her enough for making our day as perfect as it was.

Working with Diana at Table Catering was an AMAZING, 5-Star experience…read more To start, she was very responsive via text, while providing helpful recommendations on menu options that worked with our budget. When it was time for Diana to come to our 12-person bachelorette party airbnb on a Friday night, she brought the most authentic tasting Cuban food! And that's coming from the many Cuban girls we had at our event who said it was top tier in terms of flavor and quality. We also had the pleasure of having Diana come back to our airbnb Sunday for a late brunch, which was so easy and convenient compared to managing two separate vendors! She made us the most perfect, aesthetic charcuterie board - and she even went OUT OF HER WAY to bring us Cuban pastries from a local bakery that she personally loved. Once again - everything was incredible! And is that all? No! Diana EVEN allowed us to ship a gift to her personal address before the event, as it wasn't going to arrive on time. That was so helpful, kind, and a HUGE help. It just shows that Diana will truly go out of her way to make sure you have the best experience possible with no hassle or stress - just yummy food at a wonderful price! Don't book one of those giant catering companies. Work with Diana's local, small business - and have the most custom, personalized experience you could imagine. When I am in Miami again - or if I ever have friends that need catering recommendations - I would absolutely point them to Diana. No questions asked!
