The next day most of them were dead. I called for them to correct this and they said they would send her another bouquet, but they never did. I am extremely disappointed in this service and lack of follow through. It was a lot of money for old flowers and lack of fulfilling my gift to my friend. I am sorry to do this, but I am very upset about this service when I payed over 100$.

This review is long overdue! I had the pleasure of having Niangi as my wedding planner for my…read moreAugust 2019 wedding. Without her by my side, I really don't know how it would have all came together. Niangi is passionate about her work as a planner. She has an eye for design, is very forthright and honest about what is doable under the set budget, and will be as flexible as possible to make everything just as you want it to be on your special day. For me, I wanted to have a large scale wedding (about 275 people) at the lowest cost possible. This was not an easy task! Planning can be very stressful, but Niangi stepped up and took care of finding and booking rentals and vendors based on our needs. Her ability to connect and network with others in the wedding industry helped me find an affordable photo booth, caterer, mariachi, and rental company. Niangi also walked me through the design aspect, and we came up with a color scheme that was simple, beautiful, and affordable (lots of natural greens and whites). I think it is Niangi's passion and drive that makes her a wonderful choice as a wedding planner. She makes things happen and always makes herself available to her clients. I also really appreciate all the times she came to me with solutions and how quick she was on her feet. For example, on my wedding night the margarita machine that we rented for the bar broke down. She was quick to round up the bartenders and update to the drink menu. Soon enough, my guests were drinking "the best" strawberry margaritas they've ever had lol. I appreciated the quick problem solving, and the fact I didn't notice a thing! My wedding day was beautiful, and our guests had a wonderful time. Most importantly, from start to finish, the planning and execution of my wedding was smooth and easy. I know I couldn't have done this without Niangi's experience and expertise as a wedding planner! If you are looking for someone to help you plan your wedding, I recommend reaching out to Niangi to see if she is a good fit for you too.

Our experience with Niangi and Alore Vaye started off promising when we hired her nine months…read morebefore our wedding. She appeared confident and assured us she could handle all our requests. She impressed us with her organization skills, using detailed Excel sheets to manage timelines, vendors, and shopping lists. Niangi accompanied us to tour our venue, caterer tastings, and even joined us to recreate a favorite drink with our bartender. However, our optimism quickly faded on the actual day of our wedding. During our ceremony, Niangi seemed overwhelmed and stressed, which unfortunately reflected in her work throughout the day. Details we had meticulously planned were overlooked. Despite discussing and agreeing on family seating arrangements the night before, Niangi's oversight led to our families being placed on the wrong sides. This forced us into an awkward last-minute adjustment coming down the aisle. The most heartbreaking moment came when we discovered the memorial piece to be placed on a seat to honor my wife's late grandmother was missing. Niangi couldn't find it and decided to move forward with us walking down the aisle with it missing, without our approval. Moving to the reception, her team was running behind and the lack of coordination became apparent. We faced issues like guests waiting in their cars due to a closed gate that her team neglected to open promptly. Once inside, guests were left without direction or welcoming. There was confusion about when guests could enter and enjoy the games we had out. When it was time for our grand entrance, guests were scattered, contrary to our planned two-line formation with champagne glasses for a toast. Niangi failed to instruct guests or ensure they had their glasses in hand, resulting in us not being able to do our grand entrance toast. Remnants from our lunch ceremony were still left out when reception guests arrived, a testament to the lack of cleanup and preparation. Additionally, despite our efforts in purchasing decorations like pool decorations with floating boards, none of it was set up. Because of Niangi's late arrival on rental delivery day, we ended up with wrong or janky items. If she had been there to do a quality check, we wouldn't have been charged for the subpar items. Several of our friends and family members reported instances where Niangi displayed a dismissive and unprofessional attitude when approached for assistance. It was disheartening to hear these comments from our loved ones, especially since we had entrusted her with such an important day. Upon returning from our honeymoon, we received feedback from multiple guests about the disorganization and unprofessional conduct at our wedding. This feedback was embarrassing for us, as we had hoped for a seamless and memorable celebration. Despite Niangi's team, particularly the bartender Renee, receiving praise for their kindness and attentiveness, it does not overshadow the overall disappointment we feel. Niangi overpromised, underdelivered, and overcharged. We feel obligated to share our experience to caution future couples.

If you're looking for someone who can handle wedding planning like a Zen master juggling flaming…read moretorches, hire Mae. From the very first moment we met with her, we were both enchanted by the charm of her beautifully peaceful calm demeanor. She immediately made us feel at ease and confident that we were in the best possible hands. From the very beginning, she took our slightly unusual requests (minimal decor, natural beauty, somehow on the beach and in the forest at the same time) and found us a venue so perfect it still feels like a dream. We didn't just get nice views, we got a place where the ocean and the trees literally met. Mae handled everything: vendor coordination, scheduling, payments, deposits, communication, all without us having to lift more than an occasional pen. She kept our budget on point and never tried to push extras we didn't want, but she also spoke up when a choice might backfire. That honesty saved us from more than a few bad calls. The standout moment for us was right before the wedding when our dog boarding caretaker threatened to have our puppy picked up for "aggression" (spoiler: the dog was just being a puppy). Without missing a beat, Mae stepped in, de-escalated the whole thing, and made sure our furry family member was safe and cared for, all while keeping wedding prep running smoothly. That kind of problem-solving under pressure is priceless. Beyond her skillset, Mae is just a genuinely beautiful person, calm, sweet, warm, loving, and somehow able to keep us calm during what could have been a very stressful process. Thanks to her, our wedding wasn't just organized, it was the absolute best day of our lives. We feel forever attached to her and can't imagine our wedding without her. If she's available for your date, book her. You'll be grateful you did.

It's an intimate business to officiate a couple, especially one that isn't familiar with the couple, and we didn't take it lightly as we prioritized the ceremony most of all. Rick helped us through building a ceremony, and he gave us so much warmth throughout the process. On the wedding day, he visited each of us privately and checked in. During the ceremony, he led it with such grace and clarity. Two months later, as I watched the ceremony video, I realized with even more clarity all that he did so wonderfully. I highly recommend him to any couple looking for an officiant. We are so very thankful.

Rev.Tan service's were pretty straightforward and given our wedding plans changing significantly due to COVID we still needed someone to officiate for our party of 11. The idea of crafting a wedding ceremony seems a bit daunting but they share a great program that helps the couple craft the perfect ceremony unique to them. I found the program to be easy to use and so helpful in mapping out the narrative. I felt super confident going into our ceremony having reviewed the script beforehand. There were no surprises. Rev. Tan was readily available in the lead up to the day with some tips on the order of the readings and even gave us some pointers on crafting our personal vows. I especially appreciate him respecting our request to wear a face mask during our event. It's little details that really resonated with me given the times. He took care of our marriage license, sent us an image of the signed doc, and mailed it off to the county. Overall, I was so pleased with the ease of his service. I do hope to take him up on his offer for coffee one day when the world settles down a bit. Forever grateful he officiated our micro wedding!

My wife and I began to plan our wedding 14 months ago, we are the type that like to be very prepared, everything up to date, all aspects considered and details handled. We were looking for someone with the same mentality and ability to get things done. We interviewed with a few other coordinators about 6 months ago leading up to our selection of Carolyn. Carolyn was different - we could tell that she knew what she was doing and wasn't going to bore us with repeated questionnaires and minute details. I distinctly remember her saying "You shouldn't have to worry about anything the day of, things WILL go wrong, but it's my job to make sure its handled" - this is what sold me on her. Carolyn was easy to talk to via email, calls, texts and in person meetings. We had a lot of vendors so it definitely wasn't an easy task for her, but she kept up with everything Venue, photographer, caterer, DJ/photobooth, party rentals....all handled without a hitch. Our wedding went smooth and everyone had a great time. She knew our vision and was able to take the truckloads of decorations, props and family sentimental items and knew exactly how and where to place everything.
