I cried for weeks. What was supposed to be an eventful day for my guests turned to catastrophe. Eclectic Events failed to set up on time, failed to hire enough staff, and failed to clean up the party. And that is only the beginning of the nightmare we experienced. Not enough food for our 30 guests when we ordered food for 50...the flowers never arrived...and after crying, I was left with gossip from the party goers that I put on horrible parties. I will never believe yelp. Eclectic had to have paid people to write nice things. The party for my husbands new job and employees was just awful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

If you are looking for a person with attention to detail not only for decor, but to overlook the entire process from the contractual phase with various vendors to the finish product of ensuring an awesome and stress free evening for my husband and I and making sure the guests had a great time... Then Cindy with Eclectic Events is your planner. Cindy accompanied us throughout the entire process from meeting with vendors and making sure we weren't taken advantage of. Though all our vendors were great, the added experience of Cindy ensured a positive wedding planning experience. She covered all the minuscule details and our agenda was kept on track! From the girls hair and makeup, to the grooms haircuts, limousine pick ups, church photos, the various photographers involved, and the time schedule for the reception events including our sunset pictures, everything went off flawless! Cindy stayed in contact with us the entire wedding process. She might have drive some vendors crazy, but she knew what she was doing and looked out for us, her clients. Overall, Cindy was very professional and very gay friendly. She didn't make us feel different not once! We are grateful for kind-hearted professionals like Cindy. Her ideas and contacts are amazing! Thank you for making our evening memorable! read more

I reached out to Cindy after becoming overwhelmed with trying to plan my own wedding. As if wedding planning isn't stressful enough, the pandemic had just hit. She was so amazing and helped me plan two weddings. The first was a very small wedding ceremony in 2020 with just immediate family. The second was our larger reception in 2021. I realized there was so much to wedding planning that I wasn't aware of. But, luckily Cindy knew exactly how to prepare. She was great at communicating with all our vendors and keeping up with timelines. Our weddings ran smoothly and we were able to enjoy ourselves without having to worry about anything. Not only was Cindy amazing professionally, she was also very kind and I genuinely enjoyed her company. I would absolutely hire her again for future events. read more

I hired Cindy for my baby shower in September 2018. From the beginning of our planning in April, Cindy listened to my ideas and offered her suggestions as well. All of the vendors she suggested I use (dessert, flowers, decorations) were amazing! My princess baby shower turned out beyond my wildest dreams. I would definitely hire her again and recommend her to anyone planning an event! read more

Cindy was a great partner in helping us plan our Three Rivers wedding. She went above and beyond her role as a day-of planner and was instrumental in introducing us to vendors in the area, keeping us on-track and on schedule, and providing a can-do attitude throughout the whole process. Our wedding was set to be quite complex, but she was completely unfazed by our plans. Sadly, COVID-19 forced us to postpone our event, but I know it would have been wonderful had it taken place. She also provided a hugely thoughtful and sweet gesture on the day we had set for our wedding, contacting our favorite local restaurant and arranging for a delicious dinner delivery to our home. It was so kind and made us feel so special. While we're unsure of our future wedding plans, I would recommend Cindy without hesitation to anyone getting married or holding an event in the Central Valley. THANK YOU! read more

Cindy was hands down the best investment we made when we hired her to help plan our wedding. She was beyond helpful, knowledgeable, and so supportive of all of our needs. Brides-- do yourself a favor and hire a wedding planner (I obviously recommend Cindy 100%) --even if you think you can handle it! Cindy seriously did such an amazing job. She was very thorough - even following up with me to make sure I had written my thank you notes from my Bridal Shower!! She handled all he vendors, timelines, rehearsal practice, and I didn't have to worry about a thing on the day of the Wedding. I cannot stress enough how helpful and wonderful Cindy was. She made sure our day was perfect, and it was in so many ways. Thank you so much Cindy!!! read more

Our wedding was earlier this year, we weren't really looking for a planner until things became out of control for us and Cindy was the first person we met. Though she was not as experienced in Punjabi weddings and how elaborate and complicated they could be, she was willing and confident in helping us. So we decided to go w her! It was a very stressful process, I mean wedding planning in general is.. we had a pretty good budget but even then things were going over the roof, at times we had to directly speak to the vendors to clarify what we are getting and what we are getting charged for. But Cindy put everything together and made our wedding reception stress free for us. I would recommend her, she did a wonderful job learning our culture and making our dream come true. We wouldn't recommend doing it at the Fresno concenter center bc they just had many problems of their own, but Cindy was so helpful helping us figuring everything out! read more

I first contacted Cindy because of her business name and thought that it would be a perfect match for our daughter! Indeed, they were a PERFECT match and Cindy went above and beyond to make sure that our daughter had the perfect enchanted wedding. Even though our daughter was out of state, Cindy arranged meetings around their schedule, found the PERFECT spot and found all of our vendors. I would highly recommend Cindy for her attention to detail and how she makes your event her event. When my daughter stated that everything was more than she imagined, I can only say that Cindy is amazing! Thank you! read more

Cindy was a complete delight to work with and her interaction with the clients was perfection. As a vendor she made sure we had everything we needed and we were totally taken care of. My business (and myself personally) hope to see her again and again. It felt like we had known her for years. She always has her clients wishes at heart and her instinctive high standards are what everyone is looking for!! She takes care of things you aren't even thinking of! read more

Cindy is the BEST wedding coordinator in the valley. We got married on January 19th at first we were unsure where to have our wedding in the wintertime. Cindy was so helpful & found us the perfect spot. We showed her photos of what we had in mind for our theme (bringing the great outdoors indoors) & she made it all happen with our budget. Everybody LOVED LOVED our wedding, all the little details (guest names written on stones for seating place card, burlap draping, stones, mason jars, Manzanita, with candles & moss hearts) that we were able to do, made our special day truly magically. Cindy made sure everything was in its place, so we could be worried-free & enJOY our special day. She is professional, organized, experience, has a great eye, LISTENS to what you want & she is caring (brides this is important to have somebody who really cares) Brides or anybody having an event~ if you want to be stress-free & have a magically event then let Cindy plan it out for you, trust me I interview a few coordinators before I found Cindy, with her experience & her knowledge, I knew she was the best for us. read more

As an Executive Chef, I'm always looking for confident party planners, we have worked together on several events and Cindy is fun, innovative and has a creative way of making simple things elegant. She is my go to gal when needing a helping hand, she handles everything with ease and grace. She handles all the party needs so that I can cook! Everyone always raves about what great party! read more

I needed a quick price estimate on a corporate speaking event. Cindy was on vacation, but she still gave me a ballpark estimate. Now THAT'S service! It's obvious that Cindy cares about her work and goes above and beyond to provide excellent customer service. read more

Cindy recently helped coordinate McLane's 2006 10 year class reunion. Myself, and other classmates were part of the committee to put the reunion together. Cindy was there with us at every meeting and helped us coordinate our budget friendly event. It was our first time putting anything like this together and she was there every step of the way helping plan and putting her great experience and attaining what we needed from vendors and the venue. Cindy understood what we wanted and executed it beyond our expectations! The event was a success and we learned a lot along the way, thank you Cindy!!! read more

My husband asked me to help with his holiday office party and I could not forsee how I would have time with all of my work - and now this new task. I contact Eclectic Events 1 week before the party and Cindy (my hero) saved the day. The event was picture perfect and every guest went home with her business card as I could not have done it without her! read more

Cindy was our wedding planner for our October 2018 wedding, and she was absolutely wonderful. We are not originally from the Fresno area, so we were not entirely familiar with the area and were concerned about picking the right venue and vendors. We also had a farlirly unique theme and were concerned about finding a wedding planner that would be on board and be able to make our vision a reality while staying within a relatively conservative budget. Cindy was not only excited about our theme, but she executed it beautifully and was very conscious of our budget the entire time. She is incredibly organized and was on top of every little detail, she handled all of the vendors and timelines, and seriously took a lot of the pressure off me and my husband, not to mention she is incredibly sweet and genuinely cares about her clients. Cindy blew us away I would absolutely recommend her for all of your party planning needs! read more

We had the pleasure of working with Cindy for our wedding in April. From the beginning, Cindy was very on top of things making sure that everything on our wedding checklist got completed. By the time we reached our two week mark before the wedding, we were pretty much have everything squared away. Despite my husband and I having very busy schedules, Cindy was able to work with us to set up vendor meetings at our convenience. Her constant communication and availability through out the whole planning process has been nothing short of impressive. Her attention to detail is unmatched and her creativity has no limits. When I needed help with decoration ideas, she was the first person that I asked. If you want a wedding planner that'll go to club at midnight to check out after party venues, Cindy is it. Her drive and ambition to make sure her clients get only the best makes her the obvious choice for your future wedding. She made sure the savings were passed on to us whether it was in the form of hotel points or vendor discounts. She also made sure that vendors don't over charge us and managed all of our contracts. Cindy was a blast to work with. You won't be disappointed. read more

If you are reading this review and are looking for the best event planner EVER - congratulations, you've hit the jackpot with Cindy and her team from Eclectic Events! Before I met Cindy, I didn't think that creativity and an eye for beauty could exist strongly in someone with a high attention to detail and impeccable organization. Cindy from Eclectic Events truly blew me away in every aspect. Her events are beautiful, elegant and sophisticated without being pretentious. She makes YOU and your event her priority from the beginning to end. She's got so much experience with all types of events, and can bring ideas and insight to you that you just don't get with other planners. Her attention to detail is INCREDIBLE and she will make sure that your event is absolute perfection. Cindy is also your advocate, so when working with other vendors she is professional but always making sure that your needs and your budget are being met. I literally could not have asked for a better experience. And I received TONS of compliments on my event from friends and was told more than once that it was one of the best events that they had ever attended. If you want the event of your dreams, DO NOT HESITATE and contact Cindy at info@eclecticevents.us. You will be so glad you did! read more

Cindy turned our dream wedding into a stunning reality. We enthusiastically add another 5 stars to her glowing history of stellar reviews! Cindy intuitively understands her clients' visions and values, and works diligently to find vendors that align accordingly. She also understands her clients' ways of dealing with wedding stress, which turns out to be surprisingly important. Cindy knew how to reign us in, remind us about our next action steps, calm our fears, and offer great advice all around. Cindy is a mama bear who protects her clients and always speaks up so that at the end of the day you are getting what you want and paid for. Could NOT have found a better coordinator than Cindy. Can we talk about the wedding? It was perfect. Every detail. And Cindy even surprised us with some extra special touches (like a fairy charm for my bouquet for an extra magical day). Fairies aren't your thing? They aren't hers either. But they're mine, and she "got me," and she'll get you, too, and make your day amazing with whatever rocks your world. No cookie cutter coordinating with Eclectic Events. Back to the wedding? Seriously beautiful. We received compliment after compliment about the looks, feel, pacing, food, and MAGIC of the evening. (Since we don't like to brag, we won't tell you that we heard a lot of "this is our favorite wedding we've been to.") Stop yelping and look no further; if you found this page, you have found the BEST coordinator! read more

We needed an event planner as both families, bride and groom did not live in the Fresno area but chose a wedding site near there. The bride found Cindy and she jumped in, even working on vacation to help us find sites for all our events, arrange buses, book discounted hotel blocks, present decor ideas, make all the rental arrangements, negotiate with the vendors to get us the best deal, figure out a way to have an ice cream sundae bar at the reception etc. She promptly responded to all calls and emails, and there were many! For the five days of wedding related events, she was at everything before everyone else, arranged setup, managed cleanup and supervised the details. She even assisted with the guest bags for our hotel guests. She went above and beyond at every step, even making sure the wedding party had food while getting ready! All her involvement and hard work made it easy for the family to relax and have a truly wonderful wedding weekend! I have hired event planners in other locations and her involvement far surpassed anyone else I have ever hired. Cindy is terrific! My only regret for our event is that I didn't give her a standing ovation which she truly deserved! read more

I wish I could give Cindy 6 stars because honestly, she planned my wedding and without her it would not have happened as beautifully or as easily (for me) as it did. I found her company through a Yelp search and was impressed to see all the rave reviews. I knew I wanted a very elegant, upscale look but wasn't sure how to achieve it and had heard horror stories of friends and their wedding planners. I was initially out of town living in LA with a wedding to plan in less than 3 months in Fresno so that was a challenge enough! When I got in touch with her, right away I could tell she knew the business of wedding/party planning. Being unfamiliar with the area, I was so incredibly thankful to have found her. She was able to schedule appointments with excellent vendors, plan both main events for my "big fat SouthAsian/Pakistani wedding" and basically plan for every minute detail that I did not even realize existed! My family and I were truly amazed with how she handled everything so capably and with such dedication. I have to say, the fact that she was able to smoothly plan a SouthAsian wedding (in under 3 months!) and understand all the nuances of it without breaking a sweat was impressive. She is truly the kind of person who will make sure everything gets done right and puts 110% effort into it all; her work ethic is AMAZING. Of course, the end result was a stunning wedding and wonderful day that myself, my family, and guests were all delighted to partake in. And to that end, several of them requested her business card and even voiced their admiration in person to me and my parents. I would recommend her to anyone planning an event in a heartbeat. Thank you Cindy!! You have no idea how much I appreciated all your amazing work! read more
