After searching, meeting, and talking with more than 10 wedding coordinators, and being less than thrilled with all of them, we found Teissia. After meeting with her, it didn't take long (about 10 seconds!) for us to decide to give her the reigns to our wedding...and we are so thankful we did. Teissia far exceeded our expectations leading up to the big day. She was more than happy to meet with us on several occasions to go over the details, to do a walk-thru at the site, and to meet with our caterer. She was always a phone call away, and ready with a knowledgeable answer. She also has a good number of references for those services we had trouble finding...like her recommended hair stylist, Marin...who was truly incredible to work with AND fit within our modest budget! Most importantly, she knew what she was doing when it came to the actual event. We are so blessed to have had her ready and willing to do so many of the little things we forgot like write out our chalkboard menu, handle flower petals in the fountain, hunt down our late lightning people, etc...and often without us even asking her. She was probably responsible for countless other things that we don't even know about. Her experience in running big events shined through most when our bar people wouldn't open up when we needed them on our hot wedding day. We later found out (from our parents) how she put her foot down and told them to open up or she would call their boss to make them (or something along those lines). In any case, it was because of Teissia that they opened up that moment! Plus, when we had a last minute important "surprise" guest that flew in on the day of the wedding (which could have resulted in seating arrangement chaos), all we had to do was talk to Teissia and she handled it like a veteran. She coordinated with the vendors, changed the number of chairs at the different tables, and basically made it all happen. She's a coordinator that knows how to get things done. Teissia combines the friendship, calmness, and knowledge you need during the stress-filled planning and preparation period, and the focus, composure, and feistiness (see bar story above) to make the event happen. We honestly had about as problem-free of a wedding one could imagine, and a lot of that was due to Teissia. Thank you so very, very much! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! read more

If I could have given firefly events 10 stars I would have. Teissia is and was one of the most organized and professional people I have ever met. Our wedding was amazing and it was all because of her, she was funny, relaxed, and was welling to answer every single question I bombarded her with. Our wedding was perfect and I couldn't have done it without Teissia, and firefly events, thank you soo much for making our day one of the most special days of our whole life! read more

We are beyond grateful for what Teissia and Firefly did for our wedding. We chose to get married in a friend's backyard in a very remote location, so the coordination of vendors and services was daunting. But Teissia handled everything so professionally and so completely, we were able to enjoy the day without worrying about logistics. I should mention that she managed to do all of this with no cell service (up in the mountains) on the day of the wedding. All of the little details were expertly executed--even little things that she could have let slide but didn't. She is committed to her vision. A major glitch happened when our seating chart, which was being written on glass window panes by an outside vendor, got broken during shipping the night before our wedding. We had no seating chart and I was panicking. But Teissia stayed completely calm and came up with an incredible idea, and she ran out last minute to buy eleven picture frames. She then printed (beautifully) each table number on paper and framed them, and hung them up around the barn where we were getting married. It looked AMAZING and she somehow managed to do this with mere hours left before our wedding, in the middle of trying to coordinate everything else. Teissia also coordinated everybody (DJ, bartenders, etc.) staying half an hour later than expected because the party was so so much fun and nobody wanted to leave. And, when a really important family member was an hour and a half late, she managed to keep all the guests blissfully occupied and keep everything moving smoothly. She is a pro at managing family dynamics and was an awesome buffer when difficult situations occurred. Most importantly, Teissia always had a smile on her face and kept me (the bride) calm during moments of nervousness. We always had complete faith that she would make our event beautiful, and we were not disappointed. YOU SHOULD HIRE TEISSIA AND FIREFLY! She is like superwoman and she will make your event INCREDIBLE!!! Thank you Teissia. We will be forever grateful. read more

Firefly Events helped my husband and I put together a beautiful August wedding. Teissia's professionalism and organizational skills were wonderful. She worked tirelessly to connect us with vendors who provided superior service and keep us on budget. When the wedding week finally arrived she put in endless hours to make sure everything was complete and we had time to enjoy with our families. My husband and I enjoyed our wedding day. Our wedding was beautiful and we owe it to Teissia. We recommend Firefly Events without reservation. read more

Planning a wedding is such a stressful life event, but luckily Teissia is there to save the day!! :) After hearing several horror stories about wedding planners taking over weddings, destroying budgets, etc., I was a little more than nervous about finding someone affordable and helpful. A little type A, I have a hard time trusting someone else pay attention to the details I feel are important. But luckily, I stumbled across Teissia's company via yelp. We hired Teissia for "day of coordination" and were so impressed with her organization skills and availability. I put "day of" in quotations because Teissia was definitely more accessible that just the day of. From day one, Teissia was super accessible via email or phone to help answer silly questions and help guide us through the planning process. She also attended our final wedding venue walk through in addition to our rehearsal. She also coordinate/confirm with all our vendors the week prior to our actual wedding day. She also helped create our day of schedule. The day of our wedding Teissia was already on site when we arrived. Everything, and I mean everything, was taken care of. I really have no idea if there were any big mishaps or last minute emergencies because Teissia and her assistant took care of everything. She was great about checking in with us throughout the day to make sure things were going as we liked/hoped. She also helped troubleshoot on the fly (e.g. when several of our older guests were getting tired, Teissia helped make sure to move our cake cutting up to help some of these guest feel more comfortable leaving early). At the end of the day, Teissia even helped make sure all our belongings and gifts were packed away into our cars. There aren't enough positive things I could say about Teissia and her work. I really don't know what we would've done without her. My new happy husband probably summed it up best at the end of our wedding, "WOW! Teissia saved us!" read more

Teissia and Firefly Events were wonderful - I'm a highly organized woman, and didn't think I would need any help for the day of my wedding. However, Teissia offered her services and I'm so happy we hired her. I was able to enjoy our wedding and the entire day and just let Teissia worry about the nitty gritty and the payments and the time-line and getting my husband to where he needed to be! We couldn't have done it without her and don't know that we would have wanted to! I highly recommend Firefly Events to anyone who needs a little order to their event. read more

Anyone on the fence about hiring a wedding planner should know that the peace of mind you purchase is priceless. Just do it! And if you want a planner that instills the utmost confidence and joy to the process, search no more. My husband and I were blown away by Firefly Events every step of the way. I can't imagine having a planner more diligent, thorough, and thoughtful as Teissia Treynet. Not only did she exceed our expectations with all of the usual services (her vendor contacts and day-of coordination skills alone were worth it)~ but she gave us the sweetest little surprises~ like champagne and flowers petals in our honeymoon suite, and a frame she got all of our wedding guests to secretly sign! I didn't know I could have such a stress-free wedding. But with Firefly Events (Teissia. in particular), it really did happen. This might be bad to say, but in retrospect, we would have paid double our package price for all the services we got. In fact, I joined Yelp expressly to give her this huge thank you (Thank you, Teissia!) in a measly effort to repay what she brought to our wedding. Trust me, this best-kept secret won't last long, so hire her while you can still afford her. (If you want to see photos from our wedding, look under "Emilie & Rowan" on the Firefly Events website.) read more

Firefly Events knows how to throw an incredible wrap party! Teissia had an amazing location, famous dj, and delicious vegan catering taken care of in no time. She was organized, innovative, and excellent when it came to dealing with celebrity clientele. read more

The seven months before Teissia became involved I have to admit I was not into this wedding idea at all any more. The MOMENT she became involved wedding planning became fun. She is EXCELLENT with style and with seeing the whole picture and knowing what we wanted naturally and easily. She is born to do this type of work as she is excellent with people and any and all mistakes or misunderstandings that happened she was immediate to deal with and attend to. What is also wonderful is how she worked with pricing with the vendors and also had her pulse on the secrets of where to get a dress in la and who we should meet with in terms of vendors. I am deeply grateful for her as she helps remind me that this day at the core is really about love. When I forget she reminds me and I am so grateful for her! read more

I created a Yelp account just so I could tell other stressed out brides how amazing Teissia Treynet is. Seriously, just hire her. As our wedding day was getting closer, I started to realize that we needed a little help with our labor-of-love, diy, handcrafted everything wedding. My husband adamantly disagreed and thought we'd be fine handling everything ourselves. The day after the wedding, he admitted that hiring Teissia was the best money we spent. We couldn't have pulled it off without her. Period. Teissia is an extraordinary coordinator. Kind, organized, patient, and downright good at what she does. We chose to hold our wedding at a non-traditional venue site in the desert. The place had never hosted a wedding before, offered little to no help with the setup, and were slow to respond to even the most basic questions about the site. We had to rent a small Uhaul van to bring literally everything ourselves -- dishes, tables, decor, etc. A couple days before the wedding, Teissia came over to do a walk-through of everything we had prepared to take. Having never planned and executed a wedding before, I didn't realize how much time and work it was going to take to set up several months worth of projects in a few hours. Teissia did, and rather than stress me out with a "HOLY SHIT" reaction, she just took it all in and brought an additional assistant on the day of, without charging me any additional or even mentioning it. On the day of the wedding, the logistical nightmares kept piling up. The owner of the venue refused to let us begin setting up until later than we had expected and the weather was uncooperative. As though the brutal desert heat wasn't bad enough, a strong wind picked up and kept blowing things over. Teissia and her dream team of assistants just rolled with it. They never got impatient or stressed out and they were excellent at problem solving solutions to the wind issue (putting the silverware on top of the plate decorations, tying things down, etc.) I could go on and on listing all the little details that Teissia noticed and handled, but honestly, I probably don't even know them all. That's the beauty of how she works. She takes care of everything and puts her extraordinary skill set to work so that you can just relax and enjoy one of the most special days of your life without the stress. You can find room in your budget for your own peace of mind. Believe me, it's money well spent. And speaking of money, Teissia's prices are lower than all of the other wedding coordinators I contacted. When I told my mother-in-law how much I paid Teissia, she shook her head and said, "There is no WAY I'd work as hard as she did today for that." I almost felt bad that she didn't charge me more. Unlike most overpriced wedding vendors, she's worth a pretty penny. I'll never be able to thank Teissia and her team enough for making my wedding day not only possible, but amazing. read more

We felt blessed in so many ways to have Firefly Events coordinate our wedding. Teissia was extraordinarily helpful to us, and took pressures off of us in ways we had not even considered. Her eye for color and design is spectacular. She added many artistic touches that were spot on, making our wedding even more beautiful than we imagined it would be. She negotiated with our vendors, getting the price of our catering down quite a bit without sacrificing quality. So a large chunk of what we paid Firefly was actually subsidized by money she saved us. She even made a phone call for us to a guest that would have been difficult for us. Someone RSVP'd and included her children...except we had not invited the children. Teissia was kind enough to call and explain this to our guest. What a relief that was, as neither my wife nor I wanted to make that call. The day of the wedding, Teissia had a calm energy about her that rubbed off on us, and she seemed to be everywhere at once. Our wedding was simply perfect. After the wedding was over, I found out that there had been some problems with the caterer (broken plates, issues with food, etc.) But we were unaware of the trouble as Teissia handled these issues quietly, without us knowing. I highly recommend using Firefly Events, particularly if you want someone with an artistic side and an eye for beauty, read more

Our wedding was perfect. Reason #1: my husband is AMAZING. Reason #2: Teissia Treynet at Firefly Events is the best wedding coordinator ever. We had both the ceremony and reception at our house with close to 100 guests and I don't know what we would have done without Teissia! From perfectly scheduled logistics, to seamless coordination of volunteers and vendors, to doing exquisite creative work with flowers, guest favor tags and a hundred other things, Teissia took the reins and made it all work. And that was no easy feat, believe me! We had quite an ambitious program and several strong personalities in the mix, but Teissia was kind and graceful yet firm and perfectly on-time. If I could do it all over again (and i would in a heartbeat!) Teissia would be my first call. read more

I hired Teissia almost immediately after getting engaged. I needed someone who didn't look petrified when I told her that I'd be unavailable and out of town 80% of the time, but still wanted to make the decisions. She told us she was flexible, and she definitely was! Teissia understood what I wanted from the beginning. She sent suggestions, narrowed down options, and attended the majority of the vendor meetings, making my life so much easier. And when we got to the actual event, everything went perfectly. I have no idea if there were problems, Teissia handled everything. Even my mother was impressed. I have to say, now that I don't speak with her constantly I definitely miss her. You should hands down hire Firefly Events for your wedding, you won't be disappointed! read more

I got married in April 2016 and we worked with Firefly from a few weeks after we got engaged through the wedding day (about 5+ months). We got married in Manhattan but live in Santa Monica, so I worked mostly with Alia, the West Coast manager. I had some other interactions with the ladies in the NY office when I would visit and have appointments there (and of course for the wedding). Simply put, they know weddings, inside and out, and they provide a very high level of service. Alia was always completely professional, extremely hard-working, responsive, organized, and at the same time creative and artistic. She is smart, experienced, and knowledgeable. The vendors she suggested were fantastic. And I enjoyed working with her on the creative/aesthetic aspects (she has great taste!). On the day of the wedding, everything went beautifully. They had a team of people all over every aspect of the day and everyone (we, our families, and our guests) were very impressed. I really drove myself crazy researching and interviewing wedding planners (about twenty of them). I am SO happy we decided to go with Firefly. read more

Some friends surprised me on my 50th birthday with the most wonderfully spectacular party I have ever seen. It was so personal, and every datail had been meticulously planned and executed...delicious food, beautiful decorations, glorious flowers, a hilarious "this is your life" slideshow, hidden parking for the guests so that I wouldn't recognize any familiar cars. I couldn't believe that my friends had thought all of this up by themselves. ...and I was right. They gave all of the credit to FIREFLY EVENTS and to its owner Teissia, who walked them through every detail, including the final execution of the party. I was so touched. It was truly an event to remember. So, when it came time for me to throw a Super Bowl Party in honor of the Saints, I hired FIREFLY to take care of everythng....and that they did. It was a New Orleans-themed party. Teissia thought of everything, right down to the gumbo, Mardi Gras beads, and Zydeco music. All of my guests thoroughly enjoyed themselves, (especailly the native New Orleanians who said it was like a little bit of home)...and all were completely charmed by Teissia. She is incredibly professional, fun, very easy to work with, inventive, and so detail-oriented! She listened to my ideas, as well as presenting me with a fountain of ideas of her own. I could actually relax and enjoy my own party (a first) because I knew I was in such competent hands. It was a fabulous evening!!! I couldn't have done it without her. (You should see her in action! ) If you are looking for someone to help plan any event, big or small, I could not recommend anyone more highly than Firefly Events. They make everything so pleasurable. When the time comes to plan my daughter's wedding, I know that it will be a Firefly Events wedding. read more

My fiance and I are so thrilled to have Firefly Events coordinate our Big Day. The staff are professional and the attention to detail is impeccable. Wedding planning is 1) enjoyable and 2) a breeze, I can't even believe it! Firefly Events helped us find and negotiate cost of location and vendors, and we have saved a ton. We know we are going to have a wonderful, beautiful, fun, prestine wedding thanks to Firefly Events. Also, if you are on the fence about getting a wedding coordinator, I highly recommend it- the services are totally worth it, Firefly is reasonably prices and worth every penny. I honestly can't even convey right now how impressive Firefly Events are to work with. I saw on their website that they did a celebrity poker fundraiser that looked pretty cool, so they do non-profit fundraisers, corporate events, bar mitzvahs and the like too. Cheers to Firefly Events- thank you for reducing the number of Bridezillas in the world one wedding at a time. read more
