I spent over 17 years as an event planner and thought I didn't need a wedding planner for my daughter's wedding. That could not be further from the truth! The wedding was a Covid...
delay wedding of almost a year, so clearly that was tough. A Charming Fete made it all worth the wait and over-delivered on everything. I did need this team to make not only my daughter's wedding dreams come true, but to allow me to truly enjoy everything a s a guest instead of running around like a crazy person. Somer clearly understood the vision of the bride, and took care of all of the "little details" that my guests noticed and have been calling and texting me about...the memorial at the front door (Venue was the Club at Hillbrook), the toiletries in the mens and ladies rooms, assembling and delivering all of the guest welcome boxes to the hotels, etc. Regarding the larger details...the flowers, the DJ, and "the Look"...WOW! I walked into the reception as if I was a guest and I was sincerely blown away. It was beyond my dreams...and my daughter's. The day could not have been more beyond perfect without Somer and her team, and they were worth every penny. I will forever be grateful for A Charming Fete
My daughter was married over the weekend 10/14/23. We had the pleasure of working with the team at A Charming Fete led by Chelsea. I cannot praise them enough. From the creative de...
sign, to working with vendors and calming our nerves along the way, they were amazing. Every detail was perfectly executed. They handled everything with confidence and grace. As a result, we had the most beautiful wedding. I would highly recommend Chelsea and A Charming Fete for weddings and special events. Truly amazing!
A Charming Fête made my wedding a dream come true! They made everything perfect. The planning was so easy with their help. From the design to choosing the right vendors to the day ...
of coordination, it was unreal. I completely trusted their team and it turned out better than I could have ever imagined. I feel so lucky and grateful that I got to work with these amazing and talented ladies for my wedding. Thank you so much for making my wedding everything I have ever wanted.
I cannot tell you enough how lucky we were to work with Lisa and the Charming Fete team during the planning of my wedding and post wedding brunch. Not only does she have the most d...
etail oriented eye for design, but she is able to work with the vendors to assure a seamless execution on the most special day! Lisa was such a pleasure to work with and I truly trusted her opinion with each decision we made. Couldn’t have done it without A Charming Fete!
The best ever, made every thing seamless for us
If you have an idea or a vision, the crew and staff at A Charming Fete will work with all of your dreams and make them come true.
The minute I walked through the door, I knew that...
I had found the perfect planners!
The staff were very friendly. The decor was chic and crisp. I could feel the creativity.
And, right, I was. I initially spoke with lovely Somer. After I shared my ideas with her, she selected two of the most kindest, sweetest, creative and AWESOME planners, BRYNN AND CHELSEA, to help me with my vision.
They were always reaching out to me with ideas and suggestions. They always answered my texts, emails and phone calls. I KNEW that Brynn and Chelsea would make the event spectacular!
The day of the shower finally arrived. The crew under the direction of Brynn and Chelsea turned the venue into an enchanted dreamland for all of my guests to see.
It was drop dead GORGEOUS! Everything was perfect. From the flowers, to the table decorations, to the arrangement and placements of the props…it was stunning. My guests said that this was, hands down, the most beautiful and best shower that they have ever attended!!!
Thank you a million times, A Charming Fete. You truly are top notch.
And, a very special shout out to Brynn and Chelsea for making it all possible.
Hiring Erica from A Charming Fete was the best money we spent our money on while planning our wedding. Erica was the most amazing day of coordinator. She was kind, patient, under...
standing, thoughtful, responsive, honest, and diligent. Erica was an overall rockstar and there is no way our wedding could have happened without her. I was hesitant about hiring a planner and looking back on it I cannot even imagine how the day would have went on without her! Erica handled all the things brides/husbands/ and families don't have time to deal with days leading up the wedding. The day of the wedding Erica ran the show without a bump or hiccup. We had a difficult venue coordinator and Erica handled the situation with them with such ease and without hesitation. There are no words to describe how wonderful Erica and those with The Charming Fete are. Thank you Erica!!!!! Thank you A Charming Fete!!!!!
A Charming Fete planners are Top Notch! We have had the privilege of working with ACF for a Rehearsal Dinner, two Post Wedding Brunches, and a wedding over the past three years. ...
The ACF team planned and executed each of our events exactly as we dreamed they would occur! They are detailed oriented in the best way possible, and work so well together seamlessly creating magic! So very thankful to have had A Charming Fete be a part of creating many memorable moments for our family!
We are left speechless, enamored, and overjoyed with the perfection of our wedding thanks to Somer, Lisa and their team at A Charming Fete!!! We gave them a vision and they brought...
it to life. They are hard working , organized, kind, and creative geniuses!! They truly care about you on your special day and want nothing but the best. They will settle for nothing less than perfection❤️ We love you guys!!!
I am the band leader for Perfect Choice. We were chosen to play for a wedding on 6/19/21 that included A Charming Fete as the planners for the event. I worked with Maggie and she...
was awesome!
We talked quite a bit before the day of the event to coordinate the details between us. I love being able to go to a wedding and already have the communication and details work3ed out so if anything pops up the day of (as things usually do) we're ready to work together and handle whatever it may be.
Maggie and her team did an outstanding job at putting together everything for a couple that were on a tight timeline. We had a great time playing and I was happy to work with Maggie and the great folks from "A Charming Fete".
If the option was to give 100 stars I would!!
I looked into at least four different wedding planners before I spoke with Somer from A Charming Fete. After one phone call, I instan...
tly knew her team brought something different to the wedding planning experience. Her team, not only focuses on the wedding and reception, but pays special attention to the details which is what sets this team apart from others!
After getting off the phone with Somer, I was anxious to receive pricing as many events I had seen on Instagram were luxury. Once I received pricing for month of and day of coordination, I was pleasantly surprised at how reasonable the pricing was, very much in line with what I had seen through my search.
I met with Maggie a month before the wedding to review my event, her endless connections and vendor recommendations set me at ease during the final month of prep.
Day of wedding, Maggie and her team were show stopping! At every turn, Maggie was there to assist, calm and make sure all details were perfect. I had the most relaxing wedding day due to Maggie and her team. Every ask was greeted with a smile and I did not worry about one thing during my wedding. After the wedding, my mother in law said “If I would have know how great the team was, I would not have worried about anything these last few months”! I had no worries they would be great, but I had no idea how seamless they really made everything.
I cannot recommend A Charming Fete more, they truly made my day special!
Dani and her crew transcend excellence, creativity and attention to detail, such that any adjectives are inadequate!
I am a fellow wedding vendor who works with A Charming Fete on a regular basis and I cannot speak enough about the quality of their planners and the work they do. I have worked wit...
h Lisa, Somer, Maggie and Lauren and they are all outstanding. Their attention to detail, overall vision and creativity is second to none and it shows in the gorgeous events they plan and execute. I love working with them and recommending them to couples. Not only do they produce amazing weddings and events, but they are wonderful to work with!
They helped us plan an entire wedding during a global pandemic. Need I say anymore!? We couldn’t be happier with how well our wedding turned out & how effortless it all felt with t...

They are the best around! Literally saved me during all the COVID planning! They made every detail special and worked with me to create my dream wedding. I don’t know what I would ...

The staff at a Charming Fête were nothing short of amazing. Planning a wedding during a global pandemic was near impossible and what appeared to be an endless rollercoaster. The te...
am at a Charming Fête were there to guide us every step of the way and keep our confidence high when my wife and I were worried. Thanks to them we were able to pull off our dream wedding (while maintaining physical distancing and abiding by all the rules in place). I would 100 percent recommend the team at a Charming Fête for any event or wedding planning you may need and am confident in saying they will deliver exactly what you are looking for.
I got the opportunity of planning the 2019 Christmas Party of the company I worked for but due to my crazy work schedule I decided to get professional help. I have been following A...
Charming Fete for while on instagram and I was so ready to work with them! Let me just say, BEST decision ever!! I got to work closely with Chelsea and Bella who paid special attention to design and what we wanted. The theme was Winter Wonderland...and the peoples reactions when they walked into the ballroom as I recall "This looks like its out of the Frozen Movie"!!! Honestly, everyone was raving about the party for weeks!!! They already talking about the 2020 christmas party! Chelsea and Bella co-ordinated everything flawlessly and worked with our company budget closely to get the best out of it! The centerpieces, the flowers, the lighting, the DJ... everything was beyond perfect! The dealt with all the vendors and were transparent with design and pricing. Other than these Ladies planning expertise, they really are the sweetest to work with! Thank you Chelsea, Bella and A Charming Fete!! ...Hope we can work together again soon!!
We will never be able to thank A Charming Fete enough for making our dream day come to life. We were paired with Maggie as our lead planner and it couldn’t have been a better fit. ...
Maggie instantly became so much more than a planner and jumped into being the friend/therapist/problem solver than every bride NEEDS. She got to know our personalities and decision making style (which was mediocre, at best) and played to our weaknesses to ensure that we were making choices that we would love. I had a million last minute ideas, decided to make my own programs, add an extra hotel block, change table cloths etc. and Maggie MADE IT ALL HAPPEN. Like an actual fairy godmother.
And then Lauren was the design lead and she delivered on bringing our very detailed vision to life, on steroids. We chose a completely bare industrial venue in Cleveland (The Madison) which required so many vendors and moving parts. We wanted a speakeasy-style bar and Lauren took it as far as it could go, dressing the bartenders in 1920s accessories. Her ability to understand the vibe of us as a couple and lean into our style while enhancing every detail beyond the scope of our imagination was magical. Lauren went so far beyond what she needed to do to make us feel covered across all angles, even attending our food tasting to make sure that the plating was right because food was so important to us. She also was so respectful of our budget and gave so many options to scale back in areas that were less important to us.
Not enough good things to say about ACF. The entire event went so smoothly and the investment of a full service planner was worth every penny. If you are on the fence— do it!!!!!
My husband and I were married at BayArts in September. We had been working for over a year with the venue coordinators and in July we had received an unsettling email that our coo...
rdinator had left and A Charming Fete would be taking over. We were extremely upset to have this last minute change especially since we were planning a wedding from Cincinnati. Our wedding planner was Bella and she was exceptional! I cannot recommend her enough, she was very responsive to all my concerns and helped ease our frustrations. Our day was so smooth from set up to clean up. We had zero worries on our wedding day because Bella had made our Pinterest wedding a reality. Thanks Bella!!
Best day of my life. Everything ran smoothly. They did everything we asked. I have heard from friends, they said it was the best and most beautiful wedding they has ever been to.
Somer, Maggie, and the Charming Fete team helped us execute an incredible and memorable wedding on less than five-months notice. On our own, we initially had difficulty locating a...
venue to accomodate our large guest list on such a short timeline. Charming Fete identified the most unique and incredible property in the middle of downtown Cleveland. Their creativity helped us fulfill our vision of showcasing the best of Cleveland to all of our out of town guests. Throughout the planning process, they managed a lot of high emotions and impossibly pleased all stakeholders to produce the perfect event. Our demanding expectations were beyond satisfied.
Most importantly, they seamlessly managed the day of the wedding so that we (and our families) could enjoy the celebration. They juggled hair, make up, photography, videography, band, complicated shuttle schedules from different hotels, security, set up at the ceremony and reception sites, and countless other details so that we could focus on our guests and our party. Somer doubled as a last minute make up artist and did touch ups and hair fixes before we walked down the aisle. They are the consummate professionals and are always prepared with useful emergency supplies (we were so grateful for their double-sided tape and shout wipes). Throughout the day, they kept all of the vendors and bridal party on an efficient timeline and kept track of the bride and groom, family, and bridal party, who were spread out at different locations around the city for pictures and pre-ceremony events. They produced a flawless wedding!!
My entire experience with the team of A Charming Fete was flawless from beginning to end. We hired them as our day of coordinators and the entire team could not have executed our v...
ision more seamlessly. From placing the right macaron on each plate, to sending my daughter down the aisle - not one detail was missed. And trust me, there were a lot! Their attention to the small things is what truly sets them apart. I cannot say enough kind words about this wonderful team of people - thank you for executing the most perfect day for not only my daughter, but for all involved!
Our wedding day would absolutely not have been possible nor would it have been as beautiful without the help from the Charming Fete team. We worked closely with Erica and Lauren wh...
o brought my very vague and sometimes (okay, always) disorganized thoughts to life to create the most beautiful day for us. Every single detail down to the tassels on our napkins was incredible. Not only did everything look perfect, but everything was incredibly organized and straight forward throughout the process. Also, the team was so kind and quick to respond to ALL of my e-mails, texts, and Instagram DMs that said "Oh can I do this too?" Truly can't say enough about this group! So grateful for their kindness, patience, and talent.
A Charming Fete helped to make our wedding day perfect. They allowed my husband and enjoy our day while they took care of all of the behind the scenes work. Everyone in the bridal ...
party enjoyed them and they fit right in to the party. The team understood our personalities and what we wanted for our wedding day and they did everything that they could to make us feel comfortable and happy. I would recommend them 100%. Like I said our day would not have been as perfect without them. The team is AMAZING!
We had booked Bayarts for our daughters August 17, 2019 wedding midsummer of 2018 and thought the Bayarts staff would be handling all of the details. We were very concerned when w...
e got a message from Chelsea of A Charming Fete that we now had a wedding planner that we didn't remember hiring. It turns out it was our lucky day. Bayarts had teamed up with Chelsea and A Charming Fete to manage all of the Bayarts weddings. The wedding turned out fantastic. Everything went as we had planned with Chelsea. All I had to do was enjoy the ceremony and the guest, everything went like clockwork. Even cleanup was taken care of. Almost everything was already in the cars and ready to go. It was amazingly simple. Thank you Chelsea!

A Charming Fete took over day of planning for our wedding venue about 3 months before our wedding. What could have been a really stressful situation was really easy and even fun! W...
e worked with Bella and Nikki and they made everything absolutely perfect for our wedding day. We really felt like we didn't need to worry about a thing the day of, and everyone keeps telling us about how sweet, fun, and easy our wedding was. Pick them and you won't be disappointed!
Somer and her team are truly impressive. As an event planner myself, I know the amount of attention to detail and time that goes into planning an event- and couldn’t even begin to ...
imagine how extensive her work was behind the scenes with the wedding she gave us. At no point was I ever stressed or made to feel like I wasn’t a priority. Somer and her team truly made this day the best of our lives. She has a magical way of bringing a sense of calm to all those around her. She is incredibly professional, even when presented with some of the last minute-ness of my family and their unending modifications. My partner and I come from two very diverse backgrounds, both ethnically and financially and there was not one family member or culture that wasn’t represented during our special day. I never thought I wanted a large wedding until after my experience last weekend with Somer and her team- now I’m sad it’s over :) I cannot way enough just how incredible this experience was for us.
We were married at Bayarts on 9/1/19. When we originally found our venue, we thought our day of coordination would be handled by the ladies at the venue. We found out earlier this ...
year that they had both left BayArts and that our day of coordination would be handled by A Charming Fete. Quickly after finding out about this change, our new coordinator, Chelsea, reached out to put us at ease.
From that email to countless more over the next few months, Chelsea was wonderful to work with. She didn’t bat an eye when my husband and I showed up two days before the wedding to drop off all of the little items we wanted on our day. She and Lauren from Bay Arts (who was also amazing!!) started carrying in the heaviest pieces (including cases of beer)).
The day of the wedding wasn’t looking great weather wise and Chelsea made an executive decision to move our outdoor ceremony indoors. I was so thankful that she made this decision and called me to confirm. This took a lot of responsibility off of my plate and our ceremony turned out beautiful!
Lastly, Chelsea was top knot on the day of our wedding. Everything we wanted to do was done on time and was executed the exact way We had envisioned. We truly appreciate all of the work Chelsea did for us and would recommend her 100%!
Maggie Mitchell and Lauren Hibbard were our planners and they took care of everything, it was easily the best money we’ve ever spent! Maggie handled logistics and we had weekly ca...
lls with her to go over all of the details and decisions. Lauren was on the design side and we had a several design-specific in person meetings with her. They both did a wonderful job working with us and working with one another, we always had 100% confidence that everything that needed to get done was getting done.
Maggie & Lauren took care of everything down to the smallest detail! Obviously the end result turned out amazing, but we were constantly impressed at the expertise they had and the...
ability to plan for things we hadn’t even considered.
I do not even know where to begin with my experience using A Charming Fete! We were paired up with Maggie as our event coordinator and lead planner alongside Lauren who was the des...
ign guru for our reception! These two ladies were so great to work with! A Charming Fete assisted with venue options, vendor choices, and discussed which vendors would go best with our specific vision! I was busy with work while my husband was living out of town finishing school and it was so nice to have such a reliable company taking out so much of the stress out of the day-to-day planning! Every vendor meeting I could count on these ladies to be attending with me and providing me with the best input and ideas. I always felt confident in my planning because these two ladies were always there to answer my phone calls, e-mails, texts, and keep me on track! The day of the wedding was absolutely perfect. Maggie stayed with us all day to make sure things went smoothly while Lauren and 3 assistants helped to set up the venue. We are WOW-ed by how beautiful our reception hall was and the entire evening went so smoothly! We received endless compliments on our wedding for weeks after! I really cannot say enough about how calm and at ease I felt on my wedding day because of these two. They are so wonderful and I had fun planning with them and getting to know them as well! I would highly recommend this company to anyone who is planning a wedding! My husband and I just love them! Thank you so much Maggie and Lauren!!!
This "momager" hired A Charming Fête the minute we knew our daughter was about to get engaged! Within days of our now son-in-law asking us for her hand in marriage, I connected and...
met with Somer and it was love at first sight!! Being the mom of 3 daughters, I felt the need to learn everything I could about weddings and wedding planning so connecting with the best planners in Cleveland was the best decision I made. My daughter's work schedule made it very difficult for her to be present and engaged in every detail.. but for me, it was my full time job for the past year. I loved working with Somer & Lisa and somehow they managed to keep me calm and focused as we navigated through the hundreds of options from flowers, to table linens, to chairs, to place settings, to layouts, to invitations, to food, etc. etc. etc.!! They assisted us with every detail and decision. The amount of time and planning that goes in to this one weekend is unbelievable. With Somer & Lisa's experience, expertise, and connections, it all comes together beautifully. We had planned for an outdoor ceremony and tented reception. We had 2 plans in place... Plan A and Plan B for rain. Unfortunately for us, it was Plan B. Who would have thought on June 15th it would be a complete rain-out.. but this is CLE and you never know what to expect with the weather. Somer & Lisa made the transition from Plan A to Plan B seamless. Our guests were WOWed and in awe of our wedding - never knowing that we were in Plan B. I don't know what we would have done without Somer & Lisa and their team on this rainy day. Back to being a "momager" of 3 daughters... my thought (and sales pitch to my husband) was that we would make this one-time investment in wedding planners so that for our next 2 weddings, I could do it all myself. LOL!! You can bet that once we are asked again for a daughter's hand in marriage, the first call I will make is to Somer & Lisa at A Charming Fête!! XOXO
Charming Fete is the BEST! My husband and I are both from Ohio but knew we would be moving out of town for medical residency. Given that we would both be in residency AND out of st...
ate (read: no time to plan) we fully handed over the reigns to Somer and Lisa. From a creative standpoint, they took our vision and blew it out of the water. Their sense of design and imagination for how to transform a space is unparalleled. They planned the most epic and perfect wedding we could have imagined. They stressed about all the little details so we didn’t have to. They have relationships with so many vendors and seem to know exactly who to pick for each couple. We had a bit tighter of a budget than most, and Somer and Lisa were essential in helping us make our budget go as far as it possibly could. They negotiated pricing, found the best vendors and helped us figure out best places to splurge vs where we could go with a less expensive option. They were there with us ever step of the way and made sure everything went off without a hitch. I can honestly say we could not have done it without them. I would recommend Charming Fete to absolutely anyone planning a wedding (or other event)
How do I even sum up how wonderful these people are? I personally worked with Lauren and Erica but everyone in this company is truly wonderful. Lauren's design for my wedding was l...
ike someone got inside my imagination and brought it to life. I felt like I could barely describe how exactly I wanted everything to look, but somehow Lauren got it and made it better than I could have ever dreamed. It was truly a fairy tale. Erica, as our coordinator, could not have been more wonderful and helpful, especially on the actual wedding day. Anything that we needed or anything that wasn't completely perfect was taken care of efficiently and seamlessly. Not only did these two give me the wedding of my dreams, but they did so graciously. We never once saw them get impatient or annoyed with anyone or any vendors. They are extremely talented and professional individuals. I could go on forever about them and what an utter dream our wedding was because of them but I will stop here. I feel like I can't even do the justice with just my words. We cannot thank them enough and will sing their praises to anyone who asks.
I found A Charming Fete on The Knot and immediately fell in love with their work! I insisted on wanting to hire them however, my husband was a harder sell. It is a large investment...
for sure and I would be lying if we didn't question if it was worth it a few times during the process but, I feel our experience may have been a little different than most. We started off with our planner Lauren and about halfway through planning our wedding she reached out to us telling us that she was leaving the company and set us up with our new planner Erica. I was a little in shock because when you have been working with one person for 6 months and basically planned out your entire design with them it's scary putting all of that in the hands of someone you don't know yet. I will say that everything on their end was handled seamlessly Lisa was very involved with the transition and made sure that nothing fell through the cracks. Erica also welcomed us with open arms and ready to hit the ground running with getting up to speed with our wedding! I would give Erica herself 5 stars she was amazing she had the kindest heart but she does not mess around when it comes to paying attention to every detail and caught things that we would've never caught. The weeks leading up to our big day I was so calm because Erica was so on it, I didn't have to worry about a thing! The night of our rehearsal she told me she read through every single email to make sure she didn't miss a thing (there were 100's of emails!!!) The day of I was getting a little overwhelmed while getting ready with people asking me questions and when Erica showed up I was immediately relieved to see her beautiful smiling face and knew all was well again! Now being on the other side I would say it was 100% worth it to hire a wedding planner and my husband agrees. My only reason for not giving 5 stars is because of the little hiccup in the middle but I am thankful because everything happens for a reason. Even though Erica was a wedding planner thrown into our wedding halfway through she was amazing, and I feel I left this whole experience with a new friend!
After researching several options online, I decided to go with A Charming Fete for my wedding - their portfolio displayed one gorgeous event after another and I loved the idea of h...
aving someone to guide me through the entire planning process.
Following a consult meeting so they could get a feel for the style and budget I had in mind, I was set up with Lauren, one of their lead planners. Lauren was an absolute dream to work with - she listened to my wishlist, got me the perfect venue (which I never would have found on my own), and put together an incredible team of top-notch vendors. She was there for vendor meetings, always had great ideas and advice on design elements, and kept things organized and moving smoothly. Plus she was just fun to be around - I always felt like she was as excited for my wedding day as I was which was pretty cool.
Day of the wedding...I didn't have to worry about a thing! Lauren coordinated with all the vendors, oversaw the entire set-up process, dealt with any issues that arose, directed the flow of events, etc, etc. When my fiance/husband and I saw the space transformed, we were just blown away - it was so stunning!
I can't recommend A Charming Fete and Lauren enough - they made our wedding day stress-free and simply amazing!
We were so stressed out and nervous about our big day , in fact our wedding day went so Somooth and was a great success, big part of that is due to Somer and A charming Fête!
Their...
organization skills, punctuality, ability to communicate and advise were amazing!
Thank you Somer!!❤️❤️
We used A Charming Fête to plan our wedding this October 2018 at the Old Cleveland Courthouse. Words cannot adequately describe the amazing job they did. Even with my wife and I ...
no longer living in Cleveland, the Company seamlessly worked with us to plan vendor meetings and ensure we everything went according to schedule. Their responses were always timely, thoughtful, and exactly what we needed. Moreover, their recommendations on local vendors were spot on and fit exactly what we wanted.
On the day of the wedding, Erica and her team pulled off the wedding flawlessly. The design was everything we hoped for and more.
I cannot state enough how amazing A Charming Fête is at their jobs and it is easy to see why they are one of the premier wedding planners in Ohio. Would recommend to anyone and everyone.
Ten thousand percent WORTH IT. I worked with Somer and Lisa, which was the best decision I made in the entire wedding planning process. These ladies did all of the simple expecta...
tions- helping with vendor selections, bringing every detail and more to life, coordinating day of time line, etc. What set them apart from anyone else is this:
I chose a florist that was a poor choice. I had a vision of this beautiful head table floating floral arrangement that, in short, the florist completely forgot about on the day of. Additionally, the florist brought wilted flowers and a substantially smaller quantity of flowers than I had ordered. Somer & Lisa wanted my dreams to come true, so without hesitation (and without me knowing this at the time) they went and bought out flowers from various locations, and made a trip to home depot to build a last minute head table piece so that i would not be let down. To top it off, they sent me the most beautiful bouquet of roses when I got home from my honeymoon to resemble the flowers that I should've had on my big day! Beyond this story- they were there for bridesmaid dress shopping, at my request. They navigated through all of my awful family drama. From food tasting, to make up touch ups, they literally did.it.all. They even got all of the items for my hotel bags and assembled them all! I could go on for days. They are the sweetest, classiest, hardest working women you'll ever meet... and they genuinely care!! They truly are THE BEST <3
My overall experience can be summed up in two words, absolutely fantastic. I love these two! So where do I start?
I found Somer and Lisa off Instagram and loved their work. It was ...
detailed, thoughtful and you could just tell they put the bride (and groom ;) ) first. I wanted my wedding to be elegant and classy but with details that set it apart from other weddings.
I’m a type A person that makes the to-do list, loves organization and likes to control things. I was planning our wedding in the midst of a hectic football season. Though I’m that person that likes control, I knew I needed to find planners, because it just wasn’t logistically possible for me to plan on my own since I was out of town.
Lisa and Somer instantly calmed any fears or concerns that I had. Both are approachable, honest and very organized. I wanted planners to spearhead my “vision” and do their thing so to speak. They did that and more. We scheduled weekly phone calls, direct emails back and forth and texts. I know they had other several weddings before us, but we never felt like we weren’t a priority. They were ALWAYS there for us. During the planning process, life got extremely hectic with some career changes and moves, Lisa and Somer didn’t skip a beat. They constantly kept me in the loop. My(now) husband and I view these two ladies as close friends and family. I understand that our situation is unique and may differ from others, but rest assure that they are there to help you plan your wedding even when life gets crazy.
As a bride, you want to see options. You want to be reassured that you are making the right decision. Lisa and Somer provided me with several options for vendors and pricing throughout the entire process. I loved the mood boards they created for every aspect of the wedding. You also want to make sure that your hard-earned money is being spent the right way (Amen!). Lisa and Somer were on top of all it. I cannot stress enough how helpful their organization and transparency were. Also, not every vendor is right for every wedding. These ladies sought out the florist, photographer, band, production company, linens etc. that fit best with the style & budget of my wedding. A Charming Fete is extremely well-connected with several vendors nationally and in Ohio. I incorporated both at my wedding because of them.
I entered my wedding day, so relaxed. Why? Because the planning was done. By done, I mean we walked through the entire day serval times, talked about what was expected and what I didn’t want etc. My wedding day was long (Catholic Mass) and very hot, throughout the entire day, the entire A Charming Fete team was there hands-on to help in any way possible. The execution and communication were seamless. Our wedding day was unique because we had an after-party, which added more to everyone’s plate from planning to execution. Once again, they showed how talented they were and the after-party was everything and more!
I whole heartily believe that A Charming Fete is THE best wedding planner in Ohio and among the top in the country. These two amazing women get to know you and your family, they find out what’s important and help in any way they can. They value you and your spouse, they value your trust. They are there to make YOUR day, truly yours.
I cannot even express how thankful I was to have A Charming Fete plan and coordinate our wedding day. I was debating on hiring a wedding planner and met with different Cleveland ...
planners, but ultimately decided on A Charming Fete because I wanted a unique wedding executed with a professional eye. They have amazing taste! Lauren Hibbard went above and beyond for us during the entire planning process and wedding day. She was truly invaluable and our dream wedding would not have happened without her. She kindly answered all my type A emails, coordinated a flawless plan with my vendors/ venue coordinator, and executed our taste better than we could have imagined. I was set on having an outdoor wedding and when the Cleveland summer thunderstorms became a threat, she transformed our venue into a rain plan that was better than the original. Lauren and her team of vendors worked hard all morning and afternoon while I could get ready for the wedding stress -free (minus checking the rain forecast continuously). She also stayed past 1 am breaking down and bringing my belongings used in the reception to my parents' hotel room. I could go on for days about the value of having great wedding planners like Lauren and A Charming Fete. Basically, if you want to have the wedding of your dreams that guests will rave about for months, you should work with A Charming Fete!
The most knowledgeable, honest, hard working people I have ever encountered. I give their number to everyone!

Some said you don't need a planner and you could work things out yourself, and I say, you won't have a wedding like the one we did unless you had A Charming Fête make it happen. It...
is amazing to me how they were able to understand the image we hand in mind and turned it into reality. Being able to envision an idea is not an easy task, and this company nailed it.
Thank you for making our special day a very special memory.
This group of planners are the best I have ever seen or worked with. My family has been to many wedding in the Cleveland area and beyond. These ladies exceeded my expectation of wh...
at a wedding could look like. They had every place setting placed perfectly, every napkin folded precisely and every table had the perfect table scape. I am so impressed! The team of ladies also made sure that everything ran smooth and that there was never a glitch in the program. If any issues arose, they handled it. These Classy and hardworking girls are amazing!! Book them if your looking for the best in the business!
We used A Charming Fete for "day of" planning and couldn't be happier with our decision! I am a little bit of a control freak and a designer so I knew that I wanted to be hands-on ...
with planning my wedding but I didn't want my wedding day to be stressful for me, my mom or my MOH/bridesmaids. Jenny was our planner and she was AMAZING. Throughout the month before my wedding she thought of every detail that I had overlooked or didn't think of, and came to meetings with me, asked the right questions, and told me I could text her/contact her 24/7. The wedding day she was everywhere taking care of problems, coordinating and anticipating the needs of my husband and I, our parents, the wedding party and the vendors. Afterwards, everyone in the wedding couldn't stop raving about her and how on top of it she was. My wedding day was so stress free thanks to Jenny!
Hiring A Charming Fete for our day-of coordination was the BEST decision we made! If you are already spending thousands of dollars on the wedding , you might as well ENJOY IT!!! Ma...
ggie and her assistants brought my vision to life in such a beautiful way. She went above and beyond to relieve tasks from my parents/family -- such as picking up desserts from our freezer the morning of and bringing them to the venue, and tearing down at the end of the night. "Little things" like this saved us from extra wedding stress and allowed us to enjoy the day without worrying about decorations, vendors, or timelines. She was always there when we needed her and our day ran flawlessly (at least, to me and my guests it did -- and that's what matters!). Thank you, Maggie and team, for helping us have the most perfect day!!!
Erica Lasky at A Charming Fete is THE BEST. She went far above and beyond to ensure that every detail of our wedding was perfect, and did so with professionalism and enthusiasm. Ou...
r venue was difficult to work with (the Old Courthouse) and required that we bring in all of our own vendors. Erica handled the high level of coordination flawlessly. She recommended the most fabulous vendors, handled the complicated logistics, and helped to make our wedding unique and beautiful. On our wedding day, we had several potential problems (wrong beer delivered, rowdy guest broke a glass door, a whole family attended that did not RSVP...). Erica handled each potential crisis with ease, with zero concern to me and zero interruption to the festivities. Erica and the Charming Fete team are a dream. If you're looking for the best wedding planner, look no further!
Choosing Charming Fete for our wedding planning and design was hands down the BEST decision we made throughout the whole wedding planning process! We worked with Lauren who was so ...
incredibly amazing. She was very accommodating around our busy schedules and was able to meet on weekends and evenings. She helped us come up with a vision for our wedding, and the day was absolutely stunning and totally exceeded our expectations! She knew exactly which vendors to suggest based on the look we were going for and our budget, and helped make all of our vendor appointments (and came to many of them as well), and continued to communicate with all of our vendors up until the day of our wedding to assure everything went smoothly. The day of our wedding, we did not need to worry about a single thing - if there were any issues that came up, I didn't know about them because Lauren and her team took care of everything! If you are thinking about a wedding planner, seriously do not look any further - A Charming Fete is THE BEST!! If you need any more convincing, just look at their gorgeous Instagram - that could be your wedding!
Working with Charming Fete was a dream! I was an out of town bride and needed a team I could trust to bring my vision to life. They far surpassed any and all expectations I had. L...
isa, Somer, and Tiffany are beyond professional and always responded within minutes of my texts/emails. Tiffany even responded within seconds! I was never in the dark and always knew exactly what was going on throughout the planning process. The team read my mind and knew my vision better than I did! They use the best vendors and have an incredible network. Being out of town, I wasn't able to meet some of our vendors until our reception. I trusted Charming Fete to select top notch vendors and they delivered! Many of my guests commented on how well my wedding flowed and how seamless everything was. I was totally stress free on my wedding day because I knew I had the best of the best supporting me and making sure everything was going to plan. I couldn't imagine getting married without Charming Fete. They're truly remarkable and I know our friendship will continue for many years to come. (Crying as I write this because I love them so much!!!) My wedding was a dream and I couldn't have asked for a better team.
We loved working with A Chatming Fete and Kristina was awesome, she paid attention to every detail. She was able to create our vision for the perfect wedding. Thank you!
