A Fabulous Soiree

From day one, Agnes was a lifesaver. Every time we talked to her or emailed her, she had answers, tips, and great recommendations. Our wedding day was perfect thanks to her and her team.

Agnes and her team were true professionals! From the very start she helped us get organized. She has a great collection of decor items that she let us borrow for the day (saved us a ton of money and hassle)! She has her system dialed in so that you never need to worry about what you should be doing, or when. She was extremely helpful getting us set up the months before the wedding. She has a great system of referrals and was quick to get us in touch with those we needed. Day of, she and her team were priceless. We never had to worry about a single thing and were able to enjoy and share our day with our family and friends. I would absolutely recommend A Fab Soiree to my friends and family and I would hire her again in an instant!

Agnes and her team at A Fabulous Soiree were amazing. We are so glad we booked with her, as she was warm, friendly, and supportive throughout this whole process! Planning a wedding is extremely time-consuming, but she handled a lot of the vendor communication and streamlined the process. She was always a joy to work with, and my bridesmaids couldn't stop saying how much they loved her. Our wedding was a dream, and she got every detail. Could not have asked for a better coordinator!

Agnes and her team provided an amazing experience from beginning to end. She made us feel incredibly comfortable through the planning process, and was always incredibly communicative. This was easily the best value in all of our wedding expenditures. If you are vetting day-of coordinators, there is no one that will be more professional, east to work with, and delightful to be around!

Agnes and her team were wonderful to work with. They were able to execute the vision I had in mind and our whole day went smoothly. They are attentive and always ready answer your questions or find solutions to make sure your day is perfect!

A Fabulous Soiree is an absolute necessity for weddings and parties. I would say as essential as the wedding dress. I considered not having a wedding planner, but it's a vital service...especially a good team like A Fabulous Soiree. I got to experience A Fabulous Soiree's team as a wedding guest and as the bride. Both experiences were wonderful and positive. As the bride: Agnes helped with recommendation and coordination of vendors, assisted in creating timelines, communication with vendors and guests, planning (she gave suggestions, tips, and things to consider that I would have never thought about which helped our wedding to run smoothly), setup (her team helped with setting up all our signage, place cards, table decor, etc.). Agnes' support was so impactful in alleviating stress, especially during the weeks leading up to the wedding. During this time there are so many people to answer to and seemingly small tasks build up to a very large to-do list. As a guest: Her team was able to guide guests to where they needed to be in a gentle and subtle way. Her team had answers for guests which saved us from bothering the bride & groom, wedding party, and family members. Our guests loved how friendly her team was to everyone and felt like they were friends by the end of the evening. When everything is in place and you've worked so hard to plan and schedule all the pieces, leave it to A Fabulous Soiree to help ensure the pieces are in place. Most important, on the day of our wedding...having A Fabulous Soiree's team saved me from worry. I knew they had everything handled and I only had to focus on enjoying all the memorable moments.

I was on the fence about a coordinator but since I only had 4 months to plan I knew I needed some help. Agnes was absolutely amazing. She responded to me at 11pm when I was overthinking a floor plan, was extremely responsive via text and email every time I reached out. I am very detail oriented and thank god she is exactly the same. Everything from the timeline to the floor plan to the set up list was meticulously put together. Day of Agnes couldn't be there so my day of coordinator was Brenda who was absolutely amazing. I literally didn't think of anything on the day of my wedding except having fun which is exactly how it should be. Agnes came to me as a recommendation from a close friend and I would absolutely recommend her and her team over and over again.

Agnes and team were wonderful! From our initial consult she put us at ease- we really wanted someone who had experience planning similar weddings to ours (we had a combined tea ceremony and then Western evening ceremony and reception at three locations). Agnes always responded quickly to any questions we had and was so helpful in creating our timeline and handling logistics. The actual day of our wedding is when I was most impressed- everything went so smoothly and it was great not to stress about details because the team was there every step of the day handling setup, reminding us where to be, keeping our wedding party on track, and making sure we had time to do all the things we prioritized (family photos, etc.). I would highly recommend AFS to anyone thinking about hiring a coordinator or planner- it's so worth it!

My husband and I definitely recommend Agnes and her team! We really appreciated how responsive and professional Agnes was when we reached out. There were a lot of things involved in wedding planning that we weren’t aware of and Agnes made sure to address them and have all our bases covered. I felt well supported every step of the way! When we had little breaks during the reception, the team made it a point to ensure that we had eaten some dinner and to take care of ourselves amidst the chaos of the day. My family and friends also talk a lot about how fun the day was and how impressed they were with how it all came together and none of this would have happened without Agnes and her team! I don’t think we could have chosen a better planner. :) Also, my husband and I were a bit anxious, especially since we’re used to being very hands on for our events, but in just the first few emails and meetings we really got a sense that we could leave our wedding in A Fabulous Soirée’s hands and not worry about every little detail. I definitely recommend A Fabulous Soirée for anyone planning a wedding who knows which vendors they need but need help seamlessly getting the day together. Thank you Agnes and team for being such amazing people!!!

Agnes and her team were amazing. She helped made my dream wedding come true. From start the finish, she was hands on, professional, on top of things, and went above and beyond. We felt very taken care of as they were dependable. She response to your messages very quick and I really appreciate that. Thank you again Afabsoire!

We knew immediately upon meeting Agnes that she would be a great fit to help coordinate our wedding. She has amazing attention to detail, kept impeccable notes, and provided a ton of information to us. She was never too busy to answer our questions or emails and always had a patient and confident attitude no matter what we threw her way. Knowing she and her team had done many events at our venue (which is how we found her), we knew she’d be familiar and capable to manage the wedding. On the wedding day, Val led the event from Agnes’ team and she was the perfect person to manage the day. She handled all the vendors, personal items, and was able to adjust the timeline on the fly as things changed or came up. She kept my husband and I comfortable and relaxed without any need to worry. Val helped to resolve a dress issue that I had with such a warm demeanor and proactive attitude. The AFS team also helped to set up our personal items and photos and made sure all the decorations were set up and looked nice. Agnes, Val, and the whole AFS team were such a joy to work with and should we ever put on another large event we would absolutely use them again to coordinate and help plan. Thank you so much for all your hard work throughout this process!!

After reaching out to a few different wedding coordinators we finally had a chance to connect with Agnes. Within the first few minutes of our initial phone chat, we felt extremely comfortable and at ease as she answered our questions and kept our conversation very casual – which is how we like to operate. From day one Agnes reduced the pressure associated with wedding planning. She reminded us of details that would have been overlooked and routinely followed up with various vendors to obtain final head count, rentals etc. Agnes and her team even helped save the day and purchased more alcohol when we were told we were running low! Everything was well organized - even little details surpassed our expectations. We kept a tight schedule and followed the timeline, so no event was missed (first dance, cake cutting etc.) To sum it up, we’re not sure anyone besides Agnes (and her team who helped on the actual wedding day) could have made us feel more confident of execution and staying on plan or as reassured and unstressed for our wedding. She is a great person who we gelled with very well because of her always positive attitude and we are extremely grateful for everything she and her team helped us with! We highly recommend Agnes for the most coordinated, detail oriented, and thoughtful wedding coordinator you could work with!

Agnes and her team are so professional and are incredibly on top of it. If you're a bride, give yourself a wedding gift and book Agnes as your coordinator. She will make sure that 1) everything goes smoothly, 2) family drama (happened at my wedding) doesn't affect you, 3) YOU GET TO EAT AT YOUR WEDDING! Agnes is amazing.

Agnes and her team were the peace of mind and expertise I needed the day of my wedding! They complied with all my requests, all the way to the small detail of my choice of a tedious napkin fold…and they did it with a smile. I recommend hiring Agnes for your wedding 100%.

Agnes was very communicative and insightful. We felt like Hollywood celebrities and Agnes was our own personal agent. Her energy was infectious and was happy to see us get married as much as we were. That’s what’s vital when planning and being a part of a wedding!

Agnes and her team at A Fabulous Soiree were amazing on the day of my wedding as well as the months leading up to it. I didn't have to rack my brain wondering if I forgot anything, because they had monthly reminders of what I should be doing (like getting my marriage license 3 months before the wedding date) and when. I was always at peace planning this wedding, because I knew I had A Fabulous Soiree on my side making sure that everything is organized and nothing forgotten. They had a timeline that they shared with all my vendors so I did not have to worry about coordinating anything. This also ensured that the day went smoothly without any delays or hiccups. My wedding was everything I wanted it to be and more and it was largely because of Agnes and her team. Agnes was also always available and prompt with her responses when I had any questions or concerns. She is kind and genuine and I never felt like I was bothering her. I also have to give a shoutout to Kim who was the one there the day of the wedding. She made sure that everything was set up and that everything was taken down properly at the end of the day. She also made sure that we stuck to our timeline and that we always had a drink in our hands! If I have ever do a vow renewal, I will definitely be using Agnes and her team again!

After speaking to about five different vendors, I was having difficulty finding the right coordinator. For example, one potential vendor never showed up to a scheduled consultation meeting, admittingly stating she had forgotten. Another vendor even tried to charge extra hours after claiming our venue had a set number of hours that a coordinator must be present for –which was later confirmed as untrue! I started to wonder if I was asking for too much. After doing some research on Wedding Wire and Instagram (@afabsoiree), I found a Fabulous Soiree. Agnes and her team had stellar reviews and even had previous experience working with our venue. From the moment I contacted her, she was responsive and professional. You know how when you talk to someone and they just get you without you having to overexplain? Well, this was how I felt about Agnes after our initial call. After speaking with my fiancé, we decided to book A Fabulous Soiree. One of my favorite aspects of Agnes’ services is having unlimited communication. There were many times when I would text Agnes random questions throughout the planning process, and it was great to have her input. Even leading up to the big day, she would check-up on me and ask if I needed anything from her. This kind gesture was greatly appreciated and really demonstrates how caring Agnes is! I also loved having complimentary access to Agnes’ rental inventory. The little things can begin to add up, so it was wonderful to be able to borrow her picture frames, card box, and cake stand. On the wedding day, Agnes was truly amazing. As a bride, you can easily get caught up in things beyond your control. Agnes really reminded us to enjoy the moment and did everything on her part to ensure we had a memorable day. She knew how to prioritize my husband and me, whether getting us food or drinks or playing crowd control when it got overwhelming for us. She was always organized and on top of the schedule. It almost seemed effortless for her, which is a true testament that her experience and positive attitude are something that can’t be matched. I highly recommend her for your big day! Thank you, Agnes!

We booked AFS back in 2019 for our 2020 wedding, but with the pandemic everything was pushed back. Agnes always checked back in whenever our new wedding date got close. (Until we had to push the date out again) Fast forward to 2022, we finally are closing in to the celebration and finalizing details has always been smooth. Agnes was the best and helped do all the communication with my other vendors. She also made sure to generate a timeline to share with the other vendors so all would be on the same page. On the day, her team was so great. They helped setup everything according to what was discussed. They made sure we were hydrated by standing by with some water. They were able to manage basically everything! We were barely pulled aside for any questions. We were able to live in the moment on our wedding day and had the best time. We had so many guests tell us what a great wedding it was and we know it wouldn’t have been as great if we didn’t have Agnes and her team’s assistance. It was so stress-free and all my husband and I had to do was celebrate with our friends and family. Highly recommend AFS to help any couples with their big day!

Having Agnes as your wedding coordinator is like having a friend by your side helping you do all your wedding planning. I had the pleasure of planning my wedding from the other side of the country and Agnes was able to make me feel at ease the ENTIRE TIME. At our initial meeting, I could tell that Agnes was organized, detail-orientated, creative, and personable - and this was what I got for all our time together. Having never planned a wedding before (as most people do), I was so grateful for Agnes being there to answer all my silly questions and soothe all my worries. I loved how communicative Agnes was and how much emphasis she puts on all her brides’/grooms’ mental wellbeing throughout the process and especially on our special day. On the day of the wedding, Agnes and her team went above and beyond by getting my forgetful (now) husband a new tie and bringing us appetizers/drinks during any downtime we had. They also made sure all the décor and timeline of events went smoothly and according to plan. If you’re looking for a badass lady and her amazing team to ensure you the best wedding experience – please stop looking and HIRE AFS!

Agnes and her team are fantastic! Not only are they stellar at their job, they're also some of the most down to earth people we know. Their eye for detail and calm demeanor made wedding planning such an easy process. If you're looking for a trusted coordinator, I would HIGHLY recommend reaching out to AFS. They're simply the best.

Agnes was truly a godsend during the wedding planning process! She is friendly and extremely easy to talk to. She was in constant communication with us and responded promptly to any questions or concerns we had. Agnes and her team were attentive and supportive throughout the wedding day, constantly checking in on us to see how we were feeling and if we needed anything. It felt like having one of your close friends handle all the important details so we didn’t have to! We would wholeheartedly recommend Agnes and her team to any of our friends and family.

I am so so so glad that I decided to choose A Fabulous Soiree to coordinate my wedding. Agnes was so punctual in everything and I didn’t feel any stress throughout the whole planning process. She was quick to respond to messages, answer all my questions, and even went above and beyond on details that I almost missed on the wedding day. She is always so positive and makes wedding planning so easy, that I would choose her again for any event! And thanks to Valerie for capturing a beautiful candid shot during my big day!

Agnes and her team were spectacular helping us navigate every detail of our wedding. She helped make sure everything ran smoothly. She met with us many times to ensure everything was set for the big day. We worked with her for several months leading up to the wedding. She coordinated all our vendors for us and made our lives so much easier even during this crazy pandemic. She has everything that you could possibly need for emergencies. We loved working with Agnes.

I don't have enough amazing things to say about Agnes and the A Fabulous Soiree team! After coming highly recommended by our venue and our first initial email, I knew that we would be a good fit. I work in the film industry and thought that I would be able to handle planning most things on my own, but I would not have been able to handle it all without Agnes. She had so many great suggestions and vendor recommendations; it made the super stressful process so much easier! Hire Agnes and her team immediately!!!

Having planned many events in my life I thought I could totally do this and just hire a day of coordinator. If I could go back in time I would have hired Agnes to plan everything. The team is perfection. Agnes' knowledge, skills, and enthusiasm are greater than any problem we encountered (planning a wedding during a pandemic). She was always accessible, and always ready with excellent ideas and suggestions. We would not be married and our events would not have happened without A Fabulous Soirree!

A Fabulous Soiree is the sole reason our wedding went off without any problems. We would not have been able to do this without the help of their team. Everything from planning the wedding, to getting the day ready, to the end of the night was perfection. I can not say enough good things about AFS!

Hi Agnes, Thanks for being so helpful and referring us to a great wedding coordinator just one week before our wedding! We were very pleased with our work with Brenda. I know you did a lot of legwork to find us a referral so we greatly appreciate you for doing this research. Thanks, John & Bruce

Agnes and her team were amazing! She helped us so much and our wedding was so much fun. Highly recommend to anyone!

Earlier this month, I had the opportunity to work with Agnes and her team for a wedding at the Maxwell House in Pasadena (I'm a wedding DJ). From start to finish, it was clear that Agnes cared about the couple and was willing to put in the time/effort needed to make sure even the smaller details were perfect. She even attended one of the meetings I had with the couple (which I've found is rare for a wedding planner/coordinator). This was certainly not expected of her, but it really made a difference in making sure all of us were in sync on the couple's timeline. At the wedding itself, Agnes and her team were attentive, friendly, and professional. Setup was completed early, the venue looked incredible, and the timeline ran smoothly. The couple was super happy at the end of the wedding! I'd gladly work with A Fabulous Soirée again, and I'd highly recommend them to any couples in need of a planner.

Super trustworthy, organized, and always a pleasure to work with! Agnes helped me formulate a backup wedding in case Covid restrictions wouldn't allow a traditional wedding, and her team made sure my wedding ran seamlessly! Hire her as your coordinator now, you won't regret it!!

Details, Details, Details!! Honestly, when picking a wedding coordinator/planner, you need to have someone who is easy to work with, someone who is OCD about the details, and someone who puts down the "sunset time," on your wedding day! Ultimately it is YOUR wedding, so you need to find someone whom you won't be afraid to bother because he/she is there to make your perfect day become reality. Agnes and A Fabulous Soiree fits that bill and now having completed our wedding, and digested it, we could not be happier. We were blessed to have someone like Agnes work with us during this whole pandemic craziness. It was her first time guiding a couple through all the restrictions, rules, health regulations as well, so we all felt like we were equal partners/friends going along for this ride. She was always encouraging, gave us hope during the low moments, and was always down to help us out and provide feedback. Hire Agnes at A Fabulous Soiree, you won't regret it!

Planning a wedding during a pandemic is stressful, to say the least. We had to change our wedding plans 4-5 times due to the ever-changing gathering/dining restrictions. However, Agnes met us each step of the way with positivity and an energy that kept us excited about our wedding day. Her punctuality/timeliness speaks to her professionalism. Her genuine interest in the bride/groom’s desires for their special day — despite all the logistical changes and restrictions — speaks to her genuine heart.

We found Agnes by way of recommendation from one of our friends shortly after we got engaged, and we could not be more grateful to have worked with such a wonderful coordinator! Agnes was very organized, communicative, approachable, and patient (she was ALWAYS happy to answer all of our questions – believe me, we had so many questions!). We felt prepared for our wedding day, as Agnes ironed out every detail with us and walked us through our timeline. Our wedding day was seamless – Agnes and her assistant, Valerie, handled the vendors, took care of all the small details, set up and tore down everything without us noticing, made sure we were comfortable, and made sure we kept to our time. We even had extra time for ourselves to enjoy during the wedding! At the end of the night, everything we had brought to the venue was neatly packed and ready to go. We'd recommend Agnes 100 times over!

A Fabulous Soiree was absolutely top notch. Agnes was so responsive, we were blown away by how quickly she would follow up with us, how organized she was and how great she was at also keeping us organized and on track with anything on our to-do list. She listened to all of our ideas and immediately was on board and would jump on figuring out solutions to any problem. Most importantly, COVID-19 completely turned all of our wedding plans upsidedown and Agnes was so flexible and ready to help us through any change in plans at the drop of a hat. We went through planning at least three versions of our wedding due to constant changes in COVID-19 restrictions, and Agnes had a game plan ready for every scenario. We ended up needing to have a very unconventional wedding to ensure all of our family was able to safely celebrate with us, and Agnes and her team went above and beyond to make sure that happened. The fact that Agnes was so ready and eager to help us find a way to have our wedding take place, and the fact that she had such a great can-do attitude despite all of the COVID-19 obstacles really kept us going and meant a lot to us that she was so passionate about her work and helping us have a great wedding day even under difficult circumstances.

I had a surprised bridal shower by A Fab Soiree and friends. Agnes was my bridesmaid and she led the planning and execution of the event. I might be biased but I think it might just be the best shower ever! Agnes transformed my parents backyard to be a hot air balloon, high tea wonderland. The emaculate details that goes into the planning is just amazing. I couldn't imagine the space being used the way it did, totally exceeded my expectations. Agnes is very talented and resourceful. She also helped me made custom save the date cards and the most beautiful custom wedding invitation. She can make custom prints on shirts and bags, make invitations, backdrops, floral arrangements, you name it, she can do it! She always finds ways to improve and test her limits. I totally recommend Agnes and her company, A Fab Soiree to anyone that needs a planner. Agnes is reliable and a great communicator. Shes patient and friendly, she listens to what her client needs and always delivers. She will guide you with her expertise and experience, shares recommendations and make your special day, extra extra special.

Agnes Sam came highly recommended to help bring us to the finish line for our wedding. From our first interaction, I could tell we were going to have a great experience. She was patient, prepared and instilled confidence in us as we got closer to the big day. She had experience running the entire show from planning to day-of, so she shared helpful advise and came up with great solutions for things that would come up. Our wedding day couldn’t have gone any better. Not without its typical surprises that you’d expect from the biggest day of your lives, Agnes and her team guided us through the day without stress or panic. We felt at ease, informed and, most importantly, happy. If you are looking for a professional, caring and amazing wedding planner or day-of coordinator, Agnes and her AFS team is your answer. You won’t be disappointed, just happy on the happiest day of your life.

After our first consultation with Agnes, I knew I wanted to book her for our wedding. She is super friendly and personable. Well, she’s just plain AWESOME! I loved how organized she is and how quickly she responded whether it was via email, call, or text. Although there were some hiccups with the venue, with her assistance they were quickly resolved, which really helped lower my wedding stress. She took on all the small details and followed-up with the vendors to ensure all of venue’s requirements were fulfilled. I couldn’t imagine planning this wedding without her. Thanks to Agnes and her assistant, Valerie, our wedding in November 2019 turned out wonderfully and beyond what we had hoped for! I can’t believe how smoothly our special day went. I wouldn’t have changed a thing. I highly recommend Agnes from A Fabulous Soiree! ❤️

Thanks to Agnes and her team, our wedding far exceeded our expectations. Our wedding was a year and a half in the making, and since our first consultation with Agnes, she's made the planning and booking process a breeze. She was constantly in communication with us and was always a call or email away. On the wedding day, she continually checked on me to see how I was doing and made sure my husband and I were savoring every moment. Thanks to Agnes and her team, our wedding was beyond what we hoped for, and she's definitely our first recommendation to family and friends.
