Amazing experience with Iman, over delivered and made the experience a breeze. I felt in such good hands with her, I was so much less stressed bc she was handling all the details. Hardly any bridezilla moments bc of her! I would definitely recommend, she offers so much value, I couldn't have imagined handling our wedding without her help! Thanks Iman!

Our venue required a day of coordinator so I threw out a Facebook post looking for recommendations and found Iman. I had no idea that she was going to be so amazing. She was so hel...
pful, quick to respond, and did so much for us that we were not expecting for a day of coordinator to provide. We are so grateful for her and 10/10 recommend. She alleviated so much stress and made our wedding day a success.

We were planning a vow renewal in Fort Lauderdale area while living in MN- so we decided we needed someone who was in FL to assist with the event planning- we had our initial conve...
rsation with Iman & hired her that day- her vibe & knowledge of the industry and area put us at an immediate ease. Iman went ABOVE & BEYOND in her role as our event planner- she kept us(me) grounded and realistic with expectations for how our weekend would flow. Not only did she takeover when I went into decision fatigue & messaged me with options for tables/aisle decor- but she had even better ideas than I could have asked for! I would not have been able to pull this off without her- she made our weekend a true success and we had SO much fun! I am forever grateful for her and you should hire her immediately to plan your event :)

From my very first conversation with Iman on phone, I knew that she was the perfect fit to what we envisioned our big day to have.
Iman was everything we hoped and more. She atten...
ded every meeting we had with vendors and asked the questions we wouldn't even think of asking. She made suggestions and gave referrals, which were incredibly helpful for a bride who had no idea what she was doing. She worked her butt off the day of to make sure everything ran smoothly and looked perfect. I could go on and on about how she made our wedding perfect, and it still wouldn't hold a candle to the gratitude I have for Iman.
Through everything, she was professional, courteous, kind, and I truly felt like I had a friend in our corner working for our best interests. She made the best day of our lives truly the BEST day of our lives.

We found Cook Event Planning at the wedding Expo in Tampa. I was looking for someone to handle my day of wedding coordinating and I found her and her prices were more than reasonab...
le. She went above and beyond day of coordinator. She reached out months in advance to check in and make sure I didn’t need anything. And she’s took all the wedding decorations and made it in to an amazing wedding reception! Better than we could of asked for.

Iman was our month-of coordinator, and to be honest we couldn't have done it without her. She was so organized, made sure every vendor and key wedding participant knew when things...
were happening, and helped with just every aspect. Then, the day of she hustled from 8:30am until the day was over, and that was much later than the guests were there so she could inspect vendor clean-up. She personally made sure every detail was perfect, checking and double-checking lists, taking care of last minute oopsies and just incredibly THERE, immersed in the day. I can't say enough about how much we valued and appreciated her services and expertise. She is a gem, please reach out and see if you don't love her as much as we did. Thank you Iman!

Iman at Cook Event Planning is a true gem! You cannot go wrong with hiring her as your wedding planner.
From our initial consult, Iman was friendly and professional. While we hir...
ed her for month of coordination, since we were planning from out of state, Iman went out of her way to meet us for our tasting to gain further clarity on our vision for our big day.
She was always available to answer any questions, make recommendations, and even helped us clear up an issue with our DJ that arose under the 2 month mark. Iman took so much stress off my plate the day of - creating a timeline that ran smoothly and incorporated things we really wanted that may not be the "norm". Everything was set up when we arrived at the venue, while she was also running between the bride and groom getting ready spots to ensure everyone was taken care of there.
I could go on and on about Iman and her services! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Iman. We are so thankful to have found you as a planner, and now a lifelong friend!
