Events by Evelyn

t ease since the first day. We asked for a lot from her and she delivered each and every time. Our wedding was a multicultural wedding, mixing both Jamaican and Eritrean cultures throughout. Evelyn was recommended with that in mind and immediately connected us with various options across multiple vendors. From florists, photographers, DJ's and more her gallery of connections were great to choose from. Evelyn met with us once a month for a year leading up to the wedding and was extremely organized with her notes. Each time we met we understood all responsibilities when leaving the call. As we got closer to the wedding date and things got more busy in our own lives she was able to step in and get us to the alter with our sanity intact. The wedding day was absolutely magnificent. You know the sign of a good planner when on the day of, everything is a blur and none of the complaints or issues make it to you. The day was a dream for my wife and I and we could not have done it without Evelyn's expertise.

details and made sure that all of my requests were met. Her creativity and expertise were on full display as she designed the ceremony space and reception to perfection. She also handled everything with vendors and coordinated outside vendors for the flowers, photographer, and videographer at my wedding. Not only was Evelyn incredibly professional, but she was also sympathetic and understanding. When my grandmother passed away, she sent a lovely gift that truly touched my heart. Her dedication to her clients goes above and beyond what is expected of a wedding planner. Throughout the planning process, Evelyn stayed on task and sent reminders to ensure that everything was on schedule. On the day of the wedding, she made sure that everything ran smoothly, which allowed me to enjoy the day without any worries. After the wedding, Evelyn worked with me to make sure that I received all of my pictures and videos, which I truly appreciated. Overall, working with Evelyn Kibwana was an amazing experience, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a professional, attentive, and caring wedding planner who will make your special day an unforgettable experience.

r a beautiful wedding and a planning team that keeps it real. Evelyn was there for us from the beginning to now. I truly thankful for all her support. She listened to our wants, helped us figure out how to make it happen within our budget and delivered our beautiful wedding!

ed options), to keeping us on a timeline that was manageable the whole step of the way, to being with us in St. Maarten and putting out last minute fires. She gave us ideas that matched our vision, was honest if/when she thought something might not work or would be difficult, and helped us brainstorm tweaks when we needed it. She kept a good spirit the whole time and also knew how to be forward with vendors to ensure we were treated properly and had what we needed. If we didn't have her help, it never would have happened. But when it did, let's just say, everyone was blown away. Our wedding was unforgettable and Evelyn helped us make that happen.

xtremely knowledgeable and organized - it really shows in the work that she does. I really appreciated her thoroughness - from the beginning to end. I never felt like I was out of the loop or missing anything (this was such a relief as wedding planning is stressful!). She made sure I had everything I needed - video calls, check ins, finalizing timelines, and confirming details with all of my vendors. My wedding day was absolutely perfect - I was able to truly enjoy the day with my husband, friends, and family. I didn’t have to stress or worry about anything the day of and that’s because of Evelyn’s hard work. She was there to solve any issues that came up and made sure the day went as expected. I cannot recommend Evelyn enough. If you need a wedding planner or even a day of coordinator, I highly recommend her!

invaluable. Not one regret in hiring her.

one else but her. Evelyn is very organized and has a great tool to help manage your budget, notes, and all the to dos that will creep up on you. It was important to us to have a diverse group of vendors and do what we could to stick to a budget, and Evelyn was always honest with us as to what we could feasibly do and willing to find solutions. She made the week and day of the wedding an absolute breeze. We cannot recommend her highly enough!

learned we were expecting and I quickly realized I was going to need help! I began searching different planner sites and I had phone meetings with my final two planners. Upon my initial conversation with Evelyn I was “SOLD”. Her professionalism, her attentiveness and passion won me over! With less than a year to plan and pregnant we got the ball rolling. Evelyn didn’t miss a beat. Not only did she execute my vision but she also brought to light things I wasn’t aware of. She’s full of ideas, patience and serious about her work. Events by Evelyn is very professional and yet personable. Evelyn is very hands on and knowledgeable. Hiring her was definitely a smart move for our wedding. I truly enjoyed working with her for the following reasons: Flexible, she understood my life. Pregnant with a special needs child starting Kindergarten and a preteen Evelyn was very understanding and flexible when it came to scheduling meetings/calls. She kept me on a timeline making sure I didn’t miss a beat but made sure to work around feedings, school needs and family time. Compassionate, about two weeks before our wedding we lost my Mother In Love. Evelyn told me to take the week to do what we needed to handle that. She answered all emails and handled any business she could with ease. I was very comfortable and confident to take care of what was needed for my Husband with no stress about the wedding because the planning was in great hands!! Lastly she’s great working under pressure (and applying it when needed with vendors 😉). The day before the wedding it SNOWED!!! My original makeup artist wasn’t able to make it to the venue; however when Evelyn returned she had 2 artist ready to get the job done and I had NO CLUE, of the stress that was taking place. Looking back I’m truly thankful for that, because of her I had the opportunity to enjoy my day to the fullest. So if you want someone who takes care of business, is compassionate and professional. Search no more Events by Evelyn is the way to go. Thanks for everything Evelyn, and wishing you continuous blessings. Vernica & Micheaux

dible experience we could have ever imagined! Any time I was overwhelmed or stressed, which inevitably happens when planning a wedding, she always had helpful input and suggestions to keep me moving in the right direction. Any time I voiced even a mild bit of concern about something, she was there with a solution. Every time I talked with her, I came away from the the meeting relieved and confident that she was there taking care of things! Evelyn’s eye for design and detail is unmatched. She has great ideas and unique suggestions that really gave my wedding an extra something. Many of our guests commented on how our wedding was the most beautiful one they’ve been to—a true fairytale wedding. Evelyn’s team was also very professional and did a great job setting up and breaking down our event. The florals Evelyn’s team did for us were breathtaking. Evelyn also has great vendor suggestions and was very good managing and communicating with our vendors. On our wedding day, I was able to relax and enjoy the day knowing everything was in Evelyn’s capable hands. She went way above and beyond and I can’t thank her and her team enough. Most of all, she was a great friend to me through the process. I am lucky I had the opportunity to work with her. Evelyn will make the wedding of your dreams a reality!

h us and was there every step of the way making sure it was as smooth and stress free as possible. I can’t imagine having worked with anyone else. Her keen sense for detail, her professionalism, and her awesome personality made the whole process worth while and I am beyond grateful for everything that she did for us and our big day. Thank you Evelyn for everything! You are the best!!!

kindness, and closeness that I rarely see in the event planning industry. From the beginning, she took the time to get to know my husband and I, and our love story. It's clear she genuinely loved us, and wanted to give us the best, most authentic wedding possible. And it was. My husband and I had no idea what we wanted in terms of design; Evelyn took every jumbled thought in our head and actualized a gorgeous, whimsical day. Design and details are her expertise. Expect to be wowed with every choice--from the color palette, to unique guestbooks, to the types of flowers in your bouquets. She is not afraid to go against the norm, with bursts of color and unconventional choices for attire. Evelyn encouraged us to let our personalities shine; so many compliments from our wedding are thanks to her and her encouragment to be bold and original. It is a true gift to be able to say that our wedding reflected each of our personalities, and our love story, perfectly. Finally, Evelyn dealt with different strong personalities with ease. You typically hear that your wedding is going to be the best day of your life, but you don't hear about how stressful it can be if you don't have the right support. Evelyn is that support. She is an expert mediator who will put you and your partner first, and make sure you remember it's *your* day. She balances creativity, organization, and warmth with ease. I feel that we've made a friend for life. I can't imagine hiring anyone else to plan my future events. Evelyn is our girl!

making planning a breeze for us! The best decision we made was hiring Events by Evelyn!

sooner. You won’t regret it!

ing day. Her experience and insight proved invaluable to creating a perfect wedding day. There is nothing more that we could've asked for from her. She truly exceeded our expectations!

h my wedding, helped me get back in line with my schedule, budget, wants and needs, and has been a tremendous help with dealing with vendors. She basically alleviated the “wedding stresses” I had and made me feel confident that my wedding day will go smooth. On top of that my wedding was impacted COVID-19 and she has been more than accommodating. Due to Covid my husband and I decided to get eloped and she was there by our side every step of the way. On top of that she will be there once we can have a safe big celebration as well and I couldn’t imagine the day without her! She is kind, does everything with grace, is well organized, and her designs and visions for my big day get me excited every time we speak! I can honestly say Evelyn has been more than a wedding planner. She has been a friend, a cheerleader for my husband and I, and my back bone when it comes to all things wedding. If you’re looking for a wedding planner that will be there for you through and through I highly recommend Evelyn without a doubt!

m 175 to 25, ordering new rentals and facilitating a live stream for our wedding. Planning a wedding is difficult enough under normal circumstances but planning a micro-wedding in the midst of a pandemic is a whole different story. But having Evelyn on our side made this much less stressful than it could’ve been. Evelyn was beyond helpful throughout this whole process. She was always willing to hop on a call or video conference to discuss wedding details or answer any questions me or my mother had. She was phenomenal at communicating with vendors and came to each of our check ins with great updates and a plan to address any concerns that may have been raised. Her organizational skills are TOP TIER, and she truly has a plan for every possible scenario. Even on the day of the wedding our DJ didn’t show, but I didn’t notice a thing because there was a DJ in place when I walked down the aisle. The wedding timeline she put together was spectacular and it really made me feel good to have someone coordinating all the details before, during and after the wedding. I can’t thank Evelyn enough for being so warm, relatable, professional and absolutely amazing!!! I highly recommend Evelyn to any bride who wants a top tier coordinator. We only did the day of coordination package but in hindsight I wish I would’ve absolutely done full wedding planning/coordination. Evelyn will forever be a part of my family and the memories of our special day. If you need a coordinator...BOOK HER NOW!!YOU WON’T REGRET IT!!

th every penny and so much more! She truly went over and beyond, and my wedding turned out gorgeous and she’s super talented and creative and even with last minute changes (due to Covid) everything came out amazing! Her professionalism and expertise really shined through and I highly recommend her for anything she puts her hands to do! Best wedding planner ever!!! Book her today!!!! You will NOT regret it! 💕💕💕
