Faten and Events by Faten was a dream to work with. From the initial consultation call to the day of the event Faten ensured that everything went smoothly without a hitch and overall that my husband and I were happy with everything. Faten took ...the time to listen to any ideas we had, respected items and traditions we did not want for our wedding and had the utmost patients with us navigating this process where we were unsure. She was able to take our various ideas, incorporating our own sense of style and vision cultivating it into a beautiful ceremony that was exactly what we were unable to put into words. She used her amazing network of vendors to help us choose a catering service, bakery, DJ, and photographer that both works with our budget and are aligned with our overall theme for our event. There was not any step in the process where we had any doubts or felt left out of the information loop. She remained professional and organized throughout this entire process, which we both very much appreciated as adding the stress of wedding planning to our already hectic lives would have been a nightmare. Faten accompanied us to all of our venue viewings and tastings gathering more ideas for our wedding as well as offering much-appreciated input. Truly she made this feel less like a business transaction coordinating an event and more comfortable like old friends planning a wedding. There was never a lack of communication as we had several email threads, phone calls, or in-person meetups to go over progress status, where we stood within our budget, what was needed to book or review giving us ample opportunity to ask any questions, make any suggestions or voice any concerns. Through these encounters, she learned more and more about our personalities which helped her pull together a wedding that was unique to who we are as a couple. Through the important process of finding our ceremony and reception venue she really listened and cared to what we wanted and was able to select venues that fit perfectly with our vision, in the end finding one that both met our wants as well as within our budget. She was very mindful of our budget and was always on point in keeping us in the know when we were nearing our specified cap, and if we were going to go over by how much and if there was anything we could change or omit if we weren’t inclined to go over. She put in the extensive time, effort, and research into putting together a memorable night for us and the wedding hadn’t even happened yet! She was nothing short of exceptional come our wedding day coordination everyone in the chaos, making sure everything was absolutely perfect, and most importantly everyone was happy (as much as anyone person can please everyone). Most importantly, she made me feel at ease and I didn’t worry about anything as I knew this day was in the most capable hands. Our wedding turned out better than I could have ever imagined, and I could not have chosen a better person to be my wedding planner. The care, consideration, and compassion she puts into her job, my wedding, and likely any event that she coordinates is nothing short of perfect, you can tell she absolutely loves making dreams come true. I even received many compliments from my family for the wonderful job she had done. I can not recommend her enough, and while I don’t plan on getting married again, should I have any other big events that need to be coordinated she is my definite go-to.
