I had very high standards for a wedding coordinator. I interviewed several, and while they seemed very professional and capable, something did not feel right. The first time I talk...ed to Faten, I knew she was the perfect fit for my personality and wedding vision. I signed the contract immediately after interviewing her, and it was one of the best decisions I made in my wedding planning process. When I tell you nothing went wrong on my wedding day, big or small, I mean NOT A SINGLE THING! It was genuinely perfect, and every single thing went according to plan. A few specific examples: Faten set up all my vendor schedules for me, including hair, makeup, photography, and transportation for the morning of the wedding. Everything was perfectly on schedule, to the point where I was early to my own wedding! And I was completely stress-free and unplugged the entire morning. I also had a Catholic mass wedding, photos in a second location, then the reception in a third location, but everything ran completely smoothly and stayed on schedule because of Faten's flexibility and experience. Faten also did my (complicated!) bustle for me during dinner with no practice after I forgot to have my sister do it after we took photos, snuck my husband and I into the venue and upstairs so we could have a dramatic surprise entrance (which was her amazing idea, btw), and was entirely flexible when I decided during the wedding to have a longer receiving line and come to the reception later. I could give a million more examples like this. Also, I didn't even mention the amount of photos and videos her team was able to capture too (over 200!)! I never expected that from them, and it was an amazing surprise the next day.
Faten was also amazing during the planning process -- she was incredibly organized, responsive, and had a million good ideas. I literally took the bar exam two weeks before I got married, and was still far less stressed than many of my friends who had planned a wedding, because Faten kept everything on track. I would think of something random, like vendor meals, and text her about it, only for her to respond immediately and say it was already handled!
I can't recommend Faten enough. I told her after the wedding I'm happy to be a reference for her, so if you want to chat me, feel free to ask her for my contact information. I've told my own engaged friends to hire Faten's team, and would tell anyone in the world they're making a mistake to go anywhere else. So many people remarked how wonderful the guest experience was at my wedding as well, so your guests will be very happy too. If you don't hire Events by Faten, you will regret it!
