A few years ago I attended a wedding where the couple didn't have a planner. Things got so chaotic that I decided to step in and take over. I later asked if they had a planner and they told me, "No. We started planning ourselves, got overwhelmed and couldn't find any planners to take our wedding because we were only 2 months from the wedding date." That's when I knew I wanted to help couples plan those big events, especially when it's crunch time. Thus Events in a Crunch was born! Couples deserve experts who'll bring order to a busy day, bring budget optimized design, and remove stress when it counts.

Adaobi I has been an absolute godsend throughout my wedding planning process. I honestly couldn't have managed without her. I was struggling to stay organized and create an event schedule for my two-day celebration, but Adaobi stepped in and crafted a detailed spreadsheet based on my vision. It was like a weight was lifted off my shoulders as she transformed my disorganized thoughts into a coherent plan.
Not only did she handle the logistics, but she also took on the task of delegating responsibilities to my maid of honor and moderator, significantly reducing my stress. We even conducted a full rehearsal of the wedding, and I can confidently say that having someone like Adaobi will make your wedding run seamlessly. She understands my desires and bring my wedding dreams to life.
Adaobi is incredibly professional, highly skilled with Excel, and extremely knowledgeable about wedding planning. She took care of contacting and coordinating with all the vendors, which was a huge relief. She also served as the toastmaster and coordinator, handling every detail with expertise. If you're getting married, having someone like Adaobi in your corner is essential.

I'm so glad we found them! Their team was there for us in every way. Our planner even played coach and therapist when stressful moments came up. They helped bring our vision to life and we couldn't have had a wedding without them.

It was a great experience working with Adobe! As a DJ I appreciate coordinators that understand how to support the flow of the ceremony and reception. I would recommend Adobe and her business to anyone who's on the lookout for an awesome coordinator!

I had a great experience with Events in a Crunch! First, communication with Adaobe was great! The services we chose were affordable, and within our budget. We worked with Mel as our coordinator, and she was wonderful to work with, she understood our vision and executed it by properly managing our wedding day. When minor mishaps arose she quickly jumped in and resolved them. We had the best wedding experience!

Adaobi and her team at Events in a Crunch were wonderful to work with for our wedding in Austin at Zilker Botanical gardens. We loved the ease of use with the portal, & Adaobi and her team were very responsive. They helped ensure that the vision we had for our day was well executed & addressed any issues that arose. We highly recommend Events in a Crunch!

We did not have a super fantastic experience with Mel. Although she is very sweet and we appreciate her help with coordinating vendor arrival and misc venue technicalities, the actual wedding timeline and preparatio was lackluster. She lost the pdf for our table design (it should've been printed..) and we had multiple guests tell us that she was just standing around looking uncertain and not really doing anything. There was a complete miscommunication about our arrival time with the venue. One of our bridesmaids said she asked her what was planned next in the wedding (?). At one point me, her and the photographer were discussing what to do next re: rain plan and we agreed on one thing and she immediately announced the completely wrong thing to everyone. There was also not much communication about what day of coordinator don't do. We had a guest notice she was just standing around the entrance waiting for guests to arrive while my bridesmaids were putting decor up. There were also a few things that did not get done at all - I told her specific placement for some of our items which was completely ignored, and we had an important request that religious statues be moved or covered, which also did not happen. (I did confirm with the venue multiple times that we were allowed to do this, so a yard statue of Mary was greeting people at our Jewish wedding...)
We also had to make a rain plan last minute for the wedding and received kind've a bitchy email about how they can't guarantee new information will be reviewed a certain point before the wedding. Super off putting.
I do not think this service is worth the price at all and we've decided not to tip. Too many mistakes for me to consider them trustworthy.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us and we're so sorry to hear your wedd...
ing day didn't turn out as hoped. Saturday's rainstorm threw many things for a loop and I can assure you that any tasks left out on our team's part were necessary adjustments in order to support vendors and guests as they navigated the slippery and somewhat rocky terrain. Having to maintain several parts of a wedding; ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner reception, in one space comes with several challenges since - due to the rain storm - the entire venue space was no longer accessible. These things are of course no one's fault as no one can predict the severity of a storm. But as coordinators, we do everything in our power to support event flows because we know the show must go on :)
One thing I sincerely apologize for is the religious statues. We know this request was previously shared with the venue and they didn't move the statues on your behalf. While moving furniture isn't something we do -as is outlined in our contract and website-, I apologize that when we learned of the request 2 days prior to the event that our team didn't have enough time to make accommodations with a separate mover company to ensure the venue was reflective of your spiritual needs. I also apologize that our email before the event was received as bitchy as we said that "we will always do our very best to accommodate any new info that comes in" also leading up to the day, a financial decision was made in a group email to not add overtime coordination hours to extend our day from the standard 10 hrs (1pm-11pm) to a 12hr day (11am-11pm) that would have been needed for our team to conduct the venue walk through. Instead, either the couple or a member of the wedding party would be present for this early arrival and walk through with the venue manager. I'm sorry to hear there was some confusion on that part.
As a small business, we do our very best to support each event in every way we can. When new information arrives in our email inbox 2 days before an event, as a very small team it can easily take 3 days for us to get to message, and be able to fully take action on those important details. We make a final planning meeting available to all couples to ensure we have a face-to-face discussion and can review any aspects of their decorative vision so nothing gets lost in translation. That is the unfortunate downside to receiving such important decorative details over email just 2 days before an event.
We believe that your wedding day and every wedding is a sacred moment in time and thank you for inviting us to be part of that day. They say rain on a wedding day is good luck and I hope the intensity of last week's storm brings endless joy to your union.

Adaobi, Mel, and Cher were absolutely phenomenal as our wedding day coordinators. From the moment we met them, we knew we were in good hands. They meticulously ensured that every detail of our timeline ran smoothly, leaving no room for hiccups or stress on our special day.
Their professionalism and attention to detail were evident in every aspect of their work. From helping with setup to orchestrating the flow of events seamlessly, they went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect.
Not only were they incredibly organized and efficient, but they were also a joy to work with. Their positive energy and calming presence helped alleviate any nerves we had, allowing us to fully enjoy every moment of our wedding day.
Adaobi, Mel, and Cher truly exceeded our expectations, and we are forever grateful for their hard work and dedication. We couldn't have asked for better wedding day coordinators, and we highly recommend them to anyone looking for a stress-free and unforgettable wedding experience.

Adaobi did an incredible job! She asked all the right questions along with the ones I didn’t even think of. Every detail was spectacular! She was energetic, charismatic, eager to get things done and followed up with proper deadlines. I would HIGHLY recommend her and her company for any of your events.

Genuinely calm, cool and collected in times of wedding events that have gone sideways in the day. Adaobi helped guide both myself (photographer) and videographer when traffic had us (coming from roughly 2hours away) completely behind schedule. Helped me gather details from both sets of families for details and made the day run so smooth! excellent communication, and just a life saver of a coordinator.

So glad we could be the strong support system you needed to do your very best! Can't wait ...

Adaobi is a STELLAR thought partner and executor. It’s hard to know where to even start with this review. She has a way of turning the smallest kernel of an idea into a VISION that she brings to life with small details that I never could have thought of. It’s these details that made the wedding feel so personal and unique, not just something cut and paste from a Pinterest board. The attention to detail really made the wedding feel like it had a big budget. Most importantly, she is FUN to work with and that translates to a FUN wedding for all. She keeps the potential needs of each guest in mind (whether elderly or new mom or coming solo), so that it is inclusive and enjoyable for ALL invited guests. 100% recommend. One meeting with Events in a Crunch and you’ll see what I mean.

Couldn’t be happier with the service. Adaobi planned an unforgettable milestone birthday, and fun-filled bachelorette. It was such a blast!
She was incredibly responsive and just so thoughtful with how we could make the most of these important moments while staying within my budget and adding personal touches.

Adaobi was so easy and nice to work with! She thinks 2 steps ahead and genuinely wants your wedding to be spectacular. I dont think the wedding could have been as memorable without her running things behind the scenes. She helped find us delicious caterers and negotiated for the best price. The wedding felt like it was twice the price than what we paid considering we had food, drink, alcohol, entertainment, and dancing all in an amazing venue right here in Austin! I cant thank her enough for making that day so special
