Working with Amaira from FabDay events was by far the best decision I made in regards to my wedding (aside from my groom, of course). Amaira is everything you could ask for in a wedding planner; she is highly professional-- there was a never a time I questioned her judgement from the smallest decision to the biggest one; she is also quite savvy in the wedding business and is up to date on the latest trends and faux pas. Amaira has great connections with vendors and is honest about expectation management.
Communication is certainly one of Amaira's strongest skills; there was never a missed call or text between the two of us and there was never a time I felt I couldn't reach out to her regardless of how minute the worry. She was also professional when speaking with potential vendors and venues and I felt comfortable with her reaching out to them on my behalf. Staying within the budget was a huge deal for me and Amaira really took that into consideration with every decision she made; she fought on my behalf to find the fairest price and truly took it upon herself to find highest quality services for me.
I initially sought out FabDay events because I was hoping to have my wedding in New York; however, plans changed and she was kind enough to help me plan an entirely different wedding in an entirely new city.
Amaira works tirelessly to make her couples happy and it truly shows. She is down to earth and loves what she does; I couldn't recommend her more highly.

Amaira at FabDay Events was instrumental in bringing our wedding to life over the course of a year, and flowing seamlessly on our wedding day itself.
Throughout the planning process, Amaira managed the many moving parts. She provided clear deadlines for any decisions the two of us needed to make, and assured us that the things which were out of our control stayed on-track. She handled the majority of vendor correspondence and shielded us from unnecessary stress.
Amaira researched many venue options in Connecticut that fit our budget and vision, then gathered detailed information and helped us schedule walkthroughs at our top choices. Then she connected us with DJs, photographers, florists, hair stylists, and makeup artists - for most of them, she even attested to the quality of their service based on her past experience with them - and she made sure that all relevant parties were aware of my hearing disability and took steps to accommodate my needs. We were happy with the vendors we landed on.
As our wedding day drew near, Amaira created and distributed a wedding-day timeline for us and all our vendors, which covered preparation, the ceremony, the reception, and everything in between (including hydration/snack reminders!). When the day came, she and her team coordinated our vendors to ensure that everything ran smoothly. Our guests had clarity on what was happening, and where things were happening, throughout the day, and the atmosphere of the whole event was comfortable and exactly what we'd hoped for.
We strongly recommend Amaira and FabDay Events for their expertise and the peace of mind they provide throughout the wedding planning process!

Hiring Amaira and her team is the hands down the best money you’ll spend on your wedding. We hired her for month-of coordination for our NJ wedding, and her and her colleague Sarah honestly went above and beyond to help us have a weekend we genuinely enjoyed.
Even though we hired Amaira and her team to step in the month or two before our wedding, Amaira held my hand THROUGHOUT the months-long planning process, advising me on vendors and complex logistics (we had a large backyard wedding.) Her demeanor was that of a trusted friend.
Leading up to the day-of, Sarah got up to speed on every last detail we had planned. And on our wedding day, she executed so masterfully that we didn’t have to think about a single thing. Many wedding coordinators can give off intense vibes while at work, but Sarah was so at ease and had a smile on her face. My husband and I got to completely relax and focus on each other, and have the day of our dreams. I honestly don’t know how we would have had as great an experience without them.

Their attention to detail, creativity, and organization were truly outstanding. Every aspect of our day went off without a hitch, and we were able to fully enjoy our celebration thanks to their expert coordination. Highly recommend to anyone looking to make their wedding day unforgettable!

I worked with Fab day events for the day of coordinator service- Amaira and Amanda went above and beyond for us. Most importantly, they created a detailed timeline for the day and were always there to answer any questions we had. Leading up to our wedding we had weekly check ins and many text exchanges to finalize things. Amanda was especially helpful on the big day—organizing vendors, collecting documentation, and ensuring everything ran smoothly. All of our guests commented on how well the wedding was planned and how flawlessly it flowed, and that’s all thanks to fab day events!

Amaira was our wedding planner for our wedding in LI and was amazing! She was always available to chat when needed and helped us find vendors and stay organized. She is incredibly knowledgable of the wedding planning process. She created a timeline of the day for us and answered any questions we might have had regarding timing. Amaira and her team were especially helpful the day of- organizing vendors, collecting documentation, etc. All of my guests commented on how well the wedding was planned/ flowed and it was all thanks to her! Thank you so much again.

The team at FabDay was a dream to work with from start to finish. Amaira was incredibly patient, helpful and communicative; she had great recommendations for vendors that fit our vision and excellent judgment when we needed to lean on her to make a decision. We were planning our wedding during a very difficult time for our family and Amaira’s compassion made all the difference. It was clear she was deeply invested in helping us have the wedding of our dreams and we are so grateful to her for helping us see the process through. And on the day-of, Amanda and Sarah made everything feel effortless! Special thanks to Sarah who provided a great sense of relief when she arrived at the bride’s getting ready location - she listened thoroughly to all of the last minute details that were stressing us out in the morning and made it possible to relax. We can’t recommend working with FabDay enough!

Amaira and her wedding planning team are amazing!! If they are available for your wedding date, hire them if you can! I hired Amaira as my day-of coordinator 2 weeks before my wedding at Oheka Castle, after I was unsatisfied with my previous month-of coordinator from another company and am so glad I made the switch. She is attentive, communicative, very efficient, detail-oriented and very smart. My wedding day was a dream and it would've have been so well run if it werent for Amaira and her team. We are forever grateful!

Amaira and Amanda were an essential part of our day. We didn't realize how much day-of coordinators would help keep our day moving smoothly (despite unexpected rain and even a guest breaking her arm!) They are both so personable and cool, too. We felt so supported by them and it really felt like they understood our vibe as a couple. We couldn't have done it without them!

We hired Amaira in an event coordinator capacity for our pre-wedding event and our main wedding day. While I did most of the planning myself, Amaira help with vendor coordination, schedule creation, and planning for last-minute details. Her South Asian background came in handy for our wedding, as she was able to keep the unruly guests in check (politely) in two different languages.
When we were running late, she helped us revise our schedule to keep in the most important things. There were some hiccups that happened during our wedding (with guest seating and otherwise) that we didn’t even know about until family members told us weeks after our wedding — because Amaira had handled it all with her team.
She was attentive the entire time towards our needs as a couple and especially mine as the bride. We had mentioned that we didn’t want to spend a lot of time on guest photos, she found a smooth way to get us onto the dance floor (where we wanted to be). She stayed until the very end of each event and made sure that all went well up to the final minute.
She is incredibly flexible and works to serve the couple. She get things done in an efficient manner, never dropping the ball, and is quick on her feet when issues arise. She is responsive and easy to communicate with. Even though we didn’t hire her in full wedding planner capacity, she made time for check-ins whenever I needed it and always there for moral and hands-on support.
In our wedding experience, Amaira was our saving grace. She made sure our day happened exactly the way we dreamt, and her calm nature helped us remain calm on very nerve-wrecking days. We highly recommend!

We didn't have the full pleasure of having Amaira help plan our wedding, but we DID end up picking her after speaking with other planners! We had a wedding nightmare and our wedding venue canceled on us after we paid the deposit. Amaira was still there to help in the worst of times and helped us navigate and calm us down. We honestly just recognized how professional and honest she was and immediately knew we wanted to work with her! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a planner!

We worked with FabDay Events for our wedding day--my husband and I are SO glad we did.
We began working with Amaira and Gage. They are both amazing!! Gage was our day of coordinator--he made sure our entire wedding went as smoothly as possible given that it was a VERY hectic day.
Three location changes (getting ready, ceremony, reception) all in one day! We especially we could've winged our very small intimate elopement style wedding ceremony at a beautiful park on our own but we were SO wrong!
Gage took care of everything--things we didnt think of at all! He planned out the entire ceremony ON THE DAY OF. From first look location, to where and how to do the ceremony, where to walk in from, to photography permits we totally forgot about 😂
Every detail, Gage was on it! Who will bring my reception outfit to the next venue? Gage was already on it. Bridal party was confused about something? They knew they'd figure it out from Gage.
We are so so glad we worked with Gage and FabDay Events! HIGHLY recommend for your special day!!

Out of all the vendors I hired for my wedding day, Amaira was the most integral. I hired her as a day of coordinator but she was so much more than just that and really worked to assuage any fears or concerns I had leading up to the wedding (I had a lot!!). She gave me sound advice, helped me make decisions when I was very indecisive, and diligently made sure everything was organized. I was dreading my wedding day and she was super understanding and her energy made it more enjoyable. I had a TON of issues on the day of my wedding ranging from the set up happening later than expected, missing tables/chairs from the vendor, and timing issues of some important guests. Amaira, Gage, and Grace were SO amazing in handling all of these issues and ensuring that I didn't stress or worry about them. All my wedding guests had a lovely time and were asking about Amaira and her team because they were so impressed with how efficient and beautiful our outdoor farm wedding was.

Amaira and the FabDay team were amazing to work with. They made our wedding planning that much less stressful. From selecting our vendors, to handling all details with them and managing our budget. Planning a semi destination wedding especially during COVID is no easy feat. Amaira was able to do so and make our wedding a dream. She made herself available whenever we needed her to alleviate a lot of our concerns and last minute questions. Would highly recommend!

We first started working with Amaira and then closer to the wedding we worked with Gage and they were both fantastic. My husband and I were able to truly enjoy our day, not worry about a thing, and have the best day ever because of Gage. He was extremely trustworthy, was able to corral people as needed, and was a true joy to work with. We didn’t make it easy on him because my husband and I got married on a boat then had our reception semi far away from the ceremony location, but Gage rose to the challenge and exceeded all our expectations. We loved working with Fabday events and especially with Gage because he is organized, thoughtful, ran a tight ship, and is also a great human being.
Go with Fabday events for your day of coordination, you’ll be happy you did!

Amaira is the best! I don't know what we would have done without her. She directed us to venues and vendors that fit our vision and budget - she found us a fantastic florist and a DJ that kept everyone on the dance floor - and she helped us create a timeline that allowed everything to flow smoothly so that we could fully enjoy the day. She was there for any questions or concerns we had along the way, always giving helpful advice and her honest opinion. We absolutely recommend her. She is a party planning genius and you'll be lucky to have her on your side for your wedding!

Amaira and her team were absolute rockstars in the lead-up to and the day of our wedding. They were professional, well organized and made sure everything went off without a hitch. We hired them for day-off coordination but they took care of so much more than that in the weeks leading up to the big day. There are things they took care of that wouldn't have even occurred to me. We worked specifically with Gage and he was fantastic! Can't recommend them enough!

I am so incredibly lucky to have been able to work with Amaira during the whole wedding process. As the first bride on my side of the family, the whole experience was completely new to me, and she gave me the reassurance I needed. Amaira kept me at ease the whole time always there to answer any questions, give amazing guidance and truly just be a friend when you needed it the most. The day of the wedding, Amaira and her team were on top of everything, making sure it went as smoothly as possible so that we didn’t have to think of a thing. The best decision we ever made when it came to our wedding was working with FabDay Events!

Don’t even where to start with how much Amaira, Gage and Chloe helped us - first of all Amaira was the most calming, organized presence while also being the best friend throughout my entire planning process and most of all the day of. She created the most detailed timeline that was a Type A girl’s dream. Gage and Chloe stepped UP and did everything from carrying my dress, fixing my eyelashes to making sure I could pee! I can’t thank them enough for everything.

Weddings are stressful, am I right? Yes. But not when you have Amaira and Gage on your side! We hired Gage for day of coordination, but he was SO MUCH MORE! Leading up to the wedding, Gage was there EVERY step of the way. He was responsive, proactive, and the best at problem solving and crisis management.
For example, we had a groomsman cut his hand by opening a beer. First of all, I NEVER FOUND OUT UNTIL I SAW THE GROOMSMAN! Gage had him sent to urgent care to get stitched up and he was back before anyone knew anything. THAT’S A PERFECT PLANNER!
Our whole wedding ran smoothly & was beyond perfect thanks to Gage. There is truly no one better than Amaira and Gage. THANK YOU so much for making our wedding day beyond perfect.

Amaira and Gage are AMAZING! We waited until the last month to hire a day of coordinator and Amaira & Gage saved the day! I have never dealt with a Planner before and have to say that they really know what they’re doing. They make it a seamless and easy process from handling all the vendors to the family! Not always an easy task.
Gage was so lovely and a pleasure to work with. Very professional, sweet, level-headed and had his finger on the pulse. Always a step ahead, he kept his head while those around him lost theirs. We had a fabulous day where we were able to be actual GUESTS at the wedding and be present for those precious & important moments that seem to whiz by.
We will always be grateful that we found FabDay Events! THANK YOU for a wonderful experience!

There are not enough nice things I can say about my time with Amaira & FabDay Events. She genuinely became one of my friends after my wedding was over!! Her warmth and passion for her job are so evident. She is professional in her organization and methodical approach to each step, she is calming and reassuring as she talks you off every ledge you find yourself on as a bride. She is comforting, kind, and so knowledgeable about the wedding industry and etiquette. Always answered my texts within a few minutes, no matter how late it was, how paranoid I probably sounded, or how trivial the question. I truly would not have had the amazing wedding day I had, without her. Every step of the way, she was there alongside me.
Please take my advice and hire FabDay for full service wedding planning. There will be a lot of mistakes and blips and obstacles in wedding planning, but having someone like Amaira by your side through it is something you will NOT regret!!

First let me just say from day 1 Amaira was extremely professional, sweet and she just put me at ease about planning my wedding reception. She listened to my wants and needs and was able to give me exactly what I envisioned. We worked together and planned my reception via zoom and phone calls because of covid restrictions, she still was able to give me exactly what I wanted. She even helped me with parts of my ceremony ( which I did not hire her to do). She truly was amazing and really just took away any stresses I had. She also brought in her assistant Anika to work my reception who was an ABSOLUTE ANGEL. I felt as if she was part of my family.. The catering company I hired completely did not deliver on anything promised and Anika went above and beyond to step in and take over the situation with ease and grace. If I could give her 1,000 stars and pay her what I paid the catering company I’d gladly give it to her because she deserved it all. She truly I would recommend Amaira and her company Fabday Events and her assistant Anika every time .. and if I need to plan another event, I will surely contact them.
Thank you Fab Day.

Amaira was the most helpful, proactive, detailed, hands-on and dedicated wedding planner ever. I hired Amaira as a Day-of-Coordinator but she played a much bigger role than that. She acted as a bridal attendant, wedding/vendor coordinator and planner over looking every single details throughout the day, since my venue was working with a skeleton crew due to lasting effects of covid. Amaira proactively reached out to all my vendors (some were difficult than others) to schedule a wedding timeline based on their availabilities and time allotted to complete their assigned tasks. Amaira made some last minute changes to her calendar and offered to help me and the bridal party early in the morning to get ready without any stress. She also did an excellent job on keeping a tab on everyone's whereabouts since the wedding mansion was a pretty big place to get lost. Amaira was there throughout the entire time of the party and made sure everyone was having a wonderful time. I certainly recommend other Brides to hire Amaira to get the peace of mind I had on my big day. She has been nothing but an absolute pleasure to work with.

The short version of this review is this: hire Amaira.
The longer version goes like this:
Amaira was the ‘day-of’ coordinator for our wedding and hiring her was probably one of the best decisions we made. Planning a wedding in the shadow of COVID came with unique challenges and uncertainties - we were so thankful to have Amaira working with us to help navigate everything. She is exceptionally professional, responsive, organized and kind, so by the time our wedding day came around, we were not remotely stressed about the details or logistics of the day - we knew we were in good hands. She and Gage managed the event flawlessly, and because of that, my husband and I were able to focus on being together, celebrating, and having so much fun with our guests. We are extremely grateful for the work they did to make our wedding as amazing as it was, and we can wholeheartedly recommend FabDay Events!

My husband and I found Amaira and a few other possible event planners when we decided to pull the plug on our original plans of a destination wedding. Due to covid and all the craziness that came along with it, we felt it was too risky to have family members travel. We spoke to a few companies and received prices, but after speaking to Amaira, we had a feeling that was it, our search was over. Not only did some of these other companies lack with quick responses, their prices were so far out of reach. We only gave ourselves a 6 week planning process due to weather restrictions (October on Long Island) and personal preferences. While some other event planners, as well as Amaira told us that was a short timeline, Amaira was the only one who made me confident it was completely doable while achieving the new vision I had. Our new mindset was a fall/chic backyard/tent wedding to finally have our wedding. Amaira was very straight forward and told us from the start that she would “hold our hands” (I was so nervous because my original mindset was on a beach in Dominican Republic. I had no idea what to start with for a wedding at home) and help us plan, however, her assistant would be the person with us on the day of our wedding. A little nerve-racking, but she assured us we would meet her prior and everything would be fine. My husband and I both work in the healthcare field during this pandemic and had VERY minimal time to speak to vendors and that was no longer a problem in my hands because Amaira completely took that off my plate. She was available to speak after long work days and weekends which was very helpful. I really can’t say enough great things. She would do her research, provide me options/her opinions, and ask for my decisions. She set up FaceTime meetings, a tasting with our vendor, came to site visits, organized day of timelines, negotiated prices, and came the weekend before to personally go over all the minor details with her assistant so we were absolutely all on the same page.
The day of went absolutely perfectly. Everything was completely handled as we didn’t lift a finger. We even got to FaceTime her on the day of our wedding during our reception haha. If you are looking for someone to help you make your event come to life, do NOT hesitate to reach out. Thank you Amaira and Anika for all of you hard work and dedication.
Love, The Manninos

Amaira was the most helpful, responsive and supportive wedding planner. She answered emails/texts quickly. As soon as we discussed my vision, she went straight to work contacting vendors. I was never dissatisfied because she completely understood me. I couldn’t have asked for a better person. The pandemic had interfered with the original planning as you can imagine, but Amaira stood by my side every step of the way. I think what I appreciated and loved the most about her, was how much of a friend she was to me. If family got in my head, she quickly grounded me. I barely fell stressed throughout the process. I may be saying goodbye to my wedding planner, but gaining a friend instead. Thank you Amaira.

CHOOSE AMAIRA AS YOUR WEDDING COORDINATOR! I can't say enough positive things about our experience with Amaira. Ive worked with wedding planners in the past and I can say working with her was a pleasing experience to say the least. She was organized, kind and helpful and I witnessed her warm professionalism with the bride on her day. She also provided a calm atmosphere for everyone to work and removed all possibilities of jitters!
Our restaurant catered the event with dinner and she made sure we were comfortable and had all the resources needed to serve her wedding. Amaira is detailed and follows up on her promises and tracks progress and time management.
We will be recommending Amaira to future customers at Pasha Turkish for events to coordinate and host. I ALSO WILL BE CHOOSING HER FOR MY OWN SPECIAL EVENTS IN THE FUTURE...BRAVO! A JOB WELL DONE!

I couldn't have enjoyed my wedding day without the help of my planner, Amaira from Fab Day Events! She attended church, reception venue and floral meetings with us and coordinated the wedding day. She was instrumental in:
- following-up with vendors & venue managers
- walking us through, managing and executing the day-of timeline
- coordinating the set-up & break-down of decor
- organizing vendor meals
- and most importantly, making us feel taken care of on our wedding day
We are grateful for Amaira's help!!!

I contacted a number of wedding planners before deciding on Amaira. Not only was she the most reasonably priced, she was also the only one to have showed her patience, flexibility, and understanding at our very first meeting. As beautiful as weddings can be, they are also so difficult with the number of personalities and decisions involved. Amaira was always there as someone level-headed that I could go to for advice, She was prompt, remembered to check in with me during the madness of COVID, and very understanding when it came time to canceling larger wedding plans. I ended up having a beautiful wedding at home and am grateful for Amaira's support along the way (during the most uncertain of times). Hope to be in touch with her again for my brothers weddings :) Would recommend her to any friend looking for a planner!

Working with Amaira was like working alongside a friend or big sister. She was a great sounding board for all of my ideas and helped me plan what would've been a very special, beautiful wedding (unfortunately, I decided to cancel the September 2020 wedding due to COVID). I recommend her to any new bride that is feeling overwhelmed and needs direction and support!

Amaira was essential in helping me bring to life the vision that I had for my wedding and create the wedding of my dreams. She did everything from helping me find the perfect dress to the perfect flowers and decor -- and all within my budget. She knows the industry inside and out. I could not have pulled off my wedding without her expertise, care, and dedication.

Amaira planned our wedding two years ago and it is an experience my husband and I will always cherish. Wedding planning is of course, very stressful, and I was very overwhelmed, but Amaira made everything seamless and easy! She listened to what we wanted, and created an event that our family still talks about. She anticipated our needs, was extremely organized, and prioritized our day so that we got to enjoy our day without worrying about anything. We ended up with a beautiful and memorable event. Don’t know what I would have done without her!

Amaira was incredibly supportive and truly collaborated with my vision while also elevating it with her elegant touch. She helped me plan a wedding in another state, and helped me stay calm on the day of and bring order to a hectic day. She got things done and allowed me to focus on getting ready and relaxing. From coordinating with all our vendors, to decorating on the fly when I forgot a box of decorations, to checking in with me and making sure I was alright, she truly held it all together. I highly recommend surrendering the reigns to her if you really want to enjoy your wedding!

I think once coronavirus hit, I began to realize the difference between my good vendors and bad vendors. Good vendors have shown compassion and understanding for how difficult it is to reschedule your wedding given the unknown. There is a mutual understanding that it is hard for everyone. I ended up canceling the wedding altogether and decided a private ceremony would be fine for 2021. Amaira was unresponsive, unwilling to compromise or be flexible and was completely cold and rude. I would not recommend her. Sure, others experiences clearly are different but I think true colors show when something like a pandemic hits and all they care about is money and contracts and not mutual compassion and understanding.
As far as my experience, she did no work for me and I feel robbed of the 50% deposit I put down and for finding someone so uncaring. I constantly had to follow up with her if I had a question. Obviously others have had a different experience and I am happy to see that but this was the worst vendor I dealt with when canceling the wedding.

Hi Lauryn,
It truly saddens to me to read your comments, but I was expecting this. ...
COVID has been an unprecedented challenge for us all. I, myself, have lost family members, am supporting people through their losses and struggles and I have witnessed my business and the industry that I love be decimated.
I have so much compassion for those, like yourself, who were planning a celebration when this hit.
However, I cannot allow my compassion to become permission for you to make unreasonable demands and to put me in a position to compromise the integrity of my business.
Small businesses like mine have suffered greatly during this time and, while we do lead with our hearts, we cannot work for free.
Your threatening emails have made clear that you expect that nothing short of me working for free will clear the threshold for what you consider to be “fair”
The fact of the cancellation has inconvenienced all parties, and I do hope you can see that compassion and kindness are best when mutually extended. None of us can entirely understand the pain and impact we are each experiencing. Nor are any of us more entitled to compassion and understanding.
The underlying bottom line is that you signed a contract that clearly stated that the deposit was nonrefundable. Though the wedding day, unfortunately, did not happen, I had gone above and beyond the outlined deliverables up to the point of cancellation.
Here are a list of wedding items I completed on your behalf:
1. Negotiated and reviewed contracts for venue and caterer, thereby saving you nearly my entire fee.
2. Researched and secured two florists for you.
3. Responded to nearly one hundred pieces of communication from you regarding your wedding over the course of several months as well as countless hours on the phone with you in preparation for your big day.
4. Created multiple, sample day-of timelines for you as you decided to change the layout of your wedding on numerous occasions.
5. Was in the process of securing churches for you closer to your venue when you changed the layout again.
Additionally, through the many months from the date of contract to the date of cancellation, I held your date for you and rejected any other opportunities to work during peak wedding season.
Your claim that I was unresponsive could not be further from the truth. It was only once you began threatening me with legal action, that I reiterated my contract, explained the language and terms to you in further detail, and asked that you stop sending me harassing emails.
I stand by the integrity of my work and of who I am as a business person. Every former client can attest to my responsiveness, professionalism, and the love and care that I put into every wedding. I was genuinely excited to work with you and bring your vision to life.
I wish you a wonderful marriage ahead. When you do decide to tie the knot, I hope you are able to find a planner that is a better fit for you.

I photographed a wedding that Amaira planned. She was wonderful to work with - so organized and efficient, but easy going. Made our jobs as the couple’s vendors go more smoothly, which is the best I can ask for as a photographer. Truly had a wonderful experience with her as the person who ran the show - looking forward to hopefully working with her again!
