Where do I begin? Vanessa is truly the most AMAZING wedding planner we could have ever asked for! Vanessa was always there for us throughout our planning process from text messages...
(even sometimes late in the day), phone calls and she was always such a pleasure to meet with in person for our planning sessions with my mom & I. She made the planning process so easy and we always felt supported along the way. She is sweet, professional, detailed, personable, attentive, and so patient. It was a dream wedding thanks to Fuller Events Co. Vanessa truly helped carry out our vision and gave us such expertise. She was incredible when managing our vendors and she really made our wedding day completely stress free. Vanessa went above and beyond with her team to make our wedding day picture perfect from start to finish. It was the best day ever and we could not imagine our wedding day without her by our side! She took complete control and made everything easy and enjoyable for everyone. Vanessa & her husband Al also helped with my husband & I’s first dance lessons and it was phenomenal. They made us feel at such ease and helped us create the most perfect first dance. We are walking away with Vanessa being a friend and forever apart of our family. I HIGHLY recommend Vanessa and Fuller Events Co. You will not regret it! We love you Vanessa ❤️- Best, Ashley & Dakin Levit
I loved working with Vanessa Fuller as my day of wedding coordinator. It was really nice to have someone who wasn’t a family or friend understand my vision for the day and be on th...
e lookout for any concerns I might have. The peace of mind she provided and the effort she put in the day of the wedding were well worth the extra cost of a day of coordinator. She gets things done and isn’t afraid to stand up for what the bride and groom want. She was really helpful for the 2 months prior to the wedding as well, answering random questions I may have. It was an extra bonus that she made us feel comfortable for our first dance! We were not planning on taking dance lessons but the lessons she provided were very helpful.
There are not enough words to describe the wedding that Vanessa, Al and their team created for my wife and I. Vanessa's professionalism, knowledge of the wedding industry and perso...
nality shined from day 1. She did not miss a beat, ensuring we were calm, cool and collected throughout our planning. DJ Al is phenomenal and even had my wife's 98 year old grandma dancing. Thank you Fuller Events!
Having fuller events DJ & MC our reception was the best decision we made for the entire wedding. Al & Vanessa were absolutely awesome from start to finish. The dance lesson was sup...
er fun and helpful and helped us feel comfortable when it came time to do our first dance. The app made adding music for each part of the wedding super easy. Al made our 5 hour reception feel like it wasn’t long enough with how much fun we all had. We could go on and on, point is we loved them and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.
Vanessa was the most fantastic wedding coordinator/planner we could have asked for! She was there every step of the way to answer questions, be on phone calls with vendors, and mak...
e the planning process seamless! On the day of she handled every single detail and brought our entire vision to life a million times better than we could have! Our wedding would not have been the same with out her work and expertise! She is professional and prepared in every aspect of those words! I will recommend her to everyone I know! I did not worry about a single thing on my wedding day because of her planning and work! We love Vanessa!!!
One of the most professional people I have ever worked with!
Vanessa really makes you feel like family and what ever you say to her she listens and does exactly that! She was ther...

Fuller Events is absolutely amazing! They are the power couple that you need to plan your wedding! Me and my husband got married on June 25th, 2022 at Ever After Farms and it truly...
was our dream wedding and Fuller Events played a huge role in that! Al and V are so professional in this work and made me and my husband feel so loved, valued and taken care of! They are so intentional with meeting our every need and also bring so much wisdom and advice to the table! Al Fuller knows how to keep the crowd pumped and keep the party going, he was AMAZING! We are so thankful for these two.
They also offered a dance lesson (so fun!) and they both helped me and my husband come up with our first dance that we pulled through on our wedding day and it was one of the SWEETEST moments!
FULLER EVENTS ARE THE WAY TO GO, PEOPLE! <3
I worked closely with this company during an event and can I say, they are simply amazing. It can be difficult to find a DJ that "matches" your vibe, as every couple is different a...
nd wants different things. Well, Fuller Events, DJ Al, hit it right on the nail. I work with a lot of DJ's and he knew exactly what to say and when to say it, he timed every song perfectly. I would highly recommend their services.
My now husband and I were referred to Vanessa by a friend and the second I spoke to her the first time, we clicked and I had such a good feeling about her. We hired her to help pla...
n our wedding and she is THE BEST. Our entire wedding went so smoothly thanks to her. She kept us both stress free and at ease and took care of everything. She made sure our day was exactly what we wanted it to be. Such an amazing person inside and out and an amazing planner and such a pleasure to work with. We love you Vanessa!!!!!
Vanessa and Al,(Fuller Events), we can’t thank you enough for making my son and daughter in law’s special day so much more wonderful. During the planning stage you responded quick...
ly to any concerns or questions we had and definitely worked with all of our suggestions, wants and needs. The day of the reception, as the DJ, Al was more than we could have imagined. He kept everyone up and dancing and energized all our guests. (I don’t know where he gets his stamina from!)
Thank you so much for all your help, assistance and guidance. You definitely exceeded our expectations!
I am so happy I found Vanessa. She was incredible! Planning a wedding was more difficult and exhausting than I could have ever imagined. I am a very indecisive person and wanted ev...
erything to be perfect. After my first conversation with Vanessa I knew I found the right planner. She made me feel confident throughout the planning process and answered all of my stupid questions. I would text Vanessa a question and get a response back within seconds. I also loved our free dance lesson we got. Vanessa felt more like a friend throughout the entire planning process. On the wedding day we were so happy to have her. She checked in with us consistently seeing what we needed and communicated with our other vendors so we could really enjoy our day. We love you Vanessa!
Vanessa was absolutely amazing to work with. She made my wedding day 100% stress free and I am the type of person that usually stresses over everything. Throughout planning my wedd...
ing, Vanessa was so organized and always quick to respond to my texts, even late at night. Vanessa and her team truly went above and beyond to make our wedding picture perfect. I could not imagine our wedding without her. She was more than a wedding coordinator, she was a very calming presence to my husband and I, and I am walking away from this experience with a new friend! SHE IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST!
My wife and I love music and dancing! We knew picking the right DJ and MC would be important for our wedding. We are in our upper 30s and 40s and really wanted to play “our era mus...
ic.” That being said, our hired wedding planner Vanessa Fuller is actually a dancer herself and her husband combined are Fuller Events Entertainment Co with MC Al and DJ Serge. She was able to put together a package for us for the entertainment, a dance lesson and an incredible App called Vibo to sync all our music choices for the wedding. It made it easy to follow along with and envision the flow of our wedding from ceremony to reception to the last dance. The work relationship Vanessa and her husband have is so unique and works so well that they both are in the wedding and entertainment business. Please check them out!!
I hired Vanessa Fuller Events for my wedding as a wedding coordinator for the day of my wedding and a month prior. Her package included a free dance lesson, countless communication...
including calls, text, and email. And a meet and greet several times. She also was present for our rehearsal ceremony. Vanessa and her team were amazing. I do not know how the flow of our wedding would have happened without her. Our wedding was partially outdoors and inclement weather forced us to make some decisions that she coordinated for us without the bride (me) stressing out. She communicated with all vendors on our behalf and distributed our tips for us during the wedding. She also stayed after the wedding to clean up everything and place it in our hotel room so we could enjoy mingling with our guests. Another bonus. Her husband Al is a MC for an entertainment company and provided our music for us! Her contract was very easy to follow and straight forward and provided reminders for any payments we needed to make. I highly recommend hiring her team and her husband for your wedding. I am so grateful for all the details she provided us and we learned so much about things we did not even think about. Thank you Vanessa!
Vanessa and her team were 5 star and everything more.
She went above and beyond our expectations. She never once said no to any of our requests. She was filled with enthusiasm al...
l day and never tired at night.
My favourite part was that she took so many behind the scenes pictures and videos and sent them to us the next day. So kind and thoughtful.
I would highly recommend them on any of your future events!!
Vanessa was an integral part in the immense success of our wedding day. From the very beginning of the planning stages, two years ago, Vanessa was immediately invested. She helped ...
us identify the most incredible team of vendors that she personally recommended, and I’m so glad she did! Everyone and everything was perfect, and all of that is thanks to Vanessa! Not to mention her husband, Al, is the BEST MC/dj in the biz! Together they provided a dance lesson for us, and stayed as late as we needed until we felt comfortable! Vanessa vowed to take the stress off of us not only during the planning phase, but during the wedding itself, and she delivered and then some. She was the one behind the scenes who made every thought and dream I had about the entire wedding weekend a reality. I couldn’t give her and her team any higher praise!
Vanessa and her team were truly amazing, and made the wedding day run smoothly from start to finish! Choosing Vanessa was one of the best decisions we made, I highly recommend her!...
Prior to the wedding she was extremely helpful in the planning process in terms of connecting with all of our vendors to streamline a day of timeline as well as help us lock in additional vendors we had trouble finding on our own such as videographers and Chivari chair rentals! Whenever we had a question or concern Vanessa was very responsive and always happy to jump on a call. She even helped choreograph and teach us our first dance which turned out beautiful! My husband and I both had huge wedding parties (12 people each) and she was great at keeping us organized and on schedule the day of! Overall, her team goes above and beyond planning and coordinating, ensuring your dream wedding vision comes true! Vanessa definitely helped me stay calm the day of knowing she had everything taken care of! :)
Vanessa is AMAZING! We definitely wished we would’ve hired her sooner. I can be a huge procrastinator and she got my rear in gear as soon as she came on board. She provided us with...
timelines and would do weekly check ins to make sure we were on target. She helped us choreograph our first dance too which turned out so good! That is already one of our favorite memories. She played mediator as needed and never made me feel bad during my Bridezilla moments. I never would’ve survived the weeks before or the day of the wedding without her help. She kept track of little things like making sure I was comfortable in my shoes, reminding us to eat during the party, finding me snacks when I felt hypoglycemic, and she captured SO many amazing moments on our day. I had no idea she was even taking the pictures/videos. HIRE HER, she’s worth every penny. 🥰🥳💗
We hired Vanessa for the last month planner as I the mother of the bride live out of town. I wish I hired Vanessa from the start. She was fantastic to work with! We communicated vi...
a phone, text and email. Her responses were quick and she had wonderful recommendations. She helped choreograph my daughter and son-in-law’s first dance which was beautiful. Her commitment to details on the wedding day were impeccable. The bridal party and groomsmen were able to relax and enjoy the day. She took complete control and made everything easy and enjoyable for everyone. I wouldn’t hesitate recommending her for any occasion.
Vanessa was nothing short of amazing! From the very beginning she was kind, attentive and helpful. She offered us a dance class and it was perfect! She allowed our chemistry to be ...
the main focus and taught us a few moves to make our first dance wonderful. The day of our wedding she was on it. She wouldn’t let me (the bride) become overwhelm at all. She handled every complication with grace. She also ensured our reception went smoothly. We loved it! Vanessa is great!!
Vanessa was such an integral part of our wedding on October 16th, 2021, I don’t know what we would have done without her. Things would have been a wreck. She helped with everything...
from the most minute details like making sure all my details were in order on the day of to big picture planning like helping me solidify and find my vision for the entire event. Her connections are invaluable and the speed with which she communicates was just the icing on the cake. She is a talented business woman and her and her team were always incredibly professional. Lastly, one of our favorite things she did for us was provide a private dance lesson for me and my husband. We were able to go over our first dance and get a feel for the actual day. What surprised us most was how fun but also intimate it was. 10/10 recommendation!
Vanessa Fuller Events is the full package! They did an amazing job helping us carefully plan ever aspect of the evening, offering suggestions and insights along the way to ensure s...
he had the best night ever! The delivered that and then some. The night of the event was unbelievable, they brought the A Team all around from the organization and professionalism to the ENERGY and enthusiasm - I really just can’t say enough good things about this team! We have used them for several events now, and wouldn’t go anywhere else!
Vanessa Fuller of Vanessa Fuller Events is one of the best planners & professional partners I’ve worked with in the industry. When my hotel books an event, I breathe easier knowing...
she’s the planner/coordinator. She has her client’s best interest at the forefront, but she’s a team player with the client’s other vendors. She’s earned the top planner slot on our list of preferred vendors, and I can’t wait to work with Vanessa Fuller Events again!
The BEST in the industry! All Around Incredible!
When my daughter told me she was getting married Vanessa was my first phone call hands down! I am in the wedding industry myself an...
d have worked with Vanessa in the past... however this was a great opportunity to experience being "mother of the bride".
Vanessa was fully involved with the wedding planning. Circumstances had it so that I had 2 short months to plan this wedding... however she was by my side helping me plan and execute! I think every parent of a bride is nervous about the Guest Experience! We want to represent our family and this important event at the highest level of elegance.
Vanessa made sure I was able to relax the entire day! Everything was ready and waiting for us at the reception when we arrived! We were able to do a room reveal with my daughter and son in law- and they were so thrilled with everything!
She is a hard worker, loyal, and 100% invested in everything she does!!! I highly recommend her and her incredible team of professionals that work under her!
Vanessa is the best! Hire her! Don't miss out!
If you’re thinking about hiring a wedding planner then hire Vanessa !
I thought I could plan my wedding in my own but I am SO glad I hired her, there were so many different things ...
I didn’t know needed to get done and she took all the stress of our shoulders, from finding venues to organizing rehearsals, communicating with our guests allowing us to enjoy the entire process. The day of our wedding we had some issues with the food company we hired and she was on top of it and took care of it !
Overall it was just so pleasant to work with her and she is just such a professional at what she does!!
My wedding took place on December 28, 2013 in the Boca Raton and Delray Beach area. Vanessa Fuller assisted in coordinating the evenings events in a professional manner. One thing ...
that particularly stuck out to me was that the evening of our wedding it happened to rain( don’t tell me that is good luck!). Vanessa and her husband went above and beyond to help make sure that by the time the evening‘s events began the entire outdoor venue was dried. I learned later that she worked tirelessly to dry the tables and chairs and the dance floor. Her upbeat personality made the evening fun and her direct communication made things run smoothly. I would highly recommend her to help plan any event to be sure that it is memorable.
Vanessa was absolutely amazing! She was able to make my daughter's wedding flow seamlessly. We had a few backup plans, due to the tropical storm coming this weekend. Vanessa manage...
d every detail and I was able to enjoy the night watching my daughter and son in law. She is an absolute joy and handles it flawlessly. I highly recommend reaching out to her and letting her take the stress and worry out of your event. I danced, and laughed and was able to enjoy every moment as Mother of the Bride. Vanessa kept all the details and stayed in contact with the bridal party and photographers/vendors. Don't book your next event without Vanessa!
What can I say? Vanessa was AMAZING! From our very first phone call, she really listened to what I wanted and made my vision a reality. When we met up, she gave me her full undivid...
ed attention and made me feel like I was her only priority. My vision for my wedding was a pajama party, and thanks to Vanessa and Ashley, my wedding was an elegant and unique event. If it wasn't for Vanessa, it would've looked like a 5-year-old's birthday party and we'd all be eating cereal out of paper bowls! Vanessa checked in on me with increasing frequency as my big day approached and she even went so far as to send me calming essential oils and a special tea to help me calm my nerves while I got ready on my big day. Vanessa and Ashley made setup and my wedding day a breeze, and if something went wrong, I surely didn't know about it. One of the most memorable parts of the ceremony for me was when my 19 month old got really overwhelmed and Vanessa was right there to scoop her up and comfort her so things could continue smoothly. I have a SUPER cute picture of them together, too! I'm sure I could go on for pages, but I'll sum it up by saying Vanessa was worth every cent! She made me feel special and pampered and heard and I highly recommend her to anyone planning a wedding. Vanessa - I can't thank you and Ashley enough for rocking my world and making my wedding day so care-free and beautiful. I couldn't be happier!
My husband and I had Vanessa and her husband Al work our wedding back in 2014. It was the best experience and I won’t ever regret it. They were excited with us, they cared about wh...
at we wanted and truly helped to make sure it happened. They were on the ball - didn’t miss a beat and they did not disappoint! ALL of our guests loved them. I have been invited to endless events that they have worked and they just do. not. ever. fail. Their energy level is outstanding and they really do get everyone involved with their contagious smiles and eager attitudes. Vanessa Fuller is AMAZING to work with! She is sharp and very equipped with the tools to help make the best day ever for the bride. She is outgoing and super helpful. Honestly, I would recommend this entertainment company over any other company that I have ever seen work an event. Make no mistake and hire Vanessa Fuller!!
So I feel as if there aren’t words worthy enough for Vanessa, but I’ll give it a try. To start off I’d like to say she is an incredible human being with an immense heart and caring...
personality. She is creative and insightful. She is tons of fun while remaining professional! She is 100% trustworthy (such an important trait in a planner). She’s focused on executing exactly what her bride wants- she is everything you want in a wedding planner!
I hired Vanessa as a “month of” planner but I feel as if she invested more than what that usually entails. I knew absolutely nothing about weddings or the planning and decorating behind it. Anytime I’d meet up with her I wouldn’t have much information to give her about my “vision”. I would simply show her pictures of things I liked to give her an idea of the style I was going for. She shared her honest opinions from past experiences and was a huge help in carrying out what I wanted. And I’d like to add that I brought my 12-18mo old to our meetings and she was extremely patient, sweet, and entertaining to her, all while listening to what I wanted!
I honestly can’t imagine our wedding day without her assistance. I’m sure it would have been Chaos lol. Anytime we needed her she was present before we’d even call for her. There is so much to worry about at a wedding and thankfully we didn’t have to worry for a second. Everything went so smoothly because of her. We love her very much and recommend her to all future brides!
The choice was by far the best ever for my daughter’s wedding. She had specific needs that had to be met during the hardest time in the US. Vanessa enabled us to meet the needs of ...
both sides and establish from the start the expectations of our guests.
The details and intricate items were explained and left up to Vanessa and crew to implement. She made it flawless and felt like they were part of our family. She presented options and established the connection with other vendors for everything to flow smoothly and without a single blip.
If you want professionalism and your daughter to be the happiest on her most amazing day ever, please select Vanessa and her consider her vendors. She is and always will be the 3rd most important part of our daughters wedding.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts and the amazing love you shared with us on this day and throughout the planning.
We cannot say enough good things about Al and Vanessa. Vanessa helped with every little detail of our wedding from the set up to the break down. She was so intentional about making...
sure I as the bride was taken care of while also making sure everything got done. I couldn’t believe how hard she worked. I was blown away. She is not only an amazing wedding planner but an amazing friend. Al made sure the reception went smoothly and he kept the party going. This team is truly unbeatable. They give their all to ensure that your special day is perfect. We love you Al & V 🤍
1000% Recommend Vanessa!
We love her so much. She was there to handle everything and take the edge off for our wedding. We didn’t have to worry about anything that day besides rem...
embering our choreographed first dance, which she did!!
So- I chose Vanessa because I reached out to three planners, the first never responded. The second I spoke with on the phone and I told her we lived in Michigan. A few days later she asked me to go to a wedding show in Palm Springs……… that same day, Vanessa bring the third, also knowing I lived out of town, sent me a video of our venue we chose without seeing it. From that point I knew she was what I needed. Someone who listened to me, to my concerns and my needs. To say the least Vanessa did not disappoint. She blew us out of the water. So many of our friends and family asked us who she was and how we found her because all of her hard work was noticed by everyone!
Goodness. She’s just amazing y’all.
