r on my big day. Thank you again one look events!!!
OneLook was awesome and amazing! The last thing you want to worry about as the bride and groom are the little things that you forgot...this team made sure we didn't worry about any...
thing. They worked well together to ensure that my wife and I had a blast. Their decor and designs was beautiful. That is actually an understatement! It was superb. Even through the craziest circumstances, they pulled out all their tricks. Everything turned out great. I highly recommend their services, not only in Chicago, but anywhere in the world! Great job guys!
One Look Events fulfilled their task and made our wedding one to remember. After the proposal and now planning a wedding, we had no idea what we were up to or where to start. The ...
only thing we knew is that we had a budget and desired to have a nice wedding, so a friend of ours referred us to One Look Events. One Look Events then took the time to understand how important it was for us to stay in our budget, so they worked their magic and made it work. One Look Events is so connected to talented people and the right organizations that it can get anything done and for an affordable price with excellent quality.
Something that we admired most about One Look Events is that they never pressured us or tried to persuade us to do anything that we did not want to do. One look events demonstrated, respect, patience's, and understanding as we embarked on our wedding journey. There were times where we became overwhelmed with wedding planning, and One Look Events was right there as a support system to guide us through the planning process. One Look Events can be best described as our personal trainer in a sense, (they understood our goal and the time limit they had to accomplish that goal, and they got the job done, and we were amazed at the finished product). One Look Events would call and make sure we had accomplished our task for the given time, and made us comfortable to ask and answer whatever questions we may have had; no question was a dump question.
One Look Events is flexible in all they do, they think outside the box. We are a cultural and military family; they made time to incorporate our culture and military customs in the ceremony.
We loved the fact that on the wedding day, One Look Events made us feel like the King and Queen. On the wedding day our job was to come to the venue, that they had already decorated, and leave that night with no worries because One Look Events cleaned up and packed away all the gifts, then sent them to the designated location that we had discussed prior to our big day.
During the wedding, Fisayo (the owner of One Look Events and a wonderful woman) humbly assisted with us through our wedding day, by guiding us to where we needed to be at the given time in order to accomplish the agenda for the Wedding day.
We loved our time with One Look Events. We feel like we gained a new family.
We love you all, thank you One Look Events.
Many Blessing,
Bride and Groom
#FisayoBestWeddingPlanner
Fisayo and her team were the ABSOLUTE BOMB!!!! If you are having an event within the Planer's area of service and do not hire them, you will truly be missing out on a stress free a...
nd wonderful experience. We hired one look events for floral/design and also “month of” wedding coordinating services. Hiring Fisayo was the best decision we made, our wedding was fabulous and guests can’t stop giving us compliments about how beautiful and organized the ceremony/reception décor was. She had extensive affordable vendors list she recommended. One of the things that I greatly appreciated was how honest Fisayo was. She was very straight forward with what would and would not work. She would tell me if there was a more inexpensive option for something that I wanted. The weekend of our wedding we found out that the outside catering service didn’t not have insurance to cover our banquet. We called multiple places and was getting ridiculous quotes, on speaking to Fisayo about this, 2 minutes later I received detailed information on where to go to get a very cheap quote…..I was super happy! As a bride I was looking for a planner I could contact any time, even after midnight, Fisayo was extremely flexible and so much fun to talk to. I talked to her several times each day leading up to the day of the wedding and she was my rock. I had no worries with contacting vendors and updating them with the ”day of “ timeline because before a wink it was already done. She was so calm and prepared that all of my nervousness was put at ease. I’d always wanted an outdoor ceremony, I told her I DID NOT want a plan B if it rained on my day and that it would be done outside as planned. It rained nonstop on my wedding day, Fisayo did magic on our ceremony grounds, and we completed the ceremony without a tent. My wedding went on as scheduled and was absolutely beautiful. I got the wedding of my dreams and all of the details were perfect. She brought all of my ideas to life. Our parents were so happy with everything, Fisayo was the best investment we made for the wedding. I cannot say enough great things about her and her team. If you hire her I promise you will not be let down and you will actually get to enjoy your special day instead of stressing over it.
I worked with One Look event with creating my overall wedding design. I wanted my wedding to be unique and something that could not be picked off of a shelf. I wanted a wedding de...
sign that would be breath-taking and simply amazing. When having such a request, it makes a bride like me nervous as all I had were my ideas and the trust that I put into Olufisayo (Say). Working with Say was a great pleasure. She did more than design my wedding but she kept me sain to say the least. She was very accommodating and she was able to help me with other things as well, such as bridesmaids flowers, my second dress design, and the design of the dress worn for my bridal shower as well. The girl has connections and she did everything she could to work with my budget and deliver my every request. On the day of my wedding, this girl worked!! and she over delivered. I promise you One Look Events is a well kept secret that I think all should know about. I wish I could provide photos of my day so you can see the proof!! I could not have asked for a better day. I am still receiving all kind of woooos from my guest who attended and those that have seen pictures.
OMG! It was an amazing experience planning my wedding with Fisayo. When I contacted her initially at 1 am, I was amazed to receive an instant response and this gave me a whole lot ...
of confidence in her. Although when I contacted her initially, we haven't find a venue, but she took the time to went over certain things with me. A month later, after securing our venue, I called her and she get to work almost immediately, and we became friends right there. Over the course of our discussion, I told her that her last name will be my new last name after the wedding, and none of us think anything of it. As we continue the planning and I sent the invitation to Fisayo, lo and behold my finance is her uncle.
Knowing that we are related did not change anything about how effective Fisayo acted through out the planning and on the day of the wedding. She became my to go to person when in doubt, and she is always ready to answer any question with a smile. she refereed me to some vendors,and always willing to help make the journey as smooth as possible. On the big day, Fisayo coordinated the event perfectly well, our decoration was superb, my bouquet was just perfect.
I could continue to write about how awesome her service is, but the truth she is has a very great personality, she is hardworking and professional.
One look events was recomended to me by my venue's manager, and I couldnt have chosen a better planner. Fisayo 'Say' is so helpful, accommodating, felxabile with changes, and has ...
great ideas. She did more than I even asked for and made my wedding look simply elegant and beautiful. Her prices are very reasonable compared to those in the wedding bussiness and their overpriced services. Say made my wedding run smoothly, making sure everything was done right. I will for sure be recommending her company to my friends and family for any planning of events.
OMG. We have been blessed to have a company like One Look Events. When Say and I met it was a perfect match. She came to my rescue when I was under so much pressure and stress as a...
bride. I only had a month or two left before my wedding and I was in a huge panic. The prior planner didn't quite workout so I had to find a solution fast. I called up One Look Events and she was able to advise me on my wedding invitations. She helped me even while not being officially hired. I knew in that moment I wanted her as a planner. Once hired she got right to work. I also had her do my flowers for the the wedding. I would admit to being a true diva wanting everything just perfect. My bouquet had to be full with a lot of bling and everything was elegant with bling everywhere. One look events was honest with me and not afraid to tell me when something was not going to work. She made sure I kept up with deadlines and eased my stress level. I am what you would call a huge procrastinator so I was happy to get an extra push. We met up at my house and she stayed for hours helping with every aspect of the program. I became indecisive with final details especially picking out the centerpieces. I waited all the way until the week of and we finally came up with the perfect idea for centerpieces. She told me to leave it all up to her for the centerpieces. The day of my wedding was magical everything was perfect. The day of the wedding she had an assistant who was able to help with my dress before getting in the horse and carriage. The assistant handed me the bouquet and it was beautiful. My theme was Cinderella and I felt like a princess. I had a White Horse and carriage and the wedding was amazing. When I walked into the reception hall it took my breath away. Say had everything layed out just how I wanted it from the bling on the tables to the centerpieces. The centerpieces had flowers floating with the candles. All her final touches made a huge difference. It was such a relief. One Look Events was heaven sent. I love them! I would recommend their services to any bride wanting to stress free for their big day.
In conversation with a year before the wedding, my good friend Funkside (StudioAlade) had mentioned getting a planner called “Say”. She had many good things to say but we were conv...
inced we could plan our wedding better than anyone else. Little did we know wedding planning isn’t just food, location, a suit and a dress. The success of a wedding is heavily dependent on the planner! It was exactly 5 weeks before the wedding and nothing was really finalized. I called Say one faithful night and just cried out to her. There were so many obstacles with our wedding. 1. We both lived out of town and were having our wedding in my home town. 2. We were having an outdoor wedding in May in Chicago. 3. We underestimated headcount, etc. During my conversation with Say, I felt like I was chatting with my best friend, she was an exceptional listener and had so many realistic recommendations. Say offered us, a month-before wedding plan package which includes coordinating the wedding day plans. She made me sit and pin down everything I had open. From there, all I saw was checkmarks off our list; she took over EVERY-THING. She finalized with vendor, drafted timelines, organized bridal train, acted as a liaison between my husband, myself and our parents etc. I specifically remember Say working out the details of serving alcohol at our wedding which we originally wanted to exclude. She worked out the liquor insurance with the serving company, and by the time I was involved everything was already finalized. Say is so professional, so friendly, dependable and trustworthy. The day before the wedding, Say was first to show up at wedding location for rehearsal, she made sure the bridal train practiced even in our absence (my husband and I). When we got there, Say had already finished rehearsal; I must say I was extremely impressed. Not only was it 92degrees and sunny, but somehow she was able to keep everyone calm and cool. Say has a natural aura that tells you to be calm, and that you’re in good hands. I noticed this from day 1. On the wedding day, I barely saw her. Not until we watched our wedding video, did I realize she was everywhere from fixing my veil, to setting up, to keeping the parents happy! I mean she was just everywhere fixing every problem. In all this she barely broke a sweat, at least a visible sweat. We planned for 250 people wedding, thought to increase it to 275 the day before and ended up having approximately 325, which is 50 people above expectation. Somehow I had no idea of the chaos going on behind the scene. Say handled every issue and made sure nothing tainted or put a bad taste in our experience. There was no way we could have done it without her. I remember being asked to write a check for $400. I trusted Say as she gives account and receipt for everything she spent on the wedding in our absence, so I wrote her the check. Not until after the wedding was I informed that the servers decided to stop serving since we had more people than anticipated. Say negotiated a good deal and kept them going. Again, we were totally clueless. As a bride, those unexpected things can really dampen ones mood but with Say, I had no worries. I’ve seen planners look so worn out during a wedding, but not Say, She looked like a wedding guest and handled each issue gracefully and professionally. If I could sum up Say’s performance in a few words, I would simply call her a miracle in disguise! She was our miracle and we thank her from the bottom of our hearts
Fisayo, the wedding planner was amazing during the whole wedding process. she's the nicest person you'll ever meet. Her hard work and zest for our wedding details showed in all asp...
ects and I couldn't be happier. Now as for my bouquet, she definitely DELIVERED. I loved everything about it and the pictures came out beautifully matching our color theme. She is surely be recommended.
