Statuesque Events

le on her face. She is professional. She was a pleasure to work with. Feyi and her team are Phenomenal. Our wedding was a success thanks to Statuesque Events.

ly ON OUR SIDE when we had meetings with vendors and family members. Her logistical skills are UNMATCHED!!! When necessary, she gave us honest and actionable advice for the wedding, and kept us on task and organized during the entire planning process, resulting in a seamless run of show. Our wedding was extremely well organized and ran on time, at some points even running ahead of schedule. During the reception Fey and her team worked nonstop to make sure our guests received excellent service. Statuesque Events allowed us to have a wedding we, our families, and our guests enjoyed. We cannot recommend her enough!

e one for the job. Her calm personality, and ability to quickly provide solutions to challenges, caught my eye right away. Throughout the planning process, Feyisola intently listened to my messy articulation of a vision, and encouraged me to challenge the wedding “norms” to make the entire wedding day our own. The month leading up to our wedding, Feyisola made herself easily accessible for us to ask questions and tighten up any loose ends. Planning a wedding during COVID wasn’t easy at all, but I shared my faith with Feyisola, and she was right on board. Being new to the big event planning process, Feyisola made sure I was well prepared with a list of recommended vendors. I didn’t use all the vendors recommended, as Instagram was a major help (the platform also helped me find Statuesque Events), but it was nice knowing I wasn’t in the process alone. The weekend of the wedding was nothing short of amazing. Feyisola ran the rehearsal smoothly and gave a personal touch by making sure to remember everyone in the bridal party’s name (almost 20 people). The morning of the wedding, Feyisola was in my room bright and early ready for the eventful day. I felt at complete ease, and worried about nothing at all. Feyisola and her team attended to everything and made sure all vendors were well informed and in place. Seeing the ceremony and reception venues for the first time were easily one of my favorite parts of the wedding day. To see a dream realized is truly hard to form into words. My husband was also blown away by the beauty of everything. We truly felt like loyalty. I remember opening my eyes and seeing the reception venue for the first time, and all I could do was scream “this is exactly what I wanted.” I am so thankful for the team of vendors, and Statuesque Events for quarterbacking the entire wedding. Outside of marrying the perfect person for me, hiring Statuesque Events was easily one of the best decisions I made for our wedding day.

that made it super easy to understand. Clarity of information is really important during such a busy time as wedding planning, and she nailed it. While I definitely wanted to be involved in my wedding planning process, my full time job simply did not afford me the time I’d need to take on the endeavor by myself. SE’s offer of the partial services package was particularly appealing to me for that reason, as it gave me the ability to make ultimate decisions but with the options and guidance provided by SE. The package not only came with full access to Feyisola for all of my many random questions, but also came with access to a great online wedding planning website that allowed me to track my budget, share inspiration ideas with SE, and keep track of my wedding check list. From start to finish, Feyisola kept me on task. She even came with me and my family to try on dresses, and watched me say yes to the dress! She also sent us a very nice wedding shower gift, which came as a total surprise to us. Even more than all of those amazing things, what I really appreciated about Feyisola was that she catered to my desires to have a Christian wedding. She recommended a DJ that fit our needs, helped me find praise dancers for our reception, and even recommended Christian songs we could incorporate into our day. She not only understood my vision, but she helped me execute it. Importantly, our wedding day was a dream. Everything went off without a hitch. If there were any problems, I never knew about them. From the early morning wake up call to saying goodbye to our guests at the end of the night, Feyisola and her team were with us throughout the entire day. This meant even more to me because the night before the wedding I dumped on Feyisola the task of completing my seating chart, even though we didn’t discuss it prior. I was swamped and stressed, but she gladly took it off of my plate. In the morning, Feyisola and her team got our bridal party our breakfast, made sure we were dressed and our make up was done, coordinated our first look, made sure my wedding day gift to my husband was delivered to him safely, and kept us all on time. She very wisely built cushions in to our wedding day timeline in case of unexpected delays, and these proved necessary. Having been in a number of weddings, I know how important it is to have the day of your wedding run smoothly (and how bad things can get it doesn’t), and I am all the more thankful I had Feyisola and her team with me that day. It was truly a wonderful day, and I was able to enjoy it to the fullest, just the way we’re all supposed to. In sum, SE is amazing. You get above and beyond what you pay for. SE could (and probably should) charge a lot more than they do, because the value of their services is worth so much more than the bill. If you’re looking for a team that knows the wedding industry inside and out but will cater your wedding planning experience to your needs and beliefs, then look no further!

erian/Mexican/American wedding in New Jersey. With that being said, we had a lot on our plate! Fey took so much of the stress of wedding planning away. She went above and beyond all our expectations. She is very intuitive, decisive, provides excellent vendors, open to all our wants and needs, professional, and punctual. She has great relationships in the wedding industry and it is very clear why. Statuesque Events is a successful business because it is run by the best in the industry. I’m so glad I found the perfect wedding planner for our big day! We love you Fey!

on track. Always patient and unflappable, Fey was the ultimate architect of our beautiful day. She was instrumental in helping us to bring together our team of vendors, develop our design aesthetic, and incorporate multicultural themes. Fey easily has a wedding every weekend, yet still manages to provide professional attentive service to all of her clients who absolutely love her and her team. I have no doubt that Statuesque Events will continue to be in high demand. If you have a wedding in the next two years, you need to call Fey and her team ASAP and ensure that you hire the BEST east coast wedding planner there is available!

t was. Couldn’t have done it without her.

e one. She took the time to get to know us not only individually but as a couple which meant a lot to us. Anytime I or my husband needed her she made sure she was not just accessible via email but also by phone/text and even met up with us in person. Anytime a challenge came our way, from finding a church and then having to move the ceremony due to construction, Fey was able to come up with solutions that not only worked but were better than the original idea. Fey listened to our (my lol) ideas and brought them to life. Our wedding ceremony and reception was intimate and gorgeous just the way we wanted it. On a very personal note I can’t express how caring Fey is. It wasn’t just about the wedding but she cared about me as a person. Less than 10 days out I started stressing about everything making myself physically ill. I wind up sending her this crazy email just freaking out about everything. Not only did she email me back assuring me everything would be fine and beautiful she called me as well to offer additional reassurance and didn’t get off the phone until I was ok. Lastly my dad became very ill during our reception. Fey could tell I was worried and distraught. She just held me which was so needed in that moment. Thank you so much Fey for making Antoine’s and I wedding day beyond memorable. Can’t wait for you to plan our next big celebration.

l. She listens to your needs, demands and wishes - no matter how crazy or good they are!

provided great feedback and advice but also made sure we incorporated what we wanted (even all last-minute changes). Statuesque helped us with everything including the floorplan, MC script, DJ playlist, and the overall flow. Secondly, Fey is great and easy to work with. She has a personality that is reassuring and calm which I really appreciated since I can be an anxious person (especially planning a wedding). For instance, one my bridesmaids forgot her dress the day of the wedding and was scared to tell me until 20 minutes before the wedding. Fey literally took off the dress she had on (which happened to be the same color as our wedding party) and switched outfits within 5 minutes! Needless to say, Fey really goes above and beyond for her clients and goes the extra mile to make sure you have the perfect day. And she still made sure the wedding started on time!!!! Lastly, Fey is really in tune with different cultures and traditions. My husband’s family is from Sierra Leone and my family is from Mexico. Candidly, it can be tough incorporating and blending traditions and keeping everything balanced. Also, in our case we had a little family drama. Fey was great helping us navigate through the ups and downs and everything ran very smoothly! A lot of guests say our wedding was the best wedding they have attended, but I know we couldn't have executed our vision without Statuesque Events. I cannot thank Fey and Statuesque Events enough. I only wish we could have worked with them sooner and hired them to do more!!

t to life. She is experienced, professional and amazing to work with!

would recommend her to anyone!

od judgement in terms of what needs to be escalated and what doesn't. Both my husband are lawyers and were working in New York City while planning a wedding in DC. She was able to work around our schedule, make time for us when we came to town, and handle several things without us. Working with her and her team was an amazing experience.

ed with professionalism. Feyi understands all the customs that come with our culture (Nigerian), and helped us navigate through any setback we encountered. Our wedding was absolutely stunning and we still get countless compliments till this day (our wedding was 5/12/18)! Thank you so much Feyi (and team!). We are incredibly grateful and will continue to recommend you!

to my house in the evening for a last minute appointment, Fey truly goes above and beyond for her clients. Her level of professionalism and expertise allowed me to really just relax and enjoy my big day, knowing that she had everything under control. Thank you again to Fey and the entire Statuesque Events team!

t what u dreamed of. I love them forever!

d in to calm our nerves and guided us masterfully to a beautiful day. From our first conversation Fey listened and truly understood our vision. She patiently answered all of our questions, helped us right our way off track budget, and completed our overall design. She created a unique X and O pattern for our reception space and honored our wish to incorporate the bride’s grandmother by including Delphinium blooms in our custom arrangements. In the weeks leading up to our wedding she ensured everyone had a schedule and she left no detail to chance. When the weather did not cooperate day-of she seamlessly adjusted without any issues or stress to us. We had an amazing day and we are 100% sure it would not have been possible without Fey and her team. She was a true partner and her partial planning services saved the day!

ot, I decided to reach out. I am so glad I did! I was so indecisive with my floral choices I changed them so many times! Fey was so great and didn't make me feel like I was being an annoying bride. After chatting with Fey I also thought about a day of coordinator so we booked her team for that as well! Our wedding went off so perfectly ! Everyone was in place at all times thanks to Fey. The timeline was perfect and man oh man my flowers absolutely gorgeous!!! I am so glad we decided to go with Statuesque. We had the wedding of our dreams. Thank you Fey and team. My family and I are so grateful. I'm recommending to all my newly engaged coworkers!

first Ethiopian client (must admit we were a bit nervous at first) but her passion and dedication to planning put us at easy. She is well organized, accommodating, professional, and articulated (HUGE PLUS). She was there every step of the way making sure we meet our deadlines, listened to all of our concerns and made suggestions when needed. If you are shopping around for a wedding planner, look no further because you won’t be disappointed.

l, great people to work with. I received many compliments from my bridal train and guests on how organized and smoothly the wedding went from the beginning to the end. This is an amazing feat especially for a 300+ Nigerian wedding with a 20 person bridal train. Without Statuesque Events on my side, I would not have had the wedding of my dreams!

essionalism shone through our entire experience with her. She made the last month of planning less stressful for us. Vendor management, timeline planning, communication, the works! She was awesome!! She was detail oriented and knowledgeable. She ensured our wedding party had what they needed and kept everyone on schedule. What amazed everyone was how she did this with so much ease while keeping everyone relaxed. I can't imagine how we thought we could do it ourselves! On our wedding, she was our right-hand woman and made sure our day was as special as it could be. Thank you so much, Feyi. You a ray of calming, awesome sunshine!

it being a two-day affair (the first evening being the Nigerian traditional wedding and the second day being our church ceremony and reception). All of these things we had in mind to accomplish under the constraints of a very strict budget and roughly a ~7 month planning window. We signed on to have her do full planning for the “white wedding” day and light planning/setup for the traditional event with the rationale that our families would drive how a lot of that Saturday went. Feyi went ABOVE AND BEYOND in helping us with the selection of the venues and having the feeling of each day be reflective of us and our interests. She was also amazing in sourcing our vendors and keeping us updated on how we tracked to budget and deadlines on when we would need to have different decisions made. Some of these vendor decisions did not come without their bumps in the road, but Feyi was patient with us in accommodating our shifts and preferences.There were very few items that Feyi was pretty forceful about making us choose to do and in those instances I followed her guidance and they yielded beautiful results (e.g., vintage limo and star lighting at our second venue). The weeks leading up the wedding were hectic with regular wedding things (e.g., family, getting outfits updated, etc) and Feyi rolled with all of the last minute guest changes, music changes, etc that we shot her way without batting an eye. I’m not sure how she and her team pulled it off, but we’re forever grateful for it. On the Saturday, although she was only contractually required to be there through the start of the event Feyi was there until the bitter end making sure that the venue was broken down correctly and that she was there to help with any issues that arrived including setup & clean up. She had a detailed schedule out to all of the vendors so at the crack of dawn the following morning hair, makeup, and photography commenced like clockwork with another member of her team checking in with both the bridesmaids and grooms party to make sure things were moving along. The Sunday reception was absolutely lovely and went off without a hitch. Critiques: If I could do it again I would have done her full coordination for both the Traditional Day and the Wedding Day. There ended up being a lot of confusion that day as to which family members were in charge of what on the traditional day and while the event was still very nice it would have saved a lot of headaches had it been Feyi’s to plan. The half coordination thing just doesnt make a ton of sense as a service in general. Feyi was VERY responsive, that said I think my husband and I planning this from farther away made it so that we would have done a lot better with a formal framework for moving things along (e.g., visuals of what we have to have accomplished and hard deadlines). I don’t think this would feel as necessary if we’re in the same state, but one of recurring anxieties was my husband and I wondering if we were on track.
