Victorious Events NYC

working with and Victorious Events was one of them. We met with several wedding planners but ultimately decided to move forward with Victorious Events as it was important that vendors we worked with would be Black-owned and she cultivated a list of Black peers. Additionally, the wedding designs she created for other couples were stunning. From the moment we hired her, Victoria showed us that we had selected the right planner. She helped us make our goal of having mostly Black vendors a reality by connecting us with other amazing, talented people. Nowhere was this more on display than in the two weeks leading up to our wedding. Both my fiancée and I got COVID and while our symptoms were thankfully mild we worried it wouldn’t be safe for us to have our wedding and were in total freak-out mode. After postponing our wedding due to COVID-19, us catching it right before the wedding was a huge blow. Victoria never wavered from her positive, optimistic self and even when we wanted to scream at her to stop being so darn cheerful, it helped calm our nerves…somewhat. But more than her ridiculously calm and optimistic nature she made sure things got DONE and that we’d be as safe as possible. Due to last-minute alterations, Kayla still didn’t have her wedding dress or second dress in the days leading up to the wedding. Guess who called us at midnight, the day before the wedding to say come downstairs? Yes, you guessed it. Victoria! Somehow, Kristin, one of the wonderful associates who work for Victorious Events was able to get Kayla’s wedding dress and it was lovingly delivered by Victoria. We could go on and on about how clutch the team was in those last few days before the wedding, but then this review would be 5+ pages. In short, let’s just say that COVID brain is real, and we forgot multiple items crucial to our wedding. For example, the team went above and beyond by going to our apartment the day before the wedding to pick up the marriage license we forgot. How we forgot that of all things, we still don’t know, but we’ll say the COVID brain fog got us good. If it wasn’t for Victoria being willing to run to our apartment to pick up our license, we literally wouldn’t be married right now. Wedding planning is HARD and you need to work with someone who you want to get through those hard times with. That person is 1000% Victoria. Her constantly upbeat and positive attitude was invaluable as we navigated through a pandemic, inflation, and general wedding mishaps. If we had to do it all over again, we’d still hire Victoria. Hands down.

s, setting up travel agency, vendors, flights etc. I also love how realistic she is as a planner especially with the budget. My mom and I have a story we say, we woke up the morning of my wedding and just chilled, got ready with hair and makeup and didn’t even know how the wedding got put together. That’s because I hired the best in the game. I was at peace that day; I didn’t worry about anything and let’s just say my wedding was “worth the wait” . I was blown away by the details from welcome dinner to taking pictures, ceremony decor, cocktail hour to reception. My day was perfect because of Victoria and Mike her husband who was my DJ. My friends and family still to this day say hands down one of the best destination weddings they have ever been to. Our guest love that it was so detailed for them, easy hotel booking to transportation. The hotel was amazing and customer service A+. Some of my male cousins are planning weddings and said I set the bar so high for them they were scared to plan theirs. I have Victoria to thank for that. My vendors always raved about their experience with Victoria as a planner and how efficient she was. My makeup artist is recommending her to everyone now.LOL My wedding was Boho sheek wedding style. Victoria did a good job of helping me pick my flower, to my floating flowers in the air at the reception. My arch was epic and to die for. My ceremony designed with the curtain back drop was epic in pictures. The details from napkins, to signature drinks during cocktail hour. Reception was facing the beach with a moon light. The tables arrangement had guest in aww, to the personalized name tags on each plate setting. The hotel even stole my seating chart mirror idea and had it in their office days after the wedding was over. My guest enjoyed the fire dancers on the beach at the end of the night, why choose fireworks when I can get real fire dancers; thanks to my wedding planner suggesting this. I also had a welcome party the night my guest all arrived that help set the tone for the wedding. The decor was spot on and the food was amazing. Last but not least; let me talk about Victoria team. Kristen and Alexis. Kristen was assigned to me and listen I didn’t have to worry about how will I get in my dress (this was a stress) but she zip that thing up like nothing. Kristen was there to fix me for pictures so every thing was perfect to taking my shoes off, dress changes, and even offering me water or food. My friend who all were already married raved about the girl with the knee pads at my wedding and how on it she was on top of it. I’m going to end this by saying picking Victoria and her team was the best decision ever and I wouldn’t change it for the world. I honestly do not know if anyone else would have been as patience as she was with us during or plan, postpone, reschedule , book again time. Ps: my husband did not see the need for a planner since he knows I know a lot of what I want and how I like things so he was more down for the day of coordinator. I always said you wouldn’t see Victoria worth until the day of. Let just say the night after the wedding he said to me how much she cost again LOL, he goes with her team and what she did today she deserve more. Also my mother in law who had a lot to say was speechless at the end.

tive, and knowledgeable throughout our planning process. The ladies on her team were also a true reflection of this and were all so wonderful to work with! Much thanks to Niajah for all of her help <3 For Context: I remember my first phone call with Victoria back in 2019, pre pandemic, when the thought of hiring a planner wasn’t exactly top of mind. My husband and I are great organizers in our day to day so.. no need right? Ha! Victoria graciously educated me on all of the behind the scenes details that we never quite considered, but she still left the ball in my court to decide. I loved her approach in that moment, and it’s the same attitude she kept through postponement , rehearsal and wedding day. Victoria gave us room to be independent & creative as a couple even while she was coordinating/planning on our behalf. She even went above and beyond what we hired her for, just to ensure everything would come together- Thank you Victoria & team for making the experience so memorable!

ding day. Whether you are in the beginning stages of planning or just looking for a day of coordinator, you will not be disappointed.
