Above and Beyond, Highly recommended

Rania exceeded our expectation, from professionalism to value and everything in between.
Her work was way more what we expected.
Highly recommended

Terrible and unprofessional

I was looking to book and Raina never got back to me and sent me a rude email stating that I took too long to sign the contract when in reality I was waiting for her to send the contract and never received it, and she simple bailed and booked another couple without even giving me a heads up. Really unprofessional, I do not suggest.

Improvement is needed, Bride & Groom Be Aware

This company has 2 listings here on Wedding Wire. Please be careful if you choose to work with Raina and her company. Pros: Centerpieces and Flowers were beautiful and exactly what I ordered. Raina was responsive and worked within my budget. Please remember you get what you pay for!!
Cons: Our ceremony decor was unacceptable, poor and what we ordered and payed for what not close to what was provided. Things that went wrong:
Ceremony Arch- We received a different Arch, the flowers attached with green painters tape and taped and pink and green pool noodles all which were visible. We couldn't use this
Isle Runner- Was a felt Mover's floor runner taped with masking tape to the floor. We also couldn't use tis.
Candleabre- Was covered in dust with 3 lights broken (wires were chewed/disconnected) We were able to get an electrician from our venue to repair this.
No Flowers- Flowers were to line the Isle and be attached the chairs. No flowers at all were provided, when I asked Raina about where the flowers were, she said they looked cheap and she choose not to use them **The flowers were Raina's?!
Thank you Tags- I had requested the The You Tags I week prior to our wedding so I could whole punch and attached to our wedding favours. Raina advised me she would whole punch and bring to the venue. She didn't whole punch so I was unable to attached to our favours and they had to be placed on our guests plates.

Raina, I think you have potential, your Centre Pieces are beautiful, the flowers used on Centre Pieces and head table were also beautiful, your pricing was far lower than other Décor companies....but if you can't deliver the experience and décor in your contract, don't sell it!

I wrote this review to warn potential future clients of the pros and cons.

Simply amazing! Must hire!!!

We are SO glad we went with The Day Events for our week of coordination!!! Rania is simply AMAZING. We felt like we had a friend looking out for us during the final stretch before the big day. She kept us at ease and made sure we weren’t feeling any stress going into the last week. She was always quick to respond, flexible, and so professional. She is so knowledgeable in the event planning field and we felt so relieved knowing she was overlooking everything. We trusted her so much! She stayed on top of all our vendors and made sure our big day went even better than we had imagined. We highly recommend The Day Events and especially Rania!

Amazing Wedding Planning Service

Rania helped us plan our wedding so well. She was so professional, knowledgeable, and experienced. She alleviated so much of the stress that comes with wedding planning. The decoration was so elegant and looked beautiful both in real life and in the pictures. More importantly though, her help on the day of the wedding was invaluable. She and her team were amazing, everything and everyone was on time, and everyone she hired was professional and lively where they danced and celebrated with us. I honestly could not have planned the wedding without her and I have not stopped recommending her to my friends since my wedding.

Please read other reviews before hiring.

I met Rania in 2021 at a bridal show, and I did like her work and her set up there, my mom had also rented a couple of things from her for my bridal shower that we loved, my husband and I had made the decision to hire her as our day planner for our wedding in aug 2022 we gave her a $500 and she sent us a contract with all of her duties , unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances my father in law had got very sick a week before the wedding so we made the difficult decision to cancel our reception until further notice. He had passed away the same week, and we had advised rania of this and she was okay to change the date to a later date which was very nice of her. When I contacted her in Jan of 2023 to advise that we have scheduled the date for our wedding to be april 21st 2023, she mentioned it was a religious holiday for her and she would not be in attendance but she could send her team that would be able to look after the event. I didn't like this because I dealt with her and wanted her to coordinate the event, I asked for my deposit back and she refused, I asked her kindly to give me some time to talk to my husband about it.. a month went by and I contacted Rania to advise that we are okay with the other members of her team working the event if she is not willing to give us our deposit back. She then told us that noone is available to work the event and that she can not give us our deposit back nor help us with the event. Even though in her contact it states that 35% of the deposit can be given back. I dont understand why she would do this, I should have read other reviews about her before hiring her, she is unprofessional and unhelpful, we went through a very tough time and she mentioned she didnt have any other events that day for her staff so im unsure as too why she was not able too help us. It left us feeling upset, lost and tired from the whole event because our initiative to hire her as a day planner is that she would take all the stress off of us and we could enjoy our day.

Unprofessional and will invite harassment to you by posting your personal info online

Big warning to future potential customers!!!!!
Horrible experience with her. My fiancé had a sudden death in the family and we had to reschedule our engagement party. My fiancé talked to her about certain things she wanted, like decor for the stage, and she constantly asked for quotes and samples but she was unclear and did not give anything. She even asked for a deposit before giving samples.

Forward a couple months later, and we tell the owner we only want stage set up and then the owner condescendingly says that SHE prefers to do the center pieces as well, which are $85 a table. We obviously did not want that so we decided to find someone else.

The owner got upset because we decided not to do what she prefers, and she decided to post a screen recording of her and my fiancés private conversation over Instagram, which included my fiancés personal information (email, phone number, and dress). We asked her multiple times to remove the video, and she refused to remove it. We reported her video on Instagram but the video is still posted on tiktok.

Future customers BEWARE, do NOT deal with this lady. She’ll force you to do things she prefers so you can pay more money, and if you don’t comply and look somewhere else, she’ll harass you by posting your personal information online

Professional - experience and trust worthy

I worked with Rania and her team for several events, starting with my engagement, bridal shower and my wedding, She will be even planning my baby shower soon. She became a close friend now because of her honesty, transparency and high morals. she shows respect not only to her clients but also to her colleges and team. Her passion about what she does make up shine. She not only worked within my budget but also always convince my to get what is essential only, maybe that's another reason why everyone around me love her and respect her. keep it up
