We are very glad we went with Fani and her team for our wedding! When we were first selecting a wedding coordinator, Fani stood out from the other people we interviewed because she really made us feel that she had made time for us, and was willing to meet us where we were, and listen to what we wanted. She was very communicative and receptive to our requests during the planning process, and was very knowledgeable and able to provide the right level of guidance for things we weren't sure of. She was our 6-week lead-up and day-of coordinator, and she did the décor and florals for our 35-person wedding, and we were very happy with how our wedding turned out! The flowers and décor were beautiful, and her coordination was seamless, to the point where I just got to experience my wedding without worrying about any logistics at all! We also chose to have Alex as our DJ, and he did a great job managing the vibes throughout the evening- definitely the right choice! Our wedding day truly would not have been the same without Fani, Alex and their amazing team!

We hired Woods Events & Co. for partial planning, hoping for structure and support, but unfortunately, working with them increased our stress throughout the process and on our wedding day (and this was the feedback from several family and friends as well).

Pre-Wedding Planning & Communication:

Lack of Organization & Transparency: We were constantly chasing for updates on timelines and invoices to make sure we didn't miss anything - but when we missed contracts, she would say it's always our fault when we mentioned we're really busy and we need extra support and reminders on the vendor invoices.

Mistakes & Lack of Accountability: We were sent inaccurate invoices (such as incorrect taxes) that we had to catch and ask to be corrected. There was an error on an order where 2 decks of cards were ordered instead of 100; rather than taking accountability, we were told this was our choice despite having an email trail where I asked for confirmation on the design ask and volume, also we asked them to do our decor design for the cards but I ended up doing design work myself because it was done so poorly.

Unfulfilled Commitments: Scheduled calendar meetings didn't happen, design deliverables didn't match the original proposal, and promised previews (like seeing the bridal bouquet prior to the wedding day) never occurred.

Rehearsal & Wedding Day Execution:

Absent Management: The lead planner was not available and she was not willing to find an alternative from her team attended our rehearsal, she gave very limited guidance in their absence—to the point where our priest assumed a friend was the coordinator. They were very inflexible to support us here - we had to accommodate their schedule, which added a lot of stress onto the church and our bridal party.

Passivity & Disorganization: On the wedding day, there was a major lack of presence and direction. Family members and the bridal party had to clear venue entrances, locate delayed party members, and round people up for photos. At one point, the bridal party was left waiting in a room for 15 minutes before the grand entrance with no direction or updates while the planner was disengaged. There was feedback that Fani spent a lot of time on her phone and asked the bridal party what the plan was vs. helping support them to stay on schedule. She had no idea where the photographers were, the bridal party and myself had to find them in the venue which resulted in rushed photos.

Vendor Coordination: She was unfamiliar with key details, including the schedule, photography updates, and even our grand entrance song. Even though she had shared this...

DJ Services: Guests provided feedback that the DJ refused to play requested songs.

While we had hoped for a seamless experience because everything was fine until it wasn't - there was several instances we were told we were ahead of schedule with nothing to worry about... when this was not the reality. The lack of flexibility, presence, and attention to detail from the team caused significant frustration for us, our families, and our bridal party. I am sharing this so future couples can make an informed decision when choosing their planning team.

Decor and florals were beyond amazing. From the very beginning to the end of the event her communication was super thorough and reassuring (and empathetic!). Fani was supportive and genuinely invested in making the day feel great for us.
Fani also handled communication with all of our vendors professionally, I can't imagine having planned the wedding without her :) We are so grateful for everything she and her team did. Thank you!

Fani was so communicative and pleasant to work with! She had lots of great ideas, visions and recommendations, Fani knows the ins and outs of decor and planning, and was happy to answer any and all questions! Very professional and lovely. Would highly recommend!

Working with Fani was a game-changer for our wedding! From the first time we met, Fani understood our vision and helped bring it to life. She also had a magical way of taking my stress about coordinating all the vendors together away and handled all of that for me. On the big day, everything was perfect — from the décor to the timing — and we were able to enjoy every moment without worrying about anything. Their calm and professional approach made all the difference. I highly recommend Woods Events & Co for anyone looking to make their wedding day stress free and unforgettable!

We planned an intimate wedding last summer and reached out to Fani at Woods Events & Co. to rent an Arch for the ceremony. Response time was fast.
They arrived early and set up the arch in no time. We were DIY our whole set up and this team jumped in to assist us which I can't thank them enough for!
Very profession team, great communication and service.

We enjoyed every second of our wedding day, stress and worry free - all thanks to Fani and her team. They only thing she didn't do, was walk down the aisle for us! I had no idea where to start or where to look in regards to planning my big day. During our very first consultation, she must have read our mind and managed to understand every aspect of our vision, and overall taste. Within days, we had a vision board and quotes from vendors for us to chose from. The design was a perfect representation of what we had imagined. Her budget management kept us on track ensuring we weren't facing any surprises with potential expenses. On the big day, Fani had everything under control. Her calmness and experience kept everyone at ease. She was discretely present at all times and magically in all places.
Couldn't have done it with out her. We highly recommend Fani to plan your wedding!
