So, I feel after allllllll the people I came across on my bridal journey, this is my most important review I want everyone who reads, to take into consideration everything I am saying. Picture this: So, I’m about 2 months away from my wedding. All the big decisions and deadlines are rolling in, vendors are either trying to take advantage of me, blowing me off and not responding or giving very little guidance. It got to the point where I’m thinking…this isn’t fun anymore. I realized then I needed some professional help. Forget those “day of coordinators” your venue offers. They work for the venue and not for you at the end of the day. I searched social media and read a billion recommendations and comments before landing on Astonishing events. I reached out to Stephanie and she got to me right away, which is super refreshing when no one else involved in the wedding is responding back in a timely manner. She talked about everything she offers, her pricing, how it works and even listened to me complain about everything, much like a therapist would. You won’t find a more genuine, helpful person on this journey…I promise you. By the time was all said and done I wished I could have added her as a bridesmaid. lol There is no limit to the hats she wears. She does it all! She handled all the vendors that were dragging their feet and made them jump. She sorted out my highly inflamed floral quote and saved me THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. That alone paid for her services and then some. She got permits figured out the day of my wedding that the venue was giving me a hard time about. She literally repotted all my isle flowers, made sure everything was okay with me in the bridal suite, guided everyone during the day, set up a TON of decor. Which by the way, she has her own catalog of things you can rent at a FRACTION of the prices these other places will charge you. She’s the friend everyone needs. She’s is either a super hero or has a stunt double that is also a super hero. I haven’t decided yet. I don’t know how she did it but she made my wedding everything I ever dreamed of and wished it would be. I can’t say enough good about her. Astonishing Events is who you need. End of story. Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts!

Astonishing Events was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. The team was incredibly professional and attentive throughout the entire planning process. They are true perfectionists, which was amazing because they really understood our vision and helped bring it to life. Anytime we needed them, they were there to help solve any issues that came up. Their problem-solving skills and responsiveness were invaluable in making our special day run smoothly.

Best decision for my party

Stephanie and the team at Astonishing Events were an absolute dream to work with for our “Night Before” party. She was clear and quick to respond throughout the entire planning process, taking all the pressure off of me to ensure everything was in place and moving smoothly. Stephanie's input resulted in a beautiful design and flow to our special day, seamlessly coordinating food delivery, music, and more. I wasn't going to hire an event planner for the "night before" but I'm so glad I did - it was the best decision and best money spent! Stephanie and her team's professionalism and expertise made our sunset party (which was just as big as the next day wedding) perfect from start to finish.
Amazing Wedding all thanks to Astonishing Events!
