Reviews of Engaging Affairs (Event Planner)

Cassie Coviello

My husband proposed in April of 2015 and we planned to be married 5 months later, in September of 2015. I knew with this short time frame, we needed a planner! I decided to check with my dear friend Google to see if he knew of a good wedding planner. I found 3 or 4 options and sent out an email to all, a couple responses consisted of the generic automated kick back email. I was pleasantly surprised when I listened to my first (of many) voicemails from Grace. She sounded so sweet, organized, and ready to get started. It was this initial contact that really made me feel like this company cared to make a good first impression and we set up the interview. Our first meeting with Grace was wonderful, she left us feeling confident that we could really plan and execute the wedding we wanted within our short time frame. From that day on, Grace worked diligently. She quickly gained an understanding of our likes and dislikes, which is so important when using a planner. She was able to weed out and narrow down my options without me always being there to offer input. I spoke with Grace on a daily basis, she was always updating, asking questions, or simply wishing me a good day! She set up all of the meetings, always arriving early to ensure the vendors were prepared. Grace has incredible taste and always provided her feedback in regards to staying with the style/decor I wanted. Needless to say, sometimes she knew what I wanted better than I did! She really did handle it all, leaving the fun parts for Vince and I to enjoy. Grace has incredible organizational skills, leaving no loose ends. She worked very hard to work around our busy schedule, often catching up with me via email late at night. I was always so impressed that she was working on our wedding at 11 o’ clock at night! She also worked very closely with our venue as well as the vendors, ensuring they had all of their ducks in a row for the big day. She made several visits to the church as well as reception venue without me, making sure everything was ready to run smoothly for our day. The day of the reception was PERFECT! While I am sure there were a few hiccups, Grace ensured our day was stress free. It truly could not have gone better. My husband and I really appreciated the way Grace put out fires and solved problems without involving us, always mentioning the issues that occurred a few weeks later! Grace is not only an incredible planner, she is kind, genuine, and honest. She quickly became a dear friend, a few tears were definitely shed at the end of the wedding day. Your wedding day is such a special and intimate moment, it was ideal having someone that you feel close with running the show. She helped me put on my vail, drove our golf cart around the reception, and helped me take off my very complicated dress at the end of the night. We often joked that it was our wedding day  I am happy to say that not only did my husband and I hit the lottery with our wedding planner, we gained a lifetime friend as well. Many thanks to Engaging Affairs & Grace!! Vincent and Cassie
