Reviews of Ang Weddings and Events (Event Planner)

Catherine Schiff

I own a fine linen company that specializes in renting for weddings. We've worked with countless wedding planners, and few have been as professional, prompt, and creative as Ang Weddings. We recently worked together on a June Blue Hill at Stone Barns wedding and owner Tzo Ai was super responsive and detailed oriented. Since they treat fellow wedding vendors with such respect and professionalism, I have no doubt that they help couples execute the dreamiest weddings. We can't wait to work together again!

The BEST decision I made regarding anything wedding-related was choosing Ang Weddings and Events to plan my wedding. I hired Tzo Ai in early April to plan my July 19 wedding at the Plaza and I am still amazed that she was able to plan the most gorgeous and seamless event in only three and a half months! I am very indecisive, and my husband is an extremely detail-oriented perfectionist, and Tzo Ai was able to work with both of our personalities and deliver exactly what we envisioned within our strict budget. Tzo Ai's vendor recommendations were excellent; I wound up using everyone she recommended and I was so pleased on our wedding day to only be surrounded by the warmest, most professional experts who were truly a joy to work with. Tzo Ai’s organizational and communication skills were phenomenal. I was impressed by her responsiveness; she would often respond to my emails and phone calls within minutes, even on Saturday evenings. I truly felt like I had someone that was 100% dedicated to me, the entire time I worked with her. Tzo Ai’s team was exceptional on the day of the wedding. They were able to keep a perpetually late, disorganized, huge Indian family on schedule, which is a daunting task. I considered Tzo Ai akin to a magician on the wedding day. She was prepared for every little thing, even the unexpected, and throughout the reception, it seemed as though any time I needed her she suddenly appeared and fixed everything, instinctively. The entire day went by perfectly, without any issues (or if there were any, they never materialized to me or my family, because Tzo Ai took care of everything). Finally, Tzo Ai exudes elegance, warmth, and grace. I truly looked forward to every phone conversation and meeting, and I always left feeling confident that my wedding was left in the very best possible hands.

Tzo Ai was an absolute dream to work with, and working with her was, by far, the best decision we made for our wedding. I could not recommend her more. Our venue had a wedding coordinator so we originally thought we only need a day-of/ month-of coordinator for our wedding. Luckily, our photographer was honest with us and said that we would enjoy our day more if we hired a planner. She suggested a short list of planners, including Tzo Ai, who she later said is "the hardest working person she knows". After planning a large (315 person) wedding, I agree completely. Tzo Ai was everything you could want in a planner--organized, supportive, responsive, experienced, and had great attention-to-detail, an incredible eye for design and wonderful taste. She is also an exceptional person with a warm, friendly, calming demeanor, and because of that, was an absolute joy to work with. We had a 10.5 month engagement, and hired Tzo Ai with about 9 months to go. We did her "Partial Planning" package because we had already found a venue and hired a few other vendors when we engaged her. However, the services she offered were far beyond partial. My fiance, mom and I remarked on several occasions that we weren't sure what we would have done without her! She jumped in from the start, reviewing contracts and seamlessly fixing any design or timing flaws with our vendors. When hiring new vendors, she was incredibly knowledgeable and supportive, but never obtrusive. She allowed our vision to guide the process, and was always there nurturing and improving it using her experience and eye-for-design. Our wedding was the best day of our lives. We were able to completely relax and enjoy ourselves because we knew we were in good hands. Everyone told us that things wouldn't go as planned on our wedding day, but not to let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Well, everything actually was perfect--all thanks to Tzo Ai!

Deciding to work with Tzo Ai was the best decision for our wedding. She was everything we thought we might need in a wedding planner and more. Tzo Ai is calm, organized, gracious, and supportive. She makes everything feel easy. We did not realize how many things we’d have to do, how many options there would be, or how many decisions we’d have to make, let alone the timeline for each, but Tzo Ai masterfully guided us through it all. At each step, she’d ask for our thoughts, opinions, and preferences, and then provide numerous suggestions (along with relevant links). With each option, Tzo Ai included her thoughts regarding and experience with each, and (always) offered to provide more options if we wanted something else. She always kept us on schedule and reminded us of deadlines without nagging or being a nuisance. Tzo Ai’s organization, care, and thoughtfulness limited all of the stress of wedding planning. Tzo Ai was also very receptive to all of our ideas and suggestions and worked hard to make the wedding our own, accommodating all of our small detail changes and twists with ease. Tzo Ai thought of every last detail, including many we had not even considered. She was incredibly responsive to all of our questions, answering our emails almost immediately and served as an excellent liaison to our vendors before, during, and even after the wedding. Tzo Ai was instrumental in helping us have the wedding of our dreams, and we highly recommend her.

Tzo Ai was nothing short of amazing. She was so easy to work with, and made my wedding planning experience painless. She was so quick to respond to any questions (first wedding in the family so none of us had any idea what to do or where to begin), comments (always willing to give feedback about design/vendors/pricing/anything else), or concerns I had. She was so kind and patient with me and my family, and really just an awesome person to lead me through this process. Picking her as my planner was the best decision I made for my wedding- she really knows her stuff!!!

Linden Hill

Tzo Ai was an absolute delight to work with, from beginning to end. When I first met Tzo Ai, about eighteen months before the wedding day, it was obvious that in addition to being incredibly organized and detail-oriented, she was equally warm and a pleasure to spend time with. We appreciated that she helped us establish our budget very early on in the planning process so that we could select our vendors accordingly. Tzo Ai always asked the right questions, was prompt in communication, and guided us toward vendors who would work well with not only our aesthetics, but also our personalities. It was clear that each of our vendors (as well as everyone at our venue) adored working with Tzo Ai as much as we did. Additionally, Tzo Ai remained calm, no matter what. When I moved across the country nine months before the wedding, Tzo Ai seamlessly coordinated us, across multiple time zones, in finishing the planning process and securing the last-minute details. We couldn’t have imagined a more perfect wedding day. My husband and I could fully enjoy ourselves; we knew we had nothing to be anxious about because Tzo Ai and her wonderful team had everything under control. Tzo Ai made our year+ of wedding planning a joy. We loved working with her and can’t recommend her highly enough!

Anna Blum

Tzo Ai Ang, owner of Ang Weddings and Events, is an absolutely amazing wedding planner. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone I know. Throughout the whole year of planning, she was consistently reliable, detail-oriented, kind, thoughtful, receptive, proactive, and affable. She connected us with the best of the best and always understood what we wanted, for which we are immeasurably grateful as extremely particular people. On the day of, she made sure everything went smoothly, without a hitch! She was on top of everything, including the flowers, the catering, the venue, and the timeline, all without stressing anyone out. I couldn't have gotten married without Tzo Ai! -Anna and David, Blue Hill at Stone Barns

Danielle Schulweis

Tzo Ai is incredible -- she is so organized and on top of everything, responsive no matter what time of day and just generally a delight to work with. She made the process so easy and stress-free by recommending great vendors (with as many or as few options as I wanted) and making sure everything stayed on track / got done when it needed to, all with a calming and patient demeanor. She made our wedding absolutely perfect and we couldn't have done it without her. Would highly recommend her services to anyone planning a wedding--you won't regret it!

Sarah Hagerbrant

Tzo Ai Ang is absolutely amazing. My husband and I were living out of state while trying to plan a wedding, which would have been impossible if we didn't have Tzo Ai. She broke down the whole wedding planning process into manageable tasks so it never felt overwhelming. She was always easily accessible if me, my mother, or my husband needed anything whether it be advice or an answer to a question. Tzo Ai is such a kind and unbelievably patient person. It was the absolute best having her and her assistants in charge of managing everything behind the scenes the day of the wedding! This allowed my husband and me to truly enjoy our wedding day stress-free! If you're thinking, "oh I can totally plan a wedding by myself" don't fool yourself, just hire Tzo Ai! Trust me you won't be disappointed!

Carrina Chan

Tzo Ai was instrumental in planning our wedding from the day we got engaged to the day we got married. Given that our wedding had both chinese traditional component and western component, the wedding was an intensive whole day affair. Tzo Ai made sure that each part of the wedding went as planned. We had a great time at our wedding and we attribute that in no small way to Tzo Ai's masterful planning. We had a relaxed and fun wedding and we are really thankful for everything she did for us, in particular, peace of mind. She is efficient, calm, tasteful, detail oriented, professional and friendly. She is like an oasis in any wedding chaos. We highly recommend Tzo Ai.

My husband and I hired Ang Weddings and Events for full planning and it was the best decision we made. Tzo Ai was on a very short timeline - just 4 months!!! We started out thinking we wanted to have two separate events, a very small, intimate ceremony and a large celebration at a later date. However, we quickly realized that we wanted to go the traditional route. Tzo Ai pivoted so quickly and had everything under control right away. This pivot also let us have the wedding at an incredibly beautiful venue that wasn't available during the original dates. Tzo Ai executed everything flawlessly despite the fact that we both travel a lot and lived in different cities. The entire process was seamless, from venue scouting to getting everyone there day of. Tzo Ai made the vendor selection process super easy by presenting us with some options that she thought would work best based on our vision and they were always on point. We were so happy with the vendors we worked with and we could tell that Tzo Ai has an amazing network because of the relationships she's built with them all! I am a very hands on person with everything, but bringing Tzo Ai on board allowed me to relax and enjoy being a bride. Not once was a stressed out about something related to wedding planning because I always knew that Tzo Ai was on it. She is so organized, professional, graceful, and the list goes on! Our wedding day was so fun and beautiful. It truly was the best day of our lives and I wish we could do it all over again. 100% recommend Ang Weddings and Events if want all your wedding dreams to come true!

Tzo Ai was beyond incredible to work with for our wedding at Cipriani Broadway. She is super organized, responds to our emails within minutes, and was extremely reliable. Throughout the process, she remained so calm, professional and supportive. She was constantly two steps ahead, thinking of every detail and was so helpful in the decision making process. Hiring Tzo Ai was the best decision we made surrounding our wedding. She connected us with some of the best vendors in New York City and everyone was such a joy to work with. She made the process so much less stressful and I trusted her so much that I didn't worry about a thing on my wedding day. I couldn't be more grateful for her help and expertise. On the actual day of the wedding, she ran back and forth from the bridal and grooms suite, and the venue, and did an incredible job coordinating between all of the vendors. From orchestrating photography and logistics at my hotel to overseeing the set up of everything at the venue, she was unbelievable. Thank you doesn't seem like enough to express how grateful I truly feel to have worked with her.

I got engaged and moved to San Francisco two days later, but being from Westchester and having lived in the city together for four years, my then-fiance and I knew we wanted our wedding to be in New York. We also knew we needed help, as the wedding needed to be planned during my first year in a new position at work. I couldn't have asked for more than Tzo Ai. She was easy to work with, articulate, incredibly organized, communicative (in sense of effectively setting/managing expectations), patient (with me), persistent (with vendors), and knowledgeable about all things/vendors/venues wedding, and had fantastic taste to boot, which made her someone on whose opinion I could rely. She was also professional and responsive around the clock, to a degree that would excel in the investment banking world, if that gives other prospective brides any comfort. Her demeanor is a wonderful combination of calming and take-charge; you know everything will be done exactly right if left to her. I loved her checklists, her timelines, and her budget, as well as every vendor to whom she introduced me. When I got too bogged down in the details and was having a hard time making decisions, she was incredibly helpful in reminding me of my initial reactions to various options and how different choices would fit together. If I hadn't known she was working with other brides, I'd never have guessed it; her service was always so personalized and prompt. And of course she pulled off a few mini-miracles, including seamlessly replacing my bridal car when our original vendor had an issue the day before our wedding and finding my favors on an errant FedEx truck the day of. Thanks to all of Tzo Ai's wonderful work, we enjoyed every second of our wedding day.

Words can't sufficiently convey how amazing our experience was working with Tzo Ai Ang to plan our wedding! From start to finish, she made planning easy, fun, exciting and personal. She introduced us to the very best vendors and we ended up with the most incredible, talented team of creatives. She was instrumental in translating our vision for our wedding day into reality and she really captured our personalities in a very organic way (never asking us to fill out any forms or questionnaires, just taking the time to get to know us!!) and helped them to shine through in all of the details of the event. We are great fans of Tzo Ai and we cannot recommend her enough - she is thorough, efficient, calm, kind, patient, understanding, and approaches things with a sense of humor. Vendors all love her, she knows all of the people she works with by name and is clearly admired and respected among them - we can’t count the number of people who told us how lucky we were to be working with Tzo Ai and that she is their absolute favorite wedding planner to work with. We worked with Tzo Ai over a period of 18 months - which is an exceptionally long time to devote to wedding planning and which also left a lot of room for us to change our minds about things over and over. Through it all, even up the actual night of our wedding, when, exhausted, we decided to end the event 30 minutes earlier than planned, Tzo Ai was incredibly responsive, flexible, patient, helpful and understanding. While we knew our wedding day would be amazing, nothing could have prepared us for just how wonderful it was. Leading up to the wedding, countless people told me, my husband and even my mom to be prepared for something to go wrong. All day, we kept waiting, but everything went so incredibly smoothly and if anything did go wrong (which I doubt), I still haven't heard about it! The entire day felt like a dream, everything went according to plan, we really didn’t have to lift a finger the entire day and Tzo Ai exceeded every expectation we had.

Tzo Ai is the epitome of grace, efficiency, and elegance. We had a splendid evening at our vow renewal ceremony and reception , thanks to her meticulous and cheerful attention to thousands of details. From the aesthetics to the finances, Tzo Ai's taste and efficiency is unequalled. Behind the scenes, she took care of every vendor, and her contacts are professional and highly skilled. We are very grateful! My husband marveled at how fluid the evening flowed thanks to Tzo Ai's guiding hand! Tzo Ai: Thank you seems insufficient to express how grateful I am.You are truly talented and thanks to your expert planning, the process and the event were joyful rather than stressful. This is truly the material that dreams are made of.

5 Stars simply doesn't do Tzo Ai & Ang Wedding and Events justice! After deciding to get married, Tzo Ai was the second greatest decision we made. After getting engaged in June of '16 we knew that we wanted to have a fall wedding in NYC. Tzo Ai is more than a planner, she's a friend! Without her we would not have been able to fulfill our dream wedding. Tzo Ai is meticulous, organized, thoughtful, helpful, and extremely even tempered. It's been said that Wedding's can be stressful, Tzo Ai was our bedrock throughout all decisions. Her network and contacts afforded us access, opportunity, and diversity to help create our dream day. From Venue Location, Flowers, Food, Cake, Music, Invitations, and Transportation, to every nuance and moving part of our wedding, Tzo Ai allowed us to enjoy the process more than we could have ever dreamed of. When making big decisions she was able to share her insight, design prowess, and objective thoughts, allowing us to make decisions that were best for us! The amount of time, effort, communication, and emails that Tzo Ai championed for our wedding is almost unimaginable. She was incredibly responsive to all communication and seemingly at any time of the day! Emails were received and responded to with what can only be described as light speed. She was an excellent proxy to all of our vendors throughout our entire engagement. Without a doubt, Tzo Ai saved us countless hours hours of stress, angst, and money. Tzo Ai and her team on the day of the wedding were simply impeccable! Everyone's friends, family, and bridal party received (weeks before) detailed information on the day of from Tzo Ai which was executed to perfection. The day of can be stressful for every family, and Tzo Ai afforded us peace of mind, top notch service, and wonderful memories. With every behind the scenes issue, Tzo Ai immediately had a solution. We couldn't recommend someone more highly then Tzo Ai and her team at Ang Wedding and Events, simply the best!

I feel incredibly lucky to have worked with Tzo Ai planning our November wedding. So many people told us, "this was the BEST wedding I've ever been to", and we owe it all to Tzo Ai and her team. Tzo Ai responds to emails within minutes, and seems to handle even the most delicate situations with grace and poise. She is highly organized, calm, professional, has exquisite taste and fantastic relationships with the best vendors in the New York area. We are so grateful to her - she gave us the best night of our lives!

Randi Piaker

We are very picky, and not easy to please, we have high expectations of people we hire. Tzo Ai surpassed all of those expectations, which is beyond rare! I think the thing that sticks out the most to me is her responsiveness. There was literally never a time, late night, weekends, even when she was out of the country on vacation with her family when she did not respond to an email quickly. There was not a time when we threw her a curve ball that she sighed or even hinted displeasure. When we were meeting with vendors and we couldn't think of anything more to ask she always piped in with meaningful and important questions that we had not thought of. My daughter could be indecisive and often wanted someone to help her make the most minute decisions and Tzo Ai always gave her advice without telling her what to decide. She recommended the best vendors, notably; florist, cake maker, photographer, hair and make-up people. She never had any resistance when we wanted to use someone we found ourselves and went above and beyond in dealing with them as if she had always done so. She always offered help with things that weren't even part of our contract, like rehearsal dinner, brunch, hotel room blocks. We literally cannot sing her praises enough! if you hire her i can promise you you will be delighted! feel free to contact me if you have any more questions! ask her for my number. Randi

Hiring Tzo Ai was simply the best decision we made in our planning process. She was a pleasure to work with and be around throughout the wedding process. She recommended excellent vendors that we would otherwise have never heard of and she always knew how to solve any thorny issues that emerged. Me, my husband and my parents were able to relax and enjoy ourselves on our wedding day because we knew that everything was under control. If that isn't the best investment on your wedding day, I don't know what is!

Kathryn Auw

Ang Weddings and Events was the best investment my fiance and I made as we prepared for our wedding day! Tzo Ai was such a pleasure to work with throughout our eight and a half month long engagement, and we knew that our complex celebrations would be in great hands with her expertise. We had a multi-cultural (Indian and Chinese), two-ceremony (Hindu and Catholic) wedding with over 200 guests in New York City on October 4th, and my fiance and I approached Tzo Ai in January entirely clueless about the process. She expertly guided us to excellent vendors that matched our stylistic preferences, and we knew that we could always trust her to create an elegant event for us. Tzo Ai's organization and responsiveness are top-notch; early on, she drafted a timeline to fit all the celebrations in smoothly, and she helped us nagivate all of our extra moving parts and additional vendors seamlessly. Moreover, we really appreciated Tzo Ai's professionalism, particularly with how she effortlessly managed opposing opinions and ideas from our families, and was able to help us execute on a very tasteful concept that appeased everyone involved. The day of the wedding presented logistical challenges, but everything went smoothly thanks to Tzo Ai. Although we experienced heavy rain, unexpected traffic and road closures delaying our first look pictures, and a prolonged Hindu ceremony that shortened the amount of time Tzo Ai and her assistants had to change the room over for our Catholic wedding ceremony, the team was so well prepared and organized that the whole day was seamless and we were able to relax and enjoy the day. And the execution was flawless! She delivered us a wedding more beautiful than we had had envisioned, and we really could not have done it without Tzo Ai. We absolutely loved working with Tzo Ai, and would highly recommend the services of Ang Weddings and Events too all couples in the planning process!

Tzo Ai is absolutely amazing! She is incredibly organized and a wonderful person to be around. What I wanted most from a planner was the comfort that all of the details were being taken care of and with Tzo Ai I never once worried that anything would be forgotten. In the beginning of the process, she was so helpful in picking vendors -- asking questions we didn't even know to ask -- and always provided advice without trying to influence our decisions. The day of the wedding, everything was perfect and Tzo Ai and her assistants (who were also wonderful) were everywhere, doing everything. I was completely calm knowing that every detail would be taken care of. We were also switching back and forth between having the ceremony inside or outside due to weather. When the weather cleared up right at the last minute, she was able to reorganize all of the vendors and make sure everything turned out perfectly. We couldn't recommend her highly enough!
