I want to take the time to say how amazing Dalia and Farah, from The Event Planner, are! I booked with Dalia, hardly a month before my wedding for a day of coordinator, as it was starting to dawn on me how many things needed to get done on the day of the wedding that I didnt want myself or my family having to deal with. Day of coordinator is not the right term to use for these ladies because they go above and beyond. Dalia was going over everything that was to happen on the wedding day from our very first meeting and didnt stop till after the big day was over. Although I already had my vendors booked, there were still things I had questions about that I didnt know who to turn to and Dalia was always there. She gave me advice from the client perspective and the guest perspective that I wouldnt have necessarily gotten by asking my vendors directly. She understood that I was the first person in my house to get married and that I was pretty much winging it. She was very prompt on returning phone calls, texts, and emails which I was especially grateful for during those, "oh my gosh i forgot something" moments. These moments will always happen no matter how thorough you try to be. She took all of my vendors information, the florist, band, photo booth, photographer/videographer, cake, etc., and verified their schedule, and timing. She worked with me to make an itinerary for the entire day that involved what the bridal parties (bride and groom side) would be doing all day, what time they needed to arrive where, what time speeches were happening, what time dinner was, what time the bridal dances were, etc.. The itinerary also included the timing for everything happening with the various vendors. For instance, when my photographer was showing up to my house and to my husbands house, when the limo was arriving to pick us up and drop us off to the houses, church and venue. The address and timing for where we were taking pictures at after the ceremony. She just didnt leave anything out. It was beyond helpful. Even though it rained on the day of the wedding and we couldnt take our pictures where we wanted, there was still another game-plan ready, thanks to her. By the time we arrived at the hall, Dalia, and her assistant, Farah, had everything under control and the couple minor issues (thank goodness) that occurred, they took care of swiftly. They kept us on time, on track, and found everyone that needed to be found (including myself when I walked out of the hall for a breather..haha :) ) Our wedding had almost 350 people, so for them to step in and handle all that, you know they have to be amazing. We couldnt be happier and truly cant say enough about their amazing service and genuine investment in making our wedding day everything we had hoped for!

For my wedding on July 16,2016 Dalia was my “day of” coordinator. I loved doing all the wedding planning myself so at first I wasn’t sure if I even needed a “day of” coordinator, but let me tell you I did! I found Dalia and the Event Planner strictly from reviews online. Dalia made everything run smoothly and exactly the way I wanted the entire day. I didn’t have to worry about a thing. Dalia coordinated with all my vendors the week of the wedding to ensure all details were worked out. I was so busy that week of, that this was one less thing I had to worry about. All of my bridesmaids (and my picky mom!) commented on how amazing she was. My husband’s boutonniere snapped in half on the bus on the way to the reception, he texted Dalia and she was waiting with a new one when we arrived. My reception venue tried to change to the order of events that we had set minutes before my entrance, and Dalia took care of it to make sure I was happy. She also bustled my semi complicated train in like 2 mins! One thing that I found out about AFTER the wedding that Dalia just took care of: my sister (and MOH) forgot her written speech in her bag on a different floor than we were at and realized it about 2 minutes before it was her turn. Dalia literally ran and got it for her and no one had a clue (except my sister who avoided a freak out!). I also ordered my ceremony programs through Dalia and they were beautiful! I just sent her the info I wanted it in and she handled the placement and design. Dalia also helped run the rehearsal the night before and I was able to give her all décor (favors, menus, card box etc) and she made sure it was all perfect the next day. If you think you can handle all these little details the day of or that your wedding party can help you– that is true- but you, your family, and your bridal party being able to just enjoy the day is the way to go, so you NEED Dalia!!

Dalia was beyond helpful and a true lifesaver. I highly recommend Dalia to any future bride. She made everything so much easier for me. She was so organized and had step-by-step sheets setup to help me along the way. She reminded me of so many things I would have forgotten as a bride because she actually cares and wants to help along the way. She was always so quick to answer and help me out with all my needs. She would check up on me and make sure I was doing okay and always give great life saving advice. She is so trustworthy and caring and truly wants to make sure your day goes your way and that you have no worries. I felt so comfortable and confident that my wedding was in the best hands and that everything would be okay because I had such a great wedding planner as my backbone and she is always there when you need her. Thank you for making my day perfect Dalia! You and your team are lifesavers and I couldnt have had the most perfect day without your help and guidance and hard work. Thank you times a million! I beyond appreciate your services. Dalia will always be my go to person for all my future events. She proves time and time again that she is one of a kind and truly the best event planner out there.

While I am married, this review is not about my wedding (which by the way I should have used a coordinator and definitely should have used Dalia). This review is of Dalia from my best friends wedding. I met Dalia and instantly liked her. She has a very calming way about her. The entire day she had complete control over EVERYTHING going on, but let my best friend SHINE! She was not showy, she wasnt self-important, she was a polite professional that was there to make Katie look AMAZING and she did a perfect job! We were standing in the church waiting for the bride and groom to walk over to give their floral gift to Mary - I noticed that the videographer had a camera in the way. I was so worried my girlfriend and her husband were going to trip or knock over the camera...but quietly and quickly Dalia walked very calmly down the side aisle, grabbed the camera, and ACTUALLY KEPT IT FILMING perfectly on the bride and groom. She really was amazing, and dealt with everything like a true pro.
