Cannot say and rave enough about Michelle and her amazing crew!! I've known Michelle for about 7…read moreyears now and I must say it's been a true pleasure seeing her blossom into an assertive, compassionate, understanding, detail-oriented, accountable professional who puts her whole heart into each and every event. From the initial stages of creating a timeline and hiring wedding vendors that met OUR wedding vision and expectations until well after the wedding, Michelle made sure that every detail was accounted for, no matter how big or small. And I highlight "OUR" wedding vision and expectations because unfortunately many vendors try to mainstream weddings (menus, décor, music, etc.) to the point that it's difficult to add your own flair to your wedding, especially important, unique, cultural traditions like I tried to do. However, Michelle took this challenge as an opportunity and demonstrated to us how well developed her networking and business skills are. On the day of my wedding both of us cried. I cried because my special day was everything I envisioned and more. Not trying to be cliché, but it was TRULY picture perfect! I wouldn't have changed a single thing about it! And Michelle cried because she was happy for me, I guess! Kidding. To me Michelle crying was a reflection of how passionate she is about her work. So many guests were impressed by Michelle and her team that they immediately asked for her contact information. Michelle is unlike any other wedding-industry professional! Her team will work endlessly and if there are any problems, big or small, like running out of tequila for the margaritas because they're so darn good, they will handle it in a way that you won't even stress or know about it! So excited for Blossoming Events! Best wishes on your continued endeavors!!

I do not know where to begin with Michelle, but she is incredible. Aside from her wedding planning…read morebusiness, I have known Michelle for years. We used to be co-workers and when I told her that I was getting married she offered to help plan our wedding because she was looking into venturing into her own business. I WOULD HAVE BEEN LOST WITHOUT HER. Wedding planning is long, tedious, and exhausting- of course it has perks- but overall it is overwhelming. Michele helped me with everything from renting the bar to picking out the perfect linens. She set me up with a fabulous cake lady, and she was right along side me when we went cake tasting. I had a vision in my head of what the wedding should look like and I am known to be a control freak and a stress case. The day of the wedding arrived and I was anxiously suspicious as to why I had not received a single phone call from anyone asking questions about what they should be doing. I spent the morning getting my hair and make up done and tanning. At one point I could not contain my nerves and I text Michelle and asked what was going on and if I needed to do anything. She text me back and said that I didn't need to worry about anything and to simply enjoy myself. I have never felt so relaxed! the moment I walked into my venue and saw how exquisitely Michelle had executed my vision it brought tears to my eyes! Michelle went above and beyond to make sure my day was filled with memories and joy! I would recommend her to anyone, she has a ton of experience, she is a hard worker, reliable, and all around a beautiful human being. If you are looking for a planner for your event don't hesitate to call Michelle!

You would be hard pressed for find a better planner than Teague Events and Stephanie. She planned…read moremy big sisters wedding about 11 years ago, so within days of my engagement my dad had already booked with Stephanie. Through the entire process Stephanie was amazing. She worked with my husband and I even with us being 2 hours away from her and our wedding being 3 hours away from each of us. Stephanie was able to take my hazy muddled "vibes" of a description and turned it into a beautiful vision. When my dad died and my mom broke nearly ever bone in her body in a car crash just 4 months before the wedding Stephanie became even more valuable, not just as a planner but as a human. I didn't know if I could move forward with the day. She had about 7 different plans in place depending on what I would need, be it pushing things back a year, cutting down the list, or canceling all together. Stephanie took a day that could have been filled with pain and made it stunning. She literally helped me make it down the aisle, and carved out the most beautiful moments to honor my dad all while keeping the day focused on the love my husband and I share. It is not an exaggeration to say I genuinely love Stephanie. She is an incredible planner and a more incredible human. I'm so utterly thankful my memories of this special day all have her smiling in the background, making magic happen.

Professionalism Working with Stephanie at Teague Events was…read moreone of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the beginning, she was incredibly timely and responsive--always replying quickly and thoroughly to any question we had. She went above and beyond by joining us for vendor meetings and venue tours, even when her presence wasn't strictly necessary, just to make sure nothing slipped through the cracks. Her extensive network of vendor connections gave us high-quality options that fit both our vision and our budget. Stephanie also shared practical tips on how to keep things budget-friendly, which allowed us to save without ever feeling like we were cutting corners. Her professionalism and commitment made us feel supported and confident every step of the way. Design & Aesthetic Stephanie has very sophisticated and aesthetic taste, and she elevated the vision we had for our wedding day while staying within our budget (which was tight). She personally helped arrange the table decorations so that everything looked cohesive, balanced, and elegant. The overall design reflected us perfectly as a couple, and with her touch, it felt elevated, intentional, and beautiful. Every detail was thoughtful, and she managed to create a stunning look without ever straying from the financial boundaries we set. Execution on the Big Day When it came to the big day, Stephanie's execution was flawless. She anticipated things we didn't even know to think about--for example, our 95-degree heat could have ruined the flowers, but because she ensured each bloom had its own water source, the arrangements stayed fresh through dinner. Our decorations were exactly as my wife envisioned, but even more stunning with the little touches Stephanie added. She set up our welcome table with minimal instruction (literally just a messy sketch and a box of random pictures, flowers, and decor) and turned it into something beautiful. She seamlessly coordinated a surprise serenade I performed for my wife, ensuring it was timed and staged perfectly. Stephanie executed her job extremely efficiently without ever drawing unnecessary attention to herself, working quietly in the background to keep everything moving smoothly. Every detail was handled with calm precision, allowing us to fully relax and enjoy the day. Stephanie made our wedding seamless, stunning, and unforgettable.

This review is long overdue! I had the pleasure of having Niangi as my wedding planner for my…read moreAugust 2019 wedding. Without her by my side, I really don't know how it would have all came together. Niangi is passionate about her work as a planner. She has an eye for design, is very forthright and honest about what is doable under the set budget, and will be as flexible as possible to make everything just as you want it to be on your special day. For me, I wanted to have a large scale wedding (about 275 people) at the lowest cost possible. This was not an easy task! Planning can be very stressful, but Niangi stepped up and took care of finding and booking rentals and vendors based on our needs. Her ability to connect and network with others in the wedding industry helped me find an affordable photo booth, caterer, mariachi, and rental company. Niangi also walked me through the design aspect, and we came up with a color scheme that was simple, beautiful, and affordable (lots of natural greens and whites). I think it is Niangi's passion and drive that makes her a wonderful choice as a wedding planner. She makes things happen and always makes herself available to her clients. I also really appreciate all the times she came to me with solutions and how quick she was on her feet. For example, on my wedding night the margarita machine that we rented for the bar broke down. She was quick to round up the bartenders and update to the drink menu. Soon enough, my guests were drinking "the best" strawberry margaritas they've ever had lol. I appreciated the quick problem solving, and the fact I didn't notice a thing! My wedding day was beautiful, and our guests had a wonderful time. Most importantly, from start to finish, the planning and execution of my wedding was smooth and easy. I know I couldn't have done this without Niangi's experience and expertise as a wedding planner! If you are looking for someone to help you plan your wedding, I recommend reaching out to Niangi to see if she is a good fit for you too.

Our experience with Niangi and Alore Vaye started off promising when we hired her nine months…read morebefore our wedding. She appeared confident and assured us she could handle all our requests. She impressed us with her organization skills, using detailed Excel sheets to manage timelines, vendors, and shopping lists. Niangi accompanied us to tour our venue, caterer tastings, and even joined us to recreate a favorite drink with our bartender. However, our optimism quickly faded on the actual day of our wedding. During our ceremony, Niangi seemed overwhelmed and stressed, which unfortunately reflected in her work throughout the day. Details we had meticulously planned were overlooked. Despite discussing and agreeing on family seating arrangements the night before, Niangi's oversight led to our families being placed on the wrong sides. This forced us into an awkward last-minute adjustment coming down the aisle. The most heartbreaking moment came when we discovered the memorial piece to be placed on a seat to honor my wife's late grandmother was missing. Niangi couldn't find it and decided to move forward with us walking down the aisle with it missing, without our approval. Moving to the reception, her team was running behind and the lack of coordination became apparent. We faced issues like guests waiting in their cars due to a closed gate that her team neglected to open promptly. Once inside, guests were left without direction or welcoming. There was confusion about when guests could enter and enjoy the games we had out. When it was time for our grand entrance, guests were scattered, contrary to our planned two-line formation with champagne glasses for a toast. Niangi failed to instruct guests or ensure they had their glasses in hand, resulting in us not being able to do our grand entrance toast. Remnants from our lunch ceremony were still left out when reception guests arrived, a testament to the lack of cleanup and preparation. Additionally, despite our efforts in purchasing decorations like pool decorations with floating boards, none of it was set up. Because of Niangi's late arrival on rental delivery day, we ended up with wrong or janky items. If she had been there to do a quality check, we wouldn't have been charged for the subpar items. Several of our friends and family members reported instances where Niangi displayed a dismissive and unprofessional attitude when approached for assistance. It was disheartening to hear these comments from our loved ones, especially since we had entrusted her with such an important day. Upon returning from our honeymoon, we received feedback from multiple guests about the disorganization and unprofessional conduct at our wedding. This feedback was embarrassing for us, as we had hoped for a seamless and memorable celebration. Despite Niangi's team, particularly the bartender Renee, receiving praise for their kindness and attentiveness, it does not overshadow the overall disappointment we feel. Niangi overpromised, underdelivered, and overcharged. We feel obligated to share our experience to caution future couples.

She was the reason our wedding came together…read moreperfectly, why my vision came to life beautifully, why I felt confident going into the wedding day knowing she had everything handled. Etc etc!! We hired her as our day-of coordinator and she met with us over the two months leading up to the wedding. She put in so much time and effort, countless text threads, many Zooms, calls with all our vendors so I wouldnt have to do those, and more. She asked about all the details I'd never have thought of to make sure every aspect of the day was covered. She was there for me when I was stressed and offered me many thoughtful solutions and just a listening ear - she knows what stressed out brides need and she knows how to calm them down. On the actual day of, she and her assistant were so on top of things - executing the timing of everything flawlessly, working tirelessly literally all day long. They set up my table decor and everything so beautifully, it was literally my Pinterest come to life! At the end of the night they packed everything (and there was a LOT of stuff) back up, packed the rentals to be picked up by the company, which included bagging 90 chairs individually, and did a lot in near darkness apparently (sorry!!). Basically, she went above and beyond her day-of coordination duties and we are so so so grateful for everything she did. We love you Elaina and appreciate you so much!!!

There was a time when having a wedding planner was considered a luxury afforded only to couples…read morewith deep pockets. (Or couples who had parents with deep pockets.) I beg to differ. In my opinion, having a wedding planner was a necessity and one I would advise other brides to have, even if it means scaling back on other costs for your wedding reception. For me personally, having a wedding planner was the difference between me just being able to "pull off" my reception and me being able to enjoy it. To save some money, I hired KWE for month of/day of coordination rather than full event planning (though they were available from the get-go for contract help, referrals and all-around advice). The month before my event, Kate swooped in and took care of all the details: designing the layout of the venue, coordinating with the vendors, etc. The week before, day before and the day of she took care of everything! She picked up supplies, was on hand to greet and coordinate with other vendors, did setup and cleanup, delivered items to my house after the reception, helped keep the party on track and so much more! I am not sure if there were any snafus (though I am sure there were, how couldn't there have been?) because if there were, she took care of them on the spot. She even jumped into action when I spilled red wine on my gown early in the evening. I really, really, really cannot emphasize enough how wonderful it was to have Kate and her team on board. I strongly advise you to consider hiring her for your event.

I can't say enough good things about Kate Whelan Events. She has done many events for our family…read moresuch as weddings, engagements parties, and baptisms. She is very professional and always has a can do attitude. She will strive to make your event special and if you have a certain vision, she will bend over backwards to make it happen. Our wedding was interfaith with two ceremonies and there were many cultural aspects throughout the day. With all this, it was very difficult to plan and keep track of all the moving parts but Kate was the glue that held it all together. She has been a pleasure to work with and was a calm, reassuring presence during the whole process. I want her and her team to get the recognition they deserve as a superb event planning business.

She was on-top of her game making sure everything ran perfectly, checking in with me when things were running behind schedule, and remembering the smallest details.
