We were so blessed to have Nexa Events, led by the incredible Inna Chebeliuk, to coordinate our…read morewedding. Inna pulled off the impossible - bringing to life our vision of a beautiful Fall Garden Boho-ethereal Wedding in merely 3 months! With just few months to plan for a medium-sized wedding, I needed a Monica Geller from Friends! Inna was all that and more. She was organized and meticulous in her planning, effective in managing the budget, very experienced, resourceful and well-connected to a variety of vendors. Nexa has a list of trusted vendors that they work with, including MC, DJ, photography/videography and florist, and they were all excellent! In a very short time, Inna found many stunning wedding venues, negotiated and secured our top-choice. It was also very easy and comfortable communicating with Inna. We connected immediately, and she quickly understood my aesthetics and vision for the wedding. But most importantly, I loved working with Nexa because Inna made me feel like she and I are working together to animate a very special day of my life and not someone I had commissioned to plan an event. I hope you guys understand the magnitude of this difference. Have Inna plan your next event, and you will appreciate how wonderful she is! P.S. Inna's husband, Aleksei Chebeliuk, is an award-winning celebrity accordionist who works alongside Inna as Nexa's MC. During our wedding reception, as a kind and utmost generous gesture, Aleksei surprised and graced our ears with his accordion (pic attached). Thank you, Inna & Aleksei; it was such a beautiful wedding gift! Not only are you guys extremely good at what you do, you do it with the most precious heart and genuine kindness. I hope we get to work again!

Quest ended in less than 5mins. Yes, odd for a toddler bday to have an MC but there were 140 people and we needed someone to lead the party. Alexsei came earlier than us preparing for the party. He even went out of his way to bring a red carpet for the photo zone. I requested him to play some funny games he probably never heard of but he managed to pull it off like it was his. We had 7 dwarfs and my daughter was the snow white. He made all 7 dwarfs dancing to the beat and little kids followed them. Great choice of music tok. His partner quietly supported Alexsei to do everything right. I will be seeing him every year. Thank you! Did I say he was the last one to leave the party?

Throughout the planning process, Fernanda was able to offer cost efficient alternatives that I would have never thought of or found on my own. She supplied all of the equipment for my candy bar and all of the misc. decorations that tied everything together. The amount of money I saved more than paid for her services! Not only did I have a 4 month planning deadline, but I also had a very specific theme in mind. I insisted on making all of the decorations myself and just left it for her to figure out the day of. Her team did an exceptional job putting everything together and exceeded all of my expectations. Along with the decorations looking FANTASTIC, Fernanda and her team were there the entire night making sure that the whole event went smoothly and took care of every issue that arose so I could enjoy the night stress free. Fernanda is professional, creative, and reliable. I would recommend her for and all styling and coordination for any event. Not to go on but I can't leave out the makeup, hair, and, styling that came along with my package. All my bridesmaids were spoiled and enjoyed the fabulous treatment. I thought to plan my own wedding in order to save money, but I repeat myself, good wedding planners SAVE you money, surPASS your greatest ideas and most importantly let you ENJOY the outcome! I can wash my car, I might need some help, I just saw the soap, but where is the towel! My vacuum won't reach, my sons out of school, I got soaked and I'm freezing, but Wait! I still have my money for the Car Wash, honey. Ferchy and her team had all my supplies, ideas, connections, I mean from the flowers and invitations to the pictures and stylist, Ferchy and her team impressed me greatly! Again You can plan your own wedding, just like You can wash your own car.

We were thankful for the opportunity to work with Nicole, as she truly was the most wonderful wedding planner - hyper-organized, competent, responsive, creative, patient, kind, and able to get along well with all types of people. Her team was amazing too! Our Catholic wedding brought together two strong-willed Italian and Irish families. Nicole's brilliant stakeholder management and religious/cultural awareness allowed Nicholas and me to have the wedding we wanted; our families were happy too. We worked closely with Zillman Weddings from July 2020 to May 2021, and Nicole effortlessly handled the challenges of wedding planning during a pandemic, especially vendor management. When the gospel choir I hired couldn't perform due to social distancing requirements, Nicole quickly connected us with singer Helena Buscema (with her magnificent voice), and when the makeup artist I hired wasn't working out, Nicole brought in Betsy Francesca with her decades of experience as a makeup artist for cinema-television, magazines, and weddings. Zillman Weddings had the industry experience and relationships to flawlessly deliver our wedding experience. Even as a professional project manager, I was thrilled we signed-up for the "diamond" package and enhanced the wedding services to include support for our pre-wedding events, plus our honeymoon travel arrangements. Zillman Weddings and Travel took care of it all beautifully!

As my daugher lives in another state, I planned most of the wedding details. Nicole was a big part of it. We first met at the venue where I explained our vision and what had been planned and ordered already. She took extensive notes. She got permits for us, issued and rewrote the vendor and day-of timelines as things changed. She liaised with all the other vendors regarding delivery and services. Nicole directed the wedding rehearsal, and made sure all of the favors and decor were in place by the time the wedding started. On the wedding day, she and her team were on top of all the details - great communication between the 3 of them. We didn't have to do a thing afterwards, Her team handled all the clean-up. She allowed this mother of the bride, bride and groom to enjoy the day the way it was meant to be enjoyed.

We could not have asked for a better wedding coordinator than Chantelle Louise O'Callaghan. We feel…read moreso lucky to have found her. I interviewed 4 other "Day of" coordinators and none put me at ease so much as Chantelle. She is calm, reassuring, dedicated, and an absolute pro at what she does. Although she was our "Day of" coordinator, Chantelle checked in with me periodically months before the wedding was to take place and answered all of my questions and provided candid advice on vendors and etiquette. She attended our final meeting/walk through at our wedding venue to make sure that she and the venue knew precisely where we wanted our items to be placed, how the tables would be set up, when various events would take place, etc. She contacted all of our vendors, my maid of honor and the best man to introduce herself and make sure everyone understood their roles and responsibilities during the wedding. When my makeup artist dropped out 2 days before my wedding because she came down with pneumonia, Chantelle immediately contacted me to make sure I did not freak out. On the morning of my wedding, she called me to make sure the makeup artist was on time and called me afterwards as well to make sure I was satisfied with her services. Chantelle is a logistical whiz. She created a diagram of our ceremony showing where our guests would sit, our attendants would stand, our gifts would be placed, and the order in which the processional and recessional would take place. Ours was an interfaith wedding with many components, so the diagram was extremely helpful. When I arrived at the ceremony site it was exactly as we had planned. Every item in its proper place. During our rehearsal, Chantelle was patient and understanding when some of our guests were running late. She did not rush through the rehearsal. She brought copies of the diagram she created and made sure everyone understood exactly what they were to do, where they would stand and/or be seated and explained the different cues during the ceremony. She ran through this with us twice just to be sure I was comfortable. Chantelle also worked with us to create an extremely detailed time line making sure we had enough time for all the photographs we wanted, to do our first dance, to eat, make some table visitations, make toasts, do the hora, do the father/daughter mother/son dances, cut our cake and eat it too and do the money dance. Thanks to Chantelle, all of this was pulled off without a hitch. About a week before our wedding, Chantelle gave me a detailed supplies list indicating every item needed for our ceremony and reception and who was providing what. This made my life super easy when it came time to pack everything up to be transported to the site. Due to her meticulous list, not a single thing was missing on the day. Chantelle was on top of everything during the reception. When it was my maid of honor's turn to make her toast she gave her a 5 minute warning. When my maid of honor responded that she wasn't tipsy enough, yet, Chantelle came back to her table with a full glass of wine. What more could you ask for? I honestly do not know what I would have done without Chantelle. I enjoyed every moment of my wedding because I knew everything was in good hands. I cannot gush about Chantelle enough. She made our wedding a dream come true.

We got rave reviews from our guests saying it was the most fun and guest-friendly wedding they had been to. We had the time of our lives.
