    I would 100% recommend Barb and the Fresno Event Group for any of your event planning needs! She is…read moreso knowledgeable, friendly, easy to work with, and considerate. She knows how to get things done and get them done right. I can't even imagine what my wedding day would have been like without her. We booked a venue that was a completely blank slate because we had a very specific vision for what we wanted the wedding to be and look like. Barb came in with the perfect suggestions for vendors and great advice about logistics. She knew exactly who to call when we said we wanted TONS of color in our florals. She knew exactly what we needed when we said the venue doesn't have a built-in bar. She read through and kept on top of all our contracts. We booked her more than a year ahead of our wedding and she stayed in contact the entire time. We had 280 total guests and the Fresno Event Group knew exactly how to handle the movement of all of the guests from parking to ceremony to cocktail hour to reception. Cindy was great at setting up the site map and worked with us when we had questions about table layout and the best setup for flow. Barb had tons of tips and suggestions for moving all of the guests from space to space in our massive venue! I had one inspirational photo and a general theme and the Fresno Event Group turned our wedding into a live Pinterest board. Every single detail and idea we had was brought to life in a way that was a billion times better than we could have imagined. Everything was perfect! Barb and the team put out every little fire leading up to the wedding day and on the day of if something went wrong, I had no idea. I was living my dream wedding all thanks to their team! Our guests keep calling our wedding the best wedding they've ever been to and I truly owe that all to the Fresno Event Group.

    I would never be able to say enough good things about Fresno Event Group, they deserve more than…read morefive stars. I met Barbara while I was working in the hotel industry and I instantly loved her personality and warmth. When I got engaged about 5 years later, I immediately called Barbara to hire her for my wedding, knowing full well I wouldn't have enough time or patience to plan my whole wedding from start to finish and that I would be in great hands. (I also didn't want my bridal party or family putting out the decor or being in charge of coordinating the vendors the day of the wedding, I wanted it to be a relaxing day for all.) The whole FEG Team (Barb, Cindy and Nicole) exceeded my expectations and went above and beyond anything I could have imagined from an event coordinating company. Barb met with me anytime I needed (she doesn't restrict her clients to a max amount of meetings because she's realistic and knows that planning an event may need multiple meetings and site visits to make things perfect). She kept me on track and was incredibly organized during the whole process. She accompanied us to all vendor meetings and even met with our vendors alone if we couldn't make it. She was also amazing with my in-laws - she kept them in the loop the whole time and gained their trust right away with her professionalism and follow through. We had some difficulties dealing with our venue and she was always there willing to go to bat for us to make sure we were happy with the end result. Barb's whole team was there from the moment the tent went up on the Thursday before the wedding until the tent and pipe & drape came down on Sunday after the wedding was over. I was lucky enough to have Barb, Cindy and Nicole all there on my wedding day (4.16.16) and they worked SO hard to make sure everything about the day was beyond perfect. They never once came to tell me if anything was going wrong, they just handled it. I was more relaxed on my own wedding day than I've been for all my girlfriends' weddings! It was the most amazing day and I truly have Barb and her team to thank for that. They even surprised us with a thoughtful wedding gift. If you need anyone to help coordinate your event (not just weddings), I would obviously recommend this company above anyone else. Thank you Team FEG, we love you ladies!! Nicki & Matt Cerniglia

    In the beginning we had a great partnership and my wife and I were ecstatic to work with Victoria…read moregenesis master of events. She was the Knots top wedding coordinator for the past few years so we couldn't wait. We hired her very early on in the process one year and a half to be exact because we wanted to be stress free and we wanted things to be taken care of which she seemed like she would do that for us. However during that year and a half little did we know that nothing would really be getting taken care of . In our meetings with her she would constantly assure us that things were fine however we saw no real result of things being "taken care of" no venues were booked there was no money being put down to any vendor . My wife and I were the ones who were making the phone calls to ask for prices , setting up meetings with vendors we wanted and so much more we were doing . This was the reason we hired a wedding coordinator was to handle these things for us . The meetings after a while seemed to be pointless . We found out no information about our wedding from the meetings we would have with her . She was Also never able to give us an exact quote or even an estimate of how much our decor would be which she was also in charge of. It was extremely hard to get ahold of her . She would take days to respond to texts, phone calls , and emails. Finally when we did get a price from her for her decor ONLY she quoted us $22,000. Which we at the time did not know any better and did not know that her decor prices were extremely over priced . The decor we had picked out was decent it was not top of the line it did not look like it was 22,000 worth . We had to take many many things out of our wedding that we had originally dreamed of having and it was beginning to not feel like the wedding we wanted . We began to question what she had exactly done for us this past year and a half as far as "planning " and taking care of things for us. Our wedding is only 5 months away and she has only made two deposits with the money we had been giving her . We had been giving Victoria thousands to hold for us and distribute our money to the proper vendors and only a few hundred had been distributed . Mind you we are 5 months away from our wedding . As we began to get suspicious of her pricing and intentions for our wedding we decided to look around and get other decor pricing . We found an amazing lady in Sanger Ca who would give us everything we wanted for about $14,000 LESS. How is that possible that she was going to charge us $22,000 for decor not including food, not including her planning services , etc. just $22,000 for decor . Yet we looked around and added everything we originally wanted and dreamed of and found it all for $8,000? It seemed to us that we were buying her decor for her and not renting it . I had also made it crystal clear in the beginning that I did not want a church wedding . And come to find out later that Victoria put a $500 deposit of our money down for a church for our wedding .... I was mind blown. No one ever told her to do that we did NOT GIVE HER PERMISSION TO PUT A deposit down with our money for a church . she clearly was not listening to our needs and wants and doing what she felt was best for us . We did in the end up parting ways with her and got all of the money back we had been giving to her besides the $3500 we owed her she kept that which we also felt was wrong considering she did not do one bit of the planning . We are now 5 months away from our wedding and are now scrambling to do all of the things victoria said she would "take care" of . She really tried to take advantage of us by charging us $14,00 more than what she should have. She is unreliable and unprofessional . She did things with our money we DID NOT approve of . I would recommend you run as far away as possible from her and her company if you want your wedding to be a success . Do not let her fool you . My husband also left a review below with pictures to prove it .

    It was recently brought to my attention that GMofE wrote a response to my review on the Wedding…read moreWire website. We did have an exit meeting with Victoria and Kevin where my mother went over all the details that they missed and described how unhappy we were. I normally would feel confident handling the issues myself, but I was too upset, I felt duped. Victoria thought that everything with the wedding went well, but apologized that we did not feel the same. Yes, my husband and I hugged Victoria and Kevin at the end of the night. Victoria is a "hugger" and hugged us at the conclusion of every meeting. When I first arrived to the church I even told her how thankful I was for her and that I could not have pulled off my wedding without her. But that's when I was under the impression that everything we discussed was going to be taken care of. During the exit meeting, Victoria asked me why I did not tell them on my wedding day about my unhappiness. I told her that I did not want to discuss all the issues during my reception as I was not going to allow all of the things that they missed or that were wrong, ruin my day. GMofE knew we weren't happy because my mom continued to ask Victoria's staff why she wasn't at the reception. When Victoria arrived my mom did discuss immediate concerns with her. I don't understand why they would have video of my husband and me hugging them as I did not have a videographer at my wedding or reception. Seems odd to me that they felt it necessary to need video of us hugging them. There were so many details missed and because the Wedding Wire site limits the number of words in the reviews, I only included those that I felt were more significant. I didn't have space to write about the wild goose chase we went on for an alternate venue because Victoria thought that our 1st choice venue was already booked. She didn't tell us this and we followed her to several potential venues. When Victoria finally disclosed that our 1st choice venue was already booked, I didn't understand how this was possible since I had a signed contract and had already given a deposit. I can only assume that she wasn't aware that WE were the ones that booked the venue on my date because she never got back to me about my questions regarding the venue's contract. I didn't get to include that all several of the corsages and boutonnieres were never given to the people that they were intended for. At the end of the wedding ceremony, they were still lying on the banister at the entrance of the church. In our pictures G'Ma has a corsage, G'Pa has nothing. My aunts who we wanted recognized as being special to our wedding were supposed to have big beautiful orchids ... they received nothing ... must have been left on the banister. My brothers were my honor attendants and I wanted to make sure they ha nice orchid boutonniere's. They received the ones with the small, ordinary looking chrysanthemums ... one of my least favorite flower. I told Victoria that I do not like centerpieces with all the greenery filler, that I like all flowers. My centerpieces were lots of green filler leaves and chrysanthemums. I did tell Victoria that I was starting to like the unique look of spider mums. These were not spider mums. I didn't get to include that we specifically gave Victoria my "guest book" plate so she could make sure it arrived at the ceremony. She didn't bring it to the church, only the reception. The candles down the aisle were not lit after specifically discussing with her the look/feel we wanted for our ceremony and if the church would allow the candles to be lit. I'm sure they don't light the candles so they can charge someone else to rent the same candles. The point is that my mom and I thought of all of the details, but just needed someone to execute them. We had several meetings where were assured by Victoria that the details would be taken care of. Victoria told us over and over "I can see it all in my head." I agree with Betsy J.'s review (in the filtered Yelp reviews) that at the beginning, they promise you everything. They make you feel all warm and fuzzy. You feel good and confident so you give them yours or your family's hard earned money .... $2,000 cash and sign their contract that says that they can fire you, but if you want to fire them you lose your $2,000. You're still feeling warm and fuzzy and think, "They're great! I'm not going to want to fire them." And then after some time passes you begin to notice that things aren't going as you were told that they would. You are afraid that by expressing that you aren't happy with their services they will execute the clause in the contract where they can fire you, and you're going to be out $2,000. If you chose to hire Gofer for your event, I hope that you have a better experience than I did.

The two young men who delivered our order (fulfilled perfectly) were so respectful and kind, it was humbling. I told them where I wanted the tables and chairs, but I was glad that one of them spoke up with a better idea (he knew the path of the sun there). Everything went perfectly, it all felt natural for the guests, and the owner was present during the pickup.

The owner was immediately responsive by text and we worked out the cost and our specific rental request within 15 minutes. She even sent multiple quotes by text as we discussed our planned event. The only minor hiccup was that my text asking when the rented materials would be dropped off went unanswered initially, but when I called the week before our event to ask, the owner 1) answered by using my first name (points for customer service/organization) 2) and reassured us that materials would be dropped off the day before our event. We were informed that the drop off crew would notify us within an hour of coming to our home. The day of drop off came and was getting into the early evening, so I admittedly started to panic a bit and called again to ensure delivery. I was assured our materials would be delivered within the next few hours, which they were. There seemed to be some confusion between the owner and delivery crew since the crew was asking for more money than we were initially told, but after showing the messages I'd received from the owner, the crew deferred to her. I negotiated a pick up time with the delivery crew, who were very flexible and allowed us to keep the materials another day at no extra cost since it was a Sunday. They arrived the expected day and removed the tent and materials quickly, and they were consistently professional and respectful of my home. The materials weren't anything fancy, but they got the job done. Would definitely use again and recommend to those seeking an event rental company for personal/backyard events.

Though all our vendors were great, the added experience of Cindy ensured a positive wedding planning experience. She covered all the minuscule details and our agenda was kept on track! From the girls hair and makeup, to the grooms haircuts, limousine pick ups, church photos, the various photographers involved, and the time schedule for the reception events including our sunset pictures, everything went off flawless! Cindy stayed in contact with us the entire wedding process. She might have drive some vendors crazy, but she knew what she was doing and looked out for us, her clients. Overall, Cindy was very professional and very gay friendly. She didn't make us feel different not once! We are grateful for kind-hearted professionals like Cindy. Her ideas and contacts are amazing! Thank you for making our evening memorable!
