We absolutely LOVED working with Teissia and Firefly Events!!!! We have the Firefly Events ladies to thank for the most beautiful, seamless and perfect day in our lives! From the moment we hired Firefly, we felt not one ounce of stress or worry for our wedding day. Who knew wedding planning could be so fun? Teissia is the sweetest, most creative, talented and organized person and it genuinely shows through her amazing events. She was there every single step of the way from the concept and design of the wedding, helping us find amazing vendors, organizing and facilitating all vendor meetings, and providing us with professional guidance in a non-obtrusive and tasteful way. With my husband and I both working full time jobs with a full travel schedule, she made planning SO easy and stress free. Our wedding was absolutely stunning and flawlessly executed and it we owe it all to Teissia's dedication to ensure that we had and ENJOYED the wedding of our dreams. We received overwhelming compliments on not only the design details, but how smooth, elegant and effortless the wedding day was. It was the best decision we could have ever made to hire Firefly Events to plan our wedding and feel so lucky to have worked with them. Teissia we love you! - Brett and Anthony read more

We got engaged, then got married 10 months later. In between those two beautiful moments was nothing but stress-free and fun wedding planning thanks to Teissia and Firefly Events. First, we'd like to say thank you to the other Yelpers who gave Firefly such great reviews, because we actually found Firefly through Yelp! After only one meeting we knew Teissia was the perfect person to help plan and execute our destination wedding in Jamaica. It was confirmed that we had chosen the right person when we got to Jamaica 6 months before our wedding and she had set up a perfectly curated list of vendor meetings from thousands of miles away. Throughout the entire process she was organized, thoughtful, attentive and very flexible. She went above and beyond and we definitely could have done it without her. She dealt with all of the vendors, language barriers, family and logistic issues with grace. Not to mention she was extremely pleasant to be around. We felt like we were planning our wedding with a friend. In short she made the experience of planning our wedding really enjoyable. The day of the actual wedding day went perfect and she completely shielded us from all the craziness that happens on that day so our families and us could completely focus on this celebration of our love. Thank you again Teissia, you are INCREDIBLE. read more

We are beyond grateful for what Teissia and Firefly did for our wedding. We chose to get married in a friend's backyard in a very remote location, so the coordination of vendors and services was daunting. But Teissia handled everything so professionally and so completely, we were able to enjoy the day without worrying about logistics. I should mention that she managed to do all of this with no cell service (up in the mountains) on the day of the wedding. All of the little details were expertly executed--even little things that she could have let slide but didn't. She is committed to her vision. A major glitch happened when our seating chart, which was being written on glass window panes by an outside vendor, got broken during shipping the night before our wedding. We had no seating chart and I was panicking. But Teissia stayed completely calm and came up with an incredible idea, and she ran out last minute to buy eleven picture frames. She then printed (beautifully) each table number on paper and framed them, and hung them up around the barn where we were getting married. It looked AMAZING and she somehow managed to do this with mere hours left before our wedding, in the middle of trying to coordinate everything else. Teissia also coordinated everybody (DJ, bartenders, etc.) staying half an hour later than expected because the party was so so much fun and nobody wanted to leave. And, when a really important family member was an hour and a half late, she managed to keep all the guests blissfully occupied and keep everything moving smoothly. She is a pro at managing family dynamics and was an awesome buffer when difficult situations occurred. Most importantly, Teissia always had a smile on her face and kept me (the bride) calm during moments of nervousness. We always had complete faith that she would make our event beautiful, and we were not disappointed. YOU SHOULD HIRE TEISSIA AND FIREFLY! She is like superwoman and she will make your event INCREDIBLE!!! Thank you Teissia. We will be forever grateful. read more

I found Firefly through a recommendation and after speaking with them and a few other planners via phone, I knew Firefly was the right choice for me. The conversation was so easy, they were very approachable, and best of all, got me so excited about planning. The best way to explain my experience with Firefly is EASY. They made every single part of planning our wedding so easy on me. From researching and booking vendors to the day of timeline was not only headache free, but fun. I had an absolute blast planning our wedding. The entire process was perfectly seamless. There was never a time that Firefly made me feel anxious or nervous and never made me aware of anything negative that might have happened. Communication was always on point, they always kept me on track with contracts and other deliverables that I had to do, and always kept things moving at a really great pace. My favorite part of planning was the design. I remember getting the design boards through email and getting so excited because I knew then that my vision for our wedding was going to be executed. We had a weekend full of events and every single one was perfect. The timeline was so well done and everything was in place so that when we arrived in California (destination wedding), all we had to do was enjoy our events and our guests. The team was always around to answer any questions I had and to let me know that all was being taken care of. Words literally can't describe how happy I was with our wedding weekend. It was absolutely perfect, more than I could have imagined and our guests also loved all of the little details that we had a blast putting together. Six months later and I'm still having major wedding withdrawals! Thank you Firefly for planning our favorite day and weekend so perfectly. read more

My husband and I were married in May of 2014 and to say that our wedding day was perfect is an understatement. It was the most magical event, down to every detail and Teissia and Alia made it happen. Even before I got engaged, I found Firefly and knew that I wanted them to be a part of our wedding. Their aesthetic, understated elegance, and unique style was exactly what we wanted for our wedding and these girls did not disappoint! They were professional, detail oriented, and so on the ball. When people asked me if I was stressed planning my wedding, I tell them "What do I have to stress about?" Because I knew that with Teissia and Alia, I was totally covered. The wedding day was incredible- beautiful, organized, and fun. Every single person who was there, came up to me and said it was the best wedding they had ever been to. The other thing that was so amazing- was that it felt so much like US. It was exactly what we wanted. My parents (who are not easy to impress) were so blown away as well. I can not say enough good things about team Firefly! read more

After searching, meeting, and talking with more than 10 wedding coordinators, and being less than thrilled with all of them, we found Teissia. After meeting with her, it didn't take long (about 10 seconds!) for us to decide to give her the reigns to our wedding...and we are so thankful we did. Teissia far exceeded our expectations leading up to the big day. She was more than happy to meet with us on several occasions to go over the details, to do a walk-thru at the site, and to meet with our caterer. She was always a phone call away, and ready with a knowledgeable answer. She also has a good number of references for those services we had trouble finding...like her recommended hair stylist, Marin...who was truly incredible to work with AND fit within our modest budget! Most importantly, she knew what she was doing when it came to the actual event. We are so blessed to have had her ready and willing to do so many of the little things we forgot like write out our chalkboard menu, handle flower petals in the fountain, hunt down our late lightning people, etc...and often without us even asking her. She was probably responsible for countless other things that we don't even know about. Her experience in running big events shined through most when our bar people wouldn't open up when we needed them on our hot wedding day. We later found out (from our parents) how she put her foot down and told them to open up or she would call their boss to make them (or something along those lines). In any case, it was because of Teissia that they opened up that moment! Plus, when we had a last minute important "surprise" guest that flew in on the day of the wedding (which could have resulted in seating arrangement chaos), all we had to do was talk to Teissia and she handled it like a veteran. She coordinated with the vendors, changed the number of chairs at the different tables, and basically made it all happen. She's a coordinator that knows how to get things done. Teissia combines the friendship, calmness, and knowledge you need during the stress-filled planning and preparation period, and the focus, composure, and feistiness (see bar story above) to make the event happen. We honestly had about as problem-free of a wedding one could imagine, and a lot of that was due to Teissia. Thank you so very, very much! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! read more

Teissia planned my wedding, and it was as flawless as a wedding can get, I think. She found an incredible location, responsive vendors, excellent catering (at a steep discount), and orchestrated all the logistical party stuff in such a way that my wife and I only had one thing to do on our wedding day: enjoy. I can't thank Teissia enough. She helped build the best day of my life. read more

If I could have given firefly events 10 stars I would have. Teissia is and was one of the most organized and professional people I have ever met. Our wedding was amazing and it was all because of her, she was funny, relaxed, and was welling to answer every single question I bombarded her with. Our wedding was perfect and I couldn't have done it without Teissia, and firefly events, thank you soo much for making our day one of the most special days of our whole life! read more

What can I add to this unbroken string of 5-star reviews? Alia and Teissia planned our wedding, and it may have been the best money I've ever spent in my life. Our guests praised our attention to detail, and how personal and "us" the wedding felt. We took credit, obviously, but the truth that I'll only share with you Yelpers is that it was all them. They perfectly understood the aesthetic we wanted and then executed it perfectly. And they brought us in under-budget. Hire these women. You can't go wrong. read more

My wife and I are both creative, shy, and busy. For years, we have sacrificed our free time to take a chance on the startup industry of San Francisco, far from our family and friends. When we became engaged, we knew we wanted more than a wedding. We wanted a chance to thank those who have offered us their love, advice, and support during these tumultuous years. After our first call with Teissia and Alia, we were confident that they understood our unusual ideas and our goals. And our ideas were unusual. The central theme, machinery overrun by nature, had raised some eyebrows, but it was embraced by Teissia and Alia. Their enthusiasm with our vision gave us the confidence to fully pursue our quirky ideas, and their blunt honesty reined us in when we went a bit too far. They put together a dream team of creative and ambitious vendors, each of whom were a perfect mix of quirky and professional. Though we were on opposite ends of the country, it was easy for us to stay on the same page with Teissia and Alia via email and phone calls. Due to scheduling restrictions, we had to cram vendor meetings into four short trips. Despite the hectic schedule, they were endlessly patient and always on top of what was happening. We were so confident with Firefly's progress that halfway through we asked them to plan a small, game-themed, bar hop bachelor/bachelorette party. As luck would have it, on the evening of our party an epic post-Hurricane Sandy blizzard blew in to ruin plans and prevent half of our friends from attending. Rather than succumb to defeat, Teissia and Alia hiked through the snowstorm to make sure the party was still a hit. The guests who could attend still brag about the party to anyone who will listen. When the wedding day itself came, to say it was more than I expected is an understatement. Every phase of the wedding was amazing. Though there was a minor hiccup or two, nothing distracted us from having a wonderful time, appreciating one another, and sharing our love with our family and friends. During the wedding, a relative told my wife, "I feel like I am in your dream!" Teissia and Alia brought us closer to those we love, and that is a debt we can never repay. read more

I had quite a long engagement (1.5 years) and Firefly was one of the few wedding planners who agreed to work with us the entire time. Many planners would only offer a year commitment. I like that the girls are younger and seem to better understand a young bride's vision (or at least "young" by New York City wedding standards ha). My mother and I had a lot of opinions (often differing) and Firefly was able to help manage our differences. The main thing my husband, my mom, and I appreciated was the day of. Everything went perfectly. We felt no stress on our wedding day. I'm sure there were all sorts of minor issues popping up behind the scenes, but we didn't hear about (or more importantly see) any of them. Teissia, Gabby, and their team took care of everything. I couldn't have asked for a better day. We felt like VIPs, which is how you should feel on your wedding day. read more

As the Mother of the Bride, I wanted to make sure my daughter was 100% happy with her event planners, but I also wanted to make sure I was pretty happy! The wedding was taking place in NYC, but I live in Los Angeles, so I really needed reassuring that this could be done long distance. With Teissia and Alia -- no problem whatsoever! Working with the girls was not only easy, but fun. They are very organized, but more importantly they kept us organized , on track, and on time. My daughter and I had a lot of ideas -- some great, some not so great. The Firefly girls knew when to go for it and when to let it go. I think one of the things that I was the most impressed with was their response time to everything that came up. I can't think of a single thing in the 8 months that we worked together that wasn't addressed ASAP. I have heard stories of wedding planners who seem to disappear at times, leaving the client to get frustrated and worried. This never happened with Teissia and Alia. Every little thing I asked them about was answered as if it were of the utmost importance. In fact, they made us feel as if we were their only and most important clients, which I know is how they make all their clients feel. . My daughter's engagement was virtually stress free -- and I know it had a lot to with Firefly. There just wasn't anything to stress about because everything was addressed. As for the actual wedding -- it was spectacular! It was everything we had hoped for and more! Teissia and Alia really understood the "feel" that my daughter was trying to achieve and they nailed it! A bit retro, a bit whimsical, a bit formal, a big party! The dancing didn't stop until the venue closed us down. The guests have now nicknamed the wedding "BWE", which stands for Best Wedding Ever!! And it was!! read more

A wedding is only as good as the people who plan it! Let me start by saying that I know I wasn't always the EASIEST to work with...coming from a design background, I had very high expectations and visions for how I wanted things to look. However, when it comes to designing anything for yourself, it can get really really hard to narrow things down and actually make decisions. I knew I needed to place my faith in a team that would translate and execute my vision, and that's exactly what Firefly did. My husband and I were planning an at home wedding with close to 250 guests...it wasn't an easy event to plan, but Alia was there literally, sending me emails and following up on a daily basis for close to a year. Whether i wanted to deal with her or not, she was ALWAYS a step ahead and took control of everything for me. There may have been only one or two days where I didn't hear from her and that was when she was giving birth to her baby, so she was excused! However, that didn't slow her down one bit... Alia and the entire Firefly team were amazing, and I'm sure everyone thinks their wedding was truly one of the greatest... but this really was....one of the greatest. There were hiccups here and there, which is inevitable when planning such a crazy event, but Alia would NEVER present an obstacle or issue without a solution already in place. I wanted a wedding in Baltimore, with vendors from up and down he east coast, and Alia made it happen. Friends and family have asked when the "reunion" will be...As in the anniversary blowout, aka wedding part 2 which Firefly will without a doubt be a part of. read more

Teissia and Firefly Events are downright wonderful! Teissia is definitely one of the most hard working people in this industry. I am a wedding florist and worked on a beach wedding with Teissia where we had to deal with high winds and tall arrangements, not a great combo. Teissia was so smart, calm, and quick in dealing with any issues that came up with setting up the wedding so that the bride and groom just got to sit back and enjoy a perfect day! I work with coordinators all the time and few are as resourceful and sweet as she is! Book Firefly Events now!! read more

My husband and I hired Alia at Firefly Events to work with us as our day-of coordinator and she was absolutely fantastic. I live in San Francisco, our wedding was in Washington, DC and Alia is based in NY, making for potentially extra complicated logistics and planning, but everything was perfect and I am absolutely sure we wouldn't have had the same experience if Alia had not be there to help us. Prior to the wedding Alia was very helpful via phone and created several Google docs to help us stay on track with the million to-do's we had to get done. The day of the wedding she was like a ninja - magically there every time I needed something and yet never in the way. Her enthusiasm and her laugh is contagious and she is an absolute pleasure to work with. Her assistant Monica who also helped on the day of the wedding was wonderful too - they truly made a great team. I think the best thing about working with Alia was that I completely trusted that she had everything under control, and so on the day of the wedding I didn't worry about any of the small stuff or the logistics and just focused on being present and having a great time. The ladies of Firefly events are amazing and I am so grateful to have had the chance to work with them! read more

Planning a wedding is such a stressful life event, but luckily Teissia is there to save the day!! :) After hearing several horror stories about wedding planners taking over weddings, destroying budgets, etc., I was a little more than nervous about finding someone affordable and helpful. A little type A, I have a hard time trusting someone else pay attention to the details I feel are important. But luckily, I stumbled across Teissia's company via yelp. We hired Teissia for "day of coordination" and were so impressed with her organization skills and availability. I put "day of" in quotations because Teissia was definitely more accessible that just the day of. From day one, Teissia was super accessible via email or phone to help answer silly questions and help guide us through the planning process. She also attended our final wedding venue walk through in addition to our rehearsal. She also coordinate/confirm with all our vendors the week prior to our actual wedding day. She also helped create our day of schedule. The day of our wedding Teissia was already on site when we arrived. Everything, and I mean everything, was taken care of. I really have no idea if there were any big mishaps or last minute emergencies because Teissia and her assistant took care of everything. She was great about checking in with us throughout the day to make sure things were going as we liked/hoped. She also helped troubleshoot on the fly (e.g. when several of our older guests were getting tired, Teissia helped make sure to move our cake cutting up to help some of these guest feel more comfortable leaving early). At the end of the day, Teissia even helped make sure all our belongings and gifts were packed away into our cars. There aren't enough positive things I could say about Teissia and her work. I really don't know what we would've done without her. My new happy husband probably summed it up best at the end of our wedding, "WOW! Teissia saved us!" read more

Alia is so talented, creative, organized, and such a pleasure to work with! We couldn't have done it without her! We enjoyed working with her every step of the way and it was worth every penny!! Hope our other daughter gets married soon so we can plan another wedding with Alia and Firefly Events! We will miss her until then!! Thanks Alia for making our daughter's wedding vision a reality! Alia deserves 6 Stars!! read more

Planning a wedding is stressful. Unfortunately for a lot of brides and grooms, the stress of the day prevents them from enjoying what should be the happiest and most fun day of their lives. If you are considering planning a wedding or event with Firefly, don't hesitate. DO IT! My wife and I worked with Firefly for our September 2016 wedding in Charleston. After we signed the contract, we ended up changing our plans multiple times. In fact, we even changed the country we had originally agreed on. At every step of the process, Teissia and her team were kind, understanding, helpful, and, most importantly, consummate professionals who navigated obstacles with ease and made the planning process exciting for us, not overwhelming. Before talking about the actual wedding, it's worth noting that one of the best parts of working with the ladies of Firefly is that, besides being great at their jobs, they're also wonderful people. My wife and I genuinely consider them friends. We even said at our wedding that if they hadn't been working there, we would have wanted to invite them because we couldn't imagine the day without them. They are cool, funny, smart, and normal (no NYC-style egos or diva behavior). You will spend a lot of time communicating with whichever planner you choose, so it's hard to overstate how important it is to actually like them. Teissia and everyone who works for her is a bona fide superstar in terms of both professionalism and personality. Finally, the wedding. Even with all our faith and confidence in Firefly, we couldn't have imagined how beautiful the day would turn out. They anticipated every potential glitch and our every need, and the process ran seamlessly. We were totally unburdened and able to simply enjoy our day. Even our guests remarked that they felt like whenever they had a desire, a member of the Firefly team had anticipated it and delivered whatever it was. It's unusual to be able to endorse any company without hesitation, but Firefly is special. Teissia puts a premium on kindness, expertise, and professionalism, and her example courses through the veins of everyone at the company. We will be forever grateful for having met them, and we can't wait for them to plan birthday parties for our kids! read more

Firefly Events knows how to throw an incredible wrap party! Teissia had an amazing location, famous dj, and delicious vegan catering taken care of in no time. She was organized, innovative, and excellent when it came to dealing with celebrity clientele. read more

Anyone on the fence about hiring a wedding planner should know that the peace of mind you purchase is priceless. Just do it! And if you want a planner that instills the utmost confidence and joy to the process, search no more. My husband and I were blown away by Firefly Events every step of the way. I can't imagine having a planner more diligent, thorough, and thoughtful as Teissia Treynet. Not only did she exceed our expectations with all of the usual services (her vendor contacts and day-of coordination skills alone were worth it)~ but she gave us the sweetest little surprises~ like champagne and flowers petals in our honeymoon suite, and a frame she got all of our wedding guests to secretly sign! I didn't know I could have such a stress-free wedding. But with Firefly Events (Teissia. in particular), it really did happen. This might be bad to say, but in retrospect, we would have paid double our package price for all the services we got. In fact, I joined Yelp expressly to give her this huge thank you (Thank you, Teissia!) in a measly effort to repay what she brought to our wedding. Trust me, this best-kept secret won't last long, so hire her while you can still afford her. (If you want to see photos from our wedding, look under "Emilie & Rowan" on the Firefly Events website.) read more

My daughter and son-in-law were married on September 6, 2014 in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Teissia led us on an incredible journey from concept all the way to the most spectacular wedding day the couple could have ever wished for. She kept us on track for an entire year, checking in with us at every juncture, giving us a planner listing each detail we needed to have in place each month leading up to the wedding. She took all of their ideas and created a storyboard so they could see how everything would come together. She coordinated with all of our vendors in a very lovely and professional way. Teissia was always willing to guide us and soothe our concerns. For the weekend of the wedding and on the actual day of the wedding, Teissia and her assistant, Gabby were absolutely impeccable in helping craft the rhythm and the sweet feeling of the day. She scheduled hair and makeup for us, ran our rehearsal, decorated the space, kept the florist on track and created and orchestrated a perfect flow for the entire wedding and reception. They worked tirelessly for hours, helping to make the day seamless and perfect. They understood exactly what the couple envisioned and helped bring it all to life. As others have said, we received multiple compliments from our guests saying that "this was the best wedding that they had ever attended". The best thing for the couple and their families was that we could all just relax and be present to enjoy this magnificent day, knowing that Teissia and Gabby had all the details covered! I cannot recommend Firefly events more wholeheartedly. You will feel as blessed as we felt if you have them plan your special event. They're the best!!!!! read more

I hired Teissia almost immediately after getting engaged. I needed someone who didn't look petrified when I told her that I'd be unavailable and out of town 80% of the time, but still wanted to make the decisions. She told us she was flexible, and she definitely was! Teissia understood what I wanted from the beginning. She sent suggestions, narrowed down options, and attended the majority of the vendor meetings, making my life so much easier. And when we got to the actual event, everything went perfectly. I have no idea if there were problems, Teissia handled everything. Even my mother was impressed. I have to say, now that I don't speak with her constantly I definitely miss her. You should hands down hire Firefly Events for your wedding, you won't be disappointed! read more

Disclaimer: I did not actually get the chance to work with Firefly Events, BUT I still give them 5 stars. They came highly recommended to me and I had reached out for a price quote, which at the time worked in my budget. After another discussion with my fiance and parents, however, we decided to lower our budget for a wedding planner, to which I emailed back Firefly Events. Teissia was willing to work with our budget and offered design + month-of-coordination, which I ultimately turned down, as I wanted a full-service planner. Teissia then recommended to me other planners and honestly could not have been more pleasant and helpful. So even though I didn't go with Firefly Events, I can tell how amazing their service must be with how my situation was handled. read more

My husband Cole and I worked with Firefly Events for about 14 months leading up to our September 2015 wedding. From the moment we sat down with Teissia, we knew that we had found *the one* to design and plan our wedding. Not only was it immediately clear that she possessed the "hard skills" we were looking for in a planner (she was organized, communicative, and knowledgeable about local vendors, for example), but she also made it her first priority to truly "get" us -- to understand who we were as individuals, as a couple, and as a family. Both Teissia and her incredible NY-based team (shout out to the amazing Gabby and Eliza!!) worked closely with Cole, my parents, and me, and we all became fast friends. Because of their dedication to us as people, our wedding really reflected our personalities; in fact, that's the biggest compliment we continue to receive about our wedding -- that it was "SO you guys!" We have the Firefly team to thank for creating something so deeply personal. We'd heard horror stories about wedding planning ruining relationships, but with Firefly at the helm, not only did no one kill each other, but we actually had so much fun throughout the process. We are a nitpicky group (and my mom and I are quite Type A), but Firefly handled all of the craziness we threw their way with such grace and kindness. While we must have asked a trillion questions, edited program drafts a thousand times, and took forever to decide our music selection, Firefly was so patient with us and really guided us such that these tasks created no stress. Firefly's fantastic Google spreadsheets kept us all on track and in the know, and we could rest assured that nothing would slip through the cracks. We were in competent hands from start to finish. Firefly is part of the most wonderful community of vendors in New York that we had the privilege of working with. One reason we chose to work with Firefly was their commitment to working with and supporting other small businesses in the industry, and they helped us assemble such an amazing team of vendors that were both so professional and a true joy to work with. When we had an issue with our venue's mandatory caterer only 8 weeks prior to our wedding, Teissia stepped in and expertly renegotiated our contract (without us having to ask!) AND found us another excellent caterer (another fantastic member of this close-knit vendor community) in no time. Firefly's strong relationships with these vendors (and their willingness and excitement to work with a new vendor from out of town that we found through a friend) made our entire wedding planning process -- and the day of -- totally seamless. The wedding day itself was everything we envisioned, and more. The day went so smoothly, and it was unbelievable to see our design and concept come to life before our eyes. None of it would have been possible without the exceptional women at Firefly Events. My only complaint was that I wished that Teissia, Gabby, and Eliza could have partied with us instead of having to work the wedding, haha :) It's safe to say that there were times where, on top of being our designers and planners, the Firefly women served as our on-call therapists, spiritual guides, and best friends. We are so grateful for all that they did to make our wedding a success! We are dreaming up our next party so that we can work with Teissia, Gabby, and Eliza again! We love you all so much. read more

Anyone who needs assistance with planning an event should absolutely call Firefly. You will not be disappointed. I organized a fundraiser to raise money for a local non-profit and didn't realize until half way through the planning that I was in way over my head. That's when I found Firefly Events and the amazing Teissia Treynet. She came in and saved the event from being a complete disaster. She knew exactly what to do and how/when to do it. From space planning to the audio/visual set-up, she took care of it all and remained calm and collected through the whole thing, which is more than I can say for myself. Because of firefly we had an incredibly successful night that enabled us to raise more money than we could have on our own. read more

Hiring Teissia and Alia was by far the best decision we made during the wedding planning process. At our first meeting they promised us a fun, stress-free journey, and that is exactly what we got. These girls had everything we could have wanted in a planner, creativity, insight, super organization skills, and of course, patience! It felt like your good friend, who just happens to be extremely talented and resourceful, was going to take care of everything, so what could there be to worry about? We truly felt their passion for creating the perfect day for us, even when we didn't know what that looked like yet. On the big day, Teissia and Alia were everywhere at once, making sure we never had to "play host." It was so amazing to actually be able to enjoy this beautiful day that we had been anticipating for so long. If you thought you wouldn't have time eat at your wedding, think again! These two made sure I ate a lot :). I can't imagine, nor would I want to, what our wedding day would have looked like without the lovely ladies at Firefly. read more

I picked Firefly Events to plan our wedding last May and it was easily one of the best decisions that I could have made. Teissia and Gabby are tireless hard workers who have an obvious knack for aesthetics, organization, and people skills that make them so well suited for their line of work. They helped make the process of wedding planning truly seamless and were able to work with us to come up with a vision that was both true to personal taste and that worked beautifully with the venue. And not to mention that our wedding day turned out to be absolutely stunning!!! We received an endless stream of compliments from friends and family afterward. My husband and I were extremely pleased with all the vendor recommendations along the way. Teissia and Gabby are also two of the most personable and easy-to-get-along with people you'll meet and they were a true pleasure to work with. Don't hesitate to hire these girls. read more

While we weren't able to use Teissia for full wedding production were were lucky enough to snag her for day of services. She and her assistant were nothing short of awesome! We had a couple of wedding day snags (nothing that had to do with her) and she was right there with a calm and gentle way about her that put me and and my family at ease. I would 110% recommended her to anyone and everyone. She is nothing short of great! Thank you again Firefly Events! read more

As a wedding photographer I can say that Teissia is one of my favorite wedding planners I've ever worked with! She is incredibly helpful, communicative and great at planning a wedding. She truly cares about her work and making the best possible day for her clients. I have enjoyed working with her and am looking forward to a wedding in Jamaica that we will be both working on this summer! read more

Our daughter's October 2012 wedding was beautiful, perfectly organized, and virtually stress-free, thanks to the fabulous professionalism of Teissia at Firefly Events. Even though we only hired her for "on the ground" coordination, Teissia was available throughout the planning process, and our daughter worked with her closely and got feedback from her for everything from the save-the-date cards to guest list management and budget concerns. Teissia had fabulous vendor suggestions that exceeded our expectations in every area and also conformed to our budget for the 150-person guest list. The wedding and reception was at a country ranch and Teissia supervised the load-in of everything, hired extra hands at her expense to help folks get to and from the required shuttles, choreographed every part of the evening and was back at the venue first thing the following morning to make certain everything had been cleaned up perfectly. Every single aspect of the wedding and reception went well, and many folks told us it was the best wedding they had every attended. The bride, groom, bridal party, and parents were all so relaxed and had a wonderfully fun time because it was clear every detail of the evening had been thoughtfully planned. I would very much recommend Teissia for an event of any size. She is kind, responsive, happy, organized, and we felt we saved money with vendors, bar and food items thanks to her recommendations and advice. read more

I recently got married and cannot imagine having planned it all without Alia from Firefly by my side. After months of daily emails, phone calls, and vendor visits together, it actually started to feel like planning a wedding with a friend, and after the big day was over (and the honeymoon tan faded), I honestly went through Firefly-withdrawal! I went into this process not sure that I even wanted/needed a wedding planner, but I quickly learned that planning a wedding can feel like a full-time job at times (and I already had one of those!), and having Alia to lean on and help lead the way through the process was priceless. Her recommendations on vendors was spot on and she totally got my aesthetic, and she was able to juggle everything while somehow making me feel like I was her only client. I was particularly in awe of Alia's endless patience and ability to keep a smile on her face at all times, especially considering that me & my parents can be a tough bunch at times. Overall, Alia, Teissia and the Firefly team are just awesome - they're super sweet gals who genuinely care about what they do, and you can feel that every step of the way. I'm so glad I got to share my wedding experience with them, and you'd be lucky to do the same! read more

Honestly, I have never experienced service like this before. Teissia goes above and beyond what you could ever hope for- my wedding was an absolute DREAM... and that is only because every single little detail was taken care of by this incredible wedding planner. She thought of things that no one else did- making everything go so smoothly the day of the wedding, so that I could relax and actually enjoy my own wedding. I didn't have to worry about anything- Teissia was there. She really is someone who cares- about every aspect of your wedding- and doesn't care how much work it will take her- she will do it with a smile. She never let me settle for less than what I REALLY wanted... and she even surprised my new hubby and I by making sure our wedding night suite was decorated romantically, we couldnt believe it! She really knows what she is doing and is not afraid to step up and take the reigns. Thank GOD for Teissia, because my wedding truly would not have been what it was, if it wasn't for her. I can't say thank you enough, Teiss. You are amazing and I would recommend you to anyone and everyone I know!! read more
