We absolutely LOVED working with Teissia and Firefly Events!!!!…read more 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

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.

Hiring Jaclyn Fisher Events was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding…read more Jaclyn guided us through full-service planning with a level of organization, calm, and genuine care that made the entire experience feel manageable and even fun. She understood our vision quickly, helped us refine it, and brought forward ideas and vendors that were perfect for our style, budget, and priorities. In the months leading up to the wedding, she handled every detail proactively. Nothing ever slipped through the cracks. She kept us on track, communicated clearly, and advocated for us with vendors in a way that made us feel supported and protected throughout the process. When the wedding weekend arrived, her team showed up fully prepared and were an absolute dream to work with. They handled every moving part quietly and efficiently so we could be present with our families. Anytime something needed to be adjusted or solved, they were already on it before we even realized. Our day was beautiful, seamless, and genuinely stress free because of them. I can't imagine planning a wedding without Jaclyn and her team, and I recommend them wholeheartedly to any couple looking for a planner who is thoughtful, experienced, and truly invested in your happiness.

I can't say enough positive things about Jaclyn and her team. They were my life savers not only on…read morethe wedding day but during the 2 months leading up to the big day. I would've been a mess without her and her assistant Gina!! They kept me sane and let me enjoy my day. If anything went wrong at our wedding, I didn't hear about it because they were so quick to solve any issues. I never felt overwhelmed or stressed and was often told how calm of a bride I was, and I attribute that entirely to Jaclyn and her team. At one point during my wedding day I was feeling nauseous and having a hard time eating, they offered to leave the venue and drive to find Pepto if they didn't have any in their emergency kit (which is stocked with anything you can imagine, which saved me from having to buy a ton of pointless items). They knew our venue inside and out and were friends with so many of my vendors. Working with Jaclyn made me feel so at ease about all of my choices. I cant recommend her company enough!

Because I live in Atlanta majority of the planning took place over the phone. Lorraine was simply AMAZING! Christina worked with me due to the fact that I was planning a party all the way from Atlanta. Everything was explained to me in detail. They even assisted in an area where I couldn't make a decision. The night is the event Chris was the Mgr assigned to my party and everyone on that team were beyond helpful and amazing. From the set, drinks, food, and lighting were done to perfection. We had guest arrive super late, and Chris went out his way to see if it was possible for food to be served. Food: Italian Meatballs- Great, Shrimp and Rice: Great, Pasta: Great. I was very pleased with the food. You choose 6 entree's. Dessert: Whoever Baker their cakes Great work! I got nothing but who made this cake? I would highly recommend the Brookside for any parties. They carter to you. Now, they're not cheap, but I am firm believer you pay for what you get. The service provided took care of any additional cost for the services I needed. Again, THANK YOU, Lorraine, Christina, and Chris for making my sister super surprise 40th birthday a night to remember. She is officially 40 & Flawless!

Absolutely could not have pulled this off without Kelly and her team!…read moreWhen my wife and decided to have our wedding in central NJ at the Chapel at Sandy Hook, we didn't fully understand all the work that would go into planning a tented wedding. Early on we connected with Kelly at SociaLife and it may have been the best decision we made in the entire process. Not only was the entire SociaLife team professional and well experienced, they were an absolute joy to work with. They helped us with everything from recommending terrific vendors (band, caterers, tent company) to writing in calligraphy all of our guest's seating arrangement on slight slabs of driftwood (and everything in between). With the wedding being located in central NJ, Kelly's ability to connect us with local vendors ultimately saved us a lot in the process and really helped capture what makes the area so special. My wife and I gave Kelly an idea of how we wanted the wedding to feel, but pretty much gave her free reign on aesthetic. We worked together on budget, letting her know things we were ok spending on, and where we wanted to hold back. How she was able to find the most affordable florist with the most amazing flowers is still shocking to me We were lucky to have them helping us throughout the planning, but where their experience was most impactful was during the actual wedding weekend. Neither my wife nor I could pin point an anxious moment or problem that came up during our big day, and that's absolutely because of the tremendous job SociaLife did. Everyone that was involved in our wedding was blown away by their ability to bring together so many moving parts, yet make it look effortless in the process. For anyone that is planning their wedding, please reach out to SociaLife, as we would have not enjoyed the day as much as we did without their help. Since the wedding, almost every guest has genuinely told us it was the best wedding they've ever been to - which, can be kind of awkward as most of our friends are married - but, is completely true.

Amazing experience with Lily - best bridal look ever!…read more I can't recommend Lily enough! She did my bridal makeup and also styled the groom's hair - and the results were absolutely perfect. My makeup looked flawless in person and in every single photo. She really listened to what I wanted and made me feel like the best version of myself on my wedding day. Natural but elevated - exactly what I dreamed of. And I have to add: she also made the groom look super handsome! His hair was styled perfectly - clean, sharp, and very photogenic. We both felt confident and camera-ready all day. Lily is professional, sweet, and so talented. If you're looking for a makeup artist (and even groom hair styling!), don't hesitate - book her now.

Lily's makeup skills are fine, but I would not recommend her due to repeated issues with…read moreprofessionalism and communication. I originally booked her for my wedding day in advance. While the makeup application itself was good, I did not feel prioritized as the bride. She was working on another client at the same time at the studio, someone taking photos at her studio, which caused delays and ultimately made me late for my own photoshoot. On such an important day, I expected to be the focus, and that was disappointing. She did not communicate in advance that she was double booked on that day. More recently, we confirmed a 3pm appointment for a wedding I was attending. However, a few days before, she called to say she would no longer be available at that time and could only do 12pm, without a clear explanation or apology. It left me scrambling to find an alternative. I dont mind if she needed to cancel, but suddenly she made it seems like I was inconveniencing her schedule. And to me, that was very unprofessional. Pricing and expectations are also not clearly communicated, and frequent mentions of tips felt unprofessional. Overall, while she has talent, reliability, transparency, and respect for a client's time are essential--especially for important events--and that was consistently lacking in my experience. For anyone looking for a more dependable experience, I ended up going with Dream Wedding on 150th, and they were professional, organized, and respectful of my time. And most of all the makeup looked polished and amazing!!! Ask for Sue :) Thanks Lily for canceling on me last minute because I was able to find Sue!!!

She was patient, attentive, and really took the time to understand exactly what I wanted. I never felt rushed, and it was clear she values each client's experience. And she did not overbook, which made everything feel calm and well-organized. Bobo, the owner, was also very transparent about pricing from the beginning, which I really appreciated. There was no pressure or uncomfortable conversations...just straightforward, professional communication. Most importantly, she is very skilled. She enhanced my look in a way that felt natural and polished, and I felt confident the entire night. If you're looking for someone reliable, professional, and talented, I would highly recommend Sue!

She did it! Perfectly! There were some challenges with our particular situation, but Lisa was…read moremagnificent. I could relax and be in the moment and trust that she would make everything OK. We owe her so many thanks. Also, I don't know how she did it, with a fair wind blowing and no amplification, but everyone could hear her, perfectly well, enjoyably. Sooo many guests commented on how impressed they were with Lisa, how she presented, how much they enjoyed the ceremony. One friend even commented thankfully to me on how wonderfully clear her enunciation was. At least a couple of people asked for her information to have, in case ever asked. Also, I heard from a few different guests how Lisa exquisitely elegantly and politely shoo-ed away a recalcitrant park-sitter! This is all from my email directly to Lisa to express my admiration and appreciation. I am in awe and so very grateful. I can't say enough. Thank you.

Lisa Traina is absolutely the most caring, sensitive,personable officiant you could have…read more During 2020 we had not one, but TWO daughters getting married... Dates changed, venues changed, guest lists changed for each, but Lisa was a constant for both. She is calming, she is understanding and to witness her performing two ceremonies two months apart for two very different couples was truly amazing . The ease in which she was able to make each couple feel that they had the best day ever was remarkable. She spends countless hours getting to know " her couples", which makes for the most intimate of ceremonies. She spends the time to learn what makes each relationship special and with humor and sensitivity she effortlessly weaves a beautiful story of their relationship. When I am not playing father of the bride I am a wedding photographer and have been to an endless amount of ceremonies and there is none better than Lisa. She is a gift that stays with your family for a lifetime. With love and affection, we felt truly blessed to have Lisa there to marry both our daughters.

Don't use this decorator at all!…read more Highly unprofessional individual (Karan) and team. They forced a change of plans that the bride originally wanted by texting her constantly ON THE DAY OF THE WEDDING!!! When the bride (my sister) expressed that she would like to be able to make the decision, she was met with argumentative responses saying that they were going to go ahead and move all of the decor inside since it would be raining for sure the next day - keep in mind that at this point it was a 30% chance of rain happening, so this was very premature. Karan was constantly texting her all day trying to force my sister's hand in the decision and because of this, she could not fully enjoy herself the first day of the wedding. He continued to lie about timings that their staff needed to complete set up by and they did not even take down and remove the decor from day 1... the wedding guests helped to take all that down. Ultimately, Karan ended up saying that he would not be coming the next day for decorations at 2AM the night before.... This left my sister without a decorator for her second day with less than 12 hours notice!!! Luckily the DJ from day one came through with a last minute decor vendor (Dharma Events) that was able to take the original design and produce a mandap that was even better than the bride could ever imagine at almost half the cost of the original designs. I would highly recommend going with them instead of having to deal with this unruly and unprofessional vendor.

My wife and I used Glass Slipper Wedding and Events as our Wedding planner. When we originally…read moretalked about this my wife ask me what I thought about hiring a wedding planner and I told her that I was unsure. I thought that we could do a lot of the things that a wedding planner could do and save some money but at the same time we had so many things to worry about it would be less stressful for us at the wedding to have a wedding planner who we could rely on to make sure everything went smoothly. After everything has been said and done, I could not be happier that we decided to get one and that we decided to work with Rachel at Glass slipper. What I found most helpful was being able to check in with someone who actually knew what to expect. Neither of us had been married before so you can read all the books you want, sometimes you just need a little life experience to really guide some of the decisions your need to make and will likely never have to make again. Being able to talk to and email Rachel made this a little easier for us, went things were quoted and if it sounds a reasonable rate or when something went awry we were able to check in with someone who knew what you could do or alternatives. I think inevitably thing will go wrong the day of your wedding. I think things will go wrong in various levels of impact the week leading up to your wedding, from last minute sick relatives, to things that went missing, to things that weren't thought of. There was managing venders and any mishaps regarding them and working with everyone in the venue. This is where I really appreciated hiring Rachel. I felt like she really did everything she could to lessen the impact of those things we had the ability to control and really help us enjoy our day to the fullest without having to worry about the small stuff. I think that in itself was what made it worth it and I am so happy we went with Glass Slipper Wedding and Events.

Highly personable and responsive, she knows where to offer suggestions (whether it was adding an extra flair or NOT cluttering the venue with extra decor) and also how to calm our nerves.

Over the course of about a year, she helped our wedding planning process go so smoothly, it felt almost too easy at times! Her presence was crucial on the big day, from tracking down stray party members to transporting items throughout the venue. Her sense of humor and industry expertise made the entire process fun rather than stressful. I cannot recommend Rachael enough!
