Our initial phone call with Kerry was so impressive - she knew every flower, what would look good together, and drafted a comprehensive proposal quickly. When there was a change to our venue, she quickly offered a number of other options for an initial floral installation and the result was even more beautiful than we could have imagined. Absolutely 10/10 recommend that you use Fabufloras.

We had an incredible experience working with Kerry Fabrizio for our wedding weekend. I knew how…read moreimportant flowers were to setting the romantic ambiance at a wedding, but I had absolutely no ideas about the flowers or arrangements I liked. In our initial meeting, Kerry met with me for an hour and had prepared a specific Pinterest board for me based on super broad feedback about the color of flowers I wanted and the intended vibe of my wedding. She had me "pin" the options on Pinterest that aligned with my vision, and then she explained exactly what styles I seemed to prefer. It was an absolute no-brainer to hire Kerry to do the flowers for our wedding day, and we also ended up asking her to do the flowers for our welcome dinner. Throughout the wedding planning process, Kerry communicated with us clearly, answered our questions thoroughly, and took the time to go to our venue with us for a walkthrough to review our gameplan in detail. She made incredible recommendations, and we had very little "work" to do on our end to feel confident that Kerry (and her amazing assistant Carly Gonzales) had everything covered. For both our welcome dinner and wedding day, everything was executed perfectly! Kerry and Carly were on time and created beautiful floral masterpieces. We can't recommend working with Kerry enough!

She helped me pull together a Star Wars Saga Party in January 2020 and worked with me to get all the details I wanted! She worked with the caterer to put together the Star Wars themed hors d'oeuvres I envisioned together with the Star Wars themed dinner items I wanted and to make her work even more difficult, I wanted all vegetarian/vegan food. She helped me get a tent for the back yard that connected to the house.) she helped me understand all the contracts I had to sign. She helped me with booking a Star Wars band, valet parking and having a Star Wars Tiki Bar with the Bartender wearing a Princess Leia costume. She even worked with the caterers to wear Star Wars costumes. I even wanted a black pot for Yoda's stew, which she worked with the caterer on. She was the one who took what I wanted and worked with the vendors to make it happen. And she coordinated everything.

They don't come any better! Our daughter's wedding was absolutely perfect and the reason is that…read morewe were lucky enough to find Jamie to help us coordinate it all. While the bride and groom live in Philly, both sets of parents are out of town, so this was a destination wedding for us and most of the guests. Thereby we knew we'd need very experienced "boots on the ground" to pull off the caliber of wedding we envisioned. We figured the best place to get verifiable wedding planner recommendations was to ask wedding coordinators at the venues toured: Lauren James Events was the first name suggested by most, and after our initial telephone conversation it was easy to see why. Jamie is delightful; knowledgeable, professional, experienced, well-connected, warm, and easy to talk to. Honestly, she left no stone unturned. Although our wedding was a year and a half out when we hired her, and in the beginning she had clients with more pressing needs than ours, we were always made to feel that we were a priority. Our wedding was on a holiday weekend and Jamie helped us to secure some of the city's most highly sought vendors promptly so we wouldn't be closed out. From the get-go, Jamie worked with us in establishing and organizing our parameters - number of guests, style of reception, and met with the bride and groom to talk about their vision and expectations. She listened so well that her recommendations always were spot on. She created meeting and planning timelines with our vendors, and maintained a meticulous spreadsheet of expenditures. She attended vendor meetings along with us, taking scrupulous notes, and worked with us to negotiate contracts. She advised us well as to where we should be spending money and did not hesitate to steer us away from the things we didn't need. She established wedding blocks at the most central hotels for out of town guests and kept track of the bookings, so we knew who was staying where. She also assisted in planning the other events for the wedding weekend. In the week leading up to the wedding we were talking several times a day to tweak additions, guest cancellations and ensure that everything we expected came to fruition. She produced welcome bags for out of town guests and delivered them to the hotels. She surprised the bride and groom by having their room upgraded to a phenomenal suite. When a few glitches arose that week (as they inevitably will), she resolved them and only afterward told us so we didn't have to stress over details. On the wedding day, Jamie never left our side - arriving in the bridal suite beginning early morning with the bridesmaids, orchestrating our hair and makeup people, the photographer and videographer, lunch delivery for everyone, rode the wedding trolley with the bridal party to the bride and groom's first look and off-site photo sessions, at the venue for formal photos, managed the catering staff and band so that the timing of everything ran smoothly. We actually had to beg her to take a break and eat dinner (I still don't think she ever did: we owe you dinner, Jamie!) . Throughout our entire process, she never once lost her cool and as a result, the bride and groom and their parents were able to relax and completely enjoy our family's special day, stress-free. Weddings are highly emotional occasions, but thanks to Jamie the only emotions we experienced were total elation and tears --of joy. It is truly money well spent, and we cannot thank her enough

When we tell people we were having our wedding reception at Reading Terminal Market, they were…read morealways a little surprised and their next reaction was "that is going to be SO COOL!" And after we had our wedding, our guest did nothing but rave about how fun, unique and perfect the reception was. But just having a reception at RTM is not what I'd recommend it. It was so much more. It was having the incredible variety of foods - we had cheesesteaks, DiNic's roast pork, Chinese food, a salad bar, poutine and corn dogs, grilled cheese from Meltkraft, the list goes on. It was having a historic and unique setting that was transformed into a beautiful evening even with string lights, candles, table clothes, decorations and provided an ambiance it'd be impossible to replicate anywhere else. It was the servers who attended to our guests every need, kept the party going, the room clean and the people happy. It was every little touch that the planning team executed perfectly for us, that all happened without us realizing it, without any reminders or questions. The planning team at All About Events were the true heroes of the night - and in fact, the whole planning process. We met with them about 15 months before our wedding, and Christina, Stevie and Liam made sure that everything was easy, fun and exciting. Christina's emails to us were always clear and thorough, addressing every little question I had asked, and pointing out tiny things I never would have thought of. Stevie's communication with our vendors was so appreciated, including our Mummers and DJ! And every time we met with them, the meetings were exciting, joyful. Their personalities and kindness and caring for us and our events just SHONE. We could not recommend RTM and AAE more. They are a truly wonderful team, and a gem in the Philadelphia wedding scene. I hope that we get to go to another event at the market soon, and we will certainly keep them in mind for our 10th anniversary vow renewal!!!!
