Absolutely the best coordinator!! I hired Raquel about 6 weeks before my wedding as I wanted to…read moreensure that everything was covered leading up to and on my wedding day. My first meeting with Raquel was great. She is very personable, knowledgeable about the business, and I knew I could trust her in ensuring me and my husband's special day went without any problems. Raquel made sure she was prepared by reading through all contracts to make sure nothing was missed and preparing the day of timeline. She made sure that our vision came true the night of our wedding. There were so many moving parts, Raquel did an amazing job to ensure that everyone was sticking to schedule. Raquel also coordinated with all of my vendors. That was the main reason why I hired Raquel, to make sure that the day of the wedding, the vendors were all knew their part, were to go, vendors showing up on time, how each of them effected one another's services and how everyone would come together as a team to make it one unforgettable night. Raquel was able to do just that so that me and my husband did not have to worry about anything but enjoying our day. Raquel went above and beyond, and even helped me find the bustle on my dress which was such a struggle for the both of us! She was always right there if my husband or I needed anything, even making sure that we ate. Raquel also attending our rehearsal the night before the wedding and did such a great job with leading and directing my bridal party with where to walk, and the pace, while playing the songs we had chosen for the ceremony. Raquel's fees are very reasonable and fair with the outstanding level of service she provides. If I were to host another large event, I will definitely consider hiring her again! Do not hesitate to reach out to her, you will not be disappointed!!

Reaching out to the team and discussing the proposal for my own baby shower/small wedding was a very smooth process and they were accommodating and professional every step of the way. Our event was seamless! I highly recommend their work. The beautiful decoration was enhanced by neatly made succulent favors, a wooden sign to welcome my guests, and classic and sofisticaste details on the dessert table. They also provided the party's cake and brigadeiros (tradicional Brazilian treats), and a guestbook and polaroid display. Monia and Cynthia are extremely kind and responded to our questions super quick! It was as a hit and we couldn't be happier!! Thank you so much - Agatha, Enzo & Vincenzo

When searching for an event/party planner, it is imperative that the person is reliable, creative,…read morepersonable, can collaborate with client, and exceeds expectations. The Decor Stop (Mala, owner) exudes all these traits and more! Our chosen place to host our event was Dave & Buster's in the Palisades Mall (look for their favorable review). The search started when my wife contacted several companies for our wedding shower (The Decor Stop was #5 on list). Mala was the first (the other 4 didn't bother responding) to return our call and right away, we knew we were dealing with a professional. Mala took the time to know exactly what we wanted so she can create an unforgettable event. She was engaging and pleasant to speak with. She even called throughout the planning process to check how we were doing overall and offering any other help we might need. Discussions over phone, emails, texts, pics, videos were all part of the planning. Even with all that info, Mala needed to physically see the space so she would have a better feeling for what she could offer and boy did she deliver! The place was absolutely stunning! My wife has a talent for decoration and planning but even she was so blown away. Mala and her team worked with Tracey seamlessly, implementing her creative touches. Mala takes pride in her work and it shows from the initial discussion to the final goodbyes. We felt more like good friends than clients. We highly recommended The Decor Stop for your special events. The attention to detail, supreme communication, pride in her work, collaboration, top professionalism and a million dollar smile is what sets her company apart. Give her a call. You will not be disappointed!

Michelle & her crew are amazing and she has "in" everywhere. I met with a few event planners before…read moresitting with Michelle and just right away as we walked away we knew she was the one. She is professional, funny and makes you feel like everything you say is important. She gave really good suggestions and anytime we needed assistance getting a contact or appointment, it was just done. Everyone knows her, she has tons of experience, she has a great disposition and is highly organized. She is literally the best, and then on our wedding day, everything went so smooth. Her crew was so nice, I never saw them until the very end, they were like secret ninjas. And best of all, she held our cake topper for a year (yes this review is a bit old)....A YEAR, didn't hound us to come get it, it just sat in their very nice and large freezer. She is the best, if I had another event to plan I wouldn't even think about it I would just go to her again. Side note: she has adorable dogs and pink monkey cookies for you to eat.

When I got engaged last July, the first thing I did was start looking for wedding planners. I…read moreactually work in the wedding industry so I knew that working with me wasn't going to be easy. On one hand, after being surrounded by brides/weddings for the past 7 years, I was almost "weddinged-out" and wanted to basically hand my wedding planning over to someone else to deal with. On the other hand, I knew that the kind of wedding I wanted wasn't going to be easy to plan and that I had some fairly specific ideas about what I wanted. I made a few appointments with established wedding planners I had worked with in the past and for good measure, googled and read reviews to make appointments with a few newcomers. After an exhausting day of being interviewed about my wedding and receiving totally extravagant and ridiculous quotes, I met Michelle. Walking into her townhouse/office was so calming and I immediately felt better. She had comfy couches and an array of snacks and drinks out on the table (which seems like a small thing but after meetings with planners who just sat me down at a desk in their office and were on their laptop the whole time, it was nice to feel like someone prepared for me). There was a slideshow of ideas going on the big screen on the wall that had been prepared just for our wedding based on what I told her when we talked on the phone the day before. We chatted for about an hour. She was incredibly friendly and warm and I felt like she would be on top of the details without being pushy. As compared to some other planners who charge a percentage of what you are spending on your wedding AND limit you as to the amount of e-mails etc, you can send them, Michelle was a breath of fresh air. Her package was basically all-inclusive and was a flat rate, not based on how much we were spending. I signed up the next day. During the planning process, Michelle and her team were amazing. Not annoying, not pushy, very laid back and took care of a lot of details behind the scenes without me having to deal with them. I could not have asked for a more fun planning process and I was able to enjoy every minute without being bogged down by details. Michelle screened every vendor and presented us with the top choices in every category that fit into our budget and style. She made all the appointments and dealt with all the contracts and negotiations. She was so good a picking vendors that I booked the first vendor in every category without needing to see more. On the day of our wedding, Michelle was truly a gift. I knew (from talking to people afterwards) that there were things Michelle dealt with and catastrophies she was able to avoid without me knowing anything. I partied, ate, and enjoyed my day without having to deal with ANYTHING. She basically ran the entire day. My fiance and I agree she was worth every penny and so much more. She seemed to be everywhere at once - managing the flow of the day, dealing with guest questions, wrangling vendors and setting up photo shots. One second she's cueing the 2nd course and the next minute she's on the floor buckling someone's shoe before a picture - no joke. One of my bridesmaids complained off-handidly about her feet hurting and Michelle produced a pair of silver flats she had a bunch of just in case. We had a perfect wedding day and enjoyed every bit of it and 100% of the credit goes to her.

I got married in October and hired Khadeja due to a friend's recommendation. At first, she was very…read morepolite and kind. After we booked her, however, things went radio silent. She had "other brides" she was tending to, and I understood. However, when my time did come, she dropped the ball on the following tasks: -communicating with my bridal/groom party in a timely and professional fashion -arranging the table numbers (many complaints from guests) -transporting my wedding portrait to the venue without hassling me -family pictures with bride & groom at reception -communicating with respect to stressed out family members (M.O.B & cousins) *and most importantly, failing to hire a back up assistant so she wasn't overwhelmed. Her assistant cancelled last minute, understandable. But this is where professionalism plays a big part. As a person who is not in the industry, even I know it is common sense to have someone on standby for such hiccups. She was accommodating to me when it came to my nerves, however that not the only thing I needed accommodations for. A little tip, a client never wants to see her Coordinator feeling bombarded or flustered. This experience was not worth our money.

I'm not even sure where to start with my review. I was in a very desperate situation that turned…read moreout to be a blessing in disguise. I was married on 10/7/2023 and Details Made Simple (Carla) made sure it was the most beautiful, and least anxiety provoking day. I had previously booked a Day Of Coordinator in March 2023. This DOC promised me the world and more for my October 2023 wedding. We'll fast forward to August 2023 meeting with my venue, I was alone and freaking out. My DOC (not Carla) bailed on me for the venue meet, and made me feel like I was panicking for no reason with a timeline that will be formulated week before wedding. (Again not Carla) Thanks to my maid of honor coming through with an amazing recommendation, I was given Carlas's number after feeling defeated and upset with my previous DOC not supporting me or showing up for me when necessary. After 2 hour conversation with myself and my mom, I immediately felt at ease with Carla. My concerns were validated as "No way should a timeline be started 1 week before event". With many tears had during our initial conversation, that night I slept the best I had in all my wedding planning with Carla coming to my rescue and the rest is history. Details Made Simple is just that, Details Made Simple. From hiring (DMS) that August evening to my wedding on October 7, 2023, I was in The best hands Possible!!! We had a few phone calls in the weeks leading up to the wedding, and the month leading up to the wedding, myself and Carla were in contact regularly. She never hesitated to answer and email, a text or a phone call. I received updated timelines in my email on the regular, she contacted any vendors with whatever tasks were still not done, to her absolutely loving on my 3 year old niece on my wedding day, Carla was like having an extremely organized "family"member take charge and make sure myself, my husband and my bridal party had nothing to worry about on the wedding day. I can not speak highly enough about DMS services, professionalism and overall delivery of event planning. Carla, I am forever grateful to you! P.S. Carla was not available for my rehearsal at the church, but we had her team member Shadé. Also AMAZING. We were not an easy group and she got EVERYONE in place and running our ceremony as it was supposed to be. Thank you Shadé for being there for us!
