    Outstanding!

    Working with Carolyn was a complete dream. She was my referred to me by my sister. Working with her first at my sisters wedding while I was the maid of honor was my first experience with her. My sisters wedding would not have been as successful throughout the night without her help and guidance with the timeline. I then hired her for my wedding as I needed someone to help with organization, planning, and timeline help. Carolyn exceeded my expectations by not only giving me the best day of and prior planning advice but also helped with smaller things like making signs and email communications with my venue. She helped me with looking through BEO documents and overall was my piece of mind throughout the entire wedding process. She was worth her weight in gold and I would 100% recommend hiring her if you want to make sure your wedding day is perfect and stress free!

    Carolyn is a Star!!

    It was great that we had Carolyn assisting with wedding functions for our son. She was front and center involved in organizing, managing everything for both days, Sangeet Evening and the Day time Sikh Wedding. She was awesome and was always available. Her attention to details and the follow up
    for various task is what makes her stand apart. She was our liason with the vendors and stayed on top. On each day of the function, she was following up with venue team and the vendors and then ofcourse the beautiful set up her team and she managed. We just love her and we look forward to working with her for all our future event needs.

    Booking Fête Events was the best decision ever!

    Hiring Carolyn from Fête Events was honestly the best decision I ever made for my wedding. We had an interfaith Muslim/Hindu Indian wedding and with that, can come with some complexities. She was able to handle day of coordination flawlessly (managing not one but TWO baraats and working with our siblings who weren't used to officiating for an interfaith ceremony) while also providing excellent design details with florals. Carolyn has such a kind, warm personality that can make anyone feel at ease. I also love the small touches like coming over to my hotel room with a bag of goodies to make me feel relaxed on my wedding morning (I was not expecting that at all but it was super nice to see her and her presence def put me at ease). After the wedding, both my sister-in-law and mom mentioned how great and professional Carolyn was at her job. (It's not just coming from me!) If I hadn't hired her, our wedding day would def not have flowed as smoothly and I am eternally grateful for her.

    Fête Events's reply:

    Thank you Sarah, it was the best working with you both and helping you in the process to bring it all to life! Loved working with you 💜

    Best Planner Ever!

    First of all, the owner, Carolyn was so kind and generous with her time, resources, and connections. We were treated like family from our first meeting. She works with amazing partner vendors. Carolyn was always quick to communicate, she helped us integrate all of the elements that were important to us (complete with a hosted coffee bar!). It was clear she wanted us to have the most special day and did everything she could to make that happen. She provided excellent vendor connections, as well, which made the entire planning process seamless. The value we got for the price was incomparable for the high quality of our event. She has clearly poured her heart into making our wedding day beyond special! We are so grateful to have found her. We couldn't have been happier with all Carolyn did for us. My parents still talk about how great she was with them and reminded them of things throughout the evening and made my Grammie feel so special that day too! Thank you, Carolyn! If you need a planner or a day of coordination she is your girl. I will be telling all my friends and clients if they are having a party, an event, or a wedding, they must use her! ❤️ Gigi

    Fête Events's reply:

    Gigi, Thank you for your thoughtful review. It was a pleasure to be a part of your special day! Your wedding and our collaboration on ideas and details were so fun. I love to make a theme and vision come to life more than you can imagine! Your family was so sweet and kind. I loved you Grammie, she was the Best and wants nothing but the best for you and Brain. Congrats and best wishes for a lifetime of happiness! Good luck with your move to TN. - Carolyn Mercado Owner

    Fete Event's Is Awesome!

    Our wedding day was perfect, and a huge part is thanks to Carolyn and her team. We hired Carolyn for 3 months -of coordination, so the first time we got to meet her in person was at our food tasting at the venue. I was starting to feel very stressed about all the last-minute details, but Carolyn asked all the right questions and was super professional, while already had things covered I didn't even think of. She is so sweet and friendly that I immediately felt at ease and safe about our day approaching. On the rehearsal day, she was amazing! She got everyone where they needed to be we ran through it all a few times and bam it was done and she had our rehearsal dinner set up so cute! On the day of, Carolyn brought one assistant. I felt like they were at my beck and call all day as if they were my own personal assistants, which was a service I didn’t expect at all. They were constantly checking in with me, getting things for me, offering me water, and at one point even offering to go get me a snack before the ceremony. I’ve been a bridesmaid in a handful of other weddings and I’ve never been as impressed with a coordinator as I was with Carolyn. My parents also commented on how lovely Carolyn and her team were. At some point after the wedding when we were on our honeymoon, I realized that I had forgotten to pack up our custom name cards & Cake topper that I had made for us, but when I unpacked all of our wedding stuff, I found that Carolyn had packed it for us, along with other items I would have never thought to keep as a memory. Carolyn and her team are seriously the best. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Carolyn to all of our friends and strangers any day. She is worth every penny, trust me. Thank you again, Carolyn and her Fete Events Team!

    Wedding Coordinator

    Carolyn is absolutely the best! Carolyn made our wedding super stress free! She helped us with every detail of our wedding, she provided us with many different options from the vendors to the decor for us to pick from with the next day.

    Stress Free

    Carolyn was awesome! I had all of the control with none of the stress. 
I hired a wedding planner Caroly from Fete Events who took care of everything involved in the actual ceremony and reception, but for pretty much everything else, I was on my own by choice. Because my maid of honor lives in another city and both of us have demanding medical jobs, planning the bachelorette weekend and bridesmaid activities was turning into way too much work. That’s where Carolyn came to our rescue. She set up the polls to get the best dates for everyone, found us Airbnb and hotel options, and made a spreadsheet with prices, amenities, and nearby attractions so we could make informed choices without spending hours doing the drudgework. Then she also helped me plan lodging and bridal party activities for the days around the wedding. Carolyn was even willing to do additional sessions with my maid of honor so I could be sure that everything was planned to my control-freak standards while still getting some surprises from my friends. At each step, I had all the control I wanted with none of the stress that usually comes with it. My husband and bridesmaids were also saved from the stress of dealing with me in planning mode. Carolyn truly saved my wedding & shower along with every detail I planned to come to life just like I wanted. She even did details I never even thought of. She truly was the Best and a mind reader I think! Ha ha just amazing experience brings things to the table you don't think of. Thank you Again Carolyn

    Fête Events's reply:

    Oh Abby thank you! It was a pleasure to help keep your events and wedding stress free! I’m beyond happy how it all came to life and so happy to take all the stress off your plate! It was a blast working with you and your BFF! Cheers to a new chapter and a happy life!

    A life saver

    Carolyn came on board as a day of coordinator about two weeks before my wedding. She was only suppose to just make sure the vendors showed up and get them organized.
    She wound up having to set up all my decor for me and stayed longer than she was suppose to.
    She was such a life saver, she is the sweetest and most caring woman and I am so lucky that I found her and that she was willing to work with me on such short notice! I 100% recommend her

    Fête Events's reply:

    Thank you Bree, it truly was my pleasure. It was so nice to meet you and Kyle. I wish you all the best! I’m happy I was able to help you make your special day come to life. Cheers to many years ahead!

    Awesome Experience

    It’s weird that I ever write a review, but I had to for Carolyn. Weddings can be beyond stressful and to have to deal with covid. But Carolyn put all my worries to rest and had amazing out of the box ideas to make our special day come true. I would ask her a question, if we should do something next and she would already taken care of it or had options and referrals for me to pick from. She always put us first and came up with how to do things with covid restrictions in mind and safety for all. She even planned a beautiful virtual bridal shower in the major shut down and had a basket shipped to each home to be apart of my special day together. We had to push the wedding back due to covid but we’re able to tie the knot this summer. She made our day beautiful, easy, and flawless in every way I could have dreamed of. She has so much passion and kindness. She truly is amazing. If you need someone to plan your day, I would say hire her hands down. Thank you so much

    Fête Events's reply:

    Kristen, Thank you so much for your kind words. It was a pleasure working with you and Brian. Your day was magical! Thank you, for picking me to help make your day memorable forever! Wishing you both everlasting love & happiness.
