Their problem-solving skills and responsiveness were invaluable in making our special day run smoothly.

    Stephanie and the team at Astonishing Events were an absolute dream to work with for our “Night Before” party. She was clear and quick to respond throughout the entire planning process, taking all the pressure off of me to ensure everything was in place and moving smoothly. Stephanie's input resulted in a beautiful design and flow to our special day, seamlessly coordinating food delivery, music, and more. I wasn't going to hire an event planner for the "night before" but I'm so glad I did - it was the best decision and best money spent! Stephanie and her team's professionalism and expertise made our sunset party (which was just as big as the next day wedding) perfect from start to finish.

  • Amazing Wedding all thanks to Astonishing Events!
