the right way!

Crystal and team at Fabulously Created events are 5-star professionals. From the planning process to the big day, you can count on them to think of everything, including the tiny details a bride may forget. Fabulously Created Events executed my vision for my wedding flawlessly and go above and beyond the call of duty.

Crystal and her team were the best decision that we made in the entire wedding planning process. Early on, we made the decision to change the ceremony and reception venues and Crystal made that change for us seamlessly. With her full planning package, we were able to email, call, text, etc. with our concerns and she would talk us through our options, and it made the whole wedding planning process much easier and much less stressful.

Crystal went above and beyond our expectations for helping us plan our wedding. She helped transform the concept of my wedding by coming up with unique ideas that made our day stand out, like hiring a New Orleans-style wedding second line, because our honeymoon was going to be in New Orleans.

I honestly do not know where to begin. Crystal and her team are AMAZING. Since our first meeting I knew Crystal meant business. She breaks the process of wedding planning down with you and is by your side every step of the way.

Crystal and her team were beyond amazing. Throughout the wedding planning process, she calmed our nerves and helped us plan an amazing wedding step by step. The wedding day went absolutely perfectly, as she handled every detail for us, made sure we were taken care of and that everything went smoothly throughout the day. Our guests kept commenting on how amazing her staff was and how wonderfully the whole night was run. She really seemed to care that we were having a great time as well and asked us frequently what she could do to make it even better. I can’t thank Crystal and her team enough for making our special day perfect!

Fabcreatedevents were exactly what we were looking for when we started to plan our wedding. They were super patient with all our questions during the planning process and during the days just prior to our wedding. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better team of professionals to make our day the most amazing day ever. They handled our family and friends with care and made our wedding day seamless. Not to mention it felt like Crystal had known us for years she was quickly able to identify what we would like avoiding us from attending calls/meetings that didn’t align with our vision. 
 
Crystal made our wedding day the best day of our lives! We highly recommend Fabcreatedevents! Stay tuned for our baby shower in the future 👀 which will be planned by none other than Fabcreatedevents.

I work for an event service company, Curated Events, so I have the opportunity to work with a variety of planners. I can not speak highly enough about Crystal Govan! She makes my job easier! She is extremely timely on her responses, the items she puts together always look amazing, and she answers my questions before I can even ask them. If you are looking for a stress-free process of planning you next event, you do not need to look any further!
