Francesca and her team, Stacey and Sarah, were excellent in planning the details for the day of my wedding. Stacey, Sarah, and Ann were spectacular in executing the plan for the day of the wedding. They arrived promptly, as scheduled, and helped me feel relaxed and comfortable. They are extremely organized and detail-oriented, which is what I needed. They made sure every request I made was granted, especially keeping me on time! I had a very large bridal party, over 20 people, and everyone says they were very helpful and unobtrusive. They made sure the parents on both sides were satisfied, while fulfilling my every need. I enjoyed their presence and was grateful for their services. They are a very professional, diligent, organized, and friendly group of women. I would highly suggest their services with any part of planning or coordinating a wedding or any other major event. My wedding day was an emotional and special day, as I believe most women feel, and Dazzling Affairs made everything run smoothly. I thank Francesca, Stacey, Sarah, and Ann for being a major part of the best day of my life!

Francesca has went above and beyond all my expectations of a wedding planner and day of coordinator. Dazzling Affairs provides excellent service. You are in great hands if you use this company! I can't say enough wonderful things about Francesca and her assistant Sara.

Francesca was instrumental is making our wedding day perfect! We never would have been able to take care of all of the details like she did. On the day of, Francasca and Danielle were there every single step of the way, steaming my dress, helping me get dressed, running rehearsal, sewing junior ushers bottons and fixing my bridemaid's hemline.... in addition, we thought it might rain during my outdoor ceremony and Franesca had cars and a huge umbrella waiting to take me away if it did...(it didnt). later when i got to the outdoor cocktail hour i learned that she made the venue move my outdoor cocktail hour inside when she thought it might rain, and then when she realized it would hold off, she had the re-setup everything outside - all of this was down behind the scenes!! honestly, i dont know how anyone could get married without a planner AND i highly recommend dazzling affairs. my mother was sooooooooo happy with francesca and danielle and wrote them the longest thank you letter.

Francesca and Dazzling Affairs were by far my favorite vendor from my wedding. She was there for us throughout the entire wedding process, not just the day of! Francesca and Diana, as well as the rest of the team, have excellent attention to detail and are the ideal wedding professionals! Francesca and dazzling affairs provided such exquiste services, such as helping us find a Knock-out preformer for the ceremony and reception, amazing beyond BEAUTIFUL invitations that were priced reasonably, all of our reception and ceremony accesories (servers, scrolls, petal cones, unity candle etc).I recommend Dazzling Affairs to everyone. And I plan on gifting their services to my family when their big days come. They are the best! My husband can agree, we love them!!!

Francesca is amazing. A few months after I booked her, my venue lost their lease and I didn't have anywhere to get married it. She called all kinds of different places and set up appointments with them. She was amazing. She was so patient. I was talking to her on the phone almost everyday for at least 2 weeks and then at least once a week for about a month. If she didn't hear from me for a while, she'd call and make sure things were okay. Francesca was amazing as a DOC. I remember my mother asking "what does she do; why do we need her; I still don't get it." Well 5 minutes after Francesca arrived my mother said "this was a good idea." She is very organized and knows what you have to be doing every possible moment of the day. I was behind on hair and makeup and didn't know it and she told one of my bridesmaids to step aside so that I could do my makeup first. She was right about everything. She helped my mom steam my dress and even ironed my fiance's tux shirt. She was running between both rooms making sure I was on time and my fiance was on time. When my flowers arrived to my room, the stems were not completely wrapped the way I requested and she took care of it immediately. I remember thinking, if she weren't here, I would have to go downstairs in my robe and tell the florist what I wanted.So a message to all you brides, you DEFINITELY need a DOC and Francesca will get it done right. I have met other DOCs and they have a lot of beautiful ideas but they're wimpy and I could tell if anything went wrong on the day of, they would not have the guts to tell someone to fix it. Francesca will stop at nothing to get what you want right and she's not a pushover. So I definitely appreciated all of her services.

Francesca at Dazzling Affairs was absolutely wonderful and worth every penny. She was accommodating and knowledgable and her attention to detail and planning skills made my day even more perfect than i could have imagined! I highly recommend her to anyone getting married in the NewYork area.

Francesca and her team were MORE than a dream come true! I didn't worry about a thing, she kept me as ease the entire time! I found out AFTER my wedding that my reception location had a huge electrical fire and the place almost went up in flames HOURS before my reception, and was never the wiser. She took care of everything and never let on that there was an issue. She is a PLEASURE to deal with and really made sure that my husband and I, as well as our bridal party and families enjoyed every moment of the day, and made sure they didn't have to lift a finger. Francesca is now a family tradition at our weddings (one of four girls) and we wouldn't have a wedding without her! In 30 years when we are all sitting around telling our children about all the wonderful moments of our wedding days, Francesca will no doubt be a highlight in our conversations. She is a blessing and makes the wedding day more than you could have every expected. LOVE LOVE LOVE her.

Francesca helped me through out my wedding planning process and I must say that without her I don't know what I would of done! She was always fast in responding to my emails or phone calls, and any question I had she was always there to help me and answer them. She was my day of coordinator and everyone loved her! I'm soooo happy we had her that day because I would of gone crazy if she wasn't. She made sure everything and everyone was under control, and my day couldn't have been more perfect thanks to her! She's absolutely the best!

I was married on 3/28/10 at Glen Island Harbour Club. Out of all the things I did for my wedding (which was alot) having Francesca as a day of coordinator was the best thing i could've done. The day of the wedding she was constantly by my side making sure all things ran smoothly. Francesca and her assistant were always making sure i was picture perfect by fixing my hair when needed and even applying my lipstick. We had some small issues with the dresses and Francesca was on top of it. Her attention to detail and professionalism is superb. Having her put my mind at ease and it was so easy to relax and just enjoy myself instead of having to make sure things were according to plan. It was such a pleasure working with Dazzling Affairs and I will tell every bride that if there is one thing you can do, invest in this because you will be so happy at the end of the day! Sincerely,Izzy

I have no complains, the service was immaculate! Francesa's presence gave me the ability to enjoy my wedding and zero stress. I can only recall one incident when guest were sitting at the parents table and it was resolved instantly. I can honestly say it was a perfect day and we were ahead of schedule as far as pictures and other events which was my main concern. I am more than pleased with the service she provided.

I don't know where to begin to describe how great Francesca is. From the minute we talked on the phone for the first time to the day after the wedding Francesca was there. My daughter's wedding was amazing. I know it would not have been that way without Francesca and Diana. They took an interest not only on the professional level but on a personal one as well. I can not count the times we met just to talk. It didn't matter if it was not directly related to the wedding, she was there to listen and to offer advice. Sometimes I would just call her to ask her to "keep me straight" and she did. As for the planning Francesca was amazing. What ever I wanted done, it was. Every idea I had she took to the next level. My daughters wedding was like a Platinum wedding thanks to her. Her knowdlege and expertise was evident. She knows her business. I know I'm rambling but I wish I could put into words all that I feel towards her and Diana. She took care of everything! The day of the wedding they were amazing. My whole family got to enjoy the wedding. Not for one minute did I have to worry about anything. She was at my house early and stayed with my daughter all day, making sure everything ran smoothly but also taking care of her and the groom, making sure they ate and so on.People are still talking about the wedding and how great it was and how no detail was left behind. What also was amazing, the next day, we found that she had packed everything for us. From the veil, the shoes, the gown, the cake top, everything that we might have not given a second thought she had done. Everytime my daughter said what about... it's here. What an incredible feeling to know everything not only the wedding it self but all the small details were taken care of by Francesca and Diana. Above and beyond anything I could have asked for, hoped for or wanted. Truly a professional, caring, experienced team!If you are reading this review because you are thinking of hiring Dazzling Affairs, don't think twice just do it, it will be the best investment in your wedding you will make!!!!!!!!!

Francesca was a great asset to have during my wedding day. I did not have a worry at all with her there. She took control of everything and made decisions for me so that I would not have to concern myself with trivial matters. She calmed me down when I was getting nervous and even took note of when my husband and I were hungry and needed some time to eat. She was fantastic. I was truly blessed to have her there. Francesca constantly asked what we (my husband and I) needed throughout the day. I would recommend her and her assistant to any bride that is concerned about the flow and timeline of their reception/wedding.

I would highly recommend Dazzling Affairs services. Francesca and her staff were so helpful and professional the day of the wedding, I don't think I could have managed without them. It was the best money I spent on the entire wedding. Sincerely,Michelle Chierichella (mother of the bride)
