For our wedding in Summer 2018, we were lucky to have Oana's attention to detail, guidance and assistance, not only before the event, but especially the day of. Oana met with me beforehand to learn and capture my vision for the day. I had my own plan, timeline and steps in place but wanted to be completely hands off the day of our backyard wedding. Because we had our event in a home, there were several crews working on their own portions: two different food deliveries (one cooking on site and the other dropping off), cleaning crew, DJ, and a wait staff, all of which were not associated with one another and had specific jobs for the day. Oana was an excellent point person to make sure every part was working seamlessly. Oana has a lively, caring personality and also is able to juggle managing and directing to make sure that the systems are running effectively. We, as bride and groom, were able to actually enjoy our event and entrust that Oana would be able to problem solve and improvise as needed to ensure the success of the event. I definitely recommend Oana to plan, organize, and execute a flawless event from start to finish.

Oana was the event planner for a recent charity benefit where I was the auctioneer. She delivered a beautiful, well executed Gala that elevated the event over the previous years. Her attention to detail and responsiveness made her a pleasure to work with. Oana's efforts were largely responsible for the guests really enjoying the evening and setting up the Auction and Paddle Raise to generate record fundraising revenue.

Oana took on a big event for me with very short notice. She jumped into every detail, came up with great recommendations, and personally validated and ensured everything would work perfectly. She also helped us stay within our budget (without making it feel that way). Our event included many international guests and everybody was very complimentary of the food, activities, and design work completed by Oana. She was easy to work with, a great communicator, and very responsive. I really enjoyed working with her and highly recommend her for any event you may be planning. I see her as very skilled, dedicated, caring, and personal.

Impactful event management.........a pleasure to have Oana manage a corporate team building event with participants from across our global division. The event was superbly designed and very creative. During the event inhibitions disappeared and new relationships were forged across the full range of national and managerial backgrounds. Oana was spot on with her planning and concept development. Her experience, creativity and energy were key in setting the correct balance and tone. I would have no hesitation in recommending Oana, just hand her the keys to your event and enjoy the output.

In 2018 we had the pleasure of working with Oana as our Wedding Planner. I cannot express enough how grateful my spouse and I are for her exceptional services. Oana made the entire process smooth, stress-free, and enjoyable. Throughout the planning process, communication with her was prompt and efficient. She is great at sticking to the budget and at vendor selection process. Bottom line, she is full of energy, kind and genuine passioned about her work. We strongly recommend her!
