Events by May Reviews:

“As a bride that decided to plan her wedding while not even in the country, I could not have asked for a better wedding planner.
I can honestly say I did not have to lift a finger, Rianie did everything, from calling to get quotes to making all the necessary bookings and arrangements, she did it all. I am one of very few brides that can say “I just showed up at my own wedding & it was perfect” Highly recommend her services.” – Lucia

“Rianie was the best partner to have during my wedding planning. She stayed within my budget while accommodating all my requests. She had excellent communication, even though we had a 7 hour difference between us. And when the wind almost ruined my outdoor reception she turned the indoor venue into my dream garden wedding. I would definitely recommend Events by May for any event.” – Sanchia

“We can’t say enough about Events by May! Rianie was absolutely fantastic, her décor and lighting transformed our venue into something straight out of a fairytale, and every detail looked phenomenal. She was incredibly responsive and supportive throughout the entire planning process, always making us feel confident that our wedding would be perfect. If you’re looking for someone who’ll go above and beyond to create an unforgettable celebration, we highly recommend Rianie and Events by May!” – Marc & Gabi
