Craig,I am very happy to of found you all the way from Texas. When we spoke on the phone, I knew that you and your event planning company would bring my visions to life. You made planning a wedding via email very easy, you were always available, always a delight to speak with and knew exactly what I wanted before I did. Who knew planning a wedding over email was so easy...
The day of our wedding ceremony was absolutely phenomenal! Halifax, Nova Scotia is beautiful and you were able to capture the essence of Halifax on our special day. We enjoyed meeting you and cannot thank you enough for making our day so special.
We love Halifax, and hope to return one day.

Wedding, July 15, 2011
Craig, I wanted to write to you to tell you that you and your staff are absolutely amazing. We didn't know what we wanted exactly for our wedding, just that we
wanted something small. At first, I tried to tackle the planning myself;
after starting to stress out over everything and not being able to
choose anything, my fiance said "let's just get a planner". It didn't
help that we live in Vancouver, and was trying to plan for a wedding in Halifax, however, we were told to check out It's All About You Events. The expertise and knowledge you provided was out of this world and after the first phone call we were sure we
found the right person.
The day of the wedding was amazing! We had been playing with decor and were putting bits and pieces of what
it would be like together based on photos, but did not think our day could look as spectacular as it was, the day of our wedding blew our minds. Everything looked absolutely breath taking. All of our guests had an amazing time, and were
so impressed with everything.
A big thanks to you and everyone involved in the planning!!! We
had a perfect day.- Rene and Peter, Vancouver, BC
Wedding, June 25, 2011
Craig, I cannot thank you enough for how wonderful you were with our wedding coordination. You made everything run so smoothly. You instilled a sense of calm, confidence, and trust which is what every bride (and family) needs on their wedding day, and for that I am truly thankful! You made this process as smooth and stress free as possible from the first meeting and all the way to the wedding day, and I couldn't have been happier with end results. Again, thank you so much for all your help over the past nine months. Our wedding would not have been the dream it was without your expert advise. You truly made our day stress free! - Rena and Richie, Dartmouth, NS
Wedding, May 28, 2011
There
are no words that adequately describe how pleased we are with
the magic you worked for our wedding. Your attention to detail, your
enthusiasm and passion, and your sense of style all contributed to an
amazing end result. We could not imagine getting through the day without
you. I wish and hope that you enjoy great success in the future. You
deserve it. - Janet and David, Halifax, NS
80th Birthday Party, March 26, 2011
I wanted to thank you for planning such a great evening. The decor was beautiful, the catering was delicious and the cake you had designed was amazing! You and your staff did a great job! I cannot believe that I did not know that my family was planning this party. Having an event planner put it together, I was none the wiser! I would definitely use your event planning company again! - Shirley, Liverpool, NS
Singles Valentine's Day Soiree, February 14, 2011
Hi Craig, I am glad that you had an event for singles. Usually my friends and I just sit around the house, or I just boycott Valentine's Day all together. My friends and I were free to attend your event and I am glad I did, as we were leaving the event, a guy by the name of Chris started chatting to me, we went on a few dates and today we are a happy couple. Perhaps your invite was right, this might have been the last event I would attend single! Thanks again! - Beth and Chris, Truro NSNew Years Eve Celebration, December 31, 2010
I wanted to write to tell you that my husband and I had a terrific time at your NYE Celebration. We loved the atmosphere, the winter iced theme was terrific. The auction was a great idea. We hope that you do this type of event again next year. My husband and I don't get the opportunity to go out a lot so we really looked forward to this event. You did not disappoint!
Thank you for helping us ring in 2011 in style! - Christine and Corey, Halifax NS

I just had to tell you that you and your event planning staff did a great job at decorating Grafton Lounge. I had such a great time. Thanks for hosting this event! Too bad I did not win any of the prizes...haha 'Had a great time! -Thanks again! Michael, Bedford NS
Wedding, September 4, 2010
Craig,
Ted & I first spoke of hiring a wedding planner after only a few months of
being engaged, I realized I was quite the perfectionist... I knew what I wanted
but I was not sure how to execute it. I began finding it difficult to have an
elegant and unique wedding, because I was overwhelmed with the amount of details
and work necessary to carry it out far. Hiring It's All About You Events was
the best decision we ever made!
From the
very first contact, I knew that It's All About You Events was the wedding
planning company that understood me the most. I could not tell you how much it
meant to me that you and your staff took the time to speak to me without
limits. I just felt so comfortable speaking with you guys because of
the empathy, the experience you have, how you spoke with love about what you do,
and just so much care for your clients.
We were
specifically grateful that you were able to assist in picking a venue as
there were some family members were in wheelchairs. We wanted to ensure that
our family was also having a wonderful time at our wedding and all the details
were covered. We appreciate the compassionate and helpfulness you have shown to
our family members, no requests were too big or too small to take care of... We
also appreciate that you always took care of each detail with class and
smiles.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts,
you and your staff are truly experts in your field! - Ted and Megan, Winnipeg BC
Sex and the City - A Pink Carpet Affair, May 28, 2010
Congratulations to Craig and
It's All About You Events for hosting an absolutely fantastic evening.
The Sex and the City - A Pink Carpet Affair was not only a tremendously
enjoyable evening from start-to-finish, but it was professionally executed and
well organized. It provided a great girls night out, but for me, it was
also a great opportunity to meet some wonderful new people and do some
networking all in a relaxed fun environment. I would not hesitate to use
It's All About You Events for any occasion - big or small, casual or formal, personal
or corporate. - Liza, Halifax NS

Sex and the City - A Pink Carpet Affair, May 28, 2010
Craig, you and It’s All About You Events define professionalism. There was not a single detail overlooked. The Sex and the City, A Pink Carpet Affair was executed flawlessly and all of the lady guests were truly impressed. I can't thank you enough for a fabulous job! - Kelly, Halifax NS
Wedding, September 26, 2009
Craig,
Thank you so much for everything you did for our wedding. The entire day was perfect and I never had to worry about anything! The decorations looked fantastic, many of our guests complimented us on how nice it all looked.
You were super helpful and it would not have gone as well as it did without your help and pre-wedding advice such as the vendors, party ideas and so much more.
I hope your day was not too stressful, Jake and I absolutely loved the day, you did a great job!
You made our special day come true, thank you! - Jake and Stacey, Halifax NS

Wedding, August 1, 2009
Craig,
I can't believe that the time has passed so quickly, most often people only take the time to complain, however, I am thinking the opposite. I want to take the time to write a letter complimenting you.
Both John Michael and I want to thank you for all of your hard work before, on and during our wedding.
When it came down to asking someone to help organize and plan our wedding, there was really no thinking about who we would ask. You automatically came to mind.
We knew that with having you as our wedding planner things would get done! You showed such great passion for the small little details (e.g. like matching your shirt and tie to our color scheme), that really made our day more memorable.
It is that kind of attention to small details that really makes you stand out as a wedding planner. Your attention to detail has made our wedding day everything we were looking for and more. You really are truly what most women look for on their wedding day.
You were so attentive to our needs and knew our taste so well that you did not need to be guided in anyway. We trusted you 100%.
You have such a wonderful way with people that even when things would get a bit hairy (like when the best man's tie was no where to be found) you were there to handle the situation with poise while getting a replacement within minutes.
We both wanted to tell you just how much of a truly integral part of our special day you really were. It just wouldn't have been the same without you.
Because of you, my mother, John Michael’s parents and all of our guests had the most remarkable evening - a memory that will stay with us for a long time to come.
Thank you for all of your dedication, hard work and love. - Semira and John Michael, Dartmouth NS

Baby Shower, August 2, 2009
Craig,
Thanks for such a lovely baby-shower!
The decorations, the games, and your sense of humour, made the day go so well. I have had a number of people tell me how much fun they had! You took the hassle out of planning and maintaining our baby-shower, therefore I had more time to spend with our guests.
I know it is not typical to have a baby-shower after your baby is born, but we wanted to wait until we came home from Alberta to have our baby-shower with all of our family and friends.
Everyone has commented on the fact that you made this event very memorable!
Thank you so much for everything! - Jill and Randall, Calmar, AB
