So I will he honest...I truly thought I was going to be able to coordinate our wedding myself and not spend the extra money. Well, let's just say as it got closer I decided I needed a coordinator and Angela was the perfect fit for us. There is NO WAY I could have done it on my own. She made sure everything was in order, took all the stress off of us, incredible attention to detail, and her communication through the whole process was amazing. She even did a little DJ'ing and made it fun and personalized some of her announcements for us. Fuse Events went over and beyond for our wedding and we are truly grateful for such an incredible team!!! ❤️ - Crys
"Amazing Experience! Where to start about Angela?! She was a dream. Her personality and presence was so calming and collected; she is a true pro. Weddings can have some chaotic elements, but Angela handled them so well. We had some unexpected weather and she had solutions ready and consulted with me, very gently! We didn't end up needed to move anything due to the rain, but she was totally prepared. I really appreciated her attention to detail involving the timeline of the day, it went so smoothly and if anything didn't go as planned, you wouldn't have even known it! We really loved having Angela there. My only regret was not hiring her for more than just the day-of; she is worth it 100%! Thank you, Angela, for being so lovely, organized, fun and a total pro." - Lisa
Angela is absolutely amazing! She is so professional and completely on top of every detail. I’m a type-A personality and always super focused on the details and it was so wonderful to be able to have Angela take control of the wedding day schedule - my husband and I got to actually enjoy our wedding together! I only selected for Angela to coordinate the day-of and be the DJ for the reception - but in hindsight, I wish I would booked a more inclusive planning package since she did such a fabulous job on the wedding day, I can only imagine how much less stressed I would have been the month of the wedding if I would have had her helping me with the planning too! Regardless, she is so kind, wonderful, professional and able to make quick decisions to keep things running smoothly without anyone noticing a minor detail didn’t go as planned. I highly recommend Angela and Fuse Events! Thank you Angela for making our wedding such a memorable celebration! - Blake
"Great Day of Coordinator! Angela was fantastic. We hired her for Day of Coordinator. She was on top of everything and made sure the day went by seamlessly. We went back and forth wondering if we really needed a coordinator and we are so happy we decided to get one and that we chose her." - Cole
"Absolutely Amazing! Angela is absolutely amazing!! She is professional and tells you everything she does, even though she goes above and beyond, come the day of. I was so relaxed the day of the wedding because I knew she would take care of everything. Even if you don't feel like you need a coordinator, you should reconsider and hire Angela!" - Katie
"FUSE events is an absolute pleasure to work with. As an event planner by trade, I wanted someone who had strong communication, knew the task at hand and would be diplomatic in handling anything that came up for our day-of services. Angela exceeded our expectations every step of the way. From our first conversation, she was attentive, detail oriented and helped make suggestions for our planning efforts (as we are from out of state.) Although we had contracted her for day-of services, she went above and beyond! She followed up with us, as well as our vendors, regularly to ensure things were moving along as planned and was flexible when things needed to change (due to COVID.) When our rehearsal venue and style teams canceled, she assisted in connecting us with other area vendors and ensured everything was taken care of. She has connections throughout the Deschutes County (which was extremely helpful for out of town guests and planning!
The day of, she worked to keep our guests comfortable and everything on track during an unseasonable heatwave that elevated temperatures over 100 degrees! She was in constant communication with our wedding party to time our arrival, return after pictures, and moving up the grand entrance (to move guests indoors quickly and out of the heat.) I absolutely recommend FUSE Events for all event needs, not just weddings!" - Tonya
"Could not have asked for more. Hiring Angela was the best decision I made in planning our wedding. We envisioned an 80-100 person ceremony in a serene outdoor setting, both grand and remote. I started planning 10 months out, and at first it seemed easy to hire vendors and follow checklists through WeddingWire. In the months that followed, Covid happened and we decided to postpone a few months. Angela helped me in rescheduling everyone to a new date. THEN, 6 days before our outdoor wedding, a major forest fire began burning miles from the venue, and our area was under evacuation alerts. Angela could not have set my mind at ease more than the moment she let me know she’d been calling around and had backup venues ready in case we had to move the ceremony with less than 48 hours notice. She kept my stress to a minimum by handling all the vendor communication and letting me focus on the day. On our actual day, she was amazing. She was calm and had a soothing presence. She was flawless in keeping everything moving right in schedule in an unobtrusive way. And she clearly cared. We got to know her. We had a lovely time hanging out with her after the day was over, just debriefing. I can not recommend her highly enough. Despite enormous challenges, she made our day just what we had dreamed of. We are still smiling." - Amy
"Angela is a very professional wedding coordinator. I hired her for day-of services and my wedding went by so smoothly, my anxiety was slim to none on the day of and I felt so comfortable putting responsibility in her hands, she is very thorough and I loved her template she created for the timeline and vendor list. It really helped me get organized on my own with little help. She is so sweet and wants the best for you! Do yourself a favor and hire her!" - Nicole
"So happy we hired Angela from Fuse Events We hired Angela for our Day of Coordinator on our wedding day. We are so happy we did! She took care of everything we needed on the day of wedding. From the rehearsal walk through to the end of the wedding evening, Angela handled everything and made us feel confident everything would be perfect (which it was!) We also didn’t want to spend a fortune on hiring a DJ and lucky for us she used to be a DJ and rented out her equipment to us and had someone DJ our reception. She was very professional and efficient but most importantly friendly!" - Elle
"Angela was an absolute pleasure to work with and truly helped make our wedding day special. From day one she brought calm, clarity, and direction to what can easily be an overwhelming process. She connected us with amazing vendors she’s partnered with many times before, and it showed — everyone was coordinated, professional, and the entire event ran smoothly because of those relationships. Her planning process was organized, transparent, and easy to follow. We loved using the shared Google Sheets, and she met with us both in person and over video to keep every detail on track. She was also incredibly responsive via text whenever questions or concerns came up, which gave us so much peace of mind. On the wedding day, she handled every detail flawlessly. We were able to be fully present and enjoy the day without stress or scrambling because she had everything under control. When my wife broke a nail the night before, Angela even went out to grab supplies to help fix it — a perfect example of how she consistently goes above and beyond. Our vendors enjoyed working with her, and our families kept commenting on how seamless the day felt thanks to her. If you want a planner who’s organized, warm, proactive, and genuinely invested in making your day perfect, Angela is the one. We couldn’t recommend her more."- posted 11/22/2025 by Jameson (Groom)
Frequently Asked Questions
What is my favorite part of the planning process?
My favorite part is watching all the individual pieces come together into a seamless guest experience. I love the creative collaboration during design, but what truly excites me is the logistics behind the scenes that allow the client and their families to be fully present and enjoy the day without stress.
How many other weddings and events do I plan around the same time as another?
I intentionally limit the number of events I take on to ensure each client receives my full attention. I only book a select number of events per month and never double-book full-service occasions on the same weekend.
In my opinion, what sets myself apart from other planners?
My approach blends design, logistics, hospitality and guest experience equally. I’m highly experienced and proactive behind the scenes while creating events that feel warm, personal, and effortless. Clients often tell me they feel completely taken care of because I anticipate needs before they arise and love my genuine hospitality. With 18+ years under my belt with knowledge and professional event industry relationships it comes in handy when or if an emergency or plan b needs to be put into action.
Am I an open book with vendor invoices & quotes?
Absolutely. I operate with full transparency. You receive vendor quotes and invoices directly, and there are no hidden markups. My planning fee is separate from vendor costs.
Based on my planning style, what roles fall under my services vs. the client’s responsibility?
My responsibilities: vendor sourcing, design, logistics, timelines, communication, contract review, layout, guest experience planning, rehearsal coordination, and full wedding day management.
Client’s responsibilities: personal decisions (attire, guest list, vows), timely feedback/approvals, and making vendor payments.
Do I allow clients to use vendors outside of your preferred list?
Do I allow clients to use vendors outside of your preferred list? Yes. While I provide trusted recommendations, you are welcome to use any vendor you love. I simply step in to vet them and ensure they meet professional standards for your event.
Can I share a timeline for major sourcing decisions & deadline commitments?
Throughout planning, you should follow a structured sourcing timeline to secure the most important vendors early and refine the design details as we get closer:
- 12–10 months: venue, photographer/videographer, overall design direction
- 10–8 months: catering, entertainment, rentals, florist
- 8–6 months: hotel blocks, transportation, cake, lighting, attire
- 6–4 months: linens, tabletop, stationery, hair & makeup, timeline draft
- 4–2 months: menu lock, seating strategy, décor confirmations
- Final 30 days: final confirmations, payments, walkthrough, and detailed execution planning
- All deadlines and payment reminders can be tracked through planning documents or checklists so nothing is missed and you never feel overwhelmed.

Questions/Answers to Planning Partnerships
Does my full service include design of programs, table seating cards, signage/frames, & coordinating party favors in the base price?
Yes. Design guidance for all printed and visual elements such as programs, seating cards, signage, and party favors contents is included in my base planning services. I assist with wording, layout guidance, sourcing printers/signage vendors, and ensuring these pieces align with the overall event design. Assembly and arrangement of welcome bags is an add-on service but party favor coordination is included. Printing, materials, frames, and production costs are separate and billed at cost.
Is event design & tablescapes/layout included in the full service base price?
Yes. Event design, floorplan development, tablescape styling, and overall aesthetic direction are parts of my planning process. I can create the layout, design vision, and coordinate all rental, floral, and décor vendors to execute the look cohesively with you. Rental, floral, and décor items are separate from planning fees.
What is my favorite part of the planning process?
My favorite part is watching all the individual pieces come together into a seamless guest experience. I love the creative collaboration during design, but what truly excites me is the logistics behind the scenes that allow the client and their families to be fully present and enjoy the day without stress.
How do I deal with challenges if clients are unhappy with a vendor or it doesn’t work out after a deposit is paid?
I step in immediately as the point of contact. I review the contract, communicate directly with the vendor on your behalf, and work toward a solution, replacement, or compromise. Because of my vendor relationships and experience, issues are often resolved smoothly. If a change is necessary, I help secure a replacement while protecting as much of your investment as possible.
In my opinion, what sets myself apart from other planners?
My approach blends design, logistics, hospitality and guest experience equally. I’m highly experienced and proactive behind the scenes while creating events that feel warm, personal, and effortless. Clients often tell me they feel completely taken care of because I anticipate needs before they arise and love my genuine hospitality.
How many other weddings and events do I plan around the same time as another?
I intentionally limit the number of events I take on to ensure each client receives my full attention. I only book a select number of events per month and never double-book full-service occasions on the same weekend.
If full planning is booked, here are some services you should not assume I provide or that might be an additional fee?
My role is planning, design, coordination, and logistics. I do not provide floral, catering, rentals, photography, or printing services directly. Extensive assembly projects, large-scale DIY installations, or last-minute added events may incur an additional fee, but this can be discussed in advance.
Does my cost include set up, tear down, & trash removal?
Yes. I oversee and coordinate full setup and teardown with vendors and venue staff. Basic trash removal is managed through the catering team and venue. If a venue requires additional staffing for cleanup beyond standard expectations, I can coordinate that as needed.
Can I share a timeline for major sourcing decisions & deadline commitments.
Throughout planning, I follow a structured sourcing timeline to secure the most important vendors early and refine the design details as we get closer:
- 12–10 months: venue, photographer/videographer, overall design direction
-
10–8 months: catering, entertainment, rentals, florist
-
8–6 months: hotel blocks, transportation, cake, lighting, attire
-

All deadlines and payment reminders can be tracked through planning documents or checklists so nothing is missed and you never feel overwhelmed.
Does my plan allow for non-caterer provided alcohol?
This depends on venue rules and local regulations. If permitted, I coordinate the logistics, insurance requirements, licensed bartending services, and quantities to ensure it is handled safely and properly.
Am I an open book with vendor invoices & quotes?
Absolutely. I operate with full transparency. You receive vendor quotes and invoices directly, and there are no hidden markups. My planning fee is separate from vendor costs.
Do I allow clients to use vendors outside of your preferred list?
Yes. While I provide trusted recommendations, you are welcome to use any vendor you love. I simply step in to vet them and ensure they meet professional standards for your event.

You maintain direct payment relationships with vendors for transparency. I can track due dates, review invoices, and remind you of upcoming payments through the planning system.
Does my budget planning or checklists provide timelines for payments & reminders?
Yes. My planning and checklist forms can include payment tracking, deadline reminders, and an organized view of your overall budget.
Based on my planning style, what roles fall under my services vs. the client’s responsibility?
