Frankie and her all-star staff professionally orchestrated my multi-floored, multi-locationed wedding with the confidence of a drill sergeant, and the kindness of a team of Disney princesses. People couldn't stop coming up to me and telling me how smoothly everything was going, and that's all a credit to Frankie.…

We had a lot of moving parts to our wedding, but she helped keep us on track along the way. Throughout the process, she demonstrated to be dedicated, responsive, honest, and committed. She always had a backup plan if needed, helped us through our rehearsal day, and made the wedding day itself surprisingly stress free. My family also loved Frankie and everyone had a blast. Nobody noticed any hiccups. Her team is very detail oriented and will ensure a smooth experience.

We had Frankie as our wedding coordinator and honestly, we could not have asked for anyone better. We booked her from France as we were planning the entire wedding from there. She was so enthusiastic, helpful, and always there when we needed her. Any time something came up, she handled it without making it feel like a big deal, and we felt we could completely rely on her.
It’s hard to put into words how much she actually did on the wedding day itself. You really have to experience it to understand. As the bride and groom, you want everyone to enjoy themselves, but it’s stressful trying to keep things moving or telling guests when it’s time to stop taking pictures because the grand entrance is happening. Frankie took care of all of that for us. She managed everything so smoothly that we didn’t have to worry about a thing.
Because of her, we were able to relax and just enjoy our day. We’re so grateful for everything she did and would recommend her to anyone without hesitation ! Also we would recommend to anybody to take a coordinator for the day of their wedding 😊

Better than ever imagined perfect wedding
WIth a theme of Simple Elegance held in an outdoor garden venue, Breath of Fresh Air and Frankie were amazing at bringing vision to life.
Because I am not good with logistics or decor, I was feeling so lost and a little hopeless at how to begin. Encouraged by and drawn to Frankie’s energy, we moved ahead. How incredibly grateful we are to have come across Frankie and her team Breath of Fresh Air! Using an online detailed planner, frequent communication, lists of vendor recommendations, she guided and advised us through all the prep, answered our questions and concerns, solved problems, helped with contract negotiations, and worked with our personal contributions. Every single need was met.
The evening of the rehearsal, I was distressed running very late in meeting her staff member to hand off wedding items and props. I could not believe her staff was so patient and kind, waiting for me and receiving the items.
We were pleased with so many things, including a discount on the videographer; help with ceremony logistics, timing, and programs; the perfect tent rental. Wedding day went just as promised–like we were guests. Decor and setup were beautiful, tasteful and elegant; surprised us with an upgrade on tablecloths; and communicating with the venue regarding delayed access resulting in getting some money back.
We were left astounded with their quality of work, professionalism, how skilled, experienced, detailed and efficient they are. We want to spread the word of how excellent and proficient Frankie and Breath of Fresh Air are! They are wedding planning whizzes!

I strongly endorse Frankie for any special event. I hired Frankie for my son’s College graduation celebration. Frankie and her team exceeded expectations to ensure my son’s party was memorable. The food was outstanding. We hired a taco vendor. I had al pastor tacos and I could have easily eaten 10 more no exaggeration. They were exquisite. We had bull riding, open bar, churros, dancing, photo booth and a charcuterie board with everyone showering me with compliments about the party and decorations. Frankie is an exceptional event planner. She ensured that everyone was enjoying themselves and got everyone engage , especially when it came to the bull riding - did I mention she was the first one to hop on? Lol.
The most crucial aspect was that my son relished his party, and he certainly did. He had a fantastic time along with his friends and family.
Frankie, thank you and your team for an amazing party And Go Bears 🐻‼️

Frankie and her all-star staff professionally orchestrated my multi-floored, multi-locationed wedding with the confidence of a drill sergeant, and the kindness of a team of Disney princesses. People couldn't stop coming up to me and telling me how smoothly everything was going, and that's all a credit to Frankie.
She was very communicative about how she'd like us to set up documentation and pickups, and very responsive to questions and text messages. The event planner website where we are able to organize a seating chart, have a to do list, and can track vendor documentations, was a literal lifesaver.
I would hire Frankie again in a heartbeat for any event.

This review is long overdue, but I couldn’t let the year go by without sharing the excellent experience we had with Frankie. I’d also like to add that my husband and I are perfectionists—we started planning our wedding a year and a half in advance to ensure a smooth event, and honestly, we couldn’t have done it without her assistance! Everything went smoothly, and what I absolutely love about Frankie is that she keeps you on track every step of the way. I also love her personality. As we all know, planning a wedding is extremely stressful, especially when you’re planning for a big group. You need someone on your team who is knowledgeable, attentive, organized, and kind, and Frankie and her team are all that and more! Frankie went above and beyond for me and my husband, and we truly felt like guests at our wedding.
During my initial consultation with Frankie, we both explained how we wanted to show up and enjoy our friends and family, and we did just that. Our wedding was romantic, dreamy, and magical. Frankie, we thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts for all the work you put in to ensure the day was a success. I know you have many clients, but thanks so much for making Antonio and me feel like we were your only clients.
I’d also like to add that two days before my wedding, my dad was rushed to the hospital due to a severe seizure and was unable to attend the wedding. My dad is my best friend. Frankie was so comforting and assured me that we would get through this together. She worked with our designer to make sure we had a picture of my dad present.
If you are looking for a wedding planner who is passionate, knowledgeable, hardworking, and dedicated, look no further—you HAVE FOUND HER! We will continue to recommend your services to our family, friends, and colleagues. We truly appreciate you! Hope you have an amazing New Year, and I pray your business continues to flourish because you are so amazing at what you do!
