IMPACT Collective did an outstanding job with our wedding. We worked with Kadzo, who is a wedding planner extraordinaire. She started off by finding us an excellent but reasonably-priced venue + catering pair that we never would have found on our own. This was followed by detailed checklists and regular meetings to ensure all preparations were happening in timely fashion. She has extensive experience with a big network of vendors, which really helped the selection process. In the months leading up to the wedding, she contacted and coordinate between all these vendors, saving us a lot of time and stress. All of this was done while strictly keeping us within our desired budget. On our wedding day itself, we could have sworn Kadzo and her assistant had magic powers. They were on top of every second of the rehearsal dinner, ceremony, picture session, cocktail hour, and reception. They communicated clearly, found people well ahead of when they were needed for things, coordinated setup and takedown, checked on us regularly, and impressively adapted to some last-second requests. We are so, so happy with how our wedding turned out and IMPACT Collective is a huge reason for that. To anyone deciding whether to hire IMPACT Collective: we want to stress that this service is absolutely worth the price. No matter how much you learn online or from others, it is impossible to go into the wedding planning process knowing everything you need to know. It is likely you will end up overly stressed and/or over budget as unexpected expenses pile on. Kadzo and co. have a lot of expertise and will keep you in budget and stress-free while still planning the wedding of your dreams. She saved us thousands of dollars just with her knowledge of vendors and venues. This service pays for itself, in a way. We absolutely recommend using IMPACT Collective to plan your wedding!

Hiring Kadzo and Eddie at Impact Collective was the single best decision we made for our wedding. I would not have been able to plan our 3-day destination wedding with Indian and Jewish elements if not for them. There were so many moving parts and they handled everything flawlessly.When we started planning, we wanted to do a wedding in the Dominican Republic. We went to visit and decided it wasn't for us.Kadzo and Eddie recommended Playa del Carmen. We went to visit and fell in love with the city and Grand Hyatt hotel there, so we signed contracts and Kadzo began working in earnest. We flew down again, with Kadzo, to experience the space and meet with vendors.Four months before our scheduled wedding, Grand Hyatt Playa del Carmen canceled it due to a rebranding. We were devastated to say the least. Kadzo and Eddie picked us up and dusted us off, treating the cancelation like an emergency.We took another last minute trip down to the area with Kadzo and, after many hotels, we finally found the one. JW Marriott in Cancun.Kadzo planned our wedding in about 70 days. Eddie came down to be the days of coordinator and did a fantastic job as well.I would give them more than five stars if I could.

Eddie & Kadzo Are Simply the Best!IMPACT Collective (Eddie and Kadzo) are amazing! They planned my brothers wedding and did an outstanding job, so my fianc and I spoke with them for our destination wedding in Mexico. They were incredibly kind, transparent, organized, and detail-oriented throughout. Eddie and Kadzo make you feel completely supported and bring so much expertise to the process. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for a planning team you can trust!

Eddie and the Impact team have helped us launch parties, corporate events and company engagements. My favorite one so far was at a Vineyard for our real estate investment network. Not only was it a fun event but we also generated a ton of business out of that on event. They are rock stars.
