nce. He held my hand through every step of the way. When I was going crazy and off budget - he pulled me back in (much to the joy of my fiance), kept my nerves at bay, and helped me to focus on what was truly important. I cannot say enough good things about Brian and his entire team. He made my wedding a day I will never forget, and I will forever be thankful for him.

a time, with no advance notice and backup only once, including 5 days the week leading up to my wedding. With every other vendor, we discussed expectations in 1+ hour meetings in the weeks leading up to the wedding, from the second a song should be played, to every word spoken for the ceremony, to each photograph that should be taken. However, there wasn’t really much discussion from my planner for the wedding day. Having gone to several weddings, my expectation was one family photo in the ceremony location. They always pride themselves on being a dream maker, my one request the day of was a family photo in the ceremony space, this was shot down, and later stated per documentation this was a false expectation. There was some confusion with last minute seating changes that I think could’ve been avoided had it been reviewed earlier. The people making speeches could’ve been set at the corner rather than having their backs facing the bride & groom. My dad with no clear direction ended up standing at the front awkwardly while the best man gave his toast, and the other speakers were seated. Planning also had some hiccups. Felt attention to detail was lacking - when asking about snack prices, just added it the contract for the full guest count without any answer first. Forgot to send a calendar appointment, wrong address for another. 3 months after the wedding, I received an outstanding bill from directly from a vendor, which never was forwarded to us from him. Only one vendor recommendation for many categories – such as video, makeup, cake, stationary. A very hard push to use his stationary vendor which I was weary about using. Every statement as to why I didn’t want to use them was met with another as to why I should, I got tired of arguing and being met with silence and decided to trust his judgment -- which resulted in invites that I correctly guessed ended up being much more $$, and late (save the dates were sent out 6 months prior for a destination wedding, day of stationary approved the night before my flight). Full planning doesn’t include contract review, nor is negotiation, just another thing to consider. In the end I didn’t feel I was being really listened to, or emphasized with. That just made this process that much harder and stressful for me.

p of the way. I would have been lost without him. Not only did he book all of my vendor appointments, he also went to each meeting with me. This process can be extremely overwhelming for a new bride but he really made it seamless and relaxed where I didn't feel overwhelmed at all. He was very organized, knowledgeable and most important very accommodating. During this process I stopped looking at him as my wedding planner but instead a friend. I would recommend him to anyone who is planning a wedding, an engagement party, or even a special event. He created a moment that my husband and I will never forget. My guest are still talking about how great my wedding was and how it was the best one they have ever attended. I plan on using him for all of special life events as my husband and I continue our journey together. If you are truly looking for a stress free and warm experience, Brian is your guy. I am so grateful we chose him.

ur computer to do it for him. Brian is AMAZING. Brian is #FandgFabulous as he likes to say. I knew pretty much what I wanted my wedding to look like. I designed it in my head when I was 15 and dreamed of what it would be like. When we met with Brian and I shared my ideas - I could see the excitement in his eyes for us. He not only was on board for my overall vision - but when we sat to design the reception he took my original ideas and made them into something I couldn't imagine. It was magical. It was breath-taking. My husband was not really involved in any of the planning and when he walked into the room and saw everything all he kept saying to me all night was WOW. Brian was heaven sent! He held our hands when they needed holding, he pushed us when we needed pushing to make decisions, he laughed with us the whole way through! And it never hurts to meet your planner to do nothing but have lunch and drink champagne! The whole experience was luxurious! He is by far the best. We went to another wedding after we got married and some of our guests were also there and they kept saying to us all night - this was definitely not done by your planner! and all we did was smile! He's incredible and worth every penny and more!!!

wish I could do my wedding over and over again because we loved it so much. And we did because of Brian. From our first meeting we felt we had known him our whole lives. We simply clicked. he understood our vibe, got that I am type A++ and that as much as he would need to manage the vendors that he would have to manage my craziness too! At every turn he kept reminding me to breathe and enjoy the process - to take in the little and the big things. And nothing was too small or too big for Brian to handle. Even at the last minute when my dad was unable to come and he said to me that if he had to walk me down the aisle himself he would... he was my guy and still is! My honest suggestion - if you dont book F&G weddings, you wont get the best experience for your big day. We still talk about what a fun time we had an use phrases he would say in his Barbadian accent..You will LOVE Brian!

nd there was no way I was going to be able to plan a wedding on my own. We met with several planners and they were all good but when we met with Brian and F&G Weddings we knew we had found our guy! Brian is funny and efficient and the first thing he said to me was - we are not curing cancer, we are creating a fabulous event, so keep it in perspective. During the process he was a gem - he knew I would be too busy prepping for exams before the wedding so we had all of the vendors booked around my schedule so I felt no pressure. He was PERFECT. I walked away with a great wedding and a friend for life! I wish he could plan my whole life...

tressed out and actually did not even want to do a wedding but my mom would have killed me so I said OK but after meeting brian I was excited every single day for it to come. He helped me create a design for the day that was magical. Our guests are still talking about the wedding and calling it the best, most organized wedding they have ever been to - and it was! All I can say to brian and his team is THANK YOU!!!!!

THE BEST!

going to well at all. I found Brian browsing through the internet. I watched a video of him and his team preparing for a Fantastic photo shoot viewed some more of his work and I was sold! Now originally my husband DID NOT want a wedding planner he wanted to use this friend ,that friend etc. but once we met with Brian those hideous thoughts went right out the window. Brian was very professional had his laptop out was asking questions taking notes, getting to know us and what we wanted to make our day Everything and some. I requested his FULL SERVICE Package and when i tell you we had no worries I mean we literally had NO WORRIES!! My husband tried to do some things on his own like set up a cake appointment and Brian let him know very nicely... this is what YOU HIRED ME FOR ..Please let me do MY JOB. Every vendor he made appointments with was Fantastic..My stationary,My Photographer, My Venue,My Decor &Linen,My Cake, My Make up Team,MY DRESS, My Lighting, My Goodness I can go on and on and on HE WAS FANTASTIC. The relationship he has with everyone he works with SPEAKS VOLUMES.He has a Gift and this IS HIS PASSION!! When someone LOVES what they Do You can't go wrong with them. I had rave reviews for my wedding which was on 8/15/2015 at The W Midtown Atlanta ..Did I spend money>>>YES<<< Was it worth it?HECK YES & I'D DO IT AGAIN!!!

bar high. He was organized, thoughtful, sharp, and ready to get to work. It was clear from the start the service, attention to detail, class, quality, and peace of mind we could expect from him and his team. Months after our wedding people are still talking about it using the same words -- "that was the best wedding I've ever attended." Speaking of team, Brian is known to have what we "Brian Brides" affectionately refer to as the A Team of vendors on speed dial, ready to make dreams come true. They are the best in the business and come second to absolutely no one. Best flowers, done. Best stationary, done. Best food, done. Best cake, done....BEST WEDDING EVER -- take if from me, Brian and F&G Weddings are the way to get it DONE! Lastly, you often hear about wedding planning being a stressful event, well, people were amazed at how calm my husband and I were throughout the planning process. When you have a planner like Brian, you know that you have no need to worry. He listened to what we wanted and promised to deliver....well, that was the only fib he told -- because he OVER delivered. (Cheesy but true). The only thing better than being a bride on your wedding day is being a BRIAN BRIDE ~ trust me, you'd have to experience it to know the difference! I will never forget my wedding day (of course) and from what I've heard, neither will my guests. It was an honor to work with F&G Weddings. Drs. Bakari

elp me pull of the wedding I wanted. After interviewing (and dismissing) several wedding planners, I turned to TheKnot.com for a last ditch effort to find a planner. I was SO blessed to find Brian! Based on his work displayed on his website, I knew he would understand my vision. When we met for the first time, you would have thought we were old friends catching up. Not only did I know he could give me the wedding I wanted, but we would work well together. Brian brought me the most fabulous vendors to bring my vision to life. He also made life easy by keeping me on schedule and planning all my appointments. He would say "Hey, it's time to look at venues. What dates work best for you?". All I had to do was put it on my calendar and show up! I looked forward to my meetings with him. We always had so much fun! It was like planning my wedding with my best friend. In the end, I got to marry the man of my dreams during the wedding of my dreams. I still can't believe how beautiful it turned out! And what's even better, I got new friend in the process! Brian's spirit is as beautiful as the weddings he puts on. If you are looking for a planner who literally is in the "dreams come true" business, look no further. Not only will he help you dream, but make it come true.

use to describe my planning experience. I know many people talk about having bridezilla moments but when your planner is organized and does everything that they say that they will do when they say that they will do it, there's no need to be or do anything but a lovely and carefree bride. I feel like I planned my wedding with my life-long best friend. Specifically, Brian got to know me, the groom, and our personal style and executed an event beyond our wildest dreams. I have been to many weddings and never have I reached out to the bride and groom to specifically tell them how beautiful their wedding was and what a terrific time that I had at their event. My husband and I continue to get calls, text messages, and tagged in social media posts about how every element about our wedding was flawless from start to finish. If F&G weddings does birthdays, baby showers, and retirement parties, I would hire (and highly recommend) them to plan a celebratory event for every life stage.

creativity, planing, and passion that was given to us for our day. Nothing makes me happier than to give my now wife her hearts desire, and for our wedding it would have not been possible with out Brian. Thanks B!!!!!

of my life... It couldn't have been better! He took my dream for my wedding day and took it to a whole other level. I can't thank him enough for the amazing memories that I have! He is wonderful... It you are looking for a wedding planner, look no further!!!! -Christine

so much time laughing and doing fun fabulous things that when people would ask me if we were not getting married soon, and how come I was not stressed out I kept saying "I have Brian" Every vendor he recommended was amazing, every moment of our day was so far better than I could have ever dreamed it would be that I am just so happy we found him at the very beginning! If I could do it all over again, I would not change a single thing.

ur wedding process. Brian is extremely knowledgeable about the wedding industry and all things related. He has great relationships with some of the best vendors in the business. Also, Brian attended every vendor appointment with us to help make our vision a reality. He was able to ask the vendors questions that we would have never thought about asking. From my dress selection to the center pieces on the tables, Brian made sure things were "F & G Fabulous". Details is what Brian lives for and it truly shows through his great work. If you are looking for an excellent wedding planner, please consider Brian with F & G Weddings. My husband and I are so grateful for the flawless execution Brian pulled off for our wedding. People are still taking about just how perfect things turned out on our BIG day. Brian is the best in the business and I would recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding planner.

our venue and a couple of our vendors. He assured us that was no problem and he stepped in and was able to work with everyone amazingly. His vendors were awesome and it was so nice to not have to go through the hassle of finding my own and setting up my own appointments anymore, especially since our wedding was so far out of the city. I'm a city girl but I love the country and I wanted both to come together for my wedding. From our first meeting, Brian immediately understood my vision. He came up with an amazing design for both the ceremony and reception and made sure it was executed perfectly. Brian made sure to keep the budget on track while still making sure I had everything I really wanted. Throughout the whole process he made me feel like a queen and made sure everything was really special for me. Knowing that Brian had everything under control put my mind at ease. Everyone said this was the most beautiful wedding they had ever been to and honestly, I can say that it was because of Brian. I don't know what we would have done without Brian. I'm so glad we had him by our side throughout the whole process. If you're looking for a wedding planner, look no further. Brian is definitely the best of the best. You won't want him to leave even after the wedding!

ing him (and seeing the beautiful bag he was carrying) that he was the planner for me. I still remember how professional and fabulous he was even from that first meeting and that same fabulousness continued throughout my planning process. Brian not only put me in contact with Atlanta's best vendors and facilitated every meeting, but he also made each and every meeting fun and enjoyable. Throughout the planning process, friends and family members constantly asked me if I was stressed, and I can honestly say that thanks to Brian, I wasn't. Wedding planning was painless because Brian allowed me to enjoy the fun parts of being a bride while he did all the dirty work. He was truly by my side every step of the way from creating an initial budget, to picking the perfect venue and stationery, to tasting wonderful cuisine and seeing the decor for my reception space come to life. I told him the vision I had for my wedding day and he made sure that I had exactly what I wanted and more. If you want to have a fabulous, over the top, but stress free wedding, F&G Weddings is perfect for you.

ss Brian's spectacular work. Brian did not let distance be a disabling factor. In fact, we felt as if he was resident here! He flew in to do site visits with us, met with the vendors he had recommended we work with and was readily available to discuss all aspects of the process with us via email, telephone, Skype - by any available medium. He then flew in 5 days before the wedding to make sure everything was perfect and that we were comfortable and relaxed. I would describe the F & G Weddings' experience as nothing short of magical. After your love pops the question and you have notified your family and friends, the next step is to get in to contact with Brian Green at F&G Weddings. Other than saying yes to the proposal this will be one of the best decisions you will ever make. Brian and his team speak about "bringing the fabulous" but that does not do justice to the amazing process that unfolds - F & G Weddings brought our dreams to reality - In fact, that is an understatement - Brian and his team designed and executed our wedding beyond what we could have ever imagined. It truly was the happiest day of our lives and that was in no small way due to Brian and F&G Weddings.

l, and most beautiful wedding. As a gay couple we had very little idea or expectations on all the components of a great wedding ceremony and reception. Brian took all the worry and stress away so that we only had to concentrate on the big day. What we got was a fabulous event that is being talked about for months. His networking list of individual vendors and companies and his eye for sophistication helped bring our overall vision of a landmark wedding into a reality. Never did we think our dream wedding would have been brought to fruition in the fantastic way it was. His planning and coordination were superb and we were lucky to have him

without you. I would recommend you to anyone I know, and hope we can use you again for future planning. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication.

any couple is the same! From the first time we met Brian, he immediately "got us." Within a few days, we confirmed a venue and a photographer. Next, we met with Edge Design to plan our vision. This was so much fun, and surprisingly effortless! As a full service consultant, F&G weddings did all of the "work." I'm a busy professional, and I never had to micromanage the wedding. I was able to enjoy all of the days leading up to our wedding stress free. The day of our wedding was surreal. Every detail was carefully planned to perfection. The entire ballroom was smothered and covered with florals. The decor far exceeded our expectations. Brian and his team were like the secret service, making sure that everything flowed smoothly. Next to the birth of our son, our wedding has been the best day of my life. I have endless gratitude to F&G events for making my dreams come true.

it came to the week of the wedding, I would not be able to handle the stress and would leave off a lot of details. Brian did a fabulous job. He was able to ward off the crazy relatives. He kept my unruly bridemaids on time. He made the late people wait until I made my entrance before they came in. He made sure that I was where I needed to be for pictures. He made sure my husband and I ate and enjoyed the day. If I had it to do over, I would hire him again!

eeded. From beginning to end, and even now Brian became such a major part of our life. He helped with every detail, from budget, to choosing vendors, to picking my dress (which was oh so perfect thanks to him), he did not miss a beat. He made sure that everything we desired for our day, and that fit in our budget happened. He helped us created a romantic, elegant, and loving event, that went off with no flaws or errors. From the save the dates to the actual wedding day, he allowed us to create suspense and excitement, that our guest were eager to experience in November. Many of our guest are still talking about the wedding, they want to do it all over again!! So do we!!! We absolutely loved working with Brian!!! If you get the chance, PLEASE COUNT YOURSELF LUCKY, if you haven't decided....PLEASE CALL NOW...Before it is to late....and if you are still looking...STOP LOOKING FOR A PLANNER...PICK F&G NOW!!! He will be more than a planner, he will be a great friend, for a lifetime!!! And that's certified by my husband and I...the Hill's love him and our family does too!! Ashley & Rontae

ere immediately recognized and extremely appreciated. He responded to our emails within nearly minutes! What is most telling about his abilities is that, due to our budget, we decided not to hire a planner for the entire duration. When we hired Brian for the last month we were in a total cluster of a situation of which he came in and fixed almost immediately. We highly recommend Brian for your wedding - he makes the stress of wedding planning feel like you are already on your honeymoon. Henry and Daneille

as the wedding planner behind this magically wedding. After a quick view of the vendors for that particular wedding- Brian Green with F&G Weddings was the wedding planner. I immediately emailed Brian and expressed my fascination with his work. We began to talk about what I wanted for my big day. I initially told him I wanted a wedding identical to the one that captured my attention. He laughed and said he does not duplicate his weddings- but he assured me our wedding would be everything that I had wanted and more. He not only made good on his word, he gave us the wedding of our dreams- we are still dreaming and so are all of our family and friends. Brian not only made this experience for us easy he had us laughing the entire time which is what I definitely needed as a bride to be! During the planning process, I stressed to Brian I did not want to go over my budget and he did everything he could to help me stay in it- guess what the budget went out the window and Brian nearly fainted! LOL He gave up on me and let me have my way-he put up a good fight though- so much fun! I am so glad that we chose Brian as our planner because he created a wedding that was a true beautiful love story- brought to life in which it was selected and featured in an online well known magazine! Brian was a joy to work with and I would highly recommend him if you want a fabulous wedding that will have people talking long after the wedding is over.

had a certain style in mind. With ease and class, Brian captured our style and desire for our special day. Our wedding was held at an art gallery on a beautiful September Sunday morning. His ideas and concepts were unique, elegant and had good "rhythm". Our guests were so impressed and happy to be there. We all had a glorious time! Brian is, by far, THE best wedding planner in the land! Alexis Bushell

f my expectations. He made the planning process really fun and stress free. The vendors he recommended were top notch and they all did an incredible job. As much fun as planning the wedding with Brian was, wedding day was where he truly shined. He had every detail taken care of from start to finish and we were able to just sit back and enjoy our special day. Brian made every one of my wedding dreams come true and I would recommend him to anyone planning a wedding.

! Throughout the planning Brian was helpful, detail oriented, organized and timely. We thoroughly enjoyed each planning session with him and always came away from our sessions re-energized. We valued his expertise, creativity, advice and humor. As he put it, we weren't curing cancer, we were simply planning a big (expensive) party, His assistance not only made planning a wedding bearable, but enjoyable. He was especially patient with us as we evaluated several locations for our big day. We also valued his long standing relationships with many of the vendors we chose. Those relationships ensured that he was able to translate our needs in ways the vendors could understand, and he helped smoothen things when last minute adjustments to our budget arose. Finally, he was an extremely calming voice on the day of the wedding, making sure that we didn't worry about the details and focused on enjoying our big day!

bride he was attending to. His passion for making everything beautiful and fabulous, perfectly aligned with what I had envisioned my wedding day to be. He listens carefully and lends his expertise in a way that he doesn't make you feel clueless, but rather a true part of your wedding experience. His honest insight and personable demeanor was very intriguing as I was initially hesitant to hire a wedding planner. Brian not only took care of me, but he took care of my family, my partner, my wedding party and all of the guests! His no-nonsense attitude made for a great relationship with us - we can tell from the beginning of the planning that this was a match made in heaven. He made my dream wedding come true and I am honored to be known as one of his brides. I can't wait for our vow renewal as I'm looking forward to work with Brian again!

eached out to my husband and found out what had happened. He sent me the sweetest, most encouraging email (that had nothing to do with weddings) and that was the moment I knew he would be our planner once we were ready to get things moving again. At the time I was also starting PA school. My life was completely overwhelming. Brian took everything stressful about wedding planning away from me and made the experience light in the midst of darkness. He made it my fun escape from all my stressors of life. He was extremely professional, organized, assertive, and treated me with the kindness and patience that I needed during that time. He is very protective of his brides and that's important. It was very important for me to stay within my budget for financial, but mainly sentimental reasons and he did that for us. He has so many connections with the vendors here in Atlanta, that they are able to offer him flexibility that you wouldn't get if you were planning on your own. The money we spent for his planning services was returned to us in many different ways throughout the planning process.The wedding was more beautiful than I ever imagined it to be and it was the best day of my life. Brian took the time to understand what I wanted and what I needed from him and created the most memorable day of my life. In the midst of all of that, he became a dear friend to me. He is a good person to the core, and no other planner can offer the entire package that Brian is able to bring to the table.

ngs together in a way that was very stress-free. I feel so lucky to have met Brian. My husband and I always say that Brian was great because he could be the "bad guy" and communicate our wishes to people who's feelings we didn't want to hurt. So grateful.

dding colors, decor, floral arrangements, ceremony details, amazing wedding invitations...all down to the shoes on my feet. I depended on Brian to make decisions within my budget and he delivered. Brian was responsive to my many many emails, phone calls, texts and always made me feel like a top priority. The week of the wedding went so smoothly and the event itself went off without a hitch all because of Brian. His ability to interact professionally and personally with other vendors, hotel staff, and my guests contributed to the success of our wedding. I couldn't have been happier to have my wedding in Brian's hands!

of all of the elements that I did not need to be present for. He stuck with our budget which was very important to us, and still able to work in some unique pieces into our wedding. His price was competitive, but I felt I got every penny out of it. I have a sister and friends who used wedding planners and either their price was the same, but service was poor, or the service was wonderful, but they paid twice what I did. I could not be happier with Brian Green!

so many compliments on our wedding and I owe them all to Brian and his vendors. He worked hard to make sure the wedding was what we imagined. He is truly a dream maker!

ng planner for my wedding in the US Virgin Islands. I couldn't have done it without him!

not to research some planners within my budget. When I met Brian we clicked instantly. He made my wedding planning less stressful and costly. It wouldn't have been the wedding it was without him! He went above and beyond his contract with us. I would recommend F & G Weddings to everyone.

the first day we met &amp; signed the contract until weeks after the wedding, Brian has been more than supportive. It was well worth the money, I would highly recommend his services to anyone planning a wedding. Brian we love you!!!

ays on the same page. Request=DONE....even on things that seemed next to impossible! He knows how to execute and as my guest noted, he was "FIERCE" on the day of the wedding, keeping everything flowing without stressing anyone out! Love, love LOVE Brian! Definitely worth the investment! Ultimately, I say he pays for himself with his relationship with other vendors. You can't go wrong with F&amp;G Weddings!

efinitely make a wedding fabulous, but even moreso, he knows how to read his brides tastes well and create the wedding of her dreams. My 9/4/10 wedding would not have been nearly as fantastic without this one accomplished man coordinating everything behind the scenes. He is an advocate, a businessman, and a professional--and a load of FUN. Anyone who chooses F&amp;G as their wedding planner will have nothing but the best; those who walk away are making wedding planning misstep #1.
