We found event planner Risa Goldstein who
runs her event business
through the Secret Jerusalem Facebook group.
We had a moderate budget in mind and Risa
understood this as she is familiar with managing
smaller events.
Risa handled all the details. We got the perfect, hassle-free simcha. She arranged exactly what was wanted and in budget. She had all the right sources and connections and arranged the perfect event for our family. We felt like guests at our own simcha. I highly recommend her.
Risa was AMAZING! She was on top of the big picture and the small details. She communicated with me morning and night according to my schedule(in America). It's incredibly difficult to make a wedding in a country that you are not residing in, and she took me and my daughter through every step.
ריסה דאגה להרגיע אותי כשהייתי לחוצה ישר לפני החופה. ריסה שלחה לי רשימה לפני החתונה לוודא שלא שכחתי כלום וקיבלה ממני את כל הפרטים של הספקים כדי לעמוד איתם בקשר ולוודא שהכל יעבור חלק. מאחלת לכולם לזכות להמון שמחות ולקחת את ריסה שתעזור לכם בארגון כדי שתוכלו להינות כמו שצריך!

Risa tended to every detail on the day including precise scheduling, which relieved us of a lot of pressure. We received many compliments from our guests who told us how much they enjoyed our simcha and we were delighted how well everything went.
We can honestly say that Risa provides an excellent comprehensive and tailored VIP service based on many years of experience.
Her recommendations of service providers were well-suited to our style and budget and they worked hard to satisfy us encouraged by Risa's strong professional relationships with them.
Risa was easily accessible via email, on the phone and in person. She was a great help in locating professionals, providing us with a range of professionals to choose from. On our wedding day, Risa was instrumental in finding a new magnet photographer after our original photographer cancelled due to Coronavirus. She came to the hall earlier than planned to deal with multiple last minute changes due to Health Ministry regulations. We had a beautiful wedding thanks to Risa's efforts.
Planning a wedding is already a daunting task, but panning a wedding from another country in another language in another time zone is a whole different ball game. Risa made planning our Israeli wedding easy and fun; she connected us with absolutely outstanding vendors, worked within our budget, and offered insider knowledge to help make our event a success. Our guests are still telling us how much they liked the flowers, how delicious the food was, how good the band was, and how wonderful all of the staff at the event hall were. If you’re on the fence about hiring a wedding planner, get off the darn fence. I absolutely could not have done this on my own. Our wedding was stunning and Risa did an amazing job.
FAB events is able to custom fit your event to your needs. Risa is on the ball, and she thinks for the client about the smallest details.Risa is also able to work around a fixed budget and always makes things work perfectly. It's worth the peace of mind.
FAB Events Israel was my go to for my wedding planning experience.
Not only is Risa on top of every detail, but she is efficient in the way that she works. Her experience with people shines through as she truly advocates for her clients when working with vendors. She saved us a TON of financial expense and we keep getting compliments on how gorgeous, elegant and smoothly run our wedding was!
Risa was great! We hired her for the JICNY Yom Yerushalyim dinner. She was present and willing to do whatever was needed for our 600 person event. She was readily available to the very last minute and and after the event, even helped to shelp stuff back at 2 o'clock in the morning. She came on board in the middle of the chaotic situation and she dealt with it like a champ. I would highly recommend Risa for party / event planning. Jodi Samuels
