Introduction
DFK Planning was founded with the belief that every event should be a memorable experience. The vision is to create unique and innovative events that exceed our clients' expectation and leave a lasting impression. In June 2011, I started planning my first event which was a wedding that took place in August 2012. From then on, I have planned milestone birthdays, fundraising galas, celebration galas, and weddings. As a result, my experience with different cultures is vast. I am familiar with Jewish, Ethiopian, Nigerian, and African American wedding customs just to name a few. I have planned/coordinated events in both common and unique venues such as community centers, hotels, art gallery and restaurant buyout. I have planned/coordinated events with $0 budget to over $100k budget. My services are guaranteed to enhance your event.

Aggie was wonderful to work with. She got to work with our vendors and coordinated all aspects of the wedding logistics. She helped to plan the moving the wedding party by boat. Everything was beautiful and everything went as planned! My daughter and her new husband had a wonderful day as a result of her planning. Thank you and well done Aggie!!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Aggie Chongo and DFK Planning and Wedding Coordination! Aggie was tasked with the monumental job of organizing a 24-person bridal party with less than 30 days to prepare—and she absolutely exceeded all expectations. What truly sets Aggie apart is her quiet dignity. She remained calm and composed through every challenge and unforeseen issue that arose, handling each situation with grace and professionalism. Despite the inevitable surprises that come with wedding planning, Aggie’s steadfast demeanor kept everyone at ease. Not only did she stay for the entire event, but she also ensured that the Bride and Groom were always the main focus, gently guiding everyone’s attention toward the couple. Her presence was so seamless and attentive that friends and family couldn’t help but notice the extra care she put into every detail. To top it all off, Aggie offered words of wisdom throughout the day that aligned perfectly with the couple’s faith, creating moments of reflection and gratitude that made the occasion even more meaningful. Aggie Chongo goes above and beyond in every way, and we were so fortunate to have her coordinate our special day. Her dedication, calm spirit, and genuine care will leave a lasting impact on us, our families, and our friends. Highly recommended!

We chose Aggie to be our Day-of-Coordinator. Our wedding day ran so smoothly. From managing vendors to keeping us on schedule, she handled everything with professionalism. She made sure we could fully enjoy the moment without stressing about logistics, and that peace of mind is priceless. Thank you for being such an essential part of our special day. We are grateful!

DFK Planning exceeded my expectations! Aggie is phenomenal to work with. She is not only professional and detailed, but also fun, calming, and personable. She ensured all we had to focus on was being present and as stress free as possible on our special day. She truly loves her work and cares about her clients. We would highly recommend her as a professional coordinator and are honored to have her be part of our day.🌸

Aggie was absolutely wonderful. She took over from our first meeting, jumped in without any hesitation. I called her about many concerns, on weekends and evenings and rather than wait for business hours, she got right back to me. She anticipated possible challenges and solved real problems, like when we had several unexpected guests arrive for dinner. She took over, had them seated along with everyone else without batting an eye. She was and is more than I ever expected and I have already referred her to a friend. SHE IS THAT GOOD!! I just cannot say enough about how absolutely thrilled I am to have worked with her for my daughter’s wedding!!!
