Pregnancy.....need I say more? Making decisions and focusing on details....umm not so much. Unless of course those decisions consisted of what I was going to eat next or how long until my next nap.

After some thought, I had made the tough decision to relinquish control to someone other than myself, to plan a perfect baby shower and create what I had envisioned this day should be for the last 5 months. After many meetings with potential event planners, I was lucky enough to find Tres Fabu Events. After my first conversation with Debra I knew she was the one. Her positive energy came though the phone and I felt very comfortable as if we had been friends for years.

Throughout the planning stages for my baby shower Debra and her team listened to my ideas and offered alternative ideas that would have never crossed my mind in order to create the wow factor I was looking for. Every detail was covered. I was included in the decision making on every item, big or small. The team presented choices on everything from the flowers and menu items to the font coloring on the invitations and the candy selections for the candy bar.

Debra's list of professional referrals is an excellent resource. I had the pleasure of working with many of these individuals throughout this process and had such a wonderful experience that I will continue to use them in the future.

My baby shower was nothing short of fabulous and far exceeded my expectations. I think the photos speak for themselves. It was a perfect party to honor my little princess that would soon be entering the world. Every detail was just as we had discussed during our planning phase and the day ran seamlessly. I didn't have to think or worry about a thing the entire day. And like any wonderful event it passed by to quickly.

Debra and the Tres Fabu Team went above and beyond to make my event the "wow" I was looking for and succeeded ten fold. I was so lucky to find them and will certainly be using them for all my future events. If you dream big and have high expectations for your event, I highly recommend Debra and the Tres Fabu team to anyone in need of event planning.

I completely enjoyed myself with Kim and her mom, Susan! Time flew for this event and the creative process was fast and furious! Again, these are the reviews and results we strive for. We also had the priviledge of planning and designing the DuBach Family Thanksgiving at The Citizen Hotel last autumn as well! That's a whole other story!

I have to thank Deb Penrice with By Invitation Only for the wonderful invitations and custom paperie that set this event in motion; Shelley McArdle for her sense of style and grace she brings to all our events and my entire production team whom I am so grateful; special kudo's to Harmony Lines, Chef MJ and Chef Touey (we are still discussing & raving about our five course meal) at The Citizen Hotel for making this event over the top memorable. Divine Desserts made it perfect with these perfectly darling little Baby Cakes!

Juicy Couture Santa Barbara on Main Street for hosting our visit and giving us quite the shopping spree last spring! Thank you headquarter management back east!

Kim and I visited many venues before she chose The Citizen Hotel ~ it was the perfect setting for this abundantly beautiful baby shower! We are proud to say that the DuBach family welcomed a little baby girl late last summer. Her name is Se' Bella ~ now talk about sweet perfection!

Al & Inthira's Adventure Abroad for their Traditional Wedding Attire

Tres Fabu Event Planning and Design is excited to be a part of the Inthira and Al's multi-cultural wedding day tomorrow.

We will start early with a home based Laos Traditional wedding ceremony with their appointed Monk ~ then be whisked off thereafter for their Traditional Catholic ceremony. It will be a day of bringing two families and two cultures together in wonderful harmony. They are expecting over 350 guests at their wedding reception! We kindly asked Inthira and Al share their adventures of finding the traditional heritage dress on their six-week trip to Laos last fall:

From our couple:

It was quite an adventure trying to find the right outfit to wear and all the jewels that enhance the colorful traditional wedding outfits. We went shopping almost everyday for the first two weeks looking for the right garment. But every morning before we head into the City of Laos to shop, Al and I would wake up at 6:00 a.m. to go to the local open air market to get rice porridge, coffee and rice on a stick. The market was right across the street from my grandmother's house so it was very convenient for us. Although it was interesting to know that on days when we woke up at 7:00 a.m., all the rice porridge was sold out.

Somedays my uncle would take us into the city to shop and other days we would take the local taxi which is called the "tuk tuk". From my grandmother's house to the shopping mall, it would take about 30 mins. But we did not mind the drive at all because we love passing by the rich green rice fields and the fresh breeze of the morning and the relaxing and stress free atmosphere.

My younger cousin and her mother-in-law went with us the first couple times to help bargain. Almost everything in Laos could be bargained for....if you really wanted it that particular item. Also, since my younger cousin had recently bought her outfit for her wedding, it was easier for us to get a nice price for our red traditional outfit. Although, the shirt we got originally for Al was later exchanged and upgraded to a gold trim on the collar, buttons and sleeves. Al was pretty funny because he was very particular about his overall traditional Loas wedding look as well. The second outfit for me was a little bit of a challenge because we had to not only find the pink color but also the type of design that was sewn onto the fabric. And it was not an easy pick because there were so many stores and things just started to look the same. Also we did not have too much time at the store because all the merchants closes at 5pm. Which usually leaves us at about 3-4 hrs of shopping.

But once the outfits were found and purchased, we ended up getting the outfit late Friday night, just before our departure on Saturday morning back to the USA. Glad to say though that towards the end everything just fell into place and we were able to get the garment items we wanted in Laos for our American based ceremonies.

We are really looking forward to everything coming together tomorrow!

Chantilly lace meets rock ‘n’ roll for Ashleigh and Kristopher’s Sacramento area wedding. The bride has always loved all things pink and girly but doesn’t want to overpower her husband-to-be who loves rock and roll with too many frills and bows, so their wedding décor has to have its fair share of hard-edged design elements as well.

The bride and groom-to-be live in Hawaii so the mother of the bride hired local wedding planner Debra Michelle Hiebert to put all the parts together and to implement a whole host of surprises for her daughter starting with lighting elements that resemble the couple’s tattoos.

Ashleigh selected a traditional pearly pink wedding cake but unbeknownst to her, her Mother has ordered another cake with Ed Hardy-inspired black fondant that is decidedly un-girly from the same baker. Another one of Mom’s surprises is a custom-designed ice luge engraved with the couple’s monogram to serve their signature cocktails.

It takes a large crew to transform the staid country club into a chic black and white locale but with the help of a creative wedding planner, hundreds of yards of fabric and a unique floral design that includes a polka-dotted rose petal aisle treatment, the mission is accomplished.

The table settings shine atop smoky quartz chargers with pale pink linens accented by an ultra-feminine black and white cameo gift box.

Mom saves the biggest surprise for last. It’s an explosive firework show choreographed to the couple’s favorite music and it blows the crowd away as the reception kicks into high gear. Ashleigh and Kristopher are overwhelmed by the lavish event and look forward to a long happy life together.

Carly & Jason's "Note of Gratitude" from their 1.30.10 Wedding Event

Debra and the entire Tres Fabu team;

Thank you for making our wedding the most magical and unforgettable day of my life. The wedding was everything I wanted: simple, classic and elegant. Working with you and your ladies was a pleasure from the beginning to the end.

You were a blessing during the planning process. I know how hard you worked to give us everything we wanted within budget, and you delivered more than I could have expected. You really understood who we were, what we wanted and brought our vision to life and embellished it with your own flair without overpowering our ideas. We really appreciate you making our unconventional ideas (like cheesecake!) work for the wedding, and all your vendor recommendations were wonderful!

The day of the wedding was stress-free, largely because of your team. I was completely relaxed knowing you would have the reception ready when the ceremony ended. Your team kept us on track so we didn’t miss or rush any precious moments. You were always there when we needed you: for a drink, for a safety pin, for a handkerchief – you and the team predicted our every need, were very discrete and provided such positive energy on such a long day! We wanted a fun, upbeat wedding, no tears on such a happy day, and you delivered one of the best parties I’ve ever had. What a relief it was to leave the reception knowing you would take care of the clean-up and the romantic honeymoon suite with the extra food was a touching surprise and the perfect end to the most unbelievable day.

The wedding was truly the most amazing day and I cannot think of a single thing that was less than perfect. I feel so lucky to have had your help, and to now have you in our life.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for everything.

All our love,

Carly & Jason


This wedding event for their families was an absolute joy to be a part of! I fell in love with Miss Carly and her mom, Liz, immediately! I have to say I do miss our weekly meetings and daily phone calls leading into the event ~ however ~ I know they will be a part of my families' life forevermore.

Again, these are the results we strive for and want at the end of it all. Complete happiness, bliss and joy and a fabulous launch into the road of being Mr. & Mrs. Everitt!

Oh yes everyone ~ be sure to be on the look out in 10 to 15 years +/- when they reach the address of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D.C.! Yes, you heard it here and read it here first.
