Eddie always seems to be a step ahead of everything. He is very detail oriented and makes sure any task set before him is accomplished the best it can be. I’ve seen first hand Eddie’s ability to adjust seamlessly to unanticipated challenges and changes which is a must in this industry.

Kadzo and Eddie anticipated everything we could possibly need without us even having to think about it and managed to help us stay within budget by using their vast network of contacts. I can’t stress enough how amazing they made this process, even while navigating a large cultural wedding. I can’t recommend the team enough!

Eddie and his team are top notch! They are super professional, very responsive, and have a great attention to detail, which is very important when planning any event. This kind of focus, level of detail, and great ideas is what results in a flawless event.

IMPACT Collective worked with us from the very beginning leading to a micro-wedding. They were flexible throughout all of the changes which made this process easy for us. We ended up having a beautiful micro wedding with only our parents and siblings, and we did not feel stressed the day of.

Eddie's passion for his work shines through in every detail. He possesses an incredible ability to listen and understand your vision, then translate it into a flawlessly executed event.

Eddie was very professional and had a strong sense of what he was looking to achieve and what it might take to have his goals met. He did his homework in understanding the different demographics of radio stations and types of media campaigns we could create. He defines the word “partner” by working with you to make sure that everyone is on the same page.

My husband and I had a last-minute cancellation with our original wedding planner and were rushing to find a new one. He came across Impact Collective and my whole experience with them couldn't have been more perfect. They took care of every single aspect of my wedding day so that I didn't have to worry about a thing.

IMPACT was very helpful for the day-of coordination of our wedding. They were responsive and took care of an emergency when we had some unexpected guests. They worked with the caterer to resolve this issue without any guests knowing about it and were great at managing our vendors.

IMPACT Collective did an outstanding job with our wedding. They found us an excellent but reasonably-priced venue and catering pair that we never would have found on our own. With detailed checklists, regular meetings, and their big network of vendors, they helped save us thousands of dollars.

I had Eddie as a partner to help with the logistics and planning of the NVBIA Great American Living Awards. He handled all aspects of the planning, logistics, client meetings, and partnership with professionalism, efficiency, and dedication. He was a pleasure to work with and I will definitely partner with him on future events.

“Eddie is very personable and a very creative thinker. His company did a great job for a large public event held at our mixed-used development, Village at Leesburg.”

“I have had the pleasure of knowing and working with Eddie for over 25 years. I have found him to be extremely detail-oriented, conscientious, and able to deliver on difficult promises. His business acumen aside, he has become a trusted friend over the years. I recommend him without reservation.”

testimonials jerry woods

“Great Collaboration! I've worked on several concerts and community events with Eddie Fam and IMPACT Collective. These events are like weddings, with a couple thousand guests and 60 pages of detailed rider. If he can handle these massive events with a personal touch, he can do the same and more for your wedding.”
