Working with Beverly Andrews at Engaging Celebrations was an amazing experience. From the day we met Beverly I knew the entire wedding experience would be wonderful. She is made everything stress free and her primary goal was to make sure we were happy, had a great time and had everything we wanted. She is full of creative ideas to make the wedding experience very personal. I highly recommend her to anyone planning a wedding.

Every bit of our experience with our planner from Engaging Celebrations was so very positive! She really made our special day fun and relaxing for everyone involved! Her interaction with our vendors and the schedules and budget makers she provided us with her invaluable. I would absolutely recommend them!

Beverly Andrews with Engaging Celebrations saved my sanity last year! Soon after I got engaged, I began a very hectic and stressful second year of dental school. Beverly helped me stay on track of everything I needed to do in order to have the wedding of my dreams. She is extremely organized and provided me with weekly emails and monthly spreadsheets and to-do lists. She was always a shoulder to lean on whenever I had a problem and was more than willing to help in any way when I simply could not find the time to do things for the wedding. Beverly definitely delivered when it came down to the day of the wedding. She made sure I had nothing to worry about other than enjoying my very special day. The wedding was amazing and everything went as planned .... thanks to Beverly, it was by far the best day of my life! She became a dear friend throughout my engagement and I am happy to have had her share my special day with me.

When I woke up on the day of my wedding, I got a text from Neki Garrett (wedding coordinator extraodinaire) checking to see how I was doing. I told her that it felt like christmas (and the day hadn't really even started yet)! My wedding day was the most beautiful and perfect day of my life and I have Neki to thank for working so hard to make it that way. Neki went above and beyond when it came to my needs for the wedding. She helped me pick outmy vendors and everyone she recommended were top notch! She kept me on track and was always checking in to remind me of the little things. She was a lovely person to be around and I definitely consider her a friend now :) I didn't have to worry about a thing on my wedding day. Neki made itineraries for all my vendors and even my wedding party... she had everything planned to the last detail so that on the day of my wedding all I had to do was show up. Neki wrapped up my wedding day up like a big present on christmas and I love her for it!

I'm not quite sure where we would be right now if it weren't for Beverly Andrews at Engaging Celebrations. Maybe married ... maybe not. Either way, I know for a fact that our wedding weekend would have been a lot more stressful and a lot less fun. We had a shorter-than-usual engagement, but from our first consultation, Beverly had us back on track and on schedule. She was diligent about checking in with us and making sure we had everything we needed. And on top of all the pre-wedding planning help, she made sure that our wedding day allowed for plenty of memorable moments that we will have with us always. And because Beverly did all the thinking for us, we could relax and have a blast on our wedding day. And contrary to many couples we have talked to, we actually REMEMBER our wedding day. Kudos all around to Beverly and Engaging Celebrations.

Neki was my savior for my wedding, she helped pick up afterwards, she took all my gifts to my room, she helped me when I was about to break down. If I had to do it all over again I would most definitely use Neki. Thank you Neki!!!

Our wedding planner, Beverly Andrews, truly made our wedding as seamless as possible! It felt magical how she always stayed three steps ahead of schedule enabling us to never feel rushed when making decisions! She was a true professional when it came to working with vendors and so easy to talk to during out meetings.

As the bride, Beverly never wanted me to experience anything but happiness and joy during the entire process. For that reason, any time my mother or I would run into a bump in the road, I simply notified Beverly and she took care of it in a flash! She was always there to help!

Everyone said that my wedding day would fly by, barely recalling what I did or who I saw. Au contraire! Beverly’s trademark is to create special moments for me and my family along the way and they did just that! On my wedding day I took those precious moments with my family and fiancé that everyone else would have neglected to take. So thanks to Beverly I have the best wedding gift of all, a lifetime of beautiful memories!

I had many challenges in planning a wedding in Alabama all the way from Arizona and only five months to do so. One thing I knew - I had to be organized from the start and had to be careful in choosing my vendors. I was bless with them all and especially Neki Garrett of Engaging Celebrations. I immediately knew I was in good hands by Neki's professionalism. Not only does she have the sophistication but she has a law degree!!!! My worries with contracts were over and I knew she would know how to keep me on track. My daughter wanted a romantic and formal wedding but also a fun one. We had it all. It was magical!! Neki helped me the entire journey and gave me check lists to made sure every detail was in order. The best part is that I DID NOT WORRY. I got to enjoy my daughter's wedding and my guest. Neki kept a time table that was absolutely unbelieveable!!! Every move was chorographed and carried out with precision. This wedding would not have been as wonderful without Neki. It just doesn't get any better than her!!!

Catherine Franklin at Engaging Celebrations helped me to pull together the best day of my life. With a limited budget, she recommended vendors that were very good, but also within my budget. She was also very encouraging during the times when I thought there was no way to get this done. Her creative ideas brought in the special touches that made our day unique. I will forever be greatful to her.

There is no possible way that I could have lived out all my dreams for my wedding without the help of Beverly Andrews of Engaging Celebrations. She was an absolute blessing and truly went above and beyond our expectations. There was never a stone left unturned and was always there for me.

Engaging Celebrations made my dreams come true and never have I attended a wedding that was run so smoothly. Any bride would be more than pleased with their services. Highly recommended is an understatement...!!!

Words cannot describe how wonderful it was working with Catherine Franklin, from Engaging Celebrations, to plan my wedding. Catherine helped me meet the most incredible vendors and was there to help me plan every step of the way. She was so kind, encouraging, creative, and laid back. Because of her, I had the wedding that I had always dreamt of. Everything, from the ice sculpture to the Christmas Carolers, was fairytale perfect! Catherine's organization skills kept me ahead of schedule so that I could enjoy the last few months of my engagement. Most important to me, Catherine is a woman of faith who inspired me during my journey to become the best wife I could be. There is no way my wedding day could have been more perfect, and I know it's because of Catherine's help. Hiring her was the best "wedding" decision I made.....other than saying yes to my groom, of course!!!

I couldn't have pulled off planning a wedding in four months if it wasn't for Neki with Engaging Celebrations! She was so kind, helpful and calming to a worried, stressed out bride. I am the type of person who likes to plan everything and be in control of everything but I am so thankful I turned over that control to Neki because for once I could enjoy being in the moment and didn't have to worry about anything! My wedding day was perfect, not only because I was getting married to the man of my dreams but because I knew Neki had everything under control. Catherine was a great help the day of the wedding as well! Both of them are so kind and easy to get along with, all of the bridal party and our parents really enjoyed working with them. Everyone was also so impressed with the job they did and how smoothly things went. From now on when anyone asks me for wedding advice, I highly suggest them for a wedding planner just so that they can enjoy their wedding and leave the stress to Engaging Celebrations!

As the Mother of the Bride our experience with Engaging Celebrations was fantastic. From the minute Beverly said "I will take care of it" she left no detail to chance taking all the worry out of the planning process.

Their professionalism and ability to adapt in each situation was a lifesaver allowing her Fatherin and I the opportunity to enjoy her Big Day.

I love Engaging Celebrations! Neki Garrett was my personal coordinator and she was absolutely wonderful. She helped keep me on track and when I didn't things were getting done she reassured me that things were fine. She was always willing to help me in the planning process, anything from recommending vendors to suggestions on how to solve problems. If she didn't have the answers then she would consult her colleagues who were always willing to help. They worked together as a team to make sure my day seemed flawless and wonderful. If there were problems, I didn't know about them and I could not have asked for a more perfect day. She worked well with the vendors, some she had worked with on several occassions and for others it was her first time but I can honestly say that she and her colleagues were nothing but professional and honest. The day went smoothly and I didn't have to worry about anything because I knew that Neki would take of any issues that would arise. I felft confident in my choice as a wedding planner and knew I could trust her to do what was best for me. Neki and Catherine my day perfect!

I have so many great things to say about Engaging Celebrations that I don't know where to start. Neki Garrett was my personal consultant and she was absolutely the best. She was so organized and kept me on track with everything from the budget to buying a garter. When I met Beverly she followed suit and was just as helpful with everything. They made me feel like nothing could go wrong, and if it did it wouldn't reach my attention to spoil our day. My family and friends were so impressed with the professionalism and positivity that came along with working with this group that some of my bridesmaids have already hired them for there future weddings :-) I could go on and on about how wonderful Engaging Celebrations is but that would take forever. They made our day the best it could be and I feel like I made some wonderful friends in the process. Thank you so much for everything you guys did for us.
