Highly Recommend

I give Allure Planning an A rating. Shonda was professional, engaging, and personable from the very first consultation. She listened and notated our ideas and chimed in when we wanted guidance. Shonda worked extremely well with all of our vendors. Almost all of our vendors came from her recommendations and they were a great fit for our wedding. I was very proud of the way she decorated as well. Area for improvement: I recommend expanding the team and using more assistants to ensure that all tasks are completed as planned. Outside of a couple easy fix hiccups, everything was beautiful. I highly recommend Allure Planning Services and would use their services again.

A Life Saver

Shonda was detailed, quick to follow up, professional and personable. She assured me every step of the way from 60 days out up until almost one month after my wedding date to ensure all my affairs were in order. Her team was helpful, very kind to my guests, and kept a natural flow to my wedding day. It was blissful. Hire her! If you think you don’t need a DOC, YOU DO. Especially her.

Shonda is simply incredible

Shonda was my day of coordinator and I couldn’t have been happier with my choice. She not only helped the day of, but leading up to the event as well. Shonda helped me remember small details like card boxes and champagne glasses on top of everything else she provides. My venue was breathtaking and she went above and beyond to set out my decorations and make sure everything was to my exact specifications. She was on time, thorough and extremely helpful. Not only that but she officiated our wedding. We got tons of compliments on how quick and wonderful the ceremony went. The reception was amazing and Shonda kept us on track and made sure we got everything we wanted. More than a handfull of people told me that this was the smoothest and nicest wedding they’d ever been to and that is in part because of Shonda.
