Wonderful!

Sharon was absolutely wonderful! She was attentive and thorough. She made sure the planning process was as effortless as possible. The wedding day was amazing and I didn’t have to worry about a thing.

Highly recommended!

My wife and I used Sharon's wedding planning services, An Affair to Remember, for our May 2019 wedding in Reading, PA.

Sharon was such an asset during the planning stages and helped in making some tricky decisions leading up to our wedding. With so many moving parts and things to think about, her assistance and support was extensive and much appreciated. Her communication was excellent and always timely. Nothing was delayed or became "past due" on the checklist, she kept on top of everything.

When the big day came, Sharon proved invaluable. She was able to keep track of the timeline precisely, coordinate with our vendors, supervise the setup and cleanup, not to mention the intangible things like managing our emotions and keeping people where they needed to be and when they needed to be there.

We genuinely appreciate her services and wouldn't like to think what the process would have been like without her. We would highly recommend her services to anyone in need!

Sharon is a Professional wedding planner!

Sharon was really professional and she had lots of experiences so we could have a perfect wedding day even though we only met her online before the wedding day. We were planning from another country, but she tried to fit in our schedule even though we were 12 hours ahead. She recommended us some vendors and arranged appointments with them. It was very helpful.

Just want we needed...

We held our ceremony outdoors, in a space rented at a public park, and really needed someone to keep things in order on the day of the ceremony - make sure people are in the right places, on time, etc, etc. Sharon provided just that, kept everything in line, and helped ensure the day went off without problem!

Sharon was amazing!!!!

I was an extremely anxious bride. I have really bad anxiety without any wedding stress, so I knew I'd need help with wedding planning. From the get go, Sharon was so helpful and knowledgeable. I was having a hard time finding a venue due to wanting a liquor-free reception. Sharon pointed me in the direction of the perfect venue. Same with photographer. Ditto for most of my other vendors, with whom I was so pleased. If I had a question, she had a prompt answer. She helped me keep track of everything that needed to be done through the year leading up to my wedding. On my wedding day, EVERYTHING was completely smooth. If there were any issues from the time the ceremony started to the time the reception ended, she handled them quietly and efficiently because from my perspective as the bride, everything went off without a hitch. I was so worried, but I had no reason to, because I had Sharon. I am so grateful for all her help and cannot speak anything but positively about her and my experience.

AMAZING! Worry free! Excellent!

Sharon was amazing through the whole wedding process. She met with us multiple times throughout the planning process making sure we had thought of every detail and everything was in order. She set up a hotel block for our guests and when we noticed some of our guests had booked outside of our block because their triple A discount was a better price then our block Sharon took charge and told us not to worry and she would take care of it. That was an understatement Sharon called and got the hotel to agree to give everyone the discount and not let the numbers affect our block so we didn’t get charged extra. The day before the wedding Sharon also told us that if there were any issues or little hiccups to go straight to her and she would take care of it and our only job for that day was to enjoy each other and the day itself and she delivered!

Ultimate Wedding Planner

Hands down she is the best wedding planner/company out there. We worked with Sharon and I cannot rave enough about her. Her professionalism, attention to detail, work ethic, amazing personality, and how she dealt with all the vendors and my family was PERFECT. We felt in such great hands with her and because of her the wedding was AMAZING and PERFECT and more than I could have ever asked for. She thought of everything and then some and had everything done, planned, and perfectly organized the entire time. If you are looking for a wedding planner, look no further. Sharon with An Affair to Remember IS THE BEST AND YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!

Having Sharon was such a relief. At the time I was in the process of changing jobs, buying a new home, renovating our new home and getting married. We were overwhelmed with everything and didn’t know where to turn. Thankfully, we found out about Sharon from one of our friends weddings and decided to utilized her services. From begin to end she was such a big help. She help recommend businesses who could help with everything from the flowers to venues and even our officiant. Many of which we would have never know about from anyone else. When meeting with the vendors she was very thorough and made sure they were giving us the best deal and make sure they met our expectations. We would meet with her on a regular basis to make sure we were on track and make sure we had everything taken care of. Then the day of the wedding came and it was like we didn’t need to think of anything. Her and her assistant would tell us exactly where we need to be, when we needed to be there and what to do. People talk about the wedding day being stressful and that is something I could say I never felt. The day went flawlessly and had many guest say that “ it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to” we had a great time and would recommend her services to any couple who is preparing to get married.

Sharon was an absolutely unbelievable asset to have. My wife and I are from a different state but wanted to have our wedding in PA. Sharon got us in touch with everyone we needed and was always in our corner helping us along the way with timelines and what things we should have done by what time. I would definitely recommend using Sharon as your wedding planner if you are getting married in the area.

I can't say thank you enough. It seemed like I didnt have a care in the world on my wedding day when it came to timing and vendors. I got to enjoy the whole day. She had the best recommendations as well and is so knowledgeable. Everyone we worked with was a dream and it was thanks to her! Sharon handled everything and I was so calm in the months and weeks leading into our big day. We were from out of state in CT and hardly had to make any trips to PA everything went off without a hitch despite her facing many many challenges from family dynamics, to the distance and more she handled each one with professionalism and grace. I have a chronic illness and keeping low stress levels for me is key. In the last year I had been seriously ill and she managed everything above and beyond my expectations. My wedding was a dream come true!!!!
