I am going to just start this off with that my husband and I got married in a cow pasture. Without Rachel we would have not been able to have the wedding of our dreams. We got married on my husbands family ranch...we had to bring absolutely everything that you could imagine to run a wedding venue into a cow pasture and we couldn't have done it without Rachel. She was there from Day 1 of wedding planning to the very last minutes of our wedding night to make sure everything was taken care of. She was there for numerous appointments meeting with vendors along with contacting vendors to bring in generators, water, police officers for parking, bathrooms, catering, floral, design set up, band and SO MUCH more. Rachel helped plan our entire wedding and didn't leave any little of big detail out and I know that this was not an easy wedding to do either considering how much had to be brought in to make it run smoothy! She made our ranch wedding magical and classy. I adore Rachel and have recommended here to just about anybody I know that is getting married. Thank you so much Rachel!

Rachel was amazing!! My husband and I live in Illinois and we knew we wanted a destination wedding but didn't know where to start. We came across Rachel's work and knew we had to hire her. She knew exactly what I wanted and made my dream wedding come true! Thank you Rachel!

Rachel McCurdy-Willems was the best decision we ever made regarding the wedding. From the moment we met with her she had our trust. She literally helped with all decisions and pulled together the most beautiful wedding. My husband and I had no idea about anything wedding related. Rachel took anything we discussed and brought it to life. Our wedding would not have been as amazing as it was without Rachel and her assistant the day of. If you are deciding on a wedding planner, it is a must, and going with AATR will make your wedding day one you can remember and enjoy to the fullest!!

I made a deal with my fiancé when we were planning our wedding that I would speak with 3 different companies about every service we would need, ensuring that we would find one that would fit our needs, style, and budget. I met with Lisa at a coffee shop, and from the beginning of our conversation, I knew this was she was who we were going to be using as our coordinator. Lisa was professional, caring, understanding, and gave her honest opinion. Lisa answered every question I had, which was a lot since I have never planned a wedding before. I would meet with her feeling overwhelmed and frustrated, and every time I would leave the meeting feeling organized and like I was on the right track. Lisa tied up all the lose ends of our wedding the month before and had everything run smoothly the day of. I’m the most hands-on person, and it was very difficult to let anyone take over, let alone a stranger. However, I could not have made a better choice. Lisa ran the smoothest, well organized wedding I’ve ever been in. It was the most perfect day, and I owe it to Lisa. I can not thank her enough, and the entire team from An Affair to Remember for making my wedding so magical.

How do you even begin to write a review for someone that gave you the best day of your life?

We were halfway through our planning process, and things weren’t working out with our original wedding planner. We needed someone to come in late in the game and pull out a miracle – take over vendor relationships, fill in the many missing chunks, and provide a vision for a complicated wedding.

My husband and I were planning our 250+ guest Central Florida wedding long-distance from Boston, with my mom’s help locally in Orlando, and we needed a team that was able to regularly communicate with us via Skype, phone, and email, and all the while helping my mom with on-the-ground tasks in Orlando. We were overwhelmed, to say the least. We found Lisa and Kristen in a panic while searching for a professional, well-respected team to take over the planning. We needed someone who was organized, with stellar communication skills, and willing to handle whatever freak-outs we threw their way. Lisa and Kristen were willing to take on the job and assured us it would be the stress-free process we had dreamed of.

Immediately, Lisa and Kristen reached out to our established vendors and began filling in all of the holes we had in the plan – lighting, rentals, linen, drape, etc. They pulled together a coherent vision for the whole weekend and involved all of our vendors to make sure that the full “team” executed our dream wedding flawlessly. Lisa and Kristen were responsive, flexible, and worked tirelessly to give us the day we envisioned.

On the day of the wedding, Lisa, Kristen, and their colleague Katie ran the show masterfully. Every small detail was under control and allowed me and my family to truly appreciate our special event. Everything was simply extraordinary – better than we could have ever imagined.

We could not imagine being in better, more capable hands. We are still overwhelmed with gratitude for Lisa, Kristen, and the entire AATR team.

Words cannot express how much Rachel with AATR meant to us on our wedding day. She has such a creative mind that took my book full of pictures and brought them to reality. After a few meetings and emails back and forth Rachel presented us with vendor and design options and helped us pick out everything we needed to bring our wedding ideas together. Rachel was extremely professional, always on time and organized. She managed all the vendors directly so that we never had to worry about coordinating when/where everyone needed to be. She organized our schedule for the day of the wedding, providing everyone involved with a printout of an itinerary, making the wedding day flow seamlessly. On the day of the wedding we did not have to lift a finger. Rachel not only coordinated it logistically, but her creative image brought every detail I had imagined to perfect completion. My friends and family were free to relax and enjoy themselves on our special day. Looking back I can honestly say that her services were the best money I spent at my wedding. Thanks to AATR we were actually able to relax and spend time celebrating our big day with our friends and family.

Kaylin from An Affair to Remember was absolutely amazing in helping us with our wedding! She was incredibly helpful and responsive throughout the planning process (even before our "month-of" service officially kicked in) and she made the day of our wedding go absolutely perfectly. She juggled sensitive family issues with ease throughout the day while also making our vision for the day come together perfectly. There was absolutely nothing she could have done better - we recommend Kaylin and the AATR team wholeheartedly!

At first, I was really on the fence about hiring a wedding planner. I really thought I could do it all on my own and be okay. I was SO wrong. I was a full-time student in a stressful grad school program and the last thing I had time to do was plan my dream wedding. We met with Lisa from an Affair to Remember and it was a perfect match. She listened to all our ideas and was able to add her input to make our wedding even better than we imagined. Lisa was on top of all our vendors and communicated with us often. She made us feel very included, even though my life was focused on my crazy clinical schedule. We even had 9pm phone conversations just to go over the details of the wedding. Our wedding was absolutely AMAZING. Our guests still talk about how beautiful (and fun!) our wedding was. We were able to actually enjoy our day without worrying about details. My bridesmaids all commented on how I was the "calmest bride" they have ever seen and I can thank Lisa for that. She took care of everything before, during, and after the event. Lisa and Kristen are truly amazing!

Hiring Rachel from An Affair to Remember was the BEST money I spent on my wedding. I truly mean it when I say nothing else that day would have been possible without her.

During the planning process, she really listened to my tastes/ideas and took them to a bigger and better place all while minding my budget. Having her there to help coordinate my floral planning appointment was SUCH a relief for what could have been a very daunting task.

As for the BIG day, worries will always come but she was a step ahead of me the whole time making sure everything was taken care of! My bridesmaids have all raved how easy and stress free the day was even for them! Everything we had worked so hard to plan turned out even BETTER than I had pictured. Rachel and A Girl and her Glitter even surprised me with an extra paper flower section because she knew one just wasn't going to be enough.

I am so grateful for all of Rachel's hard work. I would HIGHLY recommend her and An Affair to Remember to all future brides.

Look no further!! I couldn't imagine working with anyone but an affair to a remember. I personally worked with Rachel McCurdy-Willems who was referred to me by a friend. She went above and beyond my expectations and executed the wedding of my dreams perfectly. Rachel and AATR have so many contacts from the paper needs to linens. I found linens that I absolutely loved and she looked all over until she finally found them in California! She was constantly doing things like this for my husband and I. The whole time leading up to my wedding and the day of was stress free. Rachel is so easy to work with and is the best wedding planner.
