Great value, excellent service

We used An Affair to Remember for our rehearsal and day-of coordinator services for our wedding in June 2022. Jena and Audra were wonderful and provided exactly what we needed. Before the wedding, they were open and quick to answer any questions we had, including vendor recommendations and tipping quandaries. Unfortunately, Audra was ill and unable to attend the rehearsal/wedding, but Jena was able to step up and provide 5 star service nonetheless. At the rehearsal, she coordinated with the venue to ensure everything was set up appropriately. On the wedding day, when the weather prevented us from having our first look at our scheduled outdoor location, Jena contacted all of our vendors to let them know of the updated location. She helped our photographer coordinate family photos and wrangle family members, provided setup/cleanup at the venue, and did a whole lot more behind the scenes that I wasn’t even aware of–because isn’t that the point of having a wedding coordinator? We appreciated all of their hard work and would highly recommend them.

Great Coordination Team

We are so happy that we hired Jena and Audra. They are so professional and knowledgeable, and they took so much of the day-of stress off our shoulders. Jena did a great job helping us decide an order of events for the day, and then they both just made it happen. Audra even helped spot-clean my dress at one point! I'd highly recommend them!

Jena and Audra are professional, knowledgable, thorough, and thoughtful. The service they provide is absolutely invaluable and was critical to the success of our wedding. I am sad I won’t be able to continue working with them now that the wedding is over!

Jena and Audra did a wonderful job with our day of coordination. I could not have been happier with their services!

We hired Jena and Audra after a terrible experience with a wedding planner. I was very nervous to trust someone else, but after speaking with Jena and their former clients I knew they would be a good fit.

Jena and Audra are both down-to-earth, friendly, and extremely capable. Even though they only provided day of coordination services, they were more than happy to answer questions I had throughout my planning process. They always responded to any questions I had quickly. As the wedding neared, they handled all of the final details really well. I'm somewhat of a control-freak, and they were great about keeping me informed and never seemed frustrated with me double-checking on things :-)

Audra also handled all of our ceremony and reception stationary. She did an incredible job and her prices were super fair. I don't think we could have gotten such quality work for a lower price anywhere. I highly recommend asking about her design services!

The wedding went by perfectly. Jena and Audra both worked seamlessly behind the scenes to make everything run smoothly, and always seemed to be there if I needed them. I'm sure there were issues throughout the day, but I never noticed them or felt like I had to deal with anything thanks to them. I strongly recommend their services!

I loved working with Jena and Audra as day of wedding coordinators. Throughout the planning process they were available for my many questions and offered various recommendations for different vendors, always with prompt responses. They were immensely helpful during both the rehearsal and of course the day of the wedding. The wedding day becomes overwhelming quickly and our day would not have gone smoothly without them. I am so grateful we hired them and would highly recommend their services.

Jena & Audra were amazing to work with! They were so easy to get along with, were friendly, professional, diligent, and were so accommodating to our each and every need throughout the wedding planning process. Even though we only went with the day-of package, Jena was available throughout the entire planning period to consult & give advice on vendors and any/all details. They took the stress out of our wedding day and made sure everything was organized, thorough, seamless, and beautiful. I was so happy with An Affair to Remember and would highly recommend them if you are considering a day-of coordinator for your wedding. Thank you, Jena & Audra, for all of your help & effort – we really appreciate all of your hard work & dedication to our big day!

JENNA AND HER SISTER WERE AMAZING!!!

I interviewed a couple of other DOCs, but once a spoke with Jenna I felt the instant connection. They made me feel like they were family and I could entrust them with anything! When I interviewed other DOCs, some of them made more stressed and it wasn't even my wedding day. Jenna and her sister were special in that they would not say "no, that's out of my scope of duties" but isnstead took on the attitude like "yes, no problem!" What a relief to be able to trust them with anything and everything.

The week of the wedding Jenna will reach out to you and ask you all the details of your wedding including vendors and timeline. She executed everything perfectly and was on top of all the tiny details that even I hadn't thought about. On the day off, I remember completely forgetting about three things but she made sure to help me i.e getting flowers for Mother Mary, going to an ATM with my debit card and getting cash for my guitar group, and sending my sitting list to my venue. Their calm demeanor and don't worry about it attitude made my day so smooth that even all my family still say the day was like a fairytale <3

How could their company being called anything else? Sweet memories were made at our daughters wedding thanks to the calm, professional and patient service of Jena and Audra. We were able to relax, dance and watch our daughter have the day of her dreams! With every question we quickly heard "not a problem" and they weren't kidding. Nothing phases these ladies! Comforting beyond words to know they were on our team!

Jena and Audra from An Affair to Remember are both absolutely amazing! They made our wedding planning process stress free. We used them for Day of Wedding Coordination and it was the best decision we made. The day ran so smoothly and we both felt so relieved of any stress. I could not imagine our special day without them. The venue looked beautiful due to their extra touches. Thank you both again. I definitely recommend using them to ensure a perfect wedding day!
