AmaZing experience

From start to finish Shamika had excellent communication skills and was very responsive and on top of everything. I initially tried to plan my wedding myself and it was not easy. Shamika came highly recommended and I was not disappointed at all.

Flawless Coordination!

I chose Calandra as my month of coordinator and she and her assistant made sure that our day went smoothly. She is very responsive and thorough in all that she does. All of our vendors enjoyed working with her. She made sure that we did not have a worry, and we truly enjoyed our special day. I would definitely recommend her services!

Calandra was the best!! We started planning about 20 months out and she kept us organized and on schedule! She helped us make every decision, made sure we picked the right Vendors and stayed within our budget. We had a few rough patches the week of the wedding but she smoothed everything out and the wedding continued as planned! Our wedding was perfect and I wouldn't have changed anything. Our guest keep talking about how fun and beautiful our wedding was. Calandra made sure we were stress free on our wedding day and that was worth every penny to me!

Ms. Terry did a beautiful job in preparing our wedding. By me being the groom all we had to do was show up on time. I would highly recommend her services for anyone getting married.

An Event To Remember,

PLANNING

Roughly a week or two after the engagement, I googled wedding planners in the Huntsville Area and An Event To Remember website surfaced. I decided to give Calandra a call which lead to our 1st meeting.
After less than 10 min, I could tell that she was going to be the best fit for myself and Justin. Calandra was very organized and I was able to see some of her past events. The pictures blew my mind and I was very excited to start the process. The next step was figuring out her cost of service and when she told me I kinda panicked a bit....... but let me say this her services were well worth the money and I would advise the bride to be if you can afford please hire An Event To Remember because they will make your day run so smoothly! During the process, Calandra connected me to the numerous professional vendors throughout the Huntsville Area. It was so nice because she connected the vendors directly and I didn't have to worry about a thing...

WEDDING DAY

If I could do it all over again I wouldn't change a thing. It was absolutely Beautiful :) The amazing purple and silver candy buffet, photo booth ( was a HiT... even the grandparents took photos), the lounge area, and the lovely decor. Our guest loved the event and it was definitely " A EVENT TO REMEMBER" several of them even mentioned that they event was the best wedding that they ever attended and that overall they had an awesome time - Most importantly so did I, Justin, and our parents.

RECOMMENDATION

If you can afford to get a wedding planner please hire AN EVENT TO REMEMBER.......

Our family chose to use Calandra Terry of An Event to Remember for our wedding planner after interviewing a number of other planners. From the outset, we noticed that Calandra had impeccable credentials. When we met with her she thoroughly explained and presented every detail of what she could do to help us with our event. She was informative and articulate, however, very down to earth and extremely likable. She explained things to us on our level, leaving us with a feeling of great confidence and excitement. She did not try to sway our decisions, but offered us excellent advice concerning the vendors who would be best suited for our needs. She was always positive, never ruffled and responded in a timely manner to all of our calls/inquiries. To all brides who are reading this, you need Calandra (although you may not know you need her), I'm here to tell you that you do. When we had the wedding, everything was taken care of several weeks in advance because of Calandra's excellent planning strategies. We had a family medical emergency a couple of weeks before the wedding, so this was a godsend to us that she had everything well under control. (I cannot say enough good about the vendors we had who were the best I've ever seen.) Calandra is a professional who is extremely qualified, knowledgeable and has a network of excellent vendors in this area and you will love her personality. She will calm you, assure you, help you, guide you and you will be stress-free throughout the whole planning process. The hardest thing I had to do was to come to the realization that I really didn't have to worry about anything, because Calandra handled it all and made it look easy. Her services are worth far more than she charges, so please realize that you will have nothing but fond and pleasant memories of your wedding or special event and you will reminisce about it for days, months and years to come. She is the best, in my opinion, and close enough to perfect for me.

Where do I begin?! If it would not have been for Calandra Terry, my wedding would not have taken place. My mother and I both work full time and needed someone to help us wrangle all of our wedding details together. After we interviewed several candidates, we decided to go with Calandra because of her experience and network of vendors. She made us a budget and a to-do list that she updated regularly, keeping us on the tasks most important for each step in the journey to walking down the aisle! She worked with our schedules (even during football season) to meet when we were available, whether it was after work or on just a few Saturdays.

Two weeks before my wedding, I became very sick and needed to be hospitalized. Because of Calandra, all of the planning was finished with the exception of a few very minor details! I was able to concentrate on getting better, and I knew that everything else was already handled! On the day of, we had a timeline to follow that allowed us to coordinate everyone's actions, even all the vendors. I never had to worry about the details, from glassware to order of events to crowd control. I WOULD NEVER GET MARRIED WITHOUT A PLANNER!!! Thank you Calandra!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
