Highly Recommend AETR!!!

We are so thankful for Shamika and her team for making sure our special day ran as smoothly as possible. Shamika was an excellent day of coordinator, and I cannot imagine the day running as smoothly as it did without her. My husband and I appreciated all of the resources she had for us. My husband and I were able to fully enjoy the day because we knew everything was taken care of.

Above and beyond wedding planning and coordination!

We found Shamika because our venue required a day-of coordinator, but we ended up using her partial-planning package for our wedding and couldn't be happier. Shamika gave us recommendations for our DJ, lighting, dessert, transportation, hotel, and HAMU vendors, and managed the contracts for all of our other vendors as well. She helped us pace ourselves so we weren't overly stressed but also not rushed at the end.

Shamika built our day-of timeline and communicated it in advance with all of our vendors to make sure everything went smoothly. Both of us got to enjoy our whole wedding day, and it was only after the fact that we learned some of the other vendors had little hiccups (traffic delays, vendors needing to go back to get forgotten items, etc.) - Shamika did a flawless job shielding us from the chaos of the day.

She did a great job gauging the guests and adjusting on the fly when we decided to do the cake cutting and bouquet toss earlier than originally planned.

Antonio assisted Shamika with the wedding day and he is awesome! He was instrumental in helping us corral our wedding party so that we could get portrait photos done without interruptions - the bouncer we never expected we'd need, but were so glad we had! Antonio and Shamika also served us our dinner and made sure we always had water and a drink in front of us.

Tramaine put in a ton of work helping us find hotel options and getting our room block in place. She continued to follow up with the hotel to get our final guest list, and helped us coordinate shuttle transportation from the hotel.

Our wedding wouldn't have been anywhere near what it was without Shamika and her team!

An Even to Remember, made my wedding just that!

Book An Event to Remember as your wedding event staff, NOW!!! There is no way we could have gotten through our wedding day without this AMAZING team!

Our guests could not stop raving about the kind greetings, gestures and compliments the staff were giving throughout our big day!

The staff helped setup all of our table linens and centerpieces, completed a mid-event flip where 200 chairs needed to be brought inside from the ceremony area along with bussing tables and hauling the trash out to the dumpster.

An Event to Remember ensured to leave the venue in it’s original state before the wedding which ultimately helped us get our deposit from the venue back.

If you are looking for event staff to not only provide event support but leave your guests with a wonderful experience, then book with An Event to Remember! You will not regret it!!!

Communicative and Great! Book ASAP!

Please pick An Event to Remember if you are looking for an alcohol vendor! I kid you not, we booked An Event to Remember the week before our wedding because our first alcohol vendor was unreliable and Shamika took care of us immediately and helped us get everything we needed to ensure we could have alcohol served at our wedding! We were so stressed out but working with Shamika took this stress off of us immediately. She cares about her clients and had our best interest in mind. A great and communicative vendor to work with and we had a perfect wedding with her help!

Great Company!

Shamika and her team went above and beyond to make my daughter's wedding day run smoothly. From the start, I knew we were in good hands with An Event to Remember. Shamika was very responsive and helpful during the planning process. When the big day arrived, we were pleased to find the staff and bartenders were knowledgeable, efficient and friendly! I highly recommend using An Event to Remember for your staffing and bartending needs!

Amazing planner!

Shamika swooped in last minute to help plan my wedding and I couldn't have been more grateful for her!!! She was always on top of things and I never felt like I had to worry. I knew I was in good hands with Shamika! She was only my "day of" planner but she went above and beyond to help me prepare even before my wedding day. My wedding would not have turned out the way it did without Shamika and her crew there to help! I loved her energy and I am so grateful for the work she did! I highly recommend hiring Shamika for your event planning!

Partial Planning & Bartending

Shamika was our saving grace - I was planning a conference which took place the weekend before my wedding, and she helped the wedding be the easier of the two events by her patience, insight, and answering panicked phone calls and texts about any little detail. As for the bar service - we could not have been happier - the staff was so professional and made top notch drinks for our guests.

The Best Decision EVER!

At first I was only interested in pricing for day of coordination but once I met Shamika over FaceTime, I knew she was our girl and that the partial planning package was exactly what I needed. She gained my trust immediately and honestly, I do not know what we would have done without Shamika in our corner. Her skills, candor, hustle, creativity, resources, connections and professionalism are unmatched. All of our wedding party and family were so impressed by her and her team (we hired bartending services through her as well). Planning a wedding is already stressful, and add ever changing pandemic conditions to that?! LORD....too much. Shamika was there every step of the way with us, communication was on point from start to finish. Although, I saw her and her teams hustle and grind the day of the wedding, I was relaxed in knowing that she had complete control over it all. Our wedding day was seamless; we cannot recommend Shamika and An Event To Remember ENOUGH!

Best Wedding Planner Around!

When we first met with Shamika from An Event To Remember, we knew we were in great hands! She completely understood our wedding vision, and there was this instant connection. The more we spoke about our dream wedding, we would get more and more excited because we knew Shamika would be able to pull it all together! She knew exactly what vendors we should work with, and she made the entire wedding planning process fun and seamless. We had the perfect wedding, and we know this wouldn’t have been possible without An Event To Remember! Look no further because this is the event planner you need in your life! Thank you for everything! - Alfonzo & Johnny

Amazing Service!

We used An Event To Remember for bartending services and I would give them 10 stars if I could! We worked with Shamika to plan our bar menu, which included beer, wine, cocktails and two amazing specialty drinks: the Lavender Moscow Mule and the Rosemary Bourbon Sour. The specialty drinks were a hit, and Shamika was able to garnish our drinks with lavender sprigs, provided by us, and rosemary sprigs, provided by her team. We had almost 200 guests at our wedding and they provided excellent service. We also had a whiskey & cigar bar at our wedding and they were able to use one of the bartenders for that specialty bar - it was amazing! The planning process throughout our engagement was so easy and we always felt like we were in great hands. We had a Zoom meeting to make sure we got exactly what we wanted, and Shamika also met us at our venue and helped us determine the best spots to put the bars. She also ordered all of our alcohol through Specs and made sure it was delivered for us, so we didn't have to worry about it. Hire Shamika - you will not regret it!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
