Terrica helped with the day-of, or really month-of coordinating for my wedding. She and her team were amazing in making sure everything went smoothly and I didn't have to worry about a thing. You can absolutely trust your day in her hands. She worked well with all my vendors and event venue. She is hands down the BEST for making sure your day is perfect! All of the documents she made - VIP timelines and the Event Dossier were beautiful and thought out to make sure everything went perfectly. Thank you Terrica and team!

My husband and I live in Virginia and got married on St. Simons Island, GA. Being farther away, it was really important to us that we had trustworthy and responsive vendors in Georgia who could answer questions when needed. We also were looking for a team to do day-of coordinating. That way, our guests could enjoy the island and not spend their time helping us set up.

Let me tell you - Cocktails & Details not only met our expectations, they went above and beyond. Terrica and Colleen stayed in touch with us throughout the whole process and helped us create a flawless day-of production timeline. Being from the DC area where everyone (including myself) are a little high strung, I sometimes got frustrated with the good ole southern/island time/I'll-get-to-it-when-I-get-to-it attitude that many of our vendors took. Cocktails & Details were the exact opposite and were BY FAR the most responsive and professional of all of our vendors. I so so so appreciated that!

The day of our wedding, we had one small hiccup. One of our trolleys broke down and couldn't pick up our guests on time. By the time the wedding party arrived at the reception, Terrica had already researched 3 different transportation companies to pick up our guests at the end of the evening, spoken to my parents, and booked one for the end of the night. I didn't have to lift a finger or even worry.

To add the cherry on top, Terrica and Colleen are basically the cutest ever. They have that combination of sweet and doting, yet will get to business and get REAL serious if need be.

Hire these people! They are incredible!

We had a big ethnic celebration/destination wedding that was full of details of my husband’s heritage (Indian) and religious traditions from mine (Spanish). We interviewed several wedding planners both American and Indian and we were most impressed with Cocktails and Details. They were very knowledgeable, prompt with communications and so easy to get along with. Because of this, we actually hired their entire team to handle our wedding day and the Sangeet and Mehendi days before the wedding to make sure we had a professional planner at the helm of each event. With over 30 vendors and 375 guests, they executed our wedding perfectly. We had a mix of vendors that were local and some flown in from New Delhi, Atlanta, New York and Orlando and so many of them told us how they were so impressed with Terrica and her team. Even my VERY hard to please mother-in-law was so happy with them that she brought them custom saris to wear for the wedding! If you have a wedding that is high end and high production, you cannot go wrong with these wedding planners. They know what they are doing and how to get things done.

I knew one thing when my fiance proposed; we needed to get a wedding planner to keep from losing my mind. We are both doctors and don't have the time to spend on trying to coordinate everything ourselves without having a breakdown.

I got a recommendation for this company from a friend of my sister's who had recently used them. Her wedding turned out perfectly, so I spoke to them and wound up hiring them.

Throughout the 14 months we were engaged, our planner made the entire process fun and stress-free. We were actually relaxed about some of the big decisions. She took care of all of the details, large and small. Nothing was forgotten, since she knew the right questions to ask to figure out what we wanted. She was really reliable and never overwhelmed us.

Our wedding was absolutely perfect; she thought of everything and acted as a buffer between us and our vendors. I would recommend her to anyone.

If you are looking for a team of friendly, knowledgeable, and FABULOUS planners this is the company for you! From start to finish working with Cocktails & Details was a complete dream. In a recent interview for a bridal blog I was asked what advice I would give to future brides, that was simple. Ladies making an investment with the right wedding planner was worth every penny. The expertise and professionalism was top notch, and I honestly could not have imagined my wedding going 1/2 as smooth without these ladies! A million thank you's will truly never be enough for making sure I had the wedding of my dreams! I highly recommend this company, they truly make every event fabulous.

If you are planning a wedding near the Golden Isles you must use them! My husband and I could never thank Terrica enough for the unbelievable job she did. From day one (a year before my wedding) I knew she was my perfect match because she was VERY quick to respond. I could always contact her with questions big or small and she would always provide her opinion and keep my stress level at a minimum. I did not raise one finger the day of my wedding because she took care of it all. She even somehow tamed the flower girl and ring bearer to sit still and ran up with them when it was their turn to walk. I even had trouble bustling my dress with my bridesmaids and Terrica was on the concrete on her bare knees (pregnant and all) making sure my dress looked perfect. My husband and I cannot say enough good things about Terrica and my family absolutely loved her as well. Thanks for everything, Terrica. You are truly amazing!!

I have a career... What can I say? I have already planned one wedding in my life. The second time around, I was doing it the right way; and I did! With Cocktails and Details. I did not have one ounce of worry the entire planning period. And during our special evening, I experienced nothing but bliss! These people know what they're doing. That's the best way I can describe them! If I had to do it all over again (and let's hope I'll never have to), I'd hire them again in a heartbeat!

I am not sure if I could put into words how beautiful my wedding day was. We wanted something really simple but elegant and glamorous. What the team came up with was the most amazing design, ideas and concepts I had ever seen. My husband (then fiancé) even enjoyed planning with them, which was rare because he never got involved with anything regarding the wedding before. They made him feel needed and involved, and by the time it was all said and done, the four of them created a themed buffet and bar that looked like something straight out of a Parisian bistro in the 1940s. I had some overbearing family members who were HIGHLY opinionated on how our wedding should be and they stressed me out to no end because it seemed like they just could not be pleased. Once again Terrica came to the rescue by coming up with specific areas they could help and they loved it! She really knows how to bring the best out of people whether it's the vendors, family, etc. If you are planning a destination wedding with them, you will love their process. I always felt like they were right at my fingertips either by email, phone, or their app. I kind of felt like a celebrity because I had such an awesome team devoted to me who really cared about making my day special, what I thought and wanted, and really making my wedding a success. Which it most certainly was.

We hired Cocktails & Details to plan my daughter's wedding last May. It was a wonderful experience. They helped us find all the vendors we needed and were perfectly matched. The team they built for us pulled off the most stunning wedding that went beyond my imagination. The design process was nothing short of amazing. Even with a few hiccups caused by the weather, they came up with some creative solutions that in everyone's opinion made the wedding even better. I recommend them to every bride and mother of the bride for an very easy, professional but fun process.

Cocktails and Details has to be the best wedding planning company in the St. Simons/Jekyll Island area. We did our research and interviewed a few planners as far as Jacksonville to take on our cultural wedding. We finally settled on Terrica because she was extremely detail oriented. What she lacked in knowledge about our specific cultural ceremony traditions and requirements, she learned and researched, which really impressed my husband. She even went as far as to hold a session with us and her colleague on the west coast who did have great experience with doing our type of weddings. I think what really made us feel comfortable during the planning was that our vendors were so comfortable and spoke so highly of her. When it came time for the details to be pulled all together, I do not believe there is another master of logistics like her. From what I heard from the florist her timelines are something of legend LOL! The wedding went just the way we planned in our consultations and therefore like we anticipated. Our guests had a great time and spoke about how great Terrica and Lauren were. My mom remarked that before she could think to ask them for something or ask if something was done, they were already there with the job completed. She was really able to relax and just be my mom, which was important to me. That's what you get when you hire Cocktails and Details. I would recommend them highly to brides and grooms.
