Mrs. Sonya is awesome. She planned everything involving my Graduation party from beginning to end. She even surprised me with a big candy station which I am a candy fanatic, so it was on POINT. The food was great with plenty for seconds and thirds, the DJ kept us on the floor the entire time (way to go DJ), and decorations were Perfect. Mrs. Sonya really did an amazing job, the ceiling were draped and the walls were decorated beautifully not to mention the center piece for my table which was huge and Gorgeous which I have in my living room showing it off. I would like to give a big shout out to It’s ALL About YOU and everything they have done to make my day a special one.

I wanted to provide my father with a retirement party and had zero ideas. I reached out to Sonya and her team and the evening was exceptional! She suggested a theme event which really made everything stand out even more. All of the guests raved about how there were so many little personable details that made the room amazing. A special thanks to her staff for making sure the drinks were full at all times for guests and for taking care of things that were probably outside of their realm (i.e. Teaching my great aunt how to do the "Wobble"). Thanks again "It's all About U"! Flawless evening and thank you for making this milestone for my father even more special.

May 12, 2012 was a day my husband & I will never forget!! It was everything & more that we visioned it would be. We were told by guest that they felt as if they were at a Tyler Perry wedding!! We wanted it to begin at 4 pm & at 3:59 pm the music was playing & the wedding party was in line & ready!! Fabulous Day for the Besteder's, our families & guest!! A slogan Sonya McKinstry & staff definitely lives by "It's All About U"!!

The name says, "It's All About You", is a premier organization, the designer is brilliant, friendly, and most of all professional. When I met with the Planner, Mrs. McKinstry, we sat and discussed the theme, colors, and my desire for those attending to experience. I walked out of the meeting feeling confident; this person truly knew her business. Everyone talks about the "wow factor" I have experienced it! Because I walked in the venue and viewed my dream, it was awesome, breathtaking, and spectacular, as I stood in awe, along with every guess attending the event. You want the best; I suggest It?s All About You!

Five Stars in all categories.

Sonya was amazing and she made our wedding day very memorable. She was always available when I needed her. She was patient, understanding and caring especially when I wasn't. Her staff was very professional during my planning, wedding and reception. If I had to do it all over again I would chose "It's All About U" Wedding Coordination and Event Planning.

"It's all about U" Wedding Planning is the best thing I could have went with. Sonya wa outstanding and so was her husband. She gave me the wedding of my dreams and people are still talking about it now. She was always avaliable and when crisis came up on the last week before the wedding Sonya handle everything with class. If you are on a budget and want the wedding that you thought you couldnt have Sonya is the one to count on, even if you are not on a budget. I would recommend Sonya and her staff to anyone getting married she is the best.

We were absolutely thrilled with the results of our wedding. It was a dream come true for both of us and we could not have done it without "It's All About U" Wedding Coordination and Event Planning! Sonya was organized, innovative and down to earth. She wasted no time in listening to what we wanted and working on making our wishes come true. We were impressed from the day she welcomed us into her home to begin planning to the day she delivered our wedding photos. During the wedding planning, we met with Sonya several times to go over details and she provided us with a planning timeline, which we found very comforting. We never had to wonder about what to do next. We frequently e-mailed one another with questions ranging from details about the ceremony to reception and decoration ideas. Sonya also helped us deal with natural wedding fears and frustrations. The title “It’s All About U” says it all because it was indeed all about us!

I highly recommend It's all about you and s/d video. When it's your special day, You do not want to become a stressed out "bridezilla" Sonya and her staff took all our worries away. Our wedding was very well organized, beautiful, Christmas and Cinderella wedding. They brought very unique ideas and the decorations were platinum (amazing)! She brings years or experience and knowledge. I can truly say that we would not have had it any other way! It is the best decision a nervous bride can make. Pam and Tyrone McCollins

My husband and I hired It's All About U to coordinate and decorate our daughter's wedding. This was our first child's wedding and we were clueless as to the what, where and how. I must say that it was the best decision we made for a flawless day for her. Sonya handled every aspect of her big day and all we had to worry about was being on time, because starting on time was heavily stressed at the wedding rehearsal.

Periodic meetings were scheduled and held to keep a timeline of things to be completed such as - sending out correspondences to the wedding party; sending out save the date notices, invitations, etc.; food and cake tastings; tablescape selection; updates on chosen vendors and of course, keeping our payment schedule. The action plan she implemented really kept us all on point and informed.

She will definitely be our choice for our next big day!!!!
