Such a great experience!!

Chalonda was AMAZING. Leading up to the wedding she helped keep me organized and on task. Day of she helped make my vision come to life. The day ran smoothly and perfect thanks to her. She even took care of a vendor that messed up something for me so I didn’t even have to deal with that stress. Truly would recommend her for your big day, she’s someone I want to stay in touch with & be friends with after this! Haha so sad it’s all over!

Absolutely Fantastic!

Having Chalonda by our side during our planning and on the big day made everything come together so nicely! She has been very responsive and helpful since day 1 (we worked with her for over a year). She has checklists, recommendations, tips and tricks, and will find out the answer to any question or concerns that come up. She sent monthly emails to make sure everything was smooth, reminders to keep us on track, and didn’t hesitate to help anytime we reached out. She was there on our walkthrough the week before, and on wedding day her and her husband were essential parts of our team. They helped set everything up just the way we wanted, kept everything on time and organized, I wouldn’t change a thing.

Chalonda is so sweet, has great advice, and takes the stress away! If you’re thinking about booking a planner, I couldn’t imagine anyone better!

Most valuable vendor at our wedding

Chalonda’s knowledge and expertise far surpassed our expectations! She is the reason our day ran smoothly from rehearsal the night before to the sparkler exit. If I could change anything, I would have hired her earlier in the planning process. She received nothing but compliments from my family, bridal party, and other vendors for her professionalism and get-things-done attitude. Highly recommend Planning Forever for any event!
