    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!

    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!

    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.

    Bartender service

    I used Event to Remember for my bartenders at my wedding this past September. Given COVID and the constant changes, Shamika and her team did a wonderful job at communicating with me and being flexible with all my requests. Highly recommend!

    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

    Would recommend a thousand times over and over again!!!

    Cannot say enough good things about An Event to Remember! Our wedding day was by the far the most special day of our lives. Shamika and her team literally made our dreams come true. From start to finish, I could not have asked for a more dedicated visionary working to make everything happen. You would never know all the hoops Shamika had to jump through working with our complicated venue because of how truly magical and easy she made our day/weekend. The details to the design and the execution of how everything turned out was beyond expectations. Not to mention gaining a friend through it all to make it even more special! Shamika has a gift and those who experience her become richer because of it. Would recommend a thousand times over and over again!

    The best coordinator!

    We paid for the day of coordinator package, and Shamika was SO helpful with all things wedding planning and then ensuring our day ran smoothly. She was very accommodating when our wedding was postponed due to COVID. She went above and beyond her duties and we appreciated her so much. We are so glad we hired An Event to Remember!!

    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!

    Excellent friendly service

    Shamika and her team were a joy to work with for our wedding. They were very professional and also very friendly to us and our guests. I would highly recommend to anyone, and they were able to fill all our staffing needs (waiting tables, filling waters, clean up, etc)

    Top-Notch Coordinator!

    As an event planner myself, I think I was most nervous about finding a wedding coordinator who was highly organized in a laid-back manner. Bring in the business, I know this is a very delicate balance and not something that is easily learned. I needed someone who could take my vision and make it a reality, all while not making it more cumbersome for myself and my husband. Shamika and her team were this and more, and I truly can't recommend them enough. Their calm and collected demeanor, both before and during the big day, put me at ease and allowed me to enjoy what was truly a perfect day that would not have happened without them! They ran with every idea I had and made every vision come true and I can't thank them enough. I would HIGHLY recommend using them for your special event!

You will not be sorry hiring An Event To Remember!! She brings a great presence of being in charge and kept the rehearsal, ceremony, and reception all running smoothly!

    Hero Planner!!

    So I hired Shamika when we postponed our wedding during the spring. I was completely devastated!! But Shamika and her team helped us re-gain focus and assisted with planning a smaller wedding. She truly made our day magical! Shamika and her team are the best!

    Wonderful Planner and Bartender Package.

    We used Shamika as our day-of planner/organizer and we also used her bar package and staff. We were very happy with her services. She was so wonderful to work with, cheerful and chill even in the midst of stress. She kept everything running smoothly and on time and I would def recommend working with her. I wish we could have hired her to do the whole wedding planning.

    Amazing coordinator!

    Shamika and her assistant went above and beyond expectation! We booked her through our venue as a day-of coordinator but she assisted us all the way through our planning journey. She was organized, proactive, and professional all the way through. On the day of the wedding, she ensured everything ran on schedule and was helping however needed. Our wedding was running behind, but Shamika was easily able to adjust and get us back on track. Our day would not have been the same without her! Both my husband’s family and mine loved her!

    Couldn't have done it without them!

    Shamika and her team are truly one of a kind! She helped me to think and plan for things that I never even thought of. And the day of, her team felt more like family! There were some hiccups throughout the day (mostly due to my scattered brain) and Shamika (#2 haha) was right there to take care of it all and I never even had to worry. Aside from that, she joined me on the dance floor and sealed it even more for me..the best wedding team out there!!! Thank you all so much for helping pull off the best day of our lives!

    Went above and beyond consistently!

    We found Shamika / An Event To Remember by way of purchasing a package from Brushy Creek Events. A day-of coordinator and coordinator of vendors was part of that package, and so shortly after signing on with Brushy Creek we were put in contact with Shamika for our day-of-coordination. From the start (maybe 7 or 8 mos before the wedding) Shamika worked with us to determine what rental needs we had and since she had experience working with BCE she provided a lot of insight into what upgrades we may need to consider and what additional things we may need to rent/buy that were not part of the package. She knew what most vendors would be bringing (and what they would not) and whatever she didn’t know, she went and found out. She went WAY above and beyond for us during the planning phases and then knocked it out of the park the day of. Everything went according to plan. Her staff took care of everything and made sure everything went on schedule and that people who needed to know where to be and when. And she did it all with a smile and a friendly attitude. She was invaluable to us and our wedding would not have been the success it was without her. She has many years experience in the biz and it shows. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her and her team!!

    Fun to work with

    Shamika and event to remember are great to work and very flexible. I'll be the first to admit I'm high maintenance and hate giving control to anyone for fear that things won't end up the way I want but she is super understanding and does her best to give you your perfect vision. My parents were definitely thrilled to be able to relax and enjoy the night without having to worry about making sure everything went smoothly because she was on top of it!

    She is also very responsive to email.

    Highly recommend

    Shamika is magical and she deserves every good thing that comes to her in life. She was our day-of coordinator booked through Brushy Creek Events, and I feel she consistently went above and beyond what I would have expected from her. When BCE confusion and vendor issues stressed me out, she calmed me down and helped me figure it out. When the wedding day became a shitshow (and oh did it become a shitshow - torrential downpour, last second vendor cancellations... you name the bad thing, it happened on our wedding day), Shamika took the reins, called in backup, and miraculously pulled it off. We had a beautiful ceremony and a wonderful time, and I cannot believe she managed to make it happen! We're legitimately considering naming our first born after her haha. Basically, words cannot describe how highly I recommend her. Thank you Shamika - you have no idea how much your efforts mean to us.

    Our outdoor brunch wedding was a huge success thanks to An Event To Remember. The temps in early April dropped quickly into the 40s and threatened to drive the guests away... so with NO notice, after the outdoor ceremony, Shamika and her team helped to flip the whole reception indoors. She didn't bat an eye or act flustered at all! By the time we finished photos- we had moved from a garden party, to an indoor toasty reception. Incredible. If you are on the fence about needing a coordinator- don't hesitate!!! Book An Event To Remember now!
