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! -

Alaya Sent on 10/13/2023An 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!!! -

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! -

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. -

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! -

Stephanie Sent on 05/23/2021The 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!! -

Ashley Sent on 05/22/2021Would 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! -

Alina Sent on 12/29/2020Wonderful 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. -

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! -

Sarah Sent on 06/28/2019Went 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!!

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. -

D Sent on 05/19/2018We met Shamika at a venue open house. Right off the bat we knew we wanted to hire her for her services. We chose the 'Simply Details' package which includes day-of coordination as well as communicating with and visiting vendors and providing input. Shamika was our ROCK when unexpected changes occurred (oohh there were many..). Her professionalism is top-notch and the women who help her on the day-of were great. My husband says they were worth every penny and more!! Hire An Event to Remember to make your day go smoooooooth! Shamika, you're the best!! <3

An Event to Remember
I was originally contacted by Shamika because she is the preferred vendor at Ranch Austin. We hired her approximately 7 months prior to our wedding, and even though I hired her as a “day of coordinator” she started working with me right away. She took over all communication with the vendors, scheduled appointments for me to see the progress of all the wedding details, and met at the venue with me several times to discuss all the little details. I was planning my wedding in Texas all the way from Colorado, so having her there to guide me and help me with all the behind-the-scenes work while I was away at school was so helpful. Additionally, when it came time to make the wedding timeline and on the wedding day itself, she was very flexible and catered to our needs. Overall, hiring her was a great help that I didn’t even know I needed, so I would highly recommend her if you’re planning a wedding on your own! -

Maya Sent on 09/11/2013We used AETR for the day of coordinating and got the "simply details" package where we got to meet with her about 3 times before the wedding. It was awesome to sit back and let her confirm with our vendors and help us with finalizing minor decor and details. She was also very help as far as where to get different items.
However, the day of the event the main event manager was let's say...frantic and all over the place...I know this because I felt that all I was hearing from her was everything that went wrong. You could tell she was overwhelmed. Her demeanor definitely stressed me out. She went on about what was communicated to her and what was not.
Also, during the reception, instead of actually coordinating the event, she was all over the place and therefore we felt as if we were basically coordinating the event ourselves...not cool. She acted as if this was her first event. Also, there were specific instructions given for some things and they were not done....I believe because she was so overwhelmed.
Also, there were some things that just simply weren't done that should've been done which is not okay when you're paying someone.
She's got very good ideas, but definitely has room for improvement. -

Margelid Sent on 10/06/2022Stressful Wedding Day Coordination
Shamika was amazing during the planning and process and the venue and all the other vendors I hired all raved about her so my husband and I were super excited and felt we were in good hands. Our #1 priority for the wedding was to not be stressed, and that is the job of the coordinator and what Shamika promised. Unfortunately, on the wedding day Shamika was not able to show due to a "family emergency" and she left her two assistants who were not part of the main planning process to coordinate the wedding day. First the decor people were not going to put cloths on the family tables, even through they were ordered and if it wasn't for MY MOM checking they would have never had them, guests were coming inside the building while vendors were still setting up instead of being sent outside, they did not sit the families where they needed to be, they forgot to place essential ceremony decor where it belonged, they did not make sure cake was being passed and champagne, and instead of giving the top of the wedding cake and food packed from the caters to us to my mom they gave it to the wrong people. My videographers and photographers did not know exactly where to go all the time and I had to be the one to tell them where to stand and go. Honestly, we were a bit behind due to our officiant being late, and the assistants did the best they could and had great attitudes, but they did not know how to lead, which ultimately causes wedding day stress. My fiance and I were running all over the place the best we could to make sure things were done how we wanted. Its disappointing because we believe if Shamika was there, the promise of it being a stress free day would have rang true, but behind the scenes we couldn't enjoy the day like we wanted. When we talk about what we wish we would've changed for our wedding day, it comes down to coordinator.
