User2226354 Sent on 07/14/2015We 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. -
User2207969 Sent on 07/02/2015If 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. -

Mariel Sent on 07/12/2015I 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. -
User1319648 Sent on 09/08/2013I 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! -

Larhonda Sent on 07/12/2012Terrica Skaggs and her team at Cocktails & Details are absolutely phenomenal. She was such a joy to work with and I was more than pleased with every single detail of our wedding day. She is extremely patient which I truly appreciated because I know I can be a worry wart at times but she always pleasantly re-assured me. Our wedding was small and on St. Andrews Beach in Jekyll Island but she never made us feel as if we were less important and I adore her for that. It was elegant, romantic, beautiful and truly a dream come true for us. She really does listen to her clients and even remembered that I did not like chocolate so there weren't on the strawberries she got for our honeymoon suite. She takes special care to every single detail so that your wedding day is exactly as you have envisioned. She has such a warm, sweet personality that makes you want to be her friend. I can't say enough great things about Terrica and her team because that would take all day. Anyone who has the pleasure of having her plan ANY event for them will NOT be disappointed.

Barry Sent on 06/23/2015We hired Cocktails & Details about 4 months prior to our wedding when we realized our current planner would not work out. Our wedding was in Jacksonville, FL and we found Cocktails & Details on a video from the DJ company we were using. We spoke with Terrica the owner several times and she was very prompt and responsive. Their website was also very professional. Their day of planning services were twice as much as all other planners we looked at, however, we figured we had already spent so much on the wedding we should not skimp on a planner because we wanted everything to go perfectly. We booked Cocktails & Details and unfortunately we did not get the top of the line service we had paid for. Honestly, given the reviews on wedding wire you would think we hired a completely different company. The week before the wedding a vendor contacted me at work stating she had never heard from Terrica or received a timeline about when she could set up for the wedding. I contacted Terrica immediately and she contacted the florist with the timeline but then 2 days later another vendor called with the same complaint. When Terrica was asked as to why we were even receiving calls from vendors the week of our wedding, she implied it was our fault because we hired these vendors. Another vendor complained that the information they received was so basic and minimal she contacted me because she did not feel comfortable with so little information. That vendor was the make up artist who according to the schedule was supposed to arrive at 2-2:30 pm which would have made it impossible to do 7 people's make up and be ready for pictures by 3:30. Because of that everything ran late and we were unable to get sufficient pictures prior to the ceremony. She totally forgot the aisle runner for the ceremony. She did not utilize the hostesses at all. Honestly there was so much other stuff that went wrong and not enough space on here to type it. I would not recommend her services for the price.Cocktails & Details's reply:
We appreciate the feedback regarding your wedding earlier this month! Your event was very important to us and we worked very hard on it, so we are very saddened to hear of your unhappiness. We worked diligently to confirm all thirteen of the vendors; two of which had issues receiving and reviewing it, which we quickly remedied, through strenuous methods. It is never the client’s fault when a vendor does not perform responsibly and this is never something for which we would find fault in a client. Our production schedules are 11 pages long with detailed information for every vendor. In review of the approved timeline from 5.30.15, there is no 2 or 2:30 slot— Styling was set to start at 12 PM upon the bridal party’s arrival (page 5); Entry and gate information was listed on page 3 on the event overview, our arrival was scheduled at 2 PM as setup was already conducted the day before (page 10). If after review of our production schedule, a vendor has issues with our scheduling, we always ask them to contact us. We were excited for and knew how important your wedding was to you which is why we went above and beyond for your event (bringing additional staff at no extra charge, doing the hostesses' duties when they did not show up at the appointed time, working with a relative as an additional planner at the insistence of the matron of honor, picking up a steamer and 140 sparklers on the way to the event which caused a delay in communications and our arrival from Georgia). Though there were some misplaced expectations, we worked hard to fill in the gaps where duties were unassigned or unfulfilled by other parties. All feedback is constructive and welcome and it helps us grow— as our other reviews and awards reflect, we take client service very seriously and apologize if there are needs that were left unmet at your wedding. Please know that we do wish you all the best!
