  The World Awaits Retirement Party

  Desiree Blackshear is an excellent event planner! I recommend her event planning service, Moments of Purpose. Desiree did an exceptional job planning my husband’s retirement celebration. Our theme was the “World Awaits” based upon my husband’s desire to travel to Greece, Finland, France, Thailand, and Puerto Rico. Desiree brought our vision into fruition and created such a fantastic experience for my husband, myself, and our guests. Our evening began with a social hour that included cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, and a photo booth. Our guests thoroughly enjoyed the photo booth experience.
  Next, Desiree issued boarding passes to everyone with a designated destination to Greece, Finland, France, Thailand, or Puerto Rico. The boarding pass identified our seating assignment within the dining ballroom. As we entered the ballroom, we noticed the ballroom and dining tables were decorated based on known tourist attractions found in Greece, Finland, France, Thailand, and Puerto Rico. Desiree went beyond what we expected by creating a video for our guests to enjoy at the start of the dinner service. The video highlighted the amazing places we plan to visit during our travel to these countries. Desiree is a very talented and extremely resourceful event planner. My husband and I are so grateful for the “experience” Desiree created during our retirement celebration.

  The perfect stress-free planner in the business

  They Literally were the perfect planners for us. We contacted them WEEKS before the wedding and they were on point from the first conversation. We told them what we wanted and within a couple days M.O.P. had all the info to take over. Communication was perfect, there was never a moment we called/text and did not get a quick response or they just picked up. The team at M.O.P. will forever be apart of my wedding memories because they removed all the worries with their professionalism and execution. To the team at M.O.P. Thank you so much for being the STRESS REMOVERS for our wedding.

  Excellent Experience

  From the first initial meeting . all the way until the day of, Moments of Purpose truly were exceptional. Someone from Desiree's team (or more than one at times) were at every meeting with my different Vendors and venue visits. They were always punctual and full of fantastic ideas and great at problem solving. They took away the stress and worry that comes with such an important day. They handled even rough situations with class and grace. Most importantly they honored myself and my future husbands wishes. I highly reccomend Desiree, Myra and the entire team of Moments of Purpose. Thank you ladies for helping make my moment so meaningful.

  I really loved having someone to take care of "putting together" my event. I had done most of my research and knew what I wanted, and Desiree took it to completion. I normally run around and try and do it all. It was great to not worry and know that everything would be just as I wanted it! Thanks again for everything! My guests loved the event and I'm certain it had a lot to do with your execution!

  I entered a contest and won my day of event coordinator through Moments of Purpose Event Planning. My coordinator was Desiree. She was excellent and very easy to work with. She was on time and very well prepared. She took all my vendor information and contacted them immediately, I didn't even have to deal with them anymore, she handled that. When my wedding date arrived she made sure everything was exactly the way I wanted it. Time for the reception where she worked extremely hard because a lot of people didn't RSVP for my wedding which means I had more people than I anticipated which was no sweat for me. Desiree took care of everything and I never even knew there was a problem. This is a sweet, very professional lady and I would definitely recommend her to anyone who is planning a very special event.

  My husband and I had wanted a destination wedding in Jamaica and luckily we were able to find Moments of Purpose. Desiree was our wedding planner / travel agent. Although there were a few bumps in the road, her hard work and care ensured our day was stress-free and enjoyable. She paid close attention to detail and made sure our family members who were joining us were comfortable. When the wedding day came she was there by my side for anything I needed. She truly felt like a part of our family and made our special day a dream come true!

  I could have not pulled off such a beautiful wedding without Desiree and the whole Moments of Purpose team! From the first initial contact Desiree has always been professional and just a joy to work with. Whenever I had a question she was always prompt to answer it. Desiree really has a passion for what she does and it shows through on how she treats her clients. I would not hesitate to recommend Desiree and Moments of Purpose to anyone who needs an event planner. She was absolutely the best!

  My Wedding weekend was 9/29-30 2017. Overall I feel Desiree and her team did a great job in helping me the day of and before the days of my events. I would rate my experience a 7.5/10. Things that I thought she did great on: -Willingness to go beyond what our contract called for: Desiree helped in my Nigerian traditional wedding and her and her team stepped in to help in any way they could (decorating, takedown, serving food, relaying information from the bride and family to the vendors.
  -Was very attentive to all my travel needs and was able to change or omit things with ease -Was very helpful in vendor meetings to get important information -Was organized and able to help narrow down day of tasks
  -Had great ideas on venue d�cor, and cost saving options
  Things that I thought could have gone better: -Needed reminders to follow up with some vendors or email me on things we discussed -A little more passive about the structure and time of events during the American wedding and during the days leading up with vendor compliance
  Overall I had a pleasant experience with the MOP team and they contributed to me having an awesome wedding weekend and honeymoon with less stress and more fun! I would work with them again in the future!!
