Holly handled my daughter's wedding at the Marriott Sand Key, Clearwater Florida on Friday March 7…read more SHE WAS AMAZING. I live out of state, so my daughter (the bride) handled all of her wedding details, directly with Holly. On wedding day, the event went off without a hitch. From hair, makeup, pictures, ceremony, reception to clean up... Holly was only a few steps away from my daughter and had tabs on all details., AT ALL TIMES. I noticed, while my daughter was dancing, Holly would bring her water... she helped bustle the dress... she cleaned the bridal suite after the ceremony. Holly anticipated and executed with precision. Incredible, impeccable, delightful, friendly, professional, steady, firm, pleasant... she was everything we needed on wedding day. I would recommend Handled by Holly to EVERYONE I know. You will not be disappointed. She is worth every penny. THANK YOU, Holly and team. Sincerely, Katie M.

Having Holly as my day of bridal assistant was amazing. People don't realize what an extra set of…read morehands can do until they're put in that situation. Having her as additional help to our wedding also helped my wedding day of coordinator!

Thank you so much, we won't forget you!

What should I do when a certain event planner silences me from speaking my Truths about the issue…read morewe have following my wedding? Her "team" lost numerous items of decor: projector, chargers, my wedding gifts and some cards which had checks for gifts and then didn't do her job of setting the room up with simple instructions. The room looked like a hot mess. Her staffer was rarely seen, barely completed the "decor set up" as guests eagerly arrived and then after damaging my property, losing my property, they have gone radio silent after this morning post was removed. Why was it removed? There are vendors out here that screw up and/or do crappy work and people like me should be able to voice the truth about my interaction and people like me who spent their hard earned money on pin the tail on the donkey decorator should hold them accountable in front of their peers and customers, past present or future. I have disputed my charge for this so called planner, special moments event planner is their name. I posted tons of pics so I won't waste my time just yet BUT anyone can message me and I will be happy to forward the mess they have caused and the fraud in their services. There is no accountability. There is no customer service. There has still not been any communication about the issues outstanding with me and my new husband to the owners of this shop. The only replies I have received, you might also have received, and that is because they pride themselves on their nonsense reviews for couples who pay over $10000 for their services. (Your getting screwed!) she was definitely not worth the $1100 I paid her either. If you hear the name Shauna I promise just say NO. She doesn't take any notes, she doesn't have any decor abilities and surely is playing above her pay grade. It seems I'm the one who has to call them out on their shotty staff, services and owner. One may have won awards among her peers, but based on my post silently disappears, it is apparent that these reviews are rigged and the wedding mafia has struck again. Special moments event planning your a joke for the little people like myself. I would never have paid the rates for your services. I had high hopes cuz I was in a pre-wedding haze. Now I'm in post wedding battle. And let me also say my family friends and my new family and friends were the sole reason I didn't go 305 on their asses, while I yanked their vendor plates from their lazy hands. I'm sure this won't last an hour on the group even 2am but I'm hoping if I do it enough times and have my friends family also cut and paste the same reviews that we can break this stupidity of not letting everyday people speak their peace. I'm not going away on Facebook so as a result I will continue to speak the truths about the incompetence, unprofessional handling of client issues (valid issues) and then stealing my funds and very possibly my property (cards and gifts included). Think it's impossible to believe I think it's possible. I think it's real. I think it's a travesty. I think they are an overrated, overpaid, dive bar flunkie planners who proclaim #1 status but it's all about who ya know: wedding sorority who rules these groups. So before I'm removed yet again and kicked out from helping one person say NO, screw these idiots and their antics. I'm letting my credit card handle what they can for payment withheld. It's only fair as they lost damaged. Then I go to small claims. Two can play ball , so consider this is my first homefun. Just having one person read is phenomenal. One can only hide their truths so long. Good luck on your wedding dates ladies. Cheers and just say NO special memories event planning !!!

If you are thinking of saving the expense of a wedding planner and trying to do it all yourself…read more.. DON'T!! First, Special Moments are most affordable you will find for what they offer. Second, it is well worth the expense to have expert wedding planners like Tammy and Petra take away all the stress on your wedding day so you can enjoy every minute of it... cause it goes by quick! I didn't even know the cops showed up in response to a noise complaint, or that my dad was late getting to the ceremony to walk me down the aisle! We never ran out of anything, and all the vendors did what they were hired to do, so we didn't need to manage a thing. We could just enjoy our special day with our family and friends. Finally, whatever it costs to hire them, you will get every penny back through their excellent recommendations and vast inventory. They saved us thousands of dollars by recommending an amazing caterer at a per person cost that other vendors couldn't believe he was charging. And their vast amount of decor inventory for every taste saved us hundreds of dollars on new decor - plus who wants the brain damage of having to sell it all on Craigslist after the wedding? Petra is one of the hardest workers I know, and I wouldn't trust anyone else with the most important day of my life. She was on top of everything at all times, and the day could not have gone any smoother. And she deserves an Emmy for the most memorable part of our day - when she helped play a prank on our best man by telling him I wasn't coming. Thank you Tammy and Petra for making sure our wedding was the fairytale wedding I had always dreamed of! https://drive.google.com/file/d/1VQsz9cS-_zKAlBQcBzwEc70ErfD3dYvt/view?usp=sharing

The day of my event was crucial for me because I have a toddler as well so it was hard for me to set everything up while getting everyone ready. Annie showed up extremely early and with so much positivity. She set up every detail and allowed me time to actually get ready myself and be present in the moment. I would recommend Always A Host to anyone who is looking for a budget friendly, creative, and results driven event. My family and friends complimented the party and still talk about it! I will be using Always A Host again.

Ms. Amber made sure that although we were doing a destination wedding, we were in great hands on every aspect! Ms. Amber is literally super woman and the best planner of all time! She was real with us when she needed to be (especially about our budget, our interesting families, and being on time), had our back when only TWO people, besides our parents, showed up to rehearsal, and was there for every phone call, moment of freaking out, both of our questions.concerns, Type-A personalities, text messages, and wedding planning meeting.

We were able to have our dream beach ceremony, our dream reception venue, and everything else in between because of this company and we are so thankful! Because of working with Amber, we were at peace most of planning and had nothing to worry about! Even down to the day when we were doing the final clarification of ceremony music, I literally SANG music and Amber was right there talking me through the names because I was stressing and could not remember the artists. We will definitely be seeing Simple Beach Weddings for renewing our vows in a few years as well.

Let me start by saying that I never had a Pinterest board for my wedding or any specific vision or…read moreinspiration. I had NO CLUE what I wanted. My husband and I were originally thinking that we were going to do it all ourselves- I realized that would be impossible for me to do on top of attending medical school in a another state. I began researching wedding planners and I stumbled upon Jennifer's Instagram. We got in touch and after speaking with her, I called my (now) husband and said we HAVE to hire her! We booked with Jennifer for Design and Event Management. It was the best decision that we made. Jennifer planned and organized tastings, the design presentations, and other meetings around when I could be in town and we didn't have to worry about a single thing. She handled all contact with the vendors and helped us tweak anything we were concerned about. If we needed a recommendation for other vendors, she always had a list ready for us. She went out of her way to stay in touch with us, to get another quote or vendor, and to make sure every single detail was absolutely perfect. She provided her wisdom and recommendations which we really trusted because Jennifer is truly an expert in her field. When it all came together in the final presentation, I knew that it would be beautiful- but it was still hard for me to see the complete vision in my head. It didn't all truly hit me until the day of- as the vendors were setting up and Jennifer had everything coordinated down to every single floral arrangement and furniture piece. Walking into my ceremony was truly breathtaking- all of our guests have commented over and over that it was the most beautiful wedding they have been to. We used the same venue for ceremony and reception, and the room flip was flawless. Before the guests came in, I commented to Jennifer that I have no idea how she sees all of this in her head and makes it happen- and that is truly how I feel. My husband and I keep saying to each other that we wish we could experience it again. We did not worry about a SINGLE thing on the day of our wedding. We were able to focus on our marriage and enjoying our food, drinks, cake, and the company of our guests without a single worry about flowers or tables or chairs. If you are looking for someone to make your day unforgettable- look no further! I have said this to anyone who asks and I truly mean it: I never had a dream wedding until Jennifer planned it.
