A Day To Remember

y replied and wanted to het to know us. On our first meeting, we immediately got along with each other and she became our best friend. Claudia is a fun, kind, and honest person but most importantly she truly cares about making your wedding dreams come true. Her concerns were making sure that we were happy with the products that she presented, with who we worked with, and if we were having fun, stress free.  She handled everything in a timely manner, assured we knew every little thing that was happening and was always professional. Her experience and knowledge of the industry was exactly what you want out of a wedding planner. Claudia not only made our experience magical but not a single moment was left behind. So many memories were made mainly because of her help in making the day of our wedding magical. We are extremely grateful for Claudia and the “A Day to Remember” team. Instead of being a couple who just wanted to end the stressful event, we turned into a couple that didn’t want the day to end. You are amazing!! Thank you, Claudia, for the most amazing and beautiful wedding!!

Big Day to just go ahead and do it. We had a fairly intimate wedding of approximately 90 guests, and we can confirm that a truly extravagant wedding celebration can certainly be planned and pulled off in this time frame - all thanks to Claudia and her team. She graciously took us on as clients with short notice and certainly delivered. We were blown away at the finished product and our guests are still talking about our wedding celebration six months later; many of them want a do-over! We would recommend A Day To Remember to anyone planning a wedding or a special event, especially LGBT weddings (we are a gay couple). We look forward to planning another party with them in the future!

ing a relationship with us and capturing our vision was fun and easy. She is so experienced and has so many resources. She communicated with all the vendors for us and put together an amazing event that was beyond our expectations. I often wish we could relive our wedding day! I could not thank her and her team enough. Having her by our side made all the difference

still make my events beautiful and fun! Claudia not only made it harder for my family and I to budget our expenses, but every time she promised that she would deliver a quote for a reasonable price based on what was previously discussed, she failed to deliver. Before I signed with her, she asked me about our budget. She knew that my parents only had a certain amount to spend on the wedding. But time and time again, she would become upset with us when we questioned the quotes from vendors because they were significantly over the budget. Claudia made these events significantly more stressful for me and my family. My cousin (who helped me because I was so stressed dealing with Claudia) had to keep constant tabs on her and even had to send her the notes she took because Claudia did not have the correct information. Her favorite things to say were "I have a vision" and "don't make me look bad with decor/don't half ass decor" BUT this is OUR money that SHE Is spending. She had zero respect for our budget and zero respect for us. She gave my family constant attitude. She was disrespectful and her jokes were inappropriate. She stole the complete wedding experience from my close family members. She made my family do so much work on the day of my events. She did not take care of anything and on top of that, I paid for a team to be there on wedding AND reception and she only brought one other assistant at reception. She even said that she did not bring an assistant with her at the wedding. Couple of examples: 1. We would request an invoice for a vendor and she would give us the wrong invoice. We would then have to go back and forth to get the correct numbers 2. She was supposed to coordinate the sangeet (the event before wedding) but instead of being at the venue to receive items for the bar (the delivery timings were given in advance), she left the venue for the whole window of delivery. We had to scramble to find a family member to be present at the venue instead to accept the delivery. 3. She did not coordinate timeline meetings with the DJ. The DJ requested US for a timeline meeting and then Claudia acted like she put it together 4. She sent us the wrong invoice and we wired a GREAT amount of money to that invoice. She did not apologize for sending the wrong invoice, nor did she fight for us to get our money back. If budget, attitude, and ease of wedding planning is important to you- look elsewhere! **She not only did not do certain very important aspects of her job, but made excuses instead of owning up her to mistakes, which I would have preferred. At the end of the day, she is not to be trusted with one of the most important days of your life.

genuinely cared to know how I envisioned my wedding day. Every detail of my wedding day reflected the conversations we had during my first consult with her. Her passion for wedding planning and people exudes out into everything she does. I HIGHLY recommend choosing her full planning package. By going with that option, the entire planning process flows, connects, and stays consistent for the most beautiful interconnected outcome. Every detail had purpose and intent because A Day To Remember oversaw each part from what vendors I used, to the stationery, and even down to which bridesmaid's dresses fit the theme the best. Not only is Claudia an amazing, professional, and fun wedding planner, but she also works closely with the best vendors in the industry. By choosing her, you are choosing a team of other vendors that have experience working alongside each other, which adds to the experience. If you want a stress-free wedding day, A Day To Remember is the planner for you. She and her team ensured I was always involved, but they carried the heavy lifting, which allowed me to enjoy my engagement season. No matter the time of day, they answered my questions quickly. All in all, choosing DTR was the best decision I could have made when I began planning my wedding. By working with Claudia and her team, you will not only have the wedding of your dreams, but you will also have a friend for life! Any wedding she is part of is guaranteed to be a stand-out wedding and guests will rant and rave that it was the most beautiful wedding they have ever been to, as mine did!

rated an eye for detail and design on every element of the wedding as well as an ever present cheerful personality and optimism. With Claudia's recommendations we were able to secure an amazing venue, an awesome photographer, and many other excellent vendors all while working to our budget and making sure everything fit our style and personality. She was always willing to work around our challenging work and travel schedule and communicated with us as frequently as was possible. The wedding and reception were both a great success, and it was all thanks to Claudia's determination and expertise.

ould not have done it without her. She goes above and beyond for her brides! I highly recommend using A Day to Remember for your wedding planning!

weddings because of Claudia, and I was practically stress-free the entire time. She worked with my weird schedule and personality. I don't think anything could have been better. If you're planning a wedding, please please consider hiring the best planner in the area. If I could give a million stars, I would.

been accomplished and the day was getting closer, so my mom and I enlisted the assistance of Claudia with A Day to Remember.   Claudia had already done the wedding of a friend of mine and my friend insisted I needed a planner.  I should have listened to her from the beginning, but in the end, Claudia came through and removed the stress and made my husband's and my wedding day perfect!  From finding our vendors, designing our wedding to drafting our timeline, Claudia made it easy for us to just say yes or no, without having to focus on the minute details, which was causing me to become overwhelmed and stressed!

ource at her disposal. Claudia provided us with wonderful vendors, and worked with my daughter to design the most beautiful wedding I could ever imagine!

h and she knew exactly what I was looking for. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to have an amazing and luxurious event!

elp. From a prior event I planned (which was stressful at only 20 guests), I knew I'd rather skip the wedding cake than the wedding planner. And with some DIY projects that I wanted to embed in the event, there was no way we could have enjoyed our 90-guest wedding without Claudia. Claudia has a positive energy that just clicked with us when we chose to work with her for our wedding. After our first meeting, she got the picture of what we were envisioning. She and I communicated often via text and email. Her responses were timely whether it was for vendor recommendations or to help me choose between ideas. The inspiration board she developed for me was key to help me communicate with some vendors. Don’t let the smiles fool you, she will go to war for you when necessary. She helped me negotiate with a few vendors and put in some calls for me to help things move along. She kept me straight on the theme for my wedding and helped me decide against expenses that were unnecessary. On the day of the wedding, she dealt with all vendors at the venue, put out a few fires and dealt with a few situations that made things work seamlessly. Oh, by the way, on the week OF the wedding, she designed and developed all of the “day-of-wedding” stationary. She took my ideas, notes and prior conversations of what my groom and I liked, and she designed the most perfect escort and place cards, thank you cards, menus, etc. Our wedding turned out to be the most beautiful soft garden with a touch of rustic wedding I have attended. Your wedding will be magical to you. You will also need to be flexible to go to plan B on some things. But with Claudia, your plan Bs will look and feel like that was exactly how everything was meant to be. Thank you, Claudia, for the most beautiful wedding I could have imagined for my husband and me.

any ideas but didn't know how to blend them all together and Claudia always knew exactly how to execute and mesh all of my ideas together! She made every step of the planning process fun and easy for me and I can say that I had minimal stress during the whole planning process! Claudia is creme de la creme of wedding planners and also an overall awesome person who I consider a close friend! I would highly recommend her to anyone!

if you are doing a destination wedding! My stress level was high and told my now husband that I was ready to just elope. He calmed me down and urged me to hire a planner to take over the reigns. Claudia immediately got to work, sorted out the details and things quickly improved becuse I didn't have to stress and worry about the details. Our guests enjoyed themselves and still talk sbout how wonderful and memorable our wedding wss! Thank you Claudia for all your help! You are such a ROCKSTAR and consider you a beautiful friend! XO

graduating. Bettered my mom and Claudia, I almost felt like the groom who would show up and everything was already hashed out. I'm not the kind of person who likes to fuss over details, although I get it, they are important, but Claudia made the process easy. She takes the time to get to know, your style and taste and before you know it, she just gets you and everything she selected for me was perfect! If you are getting married, hire a planner who will take the time to personalize your wedding. Claudia did just that for my husbnd and me and we will be forever grateful! You really did create a day to remember for us!

veral planners and immediately connected with Claudia. She understood my daughter's vision and made her wedding a beautiful reality.  No detail was left unnoticed, Claudia recommended wonderful vendors and made sure the wedding day ran like clockwork. I am an extremely detailed-oriented woman and can become very hands on, but Claudia and her staff allowed me the opportunity to really enjoy my daughter's wedding! I could go on and on, but in the end,  I can't stress enough the importance of hiring a wedding planner. Claudia and her staff were wonderful and would hire her again if I had any more daughters.

tasy and made it a reality and made sure I was able to enjoy my wedding day without a worry in the world. She is absolutely AMAZING! Claudia is the QUEEN BEE when it comes to weddings!

g I didn't have to worry about a thing.  Claudia understood my taste and style, so it made it easier to convey what I wanted. Throughout the entire planning, she connected me with the best vendors, provided wonderful ideas and really made our wedding special to my husband and me.  On the day of our wedding, not only were my husband and I stress free, but so was my family.  Claudia really did make our wedding A DAY TO REMEMBER!  A huge Thank You to Claudia and her staff for an unforgettable day!  XOXO

e of the wedding shows and loved her immediately! She made us feel at ease and the stress level dropped! Claudia made our planning fun, enjoyable and most importantly, stress free! She recommended top-notch vendors and had fantastic ideas and made our wedding look so beautiful! On the wedding day, she was there when we needed her, especially for my OCD mom, dealt with our guests, kept checking up on my husband and me. Claudia and her team truly gave us "a day to remember"! If you are getting married, I highly recommend you hire Day to Remember, Claudia and her team were wonderful and on point with everything!

masterfully put together what's been reported as the largest gay wedding in the history of Houston. Her suggestions were always perfect, and her attention to details was phenomenal. When we asked her to meet with us in person, she was always there. Emails and calls were always answered promptly. Over 350 people were in attendance of all ages and backgrounds, and to a person, people were blown away--we give Claudia so much credit for taking the stress off our hands and making sure the show went off without a hitch. We had the wedding and reception and entertainment (including mariachis, drag queens, confetti bombs, stiltwalkers, and so much more!) in the same place, and everything went perfectly, thanks to Claudia and her staff. We have heard from so many who thought the wedding was the best they had ever attended (gay or straight)--we tell them all the real thanks goes to Claudia. If you are planning a wedding--in Houston or anywhere--you NEED to have Claudia be your planner!

dding, this is your girl! Upon meeting her, I knew a great friendship would develop. My husband and I instantly knew she was the planner for us! She instantly connected with us and learned our personalities so well, to the point that she would surprise me sometimes. She definitely knows what she's doing in the world of weddings and events and we never came across a problem that she couldn't quickly find a solution to. Just like any other wedding, it was super stressful for us, but Claudia handled it like a pro and took control of everything. She wasn't just a great wedding planner, but also a great listener, and counselor. I met her assistant, Anaise, the day of our wedding, and she is such a sweetheart! Loved her too! She was also a great help that day! Thanks Claudia and Anaise! You definitely made our wedding a Day To Remember!
