I won't be able to say enough good things about Chalonda in the review, but I'm going to try. She was more than amazing and absolutely everything I needed during my wedding! She was super professional and very sweet. I felt like she really, truly cared about my vision for my wedding, from big picture ideas to the tiniest details. I always felt comfortable asking her any question or even just bouncing ideas off of her. I believe in her expertise and appreciated her honest feedback in every aspect! I don't think my wedding would have been as amazing as it was without her. I recently had my wedding after hurricane Helene, and Chalonda was fantastic at keeping me calm, while also ensuring that all of the vendors were still on board and that everything could run as smooth as possible. If she can handle a wedding during a last minute hurricane, I'm confident that she can handle anything! She also had no issue being my voice when I couldn't or didn't want to be confrontational. This was a major help for me! We also paid extra for her to set up the decor, and it was worth every penny. I'd pay for that again in a heartbeat! Knowing that she had everything handled, allowed me to focus on the more fun details of the wedding and really relax into my role as a bride. She even thought of things that I would have never dreamed of. I almost wish I would get married again and again so I could work with her further. If you have the opportunity to work with Chalonda, I would highly recommend you do so. My sister (MOH) has even said she wants to work with Chalonda when she gets married. Her professionalism and kindness radiate so bright and I can't thank her enough for all she did for me. Love her!
Planning Forever did an amazing job for our wedding!! Chalonda was an absolute professional and I highly recommend her for your wedding or event!!
Chalonda was absolutely amazing as my day of coordinator! We had multiple calls prior to the wedding which were so organized but also felt like talking to a friend. She was cool, calm, and collected through every step, and was always prepared to fix minor details and time changes for events on the day of. I would definitely recommend her to anyone because as organized and prepared as she was (and stern with our crazy groomsmen), she was also a very calming presence that helped me avoid stressing and made the day run smoothly!
Chalonda, your knowledge and creativity is second to none. It’s obvious you love what you do and it comes so natural! You can take a few pins from Pinterest and some details from conversations and come up with the exact vision I had. You are truly talented at what you do and I am so happy I got to work with you. Thank you for everything!
