Candace was AMAZING! Our overall experience with her was very fun, smooth, and successful. She made sure that we didn’t stress out over the little things as it got closer to our wedding day and even on the actual day. In addition, she was very professional and understanding to our needs to ensure our wedding was a success. A few things that stood out to us the most was that she was very organized throughout the planning process and on the day of the wedding. Furthermore, we were living in another state and she made it easy for us to trust her judgement as we planned our wedding. The things that were most important to us when we were looking for a wedding planner was structure, communication, fun, and creativity. She exceeded ALL those things! All of our family and friends who attended our wedding reached out to us the day after our wedding and complemented how well she did her job. We truly appreciate all that she did for us and would highly recommend her to any future couples tying the knot!

Can I relive this day over again?!? The Event Company was amazing. Candace created an incredible vision and brought to life pure beauty in the details. She thought of everything! Candace was a blast to work with, and her professionalism made the wedding a success but what stood out most to us was her attention to detail and creativity. She is also extremely kind and worked very well with the other vendors. The Event Company exceeded our expectations and I guarantee they will exceed yours too.

I don’t usually write reviews really, so take it from me that Candace was phenomenal. Outstanding in terms of quality, professionalism, really just making a vision come to life. She is so easy going and easy to work with, and took all the stress of planning a wedding away. She is EXCELLENT at what she does. And I will refer her to everyone!! If you’re looking for someone who is organized, on top of literally every detail, and really is in tune with getting to know you and what you’re looking for, choose Candace and The Event Company.

Candace was great for our wedding planner. She was on top of everything and offered a calmness to the big day. She takes your worries away from you and deals with them herself! When looking for a planner, I was looking for someone that I could also use as a friend. That would be okay with me expressing my anxieties and could put me at ease. She was so good with this! I would pick Candace over and over again- our day went off perfectly!!!!!

With all of the difficulties that 2020 brought, Candace was a dream of a wedding & event planner. Candace was stellar in every area from day 1, and in every moment until we left our wedding venue. Book her today! Here rates are fair, and she will do her best to make your wedding day, and any other event, perfect! You will not regret this decision!

Candace was one of the best choices I made regarding our wedding! I came into the wedding process having no idea what I was getting myself into. Also being in Florida and away from family, I didn’t have much help available. When Candace stepped in, she went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed for our wedding. We were almost finished planning our full wedding with Candace and then Covid-19 interrupted our plans. After deciding to cancel our big wedding, Candace stood by our side to help us pull together a micro-wedding with immediate family on the day that we originally chose in LESS THAN THREE WEEKS before the wedding! She’s friendly, full of energy, knowledgeable, classy, but most importantly, she loves what she does, and she extends that same love to her clients and the vendors. I would definitely recommend Candace to anyone who is looking for Event Planning/Consulting services!

Candace and the Event company did an amazing job with our wedding. My wife had initially planned out the whole wedding but got overwhelmed with all the extensive planning that was necessary. She found Candace and was beyond pleased with everything she did to make our wedding perfect for us. Candace had a professional yet fun and personable personality. She was a pleasure to work with and handled several unforeseen issues with grace and ensured we had the most beautiful and amazing day.

Planning a destination wedding for some may be stressful; However I’m so blessed to have a wedding company that pose the gift of Class and professionalism. From my initial phone call we talked at least a hour. Candace was very informative she answered All of my questions and even offered a few suggestions. Over the course of months there were several emails phones calls and many laughs. Our special day was truly beautiful and amazing with her guidance. I’m so thankful and would highly recommend The Event Company for a less stress and truly amazing experience.. 💜💜💜

Candace was nothing short of a miracle worker. I always felt like I had to never lift a finger. She was definitely an advocate for us in every way and we couldn't be more appreciative. We couldn’t have done our day without Candace! She truly was so supportive throughout our entire wedding planning process and made our vision come to life. When we initially sat down it felt like we were talking with a friend about our day. She covered all areas for our wedding day, including details we never would have thought of. Her communication was impeccable. She was always quick to respond to emails, text messages and phone calls. We cannot recommend her enough! She never overstepped or tried convincing me of anything, she only made sure I had the options and understood the details. She's patient, as hands-on or hands-off as you want her to be, and truly made my wedding planning experience enjoyable. I will be referring her to ever engaged friend I know. She really helped make our dream come true!

Candice is literally saved in my phone under “My saving Grace” because that’s truly what she was. I found her a month out from our wedding when I couldn’t handle anymore on my own. She immediately made me feel like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders and that everything would be ok. On the day off our wedding we had a groomsman no show, missing items that were not on her at all, and other hiccups no one could’ve anticipated, but she handled them all and I never even noticed till 9pm the night of our wedding. There was absolutely nothing she could’ve done better unless she was a mind reader and there were moments I felt like she was. On top of it her assistant Princess is a dream come true of positivity and sweetness. They bring a vibe of calm positivity to your entire event and wrap it up in elegance and professionalism. My hope is my life brings reasons to use them again and again and our paths cross in the future. Hands down we had the best team possible working with us on one of the most important days of our lives xoxo.
