  • Incredible Wedding Planner

    Chalonda truly exceeded all of our expectations with her expertise, professionalism and organization! I truly felt like the calmest bride on the day of our wedding because Chalonda was such an amazing wedding planner and took care of everything we had previously discussed. She was really helpful in guiding us through floral details, grand exit ideas, and formulating non traditional ways to include our dog into our big day! She was always thinking 3 steps ahead and helped our day be beautiful, organized, on schedule and so so fun! She’s truly the best there is! She is easy to talk to, very accommodating and trustworthy! Loved every aspect of my experience working with Chalonda!

  • Most valuable vendor at our wedding

    Chalonda’ s knowledge and expertise far surpassed our expectations! She is the reason our day ran smoothly from rehearsal the night before to the sparkler exit. If I could change anything, I would have hired her earlier in the planning process. She received nothing but compliments from my family, bridal party, and other vendors for her professionalism and get-things-done attitude. Highly recommend Planning Forever for any event!

  • Absolutely Fantastic!

    Having Chalonda by our side during our planning and on the big day made everything come together so nicely! She has been very responsive and helpful since day 1 (we worked with her for over a year). She has checklists, recommendations, tips and tricks, and will find out the answer to any question or concerns that come up. She sent monthly emails to make sure everything was smooth, reminders to keep us on track, and didn’t hesitate to help anytime we reached out. She was there on our walkthrough the week before, and on wedding day her and her husband were essential parts of our team. They helped set everything up just the way we wanted, kept everything on time and organized, I wouldn’t change a thing. Chalonda is so sweet, has great advice, and takes the stress away! If you’re thinking about booking a planner, I couldn’t imagine anyone better!

  • Such a great experience!!

    Chalonda was AMAZING. Leading up to the wedding she helped keep me organized and on task. Day of she helped make my vision come to life. The day ran smoothly and perfect thanks to her. She even took care of a vendor that messed up something for me so I didn’t even have to deal with that stress. Truly would recommend her for your big day, she’s someone I want to stay in touch with & be friends with after this! Haha so sad it’s all over!
