Moments Event Planning and Design

le, personable and fun!

o any event without her again! I had booked Pam for her "one-month" service. She says there's no way she could jump in and do the day of and make it perfect and she is so right. Starting my planning with her a month out was perfect. I was getting overwhelmed with all the small details and once I had my first meeting with Pam I knew everything was in good hands and I could relax! I was so worried about other people having fun and trying to be a nice Bride with my vendors. I wanted everyone to have a great experience! Pam sweetly reminded me that with some of the more opinionated vendors it was ok to tell them what I wanted. They were working for us. She truly has a gift for creating a special event, putting even the most uptight of Brides at ease, and I just cannot thank her enough! Pam, you're wonderful, Thank you!!

nning the wedding. She was the perfect mix of professional and friend. One of my favorite things she said to me was that she would never make me look like a crazy bride, she would do my dirty work (the things I really wanted done, but didn't want to look like a bridezilla) and everyone would just think it was her fault because she doesn't have to be around my family and friends again, but I do. As it got closer to my wedding, I told Pam I didn't want to be involved in anymore of the add-ons that my mother was insisting on (personalized wine glasses and programs during ceremony). I literally heard nothing about this again and just saw them the day of and they were beautiful. Also, Pam knows so many vendors and has a personal relationship with them. So whatever you have in mind that you want, she probably knows somebody that can do it! If you want a wonderful wedding experience for your wedding day, then hire Pam. She will help you realize the wedding of your dreams!

o say the least. We had an untraditional home wedding held outdoors.. most of our vendors and guests were traveling from out of town, we were under questionable weather all the way to the last minute AND we had an emergency during service. Yet Mrs. Pam showed up in a big way and saved the day for us. I can't say this enough - there was no shortage of challenges at our wedding and we would have been in deep trouble if it wasn't for Moments. Pam and her team were incredibly organized and thorough throughout the planning stages and the execution at the event just about saved our wedding. Our guests still talk about Pam's work ethics and amazing attitude. If you want your wedding planner to be experienced, positive, react quickly/calmly/kindly under adversity and be an amazing human being with a huge heart, than Mrs. Pam and the Moments team is the right match for you. Thank you Pam, from the bottom of my heart.

h of the 'planning' on my own but she was there to poke and prod me to make sure I was doing what I needed to be doing in a timely fashion. The weeks right before my wedding I really wasn't stressed out at all! Knowing me if I didn't have her from the beginning I would have procrastinated everything till the last moment. The week before the wedding I gave her my 'wedding pile' of everything that I had accumulated to be used at the ceremony/reception. That way, the day of, I really didn't have to do a thing. Pam and her associate set up everything so that when I showed up at the venue around 3 it was already done! I know that Pam worked her butt off during the ceremony - and to be honest I don't even know what she was doing - but I know that everything seemed perfect so I know she did her job well! One of my main concerns was that my mother would be stressed out because she played a heavy role in the planning and she's the type to volunteer for anything and everything. She had a WONDERFUL time and I know it was all because Pam was there to make sure everything went perfect and my mother didn't have to do a thing the day of. I really can't rave enough about Pam and I know I will be singing her praises to every person I can for years to come.

ect from start to finish because of Pam and her team.

essity for both she and I to be able to create the wedding she envisioned. Well, "good wedding planner" is a huge understatement when it came to Pam and her team. After researching and interviewing other Planners, we knew immediately that Pam was the ONE. She is organized beyond compare and uses all tools and resources available. She was always available, professional, kind, honest and FUN. Nothing is out of reach for her and her team. Pam always made us feel that my daughter's wedding was the only one she was working on, we always received undivided attention. I cannot stress enough the value of an amazing planner for your wedding and that Planner is Pam Durham with Moments Events and Planning!

e in planning our 25th Wedding Anniversary! We sincerely appreciated their guidance and suggests throughout the entire process. Any questions or concerns we had, they were only a phone call away. They did an exemplary job; so kind, thoughtful, and professional – they were there for us every step of the way. Their top-notched referrals and associates were a pleasure to work with. All of our guests were impressed with all the aspects of our wedding anniversary and so were we. The ceremony was beautiful, so much so that neither one of us could barely contain our emotions. The reception was absolutely gorgeous!! It was worth every penny! The entire day was absolutely beautiful! Everything went smooth and worry-free and we were able to focus on each other and our loved ones thanks to the hard work of Moments and their staff. There were so many compliments made about the ceremony and the reception; from the food, to the service, and the décor. They really outdid theirselves! We had a wonderful time and so did our guests! We’ve already recommended them to many of our family and friends. Thanks to Moments for making our 25th Wedding Anniversary a lifelong memory!! It was everything we dreamt it would be and more! Love T & P X 2!!

help was invaluable. She helped us get in touch with great vendors. Her value increased exponentially as we got closer to the date of the wedding - she had a rain plan for us, everything scheduled out for our families, and took care of the issues that arose the day of (and we stayed blissfully unaware of them until way after the wedding). She was a great help and was a pleasure to work with. She helped us plan our perfect wedding!

embrace. As I started booking a venue, I booked a location that sounded great and seemed perfect/unique. When I started searching around for wedding planners, I talked to several companies but was looking for someone that had their own style and respected my budget, thoughts, and values. That is what I found in Pam and her team. As soon as we had our first meeting, we knew she was the right person. Pam helped me through a rocky start as the venue I booked turned out having more problems as the months passed. She worked with me through the holiday season to find the perfect venue that worked with our budget. She was completely attentive throughout the entire process. Another amazing aspect was that she had never planned an Indian wedding, yet she took the time and effort to educate herself and become familiar with the rituals and traditions. I respected that to a high degree. I was starting my first semester of pharmacy school and Pam was very flexible in terms of checkpoint meetings and working with my schedule completely to sync up. On the wedding day, her team was amazing. I wasn't worried about one thing and she took care of everything. Even though I was involved in all the details up to the day, she made sure everything was executed well and even dealt with tough vendors that had poor etiquette and communication. At the end of the day, I didn't just have a great wedding because I hired Pam and her team -- Instead, I feel like I made a friend for life that will always be around to talk when I am having a bad day and will be around through other MOMENTS in my life.

" (I even did my own flowers) words cannot express how much a necessity Moments Events is your wedding! I highly recommend Pam! She made me feel calm and 100% in control in those final moments of utter craziness. I used Moments Events for the 'Weekend Of Package' but honestly I got so much more than that, I walked away with a friend. I could not of done it with Pam and Moments Events!

hs to plan it. She understands that "bridezilla" my come out at anytime and helps talk you down. The day was perfect! I knew I had nothing to worry about because Pam was on it. I enjoyed working with Pam so much, I want to come up with a reason to have a party just to work with her again. You won't be disappointed. She was always available, energetic and just a real person.

iron out all the details.' We utilized the one month planning package and it included so much more than your typical 'day of coordinator.' Pam made a detailed schedule, coordinated with all my vendors and found me replacement vendors when some of them fell through. She also fully organized and executed the rehearsal dinner arrangements ( this was for an extra fee of coarse but was well worth it! ). When my mother came into town a week before the wedding--knowing how little time I had spent planning--she was very worried, but one meeting with Pam quelled her fears. She is a great listener and can help steer you through any unexpected hurdles that arise as you approach the big day. Using Moments was by far the best investment I made during my wedding planning process.

at GREAT is all I have to say :)

oom informed of to do lists, budgets and your calendar of events (which gets pretty busy). She has great relationships with wedding vendors but I suggest that you get other estimates before selecting a vendor recommendation. Also be sure you have a vision for your wedding day prior to initial meeting, this will make the planning process much easier.

upport of Operation Enduring Freedom. During the planning phase she kept me informed on everything and helped steer me in the right direction when putting this all together ensuring that I was always feeling comfortable with every decision and never rushing things even when they quite possibly needed to be. When I finally arrived in the States she assisted me in the final preperations and even assisted in getting me reservations to a fine dining resturant in Galveston, TX for the right atmosphere for me to re-pop the question to my wife. On our big day, while issues came up due to family and friends, Pam kept a cool head and assured me that everything was still on point even though my Military background continued to pull at me for percision to time. During every point she insured that both my wife and I had an amazing time and were finally able to give my wife of 10 years and her family and friends the wedding she deserved. I highly recommend Pam and her staff for any event you may have coming up and in the future would love to utilize her skills in doing more.

y) oblivious to any little fires that crept up, as Pam handled them without me ever having to know (until after the wedding, and by then, it didn't matter anymore! Lol!) I gave her company one less star on quality/service only bc there were a few things/ideas that didn't happen the way I planned them; but they were so small, it really didn't make a difference in the big picture of what happened that day. I also completely appreciate her team, especially since we had such a big event, but I wish that she had been with me when I was getting dressed. It would've been nice to share that moment with her after spending 11 months together planning the big day. She was definitely handling her business though!! Pam is ABSOLUTELY PRICELESS the week of two before your wedding. She has her way of planning her team and coordinating all your vendors and acts as the main contact for all that goes on. It was really cool to see her transition from "ok, what's on your mind for this wedding?" (thought and brainstorming process) to "let's do this" (making your MOMENT happen). I also loved the online office we used to share ideas and communicate (planner, bride, groom, and mother of the bride). I highly recommend that if you are a control freak (like I am) - let Pam know from the start...I think I put my hand in too many things and caused myself more stress when Pam def could've handled it. Highly recommended for quality service and and MOMENT you will never forget!!!

veston area. The thing about weddings is that unexpected things will happen, and when they do, you'll want Pam and her team on your side. I knew Pam was great from the beginning, but I realized what a lifesaver she was when, just 10 days before the wedding, we had to reschedule our entire rehearsal dinner, for 90 people (long story, but basically we arranged the rehearsal details before we hired Pam, and when we ended up with more RSVPs than expected, we had to relocate). As soon as we told Pam what happened, she had several other ideas in mind, and found us another amazing place to have the dinner, and even managed to get us a $500 discount on the space! The rehearsal dinner turned out to be amazing, and at the end of the night I realized I'd wanted to donate any leftover food to a homeless shelter, but had forgot to mention that to Pam, or to anyone. Just as the dinner was winding down I thought to ask Pam if we could donate the food, and in 10 minutes she'd arranged for the caterers to pack up the leftovers, and for someone from the homeless shelter to come by and pick it all up. Amazing! But it doesn't stop there. The photographer my husband and I hired had to move to a different state 4 months before the wedding; Pam referred us to another fantastic one the next day. When our ceremony happened much more quickly than anyone expected, and guests turned up at the cocktail hour early, Pam had the caterers get into shape fast, and they had salads and drinks on the tables in just a few minutes. Pam will go with whatever your plan is, and what's really crucial, is that she will have a plan B and a plan C ready when your plan goes off course. Plus she's an amazingly sweet and caring woman who is a joy to interact with. She was our magical fairy during the entire wedding, making sure everything got done, and every problem was dealt with, without me or my groom having to worry about it or even know about it. What a lifesaver! As an added plus, her assistants are amazingly lovely too! Pam, we can't thank you enough!

and she answers questions at ALL times of the day. I didn't trust anyone with making sure out wedding was executed the way we wanted (not even my own mother), but the moment I met Pam, I knew she should would make sure all of the other vendors would do what they were suppose to. The day of the wedding, Pam has the most amazing team working with her. They are the sweetest people you'll ever meet, and they are there to make sure your day goes as smoothly as possible. Every penny paid to Pam was well worth it, she handled everything, and the day of my wedding I did not have to worry about anything, because I knew it was all is good hands!

th Moments Event’s Planning was the most punctual, poised and organized. Before the first interview she had me setup with her online planning software, adding a milestone for our initial consultation. At the consultation, she was very detailed at explaining her services and at the end, voluntarily offered a list of references. Her day of event services actually start 6 weeks prior to the event. Since my event was very unique, she was very accommodating. She took the ship tour with my maid & matron of honor and I, to get an understanding of the ship. Leading up to the wedding she was always there to talk to as the stress and drama of wedding increased. She handled the rehearsal and instructing the wedding party on what to do and when to do it. On the day of the wedding, even though I didn’t see her much, I knew she was there, as everything was exactly how I wanted it. She extinguished any and all fires, as there was never a point where anything was brought to my attention. Everything was just done. And I know it took a lot. The one and only issue I had, was that were was a breakdown in communication on what was expected for breakfast the day of the wedding, as my bridesmaids were left with no food until the reception.. Knowing Pam, I know she would do anything I requested within reason. Given the uniqueness of a cruise wedding, I know WITHOUT a doubt that my wedding would NOT have been MYYY wedding without the help of Pam! I’m forever grateful for her services. https://picasaweb.google.com/115970343514951528126/WeddingItems?authkey=Gv1sRgCMCE_u-IouHTrAE#5787105295943472882

ts and staff attended to all of our wedding details. Though we had a small wedding of 120 guests, Pam had herself and 3 others working our wedding. Pam ensured that there was a staff member handling the church details, while Freida handled the reception details, she had Tess attending to me exclusively, and of course all the while Pam communicated and coordinated with each of my vendors directly! She runs an excellent and well coordinated service. Pam is also very accessible and prompt to emails and phone calls. Due to Pam's amazing handling of all the details at our wedding, my husband and I got to enjoy our fabulous wedding without being bothered about the little stuff. We had such an amazing time without any stress! We truly got to have our cake and eat it too! We found her services to be invaluable and beyond our expectations. Thank you for helping to make our wedding a dream come true. Best Regards, Mr.&Mrs. Van Volkenburg

r my wedding day. She is definitely a force to be reckoned with in action. Wedding was scheduled for 4:30pm and at 3pm we had no chairs for guests. Major hiccup for any bride! Pam took the situation by the reins and came out victorious as by 4:15 we had Plan B chairs. They went exactly what I wanted but matched the decor still. Amazingly enough, I walked down Only 15 minutes late down the ailse. Which as everyone knows suited me perfect- as I am late for mostly everything. Thanks Pam and your team for saving my day from utter disaster! P.S- she must have a connection to God as the rain never came even though it was a bit threatening. :) I also had a very "detailed" wedding. A couple of days ahead of a low down of exactly what I wanted would have helped. My fault though as it was incredibly busy for me with lots of family from out of town/ country.
