    I worked with Shelly Taylor for our wedding in Young Harris, GA and was blown away. She is both professional and fun to work with. I went with the Month of Coordination package and walked away feeling like I got so much more. She was the perfect person to bounce ideas off of and was kind enough to offer her expertise/feedback long before we hit the actual month of. By the time the BIG DAY arrived we were on our 3rd Sales Manager with our venue. This was one of those surprises you never think to plan for. Luckily, we had Shelly in our corner. Trust me, that is a PRICELESS feeling! Shelly is nothing short of amazing at her job. Thank you for helping us create the perfect day! :)

    Laurie Hartwell Events fully expressed professionalism to the highest extent. I found that each staff member I came in contact with was fully equipped with the proper abilities needed to execute their specific tasks. The organization skills of this vendor are phenomenal. Personally, I am a very organized person, and to be presented with a color coded itinerary with precise details, times, and instructions was outstanding! Laurie Hartwell Events took full responsibility of all the communication with my florist, rental companies, venue staff members, and much more. I was able to calmly sit back and fully trust that my wedding would be a successful and gorgeous event. I would absolutely recommend this vendor to any bride searching for fast and efficient productivity, as well as excellent communication. I cannot express enough how thankful I am for the wonderful opportunity to work with this vendor. I would not have been able to plan (or even think of) each and every tiny detail without them!! Everything was flawless!! Thank you Laurie, and team members, for the most stunning wedding of my dreams!!

    I really cannot explain how grateful I am for Shelly and Laurie! They were such a help during the whole planning process, and the day of my wedding was so much fun because of how detailed and organized they were. Throughout the planning process, Shelly stayed ahead of everything, recommended vendors (all of which I went with and loved)! She also went to vendor-client meetings and asked questions that I was unsure of or wouldn't had thought of asking. They were quick to respond and always patient with me changing my mind. They really helped my vision come together, and my wedding truly was a fairy tale. I couldn't have had such a memorable, amazing wedding without these ladies, and I would recommend them to any bride!

    It was such a pleasure assisting you throughout the planning process and on your wedding day! Thank you for letting us be a part of such a memorable day in your life!

    From the first time I met with Laurie & Shelly I knew that I not only wanted, but needed them to help with my wedding. From the first meeting, to them smoothly guiding me through the planning process, all the way to my big day- Shelly helped me stay on track while planning, set me up with the best vendors, even went along to vendor meetings with me (which was such a help-she knew the questions and details to ask). Not only is Shelly super professional, she is the sweetest soul. I highly recommend A Wedding to Remember to any bride. I don't know how I could have done it without them!

    A Wedding to Remember is by far the best wedding planning company in the industry!!!! Georgia planners, Shelly and Laurie, are top notch when it comes to communication, organization, timeliness and being personable. With all the stresses and going ons throughout the wedding planning process, Shelly and Laurie were there to keep me on track, help with important decisions, give guidance on etiquette, and ease my bridal mind. I am forever grateful that these ladies were there to help our wedding dreams come to fruition. I was a detailed, organized bride for the most part but there were things that I would have never thought of if it wasn't for their expertise. The addition of gold chargers and more candles at each table truly made all the difference in making the night more spectacular for us and our guests.


    There was nothing that couldn't be done when it came down to things we had hoped for at our wedding - like teaching the venue staff the napkin folds we loved via video tutorial by Laurie and making sure that we got a private dinner alone as husband and wife at the reception (which is something looking back on that we will forever cherish). We could not have done those things alone and for that we applaud Shelly and Laurie.


    As each week passed on and we all grew closer throughout the year of planning, I knew that the ties of friendship would not end on our wedding night. Shelly and Laurie are like family to us now, having shared in the most important day of our lives as a couple. It was an absolute joy getting to having them be such a huge part of the planning and execution of our wedding day. Nothing else compares to not feeling stressed or worried on your wedding day about all those details you have been putting together over the past however many months. All those things are important and Shelly and Laurie know how to handle it all while you just take it all in, be the beautiful bride and enjoy spending time with your husband and guests.

    Words can't express just how perfect our wedding day was on Sept. 20, 2014 at Brasstown Valley Resort! Laurie and Shelly were absolutely fantastic from start to finish. I enjoyed every minute of the planning process. While we were involved in every decision about our big day - they were always one step ahead of me which made everything so much easier in terms of planning.

    And, the best part of all was that I was able to enjoy my wedding day! I wasn't stressed out about anything - I knew that Shelly and Laurie were taking care of everything throughout the entire day and into the night!

    I am so grateful for their ideas, hands on approach and support! They are true professionals who kept me laughing and smiling from the minute we first started working with them.

    A big thank you to the dynamic duo - our day wouldn't have been as special and personalized without A Wedding to Remember.

    P.s. - I miss our daily, weekly, and monthly chats!

    I cannot give A Wedding to Remember enough praise!

    Working with them was an absolutely amazing experience and I would highly recommend them to any bride looking for a stress free wedding. My wedding planner, Maria, was truly amazing. Prior to the wedding she was on top of every detail and during the wedding she truly made me feel stress free and allowed my husband and I to really enjoy our day. Out of all the vendors we choose, A Wedding to Remember was by far the most exceptional and definitely provided us with the best value for our money. Hiring this company was the best decision we made for our wedding, my only regret was not hiring them earlier in the process!

    AWTR consists of the most professional, innovative, hard-working and friendly individuals every bride dreams of having in a wedding planner. Laurie Hartwell and her team makes those dreams become a reality. They handled every detail from the beginning to the very end and never left one stone unturned.

    I had the best experience working with Shelly from A Wedding to Remember. From the very beginning, she was so nice and helpful. She'd check in with me via email and talk to me on the phone whenever I had a question or concern about my wedding reception. Shelly was very organized and kept detailed notes and created a timeline that outlined everything from the very beginning to the very end of my wedding. She gave this out to all of my vendors and coordinated with them, so I didn't have to worry if a vendor was on time or where he/she needed to set up equipment. I feel that working with Shelly was like working with my best friend - she listened to me and offered excellent advice. She was easy-going and made me feel at-ease with the whole wedding process. I highly recommend Shelly and A Wedding to Remember to any bride!

    Victoria surpassed all expectations of organizing and facilitating a smooth wedding day! She was so calm and personable to work with that leaves you with a reassurance and trust that details will be taken care of. Even when the event finished and it was almost midnight, I texted with a question of what to do, and she was still taking care of us. What a relief to have had Victoria as our wedding planner. She was so worth the extra expense. We were able to relax and enjoy the entire day.

    Victoria and Wedding to Remember were fantastic! I could not have planned and executed our wedding without her (and I like to think of myself as pretty self-sufficient). She answered all of my crazy e-mails quickly and patiently, made sure the day would flow seamlessly, and took care of absolutely everything for us on the day of. During planning, she was encouraging of things I wanted to do but wasn't sure of, and would politely steer me away from things that in retrospect were probably not such a good idea (I'm looking at you, paper aisle runner outdoors). We had no problems on our wedding day, or at least no mishaps that I'm aware of (which are the best kind for the bride), and she handled last minute requests with grace.

    She took care of us from start to finish. I would definitely recommend her; it was worth every penny!

    The charity fundraiser that AWTR helped us with was a HUGE success! Because of their expertise, knowledge, and professionalism we were able to throw a first class event. AWTR was extremely helpful in all aspects of planning our event from beginning to end. We could not have done this without them!

    Victoria Paone was an absolute delight to work with. She took so much of the stress and work out of planning our wedding that we were able to simply enjoy the weekend with family and friends. So much went into making this event happen, and it was only through her competent handling of every vendor and every little detail along the way. We keep getting compliments on how much fun and beautiful our wedding was, and that has been incredibly gratifying. I would highly recommend Victoria to anyone who wants an amazing wedding without an amazing ulcer.

    Victoria Paone was are wedding day of coordinator. Let me start out by first saying I Can't say enough wonderful things about her but I will do my best! Our day was so much more than expected! I never worried about a thing from the moment I handed over all my paperwork! She was amazing!!! She made sure that not only were my husband and the vendors on schedule but our bridal party and extended family as well. If there were any problems I never heard of them! When I walked into the room my breath was taken away, Victoria worked very hard to piece every little detail together. The only reason my husband and I could enjoy ourselves was because of her! Andas a bonus she made sure we ate!!! She was extremly organized, promt, friendly and professional!
    Thank you tori for everything you did for us!!!!!

    Victoria was our wedding planner, and she was so amazing and wonderful! I can't think how I would have done any of this without her. She just made the entire day extra special, handled everything with a smile on her face, and convinced me quite a few times not to throw in the towel and cancel the whole event when it got too stressful. I don't live in the same state where the wedding was, so having her there to take care of everything was the best decision I ever made regarding the wedding (second only to choosing the groom, of course!)

    The wedding world is a better one because she's there to grab the reigns and steer you in the right direction. Can I start a fan club?

    Thank you so much for everything. This was spectacular thanks to her.

    My daughter's vision for her wedding was a beautiful destination wedding in Florida with her many friends and family and as the mother of the bride I envisioned a daunting undertaking. How to make that happen from so far away not knowing anything about the area.Victoria and A Wedding to Remember made my daughter's vision of her special day come true beyond her expectations and did it in a way that was professional, supportive and non stressful for both the bride and her mother. Victoria was so very helpful throughout the process and having her part of the planning made it so much easier for my daughter and I to resolve any issues that came up and allowed us both to enjoy the planning process. It was wonderful to give my daughter the wedding she envisioned and to do it within my budget and be able to enjoy the day because Victoria took care of all the details from start to finish. We received so many compliments from our guests. I think so highly of Victoria and A Wedding to Remember I recommend them to anyone planning their wedding! Thank you, Victoria, could not have done it without you!

    From the inital meeting until exiting our venue, Victoria with A Wedding to Remember made me feel like I was the most important person in her world. I was a bride without a vision, or so I thouhgt, but Victoria kindly provided me with suggestions and gently pulled my wants and brought them to life. My husband and I fused two cultures into one and Victoria made all of our guest comfortable with her reception layout.

    Although my wedding planner went on vacation, my wedding planning did not stop. My emails were quickly answered by the company's owner in her absence.

    I would recommend A Wedding to Remember to ANY bride. This was hands down the best decision I made. There is no way I could have pulled off the wedding of my dreams without Victoria and A Wedding to Remember!!!

    Our wedding planner, Victoria, was excellent! Had I known all along how smoothly our actual wedding day was going to "go" I would never have missed an ounce of sleep with worry. Victoria brought a level of calmness to us through out the entire process and on the actual wedding day I simply wanted to kiss her-she made our wedding beyond perfect. We hired her to provide every detail of our wedding from start to finish and through this process I have grown to admire her skill sets. You will not regret your decision to use A Wedding To Remember--ask for Victoria!
