    Still speechless

    SwaLaRue events is everything you want for your special day I mean everything. My husband and I decided to still get married despite the pandemic and when I tell you from the moment I hired SwaLaRue events my entire life was at peace. I never went a day without feeling at ease and I didn’t have to contact anyone for anything which was totally not what I expected.
    I’m still in awe of SwaLaRue and I recommend them to everyone. We had a Pandemic wedding and we were still named by some the wedding of the century. So blessed to have had Anshawe recommended!!

    SwaLaRue Events's reply:

    Thanks so much for your sweet sweet words. You and Anthony will be blessed in your union and so grateful to have met you! Can't wait to hear you singing one day!

    Mother of the Groom

    SwaLaRue....just awesome! The price was right! Ms. Anshwa was flexible in meeting with us to seal the deal. With work schedules all over the place flexibility was important. She was so patient to answer all the questions my son, my new daughter-in-law, my husband and myself had....questions we didn't even know we had! I love how passionate she is about her business and making the special day every thing one may dream of. Did I mention patient.....yes very patient! My daughter-in-law must have changed things a million times, but that didn't rock the boat at all! Ms. Anshwa and her staff remained cool and every thing was just Beautiful! I think my daughter-in-law vision came together.
    Thanks SwaLaRue

    The Best Event Ever


    I was in much need of an event planner and I met Anshwa she absolutely turned my vision into something GRAND! Anshwa is superb, very kind, outgoing, patient, very helpful and detail oriented. The decorations and the food were AWESOME! Very charismatic and genuine. Thank you so much for a wonderful, smooth, beautiful ceremony. It couldn’t have been any easier and you were wonderful. Would highly recommend to everyone.

    Every Brides Personal Angel

    I couldn't have been more stress free on this day!! Talk about detailed, efficient, super professional, and super sweet! Anshwa listened to my concerns and wishes, then took my hand and walked me through each step along the way to ensure all my dreams came true. Talk about great communication skills which every bride wants when planning the most important event of their lives! My big day wouldn't have unfolded in a smooth manner if it wasn't for Anshwa, and I thank God for her gift to have kept this anxious bride calm in the midst of multiple storms. 10/10 service, definitely exceeded my expectations and beyond!

    I wish I could her 10 STARS. The manner in which we came across her services was pretty much serendipity. She turned out to be our neighbor next door, and we received her mail in our mailbox. My wife (at the time fiancé) had just talked about maybe looking into possibly hiring a day-of coordinator, so I had started looking up reviews (I still hadn't dropped off her mail yet). So, while on weddingwire.com, I came across a name I recognized...turns out it was SwaLaRue Events (which I saw on the letter), and she had excellent reviews. What were the odds, right? So I dropped off her mail the following weekend and inquired about her services and left our contact info so she could get in touch. She came over for a meet & greet and we hit it off so great. Anshwa is so down-to-earth and a very soothing presence. She always had an upbeat attitude and very positive each time we interacted with her. She met with us a few times to make sure she had everything she needed, and if we had any questions at all. She even suggested new ideas we hadn't even been aware of, as well as helped us with vendor recommendations on the few that we had not decided on yet.

    On the day of the wedding, one vendor (one we had selected ourselves early on) pulled a very unprofessional move, and they decided they couldn't do the job they originally said they could do, and left the venue. Anshwa was able to rally one of her vendors on the spot, and they came out and handled business! She was already familiar with most of our vendors and everything fell into place for the night. She was on top of everything, and was pinpoint on the timeline, letting us know ahead of time when the next item on the timeline was about to take place and all of that. Honestly, the day and evening could not have gone any better and we are so happy that we hired her to oversee the big day. Thanks Anshwa! :)

    Anshwa and her team ensured that our wedding was memorable and unique! She provided awesome day-of coordination services to us for our 1920s themed wedding, bridal party and families. She covered the majority of the details for our wedding and any snags that ensued. There were several "incidents" that I learned about in the days and weeks following the wedding, but Anshwa was competent and handled them like a professional so that my husband and I could fully enjoy the day. I appreciate Anshwa's knowledge and the vendors she provided. She made the wedding planning process enjoyable at every turn. I'd use her again in a heartbeat, and you should too!

    I almost decided not to use Anshwa since my venue had a day-of-coordinator, but Anshwa assured me she would be very beneficial working directly with my other coordinator. I have to say, without her my wedding day would not have gone so perfectly, she made sure every little detail was perfect and she resolved any issues without stressing me out! I never knew of any issues until after the fact, my entire family raved about her and they took any small issues like missing flowers or seating problems and she took care of it all. She set up my candy bar, helped my sick flower girl and made sure I was completely stress free...Honestly, she was 100% better than my venue coordinator. She was prompt with phone calls and e-mails, and was present for my rehearsal dinner! She also made handouts for my bridal party that they all loved because they weren't sure about any timelines! She also made sure me and my new husband had to-go meals after the wedding! Aside from marrying the love of my life, she was the second best thing of my wedding...thanks to her I had the perfect wedding! Thanks Anshwa!

    The opportunity to work with Anshwa was very pleasant and progressive, especially as it was to celebrate in the welcoming of my firstborn. Overall, she was great at listening, offering helpful suggestions, and working with others to ensure that the event exceeded my expectations. I would recommend applicable services from Anshwa so that one can see firsthand how well she collaborates, organizes, communicates, and shows respect for and to her clients as well as others that she works with.

    Anshwa Lewis was my savor on my wedding day. I attempted to plan and run my wedding by myself. Once my wedding day crept closer, I quickly began to realize there was no way I could be the bride and run the big day. A few weeks before the wedding, I contacted Anshwa and asked her to run the wedding. I was completely amazed when she said yes. Transitioning all the details of the wedding to Anshwa was easier than I expected. She was able to familiarize herself with my plan and venders at an extremely short notice. Her flexibility and willingness to assist me allowed my husband, my guests, and I to fully enjoy the day. I am so happy I went with Anshwa, and I recommend her to anyone looking to have a stress free wedding day or party.

    I found this vendor on the Wedding Wire site in mid to late September. If you are looking for someone that can endure any situation that is not the case here. This vendor terminated the contract due to my email etiquette and her being "uncomfortable" when several times she told me I was neither rude or offensive. She terminated contract 7 months before my wedding date without even so much as a warning. Literally woke up and had an email that she was terminating contract due to HER being "uncomfortable" in which she NEVER UTTERED A WORD ABOUT PREVIOUSLY. Please always keep good records of how much you are spending because there were a couple of "accidents" in which I was quoted being charged for things that were either already charged to me or told they would be complimentary of the company. Beware and don't let the smile fool you.
