A Monique Affair

Chanda from A Monique Affair was the first vendor that I hired when I started planning our 11.11.11 wedding. She was on the ball from the very beginning. She helped us to find a venue, choose a caterer, select a photographer, and secure most of our other vendors. It was especially helpful having someone prescreen our vendors. Everyone we met knew our vision for the day and already knew our budget - very helpful! Leading up to the wedding, she was very reassuring and triple checked every detail so we didn't have to. On the day of the event, Chanda and her team provided excellent service. All we had to worry about was having a good time. Several of our guests remarked it was the best wedding they had ever been to and I have to agree!

A wedding planner is someone that you want who you can completely trust, is organized, detailed and can execute your vision - that is exactly what Chanda did! She was able to manage everything on a tight timeline, communicated well with other vendors and above all made sure that we were calm and everything was what we were expecting. During the planning process, she always asked the right questions to be sure she understood our vision and once the day rolled around, she was able to execute all of the details independently.

Chanda was amazing! We hired her as a day of coordinator about a month before our wedding - admittedly late in the game. As the date approached we realized more and more that it would be really nice to have someone at the venue who could competently make sure that everything was going as planned. Chanda's ability to listen to our vision and assure us that we were on the right track helped us relax so much more during the last month of planning! On the day of our wedding, neither one of us had to worry for one second that things weren't going well in our absence. I had 100% confidence that Chanda had my back as a bride....and everything went SO smoothly. The greatest thing of all was knowing that even if things didn't go smoothly, I didn't have to hear about it because I knew Chanda would take care of it without having to involve me. Hiring a wedding coordinator in the final stages of planning could have been hugely expensive, but Chanda was able to work within our very tight budget! A Monique Affair was worth every penny!

A Monique Affair started with us when we only had a few ideas and brought our wedding to a carefully orchestrated, beautiful, and relaxing evening. Chanda selected a few high-quality florists, caterers and cake makers, arranged the tasting and viewings, then guided us through the process to put all the pieces together. I ended up being able to spend time with my family and friends rather than feeling frazzled with the details during our wedding, dinner and reception. One quality in which she excels, and that really sets her apart, is calm attentiveness. I recommended her to a friend who got married this weekend, and again saw the kindness and peace in the midst of the flurry. She handled the stressful bits so the couple could sail forward in ease. Her coordinated notes on a clipboard are impressive!

A Monique Affair was one of the best experience of my life. I enjoyed every moment of planning my wedding, it was fun and drama free. Chanda is polite and professional, I enjoyed working with her for my wedding and even had her coordinate my baby shower 10 months after the wedding. Thank You, A Monique Affair for making my dream day happen.
