Ever After Events

While my husband was deployed and all my family was on the mainland, I began to plan our official wedding celebration. While I began making plans, I felt like I needed help. When I first spoke to Shereen on the phone, we instantly connected and bonded over wedding plans and ideas. Our first meeting was very eye opening to me, realizing the plans I made at an Oceanside park was going to end up being way over my budget. Overwhelmed, Shereen got me back on track, and helped me reconstruct the wedding, offering me vendors she worked with, and helping me stay within my budget.
Shereen was by my side throughout the whole process, from color schemes, décor suggestions, to hammering out timeline details, she mad me feel secure in all the plans. Although my wedding was small, she remembered details I would have left out.
The day of went seamlessly, and even if there was a hiccup, as the bride, I didn’t know anything about it! (appreciated!) Walking into my reception was a dream come true. It was decorated exactly how I envisioned and everything was amazing!
If you are planning out in Hawaii, or on the mainland, Shereen will leave you impressed with her attention to detail and her knack for organization. Best and most worth it wedding investment EVER!

We rented lawn games through Shereen just a week before our wedding and she was so prompt in responding. On the day of the wedding she even had to step in to trouble shoot for a few minutes and was so sweet about it. We really appreciated her help and flexibility that day.

This is my long overdue review of Shereen & Ever After Events! I guess I wanted to make sure my marriage would last at least 3 years first (just kidding). Let me start off by saying I ABSOLUTELY LOVE SHEREEN. She just has this great bubbly personality, seems genuinely excited to work with you and you can tell right off the bat that she can take charge when need be.
Shereen did our day of coordination back in February 2010 for our wedding in California, and she went above and beyond what we paid for. When my husband and I first met her, she showed up with everything all organized into this cute little folder. We decided to only hire her for her day of coordination services (since I already had the majority of my vendors locked down), but that came with (I think) around 20 hours of pre-​wedding assistance that I don’t know what I could have done without. We lived in Virginia at that time, so on one of her trips out east she came to our house and sat with us for 3 – 4 hours to help us plan out all the nitty gritty details of the big day. On one of my visits out to California, she came with my mom, MOH and I to the country club for our menu tasting. That first tasting went horribly, but she was able to get the chef to prepare a whole new tasting for us in the next hour (even though that new menu wasn’t even part of the wedding catering options). As we got closer to the wedding, I remember her spending a good chunk of time on the phone with me finalizing out the wedding schedule. She did a great job during rehearsal and coordinating all of my vendors. Finally, on our wedding day she was there with us from morning to night (no cap on the # of hours), and she even ended the night with a cute little goody basket for us. Shereen was able to help us make our wedding day one of the best and most perfect days ever!
My whole bridal party loved her! In fact, I just found out she’s doing the day of wedding coordination for my bestie in Maui! They’re actually flying her over to Maui from Oahu and booking a hotel for her. Yup, they bypassed all of the wedding coordinators in Maui and chose Ever After Events. That’s how good Shereen is!
Shereen, I can’t wait to see you in Maui and for you to meet our little one!

We planned our destination wedding from Chicago with the help of Shereen. We had never been to Hawaii but thanks to Shereen sending us photos and videos we were able to choose a beautiful venue for our wedding. The Modern Honolulu hotel was more perfect than we could imagine for our event. We were particularly concerned about the food and cake, as we were not able to taste either beforehand. We trusted Shereen’s advice on both and both were a hit at the wedding. Everything was delicious. Shereen assisted with planning step by step to make sure that no details were missed. She made awesome recommendations and was always mindful of our budget. The day of the wedding my now husband and I, were able to enjoy a relaxing breakfast before I had to get started with hair and make-​up, etc. Shereen made sure that I had everything in order and that everything ran smoothly. I could not imagine our day going any smoother, thanks to Shereen. At the end of the night all we had to do was go up to our hotel room. Shereen had already made sure to take our gifts and wedding items up to our room. She made sure to have extra pieces of wedding cake waiting for us in our room as well, which was a great snack at the end of a long day! Hiring Shereen was definitely a great choice.

I’m a month out from my wedding and am so relieved and happy that I decided to hire Shereen as my wedding coordinator. Hands down, it has been the best spent money on my entire wedding. I met her following her Living Social deal and debated for a long time (several months) about spending the extra cash on something I think am perfectly capable of doing. I am organized and structured and have planned big events before, but as time went on I became overwhelmed and distressed planning it alone. My fiancé and family (from the mainland) offered their help, but will not arrive until three days before the wedding. The thought of delegating and coordinating everyone’s roles in the days before the wedding seemed unnecessarily burdensome to both me and my family. Hence, I recontacted Shereen and was thrilled she was willing to take me on as a client.
Shereen’s excitement and passion are contagious. There were times when I really just wanted to be done planning and could have cared less about the details (e.g., whether to have programs or not, or which paper to buy for escort cards), but she remained upbeat and revived my excitement! From recommending vendors and securing discounts to brainstorming innovative and creative ideas that fit us, Shereen has been amazing! She’s professional, reliable, and prompt and works within your budget and needs. I’ll sleep well during these last three weeks before the wedding, knowing Shereen has everything under control!
