I took my leap of faith in the summer of 2022 with my event planning business. Event planning and creative design have always been a passion of mine, but at that time, I had yet to pursue the idea. The idea of wanting to start a family is what got my idea in motion to make it a reality! I wanted to be able to manage my hours that would allow me to be a stay-at-home mom, all while still having something to call my own without that ‘something’ being a 9-5p office job.
My website is a great guide to view my packages & pricing. It tells you exactly who you are getting when you book with me, how the process works step by step, and even interactive options to help guide you to what package may be best! My goal is to make your event as stress-free as possible! Especially when most of my clients are wedding clients, it’s important not to get caught up in the stress of planning and to remember the valid reasons you’re getting married in the first place. People can lose sight of that quickly. From full planning, day of coordination, décor set up/tear down, or just décor rentals, I have all the options, no matter your budget or vision! To sum up our process, I’ve put it in simple steps below:
“I’ll be honest, I felt overwhelmed and in over my head with planning my 250+ wedding in May. I did a ton of research on the knot website and that’s where I found Brooke (owner). She responded to my email so quickly and wasn’t afraid to start talking about a plan instantly. Once documents were signed and it became official, she truly made my life so much easier!! She made things so well organized, built a great timeline involving all vendors, communicated with everyone (vendors, venue, parents, bridal party) including sending our bridal party PDFs of what to expect and what to not forget. She resolved a lot of the anxiety I had related to getting everyone on the same page. Everything she has done for me has been handled with strong professionalism and so much kindness. She made me feel like I mattered and I could tell she just genuinely cares about her clients which is such a rare find nowadays. Multiple vendors went out of their way to tell me how impressed they were with her communication too. Also when it came to cost, I felt she was within a reasonable/obtainable range. There were payment plan options which helped. In general, I could not be more appreciative that she was available for my date and now in only 10 days, she will be making my dream wedding come true. Thank you Brooke for all that you do. You are a blessing.”
“Brooke was amazing to work with. She was very detail oriented, attentive, and a breath of fresh air. She was so responsive and ALWAYS on top of everything. Her care and passion for our wedding exceeded our expectations… We felt like she treated our wedding like it was her own. :) And that speaks volumes. She always offered help and/or would help without being asked. She took matters in her own hands when she deemed it was necessary, and we adored that about her because, as the bride and groom, you do not need to be aware of the small, inane things. When there were things that were of importance, however, she did come to us. We appreciate that she picked and chose when to come to us with issues. Simply put, and as I said earlier, she was amazing to work with. I cannot explain it, but she has this calm aura to her and it was so appreciated because wedding planning is beyond stressful! We highly recommend her as a wedding planner. Her and her team were amazing! She was worth every penny and we were so glad we asked for more assistance because they killed it! Thank you, Forever and Always Event Planning.”
“Brooke at Forever and Always Events deserves all the stars and more! She was an absolute godsend throughout our entire wedding planning journey. Her attention to detail was mind-blowing. She thought of things we would have never even considered, ensuring that every aspect of our wedding was flawless. From the big picture to the tiniest details, she had it all covered. What truly sets her apart is her exceptional coordination skills. She worked seamlessly with all of our vendors, making sure everyone was on the same page. On the wedding day, everything flowed perfectly, and it was all thanks to her meticulous planning. We genuinely couldn't have had the wedding we did without her. She turned our dreams into a reality, and we are forever grateful for her dedication and expertise. If you want your wedding day to be stress-free and absolutely perfect, she's the one you need by your side. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!”
“Brooke was amazing to work with as a vendor! I am a bridal hair and makeup artist and she made it absolutely seamless, organized, and coordinated everything so perfectly with me! I am slightly a perfectionist myself and truly appreciate fast and thorough communication and she checked every box!! I love her bright and bubbly personality and no matter what was thrown her way, she handled with grace and a big smile on her face! I look forward to working with her side by side through many more bridal parties and events!”
“Brooke was the planner for our fall wedding at The Treasury! Brooke was on top of every detail. She was very attentive towards the client and all vendors, ensuring great communication so that everyone knew all details related to the event. She was present for the rehearsal and ceremony to ensure everything started on time and the client felt supported during this process. It was great having her apart of the team for another successful wedding! We hope to have her back at The Treasury very soon!”
“I don't know if I can put into words how Brooke (Forever and Always Event Planning) made our wedding day the most memorable and seamless day- she succeeded in making it the best day of our lives. Brooke has an incredible attention to detail, the best organization skills, and most importantly the biggest heart. She truly cares for her clients and their families, and she feels like family by the end of the process. My husband and I could not be happier or more grateful to Brooke- you are the best of the best. Thank you for everything.”
