meet the team
established in 2003
Our planning studio prefers not to be a big company because we believe in giving our clients the personal attention they deserve when planning weddings. While we have a private studio, we offer concierge services by meeting clients at their venue, their home, or a location that is convenient and suitable for them.
With a unique approach to events, we do not accept the old adage “this is the way it’s always been done”. We may break the rules and shake things up. It’s your celebration, don’t you deserve to have it be special and unique, like you?
saundra hadley
owner and event planner
What I’ve learned in planning all these weddings over the years is that there are no two weddings exactly alike. At least not with my clients.
I’m not your typical event planner, both the pretty and the logistics are exciting to me. Schematics, timelines, and to-do lists make me happy – which is good because often that is what most clients dread the most.
One of my secret powers is to listen carefully to my clients and understand what they want or need which is super helpful to you as we make decisions or edit your choices. And if you like people who are direct and love to laugh, we’ll be friends.
Saundra and her planning team were beyond wonderful. They are easy to work with, great with communication, and absolutely AMAZING at what they do. If there was anything that when wrong at our wedding, I never knew about it. Their design and décor were BEAUTIFUL and more perfect than I ever imagined! Saundra took my vision and turned it into a gorgeous reality. HIGHLY recommend! planning…forever events were the absolute BEST decision we made!!

event planner
I’ve been planning events for over a decade and started my career planning disaster response activities. What a great experience transitioning to weddings! Because while I love a well-thought-out written plan, my specialty is to go with the flow and come up with new ideas on the fly.
Serving people is a passion of mine and making sure people are happy. If you’re not happy, then I’m not finished with my job. You’ll never see me crack under pressure. There’s always a smile, and you’ll never know what I’m REALLY thinking. *wink*
Being at your wedding and helping you create a day that you’ll remember forever, is not a job, it’s an honor. I can’t wait to meet you!

My advice to you when planning your wedding is to not forget your fur babies. If the venue doesn’t allow animals (grrrr), then go ahead and have a photo of your beloved four-legged family member at your reception!
Also if you can schedule getting an actual photo with your fur baby while you are dressed up, I guarantee you will be doggone happy!
Saundra, you are truly amazing and you go the extra mile to ensure your client is satisfied.
I can say our wedding would have been so different if I had not met you.
You understand me very well and we are so glad we hired you. We love you!
