A Day To Remember

Warning all brides-to-be! Claudia de Velasco is a FRAUD! She is currently being sued by another bride because she took the couple's venue deposit money and did not give it to the venue. I have been forced to take legal action myself because she took my deposit (half of her fee for full service wedding planning) and ony provided lies, excuses, and delays. Her contract states the deposit is absolutely non refundable, but there is NO clause that protects you if SHE breaches the contract. A lesson I learned after the fact. When I expressed my unhappiness to Claudia about all of the extremely unprofessional behavior, she disappeared! And did not refund my money even though she did not provide the services that reside in the contract. Now, I saw a negative review from another bride where something similar happened, but A Day to Remember's overall ratings look very good so I hired them. DON'T BE FOOLED! If there is a slight chance that this might happen to you, why would you take it? Planning your wedding is supposed to be fun, and this company made it extremely stressful and expensive and just plain saddening. I cried, lost money that was not in the budget to begin with, missed out on time with my visiting out-of-town family to make up for her mistakes, etc. etc. Unfortunately, this website allows the vendor to comment on these rewiews, and Claudia is extremely good at lying, so please, just be smart and cautious about this company and trust that I am telling the truth!

Claudia was just amazing! The planning went smoothly and the cakes and flowers and decor turned out absolutely beautiful and exactly how I had envisioned my wedding day. Thanks Claudia :)

I met with 3 different wedding planners and chose Claudia (and her assitant who I never saw again) because I felt like we clicked right away. Things went downhill from there. I felt it really hard to get in touch with Claudia, or get her to respond to me. I even had to have a conversation with her in December about it, to which she told me she was really busy and was in the process of hiring other people to help. I'm still not sure who else works there, if anyone. Claudia was very helpful in setting up vendor meetings so I did not have to waste my time researching vendors. She was helpful on the day of our wedding, but everything leading up to the big day was stressful because she would take so long to get back to me on things. Also, at my wedding reception, she sat down and ate my cake in front of our guests, which I thought was extrememly unprofessional. I would not recommend A Day to Remember.

A Day To Remember, made Our Day truly a Day to Remember. From helping pick out colors, meeting me at tastings, picking photographers. Truly a Blessing! Thank you!

Claudia is awesome. She really listens to your vision of what you want and helps you remain within your budget. She is very professional and fights for her clients always, even when vendor shopping. If you need additional items services/vendors, Claudia can either provide it herself for you or give you great referrals. I honestly really did not stress or worry on my wedding day like I thought I might and that was because Claudia hustled all day and night to make my dream wedding happen. From planing to the actual day. Claudia is right there with you.Forever grateful! Liza Hernandez-Henson

Fresh flowers and silk arrangements were outstanding. The place looked beautiful.

Claudia handled my flowers for my wedding and did the day of coordinating. My flowers were amazing and more than I could have dreamed of. My maid of honor bouquets were beautiful and exactly what I asked for. She works hard to make sure that your day goes exactly as planned. There was a typhoon the day of my wedding and I still had a beautiful, magical outdoor reception.

I love working with A Day To Remember and often recommend them to my brides! Not only are they wonderful to work with from a fellow vendor perspective, I have also used them to plan my own special events. From cakes and cupcakes to flowers and planning, I always count on A Day To Remember!

We loved working with Claudia and her staff. They did such a beautiful job on the flowers! The cakes were so delicious, and everyone still keeps raving about them. Claudia was also my planner and she and her assistant definitely made my wedding planning so much easier. Claudia has such an eye for detail and is truly passionate about her job. I would highly recommend her. I can honestly say I don't just consider her my wedding planner, but my friend. Thank you guys for making our day so perfect!

Any time a business specializes in more than one service, quality is affected which was the case in my experience with A Day to Remember. I originally booked them to handle the flowers and cake for my wedding. Prior to receiving my deposit, Claudia was very responsive and delivered quality customer service. However, after she received my deposit I didn?t receive any customer service from her. I would call and ask for updated balance sheets - never received them. I wanted to make changes to my order (changes that would have increased the overall cost of my order) but I still never heard from her. I tried contacting her for these things for two months. When I did finally hear from her she explained that she had been very busy, and that I would hear receive the information I was requesting by the end of the week. Yet the week came and went and still nothing. I gave her many opportunities to provide me with some type of customer service, but when she did not turn in the vendor agreement for the facility that I was having my wedding at that was the last straw. I decided to dissolve our vendor relationship because if I couldn't communicate with her and couldn?t trust her to turn in the agreement, how could I be sure she would show up and/or do what I was requesting on my wedding day (especially since without the vendor agreement she would not be able to work at the facility on my wedding day). I also requested my deposit back; since she was the reason I no longer wanted to work with her. Claudia informed me that even though she acknowledged her role or lack there of she was still entitled to keep my deposit. It amazes me that in this day and age a vendor would believe that it ok to treat a customer any kind of way and still expect to be paid. So please beware and know that this is the type of vendor you are working with. After more research I found that her Better Business Bureau rating is an F. On top of that this whole experience made planning my wedding more stressful than it should have been. The vendors I replaced her with were very responsive before and after the deposit. So please be careful, every bride needs less stress during this time so choose your vendors wisely.

I loved working with Claudia!! She was fun, easy to talk to, and extremely creative. I had an idea of what kind of a cake I wanted, and she was able to create it and even helped me customize it further! I love the way it turned out, and so many people ooh-ed and ahhh-ed over it at the reception. Not to mention the fact that it was actually delicious! Who ever heard of a delicious wedding cake? (I usually don't like them) However, hers was fantastic & I would go with her all over again if I had the choice.

Claudia (A Day to Remember) is simply amazing! We initially had hired her to do the cake, flowers, and d�cor. Three months before the wedding, we found out that our wedding venue had double booked us. We then instantly hired Claudia to coordinate the wedding. She did an amazing job getting us a new place and everything else from there on. We really appreciated the fact that she stuck to our budget and actually got us a great deal on the new venue site (of which originally was out of our price range). We could not have been any more happier with how the wedding turned out.

Claudia was FANTASTIC! Words just can't express how wonderful she was to work with. I loooved my wedding cake and flowers. When you do a cake tasting with her, you get to take home your own 6 inch cakes, that was a major plus! And I got the best price in town! The cake looked better than pic I took in to her and the flowers were exactly what I wanted. As a planner, Claudia was just ideal! I can go on forever on how wonderful this company is but I think you get my point--- I was extremely satisfied with the services provided and can't thank her enough for making my bid day go smoothly!

All one can say when they think or hear of "A Day To Remember" is WOW! Claudia is the most professional and personal Wedding Coordinator I've ever known. She works hard, diligent, determined and above all detail oriented. My husband and I could not have asked for a better person to truly make our special day the most beautiful day of our lives. We truly hope that we can call on her in 5 to 10 years when we re-new our wedding vows! I recommend her to anyone! She's top notch and so is her services!!! Oh, best cake in the world!!!

Claudia was the best ever! I really enjoyed working with her. I met with various florists and decided to go with her because she really understood what I wanted without showing her almost any pictures and she gave me the best price. I had a very small budget for flowers but she was able to work with me to get a lot. She made the most beautiful altar arrangements and centerpieces. They were very simple, just like I wanted them, but they were noticeable, everybody loved the centerpieces. Three days before the wedding my mom decided she wanted more flowers and Claudia was able to make it happen. Also, the person doing my cake couldnt get the kind of flowers I wanted and Claudia took care of that too. If it wasnt because the cake was included in my reception package I woud have gone with her for the cake as well. She really can do everything for you. I would definitely recommend her.

Claudia from A Day to Remember made my then fianc� a Rubik Cube cake for his birthday. It was an awesome cake; I wish I could say the same for my WEDDING cake! The cake was made very sloppy and it looked like it had been knocked around in its box. The fondant ribbon around the three tiers of the cake were all DIFFERENT shades of red and weren't on straight. As if that was not enough the groom's cake was not the flavor that we asked and paid for! After the wedding I called and told her about it, she asked to see pictures of the cake; she said if they were not up to par she'd refund me some money. I sent her the pictures she has never replied nor did she ever return my calls. I had two bridal showers; both of those cakes were by far superior to my actual wedding cake. Both of my bridal shower cakes were made by friends that make cakes as a hobby not a LIVING! A Day to Remember does make nice cakes depending on the day- but do you want to take that chance on your wedding cake?

Claudia with A Day to Remember is absolutely AMAZING!!! :) Her cakes are beautiful and her service is even better. She truly cares about the bride and the whole wedding experience. I could not have asked for a better vendor to do both my groom's cake and wedding cake. The cake was delicious, so moist and delectable. It arrived on time, and Claudia and her sister even came to visit me and wish me well before I walked down the aisle. Not only did I get a great cake, but I made a lifelong friend in the process! I would recommend Claudia and her staff to anyone who is thinking about getting married.

Claudia came to me as a referral from a friend who used her for her wedding. She was most certainly a godsent who helped my husband and me in planning, not just the wedding, but the rehearsal dinner and after wedding event we had planned for our guests the next day. Claudia and her team did a phenomenal job and we didn't have to worry about a single thing. She truly made my vision into a reality and more.

A Day to Remember was absolutely a delight to work with. They created a masterpiece groom's cake in the shape of UFC fight ring. It was absolutely fabulous and tasted even better.

When we first met with Claudia we had an instant connection with her. We hired her for our cake and flower services. As time passed in the planning stages, we ran into a major hiccup with our first 'reception' venue. We were sure happy that Claudia was available to provide her coordinating services to us at the dire time and even worked with us budget wise. We don't know what we would have done without her advice or referrals for our 'legal' woes. For anyone out there who is looking for a vendor that provides many services under one roof, we would highy recommend Day to Remember. Our wedding day went off with only one minor, minor problem and Claudia rectified it to the best of her ability, other than that it was out of her control. Our flowers were absolutely gorgeous and she made our vision for decor a reality! The cakes were delicious and gorgeous!!! Our day was memorable to us just like she said it would be.

I loved working with them. They planned and coordinated my wedding and I couldn't have done it without them. We were having problems with our venue and they came in resolved the issues, including saving us at least $2K! They also provided us with the flowers which were beautiful, along with the delicious cakes!

I highly recommend them!

Claudia showed she was in charged before and during the wedding. She was able to keep problems under control and found the best ways to solve problems.

Claudia helped me with my decor, flowers, cake and wedding day coordination! She was amazing! Her positivie and upbeat attitude helped everything go smoothly. It was obvious she cared about her customers and wanted everything to be perfect for their wedding day. I received a ton of compliments on the gorgeous flowers and delicious cake! I would highly recommend Claudia and A Day to Remember to anyone who is planning a special event.

This was by far our favorite vendor. They offered more bang for their buck, mainly because they offer so much. We originally hired them for wedding planning services and they even encouraged we see other vendors for floral and cake services. In the end, we used them as well, because of their level of quality, service and price.They did a fabulous job and in the end developed a friendship. I highly recommend them.

The cake was absolutely gorgeous and so delicious. Highly recommended.

For the price for the flowers and cakes, you can't beat it.

Claudia de Velasco is great! I'm looking forward to working with her for the first time in November! She's full of great ideas & always has such a positive upbeat attitude!
