Reviews for Unforgettable Events by Dan Hathcock AIFD
GUEST




My husband and I used Unforgettable Events for our wedding and Dan is fantastic! My husband and I had a general idea of what we were looking for in regards to decorations for our ceremony and reception but Dan really made our ideas come to life. He gave us numerous options and suggestions during our consultation and when the wedding day came, he made sure every detail was perfect and tied into our whole overall theme. There wasn't one thing that we would have changed. Both the ceremony and the reception were absolutely perfect. All of our guests (and everyone who has seen our wedding pictures) has said the decorations look like something out of a story book.
In addition to the quality of the work done, Dan gave us very reasonable prices. We had a specific budget and he was willing to give us everything we wanted (plus more) within that price range. Not many decorators would consider changing their prices or would be willing to do as much as Dan did within our budget. Unforgettable Events delivered exactly what we envisioned within our price point and everything turned out amazing.
Overall, I would recommend Dan and Unforgettable Events to anyone and everyone. They really made our wedding day perfect.

Dan is amazing. It was like he crawled in my brain and executed exactly what I was dreaming of. His flower arrangements are to die for. Literally the best money ever spent. The morning of my wedding, my hair was done and he impromptu made an orchid hair piece for me. It was the perfect finishing touch to a beautiful day.

Dan and the Unforgettable Events team are absolutely amazing! I knew from the beginning that I could trust his direction and valued his imput throughout the process. I had an idea of how beautiful our event was going to be, but the first time I saw the reception room I was in utter shock! He absolutely exceeded my very high expectations...every detail was magazine worthy! Things I never even thought of (like the cake table) were elaborately and meticulously designed. I never would have imagined having a wedding like I did and that is thanks to Dan and his vision. He and his team were wonderful to work with and I feel so blessed to have had the fortune of having them design my wedding.

Dan and his team were wonderful! He did a beautiful job with all of my decor and flowers and I could not have been happier. Our ceremony ballroom initially was not the most beautiful room and Dan and his team completely transformed it into a beautiful set up. From the flowers to the linens Dan did a fabulous job and I would certainly recommend him! He became a part of the family. Thanks Dan! : )

Hello Aliya, I cannot thank you enough for the trust you placed in me and Unforgettable Events. Since you are in the event world it makes your attitude so much more meaningful. The latitude you gave me is largely what allowed us to create something much more that your expectations were. Having the creative license to enhance your vision allowed us to work in the little extras. You , Your Mom and yes Your Dad have worked your way into my heart and I am so grateful for the friendship we have developed in this process. Your family has an amazing heart. I wish you and Jordan a lifetime of happiness together

Dan and his staff made our wedding beautiful. He has a very creative vision but also listened to my thoughts and ideas. Most impressive though was that they were able to create a beautiful ceremony in a very short period of time when Plan A was abondonded last minute and brought inside due to rain. You can tell Dan really has a passion for what he does and enjoys creating beautiful decor for any event of any size.

Hello Katherine...It really was an honor to work with you and your Mom. What an amazing team. The last minute changes I too believed worked very well I was so happy you were pleased with the final results. It always concerns me when a young lady has her heart set on outside and the elements force our hand in another direction. Thank God, the River house is as accommodating as they are. They really were instrumental in helping your wedding be all it was. I wish you every happiness in your journey into your new life . Please keep in touch..Dan
GUEST




Dan was amazing. He came to Orlando from Gainsville several times to meet with me, continued to do practice floral runs until he was sure I was 100% happy, and probably reassured me on the phone a dozen times! When I saw our ballroom the day of our wedding I was speechless. It was amazing. He did the lighting, draped our ballroom, and did all of our linens and flowers. All my guests commented that it was the most beautiful room they have ever seen. However Dan did not just help with decor, he helped me with everything. I had a wedding planner, however she was very disappointing, but Dan stepped up and took care of everything. He went way beyond his responsibilites to make me happy!
GUEST




Dan and his team were absolutely EXCELLENT to work with!! My wedding decor turned out even more beautiful and perfect than I could have imagined. Dan took my pictures and ideas and completely brought them to life! He knew what I was imagining before I could even figure it out. I cannot express how creative Dan and his team are. From my bouquet to table arrangements to my ceremony arbor and flowers..It was UNBELIEVABLE!! They do beautiful work!! Do not look any further for a florist/ designer..Dan is the BEST!!!

Unforgettable!! Thank you Dan and staff for the most beautiful, fairytale type wedding I could ever dream. Guests are still talking about it. If anyone is looking for professionals, just call Unforgettable Events and ask for Dan. He's wonderful!
GUEST




My wedding was the most beautiful event I've ever seen and it was all due to the direction of Dan and Unforgettable Events! The decorations and flowers were above and beyond my wildest dreams!
Vendor response to review
Hello Jessica, You were absolutely beautiful and amazing. It is difficult to make that call that transitions a wedding from being surrounded by God's beauty and into a ballroom. Thank God we decided early on to move the second gated arbor into the ballroom as your backup. You were the most KOOL and beautiful bride as you stood in the wings calm and collected knowing everything was still going to be perfect and that you were on you way to exchange your vows. Working with you and your Parents was an absolute joy. It is no question where you developed your wonderful heart, and attitude you have a wonderful beginning in your parents love and an amazing future in the love you and Patrick share wishing happiness, love, and prosperity in you lives together..DAN
GUEST




Dan is amazing!! We were blessed to have him do not one but both of our daughter's weddings! His staff is very professional and extremely creative!

In describing Unforgettable Events in one word, I'd say the company is AWESOME!!!!!
Where do I begin? I got married in Ponte Vedra, Florida, right outside of Jacksonville so I worked with Connie out of the Jacksonville office. Connie is a wonderful person with a fantastic personality. She genuinely cares about what she does as well as her clients. I started visiting Connie for my consultations during the Summer of 2011. She listened very carefully as I explained my vision for my wedding. She was very helpful and provided great suggestions/alternatives.
Connie was always available when I needed her (even if I had to email her in the middle of the night, she would generally respond promptly). We had several tastings with various caterers and through it all Connie was determined to find the right caterer for us! And she did (see my review of Carefree Catering).
On the day of my wedding, I walked into our venue (Crosswater Hall at Nocatee) and was completely blown away! What Connie and the team had created was simply awesome! Everything from the amazing white bar that glowed in the back to the beautiful 4 ft table centerpieces!!! They completely transformed the space into a beautiful, lavish wedding reception!! They paid attention to ALL of the small details that I'm sure many others would have overlooked.
I cannot say enough postitive things regarding Dan Hancock's team (Connie out of Jacksonville was my contact person). This is a very professional company that I would recommend to anyone.
If you are a soon to be bride and are searching websites as I did a few months back, looking for the right event company, I tell you hands down,this is definitely a great company to work with. You will not be stressed out at all!!!

Hello Orrie and Willie, Being part of planning your wedding was a great joy. Connie and I had an incredible experience with the two of you. It is always a joy for us to see a couple so genuinely in love as you are and I truly believe you will both be blessed with years of happiness and love together. You deserved the fairytale ...so glad we were able to be with you on that journey Dan and Connie

Dan of Unforgettable Events did an amazing job with the flowers and decor at my wedding ceremony and reception! He created beautiful bouquets for me and my bridesmaids, and for the ceremony he provided floral arrangements as well as an arbor with flowers and greenery. Guests were "wow"ed in the ballroom by the elegant ceiling draping, the stunning centerpieces, and the overall atmosphere he created through lighting touches, candles, and floral decor.
Dan is truly an artist who can help you create your vision. When I first gave him my ideas for decor, he and his assistant went over the top suggesting ideas for how to create the vision. However, being on a far more limited budget than he first proposed, we weren't sure we could afford his services. However, he came down to meet us in the middle, keeping the key elements of the decor while cutting the proposal in half! His decor transformed our wedding space into something truly unique, and it was so nice to deal with just one vendor for the flowers, lighting, and decor.
Whether you want over the top decor or something in between, Dan will be able to create it. I loved what he did for my wedding. The one suggestion I would have is to be clear about your wants and vision - because he is an artistic type, his vision may not match exactly with yours unless you communicate it to him. He was flexible and receptive to our suggestions for change.
Thank you, Dan, for creating the most beautiful wedding of our dreams!

Words can't truly describe how fantastic Dan and his team are! They made all of my dreams come true for my October wedding. They were so great and really helpful with maintaining the limited budget that we had to work with, they made every penny count and made it feel like an extravagant event. its been two years since my wedding day and friends and family are still talking about how beautiful and luxurious it was. Thanks again to Dan and his team for making my special day a truly Unforgettable Event :)

Unforgettable Events by Dan Hathcock is a phenomenal company. I shared my visions with Dan and he ran with them. He provided us with a wedding beyond our largest dreams. Everything was so elegant; there was no detail that was missed. Dan obviously strived for perfection because that is exactly what we saw and felt. Our guest are still raving about our wedding, saying how lovely and elegant everything was. We worked with Dan and Barbara and these are two of the nicest and most caring people. They were always available to talk and email. They went above and beyond to make sure this was one of the greatest days of our lives. We know that we made the perfect choice in selecting Dan. Thank you so much Dan for making our wedding day truly unforgettable. Dana and Carlton

In the early stages of our planning, we had lots of inspiration photos from the internet and magazines but had no clue of how to bring our vision to reality (and within our budget). We were planning our South Beach wedding from out of state and were so fortunate to discover Unforgettable Events. We made one trip down to Florida several months before our wedding, where we were finally able to meet with Dan and Barbara in person. We clicked right away! They put such care and love not only into the brilliant design work, but also into each and every interaction. It felt like we had been friends already for a long time.
To make a long story short - the flowers, huppah, linens, lighting, etc. etc. for our wedding ceremony and reception were simply BREATHTAKING. Barbara and Dan brought our vision to reality and then some. They were an absolute dream come true to work with, made the entire day seamless and stress-free for my wife and I, and we would recommend them 100%.
Thank you Dan, Barbara, and your entire team for giving us the wedding day of our dreams!

The flowers were beautiful but a few items requested were left out. My flower girl did not have flowers and my flowers were very small compared to the price paid for the bouquet. The wedding venue and church flowers were stunning. The dinner table flowers were wonderful just not able to be given away without having to get "to go" containers from the venue.

Dan transformed an ordinary room into a fairy tale wedding reception for my daughter. He is talented, easy to work with, honest and creative. He gives 150% of his time and creativeness to the event. He is worth every penny. I cannot recommend him enough!
