We couldn't have done it without A'Qshay Weddings & Events.

Honestly, I can't recommend Shwanna enough. She was such a joy to work with, she was on top of everything, and she was incredibly responsive to any request I sent her way. I pride myself on being on top of my game, and I am so glad I hired shwanna to handle the day-of burdens for the wedding since I could not be in two places at once. As an example of shwanna prowess: she organized ALL the decor for the reception, she had the entire wedding party ready to go at all times, she also handled some last-minute issues with one of the vendors. Shwanna is pretty awesome and her rates are really reasonable considering the wedding price madness.

A Very Satisfied Bride!!!

Thank you to Shwanna with A'Qshay Weddings & Events, you guys were amazing! I couldn't have done it without you. You were my confidante, critic, best friend, sounding board and sometimes mom, all rolled into one. They were my greatest advocates! These ladies were professional and accommodating. They were always there to lend a hand or offer suggestions. They probably saved me a couple of grand because of their recommendations. My guests were very happy and are still commenting on what a great wedding it was. I am a very satisfied Bride!!!

Phenomenal...

Shwanna and her entire team were phenomenal. Shwanna makes your wedding feel like her wedding with the attention and detail in which she focuses on. The day of my wedding I was absolutely not stressed. I was able to truly enjoy my wedding with Shwanna & her assistant making sure that everything went smoothly.

Thank you guys for all your hard work.

What to expect

We like to speak with our clients to get an idea on what they are looking for and then discuss ways for us to stay within their budget. We have worked with different vendors as it all depends on what style of wedding you are going for as no wedding is too small or too big for our company to handle. We help find ceremony and reception venues, accompany you to food and cake tastings and screen vendor contracts.

We have a team that I use for my weddings and events and they are dependable and very professional. We will be present for the rehearsal and your entire wedding day.
