​I had a venue booked for my parent's 50th wedding anniversary... then came COVID.
The venue cut to 50% capacity, which made it too small.  I had to cancel and re-think everything.
The venue needed to be large enough to accommodate distancing, catering and food service was sketchy since many places closed, local restrictions were fluid and I didn't live in the city where the event would be held.
At one point, I thought we wouldn't be able to celebrate more than having a small dinner.  It was discouraging.
Then I found Milestone Memories and Events.
I had a good feeling about Geri after our first phone call.  The second call confirmed my initial impression.  I needed someone with experience and good judgment that I could trust for advice.  After all, large events take hundreds of decisions and bad choices can create bad experiences for all the guests.
To give context, the guest list was 250 people.  Given the circumstances, I estimated 100-150 would attend.  The final RSVP count came in at 140. This was not a small event and we pulled it off in four months!
Here are just a few highlights of my great experience with Milestone Memories:
   -        We developed a budget, and came in under
   -        They got to know us and designed decor and settings to match (my mom loved everything!)
   -        Everything LOOKED AMAZING, tables, center pieces, lighting, photo backdrop, entry tables
   -        All the logistics like how people enter, move, exit, accounting for seating, everything was great
   -        They found the venue, catering, music and negotiated many details so I only made major decisions.  I can't tell you how important that is because it can be overwhelming dealing with multiple contracts when the event is personal.
  -        They took care of my parents and were so thoughtful of all their needs on the day of the event
   -        Excellent communication throughout

Geri and her staff are genuine, caring people and I'm so thankful we met. Don't misunderstand, she's a skilled project manager and straight forward communicator that will take care of business!
What I mean is she thought of details that I could never have thought of.
For example, she created a space for my parents to rest before the event and stocked it with a beautiful snack tray.  She arranged a "Grand Entrance" which turned out amazing.  My parents had a "first dance", and I mean they had never danced in public before, even at their wedding. This was Geri's idea and it made such an impact!
This is the longest review I've written and it is still too short.  What a great 4 month journey this was with Geri to create such a memorable celebration for my parents!
People are still talking about it a week later. I still get emails and texts complimenting how great it was, and we have the best pictures to help us remember.  Here's are a few things people are saying: "elegant", "fun", "relaxed", "beautiful", "amazing!"...
My mom and dad loved everything!
​
After working with Geri and her team for 4 months, I 100% recommend them to anyone needing a spectacular event!

Absolutely AMAZING! They understood our vision and followed it through to the detail. True professionals with a gift for this craft. My reception was absolutely stunning and took my breath away. There was nothing I would’ve done differently. I will definitely use them again for all my events. You will not be disappointed.                      -D. Krukoski
The planner was excellent at doing her job. She took care of everything-- taking away our worries and responsibility during the event. She had good employees working diligently with her. She is an awesome person and did an excellent job.

​I was so happy I booked this vendor, everything was top notch and it made the party so much better. I would hire them again. I could not have done it without them. Thank you so very much. We had a awesome 70th Birthday event.

Geri is the model of professionalism. From the moment we had our initial meet and greet, up until the BIG day, she was on top of everything. Geri took care of every single detail and stayed on top of us regarding the very minute specifications of the wedding. We definitely couldn't have done it without her. She really came through and made one of the most important days of our lives special and magical. Thanks Geri.
-D. and H. Osei 
​Geri with Milestone Memories & Events is an EXCEPTIONAL Event Planner! She assisted us with putting on our Annual Volunteer of the Year Banquet and it was a HUGE success! Geri is very particular about her work and the customer in the end is the one who benefits. Although she may not ever admit this, she strives for perfection and doesn't accept anything less. Her extraordinary ideas and work alone shows that she takes pride in her business and reputation. She willingly goes above and beyond of what is requested of her. If there was an option for a 5+ I would have rated her with this.

Geri from Milestone Memories and Events did an amazing job helping us organize our company's 10 year Anniversary celebration.

We recently celebrated our daughter's quinceanera (Sweet 15) an event for 120 people and used this vendor's services. We were more than pleased with their services, they exceeded our expectations!! They definitely made the planning so much easier and much less stressful for us. We recommend them and will use their services again every time necessary. Their professionalism is amazing. Our guests were also amazed when they saw the amazing job they had done at the reception venue.  -L. Waggoner

I was the excited Mother of Bride who thought she could take care of her daughter’s wedding. Well as we attended the bridal show in Waco in January 2015 it dawned on me that maybe I could take care of all the details, but why should I? I realized if I was trying to run the “show” on the day of my daughter’s wedding, then I was going to miss the wedding and there was not going to be any do overs. Then we met Geri Schwartzman from Milestone Memories & Events and what a blessing it was. She took care of every little detail with the utmost professionalism and was in contact with the vendors to be sure everything was on schedule for the big day. Once the big day arrived, she handled everything so that I was able to enjoy and soak up all the fun and excitement. If I even thought about taking care of the smallest of task, Geri was right there to tell me she would handle it and to go enjoy. I can say that the day went off without any problems whatsoever and I as the mother of the bride was able to enjoy every minute of it without any stress. I cannot thank Geri and Caryn enough for everything they did, they were literally the first ones there and the last ones to leave. If you want to totally enjoy your event without any stress, contact Geri and you will be extremely glad that you did!  -C. Thornton

Milestone Memories planned the reception for our son's Eagle Scout Court of Honor. I have attended many of those before but this one was exceptional. The room was beautifully decorated, all the tables were covered in linen table cloths and scouting themed table runners, and sashes for the chairs. The food was also beautifully displayed. Every detail was taken care of, we didn't have to worry about anything and it was done in a very classy fashion. I can't praise Milestone Memories and their staff enough.  -G. Roope

Geri was a very professional, detailed, well-organized, caring and respectful person. She treated my wife as if she was her own daughter. We had a vision on how we wanted our wedding to be and she made it happen. She was there for us every step of the way from planning the wedding, to rehearsal, to decorating, to serving the cake and so much more. She truly is a wonderful person to be around. I would recommend Geri to all couples looking for an event/wedding planner.
She is the BOMB !!!! I was truly a happy Bride... thank you so much Geri ;)  -Andrea and Luis Santos

​I am very satisfied with Milestone Memories & Events. Geri coordinated a fashion show for my store Genesis boutique in Killeen Texas. Everything was exceptional. My objective was to promote my company with our Spring prom fashion show and it was successful. -M.L. Rodriguez

The value that Geri and her team provided for the fee was nothing less than exceptional. I think it would be crazy to try to coordinate an event without the help and detail that Geri and her team provide. I firmly believe that doing an event without her would cost MORE by the time I figured in the cost of my own personal time. Geri also has extremely good taste and style!  -L. McGee
Milestone Memories and Events helped us make our son's Eagle Scout Court of Honor a huge success. The decorations we received really complimented the ceremony and several people commented on them; I will be telling all future Eagle Scout families about Milestone Memories and Events so they too can benefit from the beautiful Boy Scout oriented decorations. -T. Spears
My mom suggested we hire a day of wedding coordinator. We had planned everything ourselves and I thought we could handle everything without one but we hired Geri anyways. I am so glad we did! She was so organized and detail oriented. There were so many things she took care of that we hadn't even thought of! On top of everything she was already doing, she always took the time to make sure I was doing OK. I can't imagine how stressful and chaotic our wedding day would have been without Geri and her staff!  -L. Givens

I'm the type of person who thinks I'm Wonder Woman--I can do everything myself! So when I finally accepted the fact I couldn't handle all of my daughter's wedding by myself, I called Geri. After she got over her shock that I was calling her on Wednesday night and the wedding was Saturday, she jumped in with both feet and never looked back!! Because of her professionalism, I was able to thoroughly enjoy the wedding without worrying about the little details. I've never worked with a professional event planner, so I didn't really know what to expect. Geri led me through the process and took all the responsibilities off my shoulders. Right down to stripping down the tables and cleaning up, they were there every step of the way. I can't tell you how happy I am that I broke down and called for help! Thank you Geri and team. -R. Hershey
Geri, was very professional, easy to talk with and available when needed. I live in California and my daughter in Texas. We could not of done this wedding without Geri. I would and I know my daughter will refer her to anyone in the future.  -A. Uhler

I cannot say enough positive things about Geri! Our wedding was absolutely beautiful, thanks to her! Geri took every idea I had, listened to my vision, and created something amazing! She was always on top of every detail and dealt with every vendor. I didn't have to worry about anything. If I forgot, she thought about it. She went above and beyond to work with my budget and always find the best deal without skimping on anything. If you are looking for a professional and experienced event planner, Geri is the one you want!  -M. Hickerson
This lady and her crew put on a very professional, very lovely wedding and reception! Everything was beautiful. Her special touches, such as a red carpet runway for the "dinner theatre style" wedding was so thoughtful!  -B. Lanig

Hiring Geri was one of the best decisions I ever made. She was friendly and very knowledgeable. I had a vision of what I wanted my wedding day to be like and Geri made it happen within my budget. The day of my wedding was stress free thanks to her! What I loved most about the day was that she had surprises at different times during my reception. I feel like she was my wedding fairy godmother, taking my dreams of what I wanted my wedding day to be like and making it a beautiful reality.
 -M. Monroe

Ms. Geri is a true professional and sweetheart. I will recommend her to anyone! Ms. Geri is a beautiful woman inside and out. I was initially drawn to her because of her honesty and genuine love for people. I couldn’t imagine her being able to create beautiful and memorable events if she didn’t care for the well-being of others. She is a woman of many talents and when she shares your vision she brings it alive! Ms. Geri orchestrated the most beautiful wedding a bride and groom could ever ask for. She was patient; professional and most of all she listened. I would recommend her to anyone. She not only became my wedding planner over this year but a dear friend. Big thanks to Ms. Geri and her crew. Hugs and many Blessings Danielle and Keith

I used Milestone Memories and Events to plan my son's Eagle Scout Court of Honor. Geri and her staff did an exceptional job. From the first moment she could envision an event that would surpass all our expectations. I truly was able to enjoy the event because of her precise planning and preparations. The event was a huge success because of Geri. I owe her and her staff my undying gratitude for such a remarkable evening. She listened patiently to all my ideas and asked relevant questions to ensure that she was providing exactly what I wanted. An absolute pleasure to work with.
- C. Messing
Just wanted to let anyone who is following these threads know that our Court of Honor came and was wonderful. I showed up the morning of the event fully prepared to help unload vehicles and set up. Geri and her "crew" informed me I was not needed for that and I should relax, go home and prepare to come back and enjoy the whole thing. I left knowing that everything was being handled and that Geri and her "crew" would treat this exactly like they were doing this for themselves. I was not disappointed. She had thought out details and prepared a schedule and kept the whole event flowing perfectly. She and her staff worked constantly and tirelessly so that I had no worries and I enjoyed the whole event. When my son walked in and said this is wonderful and perfect I knew I had to tell everyone about this wonderful service she provides. She made this as stress free as possible for me. This was wonderful.

In September of 2011 I started planning my wedding and didn’t have a clue on where to begin. I contacted Geri Schwartzman owner of Milestone Memories and Events to help me plan my very special day. Working with Geri has been a true blessing and has been one of the best decisions I have ever made. My wedding was on July 28th and everything was perfect. The planning and coordination was great. The Venue was beautifully decorated and the overall vision that I had for my wedding was captured and displayed by Geri and her staff. I would highly recommend Milestone Memories and Events to anyone that is planning a special event. I loved the professional service provided by Geri and I would love to work with her again to plan another event.  -K. Contreras
My children and I are very grateful for your wonderful assistance in organizing a well-planned ceremony for my daughter’s promotion to Captain of the US Air Force.  Being a military event that demanded to follow all the rules of protocol and organization, you managed everything not only with great care, enthusiasm, and professionalism, but also with your full heart. -A.
