Desiree Blackshear is an excellent event planner! I recommend her event planning service, Moments of Purpose. Desiree did an exceptional job planning my husband’s retirement celebration. Our theme was the “World Awaits” based upon my husband’s desire to travel to Greece, Finland, France, Thailand, and Puerto Rico. Desiree brought our vision into fruition and created such a fantastic experience for my husband, myself, and our guests. Our evening began with a social hour that included cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, and a photo booth. Our guests thoroughly enjoyed the photo booth experience.
Next, Desiree issued boarding passes to everyone with a designated destination to Greece, Finland, France, Thailand, or Puerto Rico. The boarding pass identified our seating assignment within the dining ballroom. As we entered the ballroom, we noticed the ballroom and dining tables were decorated based on known tourist attractions found in Greece, Finland, France, Thailand, and Puerto Rico. Desiree went beyond what we expected by creating a video for our guests to enjoy at the start of the dinner service. The video highlighted the amazing places we plan to visit during our travel to these countries. Desiree is a very talented and extremely resourceful event planner. My husband and I are so grateful for the “experience” Desiree created during our retirement celebration.

They Literally were the perfect planners for us. We contacted them WEEKS before the wedding and they were on point from the first conversation. We told them what we wanted and within a couple days M.O.P. had all the info to take over. Communication was perfect, there was never a moment we called/text and did not get a quick response or they just picked up. The team at M.O.P. will forever be apart of my wedding memories because they removed all the worries with their professionalism and execution. To the team at M.O.P. Thank you so much for being the STRESS REMOVERS for our wedding.

From the first initial meeting . all the way until the day of, Moments of Purpose truly were exceptional. Someone from Desiree's team (or more than one at times) were at every meeting with my different Vendors and venue visits. They were always punctual and full of fantastic ideas and great at problem solving. They took away the stress and worry that comes with such an important day. They handled even rough situations with class and grace. Most importantly they honored myself and my future husbands wishes. I highly reccomend Desiree, Myra and the entire team of Moments of Purpose. Thank you ladies for helping make my moment so meaningful.
