How to set default reminder time in calendar?

I used to have a default reminder of 30 minutes set in my calendar for new events that I create. Suddenly (in the last couple of days), new events that I create do not have a default reminder set; I have to manually create the reminder when I create the event.

This is driving me nuts and I can't find a setting to investigate anywhere. Anyone else having this issue? Got any ideas?

TIA!
 
I use Google Calendar and it has the setting. I avoided Samsung's from day one because of that and it looks so busy, lol.

Well, the stock calendar app on the phone used to have that setting, or it allowed me to customize it somewhere because I used to have 30 minute reminders set by default - I just don't remember where the setting is, or can't find it, or it somehow disappeared in the last 2-3 days...And I don't know why it just stopped recently either.

Either way, I'll download Google Calendar and give it a shot.

Thanks!
