"Customize Calendar notifications
- Go to Settings

- Choose how and where you want the notifications to appear—for example, on the Lock Screen, in Notification Center, as banners at the top of the screen, with an alert sound, and so on."
There's additional information in the same article to change custom notifications. You can also check details for your events with the help of the guide here: Create and edit events in Calendar on iPhone
