Allie provides absolutely everything you want and need in a wedding coordinator!!! From the beginning she showed enthusiasm and warmth and is tremendously motivated and committed to helping your wedding meet your every expectation. I had a very limited budget to work with and Allie was able to help me find creative and elegant ideas for my wedding while not going crazy on the finances. I was also very impressed with how Allie was able to know me so well that she came up with ideas that matched my personality perfectly!! Our wedding was held in California but even with the distance Allie was so great with suggesting vendors, favors, and helping us every step of the way! Her quick responses to my questions and ability to reduce my stress level by being so knowledgeable and competent in her profession. Allie you are absolutely amazing, Thank you so Much!!!!!

Having used Allie as a wedding planner in all three of my childrens' weddings I can honestly say I would enlist her services again if I had any other weddings to plan for. Initially planning their weddings was fun; but then the details and the stress kick in and I would start to feel overwhelmed. That is where I feel Allie excelled in making my life less stressful not only in the planning stage but particularly during the day of seeing that everything ran smoothly. Each of our weddings had glitches the could have been a big issue but Allie took control and handle the situation. ( I wasn't even aware that a problem had occurred until the following day)
At one of our weddings we ended up having approximately 25 more people attend than had RSVP. The facility added space and tables on the patio but these guest were somewhat apart from the the rest of the group and truly not an ideal situation. Allie began directing and working with the manager of the facility to move tables and rearrange the room to accommodate all the additional guest inside so they could become part of the celebration.

Allie was my day of wedding planner. I know exactly what I wanted for the wedding but need a planner for the weekend so I can enjoy my own wedding. She had such good prices and it was worth every penny! She took care of rehearsal, transportation, parking situation and paying for the vendors, purchased ceremony necessary items, all those countless details that I haven't thought of. On my wedding day, she also brought an assistance. Both of them were dressed professionally, and were very busy taking care of everything. I knew that she has less experience than most wedding planners out there. But she has 5 times the enthusiastic and 10 times the dedications than the other wedding planners who has weddings like every weekend. You can never expect them to focus on your wedding. Allie is an entrepreneur and the owner of this business and you can tell she really wanted success. I was very stressed a few weeks from the wedding because some vendors I hired myself are not responsive. And Allie was like the only one that I can count on, who will answer my phone anytime when I needed her. The transportation company I hired only showed up with 1 out 2 vehicles and Allie was able to find last minute substitution with a reasonable price. I was really grateful I found her, not to mention that her price is soooooooo much better than others. We also end up hiring her sister who is a florist for my rehearsal dinner decoration. I have to say, every service I got from her are very solid and excellent. A little hiccup that I forgot the bring the table number signs and Allie didn't notice either. But she was able to handle the situation immediately and assigned table numbers in a minute. Out of all the wedding vendors/business I hired. I'm most happy with Allie. Can't imagine without her at the wedding.
