Working with Melody and Kaitlin was absolutely amazing and I could not thank them more for helping us plan the wedding of our DREAMS! Their energy, excitement, attention to detail, creativity and communication was incredible. We are so happy with how everything turned out and how perfect it was, thanks to them! We will all cherish the memories we have of our day and with working with a.companie forever!
a.companie's expertise and calm demeanor were invaluable throughout the wedding planning process. Everything from the music to the guest experience to the design elements were so memorable for us and our guests. a.companie's hard work and dedication helped to make our wedding day perfect!
a.companie exceeded my expectations for wedding planners. They were as kind and understanding as they were talented and organized. They didn't leave one stone unturned and went above and beyond to make the whole planning process, especially the weeks, days and hours leading up to the wedding as enjoyable and worry free for me as possible! Their organization and attention to detail is unmatched.
Melody and Kaitlin were an absolute dream to work with. They reduced the stress surrounding our day by being reliable and caring to everyone involved. They were welcoming to all of my ideas, and they helped bring them to life. Additionally, they were professional and knowledgeable about the wedding market in St. Louis. I could not recommend them enough! If you have a wedding coming up, please consider booking them! They will not disappoint.
If you are looking for a wedding planner, look no further than a.companie. From our first meeting I knew how incredible they were. I had given them some lose ideas and venues, and since Melody had not worked in that space before she went before our meeting so she felt prepared. They exceeded any expectation of what I thought having a wedding planner meant. They truly captured and brought our personalities to life across a full wedding weekend of events. Being an out of town bride, they helped me navigate the STL wedding scene and assembled THE MOST incredible group of vendors to make our weekend perfect. The best compliment I received was that our wedding was so FUN, relaxed, personal, and so US. These were the words on our mood board when we first started planning with a.companie 1.5 years ago! We loved loved loved working with the team and cannot recommend them enough!
Absolutely loved working with a.companie. I was really looking for someone to be a contact during planning, but mostly for support the month and day of. All other wedding planners seemed to have big packages that were too expensive and too hands on. a.companie had a few different levels of options and I was able to find the exact amount of support I needed. Melody was responsible, calm and took control at all the right moments. By the end of the night, she was known as Magical Melody to my wedding party (especially my mom!).
We literally cannot say enough amazing things about working with a.companie! Melody and Paige did an absolutely amazing job across the board and made the wedding planning experience fun and made it so that we didn’t have to worry about a thing on our actual wedding day! We were originally supposed to get married May 2020 and at seven weeks out we had to postpone due to the pandemic. Melody and Paige quickly jumped into action and within 24 hours we had our new wedding date booked with all of our original vendors exactly one year later so we could have our dream May wedding! In addition to the a.Companie team’s clear crisis management skills, Melody and Paige were highly organized, knowledgeable, and creative and made sure every detail (even the ones we didn’t think of) were taken care of. Our wedding day could not have been more perfect and I can say without a doubt that that was all due to the hard work and dedication from the a.companie team! We also held our rehearsal dinner at a.Companie’s venue, a.Casa, which was absolutely amazing and we highly recommend!! Melody and Paige once again nailed it and executed a phenomenal rehearsal dinner where all of our guests had a wonderful time!
The women of a.companie, Melody and Paige, are absolute rockstars. Working with them was a dream and I wish I would've hired them in a larger capacity from the get-go. My now husband and I booked their venue, a.casa, when we had to downsize our wedding due to COVID. Melody and Paige were extremely responsive, attentive, creative, and professional throughout our planning process (not to mention fun!). I truly enjoyed working with them and hope to do so more in the future for other events! Now let me tell you about a.casa... it is an absolute dream! We were smitten from the moment we saw it, and the ambiance, staff, and entire setting completely blew us away the night of our wedding. If you're looking for a cozy, unique, beautiful setting for your intimate wedding, special dinner or really any event- this is your spot. Our guests absolutely loved it and every detail was even better than we expected. Melody and Paige went above and beyond to ensure that our entire experience was exceptional. Thank you, a.companie!!
The best time! Everyone there made this day for my daughter and her new husband special. Exceptional service. Shout out to Melody Lowry for being the best planner ever.Highly recommend
I can't say enough good things about a.companie and Melody Lowry! They went above and beyond to plan a perfect wedding for us that went off without a hitch (a tough feat during COVID!) My wedding planning experience was not filled with stress thanks to their hard work and ability to think of all details and go the extra mile. I have and will continue to recommend them to friends with upcoming weddings and other events. Thank you a.companie for being part of our special day and handling everything so well so that we could sit back and enjoy!
After canceling our original celebration in April 2020, then having to reschedule a larger party in September, all due to Covid, we were looking to finally tie the knot in a smaller venue with outdoor space and great safety protocols. We had narrowed it down to a few restaurants, a different event space and a. casa. We met up with Melody, an event coordinator for the space, after visiting the other finalists and being less than enthused. Given we are in the middle of a worldwide pandemic and obviously stressed, you would think people would be a little nicer or wear their masks correctly, or not make you feel stupid for canceling your wedding...because you care about the safety of others! I digress.
We were both immediately blown away by Melody's professionalism, friendliness, flexibility, and basically everything about her. She really worked with us and incorporated safety protocols we asked for along with the ones already established by a.companie. A. Casa is also pretty new, less than a year old, so we were really jazzed to support a small, local business and local friendly staff.
The space is intimate with lots of beautiful details and visuals already included, lots of greenery and a hodgepodge of cool furniture. The bar selection is stellar and reasonably priced and the bar set-up is uber classy. The veranda and courtyard area created this really delightful oasis right off a busy street.
I loved everything about this place and the staff, especially Melody, and would 110% have an event here again if I had a reason!
I am photog who has worked with these lovely ladies more than a few times for events and have had such a good experience every time!! I photographed a rehearsal dinner with them not long ago and I was impressed!!! It was elegant, clean, covid friendly, & had so many gorgeous thoughtful details.. these ladies did an amazing job taking the vision of what the bride and groom were looking for and brining it to life at their gorgeous event space. During the event Melody and Paige are always busy making sure everything is running smoothly, is on time, and any and all concerns that may arise are addressed to them - so that you never need to worry and can enjoy your night!!
I loved shooting that rehearsal dinner so much for a.companie it was a no-brained I needed to hired them for my own rehearsal dinner! (Yes I’m a COVID bride). Until the month of my rehearsal dinner I thought it would be easy to do on my own (catering,decor, dessert, seating and linens, music, covid guidelines ... list goes on) - I am SO GRATEFUL I had them to help. They came that week to see my parents back yard, helped me pick out decoration to fit my needs (amazon prime baby). The ladies gave me several ideas of food options / pricing break down. Once I decided they did all the ordering of food, alcohol, soda, lawn games, rented tables chairs and linens for the big day and put zero stress on me to pick things up/organize. Not only did they organize, they picked everything up, set them up in the backyard, cleaned up as guests were done eating, boxed all the leftovers and neatly put them in the fridge, and returned everything we rented at the end of the night- all while I was socializing with my guests and family. SO THOUGHTFUL. Paige masked and gloved up to serve food to the guests, passed around hand sanitizers and was very health-friendly - such a big relief!!! It was amazing not to have to worry, they literally were so awesome to work with.
These ladies have event planning down - literally love working with them and can’t wait for our events to come in the future!!
Where to begin…the team at a.companie cannot be beat. Melody and Paige truly went above and beyond to ensure that our wedding day was the stuff of dreams. Throughout each stage of the planning process, they were there to check all the boxes and keep us on track. I needed a lot of hand holding 😊 and they were up to the task, checking in constantly to make sure our vision was still at the forefront of the planning process. Their combined experience brought so much knowledge and attention to every little detail. Melody and Paige showed us possibilities for table layouts, florals, décor pieces, among many other things that we did not even know were possible. It might seem cliché to say, but they really do think out of the box and made all our selected vendors work to their highest potential to provide us with the most perfect day. I can truly say that everything we did on our wedding day was unique and had never been done before; it was all possible thanks to the team at a.companie. If I could give more stars or write an even lengthier review I would. They deserve all the business in the world and more!
Melody and Paige made our intimate, outdoor, and socially distanced wedding a simple and classy affair. It all began as a Facebook search looking for a wedding planner to help with ideas for an intimate wedding after Covid-19 forced us to cancel our original plans. From the start, Melody was focused on what we could do vs. what we couldn’t. That attitude immediately made me feel as if I had made a great choice. Throughout the entire planning process, both ladies answered all my questions and suggested ideas that enhanced the decor that I had already invested in. The actual day of the wedding was wonderful. They literally took care of everything and were so professional and thoughtful of every detail. Whether your wedding event is big or small like mine, you can count on a.companie to bring your vision to life!
We could not be happier with the crew at a.companie! We knew they would be a perfect match from the initial planning meeting, nine months before the big day. Their attention to every detail, large or small, was much appreciated. Many times emails would arrive asking questions or suggesting details we didn't realize were needed. Many details were items or ideas that made my daughter's wedding day extra special. They attended every vendor meeting, asking the vendor questions we hadn't considered.
Overtime hours were spent at the rehearsal dinner, venue set up and wedding day ensuring everything was absolutely perfect. I know there were times their crew was behind the scenes fixing things we didn't know went awry. The guests were wowed, my husband and I were moved and our daughter & new husband were awed by everything on their special day!
Melody, Paige, Danielle and crew are gems and we couldn't have had such a beautiful wedding without them!
