I cannot give Alexis enough credit or stars for the wonderful job she did on our day! She incorporated our love of Star Wars into the entire space, perfectly nerdy but still classy, which was exactly how I had described what we wanted to her months before. She was available to us for any and all questions and was so much fun to work with. I can’t give her enough praise or gratitude for doing so much for us and taking all of the responsibility off of us for the day of. She and her team were wonderful and helped us out so much and i would recommend her with high marks!

Julia, you are too sweet!
It was my absolute pleasure to bring your vision to life, and have so much fun along the way :)
I wish you and Clarke nothing but the best!!
Deciding to plan a wedding with over 100 guests in five months seemed absolutely crazy and daunting to me, but the moment Alexis stepped into the picture and talked through the process with us, so many of my worries faded away. That assurance only grew as we continued to work together in that short amount of time. We had our wedding in September in Pittsburgh, which was out of town for where Alexis was based, but she worked with us closely and with our vendors, making sure communication and planning went smoothly.
Alexis was a comforting voice and extremely knowledgeable through every step of the way, coming to Pittsburgh for the big decisions like catering, table linens, and decor. We did her partial planning services, because there were some things we wanted to handle on our own like photography and the DJ, but she made sure we were on top of all of that. Really the biggest help she provided throughout planning was her ability to help us stay organized and have clear communication between us and our vendors. She was even excellent with negotiating prices or helping us save costs wherever possible. When we were organizing our (multiple) after parties, Alexis helped us coordinate and seamlessly transition to those events from the reception. We were in the process of buying a house during this time and admits so much chaos in our lives, Alexis was our saving grace!
And want to especially point out, when it came to decor, I shared some ideas of images that I liked for inspiration but Alexis took complete charge of that and the final product was better than anything I could have imagined. We completely trusted her throughout the process and she delivered whole-heartedly. I had no real idea of how I wanted the cake to look or our main table - just basic ideas - but Alexis brought it all to life.
For the day of, we knew early on that Alexis would not be able to make it due to a prior work event, but she had put us in great hands with her team. Pauline did the decorations for our rehearsal dinner - which I hadn’t even given much thought to the decor and it looked absolutely amazing. The best part of it all, was that night, Alexis finished up her other assignment early and drove overnight to make it there for our wedding day. The day itself went so smoothly I didn’t have to this or worry about anything. And so many people complimented us on the wedding not just how it looked but how well everything was executed. We would not have asked for a more perfect day or experience.
Anyone would be lucky to have Alexis plan their big day. We are so thankful for all she and her team did for us!

Any questions?
Cannot say enough about Alexis's professionalism, creativity, attention to detail, communicativeness, and overall sweet nature.
Our wedding weekend could not have been a success without her. We want to get married again just so we could work with her one more time! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
We were beyond thrilled about all of the work Alexis and her team did for our wedding. The whole day went seamlessly and the decor was absolutely perfect. She brought my fall celestial wedding to life and I couldn't be happier! Everyone dreams about their wedding day being perfect, and thanks to Alexis and Pauline, it was 🧡
Alexis worked with us for wedding day-of coordination. She went above and beyond to help us out. Alexis was always very responsive, helpful with advice, and always checking in to see how wedding planning was going. The day of the wedding was flawless because of Alexis.
She made sure everything was perfect for us. I would choose Alexis again and again for our wedding. I really cannot say enough great things about Alexis!!
I loooved working with Alexis! She made me feel so at ease on my wedding day and truly made sure I was taken care of. She made sure my husband and I got all and any food and drinks we wanted and needed on the day-of which was HUGE! The day is so hectic and goes by so fast and it really helped to know she had everything handled. Before the wedding, if there was anything I needed, she was there for me and likely had already thought that through. So thankful for her and her team!!

Owner
I was born and raised in NYC but I now call SC home. I grew up dancing ballet, graduated from FIT and worked for Vera Wang in NYC, before settling in to wedding planning. It was actually ballet, and helping with fundraiser events, that led me into planning. After doing a number of coworkers' weddings, I knew this was the right fit! My strengths are best suited in full service planning, working with a couple from start to finish to design something that is truly unique to them as a couple, as well as the individuals who make up that couple. I'd love to help you create magic for your big day!
