Allison James Weddings

TON of DIY projects for our ceremony and reception including: growing all of our own flowers, extremely complicated centerpieces, huge welcome table and going all out decorating the venue bathrooms and Allison crushed it all!! She kept us on track with planning and was amazing communicating with our venue and such a calming, organized yet still excited presence for us even when we were about to go insane. Every design detail we described along the way we thought "oh gosh this is so much and so insane" and yet she was just all on board "sounds great! Love that!" We had one weather issue on our day and she made the perfect choices to make everything work perfectly and still look amazing and no guest was the wiser and we did not have to worry for a second because Allison had everything under control! Thanks Allison!! -BrAng

s a professional, extremely organized, and deeply dedicated to each of her clients and their families. Allison was always very easy to reach and makes herself totally available to her clients to ensure that there is not stress on your end. The clear communication with her leading up to our wedding day put my mind at ease and gave me full confidence in her ability to handle our large 130+ person wedding (she even took the time to answer my late night texts the night before to ensure I had nothing to worry about!) On the day of the wedding it was a beautiful sunny day and we had planned to set cocktail hour up outside at our reception venue. However, after the ceremony at the church I went outside and panicked about what would happen with cocktail hour. I sent Allison a worried text and she told me it was all taken care of and set-up inside beautifully! She communicated clearly with all our vendors and coordinated the day flawlessly to make sure it was seamless. When I arrived at cocktail hour, the venue was beautifully decorated and the indoor set-up was beyond perfect - it actually worked out even better than having cocktail hour outside because it was much cooler inside away from the humidity!! Allison is also very creative and thinks of everything you forget when planning decor. The napkin rings we bought turned out to not close completely, so Allison got creative in coming up with the most perfect solution to make sure the napkin rings stayed closed, as if they were build that way! I noticed it when I say down for dinner and was really impressed. Allison continuously coordinated with the vendors throughout the night and made sure we were on schedule so that everything ran smoothly. When the bustle on my dress ripped right before my first dance, I panicked thinking I couldn't dance with my long train. Allison was swift to calm me, notify all vendors of the change in schedule, and was quick to assist in sewing in a new bustle to my dress so that I could dance! She was fabulous and the bustle she helped sew into my dress looked better than the original!!! If you are looking for a coordinator, planner, or decorator who is committed to you, understands what it's like to be a bride, and who is ready to go above and beyond- this is your sign to stop looking and contact Allison. Working with her was like working with an old friend who is dedicated to making your day perfect. We had the most beautiful wedding and it was the best day ever. I highly recommend Allison and all her services. We were all so impressed with her and so thankful to have had her handle everything!! Most importantly, my mom (who is a hostess at heart and has never let an event go by without trying to host and organize everything) was able to fully relax and enjoy the day, as she completely trusted Allison (and rightfully so)- that was HUGE. We cannot thank you enough Allison!! Thank you for everything!!

of Coordinator “- she went above and beyond!! The day was absolutely magical and went off without a hitch- thanks to her quick thinking and graceful handling of the inevitable glitches- including any vendor concerns- and a big weather problem!! All day and night she was always there in the background making sure everything was perfect! She was willing to step up with whatever we needed- along with some great ideas and helpful advice of her own! We wholeheartedly recommend Allison James Weddings!!!
