Allyssa Elaine Events

Allyssa exceeded every expectation I had for a wedding planner. She went above and beyond to make sure our wedding was perfect. We had a year and a half engagement, and Allyssa was there the whole way. She was organized, and had amazing communication the entire time. Allyssa took so much stress off of my husband and I, and gave us the opportunity to have fun and enjoy planning our wedding. Day of, I knew I had nothing to worry about. Allyssa brought my vision to life, and even made it better than I imagined. She dealt with any and everything that came up, and made sure my only job was to relax and enjoy getting ready. We would not have been able to have our beautiful wedding without Allyssa. We are forever grateful that she was apart of our journey.

6 out of 5 stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 1) If you are questioning whether or not investing in a wedding planner is worth it, just about any bride will tell you the answer is YES. Just yes. 2) If you are wondering why you should book Allyssa Elaine Events - You need to book with Allyssa Elaine Events because her talent is making hard things look easy. My husband and I booked Allyssa's Full Planning package. We worked with her for a year prior to our wedding. Because we had Allyssa on board from the very beginning, my husband and I were able to truly enjoy our time being engaged and focus our energy on other fun engagement activities like my bridal shower & bachelorette and his bachelor party. We both have demanding careers so we definitely knew we needed a hands-on wedding planner. A prior bride of her’s told me how accessible she was. That really sealed the deal for us when selecting a wedding planner. Now I’m here to tell you that’s absolutely accurate. Allyssa was always so responsive and made her herself available for us. At times it was hard to imagine to she had other brides because she always gave us 100% of her attention and made us feel so special. Our wedding day could not have gone smoother and was entirely stress free because of Allyssa. She even told me what a calm bride I was. Me!? Calm!? Ha! That just goes to show how much trust we had in Allyssa and how excellent she is! She made sure everyone involved in the wedding from vendors, our wedding party, and guests knew exactly where to be and what to do so my husband and I didn't have to field questions all day and could just enjoy our special day. I can't even list all the things Allyssa did to make our wedding day perfect because more than half of her magic happened behind the scenes. All of these pieces of our wedding that we planned with her for the entire year prior just seemed to ✨ effortlessly ✨ fall into place. But that's the thing. Your wedding day takes A LOT of effort! But it all seemed so easy and so smooth because of Allyssa. She is beauty, she is grace, and in true Taylor Swift doppelgänger fashion, she made everything look effortless!

I cannot express enough how grateful I am for Allyssa. I didn’t have her as my full planner, although I wish I would have. She stepped in six weeks before the wedding and completely transformed the process, she made herself available well before the 6 weeks whenever I needed her and met with me and the vendors to ensure everything was perfectly aligned with my vision. As someone who is typically very anxious, I was amazed at how stress-free my wedding day was, all thanks to her. Allyssa went above and beyond, handling every detail and truly bringing my ideas to life, designing gorgeous signage, creating and executing a flawless timeline, and making sure everything was exactly where it needed to be. She was always there when I needed her and was so helpful with even the little things from tidying up the bridal suite for pictures, to helping buckle my shoes, and managing my dress that had many parts. Even at the at the end of the night, due to a miscommunication on my end about a vehicle for all of our stuff. Allyssa packed everything into her own car and made it easy for us to get our stuff later Everything turned out far beyond what I imagined, and I was able to enjoy the day, knowing that no matter what came up, Allyssa would handle it. Her professionalism, creativity, and calm demeanor made everything so much easier, and I can never thank her enough for helping make our wedding day perfect. A wedding planner/ coordinator is 100% worth the investment and I could not recommended Allyssa Elaine Events enough!

Allyssa made our day AMAZING. From working with me and my parents with our DIY decorations and organizations, to working with all of our vendors to coordinate time of arrival at venue and meetings, I cannot thank her enough. She made our wedding go so smooth and it genuinely was a perfect day. From our very first meeting and then our six week call, our timeline was so well planned and thought out. After our call, my husband and I felt a thousand pounds lifted off of our shoulders. I genuinely cannot recommend a coordinator enough and highly recommend Allyssa. Her amazing personality, kind and calm words, and overall demeanor made my wedding day amazing. Cannot say enough good things. Thank you again Allyssa!!!

One of the best decisions we made was to hire Allyssa from the get-go for planning / coordination! From our first call we knew we were in great hands as she helped fill in the gaps to our vision and recommended trusted vendors. Whenever we mentioned Allyssa was our planner to other vendors, they always breathed a sign of relief and said "Allyssa is the best!" This was always the best sign as she is well respected by members in the industry. She kept us on track, on budget and was always there to answer questions no matter how big or small. On our wedding day, we truly had no stress on the logistics / details knowing that Allyssa was there and had already spoken with all of our vendors to iron out any kinks. I'm sure there were things that came up but we never heard about any issues and fully got to enjoy every second of our day. I truly could not recommend her and her team more. There was nothing I would change about our day and Allyssa was a HUGE part of making that so! She is the best!!!

Allyssa made my wedding day just perfect. I had zero stress about the final days leading up to the big day. She knows what you need before you even say it. Everything ran so smoothly with her in charge. Her wedding checklist was beyond helpful making sure I stayed on track in the months leading up to the wedding taking into account every miniscual detail that I might need. She brought such a light energy and calming presence to the day. Thank you for everything Allyssa we absolutely loved having you and will be recommending you to all of our friends!

I got married at Westwind Hills and I'm a very organized person and loved wedding planning so I wasn't sure if I needed a wedding coordinator. After attending a few weddings without one, I realized we definitely needed someone to be the point person on our wedding day and to help with some of the planning, timeline and logistics. Looking back, it was the absolute best decision and we're SO glad we went with Allyssa! Our entire bridal party was so impressed with Allyssa and her team. She made any decisions that came up, solved numerous problems, kept everyone on track, and most importantly, made sure everyone could be present in the moment. My husband and I haven't stopped talking about how flawless our wedding day was and how Allyssa and her team played the biggest part in that! Allyssa has a ton of experience and it shows. She's kind, thoughtful and very professional. I can't recommend AEE enough!

Allyssa was excellent and a massive help while planning our wedding and coordinating day of. Allyssas planning schedule and budget she put together for us was detailed and kept us right on track up to the big day. She offered amazing recommendations for all our vendors and was always responsive if we had questions. On the day of Allyssa coordinated everything for us so we didn’t have to worry with zero issues and was extremely professional. She was absolutely amazing, I couldn’t imagine our wedding going well without her help!

Allyssa was everything we could have wanted in a wedding coordinator. From our initial meeting, I could tell that we could trust Allyssa to help our day run smoothly. A few months before our wedding, she took over all the communication with our vendors and reread contracts and organized the day of, so we could focus on other things. She helped deal with issues and offered advice whenever I texted her with questions. On wedding day, she was the calming presence that you need on such a whirlwind day. At one point, I didn’t like a flower in my bouquet, and Allyssa swiftly cut it out without me even having to ask. I truly do not have enough words to thank Allyssa. I knew the whole night while we were dancing and enjoying our day that everything was taken care of because we had Allyssa and her team. If I could offer any soon-to-be-bride advice for their wedding day, it would be to hire Allyssa!

As a wedding vendor myself, I’ve had the pleasure of working with Allyssa and her team a few times. So I get a different view, behind the scenes. Allyssa and her team are absolutely phenomenal! I’m always amazed at her professional calmness even under what could be a stressful situation. Her attention to detail under any circumstance is outstanding. She’s creative, offers great communication, and is well organized. She goes above and beyond, helping out in ways that aren’t even required, just to make sure your wedding goes smoothly. If you’re debating on hiring her, I can tell you in all honesty after knowing her for a few years now, you won’t be disappointed.

My husband and I (and my mom) are beyond grateful for Allyssa. We would not have been able to enjoy our day as much as we did without her!   She went above and beyond on the day of the wedding and throughout the entire wedding process. When I first got engaged I was lost on where to start - just so overwhelmed by all the information out there. Hiring Allyssa was the best decision because she helped my mom and I organize the wedding process. She helped my husband and I discover what exactly we wanted out of the wedding and she helped us execute it all. She kept us on a timeline and ensured things were completed on time. Our wedding would not have been as fun and spectacular as it was without Allyssa.    She made it so my husband and I could focus on each other instead of all the tiny details throughout the day. She made it so my mom,sister, and bridesmaids, also got to enjoy the day and did not have to attend to the details. During our rehearsal she helped ensure the bridal party knew what they were doing and felt comfortable with their roles. On our wedding day she met with all the vendors and set everything up which helped us all to relax and enjoy the wedding morning. Throughout the day she helped ensure we stuck to our timeline  (which I greatly appreciate as a type A individual). She came to the rescue when we couldn’t figure out the bustle for my dress and knew so many tips and tricks throughout the day to help it all run smoothly. She was so amazing that she even stayed well past 12:30am to help me get out of my wedding dress - way too many buttons for my husband!    I cannot recommend Allyssa enough. If you are on the fence about hiring her DO IT! Set up a phone call with her and you will come to realize just how great of a person she is! You will not regret it and it is without a doubt money well spent! I talk about Allyssa at each of the weddings I go to and have recommended her to many of my friends. I will forever be grateful to Allyssa and am blessed to have met her!

Allyssa from Allyssa Elaine Events is the best for wedding planning and coordination. As the Mother of the Bride from another state, I knew I needed assistance in planning and coordinating my daughter’s dream wedding. Allyssa ensured we selected the right vendors, stayed within budget, and adhered to the planning timeline. She kept us organized and brought clarity to the items we needed to make decisions on each month. She has many helpful planning templates to use throughout the process from budgets, timelines, photo lists, checklists, etc. Allyssa attended vendor and venue meetings with the bride in my absence and coordinated with vendors to keep the process moving forward to our special day. Two extraordinary situations stand out on the day of the wedding where Allyssa came to the rescue. While getting dressed for the church, I finished 2 button loops on the bride’s dress (no small feat) with 28 more to go. I thought to myself, we are going to be late to the ceremony, so I called out to Allyssa. She leaped into action, whipped out her trusty crochet needle, and before I knew it all the button loops were done, and we were off to the ceremony! After the ceremony, Allyssa helped us bustle the dress in less than 30 seconds, despite four of us struggling to bustle it for over 10 minutes. She is a professional with loads of experience and knows exactly what to do in any situation. I planned a second wedding three weeks later without Allyssa. Throughout that wedding, I said many times I wished Allyssa was there to help us as she was deeply missed. Take my advice as someone who planned two weddings within three weeks of each other, hire Allyssa. Please give yourself, the bride & your family members the special gift of Allyssa. Do not think twice – she will take care of all the details which allows you to relax and enjoy your special celebration!

I can’t put into words how amazing Allyssa and her team were. She truly made my wedding day go as seamless as possible. Having a separate ceremony and reception venue, my main concern for my wedding day was figuring out all of the logistics of how everything will play out. From when we met with Allyssa 6 weeks prior to our day, I knew I was in the best hands possible! After our call, she immediately contacted all of my vendors, created a very detailed timeline for the day, and made adjustments with my vendors as needed. Whatever I had questions about, she had the answers! We were able to hand off all of our decor to her a few days prior and she took our vision and put it together perfectly. We weren’t able to run our rehearsal at our actual venue, but Allyssa made the rehearsal run so efficiently and smooth. She made sure my bridal party and family all had printed timelines for the next day as well. The day of, I had no worries what so ever. If there were any issues that day, I was not aware of them! Allyssa is so calm, easy to work with, and truly amazing at what she does. I can’t say enough good things about her. Our day was more perfect than I could’ve ever imagined and I owe it to her. If you need a wedding coordinator, I highly recommend Allyssa!!! 🩷

Our wedding day was completely stress free because of Allyssa. Let me give you an example: My mom and I spent HOURS making a seating chart with the names perfectly positioned on a gold mirror. We used glue dots to hang the names, and it was very hot on the day of the wedding. When my sisters’ boyfriends transported the mirror to the venue, it got so hot that all of the names fell off and they accidentally stepped on them, ruining the paper. Before my mom even knew this was happening, Allyssa had reached out and retrieved the file, sent it to Fedex to be printed, sent the boys to pick it up and had all of the names back up like nothing happened. INCREDIBLE!!! I don’t know how she does it! Allyssa, you are truly amazing at your job and such a sweet vendor turned friend. We are so thankful for all that you did to make Drew and I’s wedding so perfect! My mom and I’s favorite quote of wedding planning was “don’t worry, Allyssa will handle it,” and we were so right. We can’t wait to hire Allyssa for both of my sisters’ weddings in the future!

Allyssa was fantastic. We worked with her for "Wedding Management" which was essentially day-of coordination but starting at 6 weeks out. Even before that, she kept us incredibly organized with helpful docs and planning forms for our vendors. Allyssa was a calming presence on our wedding day and ensured everything ran smoothly. She was the main point of contact with our vendors going into the day, ensured everything was set up according to our vision, and our personal items were well taken care of. It was such a relief knowing we were in such good hands and could truly enjoy our wedding day. Thank you to Allyssa and team for helping make our day magical. We wish we could relive it all over again.

Allyssa and her team was absolutely essential to our perfect wedding day! I booked her for the 6 weeks and this made my wedding month and day enjoyable, stress free, and ran smoothly. She is a kind, knowledgeable, professional, yet friendly, and felt like talking with a friend. I 10/10 recommend AEE for wedding planning and coordination!

All I have to say is WOW! Allyssa was beyond amazing and helped execute the BEST day ever for my husband and I. We could not have done it without her! We hired her for the Partial Planning package and we never looked back. Whenever I had any questions or concerns, she would always get back to me and helped ease the burden of planning a wedding. She had so many resources and after our 6 week meeting, I felt so prepared for the lead up to our wedding. On the day of coordination, she was always there when I needed her for something. She truly made us feel like we could relax and enjoy the day, since everything would be taken care of. HIRE HER, it will be the best decision you make!

The moment I decided to hire Allyssa to take the wedding reigns 6-weeks out I immediately let out a massive sigh of relief. I am a very, very type A person and knew I needed someone to fully trust to take over everything I had carefully planned and designed so me, my now new husband (!!!) and my family could enjoy wedding day worry free. At our 6-week out meeting Allyssa listened, took notes, laughed with us, and provided us with unwavering reassurance. She is BEYOND calm, so truly unbelievably organized, a quick problem solver, an amazing communicator, and a joy to work with. Plus, a huge Swiftie - obviously sealed the deal for me. She goes above and beyond the bullet points on her scope of work outline. Our day would not have been so perfectly seamless without her. My parents have said over and over again "Yes, we definitely needed Allyssa," and we will all be saying that for years to come. Please, if you're in the market for a planner or on the fence if you need a coordinator or not - you NEED Allyssa on your team. I absolutely promise you it will be one of the best decisions you make. Thank you, Allyssa and the whole AEE team for putting on the most enchanting day of my wildest dreams.

We don't have enough words here for Allyssa... To put it briefly, she was absolutely essential to our wedding. She was our very first vendor we hired and quickly became a very close friend. She treated us like family, she coordinated every vendor contact, every communication, and every detail. She knew our wedding venue and their staff very well, as well as all of the vendors we chose, and executed our timeline and event flawlessly. She never turned away a phone call or late night email, and she always made herself available to us. If you want a wedding planner/coordinator who truly cares about your wedding day as much as you do, put your trust in Allyssa. Our wedding was absolutely perfect and exactly what we wanted thanks to her hard work, dedication, and years of experience. She is truly an incredible human with an enormous heart for helping others discover their dreams and bringing them to life. We love Allyssa and would absolutely recommend her to everyone we meet!

Our wedding day was truly the best day ever, and Allyssa, and her assistant Jordan, have a lot to do with it! With regards to the planning portion, Allyssa is absolutely incredible. I am an extremely type A person, obsessed with to do lists and tracking. Still, I’ve never met someone quite as detail oriented as Allyssa. Nothing will be forgotten under her supervision! Even with the partial planning package, throughout the planning process Allyssa was sure to send me frequent reminders/check-ins. Nothing ever felt rushed or past due. She has a foresight that is unparalleled. She also has the BEST vendor recommendations, which were all particular to our budget, vision, and personality, and all melded together so well. We opted to do the design package with Allyssa, and she delivered! She created a custom proposal using our Pinterest/photo inspiration/verbal descriptions, and, over the course of 2 years, communicated with us, our rentals services (Styled and Staged), and our florist (Katie at Rouge) to literally construct the things dreams are made of, being very flexible as our vision evolved over that period of time. From insight on stationary, to tables/place settings, to florals/displays, everything was executed better than I could ever imagine. I could not be more amazed by how visually beautiful our wedding was, and how on par it was with the vision we had! On the actual wedding weekend, she knew how to command a room and get things done, while at the same time still managing to keep the energy light and fun. The day prior, she picked up/dropped off our rentals, and her leading the rehearsal was efficient yet effective. Everyone knew their roles and felt ready for the wedding day. She had hard copies of our timeline to provide to all wedding party members as well. Day of, she arrived early, making sure everything was executed to perfection. Her and her assistant Jordan were so on top of things, that if anything went wrong, it was rapidly addressed and/or I literally did not notice it. For instance, my bustle broke right before the first dance and she safety pinned it like an absolute boss in less than 1 minute, and it stayed put through multiple dips, twirls, and lifts! We had to change hotel rooms mid-wedding day, and Allyssa ensured that all of our personal belongings were shifted and taken care of. She executed a very detailed, extensive room flip in very minimal time. During reception dancing, the dress zipper of one of our guests ripped, and Allyssa was there to reconstruct her dress back using safety pins-she was able to dance the night away comfortably! After our wedding, she was sure to collect all our rentals, make sure our personal belongings at the wedding (signage, photos, outfit changes, etc) were cared for, and even sent in our marriage license. Her assistant Jordan went above and beyond by using our Polaroid camera from our guest book station to take candids thoughout the day. Allyssa made the most beautiful highlight reel to share on instagram. Both of these captures were so wonderful because we were able to enjoy/share all of this while waiting for our professional photos/video. Choose Allyssa, and you and your guests will all be taken care of without a doubt. Truly one of the best decisions we made!

Allyssa was a true JOY to work with. She made our special day as easy as possible from the start of our very first meeting 6 weeks out. She called out details I hadn't yet thought to take care of, she had resources like templates and outlines organized in drives for me to stay on track and feel supported, and her lovely personality is just an added bonus as you start to work with her. Allyssa covered every base for us whether it was from a creative, operational/logistics, or calming perspective - she and her team will make you feel as if nothing could go wrong on the big day. She was incredibly professional and I walked away from working with her like I had truly gained a new friend as well! I couldn't recommend Allyssa and her team enough as a planner if I tried!!! Thanks for making our wedding day perfect AEE!

Allyssa was the best investment for my wedding day. She is on top of everything - I never had to follow up or inquire about where we were with something - she did her job amazingly, efficiently, and eloquently. I 100% recommend Allyssa for your wedding day + special events. Not only did I appreciate her and team, everyone who was in attendance at my wedding knew she was hitting the mark + amazing!

Choosing Allyssa as our wedding coordinator was the ultimate game-changer, ensuring our big day was an absolute dream. Amidst the whirlwind of over a year of planning, finding someone to bring our vision to life was a nerve-wracking task, but Allyssa proved to be the perfect match. Right from the get-go, the documents she shared with us kept us organized and prompted us to consider aspects we hadn't even thought of. When we met with her about six weeks before the big day – she was the epitome of calm, cool, and collected. Allyssa wasn't just an incredible coordinator; she was a wonderful human being to have by our side so close to the wedding. On the day of the celebration, she seemed to defy the laws of physics, being everywhere at once to ensure everything unfolded as planned. Our venue was a masterpiece, decorated just as we had envisioned, and Allyssa effortlessly handled those last-minute curveballs we couldn't have anticipated. As the night drew to a close, we bid our farewells after a perfect final dance. Miraculously, Allyssa had transformed into a behind-the-scenes wizard, packaging and storing everything – from decor to leftover goodies - ready for us without having to lift a finger. Ending our evening with zero stress was a gift we didn't know we needed. Reflecting on the night, we found ourselves wishing we could shower Allyssa with a million thanks for making our day beyond perfect. Countless people advised us to have a wedding coordinator, emphasizing the importance of us and our loved ones enjoying the day without fretting over the small details. I'm thrilled I heeded that advice, and I can confidently say Allyssa does it best. If you want your wedding day to be a flawless and enjoyable masterpiece, hire Allyssa – you won't be disappointed. She's the real MVP of wedding planning & coordination!

The best decision we made during our wedding process was hiring Allyssa as our wedding planner and designer. I consider myself “type A” and well organized, but my organization skills are nothing in comparison to Allyssa. From our first introduction call I knew we were in good hands with Allyssa on our team. Allyssa provided us with a Google Drive to store all wedding documents and guides. She went with us to tour venues, set up our budget, and helped us hire all of our wonderful vendors. She took our wedding vision, including my love of color and turned it into a beautiful design plan which was executed flawlessly. We had a long engagement (1.5 years) and the entire time I always felt like we were her only couple, that’s how kind she is and how attentive she is to your needs. On our wedding weekend, I was able to give up complete control and focus on my husband and our families/friends. I never had to worry we wouldn’t be somewhere on time or a decoration wouldn’t get put up- Allyssa’s team had it all under control. Every time I turned my head- Allyssa was right there as if she read my mind when I needed her. When I was afraid I was going to trip down the aisle in my dress, she calmed my nerves and gave me tips on how to walk. Coffee spilled on my dress? No problem- she had the stain right out. We have received so many compliments from family and friends on how beautiful and well executed our wedding was. And all the while, my husband and I could focus on our marriage and celebrating with family and friends with no worries. We have all wonderful memories from our wedding weekend, and we have Allyssa to thank for all of it. We miss talking to Allyssa all the time, but we can’t wait to recommend her to anyone we know getting married. Gift yourselves that peace of mind and hire Allyssa!

At the end of our wedding night, as we said goodbye to Allyssa, we found ourselves asking her to continue our friendship. That’s how much you will fall in love with her. When I first started looking for a coordinator 16 months ahead of our wedding, I knew that as a professional project manager I needed to find someone even more Type A than I am. I hired Allyssa when she came off as a no-nonsense, organized and kindhearted woman, but she is so much more! During the months that led up to our wedding she was super responsive anytime I had a question, whether it was a vendor recommendation (which she will give you) or what times to put on our invitations. Once we met Allyssa in person about six weeks out, we knew we’d get along swimmingly. She listened to our bad jokes and took attentive notes, leaving us feeling relieved that we were handing off the wedding of our dreams to someone who would take it to the next level. She thought of wedding details I’d never even considered, such as how wide our aisle had to be and where the ceremony musicians would be sitting. During our rehearsal and the wedding morning, she pulled me aside to encourage me anytime I seemed frazzled. She was there for us the whole day, constantly checking in on what we needed and how we were feeling all while directing the overall flow of the day. Not only that, but she made sure that everything looked perfect, from fixing my veil during photos to transporting and setting up our decor at the reception venue. For anyone wondering if they need to hire a coordinator, Allyssa makes you want one. All our friends and family were impressed by how much she helped the day run smoothly. She was the best investment for our entire wedding.

There really aren't enough positive words to describe Allyssa and her service. We hired Allyssa for our day of coordinator which started 6-8 weeks out from wedding day but Allyssa was nice enough to check in well prior to that to see if we had any questions, needed help with anything, and provide recommendations. From our first official meeting at the 8 week mark, I knew I wouldn't have to worry about a thing with Allyssa on my team. She was organized, responsive, on top of everything, and always had this calm demeanor that takes away so much stress during wedding planning . Even though I know how busy she is, she makes you feel like you're the only wedding she has going on. You can really tell she cares about her clients and what she does. On the actual wedding day, I literally did not have to worry about a thing as Allyssa was on top of everything. I wanted to change into my reception sneaker early, there was Allyssa with my shoes. Was ready for a cocktail, Allyssa had one waiting for me at my seat. Needed something out of my purse, there was Allyssa with my purse in hand. Really just the most stress free, perfect day, largely due to Allyssa and her team. If anything went wrong, I have no idea about it, which is exactly what you want! Truly I cannot thank or recommend Allyssa enough!!

Allyssa blew Brian and I away on our wedding day. She is organized beyond words and made one of the biggest moments of our lives seamless. She paid attention to every detail - details I didn't even think of. I'm positive Allyssa did more things for us on our wedding day than I will ever be aware of. From our first phone call to the end of our wedding night, she was calm, collected, and professional. She knows exactly what to say if you're worried about something, what to do and how to make it happen. Hiring Allyssa was the best decision we could have ever made. If you don't hire her for your big day, you've really missed out! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts - we are forever grateful.

ALLYSSA IS THE BOMB!!!! she is so calm and collected and made me feel like I didn’t have to worry about a thing on the day of. Leading up the event she also was able to answer all my questions in a timely manner. She totally surpassed my expectations!!!!

No words that I can type in this review can even begin to explain how pivotal Allyssa was in making our day the best it could be. After booking our venue, Allyssa was the next vendor that we booked for our wedding day. We were engaged for 2 years and any time along that 2 year journey, if I needed Allyssa’s advice or input on choosing any of my other wedding vendors she was right there to help. She is the QUEEN of Google drive and all things excel spreadsheets. When we finally got to 6 weeks out, she took over all communication with our vendors which took so much stress off of me. On my wedding day, I was stress free because I knew everything would be handled. Our entire family and our friends were able to fully enjoy our day because Allyssa was there to handle all of the details, big and small. If you are thinking about having Allyssa be your wedding planner/coordinator… just do it! She is the greatest ever.

Allyssa was the absolute BEST wedding planner! She is incredibly organized and provided very helpful documents and spreadsheets that made the last 6 weeks leading up to our wedding a breeze. She is easy to communicate with and took any/all stress away. On our wedding day, Allyssa handled everything! This allowed me, my mom, and wedding party to relax and enjoy the 'getting ready' experience. I am so grateful for all that Allyssa did to make my wedding day so special.

Allyssa is the best. She really has it all together. We used her as our day of coordinator and when we had our meeting with her 30 days out from our wedding I swear all the stress flew off our shoulders. She handled all the correspondance with our vendors and kept a running to do list for us so we knew what had to be done, which helped us stay on top of everything. She showed up to our final walk through and helped answer all the questions, she had detailed documents and folders on Google that we collaborated on, she was timely and communicative and overall wonderful. Any time I had a little panic moment, I would text Allyssa and she would respond immediately, helping relieve any anxiety I had. She helped organize everything at the rehearsal, and day of, she was fantastic. Our parents and bridal party were even blown away by her ability to keep everyone in line and stick to the schedule perfectly. She thought of every detail and made sure our day went as smoothly as possible. I didn’t have to worry about ANYTHING day of, she told me what to do, where to be, and what was happening. She went above and beyond and helped put flowers in my hair before the photos. By the time the evening was over, she had our cars packed and moved to the proper spots, all of our stuff organized for us, and my purse, phone and keys were in my hand. I was in awe!!! We didn’t have to worry about where any of our stuff was and there was literally NOTHING missing. She even mailed our marriage license back to the office after the wedding. She truly did. not. miss. Allyssa is kind, organized, punctual and truly incredible. Our wedding day went perfectly and I don’t think it would have been as great without Allyssa. Booking her was the best decision we made during the wedding planning process. We would recommend her to anyone!!!

Allyssa was incredible to work with! Each time we met with her, my husband and I could not shut up about how organized, calm, and collected she was and how impressed we were with her. During the wedding weekend, Allyssa was the talk of the wedding party, one of whom said, "I feel like I would be able to accomplish anything with Allyssa by my side" 😂 One of my biggest worries when prepping for the wedding day was that I would not be able to fully enjoy the day or be fully present, but with Allyssa there to make sure everything was running smoothly, there was nothing to do but enjoy the day. The icing on the cake was when she found my husband and me on the dance floor to hand deliver chick-fil-a nuggets (our late night snack) to make sure we got some before anyone else. She truly thinks of everything! Everyone warned me that something would go wrong on my wedding day, but when the day ended and I realized nothing went wrong, I knew it was thanks to Allyssa. I can't imagine what my wedding day would have been without her. Do yourself a favor and book her now!

As Mother of the Bride, our daughter got married last weekend and we were very impressed with Allyssa! She did an outstanding job with anything and everything we needed. She was very attentive and hard working from the beginning and through the rehearsal and the whole wedding day! She kept perfect order to our whole day and everything ran so smoothly. I received many compliments about her at the reception from guests that noticed her attentiveness. We highly recommend her!

Allyssa completely surpassed my expectations! I knew it would be nice to have someone "helping" on the wedding day but I did not realize all of the little details Allyssa would be taking care of. At the beginning she helped me create a realistic budget and kept me organized with her Google Drive documents so I always knew what was left to do. She also helped put together a design plan that easily allowed us to show our vendors our vision during the booking process! I felt like I could trust Allyssa from day one and I liked that she wasn't a big company that felt rushed or just there to make money with multiple hourly rates. We were able to email or text questions closer to the wedding with very fast responses without worrying about additional costs. Allyssa has a perfect demeaner between calm and collected but still able to command a room. Every person in our bridal party said she was great to work with! Even some of my guests were impressed by all of the little things she was taking care of behind the scenes. The timeline she created 1 week out was perfect; the bridesmaids were EARLY to the ceremony. I had no idea that was even possible! Allyssa truly made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. I had 0 stress on my wedding day and most of that is because Allyssa had reassured me and organized everything so perfectly. My family still talks about how we need Allyssa in our everyday lives to help keep us on track! 100% hire Allyssa, she will be the best part of your wedding day!

We used Allyssa's services for the day off but truly she was helpful well before the big day! She is so well organized and knew exactly what questions to ask to keep us all moving along smoothly. She checked in with us and really jumped right in when we got closer to the day of. She and her assistant were a available and handled any and all details throughout the day, we never worried about a thing! As far as having her help, I would HIGHLY recommend her.

Allyssa is wonderful!! She is kind, knowledgeable, organized and extremely responsive to questions and concerns. When we first started working together, Allyssa provided a list of different vendor recommendations which was a huge help in narrowing down our options. Her organization and ability to coordinate with all of our different vendors in the weeks before our wedding and especially on the day of, made things so easy and took a lot of stress and pressure off of us. Allyssa provided us with detailed schedules and timelines for the day of the wedding and made sure everything ran on time. To say Allyssa was a godsend the day of the wedding is an understatement! She was calm and took care of everything from getting things from our room down to the ceremony and reception, placing programs on the chairs and packing everything up and placing it back in our room at the end of the evening. Allyssa seemed to know what we needed even before we did! She helped us stay calm and truly allowed us to enjoy our special day! We cannot thank her or recommend her highly enough!!

Allyssa was the first “day of” event planner we contacted and by far the best.  We are so glad we chose to work with her.  She is remarkably organized, professional, and so confidently calm.  Her attention to detail and vendor management are second to none. Thank you, Allyssa, for being so wonderful and allowing us to thoroughly enjoy our daughter’s wedding worry-free and issue-free.

It’s hard to put into words how grateful I am to have had Allyssa as my wedding planner. She worked with me from the start of my planning process, making my design plan and suggesting vendors. Truthfully, I don’t know how I would have done it without her. Allyssa is meticulously organized, very communicative, and a great problem-solver. She made me feel as if I were her only client. I also felt like Allyssa took the time to really understand my husband and I as to make recommendations tailored to our tastes. Not only was the planning process with Allyssa incredibly smooth but the outcome—my wedding—went off without a hitch. I don’t know if it’s usual for a bride to receive just as many compliments on the wedding planner as they do their decor, venue, etc, but several guests came up to me that day and told me how wonderful Allyssa was. All my vendors—those who have worked with Allyssa before and those who haven’t—were saying how great she was. Allyssa- thank you so much. I’ll miss seeing your name pop up in my inbox.

Allyssa was AMAZING to work with!! I hired her as a "Day Of Coordinator", which was one of the best decisions in the wedding planning process. As soon as we got off the first call with her ~6 weeks out from the big day, I let out a HUGE sigh of relief. She is incredibly organized, efficient, helpful, and knowledgable. She took on every possible stress or issue so gracefully and professionally. She truly went above and beyond to adapt to a style of reception she wasn't as used to and pulled off a perfectly timed(!) and executed wedding. She even helped connect us to some last-minute vendors that we had previously spent months trying to hunt down! If anyone is considering hiring Allyssa I say without a doubt to do it, you will not regret it!

Hiring Allyssa Elaine Events was the best decision I made for my wedding. She is an absolute dream to work with. Allyssa’s poise, expertise, professionalism, organizational skills, ability to pivot, guidance and overall friendly demeanor was so incredible and provided me so much relief ahead of and during my wedding. Allyssa was on top of every detail as soon as she took over vendor communications 6 weeks out from the wedding. She quickly responded to all of my various questions and helped find solutions to random challenges that popped up. During the day of the wedding, Allyssa and her team were integral to ensuring everything went according to plan (or to easily adjust as needed). The bustle of my dress kept falling and Allyssa helped me pin it up so I didn’t have to worry. She and her team packed away everything in our venue and put it in our cars. I had so much confidence and trust in Allyssa and her team that I was able to focus on being present during my wedding and not on logistical details. She also provided guidance and advice to our first time officiant. You should hire Allyssa Elaine Events—it’ll be the best decision you make.

No words can describe how amazing Allyssa and her staff are. From calming me down when I was just steps away from walking down the aisle, to decorating the reception venue in a way that I couldn't even dream of, Allyssa is the very best to ever do it. She was hands down the best purchase we made for our wedding. She came on six weeks out, and made sure that my only job was to sit back, relax, and enjoy the time leading up to it, something I didn't think would even be possible! My wedding was in April, and I am still using her post-wedding resources and tips. Her organization and attention to detail is incredible. When she broke down the reception, she packed everything up so neatly, that packing up the car the next morning was so efficient and easy. She is so quick to respond. Her timelines got everyone exactly where they needed to be, when they needed to be there. My wedding day was absolutely perfect because of her. I cannot recommend her enough. Thank you for everything!! Brides, you NEED her! :)

Allyssa is fantastic. We hired her to help with the 6 weeks leading up to and including the wedding day. She was great at making sure that we had thought through everything that we'd need on the day of so that it was planned appropriately. On the day of, she assisted with setup, cleanup, and made sure that everyone was where they needed to be. The whole wedding went smoothly thanks to her assistance. Most importantly, she removed a ton of stress from my wife and let her enjoy our special day much more!

Allyssa was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding and I cannot recommend her enough! We weren't initially planning to hire a wedding planner but as we got closer we realized we definitely needed someone to help us make sure everything ran smoothly the day of. Not only did Allyssa make sure absolutely EVERYTHING ran smoothly the day of, she also took over all communications with vendors 6 weeks prior, created our day of timeline, quickly responded to my emails, and led our rehearsal. Having her relieved so much stress and my husband and I don't think we would have truly been able to enjoy our day without her. Allyssa is absolutely amazing and well worth the investment.

I cannot say enough good things about Allyssa. As the first to get married out of my friends & family, wedding planning was a huge, scary task that was overwhelming and exciting at the same time. From the beginning, Allyssa made me feel calm, prepared, and supported. Her to-do lists, recommendations, and advice guided me throughout my entire 18 month engagement. When she took over full control 6 weeks out, I felt a huge wave of relief. I'm a bit type A, and didn't even let most of my family or friends help with certain planning tasks. But I had not a single hesitation handing my wedding over to Allyssa. At our 6-week meeting, I could easily tell that she understood my vision & would do a phenomenal job bringing it to life. Then, for 6 weeks, I got to relax and enjoy the time leading up to my big day. This alone is reason enough to hire her!! On our wedding day, Allyssa was absolutely INCREDIBLE. She was attentive to everyone in our bridal party and solved every little issue that can arise on a wedding day. She directed people to where they needed to be so that the whole day ran smoothly. fShe made sure our reception was set up exactly how I envisioned, I cried tears of joy when I saw it! And when the strap of my dress broke while throwing my bouquet, Allyssa kept me calm and snuck me away to sew up my dress! Not a single person at the reception knew. I was truly able to enjoy my entire day thanks to Allyssa and her team. I cannot recommend them enough! If you are thinking about hiring anyone to help you with your wedding, Allyssa is the best of the best!!

Allyssa was absolutely amazing and we are so grateful to have had her! She took over communication with our vendors 6 weeks before our wedding, helped us make some tough decisions, decorated, and let the flow of the day moving well. We still talk about how hiring her was the best decision that we made in regards to our wedding. If anything went wrong on our wedding day, it was handled and we didn’t know about it. She truly was our advocate and we really appreciated it. We are so grateful that we were stress free the whole day, as well as our family and friends. Thank you so much Alyssa!!

Allyssa was the MVP for my entire wedding planning process. I am so happy I had her in my corner to help me every step of the way from picking vendors, making decisions, to coordinating the entire weekend. I can not recommend her enough. I am so thankful for her and all her hard work to make my wedding day special.

5 months later and we still talk about how Allyssa was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day, we are FOREVER THANKFUL. I will never forget the first meeting we had with her and you could visibly see my shoulders relax and lose their wedding planning stress as we sat and talked with her. Her impeccable organization and efficient communication left us able to be fully present and stress free on our wedding day. We would hire Allyssa over and over again!!

Hire Allyssa immediately! Our best purchase for our wedding was Allyssa which is why we've continued to refer her to newly engaged friends. I'm fairly organized, but nothing compared to the resources and answers she provides extremely quickly. Just to name a couple of things: she took over all vendor communication 6 weeks out, prepared our timeline, set up and broke down our wedding, bustled my broken dress mid-wedding, and answered my very frantic emails or texts as we had some (not her fault) hiccups. If she was a life planner, I'd hire her immediately. My new husband says: she's responsive, professional, and makes your wedding day seamless. Thank you!!

There are so many decisions on how to best use your wedding budget but I can't stress enough the value of going with Allyssa to help plan and/or coordinate your big day. From the start, Allyssa impressed me in her follow through and responsiveness. She always did what she said and was clear in her communication. I hired Alyssa to come in at 6 weeks (when I started to feel completely overwhelmed!). Her help started way before our contracted timeframe though! She sent me a folder of incredibly helpful resources to help with planning. She also was a sounding board when I needed advice or recommendations along the way. When the 6-week mark hit we spent 3 hours talking through every single detail you can imagine even things I didn't think to ask (who knew there were so many ways to fold napkins!) As a bride who wanted a few details in the ceremony to be less traditional she also helped make sure I could pull off ideas you can't just google seamlessly. My mom and I walked away from that meeting with complete peace of mind that Allyssa had everything covered. Allyssa's calm and firm demeanor kept everyone aligned throughout the day, she even got my 2-year old nephew who was about to have a melt down ready and pumped up to go down the aisle! She created a glorious minute-by-minute day of timeline (color-coded!), handled coordination with my other vendors, caught mistakes I missed, sent me gentle reminders to make sure I was on track, sheltered me from any "issues" the day of the wedding, and even set up my DIY decorations making everything look better than I could have imagined. Long story short, take it from a bride with pretty high standards :) Hire Allyssa and it will be the best decision you will make in not only making your dream day a reality, but also giving you and your loved ones the peace of mind to just sit back and enjoy it all.

The best decision we made while planning our wedding was hiring Allyssa + AEE as our wedding planner. We chose her partial planning option and design package. We could not have had a better experience. As a decently organized bride, Allyssa blew me away with her detailed and color-coordinated spreadsheets. The organization of our Google Drive allowed me to seamlessly track everything necessary for our wedding and was incredibly user-friendly. The spreadsheets made everything from creating a seating chart, figuring out tips, coordinating a timeline, and tracking our vendors, payments, and our to-do list so much easier. I actually don’t know how we would have survived without them! Allyssa created a timeline that suited our day perfectly. She had this ready for us by our 6-week-out meeting which was instrumental in the last steps of planning. By then, Allyssa took total control of communicating with vendors. Having Allyssa handle final communications with the rest of my vendors including when to show up, meals, timeline, etc. saved me so much time, hassle, and stress. The week before my wedding I had many friends and coworkers asking me specifically how stressed out I was; with Allyssa’s expertise, I got to smile back and share how relaxed and excited I felt. The weight that Allyssa lifted off my plate in the six weeks before our wedding and throughout the two years of planning made our wedding weekend that much more enjoyable. My wedding day ran smoothly, vendors were well informed, and I never had to worry about the timeline, what time it was, where I needed to be, etc. Allyssa had that all under control. Allyssa is professional and genuine. Allyssa helped design the most detailed and beautiful venue decor with us. She created signage that was inspired by our design consultation. Allyssa helped ensure our florist design matched ours perfectly. She lent us cake stands, frames, easels, and any other handy tool we needed! Since our wedding was an hour and a half away from our home, Allyssa delivered our cake, set it up, and added the final details using my florist's flowers. She set up all of our reception tables, gift + card table, bar signage, and photo booth, and I am sure I am missing more. It all came together even better than I envisioned because of her expertise. At the end of the night, she gathered our gifts and cards, gathered our details and belongings, cleaned up the venue, and had everything together for us to easily pack into our cars the next morning. What did Allyssa and her team not do? Allyssa, thank you so much for the past two years of planning the best day of our life. We owe most of it to you!! Hire AEE as your wedding planner!!! Love, Ali + Drake!

Allyssa is A++! We hired her for "Day-of-Coordination" so that after all of my planning, my husband and I could relax and enjoy the wedding day itself - mission accomplished! We felt at-ease all day knowing we were in great hands with Allyssa Elaine Events! Allyssa was by my side all weekend, from rehearsal on Friday to end of reception on Saturday. As a Type-A bride, it was priceless to have someone I trust execute my vision and manage our event so seamlessly. She took the time to learn every detail I had planned and made sure it ran smoothly. She began communicating with our vendors a few weeks before the wedding to make sure everyone was on the same page and ready to go! Allyssa was easily accessible and truly wants the best for her clients. We highly recommend her!

Hire Allyssa for your wedding! We enjoyed every minute working with Allyssa, so much so, we had to get this review in before heading off on our honeymoon. We hired Allyssa for the wedding management package, plus a few hourly consulting calls. She ALWAYS made herself available when we had questions, was quick to provide her thoughts and suggestions, and guided us throughout the process. We threw her several curveballs, like changing the ceremony location 5 months before the wedding, and she said "we're going to make whatever you want work". She thought of every detail, started all vendor communications 6 weeks out, and kept us on track with a list of to-dos and deadlines. The day of ran as smoothly as it could with my family :-). Allyssa prepared all the details for the photographer ahead of their arrival and checked in on us several times. She also handled all of the reception decorations - we gave her general ideas and the decor and she executed the most beautiful setup. She went above and beyond our expectations for the day! And we aren't the only ones that raved about her. Our families loved her and were impressed with her calm demeanor and ability to keep everyone on task. The vendors also told us several times how amazing Allyssa was to work with, her proactiveness and timelines made the day seamless for them as well.

Hiring Allyssa was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding! She took over communication with our vendors 6 weeks out from the wedding which relieved a ton of stress for us. She went above and beyond on our wedding day - even picked up ice for our coolers and tied the flower girls dress! She executed my vision perfectly with all of our decor, we got so many compliments! All of her documents that she shared with me on the google drive made it so easy to stay on top of wedding planning and left me feeling very confident that every detail was well planned out. I highly recommend hiring Allyssa as your wedding coordinator, you will definitely not be disappointed!

Allyssa was truly amazing! A weight was lifted off of our shoulders when she took over 6 weeks before the wedding. She was so well organized and kept on top of everything! The wedding day went very smooth and Allyssa kept everything on schedule. It was so nice for my mother to be able to enjoy the entire day and not have to worry about a thing. I will recommend her to all of my friends that get engaged!

Allyssa was the best wedding planner we could ask for! We especially loved her detailed coordination 6 weeks out from the big day going forward. She took over every vendor communication, had a google drive to organize contracts, balances, and any preferences we had. On the day of, she was so calm and collected, coordinated final details with all of the vendors, and was able to get us where we needed to go exactly on time. She was crucial to the success of our day and we were so happy to have chosen her!
