At Last Event Planning

le right off the bat, and approached our initial call with an upbeat, laid back attitude, and it was apparent that she was the perfect person to help keep things organized whilst still being the "zen" to my family's well...not zen. While we didn't need a full blown planner, Amy was more than willing to help with anything we needed (and there was a lot). She was available for meetings with the venue and vendors, taking the time to get to know myself and Stephen, as well as really detailed notes. The weekend of, Amy was beyond helpful with rehearsal (in the parking lot of the restaurant) and amazing the day of. She kept everyone on track, and was always ready with an answer, smile and/or words of encouragement. She organized the day flawlessly, and all of the guests who met her loved her. If you're looking for a coordinator/planner who knows how to get things done, stays positive at all times, AND keeps it mellow, Amy is your woman! I could not recommend her enough.

h. I researched a lot of planners and Amy’s Day Of Package was one of our best decisions. I felt comfortable with Amy from the beginning,I called a couple of her references and they had glowing compliments about her. We conversed over the phone, met at our venue a few months before the wedding and continued to communicate through Zoom and her great working Time line worksheet. Especially getting close to the wedding,is when I so appreciated Amy ,her professionalism & ease to work with, so many details, she took care of it all. We had to pack up some items after the wedding and besides getting them into the car Amy had taken care of it all. I was able to truly enjoy myself and not worry about anything at the rehearsal & the wedding. My daughter & I had done a good job researching & picking our vendors, but having Amy to tie up the details at the end in a beautiful bow was the best wedding present we could imagine ! Amy is the best!

when it came to what works and what doesn’t. She kept us all moving and on schedule and took care of so many behind the scenes details. Too many to mention! We REALLY love her style and taste and above all her professionalism. I would highly recommend Amy for any party or special occasion.

d we were al in the midst of Covid. But Amy handled it like a true professional, participating in Zoom calls, setting up "Zoom meetings with the other vendors and communicating on a regular basis with everyone. She is amazing. And, when it came time for me to plan the rehearsal dinner, I hired Amy to assist. Her help made a nice dinner into so much more. She was great in her suggestions, helped on the night of the event, and was so friendly with everyone. The day of the wedding was perfect and I think we owe it all to her. She works so hard and is so invested in making the experience perfect for you, but remains calm, polite and helpful the whole time. If you are thinking of hiring a wedding planner, I have two thoughts. First, do it and second, hire At Last Event Planning.

s stressful. Our wedding day was perfect, and we credited a lot of that to her.

tress. Amy anticipated problems and handled everything with grace and good humor. We literally could not have had the gorgeous wedding we had without her. She assured me that I wouldn't have to think about a thing on the day of the wedding and she was right. Thank you, Amy! We are so grateful to you!!

chase ALEP's Full Service Package. We are temporarily living in Portland, so we primarily worked with Amy long distance as she helped us plan our wedding in Cleveland. I was initially nervous about hiring a planner; I worried that the expense wouldn't be worth it. And besides, I thought, couldn't I just do it all on my own? I was laughably wrong. My husband and I both work demanding jobs, and I'm somewhat of a perfectionist. Plus I had zero idea about the amount of work (and emotional labor) that goes into planning an event for 150 people - not to mention the bridal shower, the bachelorette, etc. So, without Amy, there is no scenario in which I could have organized what ended up being a flawless fairytale ceremony (St. Paul's) and reception (Union Club). I think Amy has found her calling as a wedding planner. She has this very cool, big sister vibe that I automatically trusted. She helped me dream up my vision for the day, and then she executed it. She held my hand through all the things: the vendor meetings, the budgeting, the negotiations, the questions of etiquette, the freak outs, the to do lists. I floated in a happy cloud on my wedding day. There was no need to be stressed about anything because I knew that Amy had already figured everything out-it was freaking awesome! I'm forever grateful to Amy for helping us achieve such a magical, perfect night. We love you, ALEP! Bottom line: I would aggressively recommend ALEP to anyone looking for a pro wedding planner in NEOH.

we had. Amy made excellent suggestions throughout the process, all while keeping our interests and vision at heart. She has vast knowledge of CLE vendors and has high quality relationships with them. After moving with 5 months until the wedding, Amy made sure we knew what needed to be accomplished and set up meetings with vendors on our weekends home. Amy's excellent ability to plan allowed for a seamless and stress free Wedding Day which gave everyone the chance to celebrate and enjoy the moment!

was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and kind. Specifically, Amy was very knowledgeable about local vendors and had a great professional working relationship with vendors that we had selected which made the process fun and enjoyable for all. Also, Amy's attention to detail is unmatched! Every detail was not only considered, but well thought out. Thanks to Amy and her team our day was seamless and they were truly a joy to work with.

ecause it was so beautiful! She exceeded my every wish, and put up with me, all with a smile on her face. She worked so hard that I even saw her picking up plates to help the venue! PLEASE ask her to plan your wedding! You won't regret it.

thoughtful. Amy was a true lifesaver, and I would recommend her to any bride looking for a wedding planner!

nk about at all, they were already handled. ALE was one of those investments for the day of that you are sure was worth the money when the wedding is over!

ond to make sue our wedding was a relaxing and wonderful day! We would highly recommend Amy to any bride!

g and may not be verbalizing) to make sure your day is exactly what you imagined! Her knowledge of Cleveland vendors was so helpful as she had suggestions and contacts to execute any and all ideas and made us feel confident with our choices. Amy's vast experience in wedding planning also helped us structure our day efficiently and with Amy behind-the-scenes we knew it would all run smoothly. The day of the wedding, the small details Amy executed made all the difference! From making sure everyone was ready for the big moments to ensuring we saw the room before guests to providing samples of the cocktail appetizers to making sure we had a chance to say goodbye to our parents at our send-off, Amy made a HUGE contribution to the success of our wedding! We can't say thank you enough!!

ful since we were planning a wedding from so far away! She set up calls for us to talk to and meet each vendor and was just a call/text away every time we had a question. She even drove around Cleveland with us when we were in town for the holidays to pick out linens, chairs and table settings. On our wedding day, Amy coordinated everything flawlessly. We had absolutely nothing to worry about. Amy and her team made sure everything looked beautiful, the vendors were setup and all of the personal touches we asked for were executed. Our family and friends were blown away by such a beautiful wedding that we definitely have Amy to thank for! Throughout the whole process, she gave us wonderful ideas and honest opinions. She was always available to chat, help, run an errand and make sure we were on track. You're in good hands with Amy!

y did. During the planning, she was always there to answer e-mails and phone calls promptly, easing the well known anxiety brides experience before their big day. On the day of the wedding, she truly went above and beyond. We had a family emergency during the wedding, and she was able to seamlessly handle the situation without anyone noticing. After the wedding, all of my family members raved about how impressed they were with the work Amy exhibited on our wedding weekend. Not only did she deliver prior to the wedding, the weekend of the wedding, but she made sure to stay in touch with me after the wedding to make sure I had taken care of all of the payments to the vendors (something I would have easily forgotten about). Not only does Amy excel at her job, but she is fun, artistic, and a joy to work with. I could not have planned my wedding without her assistance and guidance.

experience and great working relationships with various Cleveland vendors helps makes coordinating much easier. She thinks of so many details that we would have never thought, but are important to help the day move as smoothly as possible. We enjoyed all her professional and personal attention!!!

ings went wrong because Amy was on top of providing a solution and keeping me, my husband, bridal party, and families at ease. Very "go-with-the-flow" and knew each and every vendor seeing as she is a well-seasoned veteran in the wedding planning world. A definite "must" for your big day! LOVE Amy Hissa!

knows everyone! I was married at the Botanical Gardens, my Husband and I chose to have a pre-ceremony celebration and they gave us a little push back but Amy had a private meeting with them and then they loved the idea. She was key in helping us make decisions and solving disagreements between us (My Husband was a Groomzilla!). She was even able to deal with all of the Grooms demands and there were many. She is hard working and extremely dedicated to her bride and groom. She made our wedding an unbelievable experience for EVERYONE! Worth far more then she charges. I didn't have any problems. I could on forever I will just end by saying if you use At Last Event Planning You will be pleasantly surprised.

anners, but we both just clicked really well with Amy. Her laid back personality balanced out our high strung personalities. She was beyond helpful throughout the entire planning process. She always got back to us immediately and there was not a question she could not answer. On our wedding day, she was everywhere solving every problem and making everything perfect. At one point my mom's false lashes fell off ruining her makeup but Amy fixed it beautifully. My dress needed to be bustled and no one was around but came out of nowhere and did it for me. She even arranged for my husband and I to each have a signature cocktail and some hors d'oeuvres waiting for us right after the ceremony because she knew we'd want a few minutes alone. She had cupcakes delivered to the limo driver and up to our hotel room since we did not get to have any at the wedding. She stayed forever after the wedding with her team making sure every last item was packed up into my parent's van. I'm telling you there is nothing Amy did not do. As I mentioned earlier, my husband and I are not the easiest going people, but Amy always stayed patient and kind. She has truly become a friend and I cannot recommend her enough!

knowing that I could relax and enjoy the day without having to worry about any details!

possible and then made all of those things happen. I would recommend At Last Eventplannkng to everyone and anyone!!

re when I needed her. She went above and beyond to make my wedding day perfect. Hands down the best wedding planner you can ask for.

g the day of the wedding made it so easy to just relax and enjoy the day! I would highly recommend her and Heidi for your wedding, you will be glad you did!!

all, it was so fun to work with At Last Event Planning. They made everything fun and enjoyable! Then, I don't know what we would have done without them on the day of the wedding. Things that we never thought about, they handled. My advice to my friends/family who are engaged is to get a wedding planner (and ALEP if in Cleveland)!!! Amy & her crew will take care of you and do so with a big smile on their face!!!

g their day, instead of running around handling problems, etc. and Amy ensured that they had the best night of their lives. She kept my bridal party in control, the band on time, and everyone cheerful. I will 100% recommend Amy Hissa to any future brides out there!

e Bride and Groom and your guests. She is very easy to work with, so friendly and very professional . She is prompt to respond to emails or phone calls, she troubleshoots problems easily, she communicates well, she is well respected in the “wedding planning circle” and it is obvious that she loves her job! We also used a couple of her recommended vendors and were very happy with them. We highly recommend her to anyone getting married in the Cleveland area. She made the wedding day such a joy because she took care of all the "day of "details. Hire her! You will not be disappointed.

ovided helpful vendor referrals and really helped to make my vision come to life. Our special day could not have been more perfect, and we have Amy and Heidi to thank! The week before our wedding, Amy made sure everything was taken care of so that my family and I could simply enjoy this special time. The day of, I did not have to worry about a single thing. At Last is the absolute best and I would recommend Amy and Heidi to anybody!

lp us throughout the whole planning process! Amy was alway so quick to respond and incredibly helpful in finding vendors within in our budget. On the day of the wedding, Amy and Heidi were fabulous!! They were very organized and helped to keep everything running smoothly. One thing that I loved about Amy was how laid back she was, even in some of the more "stressful" moments. She was just so easy going while dealing with the many personalities and opinions that come with wedding planning! I loved working with her and definitely will recommend her in the future!!

one without her! She helped with planning - a few big things were doing welcome bags, printing menus, programs, etc., calling transportation companies, to say the least. The weekend of the wedding, Amy was absolutely irreplacable. A few of the millions of things she did for us: reined in our wedding party of 20 people, kept things moving, talked to all vendors, tipped them, went out to get more alcohol TWO times when we ran out, helped with timing, bustled my dress, etc etc etc. I honestly have NO idea what I would have done without Amy and Heidi to help us out.. my husband and I were so happy with them, and I would highly recommend Amy and her services to any bride. She's amazing! She's crafty, so responsive (like within seconds she emails you back), knowledgeable, thrifty, and fun! I promise you will not regret having Amy as your wedding planner... she allowed me to enjoy the weekend without any stress, because I knew she had everything under control!

time but enlisting the help of Amy allowed it to be a positive and enjoyable experience. She would be an asset to anyone who choose to work with her.

he was easy to talk to, energetic and supportive. She not only made our ideas a reality, but enhanced them with thoughtful suggestions. I was won over early on into the planning process when she set up shared google spreadsheets for our guest list, budget, and timeline. Since we were out of town, Amy set up a day of vendor viewing for us. We came to Cleveland for a weekend and spent the whole Saturday visiting bakeries, florists, and photographers. Once we had our vendors, Amy set reminders for payments and arranged follow up phone calls whenever we had questions. Day of, Amy and Heidi kept everything running smoothly. The ceremony was beautiful, the reception spot on, and everyone had a great time. At one point, the fire alarm went off in the middle of our reception. Amy stopped what she was doing and rushed to figure out what was going on. Soon after, the alarm went off and the night was saved!!!!! Amy and Heidi also suggested a late night snack for our guests as they took the shuttle back to the hotel. We got a bunch of pizzas and ended the night with full stomachs and lots of great memories. I'm so happy we used At Last Event Planning to help us plan our wedding and make it everything we had hoped for. Thank you Amy for your hard work and amazing organizational skills! I will recommend you to every bride I know of in the Cleveland area!

our ceremony and keep things running smoothly, and they absolutely did! I didn't have to worry about a single detail on our wedding day, and I am so grateful for that. We were able to relax and enjoy our day knowing everything was taken care of. They were also incredibly helpful with asking questions (many of which I hadn't thought of!) so it ensured all bases were covered. Their services were priced affordably and were absolutely worth it. I would hire them again in a heartbeat!

rdens and then had our reception at a restaurant in Ohio City. We used Amy's day of services because there was no one at the garden to assistance with the ceremony and the restaurant, while has done weddings in the past, doesn't specialize in them. I typically have a type "A" personality but wanted to be able to relax on my wedding day but with picking venue spaces that were a little different I knew I would need someone to allow me and my fiance to relax and enjoy this special day. Amy was perfect from start to finish. Along the way she gave great recommendations and once we got closer to the wedding she handheld all the last minute back and forth with any vendors. We got married on a Sunday and I worked up to that Friday... while at work Friday I emailed Amy in a bit of a panic with a couple of items that were still outstanding on my end, Amy emailed back within 30 minutes letting me know everything was taken care of. This is how she was the entire time. I felt completely at ease and had full trust that Amy would (and did) take care of anything that came up. When people ask how our wedding was all I can say is it as perfect because I didn't have to worry about a thing and we truly got to enjoy our day. At the end of the day my husband, in-laws, and myself all agreed that Amy was the best thing we decided to go with. I couldn't recommend her enough!

t." Amy was a true gem to work with! My then-fiance and I spoke with a couple other vendors from Cleveland at the beginning of our wedding planning process and I truly felt like Amy and I "clicked." She has a great personality and a can-do attitude. Every idea (or whim of an idea) that we threw at her -- she followed up on and was able to execute. I also felt like she was very realistic with our budget from early on. I had spoken to a couple other planners who had assured me that $110/guest was possible to achieve, but after speaking to many different venues, I realized that Amy's budget was much more accurate. I am not very creative or artistic so having my planner help with the "design" process was also crucial. She helped us coordinate with a local designer to design almost everything and our save the dates, invitations, wedding programs, welcome notes (and out of town gift bags!) were beautiful. She was also very responsive by emails and text 7 days a week. Whenever my fiance and I had differing views on something wedding-related, we would say "Let's ask Amy" and always went with what she suggested. I am not from Ohio and Amy suggested almost all of our vendors for us. This saved me SO much time from having to look up different vendors to speak with and interview. Amy also helped coordinate details between all of our vendors and that also saved us time. Amy has been in the business a LONG time and every vendor we worked with respected her and were super nice to us as well. All of this being said, Amy really shined on our wedding day and everything went perfectly. She thought of so many details and took care of keeping things on schedule and keeping track of where everything and everyone was. Even when minor issues came up, Amy always stepped in calm and collected and helped us solve it. Please don't underestimate the importance of this -- I've had friends with frazzled wedding planners on their big day and it was not reassuring. I honestly could not imagine planning my wedding without Amy and would recommend her with no reservations.

about weddings or planning or venues etc. We heard about Amy through a few friends and at first I was skeptical about spending money on a planner. Let me tell you, it was money well spent! The investment almost instantly paid for itself once we booked a hall and few other details. She kept everything organized and most importantly she kept my wife call throughout the entire process while we planned a wedding from 13 hours away. The wedding process is fun and exciting but it is also extremely stressful and Amy made it fun for my wife. We cannot thank her enough and like I said I don't know how we could have done it without her help. Her attention to detail is unbelievable and if you don't believe me just ask for some of our pictures of the wedding and venue. Thanks Amy. Great job. Give her a call, it is worth a shot. We didn't have a huge budget and like I said, it paid for itself quickly.

rgetic and she came through in a thousand extra ways! I forgot a few things like picking up 4 vegan/GF cupcakes that I needed and she was like "on it!" Amy and her assistant were awesome at wrangling our vendors and guests and making sure that we truly had the perfect day! It your looking for a stress free wedding HIRE THIS WOMEN!! I dont think I can thank her enough for everything she helped out with at our wedding, she is an awesome problem solver. Thanks again Amy!

ings with vendors. She was always available by phone to discuss any questions. The best part was her day of service. I didn't have to worry about a thing. I don't know how I could of done it with out her!!

as very conscious of the fact that I wanted to stay on budget (not something I felt with the other planners I spoke with). Because my parents were paying for the wedding, I wanted to be very diligent about not overspending. Knowing Amy had planned some very high-end receptions, likely with much larger budgets than mine, I was a bit worried. However, Amy was perfect about making recommendations, but not pushing me one way or another, getting multiple vendor quotes, and stepping in to negotiate my package with the venue. Amy was so great at helping create my vision for the reception - fun and modern - and at providing her perspective when I couldn't make a decision. Also, living in New Jersey, but having a Cleveland reception, Amy made things so much easier when planning from a distance, and also was fantastic at engaging my mom in Cleveland, to come and join her for meetings or walk-throughs. The day of the wedding, Amy's team took care of ensuring everything was setup and perfect upon our arrival, so there was absolutely nothing to stress about. Having been through this experience, I would never ever plan a wedding without an event planner, and would choose Amy again in a heartbeat! You don't realize how many decisions there are to make, and it is great to have an expert there to guide you.

oney, but my mom insisted we hire one and mom was right, as always! We hired Amy Hissa as a day of coordinator and she was worth every penny. There were several situations that came up with my dress throughout the day that she took care of. My zipper ripped right before the ceremony and she kept me calm while fixing the dress. Then a bird pooped on my dress during photos! Amy treated the stain and quickly came up with a solution to hide it. Throughout the day she made sure everything and everyone was where they needed to be. She also went out of her way to make sure my husband and I were happy, had a drink in hand, ate something, and were having a good time. Overall, the best part about working with Amy was her bright and bubbly personality. On your wedding day it's important to work with someone who will make you smile.

o work with. She has great ideas, listens to what you want, and delivers! She took care of everything the wedding day. Everything went so smoothly and it was so beautiful. She even had time to pop over during every event to make sure I had a drink in my hand and food on my table at all times. Hands down, the best money we spent was hiring her.

red her valuable insights regarding selecting and working with our other vendors. Amy is both personable and detail oriented - she did a fantastic job helping us finalize details in the days leading up to our wedding and, on our wedding day, making sure that everything went smoothly and that we had the most wonderful and stress-free day possible. We highly recommend Amy and At Last Event Planning!

ent Planning as our day of coordinator was by far the BEST SPENT MONEY IN OUR WEDDING! Seriously, Amy is phenomenal! From the first time I spoke with her on the phone I knew she was just perfect for our wedding. Her calm, professional, laid back personality was exactly what I needed. She is willing and capable to tackle any wedding task. We had a wedding where everything had to be brought into our venue and set up…and I mean everything…down to each and every piece of silverware and glass. We hired an enormous amount of different vendors to provide every service and every rental item we needed. I also brought my own mismatched vintage china place setting for 100 guests. Amy took care of all of it. About two weeks before the wedding Amy took over; she called all of the vendors and coordinated all of the deliveries and arrival times for us and confirmed everything with everyone (trust me, this isn’t something you want to be doing by yourself the week of your wedding). She created a day of schedule for each and every vendor as well as for me and my bridal party. At the rehearsal Amy handled all of the participants (which was no easy task…I have a large family) and made everything clear and easy for everyone. A few days before the wedding we handed over all of our décor items to Amy. It was so easy! We just handed them over to her and that was it! She took care of them from there. The day of the wedding she and her assistant came super early to the venue and set everything up. I had no idea of where I wanted most of the decoration items to go, and Amy set up everything so beautifully, I was amazed. She has an amazing design aesthetic. She took boxes of jumbled decorations and turned our wedding into the most beautiful vintage garden you can imagine. I just explained my vision and everything was set out perfectly. The day of the wedding my family and I just got to sit back, enjoy and most importantly relax. Amy supervised all of the vendors and made sure that everything went smooth. I don’t know what I would have done without her. The ceremony and reception went so wonderfully. Nothing was missed. One of my favorite moments of the wedding I owe completely to Amy. Right after the ceremony Amy came over and grabbed my husband I and snuck us away to see the reception area in private while the guests were at cocktail hour. She had cocktails waiting for us and those few private minutes my husband and I spent in amazement basking in the beauty of the space created for us, enjoying the first few minutes of being husband and wife was priceless. After the reception was over, Amy took care of the entire cleanup and packed up all of our personal items and put them in my parent’s car for us. We had the most amazing day possible, truly a magical wedding experience, and I have to credit Amy and At Last Event Planning for making that possible for us.

ner, golf outing and rehearsal dinner. Amy, the President of At Last took care of EVERY detail. Amy drove me to several ideal spots for the rehearsal dinner. Amy organized flowers, hair/makeup/photographer/several car/limo services/airport pickups,guitar player,video/goodie bags for golf tourney/dress pressing/wine selections/dessert cart.....We hosted an "After party" at the hotel with Amy handing out wrist bands at midnight with a smile on her face. She is fantastic,calm,pleasant and very well connected for any event. We chose all of Amy's vendors, because they were outstanding from the beginning.We hope others will realize how wonderful Amy is by writing this review. No detail is too small or too big for Amy.

roblems. Highly recommend using At Last!
