Amy Hissa with At Last Event Planning was nothing short of amazing! As the mother of the bride, with the bride and groom out of town, I knew I needed someone who could guide us in the planning. She did way more than that! She knows every vendor in town and has great relationships, so she was able to point out pros and cons and help us manage every detail. She met with us from day one to look at venues, and then was with us every single step of the way - even rearranging all of the vendors to find a date that worked when we had to postpone because of the pandemic. My daughter and her fiancé loved her, and trusted her to be honest and direct in helping them plan their dream weekend. Plus, I knew she was an extra ear for my daughter when an impartial opinion was needed. She was able to articulate any issues - helping design the invitations, programs and other printed items (with vendors we chose and others she had relationships with), clarifying for the florist when the samples weren’t quite what my daughter imagined, and helping us refine the schedule of the day/evening. She was calm and in control, reminding me that she had solutions for every “what if” situation I could dream up! Her attention to detail was remarkable, even making last minute decisions about lighting anticipating what would look best. Amy was looking out for us every minute the day of the wedding - dealing with the valet team at the hotel, working with the hotel staff to assure seamless transitions, checking in on the bride and groom, making sure everyone was fed and hydrated. No detail was too small. In addition, Amy knows the ins and outs of a Jewish wedding (very important to us) and made sure nothing was overlooked - from having enough seats for the Ketubah ceremony to making sure the platform under the chuppah was big enough for the bride to circle the groom - and double checking on the wine and the glass to break at the end. We loved working with her and have recommended her to others with no reservation- she was fabulous.
I hired Amy so that I could stress as little as possible on my big day. That is exactly what she helped with! I did not worry if things were being setup right. And if there were any issues that happened on the day….I had no idea! She also had drinks and appetizers ready for us while we got a sneak peak of the reception venue. That was such a nice added touch! Thanks for everything Amy!
Great Planner! She helped me out tremendously with the day of planning and coordinating for my wedding!!
Best planner in town who made the most thoughtful recommendations and put us at ease during what is normally a very stressful time!
Thank you for your knowledge, genuine kindness and being a joy to work with.
Thank you for sharing all you know to help us succeed.
Thank you for helping keep our vision running seamlessly and being our go to guru for the night.
You being there exceeded our expectations.
Looking forward to many more celebrations with you.
When we started the search for a day of coordinator, it quickly became clear that we would need much more help than someone to just "show up" the day of. Cue, Amy. Amy was personable 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.
When the decision was made to have our daughter’s wedding in Cleveland,as opposed to our hometown,I knew I was going to need a guiding force and someone I/ we felt comfortable with. 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!
Our wedding and everything about it would never have happened without Amy’s knowledge, guidance, organization, and spirit! She was so helpful to us with recommendations especially 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.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Amy. She was hired by my now daughter and her mother to plan the wedding. Everyone was in different cities when the planning started and 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.
Amy is AMAZING!!! We purchased the entire package, and Amy executed our vision beautifully. Amy is fun to work with, flexible, and very professional, and made the whole process less stressful. Our wedding day was perfect, and we credited a lot of that to her.
Amy is simply the best. She's flexible and will do as much or as little as you need her to do. Because of Amy, my daughter and I sailed through wedding planning with virtually no stress. 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!!
Hiring Amy Hissa (the owner of At Last Event Planning (ALEP)) is the best decision we made! My husband and I met Amy a year before we were married this past June and decided to purchase 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.
Wow! We had a wonderful planning experience with Amy at At Last Event Planning. She was incredibly knowledgable, professional and readily available to answer any and all questions 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!
Amy and her staff provided day-of planning services for our wedding and it was one of the best wedding-related decisions that I made. Everyone affiliated with At Last Even Planning 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.
Wow! Amy did an amazing job in the few short months she had to plan my wedding! I'm a control freak (trying to quit) and when I walked into the winery, I nearly burst into tears because 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.
Amy was an absolute dream to work with! Her attention to detail from beginning to end allowed me to enjoy every step of the process. She is responsive, proactive, professional, and thoughtful. Amy was a true lifesaver, and I would recommend her to any bride looking for a wedding planner!
Amy made us feel like we knew what we actually knew what we were doing when it came to wedding planning! ESPECIALLY day of, so many small things pop'd up that we didn't have to think 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!
Amy was amazing as our day of coordinator. She was very helpful and no detail of the wedding was left untouched. She had everything handled and organized. Amy went above and beyond to make sue our wedding was a relaxing and wonderful day! We would highly recommend Amy to any bride!
Amy at At Last Event Planning was amazing to work with! She's extremely trustworthy and really listens to what you're saying (and is often even able to tune into what you're feeling 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!!
I couldn't imagine our big day without Amy's help! We moved to San Francisco, but were planning a wedding in Cleveland. Amy's recommendations for vendors were fabulous and so helpful 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!
First, Amy is AMAZING!!!!! If it wasn't for Amy, our wedding would not have flowed as beautifully as it did on our wedding day. I cannot rave enough about how WONDERFUL of a job Amy 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.
We absolutely loved working with Amy from At Last Event Planning! She really put us at ease throughout the whole wedding planning process, and kept the day flowing beautifully! Her 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!!!
Amy was by far one of the best decisions I made on my wedding day (besides saying "I do" to my now husband)! The day went seamlessly under Amy's supervision-- I had no clue when things 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!
Amy was nothing short of amazing! In the beginning I thought she was expensive and I could probably do it on my own. After our first meeting I knew I had made the right choice. She 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.
I love Amy. She's the best simple as that. My husband and I live in Florida but our wedding was in Cleveland, Ohio so we knew we needed some serious help. We interviewed several planners, 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!
We hired Heidi for the "day of" wedding coordinator. She put together a timeline and coordinated with each of our vendors to ensure the day/night ran smoothly. It was such a relief knowing that I could relax and enjoy the day without having to worry about any details!
Amy's service and expertise made the wedding planning process stress free and fun! She always had helpful advice, ideas and contact information. She made me feel like anything was possible and then made all of those things happen. I would recommend At Last Eventplannkng to everyone and anyone!!
Amy and her team are fantastic! They took a boring country club and turned it into a dream wedding for me. My wedding day ran smoothly everything was on time and Amy was always there 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.
Amy was so quick to respond to any of my emails, and she had great ideas and feedback to my suggestions! Her timeline was spot on, and knowing that she would take care of everything 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!!
This was, by far, the best investment we made in our wedding. You figure you spend so much on the wedding, for a bit more you and your family should be able to enjoy it. First of 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!!!
Hiring Amy was the best decision we ever made! She was completely competent, knowledgeable, versatile, and wonderful. As a bride, I wanted to make sure that my parents were enjoying 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!
We hired Amy Hissa at At Last Event Planning for the “day of” wedding coordinator and she was amazing. She takes care of every last minute detail, so you can enjoy the day with the 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.
Hiring Amy was hands down the best decision we made…was definitely worth every penny! Amy is fun, professional, and organized and takes the stress out of wedding planning. She provided 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!
Choosing Amy to help us with the wedding was one of the best choices we made! We hired her as a "day of coordinator" but she went above and beyond those duties and was there to help 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!!
Amy helped out with my wedding on September 26, 2015 at Club at Hillbrook. To sum up Amy quickly, I would tell all brides that she is AMAZING and I have no idea what I would have done 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!
Amy was very helpful to us in the wedding planning process. She and her team are very professional and did a wonderful job of keeping us on task. A wedding can be a very stressful 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.
Best. Decision. Ever.
Living in Chicago and planning a wedding in Cleveland didn't sound like a fun task, so we enlisted the help of Amy to work with us from start to finish. She 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!
Amy and Casey were wonderful to work with. They were both very attentive and detail-oriented through our meetings and correspondence. We used their day-of planning services to run 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!
I'm not even sure where to begin... Amy was beyond amazing and more worthwhile than I ever would have expected. We got married September 6, 2015 at one of the Cleveland Cultural Gardens 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!
My husband and I were married on May 2, 2015. We both live in New York and have pretty busy professional lives, so hiring a planner to help plan our wedding in Cleveland was a "must." 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.
My wife and I were married on NYE in downtown Cleveland. It was an unbelievable night and everything was perfect. My wife and I currently live in Atlanta, GA and I didn't know much 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.
Amy Hissa is a miracle worker! We hired her for Day-Of coordination and it was the smartest thing we did for the wedding! She was great to with with before the wedding, fun and energetic 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!
Amy Hissa was a wonderful wedding coordinator. I was an out of town bride planning my wedding in Cleveland from St. Louis. Amy was so helpful with selecting and coordinating meetings 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!!
Amy from At Last Event Planning was absolutely fantastic. I spoke with a few event planners before selecting Amy, as I felt like she really understood what I was looking for, and was 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.
I would highly recommend hiring Amy Hissa with At Last Event Planning. At first, I was hesitant about hiring a wedding planner because I thought we didn't need one and could save money, 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.
Amy Hissa was the best part of my wedding. She was incredibly flexible, knew when to step in, knew when to step back, and was a step ahead the entire way. She is so sweet and fun to 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.
It was such a pleasure working with Amy Hissa of At Last Event Planning. She has excellent knowledge of the NE Ohio event planning industry and, as we planned our wedding, she shared 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!
For all of the brides out there that are on the fence about hiring a wedding coordinator. I just have one question for you…how much is your sanity worth? Hiring Amy from At Last Event 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.
We do not live in the same state where our son's wedding was going to take place. We had several events to organize for our out of town friends and family. Including a family dinner, 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.
Using At Last Event Planning made my wedding day stress free. Amy took care of all the details and went above and beyond my expectations. Everything went smoothly and we had no problems. Highly recommend using At Last!
I used ALEP because I felt really overwhelmed with the decoration aspect of our wedding. We didn't marry in a church and I really wanted a specific romantic look for our day. I contacted ALEP and was immediately put in contact with Trisha. She is the best! I cant say enough about her. She was there from step 1 all the way to the very end of the reception. She helped "pull it all together" and create the best day ever for us. Trisha is so organized and listened to every single thing we wanted and didn't want,and made everything happen seamlessly. We couldn't have done this without her. Every gal should have a Trisha !! I work full time and she handled all the messy details I just couldn't do on my own. My husband and I are beyond grateful for Trisha and her expertise. She is a great person to work with, and now a friend.
I am so pleased with all her help !!! Thank you Thank you Thank you Trisha for everything!!!!!!!!
love, Bonnie
I had At Last do Day of Coordination for our wedding. From the moment I met Tricia, I knew I would have no worries the day of our wedding, she completely understood everything I planning and made it happen! She was very professional, knowledgeable and had a solution for everything. The groom loved her too! I will recommend her over and over again!
Very professional and friendly
We worked with Trisha and she was fantastic! She did so much running around and making phone calls on top of helping us come up with ideas for the look and feel of the entire day. Not to mention she put up with my indecisiveness! I don't know what we would have done without her!
Trisha was awesome! I didn't have to worry about a thing on my wedding day. She made sure everything went as smoothly as humanly possible. I am so glad I decided to hire Trisha. I was so stressed trying to plan my wedding. As soon as I talked to her, all the weight was lifted off of my shoulders.
As soon as we got engaged I knew one of the first people I had to call was Amy of At Last after she did such a wonderful job with two of my cousin's weddings. From the first phone call, she was such a pleasure to work with, and was always knowledgeable and helpful. She helped with every detail and made our day absolutely perfect. Simply the best planner in Cleveland, we love her and I recommend her to every girl who tells me she is planning a wedding!
Hiring Amy for our day of coordinator was the best decision we made. She was fantastic! Her laid back, positive personality made her so easy to work with and kept me calm while at the same time she was like a magician at getting things done in the short time span we had. She took care of everything and made the day so easy for us. Highly recommend!!
Amy is awesome! I had my vendors lined up, but Amy really helped me bring it all together. She has great contacts, ideas, and really makes the day stress free for the bride. If something did go wrong, I never knew about it! Her upbeat personality makes working with her a ton of fun. She does what she says she's going to do on time and within budget. I would not hesitate to recommend Amy to any bride looking for help from day one or just on your big day. You won't be disappointed!
Amy and her At Last staff were amazing. Amy was on top of every detail and made sure that we didn't have a worry in the world. Hiring At Last Event Planning was the best money we spent. She took all the stress out of our wedding day and everyday for months leading up to the wedding!
Amy was absolutely wonderful! She was prompt, friendly, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. Amy made everything so easy! She is highly recommended - will make your wedding day perfect!
