AWEvents

! She is a great person also! Thank you so much Ali! We appreciate you 🖤

n wedding in Aspen, until the follow up discussions after the wedding, ALI has been more than we could of ever imagine in a Wedding Coordinator/Event Planner! She is know a part of our family forever and will always have a special place in our hearts! She pulled off an unbelievable Wedding for our families, along with assisting with every aspect of vendors, hotels, transportation, meals, day of events hair & make up, musicians, floral, décor, videographer, photographer, marriage license, invitations, reception sittings, honeymoon night, band, rentals for all events. She also assisted in the Destination Rehearsal Dinner, which was phenomenal!! Still talking about the amazing evening and food!! The consensus of everyone involved in Wedding and especially the Bride & Groom is that the entire event was nothing less than MAGICAL! We give God and Ali the credit for this incredible experience! I only wish I could plan another Wedding with her at the helm of the ship leading the way! We love her as our own!!!

he was able to navigate us through many of the decisions we had to make based on many experiences she has had in the past. She also is a wonderful communicator. She listens well, provides options with a clear understanding of what comes with each option and based on her experience what options prove to be more important than others. We found Ali to be punctual, organized and patient but also diligent when she was waiting on us to make decisions. Ali's relationships with her vendors also proved to be a value we didn't completely foresee in the beginning. Because of her vendor relationships she was able to maximize our value and also provide us with unique aspects of the wedding we wouldn't have had otherwise. On the day of the wedding it was clear Ali had things lined up well and was clearly in charge of the entire event from the sound at the ceremony to the last dance for the couple. There were a few things that happened out of her control but she managed them quickly, quietly and efficiently without notice of anyone who wasn't involved. The beauty of all of this is that Ali does everything with a smile and a cheer in her voice. She brings a sense of calm, peace and joy to the process of planning and the execution of the wedding which was a gift to all involved. There are no reservations whatsoever in recommending Ali and AWEvents to help plan, coordinate and execute your special event.

ways there to help direct us…down to the last detail. The wedding was everything my daughter and her now husband could have ever imagined and more…it was perfect! I am so thankful we had AWEvents during the whole process. Ali is truly a gem and now more than our wedding planner… I will always think of her as a friend.

and honest with vendors and always has everyone best interest at heart and is such a hard worker. I wish I could be hired to film every wedding with Ali, I could not recommend her more.

r team(s) to make sure that every aspect of the timeline followed and executed flawlessly. Her leadership through an event makes everyone strive for excellence, and her client's happiness is always her main focus, which shows in all the best ways! I love referring Ali to potential clients because her knowledge of the hospitality industry is unparallel and definitely stays current with trends. Her advice/problem solving is approached logically, thoughtfully and with the best intentions. Her direction and guidance is clear and the vendor teams are so responsive to her leadership when changes may arise. It's safe to say that the standard and expectation that she holds herself and her team to is nothing but professional and excellence. As a vendor, I myself, recommend her to clients regularly. Give AW Events a call and ask for Ali. You will be so happy that you did!

in 8 short weeks. AW Events had all the resources and relationships with key vendors who worked together to create exactly what we had envisioned. They negotiated the contract terms and helped us in areas that we did not even know we needed help with. The planning process was smooth, stress free and most importantly professional. We loved working with AW Events and highly recommend them for anyone planning any type of event! Thanks for all you did Ali & the team at AW Events...we so appreciate you!

uch appreciated. She even reprinted our seating cards, the morning of the wedding bc there were so many table changes bc of cancellations. Sh is professional and very knowledgeable and we felt like best friends by wedding weekend.

s etc. ensures that your wedding will be everything you dreamed of and more. They are incredibly easy to work with, always available to talk, answer questions, and brainstorm. I wish I could plan the wedding all over again, just to work with Ali and AWEvents everyday. We have so much gratitude for AWEvents, and recommend them to anyone who is looking for a wedding/event planner.

e grateful that we found each other. I am a girl who likes to select pretty things online but has no idea how to put them together and Ali, takes my ideas, and makes them 1000x greater than I could have ever imagined. She has such a great reputation here in Colorado and has developed great connections which turned into some pretty great recommendations for vendors. She's communicative, on her A-game at all times, and did not need any instruction on how to tie up my French bustle 😂. I not only scored a A+ wedding planner but a friend! Thank you so much Ali!!!

, as well as the entire day of, than Ali. Her willingness to remove all doubt, concern, stress, and nerves are what sets her in the echelon of the purely perfect. I was hesitant to hire a wedding planner, simply because I prefer to handle anything and everything that I need to. From the beginning, Ali made us comfortable and relaxed with her calm and composed attitude while still maintaining the most focused “I’ve got this” mindset. Throughout the weeks leading up to the wedding Ali was our rock, our guide, our saving grace. Her composure and ease of taking the reigns speaks volumes of her level of professionalism as well as how grandiose an event she can truly handle. When it came to the day of, I couldn’t have been happier to see her face first when I arrived to the venue. Knowing that she had seen wife before the event and gathered her things, set up all of our decor, and still had time to fill made us ebullient. From before the ceremony began, when she was there to calm our nerves and talk with us, until after the reception, where she helped pack up the car and saw us on our way, Ali never missed a beat. If AW Events isn’t who you hire for your wedding or event, you’re making a grave mistake.

e we had to switch planners mid-way through planning. For the most part, we had a lot of the big things already done in terms of planning, but we wanted to have someone help us for the last few months for coordination leading up to the big day, communicating with vendors and the small details with day-of with logistics. I cannot say enough good things about her. SHE BLEW US AWAY!! From the moment we met her, we felt comfortable and at ease. Amidst planning for a small and safe wedding with just family and close friends during COVID, which was stressful enough in itself, she was able to harness our vision (which was admittedly shifting daily) and still gave us the COVID version of exactly the wedding we wanted - it was even better than I could have imagined. She's extremely personable, kind, caring and thoughtful towards all aspects and decisions. If she knows that you care about something a lot, she'll put extra thought and energy into that WITH you. If she knows that it's less of an important decision for you, she'll just take care of it. She's highly communicative, without being overwhelming and will make you laugh and relax along the way of what can be a stressful journey of planning a wedding. We would recommend her to anyone looking for someone who is thoughtful, considerate, compassionate and understanding of everyone she works with. She has widespread knowledge of the industry and is extremely well organized. I was genuinely impressed with her and even though we had a short time together to plan and figure out the final details, she crushed it!! We were SO SO lucky to have had her help and cannot recommend her enough!!

conversation which made me feel so relaxed, trusting and confident in her! She is extremely on top of it and made wedding planning (during COVID) a breeze! Like I said, hiring Ali was the BEST decision and my wedding would not have been the same without her! Thank you so much for everything Ali 😍

ou and your talents. You constantly come up new ideas. Your weddings are unique. Thank you Two Step Total Transportation.

d. Thank you Ali

ng COVID. Everything exceeded our expectations and Ali worked so hard to make everything beautiful.

g and as soon as we started working with her, I felt a weight lifted off my shoulders. Just like previous reviews here, she is more than a planner, she's a friend! She has great suggestions (I was not at all experienced with weddings let alone planning one). I love the way she works as well, she is very hardworking! Ali was our life saver on our wedding day. She did exactly what she said she was going to do which was make sure our day went smoothly... and it did! As someone who is crazy about control and making sure things go right, I felt so comfortable with letting all that go knowing I had her there. It truly was every we wished it would be and we got to enjoy ourselves! I would HIGHLY recommend her, you won't regret it!

tress-free if we had not had Ali working with us. She was so on-the-ball with coordinating with our vendors, and she knows weddings EXTREMELY well. She'll tell you what you need to hear -- not want to hear -- to make your day go as perfectly as possible. Further, she's just all around a great human being (outside of being a killer wedding planner) so she's really easy and great to work with. We couldn't recommend her more. If there were more stars to give, we definitely would, as she's earned them!

r team of vendors were the best! Ali’s professionalism and willing to go above and beyond eased the stressed and made the day of the wedding so much more enjoyable!

g all the vendors and we ended up with flawless execution. She went above and beyond and our day was perfect thanks to her!

cause of Ali, planning our wedding was worry free which let us focus completely on the excitement of planning our wedding and getting married. Here is just one example of how Ali exceeded our expectations: Our ceremony site ended up having construction on it that would not be done in time for our wedding and the venue told us only one month before the wedding. As soon as Ali found out, she immediately went to work finding solutions to present to us. Because of her, our ceremony site was moved to an even better (and more expensive) spot at the resort for no additional charge! She did not accept anything less than the venue completely fixing the problem! Ali truly was a rock for us during this whole process. Everything that was important to us, she made happen! She handled every single detail on our wedding day to make sure my husband and I could just focus on each other. I have to mention that Ali truly cared about my husband and I. She was there for us professionally and personally. We consider her a great friend, and I definitely will be keeping in touch with her! Lastly, if you are wondering whether it is worth spending the money on a planner, I can tell you with 100% confidence that hiring Ali will make you stress free during the entire planning process and on the day of. Ali more than pays for herself. She has relationships with so many of the best vendors which gave us amazing deals. Her services alone are worth so much more than what she charges! She works 10x harder and spends 10x more time than any other vendor does on a wedding. We interviewed several planners before talking to Ali, and once we talked to her we knew that she loves what she does and would help us have our dream wedding. We are so thankful for her!

o every detail and had a calming effect that helped us keep relaxed and focused on having fun. Would not have wanted to plan a wedding without her. The wedding was a huge and unforgettable success!

month so everything was finished in a timely manner. It was a perfect day thanks to Ali. I will be sure to save her number for future use. Thanks again, Ali. Tammy C. (mother of the bride)

away, Ali took on our wedding full steam ahead. Since my husband and I lived outside of Colorado, Ali made sure to schedule meetings face to face when we were in town, as well as, having phone conversations late into the night to plan things out. One thing that stood out most to me was how Ali kept our budget in mind. I saw this through her recommendations of highly professional vendors that were still within our budget. This was also evident through our contracts with our vendors and how Ali would approach the vendors on our behalf when she thought an estimate was too much. She is a team player and will do everything in her power to get you the wedding of your dreams, while keeping you within your budget. The best part of working with Ali, was at the end of the process we gained a friend. Ali takes the time to get to know you on a personal level throughout the planning process and even after the wedding she is in contact with you. I cannot say enough good things about Ali. She is a wonderful wedding planner and an even better friend. So, if you want to have the wedding day of your dreams, you HAVE to hire Ali. You won't regret it.

above and beyond in every way possible and did more than was expected even with us paying for her full-service wedding planning package. I appreciated all aspects of her services but what stuck out most was the hours of consultation she provided. The huge benefit here is she acts on your behalf but provides her professional opinion. In planning a wedding this makes decision making easier and takes the stress off of the bride and groom. Through her network of other vendors, you know you are getting a fair deal and good working relationship between Ali and these other vendors. With any wedding planning, you want the day of the wedding to go flawlessly. I can say that on the wedding day all the planning and time put in by Ali was executed flawlessly. Our timeline and requests took place better than we could have expected and we were able to enjoy our special day with the hard work put in by Ali. She deserves more than 5 stars!

take complete advantage of eager brides – I worked with 2 other planners who selfishly just wanted my money and didn’t care about my feelings or were passionate about making the event all I dreamed of before I was recommended to Ali by the best caterer I’ve ever encountered, Catering By Design, one of their representatives, Ching, who is also a very amazing event manager recommended Ali as one of the best she’s ever worked with. Ali stepped in and was completely responsible and considerate with my budget, which was a main concern of mine, she helped me save money and achieve the wedding of my dreams. I completely recommend using Ali for your wedding or any event you’re considering! She has a great network of vendors, and if it is out of her scope, she is a phenomenal researcher to find and figure things out; she will do everything in her power to get things done. Her timeliness is also remarkable, when you discuss ideas with her, or need answers, her turnaround is unlike any other person I’ve ever worked with. My guests were beyond impressed with my wedding, all the details and the overall peaceful energy that defined our event, and Ali is strongly responsible for this.

y recommend her

r me with no stress. I appreciate her attention to detail and creativity and her groomsman wrangling skills are second to none! She will make your wedding day a dream come true!

ailable by email, phone, or text if issues arose. She remembered details I never would have even thought of - including snacks and food for everyone on the day of, wrangling my always late fiance, and coordinating with all of my other vendors to make sure our day was perfect and stress free. She managed to take my input and translate my vague "I like steel blue and pops of peach and silver...i dunno, I'm not good at wedding stuff" to all of the vendors so that my wedding was more beautiful and perfect than I could have imagined. 10/10 would recommend.

). She was so professional and I felt so comforted knowing what great hands we were in. Ali thought of every detail and made sure we had a say in every important decision, and if we didn’t have an answer her opinion was well trusted. I’m spilling over with love for this wedding planner!! I will never forget the way she handled the most unfortunate event that could happen. One of our groomsmen’s father passed away three hours before the ceremomy. The way she delicately handled the situation as to sharing the news with the bride in the makeup chair was so appreciated. I knew she had the foresight to allow me the space to process what happened. I trusted her with a very personal and heart breaking moment to make sure everyone stayed calm. And that, you cannot put a price on. She was a rock for me and my husband, as well as the bridal party and family. At the end of the day, we had a very successful wedding day thanks to Ali. Our mothers, sisters, bridesmaids, groomsmen, and others RAVED about how great she was and that is what stands testament to how irreplaceable she was to us. And more importantly, we gained a lifelong friend we will call every time we are in Steamboat Springs to catch up on life and all the good stuff. We cannot say enough to express how amazing Ali was for our wedding. All of our love and luck for the future to her!!!

t worry about yourself getting in your dress.

lled off the wedding of our dreams! She worked with my fiance and I from the very beginning helping us find the perfect venue and pulled together an amazing team of vendors, all with keeping our budget in mind. She made the entire process stress free and enjoyable for us - and planned everything in 9 months! I could never have done this without her and highly recommend her!!

and needed some guidance. She walked me through the entire process and worked her magic and brought my dream wedding to life. Ali went above and beyond what I ever thought a wedding planner would entail. She always had everything 100% under control and continuously put me at ease so I was able to enjoy the entire process. I truly had no stress the entire weekend because I knew Ali had everything covered. Having AWEvents help plan my wedding was invaluable! Ali is AMAZING and I will forever be so grateful for her and AWEvents.

any support and had to manage the whole day. Ali made sure that I had nothing to worry about. She worked relentlessly with all the vendors and managed every single detail behind the scenes so that we could bask in our special day. Ali is transparent, professional, and drama-free. Every bride I meet I will recommend Ali to, because she truly is the best.

er, but never made us feel as though she was there for just “the day.” Ali could tell about 3 months out that we needed some reassurance about how our day would look. She planned a happy hour with my fiancé and I just so we felt ok going into the final months before our wedding. She went above and beyond the call of duty, putting out fires left and right on the day of our wedding with patience, grace, and love. We could never thank her enough for the work she put in to execute our most fun day ever. We adore you, Ali.

em throughout our entire wedding process. She kept us on schedule with everything we needed to do for the wedding, but we also didn't feel pressure and she made everything seem very smooth and easy. Ali is such a great person and was super fun to work with. We can't recommend her enough, as she was such a ROCKSTAR, especially the week of our wedding and the actual wedding day. We felt no stress on our wedding day and were able to fully enjoy our wedding, and that was a big part due to Ali having everything dialed in and taking care of all that needed to be done. Can't say enough about Ali, she is the best!!!

er super sweet personality make her the best of the best. She was meant to do this! Looking back I don't know what I would've done without Ali. She helped me from start to finish and was there with honest and supportive recommendations whenever we needed. I was so calm on my wedding day knowing Ali was steering the ship. Everything was so perfect and it was truly because of her leadership and coordination. Thank you Ali!

big day! We had a magical wedding that we actually got to just enjoy and I believe that was thanks to Ali and her incredible planning skills! A million stars to AWEvents!!

. Having AWEvents for your wedding or event will ensure that you have everything covered and can truly enjoy yourself. So grateful for her services, professionalism and talent!

n with a plan and every detail thought through. She was armed with anything we could need (bug spray and sunscreen!) and everything we didn't even know we needed. She helped make Nick & Rachel's wedding such a smooth success!

to have Ali in our corner, especially given the fact that we started our planning process later than most. Nevertheless, Ali diagnosed what was important to us and made sure that we were on track throughout the process. I would highly recommend Ali to organize and carry out your wedding or event with the highest standards of quality and service - plus, she is extremely easy to work with and friendly. We feel lucky to have benefited from her talents and thank her for the major role she played in making our wedding a success.

was never pushy or overbearing. She really went the extra mile to make sure everything went smoothly. To this end we had one of the younger adults who forgot his driver’s license back at the house not thinking they would be checking ID’s at the reception. Big mistake!!! Ali quickly jumped in and insisting on going back down the mountain and retrieved his driver’s license. She keep us apprised as to costs all the way through and there were no unpleasant surprises. My daughter’s wedding was a destination wedding in Breckenridge CO at the Ten Mile Station half way up the mountain(absolutely beautiful location but very low in oxygen). I really feel five stars is not doing Ali justice. In short, you will not regret engaging Ali as your wedding planner.

d calm all my Mother of The Bride meltdowns as they surfaced. Ali pointed out very important things that would have never occurred to me and saved us valuable time and money. She is a Master at creating a workable timeline and easily helped us all stay on track. I would highly recommend her to anyone for any kind of important event!! She is also very, very affordable! We are happy and thankful to have come upon Ali to help us plan my daughter's wedding day!

s what she does. I will be forever grateful to her for helping to make my dream wedding a reality!! She is easy to work with, listens to your concerns and makes things happen. Like I said...AMAZING!!
