AZ Party of Two Wedding and Event Planning

ith me. I had hired a couple vendors but along the way, just got extremely overwhelmed. Let’s be honest, planning a wedding is a full time job and considering I already had one of those, I needed Natasha’s help! She was able to combine styles, communicate with myself, my husband and our families, all with finesse and ease. She kept me in the loop with any decisions, communicated any and all changes being made, and she got stuff done and fast! She is truly an executor, and I admire how she handles every situation with grace. She is truly a wonderful person, and I would trust her with any event big or small. Our wedding was a combination of styles, and two different cultures that come with separate traditions and Natasha was able to make everything for our wedding so beautiful while ensuring everyone was happy. Our wedding turned out beautiful all thanks to Natasha’s creativity and talent. Thank you so much, Natasha. I couldn’t have done it without you.

m out of state (we live in NY). She made the process fun and enjoyable. She is ultra organized & super creative - and I trusted her suggestions (and I’m so happy I did!) Her passion for event planning and design is obvious when you meet her - and she knows her stuff! Her attention to detail is unrivaled & her sense of timing is unmatched! We HIGHLY recommend Natasha & AZ Party of 2!

or your wedding to be perfect. Our wedding could not have been any more perfect and we owe so much to Natasha and AZ Party of 2! We hired Natasha about three months before our wedding day. We had already picked out a venue and a lot of other things but we then we were lost. My wife and I both work full time and our wedding vision started to transform into something we didn’t realize in the beginning. My wife found Natasha and we are so thankful she was able to take us on as her clients as pretty last minute. We were so lucky. Our wedding was not like most weddings. Firstly, it was a blend of cultures; I am from Iraq and my wife was born and raised in Arizona. Second it was a blend of styles as my wife was looking for a more modern style and my family wanted a more traditional Arab style wedding. Natasha worked quickly to get us in touch with the right vendors from invitations to furniture rentals and after a last minute florist change a new florist. Her attention to detail is second to no one and her ability to deliver on her promises is exceptional. At no point in the process will you feel like Natasha is focused on any wedding other than your own. She has a way of making you feel like your wedding is the most important thing on her plate and I even joked with her that it wasn’t until a couple weeks before the wedding where I actually heard her voice mail because she answered every one of my calls within one or two rings. Natasha was honest every step of the way and ensured that she took the time to understand everything that we were looking for. Ultimately she delivered an exceptional wedding. The design of the room was stunning, the execution was remarkable, how she took care of us and our families and the vendors we hired was beyond our expectations. Our wedding was not an easy one, the expectations were so high but Natasha and AZ Party of 2 blew our expectations out of the water. We cannot imagine our wedding without Natasha and team.

search ends here. You NEED to hire Natasha as your planner and I promise you will not regret it. From the minute we met Natasha, she was an absolute ray of sunshine, extremely organized, passionate about what she does, and has amazing attention to detail. Throughout the process, we always knew what Natasha was working on and she consistently touched base with us to check-in. In addition, Natasha's interactions with our other vendors were always professional. Our wedding weekend was an absolute dream and neither of us felt even a hint of anxiousness, stress, or worry. Natasha had everything under control and that was our bridal party and family's motto for the night, "Natasha's got it." And she did. Natasha absolutely nailed it and we are so overjoyed and grateful to have had her as our planner. Natasha executed like no other and we cannot say enough wonderful things about AZ Party of 2.

e bride and groom looked so happy with the outcome! Natasha really went above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly, both behind the scenes and out on the floor. Working with her and all talented vendors was so much fun!

2) was finally brought in to take over our wedding, she did everything in her power to get to know us and make sure that the rest of our planning process was as easy and seamless as possible! She took the time to get to know us, our families, and preferences and really eased all of the worries and stress that had accumulated throughout the setbacks of our wedding planning. Natasha is super organized, personable, easy-going, understanding, and truly wants the best for you and your big day. She paid attention to our budget and was always honest on what to expect. She was always available for any questions we had, and always gave her honest opinions when asked. What made the process even easier was the detailed timeline that was provided to us for the whole wedding weekend and a tool to make the general nightmare of deciding seating assignments way easier and even fun. On the days leading up to our wedding including the day itself, multiple things went not exactly as planned (out of anyone’s control) and Natasha and her team still handled all of these hurdles with ease and professionalism. She does so much “behind the scenes” work that I didn’t even realize at the time which really kept my worries and stress away. Because she didn’t let certain unnecessary info get to me, I stayed completely calm during my wedding weekend (and I am NOT a naturally calm person)! She took care of us and our family with so much genuine care, and she took our trust in her to heart in bringing our dream wedding to life. We really just adore her, and would recommend her and her team to anyone. My maid of honor even said she wants to hire AZ Party of 2 to help plan her wedding when it’s her turn! Look no further in finding a wedding planner and choose AZ Party of 2! You will not be disappointed and will honestly feel instantly at ease with a team that cares about making your day as special as possible and genuinely cares about YOU. We are so thankful from the bottom of our hearts for everything Natasha did for us and our family to help facilitate the best day of our lives!

and she took care of it all. The small details, the organization, prepping and planning, it was all flawless. Natasha was so attentive to the details and making sure that everything went fabulous. It made for a wonderful night with lots of amazing memories. I cannot wait to work with her myself and create those memories of my own.

azingly great!!

nner for their wedding day! Can’t wait to work with her on another wedding soon!

nd they are good at it. I would highly recommend them

text, call and every nervous breakdown. Trust me, there was a lot of breakdowns. Sloane handled everything professionally and when it came to the day of, she came through even more so than before. When Sloane and her assistant Shyanne showed up to the property where our wedding took place, a feeling of calmness took over and every job we had for them was done in no time at all. At the end of the most perfect day ever, Sloane and her son Race drove us to our cabin for the night in Sedona where they surprised us with packing our dessert waffles that were served to our guests. Talk about a perfect ending to a perfect day. Joe and I cannot thank AZ Party of 2 (Sloane) enough for going above and beyond our expectations. It was truly perfect and it will always be mine and Joe's favorite day.

ow husband) and I feel assured that our dreams were achievable and that they would guide the way for us. They built a firm foundation for our plans, and with frequent meetings and conversations, our vision began coming to life! They guided us with large components such as rental equipment and timelines, but also assisted in the tiniest of details such as the specific wording for our invitations and where to place "reserved signs" on the day of. Every time I felt flustered or overwhelmed, Az Party of 2 was there to make sure the ship continued to sail! Sloane even ran our rehearsal practice, without her, we would have had no idea what to do and our large wedding parties would have been lost! Fast forward to the day of... I, as the bride, felt oddly at ease. Even peaceful if you will. I spent the entire day in the bridal suite enjoying the day with my bridesmaids, mother, and mother-in-law. Sloane made sure to listen to the few notes I had for her regarding specific decor placement, and also set the rest up for me. I am a very hands on person as well as a perfectionist, so if you had asked me months ago if I knew that I would be getting pampered with my girls all day while my planner did the set up and decor I would have lost my mind! But the trust I developed with Sloane and Az Party of 2 over the course of our 10 months of working together made it easy for me to allow this to happen (and is why I felt so peaceful the whole wedding day). And when I finally stepped out and saw their work I was moved to tears! Everything was absolutely perfect! My specific items were where I wanted them to be, and everything she had done on her own made complete sense and enhanced the setting that much more. I can't stop reliving my day in my mind, it was the most magical day of my entire life. There is not ONE thing I would change about it my day, and I owe it all to Sloane and Gail with AZ Party of 2.. They will forever hold a place in my heart!

Gail worked with us for an entire year planning this wedding. She went to vendors and skyped with us when I was not living in Arizona. She listened to my vision and gave suggestions and ideas to make it even better. The week before we had a problem that we needed to get a new seating chart and Gail was on it and we didn’t have to stress about it. Both Gail and Sloane made the day run very smoothly and worked the entire day to make it perfect. I highly recommend them for your wedding.

It is tempting to save a few dollars and do it yourself however after going through the process it was money well spent. Basically, with the vendor discounts/relationships they brought to the table it paid for the cost of the planners. Our wedding was absolutely perfect and would strongly recommend them to anyone looking to have a flawless wedding.

ding without them. Thanks to AZ Party of 2 I was able to enjoy the wedding planning process without stress and with confidence that my wedding would be perfect. I would highly recommend working with Gail & Sloane!

g engagement. Sloane saved the day with her services.

only opportunity to be father of the bride. After a few months in the pre planning process, I understood my job to be the producer of the event. Gail and Sloane were the directors, project planners, budget hawks, visionaries, psychologists, negotiators, Chief Financial officers, and the only one wearing a watch. The day of the wedding I had a late breakfast. It was to be 72 degrees, a little overcast, 12% humidity and a slight breeze. Ideal conditions for a wedding. The women were already into hour one of six hours primping for show time. As I sat at the table I looked at Pinnacle hill from the Four Seasons in Scottsdale. I felt like Cecil B DeMille. We had just one shoot today but it needed to come off with perfection. I had full confidence in Gail, Sloane and Jaime (the Four Seasons contact) The word from the bridal party room was - Gail scares me a little, and we all want her and Sloane to be our wedding planners. Trust me, without a strong leader like Gail in the bridal room there is chaos and the mother/s of the bride / groom will not enjoy the process. You need a chief of staff in charge of the bridal room to calm the waters. Sloane coached me on my short cameo role as father of the bride. I am business person and measure results. Gail and Sloane produced a 100% return on their fee just on the renegotiation of the flowers. Gail and Sloane executed the plan flawlessly and the Four Seasons staff excelled. Controlled costs, flawless execution, and a perfect plan are important but how do measure the results of a wedding. This is mine. During the father daughter dance my daughter said to me "Thank you daddy for giving the wedding of my dreams". You can have the capitol to pull off a spectacular wedding. The dream fulfillment is possible because of Gail & Sloane

us came off with “flawless” execution! Gail and Sloane are the best!

ran smoothly. Many of our guests expressed that it was the most beautiful and unique wedding that they had ever attended.

ey were on top of everything re: contracts, decisions that needed to be made, pricing,. There communication was efficient as they either texted or emailed back promptly and always with an answer I needed. The day of the wedding ran SO smoothly. It was absolutely perfect. They made sure every little detail was in place. They helped give me one of the best days of my life.

d down our venue choices for us, FaceTiming us so that we could see the venue "in person." Through their connections, we got contracts (which were also strongly negotiated) within a month of hiring AZ Party of 2. We had 2 cultural ceremonies and Gail and Sloane perfectly blended my Pinterest ideas with the cultural ceremonies. We were able to please all sides of the family - the groom's, the bride's, and ours. Gail and Sloane were super responsive, and absorbed any issues with any vendor so that my husband and I did not have to stress about it. Their wedding planning site is full of great tools like a budget tracker, seating chart and detailed timeline. As stressed as I was, they were always excited for us, which made me get excited again. The day of the wedding went smoothly; we were at ease and really enjoyed the day, and so did our guests. I miss our conference calls. Thank you Gail and Sloane for making our day so special!!!

without the help of AZ Party of 2. Sloane and Gail's attention to detail, active communication, sweet personalities, and amazing organizational skills were just a few of the things that stood out to me throughout my time working with them! My questions were always answered quickly and they made sure I stayed on top of my various responsibilities and deadlines so nothing was missed. The weeks before the wedding they put together the most organized and detailed timeline for all of the vendors and communicated with each one to make sure there were no issues the day of. They ensured that the rehearsal and wedding day were as stress free as possible for my husband and I, which I appreciated more than they will ever know. Sloane even made sure that all of the last minute details that came up the days before the wedding were taken care of immediately. Although I had already envisioned what I wanted the day to look like, my vision was completely brought to life with their help and the day played out even better than I hoped it would. If you are considering hiring a planner to help design or facilitate your big day, I cannot recommend their services enough!! Everything will be taken care of, you will not be stressed and you will feel relieved knowing the best day of your life will go perfectly :)

Ok the above is for people who don't want to read the essay. I hired AZ Party of 2 a year and a half before my wedding. I got the full service package and it was the best thing I ever did for myself (and now husband). I have a job in which me and him will work 80 hours ++ a week, and knowing I was going to have a big wedding, wedding planning was the 2nd job I never wanted. But Gail and Sloane made things easy peasy. Before I knew it, we had selected the venue, flowers, theme etc a year in advance. And if we didn't have that much time- they would have made it happen. Other amazing feats they accomplished: 1. I had over 330 guests at my wedding. Yes. 330. And EVERYTHING was on time. This is still a wedding miracle in my opinion. 2. Not only that crazy amount of people- middle eastern wedding (Assyrian and Syrian). Do you know how HARD it is it organize that many people, and to add on top of that -people who have no concept of time or courtesy?! But these 330 literally raved about how well organized and put together everything was! 3. Keeping our budget in check. Yes, you read that correctly. A very very modest budget with that many people-and they did it. They worked with vendors to negotiate pricing, guided me to vendors that were incredibly quality but very affordable. This was one of the reasons I hired them-when I said what my budget was and that I was expecting a 300+ wedding, they told me "we will make it work!". I had another planner very rudely told me it was never going to happen. 4. I actually enjoyed my wedding day. I don't know how many people have told me I looked so happy and so natural and it's because these girls took care of all the details and NO ONE came up to me with a question, except for what I was drinking during dinner! 5. They utilize a wedding planning program/website that made organizing guests lists, tables, RSVPs, etc sooooooo much easier than excel. 6. I spent way more time with Gail and Sloane planning my wedding than with my husband. They are wonderful, fun people who LOVE their jobs and who KNOW what they are doing. AZ Party of 2 gave me the wedding of my dreams, with no exaggeration. Seriously, they're the best!

dantly clear that she loves her job. She was able to relieve a ton of stress from me, which is something that my husband has said that he is beyond grateful to her for. She was an angel the day of the wedding. Thanks to her and her team, I was able to enjoy the day of the wedding and not worry at all about vendors, set-up, etc., and everything turned out perfectly. Sloane and her team went above and beyond anything I could have ever hoped for or expected. Without them, our day would have been a disaster. They put in so much hard work, and we are so grateful to them for making our day (and wedding planning process) so special.

er strong relationships with vendors, to help making our dream wedding come into fruition, to her attention to detail and communication on how things were progressing, Gail is truly a best in class planner. On the day of our wedding, Gail and her team ran the show, allowing us to focus on one anther and enjoying the moment with our guests. I completely trusted the AZ Party of 2 team to flawlessly execute our celebration and the results exceeded all my expectations! If you are looking for a commited, creative, professional team who truly cares about your big day, look no further. Gail and the AZ Party of 2 team will help you celebrate your love with the wedding you and your partner have been dreaming of!

ding planning process before we hired these two, and they brought back our excitement. They were so supportive and thorough . Our big day was everything we imagined and more. Our AZ Party of 2 team was perfect- Gail has that creative eye unlike anyone I’ve ever seen, and Sloane has incredible connections everywhere. They literally became family throughout our months of planning, meeting with them was so much fun each time. They even went dress shopping with me on multiple occasions because I had no family in the area. Gail and Sloane definitely went above and beyond. These two were always on time and professional. We felt as if we were their only wedding, it was without a doubt VIP treatment. They also had a wide range of vendors to recommend and saved us a ton of money. Gail and Sloane helped us get back on budget as we were very much over budget before. They went to bat for us negotiating contracts with our venders on multiple occasions. I believe they saved us close to 20k. There is no doubt in my mind that choosing AZ Party of 2 was the best decision we made for our wedding day. I cannot thank you enough.

you want your day to be the best it can be. Thank you so much!

line for the wedding day, and even sent it out to all of my vendors for me. At our reception, her and her team kept things running smoothly. Without them, I don't think my husband and I would have been able to enjoy our reception and get to be apart of it. Thank you AZ Party of Two, for helping us have the best day/night of our lives. You were so sweet, and listened to any concerns of ours. They got the job done, and executed it beautifully. We love you!

at my daughter and me as family members. I came to Sloane with my daughter's and my ideas about my daughter's wedding but I did not know how they can be implemented. She and her team worked magic and brought them to life and the Day of wedding ran so smoothly. During the process Sloane promptly responded my calls and messages and she always made me feel as though she had everything %100 under control and trust me you want such person as your wedding planner. Without a doubt I choose Sloane and AZ Party of 2 again as the wedding planner

etting up the after party and bridal suite, Sloane and her team have done an incredible job to make sure our day was stress-free and smooth. Sloane and her team were kind, responsive, and proactive! This was the single best investment we made, and I would be happy to do it again. Sloane, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much!!! We couldn't have done this without you!

ized and fun to work with, definitely exceeded my expectations. I was so glad to have their help and would not have had such a beautiful and fun wedding without them. 100% recommend to any bride!

able to find AZ Party of 2 and they ensured our day was very special and memorable. Communication was excellent throughout the whole process. They paid close attention to our budget and we actually ended up saving money in the end. My wife and I were always informed of what to expect next, thanks to the detailed timeline they provided. They paid attention to our vision and made it come to life on our big day. This whole wedding process was stress-free, due to the preparation that was put in by AZ Party of 2. My only regret, is not making the right choice by choosing them the first time. Top class wedding planners! You will not be disappointed! Thanks for everything!

They are worth every penny plus more. I would recommend them to anyone that is getting married!

st perfect day possible! She is a blast to work with and is very attentive to any needs and questions.

of 2 was just that person executing details. She made the day seamless and enjoyable for all!!!

never realized how many details I was missing during planning that were needed to fully execute my day. Above and beyond day-of coordination, they created and maintained my timeline, finalized contracts, and were always there for me for advice or a helping hand. What was most important to me and my now-husband was not having to worry about taking care of anything ourselves the day of, and I can honestly say that I did not experience one bit of stress on my wedding day, and fully enjoyed the entire day from the moment I woke up to the moment I went to sleep. They always say your wedding day goes by in a blur, but that piece of mind AZ Party of 2 gave me allowed me to fully taken in and remember every single moment. When I walked into my reception space, I was floored at how beautiful it was and how they made my vision come to life. It was very special to be able to share my wedding day with this group of women. My only regret is not hiring them to coordinate my entire planning process from start to finish. They know what they're doing, they're respectful of the other vendors, they're professional, and most of all they are kind-hearted. I hope I have other events coming up that I can have them help me plan.

ad their expertise and guidance through the whole process and helped to execute our perfect day!

r ideas, rentals, and personal experience. She started a Pinterest board, and answered all the millions of emails and questions I had. Payment was easy , and she helped me find the cheapest route. Everything went as planned, both myself and the bride couldn't have been happier. I would highly recommend this company for any of your events. Thanks again Gail!!!

the final execution of our wedding day, Sloane provided flawless, friendly, and fantastic service! A recap of our experience. Sloane, our wedding planner, was flexible with meeting us a variety of different times and locations to plan, schedule, and review every aspect of the wedding process. In her 22 years of event planning, she has developed a wide range of relationships with event and wedding vendors. This made selecting our DJ, Photographer, Florist, Tux Rental, and more a piece of cake...oh, she can handle that too! Sloane truly takes the time to understand every detail and will help you with creating your vision of your dream wedding and reception. Sloane works with your venue to put together an extremely detailed timeline and was there for us during the event to insure no detail was missed. Sloane is extremely reliable, caring, trustworthy, professional, and brings positivity with her wherever she goes. I can't thank Sloane enough for being there for me when I picked out my wedding dress, travelling with us to Sedona to chose our reception venue, being there through nervous times with family, and giving me so much positive support. I had a hair and makeup trial that went poorly and Sloane lifted my spirits by creating a wedding morning hair and makeup experience that was fun and relaxing. Sloane will truly do everything and anything to ensure that your day is perfect. AZ Party of 2 goes above and beyond just the wedding planning. I had a group of ladies I work with throw me a surprise bridal shower - AZ Party of 2 helped my friends plan and execute the party. A BIG thank you to both Gail and Sloane for making this surprise an even bigger surprise. During our wedding planning we decided to throw an "I Do" BBQ for our friends and co-workers that were not able to travel to our wedding in Sedona. Sloane not only helped with planning this party, but also attended and brought snacks! Our entire experience with AZ Party of 2 has been a dream come true. If you want to work with the best in the business to plan your wedding or event, look no further. I highly recommend you contact AZ Party of 2 and the amazing Sloane Hansen!

mean everything! My guest book went missing somehow and they got an extra one for us! To any couple out there thinking about hiring them... DO IT!!! Even after the wedding I lost all my pictures on my phone and they sent me every picture they had (thank the lord) They are so professional and sweet. Hubby and I were truly lucky to have had them with us on our day. AZ Party of 2... your team was so wonderful! Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts <3

d that I changed direction and went with AZ Party of 2. I am so happy that I did. These ladies are amazing. My recommendation - stop reading and book this team now. If you are considering them as your DOCs, heed my advice and consider hiring them as your full-time planners. Had I understood everything involved, I would have hired AZ Party of 2 as my full-time planners. Until you've gone through it, there is no way of knowing how many details (and vendor coordination) that go into a wedding. One vendor didn't deliver enough dinner plates, and Gail handled the issue without anyone knowing. The teamwork of Gail Disner and Sloane Hansen is truly extraordinary. Gail has a decorator's eye, an engineer's mind for structure and organization, and an accountant's attention to detail. It is really an unusual combination. Sloane, on the other hand, brought the decades of experience planning weddings, and a calming effect to the whole process. We leaned on her insights and experience quite often! I played the role of planner for my son and his (new) wife - at their request - and I treasure the many memories we built together. That being said, we could not have pulled this off without the support of AZ Party of 2.

d kept me from pulling my hair out! The day of the wedding was absolutely perfect, everyone was well cared for, they worked with the vendors and everything went off without a hitch. I would...no, I WILL refer AZ Party of 2, any and EVERY chance I get! They helped make my wedding day more perfect than I ever could imagine and kept me sane the whole time! Appreciate them to the moon and back!
