Where do I even begin.. from our first conversation, I knew Ayanna and I were on the same page and that she was going to deliver my vision for my wedding. Needless to say, after almost 2 years of planning, she pulled it off beautiful, more than what I ever imagined. She knew I had my heart set on a particular venue and due to circumstances, that specific venue was unavailable when we first started planning, so over the 2 years she not only searched other similar venues, but she kept in contact with my dream venue UNTIL... She secured it!!!! She was so patient and so understanding when it came down to finances and how much my husband and I wanted to spend.. I can’t recommend her enough. All her recommendations were amazing and our communication was smooth throughout the entire planning process. She really ended up being my best friend through it all.. The cherry on top though was her amazing team!! I, of course, received the ultimate uninvited guest the morning of my wedding day, the worst thing a bride ever wants (ladies, you know!!) but her team was prepped and ready all day with everything I needed to feel comfortable. Every little snag we went through Ayanna fixed immediately! I can’t wait to use her again for any big event I have coming. Thank you Ayanna deeply from my heart.. I love you and you’re amazing!
Ayanna was a dream to work with! She made the wedding planning process fun. We hired her for her partial-wedding-planning services and she truly went about and beyond. 1 year out she was sending us vendor suggestions and design ideas. We had weekly planning calls which kept us organized and ahead of schedule. She got along well with our two (very different) families and was a joy to have at our pre-wedding events. Leading up to the event and on the day of the wedding, she handled all of the communications with the vendors so that we did not need to worry about the details. She is professional, personable and organized. We will definitely be using her for our future events! Thank you Ayanna
Ayanna and her team were amazing! Thanks to them I was able to enjoy my day with no regrets! I didn’t have to worry about anything at all. Everything was perfect! Best day ever!
Let me start off by saying that Ayanna is truly the best in the game! Ayanna and her crew made our day stress free. She took our vision and made it in to something more than a dream. If it wasn't for Ayanna, my wedding wouldn't have been as beautiful and perfect as it was. She made my guest and family members feel like she was a part of us. She made my husband and I feel so special! I will truly be missing our phone calls. We love Ayanna!!
There are not enough words to explain how wonderful Ayanna and her team are. I am unbelievably thankful that we chose Ayanna to help make our wedding day so magical. She went above and beyond to ensure that everything went smoothly, everyone was where they were supposed to be when they were supposed to be there, that everything was decorated beautifully and ultimately that my husband and I had the best day of our lives. She made me feel like a princess and provided a stress free environment on one of the most stressful days.
The first meeting with her she came prepared asking questions that I hadn’t even thought of. Had I not had her to help me with my wedding I would have been a basket case the day of. She took a ton of notes and got to know me personally to truly understand my likes/ dislikes and what my vision was for my wedding. She delivered everything I had hoped for and more!
She always made herself available when I needed her and would call just to check in on me to see if I needed anything, if I was stressed... etc. I truly am so lucky to have had her coordinate my wedding.
Thanks so much Ayanna! You are the best! I couldn’t imagine what my wedding would have been like without your magic touch. We are so thankful for all you did to make all our dreams come true. Thank you thank you thank you!
I had my Dream Wedding on March 16, 2018 and I could have never pulled it off without the help and guidance of Ayanna and her team. We hired Ayanna half way through the planning process because I knew that we needed some help. I was planning a wedding from Indiana in NJ and Ayanna made the job so much easier. From sending out invites and receiving RSVPs to ensuring that I had a stress free wedding day, Ayanna took care of it all. Ayanna, me and Bradley are so thankful to have found you. Your help and presence on our big day was such a gift.
I've never met a more personable and professional planner, ever! Ayanna was the planner, designer, and florist for my daughter's wedding. When my daughter told me she was all 3, I quickly questioned was this too much for her to handle. Absolutely NOT! Ayanna has an amazing staff that knows how to get things done and a staff that works seamlessly together. I was blown away at how beautiful my daughter's wedding was. Ayanna, thank you. My daughters wedding was a dream come true. It wouldn't have been the same without you!
A Dream Come True! Ayanna planned and designed by "Cinderella Theme" wedding for 300+ people. I knew dealing with my family, my busy schedule, and planning a big wedding would be hard for me so I hired Ayanna to do full-service planning, and full-service is exactly what she gave me. From taking my vision and bringing it to life, to selecting all of my vendors, planning out the full-day, and designing two remarkably beautiful spaces ... every single detail was well thought out and beautifully executed. Not one single detail went overlooked, from the intricate crystal accents on the napkins, to the gorgeous textured linens my guests ate upon. Ayanna's eye for design is one of a kind. Not only is her design eye sharp, but her organization skills are impeccable. My wedding party was huge --nearly 40 people ... and Ayanna and her team managed them perfectly. Everyone was on time thanks to her, and the wedding started on time, thanks to her and her excellent scheduling. You won't regret choosing Ayanna as your planner and/or designer. She's the best in the area! I can't wait to renew my vows in 10 years --I'll be calling Ayanna again!
Ayanna is a mastermind at what she does. Our wedding was a dream come true, and I had the happiest bride on the planet. Happy Wife, Happy Life, right?! Seriously, hiring Ayanna as our wedding planner was the best decision my wife and I made. Instead of going crazy planning a wedding for 150 people, my wife and I were able to enjoy being engaged and we were able to enjoy all of those special moments leading up to our big day. Ayanna and her team are super organized, and supportive. Her team did a great job managing my troublesome groomsmen, and made sure my guys stayed on task the entire day. The decorations were absolutely beautiful, everyone was in love with our theme. Ayanna was also able to help us with vendors we didn't have resources for --she referred some of the best vendors to us and made sure all of them were where they needed to be the day of our wedding. We didn't have to lift a finger or think twice about anything at our wedding, and it's because of Ayanna and her awesome team.
I am currently a DBA bride, getting married in December 2017. Ayanna came on board as my full service wedding planner in January 2017, and immediately jumped in to plan my wedding. The wedding planning process has been a breeze with her spearheading every detail. What I love about her is that she considers my fiancé and I's personality and personal touches throughout all of the details from finding the vendors to decor themes and more. I honestly don't think I could have planned my wedding without her. She's really saved me a ton of time and money in the long run because of her expertise and connection to the wedding industry. She's accompanied me and my fiancé to vendor consultations, venue walk throughs and more to offer her expert advise. It makes this planning process much easier because she literally thinks of thinks that I would have never considered to ask. Plus, she's saved me a few gray hairs and my sanity because I don't have to stress over the little details! It's been amazing and I can't wait for my big day! I know it's going to be absolutely perfect!
Ayanna planned my gorgeous rooftop wedding in NYC. I called Ayanna after spending weeks stressing out trying to do it all by myself. After speaking with her I felt so relieved that I could leave the plans of such an important day in her most capable hands. She had ideas of things I hadn’t even thought of that became memorable components of my wedding day. My husband and I were completely surprised at how she took what we gave her and turned it into an amazing wedding. When I look back on the pictures and think about how special that day was, I can’t help but credit Ayanna and her team! Once I gave it to them, I didn’t have to think about anything, they did the work and I had an amazing, stress-free wedding day.
