was clear and timely, her planning tools kept everything organized, and she made sure no detail was overlooked. On the wedding day, Ayla was steps ahead at all times. Vendors were coordinated, the timeline flowed naturally, and any potential issues were handled quietly and professionally. Because of her, we were able to be fully present and enjoy every moment of our day. We felt completely confident in her from start to finish, and we are so grateful for everything she did to make our wedding feel seamless and truly special. Thank you for the best wedding, Ayla! I wish we could do it all again!

easy to communicate with. She took the time to understand our vision, guided us through every decision, and kept everything on track without ever making it feel overwhelming.
On the wedding day, Ayla handled every detail seamlessly, from vendor coordination to timeline flow, allowing us to fully relax and enjoy the moment! Everything ran smoothly, and we felt completely supported and taken care of. Her professionalism, calm presence, and attention to detail made our day feel effortless. We cannot recommend her enough. I do not know how people get married and don't hire a wedding planner - especially Ayla!

thoughtfully handled.
She took the time to understand our priorities, our style, and what mattered most to us, then brought everything together seamlessly. From managing vendors and budgets to refining the design and building a clear, realistic timeline, she made even the most complex parts of planning feel simple and manageable.
When our wedding day arrived, we were able to be fully present and enjoy every moment. Everything flowed effortlessly, and any behind-the-scenes details were handled before we even knew they existed. Ayla's calm presence and steady leadership made all the difference, truly!!
This was more than just planning. It was having someone in your corner who genuinely cares about your day and your experience. If you want a wedding that feels intentional, beautifully executed, and completely stress-free, hiring Ayla as our wedding planner is BEYOND worth it!!
I am getting to this review WAY too late. But if you are reading this and you're on the fence: do yourself, your spouse, and your family a favor and hire Ayla. Do it. The cost of h...
iring her in any capacity for your wedding is far outweighed by the immense return on investment you will get. Ayla is a fierce advocate, a trusted advisor, and lovely friend. On the morning of my wedding day, I was enjoying champagne with my family and friends and Ayla and Amanda had everything handled down to the finest details. Our ceremony was beautiful. My husband and I got to enjoy dinner together at our reception, and the reception space was immaculate. Our out-of-town family (large in number and in strong personalities) had an amazing time. No matter how large or small your wedding is, she and her team will make the entire process seamless and the day will be full of only joy. Ayla, we can't thank you enough.
Hiring Ayla as our wedding planner was hands down the best decision we made during the entire planning process. From the very beginning, she brought a level of organization, creati...
vity, and calm that I didn’t even realize we needed. What stood out to me most was how she anticipated things before they ever became issues. She had solutions lined up before I even thought to ask the question.
As a groom, I’ll admit I wasn’t super involved in every design detail, but I always knew I could trust Ayla to guide us in the right direction. She kept us on track with timelines, made vendor communication seamless, and genuinely listened to what we wanted as a couple. On the wedding day itself, I didn’t worry about a single thing. She coordinated everything so smoothly that I got to just enjoy marrying my wife without stressing about logistics.
What I appreciated most was that Ayla treated our wedding like it was her own. She was invested, thoughtful, and always went the extra mile to make sure every piece came together. Looking back, I can honestly say our day wouldn’t have been half as stress-free or as perfectly executed without her. If you’re considering hiring a planner, take it from a groom: Ayla is worth every penny and then some.
Ayla is so amazing I don’t even know where to begin. You always hear about how stressful planning a wedding is and I didn’t experience any of that! She made the planning process so...
fun and exciting and the wedding day turned out more beautiful and perfect than I could have ever imagined. Everything was so stress free, she brings you coffee in the morning, handles everything and makes you feel so special. I would hire her to plan my whole life if I could!
I can’t possibly recommend Ayla highly enough! She was incredible throughout the planning process and her wedding guides were a life saver. We had a bit of difficulty with our venu...
e and their coordinator but Ayla filled that gap seamlessly. I’m sure that there were a million little fires that needed to be put out the day of the wedding but I can honestly say I wouldn’t know because Ayla handled everything so I could just enjoy the day and spend time with my loved ones. She is truly incredible at what she does and has cultivated excellent relationships with other vendors in the industry that you can capitalize on. I always tell people she’s the best decision I made in regards to the wedding, 2nd only to my husband (and it was close)!

support alleviated so much stress, allowing us to enjoy the process rather than feel overwhelmed.
Given how busy our jobs kept us over the past year and a half, we truly appreciated Ayla's dedication in handling all the heavy lifting. She communicated seamlessly with our vendors and took care of all the details, which made planning so much easier for both of us. We were able to focus on the fun aspects of the wedding, knowing that everything else was in capable hands.
Looking back at our initial consultation, we spoke with several wedding planners, but Ayla immediately stood out. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and overall approach were unmatched. From the beginning, it was clear that she was the perfect fit for us. Throughout the entire process, Ayla remained incredibly organized, approachable, and always available to answer questions or address any concerns we had. No request was too small, and every detail—down to the tiniest touches—was executed flawlessly, resulting in a wedding that felt uniquely "us."
We can’t thank you enough, Ayla for everything you did to make our wedding day so special. Highly recommend you to anyone looking for a dedicated, talented, and truly exceptional wedding planner!

d attention to detail. Ayla truly took the time to understand our vision and brought it to life in ways we couldn’t have imagined. She handled every detail seamlessly, from coordinating/communicating with other vendors or to making sure every detail of our ceremony and reception was absolutely perfect.
What stood out the most was her calm and reassuring demeanor, her ability to problem solve and make sure her clients are getting exactly what they want, or how she went above and beyond to personalize our day to make our wedding feel truly one of a kind. It allowed us to enjoy the process and fully immerse ourselves in the celebration with absolutely no stress.
If you’re looking for someone who will pour their heart into making your wedding perfect, we wholeheartedly recommend hiring Ayla. Thank you for turning our dreams into reality! We love you and are forever grateful for you!
We hired Ayla as our month-of wedding planner. Ayla was one of the best choices and investments we made when choosing our wedding vendors. Ayla went above and beyond to ensure ever...
yone at our wedding got to enjoy the wedding, instead of helping to run it. She also was a resource for us along our entire wedding planning journey. I couldn’t have imagined a more perfect wedding day, and I attribute it to having Ayla onsite ensuring everything ran smoothly. The morning of the wedding was actually relaxing and I enjoyed being able to fully soak in being a bride instead of making decisions and directing vendors.
Ayla is professional, organized, approachable and most of all, she is exceptional at what she does. We had family members commenting on how awesome and amazing she was. She worked well with all of our vendors and everyone was impressed with her. Ayla is highly knowledgeable about the wedding industry and doesn’t miss a single detail. If you are thinking of a wedding planner, even for just the month-of, don’t look any further. She is the best in the business! Thank you Ayla, we are so grateful to have had you as part of our wedding planning journey & with us on our wedding day.
The Experience of a Lifetime!
Hiring Ayla as our wedding planner was one of the most easiest decisions we made for our wedding. From the designing of timelines to setting up the da...
y of, Ayla was nothing short of amazing. She relieved so much stress from me (because being a bride and planning a wedding is almost IMPOSSIBLE). I got to wake up the day of my wedding knowing that Ayla was going to bring my dreams to reality, and she did just that. She alleviated all my stress and anxiety the entire year before my wedding and this allowed me to enjoy and soak in every moment getting ready the morning of my wedding. She made the entire experience with her feel so personal and filled with so much love. We couldn’t be more thankful for everything she did for us in making our big day so perfect in every way possible! Not only are you hiring Ayla as a wedding planner but as a bonus you get a BFF by your side along the way. We love you Ayla, thank you x100000❤️
Where do I even begin with the amazing, talented, patient, kind, and my most trusted wedding-planning companion... Ayla! I got engaged in February 2023, and I knew the first vendor...
I needed was a coordinator. I had a few intro calls with a few vendors, but none were as detail-oriented as Ayla. From that call on, I knew she'd be the greatest asset I could have. I wanted to be hands-on, so I went with her month-of package. Although I didn't get married until July 2024, she was there for me every step of the way. Her checklist helped me stay on track, organized, and helped me think of things I hadn't thought of. During the planning, my family had a pretty traumatic event happen, and Ayla was sensitive, kind, and professional with my family. In addition, we added Jewish elements to our wedding, and Ayla went out of her way to truly understand the cultural aspects. When it rained on my wedding day, she helped with last-minute changes that turned out even better than I wanted. I am so grateful to have had Ayla help with my wedding. I actually MISS planning just so I can laugh, plan, and low key hang out with her. EBA is the best there is when it comes to event planning. Work with her and enjoy your new BFF <3
We used Ayla for month of wedding planning and management and she was worth every penny. She helped me plan everything well beyond the month that was promised, ensuring I stayed on...
track with planning even a year in advance. I was able to hand the ropes to her on the day of, knowing that she had been following along with the process for months before and she executed everything so perfectly and to our vision. She was able to keep us on track all day, and handled any problems without either of us even knowing or hearing about them.
She is an expert on weddings in Alaska, and has the contacts and connections to prove it. When issues came up or we had trouble getting ahold of vendors, she was able to quickly get communicate with them as she's worked with just about everyone in the industry in Alaska at this point. Truly, a perfect service. No edits. Would use her again and again and again.
Ayla's exceptional wedding planning expertise cannot be adequately expressed. Our expectations were exceeded in every aspect. From the second we decided to have Ayla join our weddi...
ng team, we knew we were going to be in excellent hands. We instantly clicked over the phone and during the conversation you could tell she was just as excited for us as we were to be speaking with her, I felt like I was just talking with one of my longtime friends.
Leading up to the wedding, the communication was second to none. If we had a question we could email, call or text her anytime. She would get back to us almost instantly with the answer to our question, a suggestion or letting us know she contacted whoever was needed to ensure we had an answer. She fights for her couples and demands answers/replies when necessary.
On the day of the wedding, Ayla showed up early to start preparing the venue for our vision and wedding. She came to my hotel room when I was getting my hair done, I couldn’t see anything behind me and kept hearing people coming in/out and was starting to get stressed out. I vividly remember asking who had walked in and she instantly came up, grabbed my hand and told me she was here, asked me how I was doing and started to get to work with moving my decor down to the venue. That speaks true to the type of person Ayla is, she is there for YOU and is invested in making your wedding day the most absolute perfect day she can. She will “hold” your hands while you wedding plan easing any stress or anxiety that may arise and celebrate you along the way.
Ayla made every single aspect and every detail of our wedding perfect, she took what we envisioned and turned it into a reality. My husband and I are SO grateful that we had someone like Ayla to plan and execute our day alongside of us and so glad that we get to call her our friend. Every single person who had the chance to meet Ayla, absolutely ADORED her.
Thank you for making our day so perfect!
I am the Events Manager at Talkeetna Alaskan Lodge. I have had the pleasure of working alongside Ayla for almost a year planning a wedding. Her commitment to the client and ability...
to turn all their visions into reality was unparalleled. She was there for every question and was a calming wave of reassurance that every bride needs. Her professionalism and warmth were felt in everything she did. I will be recommending her to all my future clients. It was an absolute pleasure working with Ayla and hope to do it again soon in the future!
No words can describe how phenomenal Ayla was during planning our wedding, but on our actual wedding day itself. We did A LOT of research, and out of all the wedding planners in Al...
aska, she was the one who was clearly the most experienced, had the greatest reviews, the most beautiful work displayed on her website and social medias and also was the best fit for us as a couple. After our first initial consultation with Ayla, we canceled all our other consults with other local planners because we knew we needed to look no further. We hired her for her full service package and it was the best decision we made. She handled EVERYTHING. And we mean it.! We only had to basically make decisions. Ayla had the most prompt communication and sent us through questionnaires and detailed documents we needed to make planning a breeze. The day of our wedding, we couldn't believe that quite **literally** nothing went wrong. NOTHING! "Our day went off without a hitch!"And we attribute 99% of that to Ayla with her pre-planning preparedness and execution of our perfect wedding day. I wish we could do it all over again..plan our wedding with her and experience our wedding day itself because it was all such a dream. Thank you Ayla!! We miss you already.
I don’t think there are enough words to describe how amazing Ayla is. My fiancé and I got her full service package and it was definitely the best decision we made! From the beginni...
ng she was readily available to answer all our questions from creating our vendor team, designing the space, picking out decor, creating layouts, our timeline and more. The year, months and days leading up to my wedding I expected to be stressed…but I was anything but!!!! Everything during the planning process was streamlined - we barley had to lift a finger…all we had to do was make decisions she presented to us in the most organized and detailed way. She did all the research and vendor communication which lifted the HUGE burden of wedding planning off our shoulders. If you are looking for a planner in Alaska - please save yourself time and look no further, because hiring Ayla is the best decision you will make when planning your wedding.
Where do I even begin?? Ayla is INCREDIBLE. If you are on the fence about hiring a wedding planner, take my word for it now and 1. Do it and 2. Hire her.
If you need convincing…
...
Ayla made the wedding planning process so much fun! We hired her as a month-of coordinator, as I planned on doing most of the work myself and then would hand it off for Ayla to execute. We added one extra option to work on a venue layout together so I could better visualize the space. Ayla went above and beyond in every interaction we had. Not only did she accomplish her work on time (or ahead) which helped lower my stress levels, but she was a sounding board as I worked through details. I genuinely felt like I was chatting with a close friend to dream and scheme up my perfect wedding. When the time came to pass the work to her more fully, I did so with glee knowing that she is just as type A as I am. ;)
My level of stress would’ve been through the roof had we not had Ayla leading up to the wedding, and certainly not on our wedding day. She executed the vision and plan we worked on together PERFECTLY. There were a few things that were out of our control (the power went out, can you imagine??) and yet the day went off without a hitch. I was calm enough because of her help that it didn’t even bother me, if I noticed at all. I will never forget the feeling of walking into our reception venue and seeing the space exactly how I imagined, without having to lift a finger to make it that way on my wedding day. She gave me the ability to remain present with my friends and family, and more importantly my husband. I will forever be grateful!
We hemmed and hawed over the decision to hire a wedding planner, and looking back I can’t even begin to imagine what it would’ve been like without Ayla. She was worth her weight in gold. Your wedding is a time to celebrate with those closest to you, and it should be a joyful day. Take stress out of the equation and let Ayla help you. This is truly her passion, and it shows in every message, every checklist, every timeline, every piece of the process.
I don’t believe there are words to describe the peace-of-mind Ayla brought to us during our wedding planning. Here is our story.
I am the friend who loves hosting and planning par...
ties and am a Type A perfectionist. When we got engaged we knew I needed a wedding planner or I would obsess over every detail and blame myself if anything went wrong and wouldn’t enjoy the process. I am also the type of person that has to ensure they have done all the research on every single option.
I spent the next week researching wedding planners in Alaska and happened upon Events by Ayla. I didn’t even contact another planner, because after seeing her website and Instagram I knew she was the one! Originally she said she would not be taking on weddings in 2023 for personal reasons, but would reach out if that changed and I was heartbroken. I agonized over this for days because no other planner was “the one” and so I began planning the wedding myself, my own worst nightmare. Then one day I received an email from Ayla that she would take on our wedding if we were still interested; to say I was elated would be an understatement! To me it was a very good omen!
Our first meeting with Ayla she assured me her job was not to take over the wedding planning completely, but to assist me and give me the information I needed, options, and advice to have the best day of my life. She was bubbly and sweet and very easy to connect with.
I spent the next week deciding if we needed to spend the extra money for full-service or not which was a huge decision, but let me assure you, the financial investment was well worth it!
In the year and a half of our wedding planning Ayla became more than a wedding planner, she also became a friend and confidant. Poor girl learned way more about my personal life and emotions than she signed up for, but she was always there to listen and give great advice. Her years of experience definitely shone throughout the entire process, but she always let us make the final decision. I never felt “steamrolled” by her, I always felt confident in her options, and I never felt nervous about how things would go on wedding day. Funnily enough, the day of our wedding I was having anxiety because I felt I should be doing something and had nothing to do because Ayla had everything perfected!
When Ayla agreed to take us on as clients I don’t think she entirely understood what she had signed up for given my personality and perfectionism, but through the entire process she always made me feel like my overplanning, design, and ideas were well aligned with her personality, style, and attention-to-detail. She never made me feel like I was a burden.
I will recommend her again and again to anyone I know who is getting married and wants the services of a wedding planner. I will also always recommend a wedding planner to every bride, no matter their personality style or how many or few details they think their wedding will require. Being able to enjoy our wedding day to the complete fullest without myself and my (now) husband, or any of our friends and family feeling like we spent the day “working” was my biggest wish for my wedding. Ayla made that and so much more come true for the most enchanting day we will never forget!
Ayla is such a fantastic wedding planner. As someone who is busy with work, being a mom, and who generally stresses out over event planning, I knew early in our engagement that I w...
ould need help planning our wedding. Right after our first phone call, we knew immediately that Ayla would be a good fit for us. She took the time to get to know us as a couple and listened attentively when we described what we envisioned for our day. Ayla has amazing attention to detail, is extremely organized and responsive, and is overall a very kind and thoughtful person. She guided us through the entire process, answered all of our questions, turned my random ideas into a reality, and most importantly, kept me sane through it all. When the day arrived, I was able to enjoy each moment with my husband and our family because I knew she was on top of everything else. It was wonderful. I can honestly say of all the decisions we made during the planning process, hiring her was the best.
We truly cannot recommend Ayla enough. A wedding planner is a huge investment and Ayla was worth EVERY single penny. We had the most wonderful experience with Ayla by our side. She...
is not only amazingly professional but also the sweetest, kindest soul. Her attention to detail and enthusiasm made our experience that much more rewarding. The planning process was smooth and efficient and the day of we weren’t worried about a single thing. Even in the pouring rain, Ayla supported our decision to have the ceremony outside! We are so happy to have met Ayla and look forward to a life long friendship!
Events by Ayla did an amazing job for us! Ayla, We can't thank you enough for your attention to detail and concern for Haley and Brian's experience. The day ran smoothly for us an...
d our guests really enjoyed themselves. If there was any drama behind the scenes, you and the other event vendors you recommended were so gracious and professional that we did not know about it. Yor help planning and checking in for months before the big day was priceless when it came to making it all happen. Thank you so so much for everything. You went above and beyond.
Ayla was a godsend to our wedding planning. My husband and I were both in California, so our wedding was destination for us and many of our guests. Ayla gave us so many great ideas...
and created a design board from my Pinterest that totally captured our vision. Her planning guide was really helpful and gave us connection to much needed vendors. She gave feedback when we really needed it. She also handled things like a boss at our tasting, she made sure that we had a 4 tier cake like I wanted (even though the chef tried to talk us into 2). I find myself channeling Ayla when I need to take care of business. You will not regret hiring her. Also, she is very communicative and kept me on track to have the best day ever! Truly, I couldn’t have done it without her.
We truly couldn’t have had such an amazing experience without ayla on our side on our wedding day. I’m so grateful for all that she did from meeting with us before our day to being...
by our side from start to finish on our big day. She really helped my wife in so many ways leading up to the wedding. Thank you so much ayla!
Ayla planned my wedding in July of 2022, and I still (5 months later) can't get over how perfect it was, what a beautiful job Ayla did, and how thankful we are for her hard work an...
d attention to detail. Ayla was completely dedicated to making my wedding vision come to life, and she delivered above and beyond my expectations. I am so so glad that we worked with her, and can't imagine my wedding without her eye for detail and her care. I would recommend her services to absolutely anyone and everyone. I simply can not say enough good things.
Throughout the planning process, Ayla was there for me - not only the detailed design boards, maps, and plans she sent me, but also to answer every single one of my questions, quickly and with care. If I changed my mind, Ayla handled it in stride and adjusted without even blinking. I really felt like she was there for me and my wedding. She was patient if I didn't get back to her right away or couldn't decide about something. She was kind in reminding me what I needed to be doing. She was organized with monthly checklists.
On the week leading up, she was totally prepared and organized and completely handled any and all road bumps (there really weren't many, being as how she had completely tackled everything so far in advance) without causing me any stress.
On the day of and day before, she worked from sunup to sundown (and I do mean Alaskan summer sun-up to sun-down) to prepare everything so we could enjoy ourselves and relax. She took time and care to get everything perfect. She didn't complain about a single thing, and always had a big smile on her face.
Another small detail that we both loved, was that she made sure we always had food and drinks on our wedding - I hear so many brides say they didn't get to eat, but Ayla literally was so on top of it, we didn't miss a single thing.
Seriously, hire her. We can't say enough about how much we loved working with her and how much fun and enjoyment she added to our day, by bringing her specific talents and light to our day, as well as reducing our stress and anxiety leading up to the event.
We are so thrilled we hired Ayla to help with our wedding! We spent so much time and effort planning all the details we knew we needed someone we could trust to take care of everyt...
hing on our wedding day. Ayla went above and beyond setting up our many many boxes of decor, coordinating our vendors, and making everything come together despite inclement weather.
Ayla always has her couples best intentions in mind, and goes above and beyond to make their day is the best! She is on top of emailing, organizing, and diligently making sure all vendors are on the same page. She made our wedding day incredibly easy because she was 110% doing hers. Thank you Ayla for being such an important part of our day! I would be honored to work with you again my friend!
s of wedding planning! She already booked a wedding for our same date, but was still able to help us with planning, resources, vendor recommendations, schedule, and the design and ...
layout of our wedding! Ayla was always timely with her communication and I always knew she was there for us! She even made time to come out and help us with the ceremony rehearsal. And although she had another bride to take care of, she checked in on me several times throughout the day of us decorating and was available to help with any design questions!
We loved working with Ayla, it was such a relief to be able to hand off some of the week of duties, and I know we couldn’t have had the wedding of our dreams without her help!
Ayla is amazing, she is truly what made our day magical. Family and friends are everything during a wedding, but having someone solely dedicated to making everything beautiful and ...
helping everyone else out is the most important piece. Ayla personally made it the wedding of our dreams and made sure that at each and every phase everything went perfectly. She was an absolutely essential part, from her welcoming attitude to her attention to detail. She took all the pressure off of myswlf and my bridal party, and for that I'll always be grateful!
Ayla was a true blessing! She made all our hopes and dreams come true on our most special day! One word comes to mind when working with Ayla and that’s perfection! Her communicati...
on. Her eye for detail. Her ideas and knowledge! She was the whole package! She made all the stressors leading up to the big day smooth and manageable. She was always just a email or text away! Then day of… She made sure all the little details were perfect, leaving my groom and I without a care in the world and able to enjoy our day!
Now that our day has come and gone, we not only have fabulous memories that will last forever but have also gained an amazing kind friend!
Ayla thanks for helping make our wedding day the start of our happily ever after!
Ayla is an incredible wedding planner. She made our day come together with ease and with no stress at all. Her communication, vision, and execution are impeccable and she is an abs...
olute pleasure to work with. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to support us on our special day.
Choosing Ayla to help plan my wedding was the best decision ever! My wedding was July 2021. She was so much fun to work with! She is also professional and very organized. Ayla has ...
an amazing wedding guide that I LOVED! She is very quick to respond and helped so much with vendor communication. Leading up to the day Ayla made the process fun and enjoyable. The wedding day was absolutely perfect! Not a moment went by that wasn’t perfect and exactly how I wanted it! She took care of all of the details and made it possible for my husband, family, and myself enjoy our special day. Ayla is an amazing and I highly recommend her!
Ayla took so much stress off of our shoulders - not only on our actual wedding day, but during the almost year leading up to our big day. I have never in my life experienced my (no...
w) wife being so calm before during an anticipated stressful time - and I attribute that all to hiring Events by Ayla! She took an unbelievable amount of stress off of mine and my wife's shoulders and made our day more than perfect. Thank you Ayla!!!!
So hard to put into words how grateful we are for Ayla!! We are so lucky to not only have had her on our wedding team, but the leader of our vendor team, orchestrating our most per...
fect wedding day. Ayla created a 35 page wedding planning guide that was unbelievable helpful and quite literally guided us throughout the entire wedding planning process. There was so many useful resources in there that my husband and I used before and even after we got married:: how to change my last name, etc... she truly went above and beyond! She handled each and every little detail leading up to our wedding day and of course, the wedding day itself. Our friends and family were beyond impressed by her professionalism and ability to guide the flow of events on our big day. If you think you can handle planning a wedding on your own...take my word for it... you can't! Save yourself a TON of stress by hiring Events by Ayla!
Truly, I don't know where to even begin. I always knew I wanted to hire Events by Ayla after hearing so many positive words and reviews from our close friends who previously hired ...
Ayla to be their wedding planner. (Plus we were guests at those weddings where Ayla was the wedding planner......and after the wedding night was so seamless, from a guests' perspective...we KNEW we had to have her as our planner!) Ayla was so organized, personable, professional and not to mention very knowledgable about the Alaskan wedding industry. She made the entire planning process a breeze. We are so lucky to have had her not only on our wedding vendor team, but the leader of our wedding vendor team - orchestrating the most perfect night. She made sure all of our little details were so perfectly executed so my husband and I could truly enjoy each of the special moments throughout the night. We can not thank her enough!!
Our daughter’s wedding day was absolutely beautiful. This in large part to Events by Ayla. From the point the wedding planning first started many months before to the end of the ...
wedding day, Ayla was right there guiding us along the way — professionally working with our daughter to design her vision of her wedding day and providing the research and professional comparisons for vendors that we might consider to choose to work with from musicians, caterers, florists, photographers, hair and makeup for the bride and bridesmaids, and linen and equipment rentals. As the mother of the bride, I literally had no stress all the way through the process. On the wedding day it was Ayla who made sure vendors, guests, and wedding party members knew when and where they needed to be. Mom and Dad were able to just sit back and watch our daughter and new husband enjoy their day. It was an amazing day thanks to Ayla!! We would highly recommend her to anyone for wedding and other event plannings!!

ave asked for a more dedicated, professional and kind hearted individual to make everything happen so beautifully. It was a truly magical day. Her attention to detail and eye for design exceeded expectations. She transformed the venue into a breathtaking space that brought tears to my eyes. She is an amazing and thoughtful human and extremely talented! Our best decision throughout the wedding process was hiring her. She made the experience stress-free and fun. She was there every step of the way and always got back to us quickly whenever we had questions or needed suggestions. Definitely reach out to her for all your event planning needs! Thank you Ayla for everything.
Hiring Ayla was one of the smartest decisions I made in the wedding planning process. I originally was planning my wedding by myself due to my budget, but when COVID hit I was some...
what blessed with more time to plan and more bend in my budget. After one phone call with Ayla I knew she would be a perfect fit as our wedding planner. From the beginning she was a excellent communicator and always answered any questions I had. She is very knowledgeable and has a great reputation throughout the wedding industry in Alaska. She has an amazing "Starter Guide" and a very impressive vender recommendation list. She literally will walk you through how to get married & help you not forget the important details. Ayla worked great with all of my wedding vendors and everything went flawlessly (to me at least) on our wedding day. Ayla is super creative and was able to bring my vision completely to life just as she promised from the beginning. She not only is extremely professional, but she also is super fun and funny which was a must for us. You can tell that she completely loves what she does. Ayla really put my mind at ease knowing that she 100% wanted us to have the best day ever. She captured beautiful videos and photos of our day and shared them with us afterwards. The behind the scenes images really were special. At the end of the night she had the cutest little gift and card for us-- in the card was two polaroid shots of us from our wedding day. It was the cutest thing ever.
I could write on and on about how awesome Events by Ayla is. If you're looking for a creative, fun, and all in wedding planner then Ayla is your girl!!! We loved working with her! Can't wait to have a bomb af baby shower one day, Ayla ;) Oh, and to see you next year for my best friends wedding eeeeek!!

day flowed smoothly and on schedule. Her communication skills were positive and clear and she was a very effective multi-taster. The Alaskan themed event was consistent in all the unique decor and delicious seafood. Guest activities were welcoming and strategically placed, and Ayla went out of her way to make it a fun time for all. As result of Ayla’s friendly, warm and unique touch, as well as her excellent professional planning, this wedding was so well orchestrated, fun and full of love. I wish we could do it all over again! I highly recommend Ayla for planning a wedding or ANY professional event when you want everything to go smoothly, without having the worries of planning it yourself. Ayla can take care of the details, so you can focus on your special day to make it truly a dream come true.

without Ayla! Wedding planning was definitely stressful on our relationship before we hired Ayla. She stepped in and made the rest of the planning process so much easier and a huge weight lifted off us! She is a great communicator and made our day happen completely stress free so we were able to enjoy our wedding day.

e. You literally don’t have to worry about a thing because you KNOW she has it all under control. She’s so organized, listened to what I wanted and handled all the details I didn’t even realize I was missing. Our intimate wedding turned out PERFECT thanks to her!
Ayla was so organized and took care of things before I even needed to ask. Her confidence and kindness were greatly appreciated on my already stressful/exciting wedding day!
Hiring Ayla with Events by Ayla was the best decision my husband and I could have made for our wedding day. Our initial thought was that we would not need any planning assistance, ...
as we were having an intimate ceremony and reception of under 80 people, but that was most definitely not the case. We hired Ayla for the full-service collection and the wedding day could not have happened with out her! Throughout the planning process, Ayla was attentive, organized and resourceful. Ayla is easy to contact and work with and she was not only able to take my visions and bring them to life, but she was able to take care of any fires that arouse quickly and efficiently. Even with having such a small wedding, having the extra hand was necessary! Ayla was able to see the day/evening run smoothly, work out all kinks with out having to involve me the day of, work with all my vendors to keep them on track and following my very detailed instructions, and most importantly, always made sure I always had a glass of champagne in hand. It was refreshing knowing all to do list items were being taken care of while I could just relax and enjoy myself during this special time. Ayla made it truly possible for me to enjoy my big day!
