Flourish Weddings & Events

ion. Our weekend included five major events (Haldi, Mehndi, Sangeet, Hindu and American ceremonies, and reception), each with different vendor setups, timelines, and cultural requirements, and Allison coordinated it all seamlessly from start to finish. Her biggest strength was juggling multiple vendors at an à la carte venue where we had complete freedom to bring in anyone we wanted. On Friday alone, we had Taco Buddha, Honest vegetarian catering, Indian bangle cart vendors prepping for the next day, and multiple decor teams all coming in at different times. We appreciated being able to have all these moving parts handled so well without us needing to track down each vendor individually. She kept everyone on schedule, communicated logistics clearly, and made sure each setup transitioned smoothly into the next. When we walked into each event, everything just looked beautiful without any last-minute stress or confusion. Allison’s experience with multicultural and fusion weddings really showed throughout the planning process and execution. She understood the cultural significance of each ceremony and worked thoughtfully to make sure both families felt their traditions were honored and represented. Her familiarity with the Indian wedding community in St. Louis was particularly valuable. She knew which vendors could deliver on specific cultural elements and had existing relationships that made coordination much smoother. At times during the planning phase, we would have appreciated more proactive suggestions or additional vendor options presented upfront to help us compare choices, but once decisions were made, her ability to execute was absolutely flawless. She kept timelines tight, anticipated potential issues before they became problems, and maintained a calm, professional presence throughout the weekend that kept us relaxed. In terms of investment, Allison and her team are priced higher than other coordinators in St. Louis. We used her coordination-only package, where she managed vendors after contracts were signed rather than being involved in the initial selection process. While her connections to the Indian community and her experience with fusion weddings made her worthwhile, we do think the pricing could have been a bit more competitive given the local market. That said, for the peace of mind and smoothness of execution we received, we understood the value of what we were paying for. If you’re planning a fusion or multi-day wedding with six to ten vendors or more, especially at a venue without preferred vendor lists or strict requirements, Allison is an excellent choice. She’s detail-oriented, unflappable under pressure, and will make sure your complex celebration runs smoothly without you needing to micromanage the details. Her cultural competency and vendor relationships in the Indian wedding space are real assets that are hard to find elsewhere in the region. Thank you, Allison, for making our weekend so memorable and helping us celebrate our marriage across both of our cultures with grace and professionalism!

had productive meetings over zoom. She kept us on track with deadlines and she provided great vendors. She communicated behind the scene details with the vendors making our planning seamless. She was calm and encouraging. The week and day of she really went out of her way to help us with EVERY last detail. She and her team set up our details at the church and the venue. We HIGHLY recommend her. You will not be disappointed.

usted her throughout the process and she answered all of my questions and vendor recommendations. When we got down to two months to go, she was incredible with handling all of the vendors and working with me to create the perfect timeline. I really appreciate how she's worked with all of the vendors I had chosen, and was super helpful with the logistics of our different locations for the ceremony and reception. When our ceremony ran long, Allison was able to coordinate with everyone to get us back on schedule without missing a beat. I'm so thankful we had her for our wedding. 10/10 recommend!

e to talk about our vision, I had so much confidence in her taste, organization, knowledge/relationships with vendors, and overall expertise. Handing off the coordination and planning to her was effortless (not to mention she helped answer questions long before that) and she was on top of every detail and piece of communication. We had our ceremony and cocktail hour at the Fox Theater which includes a lot of logistics with staffing, along with our additional production elements, and she executed our creative vision perfectly! From coordinating and managing vendors, creating and keeping the timeline, juggling logistics, transitioning between venues, and handling communication - she was a complete pro! Leading up to the day, at our rehearsal, and throughout the whole event, she kept us at ease, confident that everything was running smoothly, and intercepted any potential issues so that we could stay present and fully enjoy our big day. My mom and mother-in-law were also able to focus entirely on family and friends, which they're so grateful for. She does it all with such a pleasant demeanor, everyone loved her! I've worked in the production and events industry and once had a manager share with me that when things are underway, the person leading the charge should appear like a swan. Serene and graceful above the water where you can see her, but paddling and working with great effort and energy below the surface - Allison works exactly like this! I'd recommend her to anyone and will definitely be calling her for future milestone events! Thank you, Allison!

The timeline is flawless and you know the playbook well before the event. The week before the wedding when everyone asks if you are nervous, you say no because of Allison.

We chose the best vendors and our venue even told me you picked the best of the best. Thank you Allison for making a memory of a lifetime!
