Off the Beaten Path Wedding

s Clear plan Wonderful website she gives you a log in for and makes planning and “things to do” a breeze. She basically did all the pre-planning, budgeting, speaking with vendors, on-site visit before wedding, day before decoration (they provide a few things of their own including café lights!), coordination of family and friends (we had 20 people in our wedding party), coordination day before when rehearsing, coordination day of with DJ and photographer and vendor, as well as clean up. It was TRULY THE BEST DECISION EVER TO HIRE HER. I would sacrifice a “beautiful” expensive venue for Alicia because she will literally turn any space into a gorgeous setting. She learned our family’s names and understood their roles during the big day. She literally made every dream I had a reality and within budget (very important) and she doesn’t judge. She is type A and puts her heart into planning. Photography: Well it’s just so amazing to have your planner and photographer married! Everyone is on the same page and they complement each other’s styles. Neal has great eye, our engagement pictures were so so fun. He knows secret beautiful places to go around MT. The day of the wedding he worked so well with our videographer. He definitely went with the flow. They stayed a couple days in Havre (which is 5 hours away from Billings). I couldn’t be more happy with the photos. We were able to download portrait quality and social media quality. This team is worth every penny and more!! Thank you! Venue was Prairie Farms Golf Course in Havre, MT. Offthebeatenpathwedding business is out of Billings, MT. Or search Offthebeatenpathwedding on Instagram or facebook and to see all the amazing photos.

ind my that our wedding would go on without a hitch, even in such unprecedented times, and I was absolutely correct in my assumptions! The flawless beauty of the day could not have been possible or captured without Alicia and Neal. They are amazing, kind, creative, thoughtful and plainly just great at what they do. If you are looking for a wedding planner and photographer team, you will NOT be disappointed in this team!

ding taking videos and photos, once even in the rain! She was super flexible when we switched from a micro-wedding to elopement and kept me informed of every government/travel change or restriction when it came to getting married in a different state during COVID-19. Communication couldn't have been better. Since we came in from out of state, we had not met Neal or Alicia until the day before the wedding...which made me nervous, but it was like reuniting with two friends. They made our wedding day so special and really kept to the vision I had asked for; a private elopement with a stunning location. And they didn't disappoint with the stunning locations. We had only seen photos of the ceremony site until our wedding day and it was gorgeous. Their local knowledge made our wedding day and our photos just spectacular. It was such a great day that I'm kind of sad it's over! Our photos are just drop-dead awesome...honestly, even though we hired Alicia and Neal, it was like our wedding day was planned and photographed by our best friends. My husband and I both were just blown away by how awesome our wedding day was. Alicia & Neal, congrats on a job well done! When we renew our vows, we'll be calling you!

She is the definition of a wedding planner.

r more family members agreed to come than we expected, and Alicia put together all of the pieces with ease (venue, vows, officiant, music, food, flowers, cake, decor of multiple venues, invitations, literally clearing the venue of grizzly bears, signage, photos.. I can't even list everything. the list of what she did to arrange our "short/small ceremony" goes on and on. It turns out you CAN have bougie, sky-high expectations on short notice with a small budget -- because Alicia will make it happen for you. She was extremely respectful of our budget and kept finding creative ways to help us save money. She was 100% reliable and dependable, and went the extra mile in every way. I didn't know what I didn't know, and Alicia handled it all. She communicated often and clearly, created spreadsheets and documents, and called/emailed frequently. I had not met Alicia until the day of the wedding, but I felt like I knew her because we talked so often and she's so open and personable. The day of, I almost spent more face-to-face time with Neal because he was photographing us for the entire day so he was always nearby (and Alicia was off making everything perfect). He has a very calming presence which I needed more than I realized. You can tell quickly that he is a HIGH quality photographer who knows what moments to capture. He made so many great memories for us just because he is a pro and knows how to do it and in a flattering light. Our photos are INCREDIBLE and they make me cry every time I see them. We have such wonderful memories of that day thanks to Neal's talent and the care he put into our special day. My (now) husband and I joke (but.. not really joking!) about getting married again every year because it was the best day of our lives. It would have never been so perfect without Neal and Alicia. I just don't know what to say other than I have super high expectations of basically everything, and I would not hesitate to not only recommend them to my best friend or family member, but also use them again in the future. THANK YOU, Alicia & Neal!! We'll be calling you soon for our vow renewal.

et married in GNP. We originally planned a tiny elopement but as the day got closer, more and more friends and family joined in. Alicia never missed a beat. From sending me 50 lodging options the first day we spoke to seeking out and coordinating plans for our large group to keeping the ball rolling on every single detail & coming up with things I never would have thought of to make our day (and surround days) absolutely perfect. Alicia is sweet, loving, assertive, talented beyond her years and an absolute boss. I can’t imagine our trip without her. She fit in seamlessly with our group, like we had all known her forever & she even met us in the park to scope everything out and took a trip up going to the sun road with us. She also 100% understood my vision (& made up for my lack of) and constantly sent me amazing ideas and was never once pushy or bothered when I would change my mind 15 times. I could go on and on but I’m running out of characters :p My (and every wedding guests) only complaint is that she has yet to come visit us in New York so we can all hang out more!!

ng process. Alicia and Neal also set up all of the decorations and developed a timeline of events and ensured everyone was in the right place at the right time. They exceeded every single expectation and our wedding was such a fun and exciting experience because of their help. If you're considering a wedding planner, even if it's just day of coordination, you cant go wrong with Off the Beaten Path!

responsive to even the kookiest of my questions. She helped me find vendors for flowers, makeup and cupcakes and they we're all...the BEST! I really cannot recommend Off the Beaten Path Wedding enough.

eup to hair to the cake and etc! I can’t even describe how talented they both are Alicia with finding all the perfect vendors and knowing exactly what you want. To Neil with his amazing photography and making it so relaxed and special. If you want your dream wedding hire them! You will not regret it!

nning our wedding fun, and the day of was everything we wanted and more. Our pictures turned out great, there are too many to choose from to give to our family! I really love Neil's style, as it's different from traditional wedding photographers. He really pays attention to light and timing and sees what no one else does.

tion, brainstorming, and "get stuff done" attitudes. With living in Bozeman, having this team from Billings help out was the best choice for us with the steep/inflated wedding business here. I would recommend this team 10-times over for any wedding coordination needs.

orals. We were so happy to find them. We had already booked all of of vendors, but knew we had little - if none - time to put all the puzzle pieces together. We just handed it off to Alicia, and she handled the rest. She created a timeline and schedule for the day, contacted and coordinated vendors. We had a couple of meet-ups before the event to confirm things. They handled set-up and take down without any issues. There were only a couple of tiny crises during the event, but they were well handled and took little notice. They transformed an already great venue (The Annex/Fieldhouse in Billings, Montana) into a beautiful -summer-evening-urban-vibe. Their costs were reasonable, and seemed even more so AFTER the event, when we were so thankful for a wedding reception without ANY stress.

enue) to ensure everything ran smoothly. I would highly recommend Alicia and Neal to any couple who would like a stress free, fun wedding experience.
