Working with Ren & Co. (Alexis and CJ) was one of the best decisions that we made in our wedding journey. Our daughter's destination wedding was held in Scottsdale, AZ. Alexis was incredibly well organized and responsive to all of us throughout the process. She was particularly helpful with the welcome party, day of planning and a post wedding breakfast. Because the wedding was held in a remote area, it was not the typical venue and involved transportation logistics that Alexis and CJ handled perfectly. They were there to help with every aspect of the event and definitely went over and above to make sure everything went smoothly. Their calming attitudes, hard work and meticulous attention to detail were incredible. I would highly recommend Ren & Co. and can't imagine how we would have managed without them.

If I did it all over again, I would 100% still have Ren & Co as our day of coordinator for our wedding! Alexis and CJ went above and beyond to do anything and everything we needed them to. From the planning leading up to the wedding to every little detail the day of, Alexis was on top of everything, very easy going and beyond easy to work with. She helped us develop an amazing day of timeline that was detailed and helped us plan our day so that everything worked out so well! Day of, she was on top of everything so my husband and I didn't have to worry about anything besides enjoying our special day. Any little details that didn't go as planned or needed in the moment decision making, Alexis took on head first and made everything go so smoothly. Alexis was very personable and easy to talk to and I am so glad that we had her to help make our day go so well! On top of all of that, at the end of the night when our buses left before we got on, CJ (her partner), gave my family and I a ride to the buses so that we were not left behind! I cannot thank Alexis and CJ enough for helping to make our wedding day so special!
Any questions?

10,000 ⭐️!! I cannot recommend Ren & Co. enough! Alexis worked with us from the start of our wedding planning process up until the very end. She helped us every step of the way with vendors, contracts, marriage license documents, ideas, and more. There wasn’t a single question she couldn’t answer. She truly made our wedding planning process so stress free and easy. From making day of timelines, communicating with all of the vendors, and finalizing all of the details, Alexis was on top of everything. She executed my wedding vision better than I could have ever imagined. On top of all of that, the day of my wedding was so perfect and I didn’t have to worry or think about anything at all. She made sure everything was running smoothly and kept the bridal party and vendors on time for everything. From setup to clean up, Alexis and her team were there every step of the way. To top it off, her prices are absolutely incredible! If you are looking to get a planner for your wedding and want a stress free and perfect day, do not look any further, Ren & Co. is the way to go, you won’t regret it!

Alexis and her partner were our “day of” wedding coordinator and they were amazing. They went above what I would consider “day of” and were constantly tackling problems and thinking of things my wife and I never would have. Her communication with us and the vendors was top notch and I never felt like she was out of reach. I would definitely use her if we did it all over again and recommend her to anyone.

I highly recommend hiring Ren & Co. as your planner. We were very nervous about having our wedding on our family's property because we needed to plan EVERYTHING (bathrooms, electric, lighting, etc.). We had no idea where to start. Lex walked us through everything and was very transparent on what to expect. On the day of she made sure everything we went over prior went smoothly. She went above and beyond what we could imagine! CJ always made sure we were okay too and he made sure everything was packed away. We are so glad we choose Ren & Co!!

We worked with Lex for our wedding last year and she was incredible. We had a couple of additional complications to our schedule and we had some budget limitations. She offers some great programs and we found one that was perfect for what we needed and was incredibly helpful in working through the nuances of our plan. She was the ultimate professional, kind, knowledgeable, responsive, experienced, and was so encouraging through all of the ups and downs of wedding planning. I would recommend her in a heart beat and hope that everyone gets a chance to work with her!

Alexis is absolutely incredible. Without her, I do not think my wedding could have been executed in the flawless manor in which it was.
She is so professional while also personable. I am so grateful our paths crossed. Ren & Co is THE planner/coordinator you want for you wedding. The real MVP !

As a type A bride, I was initially on the fence about needing to hire a planner/coordinator. However, I ultimately decided that I wanted to enjoy our special day and let someone else run things, so we decided to hire Alexis for day of coordination. This was THE BEST DECISION we made for the entire event. Alexis did a fantastic job consulting on things prior to the big day, running the show when there were so many moving pieces, and solving problems that arose on the day (and trust me there are always a few hiccups). If you're like me and are on the fence about a coordinator, hire Alexis and you won't regret it!

If you’re looking for a professional, responsive, and absolutely the sweetest wedding coordinator: look no further than Ren & Co!
We decided a little last minute to hire a day of coordinator and omg did Alexis impress!! I cannot describe how grateful I was that Alexis was there helping coordinate the day of and before the wedding. Our wedding night was so magical thanks to Alexis, and we could not say thank you enough!

Alexis was amazing! I had a very DIY wedding and we hired Ren & Co to keep things running smoothly day of, and to say that Alexis literally made our wedding the smoothest most amazing day ever is an understatement! From starting the day with helping decorate and coming up with a solution to our seating chart that got almost totally ruined, to ending the night putting out glow sticks keeping the party going! If you are looking for a coordinator that is cool, collected, relaxed and easy to be around for your special day than Alexis is it!

Alexis at Ren&Co did such an incredible job making our beautiful wedding come true. The day of Alexis was a force to be reckon with, she was so calm collected and organized. My photographer, caterer and family came up to me to say just how amazing she was. Through the whole process she was in contact with us sending reminders and also found our cake vendor for us (who also killed it). We had a very DIY wedding and I was initially stressed about the logistics but Alexis made sure everything was taken care of. She’s an incredible coordinator and just overall amazing person. I highly recommend Ren&Co!

Ren & Co. (Alexis) helped our wedding come off without a hitch! It is not often that you hear about a wedding that had 0 issues. Alexis made this happen for our wedding. The day after we received an email with everything that did go wrong during our wedding that we had no idea about! We loved this little afterthought and is exactly why we hired her. I was a huge stickler on making sure everything was on time- Ren & Co. made that happen with their timeline and speedy communication. We had numerous guests tell us that they have never seen a coordinator interact with guests to ensure everyone was alright. We loved Ren & Co

We hired Ren & Co for Day of Coordination for our February wedding. She was amazing with communication and supported our vision! Most importantly, she dealt with an emergency that occurred during our wedding to the point that we did not even know an emergency happened until the next day! We would highly recommend hiring Ren & Co!

Ren & Co made my dreams of a wedding come to reality. Everything from start to finish was handled professionally with complete transparency and amazing communication. Alexis went above and beyond with providing multiple ideas within our budget to accommodate all of our requests for our special day! Wedding planning is an extremely stressful time. Ren & Co lifted that weight of our shoulders so we could enjoy and remember our day without being stressed out since everything was taken care of. From set up, to clean up, to making sure we received all of our belongings by the end of the night, Ren & Co over exceeded our expectations and we would recommend them to anyone looking to have their events planned!
