I am pleased and honored to give Alyssa Colvin a great review. Here is my story. Originally, I was not looking for a Wedding Coordinator. I ran into an unfortunate situation wi...th a change of Ownership/Management at our booked wedding venue. The original gal who booked our wedding was outstanding! Long story short, this wonderful gal ended up taking a job elsewhere. Our newly assigned Event Coordinator preferred working Corporate Events. Her heart was simply not into "weddings." My questions were infrequently answered, and I always felt like a bother! I decided to hire a Wedding Coordinator to be a go between and assist with wedding prep and challenges on our wedding day. I spoke with several Wedding Coordinators, but Alyssa was different. I felt instant chemistry with her! Alyssa was so kind and understanding when I first reached out to her and explained my/our dilemma. During our very first phone conversation, it felt liked she removed this big stormy rain cloud from above! In fact, she shared her own personal story, with me, which no doubt led to her successful career in wedding planning today! I knew Alyssa was going to be the best Wedding Coordinator for us. Her easy going, yet strong personality, made me feel immediately at ease!
Listed below are a few examples of how Alyssa made our Wedding Planning and Day of go smoothly:
Alyssa is organized and professional.
From Day 1, she stayed in touch with, both myself and the Event Coordinator at the Resort, in a timely manner. We were finally all on the same page.
One of Alyssa's strengths is communication and follow up. We had scheduled zoom meetings, with the Resort Event Coordinator, to go over different stages of my wedding planning.
In addition, Alyssa created a wedding timeline and reached out to everyone on our Wedding Vendor List. If there were any
schedule conflicts, Alyssa did her best to work with the Event Coordinator at the Resort, to resolve things.
The Day prior to our Wedding, Alyssa met with our Wedding
Party and organized a most professional and enjoyable
Wedding Rehearsal! She took the time, in advance, to learn
about Jewish Weddings. She also had music downloaded in advance for our wedding rehearsal.
On the Day of our Wedding, Alyssa was punctual, organized and ready to put dreams into action. She went through many labeled bins for various tables, i.e. our Memory Table, Welcome Table, Sweetheart Table, and she lovingly set everything up as if it were her own Wedding.
When I realized our Florists had left and did not hand out
corsages or pin boutonniers, Alyssa jumped in without
hesitation. She was friendly and accommodating not only
to my Fiance and I, but to everyone. Our wedding
guests all noticed and were impressed!
At the end of the evening, after our beautiful reception concluded, Alyssa had all of our empty bins refilled,
all of our gifts and cards, ready to be packed in cars
to perfection!
And then . . . above and beyond . . . a surprise for me.
My new husband and I were staying on property
at the resort, less than five minutes away from where
the reception was held. My husband thought I looked like a Princess, and felt I should be driven back to our unit in a really nice car. It was too late at night to rent a car. Alyssa offered to drive us back to our unit, in her car, which was lovely! She even decorated her car with some of our wedding decorations.
Forever grateful to Alyssa, Ellen Conrad
