Alliyah and the Bridal Bestie were everything we could’ve dreamed of for our big day. To start, they’re SO personable, understand the stresses of a modern bride, and communicate efficiently and effectively. She was ready and willing to jump in for anything I needed in the weeks leading up to my wedding and on the day of, her presence provided comfort within a very overwhelming environment. It rained minutes before my ceremony and Alliyah and Averi gracefully and calmly pivoted all of their hard work with decor and rearranged it quickly to make sure it still aligned with my vision. Everything had to be moved and re-setup within 20 minutes (after HOURS of setting up) and they did it with perfection. They did everything in their power to make sure that we did not have to worry about anything on our wedding day other than being present and they completely succeeded. We cannot recommend them enough to anyone looking for a seamless process for their wedding.

Alliyah and the entire team at Bridal Bestie were absolutely amazing at our wedding! From the start, Alliyah understood everything I asked of her and went above and beyond my expectations. She truly made our day seamless. She was excellent at coordinating with all of our vendors, ensuring everyone was on the same page, and helped make the day so enjoyable. Additionally, her attention to detail during the cleanup was remarkable, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy our special day. I couldn't have asked for a better experience and highly recommend Bridal Bestie to anyone planning their wedding!

Alliyah was amazing to work with! So kind, knowledgable and had great recommendations. I didn’t give her a ton of direction for my day of planning and she blew me away with the execution! In hindsight, I wish I realized I had hired her for her biggest package to relieve a lot of stress. Planning is way more difficult than I had anticipated and Alliyah would have helped a ton had I booked her for more.

Alliyah is absolutely amazing! I couldn’t say enough about her. She will help execute every dream or wish your desire. She will literally hunt people down for you, take over all communications so you can relax on your day, help photographer and videographer get all the shots and so much more! I’m actually sad that now that my wedding is over, I won’t be working with her. But happy by the end of it all, I can call her a good friend🤍 Thank you again Alliyah for everything! My day was absolutely perfect and I have you to thank for it🫶

They did a fantastic job at my wedding. We hired them as day of coordinators and they did not disappoint. It was a very windy day and they did a great job solving many problems with our floral arrangements and decorations. Without them we would not have been able to properly relax and get ready for our wedding. I highly recommend them to anyone. This team will strive to make your day beautiful and special like you dream of.

Alliyah is my wedding planner for my July 2024 wedding and hiring her was one of the best decisions we made early on! She's been so helpful throughout the planning process and knowing she'll be there on the big day is such a weight off my mind! ----- We loved Alliyah's confidence in us on the wedding day! Alliyah kept us on track throughout the wedding day and was such a lifesaver coordinating with all of our vendors. Alliyah also took a lot of photos and shared them with us that we could look at the next day! Throughout the planning process, Alliyah was super flexible to work with in terms of setting up meetings or rescheduling meetings if we needed. Having Alliyah as our wedding planner was pivotal to so many amazing things that happened at our wedding day!
