Vows & Veils

d and we could not recommend her enough!! She also did our florals, which were pretty extensive, and we received so many compliments on them. They were beyond beautiful and she truly brought our vision to life.

t to us. I honestly couldn’t have done the day without her!

on time for our meetings and was able to bring our wedding vision to life. If anything did go wrong during our wedding I had no idea and Alissa handled it perfectly. Highly Recommend!

l forever be SO grateful for her and the way she brought our vision to life! She expertly managed all details, our budget, communication with vendors, provided beautiful design recommendations, and absolutely nailed our floral arrangements! She is so well-rounded, detail-oriented, hardworking, creative, and genuine. We utilized all of her vendor recommendations and had such fantastic experiences with all of them! She has wonderful relationships with vendors in the industry and can give you great recommendations based on your style and price range. She went above and beyond with her organizational skills, always keeping us up-to-date and on time for tasks. She navigated obstacles we ran into with understanding and support and even successfully negotiated on our behalf when we ran into logistical challenges as well. If you work with Alissa, she will truly spend time getting to know you and not only will she help make the wedding planning process feel less daunting, she keeps it FUN! I still can't believe she was able to work behind-the-scenes with my parents to pull off an AMAZING surprise for us at our reception! Alissa - thank you for making our special day possible. We absolutely LOVED working with you to plan our wedding and it went perfectly thanks to your hardwork! We can never thank you enough!

d contracts with venders! If I had to have done this myself, I’m sure that I would have quit. But Alissa always said, “No problem” and then started working on the task. During our first meeting, Alissa wanted to get to know us and learn what was important in our lives. From this information, she was able to incorporate a New Orleans style wedding in Ann Arbor, Michigan. I showed her flowers from my grandmother’s wedding and she instantly knew who would be the best florist for the job. She recommended the wedding band which played horns at our second line parade, piano during cocktail hour and then a full set of instruments during the dance portion of the reception. My step-children in their twenties raved about the band and my neighbors who are a little older than me appreciated the “vintage 1980’s tunes.” Alissa recommended the baker for the cake based on the taste but also the ability to apply a world map (we travel quite a bit) along with Fleur de Lis. The cake was stunning! Allisa knows the correct photographer, videographer, lighting professional and other venders. She helped to make our wedding venue into something magical. Alissa is extremely professional yet understands when life happens. During the planning process there were times when I was unable to respond to her emails because my own life was so busy. She would let it go for a while and then text to see if everything was okay. During one such conversation, I explained that I had gone gown shopping but hated all of them! I had no idea where to go for a bridal gown for an older woman who was no longer a size 5. Alissa knew just the shop. I give Alissa my highest recommendation when it comes to wedding planning because she knows all the sources and most importantly, she is a great listener. This was the difference between having a beautiful wedding and having a very personal, beautiful wedding. She is extremely organized, which is the key to pulling off an amazing wedding. I recommend Alissa to any couple planning a wedding. Big or small, traditional or radical, I’m sure she can do it all!

ng. Everything turned out absolutely perfect. We had the best day and she was a huge reason why! Definitely recommend!

th her prior to the day of that were very helpful. We had a ton of extra items to put out on display and she made it look perfect. And the flowers and table settings were absolutely beautiful! My day ran so smoothly because of her. I highly recommend!

before the wedding, which was a huge stress reliever. We also loved her flexibility with virtual venue walk-through since we were planning our wedding from Oregon when we were not getting in to Michigan until the weekend before the big day. We enjoyed the help & day you helped cultivate for us :)

dn't have to worry about anything the day of my wedding!

d beyond our vision for the reception space, it was beautiful and made me cry when I saw it all set up. One of their greatest tools is their calming presence - both Alissa and Corrina made wedding stress melt away as we knew they had everything handled between the two of them.

ade sure everything was cleaned up and done at the end of the night. I didn’t have to touch a single thing! I honestly couldn’t have done the day without her and am so appreciative!! Highly recommend her business.

eet and helpful. She has everything together even when a million things are going on. I cannot imagine not having her for our day, everything would have been so different and less organized. She just had a baby and was still doing everything on time and professionally. Thank you soooo much, Alissa! You are the best :)

o entirely relax on the day. She also totally grasped the vision my husband and I had for the day - the things we cared about, the things we didn't - and fully realized the party of our dreams. On top of it all Alissa is so kind, warm, and thoughtful. We can't recommend her enough!

e needs from me is screenshots of my inspiration! She effortlessly brings my visions to life, and if I am confused, she gives me honest direction and educates me throughout the process. I wish I was getting married all over again so I could have her plan my wedding! Instead, I just have to refer her to everyone I know!

wers turned out even better than I could have imagined!! We ordered a large gazebo display that Alissa and her team came to assemble before the ceremony and returned to take down after the whole event. I would highly recommend!!

lped me so much to organize my thoughts and be reminded of little things that I probably would've forgotten without her help! Throughout our meetings, she asked thorough questions and took notes of everything we discussed which was useful when I would go back to check over things, or she would give recommendations of what would work best if I were still unsure about details. The day of the wedding brought such relief because I knew Alissa was taking care of the set-up and last minute details, and she would make sure everything looked beautiful! Her florals and design took my breath away and it was so fun to see our visions come to life! Everything was absolutely stunning. Alissa helped keep us on track for our timeline, communicated well with our other vendors, and even brought us water during our outdoor photos (it was very hot that day!). I am so happy that we used Vows & Veils for our wedding day, and would recommend Alissa over and over again!

ges. The flowers were stunning. I gave a general idea of what I wanted and she carried out that vision more beautifully than I could have imagined. I highly recommend. Vows & Veils for both a florist and coordinator.

able at the reception. From the bouquets and boutonnieres to the centerpieces and gazebo arrangements everything was perfect.

nothing was overlooked or missed. The ceremony and reception flowers done by Alissa were gorgeous and perfect for the venue. We had last minute changes and Alissa kept us calm through it all! I would highly recommend Alissa!

expert knowledge of Pine Knob Mansion that helped tremendously - from knowing the dimensions of the gazebo off the top of her head, to reminding us about the cocktail tables - she had it all covered! We rescheduled our wedding, and through it all Alissa gave us her time and support, not batting an eye at the last minute centerpiece changes that we needed. She was so supportive through the process, and so professional the day of, I couldn't have asked for more.

de sure nothing slipped through the cracks. She was mindful of our budget, something my husband appreciated a lot. She can keep her cool in any situation and did a fantastic job guiding us through changing our ceremony site a month before the wedding. If you’re unsure about booking a wedding planner, definitely make the investment so you can enjoy the planning process and your big day! Thank you Vows and Veils

ng job adjusting as needed to fit our budget. Thank you Alissa from the bottom of our hearts!

sential and invaluable part of our team. We first met Alissa on the day we reviewed potential venues for the wedding. Alissa had arranged meetings at 4 sites, covering a range of venue styles and settings. She was punctual, friendly and very helpful in pointing out the potential assets and liabilities in each location, all without being the least bit intrusive in our family discussions. Her experience was very helpful. As our planning process confronted the realities of the COVID situation, we found Alissa to be a much needed ally in adjusting our plans to accommodate the new reality. She was flexible, understanding and took a leadership role in representing our needs within a highly uncertain COVID environment. Long story short, we revised our plans to include an intimate outdoor wedding in October, 2020 and a full, indoor wedding late in 2021. Alissa's execution of all responsibilities associated with the role of wedding planner has been flawless. She can focus on small details and still maintain complete awareness of the big picture. She is trustworthy, industrious and customer focused. We wholeheartedly recommend Alissa not only as a terrific wedding planner but also as a very kind and pleasant person.

ding our needs and proceeded to create exactly what we wanted. She was a real lifesaver for us.

rangements too, I decided to check with her to see if she could potentially put together a few pretty fall arrangements for the head table at my shower. Honestly, my sister & I were planning to go to Trader Joe’s a few days before the shower and buy whatever fresh flowers they had to put in small vases throughout the rest of the venue – so I was hoping for 1-2 “professional” arrangements as the focal point incase my DIY approach didn’t work out so well! By the time I had asked Alissa a couple of months out from my shower, she already committed to providing flowers for another wedding on the same day. BUT, instead of just sticking to what I’m sure was an already really busy project for her, she didn’t turn me away. Instead she quickly thought of a creative approach. She offered to order flowers for me along with her wedding order and put together the arrangements 2 nights before my shower. Typically, she would have put them together the day before and delivered them to the venue the day of, but she found a way to make my order work by putting them together and letting me pick them up from her! As if that wasn’t already enough – once she learned of my vision and DIY plan for the rest of the flowers, she offered to put a quote together with some of her flower suggestions for the bud vases I already picked out & the deep fall floral colors that were on my shower invites. When I got her quote and design suggestions back, it was a no brainer! I was literally SHOCKED at how pretty the flowers were that she picked out for the price, and I never thought twice about doing my own after that. I instantly watched the whole look/feel of my shower come to life! I know it may sound a little over the top – but something about having my own personal floral designer for my Bridal Shower felt so fun and exciting! I was really looking forward to this part the most out of all of the décor I had picked out. So, to bring the story full circle – Alissa made the most beautiful fall focal arrangements with greenery, deep purple flowers, berries, Antique Pink Hydrangeas, and so much more. She also made the PRETTIEST tall & short bud vases featuring TOFFEE roses! I mean, I never even knew something so pretty and unique existed! And to top it off, she sent me home with some extra vases of pretty arrangements because she had some flowers left over 😊 All in all, the flowers were a huge hit! I put bud vases on the desert table, the welcome table, the bar, the guest tables, etc. They added the prettiest touch and pop of color and made everything look really elegant. They were very well done. Everyone loved them so much, they took them home with them! I was so sad to leave them behind in Michigan when I had to fly back home - they still looked pretty almost a week later! I highly recommend Vows & Veils for event flowers – the customer service, experience, quality, and price are second to none!
