They came to the table with plenty of amazing ideas and unmatched expertise and always made themselves available to support in any way we needed. Our wedding was truly the best day of our lives and it would not have been the same without the support of the Michigan Avenue Events team. They took the time to get to know us as a couple and any and all questions or requests that we had were met with an immediate "yes we can do that". We would highly recommend their services to anybody looking for a memorable, fun and thoughtful wedding planning process

Although planning a wedding is…read morestressful and a lot of work, Brianne and the team at Michigan Avenue Events put ours together seamlessly. Brianne is a fairy godmother. We met weekly for planning and update meetings. She introduced us to a curated list of vendors that matched our style and personalities perfectly. She gave us incredible options for every vendor and helped ask the questions we needed to ask. Her ability to keep everything organized, negotiate on our behalf, give us direction when needed, and truly listen was unmatched. We had full access to her and her team, and they all went above and beyond. We could not have had a better experience than what MAE provided. Brianne and the team will forever be like family and we loved working with them.

She had a creative and energetic vibe and we instantly felt like she understood our vision and would help bring it to life. She really delivered - and was a pleasure to work with. Having her made all the difference in knowing that our event would run smoothly. It did of course, thanks to her, but along the way she provided so many great resources and suggestions, emotional support, and even items for the event (like table number holders). She's just a great, warm person who is fantastic at her job and cares about making your event special. She's an excellent day of planner, but she was so much more for us - helping us every step of the way. I can't recommend her highly enough!

She is organized, thoughtful, detail-oriented, and a great advisor on those judgment calls that often come up in party planning.

She was extremely organized and made many helpful suggestions that I would not have thought of to make everything run smoothly, and did a wonderful job coordinating all of our vendors and setting up and striking all the decorations etc. at the venue.

Anna, Nancy, and the rest of the Aisle Ai team were indispensable in making our Chinese wedding…read morecelebration (complete with door games, tea ceremony, banquet, etc) a resounding success. Calling their high standard of service, thoughtfulness, and attention to detail "white glove" doesn't do Anna & Nancy justice. From the day we had our first meeting all the way to the day of our event, they truly made us feel as if we were their only and most important client every step of the way. With their help, we were able to host a reception that was not only faithful to key Chinese traditions, but also thoughtfully elevated and just... unforgettably FUN. We were essentially stress-free on the big day and were able to enjoy every moment as it unfolded. No exaggeration when we say that will miss collaborating and working with Anna & Nancy - we really cannot recommend Aisle Ai enough!

During every meeting leading up to the wedding, Nancy was so organized and reassuring. She would assign us "homework," which helped keep us on task and also offer us different suggestions to make the day run seamlessly. Nancy and her team worked so much behind the scenes that, we really felt like we just showed up to our dream wedding. She really listened to our vision and helped bring it to life! On the day of the wedding, Nancy and her team were so efficient at putting everything together - they were literally everywhere at once all the time and made sure everything ran so smoothly! They took such good care of our family members, and made sure we didn't get overwhelmed either (which can sometimes be difficult with Asian families). Nancy and her team were so calm that they just kept us calm. Post-wedding, they also made sure all of our items got organized and packed away after the reception was over. Literally every little thing was accounted for, and we just got to enjoy the night and not stress about the clean-up after. We cannot thank them enough for being part of our wedding day. They are 100% worth the investment, and if we could go back to hire them again, we would! If you want to feel like a guest at your own wedding, we strongly recommend hiring Aisle Ai!

We used An Affair to Remember for our rehearsal and day-of coordinator services for our wedding in…read moreJune 2022. Jena and Audra were wonderful and provided exactly what we needed. Before the wedding, they were open and quick to answer any questions we had, including vendor recommendations and tipping quandaries. Unfortunately, Audra was ill and unable to attend the rehearsal/wedding, but Jena was able to step up and provide 5 star service nonetheless. At the rehearsal, she coordinated with the venue to ensure everything was set up appropriately. On the wedding day, when the weather prevented us from having our first look at our scheduled outdoor location, Jena contacted all of our vendors to let them know of the updated location. She helped our photographer coordinate family photos and wrangle family members, provided setup/cleanup at the venue, and did a whole lot more behind the scenes that I wasn't even aware of-because isn't that the point of having a wedding coordinator? We appreciated all of their hard work and would highly recommend them.

My cousin hired this company for her son's graduation party…read more The company sent 2 ladies, Nikki and Demi, and they were fabulous! Here's the oddest part, many of us thought they were friends because they worked so effortlessly together. Shocked to find out they only met today. I was able to talk to them, they were both very personable and focused on the party and the guests. Thanks, Demi & Nikki, great work.

Oh my goodness!!! I thought I was being pranked! I have used this company twice and NEVER AGAIN…read more First time was in 2025, when I needed help with my sons graduation party. Plus was that the booking process was easy, pricing was fair, received a confirmation, etc. The day of the event the helper was a no show. And I did not get notified until she was 20 mins for arrival. They did find someone else (Thankfully) that showed up 1 1/2 hrs later but she was a great help. Now for this year, I decided to use them again because the ease of booking and availability. This time I booked almost 45 days in advance, got a confirmation, etc. The week of the event I received noticed that the helper has changed but the new person confirmed. Day of event, I get a call (shortly after the start time) that the helper is running late due to traffic. 20 minutes later the helper herself called that she is on her way but running late. I was fine with this, I was not upset, just told her to get to my house safely and I will see her when she gets there.... this is now over an hour of start time. The helper finally showed up, she was dropped of by someone and started heading towards the house, I immediately noticed something was off... she was dressed innappropriately, had a large sun heat and was wearing glasses with ONE LENSE. I knew something was off with her and when I approached her, she forgot my name and was pretty incoherent as to what is going on or what she was there for. I was not comfortable with her in front of my house, let alone inside my house around my guests. She was in very bad shape, sadly. After a conversation that was very difficult because she was unable to give me straight answer on what was going on with her. I decided to order and pay for her uber to get her home safely. She had no money, no working credit cards, no car, etc. She asked for food and water before leaving. I contacted Party Host Helpers right away, no one called me directly all we did is message. Now its monday and still no call back, no refund not reimbursment for the Uber. I have sympathy for the young lady. Really unreiable and the last thing a customer needs to deal with when hosting a party.

She met with us at our reception before our rehearsal and we dropped off all of our wedding related stuff (menus, placecards, guestbooks, programs, unity candle....etc..) This was great because we didn't have to worry about any of it the day of. It was all there and set up. She created schedules for myself and the bridal party. She was around for the setup of the church and the reception and she was in contact with all of my other vendors. She was at the hotel where I was getting ready right on time and made sure that everything ran smoothly from the second she got there to the end of the night. I am so grateful for all of her help and the fact that we didn't have to worry about ANYTHING on our big day. She made the entire evening a no-stress event. We enjoyed the entire thing. She was also one of the more reasonably priced DOC's that I had found. Amy is a friendly, reliable and fantastic DOC. Trust me. Hire her.

When we first reached out to Mary Rothe from the company and suggested our theme, she went as far as to send suggestions of costumes the artist could wear and lumped it into our contract. Mary was wonderful to work with and provided great customer service along the way. My only wish was that we would have been able to hire more entertainers through her for our event. I've hesitantly hired other entertainers in past and they've showed up with a cheesy presence, unprofessional, outdated, and sometimes just not polished. Everything was top notch with this experience and I would work with Mary Rothe and her team again in a heartbeat.
