There are not enough positive adjectives to describe Alexandra. My husband and I were initially…read moreskeptical of hiring a wedding planner for our wedding this past April; we weren't sure if it would be a worthwhile investment. After signing on with Alexandra of Alexandra & Co., there's no way either of us can imagine having planned the wedding without her! I'm completely serious: she competently handled all details from start to finish, mundane to significant, while keeping us in the loop at all times. We presented our vision for a cocktail/small plate reception to her; she in turn recommended a caterer who offered us a proposal that required zero revisions. She lined up our appointments, interviewed vendors, kept track of our budget and was always expense-conscious; she did all of the above thoughtfully, efficiently, and in a timely fashion. Never once did she push vendors or ideas on us; she let us envision our wedding the way we hoped to have it and she executed it all brilliantly. She was always available, responded same day to emails and phone calls, and we found ourselves marveling at how stress-free the process had become! We were able to fully enjoy our wedding day, an uncommon occurrence among newlyweds consumed with the planning process, because she had taken care of everything. I cannot imagine navigating the minutia that come with planning a wedding without Alexandra. Our guests and family raved about the wedding - we credit Alexandra for working her magic. I cannot recommend her enough.

My spouse and I highly recommend Alex to plan not only your wedding, but any special event. She…read moreplanned our wedding last September and did an outstanding job.

This competition was a scavenger hunt where ten couples competed to win a $50,000 wedding. Taylor & Hov worked together to have their favorite vendors contribute their services. To our shock and surprise, WE WON! Following our win, Taylor & Hov designed and executed the perfect wedding for us. Not only did it provide us the opportunity to work with some of the best vendors in DC, but Taylor & Hov's creative talents far exceeded our expectations. When we first started our wedding planning, we had only a vague idea of what we wanted. Despite this, Sugar was able to create an event which really spoke to our personalities. We spoke to her about our mutual love of music, and she found a way to incorporate this into every aspect of the day, with programs made of records and place settings created out of cassette tapes. Moreover, during our highest stress moments, Sugar and Nar saved the day with their eagerness to help with both large and small details, from changing the venue at the last minute to putting together a signature cocktail that our guests still won't stop talking about. All in all, Taylor & Hov gave us a better wedding than we could have ever hoped for, and for that we are so grateful! Thanks Sugar and Nar!

I work in Falls Church, VA, so driving up to Bethesda after work was not easy. Each time, I had to leave work early in order to get to the store before they close. You would think if I had 2 coupons the store would allow me to make 2 transactions in one visit but they actually made me come in 2 days in a row bc the rules stated that one coupon could be used per visit. After purchasing the invitations, I realized that printing would be difficult. I returned to the store for a third visit to purchase their printing services for the invitations. My fiance and I sat down with the store employee and we wrote down exactly what we wanted on the invitation. You would think this would be simple and they would print out exactly what I wanted on the invitation. She informed me that I would be emailed a proof "next week" and the invitations would be ready shortly after. You would think that you would hear from them within 48 hours (business days of course). On Wednesday I still didn't hear from them. On Thursday, they emailed me a proof. I checked on my iphone for the design but didn't double check all the wording since we sat down with the store employee and wrote down exactly what we wanted on the invitation. We drove up to NY and I showed my in-laws and noticed that instead of printing out Saturday they had printed out Sunday. I was so confused because 04 August is a Saturday and I wrote down exactly what I wanted on the invitation. I ended up having to repay the amount for the invitations. On top of that, I ordered 40 invitations and since they made another mistake, I only got back 39. They did not apologize. If you're planning any special event, I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THEM. They are not timely and they do not meet basic customer satisfaction like giving you back what you order. I am so glad that I ONLY ordered engagement party invitations from them & nothing more. From the first time I first went in their store, it took me a month to get the correct invitations. VERY UNHAPPY WITH THEM & WOULDN'T WANT ANYONE TO DEAL WITH WHAT I DID.
