I actually laugh out loud when I recall how I first thought I didn't need a wedding planner. I…read morefigured I had plenty of ideas, a good sense of design, and thought I could manage my time well enough to get things done when things needed to be done. Looking back now, I can't imagine this past year without Alexis and her team at the Little Things. Alexis is cool, calm, and collected. She has an incredible eye and seemingly limitless patience. She gave me the space to design specific elements of our wedding while providing her expertise at every turn. Her high standards have helped her build a network of vendors who truly bring their A-game. My fiancé and I definitely put The Little Things through the ringer with our out-of-the-box interactive displays and AV set up. Alexis took it all in stride, remaining positive, managing our expectations, and meeting every challenge presented and exceeding expectations throughout. If you view wedding planners as a "nice to have," and not a "necessity," I would change your thinking. There are SO many things that can come up, and they would have easily derailed us many times in our planning if it were not for Alexis who acts as part wedding planner, part therapist throughout the process! ha! When you look back at your wedding, if you're like us, you will constantly be bringing up amazing memories, and you will find yourself saying "Imagine we didn't have Alexis."

If you're beginning to plan your wedding and you're looking to be creatively engaged but not…read moreoverwhelmed by the process, it's time you meet with TLT. If you value design and love beautiful detail but don't have the time to chase every email or treat your wedding like a second job, it's time you meet with TLT. If you have a bunch of ideas in your mind of who you and your partner are, and how you want to present yourselves as a couple, and want a planner who can understand you better than you understand yourself, it's time you meet with TLT. If you want to enjoy the process of planning your wedding as much as your wedding itself, run, don't walk, to TLT. Alexis & Kayla were by far the most important and most valuable decision we made for our wedding. After following TLT on IG for some time, I knew I liked their high-end, laidback vibe, and from our first conversation we were bowled over by how those traits translated to the people behind the scenes. From early days with thoughtful questionnaires into every aspect of our identity, Alexis and Kayla began the journey of getting to know us better than we knew ourselves, and helped us establish a mood, a design aesthetic, and a way of working together that made the year of planning our wedding a true joy. What you can expect from working with TLT: monthly meetings where you will laugh until you cry, a meticulously organized online checklist of to-dos with assigned owners and gentle and timely reminders, to be presented with teams of vendors who match your vibe and price point (you can always suggest your own vendors and TLT will vet them too), never having to send a single email to a vendor (!!!!), a sense of comfort knowing that everything is IS THE BAG, and in the critical days leading up to the big day and including the big day itself - being able to be present and enjoy this once in a lifetime experience. Alexis and Kayla helped us author our first big creative project together as a couple and will be lifelong friends. They assembled a squad of the COOLEST, most hardworking vendors we could imagine, and we will be forever grateful. If you are on the fence about working with a planner, DO NOT HESITATE to take the leap with TLT. They are worth their weight in solid gold.

I was disappointed by Hopple Popple. They promised so much more than they delivered. At the first…read moremeeting the owner stated we would be able to pick from three vendors, for each part of the wedding (ie. band, flowers etc. ) She only came up with one vendor and we had to research for more. My mother and stepmother believe very strongly in consults and relied on her even though my stepmother is a professional party organizer out of state. The owner later told our vendors that they should do what they wanted because "these people were from out of state and KNEW Nothing." Even the vendors seemed embarrassed by this. We had instilled our trust this woman had thrown it aside. When we decided on our church location, she continually pushed to change the venue. People later said it was the prettiest church and wedding they had every seen. On the day of the wedding after I had repeatably stated I wanted it to be laid back and easy going, I had to sit down with the wedding planner and ask her to chill. If you want your event to be totally constructed and run by someone else, I would choose them. But if you have an idea of what you want and have the potential for mature decisions choose Boston Weddings or someone with heart. I hate that I have to write this because the wedding was beautiful but I know it was because of my mother, stepmother and other friends even my husband who found all the venues. Let your wedding be yours you only get one.

We had a ~85 person wedding in Boston which we planned from across the country (in LA) and we…read morewouldn't have been able to do it without Elena and her team. Elena handled all of the booking and management for almost all of our vendors. She kept us on task with everything we needed to do even though my wife & I often missed deadlines. There was an online planner that we collaborated on so we always knew what needed to be done and understood all the moving pieces. Her team handled all of the design and production of everything which made both the event and planning much more carefree. Elena is very knowledgeable with all the different vendors we could work with in every area and was happy to also help us find others when there was something specific we were looking for. On the day of, her was very helpful as things came up to help us adjust the schedule and coordinate with everyone involved. The guests loved all the unique elements that Elena's team help us coordinate and set up like the specialty coffee cart, postcards + mailbox as a guestbook, ramen station for late night food, etc Looking back, we truly got to be present and enjoy our day because Elena and her team had everything under control. Our wedding day ended up even better than we imagined and is undoubtedly one of the best days of our life. If you're planning a wedding, hire Elena - you'll actually get to enjoy your big day!

Fall 2023 Boston wedding around 250 people. Booked for 1 year, ~10k. To be fair it was a hard…read morewedding - cultural nuances with the both of us being out of state and having demanding jobs. Positives: -fair price for full year, set up vendor meetings, good Save the Date designs, good bridal party makeup/hair, wedding painter, and florist suggestions, good communication with maid of honor and best man day of. Problems: - no organization/foresight. She procrastinated booking vendors. Her reasons: unresponsive vendors due to busy wedding season. When my husband or I contacted vendors, we got quick responses. My husband and I booked most vendors. - Aside from Catherine who left, never met other coordinators prior to wedding day. - No running budget of who we owed money to & amount. Did this ourselves. - Frequent loss of info. Most notably, she forgot we had party buses. Then tried to tell us we told her we didn't want party buses. - Save the dates and invitations were sent ~5 months later than deadline. We have guests from out of state and country needing advance notice to make arrangements. So we ordered/mailed save the dates and designed wedding invites ourselves. We got no communication about designs for wedding invites so did it ourselves in contrast to what she claims. - No communication for months. When we asked for weekly meetings, she lied saying it was not included in our package. Pamphlet we were given prior to booking clearly states unlimited meetings for full service. - Elena was unprepared and ~25 min late to the rehearsal. There was traffic and others were late too. Rehearsal was longer than necessary because we repeatedly corrected her. She then blamed me for sending her a "different timeline" even though this was a common shared timeline she made herself. We were ~45 min late for our rehearsal dinner. - On the bus on the way to the ceremony, in front of the entire bridal party Elena asked me about our balance not being paid for the limo. - Elena did not attend the ceremony and we were not aware prior. She stayed at the reception hotel. Our venues were booked one year in advance so all parties were aware of the locations of our ceremony and reception. The coordinators at the ceremony should have attended the rehearsal because they were clueless. Coordinator wasn't aware that she was supposed to cue us from the bus to the church until a bridesmaid told her. She then lined up the wedding party out of order which they fixed themselves. - My cousin was the one who came to church early to turn on lights and heating. - Coordinators gave no instructions to the choir. My husband and his parents walked down the aisle in silence after being told to start by the coordinator. Josh wanted a song to be playing. Later, Elena blamed my husband for going ahead "too early" and said "it happens" when he complained. - After our ceremony ended, there was no signal to walk out. Yes we practiced our entrances/exits but that was more for the order of walking in. There was no music or choir during our rehearsal and even though Elena had the list of songs we were playing for our entrances and exits, you still need to coordinate with the choir. So yes, you DO need a cue in order for the wedding party to exit, as we've seen at other weddings. My priest asked where the coordinators were. Nowhere. After an awkward silence, the choir randomly played music so we could walk out. - Biggest mistake: At the rehearsal, my husband and I emphasized that it was important that wedding party exits church then immediately returns through side doors for pics in the church. When everyone exited the church, the coordinators lied saying that the plan changed with bride approval (how the hell do I give approval while I am in the ceremony?). So all were directed outside without proper instruction. Most left. The coordinators mentioned that there was no time for photos, but we ended up being fine with our schedule. - the coordinators were inside gossiping instead of taking care of the chaos they caused. My bridesmaids + partners coordinated with bus drivers to get everyone off the buses and line people up on the stairs for bubbles. - we were rushed by the coordinators for our post church park photos again because of "time." I didn't pay ~15k to our photo/video just to skip this. - When lining up for the reception, Elena made no effort to find my missing parents. - Elena lined the wedding party up by our church order for the reception entrances. Bridal party and DJ corrected her. Overall the day went fine thanks to our families and friends. I was stressed the whole year. Every time we brought up an issue, it was made to seem like it was our fault or it's normal.

During our initial meeting we went to their warehouse and decided on what we wanted our vibe to be. We had a family friend who was going to put together some floral pieces to use for the mandap and everything seemed great The two stars came off for me during the wedding weekend. The team came to the venue early to set up the mandap and did not even ask us if we wanted to see it and didn't ask for our florals. We were supposed to have an arch, which also hadn't been put up. When I contacted Shruti her response was that we had to put the floral pieces up ourselves as it wasn't in the contract and the previous week the arch fell down so they decided not to put it up. That's the last thing a bride wants to hear at midnight before her wedding day. After I realizing that I was extremely upset, she spoke with my husband, and they agreed to send an employee the next morning to put up the florals, but it totally ruined my night. I also wasn't offered any portion of money back for not having an arch. The decor was beautiful in the end, but I'd have rather gone with someone who wouldn't have put me through that.
