This review is incredibly long overdue, but I truly don't think I could ever say enough good things about Alexis and how grateful I am that she was part of our wedding.
When I first started looking for a coordinator, I really thought I only needed someone for the day of the wedding. I remembered meeting a coordinator at a wedding showcase the year before, reached back out, and it turned out to be Alexis. Looking back, that was genuinely one of the best decisions I made throughout the entire wedding planning process.
Alexis came on board about three months before our wedding, and I honestly don't know how we would have done it without her. Our wedding was a completely DIY "backyard wedding" that my husband, our families, and I essentially built from the ground up. We found all of our vendors ourselves through wedding showcases, coordinated countless moving pieces, and put so much of the wedding together personally. As we got closer to the day, there were a million things happening at once.
Alexis immediately took such a huge weight off our shoulders. She contacted all of our vendors, coordinated arrival times, communicated my expectations, confirmed details, and made sure everyone was on the same page. She even caught miscommunications between me and some of my vendors before the wedding, which was invaluable. Having someone I completely trusted take over those conversations allowed my husband and me to focus on everything else we still needed to do.
And then came the wedding day.
I have heard so many brides look back on their weddings and talk about the things that went wrong or the little moments they wish had gone differently. I can genuinely say that I cannot think of ONE thing from our wedding day that did not go according to plan. And if something did go wrong, I never knew about it--which, to me, is the biggest testament to how incredible Alexis and her team are at what they do.
I got to simply enjoy my wedding. I wasn't worrying about vendors arriving, timelines, setup, transitions, or what was happening behind the scenes. Everything just happened the way it was supposed to. When I look back on that day, I don't have memories of being stressed or having to solve problems. I just remember how happy I was, and I will forever be grateful to Alexis for giving me that.
She was so good that even our guests noticed. After the wedding, multiple people specifically mentioned how amazing our coordinator was. One couple who attended had gotten married just a few months before us and unfortunately had the opposite experience with their own coordinator. Because of what they had gone through, they immediately recognized how attentive, organized, and on top of everything Alexis was throughout our wedding.
If I could go back and change one thing about our wedding planning process, it would honestly be hiring Alexis sooner. I initially thought I just needed a day-of coordinator, but now I realize how valuable it would have been to have her involved even earlier.
Alexis, thank you for taking something my family and I spent so much time, love, and energy creating and making sure it all came together exactly the way we envisioned it. You gave my husband and me the ability to actually be present and enjoy the wedding we worked so hard to create, and that is something I will always be grateful for.
I would recommend Alexis without hesitation to absolutely anyone planning a wedding. Hiring her was hands down one of the best decisions we made. read more
