11/10 experience! We cannot recommend Alesha enough! Planning a destination wedding from Southern California to Cabo could have easily felt stressful and overwhelming, but Alesha made the entire experience the complete opposite for us. From the very beginning, she was incredibly organized, responsive, and thoughtful, guiding us through every step of the process over the past 11 months. What truly set Alesha apart was her energy and personality. She is so warm, friendly, and genuinely passionate about what she does. Instead of feeling anxious and stressed while planning such a big event from afar, she made us feel excited, supported, and full of joy the entire time! Alesha truly brought our vision to life and gave us the wedding of our dreams. Every detail was beautifully executed, and our entire wedding weekend flowed seamlessly all thanks to her. Being able to fully enjoy our wedding without worrying about logistics was the greatest gift she could have given us. If you're considering working with Alesha with De la Planning, 100% do it! She goes above and beyond for her couples, and it truly felt like she took care of ours like it was her own -- with exceptional attention to detail and commitment to give us the best two days of our lives. We are forever grateful we had her by our side for such a special milestone. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for everything Alesha! We love you dearly!! Xx, Aubrey & Cristian de Vincenzo read more

Alesha planned our wedding at the Waldorf Astoria in Monarch Beach, and we honestly couldn't have asked for a more perfect experience! From our first meeting, Alesha really took the time to understand our vision, our style, and what was most important to us. She handled every detail with such professionalism, from managing vendors to making sure everything ran smoothly on the day. Alesha and her team are problem-solvers, and people you can genuinely trust with one of the most important days of your life. We're forever grateful for everything she did to make our wedding day unforgettable. We can't recommend her enough! read more

Hiring Alesha and her team to be our wedding planner was the BEST decision ever. Alesha made the entire process extremely stress-free and fun!! Our wedding day could not have been more perfect - and I cannot tell you how many compliments we got from everyone that attended. It was amazing. I highly recommend her and would hire her to plan any event - not just weddings. 10/10. read more

Where to even begin?! Being able to work with Maegan and the De La Planning team has been absolutely incredible. To start it off, our wedding day could not have been more perfect. We looked into day of coordinators as our venue required one. Little did I know, coming across Maegan was the best thing for me & (my now) husband. Not only was the day of seamlessly perfect, she helps out 6 weeks in advance. When I tell you I am super organized and can be type A, relinquishing all the planning I had done is not easy. But Maegan made me feel so confident and lifted so much off my shoulders. It allowed me to be so present the weeks leading up to the big day and really soak in every second of our wedding. My husband and I continue to rave about Maegan and the team even weeks (months!) after our wedding. Truly, there are not enough words to explain how wonderful, organized and creative Maegan is. read more

de la Planning - Wedding Planning Near Me

I worked with Maegen as a partial coordinator. She was the best and I am so happy that I had the chance to work with her. She was always quick to answer any questions I had and offer any guidance. As it got closer to our wedding she handled everything seamlessly. There were times I had to look into things and she would offer without even being asked. I truly felt so at ease the days leading up to the wedding knowing she and the de la planning team had everything under control. Kyla was my personal bridal assistant and she was great as well. She had a great attitude and was with me the whole night for anything I needed. I would highly recommend de la planning and I cannot speak highly enough of them! read more

Since our first interaction with Alesha, she was professional, attentive, and knowledgeable. She was so prompt with her response and her social media and website page reflected the attention to detail that she puts forth in her work. Once we began working on our event, we were so glad to have Alesha on our vendor team. She noticed details that simply a professional would notice. She helped us make our big day unforgettable while at the same time listening and taking into account our priorities. The day of our wedding was so smooth thanks to Alesha and her assistants, Kyla and Auzien. Anything we needed, the team was there to support us and answer any questions. We (bride, groom, family, wedding party) were all able to enjoy ourselves because we were confident that Alesha would execute our vision at the venue. Throughout the entire event, Alesha went above and beyond to not only attend to us but also our family and guests and that meant the world to us! read more

I knew Alesha had worked for Event Coordinating Companies, but when I saw that she opened up her own Wedding Planning business, I was beyond excited, because I knew I needed her! It was the BEST decision I made. She absolutely knew what she was doing and what needed to be done. I could finally let go and hand her the reins so I didn't have to stress. All my vendors said she had the best Timeline they've ever seen, and it flowed perfectly and it showed too! The day of the rehearsal, I got there stressed and crying, and she was right there talking to me letting me know it's ok and to get it all out now. I'm not the only bride to cry the day before. After that it was smoothing sailin. We got through the Rehearsal on a very hot day in the sun minus a few wedding party members that didn't show up...Alesha was right there and made sure I knew she would fill them in day of. Wedding day was a bit stressful due to the groomsmen not staying in their place so us girls could take our pictures outside, but Alesha and her assistant, Selina were right on top of it, making sure they ushered them back to their place and didn't roam around again, even though a few got away. After that everything else went off without a hitch and I can't thank Alesha enough for it! She truly did an amazing job with setting up all the decorations and making sure the ceremony was perfect and the reception went as planned. Both her and Selina worked perfectly together, making sure we had everything we needed, if my drink was out, it was replaced immediately (open bar) :) I wouldn't have been able to pull off my wedding by myself, I'm so glad I hired Alesha because she did an amazing job, so detail oriented, on top of everything wedding planner. Perfect! If you're looking for a wedding planner, look no further. Don't get turned off by her home base down south, she travels and does amazing work here in the Bay Area! read more

Where do I even start!!! Alesha and her team are the definition of professionalism, thoroughness, and reliability. You can almost think of them as fairy godmothers making Brides dreams come true. I used Alesha and her team for my wedding 7.13.19 she worked with me for day of planning. She kept me on tract helped me keep organized and thanks to that, my wedding day was FLAWLESS. Thank you Alesha you are AMAZING!! Words can't express how grateful I am to have found you! Thank you!!!! read more

I had the absolute pleasure of having Alesha plan our wedding. It is difficult to come up with words to describe just how AMAZING she is. In addition to everything running as smooth as butter, she is a wonderful and hilarious human being. I could not have asked for a better outcome to our wedding. Truly spectacular service, attention to detail, creative ideas and solutions to anything that came up. Thank you thank you thank you, Alesha, for everything that you have done for us. I would give you 7 stars if I could. - Josh Di Guido read more

My now husband didn't understand the importance of a "day of coordinator" when we were first booking our wedding vendors - and now he can't stop raving about how much of a rockstar she was! Alesha took over all vendor communications weeks before the wedding and handled every single thing during the wedding weekend! As a planner myself, I thought it would be hard to let go, but she made me feel so confident that she had everything under control. And that she did! I can't imagine a more smooth wedding day! Alesha is worth every single penny!! We had the best day and didn't have to worry about logistics because Alesha was there to guide us - and all other wedding party, family, friends and vendors - through the day! We are so thankful! read more

de la Planning - Wedding Planning Near Me

We had an amazing wedding day thanks to Alesha and her team. From the first day we met, we knew that she was the right coordinator for us. It was evident to us that she was passionate about wedding planning and enjoyed it too! She always made us feel comfortable and relaxed. If we had any concern or worry she knew exactly how to address it or what to say to reassure us. The same went for the actual wedding day, when everything went smoothly and flawlessly. She created a timeline that flowed very well and her entire team was there to assist us every step of the way. We are forever grateful for her efforts as it was truly a memorable day. read more

If you are looking for a wedding or event planner, look no further than Alesha!! I had the privilege of hiring her to be my month-of coordinator, and I cannot emphasize enough what an incredible job her and her team did! Not only is she a thoughtful and genuine person, but she runs her business professionally and ensures every little detail is accounted for. From the day we had our final venue meeting, she took my ideas and guidance and ran with it! She became the point of contact between the venue and all vendors, and planned out each detail from the wedding timeline, to when the cake would be delivered and who would be folding the table napkins! Her staff was incredible as well, tending to our guests and bridal party's every need! My entire wedding day, and weekend for that matter, I felt calm and really was able to enjoy that special time surrounded by friends and family all without a care in the world because I knew Alesha had everything covered. And coming from a Type A organizer like myself, I can honestly say I have never felt that way heading into a big event before! Our entire wedding went off without a hitch and we could not be more grateful for Alesha and her team. I would hire her over and over again and am so grateful we had the opportunity to have her as such an integral part of our special day. read more

Alesha was by far the best person we could have hired for our big day. Everything was absolutely flawless. She helped plan our wedding in 6 short months and she pulled things together to make our caviar taste match our very mindful budget. She made our vision her biggest priority. I'm so happy we trusted her with our big day because she thought about so many little things we never would've expected or looked into ourselves. The best part about her services was that on the day of the wedding I didn't have a single worry! I truly enjoyed our day, I was calm and overwhelmed with joy and all that was on my mind was marrying my best friend. It was such a great feeling to watch everything pan out perfectly throughout the event, from the decorations to the schedule to managing the vendors, it was all flawless. Also, the team she hired to help assist on the big day was very sweet, efficient, and professional. Alesha has a confident ease that is always very relieving and she takes care of things before it even crosses your mind. She is also very easy to reach by text, phone call, and/or email and responds very quickly. Thank you Alesha! We are so thankful for your and your services. read more

Elizabeth and I would like to thank you for being a fantastic wedding planner. You were instrumental in helping us create our dream wedding! You were great from beginning to end with all of the big and small details. Additionally, you were professional, courteous, pleasant, proactive and enjoyable to work with. We didn't know all of the intricate details that went into wedding planning and you really helped to bring so many moving parts together to work seamlessly. Our wedding day went quite smoothly because of all of the behind the scenes planning and execution. We were able to enjoy our wedding day with our guests and everything was executed amazingly well. We received countless feedback from our guests on how much they enjoyed the wedding and how well planned it was. Thank you Alesha for being such a big part of our special day. We really appreciate you and all of your help! Now, you get to help create so many new special wedding days with future newlyweds. Jeff & Elizabeth read more

My husband and I had the pleasure of being a part of Alesha's styled shoot a while back and it was a dream! Alesha is a pleasure to work with. We didn't get wedding photos, so the pictures from this shoot are what we have and they could not have turned out better. Alesha coordinated the ENTIRE shoot and every detail was executed to perfection. All we had to do was show up! I can only imagine how incredible Alesha is in her element coordinating and operating a real wedding. I highly recommend Alesha and know that you will not be let down by such a meticulous, cheerful, and all around amazing person! read more

Hiring Alesha for our wedding was hands down the best decision I could have ever made while planning our wedding. Not only is she organized, professional, and incredibly talented at what she does-- she is just a straight up GEM! She's so sweet, so caring, and so much fun! From the moment I met with her I could tell she was ultra passionate about her job. I knew that she loved her couples and her mission was to make their wedding perfect and stress free (which is exactly what she did for us on our big day). As a budget conscience DIY Bride, I can confidently say that every wedding should AT LEAST have day-of-coordination. If you are a bride reading this now, I highly encourage you to hire her immediately!!! Honestly, if could go back in time, I would cut the budget short elsewhere, so I could have had Alesha help with the the entire planning of the wedding. Her professional input and experience would have saved a lot of time (and probably money) in the end. I made the mistake of thinking that we could handle everything on our own-- only to realize a couple months out from the wedding that I was VERY wrong and should probably look into hiring a professional. I thought about asking family to help, but wisely realized that our family and friends are our guests too. We wanted them all to be able to relax and enjoy our wedding (which again is exactly what they did because of Alesha). The entire day we ALL felt SO stress free and SO at ease. A couple weeks leading up to the wedding, she took over contact with all vendors and curated a super detailed timeline down to the minute that made the flow of the wedding work seamlessly. Alesha and her team handled everything from the big things-- like setup, timing, and coordination of vendors, all the way down to the little things like making sure we ate, making sure people were where they needed to be when they needed to be, and even helped carry my flowers so I could focus on not snapping my ankles walking through the vineyards in my tall heels. Alesha went above and beyond what any coordinator would ever do, wearing so many different hats. I truly could go on and on about all the amazing things she did to make sure our day was perfect. So many of our guests mentioned what a great job she did and many of the vendors mentioned that she was the best coordinator they have ever worked with. I can't thank Alesha enough for every hour, minute, and second she dedicated to making our wedding the best day of our lives!!!! I would highly recommend and encourage anyone getting married to hire DeLa Planning! read more

I have so many great things to say about Alesha and her team, It's hard to organize this into a single review... but the main thing is that Alesha was without a doubt the perfect coordinator for us and we would absolutely recommend her to anyone planning their wedding. We had about 6 months to plan our wedding, which seemed like a lot of time at first but it went by so quickly. My (now) husband and I were pretty chill with our decision making and not too picky about what we wanted. On the wedding day she had two assistants who were both wonderful and their team made sure our day ran flawlessly. Alesha as a person: -So sweet and friendly, I wanted to be her friend from the beginning -Calm and organized, which is so helpful during this hectic time. No idea how she stays on top of everything -Genuine and truly cares about bringing your wedding vision to life -Professional and has great communication skills! The planning process: -We had a general idea of what we wanted, and Alesha guided our thinking to plan out the details (like layout, wedding traditions we wanted included, timing of special dances at our receptions, etc) -Asked the right questions to my vendors, one's that I wouldn't have thought to ask -Helped me word emails to vendors -Double checked my contracts -Sent me recommendations for bakers and found me a great deal after our original baker discontinued the flavors we wanted -Helped problem solve when we were stuck on decisions (for example, when looking for reception candles she found an option that was half the cost of the original ones we were looking at!) -Responded to all my questions promptly -Literally planned every detail -Created a super detailed timeline and communicated with all the vendors involved in the set up and take down of the day Wedding day: -I surprisingly experienced no stress on my wedding day, and was amazed with how effortlessly the day went according to the timeline. It was really fun and cool to see everything play out as we had planned -We had a day-of rehearsal which went super smooth because Alesha explained/communicated everything effectively -My bridesmaids and I brought a bottle of Martinelli's apple cider which we didn't think to bring a bottle opener for, but Alesha came to the rescue literally 10 seconds after we found out we needed one -There were little changes made throughout the day, which was no problem because Alesha made it happen -All the vendors were communicating with Alesha and her assistants throughout the day so everyone was on the same page and knew what was expected -Alesha fixed problems that came up, and I didn't even know about them until after the wedding -My hair and makeup artists said she was the best coordinator they've ever worked with! Even now I think back to our wedding day and think about how lucky we are that we found Alesha. She is truly one of a kind. read more

I am incredibly thankful to Alesha and De la Planning for our wedding. From the moment we had our consultation I knew I wouldn't have to worry or stress about anything wedding-related. She helped with all of the vendors and made things run so smoothly that I was able to actually enjoy our wedding and wedding weekend. Not only did she help plan our wedding once, but she helped with two postponements due to COVID and I cannot tell her thank you enough. She is a total professional, highly communicative and compassionate. We had a small intimate wedding but still absolutely needed her expertise. Alesha missed no details and was amazing to work with. I am forever grateful! read more

Let me start off by saying, not all wedding coordinators are created equal. Before I found the gem that is Alesha, my husband and I had met with other potential coordinators that gave off money hungry vibes paired with not-so-genuine personalities. There was even a point where I felt so discouraged and didn't think I would be able to find a coordinator that was real, down-to-earth, and truly had a passion for their job. Cue Alesha. From our first meeting all the way to our wedding day, Alesha handled absolutely everything from being all our vendors point of contact, down to the nitty gritty details. She did it all with a can-do attitude and was always there for us no matter what. I honestly could not have imagined my wedding day without her and her wonderful team - Their professionalism and ability to stay calm in what can sometimes be stressful situations, was worth every single penny. Thank you, Alesha! read more

de la Planning - Wedding Planning Near Me

If I could give De La Planning 100 stars, I would. Alesha and her team are incredible! I had a very clear vision of what I wanted our New Year's Eve wedding to be, and Alesha was the perfect person to execute it. She's more detail-oriented than I am (which I didn't know was possible) so it meant my family and I could breathe a huge sigh of relief on my wedding day. The strap of my wedding dress even broke during our grand entrance into the reception! You know who saved the day - Alesha. She kept me calm while we jerry-rigged my wedding dress. We were able to enjoy every single moment of our NYE celebration and it's all thanks to the work Alesha and her team put into it. For all the things we planned for (and then the things we certainly couldn't see coming!), it felt great to be in such capable hands. Thank you x a million, Alesha!!! read more

I found Alesha through the FB group, Something Borrowed, Something New. She was the only cooridnator I spoke with and hired without having met her. Here's my feedback. I can't say enough great things about Alesha. PLANNING: - She took the time to get to know me, the bride, as well as our love story, how we met, how my husband proposed, etc. - Can't stress enough that even though we hired her as day-of-coordinator, she went above and beyond checking in me with a couple months out and as we got closer and closer to the wedding to make sure I was on top of all the details - My husband and I went to get our engagement photos done ~4 months before the wedding and our photographer said that Alesha's already keeping in touch and excited to work with her for our wedding and it meant so much knowing that Alesha was already connecting with our vendors, introducing herself to them so far out. - At our design meeting with our venue, she came prepared with a drafted timeline with questions to ask the venue to make sure she knew who would be providing what and what was needed from her and her team - She by far has such an amazing personality, so much love for her clients and absolutely loves her job and it clearly shows in her professional and attention to detail in all aspects of wedding planning. -She completely made my life easier, especially from the day we had our design meeting. She made contact with all my vendors, made sure she got their COIs, finalized our timeline for us, thought everything through down to every minute detail like which napkin fold we wanted, things I didn't even think we needed to think about. REHEARSAL: - She was punctual, introduced herself to everyone who came, even those not part of the wedding party, got to know our friends and family and also got down to business, guiding and assuring everyone of where they needed to be and what they needed to do. - Made sure to see how we packed the décor in the cars so she could make sure to replicate when it came time to load everything back up. Also wanted to make sure she knew how I wanted things to be done, decorated, and placed throughout the venue. - I went up to my MIL and told her I forgot the fake bouquet she made me from the wedding shower. Alesha reached into her bag, pulled out real bouquet of flowers and said "I got you girl." SO AMAZING! WEDDING DAY: - My girls and I got ready at a hotel vs. the venue and she came up hours early to stop by mine and my husband's hotel (we stayed in different hotels night before) so she and one of her assistants could introduce themselves to the group and drop off doughnuts. - I completely trusted Alesha and her team as well as my vendors to setup and do an amazing job and everything came out beautifully. Better than I could've thought. Her and her team was constantly checking in on us to see how we were doing, making sure we had everything we needed, but still getting things done around the venue. - During photos, one of her assistants, Meagan, stayed by us the entire time, had drinks ready for us in case we got thirsty and made sure to sweep my hair in the right position and flare my train so it always looked good. Everyone noticed how professional, kind, friendly and attentive they were to not only us but to the guests and my husband and I received so many compliments on them. Alesha was truly a blessing for us. We couldn't have done our wedding without her. We were able to be carefree and enjoy our day, feel special and be pampered by her and her team. Best assistants ever, Meagan and Carrie. Those girls were truly amazing. Best team ever. read more

She was the best ever!!!! She responded quickly and timely to any email, txt, or phone call. We had a pretty rowdy wedding party that she was able to handle sternly that way I didn't have to worry or stress. We had a lot of moving parts to our wedding that she organized perfectly. Everything was one time and ran soooo smoothly!!!!! I can say so much more but She and her team were so amazing and made our special day PERFECT!!!!!!!!! We LOVE HER and would recommend her 100% !!!!!! read more

I love how organized and prepared Alesha is! She came to our event and had everything we needed. She also brands herself so well. I love that Alesha stayed calm, and professional even when we got a little off the timeline. Somehow she managed to make sure everything was executed so well! Id highly recommend you hire her for your event! read more

Alesha actually came into my life after my wedding but I wish she was our wedding planner for our day! I had the pleasure of working with her on a styled wedding shoot and after talking I told her that I wasn't 100% (actually not even 60%) satisfied with the photos we got from that day and she totally empathized with me and offered for my husband and I to be the "models" for her next shoot. It was truly fate that I met this sweet soul because she worked complete magic to get TWO incredible photographers and other vendors to work with us and redo our wedding photos...including the ones with my mom! She took complete control in styling the shoot, which was breathtaking, and even got us into use our wedding venue again! I can't express enough how helpful and professional this girl is. She did not have to do any of this for me, a complete stranger, yet she made all of my wedding photo dreams come true. It just goes to show how passionate about this industry she is. If i could go back in time and book her for our wedding day I absolutely would! Thank you for everything, Alesha! read more

For starters, Alesha is ONE OF A KIND! She is so incredibly talented, organized, and detail oriented. I had a vision in my head and Alesha executed it flawlessly. In addition, she's one of the hardest working women I know and she is so passionate about her work. I will 100% be hiring Alesha again for all of my planning needs read more

I have met a lot of hard working people in my life but Alesha is at the top of the list! This girl is a hustler and will do whatever it takes to get to where she wants to be. She has put in the hours to learn and practice and experience the wedding industry and since she started de la Planning, I have seen her do nothing but succeed. I am a fellow wedding professional (planner also) and I believe it is important to forge strong relationships within our industry to build a support system. Alesha is part of that support system for me and I am so thankful to be able to have a reliable colleague to refer clients to when I am already booked or unavailable. Having her on your team is one of the best decisions you can make. She will take time to understand your vision, she will carefully walk with you through the process, and when your special day comes, Alesha makes sure that the day is perfect from start to finish. Reach out to her ASAP!!! read more

Planning a wedding during COVID was definitely difficult especially with all the uncertainties, but since our first meeting with Alesha we knew she would relieve the stress that comes with planning a wedding. We had met with other planners but none were as accommodating and understanding as she was. She based her services on our needs. During our venue search appointments she always knew all the right questions to ask and was always one step ahead. She is very detailed and organized. She was awesome with communicating with all our other vendors as well. They also complimented her work to me. They all appreciated how detailed her timeline was. I can't even begin to express how amazing she was the day off! She arrived to our hotel room and was so attentive to all our bridal party and family members present. She was constantly checking in on me making sure I had something to snack on or drink since my nerves wouldn't let me eat lol. I also appreciated how she scheduled alone time for my husband and I at the reception before our grand entrance. I was able to enjoy the night with no worry because I knew Alesha would take care it! Before I knew it the night was over and she had taken care of organizing clean up. I recommend Alesha for any and all event planning services! She is patient, detailed, organized, communicative and professional. Everything you need in a planner! :) read more

YES YES YES! I got married July 19th and it's taken me a little while to write something because I've been so busy but I LOVE ALESHA!!! If you are looking for day of or someone to plan your wedding, ALESHA is your girl, this is NOT A DRILL! Her and her team were so professional and so on point it was unbelievable. A lot of people think "oh yeah coordinators or planners don't do much the day of" but let me tell you, there was so much stuff that needed to be HANDLED and it's not the brides job to worry. She did SUCH an amazing job and is also the sweetest thing of my entire life, but will put her foot down and be firm, which I loved! Thank you thank you thank you for everything you did for Mathew & I and being able to have you for our special day! read more

Choosing Alesha as my day of coordinator was a no brainer! Alesha has a ton of experience and that was made apparent through her confident decision making and ability to provide great advice on any topic I threw her way. From the very first meeting, I could tell that Alesha was 100% focused on my vision. She was organized and took lots of notes as I babbled in excitement. From that moment on, Alesha kept track of all of my tasks (including small items). She seamlessly took over the communication with my vendors, kept me 100% on track and even brought up things I never would have thought about! I changed my mind about A FEW things (i.e. first look vs not) and she was quick to respond with a smile, great attitude and lots of support. On the day of, I had not a single care in the world! I am sure not everything went as planned, but I had no clue because Alesha and her assistant handled everything behind the scenes. It was a dream. I loved working with Alesha for many reasons, but most importantly she is kind, down to earth and has a very calming energy about her. There are a lot of emotions surrounding weddings/planning and having an assertive, yet calm coordinator is key. She is genuine and it is so obvious that she wants her bride and groom to be happy more than anything!! There are endless things I could say about working with Alesha. She was amazing! read more

Organization, Passion, Effectiveness. Without Dela Planning and their mastermind Alesha, our wedding day would have been very disorganized and stressful. From the time that we selected Alesha to coordinate our wedding, she promptly started going over all of the big details with us and even was able to walk through the venue with us to really help us envision the wedding. From there, she was in constant communication with us and scheduled different meetings to go over what needed to be done for the wedding. She put together layouts of the venue and was in constant communication with out suppliers to make sure that everything would fit just right and that it would all go smoothly. She also utilizes a talented network of wedding professionals to get the job done. We could tell that this is her passion because of how much she wanted to make the day perfect. On the day of Alesha and her team made sure that we were okay for the entire day and got to the venue early to prepare. The day flawlessly transitioned and Alesha made great decisions to improvise when necessary without any stress. Her positivity and good attitude made it easy for us to relax the entire day and we did not experience any nerves. She truly has a talent for event planning and we highly recommend her. read more
