And I had just settled on the french provincial theme for my daughter's baptism. Ali met with me within a few days. We talked about my event and what I envisioned. It seemed in no time at all, she understood perfectly what I was looking for. We quickly started looking at pictures of what I liked. Ali started describing to me the pieces that she had that would work for my event. I was very excited. The only catch was that Ali was due to leave for a 3 week vacation the day after we met. How was I to make the various decisions that were needed? That's why I needed Ali in the first place. Well, Ali reassured me that she would be in touch with me while she was away and we would continue to work together to get done what was needed. Though, I may have to do some legwork in her absence. Ali provided me with contacts for event rentals, photographer and baker. I even sent her pictures of the event spaces I was considering and got her feedback as to which would work with my theme, her experience working with the particular vendor, etc. Upon her return and with one week until my daughter's event, Ali reached out to me and we decided on flowers. And when I say we, it was really Ali. I showed her pictures that I liked. She showed me a picture of an idea. I green-lighted. And she took it from there. She also worked directly with the site events manager to coordinate set up. It really was so easy to work with Ali. I trusted her ability to carry out my vision and her professionalism. With guests coming into town and working and keeping up with a 2 year old and 3 month old, I had enough on my plate. I'm so glad my trust and confidence were rewarded by an absolutely beautiful and spot-on realization of my vision. Recommendations: Cake - Ali recommended Adrian of Kennedy's Kakes to me (https://www.kkakes.com). I cannot say it loud enough...HANDS DOWN THE BEST CAKE I HAVE EVER HAD. And the most delicious and beautiful desserts. This was better that my wedding cake. My guests all ooo'ed and ahh'ed over them all. I had the joy of taking all of the leftovers home with me and enjoying them for the few days after the baptism. The amazing thing is that I never tasted Adrian's cakes before ordering with her. I trusted Ali and I was richly rewarded for it. My taste buds are grateful. Photographer - Ali recommended Sarah of Blue Posie (https://www.facebook.com/blueposie). Sarah was so wonderful to work with. She contacted me in advance and as for the style of pictures that I wanted for the day. She asked for pictures of the key family members and their names. She was prepared with all of this the day of. She captured what I wanted and make it better. And she did so while expecting in just a few weeks and on one of the hottest days of the summer yet. I wanted to be transported to the french countryside on a day a special event is celebrated. And that is what Ali did for me and my guests. I am so grateful. This occasion will never be repeated. Ali's design stole my breath as soon as I stepped into the room and fills me with joy every time I remember the day of my daughter's baptism. Eternally grateful!

Brandy was not only brilliant in making my Halloween themed baby shower come to life, but she took away every ounce of stress that comes with party planning, met my budget requirements and allowed me to actually enjoy my day.
