What I found most helpful was her expertise of the industry and POV on what she recommended for various things big or small from vendor choices down to drink icons on our bar signs. She handled a lot of the negotiation with vendors and our hotel making sure we were getting the best bang for our buck. I know there was a lot of coordinating and communication she did behind the scenes to the point where I didn't even know about it/have to stress about it. I can't thank her enough for helping make our day more special than I could have ever imagined! We love you, Amy! -Jordan and Sam Schrier

From start to finish, Andrea was an absolute…read morejoy to work with -- always upbeat, responsive, and patient with every random question we threw her way. She offered thoughtful advice and spot-on recommendations for vendors, décor, food, and more. We truly felt cared for throughout the entire process, and on the big day it was so clear how much attention, planning, and heart went into every detail. Andrea connected us with top-tier vendors who exceeded not only our expectations, but our guests' as well. On the wedding day, the ALWE team was incredible -- and Maria, who stayed with me (the bride), was absolutely awesome: fun, calm, and endlessly helpful. The only downside is that it's all over! We can't wait to find another reason to work with Andrea and her amazing team again :)

Words can hardly capture the depth of our gratitude for Andrea Leslie, Noelle Brandt, and the…read morewedding planning team. From the very first conversation, it was clear we weren't just working with a professional--we had found someone who genuinely cared about us, our story, and making our day unforgettable. Andrea Leslie Weddings and Events team were more than organized, more than detail-oriented--they were emotionally invested. Every email, every meeting, every little touch felt personal. It was like having a trusted friend guiding us through one of the most important times of our lives. They anticipated needs we didn't even know we had. They held space for our nerves, smoothed out last-minute hiccups without us ever knowing, and created a celebration that was so true to who we are. From the delicate placement of flowers to the timing of the ceremony, every moment felt intentional, thoughtful, and deeply meaningful. Our guests are still raving about how seamless and heartfelt everything felt. But the truth is, the most beautiful part was how Andrea and Noelle made us feel: supported, seen, and genuinely cared for. This wasn't just a job to them. This was a calling--and it showed. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for helping us begin our marriage with so much love, joy, and grace. You gave us a day we'll never forget--and a memory we'll cherish forever.

Tara is excellent, and honestly she was critical in making our wedding so special. We had her for…read more"day-of coordination" and she made it 100% painless. Starting a few weeks before the wedding, we handed over our plans to her and she reviewed everything and asked questions to make sure she know what we wanted. Her years of experience made her an excellent advisor on the last minute details, and there were at least two or three things we wouldn't have thought to plan for, but she knew. Here's an example of why she is great: what if your bartender thought the end time was 10pm, but we thought it was 11pm? And, by the way, it's 9:45 and they want to do last call. Tara is right there - she knew this was about to happen because the bartender had been coordinating with her all night, she knew our plan was 11pm, and so she approached us very calmly and quietly and asked if we meant to close it at 10pm. We said no, we thought it was 11pm and people were still having fun, so could we keep it open until 10:30 or 11 as planned? Off she went off and took care of it without another word or input from us. It took us seconds, not minutes of negotiating with the bartender, so we could get back to partying. All night, she kept track of time, kept track of vendors, set up those final details we didn't have time to setup, and many, many other unseen things we may never know about. At the end of the night, she had everything we were taking with us packed up, including leftover food and cake, so when the driver called her to say he was ready for us, she could let us know. When we were ready, she made sure we got the things we wanted to take and off we went. Throughout the whole day, we had nothing to worry about except enjoying the wedding. It was one of the best decisions we made, and I would do it again no matter our budget!

She handled a last minute change in DJ beautifully. The rehearsal went smoothly and she was able to take the decorations the night before in her truck. She understood where the decorations went and made the event beautiful with the flowers, and lit the candles. We had trouble with too much moisture on the bottom deck of our wedding cake and it collapsed! Tara rearranged the cake and basically redecorated it with my toppers along with my sister to still make it look beautiful last minute! And there was still cake left over. She helped with clean-up and last minute arrangements with the vendors. She had recommendations for saving money. Thanks Tara for making it special!

She was so helpful throughout the planning process. We were having a destination wedding and she was able to meet us at our venue in Sedona, and then at the rental company location to pick out all of our rentals. At both the venue and rental company, Cara jumped to action and immediately started visualizing the event, taking notes as to where everything would be set up, and providing great suggestions. I remember after we were finished at the rental company, my husband and I were driving back to Phoenix and we both felt so relieved to have Cara helping us. We realized that she had a plethora of knowledge and she made sure that we wouldn't be over-paying for anything. There were many emails and several phone conversations with Cara, and she was always ready to answer any questions that I had. I was not the least bit worried about the coordination of things for wedding day. Cara was well organized, and made sure she was well prepared and informed on our vendors, timeline, wedding party and guests of honor, music selections, decoration placement, and everything else you could imagine. She was also very good at keeping documentation of conversations, sent emails, and other pertinent information regarding the vendors. Her preparedness helped out immensely when there were a couple of snags that happened on wedding day. If the aforementioned doesn't convince you that you need to have A Day to Cherish in your wedding planning life, Cara went above and beyond even after we got married! While we were on honeymoon for 3 weeks she worked on resolving an issue we had with the transportation vendor. She emailed us progress updates, which made it easy for us to continue where she left off when we returned. I can only imagine how busy Cara must be, so for her to help us out after our wedding was absolutely amazing!

After meeting up with her, my gut feeling said she will do a good job, but no... she did an AMAZING job! Farrrr surpass my expectations. What I envisioned, she created it, made it happen, and making my wedding so beautiful and very memorable, for myself and guests. Julie is extremely professional, quick on responses, and is just a wonderful person in general! I did flowers and chair rentals with her, but her company, Simply Elegant, does more than that, offering wedding planning/ coordinating services, decorating services, and more. Bottom line is you cannot go wrong with Julie; you'll be more than pleased because Julie will try to make your dream wedding come true. At least, for me, it was certainly perfect and truly SIMPLY ELEGANT!!!!! Thank you Julie!!!!!

I had a vision for what I wanted the florals to look like for my wedding. Before meeting with Julie, I met with at least 5 florists. I very clear in expressing my ideas. All of the florists took over two weeks send me the proposal. They quoted me by the flower--each flower costing a certain amount which always ended up being wayyyy over my budget. When they finally sent me the proposal it was nothing like I pictured. When I would ask them to revise it, they would either tell me what I was asking for couldn't be done or they wouldn't even respond to me. ALL of that changed when I met Julie. I contacted her and she responded almost immediately. She asked me to send her pictures of ideas I had. By the time of our first meeting she already understood my style and had even more suggestions for me that were beautiful! She had the proposal done the same day and worked within my budget. She doesn't stem count so I got more flowers than in any of the other proposals for much, much cheaper. She even custom made one of my centerpieces. She has such a fantastic eye and is so experienced that she made everything more beautiful then I even thought possible! But Julie is so much more than a florist! Even though she wasn't my wedding planner (I already had one by the time I met Julie) she treated me like I was one of her brides. She constantly checked on me. When I had an issue with anything for my wedding, she went out of her way to find a solution. She was with me every step of the way and she made me feel so special and truly made my wedding planning process stress free. She is the best! I am SO thankful I found Julie.
