"My wedding was a wonderful time and seamless. Many people commented that they had never seen a bride and groom enjoy their wedding as much as we did. That was in large part due to Alexis.

By nature, I am a perfectionist and like to have control over everything that I'm involved with. Yet because my mother lives out-of-state and I'm in graduate school, I knew I needed help in planning the wedding. This was especially true since the wedding and reception were held at an estate where everything - including tables and chairs - had to be brought in by outside vendors.

I was surprised by how easy it was for me to turn many of the details over to Alexis. She too is a perfectionist and does her job extremely well. She works only with the best vendors - caterers, florists, photographers, etc. Many of them have won awards for their work and all speak very highly of her. She was also able to develop a timeline that both fit my hectic lifestyle as a student and enabled me to still have a choice of select vendors.

In helping me select my photographer, for example, she gave me a list of about 10 people in different price ranges with differing artistic styles. After looking at their websites and asking for her valued opinion on each, she set up appointments with about five of them. Alexis would accompany me to most of
these meetings, ask questions, and take notes. (I don't think I ever took notes at one of these meetings!) She would then follow-up with me to get my thoughts, offer her suggestions, and follow-up with each photographer. I should say though, that Alexis never forced her opinions on me or tried to sway me to use any particular vendor. Alexis was also very responsive to me. I would often write emails to her at 1 am only to get a response at 2:00 in the morning!

While the planning process was wonderful, she truly shined at the wedding rehearsal and during the wedding itself. From the time I showed up for the rehearsal to the time the wedding ended I had not a worry in the world. Neither did my mother or anyone else. Things will inevitably come up during a wedding but I didn't know about some of the little issues that arose until afterwards and I'm sure that I will never know about others. For instance, my father forgot his wedding ring in the hotel room. When Alexis heard about this (she has eyes and ears everywhere) she sent one of her assistants back to the hotel to get it for him. She pays attention to the smallest detail while keeping the big picture in mind.

I could go on and on, but I hope this gives you a sense of how valued Alexis truly is. Simply stated, I do not believe that there is a better wedding planner."
