“Since
we were planning the wedding from NY, it was great
to have Alexis working locally. She knew the right
vendors and was flexible in working with us. Alexis’
vendor recommendations were all great. She really
knows how to match people with the right service
and personalities.
There isn’t anything I had hoped for that
she didn’t do. There was a lot that I thought
was above and beyond. A few examples 1) Alexis
decorated the programs by embossing them for us,
which I thought was lovely and unexpected. 2)
At the wedding reception and at the ceremony itself,
it really felt like every time I turned around
thinking that I needed something, either Alexis
or one of her assistants was there. I was truly
grateful for that. It was like they could read
my mind. 3) My broach broke off my dress twice
before I mentioned the problem to Alexis. Once
I did, Alexis was great about sewing it back on
the dress, and it stayed on the rest of the time.
She’s got a great way of paying attention
to details, keeping on top of a situation, and
still always maintaining a calmness that makes
you feel calm, too.
I originally selected Alexis because she had a
broad range of wedding experiences – different
cultures, settings and situations. She doesn’t
do cookie cutter weddings and really helps the
couple make it an experience unique to the couple
and their background and personalities. She proved
to be everything I hoped. Alexis, you really helped
make our day one that will be remembered not just
by us but also by our families. I think the thing
that makes you unique is the diversity of clients
you take. I interviewed others whose portfolios
made it look like they were doing the same wedding
over and over again. I loved that you have done
so many weddings of different tastes, styles,
religions and cultures. I felt like you helped
us put a truly personalized and unique day together
for our guests. (People are still talking about
it up to now and asking when we can do it again.
I can’t believe the older folks stayed until
the last dance!) I feel like you did this by facilitating,
guiding and advising us, rather than by telling
us what to do, how it should be done, etc. You
were never pushy, let us set the agenda, and you
were always available when we needed you. You
always gently pushed us forward when we slowed
down and kept me calm whenever I got a little
nervous. Paul is appreciative as well and feels
hiring you was the best decision he made. (It
was his idea to get help.)”
