As the mother of the bride, I was asked by my daughter to coordinate her wedding due to her time limitations and very busy life. I was thrilled to take on the challenge of coordinating the wedding in a very short timeframe of three months. I am fairly creative, a perfectionist and love hosting parties so I thought I could handle this! Around 4 weeks prior to the wedding I realized that I would be spending the day of the actual wedding frantically running around making sure everything was perfect instead of spending it like I should, with my daughter on one of the most special days of her life. So I decided to hire a wedding planner. For anyone thinking of doing this but unsure due to budget constraints (which we were definitely working on a budget) PLEASE reconsider and hire this wedding planner. Allison and I met with Alyssa and loved her. She is knowledgeable, professional and so personable. She understood what we wanted and was very patient with my many questions and strong opinions about the way we wanted the event to go. When I wrote the deposit check for her services I was still concerned that I was paying for something I didn't really need since I had already planned out so much of the event. Was I totally wrong. Alyssa helped me finalize the remaining details and found items we needed at a fraction of the cost. She met with the wedding planner at the hotel and the two of them had everything under control. I came equipped with my pen and paper to take notes but never needed to take one note as Alyssa had it all down. I was really starting to realize that it was a good investment but what really convinced me was the day of the wedding. Alyssa just took charge and by that time I realized how amazing she was and just let her take over (which is usually very difficult for me to do) and I just enjoyed the day with my daughter and the wedding party. Alyssa worked without stopping that day. She made sure everything was exactly where we wanted it and even worked her magic on some things I missed. She was calm, patient and kept me sane that day. She made sure everyone was where they needed to be at the right time and stayed with us through the entire wedding and even helped pack things up at the end. I have told everyone I know that I could not have enjoyed this very special day as much as I did without her. She was truly worth it and the best investment we made. I highly recommend Bellissima Weddings and Alyssa to anyone that wants to enjoy the day instead of spending it attending to the details and challenges that every wedding brings.
Alyssa, you are the best and we thank you for everything!

Alyssa is a phenomenal wedding coordinator. From the start she made sure everything was taken care of and was extremely organized about it. If I ever wanted anything changed she was always very understanding and got it done promptly. She is also creative when it comes to thinking of great ideas such as wedding invitations, favors and flower arrangements. Alyssa always made sure that I got everything that I wanted for my wedding. Once my wedding day finally arrived she was there every step of the way making sure that the day was always about me and she took care of everything. I would reccomend Alyssa because she is experienced, professional and passionate about what she does.

I planned a wedding with Alyssa over just a few months and she was able to get me everything I wanted. Alyssa is very respectful, flexable and knows what she is talking about when it comes to planning a wedding. Her servises were amazing!! I would recommend her to anyone I knew that was getting married. Alyssa always exceeded my needs, expectations and made me feel good about my choices or selections! She always has the most amazing ideas. I was always told that there would be things that go wrong and just not to worry it will all fall into place. That is very true but I honestly had no idea if something did go wrong because Alyssa took care of EVERYTHING! I mean everything! What an amazing person you are ALyssa and thank you for all that you did and all that you are! I will give you a reference anytime!!! Keep in touch...xoxo Meredith
