    Polka Dot is a WONDER-Best decision I ever made

    Allie, who runs the Philly branch of PDot, is incredible. I hired her for full planning services about a year out from my wedding (Nov 2022). She helped source every vendor with creativity and organization and the calmest coolest demeanor. We started planning during covid and she helped us navigate contracts as well as help translate experiences that once were done in person into a more digital state. I had a pretty specific vision for our wedding and Allie executed 100% on it. She got me my dream vendors and introduced me to vendors I didn't know I was missing. She has every connection you need for your perfect wedding. Walking into the day everything was exactly how I had pictured it in my mind. I can't say enough good things about this company! Allie has not only the creativity and the vision, but the organizational skills, the connections, the patience, the foresight, like just literally everything was amazing. No random question too small. She was so responsive and caring. Day of ran so smoothly I didn't need to worry or be on top of anything because Allie and her team were there. I wish I could have 10 more weddings just so I could plan them with her.

    The BEST planner we could ask for

    Allie and the whole Polka Dot team were an absolutely indispensable part of our wedding. We hired them later in the process after having postponed our wedding and realizing that we were agonizing over small details that we wanted a professional’s help with. We decided on their month-of service to best suit what we needed. The month-of hand-off meeting and walk through put our minds completely at rest, and since Allie had so much experience working with our venue (the Foundry) she knew exactly all the options for use of the space. This turned out to be even more crucial as the weather forecast took a turn for the cold and we ended up having to move dinner from outside to inside the week before the wedding. Allie worked extensively with us on a completely new seating plan and layout plan, updated the rentals order, and helped us figure out all the dominoes so we had a completely smooth lead-up. During the day itself, Allie was a great wrangler and made sure that we didn’t have to worry about anything. Allie’s assistant Marjorie was also incredible, making sure I was hydrated and had a warm layer and had snacks throughout. We felt so at ease with Allie and her team and can’t thank them enough. If you are hesitating at all in working with Allie or with a planner in general, it’s absolutely 1000% worth it.

    Wedding of our dreams

    How do you adequately sum up *years* of working on a massive project together? But I’ll try. We originally reached out to Polka Dot after our venue (Gather Greene in upstate New York) recommended them, and we knew they had worked on a wedding that was essentially my benchmark for what I wanted for our own big event. We spoke to many, many planners, but eventually settled on Polka Dot because, a) as my sister the producer says, *always* go with the reference and their style seemed very aligned with what we were going for, and b) our initial conversation with Allie and Mandy gave us great confidence in how on top of things they would be. And they delivered the absolute 350% perfect wedding weekend. Since our primary planner Mandy was on maternity leave for much of the early stages of planning, we got to work with several members of the Polka Dot team. Early on, Allie was there at the drop of a hat, willing to get on the phone pretty much any time of day to talk me off the ledge regarding picking this vendor or that, and help us through the often murky waters of balancing quality and budget. When it came to designing the aesthetics, Tracey couldn’t have nailed more perfectly the natural, but elevated, vision we had. Every. Little. Detail. Was perfect—even down to the table numbers which Tracey and her husband hand crafted themselves by spray painting home address numbers and affixing them to wooden blocks to create the coolest, prettiest little details. And when my hair trial went horribly awry relatively last minute (we had to book hair/makeup folks sight unseen because vendors for 2022 were booking fast and we lived across the country in California and couldn’t travel during the early days of the pandemic) Tracey didn’t miss a beat in finding an alternative option, negotiating us out of our original contract, and alleviating all the anxiety I had about switching gears last minute. (I LOVED my new hair guru.) And then the weekend came. The weekend we had worked so hard to create, and we could NOT have been in better hands with Mandy and her assistants. My sister is a producer and often says that her job goes unappreciated because if you do it well, no one notices how much work you put into everything going perfectly smoothly. Well I’m here to say if you do it *exceptionally* well, not does everything go smoothly, but people also notice what a fantastic job you did pulling it all off. *Both* sets of parents couldn’t stop raving about Mandy—how prepared they felt to walk down the aisle, how they knew exactly where to go to do their speeches, how rain or shine they just knew everything would go off without a hitch. And guest after guest approached us all weekend long with essentially the same comments— “your planners are ON TOP OF IT.” I’ve heard a million times over that *something* will go wrong on your wedding day. That no matter how hard you work or prepare, there will be *something* that goes awry and you just have to let go of perfection. Well, thanks to Mandy and her team, that just wasn’t true. The whole weekend was sheer perfection. And we’re *very* particular people with *very* high standards. If anything at all went wrong, we had no clue. No one did. And though we definitely didn’t have the budget to pick the most expensive vendor in every category, we felt like Polka Dot helped us compile the VERY best team of vendors. We’ve gotten so many compliments about having the best food, drinks, music, venue, decor, even down to the *welcome bag snacks* which people couldn’t stop raving about. And honestly, biased or not, we’d have to agree. It was the absolute perfect weekend, and we were so grateful to have the whole Polka Dot team behind us to pull it off.

    The best planning team imaginable!

    Where to begin about Allie and her team?? Working with Polka Dot was an absolute lifesaver for my husband and me, and from our very first phone call with Allie we knew that she was the perfect wedding planner for us!! Allie is not only incredibly organized, talented, and kind, but she is also calming, funny, and excellent at working with all personalities. Throughout our 18-month wedding planning process, she was highly responsive and detailed, which kept us on track and made the planning process much more enjoyable. We always looked forward to talking to her, and she was extremely flexible with different design ideas and last-minute changes. My husband and I are very busy, but while working with Allie we viewed the wedding planning process as fun and enjoyable rather than stressful. Our friends and family could not believe we were not more overwhelmed, but it truly is because all of the heavy lifting was handled by Allie!! On the day of our wedding, Allie's team was incredibly organized, professional, fun, and well-managed. They kept our wedding day running smoothly despite needing to coordinate nearly a dozen different vendors. My husband and I had the absolute best wedding day and weekend we could ever have imagined, and in large part it is due to Allie and the remainder of the team at Polka Dot!! We cannot recommend them highly enough!!!

    Best Choice I made

    Hiring Allie was the best decision I made. I had a long engagement over covid and Allie was with my *virtually* every step of the way. She was responsive, understanding, and made the experience fun and wonderful even through a pandemic. I really enjoyed working with her and am very detailed oriented so was pretty involved in the process. The day of the wedding was perfect. If there was a hiccup I wasn't aware of it, my husband and I got to enjoy every minute of the day and can honestly say we had the best night of our lives.

    Best decision we made!

    We simply could not have gotten married with Tracey and Allie’s help! Hiring them was HANDS DOWN the best decision we made for our wedding. When it came to design, Tracey took the time to help us cultivate a vision for our wedding when we weren’t quite sure what we wanted. She provided honest advice and worked with us to make our dream wedding happen. She pays amazing attention to the little details that we would not have thought of on our own—but all those little details came together in the most beautiful way on our wedding day. All of our guests were wowed! Allie was with us on the day of our wedding—and not only was she the most unbelievable coordinator, making everything run SO smoothly (even a last minute change to move the ceremony inside), she had the absolute best attitude and was so positive, reassuring and fun. Together, Tracy and Allie are the dream team. Thanks to them we had an unbelievable wedding day and threw a party that all our family and friends continue to rave about. We can’t thank them enough!

    Excellent Experience with Polka Dot

    We had a wonderful experience working with Allie and her team at Polka Dot Events. We hired Allie just three months before our wedding date as COVID has disrupted our original plan, and we needed to transition to putting together a whole new backyard wedding for 100+ people. Working on a very tight timeline and starting from scratch, Allie did a fantastic job bringing our vision to life and drastically reducing our stress levels by taking the lead on all wedding design, timeline, and rental/vendor coordination. Polka Dot was incredibly responsive to all our questions and requests, and had great attention to detail. On the day-of, Allie and her team made sure everything went off without a hitch and solved any issues before we were even aware. We received many compliments on how well organized and planned our wedding was. We could not have done it without Allie and would greatly recommend her and the Polka Dot team to anyone planning a wedding.

    A covid wedding dream come true - hire polka dot!

    Simply put, Allie is a rockstar (as is the rest of the Polka Dot team). It’s no surprise that planning, re-planning, and re-planning (again) a wedding in the middle of a pandemic is a challenge. Hiring Polkadot made navigating these challenges, and pulling it off, so much easier. If you’re questioning whether you need a planner, the answer is yes. And if you’re questioning what planner to hire, the answer is a resounding “Polka Dot”.

    Here’s what Allie and team helped us with:
    * Being flexible with us as we scaled back on the size of our wedding (from 150 to 13 people)
    * Managing family politics and quickly adjusting plans as people were added/dropped from the final list
    * Taking everything off our hands as soon as we had our “onboarding” conversion — it literally felt like a weight was lifted off our shoulders once we started working with her
    * Negotiating tough conversations with vendors, especially when we encountered the last minute switcheroo from some who changed plans 2 days before the wedding
    * Making numerous recommendations and connecting us to various amazing vendors who brought our vision to life, most of the time at the last moment
    * Helping to bring everything together on the day of, from setup and organization at the event, to coordination with our guests, and handling the end of the night so that we could just walk away into the evening as a newly married couple

    Allie, you were our rock in this crazy, crazy rollercoaster and we are beyond grateful for you and everything you did. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts - we couldn’t have done it without you!

    The best decision we could have made was working with Allie from Polka Dot Events!

    We feel so lucky to have had the opportunity to work with Allie Beik from Polka Dot Events. We just celebrated our wedding in early November and Allie and her team made the day absolutely perfect and stress free for us. Besides being extremely professional, thorough and detail-oriented; Allie is just a gem of a person and I loved having her by my side on our wedding day. The entire team we worked with had such a great energy and instilled confidence in us that everything we needed to have handled was 100% taken care of.

    The whole process leading up to our wedding was also a dream. We actually booked Polka Dot Events as one of our last vendors through a recommendation by our Photographer, Haley Richter. At the time, I didn’t realize the amount of value a coordinator could bring to both the planning experience as well as the day-of wedding execution. If you’re on the fence, let me just say booking Allie had immediate value to us; there is no question of the return on investment you get from having a professional on your team! The week after we booked Polka Dot Events many of my other vendors started reaching out to setup timeline calls and finalize details; she was quick to introduce herself, join us for vendor meetings and calls and even take over some on her own when I had conflicts. Also, if you’re still looking for a photographer I recommend booking Haley and Allie together - they are literally the dream team! I didn’t realize until the day of our wedding that the two vendors you spend the most time with will be your photographer and coordinator. Having individuals who are both extremely efficient and have worked together before kept us on schedule and added to our outstanding experience.

    Thank you again Allie for everything! I’ll forever think of you as my fairy godmother on my wedding day - you made the whole experience so magical! We couldn’t have done it without you.

    Wedding angels!

    Polka Dot (hi, Brittany!) were a pleasure to work with. They were responsive and super helpful with all my questions. I was fairly active in planning all the details I wanted but was super thankful to have Brittany's guidance and extra hand when it came to the smaller tasks that I couldn't get around to (ie printing signs and bringing things over to the venue in advance). It was even a bigger relief the week of the wedding when I just wanted to relax and spend time with friends and family. The cherry on top was the day-of though. Knowing that Brittany was in the room, around the corner, or a text away to lend a helping hand made every penny worthwhile. Every bride should do herself a favor and work with Polka Dot!

    Excellent experience, highly recommended

    I had a great experience with polka dot events. I had a month of and a design package. I was in touch with Allie and she helped me with all my vendors. They are very professional and are always on time. It made my planning experience sooo much easier. They worked around my schedule and helped me to stay on track. It especially helped the day of, because I didn’t have to worry about anything at all except having fun.

    Amazing Wedding Coordinators!

    My wedding was at Tribeca Rooftop in June 2019 and Polka Dot Events was the BEST decision we ever made to hire Allie and team as our month of coordinators. They were all extremely responsive, helpful, smart and flexible. They went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and cared for. We couldn't have dreamed up a better team. They are a MUST!!

    The best money we spent on the whole wedding!

    Allie Beik, and her team at Polka Dot, were by far the best money we spent on the whole wedding weekend. Not only did she take phone calls with us before our month-of coordination began, once we were in the final month she was quick to answer questions and swoop in to take over any remaining planning activities.

    Outside of being an organized project manager, she was always calm and fun to work with. The last week, when tension starts to get high, she was there to calm all of our nerves and crack a perfect joke to calm us down.

    Additionally, I'm pretty sure with their expertise, Polka Dot pays for itself. In the last month, Allie steered us to make educated decisions as we were adding final touches to our weekend, and prevented us from spending on suggestions from other vendors that we really didn't need.

    Thank you Allie and Polka Dot so much for all of your help!

    The Whole Package

    We used Allie and Tracey for Month-of and Design Coordination. I couldn't believe we got what we did for what we paid. Even though it was technically partial planning services, it felt like Allie and Tracey fully dedicated themselves to our wedding. They have an uncanny ability to be both creative visionaries but also in the details and always bring helpful suggestions to the table - be it vendors based on preferences or details based on budget. And more than that, they are both extremely professional, but also fun to be around! We honestly couldn't have done it without them.

    truly amazing, thank you Tiffany, Allie and team!!!

    Polka Dot Events has been such a dream to work with. Both Tiffany and Allie made our wedding so fantastic, we could not have dreamed of it being better. They were just so amazing in every sense of the way and beyond attentive. Their calm and happy energy really let us have fun in the midst of some of our stress. Without them, we would have never been able to handle the last month of our wedding planning. The entire team is just so professional and on the ball, it gave us such sense of relief. They make everything seem so easy when we know how hard it is to juggle so many vendors/calls/emails/logistics. Proceeding with Polka Dot Events was the best thing we could have ever done and we are beyond grateful! We had our wedding at the 1Hotel in Dumbo Brooklyn and if I could do it all over again I would, because these girls were simply the best.

    The perfect planner for the perfect day

    We had an amazing experience with Kristi as our month of wedding planner in Leavenworth, WA. There were so many moving pieces as we had guests coming from all over the country, but Kristi was able to keep everything and everyone organized allowing us to just enjoy the moment with our friends and family. She coordinated our vendors, made our timeline and managed everything that came up day of. She was organized, calming and willing to do anything to make sure our day was perfect. We could not have asked for a better day or a better wedding planner!

    If you're wondering whether to hire a month-of coordinator...do it. And if you're considering Polka Dot Events...do it! I did most of my planning myself and I mostly enjoyed it-I didn't want a full planner because I had a lot of ideas I wanted to execute on my own. It became overwhelming in the last month, and that is exactly when Allie took over. She was so helpful with coordinating my vendors, our day-of schedule, final payments, purchasing hotel welcome bags and restroom hospitality items, and last minute things like printing programs (when Staples closed as soon as I got there due to weather!).
    Allie was a complete lifesaver, and I can't recommend her and Polka Dot events enough!

    We had such a wonderful experience with Kristi and Allie at Polka Dot. We used them for month-of planning, but they were happy to answer questions beforehand. Once the month of arrived, they started taking over with emails, planning, scheduling, all the things that had been keeping me up at night. On the day of, Kristi and her assistant, Claudia, were super organized, but not in an abrasive way. At one moment, I looked over and Kristi was steaming my dress and my bridesmaids' dresses. She kept an eye on everything, big and small, and the whole day ran smoothly, but I never felt bossed around. We had our ceremony earlier in the day, with pictures in between and reception at sunset. What could have been a really crazed day was well organized and delightful and I couldn't have done it without them. I highly recommend working with the Polka Dot team.

    Allie @ Polka Dot Events executed my wedding at the Gramercy Park Hotel seamlessly. Literally, I don't know what I would've done without her. I'm pretty type A and I hired her for month of planning services. This means she takes everything you've booked and worked on and makes it come to life. While it was hard for me to let go of everything, I am SO glad I did because I was able to enjoy my day AND have everything go perfectly. She helped organize my vendors, set up multiple timelines, organize all of my etsy wedding accessories in the venue space and get everything in order leading up to and during the day. Not to mention, when the florist didn't use a family heirloom in my bouquet as requested, she immediately went to them, found it for me, and attached it to my bouquet. Seriously the best - couldn't recommend her more!

    Allie Beik from Polka Dot Events was incredible. She was so on top of things the day of that I would not be surprised if she had psychic powers. Every time I would think to myself "oh, such and such needs to get done, let me grab Allie and see if she can-" My thought would be interrupted by Allie walking into the room and starting to do the exact thing I was about to ask for.

    We had a HIGHLY DIY wedding with many moving parts, including needing to set up and clean up all tables and seating, a self-serve buffet with outside servers, buying and bringing our own alcohol with outside bartenders, DIY DJ with an iphone, and all homemade crafts and florals. I mention this because we didn't really have other vendors to rely on much (e.g. no florist to put up flowers), and yet Allie guided friends, family, and the staff we did have to make the day run smoothly. The only problem all day was that some unknown person switched out our iphone playing music. When I realized, I told Allie and she IMMEDIATELY fixed things without even disrupting the flow of the music.

    In addition to being a blessing the day of, in the time leading up to the wedding, Allie communicated professionally and efficiently with myself and all important wedding members to make sure everyone knew what was going on. She was also empathetic and understanding- she could tell that my husband and I were pretty stressed the night of the rehearsal dinner, and gave us some time to calm down before rehearsing and offered other options for rehearsal if it was too much for us.

    Allie cued me and others to be in important places at the right times to stay on schedule, such as for cake cutting, toasts, and the first dance. She honestly made it feel like I did not have to worry about a single thing except enjoying our wedding. Prior to the wedding, I did wonder to myself if hiring a coordinator was REALLY necessary. After the fact I can say she was a MILLION times worth it. Trust me, go for it!

    We used Allie and Tracey for our September 2017 wedding in NYC and we LOVED them! We did a design package with month of coordination, but it really felt like a full planning service (other than negotiating contracts, which my husband did). Such a great value! They were incredibly responsive to every request we made, and the wedding, which was rather complicated with two bands and many requirements and a massive bridal party, went off without a hitch. I (and my mother!) was able to enjoy the best day of my life without having to worry once about a single detail, because I knew I was in such great hands. We also used most of their recommended vendors, who were great. I highly, highly recommend Polka Dot!

    We used Allie and Polka Dot Events for a month of coordinator for our August 2017 wedding at the Bryant Park Grill in Manhattan.

    Allie was much much more than a month of coordinator. She helped with questions all along the way and really was a savior the weeks leading up to the wedding. We felt like we were her only wedding, meanwhile she was managing a few others in the background with as much attention and enthusiasm. Allie's attention to detail and keeping track of all the little tasks was unbelievable. Allie is extremely patient, has the ability to deal with many personalities that weddings can create and finally, she is a true professional at execution. You wont go wrong with Allie or with Polka Dot Events.

    You want Allie from Polka Dot Events on your team. My husband and I reached out to Polka Dot for month-of planning services. From initial correspondence, to our hand-off meeting, to our big day, she was an absolute super star. So organized, so attentive, always one step ahead. When my husband and I originally started planning, we were skeptical about hiring a planner or coordinator. Weddings are expensive! Did we really need to spend thousands extra? We did. We really did. Now, a few weeks after our wedding, I can confidently say that Allie was 100% worth every penny. She handled essential communication, wrangled relatives for photos, set up our decorations, made sure the ceremony and reception were timed correctly, fed the bridal party, made sure our vendors were paid and tipped, researched after party venues and made us a reservation, and even grabbed us a little plate of hors d’oeuvres when we were hungry during cocktail hour…. plus a million other little tasks. The day was amazing because it was virtually stress-free. Allie played a huge part in that. We knew she had everything covered. As a result, we have nothing but happy memories from our wedding, and that is priceless.

    My husband and I used Polka Dot Events for their design and month-of services and we cannot speak highly enough of the experience. The design service helped me narrow down all my ideas and Pinterest posts into a real, tangible vision for what our wedding would eventually come to look like. Polka Dot’s design plan basically became a reference sheet that I must have shown every single vendor we worked with!

    Along with having such a thorough blueprint for our wedding, Polka Dot’s day-of services were probably one of our most valuable investments. Our coordinator Caitlin took care of all of the logistical details, such as transporting items to the ceremony and reception, communicating with all the vendors, and corralling all of our family and friends to the right places. She appeared as a comforting reference when we needed her - such as gently reminding us that cake cutting would be in five minutes - but otherwise worked so seamlessly and reliably behind the scenes. I know that our wedding day would not have run so smoothly without Caitlin, and that my husband and I would have been significantly more stressed and overwhelmed without Polka Dot guiding us. Thank you guys so much for a perfect day!!!
