Flawless Execution and Unwavering Calm

Jen was an absolutely incredible wedding planner, and we are truly grateful for everything she did to make our wedding a wonderful, unforgettable experience. She handled our numerous questions and need to dig into every little detail with amazing patience and good humor, which provided constant reassurance throughout the planning process. The confidence and calm she brought was exactly what we needed, and her steady belief that everything would go perfectly proved to be true—our day was flawless! We highly recommend Jen to any couple; she was a truly important part of us having the best day of our lives.

Ally is the BEST!!!!

Gosh. I have no idea where to start... Ally Tierney at 2handsstudios is an absolute GEM. I hired Ally early on in the wedding planning process and I'm SO glad I did. Ally became my new best friend and go to gal for all things wedding. She made what was an overwhelming and stressful process absolutely seamless. Ally is organized, punctual, creative and understanding and all of which is what I admire about her the most. She never made me feel nervous or overwhelmed when selecting vendors or making any kind of decision. On my actual wedding day, I wasn't bothered about anything. She made sure I was calm, that both my husband and I actually ATE (huge deal) and she made sure we had fun. I truly could not recommend Ally enough. I told her after the wedding I was sad it was over because she and I wouldn't be chatting every week. Ally is a true magician and ANYONE should be grateful and honored to have her plan their wedding. Ally, you killed it! Thanks for all of your help, Paul and I are eternally grateful for you!

The BEST wedding planners!

The whole team at 2Hands is amazing, and Jen is simply THE BEST! She not only made sure the wedding day went off without a hitch, but also guided us through the whole wedding planning process and was always available on weekends or after hours when we needed her. She helped us find other quality vendors, like our DJ, which was so helpful and appreciated! Not only is Jen a phenomenal wedding planner, she also clearly has a love for weddings and young couples and brings that to every meeting and planning step along the way! My husband and I are truly grateful we found Jen and 2Hands and they helped make our dream day a reality, they are simply THE BEST!

Amazing Wedding Planners!!

My husband and I worked with Ally Tierney from 2Hands Studios for our wedding in May 2025. I truly could not imagine our wedding being as amazing of a day without Ally’s help! We did a partial planning package which normally starts about a year out but Ally was willing to jump right into the planning when we booked her in February 2024. From our first conversation, I knew I could trust Ally to understand and bring my vision to life, but she truly went above and beyond!

Ally is incredibly organized, knowledgeable, and calm under pressure. She recommended amazing vendors (all of whom she has great relationships with), kept track of contracts and deadlines, and made the entire planning process feel seamless and stress-free. Her calming presence made such a difference throughout the months of planning and especially on our wedding day itself.

One notable moment from our wedding day was right before the ceremony when my wedding dress completely broke. Ally and her assistant quickly took charge of the situation, stitched me up with what felt like a million safety pins, and kept me calm and laughing through it all. I honestly don’t know what I would’ve done without her!

Ally made it possible for me, my husband, and our families to be fully present and enjoy every second of our wedding. She took care of every little detail and handled the entire day like a true professional. I would recommend Ally and her partners at 2Hands Studios to anyone looking for a wedding planner. They were absolutely incredible to work with!

Best planner in town

Ally was a DREAM to work with! Her communication, kindness, and attention to detail honestly took all the stress out of wedding planning. On the day of, I didn't worry about anything and every aspect of the day was perfect. Ally was always one step ahead and led with such patience and grace. All my vendors were also very thankful I chose 2hands because they work so well with the entire wedding team!

Best Planner Ever!!!!

Jen from 2hands Studios is AMAZING!! She was a real life saver as I went through multiple stressful events while planning our wedding. Jen was in constant communication with me, our vendors, and even went above and beyond to reduce my stress by taking multiple items off of my to-do list and lending us some items day-of. Using 2hands was worth every single penny and more! Jen executed our wedding dream perfectly, made it easy to keep planning on track, and made sure that my husband & I stayed on schedule day-of while still having the best day ever. I could not recommend 2hands studios more!!!

Ally and 2Hands are the best!!

Our wedding in June 2024 went so smoothly and I never had to think about anything on the day of - thanks to Ally! My husband was very nervous about the logistics of shuttle transportation and Ally made sure everything ran perfectly. I could not recommend her and her team more - I'm so glad I chose them be part of our wedding day!

Incredible.

I'm not sure there are enough words in the English language to express how incredible Ally is. She expertly guided us through the entire wedding planning process with such grace and confidence. We never felt pressured to do anything we didn't want to do, and felt fully informed every step of the way. Ally's deep knowledge of the process and of all the best vendors really made planning our wedding feel, dare I say... easy?! She's just a dream to work with. I cannot recommend 2hands Studios highly enough. If you're on the fence, let this be your sign to GO FOR IT!

Highly recommend Ally & team!!

Ally and the 2Hands team were AMAZING!! Ally had so much experience and was so knowledgeable, calm, and comforting throughout the process. She had so many connections in the industry and so much knowledge about where to expend effort and when. We did the Collaborative Planning Package, and she was able to help with everything I needed -- finding the right vendors, getting quotes (I had no idea where to start), joining calls, handling panicked questions over phone and email, and coordinating the day-of. She is kind and personable but also decisive and able to give directions...the perfect combo for a planner! Everything day-of went so smoothly, and she took everything off our plate. I'm very type A and love to be in control, but Ally made it easy to hand things off and release control...exactly what should happen on your wedding day! Would absolutely recommend Ally + team for your big day!

The Most Wonderful Wedding Planner

We worked with Jen and she was truly an answer to my wedding planning prayers! We had a short engagement of five months and planned a 160 person black tie wedding that had the ceremony at one location and the reception at the other. Jen was amazing, she is so experienced and so talented and also so confident yet calm!! She was able to guide me every step of the way and had the best recommendations. I had a strong vision in mind, and she executed it better than I could’ve ever dreamt of . Toward the end when I started to get nervous, she was so steady and so professional. Her response time to my texts was actually incredible! I don’t know how she juggles it all, but she does juggle it all so gracefully. My mom and mother-in-law and others in my family adored her and trusted her with everything. She worked tirelessly with my florist and vendors to make everything look beautiful. I cannot recommend Jen enough and the whole team!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
