Abby was an invaluable sidekick for planning my wedding. She was genuinely interested in understanding me and my partner's goals for the day and helping me navigate the overwhelming barrage of choices in order to plan a wedding day that was our style. Perhaps most importantly, she was a huge support emotionally - I typically hate being in the spotlight but felt so excited and confident about the wedding!

Abby has been a godsend since I booked my venue in the Catskills. I was excited after I found the perfect location, but then realized I had gotten way over my head when I realized it was going to be tough to find caterers, florists, hair, makeup and cake to my semi-remote location. I knew the vendors were there, but I had no time to reach out, research and figure out who fit my look.

Abby swept in and helped wade through the options to find the perfect vendors. I knew I needed a makeup artist - Abby reached out to the tons of options online, figured out who could travel to the space, worked out pricing and helped make sure it fit my look. I know my vision and didn’t want to be stuck with a planner who had a short list of vendors I had to use, and Abby was flexible to really find some diamonds in the rough. I picked a dress style for bridesmaids I liked - she found a vendor, color, and figured out the timeline. When we decided, she added them to my Pinterest so I could see the whole vision.

In 2020, my wedding got postponed due to the pandemic. I was so relieved that even during that, I had Abby to think through details, send me articles, and keep planning during the chaos. I toyed with elopement, smaller weddings and other ideas - each time Abby started research and gave me thoughtful guidance on what to do. I highly recommend AK Coaching if you want to have a wedding that is still your own but even better than you dreamed it could be.

I hired a wedding planner who took care of everything involved in the actual ceremony and reception, but for pretty much everything else, I was on my own. Because my maid of honor lives in another city and both of us have demanding jobs, planning the bachelorette weekend and bridesmaid activities was turning into a nightmare. That’s where Abby came to our rescue. She set up the polls to get the best dates for everyone, found us airbnb and hotel options and made a spreadsheet with prices, amenities, and nearby attractions so we could make informed choices without spending hours doing the drudgework. Then she also helped me plan lodging and bridal party activities for the days around the wedding. Abby was even willing to do additional sessions with my maid of honor so I could be sure that everything was planned to my control freak standards while still getting some surprises from my friends. At each step, I had all the control I wanted with none of the stress that usually comes with it. My husband and bridesmaids were also saved from the stress of dealing with me in planning mode. Abby truly saved my wedding!
