Working with Ann was one of the BEST decisions we made during our wedding planning. We utilized her 30 day out and day of coordinating package. From the very beginning, she was incredibly detailed, organized, and personable. She offered thoughtful tips and suggestions throughout the process and genuinely cared about making sure we had the best day possible.

Ann has such calming presence as well—her voice and demeanor brought me such peace, both in the days leading up to the wedding and on the big day itself. From our first meeting, it felt like I had known her forever. She made everything feel so seamless and stress-free. She also knows so many other wedding vendors. Ann is simply the best! If you're looking for someone who is professional, kind, and truly invested in your happiness, look no further! :)

Ann is truly a blessing. She provided her wedding management service for us and she exceeded our expectations. She always responded in a timely manner, she was professional and very communicative, and she has just a kindhearted spirit that shined throughout our time working with her. We are incredibly grateful to have worked with her. I would 1000% recommend her to all couples looking for any wedding planning services, you will not be disappointed.

Ann was truly a blessing! Let me say, I don’t know if my wedding would’ve gone as smoothly without her. From start to finish, Ann was an absolute gem-patient, organized and always ready to answer everyone of my questions, even the silly ones. Anytime I started to feel anxious, she was right there keeping me calm and on track. When we had to switch to a last minute weather plan, Ann handled it like a pro. Everything continued to flow beautifully and I didn’t have to stress about a thing. My wedding party and even my guests couldn’t stop raving about how amazing she was and how smoothly a beautifully everything went. If you want someone who will treat your special day like it’s her own and make sure you actually get to be present in the moment and enjoy it, Ann is your girl! 

There are not enough great words to describe how wonderful and irreplaceable Ann was during our whole wedding planning process and even after the wedding! We booked Ann at the end of 2023/early 2024 and went with the full planning option. From the initial consultation, I knew something was different about her. She is highly professional, amazing at what she does, well organized, thoughtful, intentional, and truly cares about your experience. She is well-versed in all things wedding planning related, has a ton of connections to vendors, and always fought for us to get the best deal and best situation and all circumstances. During the wedding planning process as I had a long engagement period, she was very open to communication and was quick to respond to any emails/texts/calls. She was always well prepared for our meetings. She has a very peaceful aura about her and she is very easy to talk to. As a very anxious person, this was very calming to me during the planning process. Even during the wedding, there were multiple things that went wrong that were out of our control (i.e. weather, flooding of venue, etc.) and she handled it with grace and professionalism. She made our wedding turn out so beautiful and wonderful! Even after the wedding, she was readily available to help us with getting our marriage license returned to the courthouse. I cannot say enough, good things about her. Please if you read this review, I would hire her again 100000x over if I had to do it over again! You need to hire her because she is just simply the best!

Ann and the Akal Elegance team were amazing to work with! She truly understood our vision and brought it to life with such care and attention to detail. I’m so thankful to have had her support throughout the planning — our day was so beautiful thanks to her!

Ann and her team at Akal Elegance are the truth! Professional, dependable, and always five steps ahead. She anticipated my questions, eased my stress, and made our wedding day flawless. Loved her vendor recs and how seamlessly she worked with our venue. Brides, do yourself a favor and book her before someone else does — she’s that good.

We got married on the 25th of January and I still think about how amazing Ann was! I literally think about it about once a week still. Multiple of my friends have still made comments about how amazing she did and how well she handled my husband and I's wild family! She made the whole process so smooth, she advocated for my husband and I, and made it possible for my husband and I to just relax the day of the wedding and not worry about anything. I had the wedding of my dreams in large part due to Ann! I would recommend her to every person looking for a planner or a coordinator. You really will not regret it!

I truly couldn’t have done it with Ann! She was so supportive and made the entire process smooth and amazing. The day of, her calming, encouraging, and fun energy was everything I needed. I love her and will never forget her! We are a few months out from our wedding and we still have guests bringing up how amazing she was!

I found Ann very early on in my planning process, and one of the first things she said to me is that she wanted to take my stress and that’s exactly what she did. She was always available for any questions I had, she was on top of every vendor from the time we started looking to the day of the wedding, and she was such a delight to work with. When the day of the wedding came, she executed my vision beautifully and I was able to relax and enjoy my wedding day from the time I woke up to the brunch the morning after. I am so grateful for her and I know any bride would be lucky to have her as their wedding planner!

Ann was so fabulous during our whole experience with planning a wedding. From the moment we found her, her responsiveness and excitement to make this day run as beautifully as possible really stood out to me. It was always easy and clear communication when going back and forth with her. When the month of kicked in and I got to see first-hand how passionate she is about her line of work, I truly felt so comfortable with the knowledge that Ann had it all under control. Ann, thank you for all of your help, your reassurance, and your gentle guidance through this whole process! You are one of a kind!
