    Life saver!

    Alison is literally an angel!! She is not only incredibly connected and just a beautiful person inside and out, but she really cares about YOU and YOUR day! She helped me so much beyond what I contracted her for because she’s just that amazing of a human. She kept me calm, fed, and made sure leading to and on the day of my wedding was perfect. I truly think the only reason I actually got to fully enjoy my day is because Alison handled everything for me. I cannot recommend her enough, from start to finish a life saver!!

    Alison to the Altar's reply:

    Thank you!! We enjoyed working with you both - especially the trust you put in us to do what we do! It sure was a "fun" group. Keep in touch Alison & the team

    Alison made everything so much easier!

    I was trying to plan my own beach wedding and kept running into obstacles. I learned of Alison and her team when speaking with a dinner venue and Alison was recommended to me to help with my planing. As soon as I explained my vision, Alision provided various options to consider and then took care of all the details. It was seemless and perfect and stress-free! Highly recommend!!

    Alison to the Altar's reply:

    We can't wait to see the pictures...that dress was beautiful! It was so cute that you actually knew people on the beach while planning to slip away and get married. What are the odds??
    Thank you for sharing your day with us.
