Alissa was our primary planner for our wedding and was absolutely wonderful. She helped us organize everything we needed to take care of as well as help us make some choices regarding food, colors, etc that she knew from experience worked well. We couldn't have asked for a better person to be such an important part of our day. Our wedding was everything we dreamed of and more and I owe so much of that to Alissa. I would recommend her services to anyone!!!

My wedding occurred on October 10, 2010. Everything was perfect. Our expectations were exceeded on every level. The food, the staff, the decor, and the service were all amazing. Every detail was attended to, and although there were three other events going on at the same time, we felt like we had her undivided attention. Alissa was always professionial and accomodating. All of our guests kept saying what a great time they had. The day was so amazing, I wish I could relive it!

Alissa was our wedding coordinator in May 2010 and I couldn't have been more happy! She was not only highly organized and on top of every detail, but she also made excellent recommendations and knew exactly what it would take to make our special day PERFECT! I highly recommend working with Alissa - you will not be disappointed!
