If you're reading this, look no further. Sarah Bayer is the one vendor I absolutely could not have lived without for my wedding. She's THE best decision you will make.

I couldn't be happier or have a single nicer thing to say about Sarah Bayer and her team. Sarah is single-handedly the reason our wedding went so flawlessly. In the year leading up to the wedding, Sarah was very helpful as a sounding board, especially as we made COVID-related decisions. In the months leading up to the event, she was very communicative and spent hours on the phone with us nailing down even the tiniest details of our night. Sarah was very organized and detail oriented, and as soon as I sent her a vendor contract and contact info, I could count on her to take over and communicate anything that needed communicating.

In the week leading up to the wedding, she helped me rejigger the timeline so we could ensure enough dancing. She's clearly an expert at what she does because when I wanted to move things around she'd know exactly the ramifications -- "If you move speeches here, it will mean people are still eating when dancing starts." etc.

On the day of, she brought my vision to life even better than I'd envisioned it. She handled my crazy bridal party with ease and grace. She managed a tight run of show. I honestly have no clue if there were every any issues, thanks to all her hard work behind the scenes. I truly don't know how she managed so many details and moving pieces, while also seemingly being right there, ready and waiting, whenever I needed anything. She was also just an absolute joy to have around!

My husband and I are beyond thrilled. I'm just sad to not still be working with her (Will most definitely be calling her for my sisters' wedding one day though!)

Everyone on the Alluring Events team worked wonderfully on the day of my wedding. I didn't notice anything going wrong and no one came up to me asking what was to happen next! I worked closely with Kelsey as she was the main coordinator and her organization skills are amazing! Her ability to deal with me family was amazing also!! I was able to send out our timeline to the bridal party/ officiant that she had created a week in advance so everyone was on the same page and knew what to expect. Kelsey was always there for me when I needed advice on vendors/ suggestions for the wedding especially decor!
I highly recommend getting a coordinator (especially alluring), because there is so much that happens day of that you don't think about (set up, break down, managing guests, managing other vendors, etc.).

My husband and I recently got married in South Lake Tahoe (as a destination wedding). I started planning and was so confident that I could do everything myself - no problem. So when my mother in law suggested we hire a planner, I thought she was crazy. But I am SO grateful that she did! Finding Lonnie was the best decision in the world. Our wedding weekend was PERFECT! Lonnie is the most organized, caring, creative, thoughtful woman. Our venue was a bit non-traditional and it was definitely a puzzle to figure out the best layout... but Lonnie spent probably 5 hours late into the night texting with me and sending sketches back and forth and never had even the hint of annoyance when all of a sudden I wanted to go back to our first idea. She never gave up, even when things were complicated and seemed impossible to figure out. She is so patient and positive. Whenever I was feeling discouraged, Lonnie somehow knew exactly what to say. If she had to deliver bad news (like the tables we wanted weren't available) she always had a solution or positive spin to add. Planning a destination wedding is so hard, especially when you aren't familiar with the area. I 100% underestimated the amount of work and details and coordination that goes into pulling off a wedding. Thanks to Lonnie's incredible attention to detail - everything was perfect and exactly how we had planned... down to the napkin folds! I am so grateful that the day of my wedding I was able to spend it fully in the moment and appreciative of all our hard work - I never had to worry about a single thing, there were no hiccups, and it was the best day of my life. If you are someone who likes to be in control of all the details (which I found out I am) - working with Alluring, you don't have to give that up. I felt deeply involved in all of our planning and design and decisions, but they bring your dream to life. If you are on the fence about a planner, I would definitely go for it, and definitely choose Alluring!
