Wedding Planner

Liz did the absolute best job as our wedding planner! She did such a beautiful job setting up all the decor, getting into contact with the vendors, and keeping everything moving along. She’s very proactive and neat. I highly suggest her for all wedding needs!

Amazing work from liz!

let me know how this one is for liz: I had the pleasure of working with Liz from At the Alter as my wedding day coordinator, and I cannot express how grateful I am for her exceptional service. Liz was consistently prompt in responding to my questions, demonstrating her dedication starting almost a year before the wedding. Her communication skills were superb, managing all interactions seamlessly.

Liz went above and beyond, coordinating with the DJ to ensure the perfect playlist and handling the transportation of my belongings to and from the venue. On the wedding day, she executed everything flawlessly, leaving me stress-free and worry-free. Liz's kindness, patience, and efficiency exceeded my expectations, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of a top-notch wedding coordinator.

At-the-altar was fantastic!

Elizabeth was fantastic. We hired her as a day of coordinator and she was so incredibly helpful. She ensured that all of our vendors were aligned on delivery and timing. She helped with all of the set up and all of the breaking down of our venue which really took a lot of stress off of our family! She was so on point and did an excellent job with communicating the plans - even if things had to change, she was on it and let me know immediately.
I would highly recommend Elizabeth and her team for any wedding!! They were great!!!

Amazing Officiant!

We chose At the Altar for our officiant needs for our recent wedding and couldn’t be happier. Elizabeth was fantastic to work with. She met with us to discuss what we wanted for our wedding ceremony and even reviewed the vows we wrote ourselves. She was very flexible in meeting up for the rehearsal and provided fantastic direction for our large bridal party. We wanted a non-religious, shorter ceremony with portions in Spanish, and she exceeded all of expectations. The ceremony was great, and she was professional throughout. Couldn’t recommend more!

We love Liz!

Liz was amazing. From day one she was helpful, thoughtful and committed to excellence.
Liz guided us every step of the way and made our wedding day a breeze! She even took care of sending in our marriage license/ certificate to the state. Her cost was affordable as well! Highly recommended.

Elizabeth was helpful & wonderful

We contacted Elizabeth pretty late in the game and she responded instantly and made us feel much less stressed about the vow process. She’s not only a great, passionate speaker at weddings, she’s able to help you with your vows beforehand, fix grammatical errors, give you suggestions, and overall advice. Her own words during our ceremony were beautiful and personal to us! We highly recommend Elizabeth ❤️
