OK, 2nd best decision if you count proposing to my wife as the first best decision. At first we did most of the planning ourselves but realized that there were going to be details such as 'who will hold the door open for her entrance', 'who will make sure things are ready before we arrive', and lots of others that we didn't want to put onto family and friends. A'vie already came recommended from some people I really trust and I couldn't have been happier with our decision to bring them on. From our first meeting my wife and I felt a huge sense of relief and weight lifted off our shoulders. We hadn't even decided to hire them yet and they were already making calls to vendors for us to make sure arrangements were on track. They were only supposed to be 'day of' services but they were so much more. We had problems with our cake lady and A'vie found us an amazing replacement (we have since used that vendor for other events). Then the biggest was when our photographer dropped us 3 days before the wedding and didn't have a back up person. We called A'vie immediately and by the next day they had a replacement for us. We wish we had gone with that photographer in the beginning because they were amazing! We have also since used that photographer for several photo shoots since the wedding. Angela has put together a wonderful team at A'vie Events and we loved working with everyone. Things were fixed before we even knew there was a concern. Our parents and several guests came up to us after the wedding to compliment how nice and helpful the A'vie team was. I could keep going on and on about how great they were but if you should already be calling them to set up a meeting. I am 100% confident that if you just talk to them you will feel that sense of relief that they will be there for you every step of the way no matter what unexpected thing happens. I would (and have) recommended them to anyone who planning a wedding or any event big or small! Thanks A'vie Events!!!

Alexandra Lawson and her crew were great. They knew exactly what to do and kept everything (and everyone) moving. Very professional, very accommodating, always pleasant and friendly. They took care of everything. Very thankful they were there to make Kyle and Allison's wedding fantastic and beautiful.

I hired A'vie Events for my wedding and it was the best decision ever! I chose the last 3 month of planning as I was beginning a doctoral program 3 months before my wedding and needed all the help I could get. They helped direct my initial planning and made sure I was on track, gave me recommendations for vendors and where to get supplies when I needed them, and then absolutely blew me away on the wedding day. All my guests raved about how it was the best wedding they had ever been to and ran so smoothly and on time. I truly could not have had the day of my dreams if it had not been for Angela and her team!

There is so much I could say about Alexandra Lawson and the A'vie events crew. They are spectacular. I am a full time graduate student and decided to have a wedding during my first semester, thanks to Alexandra it was perfect. She thought of things I never would have and made they day go by perfectly on time which is rare for my family. I cannot thank this crew enough they made me so happy. Highly recommend even if you don't need the whole wedding plan they can help and really relieve stress!

Our wedding was not easy to plan. We live 4 hours away from Gainesville and if it wasn't for Angela, Alexandra, and the A'vie team our wedding wouldn't have gone so well. Additionally, we had to deal with rain on our wedding day and Alexandra was able to help us navigate around the planning obstacle the rain created. All in all, we wouldn't have had such a great wedding without them. We appreciate you so much!

When I planned my wedding, my fiancé was working on the road. My mom and I went to a bridal expo in Ocala, FL and met Stefany Garcia. Shortly after that event, we met with Stefany and Angela with A’Vie about 4 months before the wedding. Stefany, our lead planner, did an amazing job helping us with “crunch time” planning. The team was cordial, very responsive, and they really take to heart what your vision is. I highly recommend A’Vie events to help with your special day and big events. They were a perfect fit for my wedding team! I want to thank them again for the help, time, and efforts during my last few months of wedding planning. My day ended up being perfect!

My husband and I thought we couldn’t afford a planner for our wedding, but we knew we needed help pulling the details together in the months leading up to and a coordinator for the day of. We couldn't have been happier with Angela and her team - it was the best investment for our wedding. From the start Angela was attentive to our concerns and needs and as it turned out, A’vie was entirely affordable. We wished we had hired the team earlier in the planning process! Angela composed a comprehensive agenda to tackle our to-do list and a schedule for the big day to share with vendors and the wedding party. It became clear to us that A’vie has worked with many different vendors in North Florida and they have a great relationship with each of them. Angela went above and beyond what we expected and communicated final details with each vendor before the wedding to ensure everything was on track – a huge stress relief for us.

The morning of the wedding I woke up feeling under the weather, but Angela was on it. She showed up with crackers, Gatorade, and ginger ale. She was truly caring and ready to tackle everything that came her way. She also had two coordinators from her team helping out who were able to jump into action right away. Our wedding day was nonstop from about 8AM to 11PM, a schedule Angela and her team handled with grace and efficiency. This included getting the entire wedding party from Sweetwater Branch Inn to the UF stadium for photos and back again in time for the ceremony!

After recently attending another wedding that did not have a coordinator, we saw how stressful the situation was for the bride, groom, and family members who were running around trying to make everything fall into place. We were reminded how very thankful we were for Angela and her team at our wedding. Her calm and cheerful personality kept everyone relaxed and she never seemed stressed. We received so many compliments from family and friends about how smoothly our wedding went. Thank you so much, A’vie!

I can't say enough wonderful things about Angela, Miranda, Stefany and the entire A`vie Events staff! They are absolute rock stars and I constantly recommend them to anybody searching for event planning and coordinating needs! My business has used A`vie for company parties, community events, and the many seasonal rushes that bring floods of customers and chaos to our dealership. Their commitment to our customers and team is matched by their professionalism and communication and they leave no stones unturned. They bring me so much piece of mind and having them on hand during crunch time relieves so much stress, I truly can't imagine an event without them! They are such a blessing to anyone they work with!

Ms. Angela and her team were simply incredible! Ms. Angela met with me multiple times, including at the venue itself, to go over every last detail. I felt so comfortable knowing that she was taking care of everything the day of our wedding. She was organized and helped me to cover some things I had not even considered. We had a specialized table for the Persian elements of our wedding and Ms. Angela got it just perfect. Ms. Angela responded to every question in a timely manner and even held on to some of our wedding belongings until after we got back from our honeymoon. She is a genuine, kind person who truly loves what she does and it shows. She made our every dream come true and I would recommend her and her company to anyone and everyone. A 5 star experience for sure! You can't go wrong with A'Vie events.

Their attention to detail is amazing and they made the whole experience so special! They made my wedding day everything I imagined, and even added some beautiful touches I wouldn’t have thought of. I absolutely love this group of ladies! 💕
