DTAE: Always Goes Above & Beyond

We worked with Julia of Down the Aisle Events for two years leading up to our wedding. Though we purchased her 10-week coordinator package, she went above and beyond to help us corral our vendors and style our venue to create the wedding of our dreams.

After hiring Julia (and an initial meeting), Julia held a call with us to understand our vision at the 10-week mark. From there on, she exceeded any and all expectations we had:
- She handled our complicated family dynamics and vocal bridal party with such grace.
-She handled our vendor communications professionally and acted as our advocate, ensuring we were only paying for services needed and received
-She curated day-of timelines for our entire bridal party and other day-of key players
-She recommended a nail spa for the bridal party and made sure our time there was extra special
-She worked with her wonderful assistant Tasia to style our venue to our exact specifications with the decorations provided. - She understood our individual stress points and so kindly and discretely ensured that our bridal party was prepared and our nerves were calm so we could enjoy the evening with our guests.
-She delivered the leftover cake and treats to our afterparty!

The list could go on! Perhaps most importantly, Julia was warm and fun to work with (we had lots of laughs along the way). We now consider her a friend.

DTAE is Amazing & Highly Recommended!

Down The Aisle Events was absolutely amazing- do yourself a favor and hire them! Julia was so great to work with and I was able to be fully present without any worries on my wedding day. She took care of any kinks that came up and made sure everything was absolutely perfect the entire day. She set up our decorations, which were AMAZING. Coordinated everything with the vendors, was there for the rehearsal and everything. During post-ceremony pictures she even made sure we got a plate of our food from the cocktail hour and the entire bridal party all had drinks! At the reception, she always made sure the groom and I had drinks (and water), that we got to eat, and the bartenders all knew what we were having. It was so important to me that I be able to enjoy my wedding day fully without any distractions, and Down The Aisle Events made this possible! Do yourself a favor and HIRE THEM!

Couldn't have been better!

I was able to enjoy the day and relax since Julia and her team were "at the helm" . She took care of any problems that arose and did it in a professional and kind manner. She was always smiling and very accommodating to guests wishes. Even guests commented on her relaxed manner and attention to detail. She is definitely a wonderful choice for any type of wedding or event.

Julia and DTAE are amazing!

Hiring Julia and DTAE was one of the best decisions my fiance and I made when planning our wedding. Julia confirmed everything with our vendors beforehand, created a detailed itinerary of our wedding day, and handled complicated family dynamics with grace so that we could relax and enjoy our day. Julia's day-of suitcase was a life saver when my bridesmaids and I were getting ready (tummy troubles and wardrobe malfunctions were solved with her kit, seriously a blessing). We ended moving our ceremony inside due to rain and Julia completely handled coordinating the moving process with our venue. Julia was reliable, easy to work with, and truly a friend by the end of the wedding and I would recommend her and DTAE to all of my friends with no reservations! I would absolutely love to work with her again.

BEST Wedding Vendor decision I made!!!

I am so incredibly thankful for Julia Define and Down the Aisle Events! I could not have made it to my wedding day or through my wedding day without she and her team. Julia was originally hired as my day of coordinator, but quickly turned into so much more. She provided planning support throughout the entire process and went above and beyond the "typical" duties that most coordinators include. I always knew that I could count on her for her guidance, wedding expertise, and calming support to cheer me on! My wedding day was perfect with her team by my side, and I knew that I didn't have to worry about a thing. Our wedding day was filled with intricate details that were all so important to my husband and I and her team handled them all with ease and included some of their own special touches into our design. Hiring Julia's team was by far one of the best decisions we made when planning for our special day. For all of the brides that are looking for a wonderful team to help prepare them for the best day of their lives, look no further than Down the Aisle Events! You will not be disappointing, and will come out of your special day with a lifelong friend!

Didn't need to worry about a thing!

Julia literally knew to think of everything. I was having such a hard time figuring out details and what I needed to take into consideration, and she always knew exactly what to do. She also took all my decorations and made our cocktail hour and reception hall so beautiful with almost no direction!

You DO need a coordinator. This one.

I can't say enough good things about Julia. She was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. We contacted her to provide day-of coordination so that I wouldn't have to worry about anything. I couldn't tell you if there were any hiccups on our wedding day - everything was seamless from our perspective and it was a zero stress event. I was able to relax and enjoy. She was phenomenal and I would absolutely work with her again.

I first met Julia at my nieces wedding. To be honest, I couldn't imagine why you would need to pay someone to help. After working with Julia
And her assistant I decided I most definitely wouldn't want to navigate our upcoming family wedding without her. I had already overseen two of our daughters weddings and was thrilled to have Julia take the lead. I have to mention our wedding was Dutch/American(many international guest)with a mix of traditions and lasted all day. I would hire Julia again, she is a delight to work with and knows her stuff!!!! Thank you Julia!!!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
