Beckon Events makes dreams come true!!

The talent of Allie and her team is unmatched! Their ability to transform my abstract “vibe” into the most beautiful, cohesive, luxurious wedding day is so incredible. Our guests told us our wedding was the most fun, thoughtful, and joyous event they have been to, and Allie’s attention to every detail of the guest experience made all the difference. Allies dedication to building a relationship with her clients based on trust made all the difference for my husband and I. I love her and her team so much!!

Beckon events made our wedding a beautiful work of art—from sourcing the coolest napkin rings for us—to helping us pick the perfect vendors, they settle for nothing less than perfection. My husband and I got married in Greenville but live in NYC, and Allie and Julia were the perfect virtual planning partners—responsive, organized, and collaborative. If you are looking for an event planner who will make your dreams come true, there is no better option than Allie and her team. I can’t wait to have another excuse to plan a Beckon Event!!

Worth Every Penny!

We could not have planned our dream wedding without hiring Beckon Events and was the best investment we made! Allie, Julia, and her team are PHENOMENAL in every way. Planning a wedding (especially one out of state), can be challenging and overwhelming, but Allie and her team's unparalleled expertise made the process seamless and stress free for us. All of her vendor recommendations were top quality people that were wonderful to work/plan with, and we couldn’t be more pleased with their services.

Allie cares so deeply about her clients and handled the unimaginable and everything behind-the-scenes with such professionalism and grace. She made our vision come to life and could only be described as something out of a fairytale! Our day was picture perfect and executed exquisitely. We could not be more grateful. Thank you Beckon Events for a spectacular experience and giving us memories we will cherish forever!

The best in the business!

Planning a destination wedding can feel overwhelming, but with Allie by our side, it was an absolute dream! From the very first meeting, they took the time to get to know us as a couple and our families. It wasn't just about the venue and flowers – Allie and Julia truly cared about what made our day special.
Allie and Julia’s attention to detail is unmatched. We never had to worry about a single thing being overlooked. What truly impressed us was the ability to find the perfect vendors who not only fit our vision, but also worked seamlessly together. We would like to give a special thanks to our photographer Sarah Bradshaw, who took the most amazing pictures, capturing beautiful moments while being non-invasive, as well as Matt and Meredith Films. We would also like to shout out our amazing band, Steel Toe Stilettos, who really set the tone for the evening. Also, the whole team at Bridal Beauty Authority were very attentive to our own individual styles for hair and makeup. The flowers by Katie Asire went above and beyond with her outstanding designs. It felt like a well-oiled machine on the wedding day, and that is all thanks to Allie and Julia’s knowledgeable experience with wedding planning and over-all talent.
If you're looking for a wedding planner who goes above and beyond, look no further than Beckon Events. We can't thank them enough for making our destination wedding a day we'll cherish forever.

The best team!

Hiring Beckon Events was the best decision we made during our wedding planning process! Allie and her team were VITAL to the planning and execution of our day. We spent nearly 18 months with Beckon Events planning our October 2023 wedding. Allie traveled with us to (many) venue tours and guided us along the way with such professionalism. We ultimately decided on a beautiful venue that did present challenges both in planning and on the wedding day. My husband and I were clueless to any wedding weekend problems because they were handled by the team immediately. Beckon Events thought of EVERYTHING and handled any challenge with such grace. The attention to detail and thoughtfulness that went into planning made us feel so special during this season of life. Allie's extensive knowledge of vendors, layout and design made the planning process so easy and fun for us. Her ability to take our style and translate that to the design left us stunned on the rehearsal dinner and wedding day. We could have never planned anything as beautiful or as well thought out without Beckon Events. We would recommend them to anyone looking to have a professional and intentional planning and design team!

Hire beckon events

If you do one thing in the process of planning a wedding, hire Allie and Julia from Beckon events. We are so fortunate to have had Allie along our side. She has attention to detail, creativity, and a genuine passion for what she does. Our vision was completely out of the box from what a traditional black tie wedding looks like and she worked to bring our event at the Ritz Carlton on Lake Oconee to life. She handled everything from our overall design, vendor management, and even family dynamics. Things do not go perfect with wedding planning and anytime there was an issue with vendors etc the team always had proposed alternatives ready to go.

When it came down to the day off, the team seamlessly coordinated with vendors, ensuring that everything ran like clockwork. We were blown away with the transformation of the event, and if things went wrong I can say one thing, we had no idea. We received countless compliments with how organized our wedding day flowed and our guests could tell we hired an amazing team to handle the day off.

Phenomenal in every way

I can not rave enough about my experience with the Beckon team! Allie, Julia, and the rest of the team truly created the wedding of my dreams and went above and beyond in countless ways. From the first meeting, Allie asked about my priorities and intentions for my day and then remained focused on these throughout the planning process. I had autonomy in bringing up ideas and inspiration, but also quickly developed trust in their judgement and guidance and appreciated their suggestions and recommendations regarding vendor selection, decoration, timeline, and other details along the way. Her wisdom and experience allowed me to have peace of mind that every decision made along the way would be executed professionally and perfectly. Not only did Allie and Julia have excellent rapport with me, my husband, and my mom who was also central with the planning, but they also have incredible relationships with the vendors that we used. I could see the reasoning behind every recommendation that they made and would not have known how to select such high-quality vendors without their involvement. They handled all of the communication and coordination, leaving us able to simply enjoy the event without any “behind-the-scenes” stress!
Beckon truly knows how to plan an elegant and special event, and we had so many people tell us that it was the most beautiful wedding they have ever attended.
I had so much fun and it is largely due to efforts made by the Beckon team to take off pressure from me and to give security that everything was handled. Hiring Beckon as our planner was the greatest investment we could have ever made and I'd 100% do it all over again.

The team at Beckon Events is phenomenal, and they made our dream wedding a reality!

We hired Beckon Events as our wedding planning team for our April 22, 2023 wedding. Allie and her team are an absolute dream to work with. She was beyond helpful in finding our vendors for our special day and always provided honest, thoughtful, and instructive advice as we made our decisions. She was attentive, creative, and imaginative and she transformed our wedding vision into our own unique reality. She helped us navigate all of the dreaded venue/vendor issues and made sure our entire day went off without a hitch. I cannot imagine how much different our day would have been if we did not have her on our side. Allie and her team at Beckon Events are unmatched in their ability to plan, adapt, and design the most PERFECT experience for you and your guests. Our guests are still talking about our wedding day, and so are we. We are so grateful we chose Beckon Events as our wedding planning team, and we would highly recommend them without reservation. Thank you will never be enough to express our gratitude for creating such a memorable day for us!

The best investment we made!

Allie and Julia at Beckon Events were hands down the best investment we made in our daughter's entire dream wedding! I didn't realize early in the planning process how much we would come to appreciate their value. With Allie's leadership, expertise and organization my daughter and I were able to thoroughly enjoy her entire bridal season from the start. What a gift?! She recognizes the importance of this time in a bride's life and makes it her mission to know you, make it one of joy and excitement, take the pressure off and bring your dream to fruition.
For example, Allie and Julia figured a way to bring a personal cake tasting to my daughter, her fiancé, my husband and me when we couldn't nail down a time to visit our destination venue and still fit everything else in. Fun, Fun!!!
However, the crowning moment was definitely on wedding day. No words can describe how far beyond Beckon Events exceeded our expectations. Allie's profession is her passion. She excels at her job. Hiring Beckon Events should be the very first thing you do at this very special time in your life.

Second Time Client

I never knew the entirety of the details that go into planning a wedding until my first daughter got married four years ago. At that time, Allie helped us plan the special day, but I was able to handle many of the details myself. When my second daughter was engaged last summer, Allie was the first person I called before making any plans. Her service was invaluable to us the first time around, and I knew I didn’t want to do this without her help. This time around, we were navigating three significant family events and a move across the state! I was going to need more help! We hired Allie to pretty much take care of everything from beginning to end. No detail was left unattended, and having someone to help navigate vendor contracts and unexpected hiccups along the way gave us the peace we needed to enjoy our year of milestones without worrying about dropping any balls in regard to the wedding. From caterer to band to transportation and everything in between, her knowledge and experience with vendors helped us to not waste time as we made our choices. We gave Allie the difficult task of delivering an August wedding with a spring feeling, and we were not disappointed. With the help of our florist and carefully selected table dressings and wall draping, Allie transformed what I considered to be an awkward warehouse looking venue space into a beautiful spring garden complete with a garden swing! It was breathtaking! I had different ideas about how to use the space, and she made it work, realizing my vision to move the usual placement of the dance space and dining tables. My guests were also blown away, and my daughter was so pleased with every aspect of the day. Allie’s assistants were very professional and helpful, helping us to keep track of even small things like my sunglasses on the day of the wedding, as they would not fit into my purse. At the end of the event, everything I brought to the space was waiting for me in carefully packed bags, making our exit easy. If full service is what you are seeking, Beckon Events will deliver!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
