Alexa is a brilliant and devoted wedding planner. My now husband and I moved to Tampa shortly after getting engaged and did not know anyone. A few minutes into my wedding planner search. I came across Alexa's instagram page. I messaged her, and, even on vacation, she responded within the hour. From our first phone conversation, I knew she was the one. Alexa is warm, professional, honest, responsible, and savvy. She was empathetic to our every wish, while being realistic and candid about the feasibility of them. And... patient when we changed our minds. Many, many times! We shared our vision, and she brought it to life. She took the time to get to know us as a individuals and as a couple and created our own little "Carlos & Caity" land, complete with both traditional appeal and trendsetting touches like our boho floral swings and our naked cake. She even travelled to Mexico with us for our venue visit + vendor meetings! Even there, she spent her free time working! She loves what she does and it shows... in all of her work. Our wedding was breathtakingly beautiful, stylish, delicious, elegant and fun. Plus, vividly unique and wildly memorable. We received a sea of compliments from our guests on the day of the wedding, many of whom said it was by far the best wedding they had ever attended, and I agree. If you want to see your dream wedding come to fruition and feel special, relaxed and cared for throughout the entire wedding planning process, hire Alexa.

Professional, caring, well-connected, a joy of a human to work with. These are some of the words that come to mind when I think of Alexa Kritis. We first spoke with Alexa in February 2020 to plan for our original wedding date. From the first meeting, her organization and demeanor impressed us and we signed the contract immediately. Suddenly, the world goes into lockdown and we say goodbye to our original plans and reschedule our wedding to nearly two years later: January 2022. We kept our contract with Alexa, of course, because this is the woman you want in your corner when there is a global pandemic and everything you know melts into chaos. She remained flexible as our attentions switched to our roles in medicine. And when it came closer to the time to start planning anew, she jumped right back into the big picture visions and the nitty-gritty details. When our anxieties and the volatility of the guestlist with each swing of the newscast started mounting, Alexa was there to address each concern backed by her years of expertise planning weddings and large events.

Thank you so much Alexa. Thank you for your wonderful recommendations for vendors, for going to bat when our venue attempted to cancel our wedding less than 2 months prior, and for being a truly wonderful person to know and work with! It had been at least 15 years since either of us had gone to a wedding and here we were, planning the first LGBTQ wedding in both of our families!! We could never have hosted such a beautiful, fun, and seamless night for our loved ones without you. We wish you the absolute best and to anyone reading this - yes, Alexa Kritis should absolutely be your planner.

Pulling off a large surprise party with dozens of moving parts, vendors, and deliveries and keeping it secret (from your husband!) while living in another state would have been impossible without the INCREDIBLE Alexa Kritis!!
Many people think of only using an event coordinator for weddings, but hiring Alexa made planning this event FUN, not stressful. Her vast rolodex of amazing high-quality vendors will save you so much time and hassle rather than researching people on your own. Her vast expertise can help you decide what you really need (and don’t need) to make your event one to remember. She handled anything and everything day of, so literally all I had to do was get dressed and show up. The cost of her fee will pay for itself 10-fold in the amount of time, stress, and hassle you will save yourself.
I wanted my husband’s birthday party to be filled with memories we would never forget, and Alexa exceeded all our expectations and then some. I had many outside the box ideas and special requests and she handled them all with ease and made them come to life exactly how I pictured. I wanted a special dessert re-created; no problem, Alexa knows an amazing pastry chef. I wanted beer on tap, but the venue doesn’t have a setup for that; no problem, Alexa not only got the venue to allow it, but she also found a tap wall, managed all the details, and even picked up the kegs. I really wanted fireworks, and there was a last-minute hiccup; Alexa found a work around AND I didn’t even know about it until after the event. She even delivered multiple options for a last-minute request the week of the party. Alexa thinks of details that never even occurred to me, and just handles them. For example, we didn’t have a car to take gifts home, so Alexa delivered them HERSELF to our house the next morning!!
The party was so great, we had multiple groups of people try and crash (don’t worry Alexa stopped them)! So many of my guests congratulated me on pulling off such an amazing event, I felt a little guilty taking credit, because Alexa did all the heavy lifting. I can’t wait for an excuse to have another party, just so I can work with Alexa again. Bottom line, if you hire Alexa your event will be amazing, and planning it will be stress-free and effortless.
