Amazing !!!

Elyse and Sunny helped maker our day literally the best day ever. We hired Elyse as a partial planner, highly recommend as it’s helpful to know she’s got your back AND she helped us find our caterer, DJ and photo/video package. All of our vendor teams were woman led and that meant the world to us. Elyse is patient, composed, and extremely knowledgeable. She let us actually enjoy our day - hands down best investment ever and i am so grateful for her support

We wouldn't have as many wonderful memories of our wedding without Modern Aisles.

Elyse and Alanna were amazing and made our wedding such a fun and profound experience!

We went with the partial planning package and were very happy with the level of support and encouragement we received for the price of the package. We had check-in meetings with Elyse that were so productive and thoughtful, she is very responsive and easy to communicate with. She also did a wonderful job at helping us with our nerves, putting things into perspective and providing expert opinions.

Alanna worked with us on the day of the event and she made magic happen! I had so many of our guests get in touch later and compliment Alanna's presence and her work.

We had a great experience with Modern Aisles, especially as a queer couple. We felt heard and safe and respected. We wouldn't have the wonderful memories of our wedding without Elyse and Alanna from Modern Aisles.

Elyse is an Amazing Wedding Planner!

Elyse, our wedding planner was absolutely phenomenal! From the very beginning, she guided us through every step of the planning process with expertise and care as my husband and I had very little idea on how to start wedding planning. On the day of the wedding, she ensured everything ran smoothly, making our special day perfect and stress-free. She also gave amazing recommendations for a DJ and photographers, adding to the magic of our celebration. We couldn’t have asked for a better planner to make our dream wedding come true! Recommend 100%!

Great experience

We enjoyed working with Modern Aisles. It was important to us to work with a wedding planner who was LGBT+ friendly. Elyse asked about our specific preferences, weighed in on the best execution and we were able to have really special moments like a low stimulation (low stim) area, bubble send off, and last minute asks and final touches. She was fabulous on the day-of, helping to settle our nerves, attach boutonnieres, and setting up the space perfectly. We would definitely recommend.

Amazing! Would recommend

Modern Aisles was amazing. We used their full wedding planning plan, and received help through the entire process. Elyse really wanted to get our vision and feel for our wedding and did an amazing job. She was very accessible throughout the planning process, was willing to help us troubleshoot problems with our venue, and was amazing the day of amid a few challenges. We couldn’t have had an amazing wedding without Modern Aisles.

Backyard wedding dream

We had the incredible fortune of having Elyse as our wedding coordinator, and we are so grateful that we chose her and Modern Aisles to manage the details of our special day. Despite hiring her for day-of-coordination only, she exceeded all expectations by going above and beyond to ensure every aspect of our wedding was executed flawlessly.

Elyse impressed us from the outset by taking the time to meet with us multiple times, demonstrating her commitment to understanding our vision and making it a reality. Her meticulous attention to detail and organizational prowess became evident as she diligently followed up on all the loose ends in the days leading up to the wedding, making sure all the preparations were on track.

Beyond her exceptional organizational skills, Elyse possesses a remarkable blend of warmth and professionalism. Her genuine passion for her work shone through in every interaction, making us feel not just like clients, but like friends. It was evident that she genuinely cared about making our dreams a reality and that dedication was truly invaluable. She stepped in and helped when we had to find a new caterer at the last minute, offering support and reassurance and looking up recommendations.

On the day of the wedding, Elyse and her assistant Cody were nothing short of phenomenal. They were the epitome of efficiency, effortlessly managing every aspect of the event. From coordinating with vendors to managing the intricate details of the decorations, they were everywhere at once, ensuring that every element was perfectly in place. Their seamless coordination with the DJ, catering team, photographer and other key people made the entire day perfectly executed.

Thanks to Elyse's unwavering dedication and hard work, we were able to enjoy our special day without having to worry about logistics. From start to finish, she was there to ensure that everything ran smoothly, allowing us to savor each moment with our loved ones. She even stayed late and put away decorations and rental equipment so we could enjoy our reception and not have to worry about clean-up when we were trying to leave for our honeymoon.

Attentive and caring wedding planners

Working with Elyse and Sunni at Modern Aisles was a dream. From the start we felt like we had someone on our side to ensure that our hopes and goals for the entire wedding experience were top of mind. Neither me or my husband had to worry about a thing when it came to logistics on the weekend of the wedding. Plus, they're both just good hangs and were a joy to have at the ceremony itself. It's always nice to introduce your friends and family to coordinators who you like to have around. Highly recommend for all couples!

Amazing coordinator!

Elyse is great! She was the day-of coordinator for our wedding in June 2023, but "day of" isn't accurate when you count the months of super helpful emails, zoom calls, and walkthroughs ahead of time. In particular, we wanted her help with vendor recommendations that would fit our vibe, and the team she helped us craft was fantastic! Elyse took care of everything on the actual day of the wedding, allowing us to have a truly magical day where we could live completely in the moment. Last but not least, Elyse is mother-approved!

Incredible and Lovely Wedding Planners

Working with Modern Aisles was such a supremely delightful, helpful, and smart decision. We were so well prepared for our wedding with Modern Aisles' planning, assistance, evaluation, and framing, which really allowed us to enjoy our day of experience. Elyse's expansive knowledge and understanding of wedding events, dynamics, and variables really is such an asset - we learned so much by working with her and looking back, there's no way our wedding would have been as incredibly successful without their assistance.

Their day-of support was so very essential and Modern Aisles seamlessly worked with our wedding party, event staff, and other folks to really enhance our experience. We cannot emphasize enough how grateful we are for all their support - so much was above and beyond what we expected.

We cannot recommend them enough and we are beyond satisfied for their services!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
