Simply the best wedding planning ever!!!

Ali and Kathleen are the ultimate dream team and our wedding wouldn't have been what it was without them!
From planning with us in a different time zone, to handing a wedding party of almost 20 people, to being our saving grace with vendor communication, there was nothing they didn't get done!
My mom has planned events her whole life and she couldn't believe the organization, professionalism, and absolute charm they showed with everyone from our family to venue staff.
If you want your wedding to be simply amazing, look no further than Modest Events. I know these ladies will be lifelong friends and we are forever grateful.

Modest Events Review

Ali was incredible in helping us bring our wedding vision to life! She was there the whole way and helped us to coordinate our vendors, oversee all the details, and ensure the day went exactly according to plan. She was behind the scenes taking care of every detail, solving every problem, which allowed us to enjoy the day! I HIGHLY recommend Ali for both planning and day-of coordination because it will help you be in the moment and enjoy your special time. Ali is committed to her clients and she will work with you to ensure your special day is exactly like you envisioned!

Ali & Kathleen did a spectacular job for my daughters wedding out in the Hamptons this summer.
They are personable, courteous, prompt and very organized!
We are so grateful to them for all their extra special care and attention they gave to ALL of the wedding party.

Ali brings years of event and wedding planning experience

I have worked with Ali for years in the event planning industry and she is one of the best. She is very comfortable to talk too and has a stress free and laid back attitude towards planning that in turn set's her client's minds at ease. She has a passion to really get to know people's vision inside and out and has a strong work ethic to bring events to life from first phone call to event conclusion.

Friendly and realistic

It was like planning my event with one of my best friends! Modest events was friendly and realistic based on the expectations I had for my event. Never made me feel rushed or dismissed and made everything so seemingly effortless. It was perfect! Thank you Modest Events!
