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!

VERY pleased with Modest Events!

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.

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.

Hi, you can call me Ali! I've been in the event business for about 10 years at different companies and venues. I always wanted the client to to be the priority and above all, the center of my attention. That is why I created Modest Events. I want my clients to feel special, heard, and stress free when planning their special day. I like to listen to what you want and need, and provide that for you in a calming environment that will make the planning process as fun as possible. Hopefully by the end, we'll be friends too!
