Rehearsal Dinner/Welcome Party -- Outstanding balance of elegance/value
Lexis brings excellent judgment, vast and creative resources, and a gentle guiding hand to decision-making that brilliantly balances elegance/abundance/classiness with practicality and good value. She was superb at tailoring her 'curation' of our rehearsal dinner and welcome party to my vision for the evening--she listened to my vision, and improved upon it at every opportunity. She is expert in asking questions that help to narrow down choices, and she kept track of so many details that I didn't even realize needed to be tracked. For me, Lexis was exactly on point with her responsiveness and proactiveness, and consistently had a thoughtful answer to every question I posed, as she had already anticipated and given thought to my questions. Our discussions were fun and stimulating, and our beachside event was incredible in Every. Single. Detail. She also was great to gently remind me about the need for backup planning and selecting elements that could work indoors, should the weather have dictated a last-minute shift to inside. Ultimately, the weather cooperated, but having the peace of mind for our risk-management plan was incredibly worthwhile, thanks to Lexis.
Lexis is experienced in a wide range of scenarios and vendors and venues and budgets, and her confidence and self-assuredness helped me to feel confident and joyful throughout the planning AND the actual event. She is steady, unruffled by unexpected challenges, gracious, gentle, clear-headed, flexible, and extremely careful/thoughtful in spending $$$ without a very compelling reason to do so. She has a great sense of where to invest, and where to choose a budget-friendly option, and it worked perfectly. Lexis has a tireless work ethic, and does not cut corners. Her energy level did not wane, and I always felt like I was her only client, even though she clearly has multiple clients at any given time! She keeps tabs on multiple elements of the event without being over-controlling, and it was clear that the many vendors respected her and enjoyed working with her. And I know that Lexis took care of many tasks and details that she never even revealed to me -- problems that were solved before they became problems. THIS is the mark of a true professional and expert in the field. The best decision we made was to engage the services of The Aisle Wedding for our pre-party, rehearsal dinner, and welcome party, all outdoors and on the beach. So many challenges, and so much success. Our guests repeatedly commented and gushed on how beautiful, elegant, fun, romantic, generous, abundant and set-apart were our events. Lexis and The Aisle Wedding made this true. Brava tutti!
