COVID-19 Wedding Cancellation - So Thankful for the Kimpton Alexis!

My fiancé and I had a wedding scheduled at the Kimpton Alexis Hotel for April 25, 2020. Unfortunately, we had to make the tough decision to cancel the wedding due to the current COVID-19 scare. The whole team at the Alexis has been nothing but great, before, during and after this decision.

Angie Casper was our main point of contact during the planning process – she’s been such a joy to work with. We’ve done multiple walk throughs of the venue with Angie, she responds to all correspondence quickly and worked hard to make every vision we had come to life. Angie was able to provide vendor recommendations for anything we needed outside of the venue. If this wedding were to move forward as planned, I 100% believe Angie would have pulled it off without a hitch.

Overall, we are SO thankful we chose the Kimpton Alexis as our venue. I’ve been reading nightmare stories of brides canceling/rescheduling their weddings for the same reason as mine, and their experience has been less than ideal. Even with contract restrictions, the Kimpton has gone above and beyond to make sure WE felt taken care of. No one planned for this. If we decide to attempt a wedding again, after the dust settles, we will ABSOLUTELY come back to the Kimpton Alexis Hotel.

This venue was fantastic! The venue coordinator Angie was absolutely amazing! She was very quick to respond to emails and available for phone calls whenever we needed as our wedding was a destination wedding. The food was absolutely amazing and it was great that we could costumize our menu to our tastes and didn't just select from a pre-made list. Also our guests raved about staying at the hotel and the room blocks were easy to set up and Zoe was very easy to work with to arrange that. Also free wine hour in the hotel for guests of the hotel which worked great with our rehersal :)

Working with the Alexis while planning our wedding was wonderful!! Whitney at the Alexis was phenomenal to work with. She always responded to my emails (and my many family members who wrote to her too) within 24 hours and answered each and every question with a clear answer. She was flexible with changes and often offered great ideas to consider. We received great value for money too, which made us love our experience at the Alexis that much more. I highly recommend the Alexis!! We booked the venue 20 months out from our wedding date and had a smooth experience during that entire time. Thank you Whitney and the whole team at the Alexis!!
