Carolyn Sent on 06/17/2021A Dream Come True
Hiring Alex was hands down the best decision we made. She’s an experienced planner with an excellent eye for design. From the very beginning, she listened carefully to our vision and always respected our budget. She gave us sound advice on where to splurge and where to save, which looking back was absolutely invaluable. And talk about grace under pressure, she was incredibly gracious with all the challenges and curveballs that the COVID pandemic threw our way. She helped us seamlessly navigate three date changes, a venue change, and state change like a pro. Our venue change left us 90 days to plan a nearly entirely new wedding, but with Alex by my side every step of the way it was honestly a breeze. On the wedding day, seeing everything finally come together was truly breathtaking and brought tears to my eyes. Our wedding was truly perfection thanks to Alex. I already miss working with her and its only been a few weeks since we were married!

Audrey Sent on 04/11/2023Alex and her team are incredible!!!
Alex is a God send! We had our wedding at the Waldorf Astoria in DC & our rehearsal dinner at The Hay Adams hotel. We are from Oklahoma so planning a wedding out of town for 200 people would not have been possible without Alex and her team! We interviewed several planners but Alex stood out to us from the beginning. I remember her saying to us when we interviewed her that “[her] husband says this is bad marketing but, you should choose a planner who you fit best with because you will be communicating with them a lot!” And, lucky for us, it was her! She truly wants her couples to be happy!! We hired her for full wedding planning. She helped scout locations, negotiated contracts (which is tough!!), designed each and every detail of the weekend, put us in contact with the BEST vendors, and sooo much more. She is extremely meticulous and every detail has so much thought poured into it. She had our wedding weekend timeline down to the minute. She is crazy organized, professional, quick to respond, and makes you feel like the only couple she’s working with! She is extremely kind and did all of the “dirty work” for us. She helped us stay budget conscious. I frequently asked for her opinions because I knew I could trust her. She ALWAYS gave us her honest opinion!! I can’t recommend her enough! I consider her a friend now and even most of the vendors that we used through her, too. Her work is impeccable and she hit our vision perfectly. -

Amy T. Sent on 11/13/2019Alex is the best. Ever.
I don't even know where to start - working with Alex was absolutely one of my favorite parts of wedding planning. Alex designed our wedding and also did our month-of coordination. I already miss her!
When it came to hiring a planner, my husband and I were unsure if we needed one. I'm a detail-oriented, organized person and always assumed I'd be able to tackle wedding planning on my own. BOY WAS I WRONG. Alex is so incredibly knowledgeable, and we truly could not have done this without her.
To start, she answered and handled questions I had about vendors. Budget was something that was really important to me and my family, Alex helped us navigate unnecessary costs and choose vendors that fit our budget. Next, she got to know us so that our design reflected us as a couple. She incorporated the most fun, personalized details into our wedding that our guests loved. Finally, she made our wedding day the most relaxed day ever. I cannot imagine how stressful the day would've been without her. Her detailed timeline kept everything on schedule so that we could truly enjoy every moment.
I could go on and on about how amazing she is. If you are looking for a thoughtful, organized, skilled, detail-oriented planner, Alex is your girl! -

Katy, our day-of coordinator, was AMAZING! I truly can't say enough great things about her. She was responsive (both via email and via text), she communicated an incredible amount with both us and our vendors, and most importantly, she was completely on top of all that needed to be communicated between us and our vendors. She answered so many emails and questions without involving my husband and I, and as I was needing to answer enough texts and emails from guests leading up to the big day, not having to answer any vendor emails was amazing. Having Katy handle all of the things that made our day what it was was such a huge relief and weight off our shoulders. Not only was she great at her job, but she was always so friendly and flexible. Thank you, Katy!! :) -
Ansley Sent on 10/14/2018I hired Alex for her full service package as my wedding planner and it was the best money we spent by far! She made a beautiful design plan that brought my vision to life and worked with me to make sure every detail was perfect. She was always available to answer my questions and in a timely manner. Having Alex help recommend other wedding vendors was also a huge help. There are so many choices out there and being able to narrow down the pool makes it infinitely easier to select them. The most valuable help she gave me was negotiating with vendors, handling vendor coordination, and creating a timeline. I have been a professional event planner in the past and still found I was in way over my head when it came to dealing with wedding vendors and creating a timeline. I am a very detail oriented person and Alex accommodated all of my crazy requests and if it wasn't possible, she took the time to explain why and figure out an alternative I was happy with. Having Alex handle all the vendor and venue communication the month of was a life saver! It took so much stress off my plate and I knew everything would be taken care of. Alex and her team (event coordinator Kristina!) executed my wedding flawlessly on the day of and I was so pleased with how everything turned out. We got so many compliments on how beautiful the wedding was and it truly was a dream. If you are still on the fence about hiring a wedding planner, DO IT and make sure you hire Alex and her team!!

Becca Sent on 01/17/2023Hiring ANE was the best decision of my wedding!
I cannot say enough positive things about my experience with ANE! I worked with Katy and one assistant for month-of coordination for my wedding. I am an extremely type-A and stressed out bride, but from the moment that we retained ANE, I felt so much more at ease. Before our contract period even began, Katy was helpful in providing a few vendor recommendations. She was timely and thorough in all of her communications, and asked all of the questions that I wouldn't have thought about. I seriously did not have to tell her any detail twice—she kept everything organized and on track. She wrangled vendors who were less communicative or otherwise difficult and truly "went to bat" for me with all of my vendors and creative team. On my wedding day, Katy made it so that I actually felt like my husband, our parents, and I were the guests of honor and not stressed out hosts. Every detail, from personal decor items to timeline idiosyncracies was perfect because of Katy's attention to detail, patience, and execution. She even went so far as to curl my hair in the moments before my ceremony because it had fallen due to humidity. I truly would have paid double what I did for Katy's level of competence and her hard work in going above and beyond on my wedding day. Katy / ANE are the best and I would recommend her to everyone I know!! -

Where do I even start!? Alex was our month-of coordinator for our wedding and she was AMAZING! From the beginning, she was a wealth of wedding knowledge and advice, and was always so quick to respond to any questions we had, even when we were over a year out. We decided to postpone our wedding because of Covid, and Alex gave us all the information we needed to navigate moving to our new date with a detailed postponement strategy, not to mention she was super kind and supportive throughout the process of making this very difficult decision! Leading up to our wedding, we were so at ease because we knew Alex had every detail covered – she is extremely organized, an exceptional communicator, and has incredible attention to detail. I was seriously in awe of her thorough day-of timeline and decor list that she put together and managed in the months leading up to our big day, and I can’t even imagine all of the vendor communication that she was taking care of behind the scenes. When the big day finally came, Alex brought everything together so smoothly and perfectly, it was amazing! Because of her and her team, we were able to fully enjoy every beautiful moment of our wedding day and not have to worry for even a second about planning. Alex made sure everyone was where they needed to be at the right times, that my now husband and I were enjoying ourselves and were well taken care of, and that every single detail was perfectly in place. I cannot recommend Alex and her team enough, she is a rockstar planner and hiring her was by far the best decision we made! HIGHLY recommend!
