Andrea Sent on 10/30/2019Best planners ever!
I hired A'vie Events for my wedding and it was the best decision ever! I chose the last 3 month of planning as I was beginning a doctoral program 3 months before my wedding and needed all the help I could get. They helped direct my initial planning and made sure I was on track, gave me recommendations for vendors and where to get supplies when I needed them, and then absolutely blew me away on the wedding day. All my guests raved about how it was the best wedding they had ever been to and ran so smoothly and on time. I truly could not have had the day of my dreams if it had not been for Angela and her team!A'vie Events's reply:
You were a gem to work with. The love for the details, how you worked so well with our system and staying in communication with us. We couldn't be happier on our end. I was always singing you praises about how much you were ahead of the game with your wedding details. Everything came together so well. What a gorgeous wedding. Seeing everything you dreamed of being put into the right places. Thank you for allowing us to be chosen for your big day. ~Angela -

Our wedding was not easy to plan. We live 4 hours away from Gainesville and if it wasn't for Angela, Alexandra, and the A'vie team our wedding wouldn't have gone so well. Additionally, we had to deal with rain on our wedding day and Alexandra was able to help us navigate around the planning obstacle the rain created. All in all, we wouldn't have had such a great wedding without them. We appreciate you so much!A'vie Events's reply:
Jonathan,
I'm so happy we could be there for you on your wedding day! Even with the rain, it was absolutely beautiful and you both looked so happy! I'm glad we had a contingency plan for everything and that we were blessed with a break in the rain as Janelle walked up the aisle. It was truly a special day and I'm so thankful we got to be a part of it! We wish you both the very best and a lifetime of happiness! - Alexandra -

Michael D. Sent on 03/06/2019Always a pleasure (and relief!) to work with A`vie Events! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
I can't say enough wonderful things about Angela, Miranda, Stefany and the entire A`vie Events staff! They are absolute rock stars and I constantly recommend them to anybody searching for event planning and coordinating needs! My business has used A`vie for company parties, community events, and the many seasonal rushes that bring floods of customers and chaos to our dealership. Their commitment to our customers and team is matched by their professionalism and communication and they leave no stones unturned. They bring me so much piece of mind and having them on hand during crunch time relieves so much stress, I truly can't imagine an event without them! They are such a blessing to anyone they work with!A'vie Events's reply:
Michael,
It is our pleasure to take care of your team for so many events. You have allowed us the joy to be entrusted to take care of the details so you can truly enjoy the events as a guest. Exactly what we want you to do.
Thank you for choosing A`vie Events.

Lauren Sent on 02/03/2019Better than we could've dreamed of!
Ms. Angela and her team were simply incredible! Ms. Angela met with me multiple times, including at the venue itself, to go over every last detail. I felt so comfortable knowing that she was taking care of everything the day of our wedding. She was organized and helped me to cover some things I had not even considered. We had a specialized table for the Persian elements of our wedding and Ms. Angela got it just perfect. Ms. Angela responded to every question in a timely manner and even held on to some of our wedding belongings until after we got back from our honeymoon. She is a genuine, kind person who truly loves what she does and it shows. She made our every dream come true and I would recommend her and her company to anyone and everyone. A 5 star experience for sure! You can't go wrong with A'Vie events.A'vie Events's reply:
Lauren, thank you for choosing us to take care of the details of your wedding. It was our joy to make sure every detail was exactly the way you wanted.
You’re right, I do love what I do. 💜~Angela -

Elizabeth O. Sent on 03/06/2019Best Wedding Investment!
My husband and I thought we couldn’t afford a planner for our wedding, but we knew we needed help pulling the details together in the months leading up to and a coordinator for the day of. We couldn't have been happier with Angela and her team - it was the best investment for our wedding. From the start Angela was attentive to our concerns and needs and as it turned out, A’vie was entirely affordable. We wished we had hired the team earlier in the planning process! Angela composed a comprehensive agenda to tackle our to-do list and a schedule for the big day to share with vendors and the wedding party. It became clear to us that A’vie has worked with many different vendors in North Florida and they have a great relationship with each of them. Angela went above and beyond what we expected and communicated final details with each vendor before the wedding to ensure everything was on track – a huge stress relief for us.
The morning of the wedding I woke up feeling under the weather, but Angela was on it. She showed up with crackers, Gatorade, and ginger ale. She was truly caring and ready to tackle everything that came her way. She also had two coordinators from her team helping out who were able to jump into action right away. Our wedding day was nonstop from about 8AM to 11PM, a schedule Angela and her team handled with grace and efficiency. This included getting the entire wedding party from Sweetwater Branch Inn to the UF stadium for photos and back again in time for the ceremony!
After recently attending another wedding that did not have a coordinator, we saw how stressful the situation was for the bride, groom, and family members who were running around trying to make everything fall into place. We were reminded how very thankful we were for Angela and her team at our wedding. Her calm and cheerful personality kept everyone relaxed and she never seemed stressed. We received so many compliments from family and friends about how smoothly our wedding went. Thank you so much, A’vie!A'vie Events's reply:
Elizabeth and Robert,
It brings great joy to my heart to hear this. I know that so many people feel having a coordinator can be expensive. We know we aren't the cheapest but it is our heart to go beyond and truly serve and take care of the client in any way possible.
Even making sure we can get on the field for pictures at UF. :)
Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your special day.
Many blessings to you both.

Samantha Sent on 04/01/2008We couldn't have possibly pulled off this wedding without A'vie! They are amazing. Angela and her crew are the masters of organization and planning! Everything went off without a hitch. They can foresee any setbacks down the road and plan for them accordingly. On the day of the wedding, the boutineers for the groomsmen were the wrong color, and Angela got the florist to fix them and personally deliver them to the hotel, even though she was on her way out of town. I had FOUR wedding coordinators on the job for my big day! I even had my OWN personal attendant who was there to touch up my lip gloss or make sure that I sipped on water all day. HIGHLY recommended! We also rented our specialty linens through them. -

Dytis Sent on 03/04/2020Make the right decision for you...
Initially everything was going great because of the lead planner ALEXANDRA...the one star A'vie receives from me is because of her, not the owner. Alexandra was efficient, timely, professional, and just an all-around great person to work with. She was on top of things before we even signed the contract. With all of that being said, A'vie as a company did not live up to the hype. We purchased the platinum package, and with that I was suppose to have 4 planners (including the owner) taking care of all of my wedding coordination and planning. What it ended up being was Alexandra taking care of practically everything with the help of an unpaid intern (which was amazing as well), and the owner being present when it was convenient. As a result of a number of issues I choose not to disclose, we opted to terminate the contract with A'vie. The most alarming part of what is suppose to be some of the happiest days of my life is that the owner has refused to refund us our money. She has been non-responsive to my emails and phone calls...almost like she has disappeared. Besides all of that, I did not write this review to be nasty. I am writing this review to help someone else who may be considering using A'vie for their event. Be mindful of what you are paying for (I would recommend paying them in installments, with them receiving the last payment right before the event) and hold them to just that in the event they are not meeting your expectations. Make your own decisions and do not be coerced into doing something or working with someone you don't want to. Make the right decision for you. If I needed to plan/coordinate another event, I would definitely make a difference choice.A'vie Events's reply:
Kima,
I'm sorry that you feel that Alexandra did everything for your wedding. That is not the case at all. If you were a fly in the office you would have seen a much bigger picture. To know that all of us put in about every event. We want to make sure that each client/bride is well cared for and taken into account. It is our commitment to honor their contract and do more than they ever expect.
Every time, something needed to be done for your wedding we as a team discussed it before it was taken care of. It may have been communicated through Alexandra and Francisco to you but that does not mean that I was not heavily involved in the decision making. With over 29 years of experience and the owner, I am the one who helps to guide and train those who work under me on which vendors would be the right ones for your wedding. So we get you to the right vendors within a few tries versus multiple appointments. Saving you time, stress and inconvenience.
I hope that one day you will see all that A`vie Events did as a whole for your wedding planning needs. We have Core Values that we run A`vie Events by. They are as follows:
-Create meaningful relationships with our clients and vendors
-Elite only experiences - always aim for more, nothing less?
-Serve our clients - ADVOCATE
-Own it!
-Pay it FORWARD...give back to the community with non-profit events
-Be Classy not Sassy
We would be honored to continue to plan your wedding as we have spoken to you and your father if you would give us the opportunity. If not, we wish you the very best wedding and marriage anyone could ever have.
Blessings,
Angela
Owner of A`vie Events
