  Wedding of our DREAMS! (and then some!)

  Where do I even start? My fiance and I were planning our wedding from a different state, and despite thinking I could handle some of the planning, I figured we would need someone local/in Tennessee to help execute the wedding of our dreams - and wow, what an understatement that turned out to be.
  
  Allison was absolutely invaluable. From our first zoom meeting to the wedding, she ensured everything we were discussing and planning had my and my fiance's personalities, tastes, opinions and most importantly, relationship in mind. I really respected how invested she was in getting to know us as a couple so that our wedding could be as personalized and reflective of "us" as possible. Our wedding was on family property and she took the time to get to know the venue and our families as well - always keeping an open line of communication with them to help coordinate and transform an already special place into an absolute dream venue.
  
  She gives you the freedom to be as involved (or as not involved) as you'd like with all aspects of planning, and I really appreciated how I was able to be very hands-on while still being able to trust her to take care of things. It helped me feel not as overwhelmed knowing she was in our corner doing a lot of hard work behind the scenes, especially when it came to putting our vision into a beautiful ceremony and reception design and working with all of our vendors in the Knoxville/eastern TN area. Her relationships, experiences and recommendations with vendors/wedding professionals in the area were extremely helpful and an amazing asset - especially with us planning from a distance - and I was so pleased she was able to form the same type of relationships with some vendors we chose that she had never worked with before.
  
  She allowed us to share our ideas, priorities, concerns, etc. and used her expertise to either help build upon/optimize those ideas and priorities, provide alternatives or guidance with concerns and questions, or come up with new, fresh ideas that hadn't even crossed our mind. Her creativity and unique perspective as a wedding designer - in addition to her planning and coordinating skills - is irreplaceable.
  
  Everything I've mentioned above (and more) culminated in a wedding day that was perfectly us and more beautiful than we could have ever imagined. Having Allison and her team (Sarah and Erin) there for the rehearsal and wedding day helped make it the most enjoyable and memorable experience for not only us, but for our families and guests as well. They took care of everything - and I mean EVERYTHING. From the vendor coordination, to the design/set-up, to ensuring things ran smoothly and on time - myself, my husband, our bridal party, our family and our guests did not have to worry about anything other than soaking in every moment and being fully present - and that is something that is absolutely invaluable on your wedding day. If there was a hiccup in the plan - I had and still have absolutely no idea about it. All I have are memories of our perfect wedding - and our guests are still talking about what a great time they had (our wedding was in October 2021) - it wouldn't have been the same without Allison and her team.
  
  If you are looking for someone who will work hard to execute and elevate your wedding vision and don't know where to start - reach out to Allison and see if her services might be a match for you - you won't regret it!

  Allison was absolutely wonderful. She made sure that my daughter's wedding went off without a hitch and took so much pressure off of me so that I too could enjoy the day. I would recommend her to everyone planning a wedding.

  Allison Gaddis of Live Laugh Love Weddings was a crucial vendor in making my wedding day such a success. My mom and I knew we wanted a wedding day coordinator so that we would not be stressed or panicked on the day of. I met with Allison, discussed some ideas about decor and general mood of the wedding and I felt like we were very much on the same page. After booking Allison, we met 3-4 times over the next 9 months before my wedding. She worked VERY closely with All Occasions and Samuel Franklin Florist to make sure my vision for the day was perfect. She knows and has great relationships with many vendors around Knoxville which helps things run smoothly. When my cake baker backed out a month before the wedding day, she immediately said it would be fine and she would get a "back pocket" vendor to bake my cake. She attended my tasting with her and my final meeting with the florist. My reception was not in a conventional location and she designed an awesome floor plan that was original and fit perfectly with my vision. Once the summer wedding season kicks up, she is a little harder to reach via email, but if you trust that she has it all taken care of, you will see she is well worth the money spent to have someone there to tell people when to walk down the aisle, direct people to the reception, set up all your decor, coordinate your vendors and let you drive away with your groom without anything to worry about! I enjoyed her so much that my best friend is using Allison for her upcoming wedding.

  Allison did an unbelievable job helping us plan our big day at The Emporium in downtown Knoxville. She understands how to make a wedding beautiful on any budget and pays attention to the details. She has relationships with very reliable vendors and helped stretch our money as far as possible. She handled all logistics on the day of the wedding and I truly feel like I got to sit back, relax, and enjoy my big day. She was the best investment we made during the entire wedding process!!

  Allison was able to take our vision and make it happen. She was with us the entire way and was able to run interference when we needed it. I would recommend her to anyone!
