Kind, professional, and expert day-of-wedding coordination
Alanna was a godsend. I am so happy I stumbled upon her and her very unique product--day-of coordination! Do you have a small budget? Are you planning on creating and buying your own decor? Do you have a vision that you know you can put together but don't want to have to spend time and energy worrying on the day of your wedding?! Great! Alanna is the one for you! I had a vision and didn't trust just anyone to help pull it off. Yet, it was a no-brainer that we needed Alanna when we met her! She was friendly, caring, experienced, and very professional. I knew we had to have her for our wedding. Her package and service was perfect. We had a lot of our decorations picked out and an idea of what we wanted, we just needed someone we could trust to take over the day-of. Alanna went above and beyond that. We were to marry in May of this year; however, when the quarantine mandates were rumored...Alanna, with her knowledge and expertise, helped us navigate those scary, uncharted waters. She was there to guide us through the rescheduling and negotiations with our vendors. It was scary but having her a text away to guide us was invaluable and we will be forever grateful. She never left us to figure it out alone. Beyond that, the day of our wedding was magic and without hiccups! At least if there were, we NEVER found out! The weeks leading up to the wedding, she helped with details we would have never thought of--and her execution of the decor and setup was super intuitive of what I wanted. Alanna made sure that our day was perfect...and it was. Alanna's service was the best. We highly highly recommend her and her team.-

Galbiati Wedding 10.19.2024
My daughter's wedding day was the Best Day Ever! This was largely due to all the work Alanna Bunce put into making it perfect. Alanna started working with us three months out from the wedding date and she was absolutely amazing! Her organization kept us always in "the know" and never having to wonder what had left to be done to prepare for the special day. Alanna connected on a personal level with the bride and groom and with the rest of our family. She was always very responsive and willing to make changes on a moment's notice if necessary. For Alanna, the wedding day is about the bride and the groom and she does anything and everything needed to always make them feel that way. Her attention to detail is unmatched and so is her sweet and genuine character. As the mother of the bride, I would highly recommend Alanna at Simply Sweet Weddings if you want your day to be the Best Day Ever!! -

A dream!!!
Alanna was absolutely amazing! She was by my side since day one, supportive and very responsive. When I thought of a day of coordinator, I considered literally the day of. Alanna was WAY more than that!! We booked her fall of 2021 for our Sept 2022 wedding and when I would push wedding planning to the back burner she always texted or emailed me to check in and see if I needed anything. Alanna communicated with our vendors very efficiently, she got along with our families, friends and guests as if they were her own!! The day of was everything and more than I could have ever dreamt of. I remember showing up to the venue and just being amazed with the details and work she put into everything. I would recommend Alanna to any bride to be, she made wedding planning and our big day so so special!-

We love you, Alanna!
Alanna is a pro with such good vibes. From the beginning, we loved her energy and we felt so supported the whole way. Our day went so smoothly and we have Alanna to thank. She was a knowledgeable resource, she was flexible with her scheduling, and she never got awkward when we bickered in front of her. Hey, that's a real skill when you're dealing with stressed out couples! She also provided several services which just made it easier for us-- sparklers, bartender, etc. We definitely would recommend her to anyone. Our date was 2/19/22 at Shiraz Garden. -

Simply Sweet Weddings was the best decision we made for our wedding day
We met Alanna in October 2019 when she coordinated my now-husband's sister's wedding. We told her then that we were going to hire her when we got married and that's exactly what we did! We actually moved our initial wedding date so that Alanna could coordinate for us - that's how much we wanted to work with her. Alanna is incredibly responsive, supportive, kind, generous, and hilarious. Alanna listened to what we wanted, and helped us plan for the exact wedding we envisioned. We hired many people from her vendor suggestions and legit everyone we worked with through her was awesome. We had access to her calendar so we could schedule as many meetings as we wanted during our planning time and she always made sure we were prioritizing the right things at the right time. If we were having a bit of a panic (which definitely happens during wedding planning) she would respond via text/phone call almost immediately and help keep us sane and focused. We honestly had a fun time planning our wedding and we have Alanna to thank for that. On our wedding day, we were able to relax and have fun because we completely trusted that Alanna would take care of everything. I have been telling everyone I know who is either planning a wedding now, or will be in the future, to hire Alanna because you will be happy/satisfied/amazed. -

Alanna is amazing!
Alanna did such an amazing job communicating with everyone involved with our wedding. We were blown away with how perfect our day turned out. The vision we had in our minds was exactly, if not more, than what we got. Alanna listened to so many of my anxieties and concerns along the way from RSVPs to food to music and everything in between. She has this cool, calm, & collected personality where I am freaking out and she's like it'll be handled. Alanna took care of every little detail at the rehearsal to the day of and beyond. She never made me feel like I was asking too many questions or that my questions were ridiculous. She truly helped me feel like a stress free bride the day of my wedding and I am so grateful! Our wedding was absolutely beautiful and Alanna was the biggest factor in that! -

Amazing Work - Amazing Team Player
Alanna was be far one of our biggest asset and best hire. She is an amazing coordinator and now a life long friend. We hired Alanna two years ago and despite a long distance and a long time she didn’t miss a beat. She communicated with us over that span listening to our ideas and contributing her own. She always was enthusiastic, professional, and always had a smile. On our day of the wedding she’s made sure to be available the moment we needed her. She has amazing ideas that you don’t think about; such as having us eat in private before everyone else. This allowed us to have some time to ourselves, eat our dinner but still have plenty of time to mingle when everyone else ate. With the parents and family she acted as that much needed barrier when they became demanding wanting to know times, and order of events, she took over and answered all their question, saving us another headache. She was on point, and worked so hard on our big day it showed. She never flinched when we needed her, making sure things went smoothly, if there was a problem we had no idea because she took care of it. She’s worth it and amazing at her job. I can’t say enough how much value she is in a wedding. We, and our guests were so happy, and we are happy she got to be part of our big day. -

5 million stars
FIVE MILLION STARS FOR ALANNA AND HER TEAM!!!!!! Alanna went so far above and beyond — she was there with us far more than just the day of, she answered every single question with a smile, thought of things we hadn't even considered, and took on every last detail. We literally cannot imagine having our day without her, she is hands down the best money you can spend on your wedding. We worked with her for bartending as well, and it was flawless - we got so many compliments from our guests on the bartender, as well as on Alanna's making everything go so smoothly while staying in the background.
A few of my favorite moments from working with Alanna that encapsulate her:
When discussing what to do for the seating chart, she told me "come up with anything you want, show me a picture, and I'll make it happen, nothing is too complicated"
She offered up several of her own accessories to make the day special and save us some money, from table numbers to seating chart framework.
On the day of, after we had dinner we asked her to save the leftovers in case we were hungry later, and she replied, "don't worry, I already put tacos and cookies in your hotel room in case you want them when you get home"
Besides all of this, she is an absolutely wonderful human and delightful to work with. She treats you like you're her only wedding even though she is oh so busy, and truly makes your weekend feel special and stress-free. This is the best money you can spend on your wedding!!!! -

One of the Best Decisions We Made!
Hiring Simply Sweet Weddings was one of the best decisions we made for our day, if not the best. Alanna was beyond amazing from Day 1 and went above and beyond to make sure any questions we had were answered, every detail was taken care of, and gave us invaluable guidance on multiple aspects of our day that we were struggling to figure out. She is so knowledgeable and thoughtful and it truly shows in her work. We had to postpone our wedding by a year for the pandemic and she never missed a beat as she helped us through the craziness of rescheduling. We felt 100% confident going into our day knowing we had someone so capable who truly cared about helping us have the best wedding possible. Our day was incredible because of her and her team and we will forever be grateful that we hired them! -

Exceptional
We simply cannot say enough good things about Alanna and Simply sweet for the beautiful wedding they coordinated for us. In preparation, Alanna held multiple virtual meetings(we live in Houstonand was during Covid), walked us through the wedding day and vendor process, all the while keeping in mind the bigger picture and making sure our day went beautifully. From coordinating the caterer, band, and photographers to handling countless other tasks, we could count on Alanna to and handle tasks so we could enjoy the day stress free. We cannot thank her enough for her time, effort, and thoughtful attention to detail. -

She’s got your back!
We used Brushy Creek Events All-Inclusive package and we were so lucky to get Alanna as our day-of-coordinator!
Before our wedding, Alanna met with us until we had everything finalized and she made sure that if we needed anything she was only a text or call away.
During the day of the wedding, she made our vision come to life! I’m pretty sure placing personal decor was not part of her job, but she did it anyways! I was not stressed at all during the wedding because I know Alanna had our backs!
After the event, she took care of the clean up and made sure our personal decor made it back to our hotel room. She even returned a few rentals items for us without us even asking, giving us less stuff to do after the wedding!
Alanna was so great to work with and from the moment we met her, I knew we were in good hands! Our wedding went so smoothly all because of Alanna. Please do yourself a favor, and hire her for your wedding! -

Couldn’t have done it without her!
Alanna was one thing that made our wedding as smooth and easy as it could be. Throughout the entire process, she guided us on things we would need and didn’t let any detail, small or big, go without some thought. Without her, our wedding day wouldn’t have gone as seamlessly as it could have. Many guests and our parents thanked her for her hard work and attention to detail numerous times. She made she we were fed, hydrated and happy. If I had to plan another wedding, I wouldn’t do it without her. ❤️ -

Lifesaver!
I can't not express how thankful my daughter and I are for Alanna's work and support throughout this process. Due to the pandemic, it only took us 3 tries, but she stuck through it with us! I'm not really sure I can put into words how amazing it was to work with her. We loved her from the very first meeting and knew we were in good hands. It was like making a new friend! She is patient, knowledgeable, organized, and I could go on and on! The wedding day was perfect! I really didn't know what to expect, but she told me not to worry about anything, she had it, and she was right. That day came and went without a hitch! We didn't have to worry about a thing. I would HIGHLY recommend Alanna and Simply Sweet Weddings. -

She is the BEST!
I can't say enough great things about Alanna! We hired her to be our wedding coordinator while we were planning a destination wedding in Austin. We were stationed in Japan throughout the pandemic and she went above and beyond to help us and make sure we were comfortable with everything happening even from the other side of the world. We eventually had to cancel our wedding because we were not able to travel during the pandemic and when we did she was completely understanding and so helpful. Alanna is fun, professional, and an absolute joy to work with! I would recommend her services to everyone! -

Alanna is your planner and new bestie!!
We were referred to a wedding planner by our venue. I didn't know what a planner involved, but i read all of the reviews for Alanna and her team at Simply Sweet Weddings and was sold! Alanna is amazing at what she does and is so fun and comforting. If you have a problem or a question or random thought, she wants to hear about it. There was never a moment where I felt like I couldn't approach her, and she made sure everyone knew the bride and groom were the priority. We made the decisions, and she handled everything else for us. It was so nice to have that soundboard throughout the planning process and someone that could handle the behind the scenes for us. I loved the frequent video check ins, the detailed timeline of events and the ease of wedding planning with Simply Sweet Weddings! -

A Brides Bestie!
Alanna was everything I needed to make it through a wedding during COVID. We began before the craziness started but she turned out to be our peace when things were uncertain. Highly professional yet personable as well. For someone who thrives on things being organized she kept me relaxed knowing she was on top of it all. She made our wedding vision come to light and it was Amazing! -

Absolutely Amazing!
Alanna is absolutely amazing. She is super sweet, personable, and easy to reach/talk to. During the pre-meeting, she asked all of the questions I didn't know needed answers and answered all of the questions I didn't know I had. She made sure everything was exactly how we wanted it, while still making sure we were making decisions that were functional/possible. Everything went off so smoothly, despite things constantly trying to go wrong (on a Friday the 13th wedding). She is absolutely amazing! -

Alanna made our lives so easy! Hire her!
We’re finally settling in and we can’t stop raving about her. I hated the idea of a wedding and she gave us such an amazing day. In all seriousness she should charge double. She didn’t just provide us a service, she provided us a friend and just an overall sense of calm. She is an amazing hype woman who was just 100% for us even when i wasn’t for the wedding. We can’t thank her enough for her support and kindness even when I was raging and just hating the industry. The last week was horrific and she just kept such a level head pushing us to the forefront of every issue so we had a good day. If anything went wrong on Saturday we had no idea.
My father in law saw her measuring out the distance between the cornhole boards to make sure it was regulation. We were kept on-time but never rushed. We haven’t heard a single complaint from anyone that went to the wedding. We have no clue who set up the tables or when the cake got there or when guests got seated. We weren’t hungry or thirsty and were just shuffling around enjoying each other and then it was over. We have so much love for her. Thank you so so so much for a gift we can never repay and for giving us a day with memories I didn’t even know I wanted. She was one of the cheapest purchases of the wedding, and she made the entire thing run so much smoother and better. You will never regret hiring her, we guarantee it.
Thanks again Alanna! Love - The Hubbards -

Wonder Woman
Wow! What can I say about how AMAZING Alanna is?! I'm a wedding photographer and have worked with Alanna in the past. I knew after working with her, I was going to one day book her for my wedding. Really, that's how good she is.
Coordination can be stressful, but she does it SO easily. She gets my stamp of approval so much, I even refer her to my clients. Even under pressure (like when the strap to my dress came undone and we almost had a wardrobe malfunction...) she stays calm and tackles any task.
Thanks for everything, girl! -

Simply Sweet Weddings - AMAZING!
Where to start!
I am a very organized person overall, but Alanna takes organization to the next level! I came across Simply Sweet Weddings online, and by just going through the website I felt such an amazing connection that when we met for the first time, I knew we would be hiring Alanna for our special day!
Alanna was very prepared with a lot of questions that I wouldn't have imagined asking myself. She had so many ideas that made our wedding so special and unique! From the day we hired Alanna, we were very stress free! She has such a positive attitude about EVERYTHING and that's the kind of vibe you want during wedding planning. I was able to get a hold of Alanna pretty much any time of the day, she met with us right around home, and she led us to other great vendors! Our wedding day was so seamless, you do not know how amazing it was for me to just show up ready, walk down the isle and enjoy EVERY second of our wedding. Alanna's heart is in this for the very perfect reason - to help others start the beginning of such an amazing journey the perfect way! She is gold!

So far above and beyond!
We had an amazing wedding it is mostly thanks to Alanna in Simply Sweet Weddings.
Sarah and I did not think we needed a day-of-coordinator. We were so wrong and so happy that we got linked up with Alanna. She treated us like a wedding planner, not just a day-of-coordinator and she almost quite literally threw us on her back and carried us to the finish line. We cannot thank her enough.
There are so many small details and vendors to coordinate with and Alanna took care of all of the communication. She sent constant reminders to keep us on track and she spoke to us like a friend. If there were any issues on our wedding day, Sarah and I were oblivious to it.
Alanna's contacts in the industry were easy to work with and she even found additional server help last minute.
In addition to setting up and cleaning she was even willing to hold on to a garage full of decorations while we went on a month long honeymoon. We do not know how she does it all.
Whatever Alanna's price is, double it, and it still does not begin to compensate her true value of service. It is weird to be so ecstatic about a day-of but if you go with Simply Sweet you will know exactly how we feel! -

Amazing and so much more!
This is such a hard review to write because I am not sure quite how to relay how amazing Alanna is in words. We went in search of a wedding coordinator simply to be our hands the day of, what we lucked into was SO much more! My sister and I both have experience working in the wedding industry, so I figured I had this planning thing down. Fast forward a few months and I am overwhelmed with decision making and schedules and a million thoughts in my head. Enter Alanna. Really, I should have called her sooner than I did. From our very first meeting, every time I spoke with Alanna she immediately put me at ease. Every time couldn’t keep my head straight Alanna would talk through all of my thoughts and give me guidance and direction or just tell me I really did have it all together and could let go a little. She asked questions about details I had forgotten or hadn’t even thought of. She told us honestly when she didn’t agree with ideas (like trying to call an Uber after the wedding or not have a bar during dinner). She recommended and booked vendors for us, negotiated extras with the vendors we had already booked, and those final days when I just couldn’t make another decision and needed ANYONE else to decide what shade of pink to use for the up-lighting, she saw my panic and made the decisions for me.
Our wedding day certainly didn’t not go off without a hitch, but every hitch that arose was immediately caught and resolved without any effort from me or my husband. At one point of panic where we thought we had an additional guest, we went to tell Alanna of the sudden change. She had already spoken to the caterers, rearranged the chairs, and had an extra table setting in place. She created and provided our seating chart, easels, reserved signs, and probably a dozen other little items that we didn’t have to go out and purchase just for one day. Through the entire day Alanna was always on the move and taking care of something, but every time I turned to look for her, she was right there where needed. We actually received several compliments from friends and guests on how great our coordinator was (and I think was asked to join our family multiple times)!
My only regrets are that I didn’t call Alanna sooner, loop her into the planning from the beginning, and had just one wedding for her to plan (but I am pre-booking her for my brother and future sister-in-law). Honestly, Thank you Alanna! We had an amazing wedding day and the majority of that credit goes to you. You exceeded our expectations 1000 times over and we can not express how grateful we are. This industry and any future couple you work with is lucky to have you! -

Smooth and easy!
Alanna and her team were awesome!! Alanna made me feel calm and relaxed about everything prior to my wedding and then once the BIG DAY was here, I knew I had nothing to worry about! Her and her team made everything look beautiful and run smooth!! Then they wrapped up the night by making it look like nothing and no one was ever there!!! We had everything brought to the venue in a trailer and they loaded that thing up so neat and organized which made the unloading so easy!! Alanna was a sweet heart through the whole planning process and her team was sweet and made a point to introduce themselves day of the wedding and check to make sure we didn’t need anything!! I would HIGHLY recommend Alanna and her team!! -

Alanna is amazing
I had no idea I needed her and I'm so happy we had her to plan our wedding. I was overwhelmed and indecisive about so much and she guided us through and made the planning pleasant. She's warm, organized, and such a joy. Everything ran smoothly and I was so happy with the end result. -

Truly incredible
We’ve been meaning to write a review for a while. We got married on 8/18/19, and Alanna helped us so much throughout the process of figuring out our wedding timeline, to setting up, and making it all happen. She is incredibly gifted when it comes to coordinating weddings. We are so thankful we found her! She truly was a tremendous help to us, and absolutely went above and beyond. Thank you again for everything Alanna! -

Couldn't do it without Alanna
Alanna was incredibly crucial to ensuring that our wedding went smoothly. We hired her for the "day-of" planning, but she began helping us out 90 days prior to the date which helped us stay on top of what was the largest priority and even made us realize we missed some small details that we would not have thought of on our own.
Even if you don't think a planner is not necessary, which was our thoughts before hiring her, she might have been the best funds we spent to make sure the day went smooth like a dream. She even took care of picking up some of the equipment and delivering the alcohol to the venue so that we didn't need to worry about it on the weekend of the wedding. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! -

Stress free!
If my husband & I could give Alanna 20 stars we would! She was amazing from beginning to end! From me having to cancel my original plans & replanting my entire wedding in 2 weeks! I truly believe my wedding was stress free & perfect because of her! There was a lot that I didn’t know Or didn’t even think of when it came to wedding planning & she just took everything & handled it like the pro she is! We’re so thankful for her expertise, we couldn’t have done it without her! If I could do it all over again I would & I would hire Alanna again with no hesitation! DO NOT second guess booking her you won’t regret it! -

Worth so much more
I cannot say enough good things about Alanna... She went above and beyond my expectations and was there to take care of anything I needed throughout my wedding day! Seriously, she was amazing. She’s super professional but also super fun! You definitely won’t be disappointed! -

Best Wedding Coordinator Ever!
I don't know what I would have done without Alanna! I'm type A and planned our wedding quickly and with ease, but on the day of, all I wanted was to not worry about the details and have fun. Our meetings before the wedding day helped with planning and brought up details I hadn't thought of or didn't know about. It's so helpful to have someone knowledgeable on your side! Our wedding day was perfect, which means I'm sure Alanna was behind the scenes making sure everything went smoothly. She helped with set-up, managing our vendors, coordinating our ceremony, keeping us on our timeline, answering guest questions and directing guests, preparing everyone for our sparkler exit, and making sure I got some cake to-go. She is detailed, enthusiastic, organized, and proactive. Alanna was an invaluable part of my wedding planning and wedding day, and I highly recommend her! -

The best decision I made for my wedding!!!!
Alanna was amazing!!! The planning process with her was perfect!! She took care of everything and made sure that every detail was there. She was very positive and communicative during the planning and on my wedding day I had nothing to worry about, everything was where it was supposed to be. She was really helpful and she even guide me to some other vendors that didn’t make go over my budget. My husband James said it was amazing having her taking care of everything because you could see she is really good at it and made it stress free for us. I would highly recommend her for your wedding!!!! She is very professional :) -

Alanna is simply AMAZING!
I had a perfect wedding day and I am convinced it would not have happened if Alanna had not been there for my husband and I. She was so nice and welcoming from the first day we met and I immediately knew I would be in good hands with her. I felt like I didn't even stress before or during my wedding because Alanna went far and beyond to make sure I had everything I needed! She is such a hard-worker and you can tell she loves what she does. And for that I will always be thankful. Stop searching and go ahead and reach out to Simply Sweet Weddings, I promise it will be one of the best decisions you could have made! -

Amazing & Exceptional
Alanna was SO wonderful to work with and stepped right in to fill the holes in our planning efforts seamlessly. She completely led the rehearsal, had extra supplies like easels and table numbers and saved us a bunch of money doing so. My guests commended her professionalism and thoroughness and I would highly recommend her to anyone - she made our day just perfect and ensured everything was collected and sent with our parents at the end of the night. What a true gem! -

Extraordinary service. Goes the extra mile!
Wow, where do I start?! Alanna exceeded expectations as my sister's Wedding Coordinator. Throughout the entire process, she was positive, communicative and always offering help without being asked.
Alanna took on many responsibilities that traditional Wedding Coordinators would never. Her husband even built a stage for my sister's backdrop to stand on for her wedding ceremony.
Leading up to the wedding, Alanna had several calls with my sister ( a few of those I got to sit in on). She was always very thorough in her questions and really took time to understand what both the bride and groom wanted. She was in all of the details down to which knife we'd use to cut the cake (which she offered to lend to us for free).
My sister's wedding was untraditional in that it was an American "White" wedding and a traditional Nigerian wedding combined. The timeline had to be carefully put together so there would be enough time to fit everything in. Alanna put the timeline together and created a professional floorplan for us that we could share with other vendors to better plan the decor.
Alanna managed vendor relationships four months prior to the wedding all the way up to the day of. On the day of the wedding, Alanna and her team arrived early to help unload the UHaul truck of loose items that we'd need to setup. Not only did they do that, her and her team also set up a lot of the decor that we purchased individually. To give you an idea, there was a complete UHaul plus two to three cars worth of decor that we personally bought. Alanna and her team took care of all of that even though she didn't have to. They did a great job setting everything up to our expectations, even beyond that.
Alanna made sure to keep time for the whole event, making sure we kept the flow of things going and nothing was missed. When the bride and groom needed anything, she was there to help. At one point, the bride needed Alanna to go get someone from the crowd who would be involved in the traditional wedding. Alanna did just that. She even made sure to pack the bride and groom's dinner to make sure they had a chance to eat when they were changing into their traditional clothing.
The wedding ended at midnight and Alanna and her team stayed until past 2 am in the morning to make sure all decor we brought were packed and helped load things onto the truck and into people's cars. She also made sure to round up the gifts and double check that nobody left anything. Alanna did everything that most Coordinators would never. She did it with a smile on her face, without being asked and without complaining. She was very enthusiastic prior to and on the day of the wedding (even when sometimes we might've asked for too much).
I can't recommend Alanna enough. We'd use her 100x over if we could. If you're looking for a Wedding Coordinator, stop looking at other reviews thinking you'll find someone better because you won't. Trust me, we got more than our money's worth and we are forever grateful.
Alanna, thanks for everything you've done. Can't wait to use you again for whoever's next. -

Better than I imagined
Simply Sweet Weddings was amazing! Alanna Bunce was outstanding! I cannot begin to describe how stress-free she made my daughter's wedding for my daughter and for me, MOB! The planning process with Alanna, the rehearsal and the day of was seamless and I'm over the moon impressed. Alanna stayed focused, calm, professional and took care of my daughter and her now-husband the entire time which is what I wanted. My daughter and her husband felt cared for by Alanna every step of the way. Alanna has the enthusiasm and energy that planning a wedding requires and she goes about the whole process with kindness, professionalism and genuine happiness. By the time we got to the wedding day, all I had to do was get dressed and show up! I was able to enjoy everything and everyone, knowing that Alanna was in charge of making sure all of the vendors took care of each of their parts and that guests were taken care of, and most of all that my daughter and her husband were taken care of the entire time. I highly recommend Simply Sweet Weddings, Alanna Bunce is absolutely golden. Her rates are low as she is a start-up business, she has been in the business just two years now, she is crazy good and lucky me and you to get her now. She is known to all of the vendors I used and her name is quickly becoming known throughout the industry, she is that good. She will be on top of this industry soon with rates she well deserves. -

Best investment I made for my wedding!
Alanna was the best! She faced many obstacles, including rain, a not so great DJ, and my rowdy bunch of friends and family. All with a smile on her face and professionalism!
I would highly recommend her for your wedding. I wouldn't have been able to enjoy myself without her services. My wedding turned out ti be the best day ever!!! -

The PERFECT Wedding Coordinator and Now Lifelong Friend!
Alanna is one of the sweetest, most generous people that I've been lucky enough to meet. How wonderful it is that my getting married and desperately needing the perfect wedding coordinator brought her to me! I truly believe that the only reason I was able to breathe on my wedding day and enjoy all of the beautiful moments of my most special day is Alanna. I don't know what I would have done without her. The cherry on top is that our working together has blossomed into a beautiful friendship. Love you forever! THANK YOU! -

Hiring Alanna was the best decision we made after getting married!
Hiring Alanna was hands down the best decision we made throughout the entire wedding planning experience! I truly feel like we could have not done it without her. Weddings are an emotional experience no matter how you do it, and having Alanna on our side made us feel like we could handle anything! My new hubby and I aren't big planners, so wedding planning felt pretty daunting to us. After our initial meet up with Alanna, she made us feel so comfortable and confident in where we were in the process, showed support and encouragement, and gave us suggestions and advice when needed, but made us feel like we were on the right track no matter what. We found Alanna kind of late in the game because we were working with another coordinator (a friend of a friend from out of town) whose travel arrangements fell through. We weren't even going to use a day-of coordinator, but now I seriously don't think our wedding would have come together in the same way without Alanna! She was a pleasure to work with throughout the planning stages, made herself so available to us, and put us at ease at a time that was so full of emotion, stress and anxiety. On my wedding day, I didn't have to worry about a thing. Alanna was calm, collected and in control no matter what came her way. Even our friends and family complimented how incredible she was! She directed our family and wedding party with where to be and when so they didn't have to stress about anything, helped alleviate a situation with a crazy cousin, and solved any oversight on our part with such grace and ease. Further more, because we met up a few times before the wedding, having her there on the day of our wedding, felt like having a friend there with us. If you are planning a wedding and reading this review, you would be crazy to not hire Alanna! My husband and I think so highly of her that we told her we will be references for her for life, so if you want to chat more about how amazing she is, feel free to reach out to us! We have already recommended her to some friends who are engaged, and will continue to do so! I cannot say enough nice things about how professional, supportive and amazing Alanna is! -

Alanna is amazing!
Alanna was hands down the best wedding coordinator a couple could ask for! She made the wedding process so easy and made our wedding day go so smoothly. She's super attentive, caring, and honestly so down to earth that she made me feel like we had known each other for years. The timeline she created for our wedding day really helped me understand our day so much better. It was also so nice to have someone take over communication with my vendors. You don't really realize how much you have to communicate with your vendors until your 30 days out. I would highly recommend Alanna to anyone. She's so amazing! -

Alanna created the wedding of my dreams!
The best decision I made when wedding planning was to hire Simply Sweet Weddings. I booked the last two months and day-of wedding planning package. From the moment I booked, Alanna was in touch asking me about my vision for the day. I sent her the contracts I had already booked and she reached out to the vendors to confirm arrival times and day-of details. Alanna met with me three months out and we talked for hours about all the details and what I wanted to see on my wedding day. A week out we met at the reception site and she took detailed notes about what I envisioned and three days before the wedding we met one more time to ensure all the stress was off my plate. I never once doubted Alanna and her attention to detail. She took notes throughout the entire process so that each time we met or emailed she remembered exactly what we last discussed. She was always available through phone and email. On the day of the wedding she kept the flow and made my vision come to life more than I could ever imagine. She assisted with my needs during the wedding but also assisted my bridal party and guests' needs. So many of my guests stopped to tell me how amazing she was! I not only consider Alanna a life saver and amazing planner but also a friend. Do not pass her up and book her for you big day! -

Awesome Experience
Alanna was fantastic! We had drama the morning of. The photographer was in the hospital and texted me at 6:30 am that morning. I texted Alanna and she found another photographer to do my 3:00pm wedding for the same money I had contracted for. She made everything flow seamlessly so I could enjoy my day. -

Alanna and her team far exceeded our expectations!
We could not have asked for a better wedding coordinator! From day one, Alanna from Simply Sweet Weddings added a positive and bright energy to the wedding planning details! She asked me questions I hadn't thought to consider, and she was endlessly patient as I took time to make decisions. She never added any pressure to planning decisions, and she made herself available as a soundboard whenever I needed someone's advice.
Then, wedding day arrives. The weather is 60 degrees (unheard of for May in Texas), and a forecast of thunderstorms. Alanna and her team were AMAZING with watching the weather and moving our ceremony outdoors at the last minute when the skies cleared.
ALL of our guests complimented the friendly, cordial service, and impeccable timeline implemented by none other than Alanna. Needless to say, she far exceeded our expectations, and my new husband and I cannot sing her praises enough. If you are in the market for a day-of-coordinator, I highly recommend Alanna from Simply Sweet Weddings. You cannot put a price on not worrying about the small details on your wedding day. Knowing Alanna was there to gather gifts/personal decorations/etc. allowed me and the groom to enjoy our day completely. We made so many great memories, and that's in no small part due to Alanna. -

Amazing planner!!
Alanna did an amazing job. Not only did she make sure everything was in order the day of the wedding but she also met with us a few time before our big day. Those meeting were great and helped me plan & feel more confident about the whole day. I can not thank her enough for all her help & her positive excited attitude through out the whole process. Could not have done it without her. -

Best coordinator!
Alanna and her team are simply amazing. They took care of everything the day of the wedding and made me and my wife feel like rock stars. If either of us wanted a drink, they would literally sprint to get it for us, they never missed a beat. They also helped us so much prior to the wedding to make sure we weren't stressed and had everything taken care of. If you are getting married, Alanna and her crew are the only people you should hire as your day of coordinator, they were AMAZING! -

Our wedding was a dream come true thanks to Alanna
If you are trying to plan a wedding without Alanna, you are really making things too hard for yourself. When I started planning, I didn’t think I needed a wedding planner or day-of coordinator. I thought I could do it all by myself. But as the big day got closer, so many little questions started to pile up, and I realized I needed a little help. That’s when I hired Alanna. This was, hands down, the best and most important decision I made while planning my wedding. From day one, Alanna took care of everything. She met with us multiple times before the wedding, answering all our little questions and creating a day-of timeline that would ensure everything ran smoothly. She got in contact with all our vendors to confirm details and answer their questions, and she even hooked us up with a vendor we thought we would never be able to afford! She conducted our rehearsal dinner, and even brought our suitcases to our hotel for us. Seriously, she does EVERYTHING. On the day of the wedding, Alanna was in full power mode. She picked up coolers and ice, and even offered to deliver breakfast to my bridesmaids and I. She got the entire venue decorated exactly as I had envisioned. She greeted vendors and made sure everyone was in the right place at the right time. She cued the processional, set up all the tables for dinner, cut the cake, handed out tip money, and probably ten million other things that I don’t even know she did. Seriously, weeks after the wedding, I am still learning of little things that ALMOST went wrong at my wedding before Alanna saved the day. I wasn’t even aware of these things. Because I hired Alanna, I was able to float through my wedding day blissfully happy and relaxed. Alanna’s top priority was making sure I was not stressed out. It wasn’t until later that I learned how many little details she had to take care of that day. If you’re like me, and you’re thinking of doing everything by yourself, please stop and think about how many little issues will crop up on your wedding day. Do you want to be the one worrying about all of those? Or do you want to relax and enjoy the most beautiful day of your life while Alanna takes care of everything? Seriously, this woman does not charge enough and you should hire her before she becomes the most sought-after day-of coordinator in the country. She’s that good. My wedding day is now the happiest memory of my life, and I know that’s because Alanna was there to make everything perfect. -

No need to look elsewhere - Hire Alanna!
We had the privilege of working with Alanna for our wedding and she exceeded every expectation we had. Not only was she incredibly receptive to every request we had, but she also went above and beyond to make sure we did not have to worry about anything. She coordinated with all the vendors, put us in contact with some amazing people, and the day felt effortless. Not once was I ever worried or stressed about anything because I knew Alanna had it under control. When I was originally looking for a wedding coordinator I was very worried I wouldn't find someone whom I could put all my trust and confidence in, but upon meeting Alanna I knew she was the right person for the job. With the help of her and her amazing team, our wedding was the best day of our lives. We cannot thank her enough. -

Hire This Woman
I can tell you right now that my wedding was everything and more because of Alanna. She took my vision and RAN with it, going above and beyond and doing more than expected of her. I had several people come up to me throughout my wedding day asking me who she was and if she did parties - one of my aunts from AZ wants her to help us with my grandmother's 80th she'd fallen in love with her!
Truthfully, I think Alanna sells herself short. She's worth so much more than I think she believes she is, and I really cannot thank her enough for everything she did for me. From 7am to 1am wedding day she was there for my family and me. She helped set up, clean up, and dealt with problems before I even knew they were problems! (And lemme tell you, we had problems like when all of my girls bouquets died overnight. We show up to the ceremony and Alanna sprang into action and fixed that real fast!) She was a professional through and through. This woman even met with me on several occasions for a few hours at a time to talk through everything, contacted vendors when I didn't have time, and worked out a timeline for day of. She is EXTREMELY organized and is always available to talk. I never waited to hear from her, never had to check in to see how an assignment was going, and never had to worry. She even came through on some last minute changes and wants (like helping me get a photo booth three days before the wedding).
I can't say enough good things about Alanna. I was so impressed with her and envious, truthfully, of how organized she is. She's such a delight to be around, too. Seriously. I could go on and on about this woman like how she handled a five minute meltdown of mine at the reception because I was tired of being in my shoes (so embarrassing and so stupid in retrospect), how she dealt with a photographer not showing up for me, how she and her assistant made sure I was eating and drinking water the entire day, how they made sure my family was comfortable, how they decorated the ceremony when I didn't even plan on decorating, etc. etc.
You won't be disappointed if you hire her. I swear. I don't regret it for one single second and if I have any other parties, this is my go-to girl. In fact, my husband and I are ready to do vow-renewals just so we can hire her to help us plan that party and we've only been married for four days (hah!).
Sincerely, though, thank you, Alanna, for everything. March 2nd was absolutely perfect and beyond what I'd imagined it could be and let me tell you, it wouldn't have been without you in our corner.-

Best Wedding Coordinator EVER!
Alanna is the best wedding coordinator EVER! She’s so hands on and deeply passionate about what she does! Not to mention a genuinely kind and caring individual. Her attention to detail is impeccable! We don’t know what we would have done without her! Every snag we hit in our planning process, she was right there to assist. On the day of our rehearsal dinner we went over our décor with her, and on our wedding day we let her do her thing. There was nothing out of place. We couldn’t have done it better ourselves! Even when our venue was doing the most, she continued to drive on with grace, poise, and professionalism. 5 stars! -

Amazingly wonderful!!!
Alanna and Scott are an amazing team who have been there for my husband and I since day 1. We needed to change coordinators at the last minute and Alanna was gracious enough to take us on 4 weeks before our wedding day. There are not enough words to convey how extatic we are with their service. -

Friendly, calm, and helpful.
I'd definitely recommend Simply Sweet Weddings to a friend. In fact, I already have. Alanna is new to the business, but she is thorough and friendly. She listens to what you want and makes helpful recommendations. And she does everything with a smile.
We had a few hiccups day of, but Alanna stayed cool through it all—helping fit in surprise guests and herding everyone through our non-traditional exit. She made sure the day was a seamless as possible for us. -

You'll Want Simply Sweet There on the Biggest Day of Your Life
Choosing my husband was the best decision involving my wedding, but choosing to work with Alanna at Simply Sweet Weddings was absolutely the next best decision I made. Thinking we would get a truly "day-of" experience, Alanna surpassed our expectations 1000 times over. She treated me like I was a good friend having a wedding: meeting with us, trekking to our venue when my parents came into town, organizing our rehearsal, and often checking in with me via text and sharing encouraging words with me when times were stressful.
On the day of the wedding, I felt so confident knowing I had someone so organized and invested on my team. Things are bound to not quite go as planned, but Alanna and her team will make you feel prepared and comfortable improvising. When I felt like my bouquet wasn't quite right, Alanna stepped in to go find the extra blooms onsite I'd wanted to add and offered to pin them in. We'd hired two bartenders, one of which did not show up, and her assistant stepped in to help serve drinks all night! My mom told me afterward that she got so nervous seeing Alanna come her way, thinking something had gone wrong, only to have Alanna come ask her how she was doing and if she needed anything--instantly making her calm and feel tended to.
When you meet Alanna you'll get what I'm talking about--she's caring, poised, organized, intelligent, friendly--someone you absolutely want at the helm of the biggest day of your life. I cannot recommend her enough--we've recommended her to all of our closest friends getting married.
I'm honestly wanting to host another big event just to have her there to make it amazing. -

Alanna is a Diamond in the Rough
Alanna made my husband, Malcolm, and I feel so special during the entire planning process and on the day of. This woman does not skip a beat. She is so wonderful that I have recommended her tp every single person I run into that is trying to plan a wedding. Before I hired Alanna, I thought I could take care of all the wedding planning on my own. Obviously, I was wrong. Alanna helped me ensure I didn't forget a single detail, and she was my go-to for everything. She eased my anxiety throughout the whole process, and executed everything perfectly on our wedding day. Alanna, thank you so much for everything! We could not have done it without you! -

Alana is an outstanding coordinator!
We are a caterer in Austin that handles over 400 events per year, I wish all of them had a coordinator like Alana running the show! She is super organized, helps create a stress free environment for the guests and vendors, plus her attention to detail is fabulous! I will certainly recommend her services to our booked and future clients! Hiring a professional and rock star coordinator is a must for a successful event! -

Simply sweet, simply AMAZING.
Alanna was just so amazing and helpful. She helped bring a sense of order to what seemed like the most chaotic event I have ever planned. She helped us prioritize items by proximity and also reminded us of things we would have simply not thought to do. Plus she is so dang sweet and easy to work with, I don't know how we would have pulled off such a dream-like event without her. If you're planning on doing it all yourself, get Alanna on board—she's absolutely worth it! -

Organized and caring coordinator
Alanna was fabulous as a day-of coordinator. She was extremely organized and made my DIY pre-planning a lot easier with advice and help leading up to the wedding. She went above and beyond to make everything beautiful! -

Where do I begin?! Alanna made the whole wedding planning and day of easy as can be. When people asked me a few weeks before the wedding how I was feeling I said I was so excited. Everytime I told people that they gave me a strange look and asked if I was stressed at all. I always replied nope my wedding coordinator is awesome and has been handling a lot of the stressful part. She also helped me decorate my whole event. I brought my decorations of course but basically gave her the freedom to put it together. Walking into the venue decorated was like my dream coming true. Everything was perfect. I also changed the timeline like 2 days before and she had no problem changing it. Every time I met with Alanna she was so excited as if she was planning her own wedding. She just went above and beyond our expectations! Thank you so much Alanna for making our day perfect!

Alanna is the absolute best at what she does. She goes above and beyond for everyone in the wedding, and works tirelessly to make sure the big day is flawless. I can’t say enough about how much stress and anxiety she relieved from me and my entire wedding party. She was the best investment I made for our wedding, hands down. I’m so thankful for her! -

Alanna was such an integral part of my making our wedding fun and stress free! She is knowledgeable, thorough and a true professional through and through. This was especially important considering I was planning my Texas wedding all the way from Japan. Her enthusiasm and sincerity for all things weddings was very evident from the beginning. It felt as if I was planning my wedding with a close friend. Making our day as easy on us as possible was of utmost importance to her.
If you are looking for a coordinator, who is detail oriented, organized and is as passionate as you about your wedding, definitely consider Alanna! -

Talk about amazing!! She was able to to roll with the punches when we switched things up last minute. I highly recommend her!! The extra pair hands that day and her decorating skills were spot on! I can't say enough good things about her. She was such a good person to have especially since it was a destination wedding for us. She had lots of ideas of things that did and did not work for the area. -

Alanna went above and beyond!! She was a pleasure to work with, did a fantastic job, and made my wedding run so much more smoothly than it otherwise would have! She is a saint!!!! If I had it to do over again I would without a doubt work with Alanna again. She truly is amazing. If you don't hire her you've made a huge mistake! She did everything from take my decorations from my house to the venue to getting me a plate of food to setting up the venue. I can't even think of anything else I would have wanted her to do! Phenomenal!!! <3 -

Alanna was wonderful to work with! I knew the month before my wedding was going to be very busy at work, and I needed (wanted) to find someone that could help 1-2 weeks with those last minute details: answering e-mails, finalizing a timeline, in addition to helping the day-of with set-up, etc. Several of the local wedding coordinators I researched were out of my budget. That's when I met Alanna, who was the perfect fit for me! Not only did our personalities match, but so did our professional work ethic, in addition to budgets. Alanna was a consistent communicator (e-mail, phone, text, in-person meetings), and handled all the details. She was there for Matt and I the whole way, our cheerleader! The vendors I've spoken with since after the wedding enjoyed working with Alanna, and she with them. I rated her 5.0/5.0 on service, responsiveness, professionalism, value, and flexibility, and I mean it! Thank you, Alanna! -

Davis Royal Wedding
Pros: Alanna was very professional with working with me and my hubby on our memorable day as well as her team. Very attentive and listen. I had a stressful point within my pre wedding journey where I had no photographer and she came to the rescue with a fall back. Much appreciated and she very humble spirited and positive attitude.
Positive and encouraging area(S) of continual growth that I can suggest to Alanna from my personal wedding experience with her,is learning to keep everyone attention and intune with the event. Assurinh that the energy within the room to not leave because that can have a huge impact on attendees keeping the interest and the importance of the event. Just keeping everyone engaged and apart of.
But Alanna attitude and structure,organization and all around personality was great.
