Wonderful team!
If you're looking for a day-of coordinator or a full-service wedding planner, look no further than Velvet Alley Events! Soltana and her team are truly the best.
From the very beginning, they made every step of our wedding journey feel easy and enjoyable, and every detail came together beautifully. One of the greatest gifts they gave us was peace of mind, I never felt stressed or worried about how everything would come together because I completely trusted Soltana and her team to handle it. Knowing they were behind the scenes allowed us to be fully present and enjoy every moment of our special day.
What made the experience even more meaningful was Soltana's genuine excitement for our wedding. She embraced our ideas, helped guide us through important decisions, and made sure every detail reflected who we are as a couple. She truly cared about bringing our vision to life, and that made us feel incredibly special throughout the entire process.
I can't say enough wonderful things about Soltana and the entire team. Their professionalism, organization, creativity, and kindness made our wedding day everything we hoped it would be and more.

Ashley Sent on 11/17/2025So glad to have worked with Velvet Alley Events!
We couldn't recommend the Velvet Alley Events team enough! Soltana was extremely helpful throughout the whole process and provided such detailed information and advice. Our initial meeting brought up so many details we hadn't thought of before. We were also blown away by the amount of support Soltana and the rest of her team provided the day-of the wedding. They were all hands on deck - they answered everyone's questions, showed everyone where to go, and were able to stick to a strict timeline. Our guests kept complimenting us on how smoothly everything ran and how helpful all of the staff were. We couldn't be more grateful to have worked with them! -

Soltana and her team are a planning powerhouse! Soltana is incredibly knowledgeable and experienced in planning weddings and we would have been lost without her guidance. She ensured our wedding day was flawless and took any worries off our plates, helping us feel more comfortable, and she had all of our vendors on the same page, even with some last minute changes we made. Her friendly and attentive nature put us at ease and we are so grateful for the guidance she provided us leading up to the wedding and on our big day. She and the Velvet Alley team were available to troubleshoot at a moment’s notice on our wedding day and made sure everything was taken care of. There are so many things we simply wouldn’t have thought of, and Soltana helped us plan for it all to make our wedding really feel like us. Highly recommend! -

You NEED them on your wedding day!!!
We were so lucky to have had Velvet Alley Events during the process of planning our wedding and on our wedding day. I do not know what I would have done without the help of Soltana and her team. Our day was complete perfection because of them!!! Planning a wedding can be stressful and overwhelming and it is easy to overlook small details. Soltana was perfection on making sure this did not happen. She is so organized and amazing at what she does and such a professional. Would 100% recommend them and if I had to do it over again I would hire them in a heart beat!!! Thank you so much Velver Alley Events for making our wedding day a breeze. -

My husband and I were required to book a wedding day coordinator as per the policy at our venue. They had recommended we book with Velvet Alley Events to help the day go smoothly. What we received was beyond what we imagined! Soltana and her team had thought of and took care of all the little details we would have never thought of on our own. Not only where they extremely professional with us, but also had excellent communication with our vendors. When the wedding day arrived, we felt truly taken care of. Even though our other vendors were late, Velvet Alley managed to keep everything regulated perfectly. They even found my husband a time to be alone together and to just sit and relax for a moment while they brought us our cocktail appetizers and drinks privately to enjoy. Soltana helped me put on my shoes as we were in a rush to enter the reception! They also took care of our bridal party and were supporting them right before their speeches! They were truly the best, I could not recommend Soltana and her team more! God bless your exceptional services! -

Catherine Sent on 10/02/2022Organized & Helpful!
Our wedding day at Eden Gardens was absolutely perfect thanks to Soltana and her team of assistant coordinators! From the beginning, Soltana was very organized and thorough as she asked us questions about our wedding details. She provided a questionnaire and list of decorative items that made planning simple and easy. She offered helpful suggestions and kept tight communication with us in the days leading up to our Day Of. I had been a little worried that certain items would not be set up as requested or forgotten, but Soltana had every little detail remembered and executed perfectly. We were also very impressed that she knew the names of everyone in our bridal party and even our parents. Our wedding day came and went way too quickly, but Velvet Alley Events kept us on schedule the entire time. My husband and I got a chance to speak with and create memories with all of our guests, thanks to the Velvet Alley Events team! We are so grateful that no special moments were missed. Our day was truly the most magical, beautiful day EVER and we owe a huge part of that to Velvet Alley Events! -

The BEST team!
Soltana and her team were AMAZING! We initially were supposed to get married in 2021, but due to Covid we decided to postpone our wedding an extra year. Soltana stood by our side through the whole process and was able to help us reschedule with both our venue and our vendors. I thought that this process was going to completely stress us out, but Soltana made it stress free and easy. There is no way I would of been able to plan my wedding without Soltana and her team. I always had heard of brides complain about wedding planning and how stressful and exhausting it is, but I honestly felt no stress the whole process and I 100% think the only reason for that is because I was so confident in Soltana and knew that everything would work out and be PERFECT.
Our wedding day was everything we dreamed of. It went flawlessly and looking back, both my husband and I have ZERO complaints. It was truly the best day of our lives.
Thank you Soltana and team for being so awesome, if I ever have a friend or a family member that needs a planning team- Velvet Alley will be what I recommend always without a doubt.

Soltana and her team were phenomenal! They made our entire day stress free and so smooth. Soltana took care of all the vendor coordination in the 30 days leading up to our wedding, made our day-of schedule and took care of all of the setup and day-of tasks. She allowed me to enjoy my day with my girls getting ready and I didn't have to worry about anything. She also guided us through the entire evening at a perfect pace! Highly recommend! -

Julia Sent on 08/24/2021Had the best day ever!
Our wedding day was amazing and I'm sure that's because of Velvet Alley Events! We worked with Soltana throughout the 2 years of our postponed wedding and then worked with Cindy the day of our wedding and both of them were truly the most helpful, organized, and kind coordinators ever. They truly care about you and your day and go above and beyond to make sure that even if there are issues, that you never hear about it! They just take care of it! Seriously, our day wouldn't have been what it was without Velvet Alley Events. -

It was a pleasure
Velvet alley was great to work with. Whenever I had questions Soltana was very responsive and always had an answer or solution to my questions. Her team was great the day of the wedding. They were on top of things and made a great flow to the wedding. I'm so glad they made it as smooth for us. Thank you Soltana! -

Amanda Sent on 10/03/2019Highly organized, detailed, and a dream to work with!
Soltana was absolutely incredible! She knows exactly what's up. She was extremely responsive throughout the entire year preceding the wedding and handled everything the weekend of our wedding perfectly. EXTREMELY on top of her stuff. As the groom I was able to watch my bride sit back after a year of planning and let Soltana and her team handle absolutely everything. Even our officiant said she is the best wedding coordinator he's ever worked with! -

Beyond my expectations!
Our wedding was last Sunday and wow, I'm still blown away. Every guest I've talked to, and my parents and friends have talked to said it was the best wedding we've ever been to. The venue is just drop dead gorgeous and I think the wedding looked three times as expensive as it was. We had so much fun! The food was amazing! And the catering team was great.
We were able to come visit the venue anytime, and unlike other venues, Kay who gave us tours wasn't pushy at all for us to book the venue. She even showed up on our wedding day just to watch our first dance, and checked with us of course. We really grew to love the whole staff!
On the big day I was able to relax and enjoy it thanks to being able to trust Soltana who was our day or coordinator. She really went above and beyond to the point that I could fully trust her to run the show, and I'm crazy perfectionist ocd. She was really easy to contact via phone and email anytime and she always got back to my many many emails promptly!
We couldn't be happier with our wedding! And we're so excited our lives together started out on the perfect note! -

Melanie Sent on 08/10/2019Soltana is the BEST!
Our wedding was August 9, 2019. We booked Velvet Alley for month-of coordination services. Soltana was always very prompt to respond to emails and phone calls. She was professional and cheerful and her office space is so cute! Wedding planning gets overwhelming but Soltana will make sure you understand what to do, when to do it and how to do it. The day of our wedding she was on point and so helpful. I can’t thank her enough. She was so thoughtful even asking me if I needed anything to drink, bringing me wine, making sure my family and I got to eat some appetizers, making sure my husband and I ate some dinner. And helping to fix my dress when my clasp broke off thanks to my new husband lol! She was a joy to work with and I was at ease knowing she was taking care of everything that day. -

Soltana is amazing. She is everything you want in a day of coordinator. She was very helpful from our first meeting day to our wedding day. Her organization is incredible and the big day went so smoothly! Her team did such an awesome job. -

I honestly have no words how amazing Soltana was from the moment I met her! She is amazing! Soltana and her team made the day go so smooth and dealt with any issues that arose quickly and professionally. She was able to make the entire venue look beautiful and turned my visions into reality! She was also
always available when I needed her. I recommend her for your wedding day as it made it so I could enjoy the day rather than be concerned about the details or anything that comes up. She worked with the venue flawlessly and I could not be more grateful for her on the best day of our lives! -

David Sent on 01/30/2019AMAZING Wedding Coordinator!
Soltana was AMAZING when it came down to the planning process, and she guided us through the entire system step-by-step, to make sure that everything was thought of. And there were a LOT of things that my wife and I did not think about (It was our first wedding), and Soltana made sure that everything was accounted for. I would definitely recommend paying a little extra to hire her as your day-of coordinator. She even helped us set up a scavenger hunt!
And the day of the wedding the entire staff was wonderful. They guided us through every part of the wedding, and made sure that my wife and I could focus on enjoying our time, while they made sure that everything ran smoothly. Thank you so much for helping to make our wedding day MAGICAL :)

Day-of/Month-of coordinators are something that I heard a lot about but didn't really know anything about when looking into them, and let me tell you - MONEY WELL SPENT. Oh my gosh, seriously, my wedding would have been a WRECK without Soltana and her team at Velvet Alley Events! Not only was Soltana really great to work with beforehand (she answered my questions quickly and thoroughly, gave me lots of helpful information), but day of was a lifesaver. It rained on my wedding day (when the forecast said it would be done hours before the ceremony, and it wasn't), and they were great at moving the ceremony, making everything for the ceremony and reception absolutely gorgeous, and letting me enjoy the day without worrying about anything. Save yourself the worrying and stressing over executing everything day of, and hire Soltana to take care of it for you. I wish I could have another event just so I could work with her again! -

Andrew Sent on 10/25/2018Stellar Wedding Coordinator!
Velvet Alley Events, specifically Soltana Mulhearn, helped to make our special day absolutely memorable at Eden Gardens!
From the get-go, Soltana ensured that we were taken care of. From the first client intake meeting, where Soltana had us fill out an exhaustive questionnaire and answered any of the niggling questions that filled our heads, to the many, many, many follow-up questions that we sent via email, text, or phone call, she made sure that we understood, and felt comfortable with, everything that would be needed to make our wedding absolutely perfect.
My bride is a bit of a Bridezilla, and I'm a bit of a Groomzilla, so I understand that, as a pair, we were a LOT to handle! From our custom-made centerpieces to our custom photos mounted on easels in specific locations around the venue, it was essential for us to understand natural restrictions of both the venue, and the staff for each vendor. Soltana was intimately familiar with all of these and let us know what was, and was not, possible, and worked with us, and the vendors, to ensure that everything went smoothly and competently. For many weeks before the wedding, she set forth a specific schedule of what each vendor would likely be doing every hour of the day, and walked us through the process as many times as we needed to fully understand how the complicated orchestration of parts would be fulfilled.
The day of our wedding, we were absolutely blessed enough to have Soltana be our day-of coordinator as well (Velvet Alley has several day-of coordinators), and she ensured that everything, from our custom-made centerpieces, to our custom-made escort cards, to our custom-made photographs, to our custom-made program displays, and our custom-ordered sand ceremony paraphernalia, was all placed correctly at the right times, and even made many decisions that we didn't even think of to ensure that it all went according to plan! She even thought of some great ideas to improve the pacing of our reception the day of, and ensured we were both OK with her new idea before implementing it with our vendors. All of our guests really enjoyed the attention to detail Velvet Alley's staff paid to our wedding and how they politely kept everyone on schedule.
Throughout the day and night, she stayed with all of us, nudging our bridal party along, gathering members appropriately when necessary, and even found and returned lost keys that had been misplaced! She continuously checked in with us to ensure we were happy with how the night progressed, and made sure we ate not only our dinner, but a little bit of each of our desserts, ice cream, cake, and custom drinks. I couldn't recommend Velvet Alley highly enough! -
Selena Sent on 09/19/2018We were really grateful and thankful for Soltana and her team! They provided expertise guidance during every visit and helped make suggestions on everything--even the small details that we did not think of. They also helped set up a lot of decor and items to perfection and went above and beyond in every way. I loved the way they rearranged the ceremony decorations for our reception area and sweetheart table. All of our guests were really impressed with the wedding planner and her team. As a couple getting married, there is a lot to plan for and Soltana responded quickly to any question that we had. She definitely relieved any stress during the planning period and day of.

Meghan Sent on 09/07/2018Never in my life did I ever think I would need a coordinator for my wedding, that was until I met Soltana and her amazing team.
Without them I don’t think my husband and I would been able to stay sane and feel so at ease not only the day of but during the planning process. We feel forever blessed to have such an amazing company such as velvet alley to help us with our wedding! If I could do it again I wouldn’t hesitate! -

Stephanie Sent on 10/06/2017Working with Soltana and her team was absolutely amazing. From the very beginning, she was professional, knowledgeable, and genuine in her interest of what I was looking for. She offered great suggestions when I was unsure about something and was able to answer questions about other vendors when I was trying to choose who to work with. On the day of the wedding, she and her assistant Lindy were there every step of the way. I ended up paying a bit extra to keep them both until the end of the night and I am SO happy that I did - definitely one of the best decisions that I made. Soltana and Lindy were very helpful in gathering up all the gifts, cards, decor, and coordinating with the vendors returning at the end of the night to pick up their pieces. I truly had a wonderful wedding day and could not have done it without Soltana and Velvet Alley Events!

Melody Sent on 07/12/2016Sultana, Candice, and the team at Velvet Alley Events are the best. I originally had booked another wedding venue that was very DIY, and had hired a wedding coordinator (that I adored); however, after learning that my original venue was for sale, I found our new wedding venue, Eden Gardens. Eden's package included a day-of-coordinator, and after much thought, and hesitation I canceled my contract with my original coordinator (as it wasn't needed at Eden-they do everything!). It was a hard decision. Needless to say, Soltana and the team were fantastic! At my final meeting with them, they put all my fears to rest. I basically just told them, do whatever you feel is best... a couple of weeks before my wedding, so was just so ready for it to be over! I gave them my list of items, wants, and desires, and told them it was in their hands. I had my moment of "I am letting go". At this point, I had also not decided on my wedding menu, and they geared me towards delicious menu selections that our wedding guests can't stop talking about. They ran our rehearsal seamlessly, and the wedding day was perfect! Everything turned out even better than I ever could have imagined in my wildest dreams.
The wedding package with Eden, included the day-of planner staying up until the reception. I was tight on money, and really did not want to pay more for someone to stay and help through the wedding reception, and clean up. Surely, all my friends and family would help, right? Lol, well, if you are planning on people helping, don't... after a long-day, booze, and a long drive home, people scatter at the end of the night. Having them stay throughout the reception was one of the best decisions I made, and money very well spent! Who wants to box up candles and DIY decor after a magical night, while wearing a ball-gown? Not me! Anyways, thank you Velvet Alley for a magical wedding.
