Alex was the key to our wedding day being so beautiful and going so smoothly! She has a fantastic design eye and made our event feel so special. Her suggestions were invaluable as we planned our wedding anniversary party after COVID cancellations. She and her team ensured that all of the details were taken care of throughout the day and that we were able to enjoy every moment.
Alex was always ready and willing to help with any detail - and even helped me to negotiate through a custom wedding dress fiasco, going above and beyond expectations of what a wedding planner should do. We are so happy with our decision to use her and would recommend to anyone in search of wedding planning services.
Alex - thank you for being such a joy to work with! Best always ❤️ -

We can't thank Alex enough!
We found Alex/Willow & Ivy Events on Instagram and loved the work that they have done. Their style matched what we were going for for our wedding and after talking to Alex on the phone, we knew we wanted to work with her.
It was such a great experience working with Alex for our Wedding. She has amazing talent for design and really helped bring our vision to life. She was also super responsive, resourceful, organized, flexible, and friendly. We trusted that she'd help make the planning and day of coordination for our wedding smooth and she definitely delivered.
On the day of, Alex made sure help keep everyone on time, was always there whenever we needed help, and constantly checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. She was very organized and remembered every detail we planned for and talked about. She also make the flatlays for our photographer and did an amazing job.
We couldn't be happier that we chose to work with Alex and that she agreed to work with us! She helped make the wedding process and the day of our wedding stress free. We couldn't have done it without her. We definitely recommend working with Willow & Ivy Events and can't thank thank Alex enough! -

Lauren B. Sent on 03/24/2020Best planner EVER
Oh man, where do I even begin! When I first got engaged, I knew I wanted a wedding planner because my life is very chaotic and I knew absolutely nothing about wedding planning. I started my search online and had a couple interviews with planners around Seattle. While every planner I met was very nice, the second I met Alex I knew she was the one. She is so funny, nice, personable and most importantly, extremely professional! Throughout the entire 13 month engagement/planning time, Alex was frequently reaching out to me and ensuring we had all the essential details (some of which I would have never even thought of if I was planning this on my own) ironed out. Not only does she ensure you have all your bases covered, but she truly LISTENS to your opinions and works tirelessly to ensure you get the wedding of your dreams. Even with weird ideas (for example at one point I thought I wanted to bring in chandeliers), Alex would reach out to every vendor she knew and would scour Instagram looking for potential new vendors and create a list of every option available so I could make every dream a reality. I remember throughout the entire wedding process people would continually say “oh you must be so stressed out with wedding planning” and I can honestly say there was not one part of the planning that caused me any stress or anxiety because Alex was always 10 steps ahead of me. It also wasn’t just me who noticed how great she was, but vendors rave about her as well. My photographer (who had never even met Alex) said this in one of the emails…
“She did such a good job putting everything together and I cannot tell you how excited that gets me! Because a good timeline means I can do my best work. I just wanted you to know she is killing it!”
My wedding happened to be right in the middle of the coronavirus chaos. We were extremely lucky because our wedding was right before they essentially shut the city down. Despite such a crazy time, Alex was always my rock. We had guests canceling left and right, the restaurant for rehearsal closed permanently 2 days before and new laws surrounding events were being rolled out almost daily. But Alex was there to handle every new twist and turn with ease and I can honestly say I had the wedding I have always dreamed about. Now, as other friends get engaged, I always tell them that the best wedding money you will spend is on a wedding planner because she made the entire process fun and easy, which is how it should be! Alex was truly my saving grace and if you have any party/wedding, she is truly the best of the best!

Courtney P. Sent on 08/08/2019Would have been 100x more stressed without Alex
We worked with Alex for 9 months to plan our wedding on July 27, 2019. As a couple planning a wedding across the country, from the East Coast to Seattle, we interviewed quite a few wedding planners we felt like we could fully trust. Upon first speaking with Alex, she gave us a reliable yet approachable vibe with great rates so we decided to work with Willow and Ivy Events.
Planning a wedding, especially from afar, is not an easy task but Alex made it really seamless for us. She was super detail oriented and really focused hard on what we wanted while staying within our overall budget. She seemed to have a lot of connections with great vendors in the industry. We loved all our vendors Alex recommended! When I had difficulty finding a makeup artist and had extremely specific requirements, she did not make me feel like a bridezilla and tried her best to accommodate my needs. We would have been 100x more stressed out without Alex helping us plan. We were stress-free during most of our planning process!
She was flexible with last minute changes – from bridesmaid leaving to adding last minute speeches. We didn’t even have to worry about our table settings since Alex tied all the ribbons on the utensils for us.
The wedding day was perfect, and our parents who are extremely picky praised the wedding and said that everything was perfect, without even one minor flaw. We were able to enjoy the wedding without worrying about schedules and details because Alex and her assistant were there to lead the whole day. We felt like we were attending some amazing party and had a great day 😊 Thank you Alex and Willow and Ivy Events!! -

If you want a stress-free and elegant wedding, hire Alex!
Alex is the best! She made wedding planning stress-free and floored us with how elegant and organized everything was day of. She's fantastic at presenting enough options and the pros and cons of each that you feel informed, without overwhelming you AND is insanely responsive! Cannot recommend her enough! -

Ashley C. Sent on 10/23/2018Willow and Ivy Events Planned Our DC Wedding!
Willow and Ivy Events is incredibly organized and made our wedding go as smoothly as possible. Not only is Alex a great planner, but she has become one of our good friends throughout the process. We truly would not have been able to have had as wonderful of a wedding without Alex and her team at Willow and Ivy Events! One of the biggest decisions in the wedding planning process, especially in Washington DC, is choosing the right planner. I can say 1000% that we did do that and our family and friends are still raving about our wedding nearly three weeks later! Thank you, Willow and Ivy Events for the time of our lives! -

Niko P. Sent on 11/12/2018Alex knows her stuff! And she’s fun too :)
Selecting a planner when you’re already opinionated and have multiple Pinterest boards running, can be overwhelming and stressful :) Letting go of control was easy with Alex, as she demonstrates a confidence and competency that is both settling and inspiring. Out of the gate, Alex worked diligently to level set our expectations with hers, ensuring we worked together for the same goal. While this may seem insignificant, the duration of our time together proved otherwise, with the whole process being more in sync: from communication frequency and style, to timeline, budget, and contingency plans.
As I’m sure is the case for most couples, we wanted to a planner who would feel comfortable “managing” many personalities and not get trampled over during the chaos of the big day. Alex stood strong, commanding attention and respect, making sure our needs/wishes were respected and heard. With that said, Alex is willing to lend a different opinion if she thinks it will benefit the couple. Our wedding was not her first Rodeo, and it shows. She anticipates with skilled precision. Did I mention she’s cute as a button? We loved working with Alex, and know you will too! Great value for quality expertise! -
Kevin Sent on 07/10/2018I can confidently say that our wedding would not have gone very smooth at all if it wasn't for Alex. She is incredibly responsive and was able to answer any question we had, and was absolutely vital to our big day's success. She worked really well with all our vendors, and all of our vendors loved working with her as well. She checked in with us all the time to see how planning was going and making sure we weren't missing any details, big or small (and lots of things that we wouldn't have even thought of!). She was willing to have the tough conversations when things got a bit sticky with our venue a couple months before the wedding and smoothed everything over. We cannot give nearly enough praise and thanks to Alex for being there for us during our planning all the way through the big day. I would recommend her to absolutely anyone without hesitation.

Chelsea was the MVP of our July 2023 wedding day. We hired her for month of coordination and she literally RAN around all day ensuring every detail was taken care of. We were so relaxed thanks to Chelsea's attention to detail and care. Thank you Chelsea!!
