I heard about Events by Alyss from one of my girlfriends who got married in Oct 2009 and when I got engaged in Feb 2010, my girlfriend HIGHLY recommended her, to which I will forever be grateful to her for Alyssia. I remember when I first was inquiring about her, my now husband :), was like, "There is no need for a wedding planner, you will just be paying her to do something that you can learn as you go along". Well at the end of it all, here we are just days after getting married and my husband said, "ALYSSIA WAS ONE OF THE BEST INVESTMENTS, BEST DECISIONS WE MADE THROUGHOUT THE PLANNING OF THIS WEDDING". I always knew that but for HIM to admit it really meant that it was REALLY true (I mean how many times does a man admit they are wrong hahaha). If you want to live to see your wedding and walk down the aisle STRESS-FREE, then you need to invest in Events by Alyssand get Alyssia ON YOUR PLANNING TEAM! I live in Jacksonville, FL and our wedding was in Princeton, NJ. Although my husband ended up picking the place, before he found that it was she that picked out a couple of places for us, went to go see them for us, took pics, kept us informed...we were always in the loop and we were always in communication. She does absolutely EVERYTHING. Where Alyssia works her true true magic is with her creativity. I wanted the wedding of my dreams but of course in order to make that happen one must have "the money of your dreams" lol; at one point I wasn't sure we could do it but she pulled through for us! She WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING in helping us out have a rich looking, classy and more importantly affordable wedding. She made the planning PAINLESS. People would ask me, "how is wedding planning going?" and I would shrug my shoulders and say "I guess fine". (Before I invested in Alyssia, I tried planning our wedding FOR ONE MONTH ONLY and I was stressed to all high heavens, after Alyssia came into my life, I was walking on cloud nine). I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Events by Alyss. She knows what to do, more importantly SHE LOVES what she does and she takes care of you and your husbands needs from Day 1. She put together my "Welcome bags", she was the one that helped set up the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception, she worked with the DJ, came up with ideas for the center pieces, girls flowers, etc, I MEAN SHE DID IT ALL. Remember the movie, "Wedding Planner" with Jennifer Lopez?" Well Alyssia was my JLo (with the exception that she didn't take my husband at the end of my show! hahaha) She was ON TOP OF EVERYTHING, EVERY MINUTE OF EVERY DAY building up to the wedding and ON TOP OF EVERY SECOND of our wedding day! You want to enjoy your engagement days and have the absolute best wedding ever...then go on an invest in Events by Alyss. TRUST me you WILL NOT REGRET it one bit! I just asked my husband, "if you could say one thing about Alyssia what would it be?"...his answer, "PERFECT". You can't beat that! Happy Weddings!

Emerald was an absolute pleasure to work with. After our initial call, we knew immediately that we…read morewanted her to officiate our wedding. She crafted a beautifully personalized ceremony which captured our story and engaged our guests.  Emerald is a consummate professional: extremely communicative, with great attention to detail and real heart for what she does. She delivered a flawless ceremony, while bringing warmth and a reassuring confidence that permeated the space. When we first explored using an officiant service, my biggest worry was that it would feel impersonal or forced. Instead, what Emerald delivered was an authentic reflection of our relationship and the dynamic we share. Many of our guests raved about how exceptionally meaningful the ceremony was, and were surprised to learn that we weren't close friends with Emerald. She captured us so well. We are incredibly grateful for the way Emerald elevated our wedding and wholeheartedly recommend her services.

Emerald was super communicative and punctual. Not only that, but she went out of her way to make sure that our special day was perfect and that we were ready. She accommodated us and walked us through everything that would be expected on our wedding day. Her standards as an officiant and her speech at our ceremony were a total home run! She took the information we provided and created a beautiful moment that we will remember for the rest of our lives. I highly recommend trying out Emerald - she's fantastic, hands down!

I had a small celebration about ten people but still loved it. I love how they put me in a separate room so my wife couldn't see me until I came down the aisle. The music I was going to walk down the aisle to played loudly through out the room. Also the music we chose to walk away from the alter as well. I was so busy and when I had my candles to light as a Union I had no candle holders but she had them for me which I so appreciated. The parking is a problem because you may have to park a little far and some people have trouble finding this location but thats the only issues I've experienced. A huge plus is the owner has three different photographers you can book at a discount for having a wedding here which we also did. I'm happy that I got married at a nice place with out breaking the bank.

We decided to schedule an introductory phone call with Iryna after noticing a few simple qualities about her work: 1) First and foremost, her wedding photography is beautiful, tasteful, and polished-yet still whimsical and fun 2) We could tell from looking at Iryna's past work that she uses composition, color, lighting, shadow-and even movement-to create one-of-a-kind photographs of precious memories 3) It was clear after looking at several different wedding photographers that Iryna's work showcases an artistic eye and artistic vision that others just don't have After a brief Facetime call, we were convinced that Iryna was the right choice to shoot both of our weddings. She's funny, kind, easy to talk to, and was extremely willing to work with us. She's also clearly a professional-this isn't just a hobby for her, and our wedding wasn't going to be "just another wedding" for her to shoot. On the day(s) of, Iryna was wonderful. She has an infectious personality and a great sense of humor. We were immediately comfortable working with her, and it wasn't long before she was just like another member of our family. She is excellent at providing direction, setting up shots, and getting the perfect angle, lighting, and background. She even took individual pictures-both candid and semi-staged-of our family dogs! Working with Iryna was a pleasure, and I can say without a doubt that both of our wedding ceremonies were better for her inclusion. Truly, I can't imagine how different they would have been if we had decided to book somebody else. Last but certainly not least: her photos! She took exceptional photos, and we're so grateful to her for all of her hard work. The turnaround on her finished work was surprisingly fast given how beautifully everything turned out. One photo in particular was so artfully taken that it was featured on a wedding magazine's Instagram page! Everybody's circumstances and preferences are different, but you should absolutely hire Iryna if you want a wedding photographer who will: · Capture truly special moments, · Make you laugh while she does it, · Learn your family members' names-and even your pets' names, · Somehow make your wedding day happier, more special, and more memorable without ever being the center of attention, · Produce finished work that is leaps and bounds more captivating than what you'll get with "cookie-cutter" wedding photographers, and · Edit and deliver your photos with an impressively quick turnaround.
