After I shared the scope and budget, she tapped into her network and quickly lined up great vendor options that fit exactly what we needed. She was also on site during the event and jumped in wherever support was needed, which made a big difference for our team. I'd absolutely work with Alyssa again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a strong partner in event planning!!

Our group was having trouble picking a fun theme and they helped us come up with a fun idea. Thank you guys for all the help xoxo

You've got a 50% chance of things going well by hiring Party Host Helpers…read more Our first experience with Dave was phenomenal! He was on time, worked hard and had a wonderful disposition. So good, we decided to have another party the very next week. They assigned Lukus, who never showed up. Very stressful and also costly because there were things I'd purchased for the party that I couldn't do without help that went to waste. I get it, you're depending on people you've hired to do what they say and show up, so it's hit/miss. The 1 star is because at first, Lauren w/Party Host Helpers, seemed concerned and apologetic, called me to say she is looking for someone to help me that night. Of course, there wasn't anyone at that late notice on a Saturday night. That's the last I've heard from them. Now it's been 3 days. No call, no email, no text and NO REFUND of my deposit. It wouldn't have taken much for them to call or email, extend their apologies again, and refund my money. But, they've moved on and clearly don't care. Now I am stuck holding the bag, investing more of MY time to chase my refund. It's a good idea, but you can't count on it and if they fail, you can't count on them promptly processing a refund. *sigh* Never again.

I got Kelly to do dessert table for my daughter's 1st bday party. And what an awesome job she did…read more She went above & beyond my imagination. She listened to my ideas patiently, discussed my Pinterest favs but I really feel dessert table at my party was even better than what I saw on Pinterest. I gave her my budget, my vision & never ever had to follow up or bother about anything. She's so professional and thorough that you can hire her & forget about it. She kept sending me timely updates & remained in the budget I had set. She truly did an exceptional job. But what truly was the "cherry on top" for me was what she did outside of our contract. I clearly got her for cake & dessert table alone, she didn't have to do her magic at the reception table. She didn't have to help me with my last minutes things. I was extremely touched by her gesture. She is just awesome. P.s. Kids were unsure if cookies n cake were real. Even heard a kid scream "this is the best party ever"

The lego themed decorations and party activities were much more professionally done and more creative than anything I would ever have the time or ingenuity to pull off myself as a mom, even with all the Pinterest inspiration in the world. From the giant oversized legos for the kids to play with to the lego jewelry craft station that kept the boys and girls all entertained. My kids had a blast. I hope they get invited to another Cherry on Top Party!

We met Joyce about 6 weeks before the party and shared our vision with her regarding our desired theme. We really wanted a natural feel to the party using herbs and succulents, burlap and natural fabrics. Other than that we didn't give her much direction, but she proved to us that she didn't need it! We were absolutely blown away with the final product. Never in our wildest dreams did we ever think we could have such beautiful decorations and tablescapes, it was exactly our vision X100! Joyce created an amazing backdrop behind our buffet table out of wood pallets. She printed some of the food images off of our website onto wood and hung them throughout the backdrop. There was a galvanized sign in lights with the word EAT spelled out. It was absolutely beautiful; all of our guests were amazed. She had customs napkins made up with our logo, succulents scattered throughout the various tables, adorable signs identifying our menu items...we could go on and on. Joyce is one in a million; look no further when planning your next party or dinner. Not only is she the best in the business, she is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. If you are having a party, you need Joyce in your life! Kari & Courtney Good Thyme Kitchen

She not only decorated our main dining room table, but also put together the most adorable table for the kids complete with craft paper and wooden boxes of markers to keep the kids occupied while the adults enjoyed a more relaxed dinner of their own. Our table was even more amazing with fresh flowers in an antique wooden tool box surrounded by greens all atop a burlap table runner, linen napkins with sprigs of fresh rosemary, personal bottles of wine and small succulents in glass jars that served as place cards for our guests. And beyond the table setting, Joyce laid out a beautiful wine-themed cheese and fruit platter for our guests to enjoy before dinner. She provided every last thing for the perfect dinner party with the most amazing attention to detail. And then, when we were done, she cleaned up everything and packed it all away, leaving us with two beautiful floral arrangements and nothing to do after dinner but enjoy spending time with our guests!

This review is long overdue! I SIMPLY can't say enough positive things about Alexa and Simply…read moreModern Events. We approached Alexa at the beginning of the year for our late March 2015 wedding. We needed a day of coordinator but what we got was so much more. My fiance (now husband) and I thought we had everything taken care of with the exception of the final details. We had already booked the DJ, hair & makeup, the venue, had our invitations sent out.... what more was there to do??? How little we knew.... Alexa's organization and expertise blew us away. We filled out a number of online surveys so that she could make sure that she had every last detail taken care of. Everything from the rehearsal dinner, to the order that our family members would walk down the aisle, to who we wanted photos with (and who we didn't), toast speeches, what songs we wanted played and when, EVERYTHING was addressed and on the day of our wedding, she made sure that neither one of us had to worry about a thing. She attended so many of our meetings with our venue (even though we had a coordinator at the venue) and had an answer for us every time a minor dilemma or problem surfaced. Alexa also provided a number of helpful suggestions for seating charts, cards, first dance moment, re-use of floral arrangements to save money and so much more. I could tell you about how intuitive she is or how quick she was to respond (which is probably my biggest pet peeve when working with people). Or how on my wedding day, she was invaluable and handled everything with class, ease and a level of professionalism that is rarely seen. I will only ever recommend Alexa of Simply Modern Events to friends, family, colleagues.. anyone I come across who needs a wedding planner! ALEXA, WE LOVE YOU!!!!

In the last 30 days before the wedding, Alexa stepped up to help with the final coordinating, which greatly reduced the stress on my fiancée (now wife) and I. As a result, we were able to have our dream wedding without it putting us through the wringer. Even for minor details- like when I realized that my dress had gotten wrinkled en route to our venue- Alexa had a solution. I don't know what we would've done without her! While (hopefully) I won't be needing her wedding planning services again, I definitely consider a good friend, and terrific person. I definitely recommend her and her staff to anyone thinking of tying the knot in the Valley area!

I had a definite image in mind when designing the wedding and reception we held at our home. We covered our pool with plexiglass that lights up at night and built the 'look' around that.
