Allison with SoireeBliss is amazing, and I would HIGHLY recommend her for any occasion! Even though I was careful with the budget, I knew I wanted to hire a wedding planner to help with the day-of because I wanted to enjoy the day and ensure my mom could enjoy it, too. With so much money being spent on an event, it just made sense to have someone there to keep things on track so I could focus on my new husband, family and friends (and now that the event is over, both my fiancé and I think hiring Allison was the best decision we made... other than to get married to each other!). From the very first meeting, my fiancé and I remarked, "wow, we have hired the right person," and after our wedding, we were proven 100% correct. We had several people ask who our wedding coordinator was because she was working so diligently throughout the wedding day to keep things flowing (even my brother, who's a well-known penny pincher, remarked that the wedding planner was well worth whatever I paid). Allison is professional, organized, on-the-ball and upbeat. She helped tremendously from the very first day by bouncing ideas and helping us to find reliable vendors that would work within my budget. I wasn't the type of bride that really knew what I wanted at all (and my hubby and I can have zany ideas), so it was fantastic to work with someone who was open to different ideas, but also helped us think through what would work best. She was a partner that breathed life into our vision and worked her tail off to make it happen the day of (she deserves the award for going beyond the call of duty... even after the wedding!). I didn't worry about a thing on the day of the wedding... I knew that Allison had it under control. I think my biggest regret of the whole wedding day was forgetting to ask Allison to take a picture with my hubby and me. Allison, thank you so much for the most beautiful day of our lives... and helping two perfectionists relax because we knew you were by our sides. read more
