If Randy from Say Yes to the dress, Carlos from Cake Boss, Jane from 27 Dresses, Mary from The Wedding Planner and Jeremy & John from The Wedding Crashers had a baby....it'd be me! Hi, I'm Alexis your wedding planner bestie with plenty of knowledge and a little sass. I was raised by the best in the business as you read and always looking for fun intuitive ways to support and cherish my clients.

The team at Be My Guest Weddings were the absolute best that my wife and I could have asked for. Leading up to the big day, the check-ins were nice to have as it helped assuage our worries. They took on things that were stressing us out, with our input and such, and delivered in ways that we hadn't even thought about. On the big day itself, there were fires that we didn't even know had popped up that were taken care of so that we could focus on living in the moment. We decided on the team because of the genuinity we felt in the consultation. We're people persons at our core, and it was important for us to find a team that reflected the types of purposeful connections, and not just being another couple on the schedule. We're lucky to have stumbled on this team.

I can’t say enough about the incredible experience I had working with Brenna and Molly from Wild Rose Planning Events. Brenna was my primary planner, and we opted for their full-service package, which was hands down the best investment we made for our wedding. From day one, Brenna was on top of everything – even with the small but essential details like parts of our invites, menus, and custom signage. She truly went above and beyond, bringing a personal touch and creative flair that made our wedding so special. Brenna and Molly brought so much creativity to the planning process. They even used their Cricut to add those perfect handcrafted details that made everything feel unique to us. I had a few items I wanted from Pinterest, and Brenna took care of all the ordering, handling all the specifics with the vendors. Every time I reached out, she was quick to respond, making me feel reassured and at ease throughout what could have been a stressful process. Something especially unique about Brenna is that she went above and beyond, working closely with a travel advisor to plan my entire three-week honeymoon abroad. She handled every detail, from flights and accommodations to curated experiences that made our honeymoon an unforgettable extension of our wedding celebration. Her dedication to planning every part of this experience truly blew me away, and I felt completely cared for even after the wedding day was over. Planning an out-of-town wedding could have been a logistical nightmare, but Brenna and Molly made it seamless. Their network of vendors is outstanding, and I felt so comfortable knowing they had connections with everyone from florists to photographers. On the big day, every vendor seemed genuinely excited to work with them, creating a lively, positive atmosphere that elevated our celebration even more. We got married at Top of the Rock at Big Cedar Lodge, a dream venue. Thanks to Wild Rose, I was able to have a hands-off experience for what is normally a hands-on process. Running my own small business, I know how important it is to have reliable partners, and Wild Rose Planning Events delivered every step of the way. They made it possible for me to relax and truly enjoy our wedding day, knowing every detail was flawlessly handled. Wild Rose Planning Events came highly recommended by a friend, and now I see why. Brenna and Molly have such a great reputation, and it’s well-deserved. They went above and beyond, making my dream wedding come to life, and I feel like I gained two friends in the process. If you’re looking for a team that is dedicated, creative, and genuinely invested in making your day special, I wholeheartedly recommend Wild Rose Planning Events. They made our wedding and honeymoon dreams come true, and I am forever grateful!

Awarded Best of Zola
Where do I begin?! Whatever is Lovely is by far THE BEST decision I made during the entire wedding planning process. I picked partial planning but they truly went above and beyond - it almost felt like I got the full planning services with the amount of love and dedication they bring to the table. Rach and her team were always so quick to respond whenever I had questions - which usually happened at like midnight when I couldn’t sleep. My entire planning process and wedding day was done thoroughly, thoughtfully and intentionally. They brought my visions and inspo pics to life. I feel like our entire wedding exceeded my pinterest board inspirations. I had many family members and guests approach me talking about how impressed they were with my wedding planner and vendor team. We last minute had to change to a weather / rain back up plan - Rach and her team kept me calm and helped create the best plan possible. The rain plan ended up being even better than the original plans. I have so much love for Whatever is Lovely and I wish I could get married every weekend if it meant I got to work with them again. They coordinated the smallest of details that I would have never thought of myself. Rach and her team also care about building lasting and genuine connections with their couples. They started as a wedding planner but I truly can call them my friends!! Book this team - you will not regret it!

We hired Sofi as our wedding manager and we were extremely happy with that decision. We knew we didn't need a full-on planner but from the advice of others, wanted someone to pass off month-of vendor engagement, timeline creation, and day-of logistics to.

I went with Prestige Planning for my wedding planner because of the ease of use. I met with my certified wedding planner before I booked and she was amazing and explained the whole process. I knew I could plan my own wedding but I’m not a pro at all so I knew I would need a lot of help. I didn’t want to spend the money on a full wedding planner so going this route was absolutely perfect. They were with me every step of the way. I especially liked the SOS calls they give because I needed them to assist with a vendor I was having an issue with. I knew I was going to need help with logistics and stuff on the actual day of my wedding because I wouldn’t have time to do so, so I added the coordination add on to my package. So I got my wedding planned with major help from an actual certified planner and coordination for my wedding day for less than others are charging for just coordination. Just go for it. You will not be disappointed at all! They really went above and beyond and did more for me than what they had outlined they would do. I got more than my money worth.

Let's talk wedding planning. It can feel stressful handling a potentially large investment all the while you navigate social norms and your own expectations. You might be asking yourself questions like, "How much should something like that cost? How will it all come together? Am I on track with my time and my money?". These are questions we can answer, as well as hundreds of others that are bound to arise. We can talk budgets, timelines, Vendor selection, and design elements. Don't do it alone, let us make it easy!

Megan was absolutely fantastic. My husband and I were so relieved when we found her on Zola and hired her to help coordinate our wedding. Megan was organized, friendly, kind, patient, and fun. She was absolutley incredible to work with, and I cannot recommend her and Heidi enough. Megan, thank you for all you did to make our wedding day the best day ever!

I would not have enjoyed peace of mind on my wedding day if it weren’t for Kristen! She had everything taken care from the timeline of events to help decorating and ensured we stayed on time throughout the whole day. I appreciate so much her organization, consistent communication and calmness! The meetings leading up to the wedding were organized and quick - she had everything ready to discuss and we always left with a couple things to accomplish or nail down before the next. I could not have imagined my wedding go as smooth as it did without all her help! Highly recommend her services!
