Investment & Booking
From a real couple:
-L & E
“My husband and I live in Boston but chose to have our intimate wedding in Chicago… we wanted to ensure every detail was thoughtfully executed, and since we weren’t local, we knew we needed someone we could trust completely…Alyson put us at ease with her knowledge, organization, and warm, reassuring presence.
As a couple planning from a distance, we were initially nervous, but Alyson’s expertise and communication made all the difference. She helped us bring our vision to life while making sure we stayed on track and stress-free.
On the wedding day itself, she was truly exceptional. Everything ran flawlessly—our timeline, vendor coordination, and all the little details we hadn’t even thought of were handled with grace…We were able to be fully present and enjoy every moment.
For any couple looking for a planner who is organized, thoughtful, and truly invested in making your day special, look no further—Alyson is simply wonderful!”
