    Love notes

    "The day was perfect, not because of the decor or the food, or the flowers, but because of my trust in you and your team was so deep that I never worried about making a decision that day-I could just enjoy it all. You are special and brilliant and strong. Keep bringing happiness and joy into the world by wearing your heart on your sleeve."
    Bryanna and Adam
    “I know why you are absolutely wonderful at your job-it’s because you love love Alicia! I have never met anyone in my 30 years on earth who is so truly passionate about love! And the essence of marriage is love, two people deciding to spend their loves together is such a powerful thing and you have devoted your life’s work to making that day magical, loving and stress-free.”
    Alex and Aaron
    “Alicia always made us feel that we were her only clients, when in fact she had numerous couples at any given time who I have no doubt felt the same."
    Claire and Chris
    "I know our wedding was a complicated one and involved so many vendors and components, without you we probably would have just done everything in a cookie cutter style, but because of you, we were able to have the wedding of our dreams. One that was truly unique and one that let our personalities and creativity shine through. So many of our guests told us it was the best wedding they had ever been to."
    Phoebe and Stephen
    “When we first met Alicia some things were really obvious. She is warm, kind and understanding. Her joy of weddings - all types of weddings, and her love of the celebration of love - again, all types of love, were infectious. Also obvious was that this woman KNOWS weddings.” 
    Jessica and Eric
    “You made my vision come to life. And I enjoyed every minute knowing you had my back. You were my calm and my rock. When I felt like I was going to float away before walking down the aisle, it was you that grounded me."
    Wincy and Michael
    "...more importantly, we thank you for all your unwavering support throughout the planning process. From the countless number of hours you spent with us deliberating the smallest of details, to the thousands of emails you sent on our behalf, to being a listening ear and for all the other things not mentioned. We miss our emails saying that "I'm on it", or "It's all taken care of" or "I've got your back". We really meant what we said in our speech-that you are truly one of a kind because you take a personal interest in each of your couple's weddings. It's what sets you apart from the rest."
    Stephanie and Jeremy

    “We are so grateful to you for being our wedding planner.  You truly are the best! Your guidance made the whole process easier for us and really lessened our anxiety with the tight planning timeline.

 Wedding day exceeded all our expectations. We're a little sad it's over too, it was such a magical night. The whole day felt like a dream come true!”
    Emily and Stephen
    “From the minute I spoke with her on the phone during our initial meeting, to the wedding day, and everything in between, Alicia and her team were professional, inspiring, creative, detail-oriented, intelligent, compassionate and so much more. She was always on time, on budget, organized, and a true joy to work with.”
    Elisia and Justus
    “We are so appreciative of everything you did for us during this whole process.  From start to finish you were absolutely incredible – so much of how the event turned out was due to your creativity and brilliance.”
    Jacqueline and Derek
