“Alison and Bryan, we could not have asked for better partners in pulling off our dream wedding weekend. Everything felt so perfectly us and beyond what we ever hoped our guests would feel and experience. We are so grateful to have found such a talented, passionate and amazing team, and we do not have the words to thank you for the moments you created for us and for our guests.
- Caroline and Alan, San Francisco
“Alison and Bryan, we are still floating!! What a spectacular wedding you just conducted us through. The entire celebration was so well organized, paced, welcoming, warm and beautiful. Every detail was anticipated and attended to by you. We are so grateful for your unparalleled level of service, professionalism, warmth, sensitivity and awareness of the many dynamics of planning a successful wedding (and for helping to guide us through it!).”
- Emilie Murphy, New York
“Alison & Bryan, there aren’t enough words - two weeks out and we’re still floating. I am endlessly grateful for the trust you allowed us to place in you. When I came around the corner with my Dad, headed toward the aisle, I burst into tears at the beauty. It was beyond anything we could’ve imagined. And What. A. Party!!!”
- Jess and Neil, LA/London
“Dear Alison & Bryan, I have been thinking about what words I can write to thank you - I still don’t have them. We are forever indebted to you - you made our wedding dreams come true. It was the most magical, perfect, and meaningful weekend of my life. I couldn’t have dreamt for more. My heart is so full.”
- Joanna Rejebian, New York/Hawaii
“I can't stop thinking about and looking at pictures of that amazing wedding! You two are the most professional, inspiring, insightful, capable, organized, efficient, calm, talented, personable, and hard-working people I know. I could go on and on with an endless list of admiring qualities you possess. We are so lucky to have found you. Please know we so appreciate all your hard work and we are eternally grateful for what you did for our whole family. We are all better for knowing people like you - your energy is such a positive in the world.”
- Jan Schneider (MOB), Chicago
“Alison and Bryan, you are makers of dreams come true. There is absolutely no other way to put it. In our wildest dreams, we never could have imagined the beauty, professionalism, creativity, thoughtfulness, and fun you would bring our wedding day and every day of the planning process. To work with the two of you is to treat yourself to an engagement and wedding planning process you can actually enjoy, be involved in, and STILL be surprised by. It means being present, soaking it in, celebrating with those you love, pinching yourself, and wishing you could do it over and over again. Thank you for the memories we will never forget. You are family and we adore you.
- Danielle David and Ben Parks, New York
“Thank you so much for everything! We are just over the moon. I’m just so appreciative of you and Bryan and your fabulous team; it all turned out better than I could have imagined. Literally everyone is saying it’s the best wedding they’ve ever been to. It’s beyond how you made all of this happen. We will remember this weekend forever and ever.”
- Marla Moravec, Los Angeles
“I am still in shock! Such an amazing weekend, everything was so perfect and above and beyond what I even thought possible! Everyone told us it was hands down the best wedding they’ve ever been to and second doesn’t even come close. Each moment of the wedding topping the one before. The lights on the Adriatic Sea, are you joking?! What a showstopper! You guys took my very vague vision of “I don’t know, somewhere in Europe or maybe even California” and blew it up into something amazing! I've never seen myself that happy in my life! Thank you so much for putting that smile on my face and for knowing what I wanted before I did! I'll never be able to thank you enough for the joy you brought us.”
- Youmna Sakr, Chicago
“Alison and Bryan were able to take our very abstract vision and translate it into a wedding that was more beautiful and personal than I could have ever dreamed. They also flawlessly pulled it off in a day of monsoon-like rain, and even had everyone saying the rain made it better. From their reputation and previous weddings we saw, we knew they were going to be amazing, but what we didn’t expect was how close they became to us and our families. They took the time and effort to get to know not just Alex and I, but all the important people in our lives, adding personal touches throughout the entire event which is what made our wedding so personal and special. We are lucky to now call them our friends.”
- Ali Bressler, New York
“There aren’t enough words in our language to describe how impressed I am with both of you. You are truly spectacular people—professionally and as human beings. You made Alex and Ryan’s wedding weekend a joyous, memorable, and gorgeous affair. You helped my daughter‘s lifelong wedding dream become a reality. You handled every day, situation, and personality (especially mine) with respect, affection, and humor. I felt like I could really enjoy the weekend with you by our side and in charge. It was an incredible gift to “let go” and be in the moment, knowing you were there. When Alex was little and couldn’t fall asleep, I would lay with her and she would describe her wedding. Well, this was the dream. And, you two made this real. You will live in our hearts and I hope we get to see you both again!”
Sari McClure, San Francisco
“They are creative and organizational geniuses (this is not an exaggeration). Alison and Bryan are INCREDIBLY talented, responsive, and professional. They helped me seamlessly plan a wedding from New York, despite my own hectic schedule and limited availability. Alison’s taste is impeccable (beyond! — seriously, she has the best taste in the business and recommends only the most talented vendors), and she and Bryan have an astute business sense that really shines. If you want to have the wedding you envision, but fifty times better, do yourself a favor and work with Alison and Bryan.”
- Melody Akhavan Abbey, New York
“These two know how to throw the best party you have ever experienced. They created a 5-star wedding in a forest for us, designing and building the entire dream world from the ground up, literally. They are sensitive to the culture of a great party - the music, the length, the number of speeches, the timing of the food, the ratio of servers to guests, the list goes on. Their intuitive agility is second to none, moving seamlessly from conversations with my mother about place settings to budget and financial considerations with my CEO father. They are, without question, the best I have seen at their craft.
- Sarah Power, San Francisco
