Eventlightenment Planning -

Do you want your wedding planning to be fun or to be stressful? With Ali IT IS FUN!
My mom and I had a blast planning my wedding.
LOOK NO FURTHER BECAUSE ALI IS THE BEST.
Working with Ali means your are in good hands and you’ll know your event will be a success.

Ali planned my entire wedding and she knows what is worth it to spend money on and what is not worth it.

Better yet, she SET ME UP FOR SUCCESS. I wasn't anxious on my wedding day because I knew Ali had it all handled.

Ali was the most organized and enthusiastic person I have ever worked with. She definitely was one of those girls who took perfect notes in class with a plethora of different pen colors.

Here are some reasons that she is the best of the best:
- She always answered all calls, emails, and texts right away
- She writes down and delivers on every detail you mention. (For instance, in our initial meeting, I briefly mentioned that I wanted to incorporate a nyc subway map into the design of our wedding and our entire seating chart and table numbers were in the style of the nyc subway.)
- Every vendor, venue, guest, and person in the wedding party said she was a JOY TO WORK WITH and said she was the BEST WEDDING PLANNER ANY OF THEM HAD EVER WORKED WITH. This is important because we were treated with the utmost respect and care by all vendors and venues, which I know is not the case for most events.
- I don't want to brag, but our guests continue to say that our wedding was the most fun wedding they have ever been to. I respond and say that it was all Ali!
- She handles awkward family dynamics, such as multiple divorces in one family, SOOO WELL.
- By the end of the planning process, I was sad my meetings with Ali would be over 🙁

I went back and forth on whether or not I needed a wedding day-of coordinator, and I am so happy I decided to go with Ali! From the pre-wedding planning to the day-of, Ali and her team were on top of every detail. They ensured everything ran smoothly and according to schedule, keeping everything on track so my husband and I could fully enjoy the day without any stress. From coordinating the timeline to managing the vendors, Ali handled it all seamlessly.

My main concerns were transportation logistics and making sure everyone was in the right place at the right time. Ali went above and beyond by creating a detailed schedule for all our vendors, ensuring everyone was on the same page. She also helped us coordinate transportation for the bridal party and guests, ensuring everyone had smooth and timely rides to and from the venue. This is just a drop in the bucket of all the details Ali helped us coordinate and manage on our wedding day! If you're looking for a reliable, detail-oriented wedding planner, look no further! We can't recommend Ali enough.

We worked with Eventlightenment for our September 2024 wedding and we highly recommend! Ali is an expert in the industry and was able to flawlessly plan the wedding weekend of our dreams. Her attention to detail and level of organization is incredible. We were undecided if we really even needed to work with a wedding planner and I'm so glad we did! Ali was our point person for all logistics, vendors and design. She pulled off our dream wedding and completely understood the vision we had in mind. Highly recommend if you are looking for a wedding planner- it’s one of the best investments we could have made. Not only was our wedding absolutely beautiful, but we were able to actually enjoy it because we knew Ali had it all covered!

Choosing to work with Eventlightenment was easily the best decision/investment that my wife and I made when it came to our wedding. Ali and Kalin took over our wedding plans when we were 90 days out. They handled all of our vendor emails, vendor communications, and created what seemed like a minute by minute timeline that allowed us to unplug and relax up to our day.

Ali and Kalin brought a wealth of industry knowledge to the table, making it easy to confide in them when we were looking for feedback or recommendations.

The amount of work that Ali and Kalin put in both on and behind the scenes to ensure perfection was invaluable.

There is no team that I’d recommend more than Eventlightenment.

I had the pleasure of working with Eventlightenment Planning on a recent styled shoot and couldn't be more impressed with Ali's eye for design, attention to detail, and communication throughout the planning, shoot itself, and post shoot process. She brought an incredible team of vendors together to create a beautiful day. She even brought snacks for us to enjoy during the shoot which was so thoughtful and the nicest touch! I look forward to working with her again later this month..and then next..and hopefully more after that! Highly recommend!

I am so incredibly grateful to Ali for being such an integral part of our wedding day. It would not have come together so beautifully without her invaluable time, support, and effort. Ali is extremely responsive and knowledgeable. I am so appreciative of her expertise and empathetic approach to problem-solving. As with any wedding, we hit a few bumps along the way, and Ali was integral to resolving any issues that popped up. She always made herself available and provided us with timely, thorough responses both via email and over the phone. On my wedding day, her associate was by my side to guide me through the day. Ali managed all the vendors expertly and even steamed my veil in a pinch. Anyone would be lucky to have Ali as their planner.

Ali is wonderful! She provided us with a Petite Planning Session to talk about our wedding plans and offered specific advice for 2 hours. She is a wealth of knowledge, and provided awesome insights and recommendations that we plan to execute. She also tailored advice to our budget, which was very helpful in finding areas to be more cost effective. Speaking with Ali has made us more confident in moving forward with wedding planning decisions, and meeting with her felt like chatting with a good friend! Thanks, Ali!!

Ali is an absolute dream to work with! As a calligrapher I get the opportunity to collaborate with many planners and couples, but Ali stands out as one of the most organized and proactive, covering all the bases. I recently completed stationery sets for two styled shoots that Ali planned, and the vision, deliverables, timeline and execution were flawless. As both a calligraphy vendor and bride-to-be, I can't recommend Ali enough! (Photos: MollyLoPhotography.com)
