XO Allison & Tara

  • Wedding planning does not have to be a stressful process.

    “Allison completely nailed our vision for our wedding day. In our planning meetings together, she was so thoughtful with every question she asked. She really makes sure your vision doesn't get lost along the way and that is stays true to you as a couple. No detail is too small for Allison and team.
    Wedding planning does not have to be a stressful process. Allison and Tara really made it fun and stress free. If I could do it over again with them I would in a heartbeat!”

    - Katie, Bride

    "Allison beyond exceeded our expectations as a wedding planner and we feel blessed to have had the opportunity to work with her. She is so detailed, passionate and truly takes the time to listen to what you want and create something magical. I gave her bits of ideas that I liked and she created a wedding beyond my wildest dreams.”

    “HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! Allison was fantastic in every way. She is extremely professional, detail oriented, creative and kind-hearted. She created my dream wedding by bringing my vision to life. We had a big wedding with many moving parts and she delivered on every single thing. She listened to every point of view and helped make the best decisions for the day.

She made me feel at ease every single step of the way and felt I could trust her without a doubt. Then on the wedding day, she took care of EVERYTHING. I have repeated over and over how she was a huge part of why our wedding was so special. She is amazing at her role, but also a wonderful person and now friend.
