"Mother of the bride here! First, you need a Coordinator. Second, you need Alyson!
Alyson is all about the details, which made me feel confident all would go smoothly. We had a 230 head count, LOTS of vendors and many sentimental details for my daughter’s wedding. Alyson didn’t miss a beat!
As mother of the bride, I was free to enjoy the planning but most importantly, the wedding day because Alyson had my back! I didn’t worry instead I was able to enjoy the day getting ready with my daughter.
The wedding went smoothly, even when we ended up having to flip the ceremony for the reception due to bad weather. Try doing that with 230 people and a plated dinner! Alyson handle it like a champ and I was oblivious to it all. All our guest commented on how seamlessly it went!
Thank you Alyson for a most perfect day!"

"Working with Alyson for our wedding was the best decision we could have made! As our month-of coordinator, Alyson not only worked with us the month-of our wedding but also helped us in decision making throughout the entire process :)
She worked with us to make sure we had all the necessary details figured out (including many that we would have never even thought about!) and took over coordination with each of our vendors which was super helpful!!
Additionally, Alyson helped us design our wedding layout and decorating - without her creativity we would not have had the beautiful wedding that we did :)
She also made us feel so special during our big day, checking in on us and making sure everything was what we wanted!!!
We could not recommend Alyson Jean Events enough!"
Katie & Caleb
"We loved working with Alyson! She helped us create the wedding of our dreams.
She is an excellent listener, has a fun and bubbly personality, and helped make me feel comfortable and confident through every step of planning and during the wedding day!"

"We chose Alyson and her team to help us coordinate our wedding and we could not be happier with our decision! It was such a relief to know that Alyson was our month of coordinator, it was the nicest feeling to hand everything over to her and feel confident that she would do an amazing job for us!
She handled the rehearsal, final orders for catering and rentals, floor plans, vendor coordination day of, and the complete set up and organization of our venue (and I am sure I am forgetting things). Her team flawlessly carried out our day of timeline, and they made sure that we had a stress free and wonderful day.
I could not be more thankful for their help, and I will always recommend them to any bride! It was so worth it to have an amazing team, I felt like I could truly leave all of the planning at that point to Alyson!
Chiara & Casey
"Working with these ladies has been amazing. There is nothing negative that I can think of honestly.
The team that coordinated my wedding day was absolutely a dream. I did not have to worry about anything. Even if there was something that was not going as planned they fixed it in less than few seconds.
All of my guests including my family were in awe of their work. I am a very anxious person but that day it all went away thanks to their work and efforts. I was amazed also how well they worked with all my vendors."
Gracie & Dylan
​
"Alyson is the best! She made my wedding day everything I dreamed of!
The days leading up to the wedding and the day of were so smooth all because of her hard work and dedication to making things perfect! She is so sweet and I could not have imagined having anyone else helping.
If you need an amazing coordinator book with her!"
Brianna & Colin
"Alyson is truly amazing and has the most calm, logical thought process. She helped us get our vendors set up and coordinate with them for wedding day details.
She did our decorating and made my vision come to life. She also remembered my veil at the last minute!
My favorite thing of the day was the aisle - we chose to move things inside so this was not part of my vision and it far exceeded anything I could have dreamed up.
So magical!"
Abby & Alec ​
​

​
Thank you again!"
Melissa & Jordan
"Alyson Jean Events is just the best!
They are a dream to work with. They will answer any questions you have in a timely manner. They will even come out on your dance floor and dance with you!!

"I cannot recommend Alyson highly enough! From the moment we started working together, she had all the answers to my questions and all of the questions I was forgetting to ask!
For the month leading up to my wedding, she handled rental changes, timeline, even centerpiece mishaps with total grace.
She is such a calming presence and a true professional to have in your corner!"
Jordan & Nathan
“Definitely would not have survived the month before the wedding without Alyson!! My daughter was married 1/1/22 and come 12/1/21; much of my stress & responsibilities were absorbed by Alyson :)
She is sweet, kind & so easy to work with. Some days we texted and/or called nonstop lol ~ to be honest I now miss our daily conversations as she is such a wonderful person.
Professionally speaking she is the one you want to coordinate your wedding!!”

“I cannot say enough good things about Alyson! She is one of the sweetest people I know and being a wedding coordinator was literally made for her.
With COVID and I am anxious in general, she ALWAYS had the right words to calm me and was always so positive. She was honestly a saint, because she put up with my anxiety.
The day of our wedding she went above and beyond and made sure everything was PERFECT.
My husband and I are so glad that we chose Alyson to be our coordinator, and highly recommend her to all couples!"
Jennifer & Cameron
"Alyson was amazing to work with as our month of coordinator at the Pavilion at Carriage Farm! She was super helpful with all of our many questions leading up to our wedding, including helping us with our rentals.
She ensured our wedding day went smoothly and kept us on time for all of the important events. Alyson has a great, calming personality and you can tell she loves what she does.
We highly recommend her for any important event!"

12/10 would recommend!!!"
Kelsey & Garrett
"Alyson was our month of coordinator for our wedding. Being a very organized and detail oriented person myself, I was nervous to let someone else take the lead the last month before we said “I do!”
Alyson was on top of the ball and did so much behind the scenes to make our day go smoothly and perfectly! We even used her as a resource prior to the month of that we had booked her for. She helped me find a hairstylist after our previous hairdresser cancelled on us three months prior. She also answered all of the random and little questions we had throughout our planning process.
We are very thankful that we chose to work with Alyson and grateful for all of her hard work and dedication to our special day."
Katie & Jordan
​
“My husband and I just got married this past weekend and Alyson completely outdid herself with our wedding. She was prompt, professional, organized, and completely took away any stressed I had on the wedding day.
All our guests complimented on how the space was set up and all of the attention to detail. She coordinated everything with our vendors and made the day flow seamlessly.
If I were to do our wedding all over again, I would still choose to work with Alyson because our wedding day was perfect and everything my husband and I could dream of and more!
Thank you so much Alyson for all that you did to make our wedding dreams come true!"
Rachel & Eli
"Alyson was absolutely amazing at helping out with my wedding on September 4, 2021! She really paid attention to the details that I didn't think of and helped me with any questions I had.
​
She was very attentive to the actual wedding and if anything was amiss or needed a solution, she came to me and sought my approval before resolving anything.
​
Alyson was also very willing to meet up leading up tot he wedding and open to go to vendor visits with me. Alyson was an absolute rockstar and my husband and I received so many compliments on the wedding and how everything went seamlessly. She's the best there is!"
Ali & Brandon
​
“Alyson was so wonderful to work with! She truly made it so the day could not have gone any smoother.
She understood the environment we wanted for the wedding, and she made it happen. She was so organized and prepared. She made sure that no details were skipped over while we were planning.
She continued to check on my husband and I through the night to see if there was anything she could do to help. She ensured that we were where we needed to be at the right time. She even made sure that the goat guest had his bowtie on for pictures!
We could not have asked for a better coordinator!"
Karsyn & Alan
"Alyson was our month-of coordinator for our wedding at the Pavilion at Carriage Farm, and she was wonderful! What sets her apart is her keen attention to detail.
As a small example, she diligently reviewed our contracts with our vendors and identified a discrepancy in our planned number of cocktail tables and the number of linens we had rented. She was able to contact our rental company and get this settled before the wedding.
On the day of our wedding, she turned our vision into a reality, even bringing my chicken scratch drawing of our cake table to life. She saved me and my bridesmaid with safety pins when my bridesmaid’s zipper broke while getting ready and when my bustle failed in the middle of the reception. She truly has it all covered!
We can’t thank Alyson enough for the excellent job she did coordinating our wedding!"
Travis & Michelle
​
“It was such a blessing to have Alyson as our coordinator leading up to the wedding and the day of. She helped us think through every aspect of the day to ensure it would go smoothly.
She was incredibly detailed, responsive, and helpful. We felt truly supported through a tiresome and eventful planning process.
The day of our wedding, each event flowed perfectly. Our decorations were just right. Our vendors knew where to be. Everything went off without a hitch — thanks to Alyson.
You would simply be remiss not to hire her for your planning and coordination! Thank you so so much, Alyson, you are simply a wonderful person!”
Zachary & Katherine
"My husband and I got married this past July. We were originally going to get married in 2020 but had to postpone due to Covid like so many others. We last minute changed our venue and location. We found our venue and thankfully found our wedding planner- Alyson.
Alyson absolutely crushed it and we so enjoyed working with her! She answered all our questions and so much more. We would have honestly been lost with out her so we are so thankful that we went with her as our planner. My husband and I were skeptical on having a wedding planner but were seriously so pleased and thankful that we decided to include Alyson in our wedding planning process and that she included us.
Alyson is so talented and genuinely a wonderful person! Thank you again Alyson on making our special day perfect!"
Keith & Daphne
​
"When I say Alyson is our superhero, I mean that quite literally. When our photographer (a family friend) was hospitalized the day before our wedding, Alyson saved the day by confirming an alternate photographer by 10:00 that evening. My relief was immeasurable.
The day of the ceremony went perfectly. I don't think my husband and I could have wished for anything more. I am a self professed control freak, but Alyson won my confidence from day one and made me worry free on our wedding day. Having someone so capable and knowledgeable about weddings put my mind at ease.
I cannot thank her enough for making our day so memorable and fun. Hiring her for our month of coordinator was the best decision we made!!
Thomas & Anika
"Alyson was amazing! Throughout the planning process she understood my vision for my wedding and was so helpful contacting vendors.
A goal of mine was to allow my mom and my mother-in-law to relax on the wedding day, and they were able to do just that knowing Alyson had everything under control.
I didn’t have to worry about a thing on our wedding day and got to enjoy my wedding and take it all in. You will be in great hands with Alyson!"
Brendan & Katlyn
​

of all the details!
​
I highly recommend her for your planner!"
Ryan & Stephanie
"I can’t say enough good things about Alyson! She is organized, extremely professional, quick to respond to emails, and so laid back and fun to work with.
For brides planning a wedding: having a planner/coordinator you can rely on takes so much stress away from wedding planning so that you can focus on being truly present on your special day (and of course enjoying your engagement instead of getting caught up in the stress of planning).
Alyson has an incredible eye for details and styling, and she is such a sweet person. I couldn’t recommend her more highly!"
Joseph & Caitlin
​
"Alyson was a blessing to have on the wedding day! There would have been NO way to get everything set up and decorated without her!

"After choosing The Pavilion at Carriage Farm for mine and my husbands venue, I knew I was choosing Alyson to be there for us on our wedding day! She was nothing short of perfect!
Everything went absolutely amazing. She handled everything with ease and it looked incredible! She’s so easy to work with and If I could go back and do it all over, we would choose her again!
You’ll miss out if you don’t pick her to be your planner!"
Thomas & Christina
"... Alyson clearly helped us understand what to expect. Had great recommendations on vendors. She organized the day in a way that allowed us to make the most of it. When it came to day of the wedding it was FLAWLESS!! Everything ran on time. People knew where to go and what to do. She kept all of our vendors on time.
We paid all our vendors in cash and she handled all the money. For my husband that really impressed him. Nice to know you can trust your coordinator with something like that. Alyson has become a great friend! You truly will be blessed to have your handle your event. She literally becomes part of the family!"
John & Maddy
"Alyson is truly amazing, and was a gift sent directly from God himself for our wedding! She thought of all the little details and managed everything with professionalism and promptness.
An ideal wedding coordinator is someone who takes all of the weight off of a brides shoulders- and she did exactly that and more! She made sure that the entire process was smooth and in style! She created our dream wedding using her passion, talents in coordination, and pure kindness of heart."
Ty & Morgan
"Alyson is absolutely incredible! She helped to ease stress from the minute we started working together the month of my wedding. She communicated with all of the vendors leading up to the wedding and took care of all logistics on my wedding day.
Alyson truly listened to my thoughts and helped bring them to life at The Pavilion at Carriage Farm. She made the entire wedding day run smoothly from start to finish and helped to make the day perfect. If you’re looking for a wedding coordinator, look no further!"
Robert & Morgan
"Alyson is the Pavilion at Carriage Farm's go-to coordinator for weddings and we completely understand why. She is organized, responsive, and friendly.
If you are considering Day of Coordinators for your wedding, at the Pavilion or another venue, we strongly recommend Alyson as she was incredibly flexible throughout the 2020 calendar year and offered best practices from her experiences that made our planning seamless. She really supported us leading up to our big day, and has stayed in touch since. Strongly recommend!"

Alyson was so patient with us as we navigated the wedding process during COVID-19, and knew just what to do. She is very detail oriented and didn't forget a single thing!

Zach & Brianna
"I’m not even sure where to start. Alyson made my Pinterest wedding dreams come true. She was so quick to respond, organized, made communicating with vendors easy and was beyond helpful. She made everything stress free and relaxing.
Not only was she my wedding planner but she was one of my bridesmaids. So to say the least she had double the duty. I would not want any one else to plan my big day. If you're looking for a wedding planner or day of coordinator Alyson Jean is amazing!"
Kasey & Delaney
"Alyson is a treasure! I cannot day enough good things. After all the planning and pre-wedding day activities, I thought my daughter’s actual wedding day would be a whirlwind for me.
Because of Alyson, the entire day - before during & after- was incredibly smooth and perfect. I could just relax and savor the most precious time with my daughter, family and wedding party."

"Alyson is amazing, I would highly recommend her to anyone! She helped me so much plan my wedding and think of things that I didn't even think of! She is super sweet and is so easy to talk to and get along with!
I also had other vendors that worked with her for my wedding tell me that of all the years they had been working with coordinators, Alyson was the best and most organized! So if you need help planning an event definitely hire Alyson, you won't regret it!
Thank you again Alyson for making my wedding day so special!"
Hunter & Brooke
"Alyson was absolutely AMAZING at coordinating my sister's wedding! She was on top of the timeline, super easy to get a hold of, an amazing communicator, professional, and a joy to be around.
My sister's wedding was huge (probably 150+ people) and I couldn't imagine her wedding without Alyson there to guide us through the entire thing. It was like Alyson was in 3 places at once sometimes, and anytime my sister or I (I was her wedding photographer) would need her, it was like Alyson would appear out of thin air with exactly what we needed.
I recommend Alyson to EVERYONE who is in need of a wedding planner. I promise she will take excellent care of you and craft a seamless wedding for you!!"
