I hired Alliyah and her crew for my wedding on 9/5 this year. And I honestly to god could not speak higher of her and her professionalism and dedications to her weddings. I booked her a year and a half out, and she stayed very close and checked in on me even before things ramped up. Alliyah is one of the most organized and put together person, which was the OPPOSITE of me. I never had a vision for decor or anything along those lines while planning. She made sure I had all the pieces I needed and more! she gave a huge checklist and gave me ideas and mockups for my floor plan. She put together my seating chart and other signs I would’ve forgot and they were gorgeous! She also has so many amazing connections within the industry, and we booked quite a few vendors she suggested at amazing prices. All the people we booked through her were so enthusiastic about what they did and were an amazing fit for us! Day of, I threw a bunch of decor at Alliyah, said anything goes, and holy crap did she make it happen! It was so beyond gorgeous. I had so many people compliment the layout and take pictures for their own weddings! We had quite a few blips prior to our wedding day and on the wedding day and Alliyah provided options to us, while also explaining the costs and benefits. Not to mention, when there was a vendor issue, she absolutely went to bat for me and wrote out the most well put together email to a vendor. Day of, Alliyah went above and beyond to make me comfortable and kept me so calm. My husband felt sick day of, and she sat with us, checked in on the timeline and reorganized so that we could have more leisure time. Food arrived late, Alliyah communicated and restructured for that so that everything flowed seamlessly! I also booked her for cleanup and honestly it was INSANE on how she was able to fit everything in my husbands truck and my car. The venue was left beautiful, and nothing got lost or damaged. It was all put together in the car in a way that made sense! She was such an integral part of my wedding planning and wedding day process and I would do it 10000x over again, regardless of the cost. She saved me so much sanity, and truly made me feel like we were close friends throughout the whole process. If you are looking for someone who puts their entire heart and soul into making sure your wedding day goes the way you want, I HIGHLY recommend Alliyah and her full planning package. The cost is well worth what you get. Thank you for being my bridal bestie!

We cannot say enough amazing things about The Bridal Bestie and especially Alliyah. From start to finish, she was exceptional. Her communication was flawless whether we were on Zoom, meeting in person, or coordinating last-minute details, she was always one step ahead and incredibly organized. Every idea we had for our wedding day was executed exactly how we envisioned it, and she made sure nothing was overlooked. Beyond her professionalism, Alliyah brought a calm, reassuring energy that truly carried us through the day. She checked in constantly, kept me breathing and grounded, and made sure we were able to fully enjoy each moment without stress. Our wedding would not have been the same without her. We highly, highly recommend The Bridal Bestie for any couple looking for a planner who is not only detail-driven and reliable, but also genuinely caring. She is outstanding in every way.

Hiring The Bridal Bestie wedding planning service was the best decision we could've made for our wedding. 5 months in, I was so overwhelmed with planning. I had connected with other planners but from the first call I had with Alliyah, she was soooo sweet, knowledgeable, and reassuring. She immediately put me at ease. I knew deep in my heart I was in the right hands. We went with the full planning service. In my opinion, if you have the means, you should not hesitate to do full planning! From day one, Alliyah and her team were available for unlimited communication including regular Zoom meetings, texting, phone calls, etc. She went with us to venue tour, she was there for every step of the process. She also made our budget a priority, even more than we did! She saved us thousands with her connections, creativity, and resources including preferred vendors that we would never have found without her. How she managed to truly make our vision come to life will always astonish me. I mean it when I say, I could NOT have pulled off what we accomplished without her! The day of was easily the best day of our lives. WE WERE STRESS FREE! The week of, Alliyah and her team took over communication with vendors, family, etc so we could just pamper ourselves and relax. She managed everything with such grace and professionalism, I'm still in shock from how well everything turned out. So many people during and after have told us it was the best wedding they'd ever attended! During the planning process, we got to see Alliyah's work ethic, her sense of humor, her creativity, and her HUGE heart. She held space for us and fit into our schedule, got to know our families, and showed everyone so much kindness that they want to invite her to Thanksgiving, LOL!! At this point, she's more than a wedding planner, she became a friend. I trust her so much from my experience that when we are ready to go on our honeymoon the ONLY planning we will do will be through Alliyah and her team. I'm telling you, RUN DON'T WALK and book The Bridal Bestie. Alliyah, THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts for making this moment perfect, and full of love. I will never have the words to say how much this time has meant to us. We couldn't have done it without you, and I wish you all the prosperity, peace, and abundance that you truly deserve!

Where do I even begin...Alliyah and Avery are hands down the BEST. I happened to book The Bridal Bestie before realizing who they were. I met them through a Bridal Expo and took down there info. My Mom began to follow them on IG and FB and we decided to set up a consultation. Little did I know this would be the BEST decision I EVER made. Alliyah was there through EVERY step of the way and MORE. Anything I needed she was on top of it. Stupid questions, silly requests and serious problems. On the big day, I did not think it could be possible, but she and Avery were even better. My wedding was PERFECT in EVERY way. I hate to say that my wedding was a dream, but it was. I had ZERO worries and 100% confidence in giving The Bridal Besties full reign on decisions for the day of. I wish that I could book them again to plan everything else in my life due to their professionalism and the way my requests were made possible. I will ALWAYS recommend The Bridal Bestie. THANK YOU ALLIYAH AND AVERY!!!
