Alfresco Weddings and Events

In our search for a wedding planner, we reached out to a few different people and decided to go with Liz because of the connection we felt from our first email exchange and conversation and value for service. Liz was willing to work with us on our vision and within our budget which was important to us. Our monthly virtual meetings, and more frequent calls and texts as we got closer to the day provided an opportunity to ask questions and helped put our minds at ease working through communications with our venue and all the little details. Liz also helped us source some wonderful vendors including photographer, DJ, and violinist. Despite all the planning, our big day did not go as planned. Due to a storm, our venue had trees down and was without power. Within a three-hour window leading up to our ceremony, Liz and event assistant Sarini worked quickly to pivot with our family, friends, and vendors to re-set up our ceremony and reception at a totally new location. We are still in disbelief with how smoothly things went and cannot imagine how the day would have gone without this team of professionals.

From start to finish the experience working with Liz was exactly what we needed! Liz has a calming presence and we were able to put our full trust in her to take care of the details. She took the little bit of information we provided about our likes and turned it into a beautiful day that exceeded all of our expectations. She connected us with vendors (photography, cake, charcuterie, live music, florals) that all provided amazing service and contributed to making this day better than we even imagined. She made sure we had all the special moments - a grand entrance, first dance, cake cutting, champagne toast and time to mingle with our guests. Thank you for such an incredible day!

Liz did a fantastic job overall for us. Towards the last few days before the wedding she was very helpful and really on top of the final details - including table set up, seating assignment, procession order, and wedding cake. She was at the venue from morning until just before the end of the party. The two big things for me was 1) ensuring the procession was orderly and organized and 2) making sure we stuck to the schedule somewhat precisely. These two things were definitely a success! and I couldnt imagine not having Liz there for us. There were a few delays leading up to the event that caused me to second guess my decision to get a wedding planner, but these were fully reconciled by Liz's proactive work leading up to and on the day of the wedding.

When my husband and I first started to plan our wedding we thought that Covid would be long gone by the time our wedding came along. Boy were we wrong! Thankfully we had Liz who kept us in the loop with all of the restrictions and how we could still have our perfect day while keeping everyone safe!

She was there to help brainstorm ideas, keep me sane with the ever changing restrictions and was an asset to our day that we didn't know we needed! She always made us feel as if she was truly invested in us having our dream wedding and it would not have been possible without her!

Liz you are amazing and such a pleasure to have worked with! Thank you for making our day so magical!

When me and my husband decided to get married, we decided to do it at the Millbrook Cathedral because it was close to his hometown and of how unique the venue was. Liz met us for our tour and she was so warm and I felt that she was personally invested in our special day.

Last year, we thought our wedding wasn’t going to be impeded by COVID restrictions. I just felt like I was getting bad news, and I was super thankful that I had hired Liz as my wedding planner because she kept me in the loop about wedding restrictions, she gave me options and most of all, I had someone to talk to. As a bride, planning your own wedding is super stressful and then adding on top of that a pandemic— wow.

I didn’t intend to have a wedding planner initially but boy I don’t have any regrets. From video calls, phone calls, text messages to our wedding day, Liz was there. She helped us with our music! She even took care of the decor! The venue was beautiful and intimate and everything you would want for a wedding in a pandemic! So please, hire her because you really don’t need all that stress for the most important day of your life.
