Samantha & Matthew
She was so professional, flexible, and an absolute joy to work with. Her eye for decor is impeccable, she made my vision come to life (and then some!) while still helping me to stay within budget. Her vendor recommendations were all amazing. By the time the actual wedding day came around, I knew I could trust her to handle anything that came up and I was able to sit back and enjoy my day."
"My only regret was that I didn’t hire Alana sooner!
