Reviews of Alyssa Jean Signature Events, LLC (Event Planner)

Meagan Dolby

Hiring Alyssa was hands down the best decision we made when planning our wedding. We hired her for venue pairing and month-of wedding management. We asked her for a tall order: a barn wedding in New England on a Saturday in October, with less than 11 months notice and a modest budget. Alyssa went above and beyond to investigate and found us a brand new venue that checked every single item on our list. She knew exactly what questions to ask and pointed out things that we never would have thought of in determining which venue was the best fit for us. Over the next several months, we had access to many resources that helped us with decision making - online planning tools, checklists, preferred vendor lists, and most importantly, email access with Alyssa. Her preferred vendor list was fantastic and we built most of our vendor team based on those suggestions. She also specifically recommended options for hotels, transportation, and our amazing florist. As the wedding drew closer we started to get overwhelmed with all the minute details of wedding planning: catering details, rental quantities, photo lists, DJ surveys, etc. It was such a relief to have Alyssa jump in at the 8 week mark and make order of our chaos. We probably sent Alyssa a million questions and, while we knew she was working on a couple of other weddings at the same time, we always got prompt responses and never felt like we were lower priority - I doubt she actually got any off days this wedding season! She coordinated with all our vendors, made great suggestions, helped us figure out a floor plan, and created a wonderfully detailed timeline. On the day of the wedding, she worked tirelessly behind the scenes to set everything up exactly how we wanted it and coordinated the whole day flawlessly. She struck the perfect balance on the day of asking us what we wanted and making small decisions on her own to keep everything moving smoothly. Multiple friends and family members told us after the fact how friendly, efficient and professional she was. Alyssa was amazing and we are so glad we hired her.

We got married a month ago and couldn’t have done it without Alyssa! She is truly an amazing person and wedding planner. Alyssa did a great job helping us put together our vendor team, and her recommendations were on point. On the day of the wedding, she was there from the very start of the day – to the very end. Alyssa was one step ahead and I literally did not have to worry about ANYTHING. Between the limo, shuttle bus, cake delivery, flower delivery and most importantly the decorating of the venue, it all turned out like a dream. Right before I walked down the aisle, Alyssa was with me and we shared a moment where she truly felt more like a dear friend. She gave me the best pep talk to calm my nerves and I can’t imagine what that moment would have been like without her. Not only is Alyssa extremely easy to work with but she completely understood our vision – and has incredible taste. She was the hero of the night for fixing my bustle (which I hated - until she rearranged it). If we could do our wedding all over again – Alyssa would unquestionably be part of our team!

Alyssa was an absolute DREAM to work with! I recently got married in October and though I was spearheading the planning of the wedding, I knew I wanted, and needed a day of coordinator to get me through, and we could not have made a better decision in hiring Alyssa. I have to admit, I am an extremely detailed, overly organized, very type-A person when it comes to planning events, as I used to be in event planning, and Alyssa was the perfect match as she is just as detailed and organized, but also calm, flexible and understanding. She really wants to make sure her clients are feeling good and comfortable with the day, so really goes out of her way to make sure that happens. Leading up to the wedding, she was so on-point in connecting with vendors and letting them know she was now the main point of contact, that I did not even have to worry about things not being communicated! Alyssa is extremely responsive, professional, and has a wonderful, upbeat personality and attitude -- it's impossible not to like her and her work only emulates how wonderful she is. Even AFTER the wedding, I was having issues with locating extra favors and she reached out to the venue to get the answer and resolve the issue. Whenever there was something I just didn't have the capacity to do, I knew I could ask for her help, and never had a worry or doubt that she wouldn't do it expertly. It never appeared like this was just another wedding for Alyssa -- she makes you feel like your wedding is the most important and truly cares. You will not be dissappointed in hiring this ROCKSTAR. Thank you Alyssa for being the absolute best and making me feel so at ease!!

Alyssa was the planner/coordinator for a shower that I hosted and although it wasn't a wedding, I couldn't possibly have been more satisfied with her services and would absolutely trust her with a bigger event like a wedding. I live out of state so Alyssa was a huge help and essential to having the event go perfectly. She had recommendations and contact information for all the vendors I needed and totally handled all of the coordinating with the venue regarding food, drinks, etc. She also ran errands/picked things up for me and had everything set up at the venue by the time we arrived, a half hour before the event started, with just a few last minute things we wanted to add. She was extremely professional, reliable, and quick to respond to any questions I had... a true pleasure to work with! I felt she provided excellent value and would hire her again in a heartbeat if I had to host any other event in the area.

Hands down, I would highly recommend Alyssa to anyone getting married! From start to finish, she was incredible and a pleasure to work with! And honestly, we could NOT have done it without her! She was so helpful, she made the entire process so easy for us and not overwhelming as it can be at the very beginning. She even went out of her way on numerous occasions just to meet with us to get to know us more. Our wedding day was the single most wonderful and special day of our lives, and a lot in part to Alyssa and her hard work and expertise with vendors and pulling it all together. It was a true pleasure working with her - you would be making the right decision in doing so too.

I could NOT be more thankful that I found Mrs. Alyssa! My wedding was a 200 person affair on our family farm, meaning we were sourcing all our own vendors to the property. Needless to say, it was A LOT of coordinating and details. I decided to bring Alyssa on board as a "Month-of Coordinator" and she instantly made my pre-wedding jitters disappear. She insured all of my vendors (caterer, flowers, DJ, photographer, etc.) were all on the same page with timing and responsibilities. She tirelessly worked behind the scenes so I could focus on more fun details of wedding planning. She was so timely with her communication, extremely personable and basically seemed more of a good friend rather than a random person helping with my big day. When it came to the wedding, Alyssa was my eyes and ears; arriving early to help with decoration set up, ensuring everyone was exactly where they needed to be, keeping me and my husband on track with time and even stepping into help our bartender keep up with the drink demand (What a woman)! She was such a blessing and our wedding day would have not gone smoothly without her! Truly the BEST EVER!

Alyssa was my wedding coordinator when I got married at the beautiful Wentworth by the Sea Hotel and Spa in Portsmouth, NH, in August 2016. For those of you who aren't familiar with this venue, the Wentworth is a true gem that clearly hires top notch and talented workers to go above and beyond the expectations of bride and grooms on their wedding day. Alyssa was outstanding to work with from day one. She was very professional and attentive to details. I was one of those brides who was very particular with what I wanted, and she helped plan my wedding down to the smallest detail. Alyssa was also very responsive to my many emails. She always worked hard to grant any special requests and answer every question, big or small, right away. I highly recommend Alyssa's wedding services for any bride. I will never forget how beautiful the ballroom looked when she allowed my husband and I to see it prior to our reception. She truly nailed my "Great Gatsby" wedding theme and took by breath away! My special day would not have been the same without her!

If I could give Alyssa 10 stars I would! I was living in Minnesota and getting married in Connecticut. I would not have been able to plan my wedding without her! She took care of everything for me hundreds of miles away and I never had to worry. I have always heard brides saying how difficult the wedding planning process but I did not experience this, which I have to say is because of her! She gave me weekly checklists, spoke with all my vendors, was extremely professional, and made sure the actual day went perfectly. My wedding day was better than I have ever dreamed of and I owe that to Alyssa. Thank you so much again, and I would highly recommend her to any engaged couple!

Before I get into the heart of my review, HIRE Alyssa! You 100% won’t regret the decision and quite honestly, it will end up being one of the best wedding investments you make for your special day. I know for me, this was absolutely the case. This goes for whether you’re doing everything yourself or having your wedding at a venue. If you want a dedicated, personalized, professional person fulfilling your vision, Alyssa is that person. I recently got married on 9/1/18 and due to the type of wedding my husband and I were having (at my now in-laws backyard), we needed someone to handle day-of coordination. As I started researching vendors on The Knot, I found a couple to reach out to, including Alyssa. She was the first person I spoke to, and you know when you talk to someone and you can tell they just…fit with you, your personality, your family/friend’s personalities (that last one is a biggie and sometimes just as important)? Alyssa was it; there was no contest after I spoke to her. The thoughtfulness of her questions, her engagement, her enthusiasm, her professionalism…no one came close. Remember my family/friends comment? I have some similar type A, serious planning people in my life and knew Alyssa would be on top of everything enough to put us all at ease. That’s exactly what she did. She truly made my husband and my vision come to life. Not only did she come extremely prepared for our first meeting with questions that spanned everything from the ceremony to the reception to décor and anything in between, she also had such amazing insight on things with the caterer for instance, as well as things we hadn’t even thought of. She was also more than willing to be involved pulling details together, like folding and tying 120+ napkins the night before. She always listened, never rushed me through my thoughts, and was extremely responsive. Alyssa not only handled all the day-of details, but also managed our vendors! This was an incredible help to my mother-in-law and I as we were renting everything for a wedding in my in-law’s backyard (tent, tables, chairs, linens, bar, decorations, etc). This allowed my mother-in-law and I to focus our attention elsewhere. She also handled our wedding party fantastically, which was by all accounts, like herding cats

Hiring Alyssa to help as our day of coordinator was one of the best decisions we made. She listened to our vision and pointed us in the right direction when we needed help leading up to the wedding, especially that last month when there were a million things going on. She worked seamlessly with our vendors and kept everyone well informed leading up to the event. The day of the event, Alyssa arrived early, checked in with us and then executed our vision for ceremony and reception set up perfectly. Weather did not cooperate for our outdoor ceremony, but she kept us calm and came up with an alternative that still allowed us to have the ceremony we wanted. She is calm, organized, friendly and professional. We both loved working with her and highly recommend her!

I used Alyssa as a day of coordinator for my wedding in Sept 2018 - she was fabulous! I wish I utilized her for the entire wedding! Alyssa is extremely organized, professional, and helpful. She comes with great knowledge and advice on wedding planning. She has tons of helpful planning tools and information which I heavily relied on. Alyssa has great advice and follows your wishes! Alyssa is extremely responsive and willing to answer any questions you have. Her organization and attention to detail with the planning impressed me the most! She took extensive notes during every call, meeting, etc. and was always in the loop of what was going on (if not ahead of me)! My vendors enjoyed working with Alyssa as well. I would highly recommend Alyssa as a wedding planner, you will not be disappointed.

So happy my daughter Aubrey and son-in-law Quen chose Alyssa as their wedding coordinator. Their wedding day was perfect! And thank you Alyssa for so graciously answering my many questions throughout the evening. You were always so calm and happy to assist and it is very much appreciated!

Helen Wang

Alyssa was the single best decision my husband and I made in planning our wedding! From our first meeting until the big day, Alyssa was the consummate professional and an absolute joy to work with. She took our ideas and always came back to us with thoughtul suggestions and amazing vendor selections. She took care of coordinating all our vendors (each of whom made it a point to tell us how much they enjoyed working with her) and kept us on track with gentle reminders of meetings and due dates. On the actual wedding day, we were able to relax and enjoy ourselves knowing that Alyssa was there. We can't recommend her highly enough. -Helen & Steve

Alyssa was absolutely fantastic to work with for our wedding. We hired her to do our day-of-event coordination, but she went above and beyond by helping us nail down our final arrangements with our vendors and the venue. We had some minor last-minute issues with our food truck caterers, but Alyssa straightened them out with zero stress for us. She was very well organized, and very attentive to the details that were important to us. She was very responsive when we had questions or needed something taken care of with a vendor. During the wedding itself, Alyssa was excellent at making sure the event went smoothly in all respects: the venue and decorations were set up exactly as we wanted them before the guests arrived, the bridal party was where they needed to be at all times, the vendors knew when and where to set up, the evening's program unfolded exactly on time, and she broke down everything at the end of the night for us so we didn't have to worry about that. In the days since, we have received high praise for how well the wedding went from multiple family members and friends, and that is a testament to the great job Alyssa did. If anything during the wedding didn't go perfectly, we didn't know about it, because Alyssa just took care of it. We would highly recommend her to anybody who needs a day-of coordinator.
