As the father of the groom Alexandra is the absolute best wedding facilitator that is out there You want someone who is calm? Cool? Collective? And is personable? Then I highly recommend using her services. She made the wedding go smoothly and kept everything on time so we didnt have to worry about anything and we could enjoy seeing our son get married. Thank you Alexandra, youre the best

So my journey with Alexandra started a year ago I would say November 2016 when I met her through a mutual friend of mine. From the very beginning I was super impressed by Alexandra and her knowledge, her passion, and her overall excitement for planning weddings. I told her that I am someone who loves sparkles glitz and glam Mariah Carey style and she was super excited to work with me I felt like from the beginning. From start to finish she did everything that she said she was going to do when it came to reaching out to vendors in the beginning and setting up appointments etc. She was even helpful in some not so comfortable situations with vendors when mistakes were made on their end and their reaction to us pointing those mistakes out. When the day of my wedding arrived I was unbelievably overwhelmed by how everything looked it was literally just exactly how I imagined it. I definitely got the wedding of my dreams I felt like and with Alexandra’s help it was just an amazing wedding over all she is truly the best and knows her stuff! From the bottom of my heart thank you so much Alexandra for everything from start to finish!!!!

Alexandra is amazing! She coordinated my daughters wedding and did a great job. The day of she was organized, professional and handled all the wedding craziness that came her way.

Alexandra and the entire White Glove team is the best in the Tri-Cities! Incredibly professional, organized, and always giving that little extra bit that makes them stand out from the crowd. In a sea of amateurs and hobbyists, the difference in an experienced professional is evident, and could be the margin between the day of your dreams or a stressful mess. I refer clients to White Glove whenever possible, and am always thrilled when we get to work together!

I had the pleasure of meeting Alexandra last year when she brought a lovely couple to tour our venue for a fall wedding. From the get go, I could tell that not only was Alexandra extremely professional and experienced, but that her first priority was keeping her client's best interest at the top of the list. Alexandra was always on top of communicating with me the logistics for the couple's big day and nothing fell through the cracks. Her vision and design for this particular couple was spot on and she really thought of everything. She knew how to best mix the bride & groom's taste with the natural esthetics of the venue to create one of the most breathtaking weddings we have hosted in our space! I enjoyed the creative spin she put on arranging ceremony space as well as the use of our other spaces that I have not envisioned before. Most importantly, the bride, groom and the mother of the bride were so relaxed on the day of the wedding, they were able to truly enjoy their big day without the worries of things not getting taken care of. Our venue has never listed a wedding coordinator on our preferred vendor list, but after working with Alexandra, I knew we had to change that. I look forward to continuing a partnership with Alexandra and White Glove Weddings as she continues to introduce me to new couples as well as offering us a spot in her new gorgeous bridal bar that we can't wait to get started! The current and upcoming brides of the Tri-Cities are lucky to have such an experienced and professional resource to ensure their big day is even better than anticipated!

I got a peek inside the new Bridal Bar and couldn’t be more excited for White Glove Weddings and their clients. Spend a few minutes with Alexandra and you will see her professionalism and attention to detail and you will definitely feel her passion. Can’t wait for the grand opening - Congratulations!

Disclaimer: This review is my best recollection and representation of my experience with effort to be kind, fair, and truthful. Honestly, I feel that Alex is very knowledgeable and resourceful. She (herself) is a great resource, owning 4 businesses related to the wedding and event coordinating trade (including a non-profit.) I just finished utilizing her for my wedding planning, coordination, and event management. My husband and I just celebrated our one week anniversary. I give Alex 4 stars because there were times where I feel she did not necessarily mesh with my personality during the planning. I feel that she did not always listen to me as her client. I feel that I was threatened and anxious during some of the experience. She appeared forceful; or, I should actually say very exuberant and verbose, at times. I also feel that she thought I was dumb, that my say didn’t matter, and was invalid...even though I was the bride. Granted, at first I did not have much to say. My vision was still developing. I understand that she is the expert; but, it was my day being planned for; and, I owned some validity. She hurt my feelings. As some constructive feedback, during preparation she seemed to not be as flexible as I expected her to be. Therefore, I also feel that there was miscommunication between her, myself, and my family. I feel if she reiterated her expectations to me a few more times verbally during the beginning of this process, our communication would have been better. Not just to my Matron of Honor, but me directly. I should have done the same for her as well. Yes, I probably should have been more open and honest with her, but I was scared to approach her. She intimidated me. I also heard from a vender that, “ she has expectations and energy for clients that live in California.” This is great; though it can be challenging, especially since this was a new experience for me (the bride) and my family...and I do not live in California. It seemed that, If you can be proactive, and do exactly what she tells you (on her time frame,) then you are good to go. But that was not the case for me. After all, I thought I was paying her to help me ease into this process stress free (or with less stress) but she ended up causing me and my family more stress. **In all fairness, I retained her when there were only a few months prior to my wedding. When I first met her, I think it’s appropriate to say I fell in love with her. l adored seeing her charisma and how knowledgeable she was within her field. Because I gain a quick sense of security and optimism with her, I hired her on the spot. I feel that if we had more time, we might have had better communication. I am someone who is not very good at planning, likes to be spontaneous, procrastinate, and can sometimes only live life day by day; this is especially when I am stressed. She told me that she expected for me to make appointments within 1-2 weeks in advance with her. I was not able to do that for her. **I have to give her credit though. She really pulled it together at the end; she accommodated me, made me feel appreciated and cherished. She made my husband’s and my day very special. My friends, family and my attendees RAVED about how the day was beautiful and “perfect!” Thank you Alexandra! You expertises and eye for elegance is amazing. I just wish we had better communication. Thanks again for helping us make our day the best day ever!

Alexandra is one of the most dedicated business women I know. Before I even met her I heard from others how hard working she is, how organized and talented. Once I finally did get to meet her, I was not disappointed at all. The photos are astonishing examples of the kind of class this woman can provide to your event. I know I'm going to use her when my husband and I decide to renew our vows for our 25th wedding anniversary!!!

Andrew Grassick

Very professional and creative. The best around.

Alexandra with White Glove Weddings made our wedding absolutely perfect!!! We couldn't have done it without her. She was professional with us and all of our vendors, recommended excellent vendors for us to work with, and made it so ourselves and our family/ wedding party did not have to stress at all the day of our wedding. She made a detailed time-line for our wedding day and was able to keep everything running smoothly and in a timely manner. She went above and beyond what we had hired her to do. She picked up our flowers for us, brought all of our bouquets to me at our hotel room, and set up ALL of the decorations for our ceremony/ reception without having to ask for help from any of our family. We were able to enjoy our day without being bothered by any phone calls or hassles. If that wasn't enough, she even decorated our hotel room with flowers and candles for our wedding night!!!! We were so impressed by her stellar service that we recommended her to my best friend to help with day- of coordination for her wedding, where she did an excellent job as well.

Hiring White Glove Weddings to coordinate my wedding made planning so easy and stress-free! With my fiancé on deployment, and the wedding party and family living on the east coast, I knew that I needed some help! I hired White Glove Weddings 10 months before my wedding to help me plan the entire event. She is so organized, professional, extremely hard working, and has numerous contacts in the wedding industry in the Tri Cities, not to mention endless ideas on what you can do. Being a Doctor and not having too much free time, White Glove Weddings helped me develop the wedding ambiance that fit my personality perfectly. Even if I wasn't quite sure what I wanted, she got to know me so well that she knew exactly what ideas to show me that I would love. Her DJ, florist, hair and make-up stylists, cake, and photographer recommendations were amazing - we hired them all - and my spouse and I couldn't have been happier with how everything turned out. I didn't have to worry about one thing the day I got married because White Glove Weddings created an itinerary to keep everyone on schedule and took care of it all. We had dozens of wonderful compliments from our guests about how beautiful and professional the reception looked - which White Glove Weddings designed and set up herself. If you want your wedding to be planned professionally down to every detail with the compassion that you would put into it yourself, then you should hire White Glove Weddings!

Alexandra provided the support and expertise to make our event magical! We knew from the moment we met her that she was the one to help us design our very special day. Thank you Alexandra for everything!!

Shawn Flinders

We used White Glove Weddings for a corporate party event. Alexandra was amazing and handled every detail with zest. This is the first time I've used an event planner after years of doing it all myself and I'll never go back. Alexandra is the planner you are looking for!

Zac Mason

Alexandra Is the most creative and professional wedding planner I’ve ever worked with. She makes it a point to figure out the best resources and works hard to make her clients day flawless

Jenna Jackson

Alexandra is amazing! She wants to make sure every part of your day is perfect, and with her as your coordinator it will be! She was there for all of our consultation appointments with vendors and handled all the communication. The day of went off with out a hitch and she made sure things ran smoothly so everyone could relax and enjoy the day. Alexandra will be there for you every step of the way, I highly recommend!! She thinks of every detail and helps turn your vision into a reality. She is well connected with vendors in the area and will help you find the perfect vendors for what you are looking for. I can’t say enough great things I highly recommend!

Alexandra is very organized and great to work with. She plans everything up to the smallest detail and goes above and beyond to provide that WOW factor for your special day. She makes sure everything is good to go, even checks in with vendors such as myself to make sure everything is done. We definitely recommend her and her company!

When I decided on a destination wedding in the Tri Cities, I knew I would need a coordinator that could not only provided recommendations for the best venues and vendors in the area, but could also make sure that every detail of my special day was taken care of. Alexandra not only met those requirements, but went above and beyond in so many ways. From my very first conversation with Alexandra, she expressed genuine excitement for the vision I had and immediately began offering suggestions for various venues and decor. I loved all of her ideas, and Incorporated them into my wedding. Her fees were standard from what quotes I had acquired, which made it a little easier to stick to that darn budget! I visited the Tri Cities several times before the wedding and Alexandra made sure we made the most of every visit. With all the connections she has in the industry, she not only found the best venues and vendors to meet my needs, but also saved me far more then I spent on her! She also has a ton of DIY ideas to share, which helped save some money too! On my wedding day, Alexandra arrived at the Ceremony/Reception site in the VERY early morning hours to make sure every little detail was in place and that included setting up all of the Reception décor! I can't thank her enough for how everything turned out. It was absolutely PERFECT from beginning to end. Alexandra is a true professional and I would recommend her to anyone!!!

Lena Garza

Wow, this area has been in need of this wonderful concept for a long time! You'll be incredibly impressed with the work that has already been done for you (the BRIDE) in order to simplify your options. Alexandra's high attention to detail and even higher expectations for your special day makes her the perfect fit.

Shannon Glantz

Four months ago I married the love of my life and our day was PERFECTION thanks to Alexandra from White Glove Weddings. From start to finish, she made the entire process not only easy but fun. I cannot stress enough how important it is to hire a wedding planner, and preferably Alexandra, from Day 1! She knows exactly what to worry about and when, what needs to be booked and when, has connections to focus your vendor search, responds within 24 hours always (and usually within the hour), follows up on every detail, has impeccable tastes, and is overall a beautiful person inside and out. She helped bring to life all my design ideas, talked me off the ledge of over-pinteresting, and kept our 18 person Wedding Party on task the day of. Alexandra, I am so thankful for you! Thank you for making our wedding day, and year, everything we dreamed of!

Alexandra knows how to make your wedding vision come to life. She has the experience to give you options to stay within budget while never losing the essence you want to capture on your wedding day. She was easy to contact, always responded promptly and was extremely organized. You couldn't ask for a better person to be there on your wedding day to fix any issues that might come up!!

Bryan Monarch

We’ve really enjoyed working with Alexandra and are always happy to get a phone call to work with another of her clients! Her attention to detail and ability to work with such a wide breadth of people has made it awesome to be a part of her teams! Can’t wait for the next event!

10 out of 5 stars, hands down. Alexandra, owner and the absolute gem behind WGW, went above and beyond to make my wedding day shine. My now-husband was originally against getting a planner or coordinator, and after just one meeting with Alexandra, asked me, "So we're hiring her, right?" before we had even made it back to the car. Alexandra is a true professional in this field and there wasn't a single problem we threw at her that she wasn't able to solve. She has extensive connections with vendors in and surrounding our area, and all of our vendors were as lovely as she is. Even if you're thinking about planning your wedding on your own, talk to her about day-of coordination at a minimum. There is NO WAY my wedding day would have went so smoothly if she hadn't been there. Other 'coordinators' in our area simply don't live up to the services she provides. Alexandra also brought light into other's lives by donating my wedding flowers to a program for older adults to enjoy them. It's extra work for her, but that's the type of person she is. Please talk to her about this as well and pass along your flowers to someone else who could enjoy them! I'm so happy I did. If you're on the fence, set up an appointment, and I can promise she'll wow you just like she did for myself and my husband. Save yourself the time, hassle, and money (YES, she is worth every single penny, and saved us money on the wedding!) and speak to Alexandra.

Shout out to Alexandra for being so friendly and helpful in our event planning. The moment I walked inside the White Glove Weddings Bridal Bar, I was amazed at the place. It was beautifully decorated by Alexandra. You can already tell that she has a good taste. I highly recommend GWG for everyone who dreams of having an amazing event. Truly thankful!!

Codi

White Gloves Wedding knows how to plan your perfect day all the way down to the smallest details! The experience and expertise Alexandra brings to the table is astounding! Her knowledge of the wedding industry, and endless ideas can help create the wedding of anyone’s dreams! She is easy to work with, always professional and truly cares about her clients! I have recommended her to all the brides I know!

Adrienne Sampson

We used White Glove Weddings for a Day Of service for our wedding planning. Alexandra could not have been more on top of every detail in the days leading up to the wedding. We met with her and her assistant 2-3 times before the day. They both made sure that all our T's were crossed and all of our I's were dotted. Alexandra was the main contact for us and our event. She was excellent. We could call her at any time to ask her questions or make sure she was up to date with any changes we may have made. Alexandra went with us on our walk through about two weeks prior to the wedding, came to our house to pick up decorations, and even came to the rehearsal the day before. The day of the wedding I had not a fear. She made sure that everything was done and I had not a worry. She coordinated everything from the time the girls walked down the isle to when certain songs were played. I would definitely recommend White Glove Weddings to anyone planning an event. Alexandra and her team are more than on top of it! They made my wedding day flawless!

I love working with Alexandra! She is prompt, well prepared, and amazing at making sure the people she connects her clients with are the right fit. Alexandra referred one of her clients to me for wedding stationery and kept up with the whole process to ensure that things were running smoothly and that her client was well taken care of! I highly recommend White Glove Weddings for your wedding planning needs! Jordan De Groot Jordan Edens Photography

Always challenging the status quo and changing the way we think about Wedding Planning! The best. Gaurenteed!!

I have personally been a client of WGWBB and have had the privilege to attend 2 of their wedding events. Let me just say that they were nothing short of flawless. They looked like they were something out of a magazine. I loved everything she came up with! She respected the couples input and added her special designer eye to their ideas. The day of the wedding ran so smoothly. Everything, every person, every moment... If you need a coordinator, pick WGWBB with Alexandra because, not only does she do an amazing job, but she does it with a warm heart and is very professional in a friendly way!

Brandon Andersen

White Glove Weddings does a great job of managing all the details and providing the most professional event planning service imaginable. If you have a dream for your event but you're not sure who to trust with your vision, contact White Glove! I highly recommend working with them.

Mindy Sheppick

Alexandra and her team are amazing to work with, for any occasion. The resources available at the Bridal Bar are priceless. I've work with them on many different events and weddings and the detail they go into each event is absolutely top-notch. I highly recommend having a free consultation to see how they can help you with your next event.

If I had to limit my review to 3 words, they would be: Alexandra Is Amazing! If you're planning a wedding, YOU NEED HER. We have not lived here in the Tri-Cities for long, our daughter lives in VA, and her fiancee lives in CA. We had six months to plan the wedding. So.... we needed lots of help and Alexandra was right there guiding us every step of the way. The big day was absolutely MAGICAL. All the details reflected Lauren & Dave's personalities and it was like a dream come true! We were ALL able to thoroughly enjoy the entire event without worrying about a single thing. Even tho Benton County was without power for the whole day leading up to the ceremony -- we never even knew that!!! Alexandra was already in action in the wee hours of the wedding day arranging for generators, porta potties, candles, and who knows what else to make sure that the ceremony & reception would be perfect despite the power outage! When I discovered what happened and how professionally Alexandra handled everything, I told her that she was worth ten times her weight in GOLD. I'm serious. There is no way the day could have been so PERFECT without Alexandra's professionalism, expertise, and attention to detail. 10 STARS! Photo Credits: Alex Lasota Photography

So thankful for Alex! She absolutely saved my wedding day. She became my wedding coordinator with less than 24hrs notice and helped me keep it together. I thought I could do it all on my own, but there’s no way. I don’t know what I would have done without her. She knew to take care of things I would have never thought of. Tri-Cities is so lucky to have WGW Bridal Bar. Wish we had one here in Astoria Oregon! <3

We went to this place after my fiance found it. We were looking for a wedding on a budget since I am just finishing with my college degree and we are trying to keep the cost down. Alexandra told us that she typically does weddings that are above our budget but she was still very friendly and offered suggestions for where we can look and places we could check out and she offered suggestions on places such as spas, dentists, and many other services that are not directly related to weddings but that are still helpful and good resources to have for a wedding. I really appreciated how sincere and nice she was and how much she actually cares about people and what she does!
