Bridal Bestie is the BEST!
My husband and I hired Alliyah for month-of and day-of wedding coordination, and we are SO GLAD we did! It was truly worth the investment! Alliyah was on top of everything from start to finish, and it was incredible not having to worry about a thing on our wedding day. She was professional, communicative, organized, and absolutely wonderful to work with. We ran into a few hiccups with our venue just a few weeks before the wedding, and Alliyah was our lifesaver! She jumped in, helped navigate everything, and gave us so much peace of mind during what could have been a very stressful time. We could always count on her and knew she would do everything she could to bring our vision to life. On our actual wedding day, everything went so smoothly because of her. She handled all the little details behind the scenes so we could truly be present and enjoy every moment. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect and truly the best day of our lives! We are so grateful we had Alliyah by our side and cannot recommend her enough!

100/10 experience!!
Alliyah was fantastic! We hired The Bridal Bestie for day of/month of coordination at Bohemia Overlook, and it is one of the best decisions I made! As soon as we met on a video chat and at the walkthrough, I felt immediately more calm about the wedding process. I'm a big planner, but with Alliyah, I could trust her to bring the vision to life and she truly did! We even had a huge storm hit the venue about 2 hours before the ceremony and she handled all the decor and details that were outside, moving locations for the cocktail hour, and even coordinating with all the vendors about adjusting the timeline. You wouldn't even know that anything happened. Thank you so much! -Johanna & Trace

Look No Further, You Found The Bestie
Simply stated: hire The Bridal Bestie. Alliyah's diligence, compassion, creativity, professionalism, and expertise allowed us the privilege of feeling fully present on our wedding day, immersed in emotion and joy rather than burdened by logistics or stress. There wasn't a single detail too small for Alliyah to manage. It takes a lot of skill to make an event look effortless, but that's the type of high-quality effort and performance that comes standard when you book with Alliyah and her team. In the months leading up to our wedding, she provided guidance, support, and humor while solving every sticky situation that comes with wedding planning. I lost my job during the wedding planning process and her support really helped us feel confident with our wedding plans and reinvigorate our excitement even though I faced such a huge personal setback. We couldn't be happier that we hired The Bridal Bestie, she really made our wedding dreams a reality.

Worth every penny
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!

Bridal Bestie Review
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.
