Hired on Thumbtack

Allana and her team were the BEST money I spent while planning my wedding. Full stop. I hired Allana almost 18 months before my wedding as a month-of coordinator. She was the first vendor I hired and was absolutely essential throughout the entire process. She provided so many helpful hints, suggestions, recommendations, planning tools, and consistently went above and beyond to make sure that we were on track (and most importantly on budget). She helped me choose vendors, negotiate contracts, execute my decor visions, coordinate my florals, and gave feedback on all my crazy ideas. She checked in on me emotionally and kept me calm through all kinds of wedding nonsense. As someone who works in events, it would have been too easy for me to become a total bridezilla and obsess over every detail, but with Allana, I was able to hand over the event management and completely enjoy my wedding. She is also a genuinely delightful person who clearly loves what she does. Stop reading reviews and just hire her already. *copied to multiple review sites*

Details: Wedding ceremony • Wedding reception • Partial planning (help in select areas) • Vendor coordination (contracts, payments, etc.) • Wedding design (color palette, "look and feel") • Vendor selection • Day-of wedding coordination • Decor rentals • 51 - 100 guests • No specific theme • $1,400 - $1,600 • Phone or internet (no in-person meeting) • The wedding planner travels to me • I travel to the wedding planner

I absolutely loved working with Allana of City Chic Events. She was kind, fun, thoughtful and really helped me out so much with my wedding. I got to meet with her more times than I was expecting before the wedding, and it was essential to remind me of things i wouldn't have thought of, and also to quell my anxieties. She was comforting during a mini-breakdown when I was overwhelmed by life, work, wedding... At the wedding, she helped immensely with coordinating all of the vendors, questions, decor set up and helping me with anything I needed. She helped fix my hair when it was out of place from the windy day, helped with my veil, getting a few stains out of the hem of my dress, etc etc. She had a HUGE emergency kit (I'm talking your dad's fishing box but 10 times as big) and left it open for wedding party/other guests to grab what they might need (hair spray, repair kits, you name it). She was definitely worth every penny and honestly deserved more. Hire her! You won't regret it. If you're wondering if you should have a coordinator, you should. It truly is necessary the day of, since the venue contact person is there for the venue more than you, your maid of honor/best man/parents shouldn't have to be the go-to person for all the little things, and she will help you with all the nitty gritty you don't even think of but things that are important!

Details: Wedding rehearsal • Wedding ceremony • Wedding reception • 0 - 1 months in advance (includes day-of coordination) • 101 - 150 guests • No specific theme • Phone or internet (no in-person meeting) • The wedding planner travels to me

Allana was our 30 day wedding planner and overall she did an excellent job. We had a lot of vendors for our big day and Allana made sure to keep everything in line in terms of communication and coordination; We didnt have to do much at all. During our initial meetings she quickly understood what we were looking for and provided great suggestions and feedback. It wasnt long before she became our wedding voice of reason and we wanted her to be a part of everything, down to the tasting. Our wedding day turned out perfectly and she was a big part of that. She's been a big part of our lives for the last couple months and it feels odd that we wont be speaking to her every week. She was pleasant, professional and a joy to work with. I'd definitely recommend City Chic for any wedding planning services!

Details: 101 - 150 guests • Videographer

Allana was our day of coordinator and did our flowers. She did an amazing job from recommending vendors to making the whole day run smoothly. We didn't have to worry about anything on the day because we knew she had it handled. She even noticed that we had overpaid one of our vendors and got us a refund.

Details: 50 guests or fewer • DJ • Makeup artist / hair stylist • Venue

City Chic Events was such an incredible pleasure to work with! Allana organized bouquets, boutonnières, corsages, church decor, cake flowers, and centerpieces for the wedding, and all of it was incredibly beautiful! From the beginning, she was incredibly receptive to my vision for flowers, and offered suggestions to make everything fit within our budget. From reusing bouquets as centerpieces to reusing aisle decor as sweetheart table decor, she thought of everything to make our wedding more sustainable, and therefore more affordable! She also assisted in building out a rough timeline of the day for me, and even came prepared with a potential layout for the decor in the reception hall. Allana is incredibly professional, and I would recommend her to any bride looking for a supportive, easygoing vendor to help do their flowers.

Details: Ceremony • Reception • Bridal bouquets • Bridesmaid bouquets • Boutonnieres • Corsages • 16 - 20 members • Sweetheart table flowers • Cake table decor • Aisle decorations • Altar arrangements • Peonies • Hydrangeas • Baby's breath • Eucalyptus • Ranunculus • Roses • 201 - 300 guests • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.
