Avie Prince Events

I can't say enough about Ameerah Saine and her team at Avie Prince Events! I found her after I was looking for a day-of planner. The price she gave me for full planning was very competitive with a day-of planner so I said "why not?" She met with me at a local Starbucks in my neighborhood (which was already a wonderful first impression! What vendors do you know drive out to meet you?) We talked about my style of wedding, size, likes/dislikes, priorities and budget. I then did something I NEVER do. I signed a contract at our first meeting. She really took the reins on my wedding. I'm a young professional who did not have a whole lot of time to dedicate to wedding planning... but her response? "No problem!" Her communication was amazing! She allowed me to text, email, call, ANYTHING and it was unlimited! If there was anything I wanted to look more into, she was on it. This list is by NO means all inclusive, but here's just a little taste of what you'll get from Ameerah:

1) Vendor meetings - she set up every vendor meeting. I can't tell you how many cake places, invitation/print vendors, transportations vendors, photography/videography vendors we talked to! Not to mention, she knows vendors! Don't underestimate that, because when vendors know each other they want to keep up their name and those business relationships. (EVERY vendor she recommended that we used was top notch and are getting 5 star reviews as well!)
2) Invitations - she will mail them out, keep up with your RSVPs, etc. She even PRINTED my rehearsal invites!
3) Budget - She's SO budget conscious. She would go out of her way to go shop bargain bins for the little things that to me didn't matter so that we could put funds on the details I wanted most. She also worked with vendors to keep them in line and honest. She worked to get us the best prices and keep vendors in line with their contracts (so we didn't have to!)
4) Venue coordination - she met with my venue countless times for various reasons. How will the room layout be, what chairs will look best, where will decor be set up.
5) The Details - my wedding was very DIY. But to be honest, it was more Do-it-Ameerah :) She printed and cut our programs and did a lot of our decor. Besides the general comments from the guests regarding the service Avie Prince Events provided during the wedding, the next big comment was how there was not a detail missed or out of place!
6) The Big Day - So the first way of measuring your planner is the preparation and planning of your day. But the other part (and probably the most important) is execution! Ameerah and her team prepared itineraries for the wedding party and the vendors. Everyone knew where they were suppose to be and when so that when it come to our day, my husband and I could just enjoy! They also were just so personable and hospitable. We got married in May (right when it's starting to get VERY hot). We were taking pictures outside and what was her team doing? Grabbing pitchers of water from the restaurant and pouring us glasses of water to keep us cool and comfortable. During the reception, everyone knew when it was time for dances and speeches because someone from her team would come and tap them on the shoulder when it was their turn. The other big compliment we got from our day was that our reception didn't drag and her team really kept it interesting and moving along!

Again, I could go on and on and on, but the bottom line is this company is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. If you have any questions I have no problem answering from my experience when using Avie Prince Events. Thanks again for everything ladies!!
