Courtney Niegocki

Madison was absolutely amazing to work with! On the day of our wedding, the weather required a change of locations and Madison was so smooth and professional about making the switch seamless. Throughout the process of working with her, she provides thoughtful guidance and has little bonus things along the way that are such a nice touch. We felt so taken care and are absolutely thrilled with how our special day came together thanks to Madison!

Adriana Viramontes

Madison did a wonderful job getting everything ready for our elopement in Alaska. We wanted our ceremony to include our children and she did just that. She had everything ready for us and it all turned out as we wanted it. For our picnic she picked up pizza from the best place in town knowing pizza was the kids' favorite. She even got them each their own cute cups filled with apple juice to toast with us. Everything was so prefect! Recommend Madison 100%

Haley Hughes

Madison did an amazing job with event planning for our three day remote Alaskan retreat. She was extremely prepared and is so talented when it comes to making everything look beautiful. Madison turned our cabins and yurts into magical getaways with bedding, table sets, champagne and cheese boards, guest gifts, flowers and more. She made sure every detail was in place and that all our our guests felt welcome with her warm inviting personality. I have also attended multiple other events including parties, elopements and photography events where Madison always provides above and beyond service. If you are looking for a glacier elopement or any Alaskan event I highly recommend Alaska Wild Hearts Events. 10 out of 10!!!

This review is long overdue. Madison with Alaska Wild Hearts Events is such a professional and was lovely to work with! We eloped in August and our day was so perfect. Madison thinks about all the details and has a great eye for design. She helped make our day incredibly special! <3

Kristen Abt

Madison is so wonderful to work with. She made our day streamlined and chaos free! We booked her a year ago to do our Heli elopement and it was everything we imagined. She made sure to send a detailed questionnaire we filled out as a couple to ensure our day had every detail we wanted. She communicated with us several times via phone and email. We would highly recommend using her as she made our day stress free and enjoyable.

Brad and Noelle-6.29.21 Madison was the absolute best! Being from Florida we took a leap of faith and travelled all the way to Alaska to elope. Madison was our guide through the whole process of getting married. She made it so easy for us to pick our venue, photographer, cake, flowers, food, and had the best choices out there. She made our day stress-free, happy and had everything ready to go. Honestly our day exceeded any thing we could have dreamed of. She added in so many extra little details, and thoughtful things that made the planning and adventure amazing. Thank you for making our dream come true and something that we will remember forever!

Madison at Alaska Wild Heart Events is a true Rockstar. She made eloping in Alaska so easy!! All we had to do was show up and she handled the rest!!! From the helicopter flights, to the beautiful flowers, to the sweethearts table, to even being our ordained minister and marrying us! Everything was so though out and beautiful. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding day. Madison went above and beyond for us. We truly are so grateful to have met her and working with her to plan our special day. If you are thinking about eloping, hire Madison. This Alaska native knows her stuff. She truly is amazing.

We hired Madison as our day-of wedding coordinator for our small wedding in Seward, AK and had a wonderful experience working with her. Madison was able to alleviate a lot of the stress that comes with the month-out & day-of wedding/vendor coordination. She was also very generous with answering questions and providing suggestions the months/year leading up to our wedding despite being hired as a day-of coordinator. The only thing I would change about our experience would be choosing her full coordinating package over the day-of package, and I say that because she is so great at what she does it would have saved me even more headaches having her run the entire show! The day of our wedding she checked in on me numerous times as I was getting ready with my girlfriends which was so thoughtful. Madison went above and beyond to make sure I was feeling good about everything - she brought a great energy to the day. She even stepped up and used our polaroid cameras throughout our reception to capture special moments and ensure our 'polaroid vision' came to life since the guests weren't really utilizing them like we planned. We are very grateful to have worked with Madison!

Rebecca Davis

Through the recommendations of two separate couple friends who have worked with Madison in the past for their wedding/elopement, my husband and I were excited to have the chance to utilize her expertise for our special day. She did not disappointment. Madison created a magical day that was beyond what we had imagined - in a good way! She was able to take our interests and preferences and create an intimate and special wedding tailored to our personalities and taste. Even better, she made the experience easy and stress-free. We thoroughly enjoyed working with her and highly recommend her for any couples that are looking for a special and memorable elopement or small wedding in AK.

Ivy Rylander

Our day was absolutely amazing thanks to Madison! She was so thorough with answering our questions as we prepared and our elopement could not have been better. Every detail was so thoughtful, beautiful and exactly us. She immediately put us at ease and it was such a comfortable and amazing day. We are so grateful to Madison and all of the wonderful vendors she works with!

Bethany Brewer

Madison at Alaska Wild Hearts Events made our big day even more magical than we could have imagined. The day was so effortless, laid back, and fun! The planning process was a breeze and day of events were seamless. If you want to plan an elopement/wedding without having to worry about a thing, Madison is your girl!

Callie Byler

If you aren’t using Alaska Wild Heart Events for your wedding, you are missing out! Madison went above and beyond when it came to planning and organizing our special day. She was so accommodating when it came to all of our requests. Our wedding day was everything we could’ve imagined and more! The flowers, cake, picnic, meat and cheese tray, champagne and ceremony location- EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT! She even brought along her personal Polaroid camera for some FuN photos! Madison is a true gem and we are beyond grateful for her giving us our dream wedding!

Abby Delp

Alaska Wild Hearts Events was the way to go! We were planning a traditional wedding, but the planning and coordinating process just wasn’t enjoyable. We decided to elope instead. Madison and Jacqueline took care of absolutely everything from flowers, to coordinating photog, to getting to/from the glacier. We were able to just show up and truly enjoy the day. I loved being stress free for my big day! I highly recommend a helicopter elopement with Alaska Wild Hearts Events.

Tiffanee Beazer

Madison is such an amazingly talented and hard working entrepreneur. Her attention to detail and communication with clients have always been such a relief to both clients and vendors alike. As a HMUA I work with her often and have never had to worry about a thing. She personalizes every experience to each and every one of her clients and will always go above and beyond. She will also be coordinating my wedding coming up soon and has already started mapping out all the details and never fails to make it an individualized experience even for myself. Absolutely love working with Madison at Alaska Wild Hearts Events and would recommend her to everyone looking for a sense of relief when it comes to the hustle and bustle of wedding shenanigans.

Tyler McIntosh

Madison is absolutely amazing at this! We came to her with roughly a one-month notice, and she was able to turn our elopement into the most unique, unforgettable, and magical experience we could have possibly wanted. She organized everything for us, including introducing us to a phenomenal photographer and a fantastic hairstylist/makeup artist. We had such a perfect experience, and we couldn't have asked for anything better.

Whitley Frank

When imagining what our wedding would look like, there were a lot of logistical questions. Neither of us had ever been to Alaska or planned a wedding so we were nervous about how to make our dream day a reality. Madison put those fears to rest the first time we talked with her. She understood our vision and not only made it a reality, but went above and beyond. Every little detail she added was perfect, her communication with us and between vendors calmed all the nerves I felt and her bubbly personality added to the occasion. Our families still talk about how she just felt like one of the guests. If you want to feel heard and have your wedding be meaningful and effortlessly put together then I suggest you contact Wild Hearts Events immediately. Whether you’re familiar with Alaska or making a trip for the first time, Madison is the person you want organizing your big day, I can’t imagine my wedding without her.

Kasey Rosselli

Madison was an amazing elopement planner and made the entire experience completely effortless for us! If you're looking for the best adventure experience to be married while also not having to worry about ANY of the small details working with Alaska Wild Hearts Events is perfect for you. It was so perfect and we couldn't have asked for more. She even made us a small keepsake shadow box from our mountain top elopement with wildflowers, a few polaroids, a stone and the cork from our champagne toast. ❤ 🚁🌲

Aubrey Reinert

Yesterday was the most magical day of my life! Madison helped bring it all together for me and I will be forever grateful. She introduced me to an amazing photographer, makeup artist/hair stylist, fun videographers, helicopter pilots, catering and she made our special day a super fun adventure for us and our family! I feel like we will be the talk of the family events for a long time!! I cannot put into words how amazing and how much we are happy Madison came into our lives! If anyone is looking to get married elope with Madison! You will not regret it for a second, she is super attentive, she takes care of everything, and she makes your wedding day run so smoothly!! I couldn't believe my dream wedding came to life exactly as I pictured. The keepsake box was such a cute treat, I love her thoughtfulness!

Logan Kebler

Our elopement day couldn't have been more perfect. Madison hit a home run with every detail. The planning process for getting married in a different state was incredibly smooth. We highly recommend booking with Alaska Wild Hearts Events for anyone interested in getting married in Alaska. Communication was excellent and our day was truly perfect!

Mike Short

Madison did a amazing job planning our wedding. She was always clear and transparent regarding the details of our ceremony and coordinating with our photographers. When the big day finally came, everything went perfectly. All we had to do was show up and everything went just as we imagined. The whole process was smooth and simple. Madison took a lot of the stress off our shoulders and delivered great results. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her services!

Brandi Templeton

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Madison! Our wedding day was everything that we had hoped for and it was absolutely beautiful. Madison prepared everything perfectly and she made the entire process so simple and stress free. Any doubts or worries that we had about trying to coordinate a wedding out of state she took away. I absolutely recommend Alaska Wild Hearts Events!

Jennifer Carnes

Madison ensured that every part of our wedding was magical. She made the entire experience stress free. She handled all the details with just a short questionnaire from my husband and I. All of her recommendations were spot on, from venders to things to do around Alaska. I will recommend her to anybody who asks about an elopement wedding. She’s the absolute best!

Elise Johnston

Madison was an amazing day of coordinator. Though I didn't have alot of communication with her before my big day I found out why and it is because she knows her stuff! She had everything taken care of and I didn't have to worry about a thing. On top of that she was very attentative to me and made sure I had everything I needed that day, including a beverage in my hand at all times :P

Claire McLaughlin

My spouse and I LOVED working with Madison and Alaska Wild Hearts Events. Our elopement was the most beautiful day we could have ever imagined, and we strongly recommend AK Wild Hearts Events to any couple considering an elopement. We initially contacted Madison just 5 and a half weeks before we hoped to get married. Within that short amount of time, she coordinated everything from hair and makeup, to flowers, to food and cake, to our helicopter trip to a glacier. I simply specified my preferences on a short form and she took care of everything, taking all of our ideas and desires into account. On the day of our elopement in Alaska, flying conditions were too dangerous for the helicopter, so Madison came up with a beautiful alternative location. Instead of flying to the glacier, we got married at the breathtaking Beluga Point, followed by an intimate picnic at Alyeska and finally warming up with beers indoors at Girdwood Brewing. The back-up plan ended up being so lovely and fun that we barely missed the helicopter, but Madison still made arrangements for us to fly to the glacier later in the week at no additional charge with the photographer, Alexa. We put our wedding clothes back on and ended up with beautiful photos from our actual wedding day, plus additional photos from the glacier trip that we were able to take later in the week. After the elopement, Madison sent us a beautiful wooden box engraved with our names and the date of our elopement containing a set of printed photos tied in the ribbon from my bridal bouquet and a flash drive with all of the amazing images captured by Alexa. Our day was so special, I cannot thank Madison and Alexa enough. If you are even halfway inclined to elope, just do it! And do it in Alaska with AK Wild Hearts Events.

Madison is the best!! She is super easy to work with. We did not have to prepare anything for the wedding day cause she took care of everything! We were very stress-free that all we did was show up. The day before our wedding, since we did not have to worry about the ff day, we just made plans on where to eat and what to try for our whole stay in Alaska! We had so much fun!

Tessa Osborne

Madison was fantastic to work with! She was somehow able to take my mismatched thoughts and inspirations and create a day that was exciting and modern all the while being soft and romantic. All of her vendors are top quality and professional. We felt so comfortable with everyone. I was highly impressed with her recommendations and how easy she made planning a wedding during a global pandemic. For any bride & groom that are feeling hopeless during the pandemic or just wanting to elope in the most gorgeous place on Earth...let Madison make it happen for you!! To Madison, Zack & I cannot thank you enough. You captured everything we dreamed of and was somehow able to put my scattered thoughts into plan. Thank you!!!

Hannah McGuyer

We eloped with Alaska Wild Hearts Events after cancelling our wedding due to COVID-19. What we thought was going to be just making the best of a bad situation ended up being the perfect wedding! Madison was incredible to work with. She was responsive, attentive, and helped us to have a fun and stress free wedding! Her attention to detail from the personalized welcome package we got in the mail to the beautiful picnic table she set up made it all the more special. We couldn't have asked for a better day or a better wedding planner.

Mari Izoteco

Madison was absolutely incredible and such a pleasure to work with! After canceling a wedding, the last thing we wanted to do was was plan a second one, however, Madison made the process fun, easy, and stress-free! Our elopement day was originally scheduled for the second week of July, but then we decided to switch it to an earlier date, and Madison was extremely accommodating and patient with us. Within one week, Madison had organized and coordinated everything from a photographer, to hair + makeup, and even transportation! As someone who always needs to be in control of things, is indecisive and “hard-to-please,” I would say Madison handled everything effortlessly. We were so lucky to have found someone as detail-oriented as her! She made our day one we will never forget, and we cannot thank her enough! We had a wonderful elopement day and there is nothing we would change about this whole experience. For anyone considering an elopement, we strongly recommend Madison and AK Wild Hearts Events! Your day will be everything you imagined and well beyond your wildest dreams!

Elena Petrocci

Madison totally blew every expectation we had completely out of the water. A few months ago we reached out to her and, with very little input from us, she read our minds and provided the most magical, romantic, intimate, beyond-words experience. We booked a helicopter ride to marry on a glacier- worth every single penny and then some. Madison assisted us with a photographer, videographer, hooked us up with flowers and a gorgeous (and delicious) cake. We roasted marshmallows and cheered with hot chocolate literally in a winter wonderland. There was zero stress involved and it truly felt like we showed up to a fairytale made just for us. Not to mention, it was relaxed and Madison’s personality made it feel like she was an old friend of ours! We are not from Alaska, and would recommend this to absolutely anyone. Thank you, Madison, for truly making our wedding dreams come true!

Erik Fountaine

Madison is simply the best! Her elopement service is exactly what we were looking for. She did a fantastic job planning and organizing our special day. We went with the dog sled package, and couldn't be happier with our decision. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect for us. If you're into adventure, I highly recommend Alaska Wild Hearts for the ultimate Alaskan elopement experience.

Kristen Wright

Madison was an absolute DREAM to work with. My fiance and I had changed our wedding plans so many times due to COVID and were about to give up just before we connected with Madison ( 1 week before we planned to get married). She called me back within hours and was able to put together the PERFECT day in less than 6 days - location, hair/makeup, flowers, ceremony, reception, everything! Being a couple from Georgia who had never been to Alaska, she gave us great recommendations and made us feel at ease immediately. She made the experience so easy and stress free. Our elopement is a day we with NEVER forget and we are so happy Madison was a huge part if it. Photography - Leigh Wolfe

Samir Patil

Madison was phenomenal! From start to finish, she was working with my fiancee Brittany to do the initial planning, and white-boarding a general idea of what we were looking for and expected, to hashing out the minute details as we went along. She had great recommendations for photographers that she has worked with the the past as well as bakeries for cake options. And she works well when you throw in a change too! When we decided we didn't really like any of the cake options we were finding, and asked if she'd be able to provide a recommendation for a simple. tasty cheesecake instead, she found a phenomenal one! On the day of the event, she even helped Brittany get her final touches squared away before we got in the helicopter and flew out to Knik Glacier. Even there, she was a non-stop whirlwind - scouting out the best spot for the day, staging a fantastic, intimate picnic, including a surprise bottle of champagne on ice (Literally! 😃) and working with Donna to set up the location for the ceremony so that everything was photo-finish ready to go. Would not hesitate to recommend her and her services to anyone who is thinking about planning a wedding in AK! Thank You Madison!

Casey Neels

Madison was wonderful! I knew we were in great hands from the second I met her. She helps you with every step along the way! She helped with getting a photographer, makeup and hair stylist! You really don't have to worry about a thing - she has it covered. She really is a one stop shop and helps your vison come to life - even with the first dance, picnic, cake and flowers :) Unfortunately, we didn't get a chance to take the helicopter to the glacier due to the weather - We were both bummed about that, as that was originally our vision but we hope to come back to Alaska next year to get the glacier experience we missed out on. We were still able to have a magical day together in another location! I would highly recommend Wild Hearts /Madison to anyone who is looking to elope. She does an amazing job at making your day special!

Marco F

Madison and her team are experts at what they do! If you're looking for a sign, this is it. From the day of inquiry to the end of the event, Madison and her team have been very informative and timely with their responses. It actually started raining on our event but Madison and her team were very creative and accommodating and was able to make some last minute *awesome* changes. Thanks to the entire team of Alaska Wild Hearts Events for making our elopement magical.

Laura Jackson

Madison made our elopement so easy, stress free and fun! She was very patient with me and quick to respond to my long rambling emails and long lists of questions. Her ceremony + picnic locations as well as her vendor recommendations are top notch. She made planning from Tennessee 1000x easier.

Maya Adhikari

Thank you so so SO much to Madison, who came through for my husband and me when we decided to scrap the idea of having a formal, traditional ceremony, and decided to get married on a mountaintop, microwedding-style instead! Her encouragement with our ideas helped us to truly get excited for our wedding day, and her wisdom and experience helped us to fill in the gaps of how to plan a wedding like this that we have never experienced before. At the start of our planning process (pre-Madison haha), I was such an anxious bride, and dreaded the thought of having to coordinate every detail for our wedding day, and was constantly too stressed to actually enjoy being engaged. Once my now-husband and I found Madison though, she was SO GREAT in helping us sort through our thoughts, getting on the phone with me to answer all of my questions and just help alleviate random stress I had. It honestly only took the first phone call like that though before I was able to see that Madison would take care of us, so that I didn't have to worry anymore. Overall, our flowers, food, cake, and everything were just so perfect. Thank you to the whole of Wild Hearts for making our dream day come true. 🥰

Ashley Doyle

Madison was incredible, from adjusting to last minute changes, to organizing everything in less than 2 weeks while in a pandemic she did everything! She was so sweet and patient and truly let us design our dream elopement. If you want a stress free experience definitely hire Madison!!!

Justin Owens

Madison @ Wild Hearts is amazing! She made the wedding of our dreams. Before, during, and after our wedding experience she was there every step of the way to make it perfect. We could not be more pleased with Madison and her team of professional’s !!!!

Desiree Morrow

We can’t say enough good things about Madison and her company. She was extremely personable and friendly during the entire process. We feel like she went above and beyond to make sure we truly had an amazing experience. The set up and execution of the wedding will be a memory we will always cherish. Using her is a slam dunk and we are very thankful we chose her to take the lead on our special day.

Cynthia Mockbee

Madison was hired for day of coordination, our wedding of 22 people was intimate and beautiful. She came to the venue the day before and helped with our rehearsal. The day of the wedding she made sure all vendors, tablescaping, details were put in place. She went above and beyond to make sure we had the most beautiful wedding and an amazing stress free time!

Schonel Foster

I will start with saying Madison is amazing! Five star hands down service ! Our words couldn’t express this enough! We had to change our whole wedding in matter of a couple days! We went from Girdwood to Hatchers our plan B due to Covid 19 new mandates. Even with our Plan B moved a entire wedding we had unexpected crazy weather! But Madison was beyond amazing she moved our entire set up that we were suppose to have at our our wedding site to our reception dinner! It turned out even more beautiful and magical then we expected! Covid 19 changes and crazy unexpected weather changes Madison handled it all gracefully for us and made the day smooth and fun! I highly recommend this amazing gal! Thank you so much for making our dream wedding come true! The Fosters

Katherine Itchue

Madison works with fantastic vendors that made our day very special! She made the process very easy and straightforward.

Joe

Our elopement was beautifully set up. The cake, floral arrangement, photographer and videographer chosen were all absolutely perfect and made the elopement look and flow beautifully. It was absolutely awesome to not have to worry about all of the nitty gritty involved in planning and organizing an elopement or wedding which made it even more enjoyable to show up and have a magical day. The flexibility in finding the location on site for the ceremony and picnic was also very cool as it still allowed us to have input on the big day. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a beautiful elopement. My only complaint is that I wish the picnic lasted a little longer as it felt slightly rushed; however, I do understand why it was quick since there was a timeline for the helicopter ride and whatnot.

B Hopwood

Madison and everyone she surrounds herself with made for a perfect day for not just my husband and I but our whole family! She accommodated every request that I had including adding our families to the elopement package. She was genuine and helpful through the whole process and even a pandemic! I would highly recommend her and elopement package!

Ayla Otto

I can't say enough good things about Madison! She is so amazing at what she does and has a great eye for detail and beautiful design. 10/10 recommend! xx

Giovanna Santillan

best wedding planner! Very easy to communicate with and really listens to make sure you get what you want. We got married in a beautiful location in Girdwood that is exactly what we envisioned for our pictures! I highly recommend!

Alex Marvel

Madison was absolutely great! She helped us through the process so that we didn't have to stress at all. We had an extremely memorable experience that we will never forget.

Normajean Farr

Couldn’t recommend Madison enough for organizing our elopement. We had the best day of our lives and were so comfortable. You can tell she has a passion for what she does.

Jackie Stagg

I was a guest at a wedding Wild Hearts Events coordinated and was blown away by the attention to detail and the passion of the curator, Madison, who was able to make the event special for not only the bride and groom, but all of the guests. It was everything you’d have imagined straight out of a perfectly designed Instagram or Pinterest wedding but the delivery was exceptional, which spoke wonders. I’ve heard stories of events aiming ambitiously to represent things posted online that fall short, are impractical, or make for good photos but the guests are uncomfortable. Of the weddings I’ve attended, this by far was the most magical. There wasn’t a thing that was out of place or distracted from the celebration of love for the couple and they were able to enjoy the ceremony without having to be hands on in any way. The touches were all themed to the couple’s briefs and it was all very fluid, including the transition of the ceremony to the reception, coordinated within the setting sun, was unique and smoothly done within the same space. I was just thoroughly impressed by the cohesion of the whole event.

Reilly Jorgensen

Our day was an absolute dream thanks to Madison! All planned within less than 3 weeks!! It was so well thought out, planned, and my husband and I were able to greatly enjoy our day without any hassle or headache. I wouldn’t trade it for anything!

Arie Young

Could not have asked for a better experience! Madison went above and beyond and paid attention to every tiny detail and made sure our day was perfect!

Erika Tweto

Madison was so amazing! Her work and what she brought to the wedding was exactly what my husband and I wanted. Working with her was the best!

Lisa Perez

Madi has such a great eye & attention to detail! She really does put her heart into every step of the planning process & really knows how to bring a dream idea to life

Lindsey Wise

Madison took care of everything. We didn't have to stress about anything. I would hire her again in a heartbeat!!
