Chelsea Kern

Willow and Ivy Events, and more specifically Alex and Chelsea, are a fantastic choice for a Wedding Coordinator/Planner! We found Alex and immediately knew she was the right person for us. We booked her for the Partial Planning package, which included partial design planning as well as month and day of coordination. I am a super Type-A control freak, so I was super worried about letting go of the little bits and pieces, but Alex was easy to trust. She was communicative, professional, and extremely measured. Having her to bounce ideas off of and reign in my weird panicked thoughts was SO amazing. When we got to the day, I was able to completely let go over all the tasks that needed to be done and truly ENJOY myself. She made it seem so easy, but I know she's was all over the place, coordinating, herding my unruly guests, making sure my husband and I were in the right place at the right time. She was a super human! She had Chelsea, one of her team members, with her that day and together they were on top of it! I highly recommend hiring Willow and Ivy Events, I trust them implicitly and I know that everyone on their team is Grade A.

Alex was the key to our wedding day being so beautiful and going so smoothly! She has a fantastic design eye and made our event feel so special. Her suggestions were invaluable as we planned our wedding anniversary party after COVID cancellations. She and her team ensured that all of the details were taken care of throughout the day and that we were able to enjoy every moment. Alex was always ready and willing to help with any detail - and even helped me to negotiate through a custom wedding dress fiasco, going above and beyond expectations of what a wedding planner should do. We are so happy with our decision to use her and would recommend to anyone in search of wedding planning services. Alex - thank you for being such a joy to work with! Best always ❤️

My now husband and I worked with Alex for wedding design, month of and day of wedding coordination. Alex immediately stood out above the rest when we were in the process of finding wedding planning support. Not only is she organized, fun, patient, authentic, and confident in her own expertise, it was evident early on that Alex is someone who is committed to excellence no matter what she takes on. Throughout our wedding planning season, Alex showed up thoughtfully and with the utmost professionalism. On the day of the wedding, Alex ensured everything flowed smoothly - she was seemingly everywhere all at once and gave us full confidence that she had it all under control. More than anything, partnering with Alex gave me a sense of peace and additional capacity heading into the wedding season. Would highly recommend Willow & Ivy Event services to anyone who is looking for flawless execution.

I am so so glad I found Alex and Willow and Ivy Events! Leading up to the wedding, communication with Alex was quick and easy. She is organized and makes sure to ask all the right questions so that no detail is missed. On the day of the wedding she was amazing. Took care of everything and was rolled with the punches! Every time I (the bride) saw her, she had a smile on her face and asked if I needed anything. If anything had gone wrong, I still have no idea! She is fun, organized, thoughtful and just a really good person. Can’t recommend her enough!!

I can confidently say that our wedding would not have gone very smooth at all if it wasn't for Alex. She is incredibly responsive and was able to answer any question we had, and was absolutely vital to our big day's success. She worked really well with all our vendors, and all of our vendors loved working with her as well. She checked in with us all the time to see how planning was going and making sure we weren't missing any details, big or small (and lots of things that we wouldn't have even thought of!). She was willing to have the tough conversations when things got a bit sticky with our venue a couple months before the wedding and smoothed everything over. We cannot give nearly enough praise and thanks to Alex for being there for us during our planning all the way through the big day. I would recommend her to absolutely anyone without hesitation.

Kerry Hancuch

Alex is the best! She made wedding planning stress-free and floored us with how elegant and organized everything was day of. She's fantastic at presenting enough options and the pros and cons of each that you feel informed, without overwhelming you AND is insanely responsive! Cannot recommend her enough!

We worked with Alex for one month for our June 2019 wedding. After interviewing several different day/month-of coordinators, Alex was the easiest decision to make in our wedding planning process. During her month-of service, Alex was easy to work with, consistently responsive to our emails and texts, and left us with a sense of confidence as we finalized our wedding plans. She was friendly and gave her honest advice with questions and concerns that we had. Alex was also great when working with our bridal party and family. She gave precise directions and left everyone feeling prepared for the wedding. It was also wonderful that she handled the decorations for us the week prior to our wedding. This gave my husband and I peace of mind in the final week of planning. On our wedding day, Alex and her team made our wedding perfect. Every little detail was accounted for, and any questions or problems I had were immediately handled by her and her team. She was professional when working with our other vendors, and allowed us to truly enjoy a stress-free wedding day. I highly recommend Alex as a wedding coordinator.

We worked with Alex for 9 months to plan our wedding on July 27, 2019. As a couple planning a wedding across the country, from the East Coast to Seattle, we interviewed quite a few wedding planners we felt like we could fully trust. Upon first speaking with Alex, she gave us a reliable yet approachable vibe with great rates so we decided to work with Willow and Ivy Events. Planning a wedding, especially from afar, is not an easy task but Alex made it really seamless for us. She was super detail oriented and really focused hard on what we wanted while staying within our overall budget. She seemed to have a lot of connections with great vendors in the industry. We loved all our vendors Alex recommended! When I had difficulty finding a makeup artist and had extremely specific requirements, she did not make me feel like a bridezilla and tried her best to accommodate my needs. We would have been 100x more stressed out without Alex helping us plan. We were stress-free during most of our planning process! She was flexible with last minute changes – from bridesmaid leaving to adding last minute speeches. We didn’t even have to worry about our table settings since Alex tied all the ribbons on the utensils for us. The wedding day was perfect, and our parents who are extremely picky praised the wedding and said that everything was perfect, without even one minor flaw. We were able to enjoy the wedding without worrying about schedules and details because Alex and her assistant were there to lead the whole day. We felt like we were attending some amazing party and had a great day 😊 Thank you Alex and Willow and Ivy Events!!

I cannot recommend Alex from Willow & Ivy Events enough. I'm a fellow wedding vendor, and the first time we got the opportunity to work together, Alex was dealt less than ideal circumstances to deliver an incredible event, but she KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK ANYWAY! She was level-headed, personal, extremely kind, and professional the whole day through, and I can't imagine what the day would have been like without her! Do yourself a HUGE FAVOR and just go ahead and book her. An incredible wedding planner is one of the best investments you could possibly make on your wedding day!

Sarah Becker

Highly recommend! I loved working with Alex and team. Communication was always open and easy with her. She is incredibly organized. It was a big help to have her guidance especially when our original venue canceled on us. She was always so calm and reassuring throughout the process. Alex also helped us style our wedding. I had an idea of what I wanted but no idea where to start. She had great suggestions as we were planning and really understood what we wanted. When I walked into the space it was exactly like we had planned and beautiful. The best part of working with her was being able to be in the moment and enjoy our friends and family because we knew we were such good hands.

We are so incredibly grateful that we found Alex with Willow & Ivy. From the beginning, we knew we wanted a partial planner. Wedding planning can be so overwhelming. There is so much that goes into the process and our first meeting with her, she made us feel at ease. She is so approachable and professional. My husband and I have mentioned several times how thankful we’ve found her. When it came to changing my mind several times on the colors, florals and vendors, Alex was so accommodating. She was willing to revise the plans as many times as needed. Everything I envisioned for our wedding, Alex made it happen. She made it stress free by communicating with all the vendors. We even had an unannounced guest and she told us not to worry and that she’d find a seat for them. I can’t recommend her enough.

Emma Cornish

I can't say enough amazing things about Alex and her team!! She helped plan an larger wedding but was also able to scale back a Covid safe wedding. She was thoughtful and thorough! Alex was so attentive and timely with her communication. She goes above and beyond in her planning, and down to the last detail everything was perfect. Willow & Ivy did a fantastic job, and I'm so happy with how our wedding went.

Ashley Christopher

Willow and Ivy Events is incredibly organized and made our wedding go as smoothly as possible. Not only is Alex a great planner, but she has become one of our good friends throughout the process. We truly would not have been able to have had as wonderful of a wedding without Alex and her team at Willow and Ivy Events! One of the biggest decisions in the wedding planning process, especially in Washington DC, is choosing the right planner. I can say 1000% that we did do that and our family and friends are still raving about our wedding nearly three weeks later! Thank you, Willow and Ivy Events for the time of our lives!

Olivia Woodard

Alex was my wedding coordinator and she was absolutely amazing to work with! She responded to my questions within hours (if not minutes), was very professional, and made our wedding day run very smoothly. Our wedding could not have turned out better thanks to Alex! I highly recommend using her for your wedding.

Selecting a planner when you’re already opinionated and have multiple Pinterest boards running, can be overwhelming and stressful :) Letting go of control was easy with Alex, as she demonstrates a confidence and competency that is both settling and inspiring. Out of the gate, Alex worked diligently to level set our expectations with hers, ensuring we worked together for the same goal. While this may seem insignificant, the duration of our time together proved otherwise, with the whole process being more in sync: from communication frequency and style, to timeline, budget, and contingency plans. As I’m sure is the case for most couples, we wanted to a planner who would feel comfortable “managing” many personalities and not get trampled over during the chaos of the big day. Alex stood strong, commanding attention and respect, making sure our needs/wishes were respected and heard. With that said, Alex is willing to lend a different opinion if she thinks it will benefit the couple. Our wedding was not her first Rodeo, and it shows. She anticipates with skilled precision. Did I mention she’s cute as a button? We loved working with Alex, and know you will too! Great value for quality expertise!

As the mother of the groom, I cannot give strong enough accolades for all Alex and Lizzy did to make my son and his bride’s day the “best day ever.” The decision to reach out to this team was one of the smartest judgement calls they made. With all the Covid rules and changes, Alex and Lizzie did a remarkable job of planning a perfect elopement dinner. Because we were hosting from our accommodations, Lizzy had to be a little nervous about a set up that she couldn't' see until 48 hours prior to the wedding! But she was calm and so open to our thoughts, suggestions and concerns. When we walked into the house after the ceremony, the rooms were absolutely magical! We were so pleased. Their attention to details for the tables, chairs, flowers, candles and especially the Chef, who made an amazing dinner, were all magnificent. This elopement may have taken place during COVID, but throughout the evening, we were all able to forget about that and enjoy the atmosphere created so expertly by Alex and Lizzy at Willow and Ivy.

Alex is so easy and fun to work with. She's incredibly organized, which as a wedding photographer I love because it makes my job so much easier. She has a clear vision of what she wants and gets things done without being mean or rude (hard time find in this industry). I highly recommend using Willow and Ivy Events for your event coordinator! You wont be disappointed.

Katie Ross

I cannot say enough good things about Alex with Willow and Ivy events!! We were a couple living in Texas and wanting to get married in Washington. We found Willow and Ivy Events online and once we spoke on the phone things just seemed to click! Alex is the reason our wedding was absolutely perfect! She was friendly, outgoing, and responsive to all of our questions, concerns and ideas! She gave great advice on where we could save money, items that we could splurge on. If I can give any advice to future brides it would be hire Willow and Ivy Events!!

Molly Thonssen

Alex and her team go ABOVE and beyond when it comes to helping you plan your big day. Alex has become a dear friend of mine over the last couple years and I couldn't have imagined doing my wedding without her. My husband and I can't thank her and the team enough for making all our dreams a reality and putting me at as much ease as a bride can get ;) Looking forward to watching them kill it with other weddings in the future!

If you're looking for a sign to hire Alex as your event planner this is it! I worked with Alex + her team this last Saturday at the UW Center for Horticulture and I couldn't get on here quick enough to send her all of the praises! Here are just a few of the many reasons you should give her all your money for planning: - She is FAST at responding to emails and texts. In a busy world and a saturated market you want someone who is going to get back to you quickly and she sincerely does. You're not just her priority the day of the wedding or event but the months leading up as well. - She is quite literally your ride or die come wedding day. If you want someone who is going to have you, and your families best interest in mind when things get a little wild or run a little behind she is your person. I witnessed her in action making what needed to happen exactly when it needed to happen. She takes initiative and I applaud her. - From a vendors perspective she's a saint. She lined our timelines up perfectly and left us a little additional time. Most photographers are constantly rushed through photos; she allowed us for AMPLE time. Alex made my day better + easier which 100% allowed me to focus on our clients experience and gave me the time and flow I needed to make rad art. Can I get a hallelujah? Come dinner time she made sure we were fed when the wedding party ate so we could get back to work quickly. She provided us with a lovely candle lit table in a quiet area where we could see everything happening and so we could enjoy dinner + get back to work on the toasts and reception quickly. There are many many more reasons why Alex and her team rock at their job but I'll end it with this. If you're looking for someone who is straight **** D E D I C A T E D **** to making your event or wedding exactly how you want it, Alex will bring your vision to life and make it go smooth as freaking butter baby! Do yourself, your family and your vendors all a favor and let her take the rein. You will be taken care of in the best of ways. -Sara

We absolutely loved working with Alex and Chelsea for our big day. We hired them as month of coordinators and yes, they really do everything and more! The day went on without a hitch and we were over the moon! They are organized, responsible, respectful, and AMAZING people. We are so grateful they joined us for our big day and made all our dreams come true!!!

Amber Hayes

Alex is such a positive light in this industry. Her infectious enthusiasm, willingness to chat and bounce ideas around and elegant but modern style really set her apart. Would recommend her to anyone!

Nancy Stuart

Super sweet, fun, creative, and VERY organized—the aspect of a good planner that I appreciate most. Would recommend her for your wedding or event in a heartbeat!
