The best decision of our wedding planning!

Choosing to work with Alison/AnneFinley Weddings was single handedly the best decision of our entire wedding planning process.

Alison went above and beyond in every possible way. She was always readily available by text, phone, email, and even in-person to iron out more complex planning issues. She really was my second brain (as she called it!) to bounce ideas off of, help make important decisions, and step in when I was too overwhelmed. I really appreciated that on top of timelines, venue plans, rental coordination, etc., her services also included a thorough on-site venue walk-through to map everything out, as well as a processional rehearsal and decor set up and styling on the day. And the vendor takeover a few weeks before the wedding was a godsend!

On the day of, Alison would always be there with water, food, shade or anything else we (didn't even know) we needed, ensured vendors and guests were in the right places at the right times, and worked tirelessly behind the scenes for the event to run smoothly.

At all times she was professional, respectful, kind, incredibly reassuring, and an absolute MVP. 100% recommended! We can't thank you enough, Alison, truly couldn't have done it without you!

Flawless Coordination and a Perfect Wedding Day Thanks to Alison

We cannot thank Alison enough for her incredible work as our day-of coordinator for our wedding ceremony. From the very beginning, Alison demonstrated her professionalism, organization, and calm demeanour, which made our ceremony completely stress-free. She managed every detail flawlessly, allowing us to focus on enjoying the moment with our loved ones. Extra points for fluffing the train of my dress and veil before walking down the aisle!

If you're looking for someone who will take the pressure off and ensure your wedding day runs without a hitch, Alison is the coordinator you want by your side. We are so grateful for her and highly recommend her services! Really don’t know what we would’ve done without her!!!

Best Decision of Our Wedding

AnneFinley Weddings was sincerely one of the best decisions we made regarding our wedding day! We hired Alison for day-of coordination, and from our first meeting her suggestions for timelines and overall confidence left us feeling in very good hands - a feeling that was only solidified in the time leading up to, and on, the big day. Thanks to Alison, our wedding not only went off smoothly and perfectly, but when delays occurred with other vendors, her reassurance and confidence left us remaining stress-free. Thanks to her, our vision for our wedding, including our DIY components and more unique setups, was executed flawlessly and without stress. It is because of her we were able to enjoy our wedding to the fullest extent!

Alison was the reason our wedding ran perfectly!

Hiring Alison as our wedding coordinator was, without a doubt, the best decision we made. From our first meeting, my fiancée and I walked away with a sense of peace, thanks to the insightful questions Alison asked and the confident way she handles events. This reassurance carried through to our wedding day, where Alison was always three steps ahead, meticulously following our event plan while skillfully adapting to challenges like rain, schedule changes, and other inevitable surprises. We highly recommend her services!

Don’t hesitate!!!

Alison was arguably the best money spent towards our wedding. I can’t even imagine having to handle everything she did for us on our big day but more importantly leading up to it. She’s very organized, detail oriented, agreeable, kind and prepared.

The Wedding Genie 🧞‍♀️

Alison is amazing. Through our entire wedding process she was ALWAYS available! She helped us through every single obstacle! Hire the wedding planner y’all. Planning a wedding is super stressful, and having someone there who does this for a living will allow you to just enjoy your day! She planned everything down to every single tiny detail for my now husband and I. Hire the wedding planner! And hire Alison! She is everything!

Small wedding venue

We did business with AnneFinleyWeddings for our small wedding reception at Brasserie 701, Montreal. She immediately knew what I wanted in terms of atmosphere and decor. We had a small glazed room at the back of the restaurant and the decor was just perfect. I recommend AnneFinleyWeddings without a doubt.
