I notice every little detail and Aletha did an amazing job taking care of all of them. The day after the wedding my new husband and I both said that everything was either exactly how we expected it, or better!
I had a lot of ideas but no clue about how to carry them out, Aletha was able to point me in the right direction. She was great at recommending the vendors she thought would work best for me, this was so helpful in controlling the confusion and stress of decision making. I can’t imagine how the day would have turned out without her, I know it would have been a million times more stressful and not nearly as beautiful.
I was planning my wedding from out of town and contacted Aletha primarily by e-mail. She was great at responding quickly. I loved her honest responses, I could ask her if ideas were good, bad, or tacky and she’d let me know. She was also great at making time available for me when I was in town.
Aletha did an amazing job and I’d recommend her to everyone planning a wedding!

When my mom suggested we consider a wedding planner I thought "Why do we need that? I know how to plan something and want to be invovled." To put my mothers mind at ease, I agreed to meet with a few. After meeting and hearing about Aletha, I could tell it was the perfect fit. She offered a consulting package as well as dayof coordination - the best of both worlds!
I was able, with the help of my mom, to plan the wedding of my dreams. Aletha, Kate, and team were always available to answer questions and give advice. I would never have predicted I'd be so calm the day of my wedding, but with the help of Pearls Events and of course, knowing my groom was the one for me, put me at extreme ease all day long. My parents, family members, and friends were all able to enjoy the day and not have to worry about a thing because Pearls Events was there to handle everything!

It has been over a month since my wedding, and I still get compliments on it every day! Pearls Events must be given all of the credit for directing me to the best vendors, designing the most gorgeous event, and allowing me to be stress-free on my wedding day.
Aletha and her team took care of all the details so I was able to be in the moment and truly enjoy my wedding day rather than worrying about centerpiece placement and napkin folding.
Without their expertise and advice, I would have ended up with a very expensive disaster rather than the most AMAZING day ever!
From the start of my planning process to the very end, Aletha was there to answer my questions, bounce ideas off of, attend appointments with me, and guide me through all the crises that inevitably came up. I cannot thank Pearls Events enough for all of their hard work and dedication. Hiring them for event planning was the best decision I made (besides saying yes to Don!)

While I first cringed when Aaron suggested we hire a planner to ease my already busy schedule and overspent budget, I am here to tell you that I would pay for Aletha all over again! We actually started out just hiring Pearls Events as our Day of Coordinator, but soon realized the full value this team brings to the table. The best feeling I had was at 3pm the day before my wedding... I showed up at Aletha's house, dropped off all the precious and important items that we'd be using the next day and I remember driving away thinking "wow, that's it - I'm done and Aletha will make sure everything else goes as plans." My wedding day was so unbelievably stress-free as I could count on Aletha and team to do any and all of the last minute things that popped up and to make sure that everything stayed on time and according to plan. It was also really nice for our parents as they didn't have to run around making sure things were getting done - they were actually able to enjoy the day too.
Big value areas for me: helped me interview vendors, which kept me focused and provided an objective opinion; was the only other person besides me that knew exactly how everything was supposed to go (a simple DOC is not able to provide this ... need to have someone along for the ride the whole ride, not just the last mile); because she understood our vision, she was able to make game day decisions without having to bother me; sanity check - we reviewed budgets, timelines, assumptions, etc. I completely trusted her and knew that she would do a great job - and she did!

I am so happy we booked Aletha from Pearls Events. We were on a budget so were hesitant to have this service. Aletha saved us so much money! In addition to helping us select our vendors, coordinate the rehearsal, set up the decor and table settings on the day-of, help me with my dress throughout the day, communicate with all the vendors, coordinate the day of events, she poured almost 100 glasses of champagne, and cut over 100 slices of cake.
I didn't know how much work it was to pull off a wedding and thanks to Aletha I still don't! It is amazing just how fast the day goes by; I was so thankful for Aletha because she helped me make most of the day. Because she knows weddings in and out, she would say, "This is something I wish I would have done on my wedding day." This insight was invaluable.
In addition, it was so awesome to have someone else watch the clock making sure the day's events happened. With Aletha at Pearls Events, I was able to be the bride and only the bride!

I am not sure what wonderful quality of Aletha's to begin
with. I firmly believe that Aletha and her assistant, Tara, were a major reason our wedding was absolutely perfect! Aletha really listened to our worries about the wedding, and kept a sharp eye out for those occurrences during the wedding. She was also great at communicating. I emailed her many times with wedding questions, and she would respond quickly and provide wonderful, informative answers. Aletha has a wonderful and commanding personality, which is one of the reasons we hired her. We knew she would not be afraid to be slightly bossy to make sure our day was perfect! Additionally, my mother adored her, and Aletha was part of the reason my mother didn't cry with joy the entire night.
If we ever have a vow renewal, we will gladly hire Aletha again to coordinate. She is very talented at her job, and we really cannot thank her enough.

We hired Aletha of Pearls Events to serve as our day of coordinator; and I really wish we would have hired her to provide even more services at our wedding, she was truly an outstanding vendor. Although our wedding day went very smoothly, she and her interns were invaluable sets of hands throughout the day. They took care of details (small and large) I couldn't have planned for, anticipated my needs in ways only experienced wedding professionals could, and worked seamlessly with my other vendors to ensure the day went as planned. All of this was done with professionalism and cheerfulness that amazed me, my family, and our guests.
Although initially hesitant about needing a coordinator, it was one of the best decisions we made in the planning process. Having someone with you to make sure you can enjoy your wedding day to the fullest extent is a gift every bride should give herself!

Aletha takes pride in her work and is truly a shining star within the industry - who has quickly made a name for herself! She loves what she does and that is evident throughout her work.
Pearls Events was one of the first few vendors that we booked, and it was a wise decision. Having Aletha as our DOC allowed me to truly enjoy every little moment of my day. Surprisingly, I was extremely calm, maybe even too calm and I attribute a lot of that to Aletha. We had a situation arise during our wedding day that I was not even aware happened. Aletha was so on top of things, that she had it resolved before it was even brought to our attention.
Hiring Aletha was a win-win situation, not only did we have a fabulous DOC but I now feel as if I have made a new friend as well! I am excited to watch Pearls Events thrive and prosper, and I am honored to have been a part of the growth!

Looking back on my wedding day I could not imagine it without Aletha and Alison from Pearls Events being there. I was able to enjoy the day, my friends, my family, my husband, and myself! It was amazing.
I had so many people telling me how super sweet Pearls Events were and how accommodating they had been during the day. If anything went wrong I sure didn't know a thing about it, and that is just the way I wanted it. I've heard from so many people that they just didn't get to really enjoy their wedding day as they were stressed out and worried about all the little things...not my husband and I, we loved every minute of it and know that it wouldn't have been that way with Pearls Events there watching over everything.
I would recommend Aletha to anyone - she is amazing in so many ways and really makes your day special.
Alicia & Troy | 7.11.08
When we arrived at our reception, we gasped at the breathtaking setting Aletha had created. She put all of her energy and creativity into making our day go smoothly, and everything looked stunning! We were able to enjoy our friends and family and not worry about any of the details. Aletha is organized, friendly, and knowledgeable.
Our day would not have been the same without her, and we’re so happy we had her there to coordinate the day’s activities!
Becky & Matt | 5.24.08
Aletha is organized,
detail-oriented, stylish, and a total sweetheart. We
didn't have to worry about a single thing on our wedding
day because we knew that Aletha had it all under control.
Many of our other vendors commented on how easy Pearls
Events was to work with. The best part about Aletha?
She understands what twenty-somethings want out of their
wedding day because she IS one! We'd hire her again
in a heartbeat and recommend her to anyone.
