Alana and the LSE team are the dream team! From the start, she worked within our budget to make our dream wedding a reality. With our hectic work schedules, Alana kept us on track and made sure we never fell behind. She’s the perfect balance of sweet and assertive, offering guidance without ever being pushy. Alana worked tirelessly to bring our vision to life and gave thoughtful, helpful advice throughout the process. She even helped us pick out the perfect welcome gifts for our guests and guided us on what’s typically expected at a wedding—helping us make decisions on what to include or leave out. One of the reasons I chose her was for her creativity and keen eye for design. She helped us choose the perfect colors, design scheme, and overall mood, ensuring everything flowed beautifully—from our invites and wedding stationery to the flowers. She was also incredibly organized, handling the administrative side flawlessly so nothing slipped through the cracks. Alana is so sweet and truly an expert—when you work with her, you have nothing to worry about! Many of my friends had less-than-ideal experiences with their wedding planners, but we couldn’t have been happier with Alana. Even my husband, who’s not one to hand out compliments, was impressed! If I ever plan another wedding (fingers crossed I don’t), I’d work with Alana again in a heartbeat. Book her before she’s fully booked—you won’t regret it!
100% recommend to EVERYONE! Alana was our planner for the most magical day at Dover Hall in Richmond and she truly made it all turn out so perfect. I warned her from the beginning that I am sometimes a perfectionist, and she LITERALLY made everything PERFECT; not kidding. She went above and beyond I expected any planner to do. We talked/emailed multiple times and she made sure that my vision of the wedding was what would be shown by all the vendors. She recommended, reached out, coordinated with all the vendors especially on the day off. I didn’t hear from one vendor about the day of the wedding setup because Alana had taken care of all of it from arrival to departure! This alone was a huge stress relief. I got to focus on being in the moment with my husband throughout this process and especially on the wedding day thanks to Alana. She not only took my vision and turned it into a reality, but she is such an amazing and great person, I really loved working with her. I even told my husband after the wedding that it was strange no longer talking to Alana; that’s when you know you have the BEST wedding planner.
I have no idea how people can get married without having Alana by their side. After getting engaged, I had consultations with roughly 5 planners. No one had an offering that aligned with what I wanted. I was looking for a full-service wedding planner (not day/month of) to manage the execution, but who would leave the design/vision to me. After talking to Alana, I knew I found my planner. Not only did she have offerings that cater to the various needs/wants of her clients, but she is just genuinely amazing. Alana is decisive, direct, organized, communicative, kind, and knowledgeable. She made my wedding perfect. Having Alana allowed me to completely relax and have fun because I knew every single thing was taken care of. As someone who is rarely relaxed, that is a major feat. If anything went wrong, it would be news to me three months later. If you want to enjoy planning your wedding, you have to book Lane Stewart.
