Be a guest at your own wedding!

I could go on for PAGES about how wonderful Above and Beyond Events LI is. Ryan, the owner, is nothing short of amazing. She is courteous, professional, and really understands the needs and wants of her clients. I started working with Ryan after I saw her own amazing wedding and the details that she incorporated into her special day. I immediately contacted her about creating an aisle runner. After a QUICK response (she is unbelievably responsive on email), I had mock-up designs for a monogram, fabric swatches in different colors mailed to my address, and an email asking for the next step in the process. This was without even giving her a dime. The amount of time Ryan spends in perfecting a desired look or design in unmatched for the price she gives - which is incredibly reasonable. After receiving my aisle runner, I was SO blown away by the quality and design, that I had Ryan design pretty much every other paper detail for the wedding - menus, table numbers, donation cards, programs, and other miscellaneous details. Everything was done on quality paper, and the look was EXACTLY what I wanted. I was so thrilled with everything and received numerous comments on everything Ryan created. Just when I thought I was finished using Ryan's services she casually asked whether or not I would be interested in using a day-of-coordinator for the wedding. While I had originally thought about hiring one months prior to meeting Ryan, I had MANY failed attempts at securing someone reliable. Other coordinators I previously contacted either gave me false information, could not keep my information straight (one didn't remember which reception hall I had chosen after multiple back-and-forth emails), or were over priced for the services given. While Ryan was not available on my wedding date, she put me in touch with her other partner, Leane. At first I was hesitant as I hadn't worked with Leane. However, at our first sit-down meeting (which Ryan also attended - a totally unnecessary, but wonderful testament to how dedicated/concerned Ryan is with her clients), I felt immediately at ease. Leane was also professional and friendly. She was dedicated to making my day a success from the moment I met her. I decided to book her on the spot after our hour long meeting. I knew that Leane would be nothing short of amazing on the day-of. The day of the wedding went unbelievably smoothly. Leane was a DREAM. She did EVERYTHING - and I mean EVERYTHING - including attending to my mother (driving her to the wedding and later driving 15 minutes to the hotel to retrieve a tip envelope that my mother left behind in her luggage!), getting a stain out of my bridesmaid's dress, keeping me calm the entire day of, and solving NUMEROUS little bumps along the way. Without her, the day would have been MUCH more stressful. I'm SO thankful that we decided to book with her. She was with me from the beginning of the day, until the very last thing was packed into the car at the end of the night. She also took the time to buy Josh and I flowers and left them in the hotel room for us to find on our arrival. The small touches that mean so much. I am incredibly grateful for her services.
