    Ali is a very special person and one of a kind! She is kind, diligent, hilarious and someone that you can count on. From our initial phone call to the day of our wedding (November 12, 2016) she made this process so enjoyable. One thing that stuck out to me was when she said "I like working with nice people." I found that comment to be comforting throughout the entire process and with that she introduced me to vendors that were full of life, professional, and that could keep up with my extreme decisiveness. ...

    I highly recommend hiring Ali of Engaging Events if you want a picture perfect wedding.After interviewing countless planners, I instantly knew after meeting Ali she was “the one” Just as important as marrying the perfect man,is choosing that perfect planner to make all your dreams come true.Her energy, personality and over all demurer made me confident that she was my planner. Being a completed control freak (& a little compulsive)I was concerned that no one would be able to keep up, or make me happy. Ali got my vision. ...

    We hired Ali to be the "day of" planner for our daughter's wedding at the Museum of Science and Industry. I had done all the planning and just wanted someone to "have my back" wedding day. What more can I say - Ali had my back! I consider that a high compliment. We were worry free on the wedding day because Ali took care of everything. One issue - Ali can be hard to reach as she does many event out-of-town.

    Ali was awesome! Our wedding was amazing and we couldn't have done it without her. She kept me calm throughout the process and was so much fun to work with.

    We had interviewed a few planners before we chose Ali - she was the one we clicked with the most and I knew her upbeat personality would be just what we needed. Her vendor recommendations were fantastic - I would have never found my perfect florist and invitation designer without her. ...
