Audrey K. Sent on 04/11/2023Alex and her team are incredible!!!
Alex is a God send! We had our wedding at the Waldorf Astoria in DC & our rehearsal dinner at The Hay Adams hotel. We are from Oklahoma so planning a wedding out of town for 200 people would not have been possible without Alex and her team! We interviewed several planners but Alex stood out to us from the beginning. I remember her saying to us when we interviewed her that “[her] husband says this is bad marketing but, you should choose a planner who you fit best with because you will be communicating with them a lot!” And, lucky for us, it was her! She truly wants her couples to be happy!! We hired her for full wedding planning. She helped scout locations, negotiated contracts (which is tough!!), designed each and every detail of the weekend, put us in contact with the BEST vendors, and sooo much more. She is extremely meticulous and every detail has so much thought poured into it. She had our wedding weekend timeline down to the minute. She is crazy organized, professional, quick to respond, and makes you feel like the only couple she’s working with! She is extremely kind and did all of the “dirty work” for us. She helped us stay budget conscious. I frequently asked for her opinions because I knew I could trust her. She ALWAYS gave us her honest opinion!! I can’t recommend her enough! I consider her a friend now and even most of the vendors that we used through her, too. Her work is impeccable and she hit our vision perfectly. -

Becca F. Sent on 01/17/2023Hiring ANE was the best decision of my wedding!
I cannot say enough positive things about my experience with ANE! I worked with Katy and one assistant for month-of coordination for my wedding. I am an extremely type-A and stressed out bride, but from the moment that we retained ANE, I felt so much more at ease. Before our contract period even began, Katy was helpful in providing a few vendor recommendations. She was timely and thorough in all of her communications, and asked all of the questions that I wouldn't have thought about. I seriously did not have to tell her any detail twice—she kept everything organized and on track. She wrangled vendors who were less communicative or otherwise difficult and truly "went to bat" for me with all of my vendors and creative team. On my wedding day, Katy made it so that I actually felt like my husband, our parents, and I were the guests of honor and not stressed out hosts. Every detail, from personal decor items to timeline idiosyncracies was perfect because of Katy's attention to detail, patience, and execution. She even went so far as to curl my hair in the moments before my ceremony because it had fallen due to humidity. I truly would have paid double what I did for Katy's level of competence and her hard work in going above and beyond on my wedding day. Katy / ANE are the best and I would recommend her to everyone I know!! -

We used Alex as our month-of coordinator for our wedding and she was one of the best decisions we made. She went above and beyond her duty as a month-of coordinator but helping me and answering questions throughout the year before the wedding. Alex is such a professional and an expert of her field. I had zero extra stress knowing that I had Alex on my team because she makes you feel very comfortable and taken care of. I knew I had nothing to worry about because she had everything under control. I really could not recommend Alex enough! -

Alex Nesterak was an amazing wedding planner. She was organized and kept us on track. Most importantly, she thought about all of the small but important details we never would have thought of ourselves. She also worked closely with all of our other vendors to make sure nothing slipped through the cracks. In the weeks leading up to the wedding and on the actual wedding day she was was never stressed and had such a calming presence and great vibe. -

Alex was an amazing month-of coordinator - truly spectacular. Alex ended up working with us on two separate days since we had a ceremony and a postponed reception due to COVID. She was extremely understanding and accommodating when we made that switch and split the total hours of her contract over two days without any addition cost. We planned our own wedding, but having Alex made everything so smooth. About 60 days before the wedding, she plugged in to help us with a walk through, where she was extremely helpful in advocating for our interests and thinking of little details we would have NEVER thought of. She then helped us draw up a decor list and day-of-timeline - both of which we would have really had no idea how to do. She was also able to provide little decor odds and ends like an easel stand and holders for our table numbers. She helped us with to-do lists, which really helped put our mind at ease that nothing was slipping through the cracks. Everything Alex did before the wedding was amazing, but the best part was on the wedding day. It seemed that she was absolutely everywhere. We did so much planning before the wedding, but were able to 100% hand over the reins to her for the big day so that we could just enjoy it. That was the biggest help because there really is so much to keep track of. She picked up the decor items that we had purchased, made sure everything was set up in the venue, coordinated with the other vendors, kept everything moving smoothly, let people know quietly when it was about time for a toast, packed up everything at the end of the night, and all the other little things in between. From our perspective, everything just flowed and we didn't think about the logistics at all. All in all, we would 1000% recommend Alex as a month-of-coordinator or event planner. Her kindness, professionalism, and supreme attention to detail really set her apart! -

I don't even know where to begin when it comes to working with Alex, and the entire ANE team. Alex was the very first vendor I spoke with after choosing our venue location, and I had no idea what it would take to plan a wedding or where to begin. Alex was knowledgeable, organized, responsive and above all - she LISTENED! So many planners/coordinators that my husband and I spoke with tried to tell us we didn't have a big enough budget or what we thought we wanted was outdated, but not Alex. Alex took all of our ideas and turned them into reality, helping us have the best wedding we ever could have imagined. If you are looking for someone who will help you bring your vision to life, someone to keep you accountable, and someone who will keep you stress free on wedding day and every day leading up to it, don't hesitate and work with Alex. Alex handled all vendor communication, décor lists, and timeline (something I would never have even known where to begin with)! Our wedding day wouldn't have been what it was without Alex, and no words or review will be able to articulate just how thankful we are to have found Alex - she's simply the BEST! -

Carole A. Sent on 11/07/2022If you want a month of coordinator or full wedding planner - Alexandra is the best!
Alexandra met all our expectations and more with our wedding planning process. We were a 2020 wedding couple who had to reschedule our wedding two times. Alex helped us coordinate with all our vendors on the reschedule process every single time. We can’t thank her enough for making our rescheduled wedding perfect.
Alex is realistic, organized, and fun to be around. My bridesmaids, vendors, and family love how organized she was and still talk about how easy she was to work with! Our wedding timeline was over 30 minutes ahead of schedule, detailed, and everything went off without a hitch. We love Alex and can’t recommend her enough to anyone planning a wedding in the DC area!

Laura S. Sent on 07/18/2022You need ANE for your wedding!
Hiring Alex for my month of coordination was the best decision I made during my wedding planning process! She was so organized and because of her I had 0 stress leading up to the day and even on the wedding day itself. At our venue walk through she went through a timeline and decor list with me and emailed me exactly what I needed to do or buy to be best prepared for the day and she even drove to our house to pick up all of my decor a week out! On the day of I felt like she was my second maid of honor- she even helped me put my shoes on and get me into my dress. She kept all of my vendors organized and literally took care of every detail. At one point one of our vendors was calling my husband right before we were about to walk down the aisle (instead of her like she instructed them to) and she had him give her his phone/password and dealt with it herself. Her and her assistant bustled my dress in minutes while my husband fed me our Hors d’oeuvres. A guest even ripped his pants and she had it sewed up right away so he could keep dancing with us. The day after my wedding she sent me a summary of who she gave my stuff to and also sent me a few pictures she took on her phone. I can’t thank Alex and her team enough for giving my husband and I a perfect stress free day! -

Hiring Alexandra Nesterak Events was, hands down, the best investment we made for our wedding. While I had a clear vision in my mind of what I wanted for our day, I didn't have a clue on how to make any of it happen. Then Alexandra, ANE’s lead planner, came along. It wasn't until working with her that I realized my Pinterest wedding dreams could come true and happen in real life. And they did, and then some because she is SO creative. In addition to curating the absolute dream team of vendors that aligned with the romantic, traditional but with a twist of coastal and chinoiserie vibes we were envisioning, she kept the process organized, stress-free, and — seriously — so much fun. The only person who cares about details more than I do is Alexandra. I never had to worry about a thing, because if she knew about it, it was handled. From keeping me on track with payments and tasks, to putting together my invitation suites and mailing them out, or prepping our hotel welcome boxes, there was no task that was too big or too small for the ANE team. Beyond being incredibly talented and resourceful, Alexandra is kind, passionate, and the type of person you want to surround yourself with in both a friendly and professional setting, which makes her the most perfect wedding planner. Just like us, our parents, family, and wedding party adored her and her team. Our wedding last March was truly the most beautiful, perfect day of our lives because of Alexandra. Guests are still talking about the details of the weekend, all which never would have happened without her. I would go back in time and hire ANE a dozen times over. If you're looking for a detail-oriented, dedicated, and brilliant wedding planner, you're in the right place! -

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Alex with Alexandra Nesterak Events for an event to raise funds and awareness for breast cancer. We provided our restroom trailer for this event. From the time that Alex reached out about the restroom to the breakdown of the event, she was nothing short of amazing. She was responsive to our emails, organized, and ensured that everything ran smoothly. We would highly recommend her for any event that you are hosting. -

Mara N. Sent on 12/05/2021Alex is the absolute best!
Where do I even start!? Alex was our month-of coordinator for our wedding and she was AMAZING! From the beginning, she was a wealth of wedding knowledge and advice, and was always so quick to respond to any questions we had, even when we were over a year out. We decided to postpone our wedding because of Covid, and Alex gave us all the information we needed to navigate moving to our new date with a detailed postponement strategy, not to mention she was super kind and supportive throughout the process of making this very difficult decision! Leading up to our wedding, we were so at ease because we knew Alex had every detail covered – she is extremely organized, an exceptional communicator, and has incredible attention to detail. I was seriously in awe of her thorough day-of timeline and decor list that she put together and managed in the months leading up to our big day, and I can’t even imagine all of the vendor communication that she was taking care of behind the scenes. When the big day finally came, Alex brought everything together so smoothly and perfectly, it was amazing! Because of her and her team, we were able to fully enjoy every beautiful moment of our wedding day and not have to worry for even a second about planning. Alex made sure everyone was where they needed to be at the right times, that my now husband and I were enjoying ourselves and were well taken care of, and that every single detail was perfectly in place. I cannot recommend Alex and her team enough, she is a rockstar planner and hiring her was by far the best decision we made! HIGHLY recommend! -

Absolutely Amazing & Best Wedding Decision Made - aside from the groom :)
Alex was amazing from start to finish! I was the type of bride that sort of knew what I wanted but wasn't into Pinterest or recreating something I saw on some other wedding website. We wanted something unique with elements that represented my husband and me & something efficient. We didn't want to sit and plan our wedding for hours each week. I should say, I spoke to a few coordinators prior to connecting with Alex, and was disappointed with the amount of designing / planning they wanted me to have done despite advertising they can bring the day all together. When I finally connected with Alex, I was so relieved - she really does it all!
During our initial consultation we walked through various elements for the day of - from start to finish. She did not miss a single detail and we did all this in under 3 hours. When we got the design proposal I was stunned by how much it reflected our conversation and how she really listened to what we had to say - all this with us coming with almost no pictures.
After the consultation, we stayed in touch, finalized the design package and it was really smooth sailing. She handled all communication with the vendors to finalize the Day of Timeline. She fielded all questions and sent them over in an efficient and succinct way. She even kept track of invoices, balances, and deadlines for payments.
It's one thing to put something on paper and another to execute and Alex hit it out of the park. When I walked into the venue, I just started crying seeing all of the elements we had been discussing and planning. She really listened and took our vision and made it a reality. It was better than anything we could have ever imagined.
I can't speak enough about her design abilities and the dream she created for us. But her and her team were also just so easy to talk to and be around. On the day of they were so organized, calm, and kept us all moving forward on time but without stressing people out - that is a gift!
I would HIGHLY recommend Alex and her team to any couple getting married. The ease and uniqueness she brings is one of a kind. -

Hannah K. Sent on 08/20/2021Best decision we made was hiring Alex & her team
The best decision we made for our wedding was hiring Alex & her team for coordination and planning. For starters, she helped us navigate a 2020 postponement which was scary, stressful and very unknown at the time back in April of last year. After seeing how quickly she and her team jumped into action to help us postpone everything seamlessly, we knew that when we finally got to work more closely together when it was time to have the wedding, it would be nothing but amazing. And it WAS! Alex was incredibly organized, responsive, creative, helpful and had thought about every single detail ahead of time in the lead up to the wedding... so much so that a few weeks out, my husband and I felt incredibly calm, knowing everything was already figured out. From start to finish, the wedding weekend was amazing... all thanks to her help. She ensured everything ran according to plan, including coordinating so many people (family, wedding party, etc) and vendors. Any issue that arose was taken care of swiftly and thoughtfully. She was so great to work with and truly THE reason our wedding weekend was as amazing as it was. Couldn't recommend her MORE... best decision we made. -

I truly cannot say enough amazing things about Alex and her team - I can't imagine planning or executing my wedding without them. Alex and her team are professional, extremely responsive, creative, and helpful. They went above and beyond to help me, my husband and family plan and execute the perfect wedding. I'd highly recommend anyone hire Alex and her team - if you can afford the full wedding planning service, I wish I had done this from the beginning. We did the month-of coordination and this was such a game-changer so that we could really enjoy our last month knowing that Alex and her team had everything organized for us. The day-of coordination was amazing - it enabled my family and me to truly enjoy every second and not worry about timing, problems, etc. We also were able to hire Alex and team as our florist and they did an amazing job. They are worth every penny!! -

Hiring Alex was hands down the best decision we made. She’s an experienced planner with an excellent eye for design. From the very beginning, she listened carefully to our vision and always respected our budget. She gave us sound advice on where to splurge and where to save, which looking back was absolutely invaluable. And talk about grace under pressure, she was incredibly gracious with all the challenges and curveballs that the COVID pandemic threw our way. She helped us seamlessly navigate three date changes, a venue change, and state change like a pro. Our venue change left us 90 days to plan a nearly entirely new wedding, but with Alex by my side every step of the way it was honestly a breeze. On the wedding day, seeing everything finally come together was truly breathtaking and brought tears to my eyes. Our wedding was truly perfection thanks to Alex. I already miss working with her and its only been a few weeks since we were married!

Alex was incredibly reliable and responsive throughout the entire wedding process. With any wedding, there are a hundred moving pieces to keep track of, and with COVID complications on top of that, she definitely had her hands full. However not a single detail fell through the cracks, and my wedding was nothing less than perfect! She alleviated so much stress from us, as a couple, and I felt 100% confident in her as the wedding date got closer. All of my other vendors also mentioned to me on separate occasions how easy she was to work with and how organized her planning was. You cannot go wrong in having her play a role in your big day!
