    Couldn't have done it without her!

    I am a type-A, anxious bride, so I'm sure I'm not the easiest to work with. I have a million questions and weird things make me anxious. Briana, was amazing! She never made me feel bad for asking a ton of questions and always responded super quickly. She met with me several times and was always patient with me. She really met me where I was at and was such an asset! I was worry free on my wedding day and that is in no small part due to Briana's work ethic, vendor relationships and professionalism. We seriously could not have done it without her!

    truly above and beyond, hire her!!

    We hired Alyssa as a day of coordinator for our wedding in Kenwood. She was *so much more* than a day of coordinator. Our 90, 60 and 30 day check-ins were so helpful in keeping us on track with booking our vendors, thinking about small personal decor details, etc. Alyssa helped with vendor coordination, made sure the whole day ran smoothly, and assisted with a day-of wedding cake emergency. Most importantly, she understood the vibe of the wedding we were going for. We had such an amazing wedding and it would not have been possible without Alyssa.

    The Best Thing We Did for Our Wedding

    The first thing my now husband and I said to each other at the end of our wedding was "Thank god for Alyssa".
    Alyssa was genuinely the best thing we did for our wedding. The periodic check ins during the planning process were so helpful in keeping us on track, and the amount of work (both mental and physical) that she took on in the days leading up to/ the day of meant so much to us. This included coming up with an entirely new schedule and lay out when the weather turned sour on us at the last minute!
    Our family and wedding party were so impressed with her warmth and professionalism that several asked for her contact info for their own upcoming weddings as well.
    We never felt like we were being pushed, or that she or Arianna (her assistant) were overly present but they always seemed to pop up exactly when they were needed.
    Working with Alyssa was an absolute delight and I cannot recommend her more highly. She was worth every penny and then some.

    Briana Martinet (Alyssa Bray events)

    Many thanks to Briana Martinet with Alyssa Bray Events for making our wedding day truly special. Briana provided day-of planning services for our small wedding (24 guests) at MacArthur Place in Sonoma, CA in October 2023. From our first introductory call it was clear that Briana was knowledgeable and a consummate professional. Briana actively listened to our wishes and provided applicable and thoughtful suggestions for the flow and design of our day. Throughout the process, Briana was available and responsive to all of our concerns and questions. She clearly had a good rapport with local wedding vendors and was able to provide us with feedback and successful referrals for vendors ranging from flowers to day of snacks. She single handedly set up our rentals and also seamlessly coordinated all of our vendors leading up to the event, which was a huge load off of our shoulders. Briana was personable and a joy to talk to, she thoroughly explained timing and other nuances that we may not have been aware of as first time wedding planners and was a compassionate listener when we were frustrated with the process. On the day of, Briana was truly a star. She was the conductor of all of the moving parts of our wedding and, other than a few last minute questions (which were well timed and delivered with calm composure), we barely had to do anything. She made sure everything ran smoothly and anticipated what we needed, before we even realized we needed it. From keeping us on time, to queuing up our ceremony procession, to bringing us appetizers when she noticed we had been too busy to snag any, Briana competently handled our day. Overall, we had an excellent experience with Briana Martinet and Alyssa Bray Events and would wholeheartedly suggest them if you are looking for an event planner.

    Amazing Experience!!

    My husband Andy and I got married in the redwood forest this past fall! We worked with Alyssa and her team and and were so impressed by their organization, communication, and professionalism. Alyssa's warmth and enthusiasm made us feel so comfortable and at ease throughout the months of planning leading up to our wedding day. On the day of, she and her team made every detail absolutely perfect. We held our reception at an organic farm near the forest, which required transportation coordination. Alyssa managed everything so effortlessly, and made our wedding day so incredibly special. We are so grateful for you, Alyssa! Thank you for being a part of making our wedding so magical!

    Love, A + A

    Thorough, organized and so kind

    We hired Briana as our day-of-coordinator for our 50 person wedding, and she hit the ball out of the park. We booked her about a year in advance, and she was available to answer questions, help me plan our wedding (it's a daunting task to be a bride and plan it yourself!), and was more than helpful the months leading up to our day. She didn't just coordinate and communicate between our vendors, but even offered to pick up our dessert, let us use her space to store items we shipped out (destination wedding), and was just a kind and wonderful person to work with. We will honestly miss planning amid the stress because of how wonderful she was! Having a day-of-coordinator is a great option if you are working within a budget. She was so helpful and so professional. Highly recommend.

    Best wedding decision we made

    Hiring a planner was one of the best things we could've done for our wedding. Briana and I met over video chat and I felt like we immediately clicked—she understood not only the vision for our wedding day but also seemed to match me and my now-husband's easygoing and fun energy. She was so helpful throughout the entire process, answering questions and making sure all the boxes were checked, communicating with vendors as the day got closer. And during the wedding weekend itself she was the true MVP. We never had to worry about a thing, having complete trust in Bri and her assistant to make sure everything went flawlessly and according to schedule (and it did!). We so enjoyed not only working with Bri but also getting to know her; by the end of it all she really felt like a friend. We both said how we were almost sad it was all over because of how much we enjoyed each other's company. We of course don't plan to do it all over again but if we ever did Briana would be the first person I'd call!

    World's best planner!!

    Alyssa is quite simply the absolute best and I could not have had such a flawless and organized wedding experience without her! I am so glad my venue required a day of planner, because hiring Alyssa made me see how absolutely crucial a planner was, even for me as a self-described very organized person! She kept me ultra organized and on-track with milestones, helped me find nearly all of my other vendors through her incredible network, and helped both hype me up and calm me down for all things wedding-related! I always felt so at ease after each of our phone calls and checklist discussions. Throughout the entire planning process and of course day-of, Alyssa kept us moving forward and ultimately orchestrated a flawless wedding! I appreciated her input, suggestions, and kindness at every moment of the process. If Alyssa is available for your wedding, look no further!!

    Absolutely amazing

    Alyssa was the first person I hired after we chose the venue and date. It was the single best decision I made while planning a wedding. She came highly recommended but the honest truth is that she struck me as someone responsive, meticulous, experienced and easy going. Over the next 9 months, I found Alyssa to be indispensable. She is incredibly organized, detail-oriented, knowledgeable about her craft and really loves what she does. She is responsive and punctual. She kept me on a timeline with minimal stress. Being great at her job is not Alyssa's only quality. She is an absolute gem. Easygoing, relaxed, personable, warm, and funny, she adds joy and fun to the wedding planning process. During the wedding day, she made the day seamless, kept me calm and relaxed and lifted a mountain of planning and tasks off my shoulders.

    I am so grateful that I had Alyssa as my wedding planner and highly recommend her. Thank you, Alyssa, for giving us a beautiful celebration.

    Best Planner Ever

    Briana was a life saver, she was so patient and helpful throughout the process & so detail oriented we absolutely wouldn’t have been able to pull off this wedding without her! She was also familiar with our venue (MacArthur) so she kept the whole planning process moving smoothly along & was so great at resolving any issues that popped up along the way

    Awesome, organized coordinator

    Amazing help! Loved how organized she was with visual charts and diagrams and timelines. Always asked us to make sure everything is going the way we really wanted and that no one is just making us go with the flow. My wife said it really was her dream wedding, so I got to thank Alyssa for making that happen. Would recommend her to anyone. Standing ovation, golden buzzer, applause, more applause.

    Above and beyond

    Bri is an exceptional planner and we credit her for our wedding being absolutely perfect!
    She truly went above and beyond and took care of every detail. She gave us a sense of calmness and is a very adaptable and successful coordinator. We really feel all of our vendors, especially Bri, ensured everything ran smoothly and made it the wedding of our dreams!

    Absolutely everything you could want/need in a planner!

    Alyssa was absolutely amazing! I could not have asked for a better planner. She went above and beyond to make sure every detail was covered. She made the entire wedding planning process feel so easy. She helped coordinate literally everything! And the entire time it felt like I was working with a friend.
    I am so grateful Alyssa was willing to work with us to plan our wedding. Everything went off without a hitch and it was all because of her!

    *BEST* decision you will make!

    My husband and I agree that bringing Alyssa into the fold as our wedding coordinator was the BEST decision that we made throughout the planning process. She was always responsive, extraordinarily organized, professional but personable, and always had our back in conversation with other vendors. She was such a joy to work with and I was sad for the wedding to be over mainly because our time with Alyssa was over. Truly, she’s the best.

    Alyssa Bray is a must have part of your wedding

    Hiring Alyssa was the best decision we made for our wedding. Alyssa was always honest and open about the best paths forward during the planning phase, you could tell she was always advising with our personal best interests in mind. Alyssa is someone you want communicating with vendors on your behalf, she always got quicker responses with more information than my partner and I were able to. Alyssa also took care of everything beautifully on the day of our wedding, there was nothing at all for us to even think about that day! We also had a curveball with some surprise rain for a bit and Alyssa quickly put together a contingency plan and executed to save the day. Alyssa’s the best and you couldn’t go wrong having her help planning and coordinating your wedding.

    Could not have done this without Alyssa!

    Alyssa is the absolute BEST! She has a wealth of information, provided great vendor recommendations, and was so easy to work with. She is professional, an effective communicator, organized, and a pleasure to be around. Her warm smile and composed way of being made this whole process easy and everything went off without any issue. I shared with her that many guests commented at how she seemed to appear with exactly what they were needing/looking good, like magic! Our hearts are filled with gratitude for everything Alyssa did, but more importantly, for being the amazing person she is.

    We would've been lost without Alyssa!

    Alyssa is the definition of someone who goes above and beyond. We hired Alyssa as our day-of coordinator, and she was so much more than that, helping us with our to-do list and communicating with all of our vendors and venue. Alyssa is calm, patient, organized, and wonderful to work with, making us feel at ease during the entire wedding planning process. We highly recommend working with Alyssa to make wedding planning as stress-free as possible and to bring your wedding vision to life. We are so thankful for Alyssa's expertise, support, and professionalism that made our wedding day the best day ever!!

    10/10 Would Recommend!

    Briana from Alyssa Bray Events was the MVP of our vendor team! Incredibly detailed oriented, solution oriented and thoughtful - Briana truly outdid herself and brought our wedding day together. Her expertise was also invaluable throughout the wedding planning process, helping to build the foundation for a seamless experience from start to finish. I cannot recommend Alyssa Bray Events enough - do yourself a favor and hire them for your special event. You won't regret it!

    The best!

    After doing much research trying to find a planner within my budget, I stumbled upon Alyssa Bray Events. Briana was my wedding planner and I have nothing but incredible things to say about her. She was well organized, helped me stay on track with all of the planning, and she was incredibly helpful in assisting with finding vendors and come up with creative wedding ideas. During the wedding planning process I ended up having my venue fall through and Briana spent her weekend helping me secure another venue. She was so knowledgeable, sweet, easy to talk to and felt like a friend. She exceeded my expectations of a planner and I would give her the highest recommendation if you are looking for a planner.

    Best Decision I Made

    The single best decision I made during my wedding planning process was hiring Alyssa Bray Events…and there were a lot of decisions being made! She was always one step ahead, asked me the questions I didn’t think to ask myself, reassured me when I had doubts or gave great alternate suggestions, and was incredibly organized, levelheaded, and kind. On top of that, all my vendors explicitly expressed how much they liked working with her which speaks volumes about her and her staff. On my wedding day, I was able to fully let go and truly enjoy it because I knew she had it ALL under control. I cannot thank her enough.

    THE Best Experience!!

    This is well overdue! My husband and I got married on 12/2/22 and Briana was our day of wedding planner. Alyssa Bray Events was recommended to us by our wedding venue and all I can say is that seriously working with Briana was amazing. She was so responsive, personal, creative and you really just want to be her best friend! On the day of our wedding she made us feel so confident that everything would go well that we didn't even feel stressed out and could truly enjoy ourselves. I would highly recommend hiring them to help plan your wedding as they truly have their whole hearts in what they do. Thank you again Briana for everything! XO

    Hire Her!!!

    Alyssa is the absolute BEST! She made the whole planning process fun and stress-free. I would get married again just so we could work with her again.

    On the wedding day, she did a great job of making me feel relaxed and hid any issues that came up. I couldn't imagine our day without her.

    True perfection

    Alyssa Bray Events (Briana specifically is who we worked with!) took SUCH GOOD CARE of us. Not only on our wedding day, but through the entire planning process, she was there and ready to go. I could always get ahold of her with my annoying questions and in time I felt like I was chatting with a friend! Our wedding weekend ran so smoothly and seamlessly, not a single hiccup thanks to her and her team, and it couldn’t have been more fun. We were able to be completely present and truly enjoy our event because we knew Briana had everything covered. They’re absolutely the right gals to trust with your special day. Don’t think on this - make planning easy - hire them!

    Alyssa is wonderful - calm, friendly, knowledgeable - she saved us!

    Alyssa made us feel comfortable and confident from our first call until the end of our wonderful night. Her expertise and friendly and calm demeanor allowed us to go into the last few months of planning knowing we’d be taken care of. She helped us make decisions, confirm vendors and understand the options to make our wedding day unique to us. Can’t thank her enough and would absolutely recommend!

I seriously want to plan another wedding just to hire her again! I was skeptical of spending the money on a wedding planner, but she turned out to be worth every penny and crucial to executing a well-planned wedding! She is 100 stars out of 10!!! Can't say enough great things about this girl!!! I will give a personal reference to anyone considering hiring her!
