    Made Everything Easy!

    Hiring Ashley Stork/Magnolia Vine Events as my wedding planner was one of the BEST decisions I made. Ashley and her team were very responsive and accommodating with anything and everything I needed or had questions about from the start. Her expertise and knowledge is second to none. When we realized I had forgotten to hire bartenders on the week of the wedding, she was so calm and handled it within 24 hours.. and several people have complimented the bartenders' service since. Ashley and her team are also incredibly well-respected in this industry. When calling vendors to get estimates, etc., they would ask whether I had a wedding planner. When I told them Ashley, they were so happy knowing she would be working with them and all were very complimentary of her. That made me feel so confident in my decision to use Magnolia Vine Events. Cannot recommend Ashley and her team enough.

I was given all the tools to keep everything organized and on schedule during the planning process and was put completely at ease knowing help was only a phone call away.

Booking I Do, I Do, Wedding Planning is a MUST for every bride!!!!

    Ashley and her team did an amazing job from start to finish when planning my wedding! She made the process so much easier and better for me, especially the week/weekend of the wedding. She always listened to what I wanted and tried to make my vision a reality, or help me figure out what my vision was! She was always quick to respond to anything I needed and it was always a pleasure when we had to meet together or meet with vendors. She was very knowledgeable of the vendors in the area, always had plenty of recommendations, and has built relationships with many of them. It was also nice having her office in the same building as some of the vendors we used! She was very professional the weekend of the wedding and I can’t brag enough on how well of a job her team did. She made sure I had everything in line and if I had forgotten anything, she took care of it no problem! She made my weekend stress-free and I felt at ease knowing she was in charge and had everything under control. Ashley and her team made sure I always had what I needed, whether it was a drink in my hand or a fresh coat of my lipstick on my lips. The weekend went off without a hitch and I can give much thanks to her for that. They took great care of everything post-reception and made sure everything got where it needed to go. I was beyond pleased with my choice for a wedding planner and I highly recommend getting one!!

    We used I do, I do for our "day of" wedding coordination, but it really was so much more than that. Ashley and Kendal helped us whenever we had questions, met with us multiple times to talk about details of the wedding, walk through the venue, and talk through the wedding timeline. The communicated with our vendors and made our day happen behind the scenes so there was absolutely no stress on our part. I am so thankful for their services and all that they did to make our day amazing!

    Ashley is seriously AMAZING!!! If you are planning a wedding you need to go hire I Do, I Do! Wedding Planning right now! I really don't know what kind of craziness my wedding would've been if it hadn't been for Ashley. In our first meeting she totally got me and somehow interpreted what I really wanted from my literally thousands of Pinterest wedding pins. Not only is she a fun, awesome, fabulous person to be around, she is also on it! She walked me through the entire process, helped me assemble the most amazing vendor team, and basically made my entire wedding just out of this world awesome. She was so organized and made sure every tiny detail was taken care of so that on my wedding day I had absolutely no worries or issues to deal with at all! She is pretty much Superwoman and runs the whole show and handles everything from vendor coordination, to set-up and making sure everything looks perfect, to family and wedding party issues. Everything was scheduled so well that I could just have fun and enjoy being a bride. My family has raved about how impressed they were with her and my husband was even bragging about her to other couples we met on our honeymoon! I have received so many compliments from guests about how beautiful all the décor was and how much fun they had at my wedding. I always thought wedding planners were for people with a crazy budget but honestly I Do, I Do is totally affordable and absolutely, hands down, worth every penny. I've already recommended Ashley to a friend I will continue to recommend her to anyone I know who is getting married. Seriously Ashley and her team are just flat out wedding miracle workers and you would be crazy not to hire them.

    Ashley with I Do, I Do! Wedding Planning was an absolute joy to work with. She held my hand through each step of planning my perfect wedding. She helped me stay organized and meet my planning deadlines. Not only did she recommend the best vendors ever, she coordinated everything with them on my behalf. My wedding day was more perfect than I could have ever imagined and it was all because I had the best wedding coordinator out there! The day of the wedding I didn't have to worry about anything but getting myself ready and that's how it should be. As my mother stated, "Hiring Ashley was the best money she has ever spent!" Did I mention I Do I Do! is extremely reasonable! I would recommend Ashley and her team to anyone looking for an amazing planner and wonderful experience! She and I will definitely remain friends.

    Ashley is amazing. She is friendly, helpful, responsive, kind, patient, creative, and all around wonderful. If you want someone who will help you organize your thoughts, your ideas, and your to-dos while keeping your individuality in mind, you should hire Ashley! I cannot say enough good things about her.

    We used Ashley for partial planning/day of coordination and could not have been happier with our end results! She was super easy to get ahold of, responded quickly to questions, and was an overall great resource for finding the perfect vendors for our day. She really listened to what we wanted and helped make every detail possible -- especially by making the day-of time line that saved our lives! She took care of making sure vendors knew exactly where to go and when and that they had exactly what was needed, and basically made sure everything was up to our expectations the day of the wedding. With Ashley's help we were able to relax and enjoy planning and especially the day of our wedding which is what really made our experience with I Do! I Do! so wonderful!!

    I pay attention to details! And so does Ashely! I appreciated Ashely listening to my daughter's ideas and our plans; then if there was a place of improvement or enhancement on an idea she spoke up and offered her expertise.
    On wedding day.... I couldn't have asked for more from Ashley and her girls. She was attentive to our needs as well as executing the details of our venue and wedding. She was everywhere!! And if I even mentioned a statement she was quick and confident to respond with "I can take care of that." She took care of the details which in turn took care of us. Thank you Ashley!

    I worked with Ashley Stork from I do I do wedding planning for Day-of Coordinator services. She was very easy to work with, extremely professional, and was no-nonsense. Ashley was prompt to respond to all my questions and requests. She was always calm and pleasant which made the wedding planning and wedding day stress free and fun!
    My husband and I have had so many friends and relatives tell us that the wedding was one of the best organized and fun weddings they have been to. I think this can be primarily attributed to Ashley and her direction on the day of. I know that I was stressed out, worried about whether everyone in the wedding party was getting along, whether everyone was in a good mood, etc. Our family is a very close and every aunt, cousin, etc., wants to always be of help, always be around each other. It is great-but on our wedding day began to be a little obtrusive. Ashley handled everyone in my wedding party and in our family respectfully and firmly, keeping me from being overwhelmed and keeping family happy. Ashley helped to make our wedding day not just run smoothly and beautifully, she made it possible for my husband and I to enjoy ourselves. We had a wonderful time at our wedding, we were able to stay focused on the important things and this is due to Ashley's skill as a Day-of Coordinator.
    I would absolutely recommend I Do I Do Wedding Planning to another bride. Any company that employes professionals as delightful as Ashley have to be excellent. I cannot express more how happy I am that I Do I Do Wedding Planning worked with me on my wedding.

    Ashley and the staff with I Do, I Do wedding planning were an absolute joy to work with. Ashley understood my fiance and I from the very beginning and worked to make our vision a reality. She was so wonderful for our guests and wedding party...they absolutely loved her! My fiance says time and time again that the best decision we made through the wedding process was hiring Ashley Stork...and I agree whole heartedly!

    Hiring I DO, I DO! Wedding Planning was the BEST money we spent for our daughter's wedding! Alene Gamel made a fairytale wedding reception a reality for Laci and David. She scheduled several meetings to discuss the vision, budget and vendor choices. This was our first wedding to plan and definitely needed guidance!! She was very positive and gave us so many ideas that I can't imagine planning Laci's wedding without her! I would highly recommend I DO, I DO! to handle any wedding! Speaking as the Mother of the Bride, there was absolutely NO STRESS for me (and I am a control freak!). Alene told us she would be the go-to person for all the vendors and for us to just enjoy the day and night..........and that is just what we did! It was a magical time for our family!

    Alene was truly a pleasure to work with from start to finish! I consider myself a very organized person and was able to handle most meetings and communication on my own with other vendors, but I would never have been able to do that without the direction and vision that Alene brought to the table!

    - Quality of Service: Alene takes the time to get to know her bride and listens to what they want. She will offer her advice on current trends and outdated fads, all without pushing her own opinion on you. My wedding day was not without its hiccups, but Alene was there to handle any issues that came up and make sure that they were managed and resolved.
    - Responsiveness: Alene's attention to detail is great! She'll help you work with all your vendors and will be stern, when needed, to make sure that they are delivering on the needs of the bride. Although they are all vendors, Alene is much more than that. She is the liason between the bride and vendors and will stop at nothing to make sure that they are all giving the bride exactly what she wants.
    - Professionalism: Without question, Alene is extremely professional! Again, as she serves as a liason, she does so in a way that does not step on any toes.
    - Value: This expense will undeniably be worth every penny! Alene provides very insightful "to-do" lists at every meeting to make sure that the bride is doing her part to get ready for the big day. Alene does a great job of breaking it all down for you without making you feel overwhelmed.
    - Flexibility: Alene is extremely flexible! I have a full-time job in which many times it's after 6 or 7pm before I leave work. Alene was always flexible with her schedule to meet when it worked best for me, including nights and weekends.

    I can't express enough how great it was to have Alene be apart of our big day!

    You can absolutely not go wrong with I Do I Do! And Alene Gamel. From the moment I begin working with Alene, any worries I had about planning Jenn's wedding were gone. She completely took the 'overwhelming' out of wedding planning. And for the end result...PERFECTION!!! I would not change a thing about the wedding and would work with her again and again!!!

    Alene and Ashley were wonderful! They really helped me out with a lot of decisions and gave me great ideas when I was at a loss of what to do or how to incorporate certain things. Ashley was the event manager for my Wedding day. She definitely took a huge weight of my shoulders and did everything she could to make my day wonderful, beautiful and as stress free as it could be.

    Alene and her team, Ashley and Kelley, are truly the best! Alene definitely made the wedding planning process stress free! I am so blessed to have had her as a wedding planner and pulling off our special day. Everything was beautiful and we received so many compliments on our wedding and it was all because Alene, Ashley and Kelley put everything together perfectly. I couldn't have asked for a better wedding planner, she knows what she is doing! Whenever we needed something or had a question, she was very responsive and quick! She understood our vision and it turned out beautifully! Thank you so much again and I would highly recommend I Do, I Do! Wedding Planning & Consulting to any engaged couple!

    I am the mother of a Bride who due to her work schedule didn't have time to do much planning or decision making herself. Alene and I worked together to give my daughter and her fiancé the wedding of their dreams! There is no way I could have accomplished this without Alene and her staff by my side the whole way. I was overwhelmed with all the details and decisions but Alene had an organized method that helped me to focus on only the tasks in front of me at the time. She gently guided me from one list to to the next making sure that I had all decisions in on time. She has a great reputation with many vendors and helped me to find the ones that would work best for our unique situation. The first and best decision I made for my daughters wedding was to hire Alene Gamel from I do I do Wedding Planning!

    I Do, I Do! made my life so much easier during the entire planning process. Alene is wonderful to work with. I felt like she really got a grasp of who my groom and I were and what we wanted. We met on multiple occasions during our engagement to discuss vendors and how the planning was going and to receive our next to-do list. I am a worrier, so this was great in helping me take it one chunk at a time. She was able to give suggestions of vendors based on our budget and what we were looking for. But, the best part of Alene's work came the week of the wedding. She called all of our vendors and made sure everything was running smoothly. She was able to get things done from some of the vendors that I was struggling with. Everything went incredibly smoothly, thanks to Alene and her company. And if it didn't, I didn't know about it. What more can a bride ask for?
    But most importantly, Alene is a wonderful person who made us feel special and excellently established a friendly relationship with us. And, she was on our side, so when our parents were pushing things she knew were not our style, she was able to be the third party who made sure we got what we wanted without hurting anyone's feelings. I would highly recommend this company to anyone. We chose her because we were both in two weddings she had run and saw how smoothly things went because of her.

    I knew that I had to work with Alene when, during our initial meeting about a year prior to my wedding, she asked me what day I was planning to get married, and when I told her, she said "Well the sun sets at 7:35 that day, and the best pictures are about an hour before sunset." I thought, "If this lady knows what time the sun sets a year from now on my wedding day off the top of her head, then she has to be good." She absolutely did not disappoint. Alene is essential for anyone who does not want to be pulling their hair out while they are trying to plan a wedding. She is organized, creative, and is there for you every step of the way. The year I was engaged, I was completing medical school, so I was interviewing for jobs all over the country and trying to graduate. Alene made a personalized schedule for me so that I could do everything I needed to do and still have the wedding of my dreams. Not only that, she is so much fun to be around, so it made everything so much less stressful. She is in-the-know about all of the bridal events happening in the area, and all of the vendors that I used love to work with her because she is on top of her game. One of the things I wanted the most from a wedding planner was no stress on wedding day for me or my family (especially my mom). As far as I know, my wedding went off without a hitch, and I literally had nothing to do besides enjoy my day. Being able to relax and be with my family and new husband on my wedding day was absolutely priceless to me, and it made a wonderful day just that much better.

    I Do,I Do! Wedding Planning & Consulting did a fantastic job planning/coordinating our wedding! Alene Gamel and her team are phenomenal! Thanks to Alene, the planning process for my husband and I was a smooth one. We were provided guidance EVERY step of the way (vendor suggestions, save-the-Date/invitation details, timeline for wedding day). Not only was the I Do,I Do Consulting team wonderful; but, the vendors that she suggested did a fantastic job also. The professionalism of this team led to an amazing, well-organized, and most of all stress-free wedding day. We were able to enjoy ourselves; we honestly did not have to worry about anything on our big day and not too many people can attest to that! We are still receiving compliments on how beautiful our wedding was, and we have I Do, I Do! Wedding Planning and Consulting to thank for that! I highly recommend this team for future brides!

    Choosing to work with Alene and her team for our Wedding was the best decision we made in the entire planning process.

    Alene is very creative, professional and fun to work with! She will brainstorm with you on how to make your day the absolute best it can be and she will give you great tips that will save you time, money and a lot of headaches. She has been in the business for many years and has seen the good, the bad, and the ugly and can tell you what works and what doesn't. Throughout her career, she has had to turn a lot of challenging situations into positive opportunities. I know this because I got to know her in the Planning Process and got to hear a few of the stories :).

    She has one of the best work ethics I've ever seen which shows that Excellence is one of her core business and personal values. She is also a very honest person which means if you are her client, she has your back and she will shoot straight with you.

    The vendors she recommends are very professional and great to work with. In fact, we have been referring them to our friends who attended our wedding because of what the vendors did to make it a successful night.

    Planning a wedding is a very exciting and happy, yet stressful time. But having Alene and her team allowed us to stay on track, make decisions that we know were great because of the advice we received, and enjoy the actual wedding day with our guests.

    Give Alene and her team a call. You will be making an excellent decision if you do :)
