Alene and her staff are awesome! She is a great asset to have not only in the planning stages, but most especially at the rehearsal/wedding day. My mother and I are quite OCD, but on my wedding day, I truly left it all to Alene. And I do not regret it in the least! I never thought my wedding day could be so stress-free and seamless! Everything was planned perfectly to the point where guests never got bored. I remember telling Alene at our reception, "I never thought I would actually get to have FUN at my wedding!" and she responded, "That's the way it's supposed to be!" And it truly is!! I'm so glad we hired Alene, and I would recommend her to any bride looking for wedding planning services!

The one decision I never thought twice about was hiring Alene to help me plan my wedding. From our first meeting, she made me feel so special and so at ease, and I knew I would be in good hands. I was so amazed to see every detail come together on the day of the wedding. It was everything I could have wished for and an absolutely perfect day. Alene is the very best out there, and I could not have done it without her!

I Do, I Do Wedding Planning & Consulting made our wedding process so much easier. Alene made me feel like I was the only bride in the world and helped to make our day better than I could have imagined! I HIGHLY recommend Alene and I Do I Do!

Without Alene my daughter's wedding would not have been as beautiful and perfect as it was. I do not live in the same city as where the wedding took place, so I knew that I needed a wedding planner. Alene clicked with my daughter and me at our first interview. She guided us through the year of planning with suggestions and listened to us and especially my daughter as to what we wanted her wedding to be. I am an organized person who likes lists and so is Alene. She really provided support and creative ideas and enthusiasm for our wedding. I cried when the reception was over not because my daughter was leaving but because I had to say good-by to Alene. She has already followed up with me though to see if we were happy with everything. Alene is a professional who helps you see what you want and then helps you to achieve it. She does it all with an upbeat attitude and not one of "I know best". She really wants the wedding to be just what the bride wants it to be.

Alene Gamel of I Do, I Do! is excellent at what she does. I gave her my ideas of my dream wedding and she directed me towards the most excellent vendors. Especially, those that were in my budget. My wedding was a dream come true. The day went perfect, flawless in my eyes. There was not one thing that I or my fiance had to worry about. She took excellent care of us and our family. Superb choice!!!!

We came to Alene with visions of a personal, untraditional event and not a clue where to begin. She shaped our uniquely complicated dream into a wedding that was moving, engaging, one of a kind, and most importantly stress-free. Throughout the planning process, AleneÂ’s checklists and organizational skills ensured that everything was completed in manageable phases, so that we never felt overwhelmed. As our big day approached, we had butterflies but no anxiety because everything was in order. The day of the event, Alene was worth her weight in gold. She and her team were talented at handling the last minute details and unexpected complications. We got to relax and enjoy our special day knowing that everything would go smoothly. In fact, the evening went so well that she was able to coordinate a spur-of-the-moment surprise getaway for us that our guests will never forget! Alene gave us a wedding from beginning to end that was uniquely ours. She can do the same for you!

Alene (as well as Kelley and Heather) was the key to ensuring a smooth, stress-free wedding day. She is great at translating the picture in your mind into reality. Her timelines and scheduling keep you on track, and her experience ensures you that NO detail will be forgotten.She keeps you in the loop with everything going on and is timely with responses. Her flexibility allows meetings to be scheduled when/where you prefer, and her experience guarantees you a list of A+ vendors as well as money-saving tips!Alene and I Do! I Do! are at the very top of my list, and I recommend her to all future brides!

Alene and her colleagues were fantastic. She was attentive to our needs a couple and ensured that our day (and those leading up to it) went off without a hitch. I Do, I Do was instrumental in helping us choose vendors and provided us with a great deal of support planning our wedding long distance. Also important, Alene is a person of great integrity and kindness who is respected in the wedding industry. Her hard work and dedication to our day made it a dream come true, one of minimal stress, great fun, and a lot of love!
