I Do, I Do! Wedding Planning & Consulting, LLC.

Alene was the best wedding planner! Our wedding day was perfect because of her attention to detail and overall vision of what we expected for our wedding. She is truly awesome.

The whole wedding experience was amazing. We had a fantastic experience and also gained a friend.

I honestly cannot say enough good things about Alene. She was a God send. I knew I wanted a wedding planner from day one; my mom however was not sold on the idea. I set up the meeting with Alene, after our initial meeting mom was sold as well. I knew I had found the perfect person to help make my visions come to life. I felt as if I were her only bride, and her only purpose was to make my dreams come true. She directed this lost future bride in the right direction, I have no doubt the wedding would have been a complete disaster had she not been involved. The best part was the BIG day. It was the best day of my life, not only because I married the man of my dreams but also because I was able to enjoy the day with all my best friends. If something was out of place, I never knew it. The only advice I give any of my newly engaged friends is "Hire a wedding planner, not just any wedding planner, hire Alene Gamel with I Do I Do" She is simply amazing!

Alene was great! My wedding turned out perfect, and the day went so smoothly. I was able to relax because I knew that she could handle anything. Our meetings prior to the wedding were really helpful. She walked me through each step of the planning and helped me find the best vendors in town. Before the wedding, when I was worrying about my hair, makeup, honeymoon packing etc, she called every vendor to make sure they knew what to bring and what time to be there. She helped me stay organized and not procrastinate. I don't know how we could have planned a wedding without her!

Alene is the most AMAZING wedding planner. I have told her many times that she needs to be a life coach as well. She is able to take a wonderful time in your life that can also turn into the most stressful time in your life but she makes it FUN. I was 4 months away from my wedding and my wedding planner up to that point had taken another job. I was panicking. Luckily I found Alene. She was able to help me get organized and get a plan on how to get this to happen. She doesn’t take over your wedding day like I had watched in movies. She has the perfect touch of knowing when to get involved. She allows you to create your dream day and then she makes it all come together. I didn’t have to worry about anything. I can be very micromanaging and too detail oriented but after meeting Alene the first few times I knew she was going to get it done. I didn’t worry about one thing the day of my wedding and neither did anyone in my family. My friends and family were able to have a great time. I have had several compliments that they have never been to a wedding where the bride looked so at ease and had so much fun. It was truly because Alene as a wedding planner. Before I hired Alene people would ask me “how is the wedding plnning coming along” and I would give the cliché answer of “I just want to get it over with”. Then once Alene got involved I wished I had a few more months to plan because I didn’t want the fun to end. I also was a little sad after the wedding because I felt like Alene was such a huge part of my life. I made her promise we would still be friends.  I could go on and on. She is truly the BEST!!

Alene offers the rare combination of professionalism, communication and sensitivity to the bride's vision that made our wedding a delight. She inquired as to my thoughts, helped me prioritize based on budget, explained the most cost-effective allocation of funds and services, and then directed me through each implementation phase. It was fun to see Alene kick into high gear as the day approached, and I actually enjoyed the wedding day 'worry-free' as I knew that I'd found and trusted the right person to 'make it happen.' Alene is a blessing!

I would highly recommend a wedding planner and Alene Gamel of I Do, I Do! Wedding Planning & Consulting, LLC. was worth every penny. She was very calm, assertive, tasteful, knowledgeable, honest and reliable. I can't say enough about her to describe how important she was to us during our wedding planning and wedding day.

Alene Gamel is an excellent wedding planner. She is organized, enthusiastic, and truly cares about her brides. She communicates well with all of the vendors and makes sure everything remains on schedule. I would recommend her without hesitation. My wedding was absolutely fabulous thanks to all of her help!

Alene was so amazing during my wedding planning process! I don't know how I would have done everything without her. She perfected my vision and went above and beyond my expectations. Alene refered me to great vendors who gave me extra special treatment because I was her bride. She was always helpful and available. She is worth her weight in gold!!!

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 with I DO! I Do! was incredible! I was able to give her all my thoughts on what I envisioned for our wedding and she was able to coordinate all of my ideas. She made the process so easy, so that I was able to enjoy the planning process. She was incredibly organized, which out me at ease and allowed me to have time to get excited about the Big Day!! I would highly recommend her to any bride!

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, Alene’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 did a great job with our wedding! We (the groom and I) live out of town and are both very laid back. She did a wonderful job taking over all the small details we did not want to worry about and she helped take care of the other items that we deemed more important. Had it not been for Alene, our special day would have been a lot more stressful. Knowing she was there for us helped us both relax and truly enjoy the ceremony and reception!

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!

Very pleased with the entire package! Would have been lost without the help.

Alene was wonderful to work with!....worth every penny, especially for a bride and groom with very demanding full-time jobs. After our first meeting with her, she was able to understand quickly what our vision was for our special day. We left the details to her, and the wedding and reception were beautiful!
