The best of the best!

Working with Alison over this past year and a bit was without a doubt one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. She went above and beyond in every possible way.
Alison has an extraordinary ability to tune into your vision—often anticipating what we wanted before we even fully knew it ourselves. She brought her own creative flair while always staying true to the style and feel we hoped for, bringing brilliant outside-the-box ideas to the table. She thought of countless little details that we hadn’t even considered, and managed everything with such grace.
Beyond her unmatched organization and professionalism, Alison is simply an exceptional person. She made a notoriously stressful planning process not only manageable, but genuinely fun. On the wedding day itself, she was on top of everything, putting us at absolute ease and ensuring the entire day ran seamlessly.
(I just have to add that she did all of this while 9 months pregnant! A testament to how dedicated she is to her couples and her work).

With Alison, we truly felt like we had the A-team in our corner.
If you are looking for a planner who pours her heart into her work and delivers beyond expectations, Alison is the one to do it. 💜

You need Alison for your wedding!!!

Alison is the absolute best! She took all the chaos in my head and turned it into a clear, well-organized plan for our wedding, then executed it so smoothly. She was so attentive to our needs from start to finish and offered great guidance along the way, and she caught so many things I hadn't thought of or had missed entirely. She's so friendly and personable that I knew after our first call I wanted to hire her, and I felt completely comfortable with her right away!! I can't recommend Alison and her team enough! THANK YOU

Cannot rave about AF enough

AF Weddings and Event Planning went above and beyond. I found them on WeddingWire, and after my first call with Alison, I knew she was the right person for the job! I don't know how she keeps it all straight. From Day 1, she understood my vision and remembered SO much of what I had told her throughout our time planning. She is extremely responsive, puts the bride and groom first, and does all of this while making it look effortless. She anticipated all of our needs and pulled off a truly beautiful weekend for us. Could not recommend enough!

Alison brought our wedding vision to life!

I got married at Château Ste-Agnès and, being from the States and planning a wedding in Canada, there were definitely moments when the distance made the process feel stressful. Having Alison there made such a huge difference. She helped with everything I wanted and more, and I always felt like I could trust that everything was in good hands.

I especially appreciated how honest Alison was with her recommendations throughout the planning process. Whenever I was worried about things like the timeline, weather, or little details, she was always reassuring while also giving me realistic advice.

On the wedding day, she executed all of the design and décor details exactly how I had envisioned them. She was also able to make adjustments to the timeline on the fly and kept everything running smoothly, which allowed us to actually enjoy our day without worrying about what was happening behind the scenes.

One of the most special moments was when a rainbow appeared on our wedding day. Alison immediately made sure we took advantage of it and that we were able to get photos with the rainbow — something we’ll always remember.

I’m so grateful to Alison for helping bring everything together and making our wedding at Château Ste-Agnès everything we had hoped for. I would absolutely recommend her, especially to anyone planning a destination wedding or planning from out of the country!

Our Wedding on June 13, 2026

We had a wonderful experience working with Alison and her team for our wedding. From the very beginning, it was clear that they are highly knowledgeable and experienced. Their professionalism and attention to detail gave us confidence throughout the entire planning process.

Alison and her team were always available, responsive, and genuinely present whenever we had questions or needed support. They made the whole process so much easier and helped reduce a lot of the stress that comes with planning a wedding.

Overall, we received excellent service and are very happy with our experience. We would definitely recommend Alison and her team to any couple looking for an experienced and reliable wedding planner!

Alison, l'heroine du jour

Grâce à son professionnalisme et sa bienveillance, nous avons pu aborder notre mariage en toute sérénité. Alison a su retirer une pression immense et nous offrir la possibilité de profiter pleinement de chaque instant de cette journée magique.

Si je ne devais recommander qu'une seule chose à de futures mariées, ce serait de s'entourer d'une personne en or comme elle. Sa douceur a fait toute la différence. Recommandée les yeux fermés !

The Hero of our Wedding

Alison was a hero at our wedding! We originally planned an outdoor ceremony with and indoor reception. But, on the day of our wedding, it was pouring rain! Alison quickly changed and flawlessly moved the entire wedding indoors. She ensured smooth transitions between the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing. We are grateful to Alison and her team for being flexible with the rain, making our wedding beautiful, and giving the us the best day possible.

Highly recommend!!

Alison truly played such an important role in making our wedding day feel effortless and completely stress-free.

From the very beginning, she was incredibly attentive, organized, and accommodating to our needs. One of the things we appreciated most was how she went above and beyond to support us with things that were outside of the usual scope, including storing our belongings overnight and making special exceptions to ensure everything worked smoothly for us.

On the wedding day itself, she made sure everything ran seamlessly from start to finish. One of the most impressive moments was how she coordinated the full flip of our ceremony space into the reception setup — and it was done so beautifully and efficiently that it felt completely transformed when we walked back in.

Her calm presence, attention to detail, and willingness to go above and beyond made a huge difference in our experience. We are so thankful for everything she did to make our day run so smoothly, and we would highly recommend her to any couple planning their wedding.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
