“Working with Alyssa was the most important decision we made to make our wedding dreams come to life. She is extremely organized, thorough, an excellent communicator, and not afraid to go to bat for her clients.

In the beginning of the planning process she provided us with many options for excellent, reputable vendors that fit my vision and was understanding and accommodating when I was indecisive or changed my mind on something. I was concerned because I had many ideas but didn’t know how to make them cohesive and she made sure my vision was streamlined throughout all of the decisions we made. She was willing to take the reins when we needed her to, and also let us be as involved as we wanted to be. Every final decision was ran by us and she kept track of all things budget, making suggestions on how to cut costs when we wanted to, or making suggestions to allot budget to things we might not have thought of otherwise. She was quick to answer emails, set up Zoom meetings, or hop on phone calls (sometimes last-minute) and heard us out on any concerns and was very reassuring.

The wedding day had so many moving parts that we did not have to think about at all. We were able to just focus on each other and our guests. I told everybody that there was literally no way we would have been able to pull it off alone, it wouldn’t have been what it was - not even close!

Alyssa was a pleasure to get to know over the year we worked with her. She was very professional but also warm, supportive, and thoughtful. We faced hardship during our year of planning and she let us know she was there for us and gave us lots of grace when we needed to take time away from planning or took longer to give responses. Our wedding was beautiful and I would recommend Alyssa to anybody looking for a planner! You won’t regret it!”

 
 

We reached out less than 6 months from our wedding and Alyssa did everything effortlessly with the little time she had which wiped away my fear of getting everything done in time.

She is organized, professional, and has a great eye when it comes to design. I loved how all the decorations came out and how all of her ideas made it so much better. Tyler and I loved it and are forever grateful.

“I cannot express how organized, efficient, and kind Alyssa and her team were throughout the entire process. As a wedding photographer, working alongside a planner who balances leadership and trust so effortlessly allows for every vendor to truly execute their best work, and I can truly say this particular wedding was my favorite experience of the entire year. Not only did Alyssa and her team give our couple an intentional and custom experience, but the event itself was so exquisitely designed, it looked as though it came right off the pages of a Vogue shoot.

If you are currently engaged and are deciphering whether or not to hire Pacific Engagements as your wedding planner, let this be the review to push you over the edge and secure her services. She is exceptional, intentional, and has a wonderful eye for design.”

“I felt very unprepared to dive into the world of wedding planning after our engagement. Alyssa helped me feel more comfortable with wedding culture. She exuded confidence and professionalism, recommended amazing vendors, kept communication stream-lined, kept us on track with decision-making, and never pressured us if we needed more time to think through little details or logistics.

We planned an August wedding because we figured it wouldn't rain that deep into summer. Of course, when the day came, it rained... Alyssa and her team didn't even bat an eye. Upon our request, they set up our ceremony in the rain for us anyway, and moved the cocktail hour and reception indoors without bothering me with a single detail.

Nothing will ever go 100% according to plan, but with Pacific Engagements, none of our guests ever knew that our special day was anything other than exactly as we planned it to be!”

JULIANNA + OMID

“Thank you so much for everything you did to make our wedding happen. We are really happy with how it went and especially glad we could truly just be present and trust that you had it all covered, which you did!”

 
 

The biggest testament to Pacific Engagements’ excellent work is how seamless our actual wedding was. There was not a single hiccup over the entire weekend, which was noticed by many of our guests and, of course, the two of us.

We highly recommend working with Alyssa and Pacific Engagements to any couples who desire a premium wedding experience.

“There are not enough words to explain how amazing Alyssa is to work with. I was worried about being able to execute the vision I had in my head of what I wanted my wedding to look like. Alyssa brought to the table the creative, artistic aspect that I sorely needed and helped fill in the entire picture. She was able to provide sketches, mockups, designs and plans for everything that really helped us visualize what the day would look like. Combining that with her tailored list of vendors the day was fully coming together, and I was able to reduce the residual stress knowing Alyssa understood my vision and would execute it beautifully.

Much like with the rest of the world, the COVID pandemic drastically changed our wedding plans. After making the decision to postpone our wedding, I reached out to Alyssa with the difficult news. She immediately contacted all my vendors, coordinated the change-of-date contracts, and handled all the logistics so I didn't have to worry about them. When we began planning again in early 2021, we went through three or four different iterations of the wedding plan due to the constantly changing restrictions. Alyssa took every single modification in stride, quickly adapted the plan and schedule, and provided amazing recommendations and creative ideas to help keep our guests entertained during a more restricted wedding.

The day finally arrived and it was more than I ever could have hoped for. I wasn’t worried about a single thing and was able to fully enjoy the wedding day. Alyssa had taken care of all logistics, planning, coordination, and décor that was needed (which was a lot!). Without her, I would not have been able to fully enjoy my wedding day. There are so many minor details that take away from being fully present, and not needing to worry about them and fully entrusting in Alyssa made my wedding day absolutely amazing.

Wedding planning is a full time job, and like many other jobs is best left to professionals. Alyssa is the most professional, organized, creative, thoughtful, kind and patient person, and truly owns the entire wedding planning process. I was so happy to have her at my side on my special day, and my wedding turned out as perfect as it did because of her efforts.”

“Alyssa put her love, thoughtfulness and care into ensuring our wedding day turned out as imagined. She has great communication and listening skills, of which worked to help execute our vision. Moreover, Alyssa gave us the autonomy to make our own decisions and stepped in as needed. From bringing our vision to life, to day of wedding coordination, Alyssa is a highly talented wedding planner who puts the needs of her clients forefront and is a dream to work with. Truly very blessed to have had the opportunity to work with her!”

Alicia + Josh

“We did things that weren’t as conventional: our processional (and last minute add ins to the wedding party), no formal picture time and a champagne toast during cocktail hour. Alyssa was open to every idea and figured out how to include it in a way that it would flow and ensured that it would be our best day; but also be an expression of who we were together, it was important to us to enjoy our day and be comfortable! She made what was in my head come to life. We didn’t have to worry about a thing and were able to enjoy our visiting family and friends the few weeks leading up to the wedding.”

ALIA + MATT

“Working with Alyssa for our wedding was such a great experience. Having Alyssa there on the day was the greatest peace of mind I could have ever asked for. Everything was incredibly organized and she was really a sense of calm for us throughout the whole day. Every single vendor that we worked with mentioned how amazing she was and how she was one of the best wedding planners they have ever worked with. She was so patient with me through the whole process and we couldn’t have asked for a better planner.”

 
 

Pacific Engagements helped us design and pull off a non-traditional reception layout, and truly made planning our wedding a stress-free experience.

“Working with Alyssa at Pacific Engagements truly was the BEST decision we made for our wedding! I knew early on I would need a wedding planner to help us in coordinating our dream wedding and was so happy that I found Pacific Engagements!

Alyssa is a class act - she is super professional, easy to communicate with, fast to respond and was just a dream to work with! I can't tell you how many times she has saved us during this whole process, offering her sound judgment and advice from her years of experience in the wedding industry. A day prior to our wedding day, we were contacted by the transportation agency we originally booked stating that the vintage car we wanted was not going to be ready in time for the wedding due to mechanical issues. I was devastated and super stressed out. Alyssa was able to come to our rescue and was able to connect with another agency and book us an even better vintage car than we hoped for! This is the type of dedication and service any bride/groom would want to have as a part of their wedding vendor team.

She alleviated so many of our fears/stress regarding COVID-19 concerns and was able to give us alternative options and ideas to make things run smoothly. On the day of our wedding, Alyssa and her team set up everything so perfectly and beautifully as I had envisioned for our wedding. She understood the vibe I was going for and executed it well, with little instruction. I know for a fact that without her help, my wedding would not have been what I envisioned it to be. If you are on the fence about booking with Pacific Engagements, don’t be and book ASAP! Thank you so much Alyssa, from the bottom of our hearts!”

 
 

We had MANY complications with our venue and Alyssa made sure we were understanding what was going on and helped us get things figured out. She made sure we had everything organized and that our vendors were always up-to-date. She made our wedding day so seamless, and we cannot recommend Pacific Engagements enough.

“Working with Alyssa at Pacific Engagements was absolutely amazing. As we started thinking about our big day, the thoughts of all the details we'd have to finalize started to weigh heavily on us. She not only helped us navigate all of the big and little details, but helped make sure the parties to the wedding (our parents) didn't have to be overwhelmed with decision-making or any work/preparations they didn't want to do.

Her confidence, grace, attention to detail, experience, and leadership serves her very well and I don't know how we would have done it without her!”

PAIGE + MAX

"All throughout the wedding, I heard from guests how much they loved Alyssa. She is sweet and personable, but also straight forward, keeps things moving and makes sure people know what to do - all with a smile and a sweet way about her. She helped us out immensely in the planning process - WE knew how incredible she was, but the fact that our guests and our families loved her and felt taken care of, made the day even better."

ALEX + EMILY

"Working with Alyssa was a wonderful experience, especially with us being out of the country during the entire wedding planning process! Alyssa helped us a lot with many of the design aspects of the event and worked with the location, florist, and other vendors to ensure that the day had the look and feel we wanted. She worked with us diligently to understand our vision for each step of the process. On the day, she was there whenever we needed her and orchestrated events to ensure they went off without a hitch! We received so many compliments from our guests and we both are so pleased with how everything worked out. We can unreservedly recommend Alyssa for all your wedding planning needs!"

 
 

Living out-of-state, we couldn’t visit Seattle more than a couple times before the wedding. Pacific Engagements designed, planned, and prepared everything we needed. You can definitely trust them to make your wedding everything you want it to be.

“Alyssa at Pacific Engagements was the best wedding planner and helped us create the most perfect day we could have imagined!

As one of the first couples amongst our friends to get married, we hadn’t been to a ton of weddings and weren’t completely sure where to even start with planning. Alyssa made things so easy for us with vendor recommendations, setting expectations, and checking in with us on a regular basis. We first met with Alyssa in June 2019 for our August 2020 wedding, however, in March 2020 we ultimately decided to postpone our wedding to September 2021 due to COVID-19. In a completely stressful time, Alyssa was a rock and so supportive! She helped us reschedule our venue and all of our vendors - luckily we were able to move everything to our new date with no issues. When we weren’t able to reach one of our vendors, Alyssa quickly stepped in, was able to contact the vendor and problem solve. Alyssa was always up to date on the ever changing COVID wedding restrictions, able to provide guidance and always so positive!

Our wedding day was absolutely beautiful and went perfectly. We didn’t feel stressed at all on our wedding day and were able to be fully present and enjoy the day with our guests. It was so nice not to have to worry about all the little details and logistics going on behind the scenes. We spent over two years working with Alyssa and it was so much fun getting to know her and planning our dream wedding. We could not have done it without her!”

 
 

Alyssa put so much work into researching and corresponding with vendors - making my vision come to life while making me feel at ease about everything from hundreds of miles away.

“Alyssa was incredible in the months leading up to our wedding, and the entire weekend of. She took every curve ball we threw at her in stride, and was such a joy to work with. Flexible, kind, utterly professional, enthusiastic, and super fun!

My husband and I didn't have a single care in the world on the day of our wedding thanks to Alyssa and Erika's professionalism and creativity. Our wedding weekend absolutely would NOT have gone off so well without Alyssa's help, and we cannot thank her enough for everything.”

JENNY + JAKE

“Alyssa was very professional and helpful during the wedding planning process. She had great ideas and was very responsive to any question I threw at her. She made the wedding day seamless and took care of everything.

I knew I could trust her to get everything set up and displayed in the way I wanted while also making game time decisions that reflected our style. We are so appreciative of Alyssa for her time and attention!”

 
 

Pacific Engagements never forced any of their opinions or suggestions on us. They guided us so that our wedding day was what WE wanted, but also provided insights that made our lives easier. they always made sure we were comfortable and happy with all decisions being made.

“Alyssa was simply amazing from the very beginning, and she was able to get us to our literal DREAM weekend.

After being a part of so many weddings that had last minute tasks thrown onto the wedding party or something fall through because there was no time for it, our main goal was to simply allow our guests to enjoy the day. Alyssa pulled this off spectacularly, so much so, that the one of our biggest issues during the week leading up to the wedding was that we simply did not have any tasks to give our wedding party to do when they asked!

Oh, and by they way, this all happened during the pandemic! While we were lucky enough to pick a date that did not end up being adjusted, Alyssa helped us coordinate the ever changing landscape of restrictions, which changed at least 10 times in the 2 months leading up to the wedding. She literally became our brain during this entire time, and I know we could never have accomplished this without her.”
