Dear Alia,

I cannot thank you enough for all of your hard work and dedication to Morgan and me these past 13 months. Where do I even begin? You are truly an AMAZING PERSON .... the best wedding planner on this earth. You made everything so easy for us. From day one, you made sure every detail was taken care of....finding the vendors, making all the appointments, running errands, answering my many, many phone calls and emails..... and the list goes on and on! I have lost count on how many people called, emailed or wrote thank-you notes to us after this past weekend, saying this was the prettiest wedding they have ever attended. I agree with them - Morgan and Troy's wedding was absolutely beautiful! We are sad the wedding is all over with, but the memories you created for all of us will never be forgotten. I am so grateful for Hotel ZaZa's recommending you - You are an angel from above. Can't wait to do this again with Kaitlyn one day! You are a sweet, kind person and you will always be a special part of all of our lives. Please keep in touch!

Lots of Love,
Hydee Corbin (Mrs. C) - Mother of the Bride

Alia,

I just wanted to say that you've been truly amazing in the last few weeks...The stress has really been lifted off of my shoulders, and even though I've been away for the past two weeks, I feel that A LOT of progress has been made and am super-excited about our big day coming up! You've been so helpful!

Thank you!

Roxanne Murcia, Bride

Dear Dr. Kent,

Thank you so much for choosing La Colombe d'Or for Rebecca and Meng's beautiful wedding. I have never seen our Grand Salon and total venue look more spectacular.

You were absolutely delightful to work with, and I hope you enjoyed the evening as much as we did assisting you.

Selecting Alia from Belle of the Ball was masterful. She is one of the most professional women I have had the opportunity to work with, and I know she was ecstatic about working with you and your family.

I look forward to seeing you again soon. In the meantime, if you have any questions or if I can help in any way, please do not hesitate to call.

With warm regards,

Ed Bodde, Catering and Event Manager, La Colombe d'Or

Alia,

I couldn't have asked for a better person to help plan my wedding! You were always such a joy to be around and always genuinely so sweet. I just wanted to thank you for all you did and helping make this time even more fun!

Love,
Hayley Calhoun-Beauchamp, Bride

Dear Alia,

I can't think you enough for everything you have done for me during our "wedding planning months." You have been a Godsend in so, so many ways. But, most importantly, I gained a lovely and wonderful friend. May God shower you with blessings.

Love,
Roslyn Kavanaugh ("Mrs. K"), Mother of the Bride

Alia,

I just wanted to drop a note of thanks to you for all of the wonderful work you did for my brother and Reeta's wedding. It was absolutely amazing, and I know that everyone had a wonderful time.

If I know of anyone else in Houston getting married, I will be recommending you highly!!

Warm Regards,
Paige Sandbom, Sister of the Groom

Hello Alia!

I didn't get a chance to tell you before we left the wedding what an amazing job you did Friday evening for Bill and Reeta's wedding. It was absolutely beautiful, and I know you played a huge part in making it so. Thanks for all of your hard work and for being so lovely and pleasant to interact with during all of the wedding festivities.

You're wonderful!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Sincerely,
Amita Anderson, Sister of the Bride

Dear Alia,

Colin and I want to thank you for guiding us through our duties as parents of the groom. Your professionalism and support made this such a fun experience. Every detail of the rehearsal dinner, from invitations to flowers, music, table settings and food, exceeded our expectations. Working with you was truly a pleasure.

Fondly,
Susan and Colin Bell, Parents of the Groom

Dear Alia,

We appreciate your sharing in this special event with us and thank you for your help!

Best Regards,
Michael and Julia Tanner, Bride & Groom

Dear Alia,

What would we have done without you? You have done an AMAZING job making all this possible! And on top of it, you are a joy to talk to and be around! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Love,
The Clawaters, Parents of the Bride

Dear Alia,

We are still on Cloud 9. The wedding was perfect. Thanks for making this possible!

Love,
Jean Rose and Hollee Clawater, Bride & Mother of the Bride

Alia,

Where do I begin! Thank you so much for making my vision, dream and hopes for a beautiful and fabulous wedding come to life. ThereÕs not a thing we would have done differently except have time stop so we could all enjoy it a bit longer. You were absolutely amazing, gracious, and a beautiful friend to share it all with. I feel both blessed and honored that our paths were able to cross once again for this special day. It was so wonderful how you handled everything - with the grace, beautiful smile and wonderful heart that IÕve know you to have since we first met all those years ago. Thanks again for making the wedding so beautiful, stress-free and fun, fun, fun!

Please keep in touch!
Cheryl Janosov-Sherwood, Bride

Alia,

Thank you so much for all of your help (and expertise) with Bob and NatalieÕs wedding! It was such a beautiful event, full of cherished memories. I literally could not have done it without you, with me being Òout of town.Ó

Fondly,
Mrs. Toni Clark, Mother of the Groom

Dear Alia,

Ever since I was a little girl, I have dreamed of my wedding day. Thank you for making it more beautiful and perfect than I could have ever dreamed. I appreciate, more than you know, how organized, sweet, honest, fun, and on top of things you are. You made the planning process so enjoyable and stress-free. No detail was too small for you to consider and spend time on. I donÕt know what I would have done without you and cannot thank you enough for everything you did to make our big day picture perfect and truly a day we will always remember.

Love,
Diane Adler-Weinberger, Bride

Dear Alia,

I am so sorry that it has taken such an inexcusably long time to write you this thank you letter. I think IÕve been intimidated simply by the prospect of it - how do you thank someone in one measly letter for making one of the most memorable days of your life perfect? ItÕs an impossible task. My feelings towards you are indescribable - You single-handedly made my wedding so much better than I could have ever dreamed. I wish you could have been there every single time one of our guests told us how in awe of the evening they were. You deserve every bit of praise for it, because the wedding wouldnÕt have been a shadow of what it was without you. Not only did you plan a perfect night for Bob and me, but you were an absolute joy to work with every minute of the ten months we spent in the wedding pursuit. I canÕt begin to give back to you what you gave to me and Bob, but I hope youÕll let me try in the form of recommendations and referrals. Every girl I know who gets engaged from this point forward will be commanded by me and my mom to call you first thing. You are a truly fantastic person, Alia, and I feel so lucky to have met you and gotten the chance to work so closely with you and rely so heavily on you. I canÕt tell you how incredibly wonderful I think you are. Thank you for so selflessly devoting yourself to such an important time in my life. All my love, all my thanks, and all my blessings go out to you. I hope to be working with you again when my sisters get married!

Love,
Natalie Ashcroft-Clark, Bride

Dear Sweet Alia,

What can I say to tell you how much I thank you for all that you did for me, Laine, and the rest of the Kavanaugh Family before and during the wedding. I don't know that I could have done it without your professionalism, organization, bright smile, and positive attitude. I believe that the wedding was extraordinarily beautiful and very well orchestrated. You are a gem as a wedding planner and, more importantly, as a human being. I think that I am going to have withdrawal from our continuous contact. But we must keep in contact on a regular basis just to be friends.

Thank you for everything. I will truly miss you....

Alia,

I miss you!!! I think I am almost recovered. I am still tired and for some reason sound like I took up smoking when I talk. I am just so sososoososososo grateful for everything you did to make Natalie's wedding the most amazing day of all of our lives. We had SO MUCH FUN!!!!!!!! I wish Laura would hurry up and get engaged!!!! How lucky am I that I get to be involved in 5 weddings for my kids? and 3 girls!!! I cannot begin to tell you how many compliments we have received on the wedding. I have gotten dozens of thank you notes from people just absolutely gushing over every detail. Please, please, please use us as a reference.

Thanks again, from the bottom of my heart. It was a truly magical experience for all of us. You will be my very first phone call as soon as we have another engagement. Hope it's sooner rather than later, but probably in about 2 years. Keep in touch!!!

Love,
Mrs. Susan Ashcroft, Mother of the Bride

Aside from saying I DO to my wonderful groom, Hiring Alia as my wedding planner was the ABSOLUTE best decision I made throughout my 16 months of wedding planning. Her sparkling personality, attention to detail, and 'can do' attitude made her a joy to work with. She has great relationships with all the vendors and a deep desire to give each bride their dream wedding day! Alia truly made the entire planning process so much fun and stress free. All that was left for us to do was enjoy! Thank you Alia for making our wedding more perfect and beautiful than we could have ever imagined!

-Diane Adler Weinberger, Bride

Dear Alia,

I wanted to thank you for all of the nice things you did so I would have a beautiful wedding. It was stunning, and I could not have asked for a better planner. You have an amazing gift, and I canÕt express how appreciative I am.

All my best, and thank you again,
Claudia Ziegler Acemyan, Bride

Dear Alia,

Thank you for all you have done for our family to make this moment for Kate and Matt so special. We will miss you!

All our best wishes

Love,
DeeAnne and Anthony Gie, Parents of the Bride

Dear Alia,

We cannot thank you enough for everything you have done to help ensure the wedding is picture perfect. We truly appreciate all of your hard work, commitment, and attention to detail.

You're the best!
Love,
Diane Adler Weinberger (Bride) & Debbie Adler (Mother of the Bride)

Alia,

Writing this makes me sad because that means the wedding and spending time with you is over! You were much more than just our wedding planner, you became a friend and sounding board! You made our wedding perfect! Thank you for everything you did for us. The amount of work you put into our wedding was incredible. I didn't have anything to worry about the day of the wedding. You took such great care of us. I wouldn't change a thing about our wedding. The vendors you suggested were amazing and fun. Matt and I spent our entire honeymoon smiling and laughing about our wedding weekend, and we owe it all to you!

Love,
Kate Gie Williams, Bride

Alia,

I just want to thank you for all the hard work you did to make Courtney's wedding a success. I know it was your job, but you made it a wonderful night. I have had numerous comments on how beautiful everything was, and how smoothly it flowed. Courtney and I could not have done it without you!!!

You are a wonderful person and always have a smile on your face, which makes everyone feel so good. I would recommend you to anyone!!

Ann Redmon, Mother of the Bride

Dear Alia,

Thank you so very much for the perfect wedding that you've done for us! You are so, so great at your job! We love you and are so blessed to have you as our wedding coordinator!

Love,
Richelle & Jonathan Chavanne, Bride & Groom

Dear Alia,

There really is no way to thank you enough! You were always several steps ahead of Mom and me, and we knew we could trust you - so, we just had FUN! I am so grateful to you for letting us do that. You really are amazing at what you do. And on top of all of that, you're just a fabulous person and brought even more joy to Anthony's and my happiness. My whole family just adores you, and we're all sorry to be done working with you. Let's not be strangers! Here are some goodies to take tedious notes with at all your meetings - You are the Note-Taking Queen!

All my love,
Darcie Vlahos, Bride

Dear Alia,

Thank you very much for all of your help in preparation for and during our wedding. We couldn't have done it (as fabulously) without you!

Best,

-Katie & Matt Gallagher, Bride & Groom

Dear Alia,

Thank you so much for making our wedding plans so easy and enjoyable. The day would not have been as special and memorable without your kind and skilled help.

We received the pictures and we are SO pleased with everything! Thank you for helping me know what I needed to make everything as it should be. Your expert advice is evident in the pictures, and all would have been less special and less memorable without your excellent assistance.

Thanks again so much!

-Dawn Dittmar and Paul Sandel, Bride & Groom

Dear Alia,

Everyone associated with the wedding, including myself, are so impressed with you and your organizational skills. You really made my life so much easier.

-Shaunte Angelo-Lowrance, Bride

Alia,

I will forever be grateful for all your loving care that you gave all the Tippits, but mostly for the fabulous wonderful wedding of Abby and Matt. We're lucky to have such a ray of sunshine in our lives.

With all my love,

Lesli Tippit, Mother of the Bride

Alia Rdissi at Belle of the Ball is AMAZING! I work full-time for an extremely demanding company, and there's no way my wedding would have happened without her help. She was a joy to work with and made it all look easy. I knew that I could count on her for anything, and she went out of her way to do things that I know weren't a part of her "job description". If you want to have a fabulous event without the stress, Alia's your gal!

-Lindsey Fowler Harkness, Bride

Dear Alia,

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all you did to make Lindsey and Darren's wedding a dream come true. Our family and friends could not say enough nice things about the wedding ceremony or the reception. Hotel Derek was just fabulous. I know you were only doing your job, but you did it so beautifully and with such professional skill, that we felt on top of the world the entire weekend..

I am forever in your debt.

Sincerely,

Dear Alia and Lauren,

Thank you for making our dreams come true for our wedding! It really was the best day of our lives! We enjoyed working with both of you and look forward to passing your name on to other couples in the future.

Thank you for making Shelli's and my weekend so fab!! Words cannot express how wonderful it was.

-Kerry Pauly, Groom

Alia and Lauren,

Thank you for the wonderful job you did for Shelli's wedding. I was always worried about it being a home wedding, but with your help and patience, it was beautiful. I think everyone was being truthful when they told me how much fun they had.

Thanks again,

Dear Alia,

I simply cannot thank you enough for everything you did to make our wedding day absolutely perfect. We really could not have done it without you. It was truly a day the Tondu and Marr families will never forget.

Love,

Alia,

You were absolutely amazing and such a help to me and my family. You did everything I asked for and so much more. My whole family fell in love with you and my mother sends you many thanks. I hope you stay in touch and if you ever need anything please let me know. We will recommend everyone to you. Hugs!

Lots of love,

Dear Christine,

Please add my name to your list of big fans. Working with Alia to plan my daughter's wedding was the best decision I could have ever made. Besides being a joy to be with, her professionalism and attention to detail meant I could relax and enjoy the wedding with our guests.

I also lost a family bet. I did not think this family could do anything on time, but Alia had us lined up and starting down the aisle right on time - amazing!

I am fortunate to have two more daughters, and when another diamond appears, I know whom I will call first - Alia and Belle of the Ball.

Many thanks,

Dear Alia,

Everything was wonderful and you magically had it on time! I never would have believed it was possible for this family to do anything on time! Matt and Marissa had a wonderful time, as did we all. I was having so much fun it seemed like everything was going smooth as silk.

I have lots more to thank you for but after resting for three days (my kids called it crashing) I wanted to at least get a note to you to let you know how much we appreciate you.

You are wonderful,

Alia,

It was so much fun getting to know you. You have an amazing energy that is contagious. You did such an outstanding job with Dave and Lauren's wedding. My family had a great time Friday and Saturday. The cigar roller was certainly a big hit with those boys. PERFECT is all that can be said. Someday Emily will find someone we like and then we shall be calling the best wedding planner ever. Thank you, thank you for keeping us all organized and for helping us make wonderful memories.

Dear Alia,

There are few jobs on this earth more perfection-demanding and time-sensitive than yours, yet you did it all flawlessly with confidence and grace. Thanks so very much for making us (me) feel so happy and secure in our big event.

Alia,

On behalf of JP, my parents, and myself, we would like to thank you for all of the work you did to give us such an amazing wedding. We had the perfect night, and it was because of your help. Thank you and everyone at Belle of the Ball for being so amazing! We couldn’t have asked for anything more!

Dear Alia,

Thank you so much for all of your help in making our special day so perfect – We could not have done it without you! It was so nice to completely relax on the wedding day because we could trust that you were handling everything. Thank you for your attention to detail. We loved working with you – You are the best!

Dear Christine,

I’m sure you hear this all the time, but Alia and Becky were amazing to work with. I don’t know what I would have done without Alia. She is efficient, quick and professional at all times. My whole family fell in love with her and her work ethic. She is an amazing individual, and I know you are so thankful to have her on your team! She made our whole wedding experience one we will never forget! Thank you so much!

Hi Alia,

The comments received from guests Saturday night and co workers today have been wonderful! Everyone had a spectacular time. I received a phone call today from one of the groomsman's father today stating he and his wife have never had so much fun at a wedding. I thought it unusual for the dad to call, so that only shows how great it really was!

Meg and Cindy made a great decision to get you involved with the wedding. The mother of the groom is sometimes a hard place to be when a wedding is planned. You have always made me feel that I was a part of the "team," and for that I thank you! Phil & I know it was because of you that the whole weekend went as smoothly as it did. You have always been extremely professional and accommodating with every aspect of the wedding, starting with the bachelor party and ending with the Sunday brunch. It has been a pleasure to work with you and you will truly be missed by all!

Dear Alia,

I have attended many functions all over the world and I must say that the wedding and the reception for Matt and Ashley was one of the finest functions that I have ever attended. Our friends and family were in total awe at the organization and beauty of the whole event.

It was opulent and elegant without being pretentious or stuffy, and everyone that I spoke to had nothing but praise about this wonderful affair.

Thank you so very much and rest assured that we would recommend you and your company to anyone ever planning a wedding in Houston.

Alia,

I wanted to take this time to thank you so much for all of your help coordinating my wedding. It was even more beautiful and wonderful than I ever thought it could be! You were amazing with my family. I didn’t even know there were hiccups that day (like little Jon leaving his tux in Houston)! Again, thank you, thank you, thank you.

Dearest Alia,

The wedding honeymoon is over for the Herz/Promecene family, but the memories you helped create for us will last a lifetime! We all enjoyed the energy and oversight you brought to our very creative and opinionated group of wedding celebrants. With you as the final arbiter, we all feel in line and began marching to the same drum in sync!!

Our family had a fabulous time. Certainly our guests and even the Moody Gardens staff enjoyed the festivities. Thank you for your oversight and patience as we moved through uncharted waters.

It was absolutely fabulous, and the feedback has been so wonderful. We loved the support, care, and oversight you provided during the weekend and leading up to that special weekend experience. You did it so graciously. It was just beautiful. I am so happy you were assigned to us. It was a perfect match…Just perfect. Thank you for everything.

You helped to create wedding memories that we will all cherish for the rest of our lives and you will always be a special part of this reverie. Buddy, Chris, and Melanie join me in sending love and thanks for a perfect harvest moon fall wedding weekend in Galveston for Melanie and Chris.

Dear Alia,

I hope my blog readers and clients work with you in the future. You are by far the best coordinator I have ever worked with. I would love to work with you again!

Hi Alia,

The entire weekend was beautiful and fun, and it (for an event that seemed so involved) looked like it went flawlessly. Congratulations!

Dear Alia,

Thank you for being such an amazing planner and making my wedding so perfect. My mom and I are so grateful for your work and truly appreciate your attention to detail and follow-through – It kept our heads on!

Everyone commented on what a tough job you had and how you pulled it off so well….I am sure you will get some calls wanting you to plan.

You were so great to work with and I wish you all the best. Thanks again! You are the best!

Dear Alia,

You were great, and we thank you for all the things that went so well. Ginny was truly pleased and felt she had her vision magically achieved! We know how much hard work went into this magic!

Alia

You were great – Thanks for all your efforts to make it such a memorable event.

Alia,

Many thanks! You did a GREAT job!

Best!

Alia,

Thank you for all of your hard work

Alia,

Thank you so much. It was so much fun working with you. You are great at what you do, and I would not have wanted anyone else to help with this wonderful time in my life.

Thank you so much.

Alia,

As a guest, moving from each event during the wedding evening was so easy, and every detail seemed effortlessly complimentary. It is a true testament to a great wedding planner to tie all of those details together. Congratulations on a successful event!

Hope we are able to work together soon!
