I have worked with AkHappenings multiple times throughout the last year and I am not kidding when I tell you, she is worth her weight in GOLD! Her attention to detail is unmatched. Her communication is always clear and collaborative. You will not regret hiring AkHappenings for all your wedding planning needs. Your family, friends, partner and fellow wedding vendors will thank you!

Above and beyond to help our day go smoothly

Our wedding day would not have been the same without Jordan! As out-of-towners, we were nervous about finding the right venue, vendors, and pricing without being able to meet anyone in person. Jordan helped plan all of this and the rest of our big day from over 4,000 miles away. She was able to give us honest recommendations on venues based on our vision and personalities and her connections in the Alaskan wedding network allowed us to have plenty of vendors to choose from. Throughout the planning process, Jordan was a calming and encouraging presence. She answered all of our questions, listened to all of our worries and helped us problem-solve the few times we needed to. We had a bartender fall through shortly before our wedding and Jordan was able to connect us to a new vendor on very short notice who was phenomenal. As our wedding day got closer, Jordan went above and beyond to help our day go smoothly - picking up rentals, staying longer to help breakdown, etc. We are forever grateful to her for helping our dream day come true. Also just to note, she helped us plan our wedding WHILE PLANNING HERS and still managed to make our day go off without a hitch. If you're on the fence about hiring someone, we couldn't recommend Jordan more.

Jordan was a dream to work with! She made our vow renewal day so special and everything we dreamt of came to life with ease through her planning. I would highly recommend her! My favorite moment from the day was our intimate dinner for two which Jordan made so beautiful and special. You won't regret booking her and having zero worries and a perfect wedding day!

AK Happenings was an amazing wedding planner who helped make our special day everything we dreamed of. Their communication was top-notch - Jordan responded lightning fast to all of my questions, no matter how small. She offered fantastic advice that kept things running smoothly. Jordan helped ensure all the decor and details were set up perfectly to match our vision. She was also the point person for all our vendors leading up to the big day, fielding questions so we didn't have to worry. Jordan’s coordination efforts were invaluable in allowing us to truly enjoy our wedding. From start to finish, she made the planning process easy and stress-free. We'd recommend AK Happenings' services in a heartbeat to any engaged couple looking for a planner who will make their wedding dreams come true.
