I thought I (ALL CAPS THERE!) was a perfectionist until I met Allie LeBon. If you're thinking "is this worth it?" or "do I really need a planner?" or even, "I can do this all myself." ...you maaaybe can, but if you want your day to be utterly spectacular - hire Allie. I can't stress enough the importance of hiring someone like her. Our entire day was magic because of her and her CityLux team. We started out our journey with a clear goal, but it all felt a bit daunting. Allie was with us from start to finish (top to bottom planning and day-of!) and made every step along the way incredible. She was prompt, professional, honest, and kind. It's hard to find vendors that are as "on their game." There were times that we were completely at a loss for what was next and she always communicated with clarity so we felt comfortable and prepared to make decisions. There were sooooo many details only she could have thought of. Just when you think you have it figured out, there are 3 more things Allie was thinking of. I constantly said, "oh wow.. I didnt even think of that." Like coordinating bus routes and timing that out... no thank you! We felt like it was all under control because of her meticulous documentation, flawless communication with our other vendors, and emergency plans she put in motion behind the scenes. MOST importantly, she makes sure you can focus on your day and nothing else. From the napkins, to the placecards, to our grass wall, to our place settings, to the drink signs, and everything else in between, it was all so complete and I wouldn't have changed a thing. Not to mention, she professionally vetoed some of our ideas, and finding someone who knows what's realistic and what's not is hard to find. I've recommended her to ALL my friends and every time I get rave reviews. Don't go it alone throughout this process. Go with Allie and go with CityLux! PS: The picture you see with our reaction was exactly the moment we saw our vision come to life at the reception. Speechless.

Transformed our entire wedding planning experience

Allie and the CityLux team transformed our entire wedding planning experience! From the start, we were anxious and completely overwhelmed by decisions, but Allie’s guidance and expertise quickly changed that. She expertly helped us navigate our options, always considering our vision and budget. She was great about letting us as a couple deliberate before weighing in. She also frequently introduced us to ideas we hadn't considered, carefully presenting them in a way that made us feel empowered rather than overwhelmed. Her honest insights about our budget were invaluable, helping us make realistic choices with confidence. As our wedding day approached, Allie’s support and warmth became even more meaningful. She was always there to check in and calm any worries (which always turned out to be unnecessary), and her encouragement lifted us up every step of the way. On the day of our wedding, Allie was incredible! She flawlessly captured our vision, and her calm, cheerful presence kept everything running smoothly. Even when a last-minute catering issue arose, she handled it seamlessly, ensuring we could stay fully immersed in the joy of our day. We feel lucky to consider Allie not only our planner but also a friend. She, Sarah, and the entire CityLux team went above and beyond, making our wedding everything we dreamed of and more. We can’t recommend CityLux highly enough for anyone planning a special event!

Dream Wedding Coordinator

The best decision we made in our wedding planning, was hiring Allie as our coordinator. We had a very specific, unique vision for our day and Allie couldn't have done a more perfect job. Like any solid relationship, communication and honesty are key. There are a plethora of decisions to make in this process, and Allie always kept us updated and was never shy to share her honest opinion/feedback. She was always in our corner willing to handle any and every situation along the way. Walking into our ceremony and reception was like walking into our dream, but better. Thank you Allie for your patience, time, EVERYTHING! We love you!

Just, wow. Rachel. You and Joe are the reason we love what we do. Iconic is the BEST word to describe your wedding day. Thank you for taking the time to write such a thoughtful review. Words can't describe how happy it makes us. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU.

I can't say enough about this team! Best wedding decision my husband Brett and I made was to hire them on board to be our planners. I am a bit of a control freak and super picky, so at first I was not planning on hiring wedding planners because I wanted full control. They came recommended by a friend who knew them from an engagement shoot, and felt their personalities and experience would be a great match for us. One phone call later and I was all in - I realized how much I could benefit from them and make the wedding planning process so fun and enjoyable. We specifically worked with Allie who is amazing. She understood my vision and was SO easy to work with. The type of planners you want to be friends with and are as equally as excited for your wedding as you are! That was important to me. It's impossible not to love this team as they're all so kind, fun, personable, professional and get the job done so seamlessly. A true dream team!!! Allie is very organized, responsive, and gets to the point to get stuff done. She took on so many tasks and responsibilities, and always had an answer or solution to a problem. If we didn’t hear back from a certain vendor or get answers to certain questions in timely manner - she was persistent and got it done. Allie didn't skip a beat, she knew everything about the wedding day and how things were suppose to go - I felt at such ease knowing I had her and her team (and didn't have to rely on parents or wedding party for day of responsibilities) because CityLux truly did it all. I don't know how we could have done it without them. Our wedding day was so magical and went so smoothly. The whole team was running operations the day of - being everywhere at once, communicating with one another through their ear pieces, and going above and beyond for a perfect day to make sure everything was exactly how we wanted. I didn't hear of any mishaps because they handled all the chaos and ensured Brett and I were having the best time and not having to stress about anything. The saddest part of wedding being over has been no longer working with Allie, Sarah, or their team! I want to plan another event just to be able to work with them again (which after a big wedding with lots of planning may sound crazy lol). Trust me, I may not have felt this way prior to having them, but after planning a 200 person wedding, with 10 vendors, and so many details - the most important vendor decision is your planner and I can’t recommend them enough!
