Taylor Bates

Wow, where to start on how incredible Taylor with Alyson Taylor Events is. Taylor is one of the warmest individuals I have ever met. She is someone you meet and instantly want to be best friends with. Her value as a wedding planner far surpassed the typical job description. She was the perfect sounding board when I was overwhelmed or needed advice. She made me comfortable throughout the planning process and assured me that it would all be wonderful. She earned my trust and it was this trust that allowed me to not worry about the small details throughout the process and the day of the wedding. Taylor had her work cut out for her at our wedding. We made the call to not have a tent placed at our venue on the Thursday before our event, when there was only a 10% chance of rain. Well, it rained and then it poured. I was told by friends, the venue, and our caterer that Taylor set everything up for our reception with all of our details, pulled them back in when it started to rain, and repeated three times during the different downpours that occurred. Needless to say, nothing went according to plan. Through it all, I was comforted knowing I could turn to Taylor and she would take care of it. To say that Taylor is one of the hardest working individuals I have ever met, would be true, but it wouldnt paint the picture of what that really means. My dad said he has never seen someone run as fast as Taylor did when she would fly up and down the flights of stairs at Tredegar while contending with the weather on our wedding day. Because of the weather, we ended up only being at our reception for an hour and had a completely modified timeline, that Taylor created on the fly, but successfully managed all of our dances and cake cutting before the next downpour. We moved our reception from Tredegar to The Jefferson, through Taylor and our caters coordination. At the end of the night, my husband and I found 12 bags of food in our hotel room - it was all the food we hadnt been able to enjoy at our reception! Not knowing what to do with it, we ended up taking a field trip to our house and dropping it off. When we arrived at the house we realized that there had been much activity there as well. Taylor had orchestrated, with the help of our family, all of the unused beer and wine that we had bought for our reception to be taken back to our house. She must have been at our house until 1 or 2 in the morning getting it all unloaded because there was a dry spot where her car had been when we pulled up to drop off the food. What overwhelms me with this story is that at our brunch the next morning, hosted at our house, Taylor showed up and went to town with the beer and wine. She organized and labeled it so that we would be able to return the thousands of dollars in alcohol that hadnt been touched. She didnt have to do that, no one expected that of her, but I think it a true testament of what an incredibly hard worker she is.

Taylor is incredible! She is calm, kind, creative, professional, and so very organized! I had vague ideas of what I wanted, but no clue how to put them into action. She helped me come up with a plan and helped execute every step of the way. She was also great at coming up with special little touches that helped make things even more memorable. She was great at keeping the big picture in mind and paying attention to every detail. My whole family and bridal party absolutely loved her and found her so easy to work with. On the big day, she was a calming presence to have around, and was quick to keep everything running smoothly, so that my husband, my family and I did not have to worry about anything. Perhaps what was most impressive about Taylor, however, was that even through her impeccable professionalism and organization, it was undeniably evident how deeply she cared for my husband and me. She is an extraordinarily caring and genuine person and was a true gift to have around for wedding planning and for the biggest day of my life.

Working with Taylor was an absolute dream! Owning a business, working a full time job, and being in school, I knew I needed help to plan our wedding and Taylor was the perfect choice. She kept me sane and focused throughout even when our rehearsal dinner venue announced they were closing and we ended up with 10 inches of snow the weekend of the big day. Her eye for design, attention to detail, and creativity helped to inform and guide every decision we made with beautiful results. She made even the smallest of tasks like picking out napkins or designing place cards fun and engaging. I could not have nor would I have wanted to do it without her. We had the absolute best day in large part thanks to Taylor and I cannot say thank you enough for everything she did!

Our wedding was truly a dream come true and the best day of our lives and we owe so much of that to Taylor of Alyson Taylor Events! Taylor has an impeccable eye and attention to detail that you cannot imagine. I cannot count how many people told me, my husband and our parents that our wedding was the best wedding that they had ever been to! In fact, we had an outdoor tented reception on my in-laws property and all of their neighbors wanted to come and check out the reception because of how beautiful our tent was and how much fun it looked like everyone was having! I wish that we could go back to October the 15th over and over and over again!

Taylor made our wedding what it was, and it was incredible! She took our thoughts and ideas and designed a beautiful weekend that felt more like us than we ever could have hoped for. From coordinating multiple venues, to getting all the vendors on the same page, to the day of throwing a spectacular, seamless wedding, she was diligent and enthusiastic. Our guests had an amazing time, and consistently tell us that they felt so taken care of, and that we had thought of everything. Im so glad we got to work with Taylor!

I cant recommend Taylor enough. She was also prompt and would think of all the details (even the small ones that brides are prone to forget). Anything that you communicate is a priority will get done, and more. She goes the extra mile for her brides to get in touch with you, love on you and make sure that your day is exactly as you had planned. We are so so thankful for Taylor and all the ways she excellently executed what we desired for our day!

I had such an amazing experience working with Taylor and Alyson Taylor Events. Taylor made my sisters wedding unforgettable! She was meticulous in her planning and without her the day would not have run as smoothly as it did. Her out-of-the-box thinking and fun-loving personality makes for a wonderful party planner. Taylor comes HIGHLY recommended and we would not have chosen anyone else for my sisters big day!!

Working with Taylor for my daughters wedding was amazing. She is creative and extremely organized. For every decision we had to make she presented us with options while staying within our budget. Taylor is a joy to be around and I would recommend her to anyone planning a wedding or any other special event.
