Parties A’La Carte Wedding Reviews

We wanted someone who was calm and knew how to take control. Wedding planning should not be a stressful process for the couple.

Jessica and the Parties A' La Carte team made the wedding planning process easy by sticking within our budget and creating the best time for us. They made the process very simple. They ended up being our heroes during the actual event and ushered us to and from formalities so that we got all the photos we needed or did not even know we needed.

We chose Parties A La Carte because my mother-in-law had worked with this company before on previous events. We are so grateful we trusted her judgment on this because Parties A' La Carte made the process very simple.

I wanted a wedding planner who was relatable, easy to work with, detail-oriented, and who would listen to what my inspiration was and be able to give input and enhance it.

Parties A’La Carte was a dream to work with, and they did an amazing job. From start to finish, it was perfect, thanks to them. They made the whole planning process through execution easy and stress-free.

“I wanted someone with experience and who understood my vision. As soon as I met with Jessica of Parties A'La Carte I knew she would be perfect because she had experience, and I could tell she could handle an extravagant wedding.”

“Honestly, I could kick myself in the butt for not hiring a wedding planner. So many people told me not to waste my money, that I could just do it by myself. So, I did. Big mistake! I needed someone to take my vision and execute it, and Parties a la Carte nailed it. They were worth every dollar spent. I had a few items remaining, some that I didn’t even know I needed, and the owner, Jessica, was literally able to solve all of it in one day with her contacts! My wedding threw Jessica and team many curve balls, and she caught them all.”

“Really not knowing the steps to planning a wedding can be stressful, but Jessica and Parties A La Carte did all they could to help every step of the way. They answered countless questions, and never made us feel like a burden. I really appreciate everything they’ve done for us! I couldn’t have asked for anything more, and we couldn’t have done it without them.”

“Since I was planning from out-of-state, a wedding planner was key. We didn't want to worry about the unknown. We also wanted to enjoy the process, so finding someone whom we trusted and would keep us on top of things was important. When you first meet Jessica and the Parties A'La Carte team, it is obvious they are experienced and will do anything to make the wedding of your dreams happen. They are detail oriented and will make sure you consider all the options (that you may not have even thought of before). Most importantly they took care of our guests and bridal party and made sure they were having fun and that the logistics and transportation were seamless. I can't imagine the day of the wedding without their team!”

“From day one, Jessica, the owner of Parties A'La Carte, helped me with everything I needed. I had known her for years, and when I saw the weddings and events that she and her team had done, I was immediately drawn to them. Their events were beautiful and unique, so I knew no matter what I had envisioned for my wedding, Jessica was going to make it happen for me. I hired them right after getting engaged, and from that moment on, the team went above and beyond to make my dream wedding come true. There would not have been a wedding if it weren't for them!”

“Parties A' La Carte was highly recommended by my venue. After seeing some of their previous weddings on social media and meeting with Jessica, I hired Parties A' La Carte for partial planning and day of coordination. Their service exceeded all expectations I had for a wedding planner. Jessica consistently made herself available during the wedding planning process to ensure the ceremony and reception design was perfect. I knew from day one of meeting her that she was passionate about her job and exceptionally talented, but the day of coordination services showed that Jessica and her team truly care about their client's happiness. Anything my husband and I needed on our wedding day, the Parties A’ La Carte team handled in five minutes or less! I could easily say the team went above and beyond for us. We have no idea what we would have done without them!”

“Jessica and her team at Parties A'La Carte made our day come to life and one we'll remember forever. Attention to detail was very important to both of us, and I also didn't want a group who commits to too many weddings a year. I wanted to know that my wedding planner would be focused on executing the day of our dreams!”

“Being in the industry for almost four years, I've seen a lot. Luckily for me, I've learned a lot too. When it came to planning our wedding, I knew what having someone there to ensure the day ran smoothly and stress-free was a #1 priority for us. Hiring Parties a la Carte was a no brainer. From start to finish, they were on top of every little detail.”

“Jessica and the team from Parties A' La Carte was by far the best decision I could have made. I could tell they were very organized and their personalities were definitely a team I could see myself enjoying working with. They were incredible! The number of hours they dedicated to our wedding was mind-blowing. Any time of the day or night we needed something, they were there. I would have truly been lost without them.”

Living in Washington, D.C., we knew we needed a wedding planner who was familiar with the Vinoy, as well as the local vendors. Jessica Ralph of Parties A’La Carte had done so many incredible weddings at the Vinoy we knew we needed her. She’s also very direct and honest, and that is something you need when you’re planning an event of this size and something both Nick and I really appreciate. There are so many decisions to make, so you need someone you can trust. Jessica showed up to our first meeting in a cute outfit with a great Chanel bag, so I knew we would get along great.

Parties A’La Carte went above and beyond for us. Some people would say I’m a perfectionist, and Jessica and Macie were able to provide me with the options and vendors needed to make sure everything was perfect. When there was a hiccup in the planning process, Jessica did everything possible to create solutions. I am convinced there is no one in the area with better connections. Jessica found the majority of our wedding vendors/ We’re from out of town, so we had to rely on her for her local connections, and she certainly delivered. It was so much fun working together.
