Parties A’La Carte Wedding Reviews

As anyone who has planned a wedding knows, there are so many things you have to think about and a ton of decisions to be made. We wanted someone who could guide us through the wedding planning process and present us with the best options from which to choose. We also wanted someone who we could trust to have our wedding go off without a hitch.

Parties A’La Carte was amazing at both. They found the right vendors for us, and our wedding day was nothing short of perfect! Other people we know used Jessica and loved her just like we did. She and her team are amazing at what they do. I would highly recommend them to anyone who asks.

I wanted someone organized, with excellent knowledge of the venues and the ability to offer ideas/opinions based on experience.

Parties A'La Carte was the only recommended planner from both the church and the reception site! Since they came so highly recommended, it was almost a no brainer. Jessica and her team at Parties A'La Carte did not disappoint. They took my vision to the next level with everything from concept design to guest experience. Not only were they amazing at building the concept, but they are also incredible executers. I never once stressed about any of the details coming together because I knew they were on it. On the day of the wedding, my husband and I joked that we felt like celebrities because our “handlers” were always right there to get us whatever we needed: a fresh drink, a change of shoes, an excuse to escape a particularly chatty guest; they thought of everything and executed flawlessly.

I looked at reviews and went off a phone conversation. If I got along with them on the phone call and first meeting, I knew it would be a fit.

Jessica Ralph was the most informative, knowledgeable, and hard-working planner I spoke to, and I knew she was the one I wanted. I have nothing but amazing things to say about Jessica and her team at Parties A' La Carte.

They make you feel included, which I loved, and we were even able to be hands-on by sealing all our invitations to the guests. Her team members came to our home and helped show us the ropes. Each person had their job to do, so the process moved smoothly.

We wanted someone who could be a month of coordinator. We had done a lot of the planning of finding vendors during the lockdown, and thankfully, we were able to keep them when we decided to postpone our celebration. We needed help with just the finishing touches and the execution.

After meeting with Jessica and McKenzie at Parties A La Carte, we knew they were the right choice. They listened to everything we wanted and offered help when I needed it. They made our day go perfect, and they brought our vision to life. It was a dream of a day!

We were referred to Parties A’La Carte by my mother-in-law who had full confidence in her from working with them for my sister-in-law’s wedding.

Parties A'La Carte came highly recommended. We wanted true professionals who would take away all of the stress that a wedding can bring upon an engaged couple. They not only helped in that aspect, but they brought so many different elements into our wedding that we would not have been able to imagine on our own. We had total trust in our wedding planner, and she exceeded all of our expectations.

Someone who has a reputation for excellence and a portfolio of exceptional events.

All of the reviews highlighted Jessica and her team’s attention to detail, which was important to us given we weren’t able to be physically present for most of the planning process. We also appreciated how they leveraged their years of experience in the industry to help inform our decision-making. One important note is that we hired Parties A’La Carte before COVID hit, and we could not be more impressed with how they navigated all of the considerations that came with our wedding happening in the middle of a pandemic. The confidence they provided, along with important ideas for safety measures to take, helped to reassure us and mitigate the incredible amount of stress that we felt with the decision to stick with our original wedding date.

We looked for a team that could really capture our vision.

We chose Parties a la Carte because of their previous work we had seen on social media and in wedding magazines, and it was a great fit. They also helped plan my sister and her husband's wedding. They are very accommodating and totally captured our vision. They are on top of everything and always there whenever we had questions or concerns.

I am very detail-oriented and wanted to be active in the wedding planning process, so I looked for someone who worked well with me and understood my personality. I wanted someone with a lot of experience in Tampa events and vendors. It was also important to me to be present at the wedding. I wanted to be able to release everything and needed someone I could trust to take the wheel.

My maid of honor used to work as an event planner at Parties A’La Carte (PALC), and so I had a personal relationship with Jessica and her team. I have also attended weddings of friends who used the services of Parties A’La Carte, and it was a no-brainer for me.

Weddings can feel like chaos, but I can say that because of the amazing ladies at PALC, we both got to be present and enjoy every minute of our wedding. They made the planning process seamless. The greatest compliment I can give is that I did not have to ask one single question all day. They were on top of every detail and executed the wedding of my dreams. We hired them for the partial package, and my only regret was that I didn’t hire them sooner for the complete planning package! Jessica and Kelsey at Parties A’La Carte went above and beyond to make sure that I was able to be fully present. It is amazing to watch them work, and I owe my wedding experience to PALC. Their experience and knowledge of weddings are unmatched.

I wanted someone who has unique and creative ideas with an awesome personality who I could trust throughout the planning process.

I found my wedding planner Parties A' La Carte from Marry Me Tampa Bay, and it just took off from there. I hired Parties A' La Carte after reading tons of excellent reviews and checking out multiple articles they have been featured in.

Every one of them was the most elegant, unique wedding I have ever seen. I knew from that moment they were exactly who I was looking for. I can't thank Parties A' La Carte enough for their exceptional service throughout the entire planning process. The communication is A+.

I really enjoyed meeting all of my potential wedding planners. I was looking for someone who was confident in what they do and someone who could guide me and see the direction I was going in before I even knew where that was.

With the help of my Dad, I interviewed several wedding planners. As soon as my father and I met Jessica, we knew she and her staff at Parties A’La Carte were the best for us. I can’t describe what I want, but I know what I want when I see it, and Jessica immediately sensed that and was ready to help me through the process.

Once we booked the venue and the band, my mom and I were pretty overwhelmed with the search for vendors. We both work full-time so we needed someone in the Tampa area that knew reputable vendors and could get the vendors booked.

My mom had the initial conversation with Jessica of Parties A' La Carte. She was very impressed with her expertise from the first conversation. We can't say enough good things about them! The team is incredibly effective and efficient. They created our budget and stayed within the budget while making my exact vision come to life. Once we began working with Parties, the process was completely stress-free.

I wanted reliability in a wedding planner and openness to new ideas as things changed constantly with COVID.

Parties A'La Carte did a phenomenal job. They turned our backyard into a jungle oasis. With the help of our planner and all of the vendors, we made what was looking like a backyard barbecue into a simple but beautiful and intimate wedding. We couldn’t have been more pleased with how the entire day went. They set the mood perfectly!
