Best decision I made!
Andrea Leslie Weddings was the best! Originally, I didn’t think I needed a wedding planner. After booking a few of my major vendors and looking to the details, I quickly realized I needed help and guidance. During my first call with Andrea I knew it was the right fit. I was lucky enough to work with Katie, who answered unlimited calls, emails, and texts (even though I only had a month of planner) to guide me through the process. From room blocks, transportation, signage, lighting, invitations/menus, and all the details to make the day of flow, Katie was there every step of the way. I was able to have so much fun and really take it all in on the day of the wedding because of Katie. She coordinated with all of my vendors and the venue to make the day absolutely perfect. She even made sure the room I got ready in during the day was cleaned, with wedding cake, desserts, and champagne waiting for when us after the wedding. All of our family and bridal party commented on how professional, organized, and kind Katie was, and how smoothly the wedding day and reception felt because of her efforts. I cannot recommend enough! There is so much that goes on behind the scenes to coordinate a wedding, especially in the month leading up to it. There really isn’t a price that can be put on the value of having a planner that you can trust to help do the heavy lifting. Thank you to Katie and ALWE!!! -

Andrea Leslie and her team are amazing! Katie was our lead planner and went above and beyond with everything she did. Our entire wedding day was seamless and the entire process leading up to the day was so well organized. Katie was always available for a call and the entire team was so professional and responsive. I had 100% trust in them & did not have a single worry going into the big day. I highly recommend Katie, Andrea and their team! -

Mia S. Sent on 02/11/2023Andrea started as our planner, left as our true friend!
My husband David & I got engaged in May, 2021 and were immediately referred to Andrea by two different trusted sources. We met Andrea for coffee and looked no further! We knew Andrea would be our planner right then and there. David and I felt an immediate connection with her- she really listened to us and got to know us as a couple and individually. It is hard not to love her- she is positive, hard-working, family-oriented, comforting, creative, and has so much expertise in her area. We only had 9 months to plan our wedding. Initially, we worried that we would feel "rushed," but this was not the case. Using Andrea's computer system (called Aisle Planner), every task and to-do was simply and clearly written out. The tasks were separated "for her" and "for him," as well as by month, week, and day. This made the stress of planning a wedding feel less daunting. David and I felt accomplishment and joy every time we got to check off our to-do boxes! Andrea communicated with us consistently throughout the entire process- often late into the night! We always looked forward to our zooms with her, and to be honest are really missing them now that our big day is over. She always made us feel at ease- even when we felt behind. The referrals that she suggested were superb- not only the services provided, but the people behind them. We just got married in Sedona on February 4, 2023. Andrea and her assistants were by our sides whenever we needed them the entire weekend. If something was left at the hotel, it magically showed up to where it was needed at the venue (thank you Andrea & Angelica). Things were done way before we had to ask. Every moment was magic! The ceremony was sentimental.. the food was exceptional..no one left the dance floor! Many tears were shed in the bridal suite with Andrea--the amount of gratitude I have for her is overflowing. When we got back to our wedding suite at the end of the night (where the bridesmaids and I had gotten ready that morning), the mess that we'd left was gone and the room was immaculate (again, thank you Andrea & Angelica). All items left behind at the venue (phones, wallets, lipsticks, shawls, vow books, and more) were perfectly packaged up- no item left behind. Andrea's care for us was above and beyond. We miss her and are looking forward to getting dinner with her and her husband soon! Whenever we look back on our wedding day, we will always remember Andrea. We think the world of her! No one else should plan your wedding- Andrea is your planner! -

Evan H. Sent on 12/01/2022With Andrea we got to focus on making our wedding special, instead of drowning in todos
Working with Andrea and her team turned wedding planning into an experience my wife and I will cherish forever.
When we set out to plan our wedding for 150+ people, we were intimidated and confused how we could do it while working very demanding jobs. Andrea walked with us every step of the way, through tough decisions and flip-flopping over details. We loved our regular calls and brainstorming our vision with different elements. Andrea was always excited, organized with the important to-dos, and listened to the things we cared about. It truly turned a complicated process into tons of fun. Moreover, Andrea was exceedingly patient with us as we, being very detail-oriented, wanted to seriously consider every single decision along the way. Having Andrea's support and structure even allowed us to spend time being intentional about little things that made the wedding day more special than we could imagine. Planning with Andrea literally led to an absolutely zero-stress wedding day, which is a testaments to their expertise my wife and I were left laughing about how we were waiting for the stress of the day to kick in, but it never did. We are, truly, so thankful for the experience with Andrea and her team.

Working with Andrea to plan our wedding WAS A DREAM. She is an incredibly kind and genuine person who is an absolute expert in her field. Thinking back to when we looked for planners, we talked to a few and instantly felt a connection to her and knew we had to work with her and the team. She helped us find the perfect vendors to bring our vision to life, helped educate us and our family on the various steps and investment to expect, gave us guidance on best practices, and did so much we don't even know about behind the scenes that made it all appear so smooth to us! We had a blast planning our wedding with her, going to different appointments with her to look a florals, linens, walkthrough the venue, or just chat details over coffee. We also had the pleasure of Katie being our planner for our day-of and she was so wonderful, too! She made our wedding go off without a hitch; doing so many little things that meant so much like printing and putting our vows in our books, picking up specific cushions for the chairs we rented, and grabbing all the decor details from me to setup. We're so impressed by the entire team and couldn't be more grateful. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!! -

Ali S. Sent on 10/13/2022Excellent Experience!
Andrea and her whole team were phenomenal throughout our entire planning process, and wow, did they execute day of! They were able to keep things on schedule without being pushy and in the 1-2 weeks leading up to the wedding, I felt so relaxed knowing everything was organized and in great hands. All of Andrea's vendor recommendations were terrific and her communication with us throughout the whole process made it as stress free as planning a wedding can be. The entire day ran seamlessly and was exactly as we expected. If you're in doubt about hiring a planner, or between planners in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area, look no further! Andrea is truly the best :) -

Wonderful wedding planning
I loved working with Katie from Andrea Leslie Weddings and Events. As a meeting planner I really have an issue with letting go of the logistics and details. Because of Katie's experience and professionalism I was able to have the confidence to let it go and have an amazing night. Everything worked exactly as planned and it was a night my husband, my friends and family and I will never forget. It was flawless. Thank you! -

Things a wedding planner has to have: endless patience, ample connections, and unrelenting dedication. This is exactly what you get with an Andrea Leslie wedding.
Her reputation proceeded her. When the Arizona Biltmore staff heard we had the Andrea Leslie overseeing our wedding, they (1) had to double check and (2) followed up with the affirmation that we were going to be in good hands.
Andrea was incredibly attentive to our vision – details mentioned in passing were all accounted for.
Andrea was astutely observant – knew when to guide vs. when to lead discussions, and never once made us feel discounted.
Andrea was committed to US – first hand instances: fought through a bug the day before at the rehearsal and shook it off to be there with us on the day of, ran to the other side of the resort to sew back a button on a groomsman blazer, and gently stole us away from the cocktail hour so we may soak in the beautiful reception space ahead of it being filled with guests.
Most importantly, she cared. And knew how to care. At times, like a mom. Others, like a sister and best friend. And on the rare occasion, like a drill sergeant (the most pleasant one ever).
Andrea’s genuine emotional investment in you is what ultimately separates her and the Andrea Leslie team apart.
Please do not waste your time. The search should end with Andrea Leslie Weddings. Bar none. -

Olivia S. Sent on 07/24/2022Best Money We Spent
We couldn’t recommend Andrea Leslie enough if you are looking for a wedding plan to help with your wedding. We used Andrea Leslie’s month-of wedding planning package and it was the best money we spent on our wedding, hands down. Angelica was the planner we worked with – ask for her! She is the most down to earth, organized, supportive, and communicative individual you could ask to have helping at your wedding. Throughout the ups and downs of wedding planning, Angelica was there via email, text, or phone call to answer questions, give advice, and help manage the to-do list leading up to the big day. We really couldn’t have done it without her and the Andrea Leslie team on the day of our wedding. We can’t thank you all enough! -

Andrea and her team were absolutely amazing
Andrea and her team made our wedding dreams a reality. If you're looking for a wedding planner, look no further, Andrea is your girl! First and foremost throughout our wedding planning experience Andrea was so organized and always brought a sense of calm to our meetings. She was available to us 100% of the time, responded to emails very quickly and always answered all of my questions (there were so many). We couldn't have imagined our wedding day to be more beautiful than it was. Andrea, Angelica, Claudia and Mary were spot on with everything. Our wedding timeline that Andrea created was absolutely seamless and followed impeccably. We have gained a beautiful friend from this experience. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
Love,
Steph and Zach -

Arielle P. Sent on 06/16/2022Professional, kind, and versatile.
Our experience working with Andrea was wonderful. It was great to have someone in our corner who could break down all the choices that needed to be made into more digestible options. Andrea was professional, accommodating, and caring. I know for certain that her job is not an easy one, but she handled everything that was thrown at her with expertise and kindness. It was a local wedding for my husband and I, who are new to Arizona, but all of our family and friends are still back on the east coast. I was so grateful to have someone local I could count on when I felt overwhelmed and alone. I would recommend Andrea and her team to anyone looking for an Arizona wedding planner. -

Sanctuary Resort Wedding
We interviewed several full service planners before meeting Andrea and her team. After numerous interviews with planners across Phoenix and Scottsdale, all of which felt like business meetings, we finally got a chance to sit down with Andrea. Andrea was the only planner who asked about us; not one other planner asked about our story before all else.
We shared our budget, what we were envisioning for our wedding day, and what we wanted a planner to assist with. There was no selling by Andrea, their firm’s work speaks for itself.
After covering all the basics with Andrea, we chose to have one of Andrea’s lead planners and designers, Katie, be the mastermind our event.
Katie is extremely easy going, reliable, and thoughtful. She is truly able to design anything imaginable. If you want something at your event, they can make it happen. We let Katie take control of the planning; we trusted her abilities and decision making and she did not disappoint. If something we wanted sent us above budget, Katie had an equal or better alternative. She ran everything by us that we wanted to have input on, but giving her freedom to design and plan allowed our lives to continue on stress-free while every last detail of this event was being arranged and perfected.
As we neared the event, and on the day-of, every question/concern/need of ours was catered to. Andrea and Katie were able to align the our wants and needs with the venue, photographer, videographer, band, strings players, cigar rollers, and everyone else to make the day and night absolutely perfect.
The ladies had everything they needed and asked for on the day-of; same with the guys. We couldn’t have asked for a better team to make our dreams become a reality.
Event: Wedding (Planner: Katie)
Location: Sanctuary Resort. Paradise Valley, AZ. -

Lesley Sent on 12/09/2021Best decision I made
Andrea and her team are so awesome and so so nice! From start to finish they make the planning process so streamlined and easy. I worked specifically with Laina and I adore her. I tend to worry easily and she kept me calm and worry free throughout. I can’t even express how thankful I am for her. From the moment I woke up on my wedding day, she made sure everything was perfect. When I needed something, she had it. When I had a question, she already had an answer. My wedding day really was the best day ever and she had a huge role in that.Andrea Leslie Weddings & Events's reply:
Lesley & Mike!!
Thank you two for the most encouraging and kind words!! I am thankful for the extra time we had together and loved being a part of the planning! You two deserve the world and I am honored to have been a part in making your perfect day a reality! Wishing you two all the best!!

Jared B. Sent on 03/15/2022Best wedding coordinators in AZ. Period.
Andrea Leslie and her team are true professionals. They are easy-going, detail-oriented and they have the best vision for a perfect wedding, without being all pretentious about it!
The way they coordinated SO many moving parts to create a seamless full wedding was super impressive, unlike anything I have seen, and I provide audio for weddings weekly!
I teamed up with them to sculpt an absolutely stunning wedding and I would even say that AL and her crew are foremost in the Greater Phoenix area!

Erin O. Sent on 08/25/2021The BEST decision we made!!
Stop your search here - you have found the world's BEST wedding planning team!! We worked with ALWE for month of coordination for our destination wedding in Vermont in early August and everything about the experience was unbelievable. Andrea and her team are remarkably kind, thoughtful, detail oriented, patient, and consummate professionals. Andrea helped us plan and re-plan our wedding through covid, worked with our vendors -- handling communication and plans changing seamlessly, and helped make the day unbelievably special. I have now referred Andrea to three friends and said I would cut out flowers, decor, gifts, and so many other things from our budget just so that I could work with Andrea Leslie Weddings. There are so many things to consider when planning a wedding and Andrea made it so simple and organized for us to keep track of everything. She helped us navigate challenging family and guest dynamics when we needed the support, she communicated with guests about transportation, she managed our officiant, she made our families feel welcome and supported (and directed where needed). Andrea helped us think through photography in advance and coordinated all of the shots we wanted to have with our bridal party, family, and friends. On top of it all, Andrea is one of the kindest, most thoughtful, and wonderful people I've ever met. As a couple that did not have a clear vision going into planning, we were so grateful to have such a fierce and balanced advocate in our corner as we made decisions and communicated with our family and vendor team. We have gotten to know members of her team throughout the process as well and cannot speak more highly to everyone that works with Andrea! Hiring Andrea Leslie Weddings is the best choice we made throughout our whole wedding planning journey and I can't wait for you to have the chance to get to work with her! -

My wedding was a dream because of Andrea!
Andrea was an absolute dream to work with and the reason why my wedding was so beautiful and a blast! I never made pinterest boards or really dreamed about my future wedding, so I had absolutely no idea where to start. Thank goodness Andrea was recommended to me and that my first wedding related decision was the best one I made.
Andrea was so supportive, hardworking and extremely organized. Every meeting with vendors was efficient and I felt so confident in my decisions because of Andrea. My mom lives in a different state than me, and I felt like Andrea was my guiding "big sister" that just made me feel so sure about every decision that I made during the whole wedding planning process. I wasn't stressed and just felt like I could really enjoy being engaged, because my wedding planning was moving along, and I understood what was happening every step of the way.
Andrea was great during the wedding planning process, but she was perfection the day of my wedding. Andrea was right there doing all the things that I didn't even know needed to be done. Andrea and the amazing women on her team, were so helpful and lovely, and I honestly can't thank them enough for it. I stepped in mud while taking photos after my ceremony and Andrea was right there with wipes taking the brown stain out lol! I didn't even know it happened! Andrea was just in her element and really made my wedding so flawless. So many of my friends asked for Andrea's contact info after the wedding just because they saw her in action and were so impressed.
Andrea and her team are incredible and they made my wedding everything that my husband and I wanted it to be! Xx
