Testimonials
Alyssa and her team are without a doubt the best in the GAME! From our introductory call to when we left our wedding at the end of the night Alyssa was there with me every step of the way this past year and a half. She's a rockstar, and she executed my alternative, moody, non-traditional yet classy and upscale NYC wedding perfectly to a T. She was more than just a planner, she became a friend and confidant, and I'm going to really miss her trying to keep me on track now. Alyssa saved us so much money, time, and stress by negotiating and handling so much for our wedding it allowed us to truly relax and enjoy the day. She kept me calm and on schedule day of and made sure the wedding went off without a hitch. She is incredible and I highly highly recommend her to any couple in need of a planner.

“I have been working with Alyssa on corporate events for my bank since she was just starting Alinato. She surprised me then with her professionalism and work ethic and through the years she has only perfected herself. She is very dedicated and continues to deliver stellar results. All my events were full of happy guests and she REALLY knows her way around food recommendations. I will continue to work with her until she tells me she is retiring.”

Corporate Events | 2012-2022
Alyssa and her team helped me pull off the wedding of my dreams! I hired Alinato as a partial planner and Alyssa helped connect with various vendors (DJ, bubble tea, catering, rentals) to build a perfect wedding. On the wedding day, everything ran so smoothly and I didn't have a single worry - I loved being able to just enjoy my wedding. Alyssa and her wonderful assistant handled all the setup and keeping us on schedule. Highly recommend Alyssa and Alinato for your event planning needs!

Wedding | Summer 2022
Kind of cannot believe I am finally married. Alyssa and her team seriously made the last 1.5 years so easy for us. The day of the wedding she was seriously amazing. I know she was dealing with some tough things for us but I felt super shielded from the headaches (which I found out after the fact and was super annoyed at other vendors over but story for another day!) Everything went off without a hitch and we had no idea! Outside of that all the planning for over a year was super seamless. I looked forward to getting all our recommendations it was the easiest process ever! Thank you from the bottom of my heart seriously!!!

Wedding | Winter 2022
At first we didn’t think we needed a wedding coordinator, we thought we had everything taken care of but after some suggestions from others, we decided to inquire about a coordinator. After speaking with Alyssa from Alinato, everything just became easier. I don’t know how else to describe it - our list of stressors quickly went down to zero. We knew we were in good hands and the day of coordination was so amazingly smooth. I could not recommend Alyssa and her team enough!!
