I would work with Erica Thimsen and Helping Hands Parties & Weddings again in a heartbeat! Everyone in our families lives at opposite ends of the country -- my daughter and her fiance in NY, me in CA, bridesmaids and groomsmen scattered across two continents... the wedding to be held next to a lake out in the middle of Alabama. A challenge, to say the least! But our daughter's dreams of her glorious wedding day became a reality with Erica's attention to detail, her endless energy and insight, and her personal caring. While based in Huntsville, Erica's sources and resources extend far beyond the local environs. She provided us with topnotch options for rentals, vendors, traditions and more, accommodating our venue which was nearly an hour outside of HSV. Her recommendations truly shaped our entire weekend, leaving us all with beautiful and loving memories which we will forever treasure. The planning along the way was meticulous and reassuring. Erica's accurate timelines and scheduled reminders of what-needs-to-be-done-by-when gave us a welcome structure that took the guesswork out of staging an event of this size. And when unexpected surprises invariably arose, Erica tackled each problem with her calm and resourceful ability to "pivot". We thank our lucky stars to have found "the best in the biz", when we engaged this lovely person as our wedding planner. All I can say is: Erica is a godsend!

Hi! I'm Brooklyn - the owner! I'm 22 years old & happily married to my best friend, Michael. Traveling is a huge part of our lives, WDW is our happy place, & our next adventure is never far away.

Avenue Design Studio - Wedding Planning 

5.0

  • Offers 6 services
  • Starts at $250
  • Serves Brownsboro, AL

At Avenue Design Studio, we began as a floral business, but quickly realized we could offer so much more to our clients. Over our 10+ years of working with couples on those special lifetime moments, we found ourselves stepping in to assist our brides and event clients with planning, vendor coordination, and overall event management. This inspired us to shift our focus and create Avenue Design Studio, a full-service event planning and design company. Whether you’re looking for full-service planning or just need assistance with specific aspects, we provide multiple packages and a la carte options to fit your needs. You dream it, we create it.

From start to finish working with Avenue Design Studio was a fantastic experience! I had an initial call with Chad and based on that I knew they were professionals who could bring my vision to life through floral design and day of coordination. Then they continued to provide clear and open communication throughout the planning process and were able to make suggestions as needed to advance my vision. The week of the wedding I was in contact with Morgan who would be our official day of coordinator. Morgan ended up saving the day when our bartender cancelled on us last minute; she stepped in and bartended on top of coordinating. Then she was able to work with me to donate our flowers to a women’s shelter; a cause that hits close to home for me. I cannot recommend Avenue Design Studio enough!!

I worked with Brittany from The Venlist on a series of styled shoots in Washington, DC. I can't say enough good things about this virtual wedding planning business. Brittany was organized, thoughtful, timely in communication, professional, and extremely calm under pressure. As a wedding photographer, I've worked with many wedding vendors and can recognize when an event is set up for success. Successful wedding planners need skills in time management, communication, and attention to detail. With The Venlist, all of these areas exceeded my expectations. I'd be happy to work with this business again, and I will be recommending them to my friends/clients in the DMV area. Do yourself a favor and reach out to Brittany with your business inquiry!

I used A Rae of Light for my June 9 wedding and she was wonderful! I hired her partial planning service and it ended up being exactly what I needed, as a fairly self-driven type A bride who did not live in the city (Birmingham) where my wedding was happening. Raven served as essential eyes and ears throughout the process. She had great recommendations for venues and vendors, and was able to use her connections to get some discounts and deals for us, which as a budget-conscious bride I really appreciated!!! She also gave us a great recommendation for our afterparty, and was extremely patient as I went back-and-forth on whether to implement our heat plan (ended up going with our Plan A and it was beautiful!). Most importantly, she communicated well with us and helped implement our vision for what we wanted for the wedding rather than imposing her ideas. The wedding day was amazingly stress-free and it was all because of her! I highly highly recommend working with her!
