"THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THE MOST INFECTIOUSLY FUN ENERGY FROM THE MOMENT YOU ARRIVED."
Akilah and Co are the dream team of wedding planning! We decided on a London wedding and with traveling from the States, we knew we needed an expert! Akilah connected us with perfect wedding day vendors, touched base with all of them, and created a timeline that gave us such peace of mind. Her attention to detail allowed us to have the most wonderful, seamless day :) Thank you for bringing the most infectiously fun energy from the moment you arrived, we couldn’t have done it without you!

"THE PROCESSES AND INFRASTRUCTURE SHE HAS IN PLACE MADE IT SO EASY."
I don't have the words to thank Akilah and her team for stepping in with only three months to go and making the impossible possible. She was an absolute rock throughout and made our day even better than we thought possible. She put up with us still working like mad and not always being as available as we wanted to be and took a staggering amount of pressure off of us by sourcing and speaking directly to all of the suppliers. The processes and infrastructure she has place made it so easy to get everything planned out. I am forever grateful and still quite blindsided just how brilliant our day was - thank you, thank you, thank you!!
