Eventful by Alexa

Hi there! I’m sure I can guess why you’re here right now…you’re engaged! Ahh, Congratulations!! I bet you’re on cloud 9 right now, so soak it all in because that is where I want you to stay throughout your entire wedding planning process. 

Eventful by Alexa is a full service event planning and design company based on Long Island, New York. We specialize in social event celebrations, weddings, corporate and non-profit events and have been planning unforgettable occasions since 2020. The company’s creative direction is led by none other than the born & bred hostess herself, Alexa. Eventful by Alexa has rapidly grown into an event experience company that has gained the trust of our clients across the country. Through timeless and creative design concepts, technological innovations and an immersive guest experience, we have transformed more than 200 events into unforgettable experiences.

I decided to wiggle my way from strictly social events to weddings because let’s be honest- I love, love. 

I’m not going to lie, I get a little teary eyed during every rehearsal. Every single love story is so different and beautiful, and unique in its own way. I love learning about my couples: their likes and dislikes, how they met, their favorite places to vacation. All of it. I love how you welcome me into this process with open arms to create magic for you. And I love how your eyes light up when you look around to see how it all came together. Knowing that I was lucky enough to be a part of your life’s most precious moments, brings me gratitude that I will never be able to express enough. 

My favorite memory was a reception room reveal that left not one dry eye in the place. We fully planned and designed a wedding for our couple within a span of 5 months and it was nothing short of beautiful. Seeing the couple and their parents walk into the reception tent to a perfectly customized design was such a heart warming moment that I wil never forget. The gratitude and appreciation they had brought tears to my entire team's eyes. Those are some of the most beautiful and intimate moments we have with our couples and it means the world to us.

Innovation and customization are my specialties. I love learning about your love journey, your favorite places to visit or where you love to eat, and I love implementing every little detail into your wedding in a seamless and beautiful way. After all, this is YOUR wedding!

We are not bound to industry trends or "the norm". We pride ourselves on listening to our client's wants, dreams, desires, and expectations, to deliver an event concept that is uniquely and perfectly their own. Our founder Alexa, sets herself apart from the rest with her knack for a deep understanding of what our clients want before they are able to put it into words themselves. Each and every event, regardless of scale or size, is planned and designed with precision and dedication. The Eventful planning journey is curated to give you peace of mind so you can be present in each minute of the beautiful memories you will make.

My name is Alexa, hence "Eventful by Alexa". But it didn't always start out that way... 

I started this company in August of 2020, and you're probably wondering “how in the world did she start a wedding planning company in the midst of a pandemic?!”. Well, I didn't. I am not, nor have ever been good at "sitting still and doing nothing". I love to create beautiful things, but more importantly I love to create beautiful moments. Once called "The Boxed Party" I created custom DIY set-up party boxes with every bit of decor you could imagine for any theme, so that no event during such a difficult year went without a celebration. I like to think that is where my out of the box creativity and problem solving skills really came about. It is all about being able to pivot, and I am quite the master at it!

Q: What wedding services do you offer?

A: We offer full service planning, partial service planning, wedding day management, event design services and social event planning. 

Q: What does your “day of” or “month of” coordination package entail?

We don’t particularly  like the term “day of” or “month of” coordination. I follow a strong philosophy that you shouldn’t be worrying about wedding details 2 weeks before your wedding. Our coordination package is different because I step in 3 months prior to gather your vendor information, create your timeline, etc. That way the last week of your wedding you can relax.

Q: What does “off-site” mean, and how does it differ from the other packages?

An “off-site” venue is a space that you pay a site fee for rather than a price per person. This means that you are paying to rent the space and the amenities the space has to offer. Although you have to hire a caterer and staffing, bartending and tableware separately, and sometimes even your furniture rentals. Off-site events also include backyard weddings. 

These types of events require much more detail and our involvement earlier on in the planning process to ensure all of your venue requirements are met. Due to this higher level of involvement and responsibility, we will only provide full and partial service planning for all “off-site” events. 

If you follow me on Instagram, you know I am quite literally obsessed with my dog. I have been a vegetarian for 12+ years, and have an undeniable love for animals. Some of my favorite hobbies are exploring new places, reading a good book, and of course shopping! When I’m not in the office, you can usually find me exploring the North Fork, or soaking in the sunshine somewhere with a cup of coffee in hand. On the weekend's when we aren't planning events, you can find me going to a NY Knicks basketball game- big sports fan over here!
