    Weddings with Athena was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding reception. From the beginning, Athena's communication was timely, professional and clear, putting us at ease throughout the planning process. Her team's work ethic was excellent - they were punctual, flexible and proactive in listening to our needs and bringing our vision to life with care and precision. Athena's warm and professional demeanor made our wedding reception experience effortless and stress-free. We couldn't have asked for a better experience, and we are so grateful to Athena and her team for helping make our special day truly magical. Thank you Weddings with Athena!

    We had the pleasure of working with Athena, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. I found the wedding planning process to be so stressful, not as blissful as some may say, but thankfully I had Athena to help guide me through so many decisions and vendors. Not only was she helping me plan, she became a good friend in the process. Day of, she and her team helped coordinate the entire day throughout multiple venues and made sure my husband and I were solely focused on enjoying our wedding day. They decorated amazingly with DIY decor I bought, and treated us like royalty and made sure things went smoothly from start to end. To say they were helpful is an understatement. I’m so happy we got to work together, and so thankful they made our day as special as could be.

    I work at a wedding venue (Paradise Ballrooms) and I had the pleasure of working with Athena on a wedding that we hosted. I cannot recommend her enough! From start to finish, she was an absolute joy to work with—always professional, kind, and incredibly organized. Her attention to detail was truly impressive. She anticipated every need, stayed ahead of the timeline, and ensured that every aspect of the event was executed flawlessly. She created such a warm, inviting, and stress-free atmosphere that the clients were able to fully enjoy their special day without a worry. It was clear that she put her heart into making their vision come to life. Beyond her expertise, what stood out the most was her positive attitude. No matter what came up, she handled everything with grace, enthusiasm, and a smile. She was always available to answer questions, offer solutions, and keep everything running effortlessly. The clients absolutely adored her, and it’s easy to see why. Any couple would be lucky to have Athena by their side, and I truly hope to work with her again in the future!
