I work as an Event Sales Manager at a high-volume venue where I work with many planners. Phoebe Allen makes the entire process seamless, enjoyable, and fun. Phoebe was incredibly organized, professional, and responsive. She kept communication with her couple streamlined, always responded to emails in a timely manner, and made sure I had everything I needed from the venue’s perspective well in advance. That level of organization makes such a difference when you're working in a fast-paced environment! It was such a pleasure working with Phoebe, and I would absolutely recommend her and the AE team to anyone looking for a planner. If you work with AE you will be in great hands!

I absolutely loved working with Phoebe and the AE Events team! As a wedding vendor, working alongside a planner who is organized, communicative, thoughtful, and genuinely kind makes such a difference, and AE was all of those things.
Their team created such a calm, collaborative environment for the entire vendor team, even while managing a large-scale wedding with so many moving pieces.
It was clear how much care went into every detail of the day, and it was such a pleasure getting to be a small part of bringing it all together. I would work with Phoebe and the AE Events team again in a heartbeat and would highly recommend them to any couple looking for an incredible planning team!

AE Events helped plan a surprised birthday weekend for my husband's 30th. From start to finish they did not miss a thing, communication was easy and they were so responsive, their ideas were beyond what I could have ever thought of myself, and their productive of the event truly was amazing. There was also absolutely no stress for me, I got to enjoy the whole weekend because I knew they had everything under control. I could not recommend AE Events more, and will be using Phoebe and the team for all of our future parties.

I recently had the opportunity to work closely with Phoebe, Courtney, and their team on a large and very detailed 30th birthday celebration, and I cannot say enough about the experience.
From the planning stages through the final execution, their professionalism, organization, communication, creativity, and attention to detail were exceptional. This was an event with an incredible number of moving parts, vendors, last-minute adjustments, and details that all needed to come together seamlessly, and they handled it all with confidence, flexibility, and an amazingly positive attitude.
What impressed me most was that they didn’t simply coordinate the event; they genuinely cared about its success and about the people involved. When something needed to be handled, they handled it. When plans changed, they adapted. And when things became hectic, they remained calm, organized, and focused on finding solutions.
As an Estate Manager, I work with many different vendors and professionals, and I have very high expectations when it comes to communication, follow-through, and attention to detail. This team exceeded those expectations and was an absolute pleasure to work alongside.
The end result was an incredible and memorable weekend for the family and their guests, and that doesn’t happen by accident. It takes an enormous amount of work behind the scenes, and Phoebe, Courtney, and their team were a major part of making it all happen.
If you’re considering hiring them for an event, I would recommend them without hesitation. They are the type of team you want beside you when the details matter and you want your event done right.
Five stars and very well deserved.

I first met Phoebe at Engage! Summits back in 2024, and we’ve had the opportunity to stay connected through local WIPA and industry events ever since. It was so special to finally have the chance to work together on such a truly epic event!
AE Events' creativity, attention to detail, and execution were unmatched. Every element was thoughtfully considered, creating an exceptional experience not only for the guests, but for the creative partners involved as well. We especially appreciated her guidance and collaboration throughout the process - she made an incredibly ambitious event feel seamless from start to finish.
We absolutely loved working alongside Phoebe and her team and can’t wait for the opportunity to collaborate on future projects!
