Awarded Best of Zola
Choosing Joyfully Co. for our wedding planning services was the BEST decision we made throughout the entire wedding planning. Blaire was a phenomenal wedding planner in that she was incredibly flexible, patient, and helpful throughout the entire process. My husband and I changed our minds about a hundred times on hotel venue vs small elopement and even went back and forth between several venues. Blaire was never impatient with us and truly wanted us to have the best day. The wedding day itself was perfect. I could not have hoped for a more organized, effortless, and stress-free experience. Throughout the day, Blaire and Sharon checked up on all of our guests and made sure their needs were met. They checked on us and asked if we needed anything, they handled all minor issues flawlessly and kept us informed so we felt none of the stress. Absolutely will be recommending Joyfully Co. to all of my family and peers for their weddings. Thank you again for a phenomenal experience, and I look forward to working with your team again for future birthdays and large parties!

I was the Matron of Honor at my friends' wedding and watched Haylie and her team do five million tiny things to make sure the entire wedding weekend ran smoothly (and I know there were millions more I didn't see). Haylie is creative, organized, and strategic. There's always something that doesn't work at the wedding last minute, but she gathered her resources and found solutions without the bride even knowing about it. Haylie didn't miss a thing. The dance floor had gotten dirty from guests stepping on it, and before the bride and groom entered the reception, she was on the ground wiping it down til it was pristine. It was one of the most gorgeous weddings I'd ever attended and I highly recommend Heirloom Events. They put their whole heart into this event and even made sure that the bridal party was fed, hydrated, and emotionally well. Heirloom Events will elevate your special day, hands down, and they'll do so with grace, joy, and amazing attention to details.

Our goal is to ensure that you feel comfortable every step of the way to make informed decisions and to make the process as stress-free as possible.

We first learned about Oso Events in the summer of 2022 while remotely planning our California wedding from the East Coast. From the very first introductory call, they blew us away with their professionalism, punctuality, warmth, organization, and excellence. Without them, our wedding would not have been nearly as amazing as it was! They found us fantastic vendors in the Bay Area like the food, HMUA, DJ, and server staffing company, organized our wedding day schedule, held regular video calls with us, got quotes from vendors, kept track of our budget and payment schedule with weekly updates, arranged set-up of the ceremony and reception venue, made sure our vendors got day-of tips, and more! The only thing that could be improved is that there was a specific deadline for event liability insurance that I and the planning team all missed initially. No harm was done though! The mistake was caught in time before it affected the event, and all went well! Michelle and Raymundo excellently identified what our energy levels as a newlywed couple would be like in the week leading up to the big event, and the day of the actual wedding. Raymundo directed our impromptu ceremony rehearsal, helping our officiant and party mark their places and signaling where/when we should stand and walk. Michelle checked in with the bride and the groom consistently throughout the night of the reception, asking if we needed water, food, or other drinks since we were often distracted by the festivities. They maintained effective communication leading up to and on the day of the wedding. Their decorations at the ceremony and reception were absolutely gorgeous and exactly what we wanted. At the end of the night, they managed takedown, and made sure all of the personal decorative items and remembrance photos we brought were conveniently all in the same box for us to take home. Through the yearlong process of planning, they dealt with last-minute logistical changes with incredible poise, and truly grounded us, allowing us to enjoy the day with free minds. The team even accommodated two of our guests who tested positive for COVID last-minute by setting up a separate table for them in the outdoor venue. We couldn't recommend them more highly. Not to mention, their BobaHolics boba bar was a huge hit and the photo booth was a lot of fun. We got a lot of mileage out of the sustainable decor inventory, which prevented us from having tons of wedding stuff on hand that we'd accumulate and need to resell after. The entire range of services offered by Oso is incredibly helpful and will make any event an absolute hit. We have loved working with the team and we’re so grateful they decided to take us on as clients at the start of their wedding planning journey.

Working with Miranda, Raquel, and Kylie was a true pleasure. Kylie assisted us at our rehearsal the day before our wedding, practicing the ceremony to ensure we understood the process and best practices for each bridal party member. Miranda and Raquel were there for us on our wedding date, helping set up decor, running to get breakfast for the bridal party, and being the point of contact with all our vendors. At one point, as the bride, I was getting overstimulated with all the pictures being taken in a short amount of time, and Miranda/Raquel had my back by making sure I had water and 30 minutes to center before our ceremony. I'd recommend Start Rose Creations to family and friends for any event.

I literally don’t know how anyone gets married without Rachel!!! From the very start of our planning process, she made everything feel so natural, fun, and seamless. Rachel was always available to answer questions, provide an expert opinion when asked, and quell concerns, no matter how silly my questions felt sometimes! I trusted her implicitly from the beginning because of how honest, responsive, and genuine she always was. On our wedding day, Rachel and her team were unbelievable. They had the best energy that was both calm and fun - and they had TRULY any item you could ever ask for in a pinch (breath mint, scissors to cut a rogue string on a bridesmaids dress, etc). Everyone in our family and wedding party was beyond impressed and we had multiple comments about how amazing our planner was - Nick and I of course already knew how incredible Rachel was by then :) We absolutely LOVED working with Rachel and I am truly going to miss chatting with her all the time now that our wedding is over!!

Wow. We truly can't recommend Demi, Delaney, Alyssa and the Wilder Mind team enough. They were absolutely amazing and truly contributed to the smoothness and ease of our wedding day. My husband and I typically consider ourselves to be a bit of control freaks, but working with Demi and Delaney we were able put our complete faith in them, let our guard down, and know that their team had it all covered. We used Wilder Mind's Day of wedding coordination services and they were on point from day one of working together pre wedding. The team was so experienced and proactive in the planning calls, thorough details, and overall organization. Having Wilder Mind cover all the minute details for the wedding and thinking of things we never would have thought to consider like ceremony seating, timeline details, and overall wedding etiquette was a huge comfort for us amidst the stress of wedding planning. We had our full trust in Demi that she would handle it, and handle it she did. Demi and Alyssa were thoughtful enough to even record 70 videos and photos for us throughout the night and shared them with us before they left, it was so nice to get to relive the beauty of such a special night after it had just flown by! Having the Wilder Mind team behind us took so much stress off our plates and the cherry on top was that they made us feel like celebrities throughout the night! At the end of the night, back in our hotel room, exhausted and deliriously happy - we both agreed, working with the WilderMind team was some of the best money we spent for our wedding.

JayLynn was the absolute BEST day of coordinator we could have asked for on our big day! She was so so helpful! She came to our hotel room to pick up the decor and when she arrived the first thing she said was “do you need anything?! What can I do for you?”. She created the perfect timeline for the day and sent it out to all of our vendors so the day went smoothly. She took the extra flowers we had and I told her “do with these what you will” and she used them perfectly! We had a memorial chair for my husbands parents who had passed and she put the flowers there as well as on our cake! I was so impressed with how she used the flowers. The venue was set up exactly how I wanted and it was even more stunning than I expected. JayLynn was on time to pick up the decor and I never once had to stress about her or the set up. I truly did not have to stress at all on our big day and it meant the world to me. All night JayLynn was helping me with either carrying my train, helping me in the bathroom when needed, and even coming up and asking if there was anything I needed. She helped my maid of honor bustle my dress and change my shoes for the reception. At the end of the night JayLynn brought all of our decor back to the hotel for us!! She ended up staying in the same hotel and I’m so so glad she did because I’m sure she had a super busy day and we didn’t want her to drive home from Frisco at midnight. JayLynn was such a sweetheart and made everything run so smoothly. There was not a second in our day that wasn’t smooth and that is because of HER!! We had the absolute best day of our lives and we know that it wouldn’t have been possible without all of her help. JayLynn, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all of your hard work and your commitment to making our day perfect! We appreciate you and the work you do SO MUCH!! I know that I probably missed so many of the things she did for us because she did it all but we are forever grateful for her and her help!

My name is Kimberly and I’m a Disney bride. After having many postponements due to Covid, I finally got married! However, I realized there were many moments during my wedding day, I wished I could have “cloned” myself. There were so many little things that needed my attention and being the bride, I wasn’t able to attend to them. I had to have either a bridesmaid or my mother handle it, which wasn’t ideal. I wanted everyone in the moment and enjoying the day with me. That’s the moment I realized I needed to prevent moments like this from happening to other wedding couples.

We knew no detail would be missed, and we were confident that Blair could handle any challenge that might come our way, whether it was on the day of or during planning. Our wedding day was truly perfect, and the way the vision in my head came to life in our venue surpassed my expectations! Meanwhile, I had the most chill, beautiful morning getting ready for the wedding, and I have her assistant Elly to thank for it! She was absolutely spectacular. She was present every moment we needed her and blended into the background while sneakily helping, like steaming our dresses and setting up the gifts for my ladies without us even knowing. She was like our secret fairy godmother! And when I was getting ready to walk down the aisle and was feeling anxious, she was the most calm presence. She really helped me keep my composure. So so grateful for all she did for us! She made me feel so special :] Long story short, if you're wondering if hiring a wedding planner is worth it, I'm here to tell you THEY ARE WORTH EVERY SINGLE PENNY!!!

In February of 2024 (and the year leading up to), I had the pleasure of working with Rebecca from Bustle and Bloom for my wedding, and I can't recommend her services enough! I’ve literally told all of my friends getting married that she’s the one to hire FIRST. Initially, I hired Rebecca as a wedding coordinator for day-of, but she graciously took on the role of a mini planner when I needed more help. Her patience and grace in dealing with unpleasant guests/vendors were truly commendable and appreciated as the bride and I didn’t have to handle much on the wedding day. Rebecca managed everything seamlessly and truly seemed like my best friend for the day, ready to assist with anything I needed or any issues that arose. My now husband still talks about her all the time… she brought him a snack tray during photos and instantly became his BFF too. We loved our day with B&B by our side. I also hired her for our floral needs. Rebecca's floral design was stunning and perfectly complemented our desired overall aesthetic. The fact that she provided both planning and floral services made the entire process so much more cohesive and stress-free. Her ability to bring my vision to life was remarkable, and she handled every detail with such poise and professionalism. Thanks to Rebecca and the Bustle and Bloom team, my wedding day was everything I dreamed of and more!

Thanks for visiting Breezy Day, we are so happy you are here! We are a sister team in San Diego, committed to helping you make your engagement & wedding day a breeze! WE CANNOT WAIT TO GET TO KNOW YOU!

I used both the wedding coordination and floral services from Breezy Day and both services went above and beyond, making our wedding day perfect. Courtney was our wedding coordinator and she made the process so much easier. I was so stressed about the wedding planning process until I met Courtney, I wonder if we would have even had a wedding if I didn’t meet her to be honest! From the initial phone call, she explained the wedding planning process and reassured me that we could have a great wedding within our limited budget. She had a list of vendors she recommended which I picked all of my vendors from and it made the process of selecting vendors so much easier. Courtney was always able to help answer my questions throughout the whole year of planning and always responded in a timely manner. Then, on the day of the wedding, Courtney made the entire day so smooth and it went just as planned. I cannot recommend Courtney and the wedding day of coordinator services more. I don’t know what I would have done without her! The florals from Breezy Day Weddings were also incredible. They were more beautiful in person then I even expected. I chose the a la carte options from the Shoppe and the florals were so beautiful. Heather was great and very responsive when I asked questions about the process. The florals were seamlessly delivered to the venue on the day of the wedding and Courtney set the centerpieces on the table for me and placed the florals on the cake and it was so stunning. The service from both the day of coordination services and the florals were 10 out of 10! I cannot recommend them enough. They were affordable, professional, efficient, friendly, reassuring, and just amazing all around. If you’re getting married, you need to hire them for your wedding! Thank you again, Courtney and Heather!

Awarded Best of Zola
We are so thankful we found Events in a Crunch as our day of planner for our wedding - Adaobi and her team made the process much easier. We had planned to manage the day-of ourself using friends & family, and we are so glad we didn't! We did the middle package "Crunch Planning" which starts 4 months out. Adaobi helped us manage the budget and find vendors that worked within our budget that still fulfilled our vision of the day. The day of help was tremendous - they worked with the vendors to confirm details, ensuring furniture and games arrived & were set-up as directed. They also made sure the various tables were set-up just as we had laid out. Even the little details like sneakily fluffing my wife's dress just before we walked down the aisle - very appreciated. We had a wonderful day and highly recommend Events in a Crunch!

Planning a Texas wedding from NYC was no small task, and I can confidently say that hiring Krysta as our wedding planner was the best decision we made. From the moment we brought her on board, she became an absolute rock in our planning process. Her quirky and lovely personality made the entire experience enjoyable, and her ability to stay laser-focused on tasks while getting them done quickly was a game changer. Krysta was there to guide us every step of the way, and she seamlessly took the reins about four months out from the wedding, allowing me to finally breathe a little. She worked flawlessly with all our vendors, even helping us find and communicate with them. Despite the distance, she was more than willing to meet in person whenever I was in town, and she was always on top of texting me back, especially when wedding anxiety hit. The day of the wedding, Krysta came in full force with her team of assistants and made sure every detail was set. With over 20 vendors and staff involved, there were countless moving parts, but Krysta handled it all like an absolute pro. Any mishaps were dealt with swiftly and gracefully, to the point where I didn’t even have to worry. As a Type A bride, she was everything I needed—she respected my need to be involved and, at the same time, was always five steps ahead when it came to questions or ensuring things ran smoothly. Even after the wedding, when we had some issues with vendors, Krysta provided unwavering support. She jumped on video calls with us, backed us up, and continued to hold our hands through the post-wedding process until we were fully ready to move on. Krysta and her team are the reason our wedding was perfect, and we will forever be grateful. We love you, Krysta! Thank you for being the rockstar wedding planner that you are!

We booked Sarah as our Month-of Coordinator and it was probably the smartest decision I've ever made! Not only did Sarah smoothly execute my vision for the reception and ceremony decor, but she really made sure the day ran smoothly and I trusted her completely. She was prepared and on hand for anything we needed... including sewing me into my reception dress when the zipper broke beyond repair. I highly HIGHLY recommend Sarah for your planning and coordination needs!

From the moment I spoke to Carolyn during our initial phone consultation, I was filled with ease and knew she was the person I could trust in the process of coordinating our special day! Carolyn’s calming and positive demeanor was such a Godsend in the otherwise overwhelming process of making many small decisions leading up to the big day. Communication with Carolyn was such a breeze and she was available through text and several phone call meetings where we would talk through ideas and details. I shared my ideas with her, and she immediately understood my vision and helped so much in executing everything we wanted in our wedding day and more. Carolyn coordinated with our vendors on the month of the wedding to ensure that everyone was on the same page. She helped our day flow so effortlessly and even between several locations from the hotel where we got ready, to the church for our ceremony, to our reception venue, and eventually after party. She added personal touches to the experience that were so special to us. Carolyn is truly such a joy to work with and made us feel so cared for during the whole wedding experience. We were in the best hands. We highly recommend Fête Events to anyone looking for a wedding planner who combines professionalism with a personal touch. Her dedication and expertise ensured that our day was nothing short of perfect, leaving us free to enjoy every moment without worry. Carolyn exceeded our expectations in every way, and we couldn't have asked for a better partner to help bring our dream wedding to life.

Deliece and Melissa absolutely killed it for our wedding day and we could not be more thankful!!! We booked them for their day of coordination services and they were able to alleviate a lot of stress leading up to the big day for me, which was key in keeping my sanity for the entire weekend. I am someone who is beyond type A and have a working background in event planning/management and they were such a great crew to work with and thought of details that never even crossed my mind! Having my event planning background, I really questioned if I would need planners because I felt like I had everything under control, but having Deliece and Melissa as part of our special day was a no-brainer! Looking back, I wish I would have found them sooner, honestly! 
We had many detailed pieces and small items to set out on the day of the wedding plus an end-of-night exit that took some coordination, and everything went off without a hitch. It was important to my now husband and me that during the time leading up to the day of the event, Deliece and Melissa were very professional and always responsive - even when Deliece had just welcomed her son to their family. They are great to bounce ideas off of as well and lean on for advice and support when the dreaded but inevitable hiccups happen prior to your big day (like me getting the stomach flu 2 days before the wedding and not being able to get into town on time). During the wedding, when anything was adjusted or if an issue came up, they presented everything to me very calmly and with a solution which I really appreciated because it kept me from getting upset or worried knowing that they had it completely handled and had my back! My dress bustle was destroyed early on after it was accidentally stepped on multiple times while dancing and the ladies were able to save the day and make sure that train wasn’t moving anymore and was secure and I would be able to party the night away. The best part of all (aside from them being amazing people to work with) was that they knew my schedule inside and out and did not let anything slip through the cracks, which was always something I was worried about before I had planners. All of their materials and plans they create are clear and straightforward and if you choose month of coordination, there are many follow up calls and these ladies work super hard behind the scenes to make sure everything is perfect. At the end of the night, everything was carefully put away and handled which allowed my new husband and I to be able to go off with our friends and family and continue the celebration at the after party, which were are BEYOND grateful for since there was so much partying happening during the actual wedding. Overall, our wedding was amazing and Deliece and Melissa deserve so much credit for that! My husband and I are beyond grateful for the whole team and for helping to make our day a legit fairytale!

My love for wedding planning started when planning my own wedding. In 2016 I decided to make my dream career a reality and Jessica Bencomo Events was born. I have planned over 100 weddings and I still believe I have the best job in the world.

Awarded Best of Zola
I am so incredibly thankful that my daughter chose Jessica as her wedding coordinator. My daughter researched her options extensively and landed on the absolute best coordinator imaginable. My daughter felt so comfortable with Jessica’s pricing, clear contract and enumeration of what her role was. I was invited to a meeting with Jessica and my daughter about 2 months out from the wedding, and after that, I knew we were in excellent hands! Jessica went above and beyond to ensure all of the vendors had clear instructions and communication as to timeline, set up, clean up, etc. During the wedding, she was absolutely pivotal in ensuring the bride & groom, along with their families, were able to relax and enjoy the day. The weather was quite uncooperative, and Jessica was literally blow drying the hem of my daughter’s dress and making sure she was warm, fed and hydrated during the photo shoots. Her assistant, Clarissa, was a breath of fresh air with her amazing demeanor and kindness. As the mother of the bride, I expected to feel some “normal stress” about my daughter’s special day, but Jessica and her assistant covered every single detail - right down to knowing where the foam dance sticks were stashed at the exact moment my daughter was ready for them! Jessica and Clarissa blended into the day seamlessly, yet any time one of us had a question or concern, there they were. Only one vendor had issues- and Jessica dealt with it, corrected the problem as quickly as possible. Clarissa was literally serving appetizers and refreshing sodas for our guests! After the reception, and the bride and groom were off to the airport, they loaded our vehicles (insisting we rest!) and handed us a packed package of dinner that they had kept warm for us in case we hadn’t had time to eat, or were hungry when we arrived home. I am a very detail oriented person, and according to my family, difficult to please at times. Jessica’s attention to detail and impeccable professionalism were absolutely perfect. She thought of everything, and things we didn’t know to think of, right down to her choice of the perfect assistant! Jessica’s service reflects not only her integrity and work ethic, but also her amazing kindness and love of the role she plays on such an important day.

Jason approaches all weddings with his playwriting background: What is the couple’s version of their most beautiful story to be told?

Awarded Best of Zola
If you're thinking about hiring Jason and team DO IT! Really truly the best.  My wife(!) and I wanted a small intimate wedding that was super "us" but we are incredibly busy people. We decided we wanted a wedding in Los Angeles, where we met, despite living on the other side of the country. From the first meeting Jason was incredibly reassuring that our small little dream wedding was not only possible, but completely doable. He helped us find amazing vendors, and everything was absolutely perfect. Our friends all remarked how "us" the wedding was, even though we had to do so little to make it happen. Jason listened to what we wanted and made it come to life. The day flew by and there wasn't even a second of stress in the entire planning process. And we were the worst type of clients! Very opinionated with no idea exactly what we wanted. But the team figured out exactly what we meant by our very vague descriptions. Nearly six months later and friends and family still say what a great experience the day was. Thanks to Jason, Michael, and the rest of the team we didn't experience any wedding stress, and we have amazing photos, videos, and memories of our perfect day. Cannot recommend highly enough.

The initial planning is done by the clients, meaning that couples choose their own vendors and have the freedom to design their own wedding.

Awarded Best of Zola
Ja'el and her team were the best vendor decision we could have possibly made for our big day. This is not an exaggeration. We did not hire a full wedding planner, and Ja'el not only helped us figure out all of the things we didn't know we needed to plan for, she helped us organize every detail, communicate with our vendors and manage our own emotions in the months leading up to the wedding. We learned so much from Ja'el and how much it takes to truly pull of every detail of a wedding through working with her. Ja'el is a straight up pro. Her and her team allowed us to do the most important thing at our wedding - be present! Everything was executed so perfectly--from the little details like welcome signs to the big things like transportation from our ceremony to the venue--that my husband and I got to be in the moment for every minute of our wedding. Throughout the planning process, Ja'el was such a proactive and open communicator. We always felt we could ask her any question and even if she didn't know the answer (rarely, if at all) she helped us work to a solution. She communicated so well with all of our vendors and took so much of the weight that comes with planning a wedding, especially in the last few weeks leading up to it, completely off our shoulders. We had a very large wedding party, and Ja'el was able to manage personalities and volume to get everyone where they needed to go. Beyond her professionalism, Ja'el is an incredibly kind, warm and welcoming person. She cares about her clients and you can tell that she wants to help make your day as special as you always hoped it would be. I could not recommend The Coordinated Collective enough. If you are getting married in the DC area, no matter the venue, you need Ja'el and her team. My wedding may be over, but I know we'll keep in touch with Ja'el for years to come. THANK YOU Ja'el! We love you!

I had a backyard wedding on 9/23/23 and let me say that having a backyard wedding for 150 people is not for the faint of heart! But from the moment we hired Dream Co. things got easier. Carrie was so helpful and responsive every step of the way and it was a HUGE relief when she started coordinating and communicating with vendors directly (which was my least favorite part). On the wedding day, several things didn't go according to plan (which always happens) and Carrie and her assistant Deanna handled it seamlessly. I heard from so many people that it was the best wedding they had ever attended and I owe so much of that to Carrie and Deanna. We also had the pleasure of working with Natasha for decoration and her eye for detail was beyond words. She took piles of supplies and decor and turned the backyard into a 5-star venue.

We want to make sure that you enjoy your day and you are unburdened.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Ani Wolff and her team in preparation for our wedding was the single best decision we could have made. Ani’s a great wedding planner that brings empathy, clear communication, close attention to detail, transparency, and flexibility to the process. She’s the person you’ll want to work with to make your planning, and wedding day itself, run seamlessly. We would recommend Ani as an essential part of your wedding and wedding planning process. We met with Ani shortly after getting engaged where she shared her process, expertise, and transparent estimates for her services. She also helped us to understand what our overall budget could be for the wedding that we wanted to have. We felt like we could trust Ani right out of the gate. After deciding to work with her, we met on a monthly cadence to discuss options for things like venue, vendors, details, and timelines. She kept track of all of our details on a project management platform to which we had access. This kept us on track with what we had to work on, well ahead of schedule with most decisions, and relatively stress-free throughout the process. When it came to venues, vendors, and purchases, Ani did a great job of taking our expectations, budget, and general intended vibe for our wedding to source the right people/things. She has a great pulse on the best folks to work with and matched us up to 3-5 options to choose from. They were all amazing which made decision-making tough — a great problem to have! Ani is also flexible and consultative in how she works with you. We thought we had a clear idea of the kind of venue we wanted, but the first one we decided to look at (and ultimately the one we went with) was a departure from that. Ani was sure to check in with us to communicate that, but she swung with us when we we expressed interest in things we hadn’t fully entertained before. I would recommend having some idea of what you’d like, but just know that Ani is easily able to help you fill in the gaps. Overall, the planning process was seamless and Ani kept us on schedule so that we really weren’t stressed out about any of the logistical and aesthetic details of the wedding, giving us plenty of space to manage the personal parts of planning. As for the weekend of the wedding, Ani, Gab, and Gab ran the show like the pros that they are. Ani was there to orchestrate our rehearsal, rehearsal dinner, and welcome party and everything went off without a hitch. This gave us the ability to be fully present with our guests. The day of the wedding was no different. Ani and her team were the first people we saw when we started preparing for the day at the crack of 8am. Ani had a very solid timeline that was shared with all of our vendors and the venue and we stuck to it. They did an amazing job of getting all of our VIPs into position for the events of the day like hair/makeup, photos, and lunch. Ani was even sure to align with our VIPs on fielding questions and concerns about various things throughout the day. Basically, Ani and her team were there to manage any and all issues that popped up (hardly any did), so we could be free to be excited about getting married! She took the very few high-stress moments and brought us back down to earth. Like I said, working with Ani was the best decision we made for our wedding. We were lucky to have met her and planned our wedding with her, and our only regret is that we don’t get to plan another wedding with again soon.

My fiance and I were connected with Tavi through a recommendation from the Capri Hotel in Ojai, where we knew we wanted to have our wedding. We planned the whole thing for 100 people in just under 6 months because of a mid-wedding-planning pregnancy surprise :) Tavi was SO incredibly helpful throughout the whole process, she was the perfect balance of calm and professional and friendly, which was just what we were looking for during what could have been a very hectic time. She completely understood our balance of traditional/nontraditional, and she was always so communicative and available any time we needed her. If you want someone to truly help you execute your wedding vision, not interject with too many opinions, but still provide helpful and relevant advice, Tavi is your person. She communicated with all our vendors, which was the most important element to me, and she worked tirelessly the day of the wedding to keep everything running smoothly. She even managed to help us will away the cold, windy rain on our wedding day for a perfect 3-hour sunny window to have our ceremony and outdoor dinner ;) (Okay, that last part may have been out of her control, but she kept us cool and calm and it all worked out, so I'm going to give it to her anyway!) Thank you so much Tavi!!

She is incredibly organized, compassionate, an amazing listener, and isn’t afraid to take the lead and make decisions when necessary. She is thoughtful, calm, has a wealth of wedding industry knowledge and was able to provide personalized suggestions based on my preferences at every turn. To be honest, I was originally super nervous and anxious to hire a wedding planner, as I am a very type A person because of my job as a programs and event planner. But Carissa exceeded all expectations and truly was able to allow me to relax and enjoy my wedding weekend without a worry in the world. She was a problem solver every step of the way. For example, she offered to manually fixed my seating chart the day before the wedding and found a print shop willingly to print very specific last minute signage (both things that were my fault that they were delayed/wrong). She kept not only me, but my husband and both families on track leading up to the wedding, provided monthly checklists, was available via phone and email for my questions, and even provided bridal party itineraries the weekend of. Her and her team were incredibly easy to work with, and our other vendors and bridal party members said the exact same thing. She can work with anyone, with any personality type, and makes you feel important and heard. If you want someone to go above and beyond for you, look no further! She will make your day everything YOU want it to be. Couldn’t recommend her and her team more…I walked away with a new friend!

HIGHLY recommend Love & Laughter Weddings! We booked the live music, day of coordinator and officiant package and our wedding was divine! Bryan played our favorite songs throughout the ceremony and cocktail hour and the performance was perfect! The ceremony was heartfelt and custom and funny, which was so important for us being that we're a laid-back couple and Evelyn nailed it! Amazing doesn’t even begin to describe our night. Wouldn’t have been able to plan my 3x postponed wedding without Evelyn! Amazing person, calmed my nerves more than once, super organized and now lifelong friend. Thank you Bryan and Evelyn for making our small wedding a magical night!

About wedding planners

How much does a wedding planner cost?

On average, a full-service wedding planner can cost between $3,000 and $10,000. It depends on where you live and where you’re getting married. Planners in areas with high costs of living, like New York City and San Francisco, may charge upwards of $20,000. If you’re having a destination wedding, consider using a planner local to the area—you’ll avoid paying extra for travel, accommodations, and meals. Day-of coordinators cost less. They may have a flat fee between $1,000 and $5,000, or charge hourly. Always ask about pricing up front so nothing comes as a surprise later.

What do wedding planners do?

Think of wedding planners as jack-of-all-trades experts when it comes to weddings. Many offer different levels of service to meet your needs. If you just want day-of coordination, for example, your planner will be there to make sure your ceremony and reception go off without a hitch. This may mean setting up vendors or directing your wedding party and guests to make sure everyone is where they need to be at the right time. On the other end of the spectrum, full-service planning may involve:

  • Starting the planning far in advance
  • Budget management
  • Coordinating with your venue
  • Recommending vendors and negotiating contracts
  • Staying on top of trends and making suggestions
  • Ironing out all-important last-minute details
  • Running interference with family members if conflict arises
  • Making a schedule and ensuring everything runs smoothly
  • Executing on your vision, from the rehearsal dinner to the reception

Should we get a wedding planner?

Planners are great resources and can make planning your wedding much less stressful. If you’ve got the budget, a wedding planner is well worth the investment. Planners offer different service levels at varying price points. Choose the amount of help and cost that makes the most sense for you. At the bare minimum, you need someone (hired or delegated) to help manage the event day-of so you will be able to enjoy yourselves without worrying about too many logistics. If you decide to enlist a friend or family member to take on this role, keep in mind that this person will need to prioritize your needs over their own, and will no longer be attending or enjoying the wedding simply as a guest.
