Wildflowers Elegant Events 

5.0

  • Offers 3 services
  • Starts at $1,849
  • Serves Dana Point, CA

I’m Katie Tinker, Owner of Wildflowers Elegant Events. I am the wife of a Wildland Firefighter and a mama to two precious little boys & a furbaby who have stolen my heart forever. I fell in love with wedding/event planning while planning my own wedding 7 years ago. While most feel event planning to be stressful and full of anxiety I find it to be exciting and fulfilling. I am looking forward to working with you to bring your event dreams to life. And in doing that, it is my mission to make it easy, stress free, fun and an exciting journey for you.

Just stop looking and hire her now i promise you. I got married last August, and hiring Katie as our wedding planner was the best decision we made! I was initially hesitant because I'm super organized and a bit of a control freak, but now I can't imagine how I would have pulled off our 150-person wedding without her. To anyone considering a wedding planner: trust me, there's way more that goes into a wedding than you realize. Having Katie on board meant I didn’t have to stress about logistics, timelines, or the million moving parts that come with a wedding. Instead, I got to focus on the fun stuff—like my cute DIY projects, spending quality time with my bridesmaids, and enjoying my bachelorette party and rehearsal dinner. Katie is an absolute rockstar. I gave her my full trust, and she exceeded every expectation. She’s organized, calm under pressure, and genuinely cared about making our day perfect. If I ever get married again (haha), I’ll hire her without a second thought! If you’re on the fence, do yourself a favor and book her. You’ll thank yourself later! Oh and she's also just a wonderful human who has now become my friend! It's a win-win!

Awarded Best of Zola
We can't say enough good things about Rose Event Company! Planning a wedding is never easy, but doing it in just 4 months, from across the country, and in a remote area with limited vendors seemed impossible—until we found Ashley. She took our vision of an intimate elopement with our closest family and friends, and turned it into the weekend of our dreams, managing every detail with perfection and making the entire process stress-free. From the moment we first spoke, I knew that Ashley was everything I was looking for. She is professional, organized, and full of creative ideas. Despite the challenges of our location, she found the perfect vendors to bring our vision to life. She understood our style and preferences right away and worked tirelessly to ensure everything was just as we envisioned. Even with the distance, Ashley was always available, responsive, and kept us updated every step of the way. She organized all the activities for our wedding weekend, including putting together our guest welcome bags. The entire weekend was a like a dream. Every single detail was meticulously executed, and we received so many compliments from our guests about how beautiful and seamless everything was. We truly couldn't have asked for a better experience. If you're looking for someone who is not only incredibly talented but also kind, patient, and genuinely invested in making your day perfect, look no further than Ashley. She made what could have been a stressful and overwhelming process into something fun and memorable. Thank you, Ashley for making our dream wedding a reality!

Kimberly’s Ever After Planning

Kimberly’s Ever After Planning is a dedicated husband and wife wedding planning and coordinating team led by Kimberly, with the support of her husband. Together, they bring a personal touch and shared commitment to creating a truly unforgettable wedding day that’s uniquely yours. Drawing on her own experience as a bride, Kimberly founded this business to give other couples the freedom to enjoy their day while she handles every detail behind the scenes.

Awarded Best of Zola
Kimberly’s Ever After Planning is the whole reason my day went so smoothly and I didn’t spend the whole day worrying. I hired Kimberly’s Ever After Planning for outside day of coordination for my Disneyland Hotel Wedding. From the moment I booked them, I felt a weight lifted off my shoulders. I knew that my DIY & Personal items would be handled carefully and nobody from the wedding party or any guests would have to take time out of their day to set it up. I had lots of communication from Kimberly from the moment I booked with her until the wedding day. Kimberly and her husband Travis had the same venues as we did for their own wedding, plus she has worked many Disneyland weddings as a planner, so I knew she was someone I could trust to know all the details & peculiarities when having a Disneyland Wedding. On the day of the wedding I just showed Kimberly and Travis all the items I had, I had binned them up and labeled them, and they handled everything from then on. I didn’t need to worry about anything while I was getting my hair & makeup done because they were handling it all and updating me occasionally. Kimberly even ran to get a tide pen for me from my hotel room when I spilled cupcake on my white shirt! At the end of the reception, Kimberly & Travis packed up all my items and they were so smooth at it, I didn’t even notice them while I was dancing with my friends! I also hired Kimberly’s Ever After Planning for content creation, and once everything was set up, Kimberly and Travis got so much footage of behind the scenes, the ceremony, and reception footage. I didn’t know if I wanted to spend the money on a videographer & hiring them for content creation was a happy medium. I definitely recommend hiring Kimberly’s Ever After Planning, especially if you’re having a Disneyland Wedding. They know what they’re doing, and they’re going to take care of you, and care about making your day special just as much as you do.

We are so grateful for brandi! Because our contract said we had to have a wedding planner for the day.We thought we could just get one just to show.But after interviewing the first one, We knew we needed someone who would definitely care about our special day and all it's details. We interviewed for four others and we just didn't find what we were looking for: professionalism, attention to details, demeanor that showed they would have a quick command of our large bridal party- until we met Brandi!!! What a God sent! Upon meeting her, her genuine care for our wedding was felt immediately. My now husband and I were very organized and already had all the details we wanted.We just need someone excellent to execute them and Brandi did that and so much more. Right away, She contacted all of our vendors, grabbed all of our contracts and organized them. She had an awesome timeline made capturing every detail we explained to her. She was always available to talk or text when we had random questions and always gave thoughtful answers. During the rehearsal, she was in charge and fun! Her loving heart showed when I showed her my bridal bouquet that was full of sad white roses. She made it her mission to find me a new bouquet the day of the wedding! Went to four florists! Just for me! On the wedding day, Brandi and her assistants were excellently dressed in black and with walkies. They set-up my ballroom, beautifully drapped my arch, and aisle chairs just as I dreamed. She and her team were with us until the end. One of the best things we did for this wedding was getting Brandi on board. She's the epitome of small sacrifice BIG, BIG reward. She shows amd makes you feel that coordinating your wedding is her true passion and service. We loved her so much, we referred her to another friend and now her team will be at that wedding! Thank you so much Brandi and your team.

Specializing in large banquet style Asian weddings, Filipino/Catholic religious settings, Tea Ceremonies and bringing diverse cultures and elements together is our jam.

I decided to book LVLF for my November wedding at Rancho Las Lomas as my day of coordinator, and I’m so glad I decided to have the team there with me. I’m so grateful for Chiell and her team supporting me before my wedding and during my wedding. I seriously didn’t have to worry about a thing the day of our wedding and the team took care of every situation that popped up. They took care of everything from contacting my vendors before the wedding, keeping in touch with vendors, directing guests, helping set up the venue with decor that I brought, and even loaded up cars at the end of the night. They were incredibly organized, thoughtful, and always kept us on track throughout the day of the wedding process and before. One of the highlights of this team is their familiarity with Rancho Las Lomas, they knew what they had to do beforehand and carried everything out flawlessly (especially considering the size of this venue). The team even made sure to carry out the vision that I had in my head, and did a better job than what I could have imagined. They all paid attention to the little details that I even would have missed, this team is truly impressive. I will forever recommend LVLF to anyone that I know that is having an upcoming wedding, they are seriously the greatest team ever. If you’re looking for a wedding coordinator to carry out your dream wedding, LVLF is the team for you.

We all live busy lives, so allow us to take away your stress as much as possible to make wedding planning a fun and enjoyable process. By staying on top of deadlines, planning check points and communication with your venue + vendors, Koral & Ko. is your ultimate planning bestie!

Awarded Best of Zola
There are a great many things I can say about how absolutely amazing Koral is, and I will. But first and foremost I need to say this: hire this woman! We booked Koral & Ko for a “month of,” coordination package. We already had most of our things booked (venue, vendors, etc.) but we wanted someone to help us make it over the finish line. Most of our anxiety stemmed from small details, little decisions and doubt in our ability to corral all of our friends and family. Koral, made all of that anxiety evaporate. She knew all the right questions to ask to ensure we were all aligned when it came to the details. Prior to when Koral’s contract actually began, she would still checked in and even provided us with check lists to ensure we were on track with all of our planning. When something we wanted to figure out was too complicated for us to do on our own, we were able to utilize our Planning Calls that were part of our package. It was incredibly helpful to use her as a sounding board when it came to ideas and timelines! We didn’t realize how many little details and questions come up or how many people reach out once you approach the actual wedding date. Koral took on all of our vendor communication and timeline coordination to iron out any wrinkles. All of our vendors told us how much they loved how organized and prompt she was! When it came to our wedding day, my husband and I can honestly say we felt like guests. Koral and her team handled absolutely everything. There was a moment where a dark shade of lipstick was smeared across my dress and she pulled out a tide to go pen and cleaned it up before my grand entrance! She also procured a sewing kit when a groomsman lost a button on his tuxedo! And when we needed to find a family member or friend for a picture, she was able to track them down with the efficiency of a bloodhound. We did not feel at all rushed at any point on the day. Our vendors were genuinely shocked at the fact we were consistently ahead of schedule because everything was so seamless. The timeline Koral created was intuitive and well thought out. The day was orchestrated so beautifully that my husband and I forgot we helped planned this day too! Seeing our vision executed by Koral’s team was simply beautiful. Our wedding was kid friendly and we wanted to add a kid’s specific area for our wedding. We were able to add a design package with Koral because we had no idea what to do! Koral and her team create a mocked up design of a children’s play area and executed it perfectly! All of our guests with kids loved the idea! My husband and I even forgot there were kids at our wedding! Overall, Koral’s professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine passion for what she does created a magical day for my husband and I. We wholeheartedly recommend Koral & Ko to anyone in need of exceptional wedding coordination services. Thank you, Koral, for making our special day absolutely perfect!

We’re glad to say that Claudia did not disappoint us once in the 9 months that we worked together!

We had the absolute pleasure of having Kasha coordinate our wedding in September. She helped me keep track of all my vendors, made recommendations, prepared me for things I didn’t think about, created our entire timeline and kept us organized as we prepped for the big day. She also attended our wedding rehearsal, which would have been very disorganized without her. She took the time to walk us through the process and placement for the big day. It was also critical to have her on the ground day of…she oversaw the event set-up and made sure everything was perfect based on the mock ups I provided! Kasha was patient, friendly, incredibly professional, kind, and calm. I definitely recommend booking her if you want a stress-free day and a coordinator who keeps the day flowing!

Hi there! My name is Tess and I'm an affordable wedding and event coordinator in Orange County, California and surrounding areas. I specialize in Month-Of Coordinating and Day-Of Coordinating but love to help couples plan their weddings out as well and can help with vendor research and more. I also do micro weddings, event set up/tear down and other parties and events (bridal showers, engagement parties, birthdays etc.)

Tess is an old and dear friend of mine who is great at what she does! Upon getting engaged, I was very excited to have her as my wedding coordinator. She was organized and straightforward with the process as we planned the wedding and day of she went above and beyond setting up almost everything with some last-minute no-shows (oops!). The wedding was magical. I particularly appreciated her process and checklists that helped keep me on track for what needed to get done, and her gentle prodding when there was a timeline. When you're planning a wedding and everything is a flurry, having someone like Tess is an invaluable resource! I highly recommend her services.

Thank you for your interest in Perfectly Planned Occasion. My name is Kristina and I have been a planner my whole life. The only thing that has changed is what I am planning. In college I planned social outings and holiday parties for my roommates. Due to my love of organization I majored in Recreation and Leisure Studies, which included event planning at California State University. After graduation, I worked full-time in municipal recreation for the City of Cypress planning and day-of coordinating city-wide special events, as well as managing venues to host banquets, parties, and beautiful wedding receptions.

Kristina is an absolute magician and angel! Prior to my wedding day, she was incredibly helpful by asking all the right questions about things I never would have thought of. The week of, the weather was all over the place and we had to totally redo our layout to account for the possibility of rain. She was so patient and calming while I rattled through several terrible ideas before we landed on the best one together. She coordinated with all my vendors prior to the event and even made sure my venue allowed one of the vendors they tried to deny. For all my decor and visions, I was so disorganized and didn’t communicate anything very well, and she still was able to pull it all together and made sure everything was perfect and just as I had dreamed. Her assistant Kelly was like a whisp who floated here and there making everything happen without anyone noticing. They worked seamlessly with all my vendors and bridesmaids. Her pricing also seems so reasonable considering how much time and energy she put into me and my wedding. I wouldn’t have been able to enjoy my wedding day without her!

I came across Shelby from a mutual friend after panicking because I thought I could handle all that came from planning a wedding. Even as a type-A, super organized person, my 250 person wedding got away from me quickly. Thankfully Shelby stepped in and helped me right away. She was able to bring my vision to life way better than I could have even imagined. My favorite part was her suggestion of a cigar bar (a thoughtful nod to my Cuban heritage) that added a personal touch I didn't even think of. I'm not sure what part my guests loved more -- the cigar bar or the epic dessert bar (both suggestions under her direction!) I didn't have to stress or panic about anything going wrong on the day of, and of course they did, but Shelby & her team handled all of it flawlessly. I ACTUALLY got to relax and enjoy my day. I know I would not be able to say the same had I not hired Shelby. Honestly, my one regret was being stubborn and thinking I could do everything by myself from the beginning. I wish I would have had her do the full planning & design package as there are definitely some things I would have changed had I been under her direction from the get-go. A million thanks to SK Events!

I am the Creative Director and Lead Wedding Planner behind Grit and Grace Events.
