There are no words to describe how thankful we are to Merrie and her team. We got married in November 2024 and our wedding went incredibly well. We couldn’t have done it without Merrie. From our initial conversation we knew that we could trust her with this important event. She was always very upfront how she could help us and that is what sold us. We didn’t have a clue about what it took to plan a wedding, and Merrie made it so easy to make sure we didn’t miss anything and everything was covered. She created our day-of-timeline for us which was a huge help. She was always available for anything we needed. She drove out for any meeting we needed her for—she really went above and beyond for us, and we really appreciated that. Day of there was an issue regarding guest seating and Merrie and her team quickly handled the problem and allowed me to take my focus away from that and actually enjoy my wedding day. They made sure we were always having fun and had everything we needed. They helped us set up all of our decorations and made sure my visions came to life. We could not recommend her more. She made the whole process as stress-free as she could. We will forever be thankful to Merrie for helping us make an unforgettable night.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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!

Offering award-winning event planning experience. I’ve planned everything from small social gatherings to Fortune 500 corporate events.

Awarded Best of Zola
When we began our wedding planning journey, we were debating whether or not to hire a wedding planner. Despite some back and forth, we ultimately decided we probably should hire someone who knew what they were doing. We met with four other planners to make sure we found a good fit. Shannon stood out from the very beginning. She was professional and knowledgeable but above all she was the most down to earth and genuine. Throughout the wedding planning process itself, she was absolutely amazing. She was incredibly responsive to texts, emails, and calls. She kept us organized with realistic checklists and timelines. She connected us to several vendors within our budget and advocated for our budgetary needs with said vendors without compromising the important elements of our wedding. Her expertise was essential to bringing our vision to life. On the actual day of the wedding, we did not have to worry about a thing. Not. A. Thing. We truly enjoyed our day and let Shannon do her magic. Everything just went smoothly. She made sure we had food and drinks. She made sure any hiccups were solved. And she was absolutely great with our guests and vendors. Our only wedding regret is not including her in the fun that she made possible that day.

We started working with Jessica about 14 months before our big day and were immediately blown away by how organized, professional and kind she was. Those traits remained in place throughout months of indecisiveness (me), general stress (also me) and last minute issues that required quick thinking (our venue). With Jessica's help and guidance we were able to throw the wedding of our dreams and have received endless complements about how seamless the evening flowed. Jessica was a huge asset to us during the whole process and we are forever grateful for her patience and support!

The first time I worked as an event coordinator, I knew I had found my calling. In 2022, I followed my heart and began planning weddings, parties, and events as my career and I've never looked back! I have a wandering soul. I was born in Massachusetts, went to college in Vermont, studied abroad in Ireland, struck out to Utah and have now settled down in Southern California. On the weekends when I'm not working, you can find me chasing the last 7 of my bucket list states, exploring our nation's national parks, or hunting for all kinds of treasure - from metal detecting on the beach to sifting through thrift store aisles!

Bianca and her whole team delivered (and then some) on our vision for our wedding. Bianca’s focus is design, and that was reflected in each careful presentation she brought to us for our review in the lead up to our wedding, including florals, stationary and table settings, each of which reflected exactly what we were thinking. She captured our vibe perfectly - she had clearly listened to every thought and dream we shared with her about the wedding. She also made us feel confident that our day would go off without a hitch (and it did go off without a single hitch!). She was able to quickly change course and get creative when we found out the day before that it would be too hot to hold our wedding outdoors. She re-arranged everything and was able to create a beautiful ceremony space indoors in less than 24 hours. Danny also served as our DJ for our wedding and he was incredible - our guests were dancing all night long, which is exactly what we wanted. We can’t thank Bianca and her team enough, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Desert Vibes for any future event. They were amazing!

Congratulations on your engagement and upcoming wedding! You're about to embark in a very exciting journey! While planning your dream wedding is fun and exciting, it can also be stressful and overwhelming. We're here to assist you with the days leading up to the big day and the day-of coordination/management. We can't wait to meet you and be part of your special day!

We worked with Patty as our wedding coordinator. Patty excelled at finding vendors that met our specific guidelines and was very cost-effective, which was a big help during the planning process. However, we did have some concerns with her approach to vendor communication. She often relied on the bride to handle communication difficulties with vendors, rather than taking the lead herself. This caused some unnecessary stress. We would have liked Patty to be more hands-on in providing design ideas. Fortunately, our on-site wedding venue coordinator was fantastic and kept everything running smoothly on the day. However, we were disappointed that wedding party members were asked to handle tasks that should have been managed by Patty. Our biggest concern was that the marriage certificate was left behind. Ensuring the certificate is on-site should have been a top priority for the coordinator, either the morning of the wedding or at the rehearsal. Overall, while Patty had strengths in certain areas, there were aspects of her service that fell short of our expectations.

Knowing that no couple is the same, we cater to each unique vision and inspiration that they have to conceptualize all the details in order to make their dream wedding a reality.

Awarded Best of Zola
We got married in October in the OC, and hiring the Joyfully team to help us plan our wedding was one of the best decisions we made! We went with the full-service package as my partner and I both work pretty demanding jobs. In hindsight, we are so glad we opted for the full-service package because doing so saved us so much time and stress. There is still so much you have to do and deal with during wedding planning so it was great to know that we had a team behind us taking care of things and keeping us on track. Blaire was our main planner, and we also worked with Hannah and Sharon along the way. All 3 ladies are so kind, knowledgeable, and overall just a pleasure to work with! With the full-service package, the team connected us with the most amazing vendors at varying price levels, which we appreciated. This saved us SO much time of having to do our own research. We also really appreciated the honest advice they gave us in terms of where to spend vs. where to save. This is the kind of insight that we would've never had on our own and was so valuable to receive from an experienced wedding planner. There were also a few times where Blaire stepped in and advocated on our behalf with some of our vendors which resulted in less stress for us and more money saved. They also worked with us to execute the vision we had in terms of design and aesthetics. Even though we had a few changes of heart with some design elements along the way, the team didn't flinch and gladly adjusted things for us. Joyfully also offers their own rental items (discount included with the full-service package), and renting most of our decor items through them also saved us a lot of time and money (can you sense a theme here?!). Fast forward to our wedding day, everything looked so beautiful and the evening went so smoothly. It was truly the happiest day of our lives! We had always heard horror stories of things going wrong on your wedding day, but for us, none of that happened & if it did, we didn't even know because Blaire and her team took care of it for us. We got so many genuine compliments from our guests about how much they enjoyed our wedding and a lot of that was because of the thoughtful planning efforts of Joyfully Co.! We are truly so grateful for the Joyfully Co. team and wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone searching for a wedding planner!

During college I got the chance to do a semester abroad in San Diego, and met this really special, handsome, American guy... You see it coming? YES!

We don’t even know where to begin because words truly can’t capture how incredible Clémence and The Perfect Pair Wedding were. From the very first meeting to the final moments of our wedding day, Clémence was so much more than just a wedding planner - she was our guide, our support system, and our biggest cheerleader. Her passion for what she does is so evident. You can feel the love and care she pours into every single detail. But what truly stood out was how much she cared for us. Clémence was there not just to plan the wedding, but to make sure my husband and I felt supported, calm, and cared for every step of the way. She wasn’t just a planner; she was a steady, reassuring presence, offering both her expertise and her emotional support, problem solving skills when we needed it most. Her eye for detail is unmatched. She coordinated every element with such thoughtfulness and precision that everything came together flawlessly. She brought out the culture and traditions so well! And it wasn’t just us who noticed - our friends, family, and loved ones are still talking about how beautiful the wedding was and how amazing The Perfect Pair Wedding team was. We’ve been receiving so many texts and calls from guests, all raving about how stunning the day was, thanks to Clémence and her team in coordinating so well. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your wedding with as much love, effort and care as if it were her own, Clémence is the one. She didn’t just create a wedding; she created a memory that we and everyone we love will cherish forever.

We booked Teyanna in 2022 for our August 2024 wedding and did not regret it one bit. It was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Teyanna was beyond accommodating and informative throughout the entire process. Her precise, creative, and professional "client-first" mentality shone through. From countless Zoom calls to meeting up in person to select flowers, it was more than we could have asked for and were expecting. Her professionalism and creativity showed through when we had to improvise our outdoor ceremony to an indoor one thanks to a horrific tropical storm. She called us on the morning of our wedding to ensure we were doing okay and went over every detail with both my husband and me to make sure she and her team didn't miss anything. We cannot wait to work with Teyanna again in the future.

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.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
I have waited 2.5 years to write this review and could not be more thrilled with our decision to work with Vine and Branch! Tatiana was the best investment we made into our big day, not only was she our planner but our planning bff! When we switched our wedding from California to Italy she didn’t even hesitate and jumped right into helping us pick our venue, research vendors and manage the most insane logistics I’ve ever seen! Whenever I was stressed or overwhelmed with a situation she was already working on figuring out a solution with the vendor and was ready with plan B, C and D just in case. Whenever we faced a design dilemma I would text her with the preface of “okay this might sound crazy..,” and crazy enough she was always on the same page. She was also honest with me about changing direction with certain plans if she knew something else would work better. When you live in Pinterest like I do, it was important that I had someone who gave me honest opinions and made sure the design worked together seamlessly! I have heard so many horror stories from friends about their planners not taking their budget seriously but throughout our entire time working with Tatiana she never pushed us to pick a more expensive option or made us feel bad if we had to drop something off of an invoice. She was also upfront with us from day 1 about what it would cost to create our vision. Day of the wedding she was an absolute rock star! I’ve worked in the industry and have been in charge of running events so letting go of control is hard for me but she managed everything without a hitch and I was able to be so present knowing she had everything handled! Seeing the design we have been working on for 2 years was absolutely surreal! Everything was stunning and all of our guests absolutely raved about everything! I truly couldn’t have done this without Tatiana and I already miss all of our crazy conversations and shared Italy reels! Let’s do a reunion in Ravello, okay? Ciao for now! Megan and Conor

TL;DR: Hire Jenna, you will be sad if you don't. She is the best. Jenna Carino was an absolute pleasure to work with. From the moment we met her, we knew that we were in good hands. i have worked in the wedding industry myself and had extremely high expectations for how I wanted to be supported on my wedding day and Jenna surpassed every single one. Jenna was incredibly helpful throughout the entire wedding planning process, making everything easy and stress-free. She was always available to answer our questions and provide guidance, she helped us with DJ recommendations, design and ultimately delivered the wedding of our dreams! Jenna went above and beyond to ensure that our special day was perfect. Jenna was our favorite person throughout the entire process, and as the bride I was constantly talking about how much I relied on her and loved having her as the person to lean on. I already miss working with her and both of us cannot recommend her highly enough. On our wedding day, we did not worry about a single thing thanks to her. She kept everyone organized, she handled many different personalities with professionalism, kindness, humor and grace. We are so grateful to have had Jenna as our wedding coordinator, and we would give her 10 stars if we could!

Calmerin was the best investment we made for our wedding, hands down!!! Glennie and Ashton were incredible from the start to finish. We knew from the very first phone call that they were going to 100% on top of it, and we were right! The organization and detail of this team is top-notch. We hired them for Jade Package, which is similar to day-of-coordination (which is really more month-of), and was super important given our majority DIY wedding with 170 guests. Plus, Glennie and Ashton were such lovely, kind, and genuine people!! While the bulk of the details and communication was in the month leading up to our wedding, we had access to all of the planning docs as soon as we sent our deposit. The planning docs are AMAZING and so detailed, making us feel like we could transfer all of our knowledge/plans/thoughts to them. This was really important for us since we were doing the majority of the planning, and they executed phenomenally. We were also able to ask them for questions, such as a DJ recommendation. Glennie and Ashton were fantastic during the thorough venue walk-through, video calls, rehearsal with our wedding party, and on the day-of. We were able to drop off all of our wedding stuff (2 SUVs full) the morning of with set-up directions, and we showed up and it looked better than we had imagined/planned for! The tight set-up window from our venue was stressful, but Glennie and Ashton made sure everything was ready to go. They were so great at communicating with our vendors (we got many compliments!) They only texted us 1 small question the day-of, knowing that we were stressed and busy. They were AMAZING throughout the whole night, making sure we were on schedule and that we had everything we needed. We could go on and on about how amazing the team was and how happy we are that we worked with them. Best decision, book them before their calendars fill!

I have been officially working as a professional wedding planner since 2017. My love of all things weddings and events began at an early age. I worked at a country club in the summers before my freshman and sophomore year of college, I worked on the food and beverage staff which included being a banquet server, and can you guess which was my favorite shift to work, you guessed it, the weddings. Once I got to the point in my life where my friends were starting to get engaged and I was a bridesmaid in their weddings, I found myself taking on extra duties and wanting to be more involved that it hit me, I need to pursue being an event planner.

I can't say enough great things about Miranda and her team! From our first conversation, we immediately connected with her and she already felt like a friend. She quickly understood our vision for our wedding and what was important to us. She encouraged us to make it very personal and unique--she never shot down any weird ideas we might've had but also brought an experienced perspective, while also keeping us on track with all of the little details and scheduling. She was so well-organized and professional while also keeping things stress-free, light, and fun. There were no questions too big, too small, or too personal with all the drama that can come with such a big event. Miranda was easy to reach via text/email, and took the initiative to reach out and schedule check-ins when needed to make sure we stayed on track with the huge to-do list that comes with a wedding. Her vendor recommendations & other suggestions were awesome, but she also respected a couple of the areas where we found our own vendors with no questions asked. She truly helped us get every detail settled, down to the napkins and our catering order details. She took all the stress off once we got to the month of and leading up to the wedding day, confirming with our vendors so we didn't have to worry about it whatsoever. Our wedding day went seamlessly thanks to her--it sounds cliche but it was the most fun and beautiful day ever and we were able to really enjoy it thanks to Miranda. We couldn't have asked for a better planner and I would recommend her to anyone getting married in the SD area! She also helped us with signage for the day-of and did a beautiful job at a super reasonable price.

Working with Michelle has been an absolute pleasure. We selected Michelle because of her long successful track record and also because we have close friends who admitted that Michelle was to be trusted. Selecting a planner can be difficult but thankfully we were blessed with the best one! My wife expects nothing but perfection so the communication between her and Michelle was constant. Everytime my wife had a question or some reassurance; Michelle was there to assist immediately. As a husband, what I appreciated the most was her attention to detail and her calmness. She would always jot down all of our wishes and requests in her notebook in which I respected because there were a lot of asks on our end. Such a professional, responsible, trustworthy person.
