Working with Nicole and the team at Mostest was an absolute pleasure. From the moment we first reached out, Nicole was communicative, prompt, and incredibly kind in her responses to all of our questions. Her expertise and easygoing, calm demeanor really put our Type A brains at ease throughout the planning process. Nicole was great at handling the day-before and day-of coordination between our bridal party, vendors, and the venue, ensuring everything ran smoothly. She even joined us on a few vendor calls, put together a realistic and well-organized timeline that we were able to stick to, and ran our rehearsal seamlessly.

Hi! I am Clemence the face behind The Perfect Pair Wedding :) I am born & raised in France, in the city of love Paris. 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.

Awarded Best of Zola
After booking my wedding venue early this year, I found Serene Events and Design on my venue coordinator's recommended vendor list, which led me to Korina. Right from the start, she responded so promptly and professionally that I was genuinely impressed by how on top of everything she was. Since I didn't grow up in the U.S., planning a Western-style wedding felt unfamiliar and overwhelming. I had my own ideas and vision but wasn't sure how to bring them to life. Korina was the only planner I reached out to, and I felt so lucky she was available. It really felt like fate to have found such a dependable and supportive planner. From the beginning, I felt completely overwhelmed, but Korina's guidance, timelines, monthly to-do lists, and vendor recommendations helped me get on track. Balancing work, life, and wedding planning was not easy, but Korina's support made it all so much more manageable. I knew early on that I wanted to share my experience so that future brides could find and trust her just like I did. After reading her reviews and seeing photos of her work, I knew Korina was the one. What stood out most was how Korina respected my personal style and was willing to coordinate many design and planning elements to match my vision. She made me feel heard every step of the way and went out of her way to ensure that each detail - from table linens and napkin colors to dinnerware - aligned perfectly with what I imagined. You can tell she genuinely cares about her brides and takes pride in making each wedding unique and true to the couple. On the wedding day, Korina and her assistant, Eileen, were amazing. Their attention to detail and commitment to making everything run smoothly meant I did not have to worry about a thing. I am someone who easily gets anxious and caught up in the details, but with Korina and Eileen, I was able to relax and fully enjoy every moment with my husband, family and friends. After the wedding, Korina and Eileen handled the packing and cleanup so efficiently, it was impressive. Thanks to Korina, my wedding day was beautiful, stress-free, and exactly what I had dreamed of. I am grateful to Korina, Eileen, and the entire team for everything they did to make it all come together. Thank you, Korina, for making my dream wedding a reality!

At JCDesigns, we believe wedding planning should be fun and stress-free. Your engagement should be filled with celebrations of your love with family and friends—not worrying about your to-do list. Our goal is to bring your vision to life on your wedding day by incorporating personal details and unique touches that showcase your love story and express who you are as a couple. Our passion is creating and facilitating the perfect event, where everything looks stunning, runs smoothly, and my couple and their guests not only enjoy themselves to the fullest, but experience something truly special and memorable!

I was trying to cut corners on wherever I could as Weddings are just outrageously expensive. My venue required a coordinator, so I looked and reached out to a few. Most never responded to me or were just way too expensive. Finding Jenna was meant to be. She really made me realize how valuable a wedding coordinator is and above all how valuable she was to us. Jenna made all of the difference with how smoothly planning went amd how the day rolled out. I didn't have to worry about a thing because Jenna literally took care of it all - set up, pick up, making sure everyone was where they were supposed to be, and so much more that I am likely unaware of. She is extremely professional and on top of it all and my husband I highly recommend her. All of our guests commented on how smooth the wedding went and for us was nearly stress free. Thank you Jenna!

If you want to make your wedding planning even a fraction easier, hire Calmerin. We got their Jade package and even though that’s their smallest package it was so so helpful. We talked with Glennie and Amanda to talk over big picture stuff, get recommendations for other vendors, etc. and then the first time I met them was for the venue walkthrough. They’re the professionals and so they brought so many excellent questions for us and for the venue. It really helped us know what we still needed to figure out and prepare for the big day. Then, for the rehearsal/walkthrough and the big day, they were there every step of the way to help get the whole timeline sorted out. Both Amanda and Glennie were so kind and professional; they helped the whole day run so smoothly. The last thing, but really SO important and crucial: they helped with the breakdown and packing everything up. While we were all dancing on the dance floor and having a blast, they were helping to gather up everything and get the venue set back as it needed to be by the end of the night. It was such a weight off our shoulders for them to just handle all of that. They were always on top of everything and it was all so wonderful. Hire Calmerin for your wedding, and breathe a sigh of relief that you have them on your team because now it will surely be a beautiful day. Thanks Glennie and Amanda for everything! It was such a joy to work with you both!

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.

If you're looking for a wedding planner who prioritizes logistics to ensure everything runs smoothly and infuses every ounce of your personality into the design of your day, you've come to the right place! We service San Diego, Santa Barbara, Palm Springs, Temecula, Santa Ynez, Los Angeles, Orange County, and beyond.

I can say with full confidence that our wedding would not have been possible without Bryce Gaston Events. From the beginning, Bryce took my vision and brought it to life in a way that exceeded our expectations and what we even thought was possible. Bryce not only ensured every detail was perfect but also advocated for us when it came to dealing with a VERY challenging venue that fought us on just about everything. Her extensive relationships with vendors gave us access to the best options, and she skillfully negotiated on our behalf, always keeping our best interests at heart. Even when my hair and makeup canceled 9 days before the wedding, she was able to help me secure the best artist who was better than who I'd originally chosen, myself. When the venue’s freight elevator broke on the day of the event, Bryce already had a Plan B in place, ensuring everything went off without a hitch. Thanks to her preparation and quick thinking, the day was flawless and our guests are still talking about our wedding! She was organized in the way she presented how everything would look day of, and always had a creative solution. Everything felt custom and tailored and was true to who we are. Her experience is truly unmatched. Truly every detail and minute of the day was accounted for with aisle planner and a schedule. If you want a planner who truly cares, has impeccable taste, is patient, and goes above and beyond to ensure your day is perfect, Bryce is the one. She was always accessible and had a creative solution for any issue that arose. I can't say enough about Bryce, but I know that we genuinely couldn’t have done this without her. I learned so much from working with her and I am forever grateful for how she brought my dream vision to life.

I had such a great experience working with Elizabeth Worrell Weddings & Events last month! Elizabeth truly went above and beyond, ensuring everything was perfectly organized and running smoothly. Even with a minor hiccup from the MUA causing a slight delay, she kept everything on track and made it all work seamlessly. As the wedding photographer, I especially appreciated how Elizabeth coordinated everything so well. The wedding was hosted at Estancia in La Jolla, and the couple wanted to head to Torrey Pines Glider Port for sunset photos. Elizabeth made sure we had 20 minutes for the photos and kept me in the loop throughout. After the photo session, we returned and transitioned smoothly to the grand entrance—it was all so well managed! The wedding was absolutely beautiful, and Elizabeth made sure every vendor was taken care of and that we stayed on schedule as much as possible. Her attention to detail and clear communication really made all the difference. If you want someone who genuinely cares about making your event amazing, Elizabeth is definitely the way to go!

When I arrived to the venue and saw everything, I was taken aback by how stunning everything looked — we had a mix of florals, candles, and fruit for our decor so getting everything set up was no small feat. Karen’s creative eye flawlessly brought my vision to life and I am so so grateful! Outside of decor, Karen’s organization, vendor communication, and speedy cleanup at the end of night was top-notch. We were able to truly enjoy the night, knowing Karen was there. She even took fun videos of the reception on my phone, which were great to watch the morning after to help relive the night :’) Literally each one of my vendors raved about how much they loved working with Karen — if that’s not enough to convince you to hire her for your next event, idk what is! SUCH a pro. Would 100% recommend Karen to any couple!

I knew from the first phone call with Dre that I needed her as my day of coordinator. I thought I had most things covered, being type A and a planner, but she really went above and beyond what I thought was needed and made sure all bases were covered. I was not worried about a thing the day of the wedding because I knew she had made sure all boxes were checked and the peace of mind was worth it all and more! She knows how to run the show and to keep things to schedule and always kept myself and my husband in mind through all the moments of the day. She was there through set up and through the tear down. She was professional but also made me feel at ease with her friendliness and her care. I cannot recommend her enough.

We’ve had the pleasure of working with Sonya and the SDEPC team at multiple venues here in San Diego. Each event that we’ve been part of has been planned meticulously. When it comes to the day of the event, things go smoothly, timelines flow efficiently and both clients and vendors are always happy. My favorite thing that I’ve witnessed about Sonya is her ability to communicate and put her clients and vendors at ease with her event planning knowledge and “We can make it happen!” attitude.
