It goes without saying that when it comes to event planning, Andrina gets it! She's insanely creative and at the same time refreshingly collaborative. When I contacted her about organizing a romantic marriage proposal, she made it a priority to understand my vision and then build off of it. Given that I wanted to propose in Big Sur but couldn't come up from LA without getting caught, Andrina scouted several locations, took photos and videos, and kept me updated on all our options as they developed. She was transparent in all our communications and was always conscious of our budget when giving suggestions. The execution of this proposal was flawless and exactly what I imagined. There was a beautiful picnic arrangement waiting for us as at a secluded, picturesque spot where photographers were inconspicuously pretending to be tourists until I popped the question. After an intimate photoshoot we proceeded to a surprise dinner with the rest of the family at a local restaurant, where the table had been pre-arranged with flowers and custom menus. It was such an incredible day and I can't thank Andrina enough for making this important moment happen. Cheers!

Awarded Best of Zola
I’m not even sure where to begin to describe how amazing Events by McKenna is at what they do!! McKenna is the most kind, helpful, and enthusiastic person to assist you during such an important time in your life. She made sure everything went perfectly on our wedding day and every day leading up to it! When we first started our wedding planning journey, we only knew where we wanted to have it, and due to the venue location not regularly being used for weddings, we needed to outsource vendors for everything. That's where McKenna came in and helped us out by hand-picking every vendor that she knew would provide the exact things we were looking for. From catering, florals, furniture rentals, DJ, and all the little details, she knew who would be perfect for the job and she was right about every single one! Every time we had a question or a crazy idea, she had an answer right away and she would do everything she could to make it happen. One thing that we were really hoping for was getting a disco ball above our dance floor, but since we were outdoors, it wasn’t looking promising. McKenna was the one who made sure that we got our disco ball, and it was absolutely perfect! That’s just one example of the many ways McKenna ensured our dream wedding would become a reality. On the day of, McKenna and her team were so efficient and handled everything so that my husband and I could relax and focus on ourselves. We got to our venue and everything was already done and ready to start the day! McKenna was amazing at time management throughout the day, and she was so helpful to not only us, but our families, wedding party and guests as well. Everything went perfectly on schedule and all the crazy ideas that we had came to life with no issues! It was truly the best day of our lives and it wouldn’t have been possible without McKenna’s help! I could write so much more on how incredible Events by McKenna is, but to sum it all up, they are the best choice for your wedding planning and coordinating needs and you will not regret choosing them for your big day!!

She took control of communication with our vendors several months in advance and was extremely organized. Her expertise with wedding planning & coordination made us feel very confident going into our big day. Clemence and her team made our actual wedding day and absolute breeze – my husband and I both felt like every aspect was under control and no one was left wondering where they needed to be next, and it was such a relief to not have to handle those details ourselves. We never had to worry about anything going wrong because Clemence had everything under control at all times.

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.

That unexpected turn of events only fueled my determination to turn my passion into a full-time business. And so, Kaci Danae Events was born.

We LOVED working with Brittany. We had monthly meetings with her for over a year, from the venue search phase to the handoff to our month-of coordinator, and she was so helpful. She helped us with the searches for everything—venue, DJ, photography, day-of coordination, flowers, catering—and provided us timelines and organization tools that were genuinely invaluable. We had very little idea going in exactly what was needed to plan a wedding, but Brittany’s collaboration made us feel very on top of things. She also worked with us to troubleshoot things when issues arose (like our flower provider not following some of our communication requests). And an added bonus is that she’s fun to hang out with lol—we really enjoyed our monthly meetings!! Would absolutely recommend the Venlist (and Brittany specifically)!

We were referred to Savvy Weddings because Amanda had coordinated my sister’s beautiful wedding in Hawaii. When my sister mentioned that Amanda had a California counterpart and partner, Sandra, who handled all California weddings, we knew we had to meet her. From the moment we connected with Sandra, it was clear—she was an absolute godsend! I truly can’t imagine having planned my wedding without her by our side. Sandra was attentive, thoughtful, and with us every step of the way. Even though we only booked the “month-of” service, she generously provided support well in advance, joining us for vendor consultations and venue walkthroughs nearly a year before the wedding. She went far beyond what we expected, giving us peace of mind through the entire planning process. Her dependability and calm presence made everything feel manageable, and I knew I could trust her completely. When the wedding weekend finally arrived, Sandra and her amazing team were on top of every detail. They took care of everything seamlessly, helping me stay calm and present—something I didn’t think would be possible with all the wedding-day jitters! Thanks to Sandra, my wedding day was everything I dreamed of and more. So much of the magic we experienced was because of her and her incredible team. I will forever cherish the memories of that day, and I am endlessly grateful to Sandra for making it all happen. If you’re considering Savvy Weddings, do yourself a favor—hire Sandra. She will make your wedding dreams come true!

Orralyn did an incredible job helping us plan our wedding in Carmel by the Sea. She was organized, knowledgeable, fun, calm, went above and beyond and I can't imagine the day without her presence. My husband was groomzilla (meticulous about every tiny detail) and Orralyn made sure everything went perfectly I was completely calm and relaxed the day of the wedding because I had Orralyn taking care of every detail. If you're getting married, I would highly recommend her! People still tell us our wedding was one of the best they have ever been to. Thank you Orralyn!
