I've had the pleasure of working with Melissa from I Do Weddings and Events on several weddings,…read moreand every single time I find myself thinking, "This bride is so lucky to have Melissa!" She is incredibly professional, organized, kind, and truly one of the sweetest wedding planners I've ever worked with. She has such a calm, warm presence, which makes such a difference on a wedding day--not only for the couple and their families, but for all of us vendors working behind the scenes. Melissa works frequently at The Scripps Seaside Forum in La Jolla, and she knows this beautiful venue inside and out. Her experience there really shows in how smoothly everything comes together. I also have to mention her vendor recommendations. Everyone she brings onto her team is wonderful--professional, talented, and simply the best at what they do. As a wedding photographer, it is always such a pleasure to work alongside Melissa because I know the day will be beautifully organized and the couple will be very well taken care of. I highly recommend Melissa and I Do Weddings and Events to any couple looking for an experienced, caring, and genuinely wonderful wedding planner. She is an absolute gem!

What initially drew me to I Do Weddings... was her team's familiarity with San Diego wedding venues, and especially with our venue, the Scripps Seaside Forum. From our first consultation with Melissa, through every call and email, we immediately felt at ease knowing she was by our side. Melissa truly made the wedding planning process so much easier. She was incredibly responsive and always had an answer to my many questions in the months leading up to the wedding. I never felt like I was bothering her or asking too much, and knowing we had someone experienced and dependable to turn to made such a difference. On the wedding day, Melissa and her assistant coordinator, Elena, made sure everything went according to plan. My husband and I felt completely stress-free that morning because we knew Melissa and her team had everything under control. We were able to simply enjoy our day and be present in the moment, which was exactly what we wanted. I would HIGHLY recommend Melissa and her team to anyone planning a wedding. We are so grateful for everything they did to make our wedding day so seamless and special!

From the very beginning, working with Gina gave me complete confidence that every question would be answered and every detail would be handled. On the wedding day itself, I never had to worry about a thing because I knew she had everything under control. Her strong working relationship with RBI was incredibly valuable throughout the planning process and made everything feel seamless. Since I'm not local to the San Diego area and didn't always have a clear vision of exactly what I wanted, Gina's recommendations and guidance were invaluable. Anytime I needed vendor suggestions, she immediately sent thoughtful recommendations, and whenever I wanted to dive deeper into details, she made it happen. We met in person multiple times leading up to the wedding weekend, and she helped bring all of the details together so beautifully. She was always available to answer texts or calls, which made the entire process feel so much less stressful. I really appreciated how Gina truly followed my lead and helped execute the vision we wanted. By the time the wedding weekend arrived, I didn't have to think twice about anything -- it all came together so perfectly, and it truly was the most wonderful weekend. I'm so grateful for everything Gina did to make our wedding such a special experience.

We hired Ashley to be the day-of coordinator for our wedding, but she really went above and beyond…read moreher call of duty. A full two months before the wedding she was working out our wedding timeline with us via google doc. Her template made the whole crazy event seem manageable and organized, and allowed us to solidify the schedule of our wedding day quite precisely. Throughout the time leading up to our wedding, she helped us plan seating arrangements, procession order, and worked with our caterers (ArtQuest Catering) to organize their role within the schedule. Over a week before the wedding she sent us a to-the minute timeline of the day, and worked with us as we tweaked it right up until the day before. Despite being, as I mentioned, our day-of-coordinator, Ashley literally ran our rehearsal session the day before the wedding. She was on site before we arrived, took us through every step of the ceremony schedule, made sure everyone knew what they were responsible for, coached us our walking speed, asked pertinent questions, etc. On the day of the wedding, she seemed to be everywhere at once, managing what was a pretty complicated, orchestral event. We were not the easiest clients- our wedding was packed with a ton of tiny specific events, like surprise serenades, and a very short window for sunset photos, and a rock performance that included the bride and groom. Ashley was there through it all making sure we knew where we were headed next, that we were on time, and properly hydrated. Seriously, we were super stressed planning for this wedding, but on the day it happened everything went so smoothly and that was in large part to the care and precision and professionalism that Ashley brought to her work coordinating the day. Thanks for making our wedding day easy and worry-free and fabulous.

She shared her recommended vendor's list for transportation, draping, music, floral designs, etc, which helped me A LOT. She was so nice she even planned a surprised slideshow with the Maid of Honor and Mother of the Bride, providing them with additional options and suggestions based on her expertise in the area. Best decision ever, was to hired Ashley Mayo and her team ! I email her about 50 times (not kidding LOL), and every time she was nicer, polite and her responses were always on time!. She made the planning process a lot easier because she is without a doubt a Subject matter expert when it comes to weddings. I met with her about 2-3 times, explained by vision of my dream wedding and she was super responsible providing timeline, suggestions, contacting vendors, coordinating set up with the venue a few weeks before the wedding, in other words making sure everything run perfect for the day off. BEST PART... I did not worry at all the Day Off the wedding! She had it all covered, I was able to enjoy our wedding, decoration was set perfectly, all vendors were on time, she was even able to provide the final envelopes with payments to vendors so I didn't even have to worry about that. Ashley brought her assistance and they both made our day incredibly beautiful. Adore Wedding design team were polite and nice to our guest and I just want to THANK Ashley and her assistance for her services. So, if you need to hire a wedding planner, you should definitely contact Ashley.

What stood out most was how detailed she was and how confidently she knew exactly what she was doing. She had a clear plan, handled everything smoothly, and always knew what needed to happen next to keep the day running effortlessly. Most importantly, she knew our venue very well, had many years of experiences working at Paradise Point so everything was just so fluid. Even though there were small hiccups here and there, Korie knew how to solve it without having to bother me. Thank you for making sure I felt at peace on my wedding day. I would highly recommend Korie to anyone looking for a coordinator who goes out of her way to make sure all of your needs are taken care of. She made a huge difference and helped make our wedding day feel stress-free and well organized. Before my wedding, I interviewed a number of people and Korie stood out the most to me. I love that she is always so energetic and lively, I need that kind of person around me. Always nearby to make sure I was taken care of with whatever I needed. Thank you Korie for giving me a magical experience the past weekend, I can't thank you enough! :)

Right away Kirin was extremely collaborative, answering our questions about the venue and big picture items. About two months before our wedding, our lead planner Katey got involved and you could immediately tell how much of an expert she was helping us coordinate communications between vendors and giving us recommendations on layouts and day-of timelines. The actual day we could not have imagined anything better from the team. Katey kept the day flowing and was so proactive in coordinating all our vendors and friends that had important roles for the wedding. Throughout the day she was constantly keeping things moving while maintaining such a positive and fun attitude that big or small thing she needed us to do felt so exciting to us. There were so many things going on that day, it was so great to be able to trust Katey to know when and where we had to be. If you're looking for any level of wedding planning definitely go with TLC!

I was actually the bride that thought it could be possible to have a successful DIY wedding. My now…read morehusband, John, and I were definitely on a budget and thought, since we have friends that could DJ, cater, and a wedding party of 9 bridesmaids who were so eager to help, how hard could pulling a wedding of 150 guest be. After John and I picked a date and a venue that fit our style and budget, we began the real planning. As any bride would know, I quickly became overwhelmed. Don't get me wrong; I have been planning for years on my Pinterest Board. I knew I wanted something different, something not so traditional, and something that not only we would remember forever, but our guests would have a blast at. So, I pinned and pinned away on my Pinterest Board. I could not stop pinning. I think I may have been trying to avoid actually setting up vendors and planning for decorations, because I honestly did not know where to start. A wedding coordinator was looking more and more appealing to me. For years I followed, K&G events and Grace on social media, admiring the exceptional details and unbelievable set ups, I would call "eye candy". Two of my bridesmaids used K&G Events for their weddings and had nothing but positive things to say about their professionalism and style. John and I live in Las Vegas, but were planning a wedding in my hometown of San Diego. I also work as a night shift RN which I thought might make it difficult to coordinate phone meetings with K&G Events, but they accommodated us so easily. They were always at our reach and were efficient in responding to any random questions and thoughts John and I had throughout our planning. After our first sit down meeting with K& G Events, I already felt a major weight lifted from my shoulders. Grace and Cindy were so amazing. They are genuine people. They never made us feel like our budget was too small. They truly have a passion for what they do, and you could see it in every aspect of their work. It was not hard for John and I to trust them with what would be the Best Day of our Lives. Our wedding ran seamlessly. Not to mention, the night before the wedding, I had a tearful, overwhelming breakdown. I had to call Grace and Cindy to make some last minute changes, and they quickly could sense my anxiety. Grace has such a genuine big heart. She comforted me, eased my mind, reassured me of how amazing and big the next following day would be, and told me that I needed rest overall and that everything was taken care of and there was no need to worry. Grace and Cindy are so personable; they make you feel like they have known you for so much longer, in the way they comfort you and the way you are able to truly trust them Grace and Cindy were incredibly organized. They took care of so many details with vendors and relaying information from the vendors to our venue officials. They gave us options, and really let us find our own connection with the right Officiant who would end up marrying us. Grace and Cindy, made our "Boho Island Chic Wedding" come to life, from the amazing embellishments as centerpieces, to the beautiful dessert table, all the amazing lettering, the giveaway table, the cute framed quotes, and my two most favorite pieces of 'eye candy': our 'Boho Island' Sweetheart table and very Boho teepee and pillows photo-op that was set up outside during cocktail hour. To say the least, K&G made our dreams come true. Our guest were truly amazed, taking pictures of all the details just as much as they were taking pictures of themselves having a great time. It was definitely a wedding our family and friends could never forget. I would absolutely recommend K&G Events to anyone that wants a special day to be an extraordinary, absolutely amazing, Best Day Ever.

We did our tasting at the Abbey downtown and got to taste our meal at this venue. They asked a lot of questions so that they could just our meal just right. The Abbey was responsible for the catering and bar service at our event. A few months prior to our event, we were assigned our event captain Petr Trebin! HE IS FABULOUS! We loved his enthusiasm, attention to detail and style and focus on ensuring that everyone was well taken care of! Our event was seamless and everything went incredibly smooth. Upon entering our reception, the Martini Tree brought the wow factor! The hanging drinks caught the eye of our guests and warmly welcomed them into the reception. Many of our guests raved over the food and went out of their way to stress how delicious everything tasted. We chose a handful of delicious tray passed appetizers including the bacon wrapped figs, cream cheese wontons and soyrizo quesadillas and for dinner, chose the Abbey Signature Salad (mixed greens with walnuts) and Dual Entree plate with short rib, panko crusted chicken, truffle mashed potatoes and vegetables. Through out our event, Petr was a ninja- behind the scenes ensuring that everything was going as planned. He worked hand in hand with our coordinator and ensured we were well fed and that we had food readily at our disposal (SO IMPORTANT on your wedding day). He plated us all of our apps in a beautiful display. We actually felt full from how much we ate, which we hear is so rare from couples on their wedding day and were grateful for how attentive Petr was. In addition, our guests shared that the bartenders were rockstars! The drinks were pouring and it made for an epic dance party on the dance floor. The Abbey came highly recommended by our venue coordinator and we understand why. We had a great experience with them and are glad they were a part of our big day!
