I called Bibi up and shared that I was looking to learn knife skills. She had me choose what I'd like to cook. I went with French theme - salad nicoise and apple tatin. You're greeted by her warm smile and enter her beautiful house - and you're completely transformed to a dream. She had all the knives laid out and explained the pertinence of 'mis en place'. She even recommended the must-have knives and where to get them without breaking the bank. She customizes the class on the fly depending on your skillset and wants. She went at the perfect pace, letting me give it a go while telling stories of the dishes and alternative options. She even made me an espresso with our apple tatin creation. I left feeling confident in making the two dishes on my own and extremely grateful to have met such a special soul.

Wow, it's no surprise Kirin and the TLC team have so many 5-star reviews! They were an absolute joy…read moreto work with and helped us bring our dream wedding to life at Reinstein Ranch this past September. Before the big day, we had two meetings with Kirin. The first was to go over the incredibly helpful planning materials TLC provided, where we shared our ideas for food and décor. Kirin not only listened but gave us excellent vendor recommendations. Every time I reached out after that, she was quick to respond with thoughtful advice, which I deeply appreciated. The second meeting was for final details, and Kirin went above and beyond, staying an extra 30 minutes to make sure everything was just right. She even handled an unexpected fire drill with ease, truly going to bat for her brides. Little did we know, that wouldn't be the last "fire" she'd put out for us! As a DIY bride, some of my décor didn't quite go as planned due to the wind. Kirin and her team were quick to jump in and fix everything, making it look beautiful. The biggest mishap of the day was our 8-foot floral arch snapping in half. Instead of apologizing and moving on, the TLC team cut the floral noodles off and attached them to a wooden arch provided by the venue, all while I continued to live my stress free life of getting pampered. She kept me updated which I also appreciated so that there were no surprises. On top of that, Kirin's team ensured everything ran smoothly--from paying vendors and sticking to the timeline to keeping us fed, hydrated, and stress-free. They even made sure no one got too rowdy and cleaned everything up so we could simply enjoy our day. All we had to do was return the next morning to pick up our décor. My only regret is that I only get one wedding! But for any event--whether it's a wedding, corporate gathering, or anniversary--I highly recommend TLC. They are the best of the best!

He notices details where others might not and yet manages to have a fun and fresh approach to each of his events. He would be a HUGE asset to anyone planning an event, no matter the size. Having an event coordinator is always an added cost that some people tend to want to overlook when planning an event, but I assure you, as the owner of a catering business, having someone like Marvin around is a huge benefit to make your special day perfect. Marvin is top notch and a cut above the rest. I would highly recommend using him to coordinate any special event you've got on the horizon!

Some of my favorite parts about BRICK were the late event time, no noise ordinance, flexible decor options, flexible vendor options, ample parking and more. The only vendor BRICK requires you to use, is their bar team, which is perfect because they were AMAZING. They were friendly, attentive, fast, and fun to have at the event. We supplied our own alcohol and they did the rest! During the planning stage of the event, BRICK was extremely responsive and helped us with every tiny detail. We worked closely with Hannah, Sabrina, and Victoria. I would absolutely choose BRICK again!

She is a consummate…read moreprofessional and we are thrilled to share our experience with her here on Yelp: The first thing you have to appreciate with Victoria is the fact that she is with you every single step of the way. She is excellent with both phone and email communication and is certain to make sure she is working within your comfort zone. She has built quite a rapport with San Diego's top event planning and catering services, and she shares this high quality with her clients as needed. Her strategy, though intimidating at first, makes our reflection on this event a very positive one: "I am going to front-load a lot of this stuff far in advance," she opened up with. The tasks were daunting, but looking back, we would not have done it any other way. My wife and I were up to the challenge, and completing a lot of the planning about 6-7 months in advance not only relieved stress later down the line, but allowed for Victoria to really work her magic in ensuring that every detail of our events were flawless. Victoria was incredibly flexible. She helped us plan both a wedding ceremony in Hawaii and a reception event in San Diego. A lot of resources were needed to pull both events together, and Victoria made sure that things ran seamlessly, even combating a last-minute rain storm in Maui! Victoria works closely her fiancé Paul Barnett, who works as a photographer in the San Diego area. One review on this site felt that this was a conflict of interest, but nothing could be further from the truth. Paul is a wizard with the lens and when given the opportunity to work with the thorough planning of Victoria, magic happens. Their planning chemistry not only makes them more fun to work with, but also results in a unbelievable product. We cannot say enough about Victoria's abilities. Utilizing her talents to help plan our wedding was the best decision we made for our special day. THANK YOU, VICTORIA!!!

We hired her about a year out and she was extremely proactive in getting us timelines, checking off to-dos, answering questions, and assisting in coordinating all vendor meetings. She is super organized and has a tool for everything which was really nice. Being the perfectionist that I am I had to be involved in EVERY detail and Victoria embraced this and even helped calm my nerves and indecisiveness often. She has recommendations for days and will always listen to what you like and what you don't like. She has been in the business for a long time so knows pretty much everyone. She brings a team of about 4 people to the wedding and ensures that everything is running smoothly. She ran our rehearsal super quickly and efficiently and there were no hiccups during the ceremony. She really came to life in executing the vision of our wedding. We got married at Coasterra which is a a very modern, industrial vibe and I always wanted a soft romantic garden wedding. To say she married the two vibes well is an understatement. She BLEW US AWAY. When I turned the corner and and saw all the florals and the decor and the tiny touches that brought the space to life I could have cried. She really gave me the perfect wedding. We can't thank Victoria enough and you should definitely not hesitate to book her for your wedding because she is INCREDIBLE.
