Our review is long overdue, and now that things have settled down, we wanted to share our AMAZING…read moreexperience with Tiana and her team! We found Tiana through an IG ad, where she promoted Exotic Green Garden along with an all-inclusive wedding package at Lake Lindero Golf Course. The Exotic Green Garden IG page looked beautiful, and the package was within our budget, so we decided to reach out to learn more. Upon meeting Tiana, she was super friendly and honest about the costs, what can be personalized, and was patient in answering our many questions. We left the meeting feeling like we made a new friend, but still wanted to explore other options as she was the very first vendor we met in our wedding planning journey. After a week or so of reaching out to other florists, we decided that nobody could beat what Tiana offered, and her lovely personality was a huge plus. It was an easy decision to book Tiana as our florist, coordinator, and the wedding package for our wedding on October 4th, 2025 at Lake Lindero Golf Course. Leading up to our wedding, Tiana was very communicative with us every step of the way. It was so easy to reach her and hear back in a timely manner, whether it was through email, text, or a phone call. She was always ready to address our questions and concerns, and put our mind at ease. She even gave us suggestions on how to save money with our florals, which we truly appreciated. In addition to Tiana, we also worked with Adena (her sister) and Lance (her father and our officiant). We met Lance via FaceTime a few months before so he could learn about us, and he was so kind and funny that we knew he'd do a wonderful job making our ceremony go smoothly. He even had an additional call with us and sent reminder texts to make sure we were aware of what's needed for the day. We met Adena at our wedding rehearsal, where we learned she would be our day of coordinator instead. We were a little surprised since we thought Tiana would do this. But Adena re-assured us that she was familiar with the schedule and during the rehearsal, we were relieved to see how personable she was, and her professionalism matched that of Tiana and Lance, and we knew we were in good hands. On our wedding day, we received so many compliments from our guests on how much they loved the florals. We didn't see Tiana on our wedding day, but definitely felt how much love and care she put into them as they turned out beautiful, like exact replicas of our Pinterest photos. Several of our guests even snuck some away, which we didn't know till the end of the night lol! Our guests also praised Lance on how he conducted our ceremony and made it feel personable to us. Throughout the wedding, Adena constantly checked in on us to make sure we were hydrated, feeling ok, and keeping us informed about the schedule. She even jumped in to help cut a roast pig, which we did not expect her to do as we were expecting a specific guest to do it (who ended up not attending). We loved that Adena was so on top of everything the whole evening, while having a smile the whole time. We still reminisce about our wedding day, and how wonderful it was thanks to Tiana, Adena, and Lance. Even though it's been a few months, our guests still mention how lovely our wedding was, which makes us so happy to know that we chose a fantastic team. We highly recommend Tiana and her family/team for your wedding or special event. Thank you Tiana, Adena, and Lance for making our day feel extra special!!!

The entire experience with Tiana and her amazing team was stress-free and flawless. Attention to…read moredetail was professional and communication was always clear and personable. I would like to give a shout out to Tiana's assistant coordinator, Adena. Her personality and hands-on approach made the wedding day very memorable and the guests feel comfortable. Also, her recommendation for Lance , the Officiant, was perfect. His wit, humor and style helped keep us relaxed and calm and alleviate our nervousness. The whole process from beginning to end will continue to bring smiles to our faces for a lifetime.

Working with Courtney Haynes from One Sweet Day Weddings & Events was one of the best decisions we…read moremade for our wedding. I would hire her again 1000x. From start to finish, Courtney was an absolute delight to work with. She is incredibly organized, kept every detail and every person on track with ease, and did it all with such warmth, kindness, and positivity. She truly is a bright light. I am definitely not someone who was born to plan parties, so having Courtney to bounce ideas off of and guide us through the planning process took an enormous weight off my shoulders. My mom passed away a few years ago and I was afraid to plan a wedding on my own, but Courtney became more than a planner she became my friend. She made every decision feel manageable and always made us feel confident that everything was under control. On our wedding day, I never once felt stressed or overwhelmed. Every detail was executed flawlessly, and I was able to be completely present for every special moment instead of worrying about logistics. Seeing everything come together so beautifully was beyond anything we could have imagined, and that was all thanks to Courtney's incredible work behind the scenes. I also want to mention our DJ Brian (who we were able to hire alongside Courtney in a contract together). He also deserves all the praises - there was not one moment where the dance floor wasn't filled and he was SUCH a talented DJ. The online program he used to help compile our song requests was so easy to use and he was so engaging the entire time with our guests. Thank you Brian! We are so happy we trusted you as our DJ, all our family and friends raved about you.  Not to be confused with our amazing DJ - I also would love to recommend DJ Catering. Doug and Courtney have worked together for years and their teamwork was flawless. I had so many people tell us after the wedding that it was the best wedding food they have ever had, by far. And being able to rent all the tables etc through them made the process so simple.  Anyone looking for a wedding coordinator who is organized, professional, genuinely kind, and truly invested in making your day perfect, I cannot recommend Courtney and One Sweet Day Weddings & Events highly enough. She gave us the gift of being able to fully enjoy one of the best days of our lives, and for that we will always be grateful.    P.S. Courtney thank you for being the most prepared person ever and sewing my button back on my dress mid wedding we love you! You are the best. Thank you so much for being part of our story.

My experience working with Courtney Haynes from One Sweet Day was absolutely fabulous from start to…read morefinish. Coming from the mother of the grooms perspective and being a little old school, I didn't initially grasp the hiring of a Wedding Coordinator, however, it was the best decision that they made...... aside from getting married ;) Courtney allowed me to be involved (bride and groom approved) and she was kind, gracious and meticulously organized and kept me in the loop without missing a beat. Everything from start to finish was better than I could have imagined or hoped for. She is truly a special person as well as incredibly professional.

Working with Deborah and Valentin at Bella Vita was the single best decision we made while planning…read moreour wedding. From day one, they brought a rare mix of calm, focus/precision, creativity, and total dedication. What they pulled off for our 200-guest "California Coastal" wedding at Calamigos Ranch in the mountains of Malibu was nothing short of extraordinary. Flawless isn't a strong enough word because it implies a flaw would have been possible. From the layout to the flow, the band to the officiant and live performance, every single element felt effortless because behind the scenes, Deborah and Valentin were orchestrating every detail with incredible foresight and care. One of the many ways they went above and beyond? Helping us lock down an after-party venue before it had even opened to the public. Thanks to their local connections and creative problem-solving, we were able to tour and book a brand new space that turned out to be the perfect end to the perfect night. They handled vendor coordination with military-grade precision -- making sure timelines were tight, contractual requirements were met, and everyone was fully in sync. Their planning calendar kept us on track without ever feeling overwhelmed, and their taste level and attention to detail gave us full confidence from start to finish. On our wedding day, we didn't have to think about a single logistical thing. We were able to be present, soak it all in, and truly enjoy the moment because Deborah and Valentin had already thought of everything. If you're lucky enough to work with them, you'll understand what we mean when we say they don't just plan weddings...they make magic. We are forever grateful and recommend them fully. You won't be sorry.

Deborah is the best at what she does. We worked with her for a wedding like no other, it was…read morecomplicated in that we had a venue switch about 2 months prior to the wedding, and she helped navigate through it with us like the true professional she is. Always being positive and optimistic, she's an entire support system in one person! She's far more than a coordinator but also a source of comfort when nerves run high and she's everything we could've wanted from a coordinator. During our wedding she shielded us from a lot of things that I'm sure could've taken us away from our day, all the small things with vendors/rentals/layout/communication was executed perfectly, she has great attention to detail with emails/paperwork leading up to the wedding and maybe most importantly she really made sure that day-of we were going to have the BEST time of our lives, and that's exactly what happened. She really wants that for her clients, she's the first person we hugged after our ceremony and for good reason, because she's knows our wedding journey more than anyone, and she was along for the ride the whole time... never complaining and always having a positive uplifting can-do attitude. Even things like the rehearsal day before where all family is meeting for the first time, you can really see how pro she is directing people like a high production broadway show. Words can't express how grateful we are for Deborah's work on our wedding at the Maybourne, handling all the switching and nuances of a very complex wedding with all the vendors/paperwork/performers involved. Wedding have so many moving parts and she is masterful at having an eye on all things. Our wedding would not have been what it was without Deborah, she is the reason we can say it was the best day of our lives. And we have the highest recommendations for her and her team! -------- (figured to share a text to her we sent soon after our wedding): Hey Deborah! Claire and I just got settled home. What a whirlwind of a night that was! just wanted to send you a personal THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts for making that happen from start to finish. We woke up and recapped the whole day and were saying how it was truly the best day of our lives. Everyone was telling us they loved it. Everything came together so perfectly. Even the rehearsals, everything was so smooth. Haha. It turned out actually bloody beautiful haha. All the small things too were taken care of. We honestly couldn't have had it go any better. We love you! You are truly the best at what you do. Was a wild journey this wedding journey haha, but we couldn't have asked for a better person to share this journey with. Thanks also for the emotional support through it all, it really means a lot. Sincerely. So thank u thank u thank u. Was truly epic, best time our lives hands down and we have you to thank for that. It was a total success and mission accomplished haha. U're forever part of our core life memory now. We fam lol. You truly* are the best.

I contacted several event rental companies to provide chairs, tables and linens for a baby shower…read moreto be held in a park just down the street from us in Ventura. Cheers Event Rentals was very responsive to my inquiry and their prices were very competitive. The shower was only going to have about 35 people so it was a pretty small party and yet Cheers was very accommodating to our needs. Talking to Jessica on the phone was reassuring that all of the items were going to be delivered without any problems. Cheers came up with a great idea of delivering everything to the park in their trailer on Saturday morning so we could unload and then leaving the trailer so that we could load the chairs, tables and linens back into the trailer for them to pick up later. Since our event was small, all the other vendors were going to delivery the items to my house on Friday and pick up on Monday. This really saved us the trouble and time to move everything to and from our house on the day of the shower. We met Jessica at the park in the morning and everything worked out great with the convenience of having their trailer right there when we were done. Working with Jessica and Cheers Events was a very good experience and I would suggest contacting them if you are in need to rent items for your event. Our experience with Cheers was great and I'm sure yours will be too!!

Perfection. To put it simply, Kelly Jones created my dream wedding. I will forever be thankful to…read moreKelly and her team in making the most magical day of my life a reality. Kelly came highly recommended after my previous planner fell through and I couldn't have been luckier. I first met Kelly at a coffee shop and we spent over 2 hours discussing details, the aesthetic, and what I envisioned for my big day. Not only did she carefully take notes, but she genuinely listened and provided helpful, creative ideas. I was getting married in Malibu, but 5 months before the wedding, I moved to Northern California and although planning a wedding from afar was not ideal, Kelly seamlessly organized all of my vendors, guided all arrangements, and was always available for a late night phone call or text. One point to highlight is that not only is Kelly incredibly organized, but she also takes immense pride in her work and it shows. Kelly went above and beyond to help create a beautiful welcome sign, escort cards, table numbers, reserved seat cards, customized bar signs and the most perfect personalized napkins. Kelly spent hours on the phone and in person with me so that we could perfect floral arrangments, rentals, and she even made a vision board so that all of our vendors would be able to help create my vision. An additional point is that throughout the whole process, Kelly was mindful of my budget. She always offered suggestions that were in my price range and with her own creative hand was able to offer alternatives. On the actual wedding day, Kelly was a breath of fresh air (as all of us brides need) and not only was everything perfectly arranged, but every moment was coordinated seamlessly. Kelly provided thoughtful, calming direction and even stayed until the very end to help make sure we had all of our prized possessions (including my bouquet)! I could not recommend Kelly or Star Hansen Events more wholeheartedly. Thank you for making my dream wedding come true!

There aren't enough words to describe the experience and the beautiful wedding that Star Hansen and…read moreher team put together for my daughter and her husband! Star was amazing, having to reschedule their wedding THREE times, due to Covid (coordinating all vendors and so much more). Her eye for color, fabrics, flowers, and bringing to life the vision of the bride and groom is a true gift! She is meticulous with details and she was so patient and kind to our family! When their 'big day' finally arrived, everything was perfect. She and her team took care of every little detail, allowing the bride, groom and families to truly enjoy such a magical day. Thank you Star!!

I hired Heather for my destination wedding out in Ventura California. BEST DECISION I HAVE MADE FOR…read moreMY WEDDING. She got all my vendors lined up (all I had to do was pay), she gave me more than what I could ask for esthetically, she is not only an amazing planner, but an amazing human being.

You made my wedding everything I wanted and more.

Disappointing experience with full-service wedding planning:…read more We hired Heather at Three Sisters Events for the "Whole Shebang" full-service wedding planning package and terminated our agreement after over seven months. It was nowhere near what we expected or what was advertised. I was the bride and Heather's primary point of contact, so most communication went through me. My husband was involved behind the scenes. I kept him updated, we discussed concerns together, and both agreed to move on. To be fair, Heather was responsive when we reached out, especially by text. But that was also the problem. We were almost always initiating conversations, asking for updates, and following up. At one point, I intentionally stopped initiating contact for over a month to see if she would take the lead. Nothing changed. Our package advertised monthly meetings, design assistance, budgeting, vendor coordination, guest accommodations, and stationery support. In seven months, we had only TWO planning meetings. Other services never happened or required repeated prompting. We raised our concerns multiple times. Heather would say things like "trust the professional," "enjoy the process," or explain that she adapted her approach to each couple. We wanted to trust her and enjoy being engaged, but kept wondering what was being handled. Things might improve briefly, but we'd end up right back where we started. The budgeting was especially frustrating. Instead of helping us understand what was realistic for our guest count, rentals, and vision, Heather put together numbers that seemed to fit on paper. Once actual vendor quotes came in, we realized how far off they were. Our new planner finally gave us a realistic picture of the costs. We weren't expecting someone to magically make everything cheaper. We needed experienced guidance to make informed decisions. Design was another huge disappointment. The mockups were basic, and our new planner discovered that the table sizes and quantities in Heather's reception layout didn't actually fit the venue space. That's the kind of thing I expected a professional wedding planner to know. We researched rentals and layouts without the guidance we paid for. Looking back, those seven months were incredibly stressful. We hired a full-service planner to help manage things we didn't know how to handle ourselves. We wanted to be involved in planning our wedding, not responsible for managing the person we'd hired to plan it. That wasn't what we expected from the highest-tier package. Eventually, we hired another planner just months before our wedding. Yes, it meant losing our deposit and paying someone else, but the difference was night and day. Our new planner took ownership, used structured planning tools to keep us organized and involved, communicated proactively, helped us make realistic decisions, and brought our design vision together. For the first time, we actually felt like we could enjoy the process. After switching, we requested a partial refund of $900 from the $1,836 deposit we paid, considering the services we felt we hadn't received. Heather never responded. I hesitated to write this and waited until after our wedding so I could reflect rather than react out of frustration. There's more I could share, but Google reviews have limits! I wish we'd understood what to expect before hiring Three Sisters Events. Heather may be a better fit for coordinating a wedding you've mostly planned yourself. But if you need true full-service planning, I'd strongly encourage you to ask exactly what that support includes. We genuinely wish we'd switched sooner. Our wedding was everything we dreamed of, but that success came after the difficult and costly decision to replace a planner who wasn't delivering the support we needed. We found someone who actually delivered on the promises of full-service planning. Based on our experience, we would not recommend Heather or Three Sisters Events for full-service wedding planning.

My husband and I got married in September and really glad we went with Mia Bella to help us with…read moreour wedding at Walnut Grove. We first spoke to Katie for an initial call and she was really knowledgable and friendly that I was sad to hear we would be working with another coordinator, but Emily happily jumped on a call to ease any worries I may have had. We went with the Month of Coordination service which allowed us to do most of the planning ourselves (most of our vendors were locked in early on, but MB provides a lovely list of vendors they've worked with in case it's needed). Emily had us fill out a very detailed questionnaire (you can tell they know what they're doing with the questions being asked) and went over every detail with us, including areas we were still figuring out. She was available for any questions I had as well leading up to the day, made sure to reach out to all of our vendors with the master timeline, and even provided some guidance for my cousin that was officiating for the first time. A big bonus is how many weddings they've coordinated at Walnut Grove that they're very familiar with the venue and the folks from Command Performance Catering. Emily led us through rehearsal the day before and made sure the actual wedding day went smoothly. She made it possible for us to focus on enjoying the day with our friends and family, but still keep on schedule with her gentle reminders.

We held our wedding at Walnut Grove and it was clear that Emily knew what she was doing, especially at that venue! I am definitely a more anxious bride and had many questions, emails, texts. Emily responded to each one with so much grace and expertise. Wedding planning can be isolating at times because there is so much to do - but I really felt like I had a partner in Emily. She was so responsive and enthusiastic! Her excitement and calm attitude carried me in moments I wanted to give up wedding planning altogether. On our wedding rehearsal - our bridal parties all remarked at how pleasant yet professional Emily was. She really made sure everyone knew what they were doing. Which was especially difficult because we had a bridal party of about 20+ people! On the day of the wedding, we had very strong winds (at an all outdoor venue) and I was blissfully unaware of the chaos occuring. But Emily and her assistant Katie handled the situation so well. Whenever Emily checked in with me regarding things that were not going to plan, she had so much confidence and peace that it was easy for me to make quick decisions. I can really say I was present throughout the wedding, and focused on getting married! Everything else, Emily handled so beautifully. I am forever grateful to Emily and Mia Bella Weddings and you will not regret having them on your vendor team!

Since my husband and I both have very demanding jobs and live in the Bay Area (while trying to plan a wedding at Saddlerock in Malibu), and we had a ton of family & friends which blossomed into a 250 guest wedding, we ended up booking the full service planning/design package, and we are so happy we did! Meg was able to magically coordinate all our vendor meetings into 2 consolidated trips to LA, and whatever wasn't figured out then, was discussed in our infinite (and infinitely helpful) chain of emails & Skype/phone chats during the year before the wedding! She pointed us toward amazing vendors who we wouldn't have otherwise found (we were especially thrilled with our DJ, florist, and videographer), and made sure to offer a variety of price points for each option. Meg took care of setting up all our spreadsheets and keeping us on track for those little details we wouldn't have otherwise thought about, but were more important than we realized. All the while, she worked closely with us to make sure each piece matched our vision and made our crazy ideas come to life -- including a flash mob & a bar trivia style game!
