Lindsey is simply the best, and I'm so incredibly grateful we found her to plan our wedding. Over…read morenearly two years of planning, her expertise, organization, and industry connections were absolutely invaluable. From day one, Lindsey was knowledgeable, kind, and genuinely invested in making our wedding everything we envisioned. Whenever I had a question, she always had thoughtful advice and recommendations. What I appreciated most was that she never pushed her opinions--instead, she shared her expertise while empowering us to make the decisions that felt right for us. She made the entire process feel personal and true to who we are as a couple. As someone who is extremely Type A, I expected to be stressed leading up to the wedding, but I honestly felt none. Lindsey was so organized, responsive, and dependable that I had complete confidence in her and her team. That trust paid off--our wedding day was absolutely perfect and ran seamlessly (or at least any issues were handled so flawlessly that we never knew about them!). She coordinated every detail with our vendors, allowing us and our families to be fully present and enjoy every moment. One of the reasons we chose Lindsey was her flexible planning approach. I loved that we could take ownership of the initial planning and vendor outreach while still having unlimited access to her guidance whenever we needed it. That level of support is rare, and her recommendations for vendors, from our DJ and rentals to our florist and cake, helped us build an incredible team that truly brought our vision to life. One of the most impactful moments during planning came at our 90-day meeting when Lindsey encouraged us to reconsider our decision not to do a first look. She thoughtfully explained that, based on our priorities, being present with each other, having time to ourselves, and valuing photography, it would enhance our day rather than take away from it. We trusted her advice, and looking back, it was one of the best decisions we made. She even built in a few private moments after the ceremony for us to soak in being newly married and enjoy some of our cocktail hour together, and those memories are among our favorites from the entire day. I'll genuinely miss my weekly (and sometimes daily!) emails with Lindsey. Working with her was one of the best decisions we made during our wedding planning process, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. If you're considering hiring a wedding planner, do yourself a favor and book Lindsey, you'll be so glad you did.

We would NOT have EVER been able to make it as special as Lindsey did. On our wedding day it was 101 degrees!! She was running around doing all of the things despite that and making sure every little detail was exactly as it should have been. This meant the world and we can express how deeply satisfied we are with her service. She went above and beyond our expectations. If you are in the market for a wedding coordinator in the Bay Area.. do not hesitate to call upon her services. Amazing!!!!

Echo is a great wedding planner, and I am happy we chose her to guide us through the process. From…read morethe initial phone call, I got the impression that she was organized, professional and honest, which was true throughout the planning process. Me and my husband got the middle-tier package, which did not include budget and vendor payments (note: this package excludes reminders to pay vendors as well). Echo's approach to wedding planning is methodical and well-organized. For instance, she created a dedicated folder where she would post/remove deliverables incrementally as we went through the process. That way, we did not feel overwhelmed since she already broke down the steps into smaller, manageable pieces. Or, another great example is organizing our email communications by different work streams so that we could easily refer to conversations by topic, and not lose track of items when discussing multiple vendors at once. Echo was always quick to reply on every communication platform. We trusted Echo not only for her planning skills, but also for her local knowledge of vendors. We followed her recommendations under the assumption that she would put together an excellent team to execute our vision. On the day of the wedding, they all worked together like a well-oiled machine. They say that something always goes wrong on your actual wedding day, but ours was had little/no stress. I know that there is a lot of background work for that to occur -- so thank you Echo!

As the groom, I had nothing to worry about the entire night, anything I needed her and her staff were readily available. For my wife's sake, the pressure of planning and management of the wedding was completely relieved. She felt relaxed once Jordan took over as point. We highly recommend their services. I would like to mention that our seating chart had a misspelling and Jordan spotted it and printed the word with same font and taped right over it. We didn't see it till after the wedding and we're quite impressed. That's the level of detail that this company brings.

My husband and I were married August 2018 and Lindsey was the first vendor we hired. I saw her…read moreprevious weddings in the Napa area and knew that she would help us execute our vision to a T. We started with a fun day of venue scouting up and down Napa and Sonoma, based on some recommendations she had sent over from our estimated budget, wedding size, and theme. She had great ideas for each venue and after the day was over we knew that she would be an asset to our wedding team. We asked Lindsey to come on as a Day of Coordinator, but she was helpful even before our three month planning period began. We ended up throwing Lindsey a curveball, by requesting her to help us at a venue in Lake Tahoe, with a venue and vendors she wasn't already familiar with. You never would have guessed this was the case because everything went off without a hitch. This venue was also pretty particular in set-up and break-down protocols which to me sounded overwhelming, but if there was ever a problem, I had no idea, because to me everything was as seamless as if Lindsey had been working there for years. Throughout the whole process, Lindsey was very supportive of our ideas and even did some major work to help us DIY a few elements of our wedding to cut costs down. Everything came out even more beautiful than I had imagined, and I have her to thank for this, she has a great eye. On the day of, she was like a ninja cueing everyone up and making the whole day as smooth and beautiful as possible. I really can't thank her enough, my wedding was a dream, and would recommend her to any of my friends highly.

Review This team is NO. FREAKING. JOKE!!!…read more I had my wedding on May 11th and the day couldn't have gone more perfect, and that's thanks to this team. Jessica & LaShawna are freaking stars! The planning process was seamless. I was so impressed with the attention to detail at the wedding venue walkthrough. We walked the entire venue, bounced ideas off each other for placement of every single item, and built a schematic. They even measured the venue to know exact placement of tables, chairs, etc. Planning the wedding was so easy/smooth thanks to the planning tools and check ins. Our rehearsal was straight to the point and very easy. We didn't need the full two hours allotted by our venue because they were on top of everything! Then came the wedding day. Our bridal salon overlooked the venue, so we were able to see the progress throughout the day. THEY WORK HARD!! and I mean, they pay attention to every single little detail to make sure the place looks beautiful and perfect. It was so impressive, we all couldn't stop talking about it. The wedding day went seamless, on time, and without a single issue. Jessica and LaShawna were there every step of the way, speaking to each other through their own personal headpieces. If anything came up or if I had any questions, they were there and ready to help where needed. My wedding wouldn't have gone as well as it did without them, I promise. I feel so grateful to have had the best team out there!! We also decided to hire the CLE House cleanup crew which was fantastic as well! Janet did a great job and cleaning/tidying up fast and making sure we got back all of our stuff. Thank you so much for being the reason why my wedding day went so perfectly CLE House!!!

5 Stars -- Absolutely Incredible!…read more Choosing Leah at Bertoli Bridal was hands-down the BEST decision I made for my wedding day, and honestly, probably one of the best decisions I've ever made, period! From the very first meeting, Leah's warmth, creativity, and genuine love for what she does shone through. She immediately made me feel heard and understood, and she took every single dream and Pinterest board idea I had and turned it into something even more breathtaking than I ever imagined. Leah took care of EVERYTHING. She did all of our flowers and every bit of our decor, and let me tell you: it was magazine worthy. When I walked into our venue on my wedding day, I was literally speechless. Every table, every bouquet, every single little detail was so thoughtfully designed and arranged. It looked like something out of a bridal editorial spread: elegant, romantic, fresh, and completely us. What I appreciated most about Leah is that she truly goes above and beyond for her brides. She listened to every idea, big or small, and somehow made it all come together flawlessly. She has such an incredible eye for color, texture, and style, I trusted her completely, and she more than delivered. The flowers were lush, vibrant, and so beautifully arranged. The decor was cohesive and dreamy, and I still have guests telling me it was the most beautiful wedding they've ever attended. And the best part? The price! I genuinely could not believe how reasonable and fair Leah's pricing was, especially given the level of service, care, and artistry she brought to our big day. I truly felt like I got so much more than I paid for, she made my budget go so far without sacrificing a single detail. If you're even thinking about booking Leah at Bertoli Bridal - do it. Run, don't walk! She will make your wedding day absolutely perfect and take so much stress off your shoulders. I felt so cared for, supported, and excited through the whole process because I knew I was in the best hands possible. Leah, thank you from the bottom of my heart for making my wedding everything I dreamed of and more. You are amazing at what you do and any bride who gets to work with you is truly lucky. You made my day beautiful, but you also made it easy, and I will never forget that. 10/10 recommend. I'd give her a million stars if I could!

When we first toured our wedding venue, we saw a wedding that was being set up that we thought was…read morebeautiful, so we asked the venue who was responsible for it. They told us it was Leah Bertoli and they had nothing but great things to say about her. We contacted Leah shortly after and began planning our wedding with her. As we met with her, she gave us a vendor list, offered a ton of decor options, and guided us along in our wedding planning. Unfortunately, due to COVID we had to postpone our wedding a year. Leah was AMAZING in helping us reschedule and even contacted all of our vendors for us. When the wedding day finally came (3 years after booking with her!) we were so thankful that we had chosen Leah. She was pretty much singlehandedly responsible for making the day perfect. Her floral arrangements were gorgeous, the table settings and centerpieces looked super classy, and there really was no detail that she had missed. On top of all this, it turns out that our dessert caterer was a no-show, but Leah handled the situation so well (and even managed to find a last-minute replacement dessert) that we had no idea until she told us the next day. Overall, Leah is absolutely wonderful and if she's available on your wedding date, book with her ASAP.

From start to finish, Grace was thorough, organized, and detail-oriented in every way. She planned everything down to the last detail and followed through on every conversation, even remembering things I mentioned offhand. Her responsiveness was incredible--if I needed something, she was there, and when I told her the type of services I was looking for, she would come back the next week with three vendor quotes, fully detailed with pricing and options. She seamlessly handled all communication with the venue and vendors, which took an immense load off my plate. Grace had a massive, meticulously organized spreadsheet that tracked every single task associated with the wedding, and she stayed on top of me to ensure I was on schedule for invitations, dress fittings, and choosing my bridal party. On the day of the wedding, Grace went above and beyond, even stopping by my house to pick up last-minute items and setting them up herself at the venue. She was truly wonderful and took so much stress out of the day. I can confidently say I would not have been able to pull off such an amazing wedding without her. I wholeheartedly recommend Grace and So Eventful to anyone planning a wedding--you'll be in the best hands!
