We had several incidents happen on my wedding day that would have been catastrophic if Meghan wasn't there to diffuse the situations and get everybody back on track. She is very professional, prompt and she can really follow your vision. When I arrived the day of, everything looked exactly how I imagined it would. Not only did Meghan ensure that our wedding day went smoothly, she was also a pleasure to work with. She makes you feel instantly comfortable and at ease. She also provided me with some great tips at our pre-planning meeting. Meghan is very skilled at coordinating events and my guests could not stop commenting on how amazing she was. Thank you Meghan!!

I am very disappointed in what Meghan did for my wedding. She was very unorganized, unhelpful, and…read moregenerally a waste of money. I met with her a few times before the wedding, and each time I felt more stressed after talking with her than I did before. On the day of our rehearsal, she double-booked herself. We had previously arranged with her that the rehearsal would start at 6, but she insisted that it was supposed to start at 5:30. She then complained about my pastor and other wedding party members who were late because of a fire. To top it all off, she left around 6:15, which meant that my pastor was forced to run the rehearsal without her (which worked out for the better). In all of the waiting around before we started, she made fun of my family members and was generally rude to everyone. On the day of the wedding, we woke up to pouring rain. I was distraught, as could be imagined with an outdoor wedding. After my bridesmaids and family finally calmed me down, Meghan calls freaking out, asking me what my plans were to deal with the rain. Obviously, this upset me again as she had said that I was not to worry about the rain plans or anything else, especially on the day of the wedding. Everything was worked out by my mom's best friend, who ended up taking on all of the roles that Meghan should have on the day of the wedding. Finally, Meghan just would not leave me alone! She kept talking to me when I was just trying to look around at my wedding, chatting casually with guests instead of working, and did not keep the events of the night moving. I am very disappointed with Meghan's service and hope that others will take my experience into consideration when choosing a wedding planner or coordinator.

Janine with Lace & Champagne events was our day-of coordinator for our wedding and we are so glad…read morewe lucked out finding her. She took so many things off my plate months before the wedding and was a constant calming force when I needed it the most. She made our timeline, got all the vendors on the same page, orchestrated our rehearsal and completely and perfectly executed everything on the big day. She set up everything exactly as I had it pictured in my head (if not better) and was there whenever I needed her throughout the day. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone looking for a wedding coordinator in San Diego. She is kind, responsive, friendly, helpful and willing to work with you to make sure your budget and needs are met. As a wedding planner myself, I knew the importance of having someone there to make everything run smoothly and I couldn't have done it better myself-she's a pro! Janine and her assistant, Robin, were an absolute pleasure and we can't thank them enough!

She offered…read moreto help us out as a day of coordinator because our other wedding coordinator found out that her sister was graduating from college on the morning of our wedding. Having said that, I am SO GLAD that she stepped up to help out. She was fantastic! I am a worrier by nature, so the fact that I didn't have to worry about anything during my wedding or reception was wonderful. She confirmed with all our vendors, showed up early to make sure everything and everyone was where they were supposed to be when they were supposed to be there, ran around constantly to fix any little problems that popped up - example: the caterer forgot the coffee and the coffee pot wasn't heating properly. The only thing I heard of it was when Hien asked if I was okay with her associate running to Starbucks and spending $30 to get coffee there. And that was it. When I got back, I also found out that she'd called the caterer, explained the situation, and got a refund for the coffee pot. I didn't have to do anything! I really can't say enough about how helpful she was, how calm during the last frantic days of the planning, how good she was about making sure that my then-fiance' and I were on the same page about how things were going to happen. There is no way I would have enjoyed my wedding day as much as I did if she hadn't be there to help.

I will review both the good and bad about having Michelle as my partial day of coordinator. I met up with Michelle months before the wedding to talk to her about hiring her for a 4 hour shift during my wedding. She seemed nice and courteous. I needed her for 2 hours to set up some DIY items I had made for the ceremony and 2 hours for reception. I had made all the things for the wedding and she didn't have to provide anything. The good was that she was responsive to phone calls and texts. She came to our rehearsal but had to leave early for a concert which I didn't mind very much bc since she was a partial coordinator and also came early so I could show here where I wanted things to go. I did notice that her attitude towards my other vendors was not pleasant on the wedding day. I saw her be snappy to at least two of my other vendors who were really patient and nice but I was too busy as a bride to really think anything of it at the time. Later on I found out that she snapped directions at my bridesmaids and groomsmen to do tasks that I had paid her to do. They said at one point she was just sitting at a bench and not doing anything. She complained that she didn't know where things were suppose to go so my groomsmen took the blueprint that I had printed out for her and did the set up themselves. Several of my bridesmaids complained that she was rude and just didn't do her job. Michelle also complained that I didn't tell her what to do with our centerpieces even though I did multiple times. Overall, I would say my bridal party did at least 80% of the set up of our ceremony (they transported and set up the arch, the flowers in the aisle way) and finished setting up some reception tables like the dessert table. Michelle had to do the rest and set up some signs at the ceremony, put up some reserve seats signs for family, help us with procession, set up the dessert and check in table and centerpieces at the reception but she did not do it with grace and was rude to my friends and the other wedding vendors. We had a lot of mishaps as all wedding do, some vendors were really late but the only vendor complaint I got was that Michelle was rude. I was very overwhelmed that day but even I was not rude to my vendors and my guests and bridal party. For someone that is paid almost $90 a hour just to be at my wedding and set up some items, she didn't do a good job by any means. I wanted Michelle there to help take the load and burden off my bridal party but it sounds like she made it worse for them. I hope she will be able to be more courteous to her future bridal parties because as a bride, hearing that your 4-hour coordinator was rude and snappy to your friends and vendors is not pleasant. My friends had to jump in and help us despite dealing with her attitude. I can not recommend her and I'm sorry to say that if I could redo the wedding, I would go with a different coordinator or none at all.

Talissa you were a dream come true!!…read more I had 4 months to plan a my dream wedding... so it was VITAL for me to find someone who demonstrated flexibility, passion, and attention to detail. When I came across Talissa's page on the knot her photos alone demonstrated just that. And when we got on the phone for an initial consultation and then met in person soon after; her charisma, charm, and preparedness demonstrated everything I knew I needed! In the end she became a friend whom I will always hold close to my heart. Her compassion, grace and elegance throughout the 4 months was everything I needed to get through the arduous moments wedding planning comes with. She expertly mimicked styles I desired with little to no guidance or help from me. Fashion is my expertise... But dressing a bare auditorium like ours (scripps seaside forum) is not something I could ever do! You really have to have that special eye. She was attentive to detail and made it a point to always stay within budget. Laboriously working with the vendors to make sure we were always within budget. She made miracles happen! They say you'll never work a day in your life if you love what you do... and after 4 months of working with Talissa I knew that statement held its truth. Her work is effortless and extraordinary. She treats you like you are her ONE AND ONLY client. She puts you at ease from beginning to end. And she is a BOSS.

We first took a look at the venue about a year in advance and met Talissa. She took us around the…read morespace and was very knowledgeable. She answered all the many, many questions we had and was able to assist us with the planning. We were so excited to ask Talissa to be our event coordinator. As the big day came up, we met with Talissa a handful of times. She always kept us on track and was very receptive to our ideas or requests. She communicated regularly via phone and email. From the rehearsal to the wedding night, Talissa was a strong leader and coordinator. She set up our wedding décor perfectly and also made sure that my husband and I were having a good time during our wedding day. When I arrived at the venue on my wedding day, I found a beautiful flower arrangement and letter written to me from Talissa, wishing me luck on this day. So touching! I had a blast on my wedding day and Talissa had everything from set up to take down under control so I could relax and enjoy. I was not sure I would be able to find a coordinator that would be as focused on small details as I usually am, but Talissa was fantastic. From her bubbly and friendly personality to her professionalism and organization - she was the perfect event coordinator!

Heather Keith is the reason you hire a coordinator - period…read more We hired *Heather Keith Events* to plan our son's Bar Mitzvah (and she was there throughout running the show), and working with Heather was for the lack of a better was to say it just a fantastic experience from start to finish. She was well worth it (and candidly wasn't too expensive to hire either). Heather managed everything--from coordinating numerous vendors and rentals to handling multiple food options, designing thoughtful centerpieces (without breaking the bank), and bringing in an outstanding DJ who kept guests of all ages fully engaged (which is crucial). One of the things we appreciated most was Heather's transparency and smart budgeting advice. She helped us identify where it made sense to handle certain items ourselves ahead of time--saving us from unnecessary vendor markups--and advised on where to invest for the best impact. Thanks to her, we not only stayed on budget, we saved money in several areas we wouldn't have considered on our own. But maybe most importantly, Heather took the stress off of my wife. Instead of worrying about logistics or last-minute details, she was able to fully enjoy the evening and be completely present throughout the celebration. That peace of mind alone made working with Heather more than worth it. Heather Keith brought "calm" to the whole planning process. We'll absolutely be working with Heather again for our daughter's Bat Mitzvah--there's no question who we'll be calling. If you're planning a major event and want someone who's organized, clearly in charge of the vendors, and truly committed to making the experience smooth and enjoyable, Heather is who you need! Thank you Heather!

We were able to sneak into the reception area through a back entrance before the guests to see everything all set-up perfectly (we highly recommend doing this!) and were blown away by how gorgeous the entire set-up was. She truly executed on our vision and brought our reception space to life. She was flexible and always supported our decisions for decor. Heather was extremely knowledgeable and she asked us all of the right questions to make sure she had the information she needed. Thank you!

It was so fantastic that my girlfriend said she wants to hire the same wedding planner... Create Events. Throughout the day the team was on point. Two of the ladies checked on us before photos began. They also got us on the limo bus to where the ceremony was being held and made sure the bridal party was very well taken care of. Meanwhile one of the coordinators stayed with the bride and groom to do their photos and make sure everything went according to plan. When we arrived at the Thursday Club (ceremony location) there were two coordinators taking care of all the setup. It looked amazing and when the bride walked into the ceremony site she actually cried and said, "Oh my God! It's so beautiful!" I know this was something she and the groom were worried about because at the rehearsal they mentioned that they wanted all the red draping covered in white. Both the bride and groom were so happy to see how it turned out! I really thought Monica and her team couldn't out do the ceremony but then we got to the reception and wow! BEST PARTY EVER! The reception area was really decked out! They had a sushi station (which I ate a lot of), an Italian station and a meat carving station. All the food was awesome, the setup of everything looked great and the timing was perfect. We did our entrance, had dinner and got the party started. The bride and groom were so happy with everything. I don't think I've ever heard so many people say, "What an amazing wedding!" "Best wedding ever!" etc. Honestly, when I get married I'm hiring this team. They could pull off anything you want and my wife is going to be stoked. A happy wife means a happy life.
