Brenda…read morewas our Month of Coordinator and she went ABOVE AND BEYOND.First of all, they did not oversell themselves...I told them what I had already accomplished before even calling them and they said, "you only need month of coordination. you've got this." However, a few months before the wedding I was so overwhelmed with all the detail that Brenda offered to meet and she just helped me organized my priorities and made me feel really good about the progress I had made. She did the same 6 weeks later. OMG, so helpful to keep me going and manage the overwhelm. As the date grew nearer, she started leading more to ensure we took care of those horrible details (seating charts, signage, communication with vendors, table set ups, and the timeline, etc). At every moment she was calm, lovely, relatable, fun, reassuring, and extremely competent. The week before the wedding she came over and took ownership of all the "stuff" (candles, ceremony items, decorations, etc). That felt sooo good. She was great at the rehearsal and made sure "all the cats were herded"so we got through the rehearsal and worked out all the details. The day of the wedding? We were so relaxed and didn't think about a single thing. The tables were set exactly as we had discussed, the ambiance was amazing, every little detail she had taken care of. and then she cleaned up and stored everything for us and then brought it back to us a couple of days later. During the wedding, Brenda was a total ninja....I barely saw her at the wedding as she was in the background making it all happen so we could enjoy our guests. A guest even took a picture of her that makes her look like the super hero she is, LOL! You will LOVE working with Brenda. I cannot recommend her more vigorously. She is amazing.

I am here to give a HUMONGOUS shoutout to Cierra, who was the absolute MVP of what was thee…read morefavorite day of our lives!! From the first call, she put our anxious brains at ease and listened carefully to what weirdo vision we had in mind + what things we were most afraid of turning awry. Having never planned such a fete before, I had hella dumbass questions to lob at her, but that did not faze her at all. Not only is Cierra hypercompetent at her job and super solutions-oriented and knowledgeable, she is a plain joy to talk to and bounce ideas off of and joke around with. Just an all-round cool human that added to the overall atmosphere of love and appreciation we wanted to foster at our wedding (while also running an impeccably tight ship without breaking a sweat). ANYWAY needless to say we are major Cierra fans here and want you all to know that she is a dream collaborator for your big day, may you be so lucky!

During such a difficult time for our family, he showed genuine compassion, professionalism, and care in every detail. The balloons were beautiful and added a warm, uplifting touch that helped us turn a heartbreaking day into a meaningful celebration of my brother's life and memory. It meant more to us than words can express. Sal's work shows that balloon décor isn't just for birthdays--it can also help bring light and beauty to life's most emotional moments. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone who truly cares about making an event special and memorable.

When we arrived my mm was really surprised by the set up and the really cute decoration. For an extra price they were open to buy roses, have speaker and Jenga to play. My mom still talks about it today. When doing a picnic please try to do it in a sunny day. It was first time doing something like this and Bay Area luxury made very easy and accesible. Fast and reliable service. Really fun and cute experience!!!

I had a large bridal party, so I needed my wedding planner fully focused on me and the ceremony and this concierge service delivered. We worked with Alize for 6 hours and she handled everything seamlessly.

If you're looking for wedding day concierge services, bridal party management, or day-of coordination support I would highly recommend Event Solutions.

Sheila was an absolute professional to partner with, and her team's attentiveness made the entire process seamless

The class itself was fun! We basically just messed around with clay for the 1.5 hours, layering cut outs and playing with texture. Baking took 30 minutes, and then assembly another 30. There were tons of colors, shapes, and tools to try out. There was also a birthday party there, so if you're interested in an event, this seems like a good place. Sophie let us know that we're allowed to get drinks / snacks from next door, then bring it back to eat in the lobby area by the window. The workshop seems like a lovely community space. Seems like they have events every month - Nov they'll have a free zine workshop and in December they'll sell mini wreaths. There's tons of other artsy things in there. My one suggestion for the class - it would have been lovely if there had been more pliers for assembly. I think that the shortage was the main bottleneck. The earrings look simple to put together, but because we were new and the pieces seem so fragile, it took us quite a bit of time.

I shared the theme and color ideas, and they took care of the rest. What made it especially seamless was that Air Lollipops is the preferred décor vendor for Imagination City. They were able to set up early and had everything completely ready by the time we arrived, which made the day totally stress free. The décor looked beautiful, was exactly what we were hoping for, and felt very reasonably priced for what we received. I would absolutely use Air Lollipops again and highly recommend them, especially if you're hosting a party at Imagination City.

Maria makes the booking process super easy and she is very communicative via all forms of communication (text, phone, ig, email). She also works with several venues in the Bay Area, which is great because she already has a good relationship with them and it makes the set up process easy. For any mama who is trying to plan a big party for their kiddo, Maria really does make the job so much easier!! I'll be going to her for all of my party decoration and dessert needs!

Our wedding was the best day!! Better than we could have imagined. From the first call we had with…read moreAlex, we knew we wanted her as our planner. The vibes felt right, and we loved that she would help us bring our vision to life by including design. We picked the partial planning & design package but honestly, after working with her, we wished we had just done full service planning. In our first meeting we gave her an idea of what we had envisioned for the day, including a shared pinterest board. From there she made a design deck that really brought our day to life. Alex provided the best vendor recommendations (including for some with whom she had relationships and discounts), thoughtful design ideas, and guidance on the overall flow of the day. She joined us for our food tasting, met with us in person to pick out our rentals, and she coordinated a site visit with the vendors in preparation for the wedding. We didn't think we needed a content creator, but she even provided us with one and it was a great addition to capturing the memories of the day! Throughout the planning process, Alex was easy to reach, responsive, collaborative, open to feedback, and genuinely easy to work with. On the day of the wedding, Alex brought everything together seamlessly. She handled every detail behind the scenes, even things that didn't go as planned were handled quickly and professionally. This really allowed us to be fully present and actually enjoy the day. When I walked down the aisle for the first time, I was blown away!! It was BEYOND, BEYOND what we had even hoped for. We are soo blessed and grateful that we got to work with Alex. In the words of my husband - Earth & Events really cooked!! 10/10 recommend, expectations fully exceeded! Thank you Alex!!

We were married on a balmy September day in a villa burrowed in a lush Tuscan-foothill town called…read moreLucca, Italy. Even when we booked the place two years in advance, we knew no matter how much we planned--this was going to be an ordeal. In the midst of finishing school and starting careers, we'd need to get our families, friends and many, many heavy bags from California and over the Atlantic and throw a party so good it would be worth all the trouble. All without exploding from stress until, at least, after the "I do's" (with our dog in tow to boot). But, to make things just a little bit more intense, we both wanted our dream "editorial" wedding, something we'd been envisioning and manifesting since we started dating at 16. We were ready to put in the hours and the work to make it happen, but we knew we had to find someone with an inordinate amount of skill, like someone born to be a planner, to chart and direct our efforts to our ever, admittedly, lofty goals (and having competitive pricing wouldn't hurt!). Enter Alex and Earth and Events. From our first Zoom call, Alex calmly led the way--through picking cuisines, to florals, to a photographer, to stationary, to a dj, to desserts, to drapery, to chairs, to make up, to seating charts, etc., etc. (but she went beyond all that too--on quite short notice she took her mom on a vacation and flew to meet us in Italy a year before the wedding to explore the venue, theorize seating and dinner setups, and just to better understand Tuscany). Alex quickly showed that she was the kind of person we could trust with every detail, every idea, and every last action item. And, not that we ever left the wheel--we felt like we pestered her night and day to ask her opinion on a zillion things (and otherwise keep her posted on our every imaginable anxiety). But through it all, she remained calm and centered. Her approach was pragmatic and certain of results. And it makes sense--please take a moment to see the photos attached. Zoom in and notice her command of myriad details and then zoom out to appreciate her creation of scenes. Alex has heaps of creative skill. And when you have this much skill, there really isn't a problem you can't overcome or smooth over in achieving your client's vision. And trust us, when you are planning an international wedding, things come up--and even go wrong--because everything is just a bit closer to the edge. But this isn't a story about things going wrong. This a five star review because Alex not only delivered on the vision, but solved our every problem along the way. And we are so grateful for the memories so vibrant and amorous they'll last a lifetime. So, congratulations, you just found the best planner in Northern California--and its our blessing to call Alex our friend.
