VERONICA IS BADASS. Need a wedding planner? Look no further, as she and her team are your gals…read more She managed to pull everything together in the under 90 days of our engagement. That's right - from engagement to wedding in less than three months. Not only did she set us up with the best vendors (Wedding DJ, Special Times Catering, Dani-Lynn w/Allure Salon, the Palms, WeDoDesigns, and Billings Photography) but she helped co-ordinate the intros, the contracts, the payment schedule, and even several walk-throughs. Best part? She was there from start to finish on our wedding day. She made sure everything was "just so" with regards to decorations, she made sure the vendors were set-up and ready to go, and she walked the wedding party through their cues. I think the topper for me was when the venue was - proactively - setting up for rain for the wedding the day AFTER mine. Let's just say their preparations were going to detract from my decor. In a firm, but loving tone, she let the venue know that it was NOT appropriate for the Friday wedding...and to take it down. Which they did. Look no further. 530 Bride is your best bet.

We cannot thank North State Events, and specifically Ashley Smith, enough for how they helped our…read morewedding come together and flow effortlessly on the big day. I am still in awe of how seamlessly our day emerged, how much peace and joy I felt on the day, and how supported and looked after I felt. I owe a HUGE part of this to Ashley Smith, who had our backs throughout the entire process, and was organized down to the smallest detail. We met Ashley through a family connection and had coffee with her months before we knew we'd be connecting again. I instantly felt confident in her from our very first interaction. In the months to follow, we would share texts and emails back and forth, and eventually began Zoom meetings to work out details and wedding timelines. We always left our meetings with more assurance and trust - Ashley thought of everything and had all bases covered. It is incredibly worth the investment to have someone dealing with timeline, transportation and arrival times, and day-of details. We worried about very little (besides the storm we just nearly missed!) on our wedding day. Ashley had the entire event running smoothly and on time, constantly checking up on family members and vendors to ensure everyone was where they needed to be and if they were doing okay. Ashley even checked up on us throughout dinner, seeing if we needed anything and giving us timeline updates. And when my somebody accidentally misplaced my father's reception speech, she came to the rescue! Seriously, we can't thank you enough for being on our team! And to anyone else needing a planner or day-of coordinator for your wedding, look NO further. Book her now! Much love, The Cummings

A few months before our wedding it dawned on me that we'd need a day of wedding coordinator. Most…read moreall coordinators were booked but God was good to us as Ashley (the owner) had a cancellation and our wedding date opened up so that she herself could coordinate for us. We are forever grateful for the stars aligning to get THE Ashley for our special day. She was absolutely fantastic throughout the entire journey. She was great about asking me questions I would never know to ask or think of. She recommended the best vendors to make our day so special. We had two different locations for the ceremony and reception which made things a little more complicated but she and Jen nailed it! Her genuine care and concern for our happiness was so evident and appreciated. She went above and beyond by doing things for us that weren't necessarily in her scope just to make sure nothing was dropped. We're so thankful for Ashley and her company. I cannot recommend her services enough!

They have such a beautiful assortment of chairs and linens that we were able to get exactly the look we wanted.

It was such a magical day and WeDo made it that much more beautiful.

WeDo Designs has an…read moreextensive inventory of decor options to choose from and is always willing to collaborate to bring your event vision to life. My family and I collaborated with Rabina and her team to design each pre-wedding and wedding event. Not only did Rabina take the time to clearly understand our vision for each event, but she also offered her own creative suggestions. Ultimately, the decor on each day of the wedding was beautiful and distinct! On the day of the wedding, both Rabina and Nadia effectively coordinated all the vendors to ensure we stayed on track with the timeline for the day. Special thanks to Rifat for her support of my family and I on the wedding day! I definitely recommend WeDo Designs to anybody looking for a creative, detail-oriented decor experience!

Ken and I had the pleasure of having Jessica as our wedding coordinator! She was friendly,…read moreresponsive, patient, and incredibly organized. Prior to the wedding, we constantly emailed her with our questions, and she always replied in a timely fashion. This made it really easy for us to plan since we always had answers to our questions quickly. We also had several in-person meetings to ensure that our wedding way was planned exactly the way we had wanted, and Jessica even brought up details that we forgot to think about or overlooked, which was really helpful! During the rehearsal, it was super hot outside, but she took the time to patiently provide clear instructions during the walkthrough so that all family members and the members of the wedding party were fully aware of what they had to do during the wedding ceremony. On my wedding day, Jessica was there for me the entire time, ensuring that everything ran as scheduled and that I was well hydrated and fed. As a plus, she's also an expert with bustles, which definitely came into handy since my bustle kept coming loose. If you can't tell by now, we loved working with Jessica and would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding coordinator! She truly went above and beyond, and our wedding day wouldn't have gone so perfectly if it weren't for her! We love you Jessica!! :D

JESSICA IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST…read more We asked our wedding venue to specifically assign Jessica as our Wedding Coordinator after having one in person meeting with her - we just knew it was a match made in heaven. She is extremely organized, detail oriented, and confident in her craft. Whenever we had a question or concern, she was quick to respond also never made us feel like a question was too silly. I changed my mind like a million times up until the very end, but for her it was never a big deal. The day of the wedding is where Jessica really shined. Everything went FLAWLESS, at least that's how we perceived it because whatever mishap there might have been, was taken care of on her end. On the night of the event, she took care of us so well, making sure we were fed, hydrated, and looking good! Jessica was literally like a Ninja, she camouflaged into the crowd and always showed up right when we needed her. My family says it's like she read our minds haha. Let's also talk about the fact that my family, friends, husband and I are one WILD bunch and Jessica handled us with such poise and grace (She was such a good sport). Till this day (6 months later) my family and I literally can't stop raving about how her. The only thing I regret is not making her our wedding planner - we know she would have done an amazing job! If you are looking for a wedding planner/wedding coordinator, look no further!

My husband and I got married at Empire Mines on the 14th of August. If it weren't for Dyane and…read moreJeff my wedding day would have never come to fruition. From the first moment I met them for a consultation to the last moment when the lights came on after our last dance at the wedding they were there every step of the way. My husband and I live in Long Beach Ca. and having our wedding in Grass Valley turned out to be a daunting task to execute. So we decided to hire a day of coordinator. We chose Dyane and Jeff for their expertise and experience. Not to mention we clicked right away and I felt completely comfortable in their presence. The overwhelming task of planning a wedding from a fare lessened once my husband and I chose Dyane and Jeff. Let me just say that they go above and beyond what a day of event planner typically handles. They contacted all of our vendors for us multiple times leading up to the wedding insuring everyone was on the same page. They have worked many weddings at the Mines so they are familiar with the rules and regulations that come with having a wedding in a State Park. I brought a lot of DIY stuff and only having 2 hours to set up was daunting task but they handled it to a T. This was because there were multiple e mails and phone calls leading up to the big day. Once again going above and beyond for being a day of event planner! Dyane and Jeff accompanied me on the 30 day walk threw with the park rangers and Dyane was not afraid to be assertive on my behalf with the vision I had for guest once entering the park. Normally the park rangers have the guests enter at a certain location but my vision was to have them enter threw the gardens to get the full experience the park has to offer. One of the Rangers was hesitant to this idea because it had never been done before. Dyane knew this was important to me and was vocal with the ranger and made it happen. Another "issue" was that we had lawn games at the wedding and wanted a place for guest to be able to put their drink and tray passed hourderves while they played their games. The Rangers did not want cocktail tables on the lawn game area which would have made the games difficult to play. Once again they made multiple phone calls to the Rangers on our behalf and needless to say we had cocktail tables on the lawn game area! All of our friends and family said it was the most beautiful wedding that they had ever been to. The venue it self is a great backdrop for an enchanting wedding but the flow and vision of the wedding executed with experts like Dyane and Jeff left it as a magical evening everyone will remember! They kept the night flowing with the behind the scenes details all the while trending to my husband and I to make sure we were taken care of and happy. I can't say thanks enough to these two amazing human beings! They definitely have a great thing going! If you want a stress free magical event where you, friends, and family don't have to lift a finger and just enjoy what should be the best day of your life......... Then I would HIGHLY recommend Special Arrangements! Many thanks from Mr. & Mrs. Kristopher Kiebler

Extremely professional, organized, accommodating and all around amazing! Great listeners and communicators which is huge!! The whole experience with them from start to the actual big day was very positive. They go above and beyond what we expected and are really more than just day coordinators. They were fully involved in the entire wedding planning process, handled the vendors and guests with ease and care. Our guests personally came up to us with nothing but great things to say about them. Especially the family and wedding party they treated them as if they were guests in their home. I highly recommend using them for any event planning needs. Thanks to you both!!

Originally, we were on the fence about hiring a coordinator but we are so glad we did! We decided to only do day-of coordination but they definitely did way more than that, with the multiple calls and meetings before the wedding.
