From the intricate…read morecandy table, to the stylish seating chart, to the Berkeley Bowl grocery bag party favors, Yoleine and her team never ceased to amaze us. Their attention to every little detail made our wedding personal and memorable. Unlike most women, I did not have an idea what I wanted for our wedding. I didn't know what color scheme I wanted, or anything like that. When I met with Yoleine, she was able to pick my brain and take my general ideas and run with them. Our wedding was far beyond what I could have ever dreamed up because of Yoleine's creativity and expertise. I was also on a budget, as most brides are, and Twelve Events was able to help us get all the special things for our wedding, such as the nice chair covers, the entertaining photo booth, the personalized name cards, the fancy apothecary jars for the candy table, etc. I cannot stress enough how much every bride needs Twelve Events if they do not want to be pulling out their hair. Leading up to our wedding, I had nothing to worry about. There were about a million and a half details that I had forgotten about, but Yoleine and her team took care of it all. The ceremony and reception flowed so smoothly and my husband and I were able to enjoy the whole day because we knew we could trust Twelve Events. We had a perfect day, and it was all thanks to Twelve Events.

After considering a dozen wedding planners, Nicholas and I selected Zillman Weddings and Travel…read morebecause of their glowing references. We were thankful for the opportunity to work with Nicole, as she truly was the most wonderful wedding planner - hyper-organized, competent, responsive, creative, patient, kind, and able to get along well with all types of people. Her team was amazing too! Our Catholic wedding brought together two strong-willed Italian and Irish families. Nicole's brilliant stakeholder management and religious/cultural awareness allowed Nicholas and me to have the wedding we wanted; our families were happy too. We worked closely with Zillman Weddings from July 2020 to May 2021, and Nicole effortlessly handled the challenges of wedding planning during a pandemic, especially vendor management. When the gospel choir I hired couldn't perform due to social distancing requirements, Nicole quickly connected us with singer Helena Buscema (with her magnificent voice), and when the makeup artist I hired wasn't working out, Nicole brought in Betsy Francesca with her decades of experience as a makeup artist for cinema-television, magazines, and weddings. Zillman Weddings had the industry experience and relationships to flawlessly deliver our wedding experience. Even as a professional project manager, I was thrilled we signed-up for the "diamond" package and enhanced the wedding services to include support for our pre-wedding events, plus our honeymoon travel arrangements. Zillman Weddings and Travel took care of it all beautifully!

As my daugher lives in another state, I planned most of the wedding details. Nicole was a big part of it. We first met at the venue where I explained our vision and what had been planned and ordered already. She took extensive notes. She got permits for us, issued and rewrote the vendor and day-of timelines as things changed. She liaised with all the other vendors regarding delivery and services. Nicole directed the wedding rehearsal, and made sure all of the favors and decor were in place by the time the wedding started. On the wedding day, she and her team were on top of all the details - great communication between the 3 of them. We didn't have to do a thing afterwards, Her team handled all the clean-up. She allowed this mother of the bride, bride and groom to enjoy the day the way it was meant to be enjoyed.

In the months leading up to the wedding, Naomi was happy to be available for quick email consults, such as reviewing the invites. Naomi was absolutely invaluable the month of the wedding. She covered all the little details we would have forgotten about or didn't have time to worry about. She coordinated with our vendors to make sure they had their roles down. She provided good feedback and had a very detailed itinerary for how the wedding should progress. The day of Naomi and her assistants put out more fires than we could ever know about. My officiant was very impressed and said Naomi keeping things on time was unheard of for our type of wedding given how many moving pieces we had and the number of guests.

I…read moreactually found her through a referral from another vendor who wasn't available for my wedding date and I'm glad that happened because I could not have picked a better events team to bring our vision to life. Naomi is deeply experienced and clearly has a lot of great contacts in the industry since she worked with a few of my chosen vendors in the past, so I knew things would go smooth. My husband and I are relatively hands-on when it comes to things, but it's a different story when you want to just enjoy your own wedding and Naomi made that possible. We were in absolutely good hands, especially because she is so detail oriented down to the minute and typos, and won't let things fly until they are confirmed. Plus our wedding was more unique in that it had lot of moving pieces plus a very short set up time. But you wouldn't have been able to tell as a guest because everyone thought it worked perfectly. I appreciate all of Naomi's recommendations, attention to detail and just being fantastic to work with. For any of my single friends out there, I'm 100% recommending her if you ever have a wedding!

That's when I met Melissa from Styling Starts Here. She was reason my wedding became the wedding of my dreams. She found me the PERFECT wedding venue, Saddle Rock Ranch in Malibu, with the most amazing vendors, from a top notch DJ to a fabulous photographer to delicious food that was complimented more then my dress! But that was fine with me, as the out pour of guest compliments from our friends and family was plentiful. Melissa did such a great job of listening to our wants and needs and found the best way to execute the things we wanted, all while staying in our budget- which was really important. I could send her magazine and blog pictures and links of things I liked and she would find a way to make them work. She also introduced me to new ideas I would have never thought of- that's another major plus of having a planner- they do this for a living, they see sooo many things that you may have never even heard of! Her additions were perfect and exactly my style. Not only did she keep everything on track with our timeline, she made sure that every little detail represented us. And it did! Its a day that I will never forget and I will cherish for my entire life. The entire event was so romantic, so full of love it will always be the most special day to us. And I already have plans for a vow renewal one day with Melissa's company! If I could recreate it every year I would!

She has impeccable taste, and keeps her client's vision top of mind throughout all her work. She truly works with you, as a team, to create pure magic. Not only is Nedda herself amazing, she has the best connections in the area, and can get you the best value. She's constantly thinking out of the box and getting creative to execute the best events.

I feel blessed to have found her as our event planner and organizer. Planning a wedding is not an easy task, especially when it's for 350+ people, but anytime my fiancé and I began to have a worry or stress, Nedda wiped it away like it was nothing. She went absolutely above and beyond what I would have expected an event planner and organizer for a wedding to do, while completely respecting my fiancé and my vision of what we wanted our dream night to be like. Her communication skills were top notch, not only to us but to every single one of our vendors. She was always available through phone and/or email to answer any and every question we had, never keeping us waiting for more than a few hours for a response. She worked her magic throughout the entire planning process and thanks to her we had the night of our lives. I recommend Nedda Kavoosi and Kavoosi Konsulting with 100% confidence that there will be absolutely no regrets. Thank you Nedda for all your help!

Lisa Adams is an amazing wedding coordinator/bridal consultant! Lisa helped us with our wedding…read morewhich was in March 2014. We were initially working with a different wedding coordinator and unfortunately had to let her go. We interviewed Lisa and were immediately impressed at the caliber of venues where she had worked and the fact that she had done an event at our reception venue. Lisa was very professional and prompt! She handled everything flawlessly allowing us to worry less about the minor details and focus on other things. Lisa's timeline was very detailed and precise to the minute! She picked up and held our day of items (toasting flutes, cake cutting set, unity sand and glasses), she delivered (and redelivered) welcome baskets, ran the wedding reception very well and allowed us as much control as we wanted, she even mailed in our marriage license for us! She's awesome! But here are two amazing things we didn't expect: 1) At the last moment, due to an oversight prior to hiring Lisa, we needed an extra table linen for our head table. In fact, we needed a satin tiffany blue head table linen late on the day before our wedding--we panicked! But Lisa came to our rescue! She called her connections and arranged for the table linen to be delivered on the next day in time for our wedding! 2) We had an issue with our hotel charging us for an extra night, because our family checked out a day early. Lisa handled this matter, chasing down and following up with the hotel until they resolved the issue, giving us a refund for the unused night! We highly recommend Lisa as your wedding coordinator without any reservation!!

Beth & the Beth Helmstetter Events team are stars to work with!…read more My husband and I met the BHE team in 2019 after interviewing with several top wedding planners. We worked with them on what ended up becoming multiple events over 3 years related to our wedding due to COVID. Beth helped plan a special private 30th birthday surprise for me during COVID that was exceptional. Then went on to plan our intimate wedding in Montecito which entailed 4 events. Then went on to finally our big day in Italy (a few years delayed) which entailed 7 events for 100 guests over 4 days. Even with the craziness of an international pandemic, changes in vendors, changes in locations, Beth and her team handled everything with ease. If you are looking to work with one of the best planners in the industry, you have found the right person and the right team! We could not recommend BHE any higher!
