We used I-Do... for both day-of coordination and florals for our wedding at Scripps Seaside Forum,…read moreand it was one of the best decisions we made! Elena and her team were absolutely phenomenal and made our wedding day so much more enjoyable and stress-free. Day-of Coordination: Elena stood out not only on the wedding day but also in the months leading up to it. She was incredibly helpful during the planning process--offering thoughtful insight into creating a seamless timeline and even helping with ideas for decor and place settings tailored to our outdoor, beachy (and occasionally windy!) wedding. She thought of every detail, from preparing us in advance to get those dreamy photos (like the first kiss and cake cutting) to ensuring everything ran on schedule without a hitch. On the day, Elena was a true lifesaver. From the rehearsal to the ceremony and reception, I never once had to worry about where I needed to be or what was next. She kept everything moving smoothly, pointing me in the right direction while allowing me to fully enjoy the company of our guests and the magic of the day. And she always made sure we were taken care of (never without a drink in hand!). Her leadership and attention to detail made it all so effortless for us. Florals: Melissa tackled all of our floral arrangements, and I couldn't have been happier with how they turned out! Working within my limited budget, she brought my vision to life with stunning florals that perfectly matched our style and the seaside setting. Melissa truly understood the look I was going for, and her creativity and expertise made every arrangement stand out beautifully. She even gave me a calming pep talk before I walked down the aisle, which was such a thoughtful touch during a nerve-wracking moment. If you are considering a wedding at Scripps Seaside Forum (or anywhere else), I cannot recommend I-Do highly enough. Elena is an incredible coordinator who will make your wedding day run flawlessly, and Melissa will make your vision a reality. Thank you, Elena and Melissa, for helping make our wedding day unforgettable!

I booked her early and we initially just did a couple meetings to discuss our vision and needs regarding coordination, vendor contracts and florals since we did not need a full-planning service, only partial. She was always upfront and gave me honest opinions especially when it came to where to splurge and save, and what could look good and what wouldn't. The last 2 months is where she really shined, helping us follow up with vendors on details, setting deadlines for me to book rentals, reviewing contracts and constantly doing sanity checks when I needed it. The day of, she came extremely prepared, everything flowed smoothly (except some technical issues on part of the venue) and she was great at going with the flow and just letting the vibe and natural mood of the day go, and fixing whatever problems I threw at her. We also had her as our florist and she truly out did herself- her prices were incredibly reasonable and she handled everything like a champ when her assistant got sick the day of the reception. She also took my back and forth floral design suggestions and changes very well, as I am quite particular on details in some areas and deferred to her expertise in others. Honestly could not have done it without her and she was without a doubt my #1 worth it vendor! Would absolutely hire her for all your wedding planning and floral needs.

Susan helped decorate, make flower arrangements, direct the caterers, DJ, guests and servers and it turned out absolutely fantastic!! To this day I still have friends that tell me" your wedding was so unique and beautiful, who helped design and decorate? who helped organize it?" I am always proud to say SUSAN!!!

We attended performances of three bands on a Thursday evening organized by the Six String Society. We were there to see the band, Daring Greatly.

A limited menu and cash bar was available. The food provided by Vintana was excellent, the beverage line much too long. As someone who has planned events in every career role I have had, I feel the space could have been better arranged. The Centre has various venue choices of different sizes.

There were at least six guests who requested vegan meals and were served a simple curry over rice. The salad was not vegan, the dessert was not vegan, and even the vegetables were cooked in butter, making them unsuitable as well. Meanwhile, other guests had multiple dish options to choose from. For such a high end wedding venue, the lack of consideration for dietary restrictions was extremely disappointing. The food overall felt like the weakest part of an otherwise beautiful experience, and it is the only reason I would hesitate to recommend this venue.

Molly and Rachel helped us plan both the welcome party and the wedding, and both went perfectly. They were so communicative with both us and our many questions, and with the rest of the vendors.

If you want an elegant, chic wedding with zero stress, these are the planners you need. They planned the most beautiful wedding in Palm Springs, and it was absolutely everything I dreamed of and more. Everyone tells you something will go wrong on the wedding day and to go with the flow - I was fully prepared for that, but literally was PERFECT. From day one, they made me feel like I was planning my wedding with two of my best friends who just happen to be experts at throwing the perfect event. The day of the wedding I had so much fun getting ready with friends I didn't even think about a single logistic because I knew everything was handled. Molly communicates so well and kept me in the loop every step of the way without overwhelming me. It never felt like there was a problem or a big deal with anything; they just handled it all, making everything feel super easy and stress-free so I could enjoy my day. Things I mentioned a year ago - Molly would bring up months later and I was shocked at how she could remember everything. They really took my vision and brought it to life in the most stunning way. It was clear they were totally focused on making sure everything was exactly what I wanted, and it turned out perfect. I'm so grateful to Molly and Rachel for making our wedding day exactly what we dreamed of. It was honestly perfect, and I couldn't have asked for a better team to bring it all together. If you want a flawless, chic wedding without the stress, these ladies are your dream team!

As we…read morestarted our wedding planning process, we wanted to explore how a planner could help us, even as someone who already handles corporate events. I'm so glad we found Willmus Weddings! Heather was wonderful from our very first call, and we appreciated having the flexibility to choose between partial or full planning. During our first in-person meeting, she helped us identify what mattered most in selecting our venue. We ultimately chose partial planning based on our venue, Kijamii Overlook at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, and she found us incredible vendors to complete our day. As we got closer to the wedding, I couldn't have imagined how grateful I would be to have Heather to rely on. She kept us on track with every little detail and was always ready with a thoughtful opinion whenever we had questions. On the day of our wedding, Heather and Ava were absolutely fantastic! I was able to trust them completely to set up our decorations exactly as I had envisioned, while we enjoyed getting ready and sharing our first look. Throughout the reception, Heather made sure we actually got to eat, including trying our appetizers and sitting down to enjoy our dinner.

She recommended amazing vendors (Rudy's Tacos, North Coastal Floral, and Party People DJ) and streamlined communication so everything came together seamlessly. Heather and Ajji worked with a high level of attention to detail to get everything set up, which allowed us to truly relax and soak in the entire wedding weekend, from the rehearsal through the big day. Everything ran smoothly, and Ajji handled all the moving parts behind the scenes. Christophe is an incredible photographer and made us feel completely at ease throughout the day. He captured everything perfectly and was an absolute pleasure to work with. Overall, we couldn't have asked for a better team to bring our wedding to life. If you're looking for a group that is organized, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in making your day special, we can't recommend them highly enough!

From the…read moremoment we met Gabriela, it was clear that she wasn't just a wedding planner--she was someone deeply invested in making our wedding day a reflection of us as a couple.

This was something no other planner had done, and it immediately made us feel like we were in the hands of someone who truly cared. She has become more than just a wedding planner, and is now one of our friends. Our wedding was a beautiful blend of two distinct cultures, and Lavish went above and beyond to ensure that every detail honored both of our traditions in a way that felt seamless and cohesive. Gabriela found creative ways to incorporate elements of each culture into the decor, ceremony, and reception, making our celebration not just special, but incredibly personal. Her thoughtful approach to merging these cultural elements was absolutely perfect, and we were so grateful for the care she took to ensure everything felt authentic and meaningful.

My experience with Freedom Brides was a rollercoaster--starting with excitement, turning extremely…read morestressful, and ending with mixed feelings. While I found my dream dress quickly and initially received great service, the alteration process became unexpectedly costly, confusing, and emotionally exhausting. I found the perfect wedding dress right away. Jenny was warm and welcoming, and I purchased the gown for $500, with an additional $200 quoted for alterations (sleeves, length, and back adjustment). I was thrilled. A month before the wedding, I scheduled a fitting and discovered the sleeves no longer fit. Jenny re-measured my arms and confirmed my measurements hadn't changed. She admitted the situation was baffling, as only the lower part of the sleeves had been altered. I trusted her expertise and didn't anticipate that the cost of correcting this would fall on me. I returned for a second fitting on 5/7 but Jenny had a personal emergency, so she was not prepared and nothing on dress was changed and she meant to cancel me but for some reason I did not receive that message so I showed up, a 35 min drive one way. I was scheduled for a 3rd fitting on 5/14--just five days before my wedding. At that fitting, I was shocked to find completely new sleeves from a different dress, with a different pattern, attached without my consent. The back of the dress was also still incomplete. The unexpected change made me anxious, but I remained understanding and asked if some original sleeve elements could be reintroduced to maintain a cohesive look. Jenny agreed to add lace back at no extra charge. Then, on 5/16--two days later--I was blindsided by a $682.50 invoice. Jenny described the work as a "reconstruction project," citing hourly charges for the seamstress's work on the waistband, sleeves, back, fittings, corset, and more. At no point had this cost been communicated, and I had not agreed to such extensive work but ultimately it had to be done if I wanted a dress at all. Jenny referenced posted shop policies, but my unchanged measurements and lack of prior notice made the charges feel unfair. She insisted she was doing me a favor , that I should be grateful for all the work and gave me an example of a similar bride whose arm muscles grew over a weekend of moving out. I felt rushed and cornered into paying the full amount without reviewing the invoice in detail. She also warned that one more invoice would follow for that week's remaining work. Jenny said she had to leave town and delegated final coordination to the seamstress. On 5/17--just two days before the wedding--I met the seamstress to pick up the dress. She did a great job reapplying some original sleeve elements, and I was happy with the result. Jenny had promised to send the final invoice that day, but I received it a week later: an additional $341.25. She noted she'd waived charges for her own time, implying the total could have been higher. After the wedding, I carefully reviewed both invoices and found numerous inconsistencies: charges for fittings (advertised as free), work from dates I was unaware of, and charges Jenny had previously promised to waive amongst other details. I emailed her with my concerns and offered to pay a portion of the second invoice. To her credit, she responded by dismissing the invoice entirely, which I genuinely appreciated. The end result: a beautiful dress, but an experience marked by unnecessary stress, miscommunication, and surprise charges. Brides--be cautious. Ask detailed questions, confirm all pricing in writing, clarify what constitutes "adjustments," and plan fittings well in advance. Good luck, and happy wedding! Thank you, Jenny and team, for your efforts and for ultimately ensuring I had a wedding dress for my special day.
