We wanted a very small private wedding at our house on very short notice.  Minister Hayne was so…read moregreat at answering all our questions, making sure we were getting all our questions answered at the county courthouse, and she had awesome suggestions for the ceremony and for how to ensure things went smoothly.  The day of the ceremony she was early, very organized, and did a lovely ceremony that included that we've been together for years and included our daughter.  It was perfect and heartwarming.  She was really amazing at orchestrating pictures.  I am horribly un-photogenic normally, and all her pictures of us are so beautiful!  She was very personable and easy to work with.  We really recommend her!

Were were lucky enough to have Terry as the officiant at our wedding in Half Moon Bay this…read moreSeptember. We had started working with Terry about 6 months before and had exchanged lots of emails and had met in person. All of the preparations left us knowing Terry was going to be great of the day and he was. It is great when you can "tick" something off your preparation list and have no doubt it's going to be great, and all you have to do now is look forward to the day and actually enjoy the ceremony. We are not religious, and in fact we were already married before the wedding, so really this part of the day could have just been a formality that you had to do, then everyone could get on with the fun parts of a wedding, like eating and drinking too much. The reality was Terry made his short part the focal point for the whole day. We had originally hoped that Terry would read our vows out, because neither of us likes speaking in public, but on the day before, Terry let us know that he thought it best if we read them out as they were so personal. This was a bit of a shock, but in the end, Terry was right, we agreed, and it really made a big impact. The ceremony was funny, serious, meaningful and special. It was a pleasure working with Terry. Like others have said, we really hope we don't have to use Terry again as this marriage is forever :-) but I would give him the highest recommendation to anyone looking for a wedding officiant for their special day.

Adrienne was SUCH a pleasure to work with throughout my wedding planning process and on the day…read moreitself. I wasn't sure if I wanted a day of coordinator or not as I was very much a DIY bride and wanted to save on cost, but I am so glad I decided to go with Adrienne and Serenity Events Co. I found Adrienne via a Facebook Bay Area Brides group - I had listed an ISO post for a day-of-coordinator and she was the many that responded to my post. I interviewed at least 10 different coordinators and after reviewing how each interview went and their price points, I decided to move forward with Adrienne. I appreciated that her accepted method of payment was via credit card as many had asked to be paid via venmo/zelle. In our first meeting, Adrienne, although based in Santa Cruz area, kindly drove up to us in San Jose to meet at a cafe near our home. We started working on the initial skeleton of our timeline during this meeting and continued to work on the timeline in the months coming up to the wedding. We had planned to go to the venue together a week or two prior to the wedding to meet with one of the coordinators from the venue but unfortunately, I got COVID the day right before the meeting. Adrienne still went in person for us both and familiarized herself with the venue since it was her first time working there. Things I had tasked for Adrienne on the wedding weekend/wedding day included putting out all my centerpieces (as my florist was my aunt, so she needed assistance), putting out all my menu frames, table numbers, votive candles, floating candles in hurricane vases, arranging my welcome table, handling my dessert deliveries throughout the event and setting up the dessert table, managing all 20+ members of my bridal party, all while ensuring the event went according to our planned timeline! Adrienne was so effective in her work and she made it look so easy! I would recommend Adrienne and Serenity Events Co. to any of my friends or family looking for a day of coordinator!

She was always patient and calm, explaining her thought process and recommendations every step of the way. She had great intuitions about the layout, schedule, and vendors. And she managed all the moving pieces and people from the first day through the night of the event. Including being onsite to make sure everything went perfectly. I'd recommend Miriam for any event -- she was a godsend!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Miriam. She was truly the backbone of our entire wedding…read moreexperience. From the very beginning, she was thoughtful, organized, and incredibly supportive. She checked in with us every week, guided us through every decision, and took full ownership of all vendor communication. We had over seven vendors, a DJ and musician pairing, an after party, and special moments like a t-shirt toss. There were so many moving parts, yet Miriam managed everything with absolute calm and confidence. On the wedding day, everything ran perfectly on time, and it all felt effortless because Miriam was behind the scenes making sure every detail was handled. She coordinated with every vendor, set up and tore down the event, kept the timeline flawless, and made sure we never had to worry about anything. Her presence allowed us to simply enjoy our day without stress. What meant the most to us was her genuine warmth. Miriam felt like family throughout the process. She cared deeply about making our day special, and it showed in every interaction. She supported us not only logistically but emotionally as well, and we trusted her completely. Genuinely, our wedding could not have happened without her. Hiring Miriam was one of the best decisions we made, and we feel so grateful for everything she did to make our day perfect. If you are considering working with her, do it. She is truly a blessing.

We are so grateful for Jutta's expertise and dedication. She made our garden party an amazing memorable occasion.

We are happy to report that we found just what we were seeking in Mayra! While there are options aplenty for amazing florists, we were looking for very minimal florals, with the main role of our decorator to bring to life our vision for some highly specific, unique, quirky custom centerpieces. We were blessed with many remarkable vendors, but the determination and sheer number of hours Mayra dedicated to bringing our décor vision to life was unparalleled. She made long commutes throughout the year to share her progress, and each time we were blown away with the beautiful new additions she had created. Each little detail came together flawlessly on the day of the event, and her team worked with our coordinators to make the set-up and take-down a breeze. We were left with gorgeous and priceless mementos of our day to cherish for the future. If you are looking for event décor and have unique needs, if you appreciate the nostalgia of an old-fashioned business pro who loves to build relationships with your family members and have meetings face-to-face, if you're seeking creative visionary paired with detail expert, Mayra is your clear choice!

After months of indecisions, we decided to go to through with the party just two months before the event.

She is trustworthy, reliable, organized and amazingly talented. We wholeheartedly recommend her for any special event planning/coordination.

Becca and her team are a huge reason why my wedding went so smoothly…read more I booked Becca for a 2020 wedding, but she was super accommodating when we had to move our date to late 2021 due to COVID. Becca's communication, organization, and calm demeanor gave me peace of mind throughout the whole planning process and on the wedding day. We touched base via phone every weekly starting a month out from the event, and Becca was always very prompt in responding to my texts and emails. There were quite a few adjustments that happened the week before the wedding but she stayed on top of it. She communicated all details to our vendors starting a few weeks prior to the event and all my vendors raved about how organized and communicative she was. Becca's team helped set up the decor for my gift table + small items on the banquet tables. Everything looked exactly as I requested. The entire day was on schedule and stress-free so we were able to really enjoy the entire event. At the end of the night, her team packed up all the decor for us. The caterer ended up leaving without completing some responsibilities and her team took care of it so that we'd get 100% of our deposit back. I'm so grateful that Becca really took care of us throughout the day. I highly recommend Becca to coordinate your special day!

She helped us one month before our wedding and that was a crucial time for us because we were planning our wedding from out of state. She was really responsive to our emails, calls and text.

We knew that our venue was really strict and had to end on the dot. Becca and her assistant was really professional and kept us on schedule. People say that your wedding day goes by fast, and it does. Becca and her assistant did everything behind the scenes so my husband and I could enjoy our day. We can't thank Becca enough, she's truly the best!
