We could not say enough positive things about Cristina and our wedding at Ru's Farm!…read more From the moment I meet her, she immediately made me feel at ease. She was a stellar listener, asked great questions to help us focus on what mattered to us for our wedding day, was super organized and honestly just so hilarious and fun to be around/talk to. Cristina suggested our venue after we talked about what we were looking for and from the moment we stepped onto Ru's Farm it was clear it was the venue for us. She knows everyone in the area (and they all love working with her), so her connections made planning (and then re-planning with COVID), a breeze. She was great at helping us keep our budget in mind, and was honest about items that could be cost saving and people wouldn't know were missing verse items that would really add to the experience and our day. Also, she makes the process of planning a wedding so organized and easy; she just helps you stay on top of everything, making planning fun and not overwhelming. The day of went flawlessly. We had an absolute blast. Our guests raved about the venue, decor, food and just the whole day itself and all that was thanks to Cristina, Ru's and everyone on their teams. Cristina- we love you and can't say thank you enough!

I feel so lucky that we found Cristina!!…read more Cristina came highly recommended by our wedding venue (Ru's Farm in Healdsburg). After working with her and seeing her execute her magic, I can see why. Cristina is so much fun to be around - she is friendly, sweet, extremely responsive, provides great advice, knows her stuff, and GETS IT DONE. Cristina worked with my husband and I throughout the craziness of the past year with rescheduling our wedding, event guidelines, etc. She is well connected in the area and helped with so many details of our wedding day!) The month leading up to our wedding, we had weekly calls (which was such a lifesaver as things get so crazy at this point with so many details to plan + adding in planning a wedding during a pandemic made it extra complicated). Cristina is SO organized (which I love since I'm a type A personality!). She has folders, spreadsheets, and more for everything from table seating arrangements, venue map, bar inventory, to do list, and more! Everything went FLAWLESSLY on our wedding day (at least to my knowledge ;) My husband and I felt so ease with Cristina and trusted her with everything. There wasn't a detail she forgot about and she is such a pleasure to work with as a couple + our vendors loved her! Thank you Cristina for making our wedding day at Ru's Farm so perfect!!!

We started planning our wedding in May 2010. This was a destination wedding for us since we now…read morelive in Colorado and planned on getting married in Northern California. Because of the distance and the short time frame, I decided to look into having a wedding planner. After much online searching, I came across Amy Bridges Events! Amy Bridges is SUCH a SWEETHEART!! She really helped put my mind at ease. Even though I signed up for the month-of package, she graciously answered any queries I had before that. My now Mother-in-law and I met up with Amy at Mark West Lodge in August 2010. Our wedding was to be the end of September. I felt even more assured after meeting her in person. What's great is that with all of my stressing and worrying about all the tiny details, Amy still swoops in and does the rest! I'm the type to worry that if I don't do it, it won't get done or done right....but with Amy I didn't have to worry!! Everything looked so beautiful and perfect. The best thing I can say is that all of our guests LOVED our wedding! They thought it was the most fun they had ever had. This is where I give props to Amy Bridges!!! :-D She has her clipboard and notes in hand, a smile on her face, and such a positive attitude. If anything did go wrong, I never knew about it! She was also excellent at email communication. So if there are any brides out there wanting to have a destination wedding in Northern California, have no qualms about contacting Amy. Even when I needed to change the cake baker for our wedding cake, she helped me through that. She is the perfect go-between person that you will want for your wedding. It's stressful enough as it is...you really need that person to lean on and trust!! Thanks again, Amy! We have really beautiful memories from our wedding day, and you helped with that! J. and C.

We truly cannot recommend Lindsey and the Ooh La La team enough! From the very beginning, Lindsey…read moremade our entire wedding planning experience feel so smooth, organized, and genuinely stress-free. She was incredibly thorough, knowledgeable about our venue and vendors, and always quick to respond to emails. No matter what question we had, Lindsey always had an answer and made us feel completely taken care of throughout the entire process. On our wedding day, Lindsey was absolutely pivotal in bringing everything we had planned to life so seamlessly. We never once had to worry about the timeline, what was happening next, or whether things were being taken care of. She kept everything running perfectly and allowed us to simply be present and enjoy our day. Even with the weather being incredibly hot, Lindsey was quick to adapt and helped us come up with last-minute solutions to keep our guests as comfortable as possible. Her ability to stay calm, organized, and think on her feet made such a difference. Lindsey is seriously the BEST. She is professional, responsive, and so easy and enjoyable to work with. Having her there gave us such peace of mind, and we are incredibly grateful for everything she and the Ooh La La team did to make our wedding day so special. If you are looking for a wedding planner who will make the entire experience feel effortless and make sure you can truly enjoy your wedding day, Lindsey is your girl!

Lindsey is simply the best, and I'm so incredibly grateful we found her to plan our wedding. Over…read morenearly two years of planning, her expertise, organization, and industry connections were absolutely invaluable. From day one, Lindsey was knowledgeable, kind, and genuinely invested in making our wedding everything we envisioned. Whenever I had a question, she always had thoughtful advice and recommendations. What I appreciated most was that she never pushed her opinions--instead, she shared her expertise while empowering us to make the decisions that felt right for us. She made the entire process feel personal and true to who we are as a couple. As someone who is extremely Type A, I expected to be stressed leading up to the wedding, but I honestly felt none. Lindsey was so organized, responsive, and dependable that I had complete confidence in her and her team. That trust paid off--our wedding day was absolutely perfect and ran seamlessly (or at least any issues were handled so flawlessly that we never knew about them!). She coordinated every detail with our vendors, allowing us and our families to be fully present and enjoy every moment. One of the reasons we chose Lindsey was her flexible planning approach. I loved that we could take ownership of the initial planning and vendor outreach while still having unlimited access to her guidance whenever we needed it. That level of support is rare, and her recommendations for vendors, from our DJ and rentals to our florist and cake, helped us build an incredible team that truly brought our vision to life. One of the most impactful moments during planning came at our 90-day meeting when Lindsey encouraged us to reconsider our decision not to do a first look. She thoughtfully explained that, based on our priorities, being present with each other, having time to ourselves, and valuing photography, it would enhance our day rather than take away from it. We trusted her advice, and looking back, it was one of the best decisions we made. She even built in a few private moments after the ceremony for us to soak in being newly married and enjoy some of our cocktail hour together, and those memories are among our favorites from the entire day. I'll genuinely miss my weekly (and sometimes daily!) emails with Lindsey. Working with her was one of the best decisions we made during our wedding planning process, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. If you're considering hiring a wedding planner, do yourself a favor and book Lindsey, you'll be so glad you did.

Where to begin?! MK Events was awesome! We, like most…read morecouples I'm sure, were looking to save money but desperately needed help staying on top of the seemingly never ending to do list. We were looking for a "day of" coordinator to help us out and stumbled across MK Events and we are VERY happy we did! First off, I put in interest cards with a couple of coordinators and MK got back to me within minutes! Some of the other ones, I didn't hear back from for a couple days. As soon as I talked to Kayla, I knew that my wife was gonna love her and we set up a meeting at the venue. Our "day of coordinator" was meeting with us MONTHS before the wedding and was personable, professional and was able to walk us through any questions of concerns we had. After we locked MK Events down, our workload got much lighter and we had someone to call and get a quick and accurate response. This is a big deal for anyone planning a wedding because you really want to check things off and not have to circle back on list items. Kayla amd Vanessa allowed us to do that. Kayla has great connections all over on the industry and uses her creativity to work with your budget. For example, my wife wanted a eucalyptus garland and when we saw the price, we thought we would have to do without it but Kayla worked her magic and made my wife's dream come true! We now consider Kayla and Vanessa family. The wedding was amazing and we are so thankful that MK Events was a part of it. Go with MK Events! You won't be disappointed. Sincerely, Zach and Annie Bandfield

They were gorgeous! Red and ivory roses with black feathers. The reception was sophisticated and chic with a vintage flair, exactly what I envisioned. If you're looking for a great wedding consultant who will support and guide you, then look no further! Tina loves weddings and truly cares about the brides and grooms she works with.
