My wife and I just returned from our honeymoon after a beautiful wedding planned and coordinated by…read moreAshka at Pink Orchid Events. Over a sixteen month period, Ashka's organized nature and wonderful personality made the planning process fun and largely stress free. Although we had a rehearsal dinner, extra dinner for out of town guests, wedding, next day brunch, and honeymoon to plan, we never felt overwhelmed. She did a wonderful job of tailoring her services to be exactly what we needed. She kept us on track, simplified decisions, researched options, negotiated with vendors, and solved problems. When it came to the wedding itself, she made sure everyone knew their roles and responsibilities, managed the vendors and schedule, and allowed us to simply relax and enjoy the best day of our lives. Hiring Pink Orchid Events is the best investment we have ever made in our relationship, and I could not recommend them more highly. Thank you, Ashka, for everything! We could not have done it without you!!

There comes a point in every Type A bride-to-be's planning when she realizes she won't be able to…read moretake care of all the details of the wedding because she will be busy being the bride. And it gets worse: all the people you trust most in the world, who would normally take care of things for you when you can't, they will be busy too! Your significant other, your best friend, your mom, your sister... all busy on the day of your wedding! It's a horrible, horrible feeling. But I know the secret to having your perfect wedding day AND being able to enjoy every minute of the day with all of your loved ones. Seeing as this is a yelp review for Pink Orchid Events - you probably guessed it: hire this amazing wedding coordinator! We had the privilege of working with Ashka as our Day of Coordinator for our wedding this past June at the Four Seasons Hotel in downtown Seattle, but she did so much more than just coordinate the day of our wedding - above and beyond! From our first meeting, she had lots of tips and ideas to turn our vision into a perfect wedding. I am not always an easy person to deal with - just ask my husband. I have illusions of grandeur and a slight obsession with pinterest (what a dangerous combination), but no idea how to follow through with execution. Queue Ashka! She referred great vendors to us and helped to make our dreams a reality. She worked really well with all of our vendors - she developed relationships with each of them and made sure that everyone had the details needed so they would have no need to reach out to me for anything. She even offered to help us manage our contracts and made sure final payments and tips were appropriately disbursed on the day of the wedding. Ashka created our rehearsal and wedding day timeline with every detail noted making it very clear who needed to be involved for every step. This (as with most things related to our wedding) was much more difficult than I initially thought it would be, particularly because my husband and I come from different cultures/religions and we wanted to incorporate traditions from both sides as well as our own ideas of what a wedding means to us. Ashka learned about Filipino Catholic traditions and Vietnamese Buddhist traditions and helped us figure out how to honor both our families while also incorporating what was important to us. I had no idea that a Day Of Coordinator would also help with rehearsal, but thank goodness Ashka did! She was running lines with our officiant to ensure timing was perfect, she played our music and taught our whole wedding party how to process and recess and when. When it came to the day of the wedding, she was there bright and early getting vendors where they needed to be and getting things set up for the day - including an emergency kit which me and my girls definitely put to good use throughout the day! She was busy busy busy all day, but she was always checking in on me and husband to make sure we had everything we needed and asking us questions in such a calm and reassuring way. Of course, I ran out of time to prepare everything I wanted, but Ashka picked up where I left off and even made things better! I wanted framed pictures of members of our immediate families along with framed names and Ashka finished putting them together, making sure the correct names were placed with the correct pictures, and even had them placed at different elevations to make sure they looked even better than I had planned. She made sure the pinwheels my niece made for me were beautifully placed in the photo booth we designed. She made sure that the ushers and attendants knew where to be and what to do. She took care of all the details that I cared so much about but couldn't do myself. And the thing is, Ashka never told us all the things she did to ensure our day went smoothly. She wasn't looking for recognition or special thanks. She did it because that's what it was gonna take to make our wedding day go smoothly. I just happened to find out about some of the amazing, above and beyond things she did from other vendors and guests, which means she did a whole lot more that no one went out of their way to tell me about, and that I will never know. THAT is what you need in a coordinator. You need to trust that things will be done exactly as you want them without any of the stress and drama. Thank goodness we found Ashka - it really was the perfect wedding for us!

Working with Amber was hands down THE BEST decision we made for our wedding. We were one of the…read moremany pandemic couples who ended up having to postpone our wedding date twice between 2020 and 2021. Amber was there every step of the way, handled everything seamlessly, and went above and beyond to ensure we ended up having the best wedding. When we were first interviewing wedding planners after we had gotten engaged (2018), Amber came extremely prepared with examples of her work and sample files of how she plans/executes weddings. She was head and shoulders above anyone else we interviewed and we immediately knew she was the one. During the planning process, Amber was always there to answer my endless amount of questions and help me with my extreme indecisiveness. She is very organized and kept us on track for all things for our wedding (both financially and timeline-wise). She is very honest and all her recommendations for vendors were the absolute best/you couldn't go wrong with any of them. We were able to put our full trust in her very early on. When it came to design, Amber is very creative and has a great eye for everything. We had a very unconventional vision to capture the surreal vibe inspired by a horror movie called Annihilation (very colorful florals that don't exist in real-life and kind of have a weird/creepy vibe about them) and Amber was completely on board. We also added the extra complication of having so many different hanging installations for the florals and the lighting (a big disco ball installation with chandeliers) . She recommended the vendors that she thought would go best with our vision and we really ended up with the ultimate dream team. When finalizing design, I had a couple reservations about some of her color choices, but we ended up going with it and it couldn't have been more perfect. She is truly an expert! With the pandemic, she seamlessly handled coordinating with our vendors and was completely there for us even though she had the busiest wedding season of all time this past summer (2 wedding seasons in 1). We are truly grateful for all the work she had put in when her bandwidth was spread as thin as it was. In our final coordination meetings with all our vendors leading up to our wedding day, she really showcased her expertise by asking all the right questions to ensure everyone was prepared to have things running smoothly the day of. Without this, we honestly would have missed so many things and not have been able to enjoy our wedding day ourselves. Fast forward to our wedding day, her day of coordination was impeccable. I was relaxed the entire day and knew I could trust her with everything. We fully enjoyed our entire wedding day/night and were able to eat and party without any concerns. With the amount of coordination that was required from the many different vendors and the countless amount of installations that had be installed that day (lighting, SO many floral installations, etc.), it truly was executed perfectly. She was also just the best energy to have around and I cannot think of a single issue that happened. I highly recommend Amber as a planner, designer, and/or day-of coordinator for any of your event needs. She is very knowledgeable, organized (a perfectionist!), creative, responsive, and just an overall wonderful person. She goes above and beyond for all her clients and has a great eye for any type of design. Having her be in our lives for the past 3 years has been the best and we are so grateful to have met her and worked with her on our wedding. Our guests have all commented that our wedding is the best they've ever attended and we'll remember every single detail for the rest of our lives.

Malea was easy to talk to, professional, and has a great eye for design. We knew our wedding was in good hands after our first meeting with her. There are so many moving pieces with wedding planning and many things that we did not think of, but she made it easy for us to know what we needed to do. It was also very helpful that she communicated with vendors for us during our planning months. I can't imagine how many emails she saved us from. She is also very responsive and answered any questions we had. She helped immensely with the design portion of our wedding. She curated a beautiful vision from florals, linens, signage and more! On the wedding day, Malea made sure that everything ran smoothly, and we could just enjoy the day worry free. As my new husband said, "We couldn't imagine the hours of therapy we would have needed without Malea." Thank you, A. Renee Weddings & Events!
