I had an initial concept of what I wanted and she ran with it - totally staying within budget and continually making super creative, thoughtful suggestions to enhance the decor, food choice, etc. One of my favorite parts of Angela is unlike a lot of planners I've worked with over the years, she has no ego. I was super honest about what what I liked and didn't and she was always understanding and upbeat. A true pleasure to work with!!!!

Hiring Alison Events was hands-down the BEST decision we made during the entire wedding planning…read moreprocess. We worked closely with Alison, Danielle, and Lauren over the course of a year and a half, and from start to finish, they were creative, calm, detail-obsessed, and just genuinely lovely human beings. They brought our vision to life in ways we couldn't have imagined. Every detail felt intentional and deeply personal, and somehow, the entire weekend felt both elevated and effortless. Our wedding was FLAWLESS. Coming from two people who weren't even sure we wanted a wedding, we were blown away by how much FUN we had. We can't stop gushing about it. Our guests are still telling us it was one of the best weddings they've ever been to. A special shoutout to Alisha, our day-of coordinator and real-life fairy godmother. She made everything on the bride side run seamlessly and was truly everywhere at once. From logistics to emotional support, she had me covered. I don't know what I would've done without her. Alison Events isn't just a wedding planner. They're a creative partner, a team of steady hands, and at times, our therapist through a very real and occasionally overwhelming process. If you're lucky enough to work with them, trust them completely. They are actual magic.

There truly aren't enough good things I could say about the team at AE. My (now) husband and I were…read morekind of the disaster clients when we first came to them: we wanted to plan a wedding in 4 months, couldn't decide where we wanted to do it, how big we wanted it or what exactly we wanted, thought we wanted to do wine country only to decide we wanted Hawaii, picked a venue that was somewhat tough to work with (Jesse and Andrea charmed the venue folks though and they ended up great)...the list goes on. On top of it, we thought we were laid-back/go with the flow people, but I'm pretty sure I should concede to being a control freak at this point in my life. I still don't know how they pulled off what they did, but they made our wedding absolutely amazing, and somehow made even the planning process pretty stress free (not easy to do when you decide to do a destination wedding 3-4 months out). The team truly delivers from every angle - style, creativity, efficiency, effectiveness - they helped us figure out what we wanted and were realistic with us about what what was doable. During our event, they managed everything down to a T, and did everything in their power to make it an incredible experience. After they saw I wasn't totally thrilled with the bouquet the florist brought (it was kind of giant), Jesse magically reworked the bouquet in the minutes before the ceremony to make it perfect. And they just bring joy and warmth to the whole thing. I now wish I had spent a whole year planning our wedding just so I could have spent more time with Jesse and Andrea (I basically begged them to be my friends in real life after it was all over). If you have a chance to work with AE, do it. There is a reason they have an international reputation - they are absolutely the best of the best.

Right off the bat, we knew Lisa was our perfect match. The combination of her kindness, creativity, resourcefulness, vendor recommendations, and desire to see our vision through to the end was all we were looking for and more. The vendors that she suggested to us were absolutely topnotch, and it was a wonderful and cohesive experience for those who we were helping to make our wedding amazing to previously have worked together as a team. Lisa was a touch point for us throughout our planning and kept us on target all the way through. She had fantastic ideas that complimented our existing vision and helped show us manageable and attainable possibilities to make it come to life. We are endlessly grateful to Lisa for her consistency, calm and kindness and would absolutely take the opportunity to work with her again.

I know I've left a lot of positive reviews for ERIA over the years, but they continue to impress…read moreme. Recently, a close friend of mine was looking for a wedding venue, and I immediately recommended ERIA. They ended up having their ceremony at San Francisco City Hall, followed by their after party at ERIA's new Marina location. It was such a fun way to celebrate because after the reception we walked over to Bar Darling, and the catering came from Little Original Joe's. The whole evening really embraced the city, and it felt like guests got to experience San Francisco rather than just attend a wedding. The team also added so many thoughtful touches that made the night feel special. They had cookies from the upcoming La Boulange Bakery pop up as a late night treat, which everyone loved, and they even arranged for a photo booth that was a huge hit. My friends couldn't stop talking about how well everything came together, and I was secretly thrilled that my recommendation worked out so well. The next morning we headed to Sausalito for brunch at Cultivar, which was fantastic and somewhere I hadn't been before. From there we made our way to ERIA's waterfront venue, which is just as stunning as ever. They projected home videos onto a screen overlooking the water, everyone gathered with sparklers, and the whole evening felt incredibly intimate and memorable. It was such a beautiful contrast to the energy of the city the night before. One of the things I loved most about the weekend was getting to experience both locations. The Marina gave us the excitement and nightlife of San Francisco, while Sausalito offered the peaceful waterfront setting that made the celebration feel completely different. Having both experiences in one wedding weekend made it feel incredibly unique. I've been to ERIA many times now, and every event somehow feels different while maintaining the same high level of hospitality and attention to detail. If you're looking for a venue that can help create an unforgettable wedding weekend rather than just a single event, I couldn't recommend them more highly.

I recently visited this spot for an event on 4/18/26. And,I really wanted to love this space…read morebecause, at first glance, it IS beautiful. The panoramic views are stunning, and the location--right in the heart of Sausalito--is pretty much perfect. The dance floor was comfortable, the vibe was there, and it felt like it had all the makings of a great event. But here's the ik...... and it's the reason for the 2-star rating. The bathroom situation was beyond unacceptable. We're talking extremely small (only 2 stalls for the women), poorly equipped for the size of the crowd, and within 30 minutes of the event starting, the toilets were already breaking down. Not "a little slow"--completely failing. For an event with 60+ women (and drinks being served for FIVE hours), we were left with essentially ONE working toilet. Diabolical. Uncomfortable. Irritating. And it didn't get better--it got worse. Halfway through the event, the second toilet started to overflow. Yes, overflow. It was nasty, and there was no real resolution or sense of urgency from the venue to fix it. Just... left to deal with it. So while the space is undeniably pretty and well-situated, it is absolutely not equipped to handle a crowd of 125+ people. Not even close. A venue can look amazing, but if basic necessities like functioning restrooms aren't handled--and can't be remedied in real time--it completely takes away from the experience. Beautiful space, but not a place I'd trust for an event of that size again.

Wow! Just had an event at the Lake in Placerville, Ca!

Lorie,LaShawna and ALL the others were sooooo wonderful to deal with. Everything was as we talked about and exceeded our expectations!! Afterwards all of our belongings were put out together and ready to go! Would recommend them , no problems with response time or getting things done! Thank you so much for one of the best days ever!

Review This team is NO. FREAKING. JOKE!!!…read more I had my wedding on May 11th and the day couldn't have gone more perfect, and that's thanks to this team. Jessica & LaShawna are freaking stars! The planning process was seamless. I was so impressed with the attention to detail at the wedding venue walkthrough. We walked the entire venue, bounced ideas off each other for placement of every single item, and built a schematic. They even measured the venue to know exact placement of tables, chairs, etc. Planning the wedding was so easy/smooth thanks to the planning tools and check ins. Our rehearsal was straight to the point and very easy. We didn't need the full two hours allotted by our venue because they were on top of everything! Then came the wedding day. Our bridal salon overlooked the venue, so we were able to see the progress throughout the day. THEY WORK HARD!! and I mean, they pay attention to every single little detail to make sure the place looks beautiful and perfect. It was so impressive, we all couldn't stop talking about it. The wedding day went seamless, on time, and without a single issue. Jessica and LaShawna were there every step of the way, speaking to each other through their own personal headpieces. If anything came up or if I had any questions, they were there and ready to help where needed. My wedding wouldn't have gone as well as it did without them, I promise. I feel so grateful to have had the best team out there!! We also decided to hire the CLE House cleanup crew which was fantastic as well! Janet did a great job and cleaning/tidying up fast and making sure we got back all of our stuff. Thank you so much for being the reason why my wedding day went so perfectly CLE House!!!

Even though that's not what Kelly usually does (she plans and manages full events), she was incredibly kind and willing to help anyway. She sent one of her assistants, Alicia, and honestly, she was a lifesaver. Alicia was fantastic ,she showed up ready to help, jumped in wherever we needed her, took initiative, and stayed until the very last guest left. She made everything feel easy and handled it all with such calm and warmth. Next time, I'll definitely be reaching out to have her handle the full event, decor, crafts, games, the whole thing. So thankful for their support and can't recommend them enough!

My husband and I got married in May '19 in San Francisco, CA and we still look back on our wedding…read moreday in complete awe-- Lally and her incredible team are meticulous, professional, creative, and most importantly, so much fun to work with! The entire process from ideation, design, planning, and day-of execution was flawless, we couldn't be more happy with how everything turned out. Lally has incredible taste and a knack for design. She went above and beyond to deliver on the romantic, industrial, and modern design aesthetic we wanted to have for our special day, everything single detail was perfect. Lally is extremely organized and deeply connected in the wedding planning and events space in the Bay Area, which proved to be immensely valuable when selecting and partnering with our vendors. I had so much fun working with Lally on my wedding and seriously cannot recommend Lally Events enough, you will not regret your decision to hire her as your wedding planner!

If you're looking for a wedding…read moreplanner, don't waste any more of your precious time or effort looking for someone else, trust me and go with Lally. If you're not sure you need a wedding planner, TRUST ME, you do, and you should go with Lally. Throughout the whole planning process up until past midnight after our actual wedding day, Lally was there at any time to help with whatever we needed. No joke, she cares so much that she made sure our maid of honor got to her room after a couple too many drinks, WAY after the event was over and all the guests were gone. She is the definition of caring, reliable, and trustworthy. At any point that my wife and I felt anxious or unsure of something, Lally was there to immediately take care of it and make us feel 1000% more relaxed and excited. We've been to many weddings since we got married, have seen how poorly in comparison their wedding planner was in handling an issue and always look at each other and say "Thank God we had Lally for our wedding!" I could go on and on about how highly we recommend Lally to anyone getting married. Your wedding should be the best day of your life. It was for us because of Lally, and it will be for you if you choose her as well.
