I reached out to Cross + Swan Events to help me plan my wedding. Before choosing them, I had a meeting with the owners Jacqui and Sydney who took the time to listen to what I needed in a planning company & planners and tailored a quote to fit my needs. I hired them about 8 months prior to my wedding and they were there every step of the way, with monthly meetings to keep me on track of what I needed to do, up until the month prior where the girls took over and ran with it all. I had the utmost confidence in them and was able to relax and enjoy the last month before my wedding, which can be a stressful time. My wedding consisted of a beautiful venue in Joshua Tree that was minimal with amenities/services included, so I had to hire just about everyone - food, cake, rentals, dj, servers, bartenders, flowers, etc! Cross + Swan did an excellent job of coordinating all of the vendors and keeping them on schedule. I had numerous guests at my wedding come up to me and tell me that my planners were the stars that day, nailing every detail and keeping the wedding going at a good pace with the timeline and also keeping everyone happy & worry free. Jacqui was amazing with my vendors the day of the wedding & also made the most beautiful signage for an extra fee for me (welcome signs, seating chart, bar & cake menus). Sydney was great with going the extra mile and driving me, my husband and photographer out into Joshua Tree National Park to capture some amazing photos after our ceremony. When you meet with wedding planners and they stress the importance of the investment in a planner, believe them - it's SO TRUE. They made my wedding day one to remember - and one that was truly stress-free and the best days of my life. HIGHLY recommend Cross + Swan. read more

Jacqui was an absolute DREAM come true. Planning an out-of-state destination wedding had me stressed, but Jacqui and her team went above and beyond to make my very unconventional and very specific wedding vision come to life. From vendor management to creative direction, to day of coordination... by the end of it, we not only had a dream wedding, but I feel like I made a true friend in Jacqui. I already miss our planning calls but will look for any excuse to hire her in the future. read more

If you are planning a wedding, you NEED a planner/coordinator and Cross + Swan was my saving grace when it came to helping plan and execute my wedding! I had Sydney as my head coordinator and she was so amazing! During the planning she responded to emails/texts in a timely manner, checked in on how I was doing, and reached out when it was time to meet up and review everything for the big day. So professional! A month before the wedding I sent her all my vendor contracts and contacts and she confirmed and managed from there on out. Having Sydney and her assistant Charly the day of put my mind at ease that everything was going to turn out beautifully, and it did! They managed the chaos of setting up which allowed me to enjoy my morning getting ready, stress free. During the wedding they made sure we were staying on task and on time and that my husband and I had everything we needed. I can go on for days, but I'll leave it at this... if you're looking for a planner, Cross + Swan won't let you down! read more

I absolutely love working with C+S! I've had the pleasure of working with Jacqui a couple of times and let me tell you...she is amazing! Her staff is on point and their vision for decor is perfect!! C+S should have a million 5 Star Reviews! read more

I hired these wonderful ladies for day of services. They were awesome and were very friendly. They were in communication with me the months leading up to my wedding. The month before the wedding they helped me out by contacting all my vendors and coordinating the time line. They kept my stress and worry levels down. On the day of my wedding I did not worry about anything because they took care of it all. I would highly recommend them to any bride looking to keep her sanity. read more

Where do I even begin with Cross + Swan Events?! First of all if I could give them more than five stars I would! This business went above and beyond for my surprise birthday Drive-by celebration. I could have never dreamt of a more perfect set up than what they put together. The fact that they were able to capture what I would've wanted- actually BETTER- just based on things about me. It's so impressive on how good they are at what they do! They seriously went above and beyond by not only making sure the event looked absolutely stunning, as well they made sure everything was running smoothly and especially that I was enjoying it! Most importantly they were able to take what I thought would be an unattainable thing in this time to celebrate my 30th birthday and made it doable by making it extremely safe. They made sure I felt comfortable and ensured going above and beyond making it safe. How are these event planners even real?!? Seriously they are so professional yet so kind and caring for their clients. From the biggest detail to the smallest detail they thought of everything! If you are wanting them for a birthday, a wedding, any event they truly do it all! And I HIGHLY recommend using them, you won't regret it! Can't wait to use them for all of my events in the future. Thank you Cross + Swan Events for truly making an event into what will be one of my fondest memories! read more

The best money spent on our wedding was by far hiring Cross + Swan Events! We had a very small destination wedding which I thought was manageable, but the second I started having issues securing and contacting vendors I knew I needed a local expert. Sydney alleviated all wedding planning and coordination stress so I only had to stress about personal issues like packing and fitting into my dress... from setting a timeline to finding a replacement for our guitarist who canceled, Sydney handled it all! We were so happy with the vendors and how the day turned out :) read more

Jacquie and Sydney are the absolute best! They did such a fantastic job organizing our wedding, both in the months leading up to the wedding date and on the wedding day itself. They always made themselves available to discuss any concerns we might have had, and they were very responsive when we did reach out. They gave us terrific suggestions about vendors and put us in touch with some great people to do the photography and bartending. On the wedding night, we actually had several police visits relating to noise due to some overly sensitive neighbors, but neither I nor my wife were aware of that until the next day because Sydney and Jacquie did such a great job taking care of it. Basically, they were perfect in every way! Our wedding weekend was the best two days of our lives, and it would not have been possible without them. Thanks so much, Jacquie and Sydney! read more

An amazing, creative, helpful, kind, down-to-earth duo of women! They really helped bring our wedding to life!

Cross and Swan took all of the stress out of wedding planning, I could not of enjoyed my wedding as I did without them being involved in timelines and referrals and the wonderful day of event work they do. I recommend them to anyone planning a wedding! They truly make your day and your decor so bright and special with their special touches! read more

I cannot say enough about how wonderful these young women are, they are FANTASTIC!! I hired them a year ago to help with my daughters New Years Eve wedding and they did not disappoint. They helped create the most spectacular wedding my daughter could ever hope for, the most common compliment we received was that is was a "magical" night, and I couldn't agree more! They will help with as much or as little as you need and take care of tasks that are not that exciting during the wedding planning process. On the day of the wedding they worked harder behind the scenes than I could have ever imagined. From setting tables to loading my car with gifts at the end of the night to even making sure my husband and I always had a glass of wine in hand so we could enjoy ourselves as much as our guests... they do it all!!! Do not hesitate to hire Cross and Swan, I promise they are worth every penny! I will definitely be using them again when my next daughter gets engaged! read more
