Just to name a few very special touches: she brought a smile to our faces with having our fans on the guest seats for the ceremony :) Asking the bride whether to hold off the start to wait for delayed guests was so thoughtful. Getting those unruly ;) boys to be ready to catch the "garter football" was impressive - comes from having 4 kids I would guess! ;) I realized she was "everywhere" and in every part of the day, yet unseen in a remarkable way that I would imagine can only come with being the professional that she is. . .and 300 weddings! Samar was wonderful to reassure us at rehearsal, and multiple times before, that all the details would be handled and that all elements of the bride and groom's vision would be fulfilled. And it was! Bride and groom, mom and dad, we were absolutely so thrilled and very very happy with the beautiful day that our "baby girl's" wedding turned out to be -all thanks to Samar! We can't thank you enough for your presence, your patience, and your provision of expertise. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you, Samar.

Samar at Blissful Events was incredible in planning my proposal at Gundlach Bundschu Winery. She…read moreworked seamlessly within my budget and quickly suggested the perfect venue with just a few hints about what I envisioned. Samar coordinated everything--from the venue and photographer to the violinist and florist--and made sure every detail was taken care of. She even created a detailed schedule for everyone involved, ensuring everything went smoothly. Her expertise truly took the stress out of the process, and I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. I highly recommend Samar and Blissful Events for any special occasion. -Daniel & Vanely

Tina is the absolute best! You cannot go wrong with using her to plan your wedding. She was there…read morefor every step of the process and made sure that every detail was covered. She took away all the stress the day of our wedding and everything went flawless! Not only did I love working with her but all of our vendors had such nice things to say about her work and how great she is at her job. If I was starting back at square one in the wedding planning process there is no doubt I would choose her to be our planner!

Hiring Tina was truly the best decision we made for our wedding. We brought her on very last minute…read moreafter being completely abandoned by our previous planner, and she absolutely saved our wedding. From the very first call, she made us feel safe, supported, and taken care of, something that meant the world to us after such a stressful experience. She jumped in immediately, learned every detail of our day and somehow managed to organize everything with total calm and confidence. She was not only an incredible planner but also such a kind friend to me through the process. I never once felt like a burden, even with all the chaos that comes with planning a wedding. On the day itself, she ran the show flawlessly. So many of our guests went out of their way to tell us how smoothly everything went and how professional and composed she was. Every single detail was handled amazingly and all I had to do was enjoy the day. You can tell from the start how much experience she has and how gifted she really is! During our reception, I asked my mom to bustle my dress but she was enjoying the music (which I'm glad she was having the chance to) and Tina pulled me aside and bustled my dress without any direction or hesitation! I was so shocked because the seamstress gave me a ten minute long video and very specific instructions and Tina did it in 5 mins, no video, just skill. If you're looking for someone who is not only amazing at what she does but also genuinely cares about you as a person, Tina is the one. She took one of the most stressful situations imaginable and turned it into something beautiful and easy. I can't recommend her enough.

Tyler has a lot of experience in the wedding industry and it shows!…read more I hired Tyler to be my day-of coordinator at my wedding in Sea Ranch, CA for 60 people. From the beginning she made it clear what the timeline would look like for our partnership - what would be needed and when. When I became a little overwhelmed half-way through planning, Tyler was able to pick up additional scope of work which was a huge relief at the time. She also saved me a huge headache by picking up and dropping off some of my rental items since the minimum order spend for delivery was more than double my rental quote (my wedding was in a pretty remote area so most companies charged a high fee for delivery). Tyler was very thoughtful and organized about the little details I didn't think of which showcases her high degree of experience and attention to detail. She wasn't afraid to push on things on behalf of myself and my husband with our wedding venue - which I really appreciated! We had great communication throughout the wedding planning process - centralizing information in a shared Google doc. Tyler was willing to review my own personal wedding planning documents as well. She was always quick to respond to emails or texts, and also let me know in advance if she was going to be delayed in responding. On the day-of, Tyler had a great demeanor - when I saw her I could tell she was getting down to business but she made sure to keep things calm and light with me - making sure I felt comfy and relaxed on my wedding day. She kept things moving in the wedding day so we kept pace with the timeline. She made sure to account for all the logistical things like where to store decor items before and after the event. She was fantastic at corralling all the wedding vendors, collecting all the documents and information and knew when to keep me in/out of the loop at all times. Overall I would highly suggest working with Tyler for her high degree of experience, organization, thoughtfulness, and overall pleasant demeanor.

She is a beyond necessary component and an all around awesome person who we loved crossing paths with. She kept us organized and managed to make the wedding stress free even with hiccups that were out of anyone's control. I can't write a glowing enough review. Because of Tyler we literally had a perfect wedding of our dreams. Thank you so much Tyler. You're an absolute star. Oh, and there's even things she did that we wouldn't even think of like bringing us some more champagne from our room, or saving our place cards from our sweetheart table. She thought of EVERYTHING. Again, what are you waiting for? Book Tyler. Do it. Do it now.

Wow! Just had an event at the Lake in Placerville, Ca! That coordinating team was beyond amazing!…read more They said on the day of the wedding I could enjoy the wedding and all would be don't by the team and they were not mistaken! It was unbelievable! 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!!!

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 initially spoke with several other planners, but after our first call with Kimberly, we knew we wanted her to be the one helping us plan our event this past October in Sonoma. We insisted that Kimberly was our go-to with ASE. ASE has several levels of planning packages depending on what you are looking for. My Husband and I decided to go with the partial planning package and it was the perfect balance for us. We are from the Chicagoland area so having a planner in California where we were getting married was essential. Kimberly is also well-connected in wine country/the wedding industry and has relationships with many of the vendors who ASE has worked with over the years. This is a major perk, since she was able to point us in the direction of some of the best vendors out there! We always felt like we were in the right hands and were provided high quality recommendations by Kimberly. Throughout the past year of planning with Kimberly she was always kind and had such a positive attitude. Aside from being our wedding planner, Kimberly felt like a friend. Not only did we hear from several of our vendors how much they loved working with Kimberly and how organized she was, even several of our friends asked who she was because they noticed how on top of everything she was at the wedding. Everyone tells you how stressful wedding planning can be, especially since our entire planning process was virtual and during covid, but ours was carefree and fun! You also hear "something is going to go wrong the day of" but my husband and I can say that our day was flawless. If something did go wrong, it was nothing made known or visible to either us or any of our guests. When my Husband and I returned to our hotel room at the end of that night, Kimberly and her assistant had already returned all our signs and personal belongings to our room. They laid out my veil on the bed with our welcome sign so beautifully (see pic). Although this was a small gesture, we felt it was so thoughtful to walk back to at the end of what was already the perfect day! One final touch if you will! I have said to my husband on numerous occasions recently that I wish our wedding planning wasn't over and how I want to experience our day all over again and he agrees! Thank you, Kimberly for helping make our wedding one we'll always treasure and never forget! It was more magical than we could have ever envisioned!

Kelly and the ASE team are truly the best you can get when it comes to the wedding planning…read moreindustry. My 14 month engagement turned into 26 months and I cannot imagine having gone through the challenges the pandemic and wild fires presented without Kelly. In addition to her gorgeous work, creativity, and connections in the industry, she is as genuine as can be and truly wants the best for her brides, grooms and their families. Not only does Kelly want to make your wedding planning experience as easy and fun as possible, but she also does an incredible job of getting to know you and making the wedding extremely personal. She got to know my husband and me in addition to our story and overall vision for our special day/weekend. Kelly goes above and beyond. For example, Kelly knew mine and my husband's love for Crumbl cookies and it became a shared love between all of us. She had the great idea to pick up Crumbl catering for our Rehearsal Dinner, which was also my husband's birthday, because she knew how special that would be for us. This is just the smallest example of Kelly's thoughtfulness throughout the whole process. Our wedding planning process presented extreme challenges between having to postpone a full year due to the pandemic and having to find a new venue/caterer/other vendors after our original venue burned down, but Kelly had my back every step of the way. She worked tirelessly to give us the best options while still taking our budget and preferences into consideration. The day would not have been possible without her and we are forever grateful for her dedication, her hard work, and her genuine love for what she does. Three months later, anytime we see our friends and family, they still talk about how perfect and absolutely stunning our wedding day and weekend was. I knew our day would be special but it was beyond anything I could have ever dreamed of. Kelly and the ASE team went above and beyond in creating the most special, beautiful, personalized and intimate wedding for us and I will forever be grateful. I could go on for several more paragraphs, but in conclusion, if you are looking for a wedding planning team, you will be in the best hands with A Savvy Event!
