I strolled into the Bridal Bar at the beginning of my wedding planning process where I really…read moredidn't know where to begin. After being there for 1.5 hours, I left with a stack of magazines, vendor information, a wedding resource book, and a better idea of what I wanted for my wedding. Leah helped me a lot in having me rank the different wedding related items to see what was important to me. This helped me with determining my budget and made me realize what was important for me to include in the wedding. Leah also followed up with me on certain vendors after our appointment and was always willing to help. The only downside with The Bridal Bar is that they only recommend vendors that pay them to advertise their services. Since they are in La Jolla, a number of the vendors are on the pricier side. There's no expense to you to use their services though, so I definitely recommend them to anyone planning their wedding in San Diego.

We just returned from our honeymoon a couple of days ago. I have added some pics to my profile…read morefrom the work InStyle Event Planning did on my wedding and wanted to provide some more details on what they actually did for our wonderful, amazing wedding. They provided the beautiful linens, did custom flower design based on my vision, and all decor for the ceremony and reception. They negotiated vendor contracts from chairs for the ceremony, to photographer, to DJ and limo service, saving us thousands. She finalized timelines for all of the vendors for me, and did all of the coordinating with them on everything, so this stressed out bride needed to do nothing other than know that it was all taken care of. They worked one on one with the general manager and assistant manager at the reception site regarding set up, timing, tear down, everything. The day of the wedding Shellie, the owner was a phone call away at all times, and she and her assistants were there until the very end. Erin was the assistant at the ceremony, making sure everything ran smoothly, while Shellie was setting up everything for our beautiful reception. During our rehearsal, Shellie and she were both there, and at the ceremony, everything went perfectly under Erin's guidance. When we spent a little extra time on pictures, and Shellie noticed that we were behind schedule, she asked if we wanted her to work out one more hour with the dj for more dancing after dinner. A quick yes from us was all it took and we were on. I can't stress how perfect everything was for our special day. Truly amazing.

The first thing I did when my husband proposed last year was convince him that we needed a wedding…read morecoordinator. That was the best decision we made! We got married on Sept 6, and we couldn't have had a more perfect wedding without Shellie of Instyle. We met Shellie when we visited a potential venue that we were interested in. Shellie and her team were busy at work, preparing for a wedding that day. The first thing I noticed was how nicely they had decorated the venue. As busy as she was, Shellie took some time to speak with us and answer some of our questions. We considered other wedding coordinators, but after our telephone interview with Shellie, we were confident that we she was the right fit for us. We had many ideas that we were able to bounce off of Shellie and get her feedback on, which proved to be very effective in shaping our vision for our big day. Shellie brings years of experience to the table and was able to sort out things that would and would not work for what we had in mind. As everyone knows, there are a lot of moving parts for such an event. Between coordinating with all the vendors, the officiant as well as the venue and keeping us in the loop and on schedule with our tasks, Shellie had it all working like a well oiled machine! Now keep in mind we started working with Shellie a year before our wedding date. From day one, Shellie had us on track and made sure we were locked and loaded on all the key tasks that needed to be done right up to, through and after our big day. From figuring out the decorations that went with our color scheme to working with us on options that took into consideration our budget, Instyle was our single point of contact. With all that being said, no matter how much up front planning there is, things change, stuff happens and adjustments must be made. Shellie and her team not only navigated us through these waters, they shielded us from the typical stress and distractions that come along with it. Trust me, as a bride and groom to be on the day of what is to be a once in a lifetime event, this alone is worth it's weight in gold! On the day of our wedding Shellie and her team were nothing short of amazing. When the bride hits traffic en route, no problem, Shellie stages everything so that as soon as I arrive, what could have easily been a 20 minute delay turns out to only be a 5 minute delay. When we realize that the video we plan to show during the reception is washed out because the sun is brighter than ever at 6:30pm, the Instyle team on the fly rearranges the schedule, coordinates with all the vendors to make it an evening show after dinner without a hitch and all our guests were none the wiser as if it were the original plan! And last but certainly not least, her team was always on point watching us in case we needed something or had a question. From start to finish Shellie and her team went above AND beyond the call of duty. As a result everything came together making it a memorable experience that our guests are still talking about weeks after the event. Now I know there are reviews like this that I've read where it's so over the top that you can't help but to question it's authenticity. Well, we will always be a reference for Instyle, so if you have any doubt about the quality, value or effectiveness of Instyle's services, be sure to have Shellie put you in contact with us and we'd be glad to share our experience with you directly. Just mention the couple who's husband to be suggested streamers for the reception decorations and she'll know exactly who you're asking about ;-) P.S. FYI after we both stopped laughing at him (sorry, "with" him ;-) Shellie converted his ideal into what became the perfect decoration accent to the reception area. All I can say is Whew! Thank goodness for Shellie and her team!

Brindy (B Planning) helped us make our wedding day exactly what we've always dreamt of and more!…read more During the months preceding our wedding, Brindy helped us to start envisioning what we wanted the theme and setting of our wedding to be. She met with us early on to give us guidance and a provided a general overview of important goal dates leading up to the big day. She helped calm my wedding fears by mentally preparing me for everything to come and always being positive and attentive with any worries I had. Since my husband and I are originally from Chicago and now living in SD as our home, roughly 95% of all of our guests would be flying in from out of town. We wanted to give them the ultimate San Diego destination wedding experience, and unconventional at that. With Brindy, that dream became a reality! From helping us to select a very unique venue (we ended up renting a private estate on the beach!) to bringing in and negotiating key pricing with our caterer and rental companies, Brindy was professional and on-top of each detail having the knowledge and experience from having planned many others weddings in the past. As the big day approached, she gave us great ideas for decorating the venue the day of and gave us ideas to save money all along the way, without ever having to sacrifice our overall vision or quality. As with any day of wedding, there were some hiccups, but thanks to Brindy I was oblivious to any of it while we were getting married and having the time of our lives. She took care of everything, from overseeing all vendors to making sure that all events took place timely and without any boring lulls like I've experienced at other weddings. Our guests loved every bit of it and I have the fondest memories of that day. I'm totally convinced that we owe it all to Brindy with B Planning:) If you are looking for a coordinator, please give Brindy a call. You'll be happily married before you know it, with her help of course!

She was so funny, helpful and readily available for any random questions that we may have had. Lindsay! We love you bro! BRICK as a venue itself is so so great, it's open and ready to be made into whatever you want for your special day. Pricing of the venue is also great in comparison to other venues that we looked at.
