    Wedding day 12-13-14 Coordinated by Seneta @ Canyon View
    Erik L.

    Our wedding took place on 12-13-14 We literally planned and orchestrated the entire wedding just the two of us! However, planning and coordinating are two completely different tasks! We picked Canyon View as our reception venue and we met Saneta there for the very first time! The day of our wedding was unforgettable because Saneta and her staff made it very special. At first we thought we could handle all of the coordinating tasks ourselves or pass some of the responsibilities to the DJ but we quickly realized that wouldn't have been a good idea! We thought who needs a stinking coordinator when we can do everything ourselves right? Wrong! Once the pressure of time and so many other things to plan prior to the wedding accumulated, we finally decided to hire Saneta and "Direct My Day" to coordinate our event. Our wedding was enchanting from beginning to end and having Saneta as our coordinator was the icing on the cake! She took a heavy load of stress off our backs. In other words, she allowed us to enjoy our event and not stress or worry about any details! She was the director, the camera man, the producer, and the editor all at once! We were just actors playing the part in a well detailed and orchestrated movie! Saneta made our day more special than we expected! Hiring her was not only necessary but the smartest choice we made! She directed our event with finesse, etiquette, great attention to detail, and professionalism! I believe those are some of the qualities that landed Saneta the job as Canyon View coordinator. We trusted Saneta and her staff with a very important day which carried not only huge expenses but also great spiritual meaning to us. The date was also important because 12-13-14 will not repeat again for another 100 years! Saneta made our wedding and wedding date unforgettable! Thank you Saneta and all of your staff at "Direct My Day" for making our Wedding Day a Magical and Enchanted night a happily ever after we will never cease to forget! Erik & Noelia 12-13-14

    My husband and I first met Saneta at the Canyon View San Ramon venue one year ago (which is an awesome venue by the way!). She had offered us a service to direct our once-in-a-lifetime event, and I have to say that they did an excellent job! Saneta and Courtney both were there for us from the beginning of my preparation, until the end of day on our wedding day. I hear from advices and from my own experiences, that hiring the right wedding coordinator is very crucial to ensure smooth and enjoyable wedding day. You would not want to worry about all the small details and ruin your enjoyment for the day. You can plan all your dream wedding details and events up until few days before your wedding, and then you can delegate them to Direct My Day. Next thing, all you have to do is show up and enjoy your own banquet! You are able to drop off your wedding items one day before the wedding, and have DMD takes care of everything from placecards, drinks, guestbooks, wedding favors, candles, seating charts, and anything else you can think of. Saneta and Courtney have both been so responsive by email, texts, and phone calls. I feel like we have soo many questions regarding the venue, banquet, and rundown details, yet they never fail to answer every single questions. They were also able to accommodate wedding rundown changes and adjust to our preferences. Our wedding went smoothly and we really enjoy every single minutes if it. I feel like hiring DMD is one of the best decisions I have ever made! Saneta also has grown to be more than just our wedding organizer. She actually comforted me when I was overwhelmed by so many details of the wedding planning. Such a sweet lady! The venue itself, Canyon View Banquet Hall, is also a hit amongst our guests. They have not stopped talking about how beautiful the wedding was and that the BYOB open bar was awesome! This venue just understands that not everybody is a drinker, and we can save money and buy our own number of alcohols judging by your guests. Everything from the banquet hall, foods, the fountain and the actual "canyon view" are so beautiful and great! Our guests love the sunset photo time! Canyon View was just renovated earlier this year. The new hardwood floor and the lighting package made our wedding so beautiful! The food was so delicious according to our guests, especially the salmon and prime ribs! The tiramisu dessert is also to die for, based on our guests' compliments. In conclusion, we HIGHLY recommend Canyon View and Direct My Day!

    See all

A lot of tears were shed the weekend before when I realized the entire event would be moved indoors. I was a wreck. But ARIANA was my event coordinator and she made me feel so reassured it would be beautiful and she was right. Our planning had gone well the whole year leading up to our wedding week and then I thought it was all falling apart. But she was amazing. She pulled it together and it was stunning!! The Monday before the wedding, she calmed me down and walked me through how it would all be setup inside the cocktail reception area. Our guests said it was better than if it had been outside!! It was cozy, by the fireplace while it was raining outside. Had so many compliments on the ceremony. We attended one of the bridal events to try some food and nothing blew us away then but the food on the wedding day was amazing. Again, so so many compliments from our guests on how good the food stations were. It was seriously really good! My family friends and I joked that all the craziness was the "storm before the calm". Once I had to be in place, ceremony was starting etc..it was the calm. Everything was perfection. Dj Chris was amazing too. I felt so special and everyone there really makes you feel like you are all VIP. Ariana was amazing at the rehearsal too! It's like corralling cats! Everyone is everywhere and talking and walking off. She got to the important stuff and was so patient. And kind. She was also so good and keeping track of all the details (I had a LOT OF DETAILS). Many vendors I hired, timelines, decor and she had it all down. Very capable. And also, what's really nice is although she was my main coordinator she's not there every day (obviously!) but anytime I called whoever answered the phone was able to make notes and she would always follow up too. Can't say enough about the experience!! Only that I want to do it again!!!! lol

We arrived 5 minutes early and were greeted by her lovely assistant. We were informed to wait a little while and we ended up waiting 20 minutes . No apologies. Sandra met us when she was done with the last client . We were wondering why stressed so much about " on time " while she could not keep the appointment as scheduled. The venue is beautiful, nicely devoted with big Wi downs and screen so you could appreciate the sunshine and green lawn outside . It was also big enough to accommodate 200 - 250 guests . It has a big dance floor , outdoor area to have a wedding ceremony and a fountain . The basic cost of the venue was the cheapest compared to other . However, they have a detailed list of renting cost every single item ( like dessert bowls , chair cover , dessert spoons, cocktail table , etc ) . I have enclosed a list for your reference. I would not recommend to come to this venue for the hidden costs and inconvenience. We did not appreciate the dinner banquet was only Buffett style . Saneta told us that they did not have the staffs and time to do table service. We were expecting an elegant dining banquet and were quite disappointed.

Within a day of sending an email, Erin had replied with detailed information about the month-of coordination services she offers and invited us to join her for an initial meeting to find out more about our event and the services we were seeking. From that first meeting it was clear that Erin was not only a capable and organized planner, but also that she had the experienced knowledge of our venue that we needed to ensure a smooth and successful event. Though we hired Erin for month-of coordination services, she met and corresponded with us regularly over the course of 5 months, and helped ensure that our own planning was on track and that all our questions about the venue and vendors were answers. Throughout the process she was helpful, calm, personable and available. During the weeks leading up to the event she took over the communication and coordination with our vendors. On the day of the event she helped to ensure that my sister and brother-in-law's wedding visions became a reality, and kept things flowing smoothly and responded quickly when unexpected hiccups occurred (as they inevitably will during a wedding). For anyone planning a wedding in the Bay Area, we would highly recommend Erin and Allora Events, particularly if your event is at the Rengstorff House!

With every wedding there will always be some type of issue that arrives and with the bumps we faced, it was as if SLE worked magic and made everything better. Leading up to the wedding, Lindsay was so thorough and detailed and made sure to cover everything I did not know even needed to be covered - from placing our custome table numbers (also giving advice on what to use in case of strong winds), lighting our candles, tying the rose petal cones to the chairs, and tons of reception layout drafts. She asked many questions to make sure she understood what we were envisioning and had the most detailed notes I had ever seen! At the same time, she continued answering my 1000000 questions with lots of reassurance that everything will be more than OKAY. Even when we got scammed by a vendor, she was so empathetic and assisted us in what actions to take and other vendors we can look into! You can tell Lindsay is so passionate about her job and it shows with how loving and understanding she is towards the bride and groom, everyone that was a part of the wedding as well as our guests! Even my guests called out how organized and perfect everything looked - it was as if nothing at all went wrong. Lastly, I was also one of the brides who wasn't as organized towards the end of the process and started to be indecisive.. Lindsay was a hero and all my last minute wants/changes and requests were all answered and executed with excellence. So if you are looking for a dream team to coordinate your wedding and give you so much love, support , guidance and patience.. Work with Simply lovely events. You will not regret it at all!

We recently got married at Little Hills and after touring at least 10 other spots, and we are so glad we went with our hearts on this one. Our first day of tours we absolutely loved LH, but couldn't believe that we'd found our spot immediately. Fast forward four weeks of touring, and we ended right back where we thought. Lindsey and the team were attentive to details, provided an absolutly gorgeous space, and made our 225 person wedding feel intimate and special. This space itself is the perfect fully outdoor backdrop for any vibe (we went super colorful) and there is some flexibility with vendors, which was important to us. We ended up going with their in-house catering and, not only were they on top of it with timing (double sided buffets), our guests keep raving about how wonderful the food was (this was super important to us). We did a moderate amount of DIY, but they have a full spectrum of offerings from full DIY to all inclusive, all executed with solid value. With our big guest count, we ended up hiring an outside day-of coordinator, but the venue comes with extra day-of support as well. We ended up adding extra vendor time onto our contract so that folks could get in early and it was worth the extra cost for us. I'll be raving about LH forever to all our friends and family, and now I just wish that they listen so we can experience the space as guests. They really made our day everything we were hoping for!

    I'm simply going to state what happened and try to leave my feelings on this venue/coordinator out…read more We booked a tour 2 weeks in an advance, they have a strict policy where you must show up 10 minutes early or they cancel (we were early), and we had to wait until some childcare issue was resolved so she got there a bit late. We didn't know there was this issue, we called and texted without a response back, so we decided to walk around to see if we could find anyone. The best way to describe this place was that it looked suddenly abandoned mid-activity weeks ago. Doors were open all over the place, cars parked, items from previous events still out, dead leaves in the offices from the doors being open. No one was on site. The nature here is absolutely beautiful and was the main reason we decided to tour here. She gets there, explains why she was late, all is fine. The problem began when she immediately started downselling the place. First, it's that they don't really do 30 person events, more like 150-200, but then proceeds to show us pictures of a small 30ish person wedding. That we would need to pay for the minimum of 50 people even for 30 with the caterer, which was not a cost issue for us. We hadn't discussed any budget or other details besides it was a 30 person wedding and general dates. Then, our preferred dates in Oct/September may not be possible due to construction happening and it "should be posted all over her website". Yall, I checked after the fact and it was nowhere. We were still flexible on dates so again, not an issue. Mind you, this is maybe 5 minutes into the interaction. She reluctantly gave us a tour with minimum details. We had to inquire about most things meanwhile she stated she's been an event coordinator for like 7 years. She barely asked us any questions. She did ask what kind of food we wanted after we declined the Mediterranean option. We said Mexican and she said the minimum would depend on the caterer. She didn't really start to perk up and take the tour a bit more seriously until we mentioned we were from a wealthier area. And even then, she kept asking "really?". At the end of the short tour, she asked if we had received a proposal and we had not. She was somehow convinced we booked a tour last minute. She sounded so shocked no one ever got us anything in the 2 weeks we had booked the tour and said they would get a real proposal with our specific guest count. Even threw in a comment regarding food and how a taco truck would work (we didn't say taco truck). Two weeks later and we never got any sort of proposal or communication. This was such a deeply unprofessional meeting. We were ready to book, we didn't really have too much of a budget, and would have been happy to meet the irrelevant 50 person minimum for food. However, we couldn't even get a proposal out of this venue/team or a full tour based on the pictures of areas we didn't see. Avoid.

My wedding day wouldn't have been a success without their help! A while back, my friend told me that she used One Plus One Wedding Services (OPOWS) for her wedding in 2019. She had good things to say about them. My SIL's friend also used OPOWS, so I figured that if a few of my mutual connections have used this vendor, then I should work with them as well. Since I didn't have a wedding planner, going with a one-stop shop wedding services package was definitely a big help. It made my wedding execution seamless! I reached out to OPOWs about a year before my wedding date. Aggie is the main person who runs OPOWS. Aggie was super responsive with our conversations. She informed me about the wedding service package options. I decided to go with the Plus Package option which includes: photographer, videographer, wedding dresses (which I didn't use), Emcee, DJ (I gave the DJ our custom playlist since my husband and I wanted to pick our songs), hair and make-up artist, reception decorations, and chair covers. We scheduled to meet a few times before my wedding. Aggie was super helpful with providing recommendations and tips. I could tell that she really cares about her clients and wants to leave a good impression. Nearing my wedding date, she provided me with a run down schedule so that I could coordinate with her team and the external vendors that she partnered with. We made sure that my wedding day itinerary made sense. On the day of my wedding, I met most of my vendors in person. I was definitely stressed out because I always have this fear that something will go wrong. But to my surprise, all of my vendors did an excellent job on my wedding day. I could tell that they really enjoyed their job and tried to help me make the most out of my wedding day. Throughout the wedding and after the wedding, I received so many compliments from my guests in regards to the wedding decorations, the vendors we used, and etc. I made sure to advertise OPOWS to my guests in case they want to work with a one-stop shop vendor haha. Thank you again Aggie and team! My wedding day was very memorable and filled with happy memories! NOTE: If you're Chinese and can speak some Cantonese, this would make communicating a lot easier. Aggie, her team, and the external vendors that she works with are Chinese. There was a slight language barrier when communicating with Aggie and the external vendors since my Chinese isn't that great haha. But overall, we were able to communicate and get through the wedding planning!

    One Plus One did an amazing job planning and executing our wedding! We booked the highest package…read moresince I was really interested in a package that included engagement photos and OPO had the most competitive prices. We paid extra for our photographer (Tang) and my MUA (Hera) was amazing. Hera was my main point of contact regarding any upgrades, questions, or changes to our package. While Hera was on vacation, I worked with Aggie to discuss and finalize the decorations of the venue. I picked out my potential dresses months in advance and Hera put them on hold for me as another bride was interested in one of the dresses I picked out. The MC and DJ were assigned a month before the actual wedding to discuss a song list and anything the MC needed to confirm and know in advance. Our MC was Jason and he was very lively and made the night more fun with his enthusiasm. The entire team was very patient and worked with me throughout the whole planning process as I had many questions and requests. I'm really glad I booked OPO because I didn't need to deal with additional vendors and could focus on what I really wanted for my wedding that OPO didn't cover. Everything came out amazing and I would highly highly recommend their service for anyone debating on booking a package for their wedding.

    My husband and I found Lindsay through a recommendation by my high school teacher (who also happens…read moreto be the owner of Mattevideo). Initially, we went to her website, loved what we saw, so we decided to reach out. She responded in a timely manner, and within a day of our initial email, we were able to speak to her over the phone. She was so easy to talk to, immediately we felt that she was the right pick for us. She is very communicative, responsive, and has a warm personality. We met with her approximately 5-6 times during our wedding planning process, and she was extremely patient with us from beginning to end. Even during the months leading up to our wedding, when the stress really kicked in, she was always sweet and willing to help. She definitely provided a lot of guidance to us and we trusted her expertise and vision for everything. Up to this day we still receive compliments about how well put together our wedding was. We had a dream team of vendors, and Lindsay was definitely one of them. Thank you LLE!

    I had the pleasure of working with Lindsay and her team (Kayla was leading this particular event)…read moreat my recent couple's wedding at The Club at Ruby Hill and they did such a fantastic job! As a wedding vendor, its always so helpful to have a planner on board who is so organized, communicative, and kind. Kayla was a breeze to work with before, during, and after the event. She even made sure the reception space was staged for me prior to prepping for dinner service so that I could capture some amazingly beautiful shots for the couple. The wedding itself came together perfectly! Everything went off with out a hitch and the wedding was a blast for the guests as well as myself. I highly recommend this team to anyone getting married and hope to work this these ladies again in the future!

    If you're looking for a wedding planner who's professional but easy to work with, look no further…read morethan Justina of JL Events! This review is seriously long overdue as our wedding was way back in October 2022 at Casa Real (my apologies for the delay!) Early on in our engagement, my husband and I were ambivalent on the idea of hiring a wedding planner. We had already chosen several of our main vendors and thought we could save money and handle planning our wedding on our own but we were mistaken.  We were soon overwhelmed with all the details and started to have decision-making fatigue so we decided to look for a wedding planner. After quite a bit of research we chose Justina/JL Events and we are so grateful we did! Her services were definitely worth the investment. We highly recommend Justina for wedding planning and coordination. She is professional but personable, trustworthy, and very easy to work with. She had great communication from the start and all throughout the preparation for our big day; her responsiveness was amazing. During our first meeting, Justina quickly identified our needs and vision and created a detailed timeline for our wedding planning. She helped us narrow down design choices and accompanied us to meetings with vendors. We were impressed by her organization and proactive approach! Having Justina as our planner helped alleviate much of the stress that comes with planning a large wedding (we had about 260 guests.) There were several instances in which we were frustrated dealing with unresponsive vendors but Justina was great at facilitating communication and even helped us find better companies to work with. Justina helped us stay on track during rehearsal day and was an expert problem-solver. She coordinated with our vendors and the staff at Casa Real with ease and was patient with us and our large wedding entourage. On the day of our wedding, Justina and her assistant Dana took such great care of us and we were able to enjoy our wedding celebration! Justina truly demonstrated her expertise with event coordination. We really appreciated her taking so many behind-the-scenes photos and videos, too! She also created our beautiful wedding cake topper and welcome sign. Thank you Justina for helping us have the wedding of our dreams! We are forever incredibly grateful for you!

    My husband and I just had our wedding last week on 12/15/24! Justina was our wedding coordinator…read moreand she was truly amazing. She is not only detail oriented, responsive, organized, and professional, but she is also thoughtful and personable. She even helped save us money on not going into over-time with our wedding venue! She also saved our wedding timeline (we initially had an early start time for our ceremony because we thought sunset photos were always taken afterwards, but she helped us move things around and coordinated with our photographer to really make our timeline better and more efiicient)! Leading up to our wedding day, she was on multiple video calls with us to make sure we were on track and had everything we needed. She was so good at anticipating our needs and helping us execute every little detail that we wanted for our wedding day. I also knew Justina was good because she helped plan my best friend's wedding, who was my matron of honor at my wedding! A full circle moment haha. Justina was so professional, but working with her also felt like planning my wedding with a friend. She is so kind and sweet and I will truly miss working with her. She even helped to keep me warm when I was standing outside in cold December night weather. We really couldn't have done it without Justina and we are SO glad we picked her to be our wedding coordinator. We couldn't have asked for a better person to help us plan the best day of our lives!
