Having Very Merry Events coordinate during the month of our wedding was one of the best decisions…read morewe could have made! Our wedding was held at Cornerstone Sonoma which plays hosts to multiple property attractions including a winery, barn, dinner tent, shops and outdoor art installations. With a venue as such, VME was efficient and strategic in all accounts to ensure each phase of our wedding ran smoothly. Rom was absolutely amazing as our lead coordinator! Right off the bat, she understood our style and the type of wedding we wanted to plan. She showed a genuine interest and offered sincere suggestions which we really appreciated. With it being wedding season and all, we never once felt her attention divide. We can not thank her enough for being engaged and on top of everything. As a bride who has never dreamed up a wedding as a child, we were kind of just pulling random pins in hopes it would all come together. Rom was really supportive of all our major DIY projects and even scheduled touch bases to help keep us on track. We commend her patience and positive attitude throughout the entire adventure-- which I have to mention was tested during our ride from the hotel to the venue! With a storage mishap, each of the bridesmaids literally held a layer of our four tiered wedding cake in lap as we steadily drove all while keeping with the timeline schedule. Let me just say how comforting it was, Rom was completely calm and collected ensuring me the cake would be assembled without worry. In my head, I'm just praying we don't run over a speed bump and butter cream her entire interior! The level of dedication we received from Rom and VME on our wedding day was above and beyond anything we expected! The communication between all our vendors alongside the VME team was consistent from start to finish. Throughout the day we even received compliments from our guests on their professionalism and how well each series of events was executed and transitioned to the next. It was clear all parties involved were on the same page. Number one wedding day advice: spend a moment with each other to just take it all in. We are so grateful for Rom, as we were lucky enough to take in many moments during our wedding day!

Mary was absolutely fabulous to work with. She was the second or third planner we met with and we…read morehit it off right away. Mary asked what style I was thinking and came through during our first meeting with pictures and swatches of what I wanted. She is very professional, prepared for anything, and above all just a cool planner that we can now call a friend. I would say that hiring a planner is such an essential thing because she was so on top of things and supportive whenever I needed her. My mom just loved her also and was very pleased with the work she did. Mary really put her whole heart into making my dream wedding come true and would recommend her to anyone.

Not only does she have impeccable taste, she is also a wonderful person that you want to surround yourself with when planning your special day. She is honest, clear, well connected and will always point you in the right direction. If you are asking yourself should I work with a wedding planner for my special day, the answer is absolutely. Is Genevieve and the Lily Spruce team the ones you should go with? They are worth every penny.

I've attended weddings that chose to forgo a wedding planner and you could see the difference when it came to organization and keeping folks in order. Genevieve and her team was a dream come true for our wedding during the pandemic. I was those brides who had to postpone our wedding twice. She took good care of us during that time of uncertainty and I didn't feel alone at all. Our wedding was at California Academy of Sciences. I loved seeing her take my Pinterest inspirations and bring it to life at the venue. Genevieve and her team took all the weight off my shoulders when it came to scheduling with all the vendors and decoration placement. They were very attentive to my emotional needs on the day of the wedding as well. Genevieve and team, ya'll hold a special spot in our hearts for making it a wonderful wedding day that we will never forget. Thank you so much for all you've done for us. Sending lots of peace and love to the team at Lily Spruce.

I am forever grateful to Amy and the team at Goodstock Productions for making our wedding the best…read moreday of our lives so far. Our guests could not stop commenting on how we had the most seamless flow and personal wedding they had ever been to. After interviewing a number of candidates, what made us pick Amy was how she balanced both being extremely organized/professional as well as friendly/down-to-earth. Whether you want a traditional wedding, an eclectic out-there wedding, or you aren't even sure what kind of wedding you want yet - Goodstock has your back. My husband and I were having our wedding at a very strict venue that operated like a well-oiled wedding machine, but we still wanted a wedding that felt uniquely like us and Amy helped us deliver on that vision at our budget and in the way we truly wanted. I could go on-and-on, but here are some of the top reasons you should choose Amy and Goodstock for your wedding: + PROFESSIONAL, TIMELY, ORGANIZED. Coming from a type A girly who loves/works in spreadsheets but had very little time because of a demanding job, I was impressed by Amy's ability to be thorough but also clear/concise for people who aren't familiar with sheets. + KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERTISE. Amy knows weddings, and was so on top of details and questions that I would -never- have thought of on my own. + PERSONALIZED, JUDGEMENT-FREE, AND REALISTIC. Amy and Goodstock make sure that you are having the wedding YOU want, and do not press their own agenda. No question or request is off limits, but Amy knows how to kindly and professionally let you know what is realistic and what is not. If you disagree, she will not stop you from moving forward, and will do her best to make it happen. + FLEXIBLE AND RESOURCEFUL. Amy is extremely creative and well-connected - she helped us make our vision for very specific and unique pieces come true, and at the budget we needed. She has a great network of vendors and an endless amount of ideas to make things happen. + FORESIGHT AND CARE. Amy took the time to get to know me, my husband, and details about our guests to make sure attention was given where it was needed. She called out things that we may want to address before it happened, and genuinely cared about both our experiences as well as our guests. + CALM AND SUPPORTIVE. When there's an inevitable hitch during planning or even unexpected events on the wedding day, Amy was there with a solution and support. I am admittedly not the nicest person under wedding stress, and Amy was my rock through everything. TL;DR - If you want someone who is professional, resourceful, caring, on-it, and feels like both the best planner you've ever had and the cool girl you want to be friends with - pick Amy and Goodstock!

Shannon saved our wedding over and over again -- we couldn't have asked for a better wedding…read moreplanned. From the beginning, she was amazing. She describes herself as a "mellow Type A", and that's really true. She's not in-your-face and intense like some of the planners we considered, and yet she gets the job done beautifully, is super on top of her stuff, and shines when obstacles arise (before and during day-of). We had a relatively complicated wedding, for ~130 guests, 2 completely different locations for ceremony and reception, and a lot of customization. Shannon was incredibly patient with us all the way, and truly understood what mattered and what didn't, and helped us create a day that truly looked like us. She also calmed us during the entire process, even when we hit major snags (like having the bar company cancel on us the week before the wedding) -- her expertise and know-how really came to shine during those times. All throughout, she was a pleasure to work with. We'd hire her over again and again. Thank you, Shannon, for your amazing work!

Our Wedding was 10.18.19…read more We found Asma on Yelp and my Wife and I were blown away by her creativity and eloquence. We were originally referred to another vendor by a friend, but the unprofessionalism and lack of creativity forced us to look elsewhere. Vendor after vendor tried to change our vision and were very money driven. Queue Asma for the save! She was very warm and welcoming as we met up at her warehouse. We never felt pressured and she made us feel like our vision can actually become a reality. We made a few adjustments, but the end result was immaculate. I will update the post when we get the professional photographer's pictures from our event, but we wanted to share our enthusiasm of Asma and her team in a review. She and her team are super professional in that she had a team working on the inside for our reception and outside for our Ceremony. They came within the window specified for setup and finished before our Ceremony started. Our venue was Canyon View (which is amazing) and even the regular vendors complimented how they have "never seen the venue look like this before." We definitely passed the compliment over to Asma! You should definitely check out Asma's Instagram and Snapchat pages for her current projects, but we would definitely do business again and would highly recommend her services to anyone looking for classy/timeless decor for ANY event! Here is our same day edit video (that has some of her work): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRN-a8xdj44

During the pandemic, I lost money with other vendors, but Asma stayed with me through it all, helping me pick up the pieces and still pushing to ensure I had the wedding of my dreams. With the stress of coordinating multiple vendors, Asma stood out as the one who remained trustworthy, caring, and committed to going above and beyond. If I could give her 10 stars, I absolutely would. My wedding was stunning, and people are still talking about it -- largely because of the incredible design, décor, and attention to detail she provided. Thank you so much, Asma you're not just the best florist second to none, you are now a friend!

My husband was living out of state (military), I was working full-time and it just felt like mission impossible to pull off a wedding for ~180 guests in 4 months. Amanda's attention-to-detail, thoughtful plans, and caring demeanor made us feel at-ease through every step and most importantly, on the day of the wedding. We were able to enjoy our perfect wedding day because Made to Love Events took care of everything else, so we actually have no clue what issues may have arose, if any. It was important to Amanda that we got our dream wedding, so she was able to secure the location that met each desire: along the water, outdoors, and could fit all of our guests! Thank you Made to Love Events for making our wedding dreams come true!!! My husband wants it to be known, "you'd be a fool not to hire Amanda for one of the most important (if not, the most) and special moments of your life!"
