Cassandra was great to work with and I am so glad I hired her. We had regular meetings leading up to my wedding that were on my time, and at my office or somewhere close to my house. She is extremely detailed and goes over every minute of your special day. She recommended great vendors, responds to emails and texts almost immediately, and was just someone I could text any time of the day when I had an idea or concern about the wedding and I would get a response that reassured me. For the day of the wedding I cant even sing her praises enough. I didnt get a single panicked phone call from anyone because she was in touch with all the vendors all day. She arrived at the venue early, she was the first one there, and the last one to leave at at night. She made sure everything was set out perfectly, then at the end of the night, made sure everything was packaged up and ready to go and be picked up. During the wedding she kept us on our pre-planned schedule, which is so easy to divert from when you have 20 people pulling you each way. She made sure we ate, and had something to drink, and that all my guests knew where to sit. I do events professionally and as an event professional, I know that you cant do it all yourself and that if you hire good help, your event will run smoothly, and that is definitely what you need on a day like your wedding day.

The best decision we made as an engaged couple was hiring Jessica as our wedding planner…read more From the beginning, working with Jess for our Yosemite destination wedding felt like planning with a close friend--someone who truly understood our vision and cared deeply about making our dream wedding a reality. She planned the most picturesque celebration for us, with an unforgettable ceremony in Yosemite National Park and a stunning reception at Tenaya Lodge. Jess and her team arranged a perfect ceremony site at Yosemite's Sentinel Beach Picnic Area (permit in hand), and somehow made it feel both intimate and grand for our 100 guests. Everyone was comfortable, awestruck by the natural beauty, and touched by the seamless flow that her team executed. Organized, kind, artistic, and a true wedding pro, Jess went above and beyond at every turn. She coordinated all of our vendors--no small feat in the Yosemite area--and did it with such ease and confidence that we felt completely at peace throughout the process. Her digital planning software kept us on track without feeling overwhelmed, and she was incredibly responsive and flexible when any changes needed to be made. For context, we are based in Orange County, but Jess was consistently reliable via Zoom, call, or text throughout the whole process. The reception décor at Tenaya's Pavillion was the most breathtaking room I've ever walked into, and it would not have happened without Jess's eye for detail and expert guidance. She has a rare gift for matching couples with the perfect vendors and keeping everything on schedule without making it feel rigid or rushed. She and her team also flawlessly executed our rehearsal and welcome dinner, enhancing our Western-themed event with thoughtful decor touches that tied everything together beautifully. If you're getting married in or around Yosemite, Jessica Trettin is THE person to hire. Her local knowledge, vendor connections, and creative instincts are unmatched. But even outside of the region, I would recommend her wholeheartedly. She's nimble, efficient, and an exceptional events professional from A to Z. We are endlessly grateful to have had her by our side--our Yosemite wedding would not have been the same without her.

I booked The Wandering Bride to be the coordinator for my wedding in North Fork on October 12, 2024…read moreand Jess and Maggie were AMAZING!!! I originally thought I could do it without a coordinator, but panicked after booking my other vendors and I am SO glad that I booked The Wandering Bride!! Communication was outstanding, Maggie, who was our day of coordinator, was on top of EVERYTHING and they took everything they could off of my hands so I could just focus on enjoying the day. Maggie handled all the last minute communication with the vendors so I didn't have to, including a last minute start time change that we decided on at the rehearsal. I got to use their planning software, which includes the most detailed and thorough checklist, a timeline that we could collaborate on, and a seating plan creator, all of which were super helpful. Maggie was somehow everywhere all at once to connect with all the vendors and make sure things went off so smoothly, all the while while staying in contact with me so I knew what was going on and could ask any questions or make any last minute requests. Above all else, Maggie managed to take the fuzzy picture in my head of how I wanted things to look and make it bloom into something absolutely STUNNING! Everything looked and ran so professionally and so smoothly! Everyone, including the vendors, had an amazing time! I honestly cannot recommend The Wandering Bride enough!! Thank you so much, Jess and Maggie!!!

It really takes a lot for me to actually write a poor review in life! (though this experience makes…read moreme realize I ought to take time out to write some for the many amazing businesses I've had the honor of giving business to over the years!) Really, this one frankly ought to be a one-star review, as my friends would say I'm being way too nice. ;) I'd say the two-stars is mostly only thanks to the initial gal Cara I had spoken with, as she seemed great and I'm sure what happened isn't her fault AT all, as she wasn't ever on the actual e-mail thread with the office assistant person. Ah also the very first person I ever spoke with when I had first called back in July (don't recall her name?) seemed SO sweet and kind, so I at least feel that's worth the additional star as well. Anyway since the bridal world can be a tender time of life, I almost feel a responsibility to simply forewarn anyone searching for 'hourly' booking options, etc. Based on how this business behaved (them offering the client an hourly service option, going through a pre-booking process that was certainly questionable at numerous points, although I somehow still was willing to move forward with them at the time), and then a month later at the eleventh hour receiving a perplexing e-mail from them, with a tone of condescension asking to make sure I understood that this would be charged as an hourly service--when quite literally, that was the entire thing we were booking them for initially, so what a strange question! Then at that point, me as the client having to 'read between the lines', to directly ask if they'd sent that e-mail because perhaps they'd changed their minds/didn't want to take me on as an hourly client after all? And only then them confirming that yes that is the case, as essentially I wasn't worth it to them, so they abruptly canceled the agreement we'd e-mailed about. (Which is hilarious that I would have ended up paying them so much more than I'd originally imagined due to the amount of hourly work I'd started to plan to utilize them for, and not to mention referring them to many friends in the future--but instead, of course now someone couldn't even pay me to give this place business, sadly.) Thanks to this company's truly surprising treatment of a prospective client, and wasting time for so many weeks, I will no longer even be getting married in the location originally imagined. Yup. It put such a bizarre damper on the whole entire experience, to the point of actually taking away my previous dreams of getting married in Mammoth for now. Best of luck to everyone in their bridal era right now--the treatment out in the world is not always what you might expect! ;)

If you're looking for someone who's organized, passionate, and genuinely cares about their clients, look no further. Vanessa is an absolute gem!

To preface, I have experience hosting events from 50-200 guests and have worked with numerous…read morevenues and coordinators. Vanessa is by far the WORST venue coordinator I've interacted with in terms of customer service, industry knowledge, and communication skills. If you read the other positive reviews, you'll notice they ALL paid additional money for Vanessa to be their wedding coordinator. If you do not pay this, she is a horror to work with (as corroborated by the negative reviews), and I recommend AVOIDING this venue. Another reviewer also stated the owner is her brother-in-law so there is no recourse for her behavior and there are no other venue coordinators available. Detailed below are just some of the negatives: - The wedding was actually for my sister. She was having difficulties with Vanessa so asked me to assist. I reached out to Vanessa explaining who I was but never received a response. Instead, Vanessa told my sister that she felt threatened by my contact and will only work with individuals that signed the venue contract. I never said anything negative, but she often overreacted and took offense over nothing. - Every response took 2 weeks. She would contradict herself in the same email, which added confusion. - She would use made up lingo and when asked for clarification, she would blame us for not understanding "industry language" and still wouldn't clarify. In my 10 years, I've never heard some of the terms that she used. - She didn't understand standard wedding requests. We asked for a cake table and Vanessa responded that the request was unclear because she didn't know what size a cake table should be. We asked to add 2 rectangular side tables for guestbooks, gifts, etc. On the proposal, Vanessa commented "unsure why the client requested". - Unless asked, she wouldn't disclose critical information. We asked multiple times if additional tables (sweetheart, cocktail, etc.) are free. Vanessa confirmed they were free, but once the proposal arrived, it showed free tables with each linen at an additional charge. I told my sister to confirm if the venue provided cake cutting utensils. They don't (which is fine) but this is all information that you tell your clients without prompting. Imagine cutting the cake with no utensils! - When asked questions, she rudely responded with "NO" or "YOU'RE RESPONSIBLE" - In the 1.5 years of planning, despite multiple requests, the venue proposal was only updated twice - once for the initial contract and once when full payment was due 30 days before the event. My sister had to withhold final payment to get her to update it. She updated it 1 week after with inaccurate information. We annotated and returned it next day saying that she'd pay once it was correct. Vanessa had the audacity to respond that making notes on the proposal made it seem like they were stalling payment. Granted, there were 1-2 new updates amongst many more corrections but it was because Vanessa withheld information, and new adjustments were required after seeing the revised proposal for the 1st time. - Vanessa never provided a table layout. My sister had to create it and then confirmed if 5 round tables per row would work. On wedding day, we arrived to a different layout of 4 rounds per row. Vanessa blamed it on a 2 ft. wide photo arch, stating that she had to make adjustments to fit an arch that was discussed weeks prior. However, it was evident that the room would have NEVER fit 5 rounds per row. We had to rearrange the seating chart and the chairs to accommodate for her mess. - Also on wedding day, Vanessa was surprised to find the timeline included a champagne toast. Mind you, the timeline was provided 30 days ago and toasts are standard in weddings. So, she gave us 30 mins to decide on the additional champagne cost. I asked to remove 1 champagne bottle charge as there was an entire table of kids, but she refused. So apparently, the venue includes children in the champagne count even though serving alcohol to minors is illegal. - There was also a safety hazard. About 25 chairs with wheels/casters were intermingled with standard dining chairs. I unknowingly sat in a chair with casters and almost fell. There was no visible difference between the standard chairs vs. chairs with casters, and the table linens prevent anyone from seeing the casters. I told Vanessa who saw no issues and argued that people falling out their chair has never happened before. Thankfully, we were able to get these all replaced prior to the wedding to avoid any older guests from getting hurt. To the owner: Not only is Vanessa horrible to clients, but since she never updated the proposal, the kitchen used the original headcount and cooked 40 additional meals (talk about a waste of money). Also, due to not providing a table layout, the banquet captain Griselda set up tables once, and then had to come back 1 hr earlier to redo it, making staff do avoidable extra work.
