    Kathryn Herring from Embrace Bliss is awesome! I can honestly say that I did not stress out one time once I hired Embrace Bliss. My 13 year-old daughter made a comment to me about Kathryn one day that I thought was funny. She said, "Mom, I didn't like your friends wedding planner because she was bossy and she just got on my nerves. Kathryn isn't like that at all. She's really nice." It's true. Kathryn has a way of getting things done without being pushy or bossy and she has a great personality and sense of humor too. She was so easy to work with and she is a great communicator. She always responded in a timely manner and never left me wondering about anything. If she didn't have an answer for me yet, she would let me know that and wouldn't just leave me hanging until she got one. For our very first meeting, my fiance & I met with Kathryn for about 2 hours where she just talked with us, got to know us, and asked us about our vision. She asked us questions that helped her understand things we liked and didn't like about previous weddings we had been to. Once we hired her, we agreed that she would find our ceremony site, reception venue, photographer, and florist, as well as give us ideas for decorations, and obviously run the show on the big day. I cannot express enough how Kathryn "nailed it" every time with her recommendations. The first reception venue she suggested we LOVED. The first ceremony site she recommended we LOVED. And what was amazing is that everything was in our budget. The Florist and Photographer Kathryn selected were great choices too -- not only because of their high quality, but also because they were so friendly and easy to work with. Kathryn also booked the hairstylist and make-up artist for me and my bridesmaids and everyone look beautiful!!! Kathryn knew that my husband & I are "80s rockers" and that we wanted to have a nice & traditional wedding, but sprinkled with a little bit of "edginess." She made great suggestions along the way for our special day that really made it stand out compared to other weddings I've attended. We were married on July 27, 2014, and my husband & I still have people telling us that our wedding was the best wedding they have ever attended. Some comments I've received are that it was fun, the pace was great -- not too fast and not too much waiting for the next thing to happen, the reception venue was the perfect size for the number of people we had, all of the personal touches (that Kathryn suggested) were great, etc. Kathryn ran the show the day of the event and she did such a great job AND she looked great that day too. She was dressed comfortably but also appropriately for a wedding. At one point she asked me when I wanted to do something and I told her, "I don't want to make any decisions today." She responded, "No problem" with a big smile and she made all of the decisions that day (which she wanted to do anyway but she wanted to make sure I was OK with it first.) Planning a wedding can be so stressful because there is so much to do and remember and certain things need to be completed according to timelines, etc. I honestly can say that hiring a wedding planner was the best money I have ever spent. This was my second wedding and I did not hire a planner the first time. The stress level was night and day between the two. If you live in the South Bay area I would highly recommend Kathryn. She is a gift for any bride!!!

    We got married last October and Corinth was our incredible day-of coordinator. I knew I didn't want…read moreto spend the day worrying about logistics, and having someone with her expertise was absolutely the right choice. From the moment we reached out to N&FL to the actual wedding day, the entire timeline was under three months (I know...crazy!). Despite the quick turnaround, Corinth made sure everything came together seamlessly. In the weeks leading up to the wedding and on the day itself, she kept everything organized, on schedule, and running smoothly. What really stood out was how proactive she was. Since our venue was a space she hadn't worked in before, Corinth actually visited ahead of time to familiarize herself with it, figure out the best locations for vendor setups, and ask thoughtful questions we hadn't even considered. That level of care and preparation made a huge difference and gave us so much peace of mind. Because of Corinth and her calm, positive energy, we were able to fully enjoy our wedding day without worrying about a single thing. If you want someone who will hype you up, keep everything running smoothly, and make your wedding day feel easy and fun, Corinth is your person. We're so grateful she was part of our big day!

    My husband and I absolutely LOVED working with Kaitlin from Now & Forever Love. We recently got…read moremarried in September and have been in communication with her since last December/January. From the very beginning, Kaitlin set the tone with monthly check-ins, and as the wedding drew closer, she increased communication to every couple of weeks. Her consistency, organization, and reassurance kept us on track and prevented us from falling behind on important tasks. Even though we only booked the "Love" package/month-of coordination, Kaitlin went above and beyond. She was always happy to provide vendor recommendations, guidance on tricky wedding decisions, and support whenever we needed it. She created a detailed timeline, helped us with rehearsal, and handled all communication with our vendors leading up to and on the big day--ensuring everything ran seamlessly. Thanks to her, we hardly felt stressed or overwhelmed!! On our wedding day, Kaitlin and her assistant Jazmin worked tirelessly behind the scenes. Because of them, my husband and I were able to be fully present and truly enjoy every moment. When a couple of minor hiccups popped up due to the venue running behind, they pivoted effortlessly and kept us informed--so smoothly that we hardly even noticed there was an issue! We can't recommend Now & Forever Love highly enough. Kaitlin's professionalism, organization, and calming presence made our day more perfect than we ever imagined. If you're on the fence about booking, do yourself (and your fiancee) a favor and say YES--you won't regret it!

    Paola and Sandra did an incredible job helping plan our wedding. I got married a couple weeks ago…read moreat Terranea hotel and it was the best day of my life. We found the Say I Do to Details team online and I was highly impressed by their good reviews. Their planning exceeded my expectations. From being always available, to providing suggestions and insight into timeline, and coordinating everything so well the day of, their team is simply the best. I admire their passion for planning and it was so incredible working with them. I worked with Paola and Sandra directly and Sandra was there day of. Paola and Sandra are very experienced, professional, and kind. Both were actively involved in the planning process. I'm extremely type A and it's hard for me to trust people to take over (especially when I knew it was one of the most important days in my life) and take on tasks, but I trusted them 100%. To start off, they have a lot of experience working at Terannea, which made things a lot easier for us and helped things run smoothly. Moreover, the vendors I selected knew of Paola and Sandra and their team and I admired their good reputation in the wedding industry. Knowing what I know now, it would have been easier for me to have hired them as full on planning instead of day of coordination just because they're so good at what they do that I really trust every decision they make. I keep getting comments from my family and friends that the wedding was one of the best they've been to. Moreover I've received many comments specifically from my bridal party and close family about the incredible planning team keeping the day so smooth and on track. There's a trend on social media about "wedding regrets" and my husband and I keep saying to eachother thankfully that we have zero regrets. Every vendor was amazing and the planning team really went above and beyond what was asked of them and for that I'm forever grateful. I appreciate that the team asked us what 3 things were important to us on our day. 1. our guests have an amazing time 2. the timeline runs smoothly 3. to have fun That's exactly what happened! I am grateful that I was not stressed the day of and we are so happy we found Sandra and Paola as they helped turn my dream wedding into a reality. The wedding went even better than I could have imagined and I can say without a doubt that it would not have gone so perfectly without Sandra and Paola with Say I Do to Details. I will 100% contact them to help plan any party I have in the future. Choose them for your planning team- you won't regret it!

    Sandra and the Say I Do To Details team were absolutely amazing!! With just over a month until the…read morewedding date, they brought the entire day together. A month out and no photographer, videographer, tables, silverware, layout, and the day turned out absolutely perfect. I can say with great confidence that if we had not found the Say I Do To Details team, we most likely would have had to postpone the wedding date. Thanks to Sandra and her team for helping my sister have her perfect day!

    I recently had the pleasure of working with Ashley Brantner of First Pick Planning for Lindsay and…read moreMason's wedding, and she was fantastic to work with from start to finish. Ashley was organized, communicative, calm, and incredibly collaborative throughout the entire day. As a photographer, I especially appreciate a planner who keeps the timeline moving while still giving the couple room to actually enjoy their wedding--and Ashley did that beautifully. She communicated clearly with the entire vendor team, handled the many moving pieces behind the scenes, and helped create a day that felt relaxed rather than rushed. Most importantly, Lindsay and Mason were able to be fully present and enjoy themselves, which says a great deal about the work happening behind the scenes. I would happily work with Ashley and First Pick Planning again and would absolutely recommend her to couples looking for a thoughtful, experienced, and genuinely lovely planner.

    We had our wedding in late June in Tahoe and Ashley was a huge reason why the entire weekend was so…read moreamazing. We booked her about a year and a half before the wedding, and she helped us with everything along the way - vendor recommendations and calls, monthly to-do lists, in-person meetings, and an incredibly detailed timeline that made the actual day run so smoothly. She also went above and beyond in so many ways, from bringing wedding items up to Tahoe for us when our car was completely full, to folding our napkins and menus, helping with setup, and coordinating everyone on the wedding day (not the easiest group to coordinate). Anytime something stressful came up during the planning process, she immediately made us feel like everything would be fine and she had it handled. We're so glad we chose Ashley and truly had the best wedding weekend. I would recommend her in a second!

My wife…read moreand I were comfortable with finding our own venue & vendors and figuring out the theming & decor. In the months leading up to the wedding, Naomi was happy to be available for quick email consults, such as reviewing the invites. Naomi was absolutely invaluable the month of the wedding. She covered all the little details we would have forgotten about or didn't have time to worry about. She coordinated with our vendors to make sure they had their roles down. She provided good feedback and had a very detailed itinerary for how the wedding should progress. The day of Naomi and her assistants put out more fires than we could ever know about. My officiant was very impressed and said Naomi keeping things on time was unheard of for our type of wedding given how many moving pieces we had and the number of guests.

I…read moreactually found her through a referral from another vendor who wasn't available for my wedding date and I'm glad that happened because I could not have picked a better events team to bring our vision to life. Naomi is deeply experienced and clearly has a lot of great contacts in the industry since she worked with a few of my chosen vendors in the past, so I knew things would go smooth. My husband and I are relatively hands-on when it comes to things, but it's a different story when you want to just enjoy your own wedding and Naomi made that possible. We were in absolutely good hands, especially because she is so detail oriented down to the minute and typos, and won't let things fly until they are confirmed. Plus our wedding was more unique in that it had lot of moving pieces plus a very short set up time. But you wouldn't have been able to tell as a guest because everyone thought it worked perfectly. I appreciate all of Naomi's recommendations, attention to detail and just being fantastic to work with. For any of my single friends out there, I'm 100% recommending her if you ever have a wedding!

It was our first (and only) tour of a venue and Christina was the first planner we met; almost immediately we knew our search for a venue and planner was done. Christina was so sweet and eager to make our day special even before she knew we planned to hire her. We booked Christina for her "month-of" services but when I had questions months before the wedding, she didn't hesitate to help. Though my husband may disagree, I like to think I was a chill bride but even the chillest of brides has a planner full of questions from how to get elderly guests to a faraway bathroom to how much water I needed to buy for a hot-summer wedding. Christina promptly answered every question and every time I spoke with her I felt like planning a wedding wouldn't kill me after all. She had so many cost-saving tips that helped us have a gorgeous, budget-friendly wedding our friends and family are still talking about. On the day of, we didn't have to worry about a thing and Christina and her team ran their operation like seasoned pros. They are professional and fun!

I…read morepersonally never hired an event planner but after having few parties that required lots of work on my part, I decided to give it try. After only one meeting with Gia, during which we discussed my ideas, budget, my likes and dislikes, Gia presented me with an extraordinary plan. Gia took care of EVERYTHING!! From invitations, flower arrangements, menus, catering, music and DJ, goodie bags to thank you notes afterwords. I am pretty sure she would have arrange for my dress as well but somethings (size) I'm not willing to share!:-) Therefore to Gia: I wanted to say THANK YOU for an absolutely fabulous experience with the Time to Wine Down event. It was fantastic and memorable from start to finish. Your attention to detail is impeccable and your thoughtfulness exclusive. Great Job!!! And to all....can't wait to hire Gia again.

I thought most of our wedding 'to-dos' were completed, but Giovanna quickly jumped in and filled in any missing details. She was responsive, attentive, flexible, and had a calm, easygoing demeanor throughout the entire process. She made sure we were staying on top of everything in the final weeks leading up to our wedding. We felt prepared and stress free after each time we met. Giovanna and her team helped to make our wedding day so special! Her attention to detail and aesthetics on the day of our wedding surpassed our expectations. We loved the way everything turned out and the day went flawlessly! They even made sure we had time to sit down and enjoy our dinner! They arrived early for set up and were the last to leave. Having Giovanna and Jessica coordinating the day allowed us to truly soak in every second of it and we (and our guests) had so much fun! We cannot stress enough how much we appreciate all of Giovanna's hard work! If you are debating about having a coordinator, I highly recommend Gia Events! There are so many little things that need to get done in the weeks prior/day of the wedding, but Giovanna made the process so easy and it was the best feeling being in the moment during our wedding instead of sweating the small stuff! We could not be more thankful and happy working you Giovanna! You are the BEST!
