We planned our multiday, multicultural wedding (Indian and Persian) with Nahid over the course of…read more16 months and it couldn't have been done without her! Wedding planning is exhausting and stressful and the wedding planner becomes a vital and intimate part of the process especially over a long planning period. It's extremely important to find someone who cares, advises, listens, is experienced and most importantly is available, and Nahid is just that. Nahid was excellent, caring and well organized and helped us with every detail from securing our venues till the moment we left the day after our wedding. She communicated with us frequently throughout the process understanding our vision, helping coordinate and advise, and at times keeping us calm! She is well versed in multicultural weddings and is patient with managing the expectations of family members as well. It felt like we had her on speed dial closer to the wedding! During the wedding planning stages, Nahid provided valuable insight negotiating, securing and reviewing venue contracts. With so many moving parts in our wedding, it was extremely helpful that she would find suitable and reliable vendors for us to pick from. Closer to the wedding, she came for site visits and was not afraid to provide her insight while respecting our vision. During the actual wedding festivities, her team worked incredibly hard to keep everything coordinated and running smoothly so we could enjoy our wedding weekend. She was able to manage any issues that came up with vendors or sites directly and smoothly so we wouldn't have to worry. We couldn't have been happier with the experience we had with Nahid and her team and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a great wedding planner!

Nahid was truly a one stop shop for everything we needed in the 12 months it took to plan our…read morewedding. Nahid provided such a calming presence at all times, ensuring me that she was always one step ahead of me. Before I could even express concern about something that I was not sure that we had started, she would let me know that she had already begun the process and not to worry. Communication is key when it comes to planning any event, and Nahid made it a priority to answer my calls, my texts, and if she couldn't in that moment, she made sure to make arrangements to follow up with me at her earliest convenience. On the day of the wedding, Nahid and her team were on the floor before the first vendors arrived and until the last vendor left. I couldn't be more grateful for Nahid and her team, and hopefully we will be working on future events together!

Gina was my planner for our May 2026 wedding at Rancho Bernardo Inn, and she did an absolutely…read morefabulous job. From the very beginning, working with Gina gave me complete confidence that every question would be answered and every detail would be handled. On the wedding day itself, I never had to worry about a thing because I knew she had everything under control. Her strong working relationship with RBI was incredibly valuable throughout the planning process and made everything feel seamless. Since I'm not local to the San Diego area and didn't always have a clear vision of exactly what I wanted, Gina's recommendations and guidance were invaluable. Anytime I needed vendor suggestions, she immediately sent thoughtful recommendations, and whenever I wanted to dive deeper into details, she made it happen. We met in person multiple times leading up to the wedding weekend, and she helped bring all of the details together so beautifully. She was always available to answer texts or calls, which made the entire process feel so much less stressful. I really appreciated how Gina truly followed my lead and helped execute the vision we wanted. By the time the wedding weekend arrived, I didn't have to think twice about anything -- it all came together so perfectly, and it truly was the most wonderful weekend. I'm so grateful for everything Gina did to make our wedding such a special experience.

Gina is such a warm and confident person, with deep connections across the SD wedding industry, which is exactly the kind of energy and expertise you want surrounding you on your wedding day. I can't recommend her enough - having Gina as your planner is a wedding decision you will NOT regret! We heart you, Gina!

How can we begin to say enough about our wedding planner, now turned lifelong friend, Susanne…read moreDuffy? Susanne and the Crown Weddings & Events team created the most wondrous and spectacular wedding we could imagine. EVERYONE we talk to tells us it was unlike anything else they have ever seen. Susanne is not only incredibly artistic and visionary, but she also knows how to bring a team together to get even the most complicated job done. She cares so much about people, and it shows! She works until the middle of the night, never stops thinking about the events she plans and how she can make them as special as possible for her couples, and goes far above and beyond what others would. She is generous with her time and talents. One of the most special times in our wedding-planning process was when the dress I ordered 5 months beforehand did not show up and I had just 2 weeks to find a new one. Susanne sprung into action, accompanied me to one of her favorite bridal shops, (The White Flower - Bridal Boutique), and found my new dress for me! I felt so loved and cared for. Susanne's positivity is contagious, and the team she brings in to support the event are just like her! Every single one of them was a JOY to be around. She lends enthusiasm and humor to all of her interactions. This woman is FUN to work with! One of the best parts of this event was the opportunity to have Susanne enter our lives. She is unmatched in her professional skills, and an absolute treasure as a human. She is a visionary who not only understands how to create unbelievable environments with every detail made perfect, but she is also expert at figuring out the practical requirements and at orchestrating the complicated logistical dance that is requires behind the scenes to make it all work. We l love Susanne and her team and are FOREVER grateful to them!

She was able to take our vision and make it a reality. I literally cried walking into our reception it took by breathe away.

If you want someone who will make your day everything you've ever hoped for, then you will want to work with Susanne!

Things were all ready when we got there and she checked on us a few times throughout the day to make sure if we needed anything. From things like making sure the places we neat ant tightly to making sure the vendors were taken care of and fed, it's so appreciated from our side. Pleasure to work with her and her team. We have worked with a lot of coordinators and other vendors in the past and it's always great to see people who get it and are just Team Bride & Groom. The result at the end is a event that goes really smooth for the bride and groom and that's what it's all about! Must have been extra stressful to add something the night before the wedding but glad it all work out! Thanks Sweetest Things in Life Events & Kira!

I was really disappointed and frustrated in my experience working with Kira. Around 2.5 months…read morebefore my wedding, I reached out to her but she was unresponsive to my email and calls. I was finally able to reach her two weeks later, and she asked me to send her a list of all my vendors again (even though I had already forwarded her all my vendor contracts and information before). Kira did not follow through with my vendors according to the timeline we had agreed upon, and I was uncertain as to when I would be able to get my draft timeline from her. When I expressed my concern and frustration, Kira said that since she was hired for day of, her talking to me two months prior to the wedding was a bonus that she was doing for me, and I should not expect to get a timeline until 2 weeks before the wedding. This seemed irresponsible to me, since when I booked her she had said she was free for calls and texts anytime leading up to the wedding. She said that I was unsympathetic towards personal things that came up for her. I felt like it was unprofessional for her to be telling me about personal things in her life that was causing a disruption in her ability to deliver upon her commitment as a coordinator. I ended up hiring a different coordinator who is also day-of. This coordinator said she always works with her clients 8 weeks before the wedding, creates the timeline 6 weeks beforehand, communicates with vendor 3 weeks beforehand and finalizes everything 1 week beforehand. This was exactly the kind of clarity and responsibility I wanted in a coordinator, and I am afraid that Kira did not deliver on this at all for me.

THE BEST HIRE!!!! Christine and Lavish were recommended to…read moreme by a friend at work. She said her sister was a wedding planner and created beautiful weddings. She was not wrong! I am so impressed by Christine and her team. My husband and I were engaged for over a year and Gabriela took care of us in the beginning from getting a vision board together, a color palette selected, and an overall concept/theme put together. They recommended different vendors and were realist about setting a budget. I originally found their online aisle planner website difficult and hard to navigate at first and learned to really appreciate it down the road. It wasn't that it was hard to navigate more than I didn't take the time to explore all the different features. It was a life saver for me and later turned into my wedding bible because it housed all my vendor information, payment schedules, important dates, seating chart, checklists, and more. Fast forward to the month before the wedding. Christine was amazing and set up all our final vendor meetings, etc. she made sure all the vendors talked to each other and coordinated everything with the hotel. She took care of all the vendor logistics, COI, etc. Which at the time, I didn't realize was a lot. She was crucial in selecting our decor and creating the timeline. The day of the wedding comes and Christine was there bright and early setting everything up. We had an attendant, Tiffany, assigned to the bridesmaids, another one dedicated to the groomsmen, Christine setting up in the reception hall, and later, Diana, a runner and they all were amazing! They were there the entire time of us getting ready and making sure we could connect with Christine as she handled the vendors coming in. They made sure we were taken care of, checked in, and never left. Diana was also a life saver and had my shoes ready for me to change into after all the photos. I could go on for days and never capture how much Christine and her team truly helped us. They helped set up, tear down, managed my family and guests, managed all the vendors, and handled all the melt downs. They were the absolute best hire! I am truly impressed and am forever grateful to Christine and her team. I 100% recommend Lavish & Co. for any wedding. They were truly amazing and went above and beyond, exceeded all expectations. My husband and I are not the easiest people and I know that. But, Christine and her team were so gracious and accommodating throughout the whole process. I have no complaints. Thank you Lavish for making my wedding a beautiful dream come true!

We cannot say enough great things about the Lavish Wedding Team, and especially Gabriela! From the…read moremoment we met Gabriela, it was clear that she wasn't just a wedding planner--she was someone deeply invested in making our wedding day a reflection of us as a couple. She took the time during our very first meeting to ask about our personal story--how we met, how my husband proposed, and what made our relationship unique. This was something no other planner had done, and it immediately made us feel like we were in the hands of someone who truly cared. She has become more than just a wedding planner, and is now one of our friends. Our wedding was a beautiful blend of two distinct cultures, and Lavish went above and beyond to ensure that every detail honored both of our traditions in a way that felt seamless and cohesive. Gabriela found creative ways to incorporate elements of each culture into the decor, ceremony, and reception, making our celebration not just special, but incredibly personal. Her thoughtful approach to merging these cultural elements was absolutely perfect, and we were so grateful for the care she took to ensure everything felt authentic and meaningful. On top of all that, the Lavish team was incredibly attentive to every last detail. There were a few last-minute challenges on the day of the wedding, and they handled them with such grace and professionalism that we didn't have to worry about a thing. If you're looking for a wedding planning team who will go above and beyond to make your day as special as it can be, look no further than Lavish.

What initially drew me to I Do Weddings... was her team's familiarity with San Diego wedding venues, and especially with our venue, the Scripps Seaside Forum. From our first consultation with Melissa, through every call and email, we immediately felt at ease knowing she was by our side. Melissa truly made the wedding planning process so much easier. She was incredibly responsive and always had an answer to my many questions in the months leading up to the wedding. I never felt like I was bothering her or asking too much, and knowing we had someone experienced and dependable to turn to made such a difference. On the wedding day, Melissa and her assistant coordinator, Elena, made sure everything went according to plan. My husband and I felt completely stress-free that morning because we knew Melissa and her team had everything under control. We were able to simply enjoy our day and be present in the moment, which was exactly what we wanted. I would HIGHLY recommend Melissa and her team to anyone planning a wedding.

Their calm professionalism allowed us to be fully present and enjoy every moment with our family and friends. Rachel even made a mid-dinner stain on my dress disappear as if it had never happened. And while we know they can't technically control the weather, we're still convinced they found a way to turn an 85% chance of rain into the most beautiful sunny day imaginable. We are endlessly grateful for the care, creativity and heart they brought to our wedding. It was everything we dreamed of and more, and we couldn't have imagined a better team by our side.

I showed up to our first meeting with a slide deck full of vision boards (I'm not joking). She executed my vision to PERFECTION, was so responsive and professional, and thought of all the nitty-grittiest little details to make everything come together SEAMLESSLY. My husband and I hired her to coordinate our September 2021 reception, and boy was she a life saver! We eloped a month prior to our reception, and I was able to hand over everything to Jenny before then to completely focus on enjoying this time. This included a VERY unresponsive bartending company, who - I kid you not - Jenny must have called, emailed, texted, sent smoke signals, etc. dozens of times to make sure that everything was perfect for our reception. This review is long overdue, but I cannot recommend Jenny enough! Do yourself a favor and hire her ASAP.

We planned our "destination" wedding in San Diego from Denver and it proved to be way too stressful for me to put together on my own. Sheila saved the day. From the moment I spoke with her over the phone I knew I was in good hands. Sheila made herself available by phone, text, and/or e-mail whenever I had questions, requests, or just needed some advice throughout the entire wedding planning process and I could not have imagined my big day going so smoothly without her. Sheila went above and beyond my own expectations by extending the help of her own family when I needed to drop some things off for our reception the night before. She happily put everything together exactly the way I wanted it even though I just threw almost everything cluttered in boxes. If you are looking for a highly organized, personable, and creative individual to plan your wedding, I highly recommend her services.
