I hired Heather for my destination wedding out in Ventura California. BEST DECISION I HAVE MADE FOR…read moreMY WEDDING. She got all my vendors lined up (all I had to do was pay), she gave me more than what I could ask for esthetically, she is not only an amazing planner, but an amazing human being. If you're wanting a wedding planner that knows her thing, its her. She helped me all the way from Oklahoma. Thank you Heather, Three Sisters Team, and her in-house florist Courtney. You made my wedding everything I wanted and more.

Disappointing experience with full-service wedding planning:…read more We hired Heather at Three Sisters Events for the "Whole Shebang" full-service wedding planning package and terminated our agreement after over seven months. It was nowhere near what we expected or what was advertised. I was the bride and Heather's primary point of contact, so most communication went through me. My husband was involved behind the scenes. I kept him updated, we discussed concerns together, and both agreed to move on. To be fair, Heather was responsive when we reached out, especially by text. But that was also the problem. We were almost always initiating conversations, asking for updates, and following up. At one point, I intentionally stopped initiating contact for over a month to see if she would take the lead. Nothing changed. Our package advertised monthly meetings, design assistance, budgeting, vendor coordination, guest accommodations, and stationery support. In seven months, we had only TWO planning meetings. Other services never happened or required repeated prompting. We raised our concerns multiple times. Heather would say things like "trust the professional," "enjoy the process," or explain that she adapted her approach to each couple. We wanted to trust her and enjoy being engaged, but kept wondering what was being handled. Things might improve briefly, but we'd end up right back where we started. The budgeting was especially frustrating. Instead of helping us understand what was realistic for our guest count, rentals, and vision, Heather put together numbers that seemed to fit on paper. Once actual vendor quotes came in, we realized how far off they were. Our new planner finally gave us a realistic picture of the costs. We weren't expecting someone to magically make everything cheaper. We needed experienced guidance to make informed decisions. Design was another huge disappointment. The mockups were basic, and our new planner discovered that the table sizes and quantities in Heather's reception layout didn't actually fit the venue space. That's the kind of thing I expected a professional wedding planner to know. We researched rentals and layouts without the guidance we paid for. Looking back, those seven months were incredibly stressful. We hired a full-service planner to help manage things we didn't know how to handle ourselves. We wanted to be involved in planning our wedding, not responsible for managing the person we'd hired to plan it. That wasn't what we expected from the highest-tier package. Eventually, we hired another planner just months before our wedding. Yes, it meant losing our deposit and paying someone else, but the difference was night and day. Our new planner took ownership, used structured planning tools to keep us organized and involved, communicated proactively, helped us make realistic decisions, and brought our design vision together. For the first time, we actually felt like we could enjoy the process. After switching, we requested a partial refund of $900 from the $1,836 deposit we paid, considering the services we felt we hadn't received. Heather never responded. I hesitated to write this and waited until after our wedding so I could reflect rather than react out of frustration. There's more I could share, but Google reviews have limits! I wish we'd understood what to expect before hiring Three Sisters Events. Heather may be a better fit for coordinating a wedding you've mostly planned yourself. But if you need true full-service planning, I'd strongly encourage you to ask exactly what that support includes. We genuinely wish we'd switched sooner. Our wedding was everything we dreamed of, but that success came after the difficult and costly decision to replace a planner who wasn't delivering the support we needed. We found someone who actually delivered on the promises of full-service planning. Based on our experience, we would not recommend Heather or Three Sisters Events for full-service wedding planning.

I contacted several event rental companies to provide chairs, tables and linens for a baby shower…read moreto be held in a park just down the street from us in Ventura. Cheers Event Rentals was very responsive to my inquiry and their prices were very competitive. The shower was only going to have about 35 people so it was a pretty small party and yet Cheers was very accommodating to our needs. Talking to Jessica on the phone was reassuring that all of the items were going to be delivered without any problems. Cheers came up with a great idea of delivering everything to the park in their trailer on Saturday morning so we could unload and then leaving the trailer so that we could load the chairs, tables and linens back into the trailer for them to pick up later. Since our event was small, all the other vendors were going to delivery the items to my house on Friday and pick up on Monday. This really saved us the trouble and time to move everything to and from our house on the day of the shower. We met Jessica at the park in the morning and everything worked out great with the convenience of having their trailer right there when we were done. Working with Jessica and Cheers Events was a very good experience and I would suggest contacting them if you are in need to rent items for your event. Our experience with Cheers was great and I'm sure yours will be too!!

Simple, natural, fun, and stress free. Savannah gave me GREAT recommendations and a timeline along the way. She was also my florist and got all my invitations sent out for me! They made sure the day of the wedding was easy and neither my family nor I had to worry about setting up or cleaning up. Just the time, energy, and stress that I saved by booking with Simply S Events was worth the cost. It meant I was able to enjoy my family and guests the days leading up to the wedding instead or finalizing last minute things which Savannah was able to do for me. Not to mention Savannah and Dan are just the sweetest people and I walked away feeling like the genuinely cared about my husband and I.

Thanks for them we were fully in the moment and joyful as everything went even better than dreamed of. I hired Simply S as a Day of Coordinator but she went on to do the flowers, create decor and thrill my mom (and I) with how easily the day ran. Before the wedding Savannah met with me several times to tour the venue, meet with our caterer, talk specifics and create a day of schedule. At each meeting I shed my stress and worry and left feeling excited and relieved. Savannah is extremely creative and Dan is super hands on. This lovely combo led us to have: a donut peg board, table numbers that were actually songs handwritten on dark stained pieces of wood (allllll done by Savannah), an original light sculpture featuring floating flowers in a dry fountain in our venue. My mom cannot stop talking about how amazing Savannah was/is and I cannot agree more. She ran our wedding with assurance and ease. She let everyone know that she was working so no else needed to. Having her was THE BEST DECISION. Please treat your future self and book her now. There are so many things that happen on your wedding day, you want to enjoy the fun ones and not even know about the other details (setting up plates for unexpected guests, passing out tips, picking up cakes, dealing with gifts). Savannah gave us our dream wedding day and then some.

My…read morehusband and I came to Beachside Memories since our original wedding plans on the east coast changed. Upon initial conversations with Tina, I knew it would be a great fit. While the process moved on after the initial planing phases, things just got easier. Her preparation and attention to detail was out of this world, every question I had, she answered quicker than I could get the question out. The actual wedding day was seamless. Might be weird to say, but I did not have a single worry that entire day. I could not have asked for anything more. Outside of the beach aspect of the wedding, Tina also facilitated in onsite management at the reception with a new venue in Ventura. She handled every logistic possible, onsite meetings and even kept a surprise my mom and husband had for me at the reception. 10/10 experience working with her. I cannot forget to mention those that work with her, they are wonderful. From Paul Mark the photographer, Tino the sound coordinator, her assistant Jennifer, her friend Mark that was able to assist in transportation, and anyone that I missed; I cannot thank you all enough.

We first spoke to Katie for an initial call and she was really knowledgable and friendly that I was sad to hear we would be working with another coordinator, but Emily happily jumped on a call to ease any worries I may have had. We went with the Month of Coordination service which allowed us to do most of the planning ourselves (most of our vendors were locked in early on, but MB provides a lovely list of vendors they've worked with in case it's needed). Emily had us fill out a very detailed questionnaire (you can tell they know what they're doing with the questions being asked) and went over every detail with us, including areas we were still figuring out. She was available for any questions I had as well leading up to the day, made sure to reach out to all of our vendors with the master timeline, and even provided some guidance for my cousin that was officiating for the first time. A big bonus is how many weddings they've coordinated at Walnut Grove that they're very familiar with the venue and the folks from Command Performance Catering. Emily led us through rehearsal the day before and made sure the actual wedding day went smoothly. She made it possible for us to focus on enjoying the day with our friends and family, but still keep on schedule with her gentle reminders.

We held our wedding at Walnut Grove and it was clear that Emily knew what she was doing, especially at that venue! I am definitely a more anxious bride and had many questions, emails, texts. Emily responded to each one with so much grace and expertise. Wedding planning can be isolating at times because there is so much to do - but I really felt like I had a partner in Emily. She was so responsive and enthusiastic! Her excitement and calm attitude carried me in moments I wanted to give up wedding planning altogether. On our wedding rehearsal - our bridal parties all remarked at how pleasant yet professional Emily was. She really made sure everyone knew what they were doing. Which was especially difficult because we had a bridal party of about 20+ people! On the day of the wedding, we had very strong winds (at an all outdoor venue) and I was blissfully unaware of the chaos occuring. But Emily and her assistant Katie handled the situation so well. Whenever Emily checked in with me regarding things that were not going to plan, she had so much confidence and peace that it was easy for me to make quick decisions. I can really say I was present throughout the wedding, and focused on getting married! Everything else, Emily handled so beautifully. I am forever grateful to Emily and Mia Bella Weddings and you will not regret having them on your vendor team!

We had an absolutely incredible experience working with White Sage. From our very first meeting…read morewith our planner, Jen, we knew we were in the best possible hands. Her calm, grounded energy, professionalism, and thoughtful organization immediately put us at ease. Throughout the planning process, Jen was consistently responsive, thorough, and proactive. The regular check-ins helped us feel prepared at every stage, and we always ended our calls feeling reassured, excited, and more confident about the journey ahead. As the wedding weekend approached, we were blown away by how seamlessly everything came together. Jen, Brooke, and Megan were an absolute dream team. They took care of every detail--from large vendor coordination and rental setup to the smallest personal touches that made the weekend feel uniquely ours. We were especially impressed when unexpected weather forced a last-minute dinner location change. The White Sage team handled it flawlessly, and the transition was so smooth that our guests had no idea it hadn't been part of the original plan. Jen's attention to detail, calm presence, and ability to stay composed under pressure truly set her apart. We not only felt supported by her expertise but genuinely enjoyed every conversation we had with her. We'll actually miss our planning calls--she made the process feel collaborative, grounded, and even fun. Thanks to White Sage, we were able to fully relax and be present the entire weekend, knowing that everything was being expertly handled. So many of our guests told us it was the best wedding they'd ever attended--and we agree! We cannot recommend White Sage highly enough. If you're looking for a team that will not only bring your vision to life but make the experience enjoyable and stress-free, this is it.

We were referred to Sophie from a family friend in the Ventura wedding business community and we are so glad we decided to work with her and her team. From initial meetings to the big day, the ADE team showed up in all the ways we needed them through both the fun and stressful moments of wedding planning. Our wedding day was more wonderful than we ever could have imagined and it would not have been possible without Sophie and the ADE team! A few things that stood out. Sophie coached us through some challenges with a venue we had contracted with before we started working with ADE that fell through. It was perhaps the most stressful part of all our planning and we were so appreciative of all the guidance and suggestions. Sophie recommended some wonderful vendors to us - many of which we ended up hiring and being so pleased with! We got married at Taft Gardens which is an incredibly beautiful venue but doesn't have parking, bathrooms, a kitchen, lighting, tables, chairs, ... anything really :) . Sophie and team embraced the challenge of working at a remote/new venue! How Sophie, Xochilt and team showed up on our wedding weekend was the best part of all. From our rehearsal on Friday, Sophie so clearly established that any questions, issues, concerns would be handled by her and encouraged everyone to let my husband and I just enjoy ourselves and soak it all in. The ADE team made the wedding day feel so effortless and so stress-free for me and my husband, even though there were little things that came up that they had to pivot to accommodate. Our family and friends all loved Sophie and the ADE team and how they showed up for us on our biggest weekend. 10/10 recommend working with Sophie and ADE! Some pics by @wearemattandjess

The whole thing was beautiful and went seamlessly, even my family and wedding party agreed! Everything was so organized, and I appreciated their responsiveness and diligence throughout the process. I loved working with them so much, I recommended Sophie to my cousin who is getting married this year and am so exited to attend her wedding because I know it will also be Amazing!

I can't imagine my wedding day without Katherine. From my first conversation with her, she gave me…read morethe feeling that she was on my side and not the venue or other vendors. Her ideas and recommendations were great and agreed with her on most of them. She is very punctual and trustworthy. I can not say enough good things about her service and dedication to us. I would recommend her to any of my family and friends. On the day of my wedding, she sent me texts...updating me on vendors and issues that came up but when she sent me these issues, she included options of ways that they can be fixed for me to chose. When my wife arrived, she catered to us and throughout reception constantly came up to us to ask if we needed anything. At the end of the night, she assisted carrying items to my brothers car IN THE RAIN! If I wasn't helping my wife out with her dress, I would have ran out there with her....she is simply amazing. THANK YOU KATHERINE! Much respect, Mike

I could write volumes about how helpful Katherine was for my recent wedding, but I'll try to keep…read moreit somewhat concise! From the very first phone call, I felt completely comfortable and assured that she would be the right fit for my then-Fiance and I. This was further cemented when we had our walk-through with her at our venues a month before the big day, and all of my wedding jitters were calmed (as they were many times again in the future!). I'll give you a little background on my Husband and I - just so that you understand how accommodating and wondrous Katherine was. Many brides care about the details, but as a graphic designer & photographer, details are my middle name! I had quite an extensive list of to-do's and wanted things to look a certain way - so it was always my concern whether or not I would find THE person who could make that vision come true. On the other hand, my Fiance (like many grooms) was easy going and didn't even think about decorations. Regardless of our personal styles, Katherine was the best thing we decided on for our wedding day! She helped make our vision come true - and wowed my Husband, our families, and of course myself in the process. She not only managed the decorations but also kept track of vendor's schedules, oversaw final payments, organized the ceremony & reception setup and breakdown, and even fixed my unruly hair at the end of the night. She can do it all! The wedding day brought its hiccups (it happens!) but Katherine helped us make the best decisions to make it run smoothly. Our reception site served dinner incredibly late - which meant that our vendors were fed even later. Somehow even with this annoying setback, Katherine continued to work through the evening (with hardly any food people!) and we thank her tremendously for it. It almost goes without saying (but I have to) that we highly recommend working with Katherine - she will make your day even more special! We only wish that we could work with her all over again! :)

We found Tiana through an IG ad, where she promoted Exotic Green Garden along with an all-inclusive wedding package at Lake Lindero Golf Course. The Exotic Green Garden IG page looked beautiful, and the package was within our budget, so we decided to reach out to learn more. Upon meeting Tiana, she was super friendly and honest about the costs, what can be personalized, and was patient in answering our many questions. We left the meeting feeling like we made a new friend, but still wanted to explore other options as she was the very first vendor we met in our wedding planning journey. After a week or so of reaching out to other florists, we decided that nobody could beat what Tiana offered, and her lovely personality was a huge plus. It was an easy decision to book Tiana as our florist, coordinator, and the wedding package for our wedding on October 4th, 2025 at Lake Lindero Golf Course. Leading up to our wedding, Tiana was very communicative with us every step of the way. It was so easy to reach her and hear back in a timely manner, whether it was through email, text, or a phone call. She was always ready to address our questions and concerns, and put our mind at ease. She even gave us suggestions on how to save money with our florals, which we truly appreciated. In addition to Tiana, we also worked with Adena (her sister) and Lance (her father and our officiant). We met Lance via FaceTime a few months before so he could learn about us, and he was so kind and funny that we knew he'd do a wonderful job making our ceremony go smoothly. He even had an additional call with us and sent reminder texts to make sure we were aware of what's needed for the day. We met Adena at our wedding rehearsal, where we learned she would be our day of coordinator instead. We were a little surprised since we thought Tiana would do this. But Adena re-assured us that she was familiar with the schedule and during the rehearsal, we were relieved to see how personable she was, and her professionalism matched that of Tiana and Lance, and we knew we were in good hands. On our wedding day, we received so many compliments from our guests on how much they loved the florals. We didn't see Tiana on our wedding day, but definitely felt how much love and care she put into them as they turned out beautiful, like exact replicas of our Pinterest photos. Several of our guests even snuck some away, which we didn't know till the end of the night lol! Our guests also praised Lance on how he conducted our ceremony and made it feel personable to us. Throughout the wedding, Adena constantly checked in on us to make sure we were hydrated, feeling ok, and keeping us informed about the schedule. She even jumped in to help cut a roast pig, which we did not expect her to do as we were expecting a specific guest to do it (who ended up not attending). We loved that Adena was so on top of everything the whole evening, while having a smile the whole time. We still reminisce about our wedding day, and how wonderful it was thanks to Tiana, Adena, and Lance. Even though it's been a few months, our guests still mention how lovely our wedding was, which makes us so happy to know that we chose a fantastic team. We highly recommend Tiana and her family/team for your wedding or special event. Thank you Tiana, Adena, and Lance for making our day feel extra special!!!
