Like all weddings, we had a few hiccups that day, but I did not notice one of them. To my husband and I, our wedding day was perfect. I especially loved that she took my pile of decor ideas and set them up beautifully at the reception! If you are looking for friendly, professional, get it done coordinator, look no further! Sincerely, A Happy Bride

From the first meeting, my fiance and I immediately took a liking to Kelly. She was professional,…read moreexperienced, friendly and confident that she knows how to get vendors to get their act together if there were any problems. We were doing a number of slightly unconventional twists to our wedding and thus were disregarding numerous traditions. Kelly was very enthusiastic about helping us with determining how to integrate nontraditional ideas we had while at the same time, letting us know gently when we shouldn't be messing with certain traditions for the sake of our guests. We purchased the two-day package (rehearsal dinner and day of). She was always punctual, had a smile on her face, but also firm whenever necessary to keep things moving along. A little story of um, irregularity at my wedding (yes, I realized afterwards that I should have probably brought my wedding ring to the ceremony). Kelly came through as the calming presence for everyone and immediately made the correct judgment call to use a substitute ring from my Best Man. I would have had my sister rush back to the hotel for the ring and delayed the start of the ceremony at least another 30 mins which could have been disastrous as it would have impacted all of the remaining schedule and cost us hundreds more in photographer and videographer OT fees. After the wedding, I kept hearing from our guests about all the little things Kelly did throughout the night like personally filling water glasses, reattaching my wife's wedding dress train thingy during the dancing and many more. As a typical guy, I despise the wedding industry and think there is a ridiculous 30% markup for anything just because it has the word "wedding" attached. However, Kelly's coordination service was a wedding service that I would have gladly paid 50% more than I paid.

Absolutely LOVED working with Karleigh and Glynn for my wedding. Highly recommend - they are my…read morego-to planners! We originally hired them for our March 2020 wedding. They were extremely communicative and outlined a great timeline for planning. They were always a text or call away for even the smallest question. Their knowledge was far beyond what I got from googling or asking around. They attended venue meetings and coordinated with the on-site coordinator without any prompting. It made my life so much easier. Once Covid hit, we had to cancel our wedding and they were extremely understanding even though their business was also being affected. Come 2022, we re-connected to have them help coordinate our reception do-over. They were, yet again, amazing to work with. On the day of, they had things done before I even thought of them and truly made my day just enjoyable. They thought of the little things and the big things for the event to go off without a hitch. I had so many compliments on the flow of the event and I credit those two for making it happen. Thank you to Karl and Glynn for being so incredible at what they do. Hire them for your next event - you will only be thankful and appreciative!!

Karleigh and Glynn were one of the best decisions we made, and we could not have been more…read moreimpressed by the two of them! Initially I had looked into wedding planners that typically did Middle Eastern weddings to make sure everything went smoothly, but everyone I was finding seemed to copy and paste the same 4/5 styles, and I wanted something much more unique. That's where Karleigh and Glynn just made me fall in love with their ideas, and they were so excited to learn about our culture and asked so many questions, we knew it was the right decision. We did the full planning service even though we had a lot of details down on our own, but we wanted to make sure that Karleigh and Glynn were informed every step of the way. There were so many things I would have never thought about that they made sure to check in about while planning, and then once we had everything planned they had a timeline broke down to the minute I swear. It was so relieving knowing from the moment we got to the venue Glynn and Karleigh were not just on top of everything, but had such good relationships with everyone it just put everyone in our family at ease. K&G really gave me such a unique wedding we will never forget.

We found Ryan on The Knot and are so grateful we did! We hired her for the entire process and could…read morenot have been happier with the result. Not being from San Diego ourselves, Ryan was extremely helpful in finding the best vendors for us within our price range. It ended up being a two year process due to the wait time for the venue we chose, but that never fazed Ryan. She was always quick to respond to our messages in a kind and professional manner, answering our seemingly never-ending questions with her never-ending patience. Ryan's spreadsheets and payment reminders were also incredibly helpful to staying organized and on top of everything. Ryan has an in-depth knowledge of the wedding industry and provided us with a multitude of creative ideas while still keeping our vision in mind. While we had a general idea of what we wanted, Ryan really helped fine tune it and turn our dream into reality. It ended up being even more spectacular than we could have ever imagined! Ryan thought of all the little details to pull the whole event together into a gorgeous, tropical paradise. On the wedding day, all we had to do was enjoy! Ryan took care of everything from coordinating with other vendors to arranging seats and decor. She scheduled our wedding day so we could have fun without feeling rushed -- we actually had time to eat and enjoy cocktail hour with our guests! It was the perfect day and we can't thank Ryan enough for ensuring we had the best of the best. (:

We had an amazing wedding thanks to Linnie from A Hundred Hearts and we couldn't be more happy. We…read morewere totally lost with all the things that go into planning a wedding but Linnie patiently guided us through all of it. I think she really went above and beyond even what we paid for and I really appreciate her for that. Despite all the stress that can come out of the planning and the pressure of the actual event itself, Linnie was a huge source of peace of mind for my wife and I. I would recommend her to all soon to be married couples planning a wedding, from the couples that don't know where to even start, to the couples that know exactly what they want.

We're so happy that we picked Linnie of A Hundred Hearts to be our wedding coordinator! All…read morethroughout the process, Linnie was very responsive and organized. She is clearly very experienced in wedding coordination with thoughtful guiding questions, expert advice, and great connections. She is a joy and very pleasant to work with, while making sure to keep everyone on task and your drink of choice in your hand on your wedding day (if you partake). Linnie was our coordinator in June 2024 at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park - Kijamii Overlook. We selected the "day-of coordination" package, but Linnie's service was so much more than just the one day, as others have mentioned. In addition to coordinating on the day of the wedding, the service came with an initial planning meeting, monthly e-mail check-ins & advice on questions, a month-of meeting, regular e-mail exchanges the month-of, a rehearsal run through, and decor set-up & breakdown support. Working with her comes with a very thorough checklist and a website of resources. She also makes your detailed timeline, day-of task list, and checks in with all vendors the week of your wedding, and more. She has even more comprehensive packages where she does even more! On top of all that, her pricing was competitive compared to others in the area, especially for getting such an incredible service. If you do select her, tip her well if you can since her work is worth every penny. I believe that our wedding was as smooth as it was because of Linnie's support. I highly recommend Linnie and A Hundred Hearts!

If I could give Sheila 5 million starts I would…read more Sheila was amazing to work with and so personable. 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.

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.

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.
