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. We are so grateful for everything they did to make our wedding day so seamless and special!

I've had the pleasure of working with Melissa from I Do Weddings and Events on several weddings,…read moreand every single time I find myself thinking, "This bride is so lucky to have Melissa!" She is incredibly professional, organized, kind, and truly one of the sweetest wedding planners I've ever worked with. She has such a calm, warm presence, which makes such a difference on a wedding day--not only for the couple and their families, but for all of us vendors working behind the scenes. Melissa works frequently at The Scripps Seaside Forum in La Jolla, and she knows this beautiful venue inside and out. Her experience there really shows in how smoothly everything comes together. I also have to mention her vendor recommendations. Everyone she brings onto her team is wonderful--professional, talented, and simply the best at what they do. As a wedding photographer, it is always such a pleasure to work alongside Melissa because I know the day will be beautifully organized and the couple will be very well taken care of. I highly recommend Melissa and I Do Weddings and Events to any couple looking for an experienced, caring, and genuinely wonderful wedding planner. She is an absolute gem!

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.

We worked with Sarah primarily and everything felt so seamless from start to finish. She was on top of every detail and available to answer any of our emails with our many questions throughout the process. She guided us through many meetings with our vendors and with our venue. I was so much more relaxed the day of the wedding than I thought I would be, solely because of how detail oriented and organized Sarah was. I had full trust and faith that everything would go as smoothly as possible because of her. I truly cannot imagine having done our wedding without them!

As we…read morestarted our wedding planning process, we wanted to explore how a planner could help us, even as someone who already handles corporate events. I'm so glad we found Willmus Weddings! Heather was wonderful from our very first call, and we appreciated having the flexibility to choose between partial or full planning. During our first in-person meeting, she helped us identify what mattered most in selecting our venue. We ultimately chose partial planning based on our venue, Kijamii Overlook at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, and she found us incredible vendors to complete our day. As we got closer to the wedding, I couldn't have imagined how grateful I would be to have Heather to rely on. She kept us on track with every little detail and was always ready with a thoughtful opinion whenever we had questions. On the day of our wedding, Heather and Ava were absolutely fantastic! I was able to trust them completely to set up our decorations exactly as I had envisioned, while we enjoyed getting ready and sharing our first look. Throughout the reception, Heather made sure we actually got to eat, including trying our appetizers and sitting down to enjoy our dinner.

What an incredible experience it was working with Heather, Christophe, Ajji, and their day-of team!…read moreHeather helped us pull off an incredible wedding (~120 people) on a very short (3-month) timeline for a venue that required a lot of hands-on coordination. She recommended amazing vendors (Rudy's Tacos, North Coastal Floral, and Party People DJ) and streamlined communication so everything came together seamlessly. Heather and Ajji worked with a high level of attention to detail to get everything set up, which allowed us to truly relax and soak in the entire wedding weekend, from the rehearsal through the big day. Everything ran smoothly, and Ajji handled all the moving parts behind the scenes. Christophe is an incredible photographer and made us feel completely at ease throughout the day. He captured everything perfectly and was an absolute pleasure to work with. Overall, we couldn't have asked for a better team to bring our wedding to life. If you're looking for a group that is organized, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in making your day special, we can't recommend them highly enough!

That sense of calm was so helpful, especially in a moment where everything can feel overwhelming. Thank you Korie for making my day so much better, you were the cherry on top! What stood out most was how detailed she was and how confidently she knew exactly what she was doing. She had a clear plan, handled everything smoothly, and always knew what needed to happen next to keep the day running effortlessly. Most importantly, she knew our venue very well, had many years of experiences working at Paradise Point so everything was just so fluid. Even though there were small hiccups here and there, Korie knew how to solve it without having to bother me. Thank you for making sure I felt at peace on my wedding day. I would highly recommend Korie to anyone looking for a coordinator who goes out of her way to make sure all of your needs are taken care of. She made a huge difference and helped make our wedding day feel stress-free and well organized. Before my wedding, I interviewed a number of people and Korie stood out the most to me. I love that she is always so energetic and lively, I need that kind of person around me. Always nearby to make sure I was taken care of with whatever I needed. Thank you Korie for giving me a magical experience the past weekend, I can't thank you enough! :)

A simple review can't adequately express how outstanding Kylie is!…read more My now husband and I decided that we did not want to have a long engagement, and that we wanted to plan our wedding in 6 months. We knew it was a crazy choice with how overwhelming wedding planning is nowadays, and honestly questioned whether it would even be possible. When we first met with Kylie, I was overwhelmed and feeling embarrassed in how behind I already felt in the process. Every time we met with Kylie, she made us feel so much better, never was judgmental for how much planning progress we had/had not made, and always made things feel possible and attainable. Throughout the process, Kylie was incredibly communicative. She was always willing to hop on a quick call or Zoom meeting, and was constantly responding to all our silly questions via text or email with lightning speed. Beyond this, we also deeply appreciated how willing Kylie was to give her thoughts/opinions, even if they differed from ours. I can imagine it's a difficult line to walk because weddings are so personal, but I was always so thankful when she would give her two cents because she was the expert and I truly didn't know anything! We didn't think our experience could get better, but it did on our wedding day. I am the most type A person there is, and anyone who knows me knows that I should have been absolutely freaking out the whole day. In reality, I have never been more calm, as I genuinely felt like everything had been 110% taken care of (and it was!). Throughout the day, countless family members and guests came up to me to compliment Kylie's attentiveness, preparedness, and thoughtfulness. It was so obvious to everyone who came in contact with her that day. We honestly feel as though Kylie is a friend of ours now, not just someone who made our day the very best it could be. Thank you Kylie and Sweet Blossom!!!!

Julie Castro was our event coordinator, and she is a true professional who knows her stuff. She is very responsive to inquiries, and is very flexible with all the changes and challenges that arise for throwing a large party. She is kind and cares about her clients and helping them bring their vision to life. We appreciate all her efforts in making our event a phenomenal success. It was an amazing and fun party! We had shrimp ceviche and chicken empanadas as well as fruits, veggies, dips and crackers for appetizers. These were a huge hit with all our guests. For main entrees we had chicken and pot roast with twice baked potatoes, grilled veggies and oriental salad along with rolls and butter. The meats were so scrumptious and tender. We had an abundance of compliments from our guests on how fabulous the food tasted. The staff working our event under the leadership of Danny was superb. They handled all our requests promptly and with the utmost professionalism. For a company that came in at the lower end when pricing caterers, the quality of the service and products they deliver are on par with high end caterers. We loved the food and service provided by Ranch Events. In fact, they catered two of my other cousins events prior, so they came highly recommended to us. They delivered beyond what we could have asked or imagined. Don't delay, book with Ranch Events today.

I asked a friend who is a chef and she said she used to work for Wild Thyme, I spoke to Sophie in the office and she quickly suggested a lunch menu of salads and sandwiches with cake and macarons for dessert. I asked to make changes and it was not a problem. She coordinated delivery of tables, chairs, and umbrellas on Friday. The catering team of Sasha and Sam arrived at 10:30 Sunday for 1 pm start. They used the garage as a staging area, Then they put out the tablecloths and paused so I could add the wreath centerpiece then put in the umbrellas. The buffet tables for, lunch, beverage station, and dessert were lined up and decorated along the side of the yard. They wrapped black tablecloths around our trash and recycling cans and bused the tables. We had coolers with beer and sodas but judging by the leftovers we could have gotten by with their tea and lemonade. This was like having a restaurant in the backyard. It is expensive but top quality and eliminates a lot of worry. I would do it again.
