Kristiana was the BEST DECISION we made for our wedding! If we could rate her 10 out of 5 stars, we…read morewould! Not only was she our Day of Coordinator, she was the captain that kept the ENTIRE wedding ship afloat during an EMERGENCY POWER OUTAGE caused by a FIRE! She knew exactly how to ensure everyone's safety and comfort in a pitch black venue. From our first call, Kristiana's compassion and organization were evident. I knew when she talked about having a bathroom and emergency kit, having a toy prepared for any upset child, and having a full blown software to help design the wedding layouts - that she was the best. Her excitement and encouragement made planning stress-free, and she consistently reassured me that we would find solutions to any challenges AND bring any vision to life. On the wedding day, Kristiana excelled and was the best person to have by my side. She managed the vendors, kept the timeline on track, and was always there when I needed her. Whether it was safety pinning the entire inner layer of my wedding gown to prevent tripping, finishing petal toss cups last minute because the caterers forgot to do it, or comforting me before the ceremony because everyone else was too excited, she was a hero. AND THEN THERE WAS THE POWER OUTAGE! A nearby fire shut down all the power in the entire area - and the venue was completely dark. I was so afraid the wedding was over an hour early after all the money and time invested into the big day. Kristiana made sure everyone was safe, communicated effectively, and kept things moving. She even moved my card box to a safe location just because there were no more lights. She truly thought of every detail. Not only that, a week and a half after the wedding, she has been proactively seeking a partial refund from my venue for me because they did not have any back up lighting for an emergency situation that put all of the guests (especially elderly) at risk. And when I found out catering did not bring GF food for my GF guests, she took it upon herself to call them to get compensation for such a costly mistake. THINGS THAT SHE DID NOT HAVE TO DO AT ALL! All this to say, Kristiana is truly an ANGEL! She is the most caring and compassionate soul and without her, I truly don't know what would have happened during the wedding. The wedding was a fairytale and I truly believe the majority of that credit goes to her. Her proactive and caring nature left a lasting impression on everyone. I cannot recommend her enough. Thank you so much Kristiana for EVERYTHING!

I could not have dreamed of a more perfect day for myself, my husband and our friends and family. I am the worst at organizing things and executing my visions, but with Tori's help the day went by stress free and beautifully. I told her what colors I wanted, my flowers of choice, and that was about it. She worked out every single detail with such care and consideration for what I might enjoy most. She coordinated catering, timing of the day, and the seating chart as well. I did not have to worry about one small detail on my wedding day. There were 22 people at my reception and ceremony, including my husband and myself. Tori managed to make it beautiful, intimate, and lively for myself and everyone who attended. I highly recommend hiring her if you want someone who will take care of everything with attention to detail. Make your wedding day enjoyable instead of stressful with the help of Stori Events!

Tori is awesome! We hired her as the day-of wedding coordinator for our daughter's wedding in May…read moreand we could not be happier that we did. Tori is a wonderful person and she is so good at what she does. She is organized, thorough, helpful, professional and efficient. She made it possible for me to completely relax and enjoy the special day. She worked tirelessly that day ensuring everything was set up perfectly. Every time I texted her the day before and the day of, she instantly responded with "I'm on it" or "you got it" or "I'll take care of that"...I can't express how calming that was to know someone would ensure everything went as planned. Throughout the wedding day she worked behind the scenes (never drawing any attention to herself) to make sure we all stayed on schedule and everything went smoothly. And it did! She was worth every penny! Hire Tori! You will not regret it. She is a sweetheart and absolutely wonderful at her job. (She even told me when my hair was falling out and pinned it back for me with pins she had on hand)! She's the best.

I was struggling with how to plan something special for a group of 6 without busting the bank and still getting a great experience. I heard about Kathy & Jim's "The Bus Stop Pismo Beach" tour through a niece. I will tell you this was perfect! First, Kathy & Jim are two of the sincerest people you will meet. They both are members at wineries throughout the Edna Valley, so they know their stuff and they love (almost passionate about... ) wines from this valley. One of the sisters is a a wine lover and shared that every winery that Kathy took them too was some of the best ones to visit. Every stop we had a reserved area so Kathy put in the time and catered the tour to us. But it didn't stop there! They included an afternoon snack time at one of the wineries and they shared local products from the valley too. Again, they are passionate about their valley and it extends beyond the wine. The best part of for me was the ride. It is a working, vintage VW Bus!!! This experience took the sister-in-laws back to their glory days; lol... Kathy was the perfect host. She related to the girls and still hosted a professional and memorable guided tour. If you are looking for a fun, memorable experience...do not pass up this one!!!

His online form is detailed so he can plan out a ceremony script that works for your unique situation. Our wedding was a small, elopement style with 14 family members from 5 different religions backgrounds.
