I cannot say enough good things about Grace from So Eventful. She was an absolute lifesaver for my…read morewedding! From start to finish, Grace was thorough, organized, and detail-oriented in every way. She planned everything down to the last detail and followed through on every conversation, even remembering things I mentioned offhand. Her responsiveness was incredible--if I needed something, she was there, and when I told her the type of services I was looking for, she would come back the next week with three vendor quotes, fully detailed with pricing and options. She seamlessly handled all communication with the venue and vendors, which took an immense load off my plate. Grace had a massive, meticulously organized spreadsheet that tracked every single task associated with the wedding, and she stayed on top of me to ensure I was on schedule for invitations, dress fittings, and choosing my bridal party. On the day of the wedding, Grace went above and beyond, even stopping by my house to pick up last-minute items and setting them up herself at the venue. She was truly wonderful and took so much stress out of the day. I can confidently say I would not have been able to pull off such an amazing wedding without her. I wholeheartedly recommend Grace and So Eventful to anyone planning a wedding--you'll be in the best hands!

Horrible customer service, did not follow through with what I had planned for this special day. After I confronted her about the lack of communication and planning she went ahead and had the audacity to overcharge me. I definitely do not recommend her services should of done my research before hiring her.

We had our wedding in March of 2019 and had hired Alexis and her team for our wedding coordination…read more We were excited to work with her and met with her several times in the lead-up to the wedding. We were told to expect several staff from her team on-site to help coordinate in our outdoor multi-site venue. She was even on-site the day before our wedding with an assistant to plan everything out. Then the day-of came, and Alexis did not show up. She sent her assistant with one other person, who we had never seen before and who knew nothing about our wedding. We were expecting Alexis, her coordinator, plus additional support based on our discussions up until that point. Having only two people show up day-of was alarming. So much went wrong on the day of the wedding, most of which she had told us she and her team would coordinate: 1. We spent the week before hand-crafting floral arrangements - many of which were not set out, even though our coordinators were responsible for putting out our decor. Our theme was "wildflowers," but you wouldn't be able to tell because a lot of it stayed boxed up. 2. Our wedding site didn't have enough chairs set up. Fortunately, the bride's mother arrived early and had to run around trying to find staff who could bring out and arrange the site. 3. Our DJ was supposed to be driven out to the wedding site in an ATV because it was muddy. The assistants apparently didn't know this though it was discussed, and so he ended up running late for the ceremony while he waited for a lift. 4. Our DJ was then supposed to be picked up from the ceremony site, but the coordinators didn't have a ride ready. In a rush he ended up driving his personal van out to the site and got stuck in the mud and couldn't make it back to the cocktail party and had to be hauled out. 5. The bridal party was very late to the ceremony site because the coordination staff wasn't communicating with each other or the site staff. The drivers, therefore, were running behind just because they weren't told about timing. Our guests waited in the sun at the ceremony site while the bridal party waited to be taken there. 6. The ceremony site was not set out the way we'd agreed and was missing most of the decorations. A ton of decor and flowers we expected at the wedding site stayed boxed, leaving us with an unadorned aisle and ceremony site. 7. The backup coordinators set aside none of the cocktail hour appetizers for the bride and groom - something Alexis said she would make sure to do. 8. The DJ came to us sheepishly at the end of the night, saying that typically he would coordinate payment with the coordinator, but they had left without notifying anyone. He went to the groom in the middle of the reception to make sure he would get paid. 9. Many of the guests spent the day picking up the slack of things we had agreed Alexis's team would do. We were agitated that they couldn't just enjoy the day after we went to so much expense in hiring coordinators. 10. The backup coordinator spent the day asking the bride and groom what she was supposed to be doing next and what we expected of her next. 11. The backup coordinator and her assistant were given walkie-talkies from the venue staff because cell phone reception was spotty at best. The venue staff was unable to find the coordinators when they needed them because the walkies apparently weren't often on. 12. Because of all this, the bride was pulled away so often she could not take pre-ceremony photographs with her bridesmaids. 13. Because the ceremony started so late, we ended up having to pay for an extra hour for our photographers and videographer to stay for the events we wanted to have filmed. We followed up with Alexis, and she asserted that they fulfilled their end of the bargain, and she proceeded to blame us for how everything fell apart and accused us of not being organized enough. She also said that enough chairs were at the ceremony site even though this was blatantly untrue, and we can prove it so with photographs and drone footage taken that day. Also, how would she possibly know? She was not there. Nothing changes the fact that the person we had been working with for five months didn't make it to our wedding, sent someone who knew nothing about our wedding to coordinate, and the day-of was chaos when it didn't have to be. Looking through photos of the day brings such mixed emotions. Having no pre-ceremony photographs with bridesmaids is one thing, but seeing pictures of our unfinished ceremony site is a heartbreaking reminder. Those pictures will last forever, as will those memories of a day that did not go as planned due to the poor coordination by Alexis Solano. All we can do at this point is to warn others against working with Alexis Solano Events for something as meaningful or costly as a wedding. If we knew then what we know now, we would have been better off hiring anyone else or just doing it all ourselves.

I cannot say enough good things about Kelly Studer and the team at Kismet for wedding planning…read more Kelly is deeply knowledgeable about the area and brought so much helpful experience to planning at a somewhat remote venue. She put so much thought and time into finding the right match for all of our vendors and had great insight into local and up-and-coming options. One of the things I appreciated most was that she never made us feel like we needed to do more, or do things differently. She embraced our ideas and made everything we chose feel like it was exactly enough. She is supportive, flexible, and always willing to go the extra mile, while making the whole process feel easy and personal. You'd never know she and her team were also planning other events. It was no surprise that Kelly won over our family and wedding party during the weekend. Her calm, quietly confident presence made sure everything ran smoothly and everyone had what they needed. Jackie was also a fantastic #2, joining us for site tours and helping coordinate everything day-of. I will dearly miss working with Kelly. We were so lucky to have her in our corner throughout the entire wedding planning experience.

She was incredibly thorough, knowledgeable about our venue and vendors, and always quick to respond to emails. No matter what question we had, Lindsey always had an answer and made us feel completely taken care of throughout the entire process. On our wedding day, Lindsey was absolutely pivotal in bringing everything we had planned to life so seamlessly. We never once had to worry about the timeline, what was happening next, or whether things were being taken care of. She kept everything running perfectly and allowed us to simply be present and enjoy our day. Even with the weather being incredibly hot, Lindsey was quick to adapt and helped us come up with last-minute solutions to keep our guests as comfortable as possible. Her ability to stay calm, organized, and think on her feet made such a difference. Lindsey is seriously the BEST. She is professional, responsive, and so easy and enjoyable to work with. Having her there gave us such peace of mind, and we are incredibly grateful for everything she and the Ooh La La team did to make our wedding day so special. If you are looking for a wedding planner who will make the entire experience feel effortless and make sure you can truly enjoy your wedding day, Lindsey is your girl!

Lindsey is simply the best, and I'm so incredibly grateful we found her to plan our wedding. Over…read morenearly two years of planning, her expertise, organization, and industry connections were absolutely invaluable. From day one, Lindsey was knowledgeable, kind, and genuinely invested in making our wedding everything we envisioned. Whenever I had a question, she always had thoughtful advice and recommendations. What I appreciated most was that she never pushed her opinions--instead, she shared her expertise while empowering us to make the decisions that felt right for us. She made the entire process feel personal and true to who we are as a couple. As someone who is extremely Type A, I expected to be stressed leading up to the wedding, but I honestly felt none. Lindsey was so organized, responsive, and dependable that I had complete confidence in her and her team. That trust paid off--our wedding day was absolutely perfect and ran seamlessly (or at least any issues were handled so flawlessly that we never knew about them!). She coordinated every detail with our vendors, allowing us and our families to be fully present and enjoy every moment. One of the reasons we chose Lindsey was her flexible planning approach. I loved that we could take ownership of the initial planning and vendor outreach while still having unlimited access to her guidance whenever we needed it. That level of support is rare, and her recommendations for vendors, from our DJ and rentals to our florist and cake, helped us build an incredible team that truly brought our vision to life. One of the most impactful moments during planning came at our 90-day meeting when Lindsey encouraged us to reconsider our decision not to do a first look. She thoughtfully explained that, based on our priorities, being present with each other, having time to ourselves, and valuing photography, it would enhance our day rather than take away from it. We trusted her advice, and looking back, it was one of the best decisions we made. She even built in a few private moments after the ceremony for us to soak in being newly married and enjoy some of our cocktail hour together, and those memories are among our favorites from the entire day. I'll genuinely miss my weekly (and sometimes daily!) emails with Lindsey. Working with her was one of the best decisions we made during our wedding planning process, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. If you're considering hiring a wedding planner, do yourself a favor and book Lindsey, you'll be so glad you did.

I'm so glad we found Leslie because she is a treasure. She is calm, kind, experienced, extremely cool under pressure, very responsive, resourceful and a joy to collaborate with. I'll sincerely miss meeting with her regularly to talk about logistics and design decisions. It really felt like working with a dear friend, and she went above and beyond to make our day flawless. She has such a strong network of partners in the area, and she is such a great resource to bounce ideas off of. My husband and I were truly able to fully relax and take in our full weekend because of her. I wasn't stressed about anything even for a second. I truly can't recommend her enough. Do yourself a favor and make her a part of your wedding team! Thank you forever, Leslie!!!

We hired Leslie about 10 months before our wedding in Healdsburg, CA for a "month-of plus" package…read more My mom had attended a wedding she planned that was beautiful, so we were excited to work with her. By the time we hired Leslie, we had already selected our vendors and had a clear vision -- we mainly needed logistical coordination, vendor communication, and expert guidance to bring it all together. From early on, we were surprised by the lack of proactive recommendations and limited familiarity with Healdsburg and our venue, despite having been told otherwise. As time went on, communication became increasingly sparse, and it was difficult to get clarity on key details. At around four months out, vendors began reaching out to me directly for logistics since they weren't getting responses, which understandably made us anxious about how things would come together. When I raised my concerns and shared that we might need to go in a different direction, Leslie acknowledged that it hadn't been a perfect fit but seemed surprised by the decision. We ultimately made the very difficult choice to end our contract less than three months before our wedding and in hindsight, it was absolutely the right one. I share this not to bash Leslie, as she is genuinely kind and professional, but to provide transparency for couples who have high expectations of their planner's communication, organization, and local expertise. I hope this helps future couples make informed decisions.

She provided home delivery and disassembly/ pickup of her arch structure supplies the next day- I didn't have to do anything- so convenient!

Since we found DJ Holiday on Yelp and chose her business based on these reviews, we felt compelled…read moreto write a review because our experience was much different than the others on Yelp. We used Celebrations for wedding planning in October 2015. At first meeting some months prior to the event all seemed congenial. This was a same sex wedding and DJ seemed OK with that and touted experience with the same. She frequently asks about your "vision." Although this seems more appropriate for a bride and a groom, we told he what we wanted. She assured us that changes happen along the way and that she is flexible and would work with us. This was not the case. The event was quite successful. Except for having the chairs in the correct place, coordinating the actual day of the event, cake and flowers , we can give no credit to Celebrations Unlimited for this success. Working with them was most unpleasant and just got worse as we got closer to the date. We found that she accepts little responsibility for errors and not accommodating for special requests. Unfortunately, from correspondence to correspondence you never know which DJ you're going to get. Our "VISION" was to have a wedding planner that would provide the service in a seamless way and reduce stress. This is not what we got. They are unresponsive to phone calls and emails and simply created more stress. We requested a bill on three occasions and received it one week before the wedding. The cost for chairs, water, flowers, cake and planning the day of the wedding was $6500.00. We had just over 100 people and arranged the photographer, reception and rehearsal dinner ourselves. All in all, the wedding was a huge success. My recommendation is to interview more than one planner, Celebrations Unlimited could be one of them. Establish your costs up front. Ask for references! If it is a different wedding, like two brides or grooms, make sure the planner has experience with this. Buyer beware and know what you are doing! Unfortunately we did not.
