She always showed up with a smile on her face and a positive attitude (even when I was getting to be bridezilla). She accommodated every request and offered suggestions to make the wedding run as smoothly and beautifully as possible. We had some issues with our venue (that's another story) and weren't able to set everything up the night before the wedding. There was so much left undone, and I had a plan for it all. I gave Michele a super quick run through of about 20 things I needed to be done the day of the wedding. I didn't know how she was going to get it all done or remember it all, but she did. I didn't do a thing the day of the wedding, Michele and her girls took care of it all -- and it looked amazing! She got every detail right, paid attention to every request I gave her. She respected my ideas and my vision and honored that to give me my perfect day. She was kind and professional and truly was happy for both of us on the day of our wedding. You can tell Michele does this because she loves it. She is genuine and generally a lovely person to be around. Honestly, my wedding would not have been what it was without Michele. I am so happy we used Planimation Events to plan our wedding. I highly recommend Michele and her team. Thank you Michele!!

Monica was a phenomenal wedding coordinator! I had initially planned to do everything myself and…read morejust have someone execute my vision on the wedding day. However, a few weeks into planning, I realized having an individual with knowledge of all the vendors, and ensuring no other details were missed was critical. I was living on the east coast and planning a wedding celebration on the west coast, so I needed someone else expertise and personal experiences. I chose Monica because: (1) she was very responsive to emails, (2) was so warm, friendly and personable and (3) was willing to work with my budget. She had worked with every vendor I had chosen (except the ice cream truck). She reviewed every contract before I signed. She save us a lot of money on decor and flowers by using her personal inventory and skills. She caught errors in my list and counts for my rentals. She revised my venue layout multiple times and shared in my OCD nature of documentation in google docs. She met with me several times before the wedding day and met up with me in person a month before the wedding when we went to see the venue. The week before the wedding, she contacted all the vendors and I was able to spend time with family. The day of the rehearsal dinner she showed up 4.5 hours early to ensure all the setup was completed for the night and for part of the next day. It went without a hitch and she took care of the decor, and communications with catering. The day of the wedding, she arrived earlier than us to set up! She did my flowers, and did an amazing job. My bouquet was lovely and huge! While my family and I got our hair and makeup done, she set up/decorated the welcome tables, beverage stations, reception tables, escort tables and cocktail tables. She was an organized and calm presence, coordinating with photography, ensuring we were on schedule and guiding us for the ceremony. At the reception, she helped DJ mark with seamless transitions in the itinerary and some small modifications. At the end of the night, she waited for the last person to leave the venue and went above and beyond to help us ensure everyone's safety. Overall, Monica is the best coordinator I couldn't have had the perfect day without her. She made the entire planning process fun and smooth. I felt relaxed and confident through the 4 month planning process! I highly recommend her!

She recommended vendors for us in every category and we couldn't have been happier with the selection! We truly had a rock star team of vendors. On our wedding day, things went off without a hitch. Colleen and her team had everything under control, including all decorations, and my husband and I didn't have to worry about a thing! She and her team had a well developed schedule and literally just told us where to go and when. It was SUCH a relief to not have to make ANY decisions on my wedding day.

She made recommendations with all of the vendors and coordinated every detail of our event....the most beautiful wedding ever! We can't thank her and her team enough for EVERYTHING she and they did for us! Our only regret is not having her plan our rehearsal dinner.....have her do it, if will be worth it! She was highly responsive and easy to reach/communicate with. We were so relieved to have her help plan and make decisions, took the stress out of the process for us as we completely trust her.

She immediately hit the ground running and quickly identified our requirements and possible vendors based on our venue. Early on in the process, we visited our venue with her and she helped us select the appropriate areas for each of our events. We explained our vision, and she really made it come to life. There are so many small details that need to be considered for the wedding, and she really thought of everything. She was so organized, professional and patient, and answered what felt like a million questions from us throughout the planning process. She arranged meetings and phone calls with the various vendors to help us make any selections. She kept us on track of every deadline and required payment. Her initial questionnaire, wedding planner tool, logistics plan and detailed itinerary provided us with assurance that every detail was covered. . The weekend of the wedding, she was on top of everything -- always there when we needed her and handling things before we even had to ask. She had such a calm demeanor and continually was checking in during the weekend to ensure we were feeling good and to help ease any stress. Everything flowed smoothly and on time throughout the entire weekend. We received so many compliments on the wedding and rehearsal dinner, and our wedding party and families were so impressed with the organization throughout the weekend. She completely took the stress off us so we could actually enjoy the wedding day. We couldn't believe how beautiful everything turned out, thanks to all her hard work. We honestly don't know what we would have done without her!

She was open to doing a kind of art deco font that she's never done before and then creating cool Southwestern designs - I loved the creativity and willingness to be open to new ideas!

Everything that we hired Raina for: Menus, Escort Display, Place Cards, Table Numbers, and Signage turned out better than I could have expected. Calligraphy was something I almost cut when we were over budget but I'm so happy I didn't because I truly think those special details made everything come together and give it a true romantic and elegant vibe. I also thought everything was very reasonably priced - especially since she was kind enough to also suggest renting a few pieces and doing some partial custom pieces to keep things reasonable.

Our flower girl adored her flower crown, and the table florals were beautiful. She worked with us to design them in a way that would't affect our family-style dinner plan, which we really appreciated. Overall, we'd highly recommend working with Nikki and Fluidbloom!

After speaking with a few coordinators, I finally found Danae through a recommendation and the…read moremoment we first spoke, I knew she would be the perfect fit for us. Not only is she the sweetest and most genuine person, but she is so beyond organized and creative. We went with the "Perfect Day Package" because my husband and I had already completed a lot of the big vendor hiring, etc. With me being a DIY bride and my husband being very handy, we created a lot of elements for the wedding, but we knew that we would need someone who could complete our vision the day of and keep everything together for us. Danae went so above and beyond to be sure that our wedding was so true to us and our style. She took all of our decor (which was A LOT) and so perfectly put it all together in an elegant, flawless way...there is no way that I could have done it as great as she did! In addition to her styling our wedding, she was SO organized and kept everyone calm and comfortable leading up to and the day of the wedding. She was always available to us to answer questions, recommend vendors, give advice, etc. And our final consultation with her a few weeks before the wedding set our minds at ease and we knew that everything was under control. The day of the wedding, we were able to just enjoy ourselves. Our families and wedding party all knew where they needed to be and the vendors were all coordinated perfectly. If you're considering whether you need a wedding coordinator - YOU DO - and if you want your wedding to be flawless - HIRE DANAE! Working with Danae was by far the best decision we made because she was able to take all of our ideas, DIY projects, other great vendors and vision, and combine it all into our perfect wedding day.

Being that I was a wedding coordinator throughout college, have planned a multitude of fundraisers…read moreand community events for work, and am pretty much one dress away from Katherine Heigl in "27 Dresses", it's safe to say that I know a thing or two about large events and all that they entail. Recently one of my BFF's enlisted my expertise to help coordinate her nuptial day. She was planning it at this super cute winery on the Central Coast and was going for a simple, wistful theme but wanted to highlight key details that really expressed her and her groom's personality for a unique, intimate experience. When helping her look for chair and decor rentals in the area it seemed like every place we found had that same French, country cottage style. There's nothing wrong with that but it is a little, been there seen that (at every wedding in the past ten years). Then I stumbled upon Avenue Twelves' website and I started crying tears of joy. Not really, but you get the picture. There was a huge variety of unique pieces to choose from, all gorgeous in their own way. Tommy, the owner, was a dream to work with, and really understood the bride's overall vision. He helped pull pieces together that the bride would have never picked on her own, and yet they worked perfectly. There was even a chair on the site that said "coming soon" that my friend was dying to have as part of her lounge and Tommy went out of his way to order it and make sure that it arrived in time for her special day. He helped me style a few lounge areas and a guest sign-in space, and it all came together perfectly. The set up and pick up was seamless and the entire process was completely hassle-free. I will without a doubt be recommending Avenue Twelve to my family and friends in the area, and will hopefully have the opportunity to use them again for upcoming parties or events. Hats off to Tommy and his team. Keep up the great work!
