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!

I really cant speak highly enough about her work!! She honestly can do it all!! Check her out- you will be sooo happy you did!

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.

The energy never dropped, and our guests are still talking about how much fun they had. Not only is he an amazing DJ who knows how to read the room, but he's also a fantastic MC - everything flowed seamlessly and felt effortless. We're so grateful we had TJ as part of our day and would recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ. You will not regret it.

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!

All of our guests talked about how perfect our wedding looked, and a lot of that credit goes to the team at Avenue Twelve and the pieces we chose from them. We highly recommend working with them for any events and are so thankful for all they did for us!

So I participated in two of the adventure races that All Out Events puts on. The first was the…read moreCentral Coast Adventure Challenge at Lake Santa Margarita (May) and the second was the Adventure Challenge at Lake Lopez (June). Both were great events; the Santa Margarita event was especially well coordinated. All Out Events puts on a great show- registration and packet pick-up were both smooth, the event was well-run, goodie bags were well stocked, their t-shirts were cool, staff were firendly and they somehow managed Sierra Nevada to provide free beer at the end of the race! They also post race photos free to flickr, which is great; paying for race photos sucks. Anyways, I'm a fan and will be returning to participate in their events.

As the intern for their first Mud Mash X, it was exciting to introduce the event the San Luis Obispo and other locations in California.

It was a pleasure working closely with Kristin, I enjoyed how she gave me creative freedom with most of my activities. It was extremely rewarding to watch the event come alive and to see all the people arrive that I helped to inform about the event. I would highly recommend working for all Out Events. Andie Bradford

Also, we really messed up the timing on the day before the wedding, and the workers delivering and setting up the tent had to wait for an hour for us! Despite this setback, they proceeded to work really hard to set everything up, and even comforted me when o had a little meltdown of guilt. Thank you so much, GYC.

I'm not your typical bride, my now husband is not your typical groom, and the event we planned was…read morenot your typical wedding. To start off, we are both very busy. My husband is an architect working full time for a local design firm and starting his own business. I'm a full-time COVID epidemiologist, an almost full-time grad student, and a research assistant. We are also both (former) fire performers and we've been heavily involved in bringing art and participatory activity to the Burning Man festival for our entire relationship and then some. We've also amassed an incredible, tight-knit, hilarious, loving community of friends over the years in addition to our families who we are also very close with (and who are also a colorful cast of characters on their own!). The wedding we wanted was one in which we could bring our authentic selves and allow our friends and family to meet, mingle, and form lasting bonds over a weekend of laughter, love, and mischief. We found a perfect venue but their availability meant that we only had 6 months to plan the whole thing. At first, we tried to do it on our own, but we quickly became overwhelmed. In a stroke of pragmatic genius just 2 months before the event, my mom decided to hire a wedding coordinator. At first, I told her we didn't need one, but looking back that was absolutely naive of me, because we definitely should have hired someone as soon as we set the date. When my mom hired Amanda and her team, every vendor we spoke to enthusiastically told us that Amanda was THE BEST. They were certainly right! Amanda scheduled a virtual meeting with us right away to discuss our vision and what we'd need help with, and right from the get-go she was professional, organized, kind, and on-board with our shenanigans. Over the next two months, her and her amazing team gently pushed us to organize our ideas and make plans for the things we had not figured out yet all while respecting how frazzled and busy we were. The weekend of the event finally rolled around, and I met the rest of Amanda's team on-site. Not only were they all some of the nicest people I've ever met, but they worked like a well-tuned machine. When I woke up groggy and mildly hungover on Saturday morning, Amanda's team was already in action. As I got my makeup done and was transformed from a sweaty mess into a beautiful bride, the team checked in on me and the guests and buzzed around the venue getting things done. Not once did I have to interrupt my prep to deal with logistics. The ceremony itself was overwhelmingly beautiful and my heart aches knowing that I can't live in that exact hour for the rest of my life. Everything went off without a hitch thanks to the team and they were just getting started. As soon as they dismissed the guests to the reception hall, they brought my husband and me refreshments, kept us on-time for photos, and even had plates of dinner already set out for us when we joined the party. With the second drink-refresh, I started to feel like royalty being attended to by a team of loyal secret-service agents, it was pretty surreal and I might have let it get to my head a little bit. Over the rest of the night they held the entire event down while still having fun and participating in our silly nonsense. The first dance was a first fire dance and we had to change into different outfits beforehand. One of Amanda's team members drove my tipsy ass up to the cabins and helped me change, kept me from getting distracted, and drove me back to the reception. I for sure wouldn't have been able to do all of that on my own. When it was time to say bye to the crew, I felt a genuine pang of sadness. Everyone was beyond lovely and I just wanted to hang out with them longer, even if they weren't bringing me drinks! Their service was, personal, warm, organized, professional, nonjudgmental, and incredibly effective. Throughout the weekend, I was able to focus on the important stuff while they handled all of the details AND made my people and me feel so special and cared for. My husband, our guests, and I were able to have the most hilarious, fun, carefree, and spiritually important time of our lives because of the team. They were the integral piece in bringing our vision to life and I cannot thank them (or my mom!) enough for making it happen. So the ultimate question is: Does Amanda Holder Events live up to the hype? The answer is the most resounding "yes" and I'd give them 100 out of 5 stars if possible. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great wedding coordinator, especially if your event is quirky and nontraditional like mine. While I've never worked with a wedding coordinator prior to this, I can confidently say that we stumbled across the best people for the job, and our magical weekend would not have been possible without them.
