Every detail was thoughtfully handled, and nothing was overlooked. The level of care and attention they brought to every aspect of the day was incredible. Even the smallest details that mattered deeply to us were executed flawlessly. Throughout the day, we felt completely taken care of. Their calm professionalism allowed us to be fully present and enjoy every moment with our family and friends. Rachel even made a mid-dinner stain on my dress disappear as if it had never happened. And while we know they can't technically control the weather, we're still convinced they found a way to turn an 85% chance of rain into the most beautiful sunny day imaginable. We are endlessly grateful for the care, creativity and heart they brought to our wedding. It was everything we dreamed of and more, and we couldn't have imagined a better team by our side. Some people are meant for days like this, and Molly and Rachel are two of them.

They were setting up for another wedding there and I loved every part of it and had to get their card. From the very beginning they made the entire planning process feel easy and organized. Their use of Aisle Planner was incredibly helpful. We loved that it allowed us to have multiple logins for family members and let us keep track of all contracts, timelines, and details in one place. Molly and Rachel were always quick to respond to any questions we had and they kept us on track every step of the way. I never felt like I had to check in or worry about what needed to be done because I knew they would let us know exactly when something needed attention. They know Scripps Seaside Forum so well and gave us the best vendor recommendations. We truly loved every single referral they provided. Even once peak wedding season began, we never felt overlooked. They continued to be responsive and attentive, even on weekends when they were busy working other weddings. Molly and Rachel are professional, organized, knowledgeable, and have such a great eye for design. On our wedding day when the weather unexpectedly changed, they made the transition to Plan B feel seamless. They gave me their honest opinion about what would make our guests most comfortable and create the best experience given the circumstances, which I appreciated so much. I truly could not recommend Molly and Rachel enough. They made the planning process so much easier and helped us feel completely taken care of from start to finish. My mom and I are counting down the days for my little sister to get engaged just so we can work with them again!!

We cannot say enough great things about the Lavish Wedding Team, and especially Gabriela! From the…read moremoment we met Gabriela, it was clear that she wasn't just a wedding planner--she was someone deeply invested in making our wedding day a reflection of us as a couple. She took the time during our very first meeting to ask about our personal story--how we met, how my husband proposed, and what made our relationship unique. This was something no other planner had done, and it immediately made us feel like we were in the hands of someone who truly cared. She has become more than just a wedding planner, and is now one of our friends. Our wedding was a beautiful blend of two distinct cultures, and Lavish went above and beyond to ensure that every detail honored both of our traditions in a way that felt seamless and cohesive. Gabriela found creative ways to incorporate elements of each culture into the decor, ceremony, and reception, making our celebration not just special, but incredibly personal. Her thoughtful approach to merging these cultural elements was absolutely perfect, and we were so grateful for the care she took to ensure everything felt authentic and meaningful. On top of all that, the Lavish team was incredibly attentive to every last detail. There were a few last-minute challenges on the day of the wedding, and they handled them with such grace and professionalism that we didn't have to worry about a thing. If you're looking for a wedding planning team who will go above and beyond to make your day as special as it can be, look no further than Lavish.

We've never planned a…read morelarge event before, and most of our family and friends lived in different states making it hard for them to help us plan our dream wedding. Lacking crucial wedding industry knowledge, and working full-time quickly made us realize we needed help! We met with several wedding planners, who were all great, but once we met Lisa we knew she was the one! Lisa immediately felt like family, someone you could trust, someone who listened and asked all the right questions. She always has your best interest in mind and is always there to remind you that everything will be okay. We selected the "wedding planning assistance" package because we truly needed all the help we could get! I would HIGHLY recommend this package to anyone because wedding planning is truly a marathon and Lisa is your coach during the whole process. She helps you sort out all the details that you don't even realize you need to think about. Right away, she came up with a game plan that prioritized our budget. She recommended vendors who, on our wedding day, delivered top-tier service. She is well-connected within the San Diego wedding industry and is beloved by these vendors, and I understand why. She attended vendor meetings with us and made sure the vendors understood our vision all while remaining cost-conscious. Did I mention she helped us stay within our budget?! Bailey and I frequently communicated with Lisa, asking her all kinds of questions. She responded quickly and offered incredible advice when we were torn between certain decisions. Lisa is so positive, always smiling, and constantly reassures you that your special day will turn out beautiful. AND IT WILL, in large part, due to her execution on the day of. Wedding planning isn't just Lisa's business, it goes deeper than that - it's her passion. During the whole planning process, we felt just how much she cared about making our wedding day special for us. Bailey and I agree that our wedding day was the best day of our lives! Everything flowed so smoothly, she made sure we stuck to the timeline all while ensuring we did not miss special moments with our guests. She is a people person who knows how to execute a timeline and tie all the small details together. We cannot recommend Lisa enough!!

Lisa was the second coordinator I interviewed and after meeting with her I knew I wanted to go with her based on her experience and ease she carried.

I am an extremely organized and scheduled person, so when I met Lisa I was instantly at ease. She was so friendly and so organized that I knew our wedding was in good hands. Lisa was also there for me with answers to any of my questions and a couple weeks before the big day when we met, she had everything laid our perfectly. She really helped bring my visions to life with her attention to detail. She knew exactly the aesthetic and vibe I was going for and really helped tie up any loose ends. The day of our wedding could not have gone more perfect! There wasn't a single thing I would have changed and just so grateful for Lisa and her team to make the whole day run so smoothly.

I really wasn't going to write a review but my bridesmaids, family members and even a few vendors…read moreurged me to do this due to the way I was feeling through this process. I chose Sara because I immediately loved her outgoing personality and felt we clicked. She was kind during our meetings, and I truly believe she wanted my wedding to be successful. Unfortunately, as planning progressed, I often felt like I was doing much of the coordination myself. Several details from our meetings were forgotten, vendors frequently contacted me directly with questions, and I ended up handling tasks that I had expected my coordinator to manage. The biggest example was collecting vendor insurance for the venue, which I had forwarded to Sara months in advance but ultimately had to gather myself just days before the wedding. On the wedding day, there were also several communication issues. Some décor wasn't set up as outlined in my planning documents, guests weren't directed to sign our guest book, and my bridesmaids often stepped in to help coordinate. I had nine bridesmaids ready to assist, but they shared that when they asked where things should go or how to complete certain tasks, they were often met with uncertainty or dismissive responses rather than direction. Several members of my bridal party and family also commented that Sara seemed overwhelmed or disengaged, which made it feel like my wedding wasn't a priority. This was the BIGGEST issue. Everyone makes mistakes but to treat others as if they are a bother and that you rather be somewhere else...that's not good at all. I also noticed my wedding wasn't showcased on her Instagram like others. No pictures taken like her other events she put on her social media. I'm assuming I wasn't someone who fit into her aesthetic. That said, I truly appreciate that Sara showed up and helped keep the day moving. Wedding coordination is a demanding job, and I wish her nothing but success as she continues to grow in her business. I also want to give a special thank you to her assistant, SARAH DOWLING. She was incredibly kind, personable, proactive, and always looking for ways to help. She went above and beyond for both my bridal party and my guests, and her support made a huge difference on our wedding day. She is the reason why I am giving this business 3 stars instead of 2. And the fact that regardless of her attitude, Sara W still showed up. Overall, I believe Sara Waldrop has potential, but my experience left me wishing for stronger communication, follow-through, and attention to detail. I hope this feedback helps her continue to grow, and I genuinely wish her the best!

Bridgette helped me transform my grandmother's hand-sewn wedding gown from 1947 into my dream…read moredress. I came to her with very little knowledge about the process or what was even possible with the gown. She helped me create a vision, gave me thoughtful structural advice and options, and guided me toward decisions that ultimately led to the wedding gown of my dreams. She began by having the dress cleaned and brought back to its original color, then stripped it down to the base fabric and rebuilt it from there. We discovered it was just slightly too short, so she offered creative suggestions for how to work with it. She was patient with me at every appointment as we discovered what would work with the realities of the dress while still honoring my new vision. She added multiple layers, boning, and the perfect basque waist, and now it fits me beautifully. It is also surprisingly comfortable. What started as a 79-year-old vintage family heirloom became a bespoke couture wedding gown that feels like it came from a high-end boutique. I am forever grateful for Bridgette's patience, creativity, and expertise and would recommend her to any family, friend or loved one looking for a personalized, uplifting experience! Professional photos of the dress to follow.
