We recently had a wedding for 150 guests, and our vision was very detailed. We were looking for a…read morevery specific style of chair to complete our wedding setup. After finding **A Planned Affair**, my mother-in-law was able to meet with Marlene since we live out of town. From the very beginning, Marlene was incredibly helpful and offered us several different options. She had the **perfect chairs** we had been searching for! Marlene's customer service was truly top-notch. She communicated effectively, made sure everything was clearly understood, and was extremely helpful throughout the entire process. Since we were coordinating our wedding from out of town, she made everything so easy, especially arranging the pickup and drop-off. We truly appreciate Marlene and all of her help in making this part of our wedding planning so stress-free. **We highly recommend A Planned Affair** to anyone looking for quality rentals and excellent customer service. Thank you, Marlene, for helping bring our vision to life!

Unfortunately, we had a very disappointing experience with this wedding coordinator and ultimately…read moredecided to cancel services just weeks before our daughter's wedding. Despite being paid in full, communication and follow-through were a major concern. Multiple vendors contacted us directly with wedding-related questions because they had still not been contacted by the coordinator, even this close to the wedding. Meetings were disorganized, and one scheduled meeting was nearly canceled when we were notified just 10 minutes beforehand that it had been forgotten. We also had to create our own wedding-day timeline, and instead of feeling that the bride's wishes were being prioritized, we frequently heard what would be easier or more comfortable for the coordinator. Planning a wedding is stressful enough, and hiring a coordinator should relieve that stress--not add to it. We ultimately lost confidence that the services we contracted and paid for would be provided. I'm sharing our experience so other couples can make an informed decision when choosing someone for such an important day.

First off I need to shout at the top of my lungs JENNIFER IS A MUST HAVE!! I underestimated the…read morepower of this woman. She handled everything from start to finish with excellence. At first I didn't think I needed a Day Coordinator and I almost messed up big time by not booking her services. There were mishaps that happened the day of my wedding but I didn't deal with any of them. She took care of it all and even went to bat for me when a vendor messed up big time. I am so thankful for her and Jake. Speaking of Jake, he killed it with the music. I had a very particular vibe we wanted and the selection of music was going through eras as the night progressed. He pulled it off flawlessly. If you're reading this and debating on them over others just pull the trigger with these two. You will be glad you did when all is said and done.

I was originally only looking for a DJ at the time when I found Jake and Jenn and I can honestly say I couldn't have done it without either of them! Jenn is so sweet, smart, and very responsive! She was so organized and was there for me anytime I needed. They were both able to travel from Redding to Chico at an affordable cost. When it came down to the day of they were both timely and so friendly I felt like they were two of my friends at the wedding! Their whole setup is extremely professional and Jenn was literally prepared for every scenario before I even knew I needed something. You NEED easy events for your wedding! Thank me later

I have heard great things about Morgan but she was not available for my wedding day. I had Ciara…read moreKing. I hired her 5 months before my wedding as a day of coordinator with setting up and cleaning up added. She did exactly that but I realized many things the next day (the day of our wedding I was too happy about being married and seeing out of town/state friends and family to notice). For starters, I had given her a list of each table with the exact items at each table such as the specific table linens and each item used at the table and what they were supposed to be used for. One great example is our specially made figurines of our 11 year old dogs my husband had bought that were supposed to go on the back of the cake. Since they were specially made they cost $50 total for the two. They were left in a bin underneath our welcome table that my husband had to grab after realizing she and her assistant failed to notice. The only photos they were in were after the cake was cut so we never had the photos we wanted. Another thing is the ceremony. I had 6 reserved signs for the first two rows and put in my notes " (2 extra just in case they break because they are flimsy)". You would think she would put two on one side and two on the other but she went ahead and put 4 on the first four rows on the right and two on the left. This left almost two full rows empty because of the unnecessary reserved signs thrown out. I really didn't consider leaving this review until I found out the next day that none of our wedding favors were put out. For our wedding favors my dad and I made homemade peach jam. We had worked on it over the span of two months trying to make it perfect for our friends and family and were so worried about it turning out right working on it until the month of the wedding. We were so excited to have it be finally done and we're proud of what we made because it was a nostalgic gift because we used to make peach jam when I was little from our old peach tree. I found out the next day that our 79 jars of peach jam were not put out. I had it in my notes that there would be a small table for these jars of jam to be stacked and I had rented a linen for the table and made a sign for people to take one. I understand if things got busy not being able to set up that table might be one thing but to not put them out at all? To not put them on the tables? To not even bother to ask "why did you put Favor Table is your notes?" as if that has to be asked. If the box was lost she could have had people looking for it. I was never told by her that she failed to do this.I found out by my disappointed family who found it the next day and me and my dad are still incredibly disappointed that she failed to put out our hard work. I believe that despite me handing her a binder with a checklist of just basically inventory with pictures of how I wanted things that she didn't bother to look at my checklist and just saw my pictures in the back of the binder and ignored the rest. Her and her assistant did a great job setting up what they could and cleaning up. Again I have heard great things about Morgan and would never tell anyone not to hire her but I would not recommend Ciara King because of this disappointing experience.
