Her organization, attention to detail, and calm, confident presence made such a difference during what could have been a stressful time. On the day of the wedding, she was my absolute go-to for everything. I didn't have to worry about a single detail--Courtney had it all covered. From coordinating vendors to keeping the timeline running smoothly, she made sure everything flowed perfectly. She anticipated needs before I even had to ask and handled any little hiccups behind the scenes without me ever knowing. Because of Courtney, I was able to be fully present and actually enjoy every moment of my day. She went above and beyond in every way and truly made my wedding feel effortless and perfect. I can't recommend her enough!

From the start, she brought order, warmth, and expertise to every step of the planning process. She was thorough on every phone call, making sure no detail was overlooked, and always followed up with clear documentation so we felt fully prepared and at ease. When we needed candles for the reception, she didn't just point us in a direction, she tapped into her wholesale connections and placed the order herself. That kind of initiative was incredibly helpful. On the day itself, Cari was everything we could have hoped for. She was incredibly responsive, on top of every moving piece, and made the entire day run so smoothly. She set up everything beautifully and went above and beyond to help us pull it all together and then clean it all up at the end of the night. We received so many compliments from friends and family about how perfectly everything came together, and people made an effort to tell us that they thought her work was fantastic. If you are looking for a wedding planner, stop here and book her. You will not regret it. We are endlessly grateful. -- Jess & Nick Kravchuk

We chose AOE and Cari from a recommendation from a different planner that was unavailable for our…read moredate. Throughout the planning process, Cari was friendly, responsive and seemed genuinely invested in helping everything go smoothly. We felt confident and supported in the few weeks before the event. However, one of the biggest issues was regarding the deposit. I was sent Zelle information from Cari which is where the deposit was sent. I had informed Cari when the deposit was submitted but the next day received many frantic calls and emails from her stating her email was hacked and it was not where the deposit needed to go. She apologized and reassured this had never happened before, but instead of taking accountability it felt that she was blaming me for her information not being secure. I had informed her I would wait until my bank got back to me about the payment refund to submit the remaining balance, but instead I was sent an email that she would need to cancel our date due to the deposit not being paid in time. After reaching out to her she explained because she had not heard back or received payment, that she would need to cancel. I thought it was odd considering the situation, and thought she would give us some grace with the deposit. Regardless, I unfortunately sent an additional payment that same day to keep our scheduled date. We never got the deposit back. Unfortunately, our experience on the wedding day did not meet the expectations that had been set. Several details that we discussed beforehand were either missed or not executed as planned, which resulted in added stress for us and our families. The ceremony walk through was The largest complication for me was that the vendor list did not have the correct address to the venue. This would have been fine, however Cari also went to a different venue making her set up time later than expected. We arrived 30 minutes later than expected to cocktail hour and I was not made aware of the address issue until we arrived at the parking lot of our venue and my sister and photographer were at the wrong venue. When I called Cari her response to me was "Yeah, I also went to the wrong address. But I did send you guys the vendor list to confirm the address". We had many meetings regarding venue and set up and she was in contact with the venue coordinator as well, so I acknowledge that we should have corrected the address on the email, but we assumed it was correct since we discussed drop-off locations and initial conversations being at the correct address. We also thought if she knew it was the wrong address, we would have loved her to reach out to everyone and explain the mistake immediately so that no one else would also be late. She had also recommended we move our cocktail up sooner for the flow of the ceremony to reception dinner, so we moved from 6-7pm to 5-6pm. We also had an additional person available for table set up with the venue reserved, and when asked Cari confirmed we would not need the additional help so we cancelled this option. On the day of, we arrived 30 minutes later than expected to cocktail hour with her still setting up. According to our guests that arrived on time, nothing was ready when they got there. After 15 minutes since arriving, the table set up was incorrect, the seating chart was laid out flat on a table due to wind, people were sitting inside at their tables already, no music playing, the outdoor lay out was incorrect, and our photographer was at a different location. Another thing to note was that there was no conversation on how the cocktail and other tables were to be set up so I had sent photos for reference just in case the week before. I was a little disappointed that these little details were not confirmed in advance. Afterwards, there were also other minor issues that could have been avoided with better planning as well, but these were the bigger issues. It was unfortunate to hear from my friends and family that they noticed these issues as well, and were checking in on how I was feeling throughout the reception, which is not something you want your guests to notice. We found ourselves addressing issues that we expected would have been managed by Cari taking away from our ability to fully enjoy the day. Her start time was not until the afternoon as well, so the morning was open to confirming and finalizing details if needed. While we appreciate the effort and professionalism shown during the planning stages, the day-of coordination itself fell short of what we anticipated. Ultimately we were disappointed that the execution did not match the level of preparation and confidence established beforehand. We also did not hear from her afterwards until one week later after I reached out to confirm our certificate was submitted (she offered to do). A sincere apology would have been appreciated. I hope this feedback is helpful for future couples and provides an opportunity for improvement for Cari and her team.

We first spoke to Katie for an initial call and she was really knowledgable and friendly that I was sad to hear we would be working with another coordinator, but Emily happily jumped on a call to ease any worries I may have had. We went with the Month of Coordination service which allowed us to do most of the planning ourselves (most of our vendors were locked in early on, but MB provides a lovely list of vendors they've worked with in case it's needed). Emily had us fill out a very detailed questionnaire (you can tell they know what they're doing with the questions being asked) and went over every detail with us, including areas we were still figuring out. She was available for any questions I had as well leading up to the day, made sure to reach out to all of our vendors with the master timeline, and even provided some guidance for my cousin that was officiating for the first time. A big bonus is how many weddings they've coordinated at Walnut Grove that they're very familiar with the venue and the folks from Command Performance Catering. Emily led us through rehearsal the day before and made sure the actual wedding day went smoothly. She made it possible for us to focus on enjoying the day with our friends and family, but still keep on schedule with her gentle reminders.

We held our wedding at Walnut Grove and it was clear that Emily knew what she was doing, especially at that venue! I am definitely a more anxious bride and had many questions, emails, texts. Emily responded to each one with so much grace and expertise. Wedding planning can be isolating at times because there is so much to do - but I really felt like I had a partner in Emily. She was so responsive and enthusiastic! Her excitement and calm attitude carried me in moments I wanted to give up wedding planning altogether. On our wedding rehearsal - our bridal parties all remarked at how pleasant yet professional Emily was. She really made sure everyone knew what they were doing. Which was especially difficult because we had a bridal party of about 20+ people! On the day of the wedding, we had very strong winds (at an all outdoor venue) and I was blissfully unaware of the chaos occuring. But Emily and her assistant Katie handled the situation so well. Whenever Emily checked in with me regarding things that were not going to plan, she had so much confidence and peace that it was easy for me to make quick decisions. I can really say I was present throughout the wedding, and focused on getting married! Everything else, Emily handled so beautifully. I am forever grateful to Emily and Mia Bella Weddings and you will not regret having them on your vendor team!

Tiffany was still available and helped us so much with booking vendors before the six months though so it did not feel like we just started being their clients at the 6 month mark. During our monthly phone calls, Tiffany was super detail oriented and made sure everything was being done on time. She provided really valuable insight and vision, helping with design, wedding flow, vendor requests, and infinite other items. Although we had our monthly calls, she was always available to us via text, email, and other calls if needed. She communicated with vendors on our behalf as well and made the whole process so much easier for us. On the wedding day, Tiffany and her team SHOWED UP. I cannot stress enough how much Tiffany and her team seamlessly and professionally ran the day. I did not notice anything go wrong, my husband did not notice anything go wrong, our families did not notice anything go wrong. Her team kept everything running so smoothly and went above and beyond making sure me and husband, as well as our families, felt like royalty the whole day. The fact we could turn our brains off and just enjoy the magic of our wedding was so incredible. I was able to relax and I knew that Tiffany had it covered. She was in our corner and we could really feel that the whole time. I could not recommend Tiffany and her team highly enough. Fair and transparent pricing, attention to detail, communicative and highly responsive, goes above and beyond for her clients. Tiffany and her team exceeded our expectations and made our wedding day truly the best day our of lives.

It genuinely felt like having a partner in planning. I didn't have to worry about a single thing -- every detail, every piece of signage, every vision we had was executed perfectly. They even handled all our personal items from the room and made sure everything was in place. The whole experience felt effortless and seamless. No notes. Worth every single penny.

I had the opportunity to help set up the venue before my family's party and the staff couldn't have been more helpful. We had a ton of flower arrangements and decorations to put up the morning of the big event. There was a service elevator with a couple of rolling carts available to bring up all of the party favors and event supplies. We did have to use the stairs to bring up a huge balloon arch, but ran into no real issues. The place was still in disarray from an event that was held there the prior evening, but the cleaning crew made sure that entire room and bar areas were up to par before everything got started. Everyone worked very hard. They had convenient bathrooms/dressing rooms where you could get ready and do your make-up and hair with plenty of mirrors and outlets. The actual room we were in could hold around 20+ tables seating around 10 people at each, so perfect for weddings, anniversary parties and very large groups. There are smaller room options if you need space for a more intimate gathering. And they have a full service kitchen and catering staff that can accommodate and serve 200+ guests all at once. Very nice. Overall, this is a unique location in Oxnard and a hidden gem in the sky!
