We received so many compliments from our guests, and it made for the most memorable photos. We had many changes throughout out party planning process which I felt really bad for but Lisa and her team were so easy to communicate with! They werepunctual, and clearly passionate about what they do. You can tell they genuinely care about making your event feel magical. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking to elevate their event. Thank you for helping make our son's birthday so unforgettable!

I had such a wonderful experience working with The Simple Luxe for my son's first birthday party…read morethat was farmers market themed! From start to finish they were incredibly easy to communicate with- responsive, attentive, and truly listened to what I wanted. Lisa and her team brought my vision to life, and it was even better than I imagined. What really stood out was their willingness to work within our budget without compromising on quality or creativity. They not only designed and set up all the balloons, backdrops, installations but they also spent extra time helping me decorate and design the farmers market with the custom gifts I made and/or purchased for my guests. The entire process felt stress-free and enjoyable. Everything turned out beautifully and we received so many compliments. I am truly honored to be The Simple Luxe's first farmers market themed client and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a talented, reliable, and kind vendor who goes above and beyond. If you have been following them on social media like I was and have an upcoming event - reach out to them and get a quote! You will not be disappointed!

I started this review in 2015, a year after my wedding, in order to properly allow any negative…read moreemotional feelings from the wedding subside and also to properly assess this company's services. It's now 2017, almost 3 years after my wedding and I'm finally publishing this review. My wife and I hired K&S for our wedding and selected the platinum package, basically so someone could hold our hands throughout the entire process + D.O.C. We had a short timeline, engaged in March with a targeted wedding date in December the same year. In regards to planning, Kym was spot on. Scheduling visits with the flower vendor, negotiating terms with the caterer, and also coordination tasks at the Nixon Library. She's good about telling you what options can be expensive, price ranges for vendors, and creative ideas within a certain budget framework. One minor annoyance was that every meeting she would spend a couple hours with us discussing, writing notes and follow-ups, but then go MIA. The next meeting would require a refresher (like she forgot key details), or we'd be proactive and send out an email or text asking about the status. This problem became so widespread (i.e. she will tell you she'll follow up in 3 days but then go a week with no response), that I had to send an email to her and her partner that they were upsetting the bride. My wife and I prepared everything in advance of the wedding so that Kym's team could setup the day-of. We packaged and organized everything in bags with labels and directions. Signs were installed in photo frames, name cards were bagged alphabetically, and layout was discussed all in advance. We arrive into the reception area the day-of only to find nothing was setup the way my wife asked. She was just so frustrated. The money/card box wasn't put where we asked, which involved a lot of guests coming to ask us what to do. It's almost as if the assistants and other team members didn't know what to do or didn't bother checking with Kym for instructions. This was apparent because the following happened -see below. And finally, the biggest debacle of the night. We had an agreement with the vendor that the consumption bar was to turn into an open bar once the limited was reached. Kym actually helped us with this during the negotiations. One of Kym's assistants for one reason or another got confused and told the caterer to turn the consumption bar into a cash bar. Kym apparently had no idea (not sure how the assistant came to make the decision). No one thought to come notify or ask us. Embarrassingly, our guests had to shell out cash for drinks sometime between 8:30 pm to 9:30 pm. We didn't find out until we visited the bar personally around 9:30 pm, ordered drinks and was asked to pay -imagine our surprise. The caterer apologized, Kym said "this is my fault", accepting responsibility, but the damage was done. My view here is that the wedding coordinator is at fault in this situation as she holds the responsibility to speak on behalf of the bride/groom (or at least check-in with them before making such a decision). And since when does an assistant make a decision like this without checking in with her boss?! Also, Kym was the one that negotiated the catering contract for us, not sure how her team could seriously make such a huge error. One key point to make here, the caterer went out of their way a few days AFTER the wedding to make amends (despite their assertion that they only listened to the K&S team). They offered to treat us to an anniversary dinner and a few comps at their local restaurant. As for K&S? Well they were gone with the wind after that last cash payment made at the wedding. It still leaves a bad feeling in my stomach to this day.

I HIGHLY recommend K &S Events for all the future brides!!…read more Kym was my day-of coordinator but helped me throughout my planning process. She was very easy to get a hold of anytime of they day, she will make time to answer all your questions and make sure you are on the right track. She helped me with my lighting and got me the best possible deal, the lighting company was a mess but she ensured me she would be on top of them and helped me get the exact Gobo light that I wanted and tested it out for me to make sure all the words were clear. She also helped me out big time with my timeline, and kept me on track the day of, without her, I don't know what I would've done. She's very prompt and organized, she made sure my wedding reception looked beautiful. My only regret is that I didn't have her help me with the entire wedding, wish I had her deal with some of my crazy vendors for me before hand. She really came through on my big day and knowing that she was taking care of everything I was able to feel less stressed and enjoyed my ceremony. Many thanks to Kym and K&S Events, I truly appreciate it!!

Liked the help provided by Laura, Audrey, and Carlos for a 92d birthday party celebration in Laguna…read moreWoods. Had about 30 attendees, with 8 or so over 75. Laura referred in an excellent caterer from Anaheim (Cortina's). She and Audrey and Carlos helped with appetizers (shrimp, focaccia, pigs in a blanket, charcuterie plate), served beer and wine, served plated salads, served plated lasagna, chicken, and vegetables, and served cake. They expertly made things tidy as they went along, and cleaned up the kitchen and house as the party wound down. Sorry to say the house was pretty much filled to capacity, so moving around was not always easy. Thankfully, they were well-dressed and passed around infectious smiles (especially Audrey) along with the food. First class operation.

They arrived on time, I was behind as usual and running around frazzled. They immediately jumped in and started to help from laying out the cheese tray, assembling the seafood tower, and chopping garnishes. I went over the passed appetizers we would be serving assuming I would be helping in the kitchen, they asked a couple of good questions and from there they handled everything, they heated and served all the food and paired with the appropriate drinks, refilled trays throughout the night, and cleaned our kitchen. They would not let me do dishes, they would not let my husband take out the trash, they lit candles, and even took pictures for me of the setup. They literally handled everything with smiles. Truly beautiful humble, kind and hardworking woman! I have never enjoyed a party we hosted this much I actually got to visit with people rather than be in the kitchen the whole time and I woke up to a sparkly kitchen, and food put away. My husband and I said this was our best yet party and we owe that to Laura and Cassie! Thank you ladies for making our night, we will never host a party without you!

Shraddha and Karan are the sweetest wife & husband team that I have ever had the pleasure of meeting and working with. I booked Sprig and Ivy early into my wedding planning, and even though it was a long time away from our initial contact to the wedding day, Shraddha was so nice and sweet in checking up every so often to make sure I was doing ok. When it came down to the wire, WOW- They exceeded everything that you can ask for in having wedding coordinators for your wedding. They were on top of everything and anything! There were so many moments where I needed a breather, so they "snuck" me out to check out everything and get some air (because everyone was pulling me in different directions!). At one point, I really wanted to see my dessert bar, but couldn't get to it, so Karan took me through a "detour" for me to check it out on the other side before all the chaos ensued. They made sure everything was perfect from beginning to end, and I am SO happy for their amazing work ethics, wonderful personalities, and overall, just great people to have and surround yourself with. Thank you for everything!

She helped us from narrowing down to a theme, picking out color palette, setting up all the props, she even prepared a few fun (non-cheesy) games to entertain our guests! We simply shared the direction that I tend to like (neutral, organic, quaint, nothing frou-frou, and especially no on the offensive pink). We also wanted to reuse some of the props from our wedding for the baby shower. Rima was able to seamlessly incorporate them into the rustic burlap and lace baby shower décor! Every little detail was beautifully presented, from the lovely dessert table, adorable papier rosettes, elegant center piece for the dining table, charming rosette chandeliers, precious baby wreath, and last but not least, the really chic chevron backdrop, which I was totally in love with!
