We wanted all finger foods and nothing that had to be kept hot. Not only did Amber make solid food recommendations but she stayed within our budget. We served empanadas, bruschetta, ham & Swiss pinwheels and turkey & cheese wraps. Everything was delicious, beautifully presented and more than enough for our 25 or so guests. We had enough so no one walked away hungry. We kept hearing how good the food was throughout the event. I felt lucky to have found Preferred Sonoma Caterers as I am not from the area. They made the Celebration of Life event stress free and hassle free. Would absolutely use them again. Highly recommended. Thank you for everything Amber!

This review is long overdue and extremely well deserved!…read more If you're in the market for a wedding planning & coordination service, Bravo Weddings & Events is it. I can't emphasize enough how amazing Lisa Bravo and her crew are - from ideas to conception, phone and in person meetings, industry knowledge/service and suggestions, professionalism and follow through, she has the "it" factor! There are so many things on a bride's plate & working with Lisa I never felt overwhelmed or that anything was unreachable, rather anything was achievable. She is a huge factor and kudos to one of the most special & perfect days in our life to date, and we can't thank her and her services enough for the hard work of taking our vision to not only the finish line, but next level!

This review is for Katy Lohse of Bravo, she deserves a standing ovation and more!…read more My now-husband and I hired Katy wayyy back in March 2020 when we were bright-eyed and optimistic about having our wedding safely in June 2021. We hired Katy to help us with most of the planning and day-of coordination, which included unlimited communication with her until our special day. When we decided to postpone our wedding to June 2022, Katy was super accommodating. And nothing changed in terms of fees with Bravo - we got an entire extra year of bothering Katy for the exact same cost we paid in 2020. We had our wedding at Jacuzzi Family Vineyards and Katy was EXTREMELY knowledgeable about the venue and everything & everybody that came with it. Whenever my husband and I had any questions we thought were random (questions about shuttles, where to host an after-party, where to have our rehearsal dinner, where to host day-after-wedding festivities, and so many more), Katy always had a well-thought-out answer via email for us within a day or two. Katy attended our tasting with Park Ave Catering and was also there with us for our site visit and rehearsal at our venue. Whenever she was around, my husband and I both felt at ease. When it came to the day of, everything ran smoothly and on-time as far as my husband and I could tell (which is all that matters, am I right?!). Our guests were amazed that our 5:00pm ceremony *actually* started at 5pm. The rest of the night flowed perfectly and I am so pleased that I have happy, WELL-PLANNED memories to look back fondly at on my wedding day. Thank you Katy for everything!

There are many high quality wedding planners for Napa Valley, however, if you are looking for one…read morethat conducts business with integrity, I would not recommend Angela N. of Lulu Events and here is why... We signed Angela as our planner in May 2010 to help us with our Napa Valley destination wedding in October 2010. As we were planning our wedding from Asia and had less than 5 months til the big day, we needed a planner who was available and flexible to meet our demanding schedules. She claimed to be the "BEST PLANNER IN NAPA", provided us with "great" references, and assured us that she was very experienced in working with overseas clientele, so we paid our 50% of the fee to go ahead with Angela. (Note, she also emailed us that another party wanted to sign with her for an October 2010 event and given she has a quota of events she can do, we felt some time pressure... though, it was still our fault we didn't spend enough time to look around more thoroughly). Unfortunately, shortly after signing the contract we realized Angela was not right for us. We found out early on that her schedule was not very flexible to our needs and she was at times even unaware of the drastic time zone differences. Apart from canceling & re-scheduling several of our conference calls, she was unable to meet us for two separate in person appointments that we had flown in for from Asia. The first time was a brief business visit to the Bay Area, but given the short notice of our travel itinerary and not being her clients yet, we gave her the benefit of the doubt. But she was unavailable again when we planned to do another week long visit to the Bay Area/Napa to do our wedding site check and by that time, she was our planner. Maybe she was stretched too thin, or we were too far away, or we were not considered a big budget wedding, or that she often flies back and forth between Napa and southern California...but nonetheless something was wrong. Within the first week of signing on, Angela was out of pocket for the first few days, then she emailed to reschedule our conference calls that week and by the end of the week, we were told she would not be able to accommodate us when we were in town for our site check. With the distance and impending time crunch until the wedding, it was at that moment that we realized this was not going to work out and that Angela would not be able to provide the service we needed. We explained this to her over the phone and reiterated our concerns over email before asking if we could receive our money back or be billed for the work she had already done so that we could mutually cancel the contract. We thought this was a reasonable request given that only a few hours of work had been done so far and that our schedules just could not match hers. However, she was surprised at our request and refused to not only not provide the requested refund, but also stopped returning our calls and emails to work out an amicable solution. In the end, we were able to find a different wedding planner and had an incredible wedding. However, we are deeply disappointed that Angela seemed more focused on her bottom line than caring about the wedding couples who have been saving and working so hard for their special day...

What a special day getting to celebrate a special friend's wedding at Vine Hill House. As part of…read morethe bridal party, we spent the entire morning getting ready in the cottage on-site. The space was lovely and spacious. It had a full kitchen that allowed us to snack and stay hydrated throughout the morning. We were all able to gather in the area to have hair and make-up done, but there were also side rooms available for changing and getting ready. The cottage itself is lovely and create a picturesque backdrop for first look photos on the porch. The ceremony site felt intimate under the trees and the dinner area had a beautiful view of the vineyards. This special venue has such a great set up. As a guest, it was nice that everything was all on-site, but there were clear areas that helped designate the reception area from the ceremony turned dance floor. One cool feature was that the bride and groom utilized a side bar area next to the dance floor for a whiskey tasting lounge. It was a unique touch that made their wedding stand out! The venue owner, Dan, was HIGHLY involved throughout the day. He was highly attentive, but also highly present. Something to keep in mind if you'd prefer more behind the scenes vendors. What a joy getting to witness such special friends getting married in such a beautiful place!

A stage was set up to announce special awards and to honor our fallen and those we lost in the last year. It is pretty certain that the reunion luncheon will continue to be held a Sally Tomatoes, and they have never let us down.

It's amazing how they can transform this place into something magical and memorable for the couple to make it their own and add their own special touches. Such a beautiful place and the journey starts a couple of miles before reaching Flying Cloud. The drive up with the greenery and awe inspiring beauty that surrounds this place and the hills especially late afternoon as the sun sets low, the peaceful drive up sets the tone for the experience one is about to have here. I've come here a few times to see it as well as the day before for rehearsal and seeing it on the day of the wedding was unbelievable. The place completely transformed into this wonderful fairy tale enchantment that was perfect for the couple. Absolutely a charming place. They transformed this place from the ceremony with the arbor with pretty floral arrangements and rows of chairs with umbrellas to a full dining delight in round tables, linen, flowers and umbrellas. So so special. And at night with the white lights on the trees and the hanging light above the dance floor was just picture perfect! I also should mention the bridal suite is large enough for the bridal party (and then some) with a makeup/hair artist to get ready in. Thank you so much to the staff who worked here that evening, the coordinator here at Flying Cloud and a big thank you to Julia who was wonderful to work with (at rehearsal and day of wedding), so calm and she made sure everything turned out perfectly for the couple's epic day. We appreciate it.

Where do I start? How can I write a review about a place and person that facilitated the best day…read moreof my life? I will be reliving my dream wedding for all of eternity and its success was largely due to choosing the perfect venue. Literal perfection. Firstly, the value you get when booking a wedding at Flying Cloud is unmatched. We toured 5 or 6 different venues and Flying Cloud offered the best option by far. They offer coordination day of and for months leading up to the event. This alone was priceless. You NEED day of coordination at a MINIMUM to have a successful wedding and Julia was the best coordinator I could have asked for. We met Julia the first day we toured the venue and over the 10 months of planning met multiple other times and communicated via email/text without issue. Julia provides spreadsheets that keep you on track with planning and that was so helpful! With the price of the venue you also get chairs, tables, umbrellas and countless other items you would otherwise have to purchase or rent. This is a huge value. The space itself is so versatile and there were so many options for ceremony and reception space. My guests raved to me about how the venue was perfect and so beautiful. Everything was clean and well kept. The mature trees and vineyards in the front made for excellent photo backdrops. It was obvious that there is a well oiled wedding machine in place and I benefitted greatly from their experience in event planning. Flying Cloud has an extensive preferred vendor list which at first I thought may be limiting. Let me tell you that vendors don't make it on this list without proven excellence. The only vendor I had an issue with in 10 months of planning was one that was not on the preferred list. I used a DJ, photographer, bakery, florist, officiant and caterer from their list and everything was executed flawlessly. They also handle the rental order for you. We used Heirloom rentals and that was so convenient. We had access to the venue as early as we needed day of, which for me was 8AM. We also had access the day before for rehearsal and to drop off items. I dropped off so much crap (all the florals that I DIY'd, candles and hurricanes, guest favors, polaroid guest books, 2 mirrors, framed photos, potted plants, ladder ball, a ton of alcohol and more. We used 3 cars to take everything) that Julia and her staff had to display and make look good and cohesive, I was amazed how they had time to do it all and never seemed rushed or stressed. Julia also set up a s'mores station and coffee station for us which was awesome! Directly after our ceremony we went back to the bridal suite to sign our marriage license and our signature drinks and appetizers were waiting for us. This is the kind of thoughtfulness that comes with experience and true professionalism! The bridal suite was such a nice space to get ready. It was spacious and Julia had gallons of water waiting for us. There is a refrigerator, a dressing space, lots of natural light, an excellent lighted, mirrored area for hair and makeup artists, a couch, table and chairs. My hair and makeup artists raved about the space. I had 8 people getting ready with me in that space and there was plenty of room. Julia and her team worked their asses off all day for me and I am so grateful! I think she may have secret magical powers. She fielded questions all day, directed vendors, set up the entire space and did so with a smile and while being kind. She made decisions for me when I didn't want to and everything ended up perfect. There is a reason this venue has won many awards. I can't say enough good things. I'd also like to note that time spent at the venue the day before for rehearsal was 1 hour from 9am to 10am Those who may think that having other parties at the venue on the day of their event is intrusive, should consider that they also had to rehearse the day before. There was another event the day after our Saturday wedding and I did not feel anything but excitement for others who are getting to celebrate their event at this amazing venue. Lastly, when planning I appreciated the transparency. I didn't have to jump through hoops to get their pricing and event packages. We spent $9000 for a Saturday in June. Our event ran from 4pm-10pm and I was at the venue to get ready at 8AM.

Do not recommend. We…read morehad our Wedding in May 2019 at Eagle Vines Napa Valley. We hired Brittany and Tracy from Marry Me Weddings and Events with the "Professionals Wedding Package". Overall we do not recommend them. We feel the service provided was not worth the money we spent. On the day of the wedding I feel they were not on top of everything and they seemed overwhelmed. Compared to other vendors they did not go above and beyond. Below are some pros and cons. Pros: - They managed vendors, called them and scheduled with them. - One of our vendor was not responsive and they did the necessary to hear back from them. - At the end of the wedding they packed everything back nicely so the next day we just had to pick up boxes - 90% of their value added was on the day-of, so we'd recommend getting the basic "day-of" package. Cons: - Just before ceremony started I discovered that they lost a big box with the 70% of the party favors. After accusing me to have forgotten it at home then finally found it. So instead of enjoying and welcoming our guests I had to run around to find the box and my stress level was at 100 %. In addition their solution was to put one party favor per table... which did not make any sense. - Tracy did not have the latest timeline on the day of the wedding, . She was still working with a three-week old timeline with hand written notes even though we had finalized the timeline a week prior and sent them all the details via google slides. - We were on a tight schedule for dinner. One of their responsibilities was to make sure we stay on time, seat people and tell people when to start their speeches. We started dinner about 30 minutes late, the DJ was more concerned than them to have people do their speech on time.

They are both very professional, have so much attention to detail, awesome creative ideas, patient , and the best hearts. Our wedding was gorgeous and a dream come true thanks to both of them. They made the wedding planning process easy and stress free!!! Last Year in January after we got engaged I contacted Marry Me Wedding And Events right away. We set up a date to meet to go over their services, packages and to get a better idea /understanding as to what it was we were looking for. We chose the The Lavish Package - the full service package . With this package it was the best to accommodate my fiancé and I. They take care of everything as if it is their own wedding, which is exactly what we were looking for. From the moment we signed the contract through the 12 months of planning we could not be more thankful to have Brittany & Tracy helping us and on our side step by step. Taking care of every single thing / details that needed to be done . They found all the vendors , set up all appointments , dealt with all vendor correspondence, and went to all meetings for us even if we were unable to attend. When finding vendors they would send only the options that would be good possibilities to choose from. Through our private Pinterest board and emails they were able to understand our personalities, style, ideas and our theme completely!! If you have a fiancé with ideas and many surprises up his sleeve they make sure they accommodate those ideas as well without letting the bride know. While having their own emails and communication. Our wedding day was the most perfect and incredible day we could have ever imagined from start to finish! We walked into a dream that Marry Me Wedding & Events created!! I have never felt so happy in my life! If you are looking for a planner I wouldn't think twice about hiring these two beautiful ladies!! They are worth every second of your most incredible day ever!! I look forward to working with you both again for many future parties and events! Thank you !!!!!!
