Before the wedding, was available to meet with us and provided great ideas, support and advice. Highly organized, professional and warm.

She is very organized, professional and pro-active in anticipating problems and conflicts. Having Aimee help us with the day of coordination was money well spent. She also made herself available in the weeks leading up to the wedding and was always willing to answer emails/phone calls at any time. Her experience and time management skills were the key to the successful timeline of our wedding day and keeping our other vendors on schedule and happy. I can easily recommend Aimee as she is a pure delight to work with, and knows her business. I wish her and A. Events much success in the future.

Hi. I'm a wedding vendor. I'm a photographer. I've done a ton of weddings, been in a ton of…read moreweddings, I was, like, I got this, I don't need a wedding planner. I've seen how the sausage is made. All weddings have 4 ingredients: ceremony, food, booze, music. The end. And then my best friend called and said, "you don't need to write, produce, star in, and stage manage your day, please call Sarah." YOU GUYS. Best decision I ever made, second only to my husband. Turns out I didn't even know what I didn't know. Sarah is so, so good at what she does. She managed all my vendors for me so I wasn't getting texts day of my wedding that someone couldn't find parking, she sourced all my decor for me when my florist ended up being double booked with 2 other weddings on the new date (and third time we moved our wedding because, pandemic) with the help of the other person you should hire, Alyssa of Lyssco designs. She offered to have the unpleasant conversations on my behalf, she last minute took on booking and organizing the rapid testing service we decided to do last minute so we didn't become a super-spreader event. (Emily Post says it's real bad form to kill 30% of your wedding guests turns out). She ran the photo call like a boss. My photographer was so grateful (you should hire her too, Noelle Adams - seriously, don't hire me, hire her) At the end of the night, she gathered up and packaged up everything and DELIVERED it to my house. I was like, can I hire you to project manage my life???? So smart, so knowledgeable, so competent, so delightful, so professional, such a good human. The best wedding gift you can give yourself is giving yourself the day off the day of your wedding. Also, Sarah, if you're reading this, please be my best friend, you are beyond awesome.

Sarah's not only extremely personable (she made us feel like we knew each other for years), but she's also everything a planner should be and more! She's super organized, attentive, detail oriented, and has a solution to every problem imaginable. Sarah and her team helped us calm our nerves and ensured that we enjoyed every single moment of our big day without an ounce of stress. Each one of our vendors complimented on how easy to work with Sarah was and how much they enjoyed her. Sarah is an angel and there are no words to describe how amazing she truly is!

Her dreamy floral aesthetic made the already beautiful venue feel like an indoor garden, and all of my guests were blown away (see the gorgeous eucalyptus garland in the profile pic!) If you want unique, personalized floral and decor services, do NOT pass up Planning for Paradise! Had I not already had a coordinator through my venue, I would have hired Jenin for full wedding planning in a heartbeat. This gal can do it all with grace and style!

Not only did she allow us the freedom to choose any songs we wanted played during the ceremony/cocktail hour/dinner/reception but she also mixed in a lot of songs she knew would keep people on the dance floor. Deena was such a pleasure to work with and was very organized making the day run as smooth as possible. After the wedding, we received so many compliments from our guests on the music choice and how much fun people had on the dance floor. I would recommend Deena to anyone hosting an event, we would use her again as our MC/DJ in a heartbeat!

She was able to handle the chaos and manage when food went in and came out to make sure dinner and apps were warm and on time. She even carved my Turkey. Above the work I asked her to do her suggestions on how to make things more effecient were very helpful. Admittingly I wasn't sure I could justify the expense but She was worth every penny, they had a very competitive price and they made it so we went to bed with a clean house and woke relaxed.

Be Our Guest Event services researched several venues and resorts for me to visit, while simultaneously planning every inch of the entire weekend. After deciding on Bacara Resort we chose to give my guests their own bit of down time along with an incredibly planned out day for my wedding. My wedding day consisted of an amazing brunch on a veranda overlooking the ocean followed by 2 custom painted school buses that took us on a wine tasting adventure to 5 wineries. It was a day of fun and celebration and an incredible weekend of relaxation with family and friends. Tammie took care of every inch of planning my wedding- down to even my "something blue" so I didn't have to think, not to mention tactfully endured any stress that comes with a wedding. Tammie's selections in music vendors, flowers, etc. made the final choices for me a breeze as she knew exactly what I was looking for and most importantly, listened to my requests. My friends and family still talk about my wedding as being the most fun wedding they have ever attended. I give most of that to my hostess with the mostess!! The team not only took all the pressure and worry off of me with such an important and stressful time, but had this infectious energy they brought to my party . Thank you Tammie! I will be back with something else exciting for you to plan.

Don't overthink it, hire DJ Don Carlo for the best party!…read more We are beyond grateful for the incredible work DJ Don Carlos and his team put into making our wedding day perfect! From our first consultation to the ceremony rehearsal, he was professional, organized, and made us feel at ease. His guidance ensured that everything ran smoothly, and our entire wedding party felt prepared. As the emcee, he brought an infectious energy that kept our guests on the dance floor all night long! The mix of Mexican and American music was perfect--everyone was dancing until their feet hurt! Thanks to him, we were able to relax and enjoy every moment of our big day. We can't recommend him enough!

Hands down, the BEST wedding DJ ever!…read more From our very first meeting, Carlos stood out with his professionalism, warmth, and genuine passion for what he does (and great smile!). He worked with us from the early stages of planning, meeting with us monthly to ensure every detail was perfect--including helping build out our timeline. He brought amazing recommendations, was always reliable, and made the entire process stress-free and fun. What truly sets him apart is his personality--so personable, humble, and easy to connect with. By the time the wedding came, it felt like a friend was running the show. And WOW, did he deliver! I was on the dance floor for 3 hours straight, and so was everyone else. The energy never dipped, and it was truly the most fun I've ever had at a party--let alone my own wedding. Out of all our vendors, he was by far my absolute favorite. I'll be finding any excuse to hire him again in the future. If you're thinking of booking him--do it. You won't regret it!

I initially wasn't quite sure what a day of planner totally entailed, but assumed it was just helping out w the day of logistics. Sharon completely blew all expectations away. We had several long phone calls leading up to the wedding and she came with us to our walk through with our venue, caterer and florist. About 2 weeks before the wedding she totally took over all communication with my vendors, which was SUCH a huge help, since all the last minute details were getting to be quite overwhelming. I'm a pretty big planner and was nervous that I would be so worried about details on the day of the wedding that I wouldn't fully be able to enjoy myself. However, thanks to Sharon, I was totally at ease the entire day and night - she 100% had everything under control. I cannot recommend her services enough!
