Well, LA Wedding Sitters is the solution for you! I went to a wedding in San Marcos, CA at Green Gables Estate and learned about LA Wedding Sitters. It was amazing that they traveled all the way down to the San Diego area! I was a bridesmaid at this wedding where the thoughtful bride hired babysitters to watch all the kids during the wedding so that her mom/dad guests could enjoy themselves. The kids enjoyed themselves even more! I was so impressed that this company brought a whole entourage and equipment full of fun activities for the kids. They had colorful floor mats, sand crafts where the kids could layer different colored sands in a jar, hula hoops and much more. The kiddos seemed to enjoy it a ton and it was a lovely way to keep the kids safe and in a designated area under the supervision of professionals. So many parents were thankful and couldn't say nicer things about their services.

Despite our enthusiastic DIY attitude, we knew that in order to be emotionally present on the day, we needed back-up. Emma had our backs 100%. Every time we spoke with Emma in the lead up to our wedding, we'd breath the biggest sigh of relief when we hung up the phone-- her expertise and foresight left us feeling totally taken care of and prepared. Even though we only hired her for day-of coordination, she always had time for us and our many questions leading up to the big day. During the weekend of our wedding she did SO MUCH-- she guided our "friendors" (we had friends acting as officiants, DJ, and MUA), kept our professional vendors on track, bought or found the last minute things we forgot, delivered our cakes, stayed on top of our difficult weather situation and ceremony plan B options, and put out a million little fires so quickly that I never had to know anything was off. She came early, stayed late, and did absolutely everything that needed to be done (even bussing tables, washing dishes, and heating up our late night snack). She was an invaluable liaison between us and the venue. In addition to managing the many practical logistics, she beautifully dealt with the emotional sides of the day (gracefully handling some difficult family situations, making sure that we had time after the ceremony to bask in our newlywed bliss one-on-one, truly listening to our priorities for the day). Hiring Emma as our DOC was like having a secure handrail on a steep staircase-- we're the ones who made the climb, but we felt so much safer having her to lean on along the way. Her pricing was great (she was by far the best price:expertise ratio I found) and her service was off the charts. I also want to give a special shout out to Emmalida, the assistant she worked with at our wedding. Even though we only met Emmalinda that weekend, she was immediately so loving and connected-- not only did she kick butt getting things done but she made us feel so cared about while she did it. Thank you both!!

Yoleine and her expert team at Twelve Events made our wedding spectacular. From the intricate…read morecandy table, to the stylish seating chart, to the Berkeley Bowl grocery bag party favors, Yoleine and her team never ceased to amaze us. Their attention to every little detail made our wedding personal and memorable. Unlike most women, I did not have an idea what I wanted for our wedding. I didn't know what color scheme I wanted, or anything like that. When I met with Yoleine, she was able to pick my brain and take my general ideas and run with them. Our wedding was far beyond what I could have ever dreamed up because of Yoleine's creativity and expertise. I was also on a budget, as most brides are, and Twelve Events was able to help us get all the special things for our wedding, such as the nice chair covers, the entertaining photo booth, the personalized name cards, the fancy apothecary jars for the candy table, etc. I cannot stress enough how much every bride needs Twelve Events if they do not want to be pulling out their hair. Leading up to our wedding, I had nothing to worry about. There were about a million and a half details that I had forgotten about, but Yoleine and her team took care of it all. The ceremony and reception flowed so smoothly and my husband and I were able to enjoy the whole day because we knew we could trust Twelve Events. We had a perfect day, and it was all thanks to Twelve Events.

From our very first conversation, Mary provided detailed insight, creative solutions, and cost effective ideas throughout the entire process.

She is willing to go to bat for you when wedding vendors are being difficult and get the the results you need to make your life easier. I would recommend Mary to any bride and groom wanting to plan their wedding or anyone wishing to plan an event. Mary is reachable, easy to work with, professional, and extremely helpful.

Sometimes you really have to work hard to not step on each other's toes as each of us only wants to do a superior job for our mutual client, the bride. Liz was a pleasure to work with. Yesterday's wedding was scheduled to be a pick-up rather than a delivery and demanded coordination on both of our parts. Prior to the event we had several conversations and a meeting and I found her to be very organized, detail oriented , an excellent communicator and a super nice gal as the cherry on the top! Liz was not only dedicated to her bride and groom, but was sensitive to making my job flow easily as well. I could not have asked for a better team effort.

Next thing you know, your ceremony is in front of the dying eucalyptus tree instead of the majestic pine; the bar is serving only aged, discontinued Zima; and your DJ is set up in the bathroom. All things that could happen in the mind of a groomzilla, people! But hiring Vignette Productions and Vivien was the best decision we ever made to ensure the month-of and day-of the wedding went as smoothly as possible. And by golly it did! It all went beautifully! Best day ever, in part thanks to Vignette Productions! I realized going in that, second to catering, the coordinator was probably going to be the most important role in our wedding logistics. People don't think they need them (I didn't at first), but my gah, they're crucial! Luckily we were required to have one by our venue. The coordinator is going to be the one that ensures that all the other vendors and all the wedding party members do what they are supposed to, and ensure that the happy couple is stress-free and relaxed on the big day. Coordinators are absolutely necessary! Vivien was recommended by one of my trustworthy groomsmaids and she was VERY on top of everything from the get-go. She was very responsive to all my issues and questions even while she was on vacation in Europe before our contract even started. I'm a HUGE emailer and I noticed some vendors preferred to talk on the phone or meet in person (WHICH I DREADED, and also from watching Judge Judy, emails are good records to watch your own behind lol) and Vivien was just as good with email as she was on the phone. So appreciated! I think the best thing she did was instill confidence in me that she would do everything necessary to bring to life the vision I had for my wedding day. I was very picky about a lot of things and I had A LOT of details to my wedding, and she really kept organized to make sure everything was executed amazingly. And since our venue was not all-inclusive (literally just a space) and everything from forks to flower arrangements had to be provided and organized, our wedding was no small feat. On top of that, the venue was historical so there were rules upon rules that had to be followed. She really worked with us, with the vendors, with the venue, and with our wedding party to ensure everything was perfect.The other vendors and the venue manager also said she was great to work with and organized, which I think they all appreciated greatly. I remember when I contacted a vendor about something close to the wedding, they were literally like, dude Vivien's got it covered haha. On top of her work ethic and organizational skills, Vivien's personality was very relaxed and calming and open. She had great suggestions that we took, but never imposed ideas on us like it was her wedding (which I would TOTALLY do--I'd be like B that's a terrible idea you're dumb). And on the wedding day, she was really good at moving things along, leaving us alone to have our fun, and rarely/only came to us with a couple of questions as we ran late on wedding day (our fault as we took too long to get ready!). She also presents herself really well and looks nice during rehearsal and wedding day. Most impressively, I'm still amazed how awesome she put together all our DIY and extensive decor we brought for our wedding. We had SO MUCH stuff that we wanted to display to make the wedding personal, which was all REALLY important to me, and she really pulled it off! We had her decorating our cake, arranging our centerpieces, putting a huge guestbook puzzle together, and sticking hundreds of paper hearts in the grass along the wedding aisle for crying out loud! Superwoman I tell you! Can't gush enough! Thank you Vivien! Sincerely, Groomzilla4Lyfe.
