I loved having Erica help me with my wedding! I had my wedding at the Park Hyatt Aviara in…read moreCarlsbad, but I live out of state. It felt a bit overwhelming planning the wedding so far away, but Erica was on top of the details from the very beginning. What I feel was key to pulling off a successful wedding was communication, and Erica always listened to what I wanted and needed. Additionally, what really helped amidst the chaos of wedding planning was that Erica was consistently calm and always came with a positive attitude. Half of my guests were coming from out of state, and while I was worried about things going smoothly for all of them, Erica ensured that everything and every detail was in place so that none of my worries ever came to fruition. What I really appreciated was that throughout the entire weekend of the wedding, Erica always made sure to check in on me to guarantee any concerns or needs I had were taken care of while still making sure everything we had discussed previously happened the way I wanted it to. Not to mention, she recommended a DJ that really kept the fun going at my weekend, everyone was dancing!! I cannot recommend Erica enough to anyone getting married! It is obvious that not only is she dedicated to her work and her priority is making sure her clients are happy, but that she genuinely cares that your wedding day goes the way you want it to! Thank you so much Erica, and if I were to do it all over again, I would want you by my side helping!

Art of Joy is a professional, precise and detail oriented event planning duo. They executed our…read morewedding exactly as we had envisioned. Patricia and Deanna are very personable and were extremely attentive to our needs. They do a great job of responding via email, text or phone call. They have an abundance of referrals and vendor resources at their disposal. We trusted their eye for aesthetics and they delivered by optimizing our venue space. During the actual wedding, they were very professional and directive ensuring that the itinerary was right on schedule. When an issue arose during the wedding, these ladies took care of business, allowing my wife and I to enjoy the festivities. Art of Joy is the bomb!!!

Upon deciding that I needed a wedding planner, she was the first on my list to meet with. We hit it off once again and after starting off the wedding planning process with a lot of stress, I became excited again to plan with her help. Throughout the year, Patricia kept me on track with not only the deadlines, but with my vision for the big day. It was so nice to have someone keeping me organized in the time of Pinterest and Wedding blogs. On the day of, Patricia and her assistant rocked it! I know of nothing that may or may not have gone right. She handled a "wedding crasher" with professionalism and once again... kept us on schedule. I couldn't have pulled this off without her!

It's worth every penny! We had several vendors.. Caterers, Florist, Cake baker,etc.., and it was great to NOT be the go to person for all of these people on the day of Sam knew how to line up everything for our wedding and I trusted her Completely. SAM was always communicating with me through emails or text message and made should everything was taking care of for our wedding. Sam will always be a part of our lives forever.

I decided to do the day of the wedding planning and coordinating package with Sam and attempt to do…read moreeverything else myself. Sam was an absolutely darling though and she did not allow me to be completely alone in this endeavor! Starting from a month before our wedding she would constantly check in with me and try to keep me on task. She met with me several times before hand and even met with me and the venue team on site to do a walk through. The rehearsal went smooth, even though it was just before one of the stormiest days of the year so far! She was very adaptable and we formulated a plan B really quickly for in case it rained (which it did), she helped talk me through practical decisions that needed to be made, she gave me insight on things to consider that I wouldn't have thought of alone and her loving caring presence will definitely be your stable rock in a storm that is wedding planning as it was for me. The day of our wedding was chaotic. It was stormy, some things went wrong but I was honestly never the wiser. I was able to fully enjoy and be present at my wedding and not worry because Sam had it all covered. She took care of way more than I could have ever expected or done on my own and even though I tried to tip as generously as I could, it didn't feel like enough. I gave her so much to do and she handled it with grace and ease, she was never worried or stressed no matter how much of a mess or how unprepared I was. She even took photos which was exceedingly valuable especially since the photographer left early. So it was nice to have some beautiful photos to post while we were waiting for the photos to be processed. She always reminded me to not get stressed myself and it just an amazingly calming presence. You will not regret going with Sam as your spirit guide to your wedding, I completely adore her and thank my lucky stars that I had her.

We are so grateful we hired Megan as our wedding coordinator! Our wedding day timeline was…read moreabsolutely perfect, and everything flowed seamlessly from start to finish. We had so many guests comment on how beautiful everything was set up and how smoothly the day ran. Megan truly went above and beyond, and we couldn't recommend her more!

When we first started planning our wedding, I wasn't entirely sure if we needed a day-of…read morecoordinator. I'm naturally very hands-on and like to be involved in every detail, so the thought of handing over control felt a little nerve-wracking. But looking back now, hiring Megan was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the moment we brought her on board, Megan was organized, communicative, and so easy to work with. She asked thoughtful, detailed questions that made me realize there were a lot of little things that had slipped through the cracks, things I wouldn't have thought about until it was too late. She truly helped me see the bigger picture while still caring about the smallest details. On the day of our wedding, Megan absolutely held it down at our reception venue. We had 238 guests and she managed everything with calm confidence and precision. She coordinated all of our vendors, made sure everyone was where they needed to be, and somehow still kept me in the loop without overwhelming me. It was such a relief knowing I could fully trust her to handle it all. She paid attention to detail down to the T. Every element of the setup, from décor placement to timing transitions , flowed seamlessly. You could tell she genuinely cared about bringing our vision to life exactly as we imagined it. She even helped me create a full wedding timeline leading up to the big day, and thanks to her, everything ran right on schedule. I'm someone who has a hard time handing off responsibility, but I'm so glad I took the leap and allowed Megan to take charge. Because of her, I was able to actually be present , to take in every moment without worrying about what was happening behind the scenes. I'll never forget the feeling of walking into our reception space and realizing how effortlessly everything came together. That peace of mind is truly priceless. If you're planning your wedding or any big event and wondering whether you need a coordinator, take this as your sign: HIRE ONE and HIRE MEGAN . She's professional, dependable, calm under pressure, and genuinely passionate about what she does. Coordinators like her are rare to find these days, and I'm endlessly thankful that she was a part of our day.

Clemence is AMAZING. As someone who is usually the most organized person in the room, the idea of…read morerelinquishing control of the most important day of my life was difficult. Until we met Clemence. When we started working with her for 'month-of' wedding planning, I was so reassured (more than I've ever been!) that everything would be taken care of and we were in good hands. She went above and beyond for us in many ways, but it's especially worth noting since we had a couple vendors (including the venue!) that were not the easiest to work with and lacked her fabulous communication skills. I would recommend The Perfect Pair & Clemence to absolutely anyone in San Diego looking for an amazing wedding planner at a competitive price. You will get everything you wanted and more!

Where do we even begin? Before hiring Clémence, we met over a video call, getting to know each…read moreother to make sure we worked well together. We think this is an essential step in choosing any wedding planner, since ideas need to be communicated in both directions. Being on the same page about the vision of your wedding is key. It did not take long at all for us to know that she was the absolute best choice for us. Clémence is incredibly friendly and holds herself to such a high standard, and that shows in the work she does. She has an entire process for planning that includes timelines of when things are to be done, vendors are to be booked, and more. Everything is laid out clearly, and she checks in regularly to make sure things are on track. These timelines start from several months before the wedding and go all the way down to the day itself. She makes it known that she wants your day to be exactly how you want it and works hard to achieve that. Whenever we had a new idea or a modification to an existing one, she was always open to hearing it and working to make it happen. We went with an Italian garden-style theme for our wedding, and Clémence executed that vision perfectly. We somehow seemed to be on the same wavelength about everything. Not only did she follow through on executing our ideas, but she also incorporated her own input that fit into the wedding and expanded on it perfectly. As first-time bride and groom, we struggled with knowing how to budget properly. Clémence helped us spend in places where it made the most sense for us and save on things we didn't need. Bit of a random anecdote, but we wanted to have pizza at the end of our afterparty. Our initial search was going to have us spending hundreds of dollars to have standard pizzas delivered to our venue. Clémence saved the day when she found an even closer shop that made heart-shaped pizzas for a fraction of the cost. As Clémence has been doing this for a while now, she's gained rapport with several vendors and was able to speak to the quality of their work and service. This took so much pressure off of us, since we didn't merely have to trust the sales pitch of whatever vendors we happened to find on our own. Once we had our vendors locked in, Clémence took care of managing timelines for each, such as when to meet with them, choosing items for the wedding, and payment schedules. Not only does she work her hardest when she's by your side, she also has your back when you don't even notice. Nearly a month after the wedding, we found out that our venue's staff was incredibly rude and unhelpful to our vendors. This forced everyone to work at 110% to compensate for the lack of assistance. However, the way Clémence handled this was with such grace and professionalism that we didn't notice, nor did any of our guests, that things weren't running smoothly. Her integrity is truly inspiring. As cheesy as it may sound, we've gained a genuine lifelong friend in Clémence. The influence and quality of her work extend far beyond wedding planning. If it wasn't clear already, we cannot recommend Clémence enough. Her work speaks for itself and was by far the best investment we made for our wedding.

JOLENE IS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!! So I was looking and looking…read morefor a florist in a wide area and I couldn't find anybody that really spoke to me then I spoke with Jolene and I was a little skeptical but she knew what she was talking about so I trusted her and she made me very calm on the day by calling me the day before to make sure and the flowers absolutely blew me away so beautiful I can't even put into words how amazingly well the flowers fit with the wedding g at a super great price Jolene is an amazing florist

After talking to several florists in both LA and Temecula for my upcoming wedding, and after 3(!)…read moreof them flaked on me, I found Jolene at the Dutch Flower via Yelp and I am SO glad I did! I'm very picky about florals and had a very specific vision for my bouquets and centerpieces (not typical wedding flowers), and after sitting down for 45 minutes with Jolene and showing her my Pinterest pics, she sent me back a detailed proposal and quote of what she would create for our wedding, and it was even better than I could've imagined. Not only were her prices way more affordable than everyone else's, her proposal was much more detailed and beautiful than any other one I had received--she just "got it." She understood my vision of having a rustic enchanted garden outdoorsy wedding with succulents and ranunculus, and then made it a million times better--it's not surprising that she's not just a florist, she treats floral arrangement as an art (and has arrangements in museums). You can see that in all of her works-- they are much more creative and interesting and beautiful than other standard florists. Plus she was fantastic to work with, professional, and very generous. I wanted to use our own mason jars for some of the centerpieces, so she went out of her way the day before my wedding to come and pick them up for me. My bridesmaids and I absolutely loved our bouquets, and the groomsmen their boutinierres, plus Jolene even threw in an extra toss bouquet for free (something other places would charge another $75 for!). I got many compliments on our centerpiece arrangements, and she even gave us some free extra flowers just to spruce up any empty corners of our wedding site. Of all the things I was worried about not coming together for our wedding, I knew I could relax about the flowers & that she would do a great job on them--and that in itself was priceless. Indeed, she was amazing. I highly recommend anybody getting married in the nearby area to use the Dutch Flower!
