She was incredibly helpful throughout and always candid with her advice, which we really appreciated. Her honesty and genuine concern made us feel confident that we were making the right decisions to bring our vision to life. What stood out most was her dedication -- even when she wasn't feeling well, she made sure we were fully taken care of and that everything stayed on track. On the day of the wedding, Jessica and Vanessa from her team were also so sweet and wonderful to work with. They made everything run smoothly and helped us truly enjoy the day without stress. The entire team was attentive, supportive, and a pleasure to work with from start to finish. We're so grateful for their help in making our wedding exactly what we imagined. Highly recommend!

We're so happy we chose Sushie (Ménage à Trois SJ) as our wedding coordinator! She was incredibly…read moreresponsive to emails and texts, always providing expert guidance and recommendations whenever we had questions. Our Zoom check-ins were consistently productive, leaving us feeling prepared and clear on what we needed to prioritize and what could wait until later in our timeline. She was also very helpful in giving advice on how to execute our personalized ideas to ensure they turned out well. She is extremely organized and gave us such peace of mind leading up to the big day, especially by coordinating exactly what we needed to bring versus what her team would handle. It was also a huge help that she had a variety of decor items we could borrow, like card boxes, frames, and easels, which saved us from having to buy them ourselves. She had worked with most of our vendors before and ensured that everyone was on the same page via email leading up to the day. On the wedding day, Sushie and her team checked in with us regularly to make sure we had everything we needed. We are so glad we chose her for her expertise and her can-do attitude!

As a wedding…read morephotographer, it's such a joy to work alongside a vendor who genuinely cares about their clients AND makes the entire wedding team feel valued. Their communication is seamless--everyone stays in the loop, which makes for a truly collaborative experience. I can't recommend this versatile planning team enough. When everyone's working together like a well-oiled machine, the wedding day flows beautifully and becomes something truly special!

As a wedding photographer, I've worked with countless planners over the years, and Leah and her…read moreteam at Two Perfect Events consistently stands out as one of the absolute best in the business. Their organizational skills make my job easier with realistic timelines that account for group portrait and couple's portrait times and they communicate all day of details I need well in advance so I know what to expect. Their communication is always responsive and clear about the couple's wedding needs. I never feel out of the loop or scrambling for information. When inevitable hiccups arise (because they always do), the TPE team handles them seamlessly without disrupting the flow or creating stress for anyone. Beyond logistics, Leah and her team are simply a joy to collaborate with on wedding days. They treat every vendor as a valued team member, fostering a collaborative atmosphere where everyone works together toward the couple's vision. They understand how photographers work and actively help create opportunities for beautiful moments rather than rushing through key shots. Their personable nature puts couples at ease, which translates to more authentic, relaxed photos. I always know that when TPE is the wedding planner, it's going to be a smooth wedding day where I can focus on capturing incredible images. I recommend them to couples without hesitation and genuinely look forward to every wedding we work together.

Wow! She was by far one of the best vendors we hired for our wedding day at the Rengstorff House…read more Her package included unlimited guidance via email, a few consultations, an on site meeting, as well as timeline creation and vendor communication etc. This was the perfect package for us because we wanted to plan some of our wedding day but did not want to hire a full planner. Prices are very reasonable and in my opinion worth every penny!! On our wedding day she set up all our decor and flowers! She even brought us our dinner and made sure we were taken care of the whole night. At the end of the night she gave me our car keys and it was loaded with all of our stuff. It was so nice to not have to worry about anything the day of and enjoy our special day. Please hire her if you are able to you will not regret it!

I cannot say enough kind things about Blanca! She was simply amazing and deciding on having a…read morecoordinator for our wedding was the best decision in the whole planning process. From our very first phone call through the whole wedding she was professional, efficient, and receptive to everything we imagined for our big day. She helped me create several timelines and ran communication with all of my vendors. Additionally, she helped me ask questions I didn't know that I needed to ask. She ran our rehearsal and ensured we stayed on task. She took all of my decorations for set up and was able to set everything up in the hour and a half our venue gave us. If you hire anyone for your wedding, hire Blanca as your wedding coordinator!

We worked with Amazae from the moment we knew we wanted to get married (before we got engaged,…read moretechnically. Ha). Both of us are extremely busy re: our jobs and knew that we wouldn't be able to dedicate enough time to truly planning an event of this scale. If you're on the fence, go with Amazae. My husband, before we hired Amazae, was on the fence of whether or not we needed planning services. I told him that if we did not hire someone that there would be no wedding. By the time we had finished our venue search, he knew that I was totally right re: the amount of help you get by leveraging someone else's expertise. You do this once (hopefully) in your life. Amazae does this all the time. Amazae knew all the ins and outs of every venue that we could possibly think of in the Bay Area, Carmel, and Napa. They were able to tell us who was beer and wine only, who had a 10pm end time because of noise ordinances, and who required you to use certain caterers that were $x per head. This will save you SO much time and save you visits to random places that don't meet your requirements. Vendor sourcing - they are super good at this re: figuring out (or making you figure out what you like) who matches your style for every vendor, then finding one that fits in your budget. Most importantly, they will make sure everyone shows up (join any wedding FB group and read some horror stories). They will help you with all of the contracting and the collection of COIs, etc. Again, this would have been IMPOSSIBLE for myself and my now husband. We literally do not have the hours in the day to do this. This team is on top of everything - they will chase you down if they need to for answers for pieces of your event. They can make anything happen - from the weirdest requests to the most mundane. They are so professional, and they really make your wedding super personal. Amazae designed and executed a beautiful event from beginning to end that felt so authentic to us. Day of, they were there to take care of everything, and it was truly a flawless day. We could not asked for a better planner re: Crystal, Kaila, and the rest of the team. We put full trust in them re: the design of this event and the day of. Example: I honestly did not know what florals were going to be there, but they were so stunning. The strength of the Amazae team is in their ability to bring you and your personality into an event that is mostly structured a certain way. They also make your day as stress-free as possible. I cannot say enough positive things about this team and their ability to make your wedding great. If you're down to hand things off to someone else, I would say hand it off to them. It will be better than what you could have come up with yourself.

Planning a wedding during a pandemic is hard, even a micro-wedding. You don't want to be cake…read moretasting or menu tasting, so you rely on experts. That's why we decided to hire an event planner for our daughter's wedding in January 2021. Even though it was a small backyard wedding, we wanted it to be memorable and elegant. We interviewed 3 different event planners, and got 3 rough quotes, all around the same ballpark. Amazae's quote, however, was the most detailed, breaking down a high & low range for each item (food, florals, rentals, photography, etc.) It was an easy choice to contract with them. Crystal came onsite for our first meeting, and I really didn't have a lot for her to go on. My daughter isn't the Pinterest type, so I just told Crystal the wedding colors and showed her pictures of the wedding gown and bridesmaid gowns. The rest of the planning was all done via zoom, emails, and a few phone calls. We worked mostly with Caitlin, who is an amazing planner. Each step along the way, she gave us several options to choose from. For example, she provided a list of 4 photographers, their quote for the day, their profile, their gallery, etc. Once all of our choices were made, she put together a design deck that gave us a preview of the entire wedding. It was more gorgeous than I envisioned. On the day of the wedding, Lisa came out to set everything up. She even picked up the florals and wedding cake to save us the delivery fees. It was a little hectic when I met her, and I probably spent 5 minutes with her showing her where everything was before we left for the church ceremony. And when we came back, she was driving off, leaving behind a magical transformation of yard. Everyone was stunned. The catering crew then took over and prepared a "Top Chef" level meal. And when they left, my kitchen was as clean as when they arrived. My husband commented, "Whatever we paid for this wedding, it was worth every penny." Haha. True. NOTE: the photos on this review are from my phone. The professional photos are not available yet.

I had…read morea general vision in my head, but I gave her a lot of artistic freedom and truly trusted her to create what would make me look my absolute best. She stayed within the lines of what I wanted while elevating it with her own expertise--and I was beyond thrilled with the outcome. I have somewhat difficult hair to style, and she worked with it as much as she could, never forcing it into something unrealistic. The final look came together beautifully. The winds picked up a lot throughout the day (way more than we expected!), and somehow my veil clip stayed perfectly secure the entire time. That alone felt like magic. I had so many people complimenting me on the street, and I can honestly say I've never felt more beautiful. I really appreciated how upfront she was about her needs and expectations ahead of time--there were no surprises on the day of. She was communicative and professional throughout the entire process, had me ready on time, and I never once felt rushed. She consistently checked in to make sure I felt good about the direction we were heading, which made the experience feel collaborative and reassuring. She was kind, personable, incredibly talented, and affordable. The only thing I was particularly specific about was my eyebrows--and we absolutely got them right!

Lindsay helped us to safely pull off our dream wedding during the COVID pandemic on 8/8/2020…read more We were able to have a 50 guest COVID wedding- outdoors with socially distanced tables, cocktail hour, dinner reception, lion dancers, food truck, Chinese tea ceremony, boba, cake & crepes, three outfit changes, same day edit, and sparkler exit! (Who would have thought we could right?) After our wedding, guests were telling us that our wedding was so amazing and that it almost felt like a "normal" wedding-- even with social distancing, masks and all! We met Lindsay when she was the social catering manager for the Crowne Plaza where we were going to have our original wedding reception pre-COVID. Lindsay is the type of person to rise to any occasion and she does it with a smile and positive attitude and is extremely detail-oriented and efficient. After we had to change our venue due to COVID, we reached out to Lindsay to hire her as our day of event coordinator for our wedding. Due to COVID, we weren't sure if we had to postpone our wedding, but once we figured out we could still have it, we had less than a MONTH to replan our entire wedding. Lindsay helped us so much and did a phenomenal job! She paid attention to every detail of our wedding and thought of things we didn't even think about. She helped us to create a great timeline, reach out and keep track of our vendors for our venue, and was available if we needed her for questions/consultation. She went above and beyond on our wedding day and this was an all day event. Our venue was set up perfectly, she created a beautiful sign-in, gift table, and sparkler table for us to display our sparklers for the end of the night. We gave her all the parts we wanted in our wedding and she seamlessly made everything happen. All of our transitions were perfect and she kept us on time with our schedule. We even had extra time to relax and enjoy our reception and food. Tip: At your wedding, you want to enjoy your day and let someone else (non-family member) to be in charge of the details and help facilitate what is going to happen It is the small details that matter and Lindsay paid attention to all of them and exceeded our expectations from start to finish-- she made our wedding look easy to pull-off, but there was so much involved. Lindsay is a truly genuine, loving person and she cares so much about her clients and was there to support us in any way we needed. Despite the pandemic, we trusted Lindsay with the biggest day of our lives and she was able to safely help make our dream wedding happen. I can honestly say our wedding would not have gone so well or have been able to happen without her. Lindsay is amazing in any coordinating role and I would trust her again to do any event in a heartbeat. Reach out to her and have her for your wedding coordinating needs-- you will not regret it :)

Our…read morewedding ended up being perfect but it certainly WOULD NOT have been perfect if it was not for Sophie. Sophie was on-top of everything and put together a very detailed day-of plan. We worked with her to review / update the plan and then make sure all of our vendors had the plan. She also did a detailed review of all of the vendor contracts + she also did a great job of asking us questions we had not thought to ask. Most importantly, Sophie was perfect on the day of the wedding. All members of her team were very professional. They also caught a number of vendor / venue mistakes and corrected them before we ever noticed. Lastly, she was flexible with the schedule. While we were visiting all of our guests, she was not pushy and let us take our time with our guests. I have seen other wedding coordinators start hustling the bride and groom from table to table and never thought that was cool. Sophie let us do our thing (it is our wedding after all) and then told us how we had to adjust the schedule once we were done talking with all of our guests. She then worked with the vendors to make sure they were all in line. My wife and I both HIGHLY recommend Sophie. She did an excellent job both preparing for the wedding and the day of the wedding!
