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.

I am not surprised at all to see so many 5 star reviews on Kris's account! She was a dream to work…read morewith! We hired Kris as our day of coordinator and she made everything so EASY for us. She is extremely professional and everyone from the bridal party, to parents, to venue staff commented on how great she is! We actually interviewed a handful of day of coordinators before choosing Kris. After our virtual meeting with her, we knew we had found the perfect combination of smart, professional, direct, and caring! She did so much work behind the scenes to make sure the big day went as planned. I was impressed with how she kept the whole day on schedule and kept everyone in the loop and happy. If you want to make your wedding day stress free, please hire Kris! We cannot recommend her enough!

Her day of coordination was impeccable and she let us truly enjoy our wedding by taking everything into her hands. Hiring Kris was the best decision we ever made!

We hired Ashley to be the day-of coordinator for our wedding, but she really went above and beyond…read moreher call of duty. A full two months before the wedding she was working out our wedding timeline with us via google doc. Her template made the whole crazy event seem manageable and organized, and allowed us to solidify the schedule of our wedding day quite precisely. Throughout the time leading up to our wedding, she helped us plan seating arrangements, procession order, and worked with our caterers (ArtQuest Catering) to organize their role within the schedule. Over a week before the wedding she sent us a to-the minute timeline of the day, and worked with us as we tweaked it right up until the day before. Despite being, as I mentioned, our day-of-coordinator, Ashley literally ran our rehearsal session the day before the wedding. She was on site before we arrived, took us through every step of the ceremony schedule, made sure everyone knew what they were responsible for, coached us our walking speed, asked pertinent questions, etc. On the day of the wedding, she seemed to be everywhere at once, managing what was a pretty complicated, orchestral event. We were not the easiest clients- our wedding was packed with a ton of tiny specific events, like surprise serenades, and a very short window for sunset photos, and a rock performance that included the bride and groom. Ashley was there through it all making sure we knew where we were headed next, that we were on time, and properly hydrated. Seriously, we were super stressed planning for this wedding, but on the day it happened everything went so smoothly and that was in large part to the care and precision and professionalism that Ashley brought to her work coordinating the day. Thanks for making our wedding day easy and worry-free and fabulous.

Amazing, Great and Outstanding! That's my description of the customer services I received from…read moreAshley. From the date I hired Ashley she was kind and super helpful with the overall planning. She shared her recommended vendor's list for transportation, draping, music, floral designs, etc, which helped me A LOT. She was so nice she even planned a surprised slideshow with the Maid of Honor and Mother of the Bride, providing them with additional options and suggestions based on her expertise in the area. Best decision ever, was to hired Ashley Mayo and her team ! I email her about 50 times (not kidding LOL), and every time she was nicer, polite and her responses were always on time!. She made the planning process a lot easier because she is without a doubt a Subject matter expert when it comes to weddings. I met with her about 2-3 times, explained by vision of my dream wedding and she was super responsible providing timeline, suggestions, contacting vendors, coordinating set up with the venue a few weeks before the wedding, in other words making sure everything run perfect for the day off. BEST PART... I did not worry at all the Day Off the wedding! She had it all covered, I was able to enjoy our wedding, decoration was set perfectly, all vendors were on time, she was even able to provide the final envelopes with payments to vendors so I didn't even have to worry about that. Ashley brought her assistance and they both made our day incredibly beautiful. Adore Wedding design team were polite and nice to our guest and I just want to THANK Ashley and her assistance for her services. So, if you need to hire a wedding planner, you should definitely contact Ashley.

Where do I even start!? Bryce completely blew us away! As the groom, I'll admit, I went into…read morewedding planning with the mindset of "we've got this, we can handle it all." I was honestly hesitant about hiring a planner because I didn't fully understand what they did. I quickly learned that I also did not know what it took to elevate a wedding from "just nice" to one where every single guest felt special, pampered and truly taken care of, from the jaw-dropping decor to the flawless floor plan. Bryce absolutely exceeded all expectations. She was incredibly patient and attentive to every single idea my wife and I threw her way. Bryce came to each meeting so prepared, calm and confident that we completely trusted her judgment and execution. Her organizational skills were top-notch, every action item was clear, graciously presented and backed with kindness. We felt like she was our champion, advocating for us with vendors and even the venue! And the best part? She made us feel like we were her only clients throughout the entire process. If you're planning a wedding in Southern California (or anywhere), you simply have to work with Bryce! Months after our wedding, my wife is still reaching out to her for random advice and she has just been so helpful. Bryce is an absolute gem and she won't let you down!

Bryce is an absolute DELIGHT to work with. Anyone planning a wedding will be so relieved to have…read moreher on their team - I can honestly say this was a stress-free wedding planning experience because of her. We could not have imagined a more perfect wedding day. No detail was too small, and we had LOTS to consider with our diverse array of guests: from braille menu cards to sign language interpreters, various signage needs, and coordinating at least a dozen excellent vendors, Bryce helped us manage expectations and stay mindful of our budget through clear communication at every step of the way. She even sent us the most beautiful bouquet of flowers when we suffered an unimaginable loss two weeks before the wedding. We will forever be grateful for Bryce making our entire experience excellent and look forward to seeing all the wedding magic she continues to make for future couples.

I truly cannot say enough good things about Godoy Events and working with Alana and Lauren for my…read more30th birthday party. I had a VERY specific vision for the night and they completely understood it from the beginning and helped bring everything together better than I could have imagined. From all of the planning leading up to the party to the actual day, they were both amazing. Alana made the whole process feel so seamless and I always felt like my vision was understood and in good hands. You can tell she genuinely cares about her clients and wants the event to be just as special as you do. There were even things they brought to my attention during the planning process that I hadn't thought of (which is saying a lot because I'm very Type A and genuinely thought I had thought of everything ). They had me consider little details I never would have thought about on my own and it ended up making such a difference. And Lauren was seriously ON IT. She was so organized, responsive, and thorough with all of the coordination leading up to the party. On the day of, she went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of the entire time. I never felt like I had to check on anything or make sure something was getting done because she was already on top of it. There were even things that came up the day of that they handled and solved before I ever knew there was an issue. That alone was worth everything to me. I was actually able to enjoy my own party, be present with everyone, and take it all in instead of worrying about what was going on behind the scenes. Alana and Lauren make such a great team and I genuinely don't know how I would have pulled off this party without them. Everything came together sooo beautifully and the night was everything I hoped for and more. I cannot recommend having an event planner or at least a day-of coordinator enough. It is worth every single penny and working with Godoy Events made me understand exactly why. I'm so grateful I trusted them with such a special milestone and already know exactly who I'll be calling when it's time to plan my wedding!!

We had an incredible experience with Stephanie Wooding and Best Day Ever. From the very beginning,…read moreStephanie brought the perfect mix of calm confidence, deep expertise, and genuine care. We spoke with a few planners before deciding, and what stood out about Stephanie immediately was how organized and experienced she was -- she asked the right questions, anticipated things we didn't even know to consider yet, and made us feel like we were in very capable hands. Throughout the planning process, Stephanie was thoughtful, responsive, and solution-oriented. She helped us stay on track without ever making it feel stressful, and she consistently brought us back to what mattered most: having a wedding that felt like us and actually enjoying the experience along the way. About a month before the wedding, we transitioned to her associate Jenn Anderson as our day-of coordinator -- and we truly couldn't have asked for a smoother handoff. Stephanie set Jenn up with all the context and details, and Jenn executed everything flawlessly. She was professional, calm, and on top of every moving part, which allowed us (and our families) to be fully present and actually enjoy the day. Multiple guests commented on how seamless everything felt and how amazing the coordination was -- and we completely agree. If you're looking for a planning team that is organized, experienced, kind, and genuinely committed to making your day feel easy and joyful, Best Day Ever is it. We are so grateful to Stephanie and Jenn for helping make our wedding the best day ever.

There are truly not enough words to describe how great our experience working with Stephanie on our…read morewedding was absolutely incredible. She was with us every step of the way and made sure I was reminded of the little details I may have forgotten or didn't think I needed to worry about as early. She was so personable and kind and honestly became a friend by the end of the planning. She was always super calm and organized with every step in the long process of wedding planning. The day of was seamless and even with some little weather issues she made everything way less stressful and ensured everything was set with all of the vendors before I even got there. I can go on and on about how amazing Stephanie was and HIGHLY recommend her for your wedding coordinating! Love you Steph!!

If I could give Julia and her team more than 5 stars I would. That's how valuable of a service they…read moreprovide. I hired Julia for the "month of" package and it was seriously the best investment. Julia is a total professional and super easy to work with. Julia keeps calm, which kept me calm. She is able to be firm when necessary to make sure everything goes according to plan but she is always respectful in her dealings with her clients and all vendors. I had full faith in her ability and I knew she always had my best interest at heart. I'm in project management for my career so I was curious just how much help I would actually need in the coordination department. But Julia's insight and experience proved to be absolutely invaluable. There were a lot of moving parts for my formal wedding - very specific furniture and lighting plans, multiple music changes from musician to dj etc., and very detailed timelines that were pretty tight - I was demanding a lot from everyone involved that they would be on their A game to make it happen. There is close to no one I would trust to manage all of these moving pieces - except Julia! She was on it all from the first meeting til the end of the after party on the big day, which allowed me to relax and enjoy the evening with my husband, family and friends. I had a very specific vision that would not have come to life with out her!!! Frankly, they should be charging double for their services - they truly go above and beyond and add that much value to the planning process and big day. Julia is the absolute best person to have on your team, I can not recommend Events Inspired highly enough!

She also has a great eye for design and is good at leading couples in a cohesive direction. In a world full of Pinterest this skill has now come in hand more than a few times. From a vendors perspective, she is as nice and caring as she is organized. You can see that she puts her heart into everything she does and I think that is what sets her apart.
