I worked with Laura for the last 9 months for my wedding in Rancho Santa Fe Ca. We had about 125 guests. The wedding was flawless.

This review is extremely overdue but I'm finally getting around it. I'm so glad we hired Laura and…read moreher team at Fawn Events for our wedding in Oceanside. It was the best decision we had made. We hired her upon the recommendation of one of my friends. Her design vision, network of vendors, sweet and calming demeanor, and quick thinking led us to have a stress-free rainy wedding. I was worried about the forecast of the wedding weekend (rain in southern california?!) but she quickly found solutions to deal with the rain and coordinated everything perfectly. There are so many moving parts to wedding planning, and having someone who you trust handling that is worth it. It truly was our dream wedding. Thank you, Laura!

Abby is an absolute rockstar wedding planner! Where do we even start? From our very first call with…read moreAbby, we knew she was different. She wasn't just trying to sell us a package - she genuinely wanted to get to know us as a couple, our story, and the kind of vibe we wanted our wedding to have. That first impression stuck with us. Over the next two years of planning, Abby and her team brought our ideas to life and helped to make our dream wedding a reality. Design: We told Abby we wanted an "East Meets West" theme that blended our cultures in a way that felt modern and elegant, a tough balance that could've easily come off as cheesy in if executed poorly. But Abby nailed it of course, her design sense is unreal. From color palettes and floral choices to the way she tied together modern décor with cultural elements, everything was cohesive and elevated. She has an incredible eye for detail and always found creative, out-of-the-box ways to make our ideas work. The end result was a wedding that felt truly felt like us! Communication: Throughout the entire process, Abby and her team were consistently on top of communication. She kept us updated between meetings, sent friendly reminders, and made sure we were always aligned on next steps. It's easy for things to slip through the cracks when planning something this big, but Abby kept everything organized and stress-free. We never once felt out of the loop, she was always calm, professional, and genuinely fun to talk to. Vendor Management: Abby's vendor management skills are next level. She has deep connections and knows everyone in the wedding world. When we needed vendors for flowers, desserts, or décor, she already had a curated list of the best options with pros and cons ready for us. Some of our vendors were booked more than a year in advance, but Abby and her team were always on top of follow-ups, contracts, and logistics. By the time the big day arrived, every vendor was perfectly coordinated. It really felt like we had assembled the Avengers of wedding vendors! Working Style: We can't say enough about how enjoyable it was to work with Abby and her team. They're so friendly, positive, and genuinely care about their couples. You can tell they love what they do and that they actually enjoy working together - it felt like they were more of friends than coworkers. Whenever unexpected hiccups came up (and they always do in wedding planning), Abby handled them with grace and a sense of humor. She's done hundreds of weddings, so she always had the experience to guide us to make informed decisions. It was so fun working with the entire team and it made the stressful process of wedding planning feel less stressful. Execution: This is where Abby and her team truly shine. Planning is one thing, but executing flawlessly is another and they did it all seamlessly. From coordinating vendors to keeping our timeline on track, they were everywhere and nowhere all at once, putting out fires behind the scenes before we even knew they existed. The day flowed perfectly. At the end of the night, we were blown away to see how they had already packed up all our belongings, made sure our ride was ready, and tied up every little loose end without us lifting a finger. That level of thoughtfulness really showed how much they care. Budget & Financial Management: The truth is weddings are expensive, and it's easy for costs to spiral if you're not careful. Abby was phenomenal at keeping everything organized and transparent. She tracked every expense, set reminders for upcoming milestone payments for vendors, and even handled tipping for all our vendors so we didn't have to stress about it on the big day. What really stood out was her honesty and foresight -- anytime a decision could push us beyond our budget, she proactively flagged it and walked us through the financial trade-offs before we committed. Thanks to her meticulous tracking and planning, there were zero surprises at the end. Everything was clearly outlined and accounted for, which gave us complete peace of mind. In short, Abby and her team are the best in the business. They bring design expertise, organization, and heart to every step of the process. You'll see what we mean once you have the first introductory call with her. She's the kind of planner who truly loves what she does, doesn't settle for anything less than perfect, and it shows in every detail. We highly recommend her for anyone looking for a top class wedding planner!

My fiancé and I booked Jazmine in 2025 and upon her 3 month out mark we had booked her for, we became privy to the negative reviews, messaged her about them and have been ghosted since. We reached out to the contractually agreed upon content creator and learned that she had terminated her services with Jazmine due to her glaring lack of professionalism and never even knew about our wedding date. Needless to say we have promptly fired Jazmine and will be seeking legal action to recoup our deposit. Scamming people or doing shotty work on the biggest event of their lives is morally bankrupt behavior and I hope others can avoid Jazmine at all costs. The only positives that have come out of this is dodging the bullet that comes with working with her.

The owner (Jazmine) is incredibly negligent. We booked bundled services with her, reminded her…read moreabout the bundled services and were told they were paid for in full. Only for us to find out, from the content coordinator, that she had never been paid and Jazmine had instead pocketed the extra money for said bundled services. When we confronted Jazmine about this she stopped responding to our messages. Either way, she actively made our wedding coordination 10 times more difficult than it should have been. The only reason we hired her was for peace of mind and I am now more stressed than ever. Save yourself the headache and find someone else. If you don't, you will likely have find someone competent to at a later point anyways.

Our wedding took place on February 4, 2024, at the Mission Inn Hotel in Riverside. Due to a tight budget, I decided to plan all the pre-wedding details myself (which, while rewarding, was extremely exhausting -- I wouldn't necessarily recommend it!). However, I knew I would need a professional coordinator for the day of the wedding itself. Also, the Mission Inn Hotel has a preferred vendor list, and by choosing vendors from that list, we were able to avoid additional vendor fees. To be honest, I initially chose Ana because she was the most affordable option on their list. But after working with her, I realized she was absolutely essential to the success of our wedding day! Ana has many years of experience in the wedding industry and is incredibly knowledgeable about every step of the process -- she even holds a minister's license. On the day of the wedding, she flawlessly managed the timeline, handled unexpected issues with ease, and allowed us to fully enjoy every precious moment without stress. I can confidently say that without Ana's support, our wedding would not have been as perfect as it was. As first-time bride and groom who had no prior experience with wedding planning, we wholeheartedly recommend Ana as your wedding coordinator. If you are looking for someone reliable and professional, trust me -- you will be so thankful you chose her!
