We used I-Do... for both day-of coordination and florals for our wedding at Scripps Seaside Forum,…read moreand it was one of the best decisions we made! Elena and her team were absolutely phenomenal and made our wedding day so much more enjoyable and stress-free. Day-of Coordination: Elena stood out not only on the wedding day but also in the months leading up to it. She was incredibly helpful during the planning process--offering thoughtful insight into creating a seamless timeline and even helping with ideas for decor and place settings tailored to our outdoor, beachy (and occasionally windy!) wedding. She thought of every detail, from preparing us in advance to get those dreamy photos (like the first kiss and cake cutting) to ensuring everything ran on schedule without a hitch. On the day, Elena was a true lifesaver. From the rehearsal to the ceremony and reception, I never once had to worry about where I needed to be or what was next. She kept everything moving smoothly, pointing me in the right direction while allowing me to fully enjoy the company of our guests and the magic of the day. And she always made sure we were taken care of (never without a drink in hand!). Her leadership and attention to detail made it all so effortless for us. Florals: Melissa tackled all of our floral arrangements, and I couldn't have been happier with how they turned out! Working within my limited budget, she brought my vision to life with stunning florals that perfectly matched our style and the seaside setting. Melissa truly understood the look I was going for, and her creativity and expertise made every arrangement stand out beautifully. She even gave me a calming pep talk before I walked down the aisle, which was such a thoughtful touch during a nerve-wracking moment. If you are considering a wedding at Scripps Seaside Forum (or anywhere else), I cannot recommend I-Do highly enough. Elena is an incredible coordinator who will make your wedding day run flawlessly, and Melissa will make your vision a reality. Thank you, Elena and Melissa, for helping make our wedding day unforgettable!

Melissa was incredible - she helped us plan our reception at Seabird Resort and I truly feel like…read moreshe went above and beyond- in logistics and emotional support! I booked her early and we initially just did a couple meetings to discuss our vision and needs regarding coordination, vendor contracts and florals since we did not need a full-planning service, only partial. She was always upfront and gave me honest opinions especially when it came to where to splurge and save, and what could look good and what wouldn't. The last 2 months is where she really shined, helping us follow up with vendors on details, setting deadlines for me to book rentals, reviewing contracts and constantly doing sanity checks when I needed it. The day of, she came extremely prepared, everything flowed smoothly (except some technical issues on part of the venue) and she was great at going with the flow and just letting the vibe and natural mood of the day go, and fixing whatever problems I threw at her. We also had her as our florist and she truly out did herself- her prices were incredibly reasonable and she handled everything like a champ when her assistant got sick the day of the reception. She also took my back and forth floral design suggestions and changes very well, as I am quite particular on details in some areas and deferred to her expertise in others. Honestly could not have done it without her and she was without a doubt my #1 worth it vendor! Would absolutely hire her for all your wedding planning and floral needs.

I had sooooooo many tiny details and a lot of different vendors to coordinate. Mary & Laura got everything done flawlessly! There was a miscommunication on farmtables not having linen and Laura immediately got the linen for me. I had so much decor and it was all placed perfectly. Every detail was exactly as it should be! They also have the best vendors - they got pipe & drape for me, they got a white dance floor for me, they got marquee letter for me, their DJ Jason Lyons was so chill and had great vibes, and Jerri their florist is THE BEST! EcoCaters the caterer was also amazing and delicious! I am a serious Type A bride who had every tiny detail planned and made complicated, and Epic Events was able to bring my vision to life! I had a friend get married who was more laidback, and her wedding experience was exactly what she wanted it to be too. :) I highly, HIGHLY recommend Epic Events as your coordination team because they can do everything!

As a very type A bride, I was especially impressed by the attention to detail at our event and how he anticipated our needs throughout the day. Our grand exit was even way more fun than we imagined--they had our guests create an arch with their glow sticks for us to run through!

Everyone always says something goes wrong on wedding day, but I truly cannot think of anything that went wrong. 10/10 recommend the Lavish team!

We cannot say enough great things about the Lavish Wedding Team, and especially Gabriela! From the…read moremoment we met Gabriela, it was clear that she wasn't just a wedding planner--she was someone deeply invested in making our wedding day a reflection of us as a couple. She took the time during our very first meeting to ask about our personal story--how we met, how my husband proposed, and what made our relationship unique. This was something no other planner had done, and it immediately made us feel like we were in the hands of someone who truly cared. She has become more than just a wedding planner, and is now one of our friends. Our wedding was a beautiful blend of two distinct cultures, and Lavish went above and beyond to ensure that every detail honored both of our traditions in a way that felt seamless and cohesive. Gabriela found creative ways to incorporate elements of each culture into the decor, ceremony, and reception, making our celebration not just special, but incredibly personal. Her thoughtful approach to merging these cultural elements was absolutely perfect, and we were so grateful for the care she took to ensure everything felt authentic and meaningful. On top of all that, the Lavish team was incredibly attentive to every last detail. There were a few last-minute challenges on the day of the wedding, and they handled them with such grace and professionalism that we didn't have to worry about a thing. If you're looking for a wedding planning team who will go above and beyond to make your day as special as it can be, look no further than Lavish.

Not only…read moredid they put together our perfect day, but they helped us put together the best team of wedding vendors who all came together to make our wedding so special. We put our trust into them entirely to help guide us through the process and design the most stunning wedding, even when we were planning from across the country! Molly and Rachel helped us plan both the welcome party and the wedding, and both went perfectly. They were so communicative with both us and our many questions, and with the rest of the vendors. Almost a year later, we are still getting comments from friends and family about how beautiful our day was, from the venue to the food to all the decor, and we owe it all to Tres Chic Affairs!

The best wedding planers ever!!!!!!…read more I can't say enough great things about Molly and Rachel at Tres Chic Affairs! If you want an elegant, chic wedding with zero stress, these are the planners you need. They planned the most beautiful wedding in Palm Springs, and it was absolutely everything I dreamed of and more. Everyone tells you something will go wrong on the wedding day and to go with the flow - I was fully prepared for that, but literally was PERFECT. From day one, they made me feel like I was planning my wedding with two of my best friends who just happen to be experts at throwing the perfect event. The day of the wedding I had so much fun getting ready with friends I didn't even think about a single logistic because I knew everything was handled. Molly communicates so well and kept me in the loop every step of the way without overwhelming me. It never felt like there was a problem or a big deal with anything; they just handled it all, making everything feel super easy and stress-free so I could enjoy my day. Things I mentioned a year ago - Molly would bring up months later and I was shocked at how she could remember everything. They really took my vision and brought it to life in the most stunning way. It was clear they were totally focused on making sure everything was exactly what I wanted, and it turned out perfect. I'm so grateful to Molly and Rachel for making our wedding day exactly what we dreamed of. It was honestly perfect, and I couldn't have asked for a better team to bring it all together. If you want a flawless, chic wedding without the stress, these ladies are your dream team!

Worked with The Wild Thyme Co for my 10/18 180 person wedding at the Darlington House! Through…read morethem, we booked our rentals with Event Party Rentals with whom they partner. We worked with Rachel and Jordan and booked about 1.5 years in advance. They were communicative and very flexible with my multitude of changes throughout the year and a half working with them. I was even able to add a cake tasting and cake later on and change certain rentals very close to wedding date. They were patient and accommodating and willing to make just about anything work! My guests were incredibly happy with the food and the service, and my husband and I absolutely loved the waiter assigned to us on wedding day! The only thing that went wrong was half of our string lights (required by DH) went out for the entirety of the seated meal due to an installation error. I'm not docking any points from rating as this was a genuine mistake and WTC reached out to their EPR contact right away to have them return to site and get it fixed. It did take about an hour+ to resolve but WTC was very apologetic and even provided a a partial refund for the lighting. One thing we were bummed about was that cake service occurred during the main dance floor time and if cake wasn't accepted from the server, it was a missed opportunity. According to my guests, about 90% of people didn't get cake as it wasn't left on tables and most people were on the dance floor. 2.5/3 sheets cakes remained at the end of the night. One big win was TWC was so organized and accommodating for the many dietary restrictions/allergies we threw at them and served our guests appropriately. We received no complaints and guests and family said it was handled seamlessly! All in all, my husband and I were so pleased with our decision to work with WTC and will forever cherish the role they played in making our day amazing!

The week leading up to the big day, she took care of all those nagging little details with finesse. I had a couple of annoying vendor things come up and she stepped in and straightened everything out for me! It was great that I didn't have to deal with it when I had family flying in from all over the world! She has an incredible attention to detail and went through my catering contract with a fine-toothed comb, finding weird little mistakes they made that I never would have noticed! Awesome! She also has a very artistic/creative eye and set up my venue/ceremony spot beautifully. I was a total ditz on my wedding day, and she kept me on-track and on-time the entire day. It was so great to not have to think; she did it for me! :) I recommended her to a friend who is getting married and she is kicking butt on her wedding, too! To top it all off, you couldn't meet a sweeter gal. I just adore her. If you are getting married, I couldn't recommend Erin highly enough.

Heather was wonderful from our very first call, and we appreciated having the flexibility to choose between partial or full planning. During our first in-person meeting, she helped us identify what mattered most in selecting our venue. We ultimately chose partial planning based on our venue, Kijamii Overlook at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, and she found us incredible vendors to complete our day. As we got closer to the wedding, I couldn't have imagined how grateful I would be to have Heather to rely on. She kept us on track with every little detail and was always ready with a thoughtful opinion whenever we had questions. On the day of our wedding, Heather and Ava were absolutely fantastic! I was able to trust them completely to set up our decorations exactly as I had envisioned, while we enjoyed getting ready and sharing our first look.

Heather and Ajji worked with a high level of attention to detail to get everything set up, which allowed us to truly relax and soak in the entire wedding weekend, from the rehearsal through the big day.
