I wanted to wait until after our wedding to post this review - but I am seriously convinced that…read moreall of these other reviews are fake, and Sabrina is not actually a wedding coordinator at all - or at least doesn't do it anymore. We started planning our wedding 2 years ago, and found Sabrina via the Knot. We booked her because of her positive reviews and her pricing, and I can confidently say it was the worst mistake of my entire planning process. Sabrina started off very responsive and organized up until I signed the contract. Immediately after I stopped receiving email responses, and had to text her or call to beg for some kind of response. She had told me I could ask her questions whenever and can have monthly check ins as needed, which I never did end up getting. Some emails would go 2-3 weeks without responses, some no response at all. I started to become very worried about 6 months out when we still had little to no contact with her. I reached out and let her know that I was feeling this way, and asked when we can expect her full attention and she just kind of said "it depends on the brides needs" so I communicated that I did need her to respond in these next few months. Again, ghosted. I tried to give her the benefit of the doubt as most people who I asked about it said coordinators don't jump in until 60 days out. So many people told me to fire her, but I tried to stick it out. When those 60 days out rolled up, nothing changed. No vendor comms were sent without us prompting Sabrina to do so, I made my own timeline because she took too long to respond to my email and get me hers, I also had to redo my own floorplan because hers was too vague and incorrect. Once we hit the 2 week mark, and we still saw no improvement on her part, I knew we had to let her go and find someone who would actually do the job. I'm still convinced I was scammed, and am devastated over the amount of tears and stress Sabrina caused me this entire process. I am SO glad we fired her and went with someone else. Our new coordinator immediately hopped in and did more than I think Sabrina ever could. Sabrina did give us a partial refund after we told her the contract was over, which I appreciate - but there was never an apology or attempt to make it right. Weddings are a big deal, and I had made my expectations very clear and even gave her a way out if she couldn't do the job. Such a disappointment. Brides - PLEASE save yourself the stress and do not hire Sabrina. If I could go back and redo this whole process I would 100% go with someone else.

Sabrina is awesome!!…read more What I wanted most in a day of coordinator is someone who would get stuff done but be totally chill about it. Sabrina answered all of our questions leading up to our wedding day...and sometimes there could be a lot! But she stayed patient and somehow sorted through all the emails to help execute our day flawlessly. During the day, she popped up at exactly the right moments with small things I would've otherwise forgotten about - like my bouquet haha. We really enjoyed working with Sabrina and would highly recommend anyone to hire her for your next event. She's got experience at numerous local venues including Pearson Ranch and Saratoga Springs, and I found that to be extremely valuable! Thanks Sabrina!!!

We are so grateful for the expertise of Angelique and her team at Honey & Twine. We opted for the…read moremonth before and day-of package but I felt like Angelique was helping me the whole time throughout our wedding planning. She set up a meeting early and sent us documents that would help us along the way. She would check in and would open herself up to us if needed. Early on I had mentioned to Angelique that I was planning on doing my own florals to help with my budget and she encouraged me and even sent me recommendations on how I could execute my own wedding florals. I ended up going with the floral wholesale shop she recommended and was so happy with my decision. She also gave us recommendations of other wedding vendors. We ended up going with a recommended photographer as well who was very kind to work with and returned photos promptly. Nikki, a Honey and Twine assistant, went with me to my second rental appointment and was so helpful. Nikki had great insight and was a great advocate to have by my side during the appointment. Honey and Twine sent documents, check lists and timelines that helped me the months leading to the wedding. Angelique and Nikki met with me at my venue (which was my brother's house) and had an initial walk-through. Nikki came a second time as well. We felt they knew the space so well and we're confident that everything would fit into place on the day of. They came to the rehearsal and led it well and let us enjoy time with our family. On the wedding day, Honey and Twine truly shined. There was a large structure to cover that ended up being the background of the head table. It looked so great. All the tables looked perfect and they set up the bar and entrance table so perfectly. Just as every wedding has, there was a small hiccup with our rental restrooms where one of the stalls was unusable and I didn't even know about the problem until after the wedding because they did not want to worry the bride. There were 3 Honey and Twine associates at the wedding that made everything look beautiful, run seamlessly and on schedule. We could not be more grateful for Honey & Twine!

We worked with Lexi and Brenda at Honey + Twine for our October 2017 wedding and they could not…read morehave done a better job!! When we started planning our wedding in January 2017, my fiancé and I had absolutely no idea what we were doing, or what we wanted our wedding to look like, and it was so wonderful to have Lexi and Brenda there helping us with every detail. They were knowledgable, patient, and most importantly, totally organized and on top of every detail. They also made sure every choice we made kept us within our budget, and gave some great recommendations for vendors. They always got back to us quickly, and knew the answer to every wedding-related question we asked them, big or small. After 10 months of planning with them, four days before the wedding date we had to move the entire wedding after the fires up in wine country threatened our original wedding venue. Lexi and Brenda were never anything but completely competent and professional during this whole process (I was a disaster). They found a new venue in San Francisco with a similar feeling to our original venue and of a similar cost, and dealt with every single vendor so they all moved to our new location. We had 130 guests coming, a third of whom had flown in from Europe, and I honestly don't know what we would have done without Lexi and Brenda. The actual wedding day itself was executed perfectly. With Brenda there running everything, I didn't have a single thing to worry about, and could just enjoy the entire day and night with all my friends and family (and new husband!). Hiring a planner was the first budgetary choice we made for our wedding, and no question it was the best one we made. When things went wrong, Honey + Twine were there to rescue our wedding day, and we won't forget what an amazing job they did!

We are so lucky to have found Jen…read more We hired Jen as our wedding month-of coordinator and she did an amazing job. I sat down with her about a month before the wedding to run through what I had already planned. She took what we had and made it come to life. On the day of the wedding, she made sure every detail was in place, everyone was where they were supposed to be, every vendor knew what was supposed to happen, and every guest felt like they were taken care of. I'm not really sure how she did it all. Without Jen, our wedding would have not been the same. I highly, highly recommend Jen for any event, small or large.

Jenny is fantastic!! I used her services for our wedding in 2016, and I am SO glad I did. I was…read morecompletely clueless on planning a wedding, but she made everything extremely straight forward and turned what could have been an incredibly stressful experience into an actually really fun one!

Thank you for everything you did for us, Jenny!

I cannot recommend Nasreen highly enough--she is a true artist, a calming presence, and an absolute…read morejoy to work with. From the very beginning, Nasreen took the time to truly get to know me as a bride. She didn't just ask what flowers I liked--she wanted to understand the feeling I wanted on my wedding day, the atmosphere, the little details, and what truly mattered to me. Every conversation felt thoughtful and collaborative, and I deeply appreciated her wisdom in helping me navigate what would and wouldn't work, based on her experience. If you're lucky enough to work with her--ask for her opinion. She brings so much insight and heart to the process. On the day of our wedding, I was completely blown away. The floral designs were beyond anything I had imagined--stunning, lush, and full of life and meaning. When I sat down with my husband at our sweetheart table, I genuinely felt like the flowers were embracing us with love and joy. The bouquets, the installations, every detail was exquisite. It was like stepping into a dream. Nasreen helped make our day unforgettable--not only with her breathtaking creations, but with her kind soul and the care she pours into every petal and every moment. I am so grateful for her and will forever treasure the beauty she brought into our lives.

She was also our day of coordinator for the day as well. She did an absolutely great job! She executed nearly both events flawlessly. There were some minor hiccups the day of that could have been perhaps dropped because of lack of communication or perhaps lack of staff the day of. We also lost part of our deposit for the venue because her staff took a bit longer to clean up then was allotted. However, regardless of all of the little hiccups the wedding and rehearsal dinner were absolutely gorgeous. She surpassed our wildest expectations and gave us the wedding of our dreams. Her price is worth the quality that she offers her clients. Minor hiccups were nothing compared to the job she did.

If I could give Katie a million, trillion stars, I would. If you are getting married, hire her…read more Seriously. Pick up a third job, sell half of your possessions, do whatever it takes to get the money together to hire her and do it! You need Katie Hund in your wedding life! We hired Katie for our "day of" coordinator, and she was worth every. single. penny. My husband and I went back and forth about spending the money to hire someone for day of services, but we both agree: it was the number one most important purchase we made towards our big day. We got married 3 weeks into my 3rd semester of nursing school, and I can honestly say that I think I would have had multiple mental break downs if it wasn't for Katie. Any time any issue, big or small, would arise, she handled it with grace. My father-in-law still talks about how amazed he was by her. In his words "she just did not stop". And she kept a smile throughout the entire thing! There were numerous times Katie help me destress about all the little stressors planning a wedding brings on. She answered all my questions and concerns during our meetings and really made this bride-to-be (with an overflowing plate) feel at ease. I always walked into our meetings feeling completely overwhelmed, and left feeling excited and tranquil. Since we hired such an awesome coordinator, I was actually able to enjoy my wedding day with all my bridesmaids. My only job that day was to focus on getting pretty for my soon to be husband while enjoying celebratory mimosas with my closest girlfriends. Apparently, there were several snafus (problems with sound at the ceremony, issues with the reception site allowing alcohol outside, etc...) the day of, but I didn't have any idea until days later when my husband filled me in. Katie and her team took stressful situations head on (including difficult family members), and made the most special day of my life stress free (for me ;) ) Katie wears many hats, as she was also my florist! She designed all of the bouquets for me and my girls, flower crowns for the bridesmaids and flower pins for me, the boutonnières for the men, and all the flower arrangements at the ceremony and reception. I can not thank Katie and her team enough for making our wedding what it was. We could NOT have done it without her. If you are on the fence about hiring someone for wedding planning/day of coordination, seriously, hire Katie. I promise you, it will be the best investment you make towards your big day.

As a meticulous, Type-A bride, I needed someone who understood my vision and attention to detail--and Tanisha absolutely did. We chose her full design and coordination package, and she went above and beyond throughout the entire process. She was available to me night or day, always reassuring me whenever I had a concern or fear, and handled communication with all of our vendors seamlessly. Every little detail, from our tables and decor to the ceremony setup/breakdown was taken care of. Despite having a smaller budget, she brought everything I envisioned to life. On the wedding day, I didn't even have my phone with me. I walked in and everything was perfect. My husband and I spent the entire night in our own happy bubble & not once did we feel an ounce of stress. Most importantly, Tanisha is an exceptional person. Her character, personality, and dedication truly made the experience special. I genuinely feel like the value of her work was 10x what we paid for. Having Tanisha by our side gave us the freedom to actually enjoy our wedding day, and I would recommend her wholeheartedly to any couple planning their wedding. She was truly the best decisions we made! My husband and I will forever be grateful to her for delivering our fairytale wedding.

So it was a mixed bag experience. My daughter did alot of the planning with her and enjoyed it. So if I was to do this again I would be better at holding her accountable for certain things.

We loved that the catering and rentals were handled through the Lodge so we had fewer vendors to juggle. And the food turned out great! There are plenty of options for the bride and groom to choose from and we got lots of compliments on the fresh and delicious food from our guests. The views are also stellar and the old growth oak trees and hills surrounding the property made for a serene setting for our summer wedding. We even lucked out with a 75 degree day in July so it was a truly magical event! I don't hesitate to recommend this venue to anyone planning a wedding or event at that scale, especially on a budget. You get more than your money's worth and you get to work with helpful staff that are there to make your day as stress-free as possible. Thank you again to Andrea and everyone who worked our wedding!
