We were looking for partial planning services and the most important things for us in a planner were 1) personality fit and 2) a get 'er done attitude. Chels has both of these and so much more! We couldn't believe how much she did for us over 1.5 years of planning our wedding - from vendor sourcing to coordination, logistics, timelines, design boards, being a sounding board, day of execution to perfection - The list goes on and on and on. She is delightful. Please look no further if you are looking for someone who will make you feel at ease and like you've gained a trusted friend in the end. We loved working with her!

Katie kept us on track with all planning tasks with ease and professionalism, was easygoing, and had a great sense of humor the whole way through. She advocated for us but also treated all of the other vendors with kindness and respect, made immediate friends with all of our guests, and was so calm and collected throughout the entire process. Overall we felt so well taken care of, were SO happy with everything they did for us. Best money we spent for our wedding without question. We love you Katie!!!

If you're looking for a wedding planner - your search is over. Hiring Paige was one of the best…read moredecisions of our entire wedding, and I promise you'll be impressed by her work too. We hired Paige about a year and a half before our wedding date, and we had absolutely no idea where to start. Throughout the entire process, Paige was patient with our questions, enthusiastic to help us achieve our goals and our outlandish ideas (whilst also helping us keep realistic on what was possible) and always went the extra mile to ensure the process was as smooth as possible for us. Paige managed all of the vendor communications for us, which was a massive help whilst we juggled our full-time jobs and other commitments. Reflecting on the experience now, there is no way we could have found our vendors (who were absolutely phenomenal and largely sourced and recommended by Paige's expertise) and managed the communication with them half as well as she did for us. She kept the entire wedding planning progressing, helped us work through difficult challenges as they arose, and became our number one confidant and trusted friend throughout the process. On the wedding day itself, Paige was incredible. She was like a blur being everywhere at once, making sure guests, vendors and ourselves were properly cared for throughout the day (she brought us food and drinks, learned how to weave our table decorations (literally because I saw it on Pinterest), fluffed my train... she literally did it all!!). There was absolutely nothing we had to worry about or "sort" on the day as her team had everything completely in hand. She was incredibly professional and continued to go above and beyond for us, and we never once saw her without a beaming smile. It's clear that Paige loves her job, and she invests every ounce of passion into ensuring her clients weddings are world class. Paige is the most down-to-earth, bubbly and supportive wedding planners we could have ever have hoped for. I am SO grateful for all of the wisdom, time and passion and patience she shared with us. I'm sure there's hundreds of more testimonies just like ours, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone. If we ever planned our wedding again, she would be a non-negotiable part of our day

Over the past 10+ years, I have had the chance to work with Paige and Paige many times, and they are always extremely organized, efficient, and, most of all, kind.

I have a list of a few planners I recommend, and Paige Events is on that list not only because their couples love them but because they make every wedding something special.

On the day of my wedding, the reception setup was exactly as I had imagined--floating candles and my favorite flowers, baby's breath, creating a magical forest-inspired atmosphere. There was a small hiccup when my wedding cake arrived--it looked beautiful, but the color palette wasn't quite what I had envisioned unfortunately. However, Rebecca worked her magic with her own dried flowers, and I ended up with a completely new cake that was a much better match for the theme.

Rebecca was absolutely amazing helping me plan everything, thinking of things that I never would have thought of, helping me to deal with last-minute stressors, and managing our day perfectly. So many people came up to me to tell me how awesome our wedding planner was, and how well-run everything was at our wedding. We are SO appreciative. She knows all the other vendors in the area, and had fantastic suggestions for who we used. She also knew our venue really well, so helped us iron out all the little details that needed to be figured out. I don't think I realized how much goes into planning a wedding before I planned my own wedding, and there's no way we could have done it without Rebecca! I was really stressed before our wedding with all of the last minute prep, and Rebecca knew exactly what needed to happen and helped me feel so taken care of. The day of the wedding I literally didn't worry about anything because her team was so on top of it, we had a perfect magical day!

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.

Imagine Dim Sum with a wildly imaginative twist. Course after course of incredibly delicious dumplings, buns and the like. Better than anything I've had in SF. Then fresh California halibut and vegetables. Then superbly seasoned and perfectly prepared pork loin. Then the leanest tastiest ribs on Earth. Then a trio of mini deserts which included Chef Andrea's home made ice cream and spicy chocolate sauce unlike anything you've ever tasted. Oh, drinks included. If you wish to bring your own wine there is no corkage fee. Andrea is more about creative cuisine than she is about squeezing every penny of profit. There was such an abundance of delicious food that I may have omitted a course or two. Nobody left hungry that's for sure. Chef Noah's explanations about the origins of Pu'Er Tea and Dim Sum were actually quite interesting and enhanced the dining experience. The tea served was amazing. Never had anything like it. Delicious and complex. Chef Andrea is like a major league scout, looking for the next big talent. Chef Noah definitely has the makings of a star. You really benefit from the culinary synergies when Master Chef Andrea teams up with her newly discovered big talent colleagues. The wait staff was warm and attentive which added to the pleasant evening at Andrea's Front Street Kitchen in downtown Santa Cruz. As I said before, BEG BEG BEG to get on Chef Andrea's pop up dinner mailing list. The place was packed. Word is out. These exclusive pop up dinners are not to be missed.
