We hired Bustle Events to plan our full wedding weekend (rehearsal dinner/welcome drinks, wedding day, farewell brunch) in Santa Barbara, and everything turned out so perfectly. More importantly, the day felt very personal and unique to us. Erin really takes the time to get to know you and your styles, and she made the entire planning process a breeze! There are SO many details that go into a wedding, but she kept us on track and I put my full trust in her to have everything handled. Having gone through the wedding planning process - there's no need to be stressed about the day. Do yourself a favor and hire this team of amazing planners so you & your partner can focus on what's most important - enjoying your wedding!

My husband and I are so glad that we chose A Savvy Event (ASE) as our planning team, but more…read morespecifically, Kimberly Rosen, as our wedding planner! We initially spoke with several other planners, but after our first call with Kimberly, we knew we wanted her to be the one helping us plan our event this past October in Sonoma. We insisted that Kimberly was our go-to with ASE. ASE has several levels of planning packages depending on what you are looking for. My Husband and I decided to go with the partial planning package and it was the perfect balance for us. We are from the Chicagoland area so having a planner in California where we were getting married was essential. Kimberly is also well-connected in wine country/the wedding industry and has relationships with many of the vendors who ASE has worked with over the years. This is a major perk, since she was able to point us in the direction of some of the best vendors out there! We always felt like we were in the right hands and were provided high quality recommendations by Kimberly. Throughout the past year of planning with Kimberly she was always kind and had such a positive attitude. Aside from being our wedding planner, Kimberly felt like a friend. Not only did we hear from several of our vendors how much they loved working with Kimberly and how organized she was, even several of our friends asked who she was because they noticed how on top of everything she was at the wedding. Everyone tells you how stressful wedding planning can be, especially since our entire planning process was virtual and during covid, but ours was carefree and fun! You also hear "something is going to go wrong the day of" but my husband and I can say that our day was flawless. If something did go wrong, it was nothing made known or visible to either us or any of our guests. When my Husband and I returned to our hotel room at the end of that night, Kimberly and her assistant had already returned all our signs and personal belongings to our room. They laid out my veil on the bed with our welcome sign so beautifully (see pic). Although this was a small gesture, we felt it was so thoughtful to walk back to at the end of what was already the perfect day! One final touch if you will! I have said to my husband on numerous occasions recently that I wish our wedding planning wasn't over and how I want to experience our day all over again and he agrees! Thank you, Kimberly for helping make our wedding one we'll always treasure and never forget! It was more magical than we could have ever envisioned!

My 14 month engagement turned into 26 months and I cannot imagine having gone through the challenges the pandemic and wild fires presented without Kelly. In addition to her gorgeous work, creativity, and connections in the industry, she is as genuine as can be and truly wants the best for her brides, grooms and their families. Not only does Kelly want to make your wedding planning experience as easy and fun as possible, but she also does an incredible job of getting to know you and making the wedding extremely personal. She got to know my husband and me in addition to our story and overall vision for our special day/weekend. Kelly goes above and beyond. For example, Kelly knew mine and my husband's love for Crumbl cookies and it became a shared love between all of us. She had the great idea to pick up Crumbl catering for our Rehearsal Dinner, which was also my husband's birthday, because she knew how special that would be for us. This is just the smallest example of Kelly's thoughtfulness throughout the whole process. Our wedding planning process presented extreme challenges between having to postpone a full year due to the pandemic and having to find a new venue/caterer/other vendors after our original venue burned down, but Kelly had my back every step of the way. She worked tirelessly to give us the best options while still taking our budget and preferences into consideration. The day would not have been possible without her and we are forever grateful for her dedication, her hard work, and her genuine love for what she does. Three months later, anytime we see our friends and family, they still talk about how perfect and absolutely stunning our wedding day and weekend was. I knew our day would be special but it was beyond anything I could have ever dreamed of. Kelly and the ASE team went above and beyond in creating the most special, beautiful, personalized and intimate wedding for us and I will forever be grateful. I could go on for several more paragraphs, but in conclusion, if you are looking for a wedding planning team, you will be in the best hands with A Savvy Event!

She took the time to understand my vision fully and provided invaluable insight throughout the process. She worked seamlessly with our other vendors, taking the weight of all the logistics so we could enjoy the weeks leading up to the wedding. When we got to wedding weekend she brought a calm and competent energy to the rehearsal and day-of that really set the tone and allowed us to relax and enjoy. We are so grateful for her collaboration and can honestly say booking with 2FE was one of the best decisions we made.

I was frantically contacting vendors, trying to find someone who could step in on such short notice. Nichole Simpson, the owner of 2 Friends Events, responded almost immediately and quickly arranged a consultation. Within four days, we had an experienced coordinator assigned--and what a blessing that turned out to be. Rachel Roddewig and her assistant were absolutely AMAZING. Rachel met with us twice--first for an hour and then for another two and a half hours. She developed a detailed schedule and timeline and came prepared with thoughtful questions to ensure that every detail had been addressed. During the week leading up to the wedding, Rachel contacted every vendor to confirm logistics, schedules, and responsibilities. She also directed the staff I had hired for setup, bussing, breakdown, and cleanup. She attended the rehearsal, arrived early to walk the grounds and familiarize herself with the venue, coordinated everyone for the ceremony, and took care of every detail throughout the reception. If there were any hiccups, I knew nothing about them until after the wedding and reception were over. Rachel handled everything calmly and worked seamlessly with the vendors to ensure the day went perfectly. I truly believe the wedding was as perfect as it was because of Rachel's extraordinary organization, attention to detail, and logistical expertise. I am incredibly grateful to Nichole, Rachel, and 2 Friends Events for stepping in when we needed them most and helping make this very special day absolutely wonderful. I cannot recommend them highly enough!

Review This team is NO. FREAKING. JOKE!!!…read more I had my wedding on May 11th and the day couldn't have gone more perfect, and that's thanks to this team. Jessica & LaShawna are freaking stars! The planning process was seamless. I was so impressed with the attention to detail at the wedding venue walkthrough. We walked the entire venue, bounced ideas off each other for placement of every single item, and built a schematic. They even measured the venue to know exact placement of tables, chairs, etc. Planning the wedding was so easy/smooth thanks to the planning tools and check ins. Our rehearsal was straight to the point and very easy. We didn't need the full two hours allotted by our venue because they were on top of everything! Then came the wedding day. Our bridal salon overlooked the venue, so we were able to see the progress throughout the day. THEY WORK HARD!! and I mean, they pay attention to every single little detail to make sure the place looks beautiful and perfect. It was so impressive, we all couldn't stop talking about it. The wedding day went seamless, on time, and without a single issue. Jessica and LaShawna were there every step of the way, speaking to each other through their own personal headpieces. If anything came up or if I had any questions, they were there and ready to help where needed. My wedding wouldn't have gone as well as it did without them, I promise. I feel so grateful to have had the best team out there!! We also decided to hire the CLE House cleanup crew which was fantastic as well! Janet did a great job and cleaning/tidying up fast and making sure we got back all of our stuff. Thank you so much for being the reason why my wedding day went so perfectly CLE House!!!

From the very first call, she made us feel safe, supported, and taken care of, something that meant the world to us after such a stressful experience. She jumped in immediately, learned every detail of our day and somehow managed to organize everything with total calm and confidence. She was not only an incredible planner but also such a kind friend to me through the process. I never once felt like a burden, even with all the chaos that comes with planning a wedding. On the day itself, she ran the show flawlessly. So many of our guests went out of their way to tell us how smoothly everything went and how professional and composed she was. Every single detail was handled amazingly and all I had to do was enjoy the day. You can tell from the start how much experience she has and how gifted she really is! During our reception, I asked my mom to bustle my dress but she was enjoying the music (which I'm glad she was having the chance to) and Tina pulled me aside and bustled my dress without any direction or hesitation! I was so shocked because the seamstress gave me a ten minute long video and very specific instructions and Tina did it in 5 mins, no video, just skill. If you're looking for someone who is not only amazing at what she does but also genuinely cares about you as a person, Tina is the one. She took one of the most stressful situations imaginable and turned it into something beautiful and easy. I can't recommend her enough.

Because of the distance and the short time frame, I decided to look into having a wedding planner. After much online searching, I came across Amy Bridges Events! Amy Bridges is SUCH a SWEETHEART!! She really helped put my mind at ease. Even though I signed up for the month-of package, she graciously answered any queries I had before that. My now Mother-in-law and I met up with Amy at Mark West Lodge in August 2010. Our wedding was to be the end of September. I felt even more assured after meeting her in person. What's great is that with all of my stressing and worrying about all the tiny details, Amy still swoops in and does the rest! I'm the type to worry that if I don't do it, it won't get done or done right....but with Amy I didn't have to worry!! Everything looked so beautiful and perfect. The best thing I can say is that all of our guests LOVED our wedding! They thought it was the most fun they had ever had. This is where I give props to Amy Bridges!!! :-D She has her clipboard and notes in hand, a smile on her face, and such a positive attitude. If anything did go wrong, I never knew about it! She was also excellent at email communication. So if there are any brides out there wanting to have a destination wedding in Northern California, have no qualms about contacting Amy. Even when I needed to change the cake baker for our wedding cake, she helped me through that. She is the perfect go-between person that you will want for your wedding. It's stressful enough as it is...you really need that person to lean on and trust!! Thanks again, Amy! We have really beautiful memories from our wedding day, and you helped with that! J. and C.

We had the absolute most amazing experience with her throughout every step in our two-year wedding planning journey. From the very beginning, she was fantastic in every regard and was the main reason why our wedding last August at Carneros Resort in Napa everything we dreamed it would be. She was incredibly organized, thoughtful, positive, reliable, responsive, and attentive to every detail throughout the entire planning process. She somehow managed to make what could have been an overwhelming process feel seamless and enjoyable. No question was ever too small, and we always felt like we were in the best possible hands. She listened to our vision, understood our style, and brought everything together in a way that felt so uniquely us. On the wedding weekend itself, she was truly invaluable. Everything ran flawlessly, and she handled every detail behind the scenes so that we could be completely present and enjoy every moment with our family and friends. We never once had to worry about logistics, timing, vendors, or anything going wrong -- she had everything under control. Her professionalism, calm demeanor, attention to detail, and ability to anticipate what needed to happen before it even happened were incredible. Our wedding at Carneros Resort was truly a dream come true, and we know that would not have been possible without her. She went above and beyond in every way, and we feel so lucky that we had her by our side throughout the entire process. If you are looking for a wedding planner, we could not recommend her more highly. She is exceptionally talented at what she does, but beyond that, she is genuinely a wonderful person to work with and a lovely human being. Hiring her was the VERY best decision we made for our wedding, and we will be forever grateful for everything she did to make our weekend so incredibly special. Seriously amazing.

Echo is a great wedding planner, and I am happy we chose her to guide us through the process. From…read morethe initial phone call, I got the impression that she was organized, professional and honest, which was true throughout the planning process. Me and my husband got the middle-tier package, which did not include budget and vendor payments (note: this package excludes reminders to pay vendors as well). Echo's approach to wedding planning is methodical and well-organized. For instance, she created a dedicated folder where she would post/remove deliverables incrementally as we went through the process. That way, we did not feel overwhelmed since she already broke down the steps into smaller, manageable pieces. Or, another great example is organizing our email communications by different work streams so that we could easily refer to conversations by topic, and not lose track of items when discussing multiple vendors at once. Echo was always quick to reply on every communication platform. We trusted Echo not only for her planning skills, but also for her local knowledge of vendors. We followed her recommendations under the assumption that she would put together an excellent team to execute our vision. On the day of the wedding, they all worked together like a well-oiled machine. They say that something always goes wrong on your actual wedding day, but ours was had little/no stress. I know that there is a lot of background work for that to occur -- so thank you Echo!
