Jade was incredible to work with! We hired her for Month of Coordination, and I encourage you to…read morehire her for at least that (if not a larger planning package). From Day 1 of having her on our team, even before the official "month-of," she shared her advice, amazing vendors and kind heart with us. Pretty much every vendor we used came from her list! Also, using her planning software was super helpful to keep us all on the same page. This was a destination wedding, and planning this mostly through COVID, she worked well with the limitations and was very flexible. All of our family and friends commented about how great she was at the rehearsal dinner and wedding. She ended up planning our entire rehearsal dinner and it was INCREDIBLE! She made it an evening we will never forget, perfectly matching our style as a couple. The day of our wedding ran smoothly, and if there were any hiccups we never saw them! She made us feel special, and I trusted her completely with anything that came up. She was organized, got our large bridal party to everywhere they needed to be, and worked hard the entire time. As a side note: her husband Derek Preciado was our photographer/videographer for the day, and those two make an amazing pair. She joined us on our engagement shoot to get to know us better. If the two of them are both free on your wedding day, scoop them up!!

Just as Promised Events was invaluable to my now-husband and I throughout the planning process. We…read moreutilized the coordinator package so I had already set up most of the vendors and made some arrangements but Jade's expertise made our day go so smoothly. Having Jade and her excellent assistant there day-of made it so that we could truly enjoy our wedding and not have to put our siblings and parents, "To work," so they could relax and just celebrate with us. During our venue walk-through, Jade was taking measurements and sketching a layout of tables and where vendors could go, making sure it was how we would like it to be. She knew to ask all the questions to our venue that we would have never thought of but are logistically important (details regarding rental drop off and pickup, etc). If you are lucky enough to find Just as Promised available for your date, I would recommend you jump on it!

I was referred to her by a mutual friend and I couldn't of been happier. With her bubbly personality and attention to detail she brought together each detail I mentioned for my reception. She transformed our venue into a beautiful intimate space we invisioned. In addition to her floral skills, Lisa stepped up where most vendors would not. During our big day, there were multiple changes due to an electrical problem at our venue. Lisa not only drove to multiple locations to save my family and friends from having too, but also provided me with video updates throughout the day to ensure I was a happy bride! Thank you again for helping make our day perfect!!

Jessie is an absolute gem of a person and is worth her weight in gold for your special day!…read more Everyone told me I was so calm the week of my wedding and I know it's in part that I trusted Jessie to execute and coordinate with our amazing vendor team. Not only did she seamlessly keep everyone in check and on schedule, but she rolled with the punches and found solutions on the fly. It was an absolute pleasure to meet her and work with her. Thank you so much Jessie!!

Jessie is the best of the best, inside and out! Our story with Jessie is unique-- we met her in the…read moremiddle of our wedding planning process, when she stepped in last minute to help us amidst tragic circumstances. We cannot thank her enough for adopting us and taking us "over the finish line" to make our wedding a reality. From the instant we had our first call, we immediately felt at ease that Jessie knew what she was doing. She had this infectious optimism, lightheartedness, and go-getter mentality that made us feel so confident and excited about wedding planning (two words I don't normally associate with planning a wedding, LOL). She is super well-connected in the Central Coast area and knew basically all our vendors personally. She was super communicative and always available over text to handle any little fires. She interfaced with all our vendors, including our after-party venue, and negotiated with them to save us $$! I kept wondering if I needed to be calling a vendor or following up with anything, but Jessie took care of everything! Whenever anyone asks how the wedding went, I can truly say it was a perfect day and nothing went awry. The truth is, I'm sure something didn't go the way it was supposed to, but that just means Jessie and her team handled it before I even knew it happened. Jessie, you are truly a godsend and I am so, so thankful for your presence in our lives during this season!! We love you!! -Sarah and Bryan

Janet and her team are beyond exceptional! Super nice and professional, Janet knows weddings,…read moreeverything about them start to finish. We didn't know where to start, we had a venue and a vision, we live out of the area, we needed help! Janet gave us recommendations of vendors, they worked together seamlessly. I didn't even know you could rent pretty chairs to replace the banquet chairs, what a difference that made. We couldn't fit our guests in the room we wanted, Janet suggested we use our cocktail room for the dance floor, dj, etc. Our contact never let us know that was an option. This suggestion was epic! The reception was so amazing, the cocktail room was like a club, so great, there was a filled dance floor all night while in the reception room, others could sit and chat. Janet pointed us in the right direction in so many ways before and during the wedding. Can I just say it was the most beautiful vision of what we had wanted, it was absolutely perfect, our guests are still raving and most importantly, my daughter said it was the wedding of her dreams. Eternally grateful! THANK YOU!

From the moment we met with her until the I Do's and beyond, everything went so smoothly I forgot this is supposed to be a stressful event to put together. Heather and her team assisted us with every aspect of the wedding. She spent time to get to know the couple and learn what they wanted for their wedding. Then she was able to make ideal venue selections and helped us select all the vendors, including catering, flowers, décor and more. Her taste is impeccable but she guides the bride and groom to help them make the decision that suits their vision of their special day, and fits within the budget they've created. Everything that the bride and groom intended for their wedding to look like came true, thanks to Heather Hansen Events. She truly has the talent and organizational skills to put on a flawless wedding, or whatever kind of event you need.

We hired Leanne early on, the only thing we had done before hiring her was book our venue. Leanne was great at recommending the key players for the vendors, we went with 90% of her recommendations & it went off without a hitch. She had a great demeanor throughout the whole process and I would highly recommend her. Thank you for being part of our special day.

My husband and I said Leanne was the best money we spent on our wedding hands down. We hired…read moreLeanne for month of coordination and she was just amazing. She brought a sense of calm to what wedding planning is, utter chaos (or at least for us non-professionals it is). Leanne never once seemed daunted by anything during the entire process, and if she was we, didn't know it. Leanne also is a pleasure to be around, like you'd want to be her friend, which is not the vibe I got from the other coordinators I spoke with prior to finding Leanne. She is very down to earth, warm and really cares. She is genuinely invested in your wedding. Leanne worked with us in the month before and was even there before that to recommend vendors and offer advice and support if needed. Once she took over in those final weeks, I felt relieved. All was in her hands and she took care of absolutely everything and ensured that all the details (of which there were many) were in order. She spent a lot of time with us at the walkthrough and the day before the wedding to ensure that everything was prepared and that we felt at ease. That in and of itself is priceless! Never once did I feel uncertain that our wedding was not in good hands. On the day of, Leanne made sure everything went off without a hitch. Her services are amazing and we couldn't have gotten through our wedding without her. She is a gem.

Dream Wedding in 5 days!!…read more Colleen and Eventful Wedding Planning helped us create our dream wedding in 5 days after canceling a large destination celebration due to a hurricane. We are so grateful that we met Colleen and were still able to have our dream celebration. I cannot imagine the work Colleen and her team can accomplish with more notice. Thank you to Colleen for making our celebration our dream wedding!

Colleen and her team are absolutely wonderful. My husband and I interviewed a handful of…read moreplanners/coordinators for our wedding, and we clicked with Colleen immediately over the phone. She's funny, straight-forward, kind, organized and creative. Colleen created a custom proposal for us that included both Design and Coordination. Throughout our planning process, she was readily available by email/phone/text. She helped us through all of our questions (there were many!) and was candid in her suggestions. She recommended vendors for us in every category and we couldn't have been happier with the selection! We truly had a rock star team of vendors. On our wedding day, things went off without a hitch. Colleen and her team had everything under control, including all decorations, and my husband and I didn't have to worry about a thing! She and her team had a well developed schedule and literally just told us where to go and when. It was SUCH a relief to not have to make ANY decisions on my wedding day. My husband and I had the most amazing day! I would recommend Colleen and her team 100 times over! Truly amazing!

Monica was a phenomenal wedding coordinator! I had initially planned to do everything myself and…read morejust have someone execute my vision on the wedding day. However, a few weeks into planning, I realized having an individual with knowledge of all the vendors, and ensuring no other details were missed was critical. I was living on the east coast and planning a wedding celebration on the west coast, so I needed someone else expertise and personal experiences. I chose Monica because: (1) she was very responsive to emails, (2) was so warm, friendly and personable and (3) was willing to work with my budget. She had worked with every vendor I had chosen (except the ice cream truck). She reviewed every contract before I signed. She save us a lot of money on decor and flowers by using her personal inventory and skills. She caught errors in my list and counts for my rentals. She revised my venue layout multiple times and shared in my OCD nature of documentation in google docs. She met with me several times before the wedding day and met up with me in person a month before the wedding when we went to see the venue. The week before the wedding, she contacted all the vendors and I was able to spend time with family. The day of the rehearsal dinner she showed up 4.5 hours early to ensure all the setup was completed for the night and for part of the next day. It went without a hitch and she took care of the decor, and communications with catering. The day of the wedding, she arrived earlier than us to set up! She did my flowers, and did an amazing job. My bouquet was lovely and huge! While my family and I got our hair and makeup done, she set up/decorated the welcome tables, beverage stations, reception tables, escort tables and cocktail tables. She was an organized and calm presence, coordinating with photography, ensuring we were on schedule and guiding us for the ceremony. At the reception, she helped DJ mark with seamless transitions in the itinerary and some small modifications. At the end of the night, she waited for the last person to leave the venue and went above and beyond to help us ensure everyone's safety. Overall, Monica is the best coordinator I couldn't have had the perfect day without her. She made the entire planning process fun and smooth. I felt relaxed and confident through the 4 month planning process! I highly recommend her!

She was so organized and on top of everything that I didn't have to worry about a single thing that entire weekend... and trust me, I'm a total control freak so that's easier said than done! Another thing that I really appreciated about Jamie was that even though I only hired her for the day-of, she was totally accessible for the entire year leading up to the event. We're not from the area so we really relied on her for vendor recommendations and such. I would HIGHLY recommend Jamie and her team to anyone!

If I could give more stars to Jamie and Chris, I definitely would!!…read more I cannot say enough good things about their services. We hired CJN for the entire planning and up to day-of festivities and they rocked! From helping us pick out and hire several individual vendors, to taking care of our champagne at the reception (storing it, chilling it, and serving it (!)), they never let us stress! Things went so smoothly that I am completely convinced that there is no way we could have done it without them! At the end, we almost felt like we had UNDER-paid them, since they went above and beyond what we had expected. We live in the Bay Area and had our wedding on the Central Coast, so you can imagine the stress we would have had without CJN. EVERY minor detail, from each timeline detail, to the type of food we wanted for our rehearsal dinner, was handled by CJN. They never took over to the point that we didn't have a say, they just made sure that every single thing was handpicked by us, and they ran with it. The rehearsal, the planning, the ceremony, and the reception was so seamless that we were utterly elated at the end. And, this may sound silly, but Jamie was so quick to reply, and so detailed in her questions and tasks, that we will miss not working with her any longer and being in constant contact. Maybe we will have a big anniversary party in a few years, just so we can hire her again!
