Jamila was so thorough and went over all the details with me. She was easy to get ahold of and had all the info to help me with the day of. When I met her at the ceremony site I noticed everything was dialed in and looking very pretty. I met her and she was so nice.

That is really above and beyond what I am used to at weddings. Overall I was just so happy to meet Jamila and get to work with her. If you are looking for a solid detailed friendly and on point person for your wedding. You are in great hands with Jamila.

What initially drew me to I Do Weddings... was her team's familiarity with San Diego wedding venues, and especially with our venue, the Scripps Seaside Forum. From our first consultation with Melissa, through every call and email, we immediately felt at ease knowing she was by our side. Melissa truly made the wedding planning process so much easier. She was incredibly responsive and always had an answer to my many questions in the months leading up to the wedding. I never felt like I was bothering her or asking too much, and knowing we had someone experienced and dependable to turn to made such a difference. On the wedding day, Melissa and her assistant coordinator, Elena, made sure everything went according to plan. My husband and I felt completely stress-free that morning because we knew Melissa and her team had everything under control. We were able to simply enjoy our day and be present in the moment, which was exactly what we wanted. I would HIGHLY recommend Melissa and her team to anyone planning a wedding. We are so grateful for everything they did to make our wedding day so seamless and special!

I have to admit, I changed my venue, caterer and location about 3 times and Susan was so graceful, never showed stress and immediately assisted in finding new vendors an created plans for each new scenario. I am a very picky, controlling person and I had complete confidence in allowing Susan and the team manage the wedding because they were always SO ON TOP OF EVERYTHING! Susan helped decorate, make flower arrangements, direct the caterers, DJ, guests and servers and it turned out absolutely fantastic!! To this day I still have friends that tell me" your wedding was so unique and beautiful, who helped design and decorate? who helped organize it?" I am always proud to say SUSAN!!!

The Centre Escondido was a great venue for our wedding. Amy, Jessica, Cooper, and the whole team…read morewere easy to work with, communicative, and organized throughout the whole planning process. On the day of the wedding, they were available and ready to help get tables, chairs, hedges, and linens set up. They were clear about the timeline and followed it to the tee, checking in with the wedding coordinator from time to time to see if they needed help with anything else. The venue space is spacious and can accommodate a large group. We had about 200 guests at our wedding and we used the Starlight Terrace for the Ceremony and Cocktail hour, then walked the guests over to the Moonlight Veranda on the other side for the Reception. It was a smooth transition and the guests really enjoyed the outdoor space. With the market lights above and the beautiful view of the sunset over Escondido, it was the perfect backdrop to eat, drink, and dance. I would highly recommend The Centre Escondido as a wedding venue!

We attended performances of three bands on a Thursday evening organized by the Six String Society. We were there to see the band, Daring Greatly. They won, Song of the Year at the 2023 San Diego Music Awards. The Centre is located above the Lexus dealership and attached to Vintana Wine + Dine, owned by Cohn Restaurant Group. A limited menu and cash bar was available. The food provided by Vintana was excellent, the beverage line much too long. As someone who has planned events in every career role I have had, I feel the space could have been better arranged. The Centre has various venue choices of different sizes. They are used for weddings, reunions and celebrations of all types. They may not need to be booked but it would be great to see more non- profit, charitable and flex functions here in the future. Note: Rocket not included. On the night of the event a rocket was launched into space from Vandenberg that could be seen through parts of SoCal., Go see Daring Greatly & eat at Vintana. #TheCentre #VintanaWineDine #MoonlightVerandah #RocketNotIncluded #DaringGreatly

Our Day of Coordinator and Bridal Assistant made sure we had everything we needed and we always knew next steps. The bartender, banquet servers and all of the event setup staff were also all so great and helpful. Every one of our guests have all mentioned how beautiful and perfect the wedding was and how much they enjoyed the venue, food, drinks and overall experience!

The most beautiful venue for a wedding with stunning indoor and outdoor photo opportunities and…read moreelegant decor. However, I was very unimpressed with the food. There were at least six guests who requested vegan meals and were served a simple curry over rice. The salad was not vegan, the dessert was not vegan, and even the vegetables were cooked in butter, making them unsuitable as well. Meanwhile, other guests had multiple dish options to choose from. For such a high end wedding venue, the lack of consideration for dietary restrictions was extremely disappointing. The food overall felt like the weakest part of an otherwise beautiful experience, and it is the only reason I would hesitate to recommend this venue.

They also have amazing connections with local vendors, many of whom we used for our big day, which made the entire process that much easier. Throughout all the planning, they kept us incredibly organized and prepared. We always knew what needed to be done and by when, so we never felt rushed or overwhelmed leading up to the wedding. Above all, Molly and Rachel were so responsive, thoughtful, and genuinely a pleasure to work with. Knowing we had a team we could trust made such a difference and allowed us to enjoy the process and, most importantly, be fully present on our wedding day. We are so grateful for everything they did to make our wedding everything we had hoped for.

Their calm professionalism allowed us to be fully present and enjoy every moment with our family and friends. Rachel even made a mid-dinner stain on my dress disappear as if it had never happened. And while we know they can't technically control the weather, we're still convinced they found a way to turn an 85% chance of rain into the most beautiful sunny day imaginable. We are endlessly grateful for the care, creativity and heart they brought to our wedding. It was everything we dreamed of and more, and we couldn't have imagined a better team by our side. Some people are meant for days like this, and Molly and Rachel are two of them.

As we…read morestarted our wedding planning process, we wanted to explore how a planner could help us, even as someone who already handles corporate events. I'm so glad we found Willmus Weddings! 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. Throughout the reception, Heather made sure we actually got to eat, including trying our appetizers and sitting down to enjoy our dinner.

She recommended amazing vendors (Rudy's Tacos, North Coastal Floral, and Party People DJ) and streamlined communication so everything came together seamlessly. 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. Everything ran smoothly, and Ajji handled all the moving parts behind the scenes. Christophe is an incredible photographer and made us feel completely at ease throughout the day. He captured everything perfectly and was an absolute pleasure to work with. Overall, we couldn't have asked for a better team to bring our wedding to life. If you're looking for a group that is organized, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in making your day special, we can't recommend them highly enough!

We were very pleased with Steffanie and Javed's decor for our wedding last weekend. We weren't…read moreexactly sure what to expect before we walked into the venue (Steffanie sent photos of each part separately but we didn't know what it would look like all together) but we were very impressed with the decor: from the mandap, to the reception stage, charger plates, centerpieces and most of all - the LED dance floor! Last minute we were worried that an LED dance floor might look tacky but it was beautiful, fun, and a huge hit. They changed the colors on the dance floor depending on what part of the reception we were at so during some of the family performances there were beautiful white lights and during the open dance floor it changed colors. I might recommend having some kind of gradient to the elevated LED dance floor in case people aren't looking down when they walk on, but that might be hard to employ! We weren't the kind of couple that was very nitpicky about each part of the decor (so I can't speak for those couples that have more of a detailed vision) but I thought, for us, the finished product was classy, glamorous, and fun. My husband (woops typed out fiance at first) has a keener design-eye and he was also incredibly happy with our decor. Thank you Steffanie and Javed!

THE BEST HIRE!!!! Christine and Lavish were recommended to…read moreme by a friend at work. She said her sister was a wedding planner and created beautiful weddings. She was not wrong! I am so impressed by Christine and her team. My husband and I were engaged for over a year and Gabriela took care of us in the beginning from getting a vision board together, a color palette selected, and an overall concept/theme put together. They recommended different vendors and were realist about setting a budget. I originally found their online aisle planner website difficult and hard to navigate at first and learned to really appreciate it down the road. It wasn't that it was hard to navigate more than I didn't take the time to explore all the different features. It was a life saver for me and later turned into my wedding bible because it housed all my vendor information, payment schedules, important dates, seating chart, checklists, and more. Fast forward to the month before the wedding. Christine was amazing and set up all our final vendor meetings, etc. she made sure all the vendors talked to each other and coordinated everything with the hotel. She took care of all the vendor logistics, COI, etc. Which at the time, I didn't realize was a lot. She was crucial in selecting our decor and creating the timeline. The day of the wedding comes and Christine was there bright and early setting everything up. We had an attendant, Tiffany, assigned to the bridesmaids, another one dedicated to the groomsmen, Christine setting up in the reception hall, and later, Diana, a runner and they all were amazing! They were there the entire time of us getting ready and making sure we could connect with Christine as she handled the vendors coming in. They made sure we were taken care of, checked in, and never left. Diana was also a life saver and had my shoes ready for me to change into after all the photos. I could go on for days and never capture how much Christine and her team truly helped us. They helped set up, tear down, managed my family and guests, managed all the vendors, and handled all the melt downs. They were the absolute best hire! I am truly impressed and am forever grateful to Christine and her team. I 100% recommend Lavish & Co. for any wedding. They were truly amazing and went above and beyond, exceeded all expectations. My husband and I are not the easiest people and I know that. But, Christine and her team were so gracious and accommodating throughout the whole process. I have no complaints. Thank you Lavish for making my wedding a beautiful dream come true!

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.

I had a very disappointing experience with Freedom Brides…read more One of my biggest concerns was the lack of communication and customer service. Throughout the process, I was the one who had to repeatedly reach out for updates rather than receiving proactive communication from the business. Months after making payments, I was still being told that pricing and estimates were pending. When it came time to move forward, I was informed that the seamstress needed for my project was not available. I was later offered a partial refund, but as of the date of this review, I have still not received it. The owner also did not have the details of my situation correct and stated that I had gone in for multiple fittings, when I had only met with the seamstress once. This added to the confusion and frustration. After this experience, I worked with a bridal shop in Carlsbad, and the difference in customer service was night and day. They were organized, communicated clearly, followed up proactively, and kept me informed throughout the process without me having to constantly reach out for updates. As a customer, I value communication, transparency, and follow-through. Unfortunately, this experience was stressful and left me feeling unsupported during an important time in my wedding planning. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this business.
