Hiring Alison Events was hands-down the BEST decision we made during the entire wedding planning…read moreprocess. We worked closely with Alison, Danielle, and Lauren over the course of a year and a half, and from start to finish, they were creative, calm, detail-obsessed, and just genuinely lovely human beings. They brought our vision to life in ways we couldn't have imagined. Every detail felt intentional and deeply personal, and somehow, the entire weekend felt both elevated and effortless. Our wedding was FLAWLESS. Coming from two people who weren't even sure we wanted a wedding, we were blown away by how much FUN we had. We can't stop gushing about it. Our guests are still telling us it was one of the best weddings they've ever been to. A special shoutout to Alisha, our day-of coordinator and real-life fairy godmother. She made everything on the bride side run seamlessly and was truly everywhere at once. From logistics to emotional support, she had me covered. I don't know what I would've done without her. Alison Events isn't just a wedding planner. They're a creative partner, a team of steady hands, and at times, our therapist through a very real and occasionally overwhelming process. If you're lucky enough to work with them, trust them completely. They are actual magic.

There truly aren't enough good things I could say about the team at AE. My (now) husband and I were…read morekind of the disaster clients when we first came to them: we wanted to plan a wedding in 4 months, couldn't decide where we wanted to do it, how big we wanted it or what exactly we wanted, thought we wanted to do wine country only to decide we wanted Hawaii, picked a venue that was somewhat tough to work with (Jesse and Andrea charmed the venue folks though and they ended up great)...the list goes on. On top of it, we thought we were laid-back/go with the flow people, but I'm pretty sure I should concede to being a control freak at this point in my life. I still don't know how they pulled off what they did, but they made our wedding absolutely amazing, and somehow made even the planning process pretty stress free (not easy to do when you decide to do a destination wedding 3-4 months out). The team truly delivers from every angle - style, creativity, efficiency, effectiveness - they helped us figure out what we wanted and were realistic with us about what what was doable. During our event, they managed everything down to a T, and did everything in their power to make it an incredible experience. After they saw I wasn't totally thrilled with the bouquet the florist brought (it was kind of giant), Jesse magically reworked the bouquet in the minutes before the ceremony to make it perfect. And they just bring joy and warmth to the whole thing. I now wish I had spent a whole year planning our wedding just so I could have spent more time with Jesse and Andrea (I basically begged them to be my friends in real life after it was all over). If you have a chance to work with AE, do it. There is a reason they have an international reputation - they are absolutely the best of the best.

My husband and I got married in May '19 in San Francisco, CA and we still look back on our wedding…read moreday in complete awe-- Lally and her incredible team are meticulous, professional, creative, and most importantly, so much fun to work with! The entire process from ideation, design, planning, and day-of execution was flawless, we couldn't be more happy with how everything turned out. Lally has incredible taste and a knack for design. She went above and beyond to deliver on the romantic, industrial, and modern design aesthetic we wanted to have for our special day, everything single detail was perfect. Lally is extremely organized and deeply connected in the wedding planning and events space in the Bay Area, which proved to be immensely valuable when selecting and partnering with our vendors. I had so much fun working with Lally on my wedding and seriously cannot recommend Lally Events enough, you will not regret your decision to hire her as your wedding planner!

The best day of our lives would have never happened without Lally. If you're looking for a wedding…read moreplanner, don't waste any more of your precious time or effort looking for someone else, trust me and go with Lally. If you're not sure you need a wedding planner, TRUST ME, you do, and you should go with Lally. Throughout the whole planning process up until past midnight after our actual wedding day, Lally was there at any time to help with whatever we needed. No joke, she cares so much that she made sure our maid of honor got to her room after a couple too many drinks, WAY after the event was over and all the guests were gone. She is the definition of caring, reliable, and trustworthy. At any point that my wife and I felt anxious or unsure of something, Lally was there to immediately take care of it and make us feel 1000% more relaxed and excited. We've been to many weddings since we got married, have seen how poorly in comparison their wedding planner was in handling an issue and always look at each other and say "Thank God we had Lally for our wedding!" I could go on and on about how highly we recommend Lally to anyone getting married. Your wedding should be the best day of your life. It was for us because of Lally, and it will be for you if you choose her as well.

We did not know what to expect, and even in our distress of a funeral, the event went off cleanly, with great attentiveness by Andres, the bartenders, the kitchen support team and everyone involved.

I will recommend them to all our attorney and corporate clients. the unique spaces are also quite great - nook for serving, outdoor deck MAGNIFICENT, corner spaces for DJ and anything ese....

So happy to see Eria Events bringing something new and exciting to the area!

We LOVED the China Cabin for our intimate Commitment Ceremony. We had 29 guests (including…read moreourselves) and the space was beautiful. It is lovely and the natural light that comes through the many windows makes for gorgeous pictures. It was easy working with Paige and the Landmark Society. There is a small bathroom onsite. There is not a kitchen, so your caterer sets up a tent out front. Parking - included all day for your guests (even though it's marked 2 hour limit - Paige hands out parking permits). Other vendors we used: Catering - Fork & Spoon - delicious food, attentive service Photography - Atrium - Dietrich Kraus - wonderful to work with Cake - Butter& in SF - Brown butter and Meyer Lemon - tasty! Flowers - I DIY'd these from Costco (made on Thursday for our Saturday event) - used the garlands at the front and the wreaths around the orchids

Comfy secure area to walk around while sailing. Everything went very smoothly. From Reservations to sailing! :) I will definitely keep hasty heart in mind for our next sailing desire. We are thinking of making it an annual tradition. ;) Thank you for a great trip and wonderful memories!

Sitting in the comfortable cockpit with your favorite people being served tasty drinks and appetizers by the friendly crew as you pass under the Golden Gate Bridge, past The City, Alcatraz and Angel Island and returning to the Mediterranean style village of Sausalito makes for a terrific, very special experience. You can choose the route and are welcome to take the wheel. They really care about making sure you are comfortable and happy. Hasty Heart used to be the private yacht of the family who owned the Mark Hopkins Hotel and it is now available for charter by the same Captain and his family. Their stories about the yacht are fascinating. I highly recommend spending a little more than the big group boats or the small sailboats and experience sailing the bay and beyond on this smooth sailing, luxury yacht away from the crowds and on top of the world.

The Ultimate Surprise: A 40th Birthday Dinner to Remember!…read more I don't even know where to begin -- my 40th birthday dinner was beyond anything I could have imagined. It was a total surprise, flawlessly planned and executed by the incredible team at Bash Please, and filled with exactly 40 of my favorite people. Yes, 40 people for 40 years -- how perfect is that? The setting was stunning. Bash Please somehow captured everything I love and turned it into an effortlessly beautiful, inviting, and joy-filled atmosphere. Every detail -- from the long communal tables to the coastal-inspired décor -- felt personal and thoughtful, like it was made just for me. Because it was. And the food? A crab feed feast that dreams are made of. Piles of fresh, buttery crab, warm sourdough, crisp salads, and all the fixings. The kind of meal that gets messy in the best way -- everyone cracking shells, passing platters, laughing, and making memories. It was communal, it was delicious, and it was so me. Champagne flowed, the conversations never stopped, and I felt completely surrounded by love. I genuinely can't think of a better way to ring in a new decade. Massive thanks to Bash Please for pulling off a night that was perfectly designed and truly unforgettable. I felt celebrated, cherished, and completely surprised -- and that's no easy feat. 10/10. Would turn 40 again.
