Mandi was our hero; she knew our vision, and we always felt informed and supported by her. Not to mention, the vendors the club recommended were wonderful and reputable. We had lots of great meetings, and even though there is a lot to decide for your own wedding, Mandi helped put us at ease time and time again. Lastly, our ceremony was a Hindu ceremony, and it was really helpful to have the option to do an indoor or outdoor wedding here in case of heavier rain--but we happened to luck out! I highly recommend Cuvier Club and definitely suggest going to their bi-yearly extravaganza, which is well worth the price to try out all they have to offer. Thanks for the wonderful wedding!

Elena and her team were absolutely phenomenal and made our wedding day so much more enjoyable and stress-free. Day-of Coordination: Elena stood out not only on the wedding day but also in the months leading up to it. She was incredibly helpful during the planning process--offering thoughtful insight into creating a seamless timeline and even helping with ideas for decor and place settings tailored to our outdoor, beachy (and occasionally windy!) wedding. She thought of every detail, from preparing us in advance to get those dreamy photos (like the first kiss and cake cutting) to ensuring everything ran on schedule without a hitch. On the day, Elena was a true lifesaver. From the rehearsal to the ceremony and reception, I never once had to worry about where I needed to be or what was next. She kept everything moving smoothly, pointing me in the right direction while allowing me to fully enjoy the company of our guests and the magic of the day. And she always made sure we were taken care of (never without a drink in hand!). Her leadership and attention to detail made it all so effortless for us. Florals: Melissa tackled all of our floral arrangements, and I couldn't have been happier with how they turned out! Working within my limited budget, she brought my vision to life with stunning florals that perfectly matched our style and the seaside setting. Melissa truly understood the look I was going for, and her creativity and expertise made every arrangement stand out beautifully. She even gave me a calming pep talk before I walked down the aisle, which was such a thoughtful touch during a nerve-wracking moment. If you are considering a wedding at Scripps Seaside Forum (or anywhere else), I cannot recommend I-Do highly enough. Elena is an incredible coordinator who will make your wedding day run flawlessly, and Melissa will make your vision a reality. Thank you, Elena and Melissa, for helping make our wedding day unforgettable!

Melissa was incredible - she helped us plan our reception at Seabird Resort and I truly feel like…read moreshe went above and beyond- in logistics and emotional support! I booked her early and we initially just did a couple meetings to discuss our vision and needs regarding coordination, vendor contracts and florals since we did not need a full-planning service, only partial. She was always upfront and gave me honest opinions especially when it came to where to splurge and save, and what could look good and what wouldn't. The last 2 months is where she really shined, helping us follow up with vendors on details, setting deadlines for me to book rentals, reviewing contracts and constantly doing sanity checks when I needed it. The day of, she came extremely prepared, everything flowed smoothly (except some technical issues on part of the venue) and she was great at going with the flow and just letting the vibe and natural mood of the day go, and fixing whatever problems I threw at her. We also had her as our florist and she truly out did herself- her prices were incredibly reasonable and she handled everything like a champ when her assistant got sick the day of the reception. She also took my back and forth floral design suggestions and changes very well, as I am quite particular on details in some areas and deferred to her expertise in others. Honestly could not have done it without her and she was without a doubt my #1 worth it vendor! Would absolutely hire her for all your wedding planning and floral needs.

We were getting zero response from anyone we tried to get a hold of down there and started to worry our plan wasn't going to happen. We knew we needed a professional. We found Amy online and had an initial phone call consult and that was pretty much all we needed. When we first met Amy, I knew she was the one to get it done. She's straight forward, very direct(which I love), extremely responsive(trust me, my then fiance hit her up constantly and she was ALWAYS so responsive and patient), she is extremely professional, and she just gets SHT DONE! Every step of the way, she was there for us. She kept us calm, minimized our stress levels and gave us the confidence that our day was going to be a success. She made several trips down to Mexico to deal with the different vendors and always gave much needed guidance and advice. Come to our wedding day, all of her and my wife's work came to fruition. The day was absolutely PERFECT. Everything flowed as planned and Amy was just as good as it gets. I wouldn't recommend anyone else. She's the consummate pro. THANK YOU for making this day the most memorable day of our lives!!

The wedding and reception ran timely and smoothly. The buffet dinner offered a variety of options and everything was tasty! There were plenty of seats and tables to ensure every guest had a place to hang out before and after the formal dinner. Heat lamps and tabletop fire pits were set up throughout the venue in the evening. What I did notice was how great and attentive the staff were in every aspect - at the bar, passing hors d'oeuvres, buffet dinner, photobooth. I really appreciated a female staff member notice who wasn't drinking alcohol and provided apple cider so they can participate in toasts! A staff member was also stationed by the main entrance which I'd assume is to prevent party crashers and ensure guests aren't walking out with alcohol (they thought my water was alcohol). The only downside of this gorgeous venue is the parking situation. We parked in a paid parking garage at the Morgan Stanley building for $25. It is a 0.2 mile walk to the venue.

It was exhausting but my experience with Full Moon Bridal exceeded all the other stores. Her store was well stocked and I was on a time crunch since my wedding was just three months away since we decided to do a wedding venue after all. The dresses were well organized as I wanted something simple and elegant. When I went to Full Moon Bridal it was more of a personal experience unlike other stores. You had the whole store to yourself and friends if you chose to bring them. She was so helpful with helping me try on the dresses and I got to pick quite a few to try on versus being limited like other stores. I went to about 4 or 5 stores after hers and I knew the dress I tried on at her store was the one and went back. It was also in my price range! I had it altered with her and the dress fit perfectly and the length was spot on. I highly recommend going to Full Moon Bridal. Yanna is the best and my dress was perfect!!!

I also appreciated that she gave us ideas for things like personalized napkins for cocktail hour, photos on the tables, etc. but also was upfront about which details she thought took a lot of time and money and weren't worth stressing about.

After being there for 1.5 hours, I left with a stack of magazines, vendor information, a wedding resource book, and a better idea of what I wanted for my wedding. Leah helped me a lot in having me rank the different wedding related items to see what was important to me. This helped me with determining my budget and made me realize what was important for me to include in the wedding. Leah also followed up with me on certain vendors after our appointment and was always willing to help. The only downside with The Bridal Bar is that they only recommend vendors that pay them to advertise their services. Since they are in La Jolla, a number of the vendors are on the pricier side. There's no expense to you to use their services though, so I definitely recommend them to anyone planning their wedding in San Diego.

Catherine helped us plan our wedding in May 2017…read more The Venue recommended Catherine to us and we're so glad they did. We dreamed of a non-conventional wedding and had a vision of the wedding but didn't really know how to bring it to life. We live in Orange County and selecting a wedding venue in La Jolla an hour and a half away only added to the uneasiness. We needed someone connected to all types of vendors in San Diego who could coordinate and bring together our vision. She did exactly that! Catherine is a good mix of excitement, sweetness and structure. She will tell you what she thinks and whether something will work or not which is what we wanted. We didn't want someone to say yes to every floating idea we had but rather take all our ideas and create the vision. She took calls with us mid-day to answer our questions, replied to emails promptly, connected us with the vendors we were looking for, coordinated payments, she did it all! The thing I'm most grateful of is her poise on our wedding day. The unthinkable happened on our wedding day.....It Rained! Everything was getting rained on outside, the vendor was thinking of pulling her items from the outdoor engagement and setting up in a back-room instead , and some how/some way Catherine convinced her to wait for the rain to pass, calmed her down and set-up the decor again right before the cocktail hour. It was really amazing and everything turned out perfect, thanks to her cool composure.

I'd give her 100 stars if I could! I first came across her services back in 2014 when I scheduled an appointment at Nordstroms for a stylist. I needed very professional wear but absolutely hate clothes shopping. And my sister, who is so good at shopping, was living hundreds of miles away. I didn't realize what a great stylist she was until the following year when I scheduled with a different stylist and received such awful service I had to write the manager of Nordstroms about it. For instance, she was shopping for herself a new pair of shoes while I was trying on clothes! I had to go hunt her down and found her in the shoe department! Anyway, I've since hired Catherine for her services each year to help me add fresh pieces into my wardrobe. What I really like about her is that if you say you don't like something, she doesn't try and goad you into getting it anyway. She makes a mental note and won't use those styles or colors for future outfits. She understands style and also fits with what your personal style and tastes are. She's incredible to work with and I will continue to hire her with confidence to help me with putting my wardrobe together and/or when I need new pieces. She's also cognizant of budgets and will take photos of ideas for you so you can find cheaper versions of the look. I also love her non-judgemental and positive attitude! She won't let you talk shit about yourself!

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.
