Simply put, Sassy Little Bee is the reason we had our wedding in Southern California, and was the…read moresingle best decision we made!!! Her experience, thoughtfulness, enthusiasm, attention to detail, amazing list of vendors/friends, and love for what she does didn't just complement our wedding - it defined it!! As New Yorkers, for several months after our engagement we flirted with the idea of a destination wedding, but were overwhelmed by the choices and the prospect of managing a list of vendors from across the country. After one conversation with Amanda, our trepidation disappeared and was replaced with pure enthusiasm for what we could do together. With zero hesitation, we signed up for a "Full Service Wedding Planning" package and never looked back! Pretty quickly into the process, Amanda assessed our vision, and introduced us to a tremendous group of vendors, helped us lock in our venue (Darlington House in La Jolla), and provided a roadmap to help us understand what the road ahead would look like. Each month, for over a year, we had monthly calls with Amanda that were collaborative, productive, oftentimes therapeutic, and in an era of Pinterest-inspired fads and whims, kept us focused on our original vision. One of the most amazing qualities about Amanda is that she communicates extremely well with different personalities, has an instinctive awareness of her client's needs, and provides room for the process to be as collaborative or as done-for-you as you may want. Amanda went above and beyond in every regard for our wedding, and her commitment to us having *our* perfect wedding was unyielding. Over the course of planning our wedding, we made a couple trips out to California, not because we needed to, but in part because we were so excited to spend time with Amanda and the amazing vendors she introduced us to. A few months into our wedding planning process, we were so enamored with and impressed by Amanda, we even asked her to officiate our wedding. This was a testament not just to our extreme trust and faith in her, but how safe she made us feel throughout the process, how well she got to know us, and how obvious it was she was just as invested in our big day as we were. Turns out, it was a great decision; she was a phenomenal officiant -- truly magical and so incredibly thoughtful. (Not a surprise!) Throughout the wedding journey, we met and hired many super talented vendors, and could not have been more pleased with the results, but the singular credit for everything being as magnificent as it was goes to Amanda, her ability to communicate with our team of vendors, unite everyone behind a clear vision, and ensure it was executed precisely, with love and joy from all those who were involved. When you work with Amanda, you don't just get a wedding planner. You get a wedding visionary with the ability to take everything up a notch (or 10!) She works with love, coaxes it out of everyone involved, and truly embodies and executes on the ideal of a heart-centered wedding. Without reservation we recommend Sassy and her team for anyone looking for a unique, special, genuine, and/or well-executed wedding. We are forever grateful for Sassy Little Bee!

I would not have wanted anyone else by our side on our wedding day. Amanda is so calm and collected…read moreand efficient -- and a true professional in the industry. She will allow you to totally enjoy your day without noticing a single thing that may or may not go wrong. It almost felt surreal to fully experience and take in our wedding day after hearing how easily you get distracted or pulled in different directions. Looking back on the day I felt incredibly present and able to appreciate all the little moments - I genuinely feel Amanda is a big reason why. Amanda's nickname, Sassy Little Bee, is totally appropriate - she's super sweet, quirky and a kid at heart, but meantime she can be tough with vendors and won't let them get away with excuses. We had a few tiffs with a vendor and Amanda helped me through all the strife and headaches - even at 8am the morning after the wedding. Most importantly, hiring Amanda gave us total peace of mind. I was confident that her years of experience meant there wouldn't be a single detail forgotten and I was right (not to mention - have you SEEN her wedding day emergency kit?!). If you're getting married at Brick - don't look elsewhere. Amanda knows the venue like the back of her hand and can foresee any disaster as well as expedite approvals because she knows exactly what the venue needs from your vendors. Bonus - the sweetest touch was her thoughtful, handwritten card left at our table for us to read during dinner, reminding us to savor every moment of the night. Thank you Amanda for ensuring our wedding was such a smooth-running experience.

She got it done. Carrie doesn't hesitate and will stop to no ends to make your dream day an unforgettable one. My wedding was not an easy one with 3 ceremonies and 7 different vendors. Carrie has magic under her clip board or something because coordinating 7 vendors working unanimously to bring my day to fruition was perfect. I interviewed various coordinators and they were all hands off type relying on the vendors to perform. Carrie on the other hand would take off her heels and bust tables for you. So if you want someone that is passionate about your day as you, choose Carrie... I'm glad I did.

Michelle was easy to coordinate with, and set up and clean up was a total breeze thanks to Michelle and her team, allowing us to fully enjoy the celebration with our friends and family.

Update based on Gol's response:…read more - Your response to our review is inaccurate and shows the lack of communication we experienced. You told us how busy you were today having 2 other displays/events and it's obvious that we didn't get the best quality based on how busy you were. - We really just wanted to chat through this with you to figure out a reasonable updated price, but you avoided discussing it with us and never responded, so we made this review. - We did not say 6-7pm was fine for pickup. We mutually agreed on 4pm specifically bc our son goes to sleep between 6-7pm and we wanted everything from the party cleaned up before that. - The fact that it fell over again AFTER your employee supposedly fixed it, says it all. We had to go find bags of gravel to try to keep it standing during the middle of our party. - We did not leave her "equipment" in the street. We live in a nice neighborhood and we left your wooden boards near our front door, leaning safely against our house. - Gol was over 3 hours late to pickup her "equipment" so we actually thought we were doing her a favor, bringing everything to the front of our house. Super disappointed to be honest - these things happen. I'm disappointed at how poorly she handled the situation and how blatantly false her response was. ‍ --------------- Original post: Super disappointed bc they have so many 5 star reviews. - They showed up late to setup - The design was not what we asked for and confirmed prior to payment and the pictures she sent us confirming the design were not what she brought on the day of the party. - The display fell over numerous times, nearly falling on a few toddlers playing right next to it. - The balloons repeatedly came off and were popping - They were 3+ hours late in picking up the displays at the end of the day - We politely texted Gol stating why were weren't happy and she said she'd be there in person to address our issues. Instead of talking to us, she picked up her displays with out telling us she was here and stopped responding to us. Never using her services again. You're better off finding someone else!

Tuesday of the dinner week rolled around, and sure enough, the rain was confirmed for Thursday. I reached out to what felt like 1 million different companies, and most of the quotes were fairly high for a canopy. I found Arael Events here on yelp, and then I went to social media to see if I could find additional tagged photos of events they've done. Not that I needed an elaborate set up, but I wanted to make sure that the set up looked nice and that it would withstand the weather and wind. Her quote came in significantly lower than most other companies, and that included canopy walls, a string of lights down the center, as well as set up and teardown. They are quick, professional, and friendly! When I find a company that I believe in, they have my full support! I would highly recommend this company to anybody looking to rent for their events, so much so that after my event, they took down the canopy, and transported it just down the road to a friend's place for their weekend event, AND I booked them again for our team the following week.
