I had no stress during the entire process. Her expertise in finding all the vendors was invaluable to all of us. I would have never known where to begin. She was with my daughter and her fiancé every step of the planning process. Diana is thoughtful, kind, and extremely professional. We had some last minute changes and she handled them with ease. She has a very efficient team behind her, I highly recommend to have her two assistants working with her the day of the event. Every request we had was taken care of quickly and effectively. I can tell she loves what she does because she always has a smile on her face. If anything went wrong the day of the wedding none of us knew about it. If you want a stress free wedding/event then Diana Dorsey is the person you should hire. Diana, Roy and I can't thank you enough for taking care of Adina and Edgar.

I cannot recommend Diana Dorsey more as a wedding planner and coordinator if you are in search of…read moreone for your special day. Being a full-time working and first-time bride, I had no idea the amount of time and detail it would take to plan a wedding. From day one, Diana made my fiancé and me feel so comfortable and confident throughout every step of the process. From our weekly calls, her team of vendors, and most importantly, her kindness, attentiveness, and skill, she made our dream wedding come true. Again, if you are on the fence about considering a planner or month-of coordinator, I cannot recommend Diana enough. Our wedding went so smoothly, and I am confident it would not have without her and her team. I admire all the work she put into our wedding and hope to attend another event coordinated by her in the future!

Five stars isn't enough for Chef Shelby Starks and A Mother's Touch! We booked a corporate team…read moreevent and it was one of the best decisions ever. Shelby and her staff welcomed our group of 8 with open arms (and snacks!), guided us through a beautiful multi-course meal, and made every step of the cooking process fun and approachable. The food was absolutely fantastic, and the fact that we made it together made it taste even better. What really set the experience apart was the personal touch. Shelby and her team served us, coached us, and shared wonderful Oakland-centric tips on local ingredients and menu inspiration that you just can't get anywhere else. If you're looking for a unique team outing, special celebration, or just a memorable way to connect over great food, look no further. We'd recommend A Mother's Touch to absolutely anyone!

Here to echo everyone else's praise! Rebecca was the best decision my husband and I made about our…read morewedding. Once we realized planning a wedding is not as easy as it seems, we reached out to Rebecca after running into her while planning someone else's wedding at our venue. Although it was luck that we found her, we would hire her again in a heartbeat. Rebecca is extremely organized, extremely creative, and a really, really, really nice person to be around. Both the planning and day of our wedding were such a joy, and we have Rebecca to thank for that. Our wedding had a lot of moving parts, and Rebecca worked equally well with nervous parents on logistics, with me on design details, and coordinating with vendors. (Our photographer and officiant hadn't worked with her before, and both separately commented that she was exceptionally organized and professional). Rebecca even managed to kindly wrangle all 17 members (seriously) of our "boisterous" bridal party. If you're wavering on hiring a planner, just do it. It doesn't mean the wedding won't be 100% your vision, but it does mean you won't be bogged down in the stress of vendor contracts and timetables, and can focus on the good stuff. THANK YOU REBECCA!

If we could give Rebecca 10 stars we would! Rebecca is truly incredible! From the moment we met…read moreher in our first planning meeting, we instantly clicked and knew she was the perfect planner to take our vision and execute it perfectly. We had some general ideas and a vision for our wedding day and she immediately "got it" and offered her creative ideas right away. We only had 5 months to plan an extravagant wedding with many little details and it turned out INCREDIBLE! The vendors that Rebecca suggested to us were all amazing and everyone worked so well together. All of our guests said it was the best wedding they ever attended. It truly was beyond our dreams! My wife and I feel so grateful that we found Rebecca and hope that we continue to stay in touch! If you are looking for a planner, look no further. You won't be disappointed with Rebecca and Be Hitched!!!

As a wedding planner myself - I always told prospective clients "the day I get married, I will hire…read morea wedding planner... it is crazy to think you can get through the day without one!" Well - I am a girl of my word. When my now husband proposed, one of the first phone calls I made was to Morgan at Spreading Lovely. Morgan is EXCEPTIONAL at what she does. From the moment I hired her, I already felt a sense of peace knowing that I had the best possible person in place to execute my wedding to perfection... Morgan and her team did exactly that. Morgan was hired for month of coordination services. From our first meeting it was clear that her primary goal was to make and keep me happy - I felt her genuine care and concern around every detail. She was so "locked in" at that meeting that it was clear NOTHING would slip through the cracks. Through the entire experience, it felt like I was working with an absolute pro and also a genuine friend. Morgan always had my interests and well-being in mind and knew exactly what to do in every scenario. Morgan went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure my day was special, flawless and exactly what I was dreaming of. I am forever grateful to Morgan and her team. They gave me the greatest gift of all - the ability to LET GO. As an admitted control freak and professional wedding planner - handing over your day to someone else to run with is scary. Well... not with Morgan at the helm of the ship. When the day of the wedding came, the unthinkable happened - I did not worry about a single detail. If you knew me, you'd realize what an insane feat this is. This is the true testament of Morgan and her greatness. If you are looking for a wedding planner that is equal parts professional, bad ass and kind - look no further then Morgan Miller!

After interviewing a ton of other planners and partial planners that all seemed to blur together, talking to Morgan was like talking to a friend. She has a calm demeanor, but you can see she has a passion for what she does and excitement she brings to all of her clients. That passion was evident throughout the entire process and her calmness was such an asset when any issue or stress-point would come up. The entire process was a joy, which I know is not the case in wedding planning so often. Morgan was able to create a design brief from our all-over-the-board style to a cohesive look and feel for the wedding that was even more beautiful than I could have imagined, but still felt so us. She helped us find rentals for what we could rent and pointed us in the direction for the cheapest options to buy other items which was so helpful. The end result was not only stunning, but more importantly stress-free for us and our parents which was the most important thing we wanted out of a planner. Numerous guests, after-the-fact, commented how all of us just looked so happy and stress-free. Guests pick up on that, and they were totally right - we were able to completely enjoy ever minute of the wedding weekend. Both my husband and I cannot say enough good things about Morgan. Hire her today - you will not regret it!

Shannon saved our wedding over and over again -- we couldn't have asked for a better wedding…read moreplanned. From the beginning, she was amazing. She describes herself as a "mellow Type A", and that's really true. She's not in-your-face and intense like some of the planners we considered, and yet she gets the job done beautifully, is super on top of her stuff, and shines when obstacles arise (before and during day-of). We had a relatively complicated wedding, for ~130 guests, 2 completely different locations for ceremony and reception, and a lot of customization. Shannon was incredibly patient with us all the way, and truly understood what mattered and what didn't, and helped us create a day that truly looked like us. She also calmed us during the entire process, even when we hit major snags (like having the bar company cancel on us the week before the wedding) -- her expertise and know-how really came to shine during those times. All throughout, she was a pleasure to work with. We'd hire her over again and again. Thank you, Shannon, for your amazing work!

From our first conversation she listened to what I wanted and gave great suggestions. My wedding was in the fall so we went with the rich velvet table for the sweetheart table with the king and queen chairs! I loved everything about it. The wedding party linen was lavender. She provided these beautiful gold vases which matched the decor perfectly! The queen and king chairs were a hit! Every one wanted to take pictures in them. Angelica & her assistant were super professional and very responsive. She answered all text and emails within an hour. I wish I would have used more of her services. Affordable prices!!! In the wedding vendor world that is super hard to come by. I will use her for all my parties moving forward.

I decided to check out their Instagram site, and I was really impressed with the creativity, and color schemes she was able to create using the events theme. I called, and spoke to Angelica the owner. I told her the colors we were having for our wedding theme, and a few days later she sent me a few picture ideas of backdrops, and table linen creations to match. So, are you telling me you are going to do all my stressful dirty work?! Hell yeaaaa....where do I sign lol?! I hired her to decorate the dessert table, and the sweetheart table with the matching backdrop that also included the letter of our last name, and ordered two throne chairs to really set the tone. Our wedding colors were silver, and purple, with bling accents. She did a really good job. She also delivered and set up everything before the wedding, and came back to pick up everything once the reception was over. She's a brides angel.
