She made our wedding dreams come true, and made the process of planning our wedding enjoyable! Not only does she have impeccable taste, she is also a wonderful person that you want to surround yourself with when planning your special day. She is honest, clear, well connected and will always point you in the right direction. If you are asking yourself should I work with a wedding planner for my special day, the answer is absolutely. Is Genevieve and the Lily Spruce team the ones you should go with? They are worth every penny.

I've attended weddings that chose to forgo a wedding planner and you could see the difference when it came to organization and keeping folks in order. Genevieve and her team was a dream come true for our wedding during the pandemic. I was those brides who had to postpone our wedding twice. She took good care of us during that time of uncertainty and I didn't feel alone at all. Our wedding was at California Academy of Sciences. I loved seeing her take my Pinterest inspirations and bring it to life at the venue. Genevieve and her team took all the weight off my shoulders when it came to scheduling with all the vendors and decoration placement. They were very attentive to my emotional needs on the day of the wedding as well. Genevieve and team, ya'll hold a special spot in our hearts for making it a wonderful wedding day that we will never forget. Thank you so much for all you've done for us. Sending lots of peace and love to the team at Lily Spruce.

My husband and I received countless compliments on how smooth, organized, and beautiful our wedding was. Thanks to the incredible TDE team, I was able to enjoy the most perfect wedding day. Jessica: Jessica was our main point of contact throughout the planning process, and she was truly amazing. Whether we had questions or requests for the decorators, MC, DJ, day-of coordinator, photographers, videographers, or HMUA, she was always there to help. She was patient, kind, incredibly organized, and never made me feel like my questions were too much. Our Service Instruction worksheet was so detailed that every vendor knew exactly what to expect, which made the entire day run seamlessly. Decoration Team: The décor for both our ceremony and reception was absolutely stunning. Just two weeks before the wedding, I made a major change to our reception backdrop, and the team worked hard to bring my new vision to life. Jessica even arranged for me to see digital mockups after we discussed how important they were to me. Because of that, I was able to completely refresh the design from the inspiration I had shared over a year earlier. My advice: be as specific as possible about what you like and don't like--it really helps the decorators create your vision. Everything was executed beautifully. MC Eric: Eric was phenomenal! We specifically wanted a bilingual English/Vietnamese MC, and he exceeded every expectation. Even our hard-to-impress Vietnamese aunties and uncles couldn't stop complimenting him. He was charismatic, organized, and handled last-minute changes effortlessly. We had to adjust our timeline during the reception, including pausing photos and adding speeches, and he kept everything flowing naturally without awkward downtime. He also perfectly coordinated our unique sequence of dances with the DJ, making every transition feel seamless. DJ Otis: We didn't know who our DJ would be until the wedding day, and we were thrilled it was Otis! He absolutely nailed the music all night. The dance floor stayed packed until 11 PM because he knew exactly how to read the crowd. He mixed current hits with 70s-90s favorites that kept both younger guests and the older Vietnamese crowd dancing. The glow sticks and light-up glasses were a huge hit, and the energy never dropped. Day-of Coordinator Carina: Carina was incredible. She was warm, personable, and unbelievably organized. I thought my planning documents were detailed, but hers were even more thorough! She made me feel completely at ease leading up to the wedding and even drove to Pleasanton to run our rehearsal (an add-on that was absolutely worth it). Multiple vendors and family members commented on how efficient and organized she was. Photography & Videography: Our package included an engagement shoot plus two photographers and two videographers. Sam photographed both our engagement session and wedding, and his work was beautiful. We chose his light and airy editing style, and our engagement photos turned out amazing. On the wedding day, Sam and Christine were fantastic. They captured every moment while making us feel comfortable. One thing I'll never forget was how Sam noticed we hadn't had a moment to ourselves because of nonstop photos. He quietly pulled us away under the guise of a private reception reveal so we could enjoy a few peaceful minutes together. It was such a thoughtful gesture. Overall, I couldn't be happier that we chose TDE. If you're looking for a wedding that's beautiful, organized, low-stress, and genuinely enjoyable, I HIGHLY recommend them. They truly made our dream wedding come to life.

I had a very positive experience working with TDE. It was easy to schedule a free consultation,…read morewhere we first spoke with Otis, and could ask many questions up front before deciding to move forward. Otis was kind with great attention to detail from the start. Ultimately, we decided with the glam package and our contract was very clear to understand with cost breakdown for removal of specific services / add-ons. I updated it many times with Jessica, our planner, as we made changes throughout the months, and she was always so patient and clear. Our MC Otis did a wonderful job with maintaining flow of the program. Otis was also working as DJ for a good portion of the evening, so props to him! We had closer to an hour compared to 1.5 hours of open dancing because we were behind schedule, but everybody was on the dance floor and he kept the party going seamlessly. Weddings are hectic and there are so many moving parts; we did get behind schedule but we were still able to do everything we wanted to do. Our photo & video services were set to end, but Otis was very professional in discussing with us if we wanted to extend our video services, communicative on additional cost, at the moment. Our photographer, Ben, along with the team Stanford and videographer, Christina, were so fun to work with. Ben was great at providing direction, which is especially helpful since we were not used to posing. I have not received photo & video yet as it has only been a week, but from an experience standpoint, they were attentive to detail, communicative, and glided effortlessly through the event. My makeup artist, Vivi, is the sweetest person. She was super attentive to detail and my particular skin type. I was worried about makeup because I don't wear heavy makeup often. I ended up paying for a make-up trial, and I was so happy working with Vivi that I had no worries for the wedding day. We also added-on make up for our mothers, which Vivi did the morning of. The reception decor turned out so pretty! Everything was set-up as scheduled. I was really happy with the welcome backdrop and name sign. It was also great to take pictures with guests with the backdrop since we had time during cocktail hour. We asked TDE to incorporate a large screen as the backdrop of our sweetheart table, so we found an example from a previous wedding they did, and it turned out exactly as expected. We added the photo-booth, which was so popular with the guests! There were so many cool props and our guests were having tons of fun with it. I also sent TDE a custom drawing that I wanted for the photo strips- and it turned out just like I imagined. We chose Grand Dynasty as our reception venue, and TDE communicated set-up details with our restaurant event manager, Esmond, in the days leading up to the event. I highly recommend TDE and the team that we worked with! Thank you for making it an unforgettable experience.

Throughout the entire planning process, Dani was patient, calm, and attentive. She answered all of our questions with a smile and made us feel confident every step of the way. On the day of my daughter's 18th birthday February 21,2026, we had the room reveal--and it was absolutely breathtaking. My family and I were truly "DANIFIED"!

We live in NYC, where I'm from originally, and my husband is from the Bay. Needless to say, it was difficult to plan a wedding on the other side of the country. As an East Coaster, I had no idea of wedding vendors and venues in the Bay Area. So when we found Inna from Any Occasion, it was a miracle! Inna was so open, kind, and fun! In our meetings, Inna was very thorough and made sure all items were addressed. When my parents got involved, she worked with them just as easily as with us, and helped them feel included in the process. Inna has a wealth of knowledge, so when we were on joint calls with vendors, Inna made sure all the right questions were asked. She also indulged us in some of our ideas, and made sure we had a special touch throughout the events (we had a welcome party, church ceremony, reception, and post-wedding brunch). On the day of the wedding, Inna was present and yet blended in--she also made sure we were fed and taken care of! Thank you so very much, Inna! We had so much fun working with you and making the entire process less overwhelming for us. We truly could not have done it without you!

We had so much fun in every class and practicing in between. It was such a fun couple activity that brought us even closer. And now we have our very own choreographed dance that we can do every anniversary :) If you're thinking about getting a choreographer or deciding between a few, we would without a doubt recommend Erin!

We are happy to report that we found just what we were seeking in Mayra! While there are options aplenty for amazing florists, we were looking for very minimal florals, with the main role of our decorator to bring to life our vision for some highly specific, unique, quirky custom centerpieces. We were blessed with many remarkable vendors, but the determination and sheer number of hours Mayra dedicated to bringing our décor vision to life was unparalleled. She made long commutes throughout the year to share her progress, and each time we were blown away with the beautiful new additions she had created. Each little detail came together flawlessly on the day of the event, and her team worked with our coordinators to make the set-up and take-down a breeze. We were left with gorgeous and priceless mementos of our day to cherish for the future. If you are looking for event décor and have unique needs, if you appreciate the nostalgia of an old-fashioned business pro who loves to build relationships with your family members and have meetings face-to-face, if you're seeking creative visionary paired with detail expert, Mayra is your clear choice!
