    Where do I begin. Amanda pretty much saved our hearts and minds during our engagement. She somehow made our lives bearable. Now I know engagements are supposed to be all about love and happiness and that is true, it's such an amazing time but I will be totally honest, planning a wedding is STRESSFUL! And you need someone like Amanda to help keep you both keep sane and to take some of the load off from your already busy lives so you can actually enjoy your engagement. My amazing fiancé (now husband) and I probably had it more rough than most but Amanda somehow held it together until the end. We never saw if she was frustrated or not during our engagement, she never showed us anything but calm, cool and collected professionalism. To name just a few of the things we went through so you can understand how amazing Amanda is and how startling it is that she was able to manage it all; I had some serious medical conditions causing us to postpone our wedding a year and cut our budget significantly, both my mom and my then fiancés dad were in serious condition with long hospital stays at different times, we lost four of our precious fur babies (2- 15 year olds and 2 new babies to help us get over losing our older ones), and we had a wedding vendor that cancelled our contract due to a difference in opinion on a color of paint. Now you can imagine all the late night/ early morning phone calls, texts, and emails that the amazing Amanda must have received throughout our engagement. She called our vendors, worked on contracts behind the scenes, dealt with issues so we only had to do what was needed. Amanda also made sure we were on top of things on our end. She gave us checklists and to dos to make it simple. Once a month, Amanda met with us (although sometimes it was more, if needed) to made sure we were getting what was done to make our wedding the one we had always wanted. All in all; Amanda had to be tough and yet sensitive, she had to be our support system when no one else was there and had to be the one on our side, to get our voice heard and to basically, well, get the job done. So if that is what you want during your engagement- Amazing Amanda from Sassy Little Bee is your Wedding Planner/Coordinator. She is one of a kind and I will never forget her and all she did for us for the rest of our lives.

    Sassy Little Bee. How appropriate. =0) I love the new name! This review is long overdue but I am reminded constantly by guests of what an amazing job Amanda and her team did at our wedding and I agree with them completely so I have to share. We first met Amanda when her business name was Botanic Allure (not surprised yelp reviews are 5 stars there too!) in the summer of 2015. Our awesome wedding was May 28, 2016. We started planning our wedding a year before and by the time we met Amanda, my husband, and I had met with a couple of other wedding planners and even considered asking my maid of honor to be our planner. First off, any family member, friend, or otherwise guest should never be a potential wedding planner because, let's face it, its a mistake, and for several reasons. You need someone that has EXPERIENCE and can be emotionally detached to be able to give you honest and direct feedback. Second, your guests are supposed to be guests and take part and enjoy your special day with you. Amanda was referred to us by our DJ and upon meeting her, we knew it was the right fit. We connected with her in a way that we didn't with the other wedding planners. As a gay couple, we felt it was important that we had someone that would connect with us and be honest about our choices and concerns when it came to the wedding planning and Amanda did just that. Amanda has a relaxed, yet professional personality that, of course, won us over. Yes, like everyone else, the cost was a concern, and what we loved about Amanda, is that she offered three separate packages that could fit any one's needs. I remember we chose the middle of the two packages but looking back at it now, would I had found her sooner, I would have booked her for the whole year of planning. Meeting her for the first time, she was able to tell us about each package and why each was so unique and catered to what we needed. Throughout the months after booking her services, Amanda was available by email, by text or by the phone like she promised. We expected her to be busy with weddings being year round but she knew how to communicate her availability and always delivered with what she promised. Amanda truly went above and beyond when making suggestions, offering vendor referrals, and making it to appointments like walkthroughs, etc. On the day of our wedding, Amanda truly shined. She truly made the day run smoother than we could have ever imagined. She had previously said that her goal was to make sure we didn't notice any hiccups or delays in our timeline and she kept her promise. Everything was perfect. She even filled the gap in areas that our hotel venue lacked responsibility. Our vendors all worked in great unison and I have no doubt it was in big part because Amanda was making sure everyone was on top of their assigned areas. We received amazing feedback from other vendors and from our guests of how great Amanda did and how attentive she was to every little detail. Amanda, you are truly a force to be reckoned with. Our venue decor was exactly as we planned, our reception is unforgettably special, and the compliments we continue to receive are priceless. We truly thank you for everything you did.

    There is absolutely no one more qualified and more trustworthy than Amanda and her team at Sassy Little Bee. My ultimate goal for our wedding day was to be stress free and not "work", as I have seen other brides/grooms and family members do before and after a wedding. Amanda and the Sassy Little Bee team were on time, efficient, detailed oriented and extraordinary. Amanda worked with me through the entire process and accommodated my endless questions, fluctuating schedules, over-demanding venue, and my peculiar wedding décor ideas. She was remarkably meticulous and organized with her coordination, which is a huge relief for any bride and mother of the bride who can be somewhat overbearing with party details. Being able to spend genuine time with our family the day before the wedding, and simply relaxing the day-of, knowing and trusting that everything is taken care of by Amanda was truly priceless. As my new husband and I were announced into the reception hall for the first time after the ceremony - I was amazed and speechless at how beautiful everything turned out. She met and surpassed all expectations I had (which is very hard to do). I truly enjoyed working with her. Hiring Sassy Little Bee was the BEST decision we made in all of our wedding planning.

From the planning process to day of coordinating, you will be in great hands. My husband even said that the day-of coordinating was one of the best things he's ever experienced. I'm such a Type-A person, but I left everything in their hands and they delivered! Everyone always says something goes wrong on wedding day, but I truly cannot think of anything that went wrong. 10/10 recommend the Lavish team!

    We cannot say enough great things about the Lavish Wedding Team, and especially Gabriela! 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.

We put our trust into them entirely to help guide us through the process and design the most stunning wedding, even when we were planning from across the country! Molly and Rachel helped us plan both the welcome party and the wedding, and both went perfectly. They were so communicative with both us and our many questions, and with the rest of the vendors.

If you want an elegant, chic wedding with zero stress, these are the planners you need. They planned the most beautiful wedding in Palm Springs, and it was absolutely everything I dreamed of and more. Everyone tells you something will go wrong on the wedding day and to go with the flow - I was fully prepared for that, but literally was PERFECT. From day one, they made me feel like I was planning my wedding with two of my best friends who just happen to be experts at throwing the perfect event. The day of the wedding I had so much fun getting ready with friends I didn't even think about a single logistic because I knew everything was handled. Molly communicates so well and kept me in the loop every step of the way without overwhelming me. It never felt like there was a problem or a big deal with anything; they just handled it all, making everything feel super easy and stress-free so I could enjoy my day. Things I mentioned a year ago - Molly would bring up months later and I was shocked at how she could remember everything. They really took my vision and brought it to life in the most stunning way. It was clear they were totally focused on making sure everything was exactly what I wanted, and it turned out perfect. I'm so grateful to Molly and Rachel for making our wedding day exactly what we dreamed of. It was honestly perfect, and I couldn't have asked for a better team to bring it all together. If you want a flawless, chic wedding without the stress, these ladies are your dream team!

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!

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.

It felt like she could anticipate things before they happened. Lindsay is a magician.

I knew as soon as our initial meeting was over I knew that I wanted to work with Jen. I checked with my soon-to-be husband and family and we finalized our decision with a simple contract to use Jen for her "Day Of" coordination. We had a few meetings between then and the wedding, but most of our communication was through email and phone. She visited my venue with me shortly before the wedding to help me smooth out a couple of kinks, and gave me options and ideas for any other problem I had. Fast-forward to our wedding day. Everything went PERFECTLY. I can't even begin to say how grateful I am that we decided to work with Jen. My dad had arrived at the venue hours before I did to help set up, and later couldn't stop expressing how impressed he was with Jen's professionalism.

Last minute we were worried that an LED dance floor might look tacky but it was beautiful, fun, and a huge hit. They changed the colors on the dance floor depending on what part of the reception we were at so during some of the family performances there were beautiful white lights and during the open dance floor it changed colors. I might recommend having some kind of gradient to the elevated LED dance floor in case people aren't looking down when they walk on, but that might be hard to employ! We weren't the kind of couple that was very nitpicky about each part of the decor (so I can't speak for those couples that have more of a detailed vision) but I thought, for us, the finished product was classy, glamorous, and fun.
