HARLENE IS GODSENT. I had a COVID plan C wedding and let me tell you, hiring Harlene as our wedding…read moreplanner was the BEST DECISION WE EVER MADE ABOUT OUR ENTIRE WEDDING. Harlene stuck it with us for 3 long years. We were only one of many weddings she had to re-plan due to COVID and she handled it like a total boss. From wedding dress fittings, to ring shopping, to venue scouting, to day of planning... Harlene was there the entire time to help us figure out every last detail of our wedding/ reception. She was so on top of everything. She managed all of the vendor emails and contracts, tracked our budgeting, reviewed the proposals, helped us weigh our options, sent us reminders on paperwork, managed our wedding itinerary and timelines etc. It was so much but she just navigated through all of it like a pro. Not only does she have so much industry experience and knowledge, but she's so personable and caring as a person as well. My husband and I are very chill and 'go with the flow' type of people. Sometimes to the point where I might say yes to something I don't actually like. Harlene caught on to that and encouraged me to speak up in order to get what I really wanted for my wedding. And I really appreciated her being able to teach me how to stand up for myself. We avoided so many potential wedding regrets by her calling so much of this out. Wedding planning is a whole different world and I didn't realize it could be such an emotional and psychological roller-coaster lol. Harlene went above and beyond for us with our wedding and I can't even find the words to express how much we appreciate her help through all the chaos of wedding planning. We changed dates/ venues/ locations multiple times and she led the planning so flawlessly. We decided to elope in Maui 4 months before the date so she literally helped us book all the vendors and draw up the itinerary within just a few months. If you're debating on hiring Harlene, just do it. You won't regret it. She's an expert planner, has so many industry connections (helped us find our other vendors as well), she's well organized, always responsive and in general is just an amazing human being (plus she has a fire wardrobe - I always loved seeing her outfits every time we met lol). We absolutely love Harlene and although our wedding was nothing like we were initially planning, it turned out perfect in every way. We love you Harlene! Thank you so much for everything! P.S. Sorry this review was long overdue!

We had a multi day fusion wedding and every single moment was perfect. Harlene made the process so stress free and fun for us.

Her creativity honestly blew…read moremy mind -- the designs she came up with were elegant, beautiful, and bold all at the same time. You can tell she really thinks through every detail. One thing I really appreciated was how much I learned from her. She took the time to explain why certain ideas would or wouldn't work for our event, and as a visual person, that transparency helped me trust her completely. By the time we got to the day of the event, I already knew we were in good hands -- and she still went above and beyond to make sure we loved everything she provided. I've worked with her several times for much smaller events over the years, and her professionalism and creativity never cease to amaze me. Isabel is that rare mix of talent, reliability, and genuine care for her clients. If you're thinking about hiring her -- do it. You'll be blown away too.

Thanks Mike, so happy to have you part of our special day!

My AMAZING wedding would not have been possible without TDE! We chose the Glitz package with a few…read moreadd-ons, and it was worth every penny. 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.

We loved having the flexibility to include our favorite songs while also trusting his experience to keep the music flowing throughout the evening.

Overall, things went smoothly, which I greatly appreciated! She was also very responsive to me and helped ensure that my timeline went as planned. Her pricing is also competitive and she has an office in Pleasant Hill if you and/or your venue is closer to that area. She also made herself available when I contacted her, even though at the time my wedding was only a month away, when others had said that they'd need more time. Best of all, she had my Mom's sincere seal of approval, since I had mainly decided to hire a wedding planner to reduce both her stress and mine the day of the wedding! If you are in search of a wedding planner, even if it's mainly for the day of the wedding (which was what I needed, so I asked for her "month of" package"), I highly recommend using her!
