I wanted to take a moment to truly thank Shauna and her team for everything they did to bring our…read morewedding day to life. Planning, designing, and executing two ceremonies in one day is no small task, and she handled it all with such grace, organization, and calm confidence. From the very beginning, she made the entire process feel manageable and thoughtful. Her attention to detail and design vision ensured that both ceremonies felt cohesive yet distinct, and every transition throughout the day flowed seamlessly. I never once felt stressed on the wedding execution because I knew she had everything under control. The way she balanced logistics, timing, vendor coordination, and overall guest experience was incredible! Our family and friends kept commenting on how smooth and beautifully orchestrated the day felt and that is entirely a testament to her and her team! All of the vendors that she suggested and that we booked, were better than I could have ever imagined and my husband and I were blow away at each reveal of the day, from the florals, to the rentals and to the DJ. It was so fun to see the designs that we worked on together, come to life! Beyond her professionalism, her steady and reassuring presence meant so much to me personally. On a day with so many moving parts, she made me feel calm, supported, and able to fully soak in every moment. That is such a gift! Thank you, Shauna, for your creativity, organization, and heart. We are so grateful for you and would recommend you in a heartbeat!

Let's start off by saying Shauna is AMAZING! We hired Palm and Pine (Shauna) for coordination,…read moremeaning we were responsible for picking vendors, but I cannot imagine the planning process without Shauna. Whenever I had a question throughout the entire year of planning, she was there to answer (and quickly!), she referred us to a few stellar vendors that ended up making the day spectacular, and Shauna was such a calming presence to have on an otherwise overwhelming day. She was there for our venue walk-thru and asked super helpful questions, and also made sure everything we wanted was discussed and laid out ahead of time. She did all the coordination the month leading up to our wedding, and made the rehearsal and actual wedding day so much easier than I could have imagined. She deals with difficult personalities well, and commands attention and respect in a really graceful way (which you need from your planner/coordinator!). I can't imagine going through this process without Shauna and I would hire her again a million times over. If you're waffling on whether or not to get a planner/coordinator, 1. definitely do it, and 2. definitely do it with Shauna and her team!!!

Best Decision!! I…read morecontacted C & S Wedding Services on the recommendation of a co-worker. She spoke highly of Claudia and Sal and how great they were at her son's wedding. She was on point! From my first contact with Claudia and Sal I felt completely confident they would make our day special and stress free. Everything was timed perfectly according to our timeline. I am so happy with how everything came out. Our Wedding day was just what we had imagined. Thank you Claudia and Sal for your attention to detail and just being amazing at what you do.

Of course you want everything to come out perfect! We thought we had everything under control. But we didn't and we knew we needed help. After meeting with several coordinators there just wasn't a connect with any of them yet alone there price ranges were ridiculously high. Once we met with Them we just knew we found our coordinators! From the beginning they were on time, super friendly, easy going, and their packages are extremely reasonable! And a word I love hearing was Execute during our meeting. They did not pressure us what so ever we just knew we wanted them! Next day we signed our contract. My (now) Husband :) and I knew what we wanted and had a vision on how we wanted everything to be. There were a couple moments were I felt overwhelmed I texted Claudia. Soon enough she would either fix the problem, calm me down, run through our check list etc... Always had great communication she would respond promptly all the time. AND I mean ALL the TIME! Its great having some one in the industry that knows what their doing during a very stressful time. I did love every moment of it though! (All DIY) She called all my vendors to confirm, emailed everyone the itinerary, folded all my napkins, floor plan... Everything went by very smoothly the day of! #bestdayever Our wedding was just how we envisioned it or even better! Thank you for making it possible. We are extremely grateful with them and truly happy we had Claudia and Sal. Very amazing people!!! P.S They even helped us plan our Honeymoon

We had an incredible experience working with Dana! We started working with Dana roughly ~5 months…read moreinto planning our wedding, and from the moment we began, she jumped right in, connecting with our vendors to ensure the entire planning process was stress-free for us. Dana truly made our dream wedding a reality! We had a light blueprint of what we wanted (color scheme, florals, etc.), but we needed expert guidance to coordinate everything and ensure our vision was perfectly executed. Dana had several calls with us to review our ideas and offered so many great suggestions that we incorporated nearly all of them. She took the time to understand what we wanted and who we were, curating recommendations she knew we would love. From start to finish, Dana made the planning process completely stress-free. On our wedding day, she was everywhere--hustling from room to room to ensure everyone was on time, having fun, and that we had everything we needed for the big moment. She also worked closely with our vendors to set them up for success. Dana made the entire process look effortless! We cannot recommend Dana enough!

The best decision I made when planning my wedding was hiring Ryan for full coordination. Ryan gave…read moremy husband and me the wedding of our dreams, on a short timeframe and exactly on budget. We live in Boston, MA and were getting married at the Serra Retreat in Malibu, CA; we had also decided on a date that was only 6 months away. Both my mother and myself work full-time with long hours. Ryan made planning a wedding in 6 months from across the country possible. More than that, however, she made the planning process stress-free and enjoyable. Ryan is a calm and creative professional. The vendors she suggested exceeded our expectations and the budget she put together was accurate and reasonable. We are also a religious couple and Ryan was respectful of the sacred tone that we wanted to set for the ceremony. Throughout the process she responded to the vision I had for my wedding, and used her own expertise to make that vision a reality. I wanted an elegant but simple reception that would complement the Spanish courtyard and natural beauty of the Serra Retreat. Ryan put together a design that created an informal garden feel without being rustic, and was full of personal touches without being fussy. The final event was more fun and beautiful than I had dreamed. Having Ryan in charge on the day-of meant that my bridesmaids, myself, and my mother could enjoy ourselves and be in the moment. (She even handled the uninvited +1 that one of our guests brought without me knowing anything was wrong). Four months after our wedding, our friends are still talking about how it was the best wedding they've been to.

Having probably researched 20+ coordinating companies and spoken with half as many, I knew I wanted…read moreRyan as my coordinator the minute I got off the phone with her. Her energy and knowledge about the industry came through clearly on the phone and for someone planning the event from the east coast, I just appreciated her friendly, but honest attitude and genuine advice. Moreover, it was really important to us to have someone we could communicate with through a variety of formats and Ryan's quick response time and comfort around technology really sealed the deal for us. Even though we only contracted Ryan for the day of our event, she went above and beyond our expectations. Being the one of the first from our circle of friends to get married we had few to turn to for advice and expectations. We peppered Ryan with questions through out the planning process (sorry Ryan!) but she really helped guide us to through the journey. The day of the actual wedding was filled with what I presumed a lot of logistics, set up and directing. I presume because all I saw were the finished work. As the event stretched through out the night, toasts magically occurred, food courses automatically changed, and the guests danced the night away. Looking back, if there was one thing I did right, it was booking Ryan as my day of coordinator.

Bride Not Zilla was my wedding day of coordinator and I am so glad we picked them! They are a two…read moreperson duo that makes sure everything goes as planned and gets you to do what need to do! I personally worked with Bernice and she knocked it out of the park! Bernice acted like my wedding coach, someone to walk me through the rules of the game and explain to me what exactly we need to do! Bernice was able to control my family on my wedding day, something I didn't want to personally stress over. Due to Covid and a 3 week hospital stay of my father in law, I had 2.5 weeks to plan a 120 person 100% fully vaccinated wedding and I wouldn't have been able to finish it without the help of bride not zilla! Bernice was not only extremely organized, she was professional and extremely caring. When I needed to vent about the craziness of wedding planning, she was there. When my mom needed a phone charger on the wedding day, Bernice had one ready to go! When I didn't have the time or the bandwidth to take care of my DJ's song request for the parents' dance or the grand entrance, Bernice was there to wrap everything up with my bridal party, my parents, and my in laws. I have a thing about people being prompt and Bernice was very prompt. She was never late to any of our meetings and she stayed after to chat with my husband and I too! I made sure all my vendors were seasoned and professional; I also made sure all my wedding vendors were genuinely good people. You will NOT regret hiring Bride Not Zilla as your wedding coordinator. I only thought we needed a 30 min cocktail hour but Bernice was able to give me the pros and cons of extending it. In the end we were glad we extended it to an hour. I didn't have time to eat before cocktail hour so Bernice snuck my husband and I some hors d'oeuvres to eat on the walk back from our romantic couples pictures. She was even there to do a veil toss for my photographer. Bonus! We didn't know how much "average" was to spend on each vendor, Bernice was able to give us a good range. Everyone says to "spend more" on certain vendors like photographers but they never tell you how much they actually spend or how much a normal fee is. We were able to clarify with Bride Not Zilla how much each service averaged. It saved us a lot of money since we had an accurate estimate on fees.

Best part about it was they were the go to person 2 months prior. And they also provide an additional coordinator if they feel it is needed. So they took care of the groom's side keeping them on schedule as well as everything else. The professionalism and organization was wonderful. So easy to work with and I was very happy with how everything turned out. I didn't realize how many things pop up in the last month. It was so nice to have checklists and Dee keeping me on track. Atrina listened to my vision and took the time to make sure I was happy throughout the process.Everything was flawless and the guests raved about the service. Without hesitation I would choose Plan This Event again to keep me in line and my wedding turning out stunning!

Carly swooped in to help us with our month of coordination, and she was an absolute rockstar. Coordinating with all of our vendors (and taking that out of our hands), helping with plans and timelines, and making sure we got everything we needed to be done to have a one-of-a-kind wedding. We weren't available to do rehearsals until the day before, pretty far away from our venue - Carly showed up and got us through it, no problem. On the day of the wedding, I didn't have to worry about or do anything. Carly and her team were on it from before I woke up until after we had left the venue. And, she'll make sure the important stuff gets done. As my wedding went by in a daze, I woke up the next day and realized I had no collection of signing our marriage license, or even where it was. One quick text to Carly, and I discovered she had taken care of it all, and is mailing us everything we need. Throughout the entire process, Carly will be the champion in your corner you didn't know you needed.
