    My husband and I got married 11/28/21 and hiring Jessica was the BEST decision we made. From the first zoom call I had with Jessica I knew she would make our special day perfect, and that is exactly what she did. I worked with Jessica for 2-3 months leading up to our wedding and she went above and beyond to make sure every little detail was taken care of. I usually like to be in control but Jessica made me feel at ease handing everything over to her. She handled all the communication with vendors, coordinating with the venue, and creating a very detailed day of time line. Jessica executed EVERYTHING perfectly - planning, rehearsal, decor set up, vendor management. Literally all I had to do was show up - everything was taken care of. I could not have asked for a more genuine, fun, caring person to be part of our wedding day. Jessica is amazing and I will be forever grateful.

    Thanks for a great day Jessica!

    We loved working with Jessica Harris (Shine Event Productions)! PROFESSIONAL | ORGANIZED | COMMUNICATIVE | CLUTCH | DELIGHTFUL As organized as we were, we probably would not have been able to relax or enjoy our wedding if not for our day-of coordinator. Jessica was the perfect point person, making sure things ran smoothly and efficiently, always with a smile on her face. We never had to check the time or think about the schedule of events because she made sure things moved along and stayed on track; she always made sure we had what we needed--and a drink in our hand at all times, and if anything went wrong (e.g. the aisle runner wouldn't stay in place, we ran out of disposable cups at the reception, etc.), she made last-minute decisions for us so that we didn't have to worry about any of it! If you are on the fence about hiring a wedding planner, we recommend at least talking with Jessica--she has a lot of experience and provided us with a lot of good options.

    Jessica with Shine Event Productions was perfect for our wedding!  This is one happy bride!!

    Our wedding was this past weekend at the Brazil Room, and we hired Jessica with Shine Event Productions to be our Month-of-Coordinator. I didn't realize that when we found Jessica here on Yelp, that we found a Fairy God Mother, Super Woman, and the BEST Wedding Coordinator in the entire Bay Area! I quickly learned of Jessica's capabilities when we first met with her three months before our wedding. Not only did she have the most calm and professional demeanor, you felt that you were meeting with an old friend rather than sitting in on a business meeting. I respected and loved her story - CAL educated and smart corporate employee leaves it all to pursue her dreams in creative event productions! Love! We decided to hire her for her month-of-coordination package. Leading up to the wedding she sent multiple checklists that helped us organize our DIY wedding. As time got closer, she checked in and made sure that we were okay, and we met personally twice more to discuss all the details. Additionally, she contacted all the vendors on my behalf and made sure I was not stressed out about anything. Furthermore, she ran our rehearsal the day before the wedding, and even stayed as our guest for our Thai Ceremony afterwards. This meant a lot to us because she was able to connect with my friends and family before the wedding, and they grew to trust and be comfortable with her on our wedding! On the day of the wedding, everything went perfectly! Everyone said I was the least "Bridezilla" and not stressed at all during the wedding. Much of this had to do with Jessica, who executed the vision of my DIY decorations perfectly. I am a control freak, had a gazillion details, and really picky with how it would all turn out. However, I was NOT worried at all because I knew my vision was in good hands. Additionally, she coordinated with our caterer, DJ, and other vendors. She made sure everyone stuck to the tight timeline. Her positive and stress-free attitude kept everyone in the bridal party calm, and I was so comforted to know that my special day was in such good hands! I cannot recommend Jessica enough for her event services for a wedding or any other special event! Jessica is mature, talented, calming, and has the most infectious smile that will radiate your wedding day! Check out her services on her website and meet with her! You will not be disappointed!

    Jessica Shine Event Productions is AMAZING!!! She is absolutely FANTASTIC!! She and her team made my wedding day perfect!

    See all

It was an absolute pleasure working with Carissa after booking the month-of coordination package. She went above and beyond from our initial meeting all the way to load out the night of the wedding. She took the time to understand my vision fully and provided invaluable insight throughout the process. She worked seamlessly with our other vendors, taking the weight of all the logistics so we could enjoy the weeks leading up to the wedding. When we got to wedding weekend she brought a calm and competent energy to the rehearsal and day-of that really set the tone and allowed us to relax and enjoy. We are so grateful for her collaboration and can honestly say booking with 2FE was one of the best decisions we made.

I was frantically contacting vendors, trying to find someone who could step in on such short notice. Nichole Simpson, the owner of 2 Friends Events, responded almost immediately and quickly arranged a consultation. Within four days, we had an experienced coordinator assigned--and what a blessing that turned out to be. Rachel Roddewig and her assistant were absolutely AMAZING. Rachel met with us twice--first for an hour and then for another two and a half hours. She developed a detailed schedule and timeline and came prepared with thoughtful questions to ensure that every detail had been addressed. During the week leading up to the wedding, Rachel contacted every vendor to confirm logistics, schedules, and responsibilities. She also directed the staff I had hired for setup, bussing, breakdown, and cleanup. She attended the rehearsal, arrived early to walk the grounds and familiarize herself with the venue, coordinated everyone for the ceremony, and took care of every detail throughout the reception. If there were any hiccups, I knew nothing about them until after the wedding and reception were over. Rachel handled everything calmly and worked seamlessly with the vendors to ensure the day went perfectly. I truly believe the wedding was as perfect as it was because of Rachel's extraordinary organization, attention to detail, and logistical expertise. I am incredibly grateful to Nichole, Rachel, and 2 Friends Events for stepping in when we needed them most and helping make this very special day absolutely wonderful. I cannot recommend them highly enough!

All the events they designed for us turned out BEAUTIFUL & special! Their designs embodied a true representation of the bride and groom! They went above and beyond, more than we asked for and added their special touches to the events. You can see their heart and soul in the work they do. They surpassed our expectations! I am so impressed with their proactive-ness. You can see they absolutely love to help others. They were extremely generous to help us with a photographer/videographer, DJ, and makeup artist too. This was the first wedding to take place in our family and we had no prior experience in this area so Christina & Geeta made sure we did not miss all the important little things and gave us helpful tips.

We were assigned Christina Tran as our coordinator who started working with us properly about 2 months out from our wedding. I have told so many people this by now, but hiring SmittenKiss and Christina was the BEST money we spent on our wedding. I am so serious. I have been to multiple weddings in the past year and not to sound overly smug, but our wedding was by far the most on-time and smoothly run wedding of them all. And one of the biggest contributors to this was Christina. She and her day-of assistant did such a phenomenal job keeping us on schedule and communicating with all the vendors. Multiple times throughout the day our photographers and videographers remarked "I can't believe we're on schedule!!!" And beyond just the task of keeping everything running smoothly on the day, for me the peace of mine of getting to let someone else take over was priceless. I am a VERY Type A person, a massive planner, and a complete control freak. I was able to plan the vast majority of our wedding with my husband without a full-service planner. But 2 months out from the wedding Christina reached out and told me she would be taking over all direct vendor communication from there on out and I didn't realize how much a relief that would be. On the day of my wedding I was able to fully enjoy my wedding and not have to worry about answer questions and directing people. Also, SmittenKiss provided us with a really helpful workbook that broke down seating arrangements, desired photos (though our photo/video company also had one), song list, schedule breakdown, props/items, etc. I already had a massive wedding master spreadsheet, but I still found this really useful. I think with SmittenKiss the best thing is that they're really here to help manage and coordinate your day. A friend of mine lamented to me that for her wedding she wanted a project manager, but got a wedding designer. I wanted a project manager and absolutely got one.

It was one of the best decisions we made during planning! We worked with Christine Nguyen starting ~2 months in advance of the wedding. She met with us weekly to lock in our details (most notably, a super tight and clear timeline). We had everything so well planned (thanks to Christine) that our last few months leading up to the wedding were waaaay more relaxed than we would have anticipated. On the day of, Christine and her assistant Jane were on top of everything! I don't think I batted an eyelash the whole day because they were hustling so hard behind the scenes to make everything feel totally smooth for us. On tope of the incredible execution, it's worth noting that we felt Christine's genuine excitement for us all throughout the process. She brought the best energy from day one and we felt it right up to the end of the wedding day. 10/10 would recommend!

Throughout the event, every reasonable request was met with resistance, as she repeatedly insisted having things her way rather than trying to accommodate the guests.

We were able to take home the leftover food and we had plenty to eat between the 6 of us. Denise is friendly and easy to communicate with both via email and in person.

We got many compliments from our guests on how smooth and relaxed the day felt, and that is a testament to Courtney's incredibly hard work. I would also note that Courtney was completely respectful of our budget and priorities. She puts in the time to learn what is important to you, and keeps that in mind as she offers excellent, candid advice. Courtney also went out of her way to save us money in ways we simply would not have thought of on our own. A final note to anyone on the fence about hiring a coordinator: Do it! (Specifically, Courtney!) I consider myself a fairly organized and detail-oriented person, so when I started planning, I wasn't sure that I needed a coordinator. But I now believe that the more organized you are, the more you appreciate and value a partner at (or, in Courtney's case, way above) your level.

    This review is LONG OVERDUE! However anyone seeking out a full service all in one wedding location…read morein this area look no further. This place exceeded my expectations in many areas. Other small details would make a minus one star but if i were to plan another wedding for someone I knew this would be an amazing option. The good first: COMMUNICATION: The staff were amazing at communicating with the wedding party and being patient with our questions and concerns. We picked a package but because we did brunch (which isnt really a thing they do but they made it work for us) we tweaked our day and they really worked with us subbing things out and subbing other things in. Like they gave us a choice to have mimoas and cut down on an hour of bar time (who can have brunch without welcome mimosas!!!) :) THE FOOD: OMG I got many great compliments on the food and again it was brunch but very filling. I almost wished I was a guest so I could fully experience it all! THE SETUP OF THE WEDDING ITSELF: THIS IS WHAT COUNTS AS A BRIDE! When we walked in the room for the first time during the rehearsal I wanted to cry. Happy tears. Everything was JUST HOW I PLANNED IT IN MY HEAD! I kept sitting down at the tables and looking around and was just in awe with how they put together all of my details. It was PERFECT. I felt like I was in a dream. They even set up the games for the kids outside in the shade. PERFECT. COST: I thought the cost was actually very reasonable. For an all-inclusive wedding we got a lot of bang for our buck. Our package included an officiant who was amazing, a DJ host who was hilarious and let us lead our day the way we wanted, a photo booth which was amazing, beautiful table cloths, chargers, beautiful chairs and a buffet brunch PLUS unlimited alcohol! SETTING: We were able to set up the arbor with our own decor and it was simply amazing. We brought in a large circular wreath we made to hang during the ceremony and the florist let us borrow some stands to put fresh flowers we brought in. The bad: This section is not as long! LOL TURNOVER: Staff turnover did affect us a bit as we had to re-explain things when new staff came in. We also got into a hiccup because we were supposed to get married in March 2020 and yall know how that went. We ended up moving the wedding twice which was not easy. We had to get the manager involved because there was some miscommunication but because it all got settled I cant complain too much now. DAY OF: It was very hot for an outdoor July wedding and the guests were super hot. I would have liked it if the hostess would have brought out water while waiting for the ceremony to begin and during the ceremony as one of our guests fell out from heat stroke (literally). The ambulance was not a pretty sight. :( MY WAITING: I found myself ready on time but didn't get the okay to walk out until I was technically late. A bit more communicating with the bride would be good. If it was an issue with the rest of the wedding party that would be good to know next time. COCKTAIL HOUR: During photos we the bridal party did not get a chance to eat the appetizers and I would have liked it if they would have set us some on our ballroom table to enjoy. I didn't get to eat any as I was busy the whole hour taking photos. GETTING READY ROOM: I wish they had a place for the groom to get dressed. He had to "pretend" in the main hallway. Also our room was pretty small considering I had a small wedding party. The bathroom was also in the hall so if I had to use the loo I had to risk someone seeing me. DONT LET THE CONS STOP YOU. This place may be all inclusive but you CAN have your say in many of the things. We brought in tons of our own decor and it was just so nice. I am a real hands on person and felt like I had a great deal of personalization in my wedding here. Just heed some of my warnings to avoid if you have a summer wedding.
