My husband and I like to say that hiring Rebecca and Marisa was the best wedding decision we made…read more They made the planning process, as well as the day itself, easy, stress free, and most of all...even more beautiful than we imagined! Rebecca was recommended to me by a friend who is a professional wedding photographer. For me it was super important to find an amazing planner, because both my husband and I had very high-stress jobs, very little downtime, and extremely picky tastes on a tight budget. Haha quite the "winning" combination. As we started working together a year before the wedding, Rebecca, and her business partner Marisa, quickly understood what mattered to us the most when it came to the wedding (venue, food, south of France vibe) and what was secondary (stationery, fancy lighting, being super traditional, etc). They started making venue and vendor recommendations and the best part is that the options they presented were never too many to be overwhelming and never too few to leave us wanting more. Just the right number and just the right style. Picking the venue, caterer, florists, dj, officiant, you name it, was a breeze. They were also very organized with template guest lists, timelines for what is due when and always on the ball when it came to sending us reminders or getting our sign off on something. Fast forward to the big day...I remember walking into the venue before the guests arrived and gasping at how great everything looked pulled together (Rebecca had shown me photoshop mocks before but this was another story). Rebecca was like Superwoman, running everything smoothly behind the scenes, making sure that everybody had what they needed, and even made a point to bring my husband and I some of the appetizers that we missed tasting during the cocktail hour. I don't remember a single moment of feeling frustrated or wondering why something is not done...it was all pure elation of being surrounded by your friends and family in a setting out of your dreams. Rebecca and Marisa - thank you, thank you, thank you for making this day (and the entire planning process) so smooth, happy, and beautiful.

I can't say enough great things about Rebecca! Hiring her as our wedding planner was one of the…read morebest decisions my husband and I made. Rebecca is a team player, works well with our vendors and seamlessly choreographs and orchestrates all the moving parts so that our wedding was stress-free and beautiful. She is on point with her attention to detail, easy-to-work-with and likable personality and her natural knack for organizing is spectacular and wonderful. She added value to the wedding process and helped us with parts of the planning we missed. For example, we were on the search for an officiant and transportation and Rebecca quickly provided us with names of vendors that worked with our budget. She also reviewed all our contracts and provided insights, tips and feedback. This helped minimize unexpected and unplanned wedding expenses and helped us feel confident that all the i's were dotted and the t's were crossed in the prep and planning work. What we like most about Rebecca was her ability to see the big picture yet never forgetting about the small details. She understood our vision and helped us achieve it with great suggestions and made sure it was executed accordingly. We love her sincerity and how she had our best interest at heart, at all times. Because of that, we had a phenomenal, memorable and unforgettable wedding. Without a doubt, we would hire Rebecca again and we would recommend Rebecca's services. She is someone you want on your side.

We decided to…read morego with their full planning service, and we're so glad we did -- it made all the difference! From start to finish, they were involved in every detail --assisting with all vendors including florals, décor, custom floor design, backdrop, DJ, photographer, belly dancer, cake baker, and drummer! They went above and beyond in every way. I was even able to FaceTime Dunia while deciding between hotels for my bridal suite and my husband's groom suite --that's how hands-on and supportive they were throughout the entire process. They truly understood my perfectionist tendencies and attention to detail (which probably gave them a few headaches!), but they never once complained. Instead, they delivered -- on every. single. detail. Every part of my vision came to life exactly as I imagined. We had multiple calls to finalize each element, and I genuinely appreciated how they took the time to sit, listen, and take detailed notes. Their patience, creativity, and professionalism exceeded all expectations. It was clear that Platinum Events Bay Area only works with the most professional and top-quality vendors, and it truly showed in how seamless everything turned out. Dunia and Mandy really shined on the day of the wedding -- they flawlessly coordinated with all the vendors to ensure everything was perfectly timed and on schedule. They both even came to my hotel early to help steam my dress, overskirt, and veil. Such sweethearts! I am endlessly grateful for their dedication and care --their attention to detail made our wedding day absolutely unforgettable!

There is no possible way to overstate how truly amazing and instrumental the team from Behl Events…read morewas in helping plan and execute our wedding with perfection! Being based in Seattle and planning an Indian wedding with fusion multicultural elements in Los Angeles, reaching out to a Bay Area based wedding planning team felt like a leap of faith, but we couldn't have made a better decision. We began working with Behl 10 months before our August 2025 wedding, and Anjali's expertise immediately shifted wedding planning from utter chaos into organized process. The relief I felt after our first meeting was palpable, and my confidence in the team only grew as we saw the depth of knowledge and organization they would provide. Anjali made the planning process so seamless as she helped us put words to our ideas, guided us through vendor selection (with an incredible database full of vetted selections), and kept our planning timeline on track. While I was (literally) having nightmares about absurdly high decor quotes, Anjali was already prepared with a backup plan with different vendors and idea adjustments. We chose the partial planning package, but even our vendor communication felt well-supported through regular check-in meetings where she answered any and all of our questions. As our wedding went from fleeting ideas to a concrete concept, we were introduced to Risha. Her attention to detail and promptness were so crucial (and so so appreciated) as the chaos of the wedding day loomed closer. Risha took over all the vendor communication several weeks before the wedding and became an invaluable resource to us as we had last minute thoughts and touches for our day. What really stood out to us about the planning process was how both Risha and Anjali were so proactive with the fine details! Whether it be about how the timeline should be adjusted to include a snack break inbetween baraat and ceremony or how we could set up our welcome table with all of our desired elements, they both always had creative ideas and a solution for a problem (even if it hadn't happened yet). But however impressed we already were with the team, they truly blew us away on the actual day of. There wasn't a single moment throughout the entire ceremony and reception where my (now) husband and I were stressed or concerned about anything because the Behl coordination team took care of it all. I only got to see glimpses of them in full force because they were all covering so many duties with grace and professionalism (and incredible speed - one of my highlights of the day was watching Anjali sprint from one end of the venue to the other to manage traffic around the baraat processional). They made magic happen for us, our families, and our guests. When my saree blouse zipper broke as I was supposed to be getting ready, I didn't even have the time to be stressed about it because Anjali returned with the blouse fully fixed with a new zipper within 30 minutes. My bridal attendant, Riya, helped me switch between my wedding heels and crocs no less than 1000 times during the day (while ensuring I had my lip combo on as I hydrated). Risha not only acted as our personal bodyguard during our reception so we could eat a little bit of dinner, she also somehow procured a glass of mango lassi after it was done being served for my sister, who missed cocktail hour. We had so many guests note on how smooth the event was run and particularly how incredibly kind the entire team was throughout the day, and we couldn't agree more. Their special touches took our wedding from amazing to exquisitely marvelous. We would absolutely, wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone and everyone!

Come to find out we were pretty clueless on what it takes to plan a wedding, especially one that we wanted. But Anjali guided us every step of the way and made it an incredible experience for us and all 115 guests - calm but dialed, professional, insane attention to detail, highly intuitive. I'm Korean American and my wife is Indian, so we wanted a Korean/american/indian fusion wedding, but modern and by the water lol. Very niche, super specific but Anjali delivered in every aspect. I highly recommend going with the design services package - this includes all the smaller details that's easy to overlook like stationary setup. But such a massive convenience that will provide so much [important] peace of mind during the final stretch and day of. Anjali had the full vendor list, email templates, etc to make outreach and comms seamless for us. But she was also looped into everything and stepped in when needed. Given her wide network and years of experience, she has a strong working relationship with a number of vendors, which made selections easier. But she also identified additional local vendors if it wasn't the best fit or out of budget (sometime she could sense our hesitation too) Lastly, Anjali was hyper-conscious of our budget and helped us stay within reason at all times and we somehow managed. But most importantly, she really understood the dynamics of all cultures involved. I'm sure she has more experience working Indian and Indian-American weddings, but she really did her homework on Korean weddings and my culture overall which meant a lot. We had such an equal mix of all elements we wanted to incorporate. She helped fuse it brilliantly. 10/10 recommend

From the very beginning, they scheduled an initial meeting to understand our love story, our vision for the wedding, our budget, and to walk us through the services they offer at The Darling Buds. After that meeting, they sent over a detailed breakdown of their packages. After thoughtful consideration, we chose the Month-of Coordination package--and it was one of the best decisions we made! In addition to coordination, they helped us build a beautiful and affordable wedding website that included our love story, the wedding agenda, RSVP page, photo gallery, and a link to our registry. They also went above and beyond by helping us create a wedding invitation tailored for our international guests to assist with their visa applications--such a thoughtful touch. One month before the wedding, we had a comprehensive prep meeting to go through every detail of the big day. Anna and Lucky became our main point of contact for all vendor communication, which saved us so much time and stress. As first-time newlyweds, we felt incredibly supported--they thought of every little detail we might have missed. They were punctual and helpful at our rehearsal, offering invaluable tips for ceremony positioning, like where each person should stand and how to coordinate with photographers and videographers to ensure all the right moments were captured. On the wedding day itself, Anna and Lucky truly worked their magic--arranging outdoor dining tables, communicating seamlessly with vendors, and keeping us updated on the schedule to make sure everything went smoothly. We are beyond satisfied with the planning and execution of our wedding thanks to Anna and Lucky.

From the very beginning, they truly got to know us as a couple and asked great questions to find out exactly what kind of wedding we wanted. For us, this included a fusion of scottish and chinese traditions and some decor that incorporated our pets! They kept us on track with monthly meetings/powerpoints and stayed in touch via email between meetings. They kept within our budget and assembled a dream team of vendors. They worked very well with the team at our venue and with all of the vendors. Our family and friends also enjoyed meeting them and thought they did an amazing job. We cannot recommend The Darling Buds enough! They are both truly special and wonderful people with an amazing talent for planning weddings.

Laura's Day Dreamer package is a great option if you are looking to have all the details fully handled on the day-of, plus some additional guidance as you take the lead with the planning process during your planning year, rather than hiring a full planner.

Since everyone was so busy, they wanted to hire a professional event planner to help them with the planning and coordinating for the day of the baby shower. So after hearing great things about The Event Plan and through a recommendation of a friend, my friends decided to hire them to ensure everything was perfect for our baby shower. Let me tell you, I was overwhelmed at how perfect everything turned out. My friends told me how great Christine was to work with. She had wonderful ideas for the games, decorations, food, and picked out a perfect venue (with plenty of parking space in SF). They even had a wonderful candy bar for us, milk and cookies bar etc. Everything was so unique down to the baby shower games they picked out for us! I absolutely loved it. Christine's work is perfect and so detailed. I didn't have to worry about a thing and felt absolutely pampered. I met Christine on the day of the shower and she was awesome! She did a FABULOUS job and I highly recommend her. After the baby shower, a few of the guests even emailed me letting me know that our baby shower was the best they have ever attended. You will not go wrong with hiring The Event Plan. These ladies have got it together and will make sure your event is PERFECT. Just call them! Trust me - you won't regret it. They are truly exceptional.

They had assisted me with the timeline for the day and we stuck to it to a tee. That's practically unheard of for weddings! Everything ran so smoothly (except for the DJ playing our entrance song as our MOH & BM started walking) which totally was not the gals' fault. I knew that Helen & Christine had everything under control when I was getting my hair done that my Hair/MUA even commented "you are the CALMEST bride I've ever done!" haha I am so pleased by the girls' work and I would refer them in a heartbeat.
