    Kimberly and Tifanny have designed and coordinated our proposal. Kimberly from day one was responsive and nice. She was trying her best to communicate through Instagram which were I found the business. They are capable to set up everything with professional matter. I loved to work with them and honestly I highly recommended to anyone.

    These ladies are amazing! Definitely hire them for your proposal or picnic. Their set ups are well done and gorgeous. They customize the look to what you want. It was very easy to communicate with them with any concerns or questions. I was helping my sister's bf plan his proposal, but anything he would have done would have been so bad compared to what Kimberly and Tiffany could do. The only thing I had to worry about that day was the weather and they were really accommodating about that if it was to have rained. They came 90 minutes early and on time. They finished about ten minutes before it was time and stayed around to play the music. Afterwards they helped take pics and pose them. The photos and videos were airdropped instantly. Amazing. After they gave us our time with the set up, they cleaned up everything and went on their way. So nice and convenient for us. If you want a magical proposal, please hire them! You won't regret it!

    Thank you for the wonderful memories! Family and friends love you guys and said you both were really nice, professional, and a great choice for a proposal set up. It was incredibly beautiful! Appreciate you both so much!

    My fiancé surprised me by finding the two sisters who own this company, and I couldn't have been more amazed! He said they made everything so easy that he didn't have to lift a finger, and it showed in how perfectly everything was planned. I'm so grateful to both him and the sisters for making the day so magical. Highly recommend!

    My special day would not have been possible without somethingspecialtwins! they made this process smooth and easy, they truly exceeded my expectations! I will definitely be using them again in the future as well as recommending to anyone else.

    Surpassed all expectations. Wanted to celebrate a friends promotion and was able to do so in the most aesthetically pleasing way. Decorations were beautiful and made everyone stop and stare. Highly recommend!! (:

    We had the BEST time enjoying a picnic dinner in the park (just because), with a BEAUTIFUL setup: lace tent, light-up letters, & more!!

    Okay, seriously... Everyone NEEDS to experience the magic of Something Special!!! My husband & I had an amazing time enjoying a summer dinner picnic in a park that we will never forget!! Tiff & Kim, being former special education teachers, truly have an amazing gift for making others feel loved. They really know how to create BEAUTIFUL, welcoming, joy-filled, unforgettable environments & experiences for people. They think of the details & do everything they can do to make you feel comfortable & allow you to make lasting, heartwarming memories! And unlike with many other businesses, Tiff & Kim are SO sweet & you can't help but feel so cared for by them throughout the whole process. It's also photo lover's galore... & I LOVE how you can even PRINT PHOTOS on the spot. If you know ANYONE with a birthday, special event or occasion, proposal, or just want to do something fun and unique... You definitely need to book them!!

    Kim & Tiff did such a beautiful job with my 30th birthday party design!! The balloons and photobooth chair was a highlight to the party. From the ideation to execution, they were so easy to work with!! Super flexible, kind, and sweet. If you're planning a special event, look no further!! Reach out to them ASAP - they're going to be booked up back-to-back in no time.

    A successful and magical proposal!

    Everyone loves a perfect and magical proposal...and this company is definitely a godsend! I wanted a proposal that is a grand gesture; but with the ring selection, hectic work schedule, and trying to keep the proposal a secret--it was stressing me out a lot! The price may seem pricey; however it's all worth it as you have experts who will make your dream proposal come alive. They have a list of romantic locations around the Bay Area and have many different props to use. I wanted a proposal in December--but due to the potential for rain, they gave me a great location with a cover! My fiancé love peonies instead of roses, and Tiffany was able to switch the rose for them! Moreover, I wanted to add a personal touch with a sign I bought from Etsy, and she was able to accommodate it into the setup. Tiffany was also really fast at responding and can answer all your questions. The company will setup the place and once you arrive, text them and they will tell everyone to get out (you'll have a lot of nosey strangers come check out the setup). Everyone gave me props and my fiancé was so stunned at how beautiful and perfect everything turned out!

    I had a great experience with something special. I planned a picnic for my hubby's birthday and it was beautiful , the location the setup everything was amazingly beautiful. Thanks a lot

    I partnered with Kim and Tiff to bring my company offsite to life in May! We set up a luxury outdoor picnic for 20 people at shoreline lake in mountain view. From beginning to end they were communicative, flexible, and super creative. We talked about back up plans in case it rained and they also contacted the vendor to confirm all the plans prior to the event. My jaw dropped when I came a bit early on the day of and saw the complete setup. We went with a beautiful blue and white theme and Kim and Tiff set up a balloon arch, photo booth area, and lots of cute and fun lawn games and Polaroid cameras to document. They came back right on time to clean up and made the entire experience super seamless and enjoyable. Looking forward to working with them for more events in the future!

    Marco G.

    Very patient and helpful with providing different ideas and respond very quickly to messages! Very detail oriented including where to park to plan a surprise proposal! I can't thank them enough for making this so easy to plan.

    Lisa A.

    Just came back to upload a picture of the arch. Thanks again! It was easy to put together and easy to take apart. It also for a smaller car so you don't need a truck for transportation.

    Did an amazing job! They are super sweet and made this moment perfect

    See all

    Had lunch at Gunther's today. It was a rainy day and I enjoyed sitting in a cozy booth by a window,…read morehaving lunch while the rain came down. I got the open-faced roast beef sandwich with mashed potatoes and gravy. The plate was gigantic and I ate the whole thing. It was pure comfort food. When I was a kid my grandmother used to take me out to lunch, and this was the sandwich I always ordered (anybody remember Lyon's restaurant?). The staff at Gunther's are so kind. When I arrived, one person explained how to order at the counter and held a booth for me (I'd been there before but forgot how that works). Another person came by several times while I was eating to give me a straw, and then napkins, and then a to-go cup for my drink. Everyone checked on me to make sure I was enjoying my food. The customer service was like what you'd expect at a fine dining establishment. The restaurant was busy at 1:30 pm on a holiday Monday, but was never loud and never felt crowded. I was grateful they didn't blast music from the ceiling like a lot of places do. Thank you, Gunther's, for your wonderful service and delicious food.

    The food was okay, but ultimately the best thing we ate and the only thing we agreed we would order…read moreagain was the chocolate babka (highly recommend) which it states is shipped in from Brooklyn. The service was very slow, they forgot part of our order, and ultimately based on the reviews we had read, it was a let down.

    We worked with Amazae from the moment we knew we wanted to get married (before we got engaged,…read moretechnically. Ha). Both of us are extremely busy re: our jobs and knew that we wouldn't be able to dedicate enough time to truly planning an event of this scale. If you're on the fence, go with Amazae. My husband, before we hired Amazae, was on the fence of whether or not we needed planning services. I told him that if we did not hire someone that there would be no wedding. By the time we had finished our venue search, he knew that I was totally right re: the amount of help you get by leveraging someone else's expertise. You do this once (hopefully) in your life. Amazae does this all the time. Amazae knew all the ins and outs of every venue that we could possibly think of in the Bay Area, Carmel, and Napa. They were able to tell us who was beer and wine only, who had a 10pm end time because of noise ordinances, and who required you to use certain caterers that were $x per head. This will save you SO much time and save you visits to random places that don't meet your requirements. Vendor sourcing - they are super good at this re: figuring out (or making you figure out what you like) who matches your style for every vendor, then finding one that fits in your budget. Most importantly, they will make sure everyone shows up (join any wedding FB group and read some horror stories). They will help you with all of the contracting and the collection of COIs, etc. Again, this would have been IMPOSSIBLE for myself and my now husband. We literally do not have the hours in the day to do this. This team is on top of everything - they will chase you down if they need to for answers for pieces of your event. They can make anything happen - from the weirdest requests to the most mundane. They are so professional, and they really make your wedding super personal. Amazae designed and executed a beautiful event from beginning to end that felt so authentic to us. Day of, they were there to take care of everything, and it was truly a flawless day. We could not asked for a better planner re: Crystal, Kaila, and the rest of the team. We put full trust in them re: the design of this event and the day of. Example: I honestly did not know what florals were going to be there, but they were so stunning. The strength of the Amazae team is in their ability to bring you and your personality into an event that is mostly structured a certain way. They also make your day as stress-free as possible. I cannot say enough positive things about this team and their ability to make your wedding great. If you're down to hand things off to someone else, I would say hand it off to them. It will be better than what you could have come up with yourself.

    Planning a wedding during a pandemic is hard, even a micro-wedding. You don't want to be cake…read moretasting or menu tasting, so you rely on experts. That's why we decided to hire an event planner for our daughter's wedding in January 2021. Even though it was a small backyard wedding, we wanted it to be memorable and elegant. We interviewed 3 different event planners, and got 3 rough quotes, all around the same ballpark. Amazae's quote, however, was the most detailed, breaking down a high & low range for each item (food, florals, rentals, photography, etc.) It was an easy choice to contract with them. Crystal came onsite for our first meeting, and I really didn't have a lot for her to go on. My daughter isn't the Pinterest type, so I just told Crystal the wedding colors and showed her pictures of the wedding gown and bridesmaid gowns. The rest of the planning was all done via zoom, emails, and a few phone calls. We worked mostly with Caitlin, who is an amazing planner. Each step along the way, she gave us several options to choose from. For example, she provided a list of 4 photographers, their quote for the day, their profile, their gallery, etc. Once all of our choices were made, she put together a design deck that gave us a preview of the entire wedding. It was more gorgeous than I envisioned. On the day of the wedding, Lisa came out to set everything up. She even picked up the florals and wedding cake to save us the delivery fees. It was a little hectic when I met her, and I probably spent 5 minutes with her showing her where everything was before we left for the church ceremony. And when we came back, she was driving off, leaving behind a magical transformation of yard. Everyone was stunned. The catering crew then took over and prepared a "Top Chef" level meal. And when they left, my kitchen was as clean as when they arrived. My husband commented, "Whatever we paid for this wedding, it was worth every penny." Haha. True. NOTE: the photos on this review are from my phone. The professional photos are not available yet.

I recently had the absolute pleasure of working alongside Andrea for an extravagant, Wicked-themed birthday celebration at the Grand Bay Hotel in San Francisco. As a DJ, I've been part of my fair share of complex productions--but this event? This one had layers. We're talking immersive design, multiple performances, theatrical moments, choreographed timing, lighting cues, and the kind of attention to detail that would make Broadway stage managers sweat. And yet--through every twist, change, last-minute curveball, and behind-the-scenes chaos--Andrea stayed calm, composed, and genuinely joyful. That smile never left her face. It wasn't just impressive; it was inspiring. What struck me most was Andrea's emotional intelligence and natural leadership. She wasn't just checking off a list--she was reading the room, checking in on vendors, comforting the family, and still had the foresight to ensure every beat of the evening landed with intention. For us as DJs, a successful event relies heavily on the planner's clarity, timing, and communication. Andrea excelled at all three. Her cues were crystal clear, her flexibility never compromised the bigger picture, and her collaboration felt seamless. It's rare to find someone who can hold both the creative and logistical sides of event production in perfect harmony. Andrea is that rare gem. And beyond the work, there's a real human connection there--a warmth that draws people in, makes vendors want to go above and beyond, and creates the kind of synergy that guests can feel, even if they don't see it. After this event, I'm not only grateful--I'm inspired. I genuinely hope to work with Andrea and Mia Emma Love Events more in the future. I believe that if we continue to collaborate, we could create experiences that are unforgettable, meaningful, and consistently next-level. Andrea, thank you for the trust, the kindness, the professionalism, and for being exactly the kind of event partner every creative hopes for. I'm honored to have been a part of this one--and I'm already looking forward to the next. With deep appreciation, DJ Brandon Beach
