We could not be happier with Jill and of course the invitations. Jill is an expert in the trade. She has books upon books to look through in all price ranges and styles. She helped us with the wording and help us stay true to our style. She is a true professional and most of all PATIENT. We had a hard time picking out what we wanted and even changed our minds at the last minute. She was more than understanding and accommodated our needs. She even supported my freak out moment when I made a mistake and asked her for some more help. Go see Jill and get your wedding or party started off on the right foot with terrific invitations.

Mia Kartsonis and her team went above and beyond for our wedding. If I could give her more than 5…read morestars I would! She is phenomenal! Hands down-best wedding coordinator ever. Mia helped make my dreams come true. She guided me from the very beginning and always made sure that all concerns and questions were answered in a timely manner. She is kind, competent and easily puts you at ease when the wedding planning becomes stressful. She will take care of anything that you may be worried about. Mia will talk to vendors and make sure that you get the best deal possible. Unfortunately, my father passed during this time and Mia was the sweetest most compassionate coordinator ever. She sent me flowers and told me to take my time to mourn, which really helped get my life in order at the time since now I had a funeral to plan as well. Anyway, my wedding was just four days ago and everyone is still raving about how beautiful my wedding was. People have said that it was 'one of the best weddings' they've ever attended. Thank you, Mia! Also, Mia has a decor rental available for every package, which can save you $100's on decor that you will only need once for your wedding. Mia also uses a wedding planning platform, Aisle Planner, which helps you and her stay connected during the planning process. You are able to view your venue's layout, arrange tables, seats/guests, and timelines all in one place. This is a wonderful tool for people like me, who love to stay organized. This helped tremendously! She was able to view my changes and vice versa. Another cool thing that Mia provides is a detailed 3D view of your venue and the decor discussed. It really helps see if your tables/decor is what you envisioned. Anyway, if you want a stress-free wedding, hire Mia and her team! You will not regret it.

Katie came recommended to us by a friend who had booked her for his wedding a year prior. She was…read morefantastic from the get-go, even before we officially signed her on as our florist! At our initial meeting, she asked lots of questions, looked at our inspiration photos, and most importantly of all, she listened. I love peonies, which unfortunately are out of season in September when our wedding was, and after meeting with multiple florists who told me that we'd have to change our vision, I was beginning to lose hope. Katie was the only one who listened to what we wanted and came up with a creative solution so that we could get a similar peony-like look with alternative, in-season flowers. She showed photos at our initial meeting and then brought samples at the subsequent meeting, and after seeing her ideas in person, we were sold! Katie and her team offered a level of service that the other florists I'd looked into couldn't even compare to. Not only did she provide rentals in the form of the circular arch for our ceremony, glassware for the centerpieces, and LED votives for the tables, but she and her team also flipped all of the arrangements used in the ceremony during cocktail hour so that they could be repurposed for the reception. This saved us a lot of money, and also resulted in the reception ballroom looking incredibly lush with florals. Her pricing was also much more competitive than the other florists, even without taking the repurposing into account! As a result, her value simply couldn't be beat. The day of the wedding, I saw my bouquet and the ceremony arch and they took my breath away. Every piece from the smallest boutonniere to the flower girl wreaths to the cake florals and the centerpieces were absolutely stunning. She and her team nailed it, and if I had to do it all over again, I would sign her on in a heartbeat. If you are looking for a wedding (or anything!) florist who knocks it out of the park with her designs and creativity, is the best value around, and is overall a fun and spirited person to work with, look no further! Katie is the best there is. Thank you, Katie, for helping to make our wedding day one to remember!

We did a vintage Hawaiian theme and Hillary was spot on. Every meeting we had with her she was prepared, she had tons of floral options to offer us, and she was extremely enthusiastic about our color palette and took our vision to the next level while staying in our allotted budget. Her creativity is top tier and every arrangement down to the stunning leis rested on our sweetheart table chairs to the beautifully crafted boutonnière for my husband, every detail was gorgeous. I loved my bouquet so much that I'm having it preserved in resin so I can enjoy it for years and years to come. I can't recommend Hillary and her team enough! She created true perfection and we are so grateful for her stylistic eye!

Don't look any farther! you have found the best Wedding Coordinator/Planner... Kelly at BellaB…read more Once we knew that Covid was not going to improve enough for us to keep the wedding at a hotel in Laguna Beach, we had to accept some hard realities which included a much smaller wedding and one that would be at our house. What we feared the most was a Back Yard BBQ type feel wedding. We needed a professional. With 3 months to go, we started to interview three wedding coordinators that we found online. Right away, Kelly stood out with her professionalism, warm/friendly demeanor and impressive social media photos of past weddings/events. What was the deciding factor was how she approached our wedding vision. She asked if we wanted her to execute our vision only, or if we wanted her input. We are so glad she did not execute our vision, it would have looked like a Jr. High School Dance!! Once she shared her ideas for our wedding- we knew Kelly was the right choice and hired her quickly. Throughout the entire process and through every decision, large or small - she kept us on track, focused and not once did we feel overwhelmed, even as we had to navigate limitations due to Covid. Kelly proficiently managed everything from the Chef, Servers, DJ, Furniture Rental Company, Bartender and Cleaning Service. Considering the event had a lot of moving parts and with only 3 months to execute, Kelly handled it with ease. Reflecting back to that day, Kelly absolutely delivered. She transformed an average back yard into something out of the pages of a magazine. I didn't feel like we were at home, but rather at some high-scale, must-attend lounge in some far away place. It presented very masculine, glamorous and rich, yet not over the top or pretentious. The food was amazing, the bartender kept everyone happy, the music was exactly what we wanted. The evening flowed perfectly, which had a lot to do with Kelly. If there was a problem or last minute trip to the store, we were not aware of it, which we appreciated. Kelly really listened when we said that the most important thing for us; was to be fully immersed in the moment with our family and friends. We could not be any more happier with Kelly at BellaB. She gave us exactly what we wanted; a Perfect Day with our family and friends and a wonderful start our new life chapter together as a married couple.

To start out I would say that I understand and sympathize with Kelly's situation given the pandemic…read moreand everything happening lately as it is extremely unusual. However, my review is with respect to concerns over a certain lack of professionalism. I had contracted Kelly and her company's services for a Day Of coordinator for July of 2020 (of course we worked together to reschedule twice with which she was more than accommodating). We finally landed on a date of November 6th of this year. Due to some unforeseen circumstances we had to change our venue and the new venue required a Month Of coordinator as part of our contract with them. Wanting to continue with Kelly's services but add on the additional Month Of we reached out to her and set up a meeting where we detailed what the venue was asking. Kelly had let us know that she would reach out to the venue within the week to better understand what their expectations were so that she could provide us an accurate quote on the additional services needed. A week later we followed up since we had not heard anything. Two weeks after we sent a second follow up. A week after that we sent a third follow up which received an automated email stating that Kelly was handling a personal matter and that her focus currently was on weddings within the next few weeks. By this point the venue had let us know that they had not heard from Kelly and were emphasizing our need to have a coordinator as soon as possible in accordance with our agreement. We had to make a decision so we regrettably messaged Kelly in order to cancel our contract. The email was sent Sep 26, a full month after our call with Kelly and was meant to relay apologies and the unfortunate fact that the situation had changed to where we needed to cancel. I had asked her a question about receiving a refund on our deposit knowing of course that we were not entitled to it as detailed in our original agreement but just wanting to see if there was flexibility given that we hadn't received any coordination services at that point as well as the unusual nature of the pandemic surrounding our agreement. I received no response to my email. Or any of the emails sent to her over the span of a month. She simply cancelled our invoice and contract, and left it at that. This response, or lack there of has really left me with an unfavorable impression and as I mentioned reflects poorly on Bella B's professionalism. When hiring Kelly's services please keep this in mind as I would not wish someone to experience this during the stressful time that is planning a wedding. For reference, as of posting this review I have still not received any kind of correspondence from Kelly that would at the very least serve as a courteous well wishes which is what I offered her despite a month of radio silence. We may not have been top priority for her but we were still a client and we did not receive a bare minimum response which you would expect from a coordinator service.
