I cannot recommend working with her enough!

Our clients LOVE the room and always ask who did it! First off, we had no idea what we even really wanted the wall to look like or how it was going to end up. We showed Shelby some photos on Pinterest of wall inspiration, and then at our consultation she completely painted a beautiful picture in our minds of what she envisioned. We were so excited! She gave us a quote and then we set a date to do the install. Shelby and Charlie both came in and were so quick! They did such great quality work and are so grateful that they could help fine tune our vision and make it come to life! If anyone is looking for all things floral- we definitely recommend Simply Classic, 100%! Thanks Shelby & Charlie!

Where do I even begin?! From start to finish Suher was a godsend. After deciding to no longer work…read morewith our former wedding planner, I reached out to Suher and she was available for our date thankfully! From the first zoom call, we clicked. Just her overall energy and knowledge was impeccable. She truly has an eye for all the details. We really loved using the Aisle Planner she offered as a part of her package. All her recommendations for vendors and things to add to enhance our big day were amazing! Any time I had an idea, concern, or anything, she was there for us. Throughout the whole year leading up to the big day, she truly became a part of our family. Our day was picture perfect and seamless. She ensured I had not a single thing to worry about and was always a step ahead, which I appreciated. Whenever I have an event in the future, I will be sure to use FRE again. Thank you so much to you and your team Suher! We loved working with you.

Natalie was my bridal assistant on the day of and did an excellent job. She maintained constant communication, making sure me and my bridesmaids all had enough to eat, running last minute errands for me, etc. At the last minute, my hair stylist had to cancel and although I was panicked, Suher reached out to multiple contacts right away to help me find something. Eventually everything worked out! I got so many compliments on how unique, elegant and beautiful the wedding was from guests as well. All in all, Suher and team gave us the wedding of our dreams and we couldn't be happier!

I truly cannot say enough good things about Godoy Events and working with Alana and Lauren for my…read more30th birthday party. I had a VERY specific vision for the night and they completely understood it from the beginning and helped bring everything together better than I could have imagined. From all of the planning leading up to the party to the actual day, they were both amazing. Alana made the whole process feel so seamless and I always felt like my vision was understood and in good hands. You can tell she genuinely cares about her clients and wants the event to be just as special as you do. There were even things they brought to my attention during the planning process that I hadn't thought of (which is saying a lot because I'm very Type A and genuinely thought I had thought of everything ). They had me consider little details I never would have thought about on my own and it ended up making such a difference. And Lauren was seriously ON IT. She was so organized, responsive, and thorough with all of the coordination leading up to the party. On the day of, she went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of the entire time. I never felt like I had to check on anything or make sure something was getting done because she was already on top of it. There were even things that came up the day of that they handled and solved before I ever knew there was an issue. That alone was worth everything to me. I was actually able to enjoy my own party, be present with everyone, and take it all in instead of worrying about what was going on behind the scenes. Alana and Lauren make such a great team and I genuinely don't know how I would have pulled off this party without them. Everything came together sooo beautifully and the night was everything I hoped for and more. I cannot recommend having an event planner or at least a day-of coordinator enough. It is worth every single penny and working with Godoy Events made me understand exactly why. I'm so grateful I trusted them with such a special milestone and already know exactly who I'll be calling when it's time to plan my wedding!!

I was definitely in the "i'm not like a regular bride, I'm a cool bride" category ( we might actually be more difficult, sometimes being too chill is actually harder ) BUT Melanie kept the important things super organized and made sure I had plenty of say in every decision. I didn't know how much I needed a Melanie, but now that the wedding is over I can say with confidence my wedding would have been a hot mess without her and there's NO WAY I could have enjoyed my day had she not been there. I got to soak up every moment of wedding day bliss instead of worrying about operational stuff. I had multiple dance performances planned and she made sure everyone was ready! Including me!! She was on time for every apt, she was professional, and she was patient. Highly recommended!!!

If I could give Julia and her team more than 5 stars I would. That's how valuable of a service they…read moreprovide. I hired Julia for the "month of" package and it was seriously the best investment. Julia is a total professional and super easy to work with. Julia keeps calm, which kept me calm. She is able to be firm when necessary to make sure everything goes according to plan but she is always respectful in her dealings with her clients and all vendors. I had full faith in her ability and I knew she always had my best interest at heart. I'm in project management for my career so I was curious just how much help I would actually need in the coordination department. But Julia's insight and experience proved to be absolutely invaluable. There were a lot of moving parts for my formal wedding - very specific furniture and lighting plans, multiple music changes from musician to dj etc., and very detailed timelines that were pretty tight - I was demanding a lot from everyone involved that they would be on their A game to make it happen. There is close to no one I would trust to manage all of these moving pieces - except Julia! She was on it all from the first meeting til the end of the after party on the big day, which allowed me to relax and enjoy the evening with my husband, family and friends. I had a very specific vision that would not have come to life with out her!!! Frankly, they should be charging double for their services - they truly go above and beyond and add that much value to the planning process and big day. Julia is the absolute best person to have on your team, I can not recommend Events Inspired highly enough!

I would highly recommend.

And it was a journey; we were supposed to get married September of 2020 and we needed to reschedule due to COVID to August 2021. Laura and BPED were instrumental in helping us reschedule with all of our vendors. They also were very informative with all restrictions and guidelines and helped us in the decision making process. We had the pleasure of working with Laura as our primary Event Director and she was phenomenal! She was always super responsive, willing to hop on a call to chat through things, and had a great list of vendor referrals. And let me tell you, day of the wedding, she ran the show flawlessly! We had a lot of vendors and rentals we brought in that needed to be directed on where everything went. During the last couple of months leading up to the wedding, we met with Laura multiple times and we walked through everything from rental/item placements, personal items, logistics, etc. and I felt so confident in Laura's vision as well as her understanding of my own vision for the wedding. We always felt such relief after meeting with Laura. The wedding itself was beyond perfect. Every detail that we discussed was executed perfectly. Laura put together an incredible timeline based on what was important to us as a couple on our wedding day. We were able to actually enjoy cocktail hour, we ate dinner (which I've heard can be difficult!), and had hours out on the dance floor. Laura made it all possible for us to soak in every moment of the day and enjoy it with all of our guests. I will be recommending BPED to every newly engaged couple that I know because everyone deserves to have an incredible planning and wedding experience! If you are thinking about booking them, just do it! You will not regret booking this incredible team!

After researching different planners, Laura was the only person that called back and seemed generally interested and caring about us. I was on it and started a year and a half out ..and trust me, we needed it. Because them Covid hit. And even though the Great Quar, maternity leaves, bride anxiety attacks, venue's changes left and right, Laura and Kayla were there for me 100%. On the day, even with sudden weather changes, crazy family issues and very untraditional happenings, everything went off without a hitch. it was the best day and I couldn't have done it without them!

Working with Kayla was the best decision of our entire wedding planning process! I could write a…read morenovel on how lucky my husband and I were to have worked with her for our wedding in May. We are forever grateful for having her help guide us through one of the most magical chapters of our lives that could have otherwise been incredibly overwhelming and stressful. Fellow couples having a destination wedding, look no further!!! To start, Kayla is truly a powerhouse of an advocate for the couples she works with and is responsible for making our wedding day be the most magical day of our lives. We know that without her, the wedding weekend we had and the circumstances of our wedding day wouldn't have been possible without her. We were so fortunate to have her in our corner through all of the ups and the downs through our 1.5 years of planning. Kayla is an absolute professional. Everyone always says your wedding day will not go perfectly and Kayla executed a 3 day weekend of events with very stressful weather concerns flawlessly while making it look easy and like there wasn't a stress in the world. I know that she protected my husband and I from so much stress and concern through our wedding and we are so grateful of the professional that she is. Kayla is organized, engaged and communicative. Multiple people from our wedding party from both budget and luxury end weddings have shared nightmare stories about their wedding planners being disengaged, uncommunicative and disorganized. However, Kayla exceeded our expectations in every area. She was communicative and responsive to both my husband and I through our entire wedding planning process and beyond, both as individuals and as a couple. She was engaged with our vendors and with our wedding planning. Also, as a type A bride with difficultly letting go of control, she was as type A organized as any event planner could dream of being and any bride could hope for! Often, the wedding planner is often forgotten or standing on the sidelines but not here - my family, wedding party and guests have been raving about Kayla since the wedding over two months ago. She kept a large bridal party focused and organized which is near impossible to do and helped everyone feel prepared for a chaotic weekend. So much so, the weekend was so calm and not chaotic for us at all. The things that could have gone wrong, didn't go wrong because of her and her alone. Kayla also made the wedding planning so fun for my husband and I from beginning to end. I have dreamed of planning my wedding for so long and it was very important for me to have a part in the planning process and not just be along for the ride. Kayla allowed me to walk alongside her through the process in a collaborative approach to wedding planning and not just be on the receiving end of decisions. Lastly, my husband and I both have strong personalities and opinions that often differ and she was patient, kind but also direct and honest with us. We needed someone who could provide us direct opinions and be transparent and honest through the entire process. She was able to do this exceptionally which furthermore describes how professional she is. We will be forever grateful to Kayla and the gift she has given to us of an incredible experience wedding planning and by allowing us to be a guest at all of our wedding events so that we could be present with our friends and family.

Hire Kayla & her team ASAP! She is an ace and was the best decision we made with our wedding…read moreplanning process. I'm very detail oriented and organized and even before I started wedding planning I didn't think I needed more than a day of coordinator and I was so wrong. My husband and I were originally getting married in Cancun Mexico in November 2020 but we had to postpone it to May 2021 but then travel restrictions forced us to postpone again and move our wedding location completely. We found a venue in San Diego we liked but they required us to hire a planner. By this point in the wedding planning process I was fed up and just wanted someone who could essentially take the lead and tell me what I needed to do. From the moment I had my first phone conversation with Kayla trying to find a wedding planner I immediately knew I wanted to hire her. Talking to her didn't feel like she was trying to sell me, she told me her whole philosophy and why she became a planner and how she works and how she grew and trained her team. She told me what was important to her and those things are what matched exactly what I was looking for in a planner. I could tell she genuinely loves what she does and is so passionate about being the planner that the couple needs. Kayla is the absolute sweetest but when she has to, she will lay down the law which is the perfect combination. She will have those honest conversations with you about your budget and if they matched your expectations and when those need adjusting. She also helped us stay on track in planning our new wedding in under 5 months. She made sure we were thinking about every detail and that we had a plan for everything. She helped us stay focused on what was most important to us, but she also made sure Sean and I were taking the time to still enjoy each other in the planning process and sent us some popcorn seasoning for a movie date night in. The month leading up to our wedding, it felt as though we were the only couple Southern House was working with and we're sure that is how every couple feels when working with Kayla and her team. Kayla accomodated to my busy work schedule and knew that texting and hoping on calls during my lunch breaks were the best way to get answers from me. She made sure all the major plans and details were buttoned up a week before our wedding so we could relax and enjoy the days leading up along with our wedding day. Kayla and her team exceeded our expectations on every aspect of planning and executing our wedding day. This day would not have happened if it wasn't for Kayla. Kayla went above and beyond. She worked with our other vendors and threw in extra surprises for Sean and I. Even though she wasn't there physically she was in constant communication with her team. Jessica, Jordyn. & Kellie were so amazing day of the wedding. They were so professional and executed everything perfectly. They were also constantly checking in with the bridal party making sure we had everything we needed and always answered any questions we had. Sean and I didn't have to worry about anything besides getting ready and enjoying our wedding day. We're so glad we had to postpone and move our wedding because in doing so we were able to work with Kayla and we had the best wedding day ever. It was absolutely perfect.
