She was paramount in designing our table decor and tying everything together into a chic and stylish wedding. We were very picky, but she had patience with our process and showed us multiple iterations until we felt comfy, which we SO appreciated. She also helped us find decor vendors that matched the vibe we were going for, as well as helped us fine tune our ambitious color palette. It was so gratifying seeing everything come together. On our big day Heather and her team took care of everything! We didn't need to think about anything except marrying one another (and our coordinated first dance ). Heather is very sweet and reassuring which helped put us at ease. She even won over our 4 yr old nephew who can be difficult, and he did a great job as the ring bearer thanks to her! We highly recommend her for your big day!

This outdoor space is absolutely stunning and offers plenty of time and room for both the ceremony and the reception. One of the biggest highlights is the sheer number of gorgeous locations on-site for bridal photos -- it is a photographer's dream. The team at The Grove is truly incredible. They were so kind, attentive, and assisted us with everything we needed for a smooth setup and access. It's rare to find a venue that is both this beautiful and this well-managed. It is definitely one of our favorite venues in the Inland Empire! -- Annalicia | Together Time Party Rentals

She fixed issues with our timeline so we didn't feel rushed on the day and were able to take all photos early. She handled unexpected hiccups on the day calmly. I cannot thank her enough!!

THANK YOU BONNIE & TEAM FOR THE BEST WEDDING VENUE EVER!! I will start this review off by saying…read morethat I photograph weddings, so having a gorgeous scenic spot to marry my boyfriend/fiancé of 11 years was the #1 on our list and The Pond (+ the overcast weather haha) DELIVERED. And the #2 thing on the list was having a variety of backdrops to photograph against which we also found here no question. We first toured The Pond and met with Bonnie (the owner) back in September 2022. We had already toured 5 other venues and this ended up being our second to last tour and last day of touring. The second I stepped on the premise I knew we had found our place. The venue is absolutely gorgeous, breathtaking, and well taken care of. The pond is also full of bright koi fish and other cute little friends like ducks walk around. I felt like we were already late in booking a 2023 date, but to our luck they had May 5, 2023 open which was also 11th anniversary! Easy and done. This hidden gem venue has charm and is the most unique and scenic venue I've ever been to. The main selling points for us in addition to the views were: 1. Full Bridal and Groom houses to relax and get ready in. We each had 8 bridesmaids and groomsmen + our family so it was very important to us that we could find a place that could accommodate our large party to get ready in. They also have separate parking for the wedding party right next to the Bridal/Groom houses and another larger parking lot for guests which is also free for them 2. Fun and unique areas for all of our guests to spread out and explore. Including the gazebo overlooking the pond, fire pit (for s'mores), and cove underneath the gazebo to experience a waterfall. There was also a ton of space for all our vendors to set up including a Boba Table and Photobooth 3. Affordable price that included 1 hour rehearsal the day before, 10 hours on the premise for the wedding, and our package also included the DJ and Bartender team. This was great because those vendors are already used to working with Bonnie's team and DJ Richie killed our lighting throughout the venue as well! They also set up heat lamps for us when it got colder at night 4. DIY everything! I have been looking forward to planning my wedding my whole life and had a lot of decoration and vendor ideas. Bonnie and our Coordinator team (YourDayYourWay) helped make all our ideas and plans come to life and were gracious about accommodating everything we asked for including keeping the sails down in the ceremony space for our photos, letting us do special cups for boba, and letting us choose our catering (5 Elementos Food Truck). The whole event was 100% customized by us and this was so cool since I know a lot of venues have strict rules they never bend. And for anyone who may be deterred reading this because they don't want to DIY everything, I promise the venue still looks great just as it is even without all the extra stuff. Seriously! 5. They allow sparkler exits! Not many venues in CA allow this and I was stoked they had the perfect spot for it If you happen to stumble upon my review and are wondering if you should book The Pond for your next event/wedding, just do it! :D

I reached out to Cross + Swan Events to help me plan my wedding. Before choosing them, I had a…read moremeeting with the owners Jacqui and Sydney who took the time to listen to what I needed in a planning company & planners and tailored a quote to fit my needs. I hired them about 8 months prior to my wedding and they were there every step of the way, with monthly meetings to keep me on track of what I needed to do, up until the month prior where the girls took over and ran with it all. I had the utmost confidence in them and was able to relax and enjoy the last month before my wedding, which can be a stressful time. My wedding consisted of a beautiful venue in Joshua Tree that was minimal with amenities/services included, so I had to hire just about everyone - food, cake, rentals, dj, servers, bartenders, flowers, etc! Cross + Swan did an excellent job of coordinating all of the vendors and keeping them on schedule. I had numerous guests at my wedding come up to me and tell me that my planners were the stars that day, nailing every detail and keeping the wedding going at a good pace with the timeline and also keeping everyone happy & worry free. Jacqui was amazing with my vendors the day of the wedding & also made the most beautiful signage for an extra fee for me (welcome signs, seating chart, bar & cake menus). Sydney was great with going the extra mile and driving me, my husband and photographer out into Joshua Tree National Park to capture some amazing photos after our ceremony. When you meet with wedding planners and they stress the importance of the investment in a planner, believe them - it's SO TRUE. They made my wedding day one to remember - and one that was truly stress-free and the best days of my life. HIGHLY recommend Cross + Swan.

Words cannot express my gratitude for Michele Robb and the amazing team at The Perfect Fairytale…read more I've known Michele since grade school and always knew she was going to be a fun and successful boss babe. Not only has she created a fun and successful company but her team at The Perfect Fairytale is creative, professional, and makes everything stress free! The day of the wedding was the best day of our lives and it wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for Michele. She made our wedding dreams come true! It was the PERFECT wedding and it's all because of her. I came to Michele with a simple idea and her and her team worked their magic and brought it to life. If you think you don't need a wedding planner/day of coordinator, think again and if you think you can go with just any one think again! Michele is a top-notch planner and I am incredibly lucky to have had her help. She always made me feel as though she had everything 100% under control. Trust me, you want this in a planner! It's like she was reading my Husband Kyle and my minds! I loved everything she came up with and her calm and easy going vibe really helped relax us through the entire journey. She respected our input and added her special designer eye to our ideas. The day of the wedding ran so smoothly. Everything, every person, every moment... HIRE Michele and her team!!

Michele clearly knows what she is doing, the whole operation ran absolutely seamlessly. From our first intro meeting to the questions during our first planning meeting, you can totally tell she and the team have been doing this awhile and have tons of experience. Now, Joanna. Joanna was the planner for our day and she is just amazing. She is kind, thoughtful, professional, and absolutely takes care of business. When we had a problem with one of our other vendors, Joanna helped guide us in the decision of what to do, and reached out to discuss the problem with the company themselves. The month before our wedding (when you're starting to get totally stressed and overwhelmed), we had our first planning meeting with Joanna (via FaceTime because we live on the East Coast) and immediately I could feel a weight lifted off. She asked questions I didn't even think about considering; every possible base was covered. The day of, she took care of absolutely ever detail; and our wedding was complicated! Three food vendors + appetizers + desserts, DJ, hair, makeup, photos, videos, all the vendors loved her and all our guests had an awesome time. Hiring The Perfect Fairytale was about the best decision we made for the whole wedding and I really can't say enough great things about them.

You get to enjoy the calm and tranquil mountain backdrop, beautiful weather, and the amazing views. We were all outdoors the whole ceremony and reception from day to night, and the candlelit-type lighting was absolutely gorgeous. The gardens are well-maintained, the pathway leading to the reception area was a path that really helped build the anticipation. Coming here definitely ignites a spark of wanting to get married yourself!!! Lol. There's a private parking lot to park at with plenty of space. We were late coming here but got to find a spot easily!! Staff even let us go in their golf carts that transported us through the path. The reception was organized so well, with the staff ensuring the food was perfect to guests' dietary needs (nut allergies, vegetarian, etc). I loved the open bar offered, and you first show your ID to get drinks. The place was full of love that day and I also had so much fun being near the open fire pit to roast some smores!! Dance floor was beautiful with the tiles and large, plenty of space to roam around too. I loved how open the air was and dancing hard didn't get you feeling stuffy. Truly a unique and wonderful experience as a guest.

We decided to get married in Feb because it was more affordable for us and woah did I make the best decision. It can be risky because of rain and snow, however when the stars aligned you get magic! We got rain and snow a week before our wedding and we got a beautiful backdrop of the snowy mountains! The weather was perfection, sunny at 60 degs. The venue is a full package deal! It includes DJ, cake, food, staff, table set up, and some flowers! They even have a piano included. You can also remove items if you rather choose a different vendors. They are paired with citrus blossom as preferred vendor and I 100% recommend her cake! DJ Kevro was awesome! They host an annual open house to meet the vendors and really get a feel what your wedding may feel like! I highly recommend making it to this event once you book! You do not want to miss this because you also win prices! These vendors are giving out generous prices! The staff were lovely to work with. I was in constant communication with Stacy and she was so helpful! Laura was our wedding manager and she was attentive to detail and I throughly enjoyed our final walk through with her. On the wedding day, she managed all the vendors and food and made sure everything moved smoothly. We were lucky to have our wedding assistance Andrew and Carolyn to be with bride and groom the entire day! I would have been lost without them! I heard from the boys that she sewed one of their buttons! She held my flowers and dress train when I was tired. She helped me use the restroom!! She even spoke up for me when my videographer was not listening to me! Andrew made sure we had time to eat during dinner and helped the boys in anything they needed! I can go on and on about how grateful I am for the team!! Like any event, things don't always go to plan. However Laura and the team manage to keep the timeline flowing and no one noticed any changes! If you want a magical dream wedding that is in the mountains and has a rose garden, this is your place!

I love love love Nancy's invitations! I looked high and low for the perfect wedding invitations and…read moreI just could not find the style, colors, and quality I was looking for. But then I found Nancy! She makes hands down the most beautiful and elegant invitations! You can look through her books and find something you like, or change details on something he has already done, or start from scratch. She can do any style, any color, any paper, any ribbon accent, add any embellishment you want, she hand draws motifs, she can do it all! And she sends them to someone she knows if you want raised printing or the recessed printing. And she will also be your calligrapher if you do not want to address your invitations. And that's not all she does. She can do anything paper related like save the dates, place cards, programs, etc. I'm only having her do invitations but I've seen examples for the other stuff. Nancy is a very sweet and patient woman. She really listens to what you are looking for. Just tell her your budget and see what magic she can work for you. Here's her website: http://www.somethingblueweddinginvitations.com/ And her Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Something-Blue/125645417483354?v=app_6261817190#!/pages/Something-Blue/125645417483354?v=info By the way: I'm not sure how Sonny D.'s review applies to Something Blue since Something Blue only does invitations. Her review needs to be moved to Beloved Bridal, which is in the same building but are completely different businesses!

I shopped around many places for invitations and Nancy was the only vendor who did not make it feel like just another business deal. She is really passionate about what she does. Moreover, she was on time, the finished product was PERFECT, and I got endless positive comments from my guests on the invitations. She also did my wedding programs and seating cards. What I liked the most about Nancy was that she did not nickel and dime me--- some places would say "That's 50 cents extra per rhinestone and 1 dollar extra for glossy this or that"--- Nancy did none of that. She truly enjoys here job and it shows. I recommend Nancy to anyone I know is planning a wedding! On a side note: I read the 1 star review below and should comment that Nancy does not manage the wedding boutique part of the shop (she only does the invitations side of t hings) -- But as I understand it, the wedding gown proceeds from this shop all go to charity - so it is not your standard David's Bridal boutique and cannot be judged by the same standards.
