She chooses the most unique and fanciful flowers--absolutely not your typical bouquets. I have worked with her for years--I've ordered her arrangements for holidays, house parties and for our kitchen table. She is very talented and capable of managing BIG events too. In 2017, I hired her for my son's bar mitzvah--She created flower arrangements for the lunch and dinner at different locations (and delivered them to both) and designed an exquisite Bimah arrangement AND a creative sculpture for the ice cream table. She is so easy to work with, extremely creative and willing to explore your ideas. Whitney is like Van Gough, but with flowers--that's her flower power!

They were the best.

We started working with her on our floral design several months before the wedding. I wanted something pretty specific, incorporating tropical elements since I'm from Hawaii, which is hard to do on a smaller budget. Liz rose to the challenge and well exceeded our expectations. I sent her some images for inspiration and she executed beautifully. Most importantly, she is super sweet, patient and really cares about her clients. I'd hire her again in a heartbeat. Thanks so much, Liz, for making our wedding such a beautiful day to remember!

Her arrangements were so beautiful I stopped her to introduce myself, and a friendship was born! Over the past several years, Kate and I have worked together on many beautiful weddings and I watched her work evolve and become even more incredible. When it came time for my wedding, it was a no brainer that I would hire Kate to do my flowers. I knew whatever she did would be beautiful, but it was so much more than that. The work she created for my special day was so incredible, that it took my breath away. Every bit of the design was simply magical and one of a kind. The process was also wonderful, as Kate is lovely and personable and fun. I hope that every bride can have a day as flawless and happy as my own. Kate is in no small part responsible for the experience we had, and I will always be thankful!

I am so grateful for Monica's talent and care. She helped make our wedding day feel magical, and I can't recommend Gray Rabbit highly enough.

From start to finish she was so professional, friendly and responsive (somewhat of a rarity in the wedding industry). The process to design the florals was very collaborative. She was also so receptive to working with my budget. I provided Monica with a my Pinterest boards for inspiration and she promptly provided a flower board and description of which of the flowers each arrangement would have. As we got closer to the wedding date, I wanted to slightly tweak the design, Monica was super receptive to my changes. The end result was even more beautiful that I had even imagined. I wished I could have spent all day looking at all of her beautiful arrangement but alas, as they say, the wedding day goes by in a flash! Work with Monica, you won't regret it!!!

This review is solely based on a phone conversation I had with Rosemary…read more I called asking about Day-Of Coordinators for a Sonoma wedding (which is required by a venue that I'm considering). Rosemary Events doesn't actually offer DOC, and after chatting with me and realizing that I didn't have the budget for a full Wedding planner, she graciously spent at least 30 minutes talking with me and giving me advice. I can't fully explain how helpful she was when she did not have to spend the time or energy helping me at all. She is obviously a true professional and a really kind person. If I had a budget that could even partially afford her services, I'd use her in a heartbeat!

Regardless of the event, we know it will be orchestrated smoothly if Rosemary and her team are running the show. Perhaps it's her background in movie production, but Rosemary is never rattled and has a plan in place for every possible eventuality. Her events always look fresh and amazing as well and she collaborates with the best designers in the business.

Melissa Panico of MAP Events planned my wedding this past June and she did a wonderful job! With…read moreso many little details and big decisions to make about your big day, choosing a wedding planner may be the most important decision of all. I found Melissa through my wedding venue (Solage Calistoga) and I could not be happier with MAP Events. Since my husband and I had already picked our venue, we hired Melissa to take care of all of our other details. During our initial consultation with her, we were immediately impressed with her professionalism while not coming off too "stuffy". It was clear that she had both the experience and staff to pull off our dream wedding while staying within the confines of our budget. At no point did Melissa try to work outside of our budget, and since her pricing was a flat fee, we did not have to worry that she would try to up-sell us. In addition to creating a wedding budget, Melissa also recommended various vendors and helped shape our vision by hearing all of our ideas and making them a reality. I cannot count all of the emails that went back and forth between us during our engagement, but she was so responsive to all of our concerns. She also went to several meetings with us to help us choose our florist and stake out our venue. More than anything, Melissa gave us piece of mind that everything would be taken care of during our wedding weekend. From timelines, to dealing with difficult family members, to coordinating vendors, Melissa and her staff gave us the most special wedding weekend, and we did not have to worry about a thing. Our family and bridal party all commented about how professional and nice she was. After our wedding we immediately went on our honeymoon for two weeks. Our venue contacted us to let us know that there was surplus wine left at the resort that needed to be picked up. We panicked since we would be in Hawaii for two weeks with no way to get back to Calistoga. Before I could even respond, Melissa had already arranged to pick up our extra wine and have it stored with her staff while we enjoyed our honeymoon. It was this attention to detail as well as her ability to put out fires that makes Melissa an invaluable source for brides on the big day (and even after the fact)!

I can't say enough good things about Melissa as a wedding planner. She helped me plan a wedding…read morethis past Memorial Day and was professional, fun to work with, polite and accommodating at every turn. I read Georgianna G's review and would like to say that over the course of the year we planned this wedding together she was not late once and promptly returned every call. Melissa went above and beyond for us. Our venue (Annadel Estate Winery) was a complicated one. It's necessary to bring in everything from outside vendors. Tables, chairs, lighting, all the kitchen equipment, tents, even restrooms had to be rented from outside vendors and their delivery and set-up coordinated by Melissa. No small job. On top of that, the owner of that winery is...slightly...erratic in terms of...well...everything. She handled everything that came up with him with grace and aplomb. On the day of, I was able to concentrate on my new husband, family and friends with no distractions. On top of that, when the expenses were starting to creep up, we figured out that furniture from cocktail hour could do double duty during the dancing and Melissa arranged to have it moved while we were having dinner. Thus saving us quite abit of money. A direct note to all future brides: sometimes you'll get fantastical ideas in your head about what you want. Melissa will do her level best to accommodate you, but will also point out potential problems. I thought it was a fabulous idea to have peacocks roaming around. She clued me into the fact that they are actually quite mean birds. I did some research and found out that, particularly in the spring mating season, they have been known to attack people who get to close. While that would have made for a memorable wedding, I stuck with the no-peacock plan. Choose Melissa. You will not be disappointed.
