I first came across Jessica as one of the suggested planners from our venue (Desert Ridge Estate). It was a no-brainer that we signed with Jessica. Her confidence in her ability and tenure felt priceless, and I knew I could rely on her network given her career in the Desert area. Something unexpected happened though right after I had signed with her--I got pregnant! Instead of feeding into my flustered worry, Jessica reassured me that things would still go on smoothly and that she was totally on board to plan this wedding with me. Jessica was quick to expedite vetting and booking vendors (all lovely folks from her network) to leave enough wiggle room for me to do NO wedding work during my first three months postpartum so that I can focus on newborn bliss and recovery. That was truly special, and I am forever grateful that she kept me on top of things enough for me to not worry during those months. Everything leading up to the wedding, Jessica was always extremely responsive, tee'd up with knowledge and advice, and reassuring that everything was going smoothly. I also really appreciated that she let me ship some items directly to her place of business so that I didn't have to drive everything from OC. Rehearsal, rehearsal dinner, and wedding. That weekend was perfect. And I give Jessica the highest credit. Her staff made sure that nothing was amiss, my guests were well-taken care of, and that I was well-taken care of. Anything we needed, they went out to get them (literally we ran low of water, alcohol, nachos--they got em). It was magic. And Jessica was so lovely to my family, especially my son. He was at that stage where he could have stranger danger, but he warmed up to her instantly. Having my baby at my wedding was so special, and I'm happy that Jessica made that even more wonderful for me.

She was a life saver as we had a private estate wedding with a LOT of moving parts, multiple entertainers, caterers, vendors, etc. Gaynor has a lot of experience across different areas, she even stepped in to do some floral arrangements when we had trouble with our florist. She styled our tables beautifully and made sure everything at the venue was gorgeous. Most importantly, she worked with me within our (limited) decor budget to bring in some nice low-cost touches like candles and decorative vases. Gaynor's work behind the scenes allowed us to be in the moment and enjoy the celebration. She kept everything smooth and calm all day long.

Alyssa is nice and if you need flowers, by all means hire her. But if looking for a full or day-of…read morewedding/party planner, please stay away. I think she is just trying to get that part of her business up and running, but she should definitely stay in her lane. So much went wrong, so here goes. Her budget was way off. She did not return calls in a timely manner until it was brought to her attention. Not a big deal? Ah, sadly, there's more. We found out day before the wedding that her computerized version of seating arrangements was "just an approximation." So seating was way off from how we had imagined and we had to make last minute adjustments. She does not know how to run a rehearsal and announced to all that she had never seen a wedding like ours before! (The men walking to the front while bridesmaids walked down alone). This was followed by her lining up all backwards and everyone was trying to tell her it was wrong. So much confusion that the pastor finally took over saying, "Friends, I'm now running this rehearsal." She should've been embarrassed, but she wasn't. The day of the wedding she asked me how to display the table menus - one for each table. I had previously asked her how many frames to bring and she told me. I brought extra, but it wasn't enough. No problem, she said, we can just put the ones without frames up against the centerpieces. How tacky! As guests began to arrive, a friend asked where she could put her wedding gift. When I asked Alyssa, she said that "no one brings gifts to weddings anymore," so there wasn't a place for them. The wedding was to have bubbles on each seat. Not on mine, and I'm the MOB! Didn't get to blow bubbles for my daughter. And others felt the same way. What part of "every seat " is hard to understand? At the reception, wine was to be self-serve on the table and would then be replenished as needed. When I noticed some friends had no wine, her lame excuse was that she thought it would be nice to serve our guests. But those glasses were empty!! There's more but you get the picture. Along the planning way, when asked for lists of what she should be doing and when, her response was that we had no need to worry because it was all in her head. But it clearly was not. We paid a lot for her services. Almost $6000, not including flowers. The day ended up beautiful but because we had to work around her. Such a disappointment. The most disappointing things is when I reached out to her to discuss all of this after the wedding, she took absolutely no responsibility for anything. She actually thinks she did a great job. I'm here to tell you she did not.
