With a father of the groom who worked in flowers his whole life, Kimberly and The Dainty Lion had a…read morehigh bar to contend with. She cleared it with ease, and affordability. Kimberly took the time to sit down with us and our wedding planners to ensure her vision matched not only what we had pictured for our wedding day but also what our planner was putting together. She brings a relevant style that doesn't surrender classical beauty for current fads. Her ability to provide florals for an immense variety of locations and needs is a testament to her skill and eye for design. Not only did she handle classic bouquets, center pieces, and boutonnieres, she also created beautiful flower boxes and a wonderful floral piece for the wood house we were married under. We highly recommend Kimberly for any wedding (or other event!) in Southern California.

I will not write a novel ranting and raving about how wonderful Kimberly is, even though I want to…read more I was married at Green Gables 10/09/15. She is absolutely amazing at being a wedding florist. Also, she's super sweet and easy to talk to. I told her the style I liked and she did the rest. Our wedding was beautiful. Much to my surprise she is very competitively priced without having to negotiate. I spoke with many florists trying to find the right one within our budget. I found Kimberly and thanked the other florists I spoke to for their time. They would email me back saying they could give me a lower price. Ok, why didn't you give me that price to begin with? Anyway, Kimberly is such a gem. She gave me a good price from the beginning, and I think that says a lot about her character. Check her out on Instagram. She has beautiful pictures of her work.

The week leading up to the big day, she took care of all those nagging little details with finesse. I had a couple of annoying vendor things come up and she stepped in and straightened everything out for me! It was great that I didn't have to deal with it when I had family flying in from all over the world! She has an incredible attention to detail and went through my catering contract with a fine-toothed comb, finding weird little mistakes they made that I never would have noticed! Awesome! She also has a very artistic/creative eye and set up my venue/ceremony spot beautifully. I was a total ditz on my wedding day, and she kept me on-track and on-time the entire day. It was so great to not have to think; she did it for me! :) I recommended her to a friend who is getting married and she is kicking butt on her wedding, too! To top it all off, you couldn't meet a sweeter gal. I just adore her. If you are getting married, I couldn't recommend Erin highly enough.

As a very type A bride, I was especially impressed by the attention to detail at our event and how he anticipated our needs throughout the day. Our grand exit was even way more fun than we imagined--they had our guests create an arch with their glow sticks for us to run through! Our DJ was also fantastic, keeping the energy high and the dance floor full all evening. We really got the best of the best!! I highly recommend Epic Events Group for your wedding day!

I had sooooooo many tiny details and a lot of different vendors to coordinate. Mary & Laura got everything done flawlessly! There was a miscommunication on farmtables not having linen and Laura immediately got the linen for me. I had so much decor and it was all placed perfectly. Every detail was exactly as it should be! They also have the best vendors - they got pipe & drape for me, they got a white dance floor for me, they got marquee letter for me, their DJ Jason Lyons was so chill and had great vibes, and Jerri their florist is THE BEST! EcoCaters the caterer was also amazing and delicious! I am a serious Type A bride who had every tiny detail planned and made complicated, and Epic Events was able to bring my vision to life! I had a friend get married who was more laidback, and her wedding experience was exactly what she wanted it to be too. :) I highly, HIGHLY recommend Epic Events as your coordination team because they can do everything!

I can't begin to say enough good things about Elena Donnelly and the staff at Before I Do events…read more Elena was the sweetest person to work with and worked so incredibly hard to make our wedding the day of our dreams and go off without a glitch! She worked so well with all of the vendors and just made the whole experience so much more pleasant. She was like having a little buddy to conquer the world with those last few weeks! I'm so incredibly thankful to her and her staff (who were all total sweethearts too) for making everything perfect!

Being a Project Manager in my every day life, I very much handled my wedding in the same manner. A…read moreproject. However, even good project managers know good delegation skills... Since I already had my vendors and most major details sorted out, I was strictly looking for a coordinator to help me the week/day of our wedding to make it all come together and to relieve any internal stress/anxiety I was surely about to have (note: we had recently moved cross-country from San Diego to FL months before we came back to SD for the wedding...thank you, U.S. Navy.) I was recommended Before I Do Events from a fellow friend and was lucky enough to meet Elena Donnelly. To echo a lot of the other reviews, I cannot say enough great things of Elena and her team for what they did for us that special day. While I'm sure we were not their most complicated, I'd like to think our traditional Catholic and Military wedding put some curve balls into the mix. Elena and her team did an exceptional job from prepping the church, to working hand in hand with each venue coordinator, to making sure the vendors and guests had seamless access to the military base (where our reception was held) to dealing with a difficult reception room layout/setup, transporting/setting every table center piece since I shipped most of it and had it staged in our hotel room (and yes, I did my own flower arrangements because I'm insane!) down to the littlest details of making sure we and the bridal party had sandwiches for lunch on the trolley as we ran around SD taking pictures in between the ceremony and reception. The timing of the day was tight and it went in a blink of an eye but it was flawless and for the first time ever (it's hard for me to not be in control of everything) I handed over command to someone that I truly trusted and felt confident would excel in executing every last task of our big day. Elena, you handled everything with ease and you did it with class...thank you again to you and your Before I Do Events team for making it memorable!

Every detail was thoughtfully handled, and nothing was overlooked. The level of care and attention they brought to every aspect of the day was incredible. Even the smallest details that mattered deeply to us were executed flawlessly. Throughout the day, we felt completely taken care of. Their calm professionalism allowed us to be fully present and enjoy every moment with our family and friends. Rachel even made a mid-dinner stain on my dress disappear as if it had never happened. And while we know they can't technically control the weather, we're still convinced they found a way to turn an 85% chance of rain into the most beautiful sunny day imaginable. We are endlessly grateful for the care, creativity and heart they brought to our wedding. It was everything we dreamed of and more, and we couldn't have imagined a better team by our side. Some people are meant for days like this, and Molly and Rachel are two of them.

Elena and her team were absolutely phenomenal and made our wedding day so much more enjoyable and stress-free. Day-of Coordination: Elena stood out not only on the wedding day but also in the months leading up to it. She was incredibly helpful during the planning process--offering thoughtful insight into creating a seamless timeline and even helping with ideas for decor and place settings tailored to our outdoor, beachy (and occasionally windy!) wedding. She thought of every detail, from preparing us in advance to get those dreamy photos (like the first kiss and cake cutting) to ensuring everything ran on schedule without a hitch. On the day, Elena was a true lifesaver. From the rehearsal to the ceremony and reception, I never once had to worry about where I needed to be or what was next. She kept everything moving smoothly, pointing me in the right direction while allowing me to fully enjoy the company of our guests and the magic of the day. And she always made sure we were taken care of (never without a drink in hand!). Her leadership and attention to detail made it all so effortless for us. Florals: Melissa tackled all of our floral arrangements, and I couldn't have been happier with how they turned out! Working within my limited budget, she brought my vision to life with stunning florals that perfectly matched our style and the seaside setting. Melissa truly understood the look I was going for, and her creativity and expertise made every arrangement stand out beautifully. She even gave me a calming pep talk before I walked down the aisle, which was such a thoughtful touch during a nerve-wracking moment. If you are considering a wedding at Scripps Seaside Forum (or anywhere else), I cannot recommend I-Do highly enough. Elena is an incredible coordinator who will make your wedding day run flawlessly, and Melissa will make your vision a reality. Thank you, Elena and Melissa, for helping make our wedding day unforgettable!

I booked her early and we initially just did a couple meetings to discuss our vision and needs regarding coordination, vendor contracts and florals since we did not need a full-planning service, only partial. She was always upfront and gave me honest opinions especially when it came to where to splurge and save, and what could look good and what wouldn't. The last 2 months is where she really shined, helping us follow up with vendors on details, setting deadlines for me to book rentals, reviewing contracts and constantly doing sanity checks when I needed it. The day of, she came extremely prepared, everything flowed smoothly (except some technical issues on part of the venue) and she was great at going with the flow and just letting the vibe and natural mood of the day go, and fixing whatever problems I threw at her. We also had her as our florist and she truly out did herself- her prices were incredibly reasonable and she handled everything like a champ when her assistant got sick the day of the reception. She also took my back and forth floral design suggestions and changes very well, as I am quite particular on details in some areas and deferred to her expertise in others. Honestly could not have done it without her and she was without a doubt my #1 worth it vendor! Would absolutely hire her for all your wedding planning and floral needs.
