If you are looking for a wedding coordinator who is meticulously organized, cheerful, a delight to be around, and well-tapped into venues and relationships with other vendors, you will be absolutely delighted with Lucy Tan at The Perfect Knot. From the very beginning, Lucy was incredible. She was on top of communication with us and all of our vendors every step of the way. Her timeline was remarkably detailed--down to the exact time for helping pin on boutonnières and the precise moment of sunset--and because of her, our daughter's wedding day flowed perfectly. She orchestrated the rehearsal the day before with such a happy attitude, making sure everyone felt comfortable and ready. As the mother of the bride, I especially appreciated how she checked in with me a few times during the night to make sure I was happy and to see if we needed anything (which, thanks to her flawless planning, we did not!). Lucy is truly exceptional, and we couldn't recommend her more highly. read more

The Perfect Knot - Wedding Planning Near Me

If you are looking to have the wedding weekend of your dreams, look no further! When we first selected our wedding venue, the venue gave us a list of recommended wedding planners to choose from. After speaking to each vendor, we were sort of at a loss as to which one to select, and so we went back to the venue and pressed them as to who they would MOST recommend. They said we should go with Lucy, and with our wedding now complete, it is not hard to see why. From beginning to end, Lucy was a complete pro: methodical, organized, and detailed. She negotiated quotes and handled contracts from vendors across each area of the wedding: DJ, ceremony strings, photography and video, floral/décor, furniture, hair/makeup, and more. She even helped us plan our Friday night (night before) event. Throughout each step of the way, she was communicative and accommodative to our needs. One highlight from our time working with Lucy was how responsive and adaptable she was to changes. We changed the design scheme/concept shortly before the event, and she was able to work with the vendors to help modify everything to fit the new vision. At the same time, she was also able to work with our ceremony strings vendor to upgrade from a duo to a quartet on short notice, and accommodate a host of other last-minute changes: last minute wedding party swap outs, music changes, and seating arrangement modifications. When I wasn't sure how to draft a wedding party photo list that could fit within the designated time window, Lucy was able to take the initiative to draft it herself. As people who are not exactly experts in things like florals, design, or décor, Lucy's practical suggestions to help bring our broader conceptual vision to a practical reality were also very much appreciated, whether it was stationary items like invitations, save the dates, or signage, or other elements like furniture, florals, and silverware. Organizing a wedding can be completely overwhelming due simply to the volume of decisions required, and when the wedding venue emails you two weeks in advance asking you about your preferred napkin fold, Lucy is there to step in, offer her expertise, and save you your valuable time. During wedding weekend, Lucy is professional, detailed, and organized, even when chaos reigns and there are a million things going on. During our ceremony rehearsal the day before the wedding, she had printed timelines ready to go for all family and wedding party members, and presented a detailed overview of wedding day events and each person's responsibility. She specifically made sure that everyone involved in the wedding had her contact details and information, so that they could reach out directly to her with any logistical questions and leave the couple (us) to focus on enjoying our wedding. But perhaps most importantly, Lucy makes sure to give you a VIP focus during your wedding. Small little details, like her coming over to the head table during the reception and asking us if she could get either of us anything, such as a drink, really meant a lot and were just an indicator of how she goes above and beyond what her contracted role was to elevate the event into a truly extraordinary experience. Ultimately, the wedding planner is the fundamental building block for the entire rest of your wedding. If you want that event to be everything you have hoped and dreamed for, there is simply no better place to start than with Lucy. read more

I don't even know where to begin. You NEED Lucy as your wedding planner/coordinator! At first I was worried I wouldn't be able to hire Lucy for my wedding since it was in Huntington Beach and not San Diego, but I am so happy she agreed! I was MOH for a different wedding planned and coordinated by Lucy and knew I had to have her for my own. Lucy will go above and beyond for you in ways you didn't even know you needed. I had "all the bigs things" taken care of, so I thought I had plenty of time and there wasn't much left that I needed to do. Man, was I wrong. My wedding date was quickly approaching and right when I was feeling the pressure, Lucy took over and saved me. After our consultation she understood our (my husband and my) wedding vision and what was important to us. She coordinated all of the vendors and communicated with the venue to ensure we were all on the same page. She created a wedding timeline with a breakdown of each event. She even developed a "to do" checklist for me with (soft) deadlines to keep me on track (I am a horrible procrastinator). These are only the things that were pertinent to my participation. There were things behind the scenes that she took care of too. Things such as proper paperwork, vendor proof of insurance, and answering vendor/venue questions. I'm sure there were more, but this is the extent of my knowledge. Lucy really wants to make sure that you have nothing to worry about once she takes over for you. You can be rest assured that she understands your vision and you can trust her completely to make it come true. My (now) husband is the planner of our relationship and I am very Type B. I am also a nurse so I experience decision fatigue rather quickly. The day of my wedding, I didn't want to think anymore. The questions and decisions became overwhelming, I could no longer do it. At one point I turned to Lucy and asked her to "just tell me what to do", and she did just that. With grace and gentle guidance I might add. She kept us on track throughout the entire wedding and I LOVED that she was with me the entire time. I received so many compliments from my bridesmaids and groomsmen about Lucy being extremely organized and amazing at her job (We're older so we've been in and attended many weddings at this point). My matron of honor got married in San Diego and used the venue's provided day of coordinator. She told me she wished she knew about Lucy sooner and would have GLADLY paid for her services because it would have been money well spent. Don't make the same mistake and hire Lucy for your wedding! I promise you won't regret it. I can't thank you enough Lucy and your team for everything! read more

I cannot say enough great things about Lucy! If you are thinking about booking a wedding coordinator do not bother looking any further. She was the most professional, efficient, kind, and overall pleasure to work with. I to this day, think she was the best investment during this entire wedding process. I booked her partial package, and I honestly feel like she was a full time planner. She took care of so many things, was so attentive and aware of every detail. She was so easy to communicate with and even went above and beyond to accommodate! Lucy is the best! We felt so secure and happy with having her coordinate our wedding! Thank you again, Lucy! read more

Lucy is an absolute pleasure to work with, and I would give her my highest recommendation for anyone looking for a wedding planner! There are two things that I wanted to highlight about her: 1. Organization and 2. Empathy. In terms of organization, Lucy is proactive in emailing/texting to set up calls and meetings. She always calls on time and will show up early to in-person meetings. These may seem like little things, but it makes a big difference when you work together over the course of several months. During our meetings, she always took detailed notes and would send a nice summary afterwards for us to keep track of everything. She knows how to balance following up on things that need our input while also making sure not to spam/overwhelm our inboxes. Another thing that we liked about Lucy was that she did a great job of trying to understand what we wanted our wedding to look/feel like, and she connected us with the right vendors to be able to make it a reality. There are a million different decisions you need to make while planning a wedding, and Lucy was great at breaking down each component in ways that were easy for us to make progress on. It really felt like she understood what we wanted, and everything turned out just as we imagined on our wedding day. One last thing I wanted to mention was just how nice it was to work with Lucy. She never made us feel like any question or idea was too silly, and she often went above and beyond to make sure our wedding day turned out just the way we wanted it to. We couldn't have asked for a better planner! read more

For all the brides to be and grooms to be on yelp, look no more! Lucy will make the wedding planning process so much smoother and as stress free as it could be and will help make your dream wedding came true. It was a real pleasure to work with Lucy while my husband and I both had an extremely busy career to attend to and had zero experience with event planning or the details that go into a wedding. Lucy is incredibly detail oriented, professional, talented, helpful, organized and conscientious. She walked us through all the steps and details we need to think of that are known or unknown to me and followed up at critical point of time to make sure everything is on track. Additionally, she will offer you honest and practical advice, if you were curious, as to the different ideas when you are in the design phase. I couldn't have a better wedding planner and cannot think of a single point for complaint even when I really try to. Lucy is perfect and you will have the most dreamy big day with Lucy's help. read more

Lucy was truly a dream come true. From the very beginning, she made us feel so cared for and supported, like we were her top priority every step of the way. She thought of everything--every little detail we never would have imagined--and brought our ideas to life in the most beautiful way. Her creativity, expertise, and dedication turned our wedding into an absolute masterpiece. It was perfection in every sense of the word. Beyond her incredible planning skills, Lucy was such a warm and kind presence. She was patient, relatable, and always knew how to calm any stress or nerves. Her vendor recommendations were spot on--every single one of them reflected Lucy's own wonderful disposition and commitment to excellence. Lucy went above and beyond in every way imaginable. She wasn't just our planner; she became a part of our story, and we couldn't imagine our wedding without her. If you're searching for someone to make your wedding everything you've ever dreamed of, stop looking--Lucy is the one. She will make magic happen! read more

JUST BOOK LUCY AND YOU WILL BE FOREVER GRATEFUL. Please read below for just a snip bit of why. The one vendor you do not want to forgo due to budget is your wedding planner. This is an investment that pays dividends, plus more, especially if you hire Lucy. You plan your wedding for months or even over a year in advance; thus, you want to ensure you can enjoy that day (trust me, it will fly by due to the busy schedule alone) thus you want to ensure you have everything in place to enjoy that moment you deserve. Lucy is such a genuinely sweet individual who just has the purest intentions for you and your spouse. No words can describe her value, her work ethic and kind spirit. There was one moment where I was very nervous due to unhealthy family dynamics, and she picked up on it instantly and provided a moment of support that allowed me to remember I am safe. This is something she did not have to do, but just speaks volumes to her character. Lucy is extremely organized and ensured that I had everything finalized well in advance before the wedding. I have never planned a wedding before so it was nice to have a resource to ensure I, indeed finished everything. She had contacted all of my vendors for me, obtained all of their documents required by the venue, established the timeline, arranged each vendor's arrival times and locations, set up reserve signs for me at the ceremony, created a timeline for the bridal party, and so much more. She was able to tame our rambunctious bridal party. It was great. She has a variety of plans to fit your need and budget, so please inquire with Lucy. I think something important to note is that through all of the emails and channels of communication, she never missed one detail, and trust me, many things change the month and weeks before the wedding. But she did not miss one single thing. My husband and I are forever grateful to Lucy and her team. We would not have had the wedding of our dreams if it was not for Lucy. I hope you choose Lucy to be a part of your wedding. It will be the one decision you will find the most value in (besides marrying your spouse!) Happy wedding planning! (we chose the 3 month package however she was nice enough to allow communication beyond the 3 months. She is amazing.) read more

Lucy was an amazing wedding planner. I barely lifted a finger from start to finish. She had great suggestions when it came to decor. She acquired every vendor for me. Everything was exactly how I pictured it. I couldn't have pulled it off without her! It was extremely easy to contact her via phone or email. I was able to schedule a meeting or a chat with her at any point during the planning process. She made sure that we didn't forget anything. She made sure that anything important to us was covered with ease. My husband and I will have the best memories forever because we decided to hire Lucy. I would highly recommend her to anyone! read more

Lucy was such a joy to work with! She was super organized and knowledgeable, and she anticipated our every need, including before, during, and after our wedding. Cannot recommend her enough!! She helped to make it our perfect dream wedding!! read more

Lucy is amazing! My husband and I had the most beautiful and perfect wedding day, and we were able to relax and really enjoy being in the moment knowing Lucy had everything under control. Lucy is the wedding coordinator we didn't know we needed. We started working with Lucy shortly after we booked our venue a few months before our wedding day. Lucy gently guided us through the planning process and kept us on track while we planned our wedding in about five months with busy work schedules. She recommended and provided introductions to our photographer, officiant, baker, hair and makeup artists and more, handled communication and coordination of all the logistics, created a timeline and made sure everything went smoothly on our wedding day. We worked with a great group of vendors and Lucy made sure all the details came together for our guests to enjoy and for us to have a day we will always cherish. And she was lovely to work with too. I would highly recommend working with Lucy for an enjoyable planning experience and stress free wedding day! read more

Lucy Tan from The Perfect Knot is an amazing wedding planner. We got married in Aug, 2025 and selected partial wedding planning, and honestly got so much more than what we would consider partial! Lucy really goes above and beyond. We were thrilled with all aspects of her services - professionalism, organization, communication, attention to detail, and passion for her craft. You can tell how much she cares about bringing your dream wedding vision to life. We got married at a resort, but had so many outside vendors, a huge wedding party and guest list, and Lucy managed it perfectly. She kept everything organized, on time, and always came prepared to all meetings. We are so grateful. There were no problems and everything went so smoothly because of her. I would 100% recommend her to all brides and am hoping that all of my engaged friends will use Lucy for their weddings as well! read more

Hiring Lucy to coordinate our wedding is quite possibly the best choice we made throughout the entire planning process. She was incredibly communicative, supportive, patient and provided the guidance we needed while we sorted out the never ending details of our big day. Prior to the big day, she managed our full day's timeline, communication between our many vendors, kept me on track time wise, and managed to calm me down when certain aspects of planning caused me frustration. She was kind enough to make sure our ceremony rehearsal was straightforward and quick, leaving us to enjoy our rehearsal dinner and time with our friends and family the night before the wedding. On the morning of our wedding, Lucy made sure that everyone was where they needed to be, every detail was in order, nothing was misplaced or forgotten. She made sure that I drank and ate throughout the morning, decorated the entire reception area with the help of her assistant and the florist (everything was stunning and well beyond my expectations), rounded up my large family so that I got all the group family pictures I wanted, and ran back to our hotel room to grab things I had forgotten in all the chaos. If you are on the fence and think you may not need a wedding coordinator, save yourself the stress and hire Lucy. You will absolutely not regret it. You deserve a fun, beautiful, stress free day and she can help you achieve it! Our day was PERFECT and we owe so much of that to her. Thank you Lucy!!! read more

Her help was seriously priceless. Our day was so perfect, it couldn't have gone better! read more

Lucy is amazing!! I don't think my wedding would have even been possible without Lucy's amazing support and experience. Our venue required a wedding planner and Lucy came highly recommended. She made the entire planning process so easy. I was honestly dreading the whole experience of planning my wedding but Lucy actually helped me to enjoy It. She has amazing relationships with all of the vendors she recommended and each one we worked with couldn't say enough kind words about her. I truly had no worries leading up to my wedding because I knew Lucy had everything handled. The day of my wedding I couldn't have been more calm knowing that everything would go smoothly with Lucy there. She handled everything and just told us where we needed to be. My family and friends were in awe of Lucy the entire wedding day! Not only is she amazing at what she does, she is so kind and sweet. Hiring Lucy was the best decision we made for our wedding!! If you're considering hiring her for your wedding, DO It!! You will not regret It!! read more

The BEST wedding planner! Top tier service and nothing less. Professional, organized, accommodating, and a great communicator. Lucy was more than helpful through every step of the way. She responds quickly and will never make you feel uncomfortable. Lucy sets the standard and goes above and beyond. Some of my guests even complimented how well she did her job. Without Lucy, I truly do not think our wedding would've flowed as smooth as it did. Our dream wedding was achieved and Lucy was responsible for it. Want my recommendation? Look no further. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! DO NOT HESITATE. Thank you for everything Lucy! read more

Our wedding day was truly perfect and we owe so much of that to Lucy. From day 1 she makes you feel so calm, comfortable and excited about the creation of something as important as your wedding day. I had a very specific vision to my wedding day style and decor and on the day of the wedding Lucy executed it perfectly. Her communication with vendors is incredible and provides you with such comfort knowing she is taking care of everything and asking all the right questions. Christopher and I are forever grateful to have had Lucy as our wedding planner and if you are looking for a planner, look no further, Lucy is your girl! read more

My husband and I were recommended Lucy by my makeup artist, Michelle of Lipstick and Luster, and we are so thankful she did. Lucy is incredibly kind and patient. She also is very organized and prompt in returning calls and emails. We are very particular and thorough people and we had full confidence handing over the reins to her. We are so grateful to be able to enjoy our day knowing she was there to take care of everything. Our vendors who already knew her, looked forward to working with her again and others expressed how easy this event was with her great communication. So much so that we really felt that everyone was on the same page. If we ever need to plan an big event again, we are definitely calling her! Thank you, Lucy. You are invaluable! read more

QUEEN LUCY!! That is what all of my bridesmaids were calling her during our wedding weekend. From the start, Lucy has been so incredible. My husband and I had no clue where to start with planning a multi-day, multi-culture wedding and Lucy was soooo helpful. She took the time to think about budget-friendly ideas, went above and beyond with communication and speaking with our vendors, and was the reason everything ran so smoothly. Lucy is kind, patient, organized, and just the best wedding planner! I could not recommend her more!! read more

I cannot even begin to explain how incredible Lucy is...SHE MADE OUR WEDDING DAY PERFECT!!! At first, my husband and I did not really think/ know we needed a wedding planner, but we were quite incorrect and I could not imagine our day without Lucy. We started our planning with her 3 months before our wedding and she made everything so seamless for us. Between making our complete schedule, contacting the vendors, and being our "fairy godmother" the entire duration of our wedding day, Lucy made sure everything moved on time, we had everything we needed, and everything was in its place. Even down to small details like having fashion tape, bobby pins in her purse, Lucy thought of everything. Every time I would feel stressed that we were behind on timing, Lucy was always there to reassure us that everything was moving exactly as it should. She also took the time to bring our things up from the reception room, to our hotel room so we did not have to collect these items ourselves. She thought of all the small things, which turned into big things that made our day unreal Our guests loved her, our wedding party adored her, and we had the most amazing day because of her. We love Lucy so so much! read more

I cannot sing Lucy's praises enough. She was a HUGE reason our wedding day was so perfect. She was so organized, easy to communicate with, and more than willing to complete any request necessary to make our day as perfect as we dreamed it would be. We adore her and will be staying in touch. 1000/10 | promise! read more

We could not have been happier with Lucy's service. She was there for us, every step of the way. We loved her calm and knowledgeable presence. Communication was outstanding, always getting back to us quickly with answers. Her advice was sound, tailored to what was important to us. We could not recommend her more! PS - when I called multiple references prior to hiring her, there was not one negative thing to be said about her. She is truly amazing! read more

I don't think we could possibly sing Lucy's praise higher if we tried. She is a consummate professional as well as a fantastic person. She did an absolutely incredible job making sure our wedding went off without a hitch. From recommending vendors, to making sure everything was paid on time, to coordinating everything the day of the wedding it was absolute perfection. Every wedding we have been to we have been told to "expect something to go wrong the day of your wedding and don't get stressed out about it because there is nothing you can do", Lucy took that as a personal challenge and made sure there was not one hiccup or problem on our wedding day. We were able to relax and get ready without a care in the world because Lucy was there to make sure our day was perfect. If you have the opportunity to hire Lucy as your wedding planner, jump at the opportunity because genuinely it would be impossible to find anyone even close to matching how amazing she is. read more

Lucy is an amazing wedding coordinator. She is extremely organized and attentive to every detail. Her ability to plan, anticipate, and manage the show made the lead up to and day of our wedding seamless. The wedding day was perfect - everything was on time and better than anticipated. Her ability to manage vendors, guests, family, as well as appear at the right place at the right time to guide us through the day made the entire day stress free and picture perfect. We couldn't have asked for more and highly recommend! read more

Where to even begin.. without Lucy our wedding would not have been what it was - a dream come true perfect weekend! From our initial phone call we knew we had to work with Lucy. She's kind, understanding, supportive, and extremely organized and detail oriented. She guided us for over a year as we planned our big weekend. She kept us on track with vendors, helped us plan little details, and went above and beyond to make sure things went smoothly. When things would pile up she was always there as a supportive friend to coach us through and calm us down. Without Lucy I really don't think I would have survived the planning process - she made everything SOOOO much better and easier for us. Words can't express enough gratitude towards Lucy the past year+ working with us - we have enjoyed every interaction and moment and are sad that our wedding planning together has come to an end. Anyone in the world would be lucky enough to work with Lucy - you won't regret it. She is truly the best in the business and cares so much about her couples. read more

With many years in wedding industry and having done hundreds of weddings I have never had the unique experience as I had with Lucy. Genuinely caring and professional. From the start I knew this wedding planning will go smooth and in detail as planned. She has an absolute grace in her and takes this profession to another level of uniqueness and professionalism. We did the flowers for this wedding and the set up was challenging given the dimension of the wedding and it was by far the smoothest wedding we have ever set up. Customers loved it and only because of the care and guidance of Lucy. She took the best care for the customers and us. Made sure everything was as planned and everyone was being taken care for. Amazing!!! read more

5 stars does not give Lucy enough credit. From the first time we spoke I knew that I was in good hands. 6 weeks to wedding day, Lucy took over planning seamlessly and I felt a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. Even before then, she was gracious in answering questions when I needed an expert opinion. In the days leading up to my wedding and on wedding day specifically I didn't have to think about timelines, set up, vendor communications, or any other details - we could just enjoy ourselves. I typically have issues delegating or relinquishing control in other areas of life but I knew that I could trust Lucy to handle everything and she did not let me down! My favorite thing about her is that besides being an expert wedding coordinator with wonderful attention to detail, she has such a pleasant and warm persona that absolutely put me at ease during a very emotionally intense few days. I could not recommend her more and you should absolutely work with her - you won't regret it. read more

My husband and I are convinced that if we hadn't hired Lucy, our wedding would not have happened on the day and in the way we wanted. This is how essential her guidance, support and experience were to making our wedding possible in the midst of challenging and stressful family events. Even without these events, I highly recommend hiring a coordinator, especially for destination weddings. We live in Seattle but got engaged and planned our wedding in San Diego. As non-locals, it was critical to have someone with experience and local contacts to help us narrow down the vendors and options, which is undoubtedly one of the most time-consuming and overwhelming parts of the wedding planning. Lucy is experienced, focused, and attentive--she will listen and understand the couple's preferences, style, unique circumstances, budget, and will keep all of those factors in consideration throughout the planning phase and on the day of the wedding. We also very much appreciated that Lucy tried to come up with more cost-saving options and was incredibly helpful in guiding us regarding a million details and decisions given that we both came into the wedding planning pretty clueless. My then fiance and I had lots of questions in the beginning, later followed by many ideas --Lucy was key to helping us understand what was important and prioritize accordingly. She also beautifully and quickly incorporated all of our ideas into a wedding day timeline so that it flowed smoothly and perfectly. In addition to her great event planning skills, Lucy is a great person to work with: she's open, considerate, and kind and yet is ready to share her opinion and honest feedback when asked. On the day of, Lucy ran the show: she got everything well-coordinated and covered--from vendors, small and big details, timing, bridal party, guests, and us. I have no idea how she managed to be everywhere and keep an eye out on everything yet never being in the center of attention. Lucy truly made the wedding seem to flow effortlessly and perfectly, managing it all from behind the scenes. It is an impressive ability that we did not take for granted! Also, despite it being a SD wedding, it started pouring rain on our wedding day. While we were disappointed regarding the timing of the weather, I didnt worry at all about the ceremony (the location of which had to change since the rehearsal), because I knew that Lucy had a back-up plan in mind. It is hard to overstate how much of a difference it made to have Lucy by our side and running the day so that we could just let go, not look at the time, not stress about back-up plans and details, and instead be in the moment and enjoy our special day. We had a truly fantastic wedding despite the rain, resulting in a change of plans on the day of. Many of our guests noticed how well-planned our day was and we got tons of compliments about it being one of the most fun and enjoyable weddings they have ever attended. Lucy played a key role in making all that happen, and we are forever grateful. read more

I hired Lucy for the Month of Coordinator / Day of for our wedding at La Valencia on August 13, 2023. If you need a coordinator, do not hesitate to work with Lucy! She is amazing! Even if you are planning your wedding yourself like I did.. We had a short 6 month engagement so I did all the research for vendors and what type of set up I wanted.. There is so much more to planning and executing the perfect day than what I could do. You can buy all your decor, signs, organize vendors, but when it comes to the month of planning and the day of coordination, you will want to have Lucy by your side making sure everything goes well. She is exceptional at what she does. She does offer services for full blown wedding planning from start to finish which I didn't need but I know if you are interested in that, she would be amazing to have. Lucy is very organized, communicative and calming. My nerves were starting to get the best of me and she is so cool, calm, collected and that really helped me out on our wedding day. She was also amazing leading up to the wedding and communicated via email and text with me and answered all of my questions and gave me friendly reminders of things I needed to get to her. She executed our day perfectly and didn't forget anything. My husband I loved working with her and on our wedding day my family met her and loved her as well. She really is the nicest and sweetest person. I highly recommend working with her for whatever type of wedding you are planning. :) read more

If I could give 10 stars, I could. Working with Lucy was the best choice I made throughout the entire wedding process. I had no idea where to start with wedding planning and was very much overwhelmed, when the director at our venue recommended Lucy. She came highly regarded, and from the very beginning, I immediately understood why. She is the most organized, knowledgeable, and supportive wedding coordinator I could have imagined. Lucy is so good at her job that I really do not think I can do it justice through words. She is kind and understanding, diligent and communicative, and I will be thankful to Lucy for ensuring a smooth and amazing wedding day forever (the gratitude I have for her runs deep!!). Lucy will make your experience so, so, so much better. I am SO lucky to have worked with her. read more

First off, if you are on the fence about hiring a wedding coordinator, just do it! It doesn't matter if your wedding will be big or small, casual or fancy, in a back yard or on a yacht, I promise it will be the best investment you could make for your wedding! Secondly, HIRE LUCY!!! If I could give 100 stars I would! Lucy was incredible. From big picture plans to day of details, Lucy made things seamless on a day that many brides refer to as stressful! She made excellent recommendations, set up site visits and taste testing's, did all the follow up and gave insightful suggestions based on her experience that were game changers. Lucy had every "i" dotted and "t" crossed. She was so in tune with what we wanted for our day and she was able to bring it to life perfectly. I can't even begin to express my gratitude for all she did for our wedding. She was such a delight to work with, and we could not have been happier with the service she provided. read more

I cannot say enough great things about Lucy. Being the Type A planner that I am, it was extremely important to me to entrust someone who I knew would understand my vision and make our wedding day perfect, and Lucy did just that. She was always so responsive and had answers to all my questions, and she didn't miss a single detail! Lucy is kind, organized, thorough, and thoughtful. Even though I had a timeline in my head for the day, I never had to get to the point of writing it out because she was a step ahead and put together a perfect timeline that put into consideration not only the things that were important to me, but also things I hadn't thought of like what time we should go down by the beach for sunset photos. While our wedding venue did have preferred vendors, I asked Lucy for recommendations for hair and makeup and I ended up loving the woman I hired for that as well! Lucy reached out to all my vendors ahead of the wedding and made sure they had the timeline, knew when and where to arrive, and coordinated any insurance paperwork that was needed from them. On the day of our wedding, I never had to worry about whether things were being set up correctly, whether vendors had arrived on time, whether the guests knew where to go, whether we would get back our items, or anything else, because I knew she was on top of it. Of all the vendors I hired, Lucy was absolutely the one I was the happiest with and I am so thankful for her! read more

Where do I even begin? Lucy was an integral part of planning and executing our wedding. We hired her 7 months out from our wedding date and she helped us plan each step - from helping us with checklists, helping us find vendors, confirming all details, decorating - and most importantly being a source of emotional support through the stress of planning. Lucy is knowledgeable, organized, calm, and made our day feel effortless, even though I knew she was doing one million things behind the scenes. We loved working with her and would 10000% recommend her! read more

Lucy is incredible!! Hiring Lucy was one of the best decisions we made. She took so much pressure off of wedding planning while I was away in another state for medical school. She coordinated everything down to the last detail. She was so sweet, professional, and amazing to work with! read more

Lucy was the best wedding coordinator anyone could ask for! She was extremely organized, personal, calm, helpful and knowledgeable. Our wedding went super smoothly, thanks to Lucy and her dedication to our event. It's clear she loves what she does and is very skilled at it--a rare combination! We highly recommend her to all our friends and family. read more

My husband and I live in New York City but wanted to plan our wedding in my hometown of San Diego. As we started our wedding planner search, we were mainly looking for someone who could be hands-on "on the ground," have good connections to vendors, and be highly communicative & organized. After our wedding this past month, we are so happy to report that Lucy was all of those things and more. We hired Lucy for full-service wedding planning and from the very start, we needed a lot of help finding a venue considering we wouldn't be in town for any of the process. We thought it would be impossible to get an oceanfront venue that matched our budget with a 6 month engagement, but within a few days Lucy had sent out dozens of emails & was fielding a thousand quotes. The wedding venue we chose in the end was beyond perfect and my (then) fiance & I agreed that selecting her was already proving well worth it in the first two weeks. Beyond that, she maintained a great amount of communication and organization for everything from major details (vendor selection) to tiny details (picking out easels). Thanks to her connections, we were able to negotiate some great deals that would have cost us far more if we were doing it ourselves. She consistently went above and beyond: once, by driving to our preferred donut shop when she couldn't get in contact with them via email or telephone. Another time when she rearranged one of her own trips to meet with us in person during a small time-span that we would be in town. She quickly understood our vision, what was important to us, what we were willing to save money on, and managed to bring everything together. The two things we appreciated the most was how she saved our inboxes by consolidating all of the research/vendor emails for us (we both have extremely demanding jobs) & made sure that no balls were being dropped. She did a great job of bringing things to attention only when they needed to be dealt with, so we could tackle little sections at a time. I can't imagine dealing with everything on our own! As a person, Lucy has a warm & reassuring personality, but is also extremely sensible and will share her opinion if needed. We really valued having someone like that rather than just a "yes" person who agreed with bad decisions! She brings years of experience to the table, and that really came through on the day of the wedding when she managed to catch that my dad had forgotten to pick up a major item (fortunately with enough time to resolve it with no issues!). There were so many other little things that made it immeasurably helpful to have Lucy there - from making sure we stay hydrated, to only informing us of things when we needed to be, to setting all of the decor up perfectly. We truly can't imagine going through this wedding planning process from 3000 miles away without her. I would definitely recommend her to anyone planning a wedding in San Diego! read more

Lucy is such a meticulous, kind, thoughtful, hard-working, personable and collaborative wedding planner that it is hard to write a review glowing enough to fully capture how pleased we were to work with her. Suffice it to say, that in whatever capacity, you'll want her involved in your own wedding if you want to enjoy your day to the fullest. "Weddings are stressful" is the conventional wisdom. Incredibly less stressful with the assistance of a wedding planner as capable and skilled as Lucy Tan. She was adept at including everyone in the process while prioritizing our vision of the perfect wedding. Whenever we felt flustered, Lucy was calm and prepared with a solution at hand. The enjoyment of our wedding day by all in attendance was in no small part due to Lucy's attentiveness. Additionally, she had great relationships with all of our vendors and the venue. They loved working with her as much as we did! We highly recommend working with Lucy Tan and the Perfect Knot! read more

Lucy was the absolute perfect wedding coordinator for our La Jolla Beach Wedding! We had to postpone the date several times due to the pandemic and Lucy was always so accommodating and adaptable. She was in communication with us every step of the way over the 1.5 years of planning and never failed to ease my nerves when various concerns arose. She truly thought of everything and I knew we were in good hands on our special day - we really couldn't have gotten through wedding week without Lucy! I cannot recommend her enough! read more

We can't say enough positive things about our experience with Lucy! I am so happy we worked with her and would recommend her again and again! I chose Lucy after reviewing and speaking with several other coordinators. We live in Arizona and it was hard to book a contract with someone that you haven't yet met in person, but right of the bat Lucy was so professional and easy to work with that it set our minds at ease. We only booked 'Day Of' services, but her assistance went so far above and beyond just Day Of. She was there for our rehearsal the night before (at no extra charge!) and she had such a great way of keeping everything moving and under control while still being friendly and fun. On the morning of the wedding, I was texting her last-minutes things I had forgotten about but she was already on top of it and had taken care of it! The ceremony and reception ran so smoothly and I didn't have to think about anything because she took care of everything! And, it didn't stop there! Lucy found out we were honeymooning in England at the sister hotel of the one she used to work at so she made some calls and when we arrived, we were blown away to find rose petals, balloons, champagne and chocolates waiting in the room. She also helped us arrange reservations for afternoon tea at her old hotel and had them present us with a special dessert, as well. If we could rate higher than 5-stars we would, because Lucy was really the key to our day being as wonderful as it was. Thank you so much, Lucy!! read more
