We truly believe that our day wouldn't have been so smooth without all their help. Her timeline was impeccable. We had very minimal hiccups if any. Bianca took care of everything for us the day off so if there were any, we didn't notice. She promptly took care of it on her own/with the help of her team. We got to enjoy our day without stressing over vendors or guest. I 1000% recommend having her as your day of coordinator.

Now we don't know how we could have done it without her! We were impressed with her professionalism, willingness to help, organization, friendliness, approachability, and leadership. The meetings and checklists that she provided helped to ease anxieties. With her, we were able to slow down and enjoy the wedding planning process more, because we knew that we had help. We (and our family) were impressed with how organized and smoothly the rehearsal and wedding day went as well.

We had a destination wedding in Eze, France at the Chevre d'or hotel and had no idea where to begin in terms of what was needed for our ceremony, international travel limitations, cost and language barriers, and more. She knew how to make this experience about us and our needs and never made us feel that she was not able to handle any questions or task that came her way. Having her at the ceremony and reception in the South of France put everything at ease and we could not imagine not having her there. With her help, we had our fairytale wedding and as it nears our 1 year anniversary we wanted to make sure that anyone interesting in a wedding planner knew that she is the ONE to get.

Samantha coordinated our wedding last October and we wouldn't have been able to do it with out her!…read moreIt started downpouring and she ran around and took care of everything!!! She also met with us several times in order to realize our vision and helped keep us on track with a timeline and monthly check in's. She also came out to our venue (which was 60 miles away for her) and met with us and our venue consultant in order to make sure everything was set before our big day. Sam ran our rehearsal and coordinated with all of our vendors so that we could just enjoy our day! I could recommend Samantha and The Soirée life enough!! Hire her!!!

I do want to start by saying before I came on Yelp to share my review, I sent my concerns via email…read moredirectly to her for transparency and to have an open conversation. She emailed back saying "Thank you so much for taking your time to write this to us." and that she will review with her assistant. It has been almost a week and I have not had any sort of apology or response to my very lengthy email regarding my concerns. I ultimately wanted an understanding on her perspective of the wedding day, but I got nothing. Thus leading me here to write an honest review. I'm going to be very transparent in hopes to help a future bride and groom in their search. I booked Grace for 100 days prior and for a day of coordination. I am a planner myself and have done lots of coordinating events for my job so I understand what it takes to coordinate a wedding. I hired all my vendors, picked my ceremony location and venue location, I organized my own payment plan, I kept a detailed folder of everything related to my wedding etc. All I needed was assistance in executing the day and ensuring everything ran smoothly and assisting for any issues that came up. I hired her to ease the stress and trust that all is taken care of so I can enjoy my wedding. Overall, I give 2 stars because yes she did help in several ways and there were positive things she did as a coordinator that we felt was great. She helped set up the ceremony and reception, she held 1 virtual meeting and 2 in person meetings with us to get a better understanding of what she needs to do as a coordinator. The files she shared were helpful. She was there for our venue walk through and rehearsal. The very basic needs of a coordinator - she provided. However, when it came down to logistics management, communication between vendors, self initiative, attention to detail, and problem solving, we felt these traits were lacking. I also felt we could have discussed each document she had me fill out in detail to ensure it's being executed accordingly during wedding day, but we did not. I filled out the forms and that was it. In all honesty, we wished we would have seen her and her assistant in the reception hall a little more executing the timeline. Our photographer was fluffing my dress before each photo, our videographer and photographer tagged team to ensure we kept up with the timeline. Sadly, our family and friends constantly asked us "who are those girls just sitting at the front" The communication between us and the vendors could have been better. We started to notice that leading up to the wedding our photographer, videographer, DJ and MC were constantly reaching out to my fiancé and I with questions regarding our big day. Mainly asking what the timeline was, they all wished that they received this earlier. We had the luxury of having our close friends and family be our vendors, so their honest feedback was definitely shared with us. They've also expressed to my finance and I that the communication was very delayed. One thing that really stressed us was the photo permit wedding week. When we held one of our in person meetings, she gave us the confidence that she would handle all paperwork for the park (COI, permits, etc). Though this part seemed lacking. Ours photographer called us 3 days prior to wedding day asking questions. Definitely something that should happen wedding week for the bride. We had the understanding that everything was communicated to our vendors on requirements for the park. We would have hoped this was all squared away and vendors were confident 2-4 weeks prior to wedding day. I have plenty more to say but I will only add one more thing that really upset me. My best friend was my flower girl (no kids wedding) and somehow she played the coordinator role. She assisted in valet parking and seating guests because Grace stated "she knew more people" My best friend felt that Grace kept pushing her to do things. She even asked her at one point how many seats were open. Isnt this a coordinator's job not a flower girl? Sadly I did not get to celebrate with her as much as I would have hoped. It was upsetting when my best friend vented all this to me rather than sharing what she enjoyed about my wedding day. All in all, The work she provided did NOT meet our expectations. The large amount we paid for her services did not equate to the work she delivered wedding day. We just hoped there was a little more planning for sensitive things throughout the wedding day. We hoped that there was a little more communication on her end as a coordinator and self initiative on issues that arise. We would've liked for her to take more initiative and attention to detail. It seemed like there was a lack of concern on her part. Felt like she just came to collect a check.

Absolutely love Grace! This is a much overdue review as a lot has happened since we got married!…read moreBut they deserve 5 stars! Grace was with us through all the steps and came to all the meetings with the venue (while she was pregnant!) and made sure the event went exactly how we planned/wanted. I was also pregnant by the time our wedding came and oh boy, Grace and her team took great care of us. Made sure I was fed and had my non-alcoholic beverage ready to drink! She stuck to our timeline and we felt at ease throughout the whole night that everything would go as planned.

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.
