I cannot thank Ro enough for putting on the most amazing corporate event. Our event was a high budget Christmas party with 150 employees and it turned out amazing. She provided options for multiple venues on multiple dates. Throwing a corporate holiday party is like throwing a wedding, and working with Ro is easy. I found myself trusting her judgement on everything, and I'm glad I did. Every employee raved about how incredible the party turned out. I did not hesitate to book her again for next year. read more

My husband and I formed such a lovely relationship with Rolanda, and she will be in my life forever! I Highly recommend working with her, and choosing her to be by your side for the most important day of your marriage read more

Hiring Ro as our Wedding Coordinator is the best decision we made in planning our wedding. Not only is she professional and knowledgeable in the industry but her fun and comforting personality is the perfect balance to make you feel reassured that you are in great hands. We were late to hire her, about 6 months before our wedding date. Since the get go she was helpful in vendor referrals and planning (technically outside the scope of our contracted services). She also attended our venue details meeting with us and asked questions we didn't think to ask. In the months leading up to our big day we met (via phone) several times. Our accountability calls were critical in keeping this procrastinating bride and groom on track. In the weeks leading up to the wedding she became the point of contact for our vendors so we could focus on the items on our to do list. The day of, she took care of every detail for the venue and handled all hiccups that came up (which we weren't even aware of until after the wedding). We truly felt we were able to enjoy our wedding, carefree, because we knew Ro would take care of anything that came up. Her amazing work was evident not only to us but also to our wedding party and guests. We received multiple compliments about Ro and the level of service she was providing throughout the day. If you want to fully focus on enjoying your wedding day, hire Ro! Not only for weddings, she will also help make any event a success! Thank you RO/new bestie! read more

We hired Rolanda for a few events and the last one being the latest few weeks ago. Every time we worked with her she's been incredibly helpful and respectful and responsive. Sometimes we got in touch with her during off hours and still had a very helpful response from her. She's outstanding and professional with creative ideas and ideas willingness to do things at their best. At the last event she stayed at the venue till late as per the requirements from the venue staff and made sure everything was taken care off before we left. I can't thank enough for her help and planning. My entire family and friend circle noticed her presence and how she had everything working smoothly. Thank again and a big round of applause to Rolanda. Mir Ali read more

I first met Ro when I was at a wedding for one of my wife's best friends. Seeing her in action was enough for my wife and I to quickly reach out to her when it was our turn. Ro is an incredible professional who is on her p's and q's! Very easygoing and fun to work with also! Our vendors for our wedding were equally impressed by her professionalism. Her services are well worth every penny if you want to make wedding planning as stress-free as possible. read more

I cannot say enough good things about Vision into Reality Events and its owner Rolanda Hardy. She made my daughter's wedding day perfect. She made the wedding planning stress free for me.

She listens and works cooperatively with the bride and groom to ensure that she understand their ideas and helps them transform them into a memorable wedding. She thought of everything.

She is always so positive and energetic. She brings som many suggestions to the table and tackles every task accordingly. Rolanda was always on top of everything. She always made sure I was aware of everything that was going on without having to do anything. She really was a support system not just for me but for my whole bridal party, especially, my parents. We are forever grateful for all her services. Thanks Ro. read more

So so grateful for Rolanda. She made our wedding planning experience such a breeze. Her attention to detail is impeccable. I am a type A personality but when it came to wedding planning I felt I could relinquish all control because she is just that good! I also felt very taken care of in terms of my ideas and what I wanted. She also checked in to make sure everything worked out right. The day of my wedding was truly the best and she was a godsend for it all. It was a breeze and I got enjoy every second. I felt so safe with her there because her hand was in everything. I also have a pretty crazy family that never starts on time but we were on-time and it was amazing! Highly recommend Rolanda if you want an absolutely stunning wedding and an enjoyable experience. read more

Vision into Reality Events - Party & Event Planning Near Me

I cannot say enough about the amazing experience I had with Rolanda!! I had a major wedding planning emergency when my last "planner" had nothing set up and the wedding was 2 weeks away. Rolanda not only stepped in to save the day...she absolutely killed it and I could not be happier!! Rolanda handled everything and the outcome was gorgeous. I highly recommend her for any event!! read more

Ro is an amazing wedding coordinator and made an invaluable addition to our wedding party. She is detailed oriented and she asks all the right questions, some we forgot and some we didn't know we needed to ask. Ro coordinated with our venue, our vendors, hair and makeup. Because of her professionalism and expertise the weeks and days leading up to our special day were carefree. A few weeks before the wedding I Ro made sure all vendors communicated with her only. It was great! I honestly didn't have to worry about anything. On the day of I was able to sit back, relax, get glammed, get married and enjoy our special day. Thank you for providing us with such phenomenal service! read more

I hired Rolanda, better known as "Ro" from Vision to Reality for my husband's 50th Mardi Gras party. I don't know what I would've done without her. Trying to plan a party for 100+ people in our backyard proved to be an overwhelmingly task from the start. I knew right away I needed to hire someone. From our initial conversation, my mind was instantly at ease. I knew I hired the right person to get the job done. She was quick at responding to all my questions, was able to find vendors that were quite honestly very difficult to find for my Mardi Gras theme (like finding someone to make fresh Beignets) and provided a lot of insight on how to make my event absolutely memorable for our family and friends. On the day of the event she was prompt, arriving a few hours before to help decorate and facilitate vendor arrivals and set up. During the event, she made sure none of my guest lifted a finger. She was found helping in ways that I didn't even except. What was even more pleasing is that she was so personable, interacting with everyone while at the same time working. Ro is a absolutely amazing. She is a one woman show with all the right connections. She helped to execute an event that our family and friends will be talking about for many years to come. read more

Rolanda was absolutely fantastic. She helped us plan our wedding in 6 months during COVID when restrictions were still all over the place. Originally we planned an outdoor mirco-wedding (since that was the only thing allowed at the time). But as restrictions got lifted, we were then able to expand our wedding! She scheduled my dress, venue and vendor appointments quickly and efficiently and helped manage my stress throughout the process. She was very honest about what was realistic with our budget and would tell us what price range was reasonable for various wedding items. Rolanda also recommended the most amazing photographer, florist and bridal shop. Additionally, she handled the coordination and details with the DJ, photo booth, and other vendors. I can honestly say that I could not and would not have planned a wedding without Rolanda. My husband absolutely loved her too and she helped made our day absolutely perfect and stress-free. Would highly recommend her to anyone for an event! read more

We hired Rolanda to manage our wedding. Well, she did nothing! My husband did all the work and her teenage assistant worked too. Rolanda was nowhere to be found! Shes' tried to take credit for all the wonderful decorations my husband did too. Again if you want to waste your money hire her! I'm sure there are better out there. We had a dispute with the photographer and need Rolanda's statement but OH NO she didn't want to help us! OMG, I only needed a written statement, but oh no she wouldn't have it! So lesson learned, get her address, she NEVER GIVES IT OUT. Get a RECEIPT for payments she doesn't provide them! I can't prove I hired here because we don't have a receipt. A good business person would have a business address and a receipt book! Not Rolanda! I think a lot of her reviews a fake! She told my husband once it's easy to get reviews just have your friends do it! OH YA, well here you go Rolanda, here's my HONEST REVIEW. Hire someone else! DO NOT HIRE ROLANDA! Joe V. read more

My husband and I used Ro as our coordinator for our wedding in early June. As soon as I talked to Ro, I knew she would be a great fit and so easy to work with. She is organized, a strong communicator, and gets everything done. Ro is very confident and capable and helped us to feel calm going into our wedding. Even though we only used her for for coordination and not a full planning service, she was available to support us from the day we hired her! Our wedding day went off without a hitch and I'm sure it's because Ro was handling everything in the background!! I absolutely recommend hiring Vision into Reality Events! read more

Rolanda helped my parents envision their 50th Wedding Anniversary Party and was very easy to work with, responsive, direct, and creative. We had to shift plans many times due to covid restrictions and venue issues and Rolanda was flexible and accommodating through the whole ordeal. We highly recommend you work with Rolanda! read more

We worked with Ro to pull off a surprise 1920s party for my mom's fiftieth birthday. Throughout the entire process of planning, Ro was an absolute God-send. This party was a large and fairly extravagant event with the added stress of keeping it a secret from my mom, and with Ro's help, it was perfect. She was enthusiastic about our ideas and connected us with the best vendors to make every aspect of the event possible. Ro stayed on top of every deadline and detail, and made the set-up and tear down of the event fluid and easy. She was available for conference calls and meetings on short notice and coordinated all of the meetings with vendors. Ro made sure we had a hands-on role in the planning but also alleviated the stress of handling the details once decisions were made. The party would not have been nearly as beautiful and fun without Ro. It has been a few months since the party and people are still talking about how perfect it was as though it happened a week ago, and that is largely due to Ro's incredible work. If you have any event coming up that you need assistance with, Ro is the best person to work with. I cannot wait to work with her again, and will definitely be hiring her as my wedding planner! read more

I'm going to start by saying that I haven't even had my wedding yet but I am more than confident that it will go smoothly with Ro at the reigns. I wish I could put into words how great she has been. From the beginning she has been fantastic. She started with a lot of communication and has been consistent throughout the experience thus far. I honestly had a hard time giving her any control but I'm glad I did. Especially when I had to postpone my wedding with only 3 weeks before the date due to COVID-19. I was so stressed out and as soon as I let Ro know she handled it. She took the biggest weight off my shoulders and made the process of changing my date so easy. I am so glad we met her. If you're thinking about hiring her, just do it, you won't regret it. read more

For the record I have a type A personality, I'm very organized and detailed oriented so never in a million years did I think I'd need a wedding planner...I'm a project manager for crying out loud! Unfortunately, when it came time to plan our wedding I was working 12+ hour, and commuting three hours every day in LA traffic. I didn't have the time or the mental capacity to plan anything, yet alone a wedding. Finally my sister encouraged me to get a wedding planner, and Vision Into Reality events was one of the top rated event planning companies on Theknot. Rolanda and I hit it off right away during our first phone conversation. Even over the phone I could feel her positive vibes and down to earth personality. I remember telling her she was my spirit person! She was so warm and energetic and made me feel like we could really pull this wedding off! We were such likeminded people, she was organized, detailed oriented and always went over and above the call of duty. My husband and I had a destination wedding in Mexico and that in and of itself is a whole other level of wedding planning. While it was at an all-inclusive resort, the wedding was a la cart so we had to pick EVERYTHING! Which can be the fun part of planning a wedding, but when you don't have time it becomes stressful. Without asking Ro took the list of things I envisioned and researched everything to narrowed down the options for us! So coordinated everything with the resorts wedding department and also with our travel agent. Nothing was ever too big or too small, whatever it was she took it and tackled it like it was the most important thing in the world! What was so crazy is that sometimes she knew what we needed before we did! She put so much time and love into helping us prepare for the wedding that on the wedding day we were all in sync! I remember I was getting my makeup done and I absentmindedly mentioned to my makeup artist that the groomsmen needed the steamer soon. Literally the second I said it, Ro walked right through the door and announced that she was there to pick up the steamer for my groomsmen! Mind blown! Talk about being on it! Ro even went above and beyond on numerous occasions! For example the groomsmen could only rent their suits from men warehouse for a limited number of days or they'd be fined each day it wasn't returned. Since all of them were staying in Mexico a few days before and after the wedding they wouldn't be able to return them in time. Ro volunteered to take all the suites and shoes back with her and return them so no one would get fined! That wasn't her responsibility but she took it upon herself to do it for us and we're so grateful! On the day of the wedding my garter felt funny so I didn't wear it down the aisle, my plan was to sneak it on before the garter toss. Unbeknownst to me all of my belongings in the bridal suite were taken back to my room which was on the other side of the resort. She rushed back to my room to grab it so I wouldn't miss out on such a traditional wedding moment. I absolutely love her for that. She even made personal sacrifices for us. She typically doesn't do events on her children's birthday weekend and she saw how much help I needed and made that sacrifice for us, we can never repay that debt. But we whole-heartedly appreciated her sacrifice. Even weeks after the wedding Ro was still helping us out. She noticed that our photographer hadn't upload all of our pictures, so she emailed them several times to make sure it didn't fall off their radar. We were so blessed to have all of help and support. To this day our guest say that we had the most organized and smoothly run wedding they have ever been to. And it's all thanks to Ro. What was even more heartwarming is that she fit right in with my friends and family. Some of my guest thought she was one of my friends not the wedding planner. That shows how seamless she fits in any situation. Note to Ro: Our wedding day turned out better than expected and we have all the most wonderful memories with our family and friends thanks to your help and outstanding organization and attention to detail. Thank you for keeping us sane and at ease on one of the biggest and important days of our lives! You played an important role by taking care of all the details that allowed us to fully enjoy the day and not worry about a thing. I loved how you were my advisor throughout the wedding planning process and I appreciated having you to consult for guidance and feedback during a stressful time - it was definitely less stressful with your help and expertise! If you are looking for an extremely diligent, organized, and professional wedding planner with a passion for her clients, then I would strongly encourage you to contact Rolanda. read more

First, let me start by saying FIVE stars is not enough to praise Rolanda for the great work she puts into the events she does! If you are in need of a party planner, she is your go to person to hire! She went above and beyond to make our event one we will never forget! From contacting vendors, taking us as clients with a short deadline, and using the best designer, she really outdid herself! She is punctual, has great communication, and truly makes you feel like more than just her client. We appreciated all her recommendations and trusted her with her expertise for the event. Aside with how amazing she is, she goes beyond what's asked of her and even made sure to come the day of the even on her birthday, she really goes the extra mile to make you feel special and your day go exactly how you envision it! Her business name is exactly what it says, she takes your visions and makes them a reality! Thank you Rolanda and we can't wait to have you in the future for many other events! read more

Rolanda, our wedding and sangeet event planner was simply amazing. Prathibha and I connected with Rolanda on our very first call.

I had the joy of working with Rolanda of Vision into Reality Events at a local elementary school family event in Riverside. She had found my services on Thumbtack.

Her communication was direct and thorough. At the event, she was cool, calm and calculated. It was truly a pleasure working with her and helping to make the event a success. She knows her stuff!

I would highly recommend her and please let her do more and trust more hahah She knows what she is doing! That's why my Wedding was stress free! Thank you!! Love you! Mika! read more

Rolanda was literally the best investment for our wedding day. She paid for herself at least TWICE. My husband and I got engaged at the beginning of the pandemic when EVERYTHING was uncertain and she made sure that we signed on with vendors who would be fair if we needed to postpone... which we did. But let me tell you, this lady gave me the wedding of my DREAMS within my budget! She made things work, found my dream venue, got all my visions into the room and found the perfect vendors to fit our vibe. Literally vision into reality. My wedding was absolutely stress free from beginning to the end because of Ro. In our first meeting I told her "these are my ideas, I just want to show up" and Ro took that and executed, but also made sure we had input on decisions that would make our wedding ours. Ro became part of our people the day we hired her, and I am forever thankful to her for making every detail stress free and perfect! read more

Ro has a terrific can-do attitude and made it clear every step of the way that she was here to take care of us. Even though we hired her for just Day Of Coordinator, she was helping us to organize before that day, checking our timeline with us. She was so great the day of the wedding and kept making sure that I (bride) spent time enjoying the day, not trying to do anything else, except be a bride. She was firm (when she had to be) with the vendors but positive and fair. Very cheerful throughout the whole process. Just the right balance of professionalism and friendliness. She helped to make our wedding day as stress free as possible and we love her read more

Technically, we hired Rolanda for day-off coordinating. However, she did above and beyond that title. From day one, Rolanda kept in constant contact with us. She even helped with finding some of the remaining vendors that we needed. I would send over quotes or contracts, and Rolanda immediately responded with her recommendations and additional questions to ask the vendors. I loved that whenever we had a question, Rolanda was a call or text away. She is very knowledgeable about the ENTIRE wedding process. When Rolanda went on our venue walkthrough, she asked questions that we didn't even realize needed to be asked! Having her with us definitely made the process and wedding day such a breeze. She is awesome at what she does, and is highly recommended! read more

Rolanda is very caring and helpful. She truly wants to make the bride happy during your special day. Our wedding went off without any drama. If there was anything that went wrong, I didn't know about. Everything went smoothly and we had a blast. We didn't have to worry about anything during the day. At the end of the night, everything was packed and delivered to the car. Awesome service. read more

I absolutely love Rolanda. She made sure everything was perfect on my special day. There was nothing that I needed or wanted that she didn't get. She even made sure my room was tidy for the night. The Timeline was perfect and she made sure that it flowed just the way I wanted it. She is the best. read more
