Thomas Lewis, ladies & gentlemen! I feel like he needs no introduction and the biggest introduction at the same time. Back in 2019, we were looking for a wedding planner, but not just any wedding planner. For one, I'm a project manager, so I was fairly confident in my abilities to manage this epic project, but needed someone to help me with the unknowns along the way & bring my vision to life on the big day. I remember sifting through dozens of Google search results trying to find someone who fit the bill, and I was frustrated that most planners seemed unauthentic, overpriced, and so 'not us'. Then I stumbled on Thomas and he was the opposite in the best way. I could tell he knew weddings intimately, he was passionate about event planning, and his pricing was actually listed on his website. One quick call to seal the deal & we knew he was our guy! Throughout the process, Thomas guided us on the best and most efficient way to do things. He shared what has & hasn't worked at past weddings, made sure we were getting through all the fundamental contracts at the right times, and checked in on us when we felt like our to-do lists were never going to end. On the day of, he rocked our world! He was everywhere at once, solving small challenges with a smile and delighting guests with every interaction. The whole experience was even better than we could have ever imagined, and you know we imagined it a lot! I cannot say enough amazing things about Thomas! We actually hired him twice since COVID happened and we had to postpone our original wedding, and we were so thankful to have someone helping us navigate those unknowns too. You should definitely hire Thomas Lewis if you are looking for the full wedding planner package - calm, communicative, courteous, and supppppppper cute! read more

My husband and I booked Thomas for our May wedding more than 1 year in advance after we met with him for a consultation. I'm so happy to say that we can look back at our wedding and just remember how thankful we are that we did so. A little info about me... I am an OCD perfectionist type of person, and when it came to planning our wedding- I would be stressed out about every little detail and our wedding timeline (the limited amount of hours we contracted with our venue was from 6 to 11 PM- we were worried that it was too short!). However, after meeting with Thomas and exchanging e-mails throughout the engagement, he eased the stress and definitely was there when we needed him. Thomas is professional, experienced, reliable, easy to reach, detail-oriented, organized, and just an awesome wedding coordinator. Thomas was there during important meetings/appointments. We went over details during our menu tasting with our venue and I remember my husband (fiancé at the time) mentioning how much he appreciated Thomas because he asked our venue questions that we did not even think of. We met again with Thomas about a month before the big day, and he helped us organize final details and our final timeline. Thomas gave us his advice and his opinions when we needed it. Thomas was at our rehearsal day on time and ran our rehearsal SO smoothly (mind you, I had a huge Filipino wedding; for the ceremony we had: 6 pairs of godparents, 2 grandparents, 2 ushers, 1 dog, 3 flowergirls, 2 ringbearers, 9 bridesmaids, 9 groomsmen, our parents, plus the groom and I. I don't know if that was his first ginormous bridal party, but if it was- oh my goodness, I don't know how he did it!) On the wedding day, Thomas and his assistant Olivia stopped by the Bridal Suite when I was getting my make-up done, said his hello's, and was off to do what he does best. I trusted them with everything and was NOT stressed out AT ALL on our wedding day! He would check up on my husband and I a few times throughout the evening to make sure we were at ease with everything, and we were... ALL BECAUSE OF HIM! Our friends and family even mentioned to us that Thomas is not only funny/friendly, but that he definitely knew what he was doing. Our wedding ran on schedule/time like we planned so! My husband and I were just so happy that everything ran smoothly and that our wedding turned out so beautiful. We are just pleased that everyone had a great time! DO NOT HESITATE TO BOOK THOMAS! You will have no regrets! Thomas, THANK YOU (x1000000000) so much for taking charge, dealing with our OCD-ness, and for coordinating our dream wedding. It was everything we wished for and more... we wish we could relive our wedding day all over again! Best, Monico & Phyllis Reyes *Photography: Philip Tran Website: philiptran.com Facebook: Philip Tran Photography Instagram: @_philiptran read more

Thomas is the absolute best! He helped me plan my engagement proposal in 2016 and also helped plan our wedding in April 2018. He has been there for me for some of the most important events of my life and I am forever grateful for his guidance and expertise. In hindsight, I totally underestimated the level of detail that goes into marriage proposal and I am ecstatic that Thomas was able to guide me through every step of the process. He was so knowledgeable and was so detail-oriented I couldn't imagine that day without him. As for my wedding in 2018. Picking Thomas was incredibly easy. During this time, I moved out of state and at first, we were unsure if we wanted to travel to San Diego or have our wedding in Seattle. I am so happy we decided to have our wedding in San Diego and that Thomas helped plan our wedding. He was always available to my wife and I and made it such a easy process. He was able to recommend vendors that we absolutely adore and did a great job focusing on the details so that my wife and I could enjoy our wedding day. He did such a great job that one of my good friends hired him as a full service wedding planner. After Thomas has been there for my wife and I during some of the best times of our lives, I trust him with my life and I love his taste. What are you waiting for? Book this man! read more

Thomas Lewis is nothing but professional. He went above and beyond for me and my now husband. He took all the curve balls that a wedding typically has with grace and poise. And mine had plenty. Including a last minute photo booth, candy bar, and an amazing but unexperienced photographer. Thomas was able to give her guidance as well as help get me some photos the day of the wedding from his phone because I could wait to post something (of course). During the wedding there were little things that I had no idea that were happening and he took care of it all. Including fixing my broken bustle and keeping my drink filled! And at the end of the night Thomas had In-N-Out and cake waiting in our wedding suite! Thomas I LOVE YOU. I not only think you're the best planner but now I consider you an amazing friend. read more

Weddings By Thomas Lewis - Wedding Planning Near Me

The best advice I got after I got engaged was to hire a wedding coordinator! My friends said that it was worth it to pay someone else to sweat the small stuff on your wedding day! The first time we met Thomas, we knew he would be perfect! Thomas is AMAZING! I was very stressed before and during the wedding and he was ways there to calm me down! Before the wedding he met with us and helped get everything in order. He is fast, efficient, and on top of everything! He even grabbed decor from me the day before the wedding so that I wouldn't have to worry about dropping it off the day of the wedding! He was there for every question I had, no matter how small. On the day of our wedding, we had no idea that our DJ was going to be such a nightmare to work with! He handled her perfectly and also ensured great communication with all the other vendors! Also, I never went empty handed and he always was there to hand me a drink when I was empty handed or looked stressed! :) At the end of the night, he helped my wife grab and load all the leftover alcohol and decor. He drove to and from our hotel to help her drop it off as well! At the end of the wedding, we were sad to end our working relationship! He is amazing and you really will feel like your BFF is helping you coordinate the wedding. Hire Thomas, trust me! It's the best wedding decision you'll make!!!! read more

We booked Thomas for our month-of-coordinator and absolutely loooooved every second with him. He was a recommendation from a friend and I couldn't have asked for a better person to help on such a big day! Thomas is very thorough and professional but you can also feel totally comfortable around him. The month before the wedding, I turned over my workbook to him and he took over the coordination with our vendors. I never had to deal with any timeline issues or problems with set-up or clean-up. We discussed our "must-have" items and he made sure that was a priority. He even brought up some brilliant decor ideas that I probably wouldn't have even considered. He had a specific timeline for our rehearsal the night before which made herding cats a breeze. Everyone was really comfortable knowing what would be happening the next day. My wedding day couldn't have been better! There were little hiccups here and there throughout the day (there always are) but one thing I greatly appreciated about Thomas was his approach to handling them. If it was something that needed my attention, he would address it with me, tell me what he was doing to take care of it and when it will be done. If it was something that he could handle on his own, I was none the wiser of any issues. I never felt stressed about it anything in respects to the ceremony and reception. All of our friends and family commented on how attentive Thomas was throughout the night and would just handle shit. He also has an adorable dog named Baxter and is an accomplished kickball player....need I say more? I wish I could have Thomas coordinate my life! read more

I just recently had my wedding at the Japanese Friendship Garden and Thomas was recommended by them. It was literally the best decision about the wedding. I hired him for the month of service and I honestly couldn't have pulled it off without him. All of my family live out of state so I was basically on my own. Thomas was very attentive and prompt to respond to all my emails. He worked with all the vendors to make sure it was the best day of my life. I really couldn't have asked for better. My only regret is that I did not hire him for the full service entire coordination as I was on my own. The month of service actually worked fine. He is also just a genuinely nice person. I am sad it's over, lol. read more

The #1 thing you want to do on your wedding day is relax, enjoy, absorb the love, and be worry-free...Thomas will provide that to you AND MORE. I can look back on my wedding day and say it was the most PERFECT day thanks to Thomas. I had a long engagement and even from the start (2 years ago!) Thomas was there with me every step of the way. He helped with venue choice, catering choice, florals, linens, dessert, timeline, ceremony - literally EVERY detail!! He even came up with the idea for our wedding favors! He reached out to me often, checking in to make sure I was feeling ok, and the week of the wedding called me a handful of times to check in and make sure I was feeling good. Thomas is: -Reliable -Quick to respond -Creative -Personable -A leader -Able to take charge -Connected!! (Huge when looking for a planner!!) If I had a vague idea or a question he was able to help me narrow down my idea and connect me with the best vendor that matched my vision. -Organized -Dedicated -THE BEST! If you're looking for someone who will help you every step of the way and will allow you to enjoy your day as you should, Thomas is your man. read more

Thomas was our day-of coordinator for our 0717/2015 wedding at the Martin Johnson House in La Jolla. We had a ton of DIY and personal elements, and knew we wanted someone who would be able to implement all of our ideas without having to rely on friends and family that day. Thomas delivered all of this and more for us, and was a true pleasure to work with! We initially met with Thomas months ago, and we felt that he was a great match for us personally. He told us he would be more a month-of coordinator, which he absolutely lived up to. Creating and sending out our timeline to vendors, running our rehearsal the day before, doing a walk-through with our caterer at the venue, giving us suggestions on details...the list goes on! Thomas came and picked up our decor the week before from our house (a huge relief in the midst of wedding week craziness as we had a lot of out-of-town guests). Day of, he set up everything flawlessly. When I arrived, he said the only element he seemed to have missed was the pens for our guestbook - which I then realized was completely on me, as I forgot to pack them! He of course improvised by finding some writing utensils somewhere or other! We truly had boxes upon boxes of decor, homemade desserts, handmade flower arrangements, etc., and he did such an amazing job of setting everything up as we asked, and in many cases where we didn't specify how it should be laid out, he used his creativity to make it look amazing. During the wedding, he always made sure we were where we needed to be, had a full drink, and were enjoying ourselves. We are so thankful to have booked him, and as other reviewers have said, he is worth so much more than his going rate! Our wedding went off without a hitch, and we owe it in large part to Thomas. Thank you!! read more

I met Thomas last year, continuously at several vendor mixers, and bridal shows. As a floral designer, Thomas has been a blessing to work with. I am very happy to be able to work closely with such a creative and passionate soul. Thomas.. really does go above and beyond to exceed the higher expectations for weddings and events. I would give Thomas all the stars in the sky just to show everyone how great of a person, and a coordinator he is. Love you Thomas! read more

Thomas is the best! He was our wedding planner and coordinator for our wedding October 20th. He was amazing. He went above and beyond for me and my now wife and if we got married again we would use him again. I recommend him to anyone who is thinking about getting a wedding planner. He was top tier! read more

From the bride: We first saw Thomas working a wedding as we toured a venue we were considering for our wedding. My first impression was what a hard worker he was. While we got his card because many venues required a day of coordinator, I thought I could handle everything else on my own and a coordinator would be a back-up for day-of if we had to hire one. The planning stress began as a couple of months passed, and we happened to see Thomas a second time while we were walking at Balboa Park. He was so hard at work he didn't even notice us standing there. His work ethic spoke for itself, and I knew I needed help at this point so we called him and I met with him the following week. I don't even know where to start in describing the best decision we made in hiring Thomas to be my partner in planning our wedding. From day 1 on our "wedding team", Thomas was there to answer any questions I had, give me feedback on any ideas I was thinking of, help me choose the best vendors, take me to supply stores to pick up creative decor pieces, and support me in staying on track with timelines (we planned our wedding in 6 months). My dog died one month before the wedding and I was a mess. I remember meeting with a vendor and I couldn't even focus and Thomas was so supportive at the meeting, jumping in and asking all the important questions and taking notes for me to review when I had a clearer mind. The week before the event, Thomas was nothing short of exceptional. He helped coordinate picking up supplies for me and he even hand painted some candles. He coordinated the entire rehearsal and picked up everything that we would need to set up for our wedding day, including cocktail ingredients for his signature fantastic lemonade drink he prepared for our outdoor reception. I wish I had known how smoothly the day was going to go because I wouldn't have been so stressed out. Much of that is because of Thomas though. I was never exposed to anything that didn't go perfect, and when something did go wrong, he jumped in and fixed it immediately. My husband's car was at the ceremony and we had no way to get his car to the reception so Thomas had his assistant drive it to the reception. He did the same at the end of the night- driving it up to our home which was not too far from the reception as well so we could enjoy our after party. My throw bouquet never showed up but that was no big deal to Thomas. Within minutes he had taken flowers from our huge sweetheart table arrangement and made a perfect throw bouquet. He was also amazing at checking in throughout the day and night to make sure we were okay. These details are just a few examples of why our friends and family were so impressed by him, but no one was more impressed than us. By the end of the night, I was genuinely sad that I wouldn't be working with Thomas anymore. Thankfully, we have stayed in touch and I consider him a dear friend now. I would recommend Thomas to any bride looking for support before or even just during her wedding and tell you that to say he goes above and beyond is an understatement. I can't imagine how much more stressful our day would have been without him and my memories of our wedding day are stress-free and beautiful. Having Thomas support us made all the difference. From the groom: If you're debating the services of a coordinator and who to hire, Thomas (AKA T-Lew) does spectacular work. Just the amount of de-stressing he bought my fiancée was worth it. What a nice guy. Very professional and a great heart. read more

Underpriced! Underrated!! Unbelievable!!! Thomas was worth double what he charges for his incredible, full-service wedding coordination. Even though it's considered week-of/month-of service, he is really there as a mentor throughout the entire planning process. He constantly updates the details of the wedding day and as he puts it "strives to know as much about your wedding as you do." -- Which he does. When it comes to the question of coordination, the old line "they'll call all your vendors and make sure they know where to be and when" just doesn't describe the level of service, nor the peace of mind that comes from someone like Thomas. He is your ambassador for every vendor and will foresee and solve problems, make suggestions from his vast wedding experience, pair you with great vendors, and do so much of the physical work the week of the wedding that you wouldn't believe how inexpensive he is. Think about these things: -Who is going to get your alcohol to the wedding if you're bringing your own? -Who is going to bring all your decor to the wedding? -Who is going to run your rehearsal if you don't want to pay your officiant to do so? Officiant's aren't really needed for a rehearsal anyway. Who is going to: -make sure programs get passed out? -chairs/tables/decor are lined up correctly? -guests go where they are supposed to go? -all your tips get in the right hands? -all your gifts (and envelopes) are safely cared for? -changes are made on the fly if anything doesn't go according to plan. can you imagine a wedding where something doesn't go exactly to plan? shocking right?? Can you assign people to do all these tasks? Sure it's possible, and I'm sure your father/mother/uncles/aunts/best friends really want to be in charge of loading gifts in an SUV, lugging alcohol to a wedding an hour early, tracking down vendors they've never met to give them cash, getting dressed an hour ahead of schedule so they can spend time decorating a wedding venue with no blueprint and without your oversight. As you can see, if you didn't already know, your wedding day will go insanely fast, and the people you'd normally trust to help probably really don't know much about your big day because they haven't been working with you for the past 6+ months to make a blueprint and know exactly how you want everything to go. But Thomas Lewis has... and by the time your magical day rolls around, he will know exactly what you want, and he'll be honestly thrilled to make it go exactly that way. My wife and I could NOT have been happier with the incredible service he provided us. And this is coming 2 months after our wedding so this isn't based on the wedding high that we got from such a perfect day (made so by Thomas Lewis) :) read more

Better than I could have ever expected! He saved my wedding! The worst thing possible happened, our venue cancelled on us 10 days before our 200 person wedding. Even after signing a contract 2 years before with them. I guess they were getting sued. I couldn't believe it. However, I am so thankful that I hired Thomas because he dreamed up a whole new plan for our wedding at a new location. He met with my mom and I at the new venue the day after the cancellation. He was always available for us and answered even the smallest questions. I don't know how he pulled it off with such short notice but, our wedding was absolutely perfect! During the wedding we had a few minor annoyances, which was expected, but he always made it seem like everything was under control. Our wedding party was 16 ppl and 3 children, Thomas did a great job taking charge and letting them know what to do during the ceremony during our rehearsal, in a super nice and polite way. Thomas is a PRO! He knows weddings inside and out. You can trust that he has your best interest at all times! He'll listen to what you want and not take over. He helps with all the little details too. He also has really good recommendations for vendors. We used the catering company he also works for, ENCORE, which was super delicious and even carved a pig for us that we bought elsewhere. They cut our cake and cleaned up after us too. He also recommended our Florist Anna, which made our wedding so beautiful. I honestly believe that if I didn't have Thomas by my side after the venue cancelled, I could have had a disastrous wedding. Instead, I had the best wedding EVER!!!! :) read more

We booked Thomas as our "day-of coordinator" for our wedding in March, and we can safely say that this was by far the best vendor decision we made. Not only do you get the excellent services from Thomas, but you also get access to his great recommendations for other vendors. My (now) wife and I were extremely busy with work leading up to the wedding, and we started to get a bit flustered with all the last minute items to take care of. Thomas kept us calm and organized, and he really helped us in the weeks leading up to the big day. Our wedding turned out excellent, and Thomas was a huge factor in that. Thank you again, Thomas! read more

We got married on September 21, 2013 and hired Thomas to be our day of wedding coordinator. We could not of been happier with our decision. Thomas was extremely organized, he was friendly and outgoing, and he definitely helped us figure out all the details to make our wedding perfect. On the day-of our wedding, he went above and beyond to make everything run smoothly. From getting there early to setup the tables, to staying late to clean-up our bridal suite, Thomas was more than just a normal coordinator. Thomas doesn't treat his responsibilities lightly, he truly cared about our special day. We would definitely recommend Thomas to anyone getting married. He was great to work with and is someone we would hope to stay in contact with for many years to come. read more

Thomas is one part wedding planner, one part therapist, and one part Mcguyver! I could not recommend him more highly. Thomas was very detailed, very timely, and efficient, while still personable, friendly, and just an all around amazing guy. We met him by chance at a bridal bazaar while choosing a caterer and never even shopped around for another coordinator. He always struck the perfect balance between consulting and letting us have our vision. Leading up to the wedding I was very stressed - I was in the process of defending my dissertation and my fiance was working 60+ hour weeks. Thomas was a pro - kept me on track, listened to my stressful vents, and made great suggestions. One of the things I loved about Thomas is that in addition to his organizational skills, he has a keen eye for design. Thomas has a great ability to take a vision, understand it, and take it a step further. He knew exactly what I was going for and I must admit, I pilfered some of his ideas. I did not want a cookie cutter wedding, and Thomas is great for that. He helped me keep the DIY in check, too! He knows brides, and he knows weddings. The day of the wedding, Thomas took care of everything - I barely knew there were hiccups (though I later learned that he fixed our arch with some twine and dinner knives!! McGuyver, I tell you.) He kept all of my other vendors to our timeline with grace and a smile. Guests would tell me how wonderful he was and I completely agree. Seriously, if you want a professional but approachable wedding coordinator, Thomas is the guy to go with. Worth every penny and more. I'd get married again just to have him as my coordinator again. read more

Coming from a bride who probably needed a planner less than anyone out there, GET A PLANNER! Even though I had an inclusive venue and a relaxed outlook on the details, having Thomas there throughout was indispensable. He would have done more for us had we let him and I have two stories worth telling. First, we were looking at venues and I find myself disinterested in the one we were touring. Boop! I get a text message from Thomas, who is right besides me. He says, "You're not into this place, are you?" I respond saying that's true. He got us out of there in less than 10 minutes and then immediately got our next appointment moved up. My now husband and I loved how efficient and quick he was about everything. During the whole process as well as the wedding it was so comforting to know Thomas was there to take care of anything that might come up so we could just relax and enjoy ourselves. The second story is that throughout the reception he stayed super available and ready to do anything we needed. Seemingly to his disappointment, we kept letting him know that we were awesome and didn't need anything. Well 2 minutes after that I was visiting a few people at their table and he appeared with my wine glass, which I then realized I really wanted at the moment. Turns out I did need something and Thomas knew just what that was when I didn't. How did he know! We also found out that our family all somehow got his email address and Thomas was very sure not to let them plan anything he didn't think we would enjoy, thank goodness. Anyhow, I highly recommend Thomas as a wedding planner. He did everything we needed and more. Our wedding went off without a hitch and it was in very large part thanks to him! read more

WISH I could give Thomas 10 stars!!! Thomas was amazing!! From day 1 he was professional, organized and super creative! We trusted him with our lives and our wedding. He works for an amazing catering company Encore and was able to really help us get exactly what we wanted for the price we wanted. He went above beyond beyond on all aspects of our wedding to make sure our vision was complete. Even running to the liquor store to buy more booze when we ran out early!! Seriously this guy is a super hero and he's pretty darn cute too! Such a pleasure to work with, we could not have been happier!! STOP LOOKING AND JUST BOOK HIM!!! read more

I would give 10 stars if that were an option, that's just how good he is. Hands down the BEST wedding planner you will ever have. Thomas goes above and beyond to make every aspect of your special day PERFECT. You can tell he has a passion for what he does, as it is evident in his performance. He is a skilled professional, with a great attitude, and customizes to meet the expectations of each couple. I promise you will be blown away by his work and your wedding will truly be the best, and most beautiful day of your life! read more

We hired Thomas for our day of coordinator and couldn't be more pleased that we did! Thomas was an absolute pleasure to work with. From planning to the day of our wedding, he helped us with every detail. His suggestions and recommendations were always spot on to what we were looking for and envisioning. He communicated very effectively with our other vendors and built a timeline to fit everyone's needs. We really enjoyed working with Thomas and will be recommending him to anybody looking for day of coordination services. Thanks again Thomas! read more

Thomas is truly brilliant at what he does! He made our wedding planning process smooth and enjoyable and on the day of the wedding I knew I could relax and enjoy the festivities because he had literally every detail under control. I was blown away by his hard work and ability to kindly direct vendors and the flow of the wedding. I have some experience dealing with other wedding coordinators for weddings in which I was a bridesmaid and I can say that without a doubt Thomas is the best I've ever seen. It's his talent combined with his hard work, amazing kindness, and personality that will make your day flawless and steal your heart in the process. Five stars, all the way! read more

I have worked with Thomas on many occassion's. He is a constant professional. He is extremely detailed. He will bend over backwards to meet every need. He has an answer for every concern and will become your friend in the process. His unique eye for decor and color is amazing and he also has so many cool and creative idea's to make your wedding special and memorable. I highly recommend him for your event or wedding! read more

I cannot say enough great things about Thomas Lewis! He stepped in a month before our wedding! Our previous coordinator had to cancel and Thomas came to save the day! He was so warm and kind from the very first meeting up until the exit from the wedding. He put us at ease and did everything he promised and more. He even made a personal stop to my house to pick up items for the wedding!!!!! His assistant was a doll, as well. On the night of the wedding we felt like we had a new friend and during the honeymoon we kept talking about how different the night would have gone without him. I cannot imagine that day without him there. I STRONGLY recommend Thomas Lewis for wedding planning. He is somebody that truly cares about a couples special night!!! read more

I got married on February 9, 2013 and working with Thomas was fabulous. He understood what I wanted and my budget; he found perfect vendors from the florist to the party rentals. Thomas is creative, resourceful, and a hard worker. On the day of the wedding he oversaw that everything went smoothly and jumped and helped when needed. You will enjoy working with Thomas, he is a class act. read more

I am disappointed to be the first person to write a poor review for Thomas Lewis. My fiance and I found Thomas on Yelp, and we were eager to use him as our day-of wedding coordinator. His prices were reasonable and he seemed like a great fit when we talked on the phone. We agreed to meet at a coffee shop, and Thomas was a half hour late, he claimed traffic was awful. After we met, Thomas still seemed like a great wedding coordinator. Thomas said that he would email me paperwork to confirm. I never received paperwork, and after texting and emailing him, he still has not gotten back to me. My fiance and I are now back to square one in finding a coordinator. I am throughly frustrated, it sounds like many people have had great experiences working with Thomas. read more

Thomas is as good as it gets. I met Thomas this year while working at a wedding he put together. Everything was gorgeous, and I liked his personality....attentive and on top of every detail, but calm, collected, and super friendly. We changed our plans and had only a month to re-plan our wedding so I called Thomas right away. Having already seen his work I was worried about how much he might charge but was relieved when I found out he was very affordable....little did I know that not only was he affordable but the value we got for our money is above and beyond what I could have ever expected from someone I hired. Working with Thomas is like having your best friend plan your wedding! He referred me to Anna at Classic Blooms Studio, who was on it right away and created EXACTLY what I pictured and within our budget. Like Thomas, she was also so great and just like a friend to me....she did her job impeccably but always made time to talk, laugh, or have a cocktail. Thomas' great relationship with San Diego Linens completed our vision. He calmed me through planning and all the way through our event, attended to my every need throughout the day, and allowed us to really enjoy our day with no worries! He followed up after to make sure we had all our after event details in order and came by our house the next day to check in with us and personally drop off our signed marriage license. Here is the BEST part: Thomas found out that we would incur extra expense to have our canopy and chairs delivered in the morning before our Saturday, daytime wedding. He asked that they be the last delivery of the evening on Friday instead, and then he AND Anna slept in sleeping bags on the beach beneath the canopy ALL night to guard everything! Just another small detail of the so very many that blew me away....Thomas is an amazing person, a consummate professional, and not only is he great at what he does in terms of creativity and attention to detail, but he truly puts love into each and every event. I wish I could give him more stars and I cannot recommend him highly enough. read more

Thomas was my coordinator for my 10/6/12 wedding. he was absolutely amazing! for course all weddings have a few mishaps, but thomas handled everything so incredibly gracefully and professionally! what was even more amazing, is AFTER the wedding, thomas kept in touch with me to make sure I had help taking care of after wedding responsibilities. I would highly recommend him to anyone for wedding and event planning! read more

Thomas was the absolute best wedding coordinator! My husband and I are thrilled he was our wedding coordinator-he was highly recommended by our wedding venue, the Japanese Friendship Garden, and we totally understand why! He was professional but also funny and warm-the perfect fit! His prices were also extremely reasonable based on all the effort, time, and energy he spent both leading up to, and on our wedding day. I was able to relax and have fun on the wedding day, knowing Thomas would have everything taken care of-he was everything we were hoping for in a coordinator and more! read more

I found Thomas on Yelp and immediately felt at ease at the first consultation. He genuinely cares and advocates for you during a very stressful and expensive time. He was not available to coordinate the day of our wedding so we were in the hands of his wonderful lead coordinator Candace. He also introduced me to my make up artist, DJ and florist all of whom were excellent and hard working. On top of all that his rates are very reasonable!!! I would not hesitate to refer Thomas to family and/ or friends. read more

Thomas was a bad ass. If you've seen Sex and the City and remember Charlotte needing help planning her wedding but she was too shy to tell people what she wanted so she hired Anthony...a million times over Thomas was my Anthony. He was the voice I needed to get what I wanted for my wedding. He agreed to be my day-of-coordinator about a month before the wedding and started assisting me from that moment until the day after my wedding (picking up excess alcohol and decor). He was on schedule (the bridal party was not), he was friendly, he was assertive (but never in a rude way), he was personable. He was exactly what I needed that day. Let me tell you, anything that I had sole control of went wrong, anything Thomas touched that day went beautifully. He was one of my best decisions I've made while planning my wedding. I would have been in the fetal position crying all ngiht had it not been for him. We had a very rowdy party and he was very forgiving and willing to work with some crazy people. I would hire again in a heartbeat. Thank you a million times over for being there with a drink when you saw me on the brink during the reception. It's details and his awareness of the crowd and bride and groom especially that gives him that 5/5! read more

Thomas is the best!! He is completely worth every penny as he is the most efficient, enthusiastic, exuberant person I've ever met. He was our day-of-coordinator for our wedding at ZLAC rowing club in Pacific Beach on 7/23/16. We had an absolutely amazing day and it was all thanks to Thomas. He made sure all of our vendors were running smoothly and on time. He even went on a last minute wine run when we were running low on supplies. He was so calm through the entire day and having him run the show was a big relief. I had several guests rave about his efforts and ask for his contact information for upcoming events. We highly recommend Thomas for all of your event needs! read more

I had Month of service, so Thomas helped me with rentals and layout of our reception, and also day of services. He was amazing. He went through the rehearsal with us, and on the day of the wedding he became the go to person for all of our vendors. He took a lot of stress off of me as well as my family. It's easy to see the pride he takes in his work, our reception looked amazing, and we had family members ask us "who is that guy that's running around everywhere?" because they could see he was working hard and doing a great job. He impressed everyone. I had a lot of things that I had purchased for decorations, and I had a candy bar that I purchased all of the candy and dishes for, so Thomas had a lot to set up in the limited amount of time that our venue allowed. There wasn't anything left undone, everything looked perfect, you would have thought he spent the whole day working on the room when he only had a couple of hours. Thomas went above and beyond when he found time to take our gifts to our room for us so we wouldn't have to worry about that. I have no idea when he even did that, because he was always around when I needed him, he is magic! Thomas was the first coordinator I met with, and after meeting with him I cancelled all of the appointments I had made with other coordinators, I knew he would do an amazing job and I was right, and I would highly recommend him to anyone! read more

One of our close friends got married in San Diego last year and he highly recommended Thomas. Our initial meeting with Thomas went so well that we knew wanted to hire him. He was very easy to talk to and we could bounce ideas of what we had in mind for our wedding day. He was also very responsive to our emails throughout the process. Our reception was at the Coronado Community Center and he provided many suggestions regarding table layout, seating arrangements and small details to add a special touch to our event. Thomas is very organized and he reached out to all our vendors before the wedding so they can contact him with any questions. The reception went smoothly and all we had to worry about was having a great time and enjoy having our friends and family together. We highly recommend him to handle all the details, payments, logistics, questions and any potential things that can go wrong so you can enjoy your special day. He and his assistant Deej will take care of you and ensure your wedding goes off without a hitch. read more

Thomas Lewis is 100% AMAZING! He was our day-of coordinator for our wedding at the Coronado Community Center on 6/24/2016. I couldn't agree more with all of the previous writers of his 5 star reviews. Thomas deserves 10 stars. He is exceptional at his job and is way underpriced, especially because he actually acts more like of a month-of coordinator. He was very professional, prompt, reliable, friendly, and knowledgeable about vendors and venues in the San Diego area. I was planning my wedding from Northern California, so it was a huge help to be able to e-mail Thomas with questions regarding San Diego vendors and he was always helpful and quick to respond. He also has outstanding multi-tasking skills as everything at my 200 person wedding ran incredibly smooth and I received dozens of compliments. It's obvious that Thomas works well with people even under stressful or unpredictable conditions. It was a huge relief for him to be in charge of all the small details so I didn't have to stress about anything, especially regarding set-up, clean-up, or coordinating anything with vendors (e.g., officiant, DJ, band, caterer, florist, rentals, venue coordinator, etc.) on our big day. We are over the moon happy with how our wedding day turned out and we owe a huge majority of that success to Thomas. Thank you so much, Thomas, for everything! My husband and I highly recommend Thomas Lewis. read more
