We met Monica during a mini session last fall and had such a great experience, we booked her for a full session for family photos this year. Monica is so easy to work with, she's sweet and genuine and takes all of the guess work and stress out of the process. She really is a lifestyle photographer and the shoot was so fun! She had a great location picked out and it didn't feel like work- we were just walking around and talking and she got the kids engaged. To say I was blown away by the photos was an understatement. They turned out amazing and I'm so grateful that we found her. I've had several friends ask for a recommendation after seeing our photos. Can't wait to book her next year!

GINA is amazing. I met her a few years ago because I was in a friends wedding she was taking the…read morephotos for. I knew she was my photographer for my own wedding the second I got engaged. I think I texted her before my own friends and family :). I can not explain how talented she is in enough words. I hate having my pictures taken, and somehow she makes me feel so at ease and like we're all just hanging out. I feel comfortable telling her what I'm insecure about and she's great reminding me to adjust while she's taking pictures. She's also just so much fun to be around; always happy and smiling. Her positive energy is something you need on your wedding day but just in general! I love that she shows you a few pictures on her screen halfway through shooting to make sure the vision is coming together, she also is fabulous at giving you a few pics the very next day for social media :). I'm so happy she was there for us on our wedding day, and we can't recommend her enough to others. We are so excited to use her in the future for our first anniversary, etc.

We hired Gina to do our engagement shoot and wedding and have been so happy with that decision since Day 1.

I cannot wait to see how our wedding pictures turned out. I highly recommend Gina!

My husband and I are so glad that we chose A Savvy Event (ASE) as our planning team, but more…read morespecifically, Kimberly Rosen, as our wedding planner! We initially spoke with several other planners, but after our first call with Kimberly, we knew we wanted her to be the one helping us plan our event this past October in Sonoma. We insisted that Kimberly was our go-to with ASE. ASE has several levels of planning packages depending on what you are looking for. My Husband and I decided to go with the partial planning package and it was the perfect balance for us. We are from the Chicagoland area so having a planner in California where we were getting married was essential. Kimberly is also well-connected in wine country/the wedding industry and has relationships with many of the vendors who ASE has worked with over the years. This is a major perk, since she was able to point us in the direction of some of the best vendors out there! We always felt like we were in the right hands and were provided high quality recommendations by Kimberly. Throughout the past year of planning with Kimberly she was always kind and had such a positive attitude. Aside from being our wedding planner, Kimberly felt like a friend. Not only did we hear from several of our vendors how much they loved working with Kimberly and how organized she was, even several of our friends asked who she was because they noticed how on top of everything she was at the wedding. Everyone tells you how stressful wedding planning can be, especially since our entire planning process was virtual and during covid, but ours was carefree and fun! You also hear "something is going to go wrong the day of" but my husband and I can say that our day was flawless. If something did go wrong, it was nothing made known or visible to either us or any of our guests. When my Husband and I returned to our hotel room at the end of that night, Kimberly and her assistant had already returned all our signs and personal belongings to our room. They laid out my veil on the bed with our welcome sign so beautifully (see pic). Although this was a small gesture, we felt it was so thoughtful to walk back to at the end of what was already the perfect day! One final touch if you will! I have said to my husband on numerous occasions recently that I wish our wedding planning wasn't over and how I want to experience our day all over again and he agrees! Thank you, Kimberly for helping make our wedding one we'll always treasure and never forget! It was more magical than we could have ever envisioned!

Kelly and the ASE team are truly the best you can get when it comes to the wedding planning…read moreindustry. My 14 month engagement turned into 26 months and I cannot imagine having gone through the challenges the pandemic and wild fires presented without Kelly. In addition to her gorgeous work, creativity, and connections in the industry, she is as genuine as can be and truly wants the best for her brides, grooms and their families. Not only does Kelly want to make your wedding planning experience as easy and fun as possible, but she also does an incredible job of getting to know you and making the wedding extremely personal. She got to know my husband and me in addition to our story and overall vision for our special day/weekend. Kelly goes above and beyond. For example, Kelly knew mine and my husband's love for Crumbl cookies and it became a shared love between all of us. She had the great idea to pick up Crumbl catering for our Rehearsal Dinner, which was also my husband's birthday, because she knew how special that would be for us. This is just the smallest example of Kelly's thoughtfulness throughout the whole process. Our wedding planning process presented extreme challenges between having to postpone a full year due to the pandemic and having to find a new venue/caterer/other vendors after our original venue burned down, but Kelly had my back every step of the way. She worked tirelessly to give us the best options while still taking our budget and preferences into consideration. The day would not have been possible without her and we are forever grateful for her dedication, her hard work, and her genuine love for what she does. Three months later, anytime we see our friends and family, they still talk about how perfect and absolutely stunning our wedding day and weekend was. I knew our day would be special but it was beyond anything I could have ever dreamed of. Kelly and the ASE team went above and beyond in creating the most special, beautiful, personalized and intimate wedding for us and I will forever be grateful. I could go on for several more paragraphs, but in conclusion, if you are looking for a wedding planning team, you will be in the best hands with A Savvy Event!

Professionalism Working with Stephanie at Teague Events was…read moreone of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the beginning, she was incredibly timely and responsive--always replying quickly and thoroughly to any question we had. She went above and beyond by joining us for vendor meetings and venue tours, even when her presence wasn't strictly necessary, just to make sure nothing slipped through the cracks. Her extensive network of vendor connections gave us high-quality options that fit both our vision and our budget. Stephanie also shared practical tips on how to keep things budget-friendly, which allowed us to save without ever feeling like we were cutting corners. Her professionalism and commitment made us feel supported and confident every step of the way. Design & Aesthetic Stephanie has very sophisticated and aesthetic taste, and she elevated the vision we had for our wedding day while staying within our budget (which was tight). She personally helped arrange the table decorations so that everything looked cohesive, balanced, and elegant. The overall design reflected us perfectly as a couple, and with her touch, it felt elevated, intentional, and beautiful. Every detail was thoughtful, and she managed to create a stunning look without ever straying from the financial boundaries we set. Execution on the Big Day When it came to the big day, Stephanie's execution was flawless. She anticipated things we didn't even know to think about--for example, our 95-degree heat could have ruined the flowers, but because she ensured each bloom had its own water source, the arrangements stayed fresh through dinner. Our decorations were exactly as my wife envisioned, but even more stunning with the little touches Stephanie added. She set up our welcome table with minimal instruction (literally just a messy sketch and a box of random pictures, flowers, and decor) and turned it into something beautiful. She seamlessly coordinated a surprise serenade I performed for my wife, ensuring it was timed and staged perfectly. Stephanie executed her job extremely efficiently without ever drawing unnecessary attention to herself, working quietly in the background to keep everything moving smoothly. Every detail was handled with calm precision, allowing us to fully relax and enjoy the day. Stephanie made our wedding seamless, stunning, and unforgettable.

She planned…read moremy big sisters wedding about 11 years ago, so within days of my engagement my dad had already booked with Stephanie. Through the entire process Stephanie was amazing. She worked with my husband and I even with us being 2 hours away from her and our wedding being 3 hours away from each of us. Stephanie was able to take my hazy muddled "vibes" of a description and turned it into a beautiful vision. When my dad died and my mom broke nearly ever bone in her body in a car crash just 4 months before the wedding Stephanie became even more valuable, not just as a planner but as a human. I didn't know if I could move forward with the day. She had about 7 different plans in place depending on what I would need, be it pushing things back a year, cutting down the list, or canceling all together. Stephanie took a day that could have been filled with pain and made it stunning. She literally helped me make it down the aisle, and carved out the most beautiful moments to honor my dad all while keeping the day focused on the love my husband and I share. It is not an exaggeration to say I genuinely love Stephanie. She is an incredible planner and a more incredible human. I'm so utterly thankful my memories of this special day all have her smiling in the background, making magic happen.

Review This team is NO. FREAKING. JOKE!!!…read more I had my wedding on May 11th and the day couldn't have gone more perfect, and that's thanks to this team. Jessica & LaShawna are freaking stars! The planning process was seamless. I was so impressed with the attention to detail at the wedding venue walkthrough. We walked the entire venue, bounced ideas off each other for placement of every single item, and built a schematic. They even measured the venue to know exact placement of tables, chairs, etc. Planning the wedding was so easy/smooth thanks to the planning tools and check ins. Our rehearsal was straight to the point and very easy. We didn't need the full two hours allotted by our venue because they were on top of everything! Then came the wedding day. Our bridal salon overlooked the venue, so we were able to see the progress throughout the day. THEY WORK HARD!! and I mean, they pay attention to every single little detail to make sure the place looks beautiful and perfect. It was so impressive, we all couldn't stop talking about it. The wedding day went seamless, on time, and without a single issue. Jessica and LaShawna were there every step of the way, speaking to each other through their own personal headpieces. If anything came up or if I had any questions, they were there and ready to help where needed. My wedding wouldn't have gone as well as it did without them, I promise. I feel so grateful to have had the best team out there!! We also decided to hire the CLE House cleanup crew which was fantastic as well! Janet did a great job and cleaning/tidying up fast and making sure we got back all of our stuff. Thank you so much for being the reason why my wedding day went so perfectly CLE House!!!
