We had an absolutely incredible experience working with White Sage. From our very first meeting with our planner, Jen, we knew we were in the best possible hands. Her calm, grounded energy, professionalism, and thoughtful organization immediately put us at ease. Throughout the planning process, Jen was consistently responsive, thorough, and proactive. The regular check-ins helped us feel prepared at every stage, and we always ended our calls feeling reassured, excited, and more confident about the journey ahead. As the wedding weekend approached, we were blown away by how seamlessly everything came together. Jen, Brooke, and Megan were an absolute dream team. They took care of every detail--from large vendor coordination and rental setup to the smallest personal touches that made the weekend feel uniquely ours. We were especially impressed when unexpected weather forced a last-minute dinner location change. The White Sage team handled it flawlessly, and the transition was so smooth that our guests had no idea it hadn't been part of the original plan. Jen's attention to detail, calm presence, and ability to stay composed under pressure truly set her apart. We not only felt supported by her expertise but genuinely enjoyed every conversation we had with her. We'll actually miss our planning calls--she made the process feel collaborative, grounded, and even fun. Thanks to White Sage, we were able to fully relax and be present the entire weekend, knowing that everything was being expertly handled. So many of our guests told us it was the best wedding they'd ever attended--and we agree! We cannot recommend White Sage highly enough. If you're looking for a team that will not only bring your vision to life but make the experience enjoyable and stress-free, this is it. read more

Brooke, Arden and the entire White Sage team were INCREDIBLE while we planned and then re-planned our wedding twice throughout the pandemic. Brooke was so responsive, knowledgeable, kind and worked so hard to help our vision come to life. Our big day was so magical, due in large part to Brooke and her team's hard work. Wish we could do it all over again! Hailey & Brian, Millwick, Nov. 14, 2021 read more

Brooke and the White Sage team were a pleasure to work with and made all of our wedding wishes come true this past summer.

She never batted an eyelash and always made us feel re-assured and comfortable. Thank you Brooke and Team! read more

After choosing our photographer, Burgundy Blue, Brooke from White Sage stepped up and offered to help us plan our elopement. My husband (!!) and I eloped to Santa Barbara and wanted to do some sort of bohemian getaway, including vows in a yurt, a picnic with beer and chocolates, and enough macrame to get tangled in. Brooke was very patient with all correspondent and accepted all inspiration pics (I had quite a few and not all seemed cohesive!). With her artistic eye, she created mock-ups for us and we offered some feedback but were immediately impressed by how well she put to life our inspiration board. The day of, when my husband and I entered the ceremony space, we felt like we were entering a fairytale that was written just for us. During our photos, Brooke relit candles for us and placed them in aesthetically pleasing ways. She offered laughs and her involvement and kindness helped us feel at ease throughout the photoshoot (which could potentially be kind of awkward with people we've only just met!). I recommend Brooke whole-heartedly. She creates works of art for her clients to fall into as main characters. We are so thankful for her guidance and expertise. read more

We could not have imagined having a more perfect day than our wedding day, and that is a huge thanks to Brooke and the rest of the White Sage team! Having had to navigate the ups and downs through Covid, our experience throughout the entire process was effortless, communicative and thorough. Never once did we feel that we didn't know what was happening or when something needed to happen in the planning process. If I could recommend one suggestion for anyone planning a wedding, it's to hire a skilled wedding planner like Brooke! It was the best money we spent, and we loved working with her and will miss her vibrant smile! read more

When my wife and I were beginning to plan our wedding, it seemed pretty overwhelming and we didn't know where to start! First there was finding the wedding venue, then there was planning the catering, it just felt like we were going to be missing stuff. So, one day when Chelsea was googling her heart out, she came across the White Sage Wedding website! She messaged Brooke and on the same day, heard back and got a meetup scheduled. After meeting Brooke at Noso Vita in Ojai, Chelsea and I knew she was the one! Brooke made it clear that she would go above and beyond for her clients because she truly loves and cares about what she does. One of my favorite parts about the White Sage Wedding process is the AislePlanner app. As a software engineer, this had me right in the center of my comfort zone. There was a checklist section, a place to host a wedding website, and event guest and budget management tools. Everything we needed to get done from a planning perspective was all in one place and We also loved the meet ups with Brooke where she answered any questions we had and pointed us in the right direction. That, combined with the wealth of vendors she works with made it easy to plan a wedding that was in our budget and exactly what we wanted. Brooke and her team operate with such professionalism and passion for what they do, it's hard to not like the decisions they make. They always guided us from their experience, but they never forced a decision. Wedding details were up to us, but they would point out things that had worked well in the past. It was so important to us to have a simple, fun, and positive experience and it was easy to do that with their help. After feeling so overwhelmed with the planning details for the wedding, it was truly refreshing and relaxing to work with a team that made us feel like they had things covered. That way, on the day of our wedding, all we had to do was sit back and enjoy the ride. We could NOT have been as present and happy during our day if not for them. We didn't have to worry about a thing. Brooke was able to get to know us and our love and our goals for the wedding and the things that meant everything to us from the big things to the tiny little details we wanted. She was able to make it all happen with us and she understood the importance of our love story and made our dreamy wedding come true. Without a doubt in our minds, we would recommend White Sage Wedding to anyone planning their wedding. Whether you're overwhelmed with all the details, or you have everything planned in your mind, it's worth every penny. Brooke and her team (shout out to Peter Dunn, our photographer) will enable you to have the day you've dreamed of and so much more. We feel that we've made a lifelong connection to her as friends, and it takes a truly special person to do that. read more

Three cheers for White Sage. We were initially against the idea of hiring a wedding planner because we wanted to save the money and felt we could do it ourselves. Man, were we wrong! Friends talked us into getting one and we settled on White Sage after meeting with Brooke for a very in-depth session that reviewed all their services. We worked directly with Denise who was diligent, hard working and constantly proactive about all the stuff that needed to be done - so much of which we had no idea about. She also kicked off by immediately getting us a discount with our rental company. Other discounts would soon follow. Denise's services proved integral to the entire planning process and especially the wedding day itself - especially considering she was local to Ojai (our wedding location) and we were not. She had great recommendations as a result that we were able to incorporate into our wedding to provide local flavor and expertise. On the day of, she showed up early and worked tireless in the hot sun ensuring that everything ran flawlessly - which it did. We placed a lot of trust in White Sage to pull this off and couldn't be happier about our decision to do so. We highly recommend them for your upcoming special event. read more

The ladies of White Sage were amazing! I was a Covid bride and had to reschedule my wedding twice and they were so unbelievably helpful and supportive through it all. Jen was so AMAZING on the day of the wedding. I literally did not worry about one thing because I knew she was so on it. White Sage helped to make my wedding day truly the best day of my life! read more

My husband and I got married June 28, 2019 at the Topa Mountain Winery in Ojai, California. With a background in events, I planned on handling the entire wedding myself, but our venue required a day of coordinator. While we hadn't originally budgeted for a planner, we are so happy we used White Sage! After numerous conversations with overpriced planners, we began to get really nervous that a planner wouldn't fit in our budget. Luckily, I received Brooke's name from our florist, Ojai Blooms. They mentioned they worked with her often and that she and her team were "incredible". From the moment we spoke with Brooke, we knew she was the perfect fit for our big day. She was professional, yet relaxed, extremely knowledgeable and from the start, very helpful with all of our questions. We hired her as our 30-day coordinator after our first conference call, but after it was all said and done, our only regret is not hiring her to help with the whole planning process. She's THAT GOOD! We loved that Brooke and her team were available and willing to help at any time. You can tell she and her team know what they are doing and Brooke always made us feel comfortable with our planning decisions. My husband and I loved that Brooke was direct, yet kind and enthusiastic. She always had our best interest at heart and genuinely cared that we had the "best day ever" which we definitely did! Overall, our experience with White Sage was fantastic. On our wedding day, we both kept commenting on how Brooke and her team were always a step ahead. If anything came up, which is bound to happen, one of her team members was on it immediately. We were able to sit back and enjoy our day completely! I would highly recommend White Sage to any couple getting married especially if they want to have an amazing and stress-free wedding day! read more

Brooke and the White Sage Wedding crew helped us plan our perfect day within about 6 months. She was extremely patient with my family and flexible. If anything was needed she was there to assist and once we were in the home stretch, she made sure every little detail was taken care of. Our day was beautiful, romantic, and so special and I definitely thank Brooke for making sure everything ran soo smoothly. Bonus: She has wizard fingers when it comes to helping with complicated dress designs. lol read more

I had high hopes for working with White Sage given their commitment to "intentional wedding planning," which sounds ideal. However, I found them to be unhelpful even in answering basic questions along the way. The response was usually something along the lines of "anything goes," which is true obviously, but I look to her for guidance on what would turn out nice. The biggest problem for me was that she was rude and defensive on multiple occasions and made me feel second rate for not being "a full paying client." Lastly, she did not give back my deposit even though I was forced to postpone due to Covid-19, and she is already booked for the whole month of May 2021, the only other month that works with our schedule to book the wedding. True--I cannot speak to how the actual month-of would have been, but my interactions thus far have been so disappointing that I feel this review is warranted. read more

Brooke from White Sage did a wonderful job at our wedding. She was very thorough with every detail, bugged us to make sure we're making good progress, and followed through every last thing. Hiring a wedding planner is now my #1 advice I give to engaged friends and would definitely recommend Brooke in a heartbeat. read more

Brooke is the next level wedding planner. I am in the floral business and have had the pleasure of working with her often. When my business partner and I find out White Sage Events is our bride and groom's planner we know our job will be a little easier and that every detail of the wedding will be gorgeous. read more

Planning a wedding is stressful! Having a professional to help navigate through all the details and keep you accountable makes all the difference. The father of the bride did extensive research and found White Sage to be highly recommended. After meeting Brooke, we knew we had found the right wedding planner for us. The bride, while very organized, tends to get stressed easily and become overwhelmed. White Sage helped take away some of that stress and make everything manageable. Although there were many tasks to complete, White Sage helped us focus on the big picture and continually reminded us that the whole point of this process is to marry your best friend. We liked that White Sage used a website called Aisle Planner, that allowed us to see our tasks broken down into manageable deadlines and check them off as we completed our tasks. The website also sent email reminders when a deadline was approaching. In addition, we had many face to face meetings which were especially helpful for things like creating the invitations, doing venue walk throughs, and meeting other vendors. Brooke especially was encouraging and supportive during this stressful time. Having a wedding planner was invaluable to us. Especially on the day of the wedding, we didn't have to worry about anything. Brooke was there telling us where we needed to be and keeping everything on track. After all of the face to face visits, we knew we could count on Brooke to handle everything and we didn't have to stress about getting all the details the way we wanted. We would absolutely recommend White Sage Wedding! The staff is friendly and personable. Through this process, Brooke became a friend not just our wedding planner. We are happy that we decided to work with a wedding planner, and White Sage is the best you'll find! : read more

Working with White Sage weddings and events was absolutely amazing! My then fiance, now hubby and I were looking for a day of coordinator for our wedding day, to be celebrated in Ojai, CA. Brooke was referred to us by a common acquaintance, I gave her a call and immediately felt comfortable. We later set up an appointment to meet at our venue to see if we made a good fit for one another. She was bright, so smiley, confident and really engaged in our vision for our special day. She gave us options to meet our budget and created a "no pressure " environment for us in our decision making. We decided to go with Brooke because of her love and passion in celebrating others. We felt confident and safe that she would help keep us on track on our wedding day but also that she would bring a sense of joy. Brooke is both directive and kind, playful and organized! The perfect combo for us! Brooke and her team made our dream wedding come true and truly with so much ease. The day of, I felt care free and totally trusting that everything was as it was meant to be. Brooke also surprised us with a special gift at the end of our wedding day. She and her team decorated our "newly weds RV" with candles and rose petals! They for sure set the love tone after our exciting day of celebration. Brooke with White Sage events is incredible. I absolutely recommend her and her team for any event planning and coordination. If you have come across her website, it is with no coincidence! Your search for the perfect planner is over haha. Much love to you for taking the time to read our deep gratitude and appreciations for white sage events. They are the best! THANK YOU BROOKE!!! :) Nicole & Joseph read more

We had our hearts set on getting married in Ojai, but we had been struggling to find a venue there that suited our budget and our sensibilities. We came across White Sage while browsing Instagram and we loved that they were local to Ojai and also seemed to have a beautiful aesthetic. When we met Brooke over drinks we immediately loved her. It was like reuniting with an old friend. She was so kind and open and easy to talk to and made us both feel like the things we wanted were completely attainable. She helped us find our dream venue with her local Ojai connections. We had been searching for a place for over two years and Brooke helped us find a place within weeks. Brooke and her team at White Sage went above and beyond what they were contracted to do. Over the course of six months, Brooke kept us on task and always made us feel like we could reach out to her about anything no matter how small or insignificant. They made us feel like there was no task too big and they made the entire process feel easy and fun. There were so many small details and touches that we would not have even thought about that made our wedding the most perfect, magical day. Everything ran like a well oiled machine and she took so much stress out of the weekend for us. From the software they used with us to coordinate all the various facets of the wedding planning to acting as our go between for every question our guests had leading up to the wedding, they instilled in us so much confidence that our wedding would be as meaningful as we'd hoped, and it turned out to be the greatest experience of our lives. We could not recommend White Sage more. They were the perfect company to plan our wedding and have now become lifelong friends. read more

My daughter-in-law chose Brooke Baker (White Sage) as her wedding planner. I assisted my daughter-in-law with the planning, so I had the pleasure of working with Brooke. She was always professional and very helpful. She kept us on task, worked on every detail, and was always willing to go the extra mile. The day of the wedding was exactly what my daughter-in-law envisioned thanks to Brooke! She took care of everything, so we were able to enjoy not just the wedding, but the whole weekend. I would highly recommend White Sage to anyone who wants their dream wedding to become a reality! read more

We wanted an intimate wedding, small... family and close friends, but we wanted an outdoor wedding with an amazing view. We asked Brooke to show us a few places and she brought us to Meditation Mount in Ojai. It was beautiful with breathtaking views and gardens. She took us down to the overlook and walked us through how it would look and what her vision for the ceremony would look like and then we knew. We decided to let her handle all of the details of the wedding, the reception; the cake; the videographer. Brooke was so attentive to our needs and was quick to deal with any concerns. Brooke took care of all the little details that allowed the two of us to relax and enjoy our special day. We are so grateful for the amazing job that she did in making sure everything went off as planned. Our wedding was unforgettable because of the great job she did. She will not disappoint. read more

Brooke and her team were amazing from start to finish. From their initial consultation, I could immediately tell that White Sage was focused on every single detail -- they weren't going to let anything slip through the cracks, which was very important to me. Her response time on email/text was almost immediate, making me feel at ease that every thing was going to be taken care of. Brooke is also very well versed in the wedding industry and knows what it takes to plan a heck of a party. What more could you want?! If you're looking for a great lady team based out of Ojai for your central coast wedding needs - hire White Sage now! read more

Our search for a "day of" which really is "month of" wedding planner commenced after we had the broad outlines of our celebration in place. We interviewed a handful of planners and White Sage came into focus for a variety of reasons: approachability, thoroughness, responsiveness, organization and Brooke's engaging personality. We are a pretty organized bunch and have experience in event planning, however White Sage brought incredible value to us, especially the bride, in staying on track and bringing up items that were not high on the radar. The electronic tools that were shared helped enormously in keeping everyone focused and unified in our efforts. Meetings with Brooke provided important touchpoints as we moved closer to the event. Brooke was always available to answer questions and address concerns and a great referral source for vendors as needed. When the pedal hit the metal on "day of" Brooke went above and beyond in every way! She was onsite hours earlier than expected and took charge of all the details. Other than myself and the bride no one had command of every aspect of our event other than Brooke and she was absolutely amazing in every way. She orchestrated our event with energy, confidence and most importantly love and passion for her work. She immersed herself and her staff in attending to every detail in a calm and focused manner. This allowed us to focus on the day and enjoy - which was invaluable to us. More than anything it is the passion Brooke and her team bring to their work which separates them from the pack. Many planners are by the book and it can be limiting in such a personal situation. White Sage brings genuine and authentic desire to help their clients achieve and fully enjoy this momentous occasion! They accomplished this in spades for us and we would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding planner who will deliver exceptionally for them! We are forever indebted for what they extended to us! read more

Brooke is a mastermind! So sweet, supportive, and reassuring while ALWAYS on top of her game. No one-size fits-all package, everything was totally tailored to our needs. Amazing knowledge of the Ojai area, but I can only imagine she'd kill it wherever you are getting married. read more

Words cannot express our gratitude for White Sage Wedding & Events. With our first call from Brooke B we felt at ease. Our wedding was everything we ever wanted it to be and more! She respected all of my DIY ideas and added her special designer eye to my ideas. Every DIY detail I had planned was effortlessly executed from our guest board to signature and our DIY photo booth. White Sage provided support in all the right ways. They helped keep us on track, ensured every box was checked and detail touched. They were understanding supportive and I don't know what I would have done without them. The day of our wedding Brooke B arrived early and prepared a beautiful breakfast spread for the bridal party. Her attention to and anticipation of my, our mothers and my ladies needs was impeccable. Even though it rained on our wedding day, she had a full alternate rainy day timeline/plan and was quick to pull this into place, and it turned out perfect! She communicated seamlessly with our vendors and the venue. Our wedding was truly a dream come true. We are quite confident when we say that if you book White Sage for your wedding or any special event, you will not be disappointed! read more
