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.

I am surprised to see some low reviews of Joelle, because even though my wedding happened back in…read more2013, whenever I think about my wedding day (and its more than you'd think because my friends keep getting married), I can't imagine how much harder that day would have been without her. We hired Joelle for month of coordination, which was very important because though we live in Texas, we were getting married in Camarillo (where I grew up). Joelle handled everything from working with vendors to the venue and put my mind at ease while I was over 1,000 miles away getting ready to travel out for the wedding. Even when there could have been disaster--we found out the week of our wedding that a nearby field had put up a huge, unsightly water pump (we were married at McCormick Home Ranch)--Joelle came up with an immediate solution for us and even made sure the pump would not be running during the wedding. The day of, I didn't even notice it was there. Joelle went above and beyond to make sure our special day was as amazing as it could be and we can't imagine it without her. I consider her just as much of a key part of our wedding as I do my wedding party, because she really was by my side throughout the whole process.

Especially if you're having a destination…read morewedding- your wedding planning experience will be so much more beautiful and your day will be the most amazing day ever because all you have to worry about are the things that matter to you. For me it was design, guests' experience, and showing up! Joelle was priceless, to be honest. I trusted her entirely with days leading up and our actual DAY. So much I didn't even flinch when my sister's concealer dropped on my dress or when a vendor's delivery was partial complete or when I asked the day before to have hay brought in to cover 3/4 of the dance floor area because I knew, "Joelle will handle it." Our wedding was flooded with vendors (imagine an empty wooden structure and that's it. Not even electricity, a single piece of furniture, or even a kitchen) and everything went so smoothly. As the bride and groom, we remember every detail of our entire wedding. We had such a wonderful time and we got to share so much of it with our guests- not at all ever thinking or worrying about the production part. I would do it all over again and again. She understood my style, taste, and overall vision to help execute or find the right vendors to execute the first day of the best days of our lives. This is my recommendation for Joelle and for future brides to find a wedding planner if you have the opportunity. And this is coming from someone who is an experienced event planner herself. Our wedding location: Dos Pueblos Ranch in Goleta, CA (Santa Barbara)

I can't say enough good things about Michel B Events. In the beginning of the planning process I…read morewas not convinced that I needed a coordinator but now, I realize that EVERY bride should have a planner no matter what size or budget you have so you can enjoy your Big Day. I hired Michel to be my day of coordinator and from the moment I spoke with her on the phone for the first time, we immediately clicked and I knew we would be a great team to put my wedding vision to life. Michel went well above and beyond what I hired her for and exceeded my expectations. I'm extremely organized and thought I had everything covered but she thought of things that I never would have due to her extensive experience in the events industry and meticulous attention to detail. We were in constant contact with phone calls and emails for months leading up to the event. She had everything so well planned that I did not need to worry about a thing leading up to the wedding and on the day of the wedding I was completely stress-free thanks to her and her assistant, which is truly priceless. Michel is one of the best professionals I've ever worked with and I am recommending her to all my closest friends and family! Not only is she a great event planner but also she is a fun and outgoing person to work with whom by the end of the process felt like a friend. I heard from many vendors and guests how much they enjoyed working with her.

There's a good chance Michel actually knows magic. I believe this to be true because it's…read moreunbelievable that just she took care of our wedding plans/design all by herself. I've never had to plan such an important event and I'm glad we gave that opportunity to Michel for these reasons: - GREAT communication. She always stayed on top of details and managed our vendors very well. There were no issues during our wedding (December 2013) - Her confident and practical attitude. Giving up freedom is really a challenge and we trusted her with many tasks we weren't around to review. She showed up to our first meeting and drew out ideas in her mind immediately as if she had already worked with the venue (she hadn't!). The wedding location was remote for both of us, but she still managed to scope out all the events like it was next door. - All her input was constructive. It never felt like we were compromising our vision of a perfect wedding for US and everything she suggested only embellished/refined our ideas. - She recognized it was OUR day. It's easy to get caught up in the mentality of every effort for the sake of entertaining guests. It's sad and frustrating, but Michel assured us that our wedding would a very special day for US and it was!

This review is long overdue! We got married back in October at the Santa Barbara Club (a great and…read moreunderrated venue) and chose Amazing Days Events to plan our wedding and we're so glad we did. Sophie and her team were on top of every detail, which made the process so much less stressful than I expected, and when the day came, we were able to fully enjoy it, which you can't really put a price on! The whole thing was beautiful and went seamlessly, even my family and wedding party agreed! Everything was so organized, and I appreciated their responsiveness and diligence throughout the process. I loved working with them so much, I recommended Sophie to my cousin who is getting married this year and am so exited to attend her wedding because I know it will also be Amazing!

We ended up having rain the week of our wedding and ADE jumped into action to come up with a rain plan and work with our vendors to change design and rentals.

If you are looking for a planner that is organized, a design genius, and well respected by vendors -- HIRE the ADE team!!

Of all the many people who made our wedding come together, Ariel Yve was by far the most…read moreindispensable. Hiring her was our very best decision, and without her help I'm not sure we could have pulled off the wedding at all. Matt B. and I first met Ariel almost a year ago, when we were looking to hire a wedding planner. She was one of three I contacted. I rejected one because of cost and fee structure, another because she couldn't be bothered to answer emails in a timely fashion. Ariel was very nice and professional on phone and via email. We arranged to meet at the Santa Barbara Biltmore (she lives in Ojai but travels between L.A. and Santa Barbara frequently, for obvious reasons), and when we got to the hotel she was waiting outside, dressed to the nines with a clipboard in hand. We had a very informative, productive meeting, and we hired her on the spot. We contracted for a certain number of meetings and hours of communication, but I'm not sure that she kept to those at all. We basically had unlimited access to her time and energy for the better part of a year. She was always available through text or email unless she was, you know, helping other clients (of which she can't possibly have that many at any given time). I'm sure I abused that access - I definitely texted her on a Sunday to ask what color bow tie to buy for Matt. She put us in contact with almost all of our vendors, then coordinated contracts, payment, the whole deal. Matt and I had a very busy 2013, and we were horrible about responding to emails. She took care of almost everything and prodded us gently when we had to do homework only we could do. Over the last year she met with us on four or five occasions, and each session was immensely productive. Since I was busy and distracted much of the year, Ariel took care of most of the details, but in a way that matched our desired aesthetic basically to a tee. We discussed the look and style of the wedding up front and set up a share Pinterest board. She kind of took it from there, emailing us every step of the way to make sure of our approval. She had such a great sense of our taste that it seemed almost intuitive. I ended up signing off on almost everything she suggested. The day of the wedding, she and her team handled everything in a way that made it look almost easy. She was everywhere at once. The wedding was beautiful (if I may say so myself), and she and her team deserve the largest share of the credit. If you want a wedding planner who will work hard to make your day perfect, look no further than Ariel Yve. I'm pretty sure God himself sent her to give His blessing to our wedding.

TLDR: We paid thousands to have our day filled with stress and mismanagement at every turn…read more Specific photos were missed, rings were missing, and ZERO coordination was done. We also hired their florist who was overwhelmed, overpromised and underdelivered and needed extra help. Three Sisters was the most disappointing and frustrating vendor in every sense. Would rate 0 stars if could. Stay away. We were assured on every call, "We just want you to relax and not worry about anything on your big day. We got this." It was surprising to hear at the rehearsal that "We aren't allowed on site until noon." The bride and bridesmaids were arriving at 9am. "The photographer is coming at 11am," we said. "Oh, they're the exception." We asked the event site coordinator who said they could've been there at 9am with us. We hired Three Sisters for the primary purpose of making sure the bride's stepmother did not interfere with any of the activities. This was repeated ad nauseum on every pre-planning call and stressed repeatedly. Within minutes of her arriving (and the groom saying, "That's her.") she had already made it into the bridal suite (where there was no coordinator at any time in the day assisting with all the logistics. When asked the coordinators said, "we are overwhelmed." The rings were not present immediately before the ceremony. The groom noticed last minute. Christina shrugged. She had been told where they were in the morning and forgot. They did not exchange contact information or start a group chat with the venue coordinators when one was asked to call our coordinator and ask where they were. A bridesmaid had to run up on a golf cart to get them. There was never any coordinator around when ANY photos were being taken despite them providing all our photo pairings and shot list as asked. Many photos were missed completely. At post-ceremony photos, family members left the ceremony site. We looked at each other and realized we had coordinators to help. Christina was cleaning between chairs. The groom explained to her to arrange the next group of family members the subsequent set behind them. Like a coordinator should be doing. There was no bouquet for the toss nor a coordinator anywhere to be found. The photographer had to take flowers out of a vase on the table. The flowers were sparse and did not match the pictures of inspiration provided. The bridal bouquet was tiny and had roses despite asking and told that ranunculus was available. The groom asked for sage and was given the eucalyptus he did not want. We said "lush." The sweetheart table to be covered, and you could see our legs and if we dropped food or silverware. The five beams cost $1800 to have a single strand of thin ivy wrapped around them. It looked like a string of Xmas lights. Heather helped her florist sister all day rather than focus on events. At one point they drove by on a golf cart and asked the groom, "Have they found the missing bouquet?" That is something he needs to worry about? During the middle of our dinner walked to our table to ask, "Are you mad at me?" Heather sent some staff off to eat off site bc "I forget who on my team has food allergies" despite us asking specifically being told none. Staff left on our dime. Uber Eats also would've been a better option. They asked the father of the bride for his speech (so he could "relax") and then lost it so we had to track it down. When the bridal processional started, the quartet played for 30 seconds before the gates were opened. Christina kept asking the bride if she was ready and she replied "Yes" three times while Christina just stared back but did not open the gates until the father of the bride had to sternly tell her to. This was the most awful and stressful experience and at no point in the day was anything coordinated. It was just made more complicated. We could've handled all the above had we known it was our responsibility. Instead, we TRUSTED them to take care of everything, and they blew it. It should be noted in response to the above they replied in email that not all of it was their fault. They would send us a follow-up email explaining what was not. That has still not been received but should be no surprise.

My husband and I were deeply disappointed by the communication and service with Jessica that we…read morecould no longer move forward with her. We reached out to her in March 2020 to have her coordinate our wedding and had put down a deposit. Due to the pandemic we immediately had to shift plans and we asked her, the venue and our DJ if they could shift to a 5 year credit which they all agreed to. Anticipating our 5 year, we reached out to her December 7th 2023 to let her know our intentions of planning our 5 year in 2025. We were able to confirm our venue and our DJ at this time so we felt we should reach out to her as well. With no response, I reached out a week and a half later to check in. She said she was available but had increased her prices. We reached back out same day and didn't hear back a week and a half later and checked in. She had an auto-response that she would be out of office until January 9th. Weird since she never followed up with us beforehand. We reached back out on the 9th and she responded saying she got the dates wrong and thought it was 2024 and if she was available in 2025 she would be there but otherwise it would be her staff to take over. "If I do not book a wedding on that date, then I would continue as your day-of coordinator." Basically saying if another wedding of higher value doesn't come up she would serve us. This left a bad taste in our mouths. We responded back the next day, no response. A week later, no response and an auto-message. 2 weeks later and no response until the 26th even though she was actively posting on social media and going out to cocktails on her stories. Her response was that since our event was over a year out, she was spending more time on other large-scale event clients. She then explained that her socials were run by her husband and 14 year old daughter. The only reason I feel that she finally responded was because we told her that if we didn't have some type of response and resolution by 6pm that day that we would share our experience, which she still didn't respond to until 10pm. Her last response was "I'm really sorry you feel that way. I would hope our previous working relationship would have shown my attention to detail and demand for great service for my clients. You unfortunately caught me at a very busy time during, and just after, the holidays." We had no previous working relationship, and if she was referring to our earlier emails that still didn't show her work ethic. Also if she's charging more, wouldn't she have a higher attention to detail now? I can appreciate being busy, but I would never leave my client hanging and put out an auto-responder message without finishing up a conversation with a client. I would at least send a quick personal email saying, I had got theirs and would respond back as soon as possible. Every luxury planner and vendor we reached out to got back to us within 72 hours, which I find odd she could not manage as we had to wait 16 days+ for responses. We really wanted to work with someone who was excited to work with us on our special day but it seemed that from the time we booked her until we reached back out for our anniversary event, that our event did not seem aligned with her luxury business values since her contact form is looking at booking events that are $100K plus. She never apologized other than 'I'm sorry you feel that way'. She didn't even refund our deposit even if it was partial. It was a nightmare trying to get answers from her. She might market herself as luxury, but her service and standard are far from it in our experience. There are far better planners out there and we recommend looking elsewhere.

We found Tiana through an IG ad, where she promoted Exotic Green Garden along with an all-inclusive wedding package at Lake Lindero Golf Course. The Exotic Green Garden IG page looked beautiful, and the package was within our budget, so we decided to reach out to learn more. Upon meeting Tiana, she was super friendly and honest about the costs, what can be personalized, and was patient in answering our many questions. We left the meeting feeling like we made a new friend, but still wanted to explore other options as she was the very first vendor we met in our wedding planning journey. After a week or so of reaching out to other florists, we decided that nobody could beat what Tiana offered, and her lovely personality was a huge plus. It was an easy decision to book Tiana as our florist, coordinator, and the wedding package for our wedding on October 4th, 2025 at Lake Lindero Golf Course. Leading up to our wedding, Tiana was very communicative with us every step of the way. It was so easy to reach her and hear back in a timely manner, whether it was through email, text, or a phone call. She was always ready to address our questions and concerns, and put our mind at ease. She even gave us suggestions on how to save money with our florals, which we truly appreciated. In addition to Tiana, we also worked with Adena (her sister) and Lance (her father and our officiant). We met Lance via FaceTime a few months before so he could learn about us, and he was so kind and funny that we knew he'd do a wonderful job making our ceremony go smoothly. He even had an additional call with us and sent reminder texts to make sure we were aware of what's needed for the day. We met Adena at our wedding rehearsal, where we learned she would be our day of coordinator instead. We were a little surprised since we thought Tiana would do this. But Adena re-assured us that she was familiar with the schedule and during the rehearsal, we were relieved to see how personable she was, and her professionalism matched that of Tiana and Lance, and we knew we were in good hands. On our wedding day, we received so many compliments from our guests on how much they loved the florals. We didn't see Tiana on our wedding day, but definitely felt how much love and care she put into them as they turned out beautiful, like exact replicas of our Pinterest photos. Several of our guests even snuck some away, which we didn't know till the end of the night lol! Our guests also praised Lance on how he conducted our ceremony and made it feel personable to us. Throughout the wedding, Adena constantly checked in on us to make sure we were hydrated, feeling ok, and keeping us informed about the schedule. She even jumped in to help cut a roast pig, which we did not expect her to do as we were expecting a specific guest to do it (who ended up not attending). We loved that Adena was so on top of everything the whole evening, while having a smile the whole time. We still reminisce about our wedding day, and how wonderful it was thanks to Tiana, Adena, and Lance. Even though it's been a few months, our guests still mention how lovely our wedding was, which makes us so happy to know that we chose a fantastic team. We highly recommend Tiana and her family/team for your wedding or special event. Thank you Tiana, Adena, and Lance for making our day feel extra special!!!
