Wow. What can I say about Elise? My goal for content creation for my wedding was to have the vibe…read morecaptured. To basically be able to relive snippets. But I'm a doctor. And ill-equipped to think of cool reels to make. After 14 years of practice, I had many patients who were excited for my wedding. And so hiring someone to make some content seemed to meet many needs! Capture the vibe and share with those who could not attend. Elise and I met a few times over the course of the almost year of planning. She was pleasant, understanding when I missed a Google meeting, and very thorough. She is happy to come up with ideas and also coach you in moments. Simultaneously, she's able to seamlessly blend into the surroundings...so you're just having fun, and she's capturing it. I asked Elise to do a lot of funny stuff... like film me on my horse in a dress between my rehearsal and rehearsal dinner...? Or capture all the fun details in ways that memorialize them forever. I will NEVER regret for a moment hiring Elise. Especially when, like, 2 days after the wedding, she delivered over 200 gigs of videos and photos and even a few reels. And then the reels kept coming. Anyway.. SHE is a vibe. Her eye is meticulous. She is fun. And will be one of the best decisions you make.

We are so grateful for this team! Allie and Becca were such a joy to have on our wedding…read moreday--professional, kind, and a wonderful presence from start to finish. They worked seamlessly with our other vendors, offered thoughtful suggestions for things I never would have thought of, and made the whole process feel effortless. The shots they captured are truly priceless--so many small, candid moments we would have otherwise missed. I was curious about what having a content creator would be like, but it turned out to be one of the best decisions we made. Elise made excellent recommendations (clearly from her experience) on how to run the day, which made everything smoother and more enjoyable. One of our biggest goals was to have our loved ones be fully present, while also knowing everyone would want to capture the moment--and this team helped us strike that balance perfectly. As crazy as the day was, having them there meant fewer guests had their phones out, which made the celebration feel more connected and authentic. On top of that, the edited videos Elise provided were perfect and let us relive all the happiness of the day over and over again. Their work gave us memories we'll truly cherish forever. Overall, we cannot recommend this team enough to anyone on the fence--it was one of the best choices we made for our wedding.

I attended a beautiful garden party for a 20th anniversary. My husband and I were talking about…read moreplanning our 30th anniversary but we realized it would be too overwhelming for us. When would we have the time? Especially between work, children and so many other responsibilities as parents. We decided to ask the event planner for this beautiful garden party to do our anniversary and it was the best decision we ever made! She worked with us for ten months on what theme we wanted, the decor, the dessert table, on every detail to be sure we loved it. She gave great suggestions for caterers, dj and bakers. She designed beautiful backdrops. We only became stressed the day of the event because we were nervous. She even tried to keep us calm. And she was successful at it. She is not only artistic, and professional but also has a calm, loving demeanor. She handled everything and did a WONDERFUL and absolutely beautiful decor for our 30th. It'll be a wonderful memory forever. Thank you Touch of Imagination for making our 30th a very special day!!!

I told her all the things I wanted to do and she said okay we got this. I wanted a organic balloon garland but didn't know the first thing about making one so Nakia taught herself how to do it and it came out amazing. She also asked me if I was doing a head table and I told her no but I really was I just forgot that that table should be pretty as well. On the day of party she showed up at the venue and was in shock because I had a head table. What did she do? She went to Joann fabric got fabric, she had my husband go to Home Depot to get PVC PIPING and we had a backdrop for our table. Not only did she do that she was there to help set up. She is amazing and dedicated. Thank you

I was a client of Amiee's over the past year, up until our wedding on September 20th, 2024. It's…read moredifficult to pick where to begin in writing a review for her, but I will start with that hiring Amiee was the best decision I made. When I hired Amiee in October 2023, I had only booked our venue, HMUA, and photographer. I was having a very difficult time finding a caterer. My husband and I were on a fairly tight budget. We were gifted money from both sides of our families for our wedding but would be covering a significant portion ourselves. I received a few quotes from caterers that were simply not feasible for our budget. Even ones my friends had recommended from pre covid and through 2021 had drastically increased their prices since then, and it seemed some had altogether gone out of business. At that point, I hired Amiee as I realized I needed a professional to help navigate this critical element of the wedding. We ended up hiring Amiee's catering team for our wedding, and they were our saving grace. Prior to the wedding, Amiee and her team set up a beautiful tasting for my husband and I, that felt like a romantic date night in itself. At the wedding, the food was fantastic, with my cousin exclaiming at one point during dinner "This food isn't just good for a wedding , it's GOOD GOOD!" It's been a few weeks since our wedding and my husband's boss was still talking about the food at work last week, same with my mom. I personally do not believe you will find any caterer in the Sonoma or Napa area that will provide the elevated dining experience and quality of cuisine for the affordable rate we had, and we are so grateful for that. Beyond the food, I deeply valued Amiee's breadth of wedding experience, spanning decades. A planner like Amiee has seen it all, and there is nothing she can't anticipate. She went above and beyond, helping me with some DIY tasks I simply could not complete myself due to the fact that I live 500 miles away from Sonoma. She stepped up and ensured that the day of my wedding I was not burdened with any set up tasks, and could just focus on sipping mimosas and enjoying my morning with my loved ones. Amiee also became a confidant and friend over the course of our year working together. She listened to my rants, provided wisdom, and shared many laughs. Ultimately, our wedding was everything we wanted it to be because of Amiee. We are forever grateful for the role she played during this chapter of our lives. If you hire Amiee, she will exceed your expectations. She is not only a professional, but deep down a romantic who loves love & her clients love stories. She will do whatever it takes to honor yours and ensure your wedding is everything you dreamed it would be. Thank you Amiee, we are so grateful. Cassidy and Ty

I'd like to write an update. Amiee D'Maris has been in contact with me over the last few months and…read morestarted paying me back the money owed. I understand COVID presented her (along with many others in the industry) really challenging times. I don't want your entire judgement of her to be based off of my review and I do think she could be a good caterer. As I mentioned above, she has reached out, is in communication with us, has started paying me back, and I'm very optimistic all will be well in the future. I wish her and her business the best of luck. Thanks, Megan

She really goes out of her way to cater to you and what you want- and also helps you if you aren't sure what it is you do want (lol). She provided her trailer bar as well as a more mobile bar- both decorated to fit our wedding vibe. We went with the signature cocktails and mocktail, which everyone raved about! (Seriously, the cucumber spritz mocktail was to die for!). BoozyBootz also provided the hydration station with spa water and lemonade, as well as other nonalcoholic beverages. They can truly personalize the menu to whatever you'd like! I could keep rambling on and on about how much we enjoyed her and how much we she added to our wedding! Definitely a highlight of the wedding!

Her professionalism, experience, talent, patience, and friendly demeanor is truly a rare find, especially in photographers. We were so happy with all of our pictures! Her pictures capture a unique attention to detail with an elegant essence. We were also delighted to find that she highlighted/colored/certain photos that we would have never thought to do-and they turned out AMAZING!! Not only is Nanci a superb photographer, she is very responsive (via email/phone) and easy to talk to. She even was even willing to meet with us two days before the wedding (during June wedding season/Napa fires) for some last minute details/changes. At this time, due to the Napa fires, she was in the process of boxing up her house and awaiting evacuation instructions-and she still met with us! That shows true dedication!! We knew that finding the right photographer was important, and now realize how important it was after the event is over. Our pictures will be what we have to show our friends, family, and future children. Will cherish these memories forever! We, without a doubt, would highly recommend Nanci to anybody needing photography services! Sincerely, Sarah and Ryan Irwin

She does offer a list of vendors, but if you are seeking more customized event planning, you will have to do a little more research on your own. Her florist, Michelle is great and her baker, Ora-Beth is terrific, but her tuxedo recommendation was sub-par. We selected our own photographer, videographer, make-up professionals and hairstylists.

You and your partner are planning the most important day of your lives. It can quickly feel…read moreoverwhelming. Where do you start? Are your Google searches leading you to the best answers? Who can you rely on for help? We experienced all of these thoughts and feelings when we started to plan our own wedding. To add to our complexity, it was a destination wedding on the other side of the country. We knew we had to hire a wedding planner and there was no shortage of options in the Napa and Sonoma valley. We had a few calls with different planners, yet the minute we hung up the phone with Sharon Burns of Napa Valley Custom Events, we knew it was a done deal. We called her back within minutes and basically proposed to her to be our planner! It was a decision that felt so right; it proved to be the best decision of our entire wedding planning process. Sharon's experience, expertise and outstanding reviews all speak for themselves. She knows the business. She knows all the right people. She is well respected in the California wine region. She demands excellence from all those she works with. She has the ability to know when to fully support your wants and desires, while also adding in a dose of reality to your wedding dreams. As a gay couple, one may think we posses a level of expertise on design, flowers and fashion. Sharon quickly found out this was far from reality. She filled in all of the spots where we were "weak" and supported or molded all the thoughts and wants we had in areas that were our non-negotiables. She helped us build, manage and stick to our budget throughout the 13 months we worked together leading to our wedding day. She maintained our vendor contracts, worked hard in negotiating hotel wedding blocks and even managed most payments throughout the whole process. So many of the stresses and mundane tasks of wedding planning and execution weren't even on our radar as Sharon took care of them all. We were already floored by all of her work done leading up to our wedding; then THE DAY came. Sharon delivered even more then we could have imagined! She was at our venue for well over 13 hours preparing, organizing, leading and even calming us throughout the event. We worried about nothing and got to enjoy everything. She ensured our whole wedding party was in place when they needed to be, our families were calm and relaxed, and, of course, that we were both smiling and enjoying every aspect of our day. Sharon even made sure that we were eating and staying hydrated throughout the most memorable day of our lives. The day was simply perfect! So much of that joy has to do with Sharon Burns and Napa Valley Custom Events. We cannot speak highly enough about her; words do not do justice to the thanks she deserves. Thank you Sharon, you knocked it out of the park!
