We booked Teyanna in 2022 for our August 2024 wedding and did not regret it one bit. It was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Teyanna was beyond accommodating and informative throughout the entire process. Her precise, creative, and professional "client-first" mentality shone through. From countless Zoom calls to meeting up in person to select flowers, it was more than we could have asked for and were expecting. Her professionalism and creativity showed through when we had to improvise our outdoor ceremony to an indoor one thanks to a horrific tropical storm. She called us on the morning of our wedding to ensure we were doing okay and went over every detail with both my husband and me to make sure she and her team didn't miss anything. We cannot wait to work with Teyanna again in the future.

From the moment we embarked on the planning journey, Dana's warm and delightful personality instantly put us at ease. Her unwavering commitment to excellence and meticulous attention to detail transformed what could have been a daunting process into a manageable and relatively stress-free affair. What truly sets Dana apart is her unparalleled expertise and extensive network of vendor connections.

From managing unexpected challenges with grace and efficiency to ensuring that both sets of parents could fully immerse themselves in the celebration free from tasks or responsibilities. Both our Mom’s had planned our siblings weddings and what a gift for them to be able to relax, be present, and truly enjoy the wedding. I have countless fond memories of Dana and her team going above and beyond to make our wedding day truly unforgettable. From tackling last-minute emergencies with poise and professionalism to seamlessly coordinating every aspect of the event, Dana's commitment to excellence was apparent in every interaction.

Brittany at Heriloom Design & Company is unmatched. She organized, understands the vision, has brilliant advice, logistical skills and a complete understanding of the wedding scene. But even more importantly, she is so fun to do business with. Not only did we trust her full heartedly, she also made us feel like true friends. The phone calls and in-person meetings we had were full of laughs and were genuinely a great time — it completely enhanced the whole wedding process. I was afraid we were throwing challenges her way with our big, nontraditional ideas (we wanted to do a mural, to bring in an installation, and more), but she matched our energy and made our dreams even bigger and better. She is your calm in the storm of wedding planning and an absolute light! She is smart, creative, incredibly organized, and efficient. She took care of EVERYTHING the day of the wedding so we could fully enjoy ourselves. We TRULY could not have done our wedding day without her. She is the absolute best.

She’s an outstanding wedding planner, visionary, and person. We LOVE her!!

My passion for events started while planning my own wedding 12 years ago. Freshly engaged and full of excitement, I was captivated by every little detail. Soon after I had family and friends asking me for help with their events, and that is when I fell in love with planning & event design. I began working for an event planning company in 2018 and built my expert knowledge and vendor relationships through years of experience with the ups and downs of the wedding industry. In 2023, I decided it was time to start my own company and dove headfirst into perfecting my planning process and building Christa Nicole Events.

Genevieve was the wedding planner of our dreams! It’s one thing to concept a vision in your mind or explain it to someone, but it’s another to see that vision executed beyond what you knew was possible.

Dina's Deluxe Events is a wedding planner based in Los Gatos, California. We provide event planning and event coordination as well as decor and event hosting assistance. Professional Planner and Decorator Dina personally plans, designs, and coordinates your wedding according to your vision.

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Dina to be our wedding planner and it was the single best decision we made for our wedding. We called a few different vendors and Dina immediately stood out because she was the only one who was willing to actually give us a true consultation to ensure we were on the same page with what we wanted. She also didn't require us to pay her any money up front. In fact, she didn't request any money from us until maybe a month or two in? And even then, it was a minimal deposit. Point is, her vibe is that of someone who understands the stress of wedding planning for the bride and groom so she makes you feel like she wants to earn your trust and do everything right before she asks for your business. Leading up to the wedding, friends and family would ask us if we were stressed or ask us how the wedding planning was going. Our answer would always be, "you know what... we don't have anything to do lol." And that was the truth. Dina made the entire process come together so seamlessly for us, during a pandemic no less, when so many vendors were backed up. When we saw the venue in it's final form for the first time, our jaws dropped. Even to this day we love recalling comments from guests on how beautiful the venue was. During the actual wedding, she stayed the WHOLE night for us and even brought an assistant. Leading up to the wedding we were not expecting that! She helped to orchestrate the whole night between guest seating and working with restaurant staff. Simply put, Dina's communication was on point. Her work ethic blew us away. The way she found and discussed vendors with us made us completely trust her with the process of pulling our vision together. Her fees were criminal to the point we had to tip her almost 500 more just so we didn't feel like we were robbing her of her time and effort. We've already jumped at the opportunity to recommend her to friends/family that are embarking on their wedding planning journeys. I don't write many reviews, but had to for Dina. She will always have a special place in our memories and lives because she played such a huge role on our special day.

Isabel and TYR were simply the best! We may have been communicating on email, pinterest boards, instagram reels, and text - all at once! And yet somehow it was always cohesive, nothing was ever missed! Isabel has a sound aesthetic for South Asian Weddings, and she understood our unique needs for the pre-wedding Mehendi and Haldi events, and the rituals and traditions for our big day! Communicating with all the vendors, the suggestions for apps, and making our design vision come alive! TYR was part of the family by the end of our wedding week, even our dog would agree!!

Now, I can’t wait to be part of YOUR most important days 🤍 We take care of your small details so you can enjoy your big day!

We worked with Lisa as our coordinator for our reception and we couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out.

We are so happy to have worked with InGobo Events for our 12.12.24 wedding!! It feels like just yesterday we had our initial Zoom meeting with Christina, the main planner leading up to the wedding!! We were referred to her by my husband’s friend who also booked In Gobo as their wedding coordinator and had nothing but great things to say about her and the team! We couldn’t agree more! Christina was so easy to work and communicate with and really took the time to understand my vision and incorporated anything we wanted into the wedding timeline. I really appreciated how detail-oriented she was and how she made me think of things I didn’t even think of myself! She really made everything leading up to the wedding seamless and once she sent the absolute “final timeline,” I couldn’t help but to feel so appreciative and grateful for her hard work and I just knew our wedding day was in great hands! Wedding day finally arrives and we were able to meet the rest of Christina’s team!! Christina, Leanna, Katie, & Heather - seriously the best girl team ever!!! THEY ARE ALL SO NICE, FRIENDLY, AND JUST SO EASY TO TALK TO!! And their hard work in talking with vendors and setting up that reception venue - THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!! I love meeting new friends from wedding planning!! My husband & I honestly had the best wedding day and we owe a big chunk of it to this team! And to top it off, I was sent a photo album the next day where the whole team uploaded pictures they took from the wedding day/night!! I often look at that album when I’m missing our wedding day!! Thank you again & again to Christina & her team! DO NOT HESITATE TO BOOK INGOBO, THEY WILL LITERALLY MAKE YOUR WEDDING DREAMS COME TO LIFE!!

Let me start by saying my wedding was a tall order! I wanted a wedding that was gothic, elegant, Victorian-inspired, dark, and moody. We were going for gothic without it being “scare grandma” gothic! And to make it a step harder, our wedding was in a very modern looking building in Manhattan. And to make it even one step harder, my husband and I are based in Ireland. Lauren completely understood my vision and designed the most beautiful wedding I have ever seen. We had so many friends and family approach us about how beautiful the decor was, and even multiple members of staff and various vendors saying they have never seen the venue look so amazing. Her attention to detail is beyond phenomenal and everything is done with such thoughtfulness and due diligence. Lauren was so organised throughout the entire wedding planning process. She helped us look for the best vendors, she went to view different tablecloth landscapes and furniture when we couldn’t (again, we live abroad!) and kept me up to date every step of the way without bombarding us so we could continue to regulate life outside of wedding planning. I have recommended Lauren multiple times to newly engaged friends, and will continue to recommend City and Terrace in the future! You truly cannot get a better wedding planner who listens to the couples’ wants and needs, understands, and most importantly keeps you calm and organised through the chaotic planning process! Her attention to detail is phenomenal. I highly recommend.

Michele was our full wedding planner. Our wedding went perfect without a single hitch and it was all thanks to Michele. We had the caterer for our rehearsal dinner drop out one week before the event and Michele found us a replacement within an hour; and the replacement caterer was a slam dunk. Everyone loved the food. On the day of the wedding and rehearsal dinner Michele and Dan did everything. And I mean everything. She set up tables, positioned flowers and welcome signs and seating charts. She ironed over disagreements with vendors and never once did we have to lift a finger. It is a common saying that the bride and groom never enjoy their own wedding but we thoroughly had a blast at ours thanks to Michele. She is forever our go-to recommendation to all our friends getting married. If she has availability to plan your wedding, book her.

Ali is literally the best wedding coordinator a couple could ask to have. From the moment we first spoke with her, she made us feel comfortable and confident that we would have a smooth wedding planning experience and stress free wedding day. Although the stress is inevitable, Ali lifted a ton of weight off of our shoulders the entire last month leading up to our wedding and the wedding day was more beautiful than we could’ve imagined. Our only regret was not choosing full service planning with Ali and only going with month-of! We can't imagine the process going smoothly without Ali and her team and highly recommend her to all of our friends and family. She helped us more than we could have ever hoped – from always being available to give us advice on any decisions we had to make, big or small, to making sure we truly were able to enjoy and not worry about anything but being present on our wedding day. There are so many behind-the-scene logistical challenges that we did not even notice until we thought about it after the wedding and realized were handled by her team. We were able to trust her 100% in any stylistic choices because we know she has a good eye for aesthetics and making our vision come to life. She took the time and effort to learn what we as a couple uniquely like, and made sure that everything was perfect on the wedding day. Ali’s experience and advice are what makes her planning invaluable, even the smallest things you might not think about can make such a big difference on how the day pans out. We genuinely don’t think our wedding would have been possible without her and her expert team!

We envision a world where every couple embarks on a magical and stress-free wedding journey, meticulously guided by a team of caring and experienced experts. Our goal is to ensure that each moment is filled with joy and enchantment, creating unforgettable memories for a lifetime. 💞💍

I was truly in awe of how my event turned out. Donna of DBC Eventz INC. did an amazing job bringing the vision to life. Donna went above and beyond finding intricate items that went with the theme and thought outside the box with the decorations. The entire space was decorated beautifully from top to bottom. Donna understood the assignment and took it to the next level. Donna included me and kept me up to date on where she was with the status of my party. Donna even assisted me with finding the right person to make a cake, DJ the event and take pictures and videos at the event. I was able to have an entrance area, seat all my guest comfortably, have a dance floor, a bar and a separate food area. I will definitely be using DBC Eventz Inc. for my future events.

I had the pleasure of working with Kim as our day-of wedding coordinator, and I couldn't be more thrilled with her services. From the moment we hired her, she exuded professionalism, organization, and a genuine passion for ensuring our day was perfect. Kim took charge from the get-go, coordinating with vendors, creating timelines, and ensuring every detail was in place. Her proactive approach alleviated so much stress for both myself and my husband, allowing us to fully enjoy our special day without worrying about the logistics. Her attention to detail was impeccable, and it was evident that she knew her responsibilities inside and out. From coordinating the ceremony to ensuring the reception ran smoothly, Kim was always one step ahead, anticipating any potential issues and swiftly resolving them. What truly set Kim apart was her unwavering dedication to making our wedding day unforgettable. She went above and beyond to accommodate our requests, and her calm demeanor and reassuring presence were a true blessing throughout the day. Thanks to Kim, our wedding day was everything we dreamed of and more. I can't recommend her highly enough to any couple in need of a dedicated, organized, and talented day-of wedding coordinator.

We cannot recommend Jackie enough! Jackie was essential in our wedding planning and coordination. She was extremely responsive, organized and proactive. If you are planning your first (and hopefully last!) wedding, go with Jackie. She has the experience, knows what she is talking about, has a great vendor list, knows what to expect and most importantly is an excellent problem solver. I felt like we were in good hands the entire time. She guided myself and my partner though logistics for the wedding day and then on the wedding day, she was proactive, did an excellent job wrangling our guests and bridal party. When the weather didn't cooperate, she took charge and helped keep things moving smoothly for us and our guests. Jackie also had excellent vendor recommendations, many of which we ended up going well and we are so happy we did. As a gay couple, it was also really important for us to partner with someone that was excited about planning a gay wedding and Jackie was not only enthusiastic but understood our vision and contributed great ideas. Our wedding reception venue was pretty unique and Jackie didn't bat an eye, she understood our vision perfectly and embraced it. I could do on, but I hope you read this and contact Jackie yourself!!

We highly recommend Jennifer Fox for wedding planning services. As a bride, I was able to enjoy a stress-free experience thanks to Jennifer's excellent communication and coordination skills. She was responsive, organized, and ensured that every detail was handled professionally. Jennifer took care of running the entire wedding show so that my husband and I could relax and soak in every special moment. From vendor contracts to decor set-up to keeping the event on schedule, Jennifer handled it all seamlessly. Her services were well worth the value. The only thing I had to worry about as the bride was getting all the necessary information to Jennifer, and she took it from there. Jennifer is a consummate professional and we're so appreciative that she helped our wedding vision come to life perfectly.
