From the moment I spoke to Carolyn during our initial phone consultation, I was filled with ease and knew she was the person I could trust in the process of coordinating our special day! Carolyn’s calming and positive demeanor was such a Godsend in the otherwise overwhelming process of making many small decisions leading up to the big day. Communication with Carolyn was such a breeze and she was available through text and several phone call meetings where we would talk through ideas and details. I shared my ideas with her, and she immediately understood my vision and helped so much in executing everything we wanted in our wedding day and more. Carolyn coordinated with our vendors on the month of the wedding to ensure that everyone was on the same page. She helped our day flow so effortlessly and even between several locations from the hotel where we got ready, to the church for our ceremony, to our reception venue, and eventually after party. She added personal touches to the experience that were so special to us. Carolyn is truly such a joy to work with and made us feel so cared for during the whole wedding experience. We were in the best hands. We highly recommend Fête Events to anyone looking for a wedding planner who combines professionalism with a personal touch.

Hello and Welcome! I'm Lily, a dedicated and enthusiastic wedding planner on a mission to turn your celebrations into unforgettable experiences. Armed with a Project Management Professional (PMP) certification, I possess the expertise to seamlessly manage all aspects of your wedding, ensuring that every detail assigns with your vision and goals.

Awarded Best of Zola
There are a lot of wedding industry people that I've had the pleasure of getting to know and Slay Events with Lily stands out. These are the traits that you will find in her and her group: 1. Detail Oriented - SO SO much detail goes into a memorable wedding and Lily is the kind of person to ensure that EVERY detail is accounted for, allowing you to relax and ENJOY the experience. I've seen several couples OVERJOYED with her team on their wedding day because every detail was taken care of. 2. Charming - Here's a hidden truth about the industry -- as a vendor, it pays to be magnetic and charming because it greases the wheels and makes things happen. If you look tired, unfriendly, and unreliable, no one will want to work with you. HOWEVER, if you are positive, well put together, and professional, then vendors, coordinators, and caterers take you seriously and will work well with you. This means getting all the puzzle pieces to the perfect wedding in place on your special day. Lily's company is not only respected by the clients she works with but also among those in the wedding industry. For myself as and wedding venue, I breath a sigh of relief whenever I hear that Lily is on the job. Her magnetic personality is a perfect fit as So Cal's premier wedding coordinator. 3. Hard Working - Lily goes that extra mile to make sure the lead up to your special day is worry free and enjoyable as possible. My tell tale sign of a good coordinator is that on wedding day, they are BUSY and COMMUNICATING. Lily is a buzz of activity, directing the couple and their families, and staying in touch with vendors and caterers. She understands that she is the linchpin who ensuring that the day is a success. Highly HIGHLY recommend Slay Events.

Thanks for visiting Breezy Day, we are so happy you are here! We are a sister team in San Diego, committed to helping you make your engagement & wedding day a breeze! WE CANNOT WAIT TO GET TO KNOW YOU!

We got married last weekend and Courtney, the founder of Breezy Day, was our coordinator. I truly cannot overstate how incredible she was to work with - she made ALL the difference in the day and how smooth it yet. We kept a moderate budget for a traditional wedding and did a lot of it with the help of friends and family, and I truly think that the outcome being SO good was partly because of Courtney. She was so well worth adding that line item in our budget. Her knowledge, sunny and cheerful attitude, efficiency, and thorough attentiveness made it so we could actually enjoy our wedding, instead of worrying about anything else or any little issues. Having a professional makes all the difference. She just made it all happen. If you want to relax on your wedding...she's your gal! My husband was very hesitant and resistant to having a coordinator and his view on it has completely shifted because of how great she was. She also took some fun photos for us that turned out so cute, and we have those in addition to our photographer and videographer. And, if you're looking into the Thursday Club in Point Loma, she is the preferred coordinator for a reason!! She really is the best! BOOK HER!

Hi! I am Clemence the face behind The Perfect Pair Wedding :) I am born & raised in France, in the city of love Paris. During college I got the chance to do a semester abroad in San Diego, and met this really special, handsome, American guy... You see it coming? YES! After 3 years of long distance relationship, I finally married the love of my life. A little bit about The Perfect Pair Wedding... it is a San Diego based Wedding planning company, we plan & design weddings all over Southern California to bring to life our Perfect Pair's dreams.

Clemence helped us navigate coordinating our wedding from day 1 and truly lifted so much of the stress of planning off of ourselves. She was very easy to communicate with and always made herself available for questions or talking through certain aspects of planning the day. She took control of communication with our vendors several months in advance and was extremely organized. Her expertise with wedding planning & coordination made us feel very confident going into our big day. Clemence and her team made our actual wedding day and absolute breeze – my husband and I both felt like every aspect was under control and no one was left wondering where they needed to be next, and it was such a relief to not have to handle those details ourselves. We never had to worry about anything going wrong because Clemence had everything under control at all times. Her team was such a pleasure to work with, I highly recommend using them for your special day!

Awarded Best of Zola
After booking my wedding venue early this year, I found Serene Events and Design on my venue coordinator's recommended vendor list, which led me to Korina. Right from the start, she responded so promptly and professionally that I was genuinely impressed by how on top of everything she was. Since I didn't grow up in the U.S., planning a Western-style wedding felt unfamiliar and overwhelming. I had my own ideas and vision but wasn't sure how to bring them to life. Korina was the only planner I reached out to, and I felt so lucky she was available. It really felt like fate to have found such a dependable and supportive planner. From the beginning, I felt completely overwhelmed, but Korina's guidance, timelines, monthly to-do lists, and vendor recommendations helped me get on track. Balancing work, life, and wedding planning was not easy, but Korina's support made it all so much more manageable. I knew early on that I wanted to share my experience so that future brides could find and trust her just like I did. After reading her reviews and seeing photos of her work, I knew Korina was the one. What stood out most was how Korina respected my personal style and was willing to coordinate many design and planning elements to match my vision. She made me feel heard every step of the way and went out of her way to ensure that each detail - from table linens and napkin colors to dinnerware - aligned perfectly with what I imagined. You can tell she genuinely cares about her brides and takes pride in making each wedding unique and true to the couple. On the wedding day, Korina and her assistant, Eileen, were amazing. Their attention to detail and commitment to making everything run smoothly meant I did not have to worry about a thing. I am someone who easily gets anxious and caught up in the details, but with Korina and Eileen, I was able to relax and fully enjoy every moment with my husband, family and friends. After the wedding, Korina and Eileen handled the packing and cleanup so efficiently, it was impressive. Thanks to Korina, my wedding day was beautiful, stress-free, and exactly what I had dreamed of. I am grateful to Korina, Eileen, and the entire team for everything they did to make it all come together. Thank you, Korina, for making my dream wedding a reality!

Olivia is AMAZING for so many reasons! Olivia helped us find our perfect venue because she listened and asked questions to help us figure out what we truly wanted. She was incredible at staying on task with the budget and timelines. She was perfect day of, helping both keep me calm and making sure all of the details were attended to. Her professionalism, enthusiasm and knowledge of the industry and it's players was endlessly helpful...BUT... my FAVORITE thing about Olivia was that she was MY BIGGEST ADVOCATE. She made sure that the vendors never veered from my vision, and that my desires were heard and adhered to; I never had to speak up because Olivia did that for me. Also, she made sure that no one ever pressured me to make decisions, with which I was not comfortable. She is trustworthy, reliable, creative, ORGANIZED and so very sweet on top of everything! We love Olivia, and we will use her again! We’ve got 3 more weddings to plan for our kids!

To the best and most helpful wedding planner in San Diego. Jenna really helped me plan my wedding from the ground up. I was a person who never really dreamt about a dream wedding and knew nothing about planning one. Jenna was there holding our hands from day one helping us navigate and create the most magical and memorable night of our lives. From the big decisions of our venue to the minute details of the table settings she brought our dream night to life. If i tried planning this on my own i think i would have given up. She kept the timelines straight and kept us on schedule throughout the whole planning process. Then when it came to the big day she was a boss. Everything went off without a hitch. I would have to say this might be the best wedding we or any of our guests have attended. The love and gratefulness we have for Jenna is unmeasurable. And the team she surrounds herself and vendors she suggested were all top notch and came through better than expected!!

I have been officially working as a professional wedding planner since 2017. My love of all things weddings and events began at an early age. I worked at a country club in the summers before my freshman and sophomore year of college, I worked on the food and beverage staff which included being a banquet server, and can you guess which was my favorite shift to work, you guessed it, the weddings. Once I got to the point in my life where my friends were starting to get engaged and I was a bridesmaid in their weddings, I found myself taking on extra duties and wanting to be more involved that it hit me, I need to pursue being an event planner.

Miranda was absolutely amazing. We worked with her for a year to plan for our Sonoma wedding. She was recommended from a friend whose wedding she also planned and it was stunning. Even though she was not from the Sonoma area, she did an amazing job finding everything from the venue, to the vendors, photographer, and DJ. She has great attention to detail and really makes you feel at ease in the planning process. We had absolutely no idea what we wanted or what we were doing, but she made both me and my husband way less stressed on every matter. We even had a last minute DJ issue and she found us a new one right away. She helped set up food tastings and made sure we were on track for the big day in terms of seating charts and other small details. The wedding was perfect and she did a fantastic job telling us exactly what to do and where to be. She even helped my brother, the officiant, with what he was suppose to say during the ceremony, as this was his first time officiating. She did the signage, decor, literally everything and alleviated all the stress and jitters on our day. I couldn’t recommend her enough to plan and help on your day. I’d hire her again ten times over!

I’m a practical, organized, creative, resourceful, and resilient, “jeans and t-shirt” type chick. Well, the San Diego part of me is anyway.

Bryce Gaston Events brings an unparalleled standard of detail to high-end weddings in Southern California. We'll plan your wedding seamlessly by prioritizing even the smallest details and designing a day that doesn't just look stunning but creates memories that last a lifetime. If you're looking for a wedding planner who prioritizes logistics to ensure everything runs smoothly and infuses every ounce of your personality into the design of your day, you've come to the right place! We service San Diego, Santa Barbara, Palm Springs, Temecula, Santa Ynez, Los Angeles, Orange County, and beyond.

Where do I even start!? Bryce completely blew us away! As the groom, I’ll admit, I went into wedding planning with the mindset of “we’ve got this, we can handle it all.” I was honestly hesitant about hiring a planner because I didn’t fully understand what they did. I quickly learned that I also did not know what it took to elevate a wedding from “just nice” to one where every single guest felt special, pampered and truly taken care of, from the jaw-dropping decor to the flawless floor plan. Bryce absolutely exceeded all expectations. She was incredibly patient and attentive to every single idea my wife and I threw her way.

Sam was absolutely spectacular in coordinating the reception for our wedding. She went through great lengths to ensure that all the details of the venue (Eden Oaks Ranch) exceeded the vision we had. Sam provided wonderful guidance to build out an appropriate timeline with flexibility for unexpected bumps in the road. She was also fantastic in providing us with shopping lists of supplies we would need to provide for a well-rounded bar selection, which would be enough for our guests to enjoy during the entire event. Sam made sure to coordinate all the vendors and staff like an orchestra, which allowed us to have a great time at our wedding.

Detailed, organized, friendly, and just an overall wonderful human being. We hired Karen for 2-month coordination and right off the bat, she was such a thoughtful planner and her willingness to guide us through anything and everything was amazing. I love a good spreadsheet and Karen has the best!!! Every meeting with her was so productive and we left each one with clear next steps/homework. The day of the wedding, everything went SO smoothly. Karen and her team took care of setting up all of our decor and they did so beautifully! When I arrived to the venue and saw everything, I was taken aback by how stunning everything looked — we had a mix of florals, candles, and fruit for our decor so getting everything set up was no small feat. Karen’s creative eye flawlessly brought my vision to life and I am so so grateful! Outside of decor, Karen’s organization, vendor communication, and speedy cleanup at the end of night was top-notch. We were able to truly enjoy the night, knowing Karen was there. She even took fun videos of the reception on my phone, which were great to watch the morning after to help relive the night :’) Literally each one of my vendors raved about how much they loved working with Karen — if that’s not enough to convince you to hire her for your next event, idk what is! SUCH a pro. Would 100% recommend Karen to any couple!

Heather and her team at Wind n’ Sea Events were absolutely wonderful. From our first meeting, Heather made me feel comfortable by getting to know me to understand my vision for our wedding. I hired Heather for month of wedding coordination. As the wedding got close, Heather contacted me to make sure we were still on the same page about the rehearsal and wedding day. She ensured that the ceremony was as smooth as possible. We were requiring all of our guests be tested for Covid the day of the wedding, and Heather coordinated gathering the test results and ensuring everyone was negative. During the reception, Heather coordinated our vendors to keep things running on our agreed timeline. I surprised my husband with a Hawaiian Wedding Dance and Heather was there to help me change out of my wedding dress and into my performance dress in the four minutes I had to change. I would have been a mess of stress and anxiety without Heather and Wind N’ Sea Events. I cannot recommend them more highly!

Her professionalism, communication, follow-through and knowledge is unmatched. We weren't even aware of the hiccups that happened at our wedding until after it was done because she quickly resolved every issue without being asked. We're forever grateful for everything she did for us. It was challenging not living locally working very demanding jobs to get everything planned, but we never felt the stress because of Dre.

Bre and Jenna may have been the main reason our wedding day was the best day of our lives. They are extremely organized, great at communicating, very prepared, very detail oriented, and so easy and fun to work with. I run a lot of smaller events for an alcohol company so I have the tendency to triple check on things just to make 100% sure nothing falls through the cracks, and they had to keep reminding me they had everything covered, and they absolutely did. They literally think of everything for you! Because of them, I felt the most amazing, calm feeling all day. I was really able to enjoy the beauty of my wife, the day, and all of our friends and family around us with zero distractions. Also, the value of having two coordinators for a similar price to 1 was such a game changer. Thank you Bre and Jenna for making us feel like we were working with our good friends to co-create such a perfect, beautiful day. Can't imagine there are better wedding coordinators out there!

My husband and I are still floating from our wedding and mainly because of how magical and how amazing it went - a huge part because of Sweet Blossom Weddings! We needed a day of coordinator and after looking at options, we were so happy to find SBW’s packages the fit our need perfectly. We purchased the Pear Blossom package, which includes connecting with a coordinator 3 months leading up to the wedding. And WOW. To this day, we will say that having SBW as a vendor was worth every single penny and then some! I would highly recommend them to any couple who wants a kind, patient and genuine coordinator who really knows their stuff and who can really advocate for you as a couple! A huge shout out to our main planner Kylie who was all of the above! In all of our planning meetings, she made us feel confident in our decisions and always offered us her suggestions and advice (which we we gladly took)! She was present and highly accessible to us. Whether it was to joke or vent about anything, she was there! She was able to pull our vision and help us execute a memorable day! On the day of, we had our personal PA Katie and another SBW member who helped with set up. A team of 3 really helped the day go so perfectly! Our bridal party and family commented how attentive and detailed the whole team was. We were also told that as a bride and groom, we looked super relaxed and present during the wedding and reception - and truly, that’s because we were confident in SBW in taking the reigns to conduct our event! Their seamless coordination allowed us to fully enjoy our party. As a couple or as an attendee, SBW’s presence was really felt in the most positive way!

Awarded Best of Zola
I can say without a doubt that I would not have made it through the wedding planning process without Kristi. It was obvious from the start that she has plenty of expertise in this area and she offered her advice in a gentle, non-judgemental manner. For instance, my fiance liked the idea having the ceremony in a particular location followed by an immediate conversion into the reception area after the ceremony; Kristi calmly and kindly explained that this endeavor was harder than it looked and helped us brainstorm different options. She never once made my fiance or me feel that any of our ideas were trivial or stupid; she listened with excitement and spoke with encouragement while also knowing when and how to point out the pros and cons of pending decisions. She went above and beyond in every way possible: when it was clear that family drama was taking its toll on me, Kristi offered numerous times to be the point of contact for a certain family member so as to take stress away from me. I hope I did not take too much advantage of that as it felt like I was using her as a scapegoat. From engagement to leaving the reception, Kristi was patient and kind and was an absolute delight. Her capacity to keep all of the numerous details straight and to recall them instantly was mind-boggling and to boot, she did it all with a calm, unflappable demeanor. I don't think I will ever be able to thank her enough for all she did.

Where to even begin! Jill Hudgins was our wedding planner/saint for the 8 months leading up to our wedding. When I say I can’t imagine how any of our big day would have been possible without her - I absolutely mean it. We knew from our first introductory call with Jill that she was going to be such a great partner and friend through the process. She was thoughtful, organized, and brought the best energy to every detail! When it came time to find and vet vendors, she actually ended up saving us quite a bit of money by either finding identical less expensive vendors or by reviewing contracts and removing unnecessary charges. The real magic happened during the week of our wedding and we needed some emergency rentals - Jill came through with some contacts and got it immediately sorted for us. I got so many compliments on how relaxed I seemed on my wedding day and it was because I knew Jill had my back and everything was going to be perfect. I cannot recommend Jill Hudgins enough. I already miss working with her and I know she will elevate any couple and wedding she works with in the future. Do not miss the chance to partner with such a great planner! Thank you, Jill!

Her impeccable reputation for creating memorable guest experiences attracts local and destination clients like you. Specializing in nontraditional venues, Kristin has transformed barns, museums, airplane hangars and private homes into one-of-a-kind luxury destinations. As a native San Diegan, she knows the city intimately and works with the best local vendors. With an incurable case of wanderlust, she has traveled to 19 countries and all 50 States. And as a mom to 2 sons and a cancer survivor, there isn’t much she can’t handle.

Kristin at Stephanie Rose Events was excellent from start to finish. We did not have a lot of prior knowledge of our chosen wedding city (San Diego) and actually were living across the country at the time. As such, we purchased the full service package from Kristin. Even before we spent a single cent, Kristin provided us with several recommendations for wedding venues, and several pieces of advice regarding our specific needs around having a Catholic wedding. Once we got into wedding planning, Kristin was extremely helpful with finding us an ideal church, reception venue and date. She set up several visits for us, and aside from that provided helpful advice for each venue. In a similar vein, when we chose our vendors, Kristin had a ready-made list for every vendor we'd need, - her advice and expertise literally saved us thousands of dollars in florals and food. For the actual day itself, Kristin was pretty much everywhere ensuring things were done correctly, and it was an incredibly smooth experience. I can only wish that I did her justice in my toast. Everyone generally needs a planner for their wedding, but we would like to highlight Kristin's service as invaluable. She was communicative, helpful and professional from start to finish, and is a true expert in the field. We would fully recommend her skills for anyone planning a wedding!
