Creative Happens Events was founded in 2017 by Daniel DeSantis-Mallia. An experience Event Planner, Daniel's goal was to offer Wedding and Event Planning services that are both affordable and high quality. Our offerings are designed to ensure our clients can relax and enjoy their celebrations. We treat every event as though it is our client's most important day. The special moments in our lives also tend to be the most creative moments. That is where our tagline comes in, "When Life Happens, Creative Happens!"

We had an absolutely phenomenal experience with Creative Happens. We worked with Dan from day one of our wedding planning, and he made things so smooth and easy. He kept all decisions moving, had absolutely amazing vendor contacts, and had really beautiful and fun ideas on decor that felt very us. He also did a really good job working within our budget. The day of was honestly the best day of our lives, and was 100% perfect (which is to say, we *know* there must have been some unexpected challenges crop up but the Creative Happens team handled everything so quickly and seamlessly that my husband I had no idea). We also felt that Dan just genuinely cared about us; he made sure to save us various desserts and remind us that we should take a break to eat or switch to a cold glass of champagne before toasts. It was like having another best man/maid of honor (which really let our wedding parties relax and enjoy the night). We HIGHLY recommend Creative Happens.

Stephanie Rose Events

  • Serves Lake Forest, CA

Kristin Watkins is the joyful, energetic and detail-obsessed lead event designer at Stephanie Rose Events. 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!

She also got the whole wedding packed up into the vans at the end of the night. She also helped me when I was having issues with other vendors, which was nice because it does get confusing if you aren't familiar with what they are asking for. I couldn't have been happier with my choice. If I ever have any other type of event, I will be reaching out to her first.

Hello My name is Rosie G and I'm Based in California and ready to travel, American Portra Events offers full-service and partial-service wedding planning, including day-of coordination. Our dedicated team of three specializes in creating unforgettable weddings, rehearsal dinners, and bachelorette/bachelor parties. With a commitment to personalized service and attention to detail, we ensure every moment of your celebration is seamlessly planned and beautifully executed.

Rosie went ABOVE and BEYOND on our wedding and the days leading up to it. She was incredibly communicative throughout the whole process and worked magic with a few of our vendors to ensure my vision was executed perfectly on our day. Additionally, I had MANY diy projects that she handled on the day effortlessly. (That was a HUGE ask of her....being our venue was quite large.) She paid attention to all of the MANY details I had from the moment we met at our venue walk-through, to our rehearsal, to our day-of. She was in constant contact with myself and on the moments that she knew would be sensitive to me (I could possibly come unglued)...she had amazing intuition to involve the groom. Rosie handled our day AMAZINGLY. She showed up early, stayed late and comforted me through the all the melt-downs! The day would not have been what it was without her. I cannot recommend her enough to coordinate the biggest day of a couple's life. WE LOVE YOU ROSIE! 3

Taysia Alves found her passion for event planning when she took on her Senior Prom in high school. It started as a fun project which turned into a love and passion for seeing her visions come to life and seeing the smiles on all of her fellow classmates' faces. She started her career working at a luxury wedding dress shop then moving to planning events for several upscale hotels. The passion that she puts into her work speaks for itself. She takes every event personally, creating strong relationships with her clients in the process.

I would recommend K.A.E Events and Productions to anyone looking for a planner who knows the industry and is easy to work with.

Congratulations on your engagement and upcoming wedding! You're about to embark in a very exciting journey! While planning your dream wedding is fun and exciting, it can also be stressful and overwhelming. We're here to assist you with the days leading up to the big day and the day-of coordination/management. We can't wait to meet you and be part of your special day!

We worked with Patty as our wedding coordinator. Patty excelled at finding vendors that met our specific guidelines and was very cost-effective, which was a big help during the planning process. However, we did have some concerns with her approach to vendor communication. She often relied on the bride to handle communication difficulties with vendors, rather than taking the lead herself. This caused some unnecessary stress. We would have liked Patty to be more hands-on in providing design ideas. Fortunately, our on-site wedding venue coordinator was fantastic and kept everything running smoothly on the day. However, we were disappointed that wedding party members were asked to handle tasks that should have been managed by Patty. Our biggest concern was that the marriage certificate was left behind. Ensuring the certificate is on-site should have been a top priority for the coordinator, either the morning of the wedding or at the rehearsal. Overall, while Patty had strengths in certain areas, there were aspects of her service that fell short of our expectations.

Since the launch of Ivory + Stone Event Co., formerly R. Nicole Events, the team has earned a notable reputation for exceeding expectations over the last seven years in the San Diego wedding planning industry. Robyn + Rhylae collectively have led countless successful wedding days and have worked together to cultivate the Ivory + Stone style and brand into what is has become today!

Where do I even begin with Ivory & Stone?! Let’s just say without them, there probably would’ve been no wedding. I had the pleasure of working with Robyn Fallon. The other girls were always available, but boy did I get lucky with her! She felt like a best friend during those six months, but was so professional at the same time. She knew every single detail that needed to be dealt with, at a moments notice (things I would’ve never thought of). We had many video calls, but I began looking forward to them. She never complained or made me feel crazy for changing my mind 64828 times. I trusted her with my life at that point. She knew I didn’t like something before I even knew I didn’t like it. I gave her the reigns, and she NAILED everything. The design, the vendor coordination, the scheduling, etc etc etc. They also use this platform that allows you to track everything, and it has every information a wedding could need. It made vendor shopping, budgeting, and communication so easy. I was never worried I was forgetting something. Some of my planning I was doing overseas, which did not make anything harder due to how accommodating she was. Keep in mind she’s also planning 47382 other weddings at the same time, but I felt like the only one. Fast forward to the big day… it went perfect. I could cry thinking about it. She was checking in on us throughout the entire day / night making sure we had food, drinks, and reminding us to enjoy each moment. At one point she even hair sprayed my husbands hair because it was acting wild hahah. Our guests are STILL reaching out to us raving about how beautiful everything was. Robyn is an all-in-one super hero. I will never forget her!
