I’m Dolores McConnell, the owner and lead planner at You So Fancy Events, a Wedding MBA Certified Wedding Planner with over 20 years of experience in the special events industry. From intimate family gatherings to large-scale community festivals, I’ve had the privilege of working on a wide variety of events, and I bring that wealth of experience to every event I plan.

Awarded Best of Zola
Dolores was my life line! My rock! I would recommend her to anyone with a pulse. I had already so much planned (or so I thought!) and she came in and helped me with everything I was still missing. Her experience in event planning was so reasurring but it was her strength and confidence that made me feel so safe in her handling my wedding. And it allowed me to actually enjoy my wedding! I got to actually enjoy my day with my husband and I felt so secure knowing she was handling my family members, the catering team, my photographer and the DJ seamlessly. I didn't even realize she was down a member of her team because everything was going so smoothly - her execution so perfect that I had no idea she was missing man power. Even the small details, like her ensuring that us newlyweds were fed and had minutes to ourselves before the roar of reception, were some of the most special moments of the evening for me. I am beyond grateful and could not recommend her enough.

Cheers To Two did an outstanding job planning our wedding. We hired them for day-of coordination. Michelle and her team were a joy to work with - prompt, clear communication and always kind even when we were scatterbrained. They worked incredibly hard, taking on each challenge and last-minute request with enthusiasm especially considering the size of our venue. Michelle was assertive when she needed to be, also brought fun energy that kept our planning process feeling celebratory and exciting. On the big day, they coordinated everything seamlessly - even literally running back to our room in record time when we forgot our rings! After our first meeting with Cheers To Two we felt total peace of mind that our wedding was in good hands. The months of planning and the event itself went so smoothly we barely noticed behind-the-scenes logistics so we could be totally in the moment. Michelle and her assistants were present to handle any issue but never interrupted the joy of our special day. I can't overstate how grateful we are for Cheers To Two's outstanding service and highly recommend them to other couples! And lastly - the decor!!! They made our vision come to life GORGEOUSLY - I cried. After so many months imagining what it would look like, Michelle made the dream come to life. Pure magic! Let’s do it again!!!

I had a very unique style wedding and most of it I tried to do DIY. In a nutshell, it became extremely overwhelming for me, so I asked my planner Rebecca to assist. Her and the owner were so kind enough to make my original package of Day of Planning, to Full planning at a discount! Saved my whole wedding day. I cried a few days before my wedding because remembering all the months prior, they were there for me every step of the way. And on the day, everyone kept asking me, Is your planner a friend of yours? I honestly told them, 100% yes. :) Because I feel like we now are friends. Such a family orientated company.

Timeless Ties

  • Serves Newport Beach, CA

We’re two friends based in sunny San Diego, and we’re passionate about turning your dream wedding into a reality. While we call the West Coast home, we love traveling across the country to help couples create unforgettable celebrations. From the big decisions to the tiniest details, we can’t wait to be a part of your planning journey and make your special day as magical as possible. Let’s make your wedding everything you’ve imagined and more!

I could not be more thrilled to recommend Kate at Timeless Ties! As someone who was on the fence between a traditional wedding and eloping, Timeless Ties helped me envision and craft an immensely beautiful and special wedding. It encapsulated every bit of love and the joy of sharing the beginning of a lifetime together with our dearest friends. Leading up to the wedding, Kate was intentional about connecting with my fiance and I multiple times to help us plan through all relevant details for preparation. She walked me through her comprehensive wedding planning documents and to develop a wedding timeline. The planning documents included details regarding important contacts, space to assign wedding tasks, and so much more. She connected with wedding vendors, and was especially helpful in connecting with and working with the wedding venue. Timeless Ties even referred us to our dream photographer! On the day of the wedding rehearsal, Kate came for several hours. She helped map out all of the important placement and transitional elements, directed the rehearsal, worked with our DJ, and helped with so many other details. I was unaware of many things that came up in the last minute because Kate handled them all graciously and independently, giving me space to truly be present with family and friends at our rehearsal and rehearsal dinner, and on our wedding the following day. On the wedding day, Kate and her assistant coordinator arrived earlier than I did. Kate is the kind of person who leads by example and hard work; she spent hours setting up chairs, tables, placements, and arranging DIY decor. She worked well with our vendors and was the main point of contact for them the entire day. Kate was the maestro for our timeline and kept everything running according to schedule. During cocktail hour, she and a small team that she led completely changed the main grassy area from a ceremony set up to dinner set up. I wouldn't have changed a thing! If there were any snags in the day, I never knew about them as Kate handled everything. Kate is not only deeply competent, organized, and professional, but an absolute joy to work with. She cared deeply about the vision and priorities my fiance and I had in our wedding, really listened to understand what mattered to us, and spent the time to talk through any potential logistic conflicts to help us have a true understanding of the situation and all of the options available to us. Kate remained a calming presence throughout the wedding day, even as she managed so many details, which truly helped me stay present and able to soak in the day as well. Kate is kind, so positive, and connected with my family and friends. My wedding was one of the most special, incredible days of my life, thanks in no small part to Timeless Ties, and I had a blast spending time with her throughout the process as well!

Jumi of Dunni Weddings recently helped us plan our wedding and I cannot even begin to describe how amazing she was. She handled all of our venue and vendor communication, constructed our timeline for the day, organized our rehearsal & dinner, built out our seating chart with dietary restrictions/special accommodations, helped finalize all the details, and really made sure that everything and everyone was taken care of. I really appreciated the quick communication, check-ins, follow ups, and all the support she gave throughout our planning process. There were things I didn’t even think of or knew we needed to be doing for the wedding that she guided us through to help us make informed decisions. She made sure we were on track with our planning and that everything on our big day went smooth. When there were a few hiccups, she was able to quickly manage those situations like a true professional. Jumi really helped me manage my stress during the planning process, I couldn’t have done it without her. To all the brides out there, a wedding planner is a MUST and Jumi is your girl!!

Not only does she do a SPECTACULAR job creating fun, interesting, and cool custom designs while also managing all of her clients’ needs, she also is so on top of managing all her fellow vendors respectfully and effectively. She has always been the best in Brooklyn (that’s why she is on almost every preferred vendor list in town!!!) and now that she is bicoastal in LA, too, she gets to expand her absolutely amazing business - but also that means you should book her ASAP before somebody else nabs her.

Stop what you’re doing and hire Jessica for your wedding! She is incredibly organized, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to work with. She made sure we had all of our final preparations finished on a timely schedule and she attended our final meeting with the venue to make sure everything was perfect. The timeline she created for the day was amazing, and she truly made the big day go as smooth as possible. Another great perk was the use of her wedding decoration/reception inventory. It was incredibly helpful (not to mention cost effective) to use things like picture frames, votive candles, etc instead of having to buy them. Not only did I love her, but both my family and my husband’s family had nothing but amazing things to say about working with and interacting with her during the wedding.

If you want someone who can help you plan the wedding of your dreams than Vanessa is the girl for you. On our first meeting, even before I hired her she was taking notes and making a timeline for me! She was never pushy and you can tell she truly does this because she loves her job. I had heard all the horror stories of the planners who take advantage of brides and secretly take kickbacks but this is NOT the case at all with Vanessa. I was at first skeptical about hiring someone to plan my Hindu-Jewish fusion wedding who was not of the same culture as me. Turns out I was very very very wrong. She knows more about these traditions than both my fiancé and I. She is always willing to go above and beyond. You can feel the warmth radiating from her and the knowledge. Planning a wedding half way across the country can seem daunting but Vanessa makes it so easy. My friends always comment that I must love wedding planning and I am the least stressed out bride but all credit goes to Vanessa. She literally carries all the stress. She is your friend, planner and therapist. I work a full time job and often call her on my drive home and we will start with how my day was and then we move to wedding details. She will always have your back. She has an extensive network of vendors she has worked with but also is always open to my suggestions of vendors I find. She has literally saved me thousands of dollars. My fiancé and I joked that she is our bodyguard in this crazy wedding industry world. Both of us are highly educated but Vanessa knows the right questions to ask and she also knows when something is not right. She is there to protect you. She will go over the details with a fine tooth comb. She will find people who fit your budget and style. She cares so much for her clients. The biggest mistake someone can make while planning their wedding is not hiring Vanessa. Hire her. You will not regret it.

Serena is a great communicator. She spoke to me as well as the other vendors prior to the wedding, had the timeline ready to go on wedding day, and made it a seamless day! I look forward to work with her in the future!

Working with Bliss Wedding Planners was one of the most important decisions we made when we were planning our wedding. Looking back at the way our wedding unfolded day to day, we realized that Sehar and her team were a very big reason why everything flowed so seamlessly. From making sure vendors were on time and communicating well with each other while also prioritizing us and our requests and vision, Bliss Wedding Planners really did it all! We got married in May of 2022 in Houston and started planning with Sehar in Jan of 2021, knowing we were going to be in line with many who had put their weddings on hold during the pandemic. Sehar always made us feel important as her clients all while we were still traveling for work from California to New York, answered our questions in a timely manner, and met with us in person to discuss the details as the wedding got closer and closer. She even met with our family members so we could discuss timelines and any concerns for the week of the wedding so everyone could feel involved and know what to expect! Her team makes an incredible effort to make sure your wedding looks and feels effortless... and we couldn't be more grateful! A wedding needs a wedding coordinator and we were very pleased with how Bliss Wedding Planners brought our wedding vision to life!

As former events/production people, we knew our most important step to having the perfect day was finding the perfect wedding planner. After just one meeting with Kim, we knew she was the one. She completely understood us and our vision and we connected right away. Kim was so professional and organized and knew how to solve any issue that came up- she was also amazing at keeping us calm and handling things when we got stressed. We aren't the only ones who thought she was amazing- we received so much amazing feedback about how awesome she was from all our vendors, too! I truly believe our day was perfect because of Kim and Katie- they ran the whole thing and it was completely flawless. We cannot recommend them (or thank them!) enough! Your planner is the most important decision you make in this process, and choosing Kim was the easiest and best choice!!!

  • Serves Newport Beach, CA

Welcome to Weddings by Leigh, where we specialize in curating high-end, luxurious events that leave a lasting impression on your guests. Led by the visionary mother-daughter duo Paige Leigh and Christy Leigh, our team is devoted to creating tailored weddings that reflect the elegance, style, and uniqueness of each couple's love story. ~West Coast Based Destination Wedding Planners~

I am still so speechless on how perfect everything went during our wedding because of Weddings by Leigh. I truly wish I could give them more than just 5 stars! My husband and I were living in San Francisco at the time when I first saw their Instagram as I was searching for a Wedding Planner in Las Vegas. We were about a year and a half before our wedding date and I knew I needed all the help since my husband and I were going to be newly living in Las Vegas once our wedding occurred. Paige walked us through every step of the way and answered all of our questions through the whole entire year and a half. We chose their full on wedding package and honestly it was exactly everything we needed in a wedding planner since I am a perfectionist, my husband has his own OCD, and we both live very busy lives working in the medical field. There would be many nights where my husband and I would have a hundred questions and Paige would always be there to save the day. The love and hard work Paige put into our wedding was shown through the entire process where she would contact us to even make sure we were doing well and if we needed to do a phone, video or in person meeting. My husband and I had so many ideas for this wedding and had no idea on how to bring it together, but Paige truly exceeded our expectations. It has almost been a couple months since our wedding and everyone is still telling us that it was the best wedding they have ever been to. Our guests are still expressing how amazing The Weddings by Leigh Team did to plan and to execute our wedding day. We would recommend them to everyone!! Even, my brother and his fiancee are planning their wedding in the fall of 2025 and they are so excited to use Weddings by Leigh to help them plan. My brother and his fiancee were in awe of how amazing Paige and the team handled everything during mine and my husband’s wedding. That was the best day of our lives so far and we cannot thank Weddings by Leigh enough. Thank you for your love, care, best customer service and hard work you all put into our wedding. You guys are in our hearts forever. Cheers to our new friendship, because after a year and a half of talking at least every week, we are now family. We are so so thankful! Truly, if you need a loving, caring and hardworking wedding planner & team, Weddings by Leigh is what you are looking for. You will really thank yourself later 3 Sending all the love, Your April 2024 Bride
