Hiring About Joy Events was, hands down, the best decision that I could have made for my wedding (other than the groom, of course). Working with Jackie was absolutely fantastic! Not only was she a professional in every sense of the word, she was also wonderfully fun and energetic. Jackie often said that she hoped to "spread joy" through her work: the joyfulness and love that Jackie brought with her transformed the entire planning process. Before I hired Jackie, I was behind schedule, stressed out, and overwhelmed. Jackie completely changed the game. She not only got things organized, she also worked directly with the vendors, was unbelievably flexible and generous in her time, and was so incredibly helpful in everything from brainstorming ideas (Jackie is INCREDIBLY creative and has so many beautiful ideas!) to addressing any problems that came up during the planning and during the event itself. She turned stress into excitement, and worry into joy every step of the way. Every time I got off the phone with Jackie, I felt inspired and optimistic. The team that she brought with her on the actual day of the wedding was wonderful: Cookie and Katie were kind, supportive, and all-around awesome. Jackie, I cannot thank you enough for everything that you did for me. I am so grateful to About Joy Events for making my wedding happen.

Jenny and her husband Chris were fabulous to work with! We decided to move forward with the month-of package, however, Jenny was in regular contact in the months before the wedding to make sure she had all the vendor information she needed to ensure a smooth transition for the month-of. We met weekly during the month leading up to our wedding, reviewing decor strike lists, rental orders, catering quantities, and addressing any concerns / hiccups that arose. The only factor completely out of our control was the weather, and as we had an outdoor venue booked for mid-October the likeliness for rain was possible but SO extremely low. Well... it happened. It rained the entire day, although it was a light mist, the dripping from the redwood trees above never let up. Jenny was truly our rock on the day of our wedding. She did everything in her power to make sure vendors were set up as best as possible, guest's seats were wiped immediately prior to seating, and she was able to pivot our entire dining experience from our intended plated dinner to more of a mix and mingle style service. It all worked out, guests raved about the wedding and Travis and I were encouraged and supported by both Jenny and her husband Chris throughout the entire day. We had a moment together prior to the ceremony where I was starting to panic, the rain was not letting up as forecasted and Jenny gave us a much needed pep talk: this was our wedding, this was our story and we are going to embrace the day! We did just that and it was incredible! I am so grateful that we booked Jenny and for her support the day-of and the month leading up. She is extremely organized, thorough, and her years of experience in event planning / management are evident in her work ethic and how smoothly the day went despite the rain. Thank you, Jenny & Chris! :)

  • Offers 7 services
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Occidental, CA

My approach is rooted in discovering your love story & using your love story to deepen the experience of your wedding. I am a poet, designer & chef, which gives me a unique understanding of what goes on behind the scenes, especially in regards to catering. This experience gives me a special ability to help guide you when it comes to hiring vendors and deciding on a wedding theme, menu or design choices. I love unique design that reflects the couple's love story, or gives the guests a unique and deeply moving experience. I think forming a bond is important in order to establish trust, so that I may handle with grace your most important day.

My husband and I were married on September 20th, 2024 in Sonoma, California. I cannot imagine our wedding planning era & wedding without Amiee. As a native Sonoma/Glen Ellen girl, Amiee and I have a shared history of growing up in Sonoma, which lent her an advantage in planning and scoping out possible locations for rehearsal dinners, etc. Amiee also has a great eye and an appreciation for the finer things, so you can trust anything she recommends will be tasteful and beautiful. While I made most decisions with regards to color palettes, design, and aesthetic, I trusted Amiee to oversee the final setup and arrangements the day of, which was initially difficult for me to release control of, and she did NOT disappoint. Our reception was beautiful - my husband's boss told him it was the nicest wedding he had ever been to. My husband and I did things a bit unconventionally, with our vows in a backyard ceremony and our reception at the Jack London Lodge. Amiee helped us navigate the logistics of having 2 locations, and had a wealth of knowledge with regard to the smallest details, such as how many passed appetizers, do you really need a shuttle, etc. In addition to the overall wedding planning, Amiee's husband & his team were the caterers, which we still get compliments on 3 months after the wedding. The catering, overall smooth flow, the last minute touches Amiee added at the end - I am so grateful we worked with her and our wedding would not have been what it was without Amiee & their team.

I’m not even sure where to begin to describe how amazing Events by McKenna is at what they do!! McKenna is the most kind, helpful, and enthusiastic person to assist you during such an important time in your life. She made sure everything went perfectly on our wedding day and every day leading up to it! When we first started our wedding planning journey, we only knew where we wanted to have it, and due to the venue location not regularly being used for weddings, we needed to outsource vendors for everything. That's where McKenna came in and helped us out by hand-picking every vendor that she knew would provide the exact things we were looking for. From catering, florals, furniture rentals, DJ, and all the little details, she knew who would be perfect for the job and she was right about every single one! Every time we had a question or a crazy idea, she had an answer right away and she would do everything she could to make it happen. One thing that we were really hoping for was getting a disco ball above our dance floor, but since we were outdoors, it wasn’t looking promising. McKenna was the one who made sure that we got our disco ball, and it was absolutely perfect! That’s just one example of the many ways McKenna ensured our dream wedding would become a reality. On the day of, McKenna and her team were so efficient and handled everything so that my husband and I could relax and focus on ourselves. We got to our venue and everything was already done and ready to start the day! McKenna was amazing at time management throughout the day, and she was so helpful to not only us, but our families, wedding party and guests as well. Everything went perfectly on schedule and all the crazy ideas that we had came to life with no issues! It was truly the best day of our lives and it wouldn’t have been possible without McKenna’s help! I could write so much more on how incredible Events by McKenna is, but to sum it all up, they are the best choice for your wedding planning and coordinating needs and you will not regret choosing them for your big day!!

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.

I can honestly say that Ali was our wedding-planning superhero! When we first started planning our wedding, I wasn’t even considering hiring a wedding planner since our venue came with a coordinator. However, looking back now, I truly have no idea how we would have pulled off our wedding without Ali. She was absolutely indispensable! I did most of the vendor research and design planning on my own, and while that was manageable, Ali’s services took the entire experience to the next level. She was a lifesaver when it came to the logistics. She kept me organized, helped me stay on track, and made sure I was realistic about what could be done within my vision and budget. Even when the process got overwhelming, Ali was there, ensuring I didn’t get lost in the details or stray too far from my goals. On the wedding day itself, Ali truly shined. From what I was told, there were a few hiccups throughout the day (which is inevitable with any event of this scale), but I never had to worry about a thing. Ali quietly and efficiently handled everything behind the scenes, ensuring that I wasn’t aware of any issues and always had a solution in place before I even knew there was a problem. Thanks to her, I was able to relax and enjoy every moment of our special day without stress. If you’re on the fence about hiring a wedding planner, I can wholeheartedly recommend Ali. She made all the difference for us, and I’ll forever be grateful for her dedication, expertise, and calm presence. She is an absolute gem!

Glennie and Miko absolutely crushed it during our wedding. In the planning process, they knew all the right questions to ask us and when to ask them - so many details that we never even thought of. They were multiple steps ahead of us during our ceremony and reception and were around for the entire 12 hour journey that day! On top of that, they were so incredibly pleasant to work with - genuinely nice people. Definitely recommend them to anyone looking to plan your special day because they'll make it even more special :)

Where do I even begin? Hiring Angela to help coordinate our wedding was THE BEST decision we made. Our wedding was on the smaller side -- we only invited 65 people -- and when we first started planning, we questioned if we even needed a coordinator, but oh my god we absolutely did and I'm so happy we had Angela's support. From our first call with her, we knew we wanted to hire her. She is so kind, sweet and attentive. She saw our vision and was immediately on board. We hired her for month of coordination which was the perfect amount of support. Leading up to the wedding, she was so helpful in coordinating all of our vendor communication, and I'm sure she did work behind the scenes that I'm not even aware of just to make sure everything was going to plan. She was so upbeat and organized at our wedding rehearsal. Our wedding party kept commenting on how awesome she was. We ran into a few vendor issues days before our wedding, including the hotel where our wedding room block was trying to charge us a hefty 1,000 fee just to take a few photos on their property and our reception venue doing last minute construction. Both situations could have been extremely stressful, but Angela handled them like a pro and jumped in to make sure everything was taken care of for us. We held our wedding at the Santa Barbara Courthouse and my biggest concern was always rain since it is an outdoor space. Luckily, it didn’t rain, but I never in a million years would have imagined that I should have been concerned about an entire high school prom showing up to take their prom photos at the exact same time as our wedding ceremony. Thankfully we had Angela and her team on site to make sure the prom was moved as far away from our space as possible! She is seriously a wonder — and shoutout to Brandon on her team who is also fantastic! Do yourself a favor and hire Angela! You won’t regret it. Thank you so much again, Angela! You’re the best and we sincerely appreciate you!

I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Erin. I planned my wedding over a 2 year period and Erin was there every step of the way helping with vendor selection, timelines, site visits, and any question I could possibly have. She was very timely with her responses, extremely organized, and was always down to jump on a zoom call with me. My wedding would not have been what it was without Erin's help, I feel very lucky to have had her as a day of coordinator!

WHERE do I begin!? My mom and I thought we could plan my wedding ourselves but we quickly realized we needed help and that is where Kari came in. We met with a few other planners who we were not loving before meeting with Kari and we were immediately drawn in to her warm, calming and wonderful nature. She is queen and I mean QUEEN planner and our wedding weekend was 10/10 perfect all around solely because of her and her team. Kari made wedding planning...which can be so stressful and overwhelming, feel so easy, manageable and FUN. My family, fiancee and I felt so taken care of and safe in her hands I cannot begin to describe how important it was to not worry AT ALL wedding weekend because Kari had it on lock. She was such a calm presence in the wedding weekend frenzy that I was so grateful for. She was always there to answer my millions of questions and made us feel seen, heard and understood. She took our vision and made it come to life, working with our vendors to ensure our weekend was everything we wanted. Your wedding planner is THE most important person on your wedding weekend (besides your S.O. heheh) so you want someone wonderful, kind hearted, fun, present, organized, calm and someone who just gets it...and that's Kari!!! PLEASE do not hesitate booking her...she is truly a dream come true. OH and she did it all 6 MONTHS PREGNANT. Can someone say superwoman!!?!?!

We cannot express enough how grateful we are for Sandra and the Savvy Weddings team. We worked with Sandra for two years, and she made the process so memorable and enjoyable. We still cannot believe that she was able to turn our dreams into such a reality! Every detail was meticulously organized, and Sandra had such a knack for taking our descriptions and giving them life. It was amazing how well she could interpret our vision and make it better, and was amazing about working with the budget we gave her. We really appreciated how open she was to every idea we had, because we know we can get carried away sometimes, but she had no problem matching our energy. We were also so pleased with her ability to find vendors that perfectly matched our style and budget - every interaction on our wedding day was just so wonderful. The day of the wedding was nothing short of magical. I did not think it was possible to be so relaxed on your own wedding day, and I really want to shout out Sandra, Alex, Alex, and Kyle for really making that happen (and anyone else who was there - these are just the people I interacted with directly)! My bridesmaids were so shocked by how smoothly everything went and how relaxed I was, and we were so happy with how everything turned out. Our guests are still complimenting us months later about the execution, vibes, and decor from the wedding. I love telling people how absolutely perfect the day was, and not just “perfect even with imperfections,” but just literally perfect. No notes. We couldn't have asked for a better partner in this journey, and cannot emphasize enough how much we recommend Savvy Weddings to anyone planning their dream wedding! Trusting Sandra is the closest I’ve come to trusting someone with my life (like actually). She will not steer you wrong. Thank you, Sandra, for making our day truly special!

Honestly. Patricia was fabulous. As the Mother of the Bride, I watched her handle vendors, last minute surprises, and all of our guests with Grace and Professionalism. I never experienced any anxiety and knew that she had absolutely everything under control. My husband and I arrived before anyone else and watched as she seamlessly made sure that everything was done as planned. Her presence was barely noticeable except when needed and then she would almost magically appear anticipating the need. I am so impressed with her skills and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to my closest friends and family.
