We can't say enough good things about Rose Event Company! Planning a wedding is never easy, but doing it in just 4 months, from across the country, and in a remote area with limited vendors seemed impossible—until we found Ashley. She took our vision of an intimate elopement with our closest family and friends, and turned it into the weekend of our dreams, managing every detail with perfection and making the entire process stress-free. From the moment we first spoke, I knew that Ashley was everything I was looking for. She is professional, organized, and full of creative ideas. Despite the challenges of our location, she found the perfect vendors to bring our vision to life. She understood our style and preferences right away and worked tirelessly to ensure everything was just as we envisioned. Even with the distance, Ashley was always available, responsive, and kept us updated every step of the way. She organized all the activities for our wedding weekend, including putting together our guest welcome bags. The entire weekend was a like a dream. Every single detail was meticulously executed, and we received so many compliments from our guests about how beautiful and seamless everything was. We truly couldn't have asked for a better experience. If you're looking for someone who is not only incredibly talented but also kind, patient, and genuinely invested in making your day perfect, look no further than Ashley. She made what could have been a stressful and overwhelming process into something fun and memorable. Thank you, Ashley for making our dream wedding a reality!

Wildflowers Elegant Events

  • Serves Riverside, CA

I’m Katie Tinker, Owner of Wildflowers Elegant Events. I am the wife of a Wildland Firefighter and a mama to two precious little boys & a furbaby who have stolen my heart forever. I fell in love with wedding/event planning while planning my own wedding 7 years ago. While most feel event planning to be stressful and full of anxiety I find it to be exciting and fulfilling. I am looking forward to working with you to bring your event dreams to life. And in doing that, it is my mission to make it easy, stress free, fun and an exciting journey for you.

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot recommend Katie and her team at Wildflower Elegant Events enough. I also want to start this review by saying that I didn't even think I needed a coordinator. My husband brought it up, and I was like "I don't think we need one, I've got all the planning down", but then he brought up all the reasons that a day of coordinator would be helpful. Let me just say - it was the best decision we ever made!!! I don't even know what I would have done without her. She was so helpful from beginning to end and was SO much more than just a "Day of" wedding coordinator, she helped throughout the months leading up to the wedding, around the time I was so overwhelmed with planning and helped me with things I would never have even thought about. Once we agreed we needed a coordinator, I had talked to/had consultations with a lot of people, and going with Katie was the best choice I made for my wedding day. She was in our budget/price range and from our first "consultation" I could just tell that she was the right choice. It felt right away that she CARED, and I wasn't going to just be a number for her. I also wanted to find someone who had experience with Jewish weddings, and although she did have some experience with less traditional Jewish weddings, I could tell that she was going to really learn and do the wedding right (ours was a fairly traditional Conservative Jewish wedding). Needless to say, my intuition was right and she learned everything she could about the traditions we wanted to honor. Leading up to the wedding, I was struggling finding a few vendors, and was extremely anxious about it, but she helped me to find a make up artist and a baker for the cake, and both ended up being AMAZING finds. She helped me finalize and curate our timeline to perfection and communicated it to all of our other vendors, and then made sure we stuck to that timeline on the day of. She gave me advice and told me about things I wouldn't have even thought about. I filled out a little intake form with what my vision was for the wedding and she made sure it came to life to perfection. She made sure all of the traditional Jewish activities we wanted were incorporated into the timeline, and made sure the day went by seamlessly. She coordinated with all the vendors to make sure everything looked and felt exactly as we had envisioned it. She also was there for me on the day of. If I had an issue or problem, a wardrobe malfunction (my dress ripped and she had a needle and thread ready to go!), was hungry or needed a drink, was frustrated because people weren't where they needed to be before the ceremony, whatever little thing it was, she was there to fix every problem if they arose. Katie was also just a great friend and hype woman throughout the whole day. She made me feel so great and beautiful, and truly was there for me from beginning to end. If you have any doubts or questions about hiring a wedding coordinator, let me just tell you that choosing Katie and Wildflower Elegant Events is choosing an option that will make your wedding planning and wedding day stress-free and PERFECT.

The first time I worked as an event coordinator, I knew I had found my calling. In 2022, I followed my heart and began planning weddings, parties, and events as my career and I've never looked back! I have a wandering soul. I was born in Massachusetts, went to college in Vermont, studied abroad in Ireland, struck out to Utah and have now settled down in Southern California. On the weekends when I'm not working, you can find me chasing the last 7 of my bucket list states, exploring our nation's national parks, or hunting for all kinds of treasure - from metal detecting on the beach to sifting through thrift store aisles!

Bianca’s focus is design, and that was reflected in each careful presentation she brought to us for our review in the lead up to our wedding, including florals, stationary and table settings, each of which reflected exactly what we were thinking. She captured our vibe perfectly - she had clearly listened to every thought and dream we shared with her about the wedding. She also made us feel confident that our day would go off without a hitch (and it did go off without a single hitch!). She was able to quickly change course and get creative when we found out the day before that it would be too hot to hold our wedding outdoors. She re-arranged everything and was able to create a beautiful ceremony space indoors in less than 24 hours. Danny also served as our DJ for our wedding and he was incredible - our guests were dancing all night long, which is exactly what we wanted.

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.

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.

I cannot recommend Love & Laughter Weddings highly enough, especially Evelyn and her phenomenal team. From the moment we started our wedding planning journey, Evelyn's kindness, guidance and unwavering support made every step a happy experience. Planning has never been my forte and I overwhelm easily when decisions need to be made, but her gentle guidance throughout the months of planning alleviated any stress I had, and her attention to detail ensured that every corner of our special day was nothing short of perfect. From coordinating vendors to orchestrating the flow of events seamlessly, they allowed us to fully enjoy ourselves in the moment without a worry in the world. Our guests were also so happy saying on multiple occasions it was the best wedding they had ever been to. One of the extra cherished highlights of our day was the ceremony where Evelyn also took the role as our officiant.

We don’t even know where to begin because words truly can’t capture how incredible Clémence and The Perfect Pair Wedding were. From the very first meeting to the final moments of our wedding day, Clémence was so much more than just a wedding planner - she was our guide, our support system, and our biggest cheerleader. Her passion for what she does is so evident. You can feel the love and care she pours into every single detail. But what truly stood out was how much she cared for us. Clémence was there not just to plan the wedding, but to make sure my husband and I felt supported, calm, and cared for every step of the way. She wasn’t just a planner; she was a steady, reassuring presence, offering both her expertise and her emotional support, problem solving skills when we needed it most. Her eye for detail is unmatched. She coordinated every element with such thoughtfulness and precision that everything came together flawlessly. She brought out the culture and traditions so well! And it wasn’t just us who noticed - our friends, family, and loved ones are still talking about how beautiful the wedding was and how amazing The Perfect Pair Wedding team was. We’ve been receiving so many texts and calls from guests, all raving about how stunning the day was, thanks to Clémence and her team in coordinating so well. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your wedding with as much love, effort and care as if it were her own, Clémence is the one. She didn’t just create a wedding; she created a memory that we and everyone we love will cherish forever.

Our passion is creating and facilitating the perfect event, where everything looks stunning, runs smoothly, and my couple and their guests not only enjoy themselves to the fullest, but experience something truly special and memorable!

I was trying to cut corners on wherever I could as Weddings are just outrageously expensive. My venue required a coordinator, so I looked and reached out to a few. Most never responded to me or were just way too expensive. Finding Jenna was meant to be. She really made me realize how valuable a wedding coordinator is and above all how valuable she was to us. Jenna made all of the difference with how smoothly planning went amd how the day rolled out. I didn't have to worry about a thing because Jenna literally took care of it all - set up, pick up, making sure everyone was where they were supposed to be, and so much more that I am likely unaware of. She is extremely professional and on top of it all and my husband I highly recommend her. All of our guests commented on how smooth the wedding went and for us was nearly stress free. Thank you Jenna!

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 :)

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! Thank you, Miranda!!

Creating MHE is my way of combining all those experiences into one job that I’m truly passionate about. I love every part of the planning process, from the tiniest details to the biggest moments. My goal is to bring your vision to life and create unforgettable memories that reflect your unique love story.

Working with Meagan Hilss Events was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding! We hired her for partial planning, and our only regret is not hiring her sooner for the full wedding planning package! Meagan’s attention to detail, creative vision, and calm demeanor turned what could have been a stressful planning process into an absolute joy. From the very first phone consultation, I knew I wanted to hire her. Meagan took the time to truly understand our vision and brought it to life in ways we couldn’t have imagined. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, from the table arrangements to the seamless timeline. She worked tirelessly behind the scenes, ensuring everything ran smoothly so we could focus on enjoying our day. Meagan’s network of vendors is unmatched, and her recommendations were spot-on. She has an incredible eye for design and a knack for making even the smallest moments feel magical. What really sets Meagan apart is her personal touch and dedication to her clients.

She not only printed and cut them for us but also added extra decor items and candles to bring our vision to life, all without charging us extra for renting her supplies. We truly felt like she cared about us and our budget! We couldn’t be happier, and we owe it all to Meagan and her husband, Mike! Thank you for giving us a day we will cherish forever! **P.S.

We are so grateful for brandi! Because our contract said we had to have a wedding planner for the day.We thought we could just get one just to show.But after interviewing the first one, We knew we needed someone who would definitely care about our special day and all it's details. We interviewed for four others and we just didn't find what we were looking for: professionalism, attention to details, demeanor that showed they would have a quick command of our large bridal party- until we met Brandi!!! What a God sent! Upon meeting her, her genuine care for our wedding was felt immediately. My now husband and I were very organized and already had all the details we wanted.We just need someone excellent to execute them and Brandi did that and so much more. Right away, She contacted all of our vendors, grabbed all of our contracts and organized them. She had an awesome timeline made capturing every detail we explained to her. She was always available to talk or text when we had random questions and always gave thoughtful answers. During the rehearsal, she was in charge and fun! Her loving heart showed when I showed her my bridal bouquet that was full of sad white roses. She made it her mission to find me a new bouquet the day of the wedding! Went to four florists! Just for me! On the wedding day, Brandi and her assistants were excellently dressed in black and with walkies. They set-up my ballroom, beautifully drapped my arch, and aisle chairs just as I dreamed. She and her team were with us until the end. One of the best things we did for this wedding was getting Brandi on board. She's the epitome of small sacrifice BIG, BIG reward. She shows amd makes you feel that coordinating your wedding is her true passion and service. We loved her so much, we referred her to another friend and now her team will be at that wedding!

Working with Michelle has been an absolute pleasure. We selected Michelle because of her long successful track record and also because we have close friends who admitted that Michelle was to be trusted. Selecting a planner can be difficult but thankfully we were blessed with the best one! My wife expects nothing but perfection so the communication between her and Michelle was constant. Everytime my wife had a question or some reassurance; Michelle was there to assist immediately. As a husband, what I appreciated the most was her attention to detail and her calmness. She would always jot down all of our wishes and requests in her notebook in which I respected because there were a lot of asks on our end. Such a professional, responsible, trustworthy person.
