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.

We would give Melaina and Showrunner Events the highest recommendation possible. Having Melaina as our planner and day-of coordinator was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! When we started our wedding planning, we were quite stressed about all the pieces that needed to be done within nine months. In working with Melaina, we hit it off immediately and that interaction made it a no-brainer to partner with Showrunner Events. Melaina is a wonderful professional, but she is also a super fun person to work with, and most importantly, she always had everything under control and gave off a chill vibe that was really calming. She gave great suggestions on selecting vendors and coordinated amongst them to create a seamless schedule for the wedding day that gave us the peace of mind to really enjoy the day rather than worry about logistics. The wedding day proceeded flawlessly, and our guests could not have been more complimentary of how on-point the overall coordination was. We fully recommend Melaina and Showrunner Events to anyone looking for planners or coordinators for weddings or other events - they are truly phenomenal.

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!!
