Soul Agave Proposal + Wedding Planning 

5.0

  • Offers 6 services
  • Serves Santa Ynez, CA for additional fees

Congratulations! You’re making the leap! If you’re here, it’s because you’re ready to tie the (k)not. So exciting -and nerve-wracking, too! If you’re going to pop the question, it has to go RIGHT. The only surprise should be the one that makes your future spouse scream YES! And a cookie-cutter proposal just won’t do. After all, no two love affairs are alike - and proposals shouldn’t be either. If you’re planning a wedding, you know it’s not the kind of event you should entrust to just anyone. You might have a vision and just don’t know where to start. Or maybe you’re so excited you can’t think straight. Either way, you’re in the right place.

We can't say enough wonderful things about our experience with Soul Agave Wedding Planning. From the very first meeting with Dominique, to the flawless execution by Jenn on our wedding day, every step of the process was a dream. Dominique and Jenn not only understood our whimsical desert/garden/barn vision, but also brought it to life in ways we couldn't have imagined. Their attention to detail and dedication to making our day perfect were evident from day one. One of the most remarkable aspects of their service was how stress-free and easy they made the planning process. Their expertise and professionalism shone through, making us feel confident and relaxed throughout the journey to our big day. Their vendor recommendations were nothing short of exceptional. Each member of our wedding team was top-tier in their field, contributing to the seamless flow and incredible atmosphere of our wedding. Even weeks after the event, we're still receiving calls, texts, and having conversations with our guests about how amazing everything was. It's a testament to Soul Agave's expertise and dedication that our wedding day was not only the most beautiful but also unforgettable for everyone involved. If you're looking for a wedding planning team that will exceed your expectations and make your dreams a reality, look no further than Soul Agave.

Kaity Campbell Weddings & Events LLC 

5.0

  • Offers 6 services
  • Starts at $50
  • Serves Santa Ynez, CA for additional fees

With Kaity Campbell Events, you will have a truly luxurious customer experience from the moment you sign your contract all the way up to your event day, and even beyond. We believe that every wedding should be a reflection of your unique love story, and we are here to ensure that every detail is perfectly tailored to your desires. Our passion for creating unforgettable experiences, combined with our industry expertise, allows us to curate a seamless and stress-free wedding day that exceeds your expectations. Being able to create an event that is truly yours, and has all the elements you care about, is why I started doing what I do.

Kaity did a great job, especially considering all the uncertainty of bad weather (my ceremony was outdoors) we had to all deal with. She always had an upbeat and positive attitude the whole time, which I know can be very difficult to do around my family. She definitely would just roll with all the punches to keep us on track. I was anxious the entire day, but Kaity reassured me that she had everything under control and I knew I could trust her. She even went out of her way to get me and my husband little care packages on the day of, with inspiring notes. The only hiccups I actually noticed was with announcements and speeches, because the volume and echo was not great, so people didn't know when things were actually happening, so I wish we could've told the DJ sooner to fix the issue. We had also wanted to have our dinners boxed up, because my husband and I were both too anxious and excited to really eat, so our food ended up being thrown away, plus we didn't receive the top tier of our wedding cake to save for the tradition thing (but my guess is because they served it all to the guests). Unfortunately, at the end of the night, we were super rushed to get everything out of the building, because of the time and the pouring rain- I was running around barefoot in my dress while my husband was passed out in the car, and I was one of the few trying to get everything packed and cleaned up. However, Kaity and her husband really helped us out by collecting all the left items and holding onto them for us until the next day. She kept in contact, since at least a month beforehand, to make sure we had everything in order and sent her all the vendor contacts , so she could be included with all the day-of plans. She really did go above and beyond to make sure I had the best day possible, and I really appreciated that from her. I would definitely hire her again.

This was my first and hopefully not my last time working with Desiree, with over 2000 wedding performed here in the USA I wish all planners had the same work ethic as her.

Talk about making the impossible, possible! I had worked with MVW Events to plan a surprise engagement picnic for my then girlfriend, now wife. Around the time, I was wrapping up my graduate program and set to graduate the day after I planned on proposing. MVW helped me set the vision for the picnic and coordinated sourcing vendors for the right deals on items that would make the moment extra special. With all the details in place, I was confident in what we had planned and was actually less nervous about the whole bended knee thing because of it. Fast forward to the day of and guess what ... It RAINED!! so the park area I had in mind did not allow folks on the grass after fresh rain so we had to change plans on the fly. Morgan and her super creative brain proposed she and her team set up everything in my apartment instead. That way we could have everything we needed for the occasion within arms reach. She even secretly met me while I was out with my partner at a school event to grab my apartment keys and head over to set everything up while I was out. When we got home, when I say the place looked like MAGIC!! We were both blown away (but of course I had an idea of what to expect). And of course, it went perfectly from there. We are now coming on a year happily married and I would not have had the confidence to execute such a plan on my own. THANK YOU Morgan & Team!! 10/10 Recommend!

Without Fernie, we aren't sure our wedding would have happened! We hired Fernie as our Day of Coordinator, and met with her several times via zoom to go over details. She reviewed our materials and created a timeline for our day. She asked questions that made us think about details we might have overlooked. She did a site visit with us, ran our rehearsal, and was with us every step of the way on our day. Our wedding did not go as plan, and on the fly we were able to create a back up plan. Fernie contacted all of our vendors, and we all managed to arrive at the location around the same time. Over all, we were lucky to have her on our team!

Jill was a pleasure to work with - very communicative, organized and proactive. I came to her with a detailed list of decor, and a ground plan for my desired venue layout and she executed them to my exact specifications, helped finalize my timeline, and did a great job communicating with vendors. Shoutout especially to her honoring my last-minute request for fancy folded napkins - this detail turned out beautifully! Thanks to her efforts, our day went very smoothly.

Weddings have been a part of my life since I was six years old. Growing up as the youngest of eight cousins, someone was always getting married. The summer of my 21st birthday, I started my career with weddings at an Alaskan lodge hosting ten weddings that first summer. Since then I've worked in floral design, photography, & the food/wine industries. In 2017, I toured California working event logistics at five different festivals, including Coachella.

Rose and her team were a wonderful asset to ensuring the enjoyment of our wedding! We hired Rose as a month of coordinator for our May 2024 wedding. Once we started working with her the month prior to the wedding a lot of my anxieties regarding how the day was going to go were taken away due to her depth of experience and professionalism. She really took the reins during those last weeks to follow up on final details with our vendors and getting closer to the date I had people asking me if I was stressed out and I can honestly say that I was not as I knew that we were in great hands. The time frame leading up to the wedding I felt my excitement build with each meeting that we had with Rose! The day of the wedding her team of professionals I feel went above and beyond to ensure that everything was to my wishes. They constantly checked in on me during the whole day from when I started getting my makeup done to the last dance, I felt incredibly happy and was truly able to enjoy my wedding day. They made sure everything ran smoothly, that I stayed hydrated, that I ate at cocktail hour and dinner, helped me change into my second dress of the evening and even helped to fix my hair. I highly recommend anybody looking for a wedding coordinator to hire Rose to the Occasions. We are so glad that we did and can sincerely say that it made our wedding the best day of our lives!

She is also extremely professional and reliable. She created an amazing timeline for our day and communicated tirelessly with our vendors and venues. Our day ran so smooth and we ended up 15 mins ahead of schedule! We also loved the vendors she recommended to us, including the DJ, the make-up artists, the florist and the videographer. I could not be happier with Pearl. I highly recommend her to any bride-to-be, especially those with demanding life and career lives. She will make this process x1000 more fun and smoother for you.

We started working with Jessica about 14 months before our big day and were immediately blown away by how organized, professional and kind she was. Those traits remained in place throughout months of indecisiveness (me), general stress (also me) and last minute issues that required quick thinking (our venue). With Jessica's help and guidance we were able to throw the wedding of our dreams and have received endless complements about how seamless the evening flowed. Jessica was a huge asset to us during the whole process and we are forever grateful for her patience and support! Wedding planning is HARD but Jessica made it painless and you will not regret having her on your team!

It goes without saying that when it comes to event planning, Andrina gets it! She's insanely creative and at the same time refreshingly collaborative. When I contacted her about organizing a romantic marriage proposal, she made it a priority to understand my vision and then build off of it. Given that I wanted to propose in Big Sur but couldn't come up from LA without getting caught, Andrina scouted several locations, took photos and videos, and kept me updated on all our options as they developed. She was transparent in all our communications and was always conscious of our budget when giving suggestions. The execution of this proposal was flawless and exactly what I imagined. There was a beautiful picnic arrangement waiting for us as at a secluded, picturesque spot where photographers were inconspicuously pretending to be tourists until I popped the question. After an intimate photoshoot we proceeded to a surprise dinner with the rest of the family at a local restaurant, where the table had been pre-arranged with flowers and custom menus. It was such an incredible day and I can't thank Andrina enough for making this important moment happen. Cheers!

I have been coordinating events for 5+ years and fell in love with the methodical creation that comes from planning each different event. Each event is different and has it's own challenges which makes the entire process that much more exciting.

Luxury Affairs was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From our very first interaction, the team's communication was thorough, thoughtful, and all-encompassing, ensuring we felt supported and cared for every step of the way. Their attention to detail and ability to expertly coordinate all aspects of our special day was truly magical - we felt completely stress-free and able to simply enjoy the experience. For example, lead planner Audrei made sure we were on time for every event, and her team went above and beyond to accommodate my elderly, handicapped mother, making sure she could fully participate in all the festivities despite the challenges of our venue. We are forever grateful to Luxury Affairs for making our wedding day so seamless and special.

She made our timeline and the wedding day ran so smoothly, even though we had to pivot last minute due to the rain! My bustle broke, and my hair started falling out, and there she was with safety pins and bobby pins. She is also just the sweetest. We loved working with her and would recommend her to anyone.
