I…read moreplanned my wedding from out of town (currently live in Hawaii, San Diego native) and Bre was more than willing to work with me, even with a 3 hour time difference. It really helped that she shared my same vision right from the get-go, and I always felt like I was ultimately the one behind the wheel. She made tons of phone calls, visited venues, and made sure that every little thing was taken care of. On my wedding day, I didn't have to worry about a thing, and I was able to completely hand over the reigns without worry. Our wedding was even featured on the wedding blog Every Last Detail and published in the 2013-2014 annual issue of San Diego Style Weddings Magazine! What more could a girl ask for? :)

Other than a tardy limo driver, that was the only slip of the day...and even that's a stretch (pun intended...wah wah). For many of my younger cousins, this was the first wedding they have ever attended (as I mentioned, I'm the oldest/first of 15 cousins to get married)I and my aunts are telling their kids, "not every wedding is REMOTELY that fun/awesome...this was not normal, so don't get used to it!" Everything....everything was amazing! But most importantly, everyone had an absolute BLAST! I highly recommend Bre and her team for your wedding! She was responsive, sweet, flexible and super professional. THANK YOU BRE!

Some of my favorite parts about BRICK were the late event time, no noise ordinance, flexible decor options, flexible vendor options, ample parking and more. The only vendor BRICK requires you to use, is their bar team, which is perfect because they were AMAZING. They were friendly, attentive, fast, and fun to have at the event. We supplied our own alcohol and they did the rest! During the planning stage of the event, BRICK was extremely responsive and helped us with every tiny detail. We worked closely with Hannah, Sabrina, and Victoria. I would absolutely choose BRICK again!

The lighting proved PHENOMENAL for my photos and the scrolling picture projector was the icing on the cake!! BRICK and their staff truly made my once-in-lifetime event a flawless event I'll never be able to forget!

We hired her as a month-of coordinator, but she was such a help from the moment we hired her. She took a huge burden off our shoulders, and was a great resource from the beginning giving us tools, recommendations, a timeline, and answering any questions we had during the planning process. As we got closer to our wedding date, she did a fantastic job coordinating between our venue, all of our vendors, and us. She did a great job working with us and with other vendors to keep us on budget and helped us pull off some DIY tasks. On the day of the wedding, she handled everything perfectly, managing the set up, tear down, timeline, coordination between vendors, and kept everything on schedule, so that we could focus on enjoying our big day and being present. We would highly recommend Bliss Events, especially Paige, to anyone looking for a month-of coordinator that can help you plan your own wedding, and take everything off your hands for the actual day.

She truly helped make our wedding day perfect!!

She is beyond professional, creative, kind, upbeat, patient, reliable, consistently positive and optimistic. She offers a wealth of expertise about the most beautiful flowers! She listens to your wedding floral wishes and executes with great care to details. I made a few changes along the way due to my husband's wedding party having a major change in their tux color six weeks out from the wedding! I was very discouraged because I had an idea set in my mind! Atalanta did not fret. She sent over new floral ideas promptly for the adjustments! Seeing my ceremony and reception floral arrangements gave me butterflies! I could not believe my eyes because of what absolutely beautiful works of art Atalanta had created! It was a floral layout fit for royalty. I am extremely blessed to have found Camellia Wedding Flowers! Atalanta will always hold a special place in my heart for her role in the most spectacular day of my life!

We just celebrated our…read moreone-year wedding anniversary this weekend, and as I was going through our photos, I couldn't help but think--wow, our wedding looked absolutely magical! It was everything I hoped for and so much more. That magic was made possible thanks to the incredibly talented woman behind Camellia Wedding Flowers, Atalanta. From start to finish, Atalanta was an absolute dream to work with. She was professional, responsive, attentive, and so detail-oriented. She truly brought my vision to life with our wedding florals. As an avid collector and gardener of Epiphyllum cactus, I had a very specific request. These blooms are rare, stunning, and delicate--they only open at night and have a short season. Since using fresh blooms wasn't an option, I asked Atalanta if she could incorporate silk epiphyllum flowers into our arrangements. Not only was she open to the idea, but she thoughtfully consulted me on the best ways to incorporate them--and she nailed it! She transformed our venue into a glowing, romantic summer fairytale. The lush florals, touches of gold, greenery, blush pinks, and the perfectly placed candles created an atmosphere that was simply unforgettable. The way she highlighted the epiphyllum blooms made everything feel so personal and special. On top of her artistry, Atalanta and her team were punctual, organized, and efficient when it came to delivery, setup, and breakdown on the wedding day. I was also beyond thrilled to support a woman-owned and Black-owned business. Thank you, Atalanta, for helping create the wedding of my dreams. I'll never forget it! They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so I've shared a few that showcase her spectacular work! Pictures taken by Pol Sena @Sweetpapermedia

From the very beginning, Dana and Shannon made the planning process feel collaborative, organized, and genuinely enjoyable. Their communication was always clear and timely, and their attention to detail gave us complete confidence leading up to the event. On-site, Julia and Corrine were fantastic to work with. They kept everything moving smoothly with professionalism and grace, and they were always a step ahead when it came to logistics, timing, and coordinating with our entertainment and vendor teams. Their calm presence and proactive coordination made all the difference. SD Event Planning not only delivered everything they promised -- they went above and beyond. We had several standout moments where their team anticipated needs before we even voiced them, and that level of care translated directly to the success of the event and the attendee experience. We genuinely enjoyed working with their whole team and are excited to continue collaborating with them for years to come. As clients, we felt supported, understood, and always in excellent hands. We highly recommend SD Event Planning to any organization looking for a true partner in meetings and events. Warmly, Chad & Nadia Almost Famous Events

She is very responsive to inquiries, and is very flexible with all the changes and challenges that arise for throwing a large party. She is kind and cares about her clients and helping them bring their vision to life. We appreciate all her efforts in making our event a phenomenal success. It was an amazing and fun party! We had shrimp ceviche and chicken empanadas as well as fruits, veggies, dips and crackers for appetizers. These were a huge hit with all our guests. For main entrees we had chicken and pot roast with twice baked potatoes, grilled veggies and oriental salad along with rolls and butter. The meats were so scrumptious and tender. We had an abundance of compliments from our guests on how fabulous the food tasted. The staff working our event under the leadership of Danny was superb. They handled all our requests promptly and with the utmost professionalism. For a company that came in at the lower end when pricing caterers, the quality of the service and products they deliver are on par with high end caterers. We loved the food and service provided by Ranch Events. In fact, they catered two of my other cousins events prior, so they came highly recommended to us. They delivered beyond what we could have asked or imagined. Don't delay, book with Ranch Events today.
