Pheiffer Event Planning is wonderful and we couldn't have had a successful wedding without her. We…read morelive in St. Louis, MO so planning a wedding in Sacramento was going to be a little tough since I (the Bride) was from Southern California and the Groom had not lived in Sacramento for at least 10 years. We started planning a little closer to our wedding date in November 2009 (only 7 mo. of planning). Our wedding date was 5/30/10 - Memorial Day Weekend. She helped us find a ceremony and reception location (sending us a ton of photos via e-mail), secure 2 options for hotels for our out-of-town guests (about 70%), rentals for the ceremony. Helped us with the florist, a hair and make-up person, photographer, photobooth company...everything you could absolutely think of - she gave us at least 2 options based on what we were looking for. We only visited once (for one weekend) before the wedding where she scheduled 2 cake tastings, 2 florist meetings, food tasting (which was Mulvaney's and was AMAZING), trial hair & make-up, and visit to the ceremony location. She also helped me with verbiage and proofing on our wedding invitations, menu and programs - which we made. Kendra is very thorough and worked with all of our vendors. She is also very responsive on phone and e-mail and will respond (usually within 24 hours unless she had a wedding or is on vacation. On the day of our wedding, it is hard to show just how helpful she was since it was perfect and nothing went wrong. Her assistant for the day Jordan was also wonderful - she was always there ready to help and I really appreciated it...especially when I wanted to change out my shoes :o). I highly recommend Kendra with Pfeiffer Event Planning. You can see photos of our wedding on our wedding website: web.me.com/bcsakamoto/Brian&Charlayne/Vendors.html

We had the pleasure of working with Makenna this past weekend at a wedding we were DJing and she…read morewas amazing! We don't often leave reviews for other vendors (though we should) but we wanted to specifically point out a few things about Makenna that were noteworthy: *Her communication and organization before the wedding was superb. She was very clear and concise and her timeline was super detailed and well organized (we cannot say the same about all timelines we get from planners) *On the day of the event, she was very composed and relaxed! This may seem like a strange thing to point out, but this is the mark of someone who is good at what they do. It's not that she is "chill" or "doesn't care" it's because she's done her legwork and due diligence before the event to make sure that the day of goes smoothly *She goes above and beyond! There were a few venue issues that were solely the fault of the venue and no one else, Makenna immediately stepped in to help rectify these. She even got in her car and did a run to grab ice mid event (who does that???). Overall she is a true pro and made our day (and our client's wedding) amazing! If you're considering her as a wedding planner you can feel confident knowing she will take the time and care to make sure you have the celebration you deserve!

If you're hesitating on whether on not to book a wedding planner--look no further than Joyeux!…read moreAfter seeing the amazing job they did with my sisters wedding, I booked Makenna and Jess for partial planning to help plan our wedding in July 2022. They are organized, kind, and incredibly experienced! They are literally some of the best in the game and have a list of certified vendors in every area they work in, so each vendor they connect you with is also excellent. They helped us bring our vision to life while bringing up details neither of us had considered. My husband and I saw everything we'd planned with Makenna be executed beautifully on the day of, and were kept blissfully in the dark about any stressful situations that may have happened on wedding day! They are truly professional--my only regret is not booking them for a full planning package. :)

Customized signs to greet my guests, to customized mock tail drinks and stir sticks that have my name engraved with 47th as a keepsake for my guests. Designed pool accessories to tie into the luxury picnic theme and roses and lily's which are my favorite flowers!! A beautiful charcuterie board also with salami roses . Now, let's discuss the luxury picnic ..... beautiful vibrant colors with gold accents (all favorites of mine) my son partnered with Geneva in his vision and she mastered the end result!! I'm still in utter shock on this experience. This luxury picnic left a memory of a lifetime. Let's now talk about the service: Geneva, her husband and daughter set up and ensured my son loved the set up before I even arrived, then followed up with him throughout the day. Geneva and her family arrived to break down the set up and still ensured our happiness. I've reposted so many times on social media about her business and craft. Geneva is a quiet avenger and if you book with her, you will be just as ecstatic as I am - as well as my guests -who are still talking about this and sharing pictures! Please see for yourself as I too added pictures to support my heart felt support and loyalty moving forward!!!

Geneva is a miracle worker, and I will forever be grateful to have found her. With less than a…read moremonth to go, I realized that I needed a party planner for my daughter's bat mitzvah. I didn't know where to go to get someone to help with the decor so looked on Yelp. While many people I spoke to were dismissive given the timeline, Geneva was understanding and reassuring from the get-go. She is seriously inspired when it comes to design! She thought so much about what to do for my daughter. In fact, she made a small change to our centerpieces based on an inspiration she had in the middle of the night and then thoughtfully sought feedback from my daughter and me! Our party could not have been more beautiful. In addition to making the party spectacular and special, Geneva agreed to stay there the day of the party. As soon as I spoke to her the morning of the bat mitzvah, I felt calm. No glitch even phased her. She ended up doing photography for our event after we got last minute terrible feedback about someone else we were going to work with. The photos Geneva took will allow me to remember and appreciate the day forever. Do yourself a favor and hire Geneva immediately. She will make your dreams come true and remove the stress along the way. I'm telling you, she is magic!

I'm so glad I decided to hire Shelby! Several of our guests specifically commented on how well…read moreorganized the wedding was and how smoothly the timeline flowed throughout the day. They said it was one of the most organized weddings they had ever attended. Shelby kept everything running perfectly on schedule from start to finish, which allowed me to truly relax, enjoy my wedding day, and be completely stress-free! She was incredibly accommodating, patient, and responsive to all of my questions and last-minute changes. Her services also included access to her décor inventory, which was such a huge plus! It saved me both time and money. She also does flowers! I had already booked my florist before I found Shelby, but I would have loved to have her do my flowers as well. Planning a wedding is stressful enough without having to manage so many different vendors, so if you can combine services, I highly recommend it! I can't recommend Shelby enough. Her organization, attention to detail, and ability to keep everything running so smoothly made such a difference in our day. The fact that our guests noticed and raved about it says it all. I promise you'll be so thankful you hired her for your big day!

AMAZING EXPERIENCE WORKING WITH SHELBY!!!…read more We cannot thank her enough for bringing our vision to life. From the very beginning, Shelby went above and beyond. She even met us at the venue during a busy weekend of venue hunting, and she was the one who helped us choose our dream location with the simple but powerful question: "Close your eyes. Where do you picture yourself at the altar?" That moment sealed it for us. Throughout the entire year leading up to our wedding, Shelby checked in monthly and guided us through every step of planning. Her dedication, organization, and creativity made the process not only seamless but also enjoyable. On top of her planning expertise, she designed our flowers--and they were stunning. She truly listened to our vision and delivered beautifully. An added bonus is that her brother, Mason, owns Smith Flat House, just five minutes from our venue at Lake and Wood in Camino. Having them handle the catering made everything incredibly smooth and cohesive. Together, they are a dream team--if you're planning a wedding in the Placerville/Pollock Pines/El Dorado County area, you need to book them! What impressed us most was how Shelby approached our venue. Despite never having worked there before, she quickly became an expert. She handled every detail as though she had planned hundreds of weddings there, and her confidence made us feel completely at ease. Shelby made planning and executing our wedding effortless, and we truly could not have done it without her.
