The most unflappable human in the Seattle wedding industry…read moreI've been a wedding photographer for 13 years. I've worked with a lot of planners. BreeAnn at Pink Blossom Events is genuinely in a category of her own. I first met her in 2014 and we've partnered on countless weddings since -- several of which have been published, including a recent feature in Washington Wedding Day magazine. She's been a Seattle wedding planner since 2006 and she knows absolutely everyone in this industry. That experience and those relationships show up in real ways for her clients. But here's what I really want you to know: she is unflappable. Like, legitimately. Things can go sideways on a wedding day -- and sometimes they do -- and BreeAnn calmly puts it all back together before anyone even notices something happened. That skill is rare. It is such a gift. Every time one of my couples tells me they've hired Pink Blossom Events, I exhale. Their wedding is going to be well-managed, the details are handled, and they actually get to enjoy their day instead of stressing through it. Highest possible recommendation. Book her. -- Becca Jones, B. Jones Photography

I cannot put into words how grateful I am for BreeAnn. We came to her with a last-minute wedding…read moreand only one month to plan, and she somehow pulled everything together flawlessly. Not once did she make the tight timeline feel stressful--she handled every detail with such calm, confidence, and grace that I knew we were in the best hands. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect. BreeAnn and team created something even more beautiful than I ever imagined, giving me things I didn't even know I would love until I saw them come to life. Her eye for detail is incredible, and what meant the most to me was how thoughtfully she included my family--especially those who don't understand English. She made sure everyone felt comfortable, included, and taken care of. Because of her and her team outstanding day-of planning, I was truly able to enjoy 100% of my special day without a single worry. BreeAnn handled everything behind the scenes so smoothly that all I had to do was be present and soak in the moment. If you're looking for someone who is talented, dedicated, compassionate, and genuinely passionate about what she does, BreeAnn is the one. She went above and beyond for us, and I will forever be thankful for the magic she created. Highly, highly recommend!

From the very beginning, Aeisha and her planning team guided us through every decision -- from selecting the perfect villa to coordinating airport pickups for all of our guests. They made what could have been a complicated destination wedding feel easy and stress-free. The design was stunning -- every floral choice, table setting, and lounge vignette felt thoughtful and elegant, perfectly reflecting the charm of our villa. Even details like the plated dinner selections were handled with care, ensuring that every course was as memorable as the setting. Across all three days -- the welcome dinner, wedding day, and farewell brunch -- the transitions were seamless. Guests always knew where to go, transportation was punctual, and the atmosphere flowed effortlessly from one event to the next. Many of our guests still talk about how taken care of they felt throughout the weekend. Aeisha and her team truly allowed us to be present and enjoy every moment. We are so grateful to Marigold Design House for turning our wedding into an unforgettable celebration.

We fired MDH five weeks before our wedding. That's how bad it got for us. The stress and…read moredysfunction we experienced working with MDH was so overwhelming that going it alone felt safer than staying with them. MDH promised a high-touch, luxury planning experience. For us, it turned out to be the most chaotic and unprofessional service we've ever encountered. Truly, working with MDH felt like our BIGGEST NIGHTMARE. From day one, MDH sold us on structure and communication--but we ended up being the ones chasing updates, initiating calls, and even rebuilding their internal tools just to understand what was going on. The planning sheet they gave us was a recycled template slapped together last-minute--we literally watched them edit it live. It was useless to us until we fixed it ourselves. Their so-called "vendor sourcing" did not work for us at all - we had to constantly follow up for options and to get the latest updates. We were told vendors weren't responsive, but when we contacted them directly, we got replies within 24 hours. Because of MDH's inattentiveness to calendaring or failure to follow up, we missed major deadlines (like our wedding stationery design, which cost us rush fees), and lost out on accommodation properties we wanted. In our experience, multiple deliverables were constantly promised and never delivered -- welcome tote options, website feedback, decor quotes, timelines, vendor ideas, gifting concepts, were all supposedly "in progress" but never shared. MDH kept telling us other clients were happy and "trusted the process", making us question whether we were expecting too much. When we asked to be connected with those other clients to level set our own expectations and build some confidence in their delivery? Silence. And when we voiced our concerns? We felt gaslit. We were told we were "too involved" and "pulling work away" from the team--when in reality, we felt we were stepping in to do their job. We were trying to protect our own wedding. We were following up (MULTIPLE TIMES) on timelines that MDH shared and then consistently missed. They even had the audacity to tell us that following up on OUR OWN wedding progress was disrupting their workflow (we have never seen this workflow before). In our view, the lead planner, Aeisha, is the most unprofessional service provider we have ever dealt with. We feel like she dissembled constantly, twisted facts, and would say anything to deflect blame. One of the most absurd examples: she claimed the decor for our wedding would cost $99,000! When we asked for a detailed breakdown, we did not receive anything concrete that made sense to us or helped us understand where the money would be spent. No renderings or visualization tools for what we were getting for the $99K, no vendor invoices, no evidence of any negotiations being done for us. We asked Aeisha to show us ANYTHING, any email to vendors, any kind of work-in-progress quotes, to help us build trust in her delivery but our request was denied. She also claimed that because our choice of wedding venue was expensive, we reduced her budget for decor. A discussion like that never happened. The decor budget always remained the same. In fact, we chipped in more to add to our overall budget for the venue because we liked it. But five weeks before our wedding, we had no idea of what we would ultimately be spending on our decor. We felt like Aeisha waited till the very end to slap us with an unreasonable amount and pressure for us to pay up. We didn't pay them any decor budget, parted ways, and asked for our initial retainer back. They refused to give us our money back and also refused to return an overpayment we had made in good faith. They claim it was used to procure decor, but we did not approve of any purchases. We feel this runs against their assertion that the client's consent is at the core of their process. For us, firing MDH was the best decision we made during our wedding planning. After we brought in a new planner, we had an entirely different experience that made us realize what had been missing. For instance: Bali was shutting down the week before our wedding due to Eid and Nyepi Day--which meant no banking and major logistical disruptions. MDH never advised us of this crucial fact given its impact on wedding planning. Either they didn't know or they didn't care. Worse still, we learned that non-Bali vendors needed artist visas--a legal requirement that MDH never mentioned to us. We had to scramble and pay thousands of dollars in last-minute fees to fix this mess. To us, this isn't just about poor service. This is about feeling lied to, ignored, gaslit and constantly stressed about one of the most important events of our life, despite spending thousands of dollars on a planner. We're not just disappointed - we're disgusted. Based on our experience, this is our recommendation - Do. Not. Hire. MDH.

Christina very patiently baked my appetizers in my convection toaster oven and worked around the fact my refrigerator was in the dining room not in the kitchen where it should be. She whipped up two very tasty pitchers of bourbon drinks and checked on my guests frequently to see if they wanted more beverages or snacks. Christina was incredibly organized, had great ideas for party flow and ways to make food and beverage presentation prettier. She was punctual, brought lovely serving dishes I could borrow for the party, helped with last minute furniture arranging and decor, and delighted my guests with her hostess skills. It was so nice to have an extra set of hands to take coats, greet guests, and refill trays on the table. I didn't need a full caterer, just another hostess. And how awesome was it to have help with cleanup at the end of the evening? I will definitely hire Xina Events again for my parties this year!
