What initially drew me to I Do Weddings... was her team's familiarity with San Diego wedding venues, and especially with our venue, the Scripps Seaside Forum. From our first consultation with Melissa, through every call and email, we immediately felt at ease knowing she was by our side. Melissa truly made the wedding planning process so much easier. She was incredibly responsive and always had an answer to my many questions in the months leading up to the wedding. I never felt like I was bothering her or asking too much, and knowing we had someone experienced and dependable to turn to made such a difference. On the wedding day, Melissa and her assistant coordinator, Elena, made sure everything went according to plan. My husband and I felt completely stress-free that morning because we knew Melissa and her team had everything under control. We were able to simply enjoy our day and be present in the moment, which was exactly what we wanted. I would HIGHLY recommend Melissa and her team to anyone planning a wedding. We are so grateful for everything they did to make our wedding day so seamless and special!

Gina was my planner for our May 2026 wedding at Rancho Bernardo Inn, and she did an absolutely…read morefabulous job. From the very beginning, working with Gina gave me complete confidence that every question would be answered and every detail would be handled. On the wedding day itself, I never had to worry about a thing because I knew she had everything under control. Her strong working relationship with RBI was incredibly valuable throughout the planning process and made everything feel seamless. Since I'm not local to the San Diego area and didn't always have a clear vision of exactly what I wanted, Gina's recommendations and guidance were invaluable. Anytime I needed vendor suggestions, she immediately sent thoughtful recommendations, and whenever I wanted to dive deeper into details, she made it happen. We met in person multiple times leading up to the wedding weekend, and she helped bring all of the details together so beautifully. She was always available to answer texts or calls, which made the entire process feel so much less stressful. I really appreciated how Gina truly followed my lead and helped execute the vision we wanted. By the time the wedding weekend arrived, I didn't have to think twice about anything -- it all came together so perfectly, and it truly was the most wonderful weekend. I'm so grateful for everything Gina did to make our wedding such a special experience.

As we…read morestarted our wedding planning process, we wanted to explore how a planner could help us, even as someone who already handles corporate events. I'm so glad we found Willmus Weddings! Heather was wonderful from our very first call, and we appreciated having the flexibility to choose between partial or full planning. During our first in-person meeting, she helped us identify what mattered most in selecting our venue. We ultimately chose partial planning based on our venue, Kijamii Overlook at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, and she found us incredible vendors to complete our day. As we got closer to the wedding, I couldn't have imagined how grateful I would be to have Heather to rely on. She kept us on track with every little detail and was always ready with a thoughtful opinion whenever we had questions. On the day of our wedding, Heather and Ava were absolutely fantastic! I was able to trust them completely to set up our decorations exactly as I had envisioned, while we enjoyed getting ready and sharing our first look. Throughout the reception, Heather made sure we actually got to eat, including trying our appetizers and sitting down to enjoy our dinner.

What an incredible experience it was working with Heather, Christophe, Ajji, and their day-of team!…read moreHeather helped us pull off an incredible wedding (~120 people) on a very short (3-month) timeline for a venue that required a lot of hands-on coordination. She recommended amazing vendors (Rudy's Tacos, North Coastal Floral, and Party People DJ) and streamlined communication so everything came together seamlessly. Heather and Ajji worked with a high level of attention to detail to get everything set up, which allowed us to truly relax and soak in the entire wedding weekend, from the rehearsal through the big day. Everything ran smoothly, and Ajji handled all the moving parts behind the scenes. Christophe is an incredible photographer and made us feel completely at ease throughout the day. He captured everything perfectly and was an absolute pleasure to work with. Overall, we couldn't have asked for a better team to bring our wedding to life. If you're looking for a group that is organized, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in making your day special, we can't recommend them highly enough!

THE BEST HIRE!!!! Christine and Lavish were recommended to…read moreme by a friend at work. She said her sister was a wedding planner and created beautiful weddings. She was not wrong! I am so impressed by Christine and her team. My husband and I were engaged for over a year and Gabriela took care of us in the beginning from getting a vision board together, a color palette selected, and an overall concept/theme put together. They recommended different vendors and were realist about setting a budget. I originally found their online aisle planner website difficult and hard to navigate at first and learned to really appreciate it down the road. It wasn't that it was hard to navigate more than I didn't take the time to explore all the different features. It was a life saver for me and later turned into my wedding bible because it housed all my vendor information, payment schedules, important dates, seating chart, checklists, and more. Fast forward to the month before the wedding. Christine was amazing and set up all our final vendor meetings, etc. she made sure all the vendors talked to each other and coordinated everything with the hotel. She took care of all the vendor logistics, COI, etc. Which at the time, I didn't realize was a lot. She was crucial in selecting our decor and creating the timeline. The day of the wedding comes and Christine was there bright and early setting everything up. We had an attendant, Tiffany, assigned to the bridesmaids, another one dedicated to the groomsmen, Christine setting up in the reception hall, and later, Diana, a runner and they all were amazing! They were there the entire time of us getting ready and making sure we could connect with Christine as she handled the vendors coming in. They made sure we were taken care of, checked in, and never left. Diana was also a life saver and had my shoes ready for me to change into after all the photos. I could go on for days and never capture how much Christine and her team truly helped us. They helped set up, tear down, managed my family and guests, managed all the vendors, and handled all the melt downs. They were the absolute best hire! I am truly impressed and am forever grateful to Christine and her team. I 100% recommend Lavish & Co. for any wedding. They were truly amazing and went above and beyond, exceeded all expectations. My husband and I are not the easiest people and I know that. But, Christine and her team were so gracious and accommodating throughout the whole process. I have no complaints. Thank you Lavish for making my wedding a beautiful dream come true!

We cannot say enough great things about the Lavish Wedding Team, and especially Gabriela! From the…read moremoment we met Gabriela, it was clear that she wasn't just a wedding planner--she was someone deeply invested in making our wedding day a reflection of us as a couple. She took the time during our very first meeting to ask about our personal story--how we met, how my husband proposed, and what made our relationship unique. This was something no other planner had done, and it immediately made us feel like we were in the hands of someone who truly cared. She has become more than just a wedding planner, and is now one of our friends. Our wedding was a beautiful blend of two distinct cultures, and Lavish went above and beyond to ensure that every detail honored both of our traditions in a way that felt seamless and cohesive. Gabriela found creative ways to incorporate elements of each culture into the decor, ceremony, and reception, making our celebration not just special, but incredibly personal. Her thoughtful approach to merging these cultural elements was absolutely perfect, and we were so grateful for the care she took to ensure everything felt authentic and meaningful. On top of all that, the Lavish team was incredibly attentive to every last detail. There were a few last-minute challenges on the day of the wedding, and they handled them with such grace and professionalism that we didn't have to worry about a thing. If you're looking for a wedding planning team who will go above and beyond to make your day as special as it can be, look no further than Lavish.

Every detail was thoughtfully handled, and nothing was overlooked. The level of care and attention they brought to every aspect of the day was incredible. Even the smallest details that mattered deeply to us were executed flawlessly. Throughout the day, we felt completely taken care of. Their calm professionalism allowed us to be fully present and enjoy every moment with our family and friends. Rachel even made a mid-dinner stain on my dress disappear as if it had never happened. And while we know they can't technically control the weather, we're still convinced they found a way to turn an 85% chance of rain into the most beautiful sunny day imaginable. We are endlessly grateful for the care, creativity and heart they brought to our wedding. It was everything we dreamed of and more, and we couldn't have imagined a better team by our side.

They were setting up for another wedding there and I loved every part of it and had to get their card. From the very beginning they made the entire planning process feel easy and organized. Their use of Aisle Planner was incredibly helpful. We loved that it allowed us to have multiple logins for family members and let us keep track of all contracts, timelines, and details in one place. Molly and Rachel were always quick to respond to any questions we had and they kept us on track every step of the way. I never felt like I had to check in or worry about what needed to be done because I knew they would let us know exactly when something needed attention. They know Scripps Seaside Forum so well and gave us the best vendor recommendations. We truly loved every single referral they provided. Even once peak wedding season began, we never felt overlooked. They continued to be responsive and attentive, even on weekends when they were busy working other weddings. Molly and Rachel are professional, organized, knowledgeable, and have such a great eye for design. On our wedding day when the weather unexpectedly changed, they made the transition to Plan B feel seamless. They gave me their honest opinion about what would make our guests most comfortable and create the best experience given the circumstances, which I appreciated so much. I truly could not recommend Molly and Rachel enough. They made the planning process so much easier and helped us feel completely taken care of from start to finish.

From the moment we booked their all-inclusive package, the planning process became incredibly easy. Abbey has built an outstanding network of top-tier vendors throughout San Diego, and every single one exceeded our expectations. Our wedding coordinator, David Robertson, guided us through every detail with professionalism, patience, and genuine care. He made us feel confident and prepared every step of the way, allowing us to truly enjoy the experience instead of feeling overwhelmed. DJ Abel did a fantastic job with both the music and audio setup, ensuring everything flowed perfectly throughout the ceremony and reception. Our photographer, Misha Rockova, was incredibly professional, organized, and wonderful to work with. She made everyone feel comfortable while capturing every meaningful moment. The cake from Sugar Bears Bakery was absolutely delicious, and our guests are still talking about the food catered by Abbey. Everything was beautifully presented and exceeded our expectations.

From the start Will, who signed us up, was most helpful and really knew his information. We clicked instantly and it was such a pleasure to talk with him and meet him in person.

After meeting Will we really had a great feeling and signed up within that week. The food was incredible at the tasting, and it was hard choosing which entrée and hours d'oeuvres to choose from since everything was so good. Chuck, our wedding coordinator, was beyond great and so helpful. He was such an asset to have on our side and really made the day go smooth. He was also so friendly and great to work with. We really felt like we made friends with our Abbey team There were absolutely no hiccups whatsoever and I was so calm the whole day. David, our catering lead, was another amazing team member. He was right there to offer us food first and make sure we had enough of our share. The rest of the catering team always made us a priority too and I was very hungry after the ceremony in between pictures so that was so great. We ordered the following for tray passed hors d'oeuvres: petite beef wellington, wild mushroom arancini, bruschetta, and bacon wrapped stuffed dates. We opted for the dual entrée of the boneless short ribs, and the panko-herb crusted chicken with vegetables and the truffle smashed potatoes. All were so good and I wish I could eat them all again Our guests could not stop raving about the food. They even made dietary restriction meals for several of our guests, and they said it was one of the best vegan/vegetarian meals they have ever had. We really were impressed with the food and so glad we went with Abbey as that was important for us to have really good tasting food. We opted for the whole package with their vendors for flowers, DJ, photographer, and cake. Best decision ever!!! We had Emerald and Ivy for the florist and my goodness Mishele, and the Abbey team put together exactly what I pictured in my mind! Such beautiful flowers and we rented bud vases and candles from her. DJ Abel from the Wedding Entertainment Collective was beyond amazing! He played our songs and knew the vibes we were going for. The dance floor was a hit, and our guests were dancing the whole night. Everyone was telling us the DJ was so good! Misha, our photographer, was amazing and made us feel so comfortable. The pictures are so beautiful! The cake and mini cupcakes from Sugar Bears Sweet Provisions were out of this world! I'm so glad we saved our wedding cake because we ate it the next day. Our guests loved the mini cupcakes too and we even had enough to give out at treats and take home. We really are so grateful we decided to go with Abbey catering. They really went above and beyond. The whole team, Will, Chuck, David, and the caterers were 10 out of 10 Thank you so much and to the Abbey vendors for making our day even more special!
