I got engaged in July of 2017. As an older bride preparing for my second wedding, I had every intention of doing everything on my own. That wedding planners were for the younger crowd. I was completely wrong. Very early on I realized how impossible it would be to carry out my vision on my own. We decided on Coloma Resort for our wedding site, so I called and left messages with several wedding coordinators in the Sacramento area and selected Alluring events. In December I met with Rachel and Lonnie, and Lonnie was selected as my coordinator. She was responsive to every text, and I sent many. She knew my vision and gently guided me when I was off track. She contacted all of the venders and gave me several options. I know she had other weddings, but I felt that I had her complete attention. Her attention to every detail was amazing. I had no responsibility on my wedding day other than to sit in a chair and have my makeup done, drink Champaign, and walk down the aisle. Lonnie and her crew took care of every detail. My wedding was beautiful and perfect, and I credit Alluring Event for making my vision a reality. read more

Aubrey and her team execute their events beautifully and on time! You will love working with them!

Seriously Rachele was just the best. I was planning my wedding and felt very overwhelmed by choosing the design and details but Rachele to the rescue. We had her for the design and month of coordinating. Best money spent in so glad I didn't do it all myself. My friends were commenting on how calm I was the day of my wedding . That's how it is supposed to be! No stress so I just relaxed and took in all the hard work. During the planning phases I saw Rachele's many talents she was designer, project manager and occasionally talked me off the ledge when I started to feel overwhelmed . So lucky to have had her . I wish I had more occasions to throw big parties so I can hire her again read more

As a vendor (DJ), I've worked with Rachele and the Alluring Events + Design team for a couple years now and have literally nothing but good things to say about them! As someone who is at between 20-30 weddings a year, I can tell you that not all wedding planners are created equally. Rachele and crew at Alluring Events are consistently some of the most organized, fun, nice, and customer service oriented people I get to work with in this industry.  They have a great aesthetic and their eye for detail shows at all of their gorgeous events. I'm married to a designer myself, so their next-level details and design stand out even more against the crowd. When it comes to coordination, Rachele is always on top of it and super communicative, whether it is 1+ year out from an event or the actual wedding day, she is always quick to respond and never makes it seem like I'm bothering her (even if I'm sure she has a billion other things to take care of at any given moment). Rachele is really a rockstar at keeping the show going behind the scenes and helping every event be a success. I'm always given any info/details I need well in advance and every wedding I've done with them has been incredibly well organized, on time, beautiful, and FUN!   Recently at a 100°+ event Rachele texted all the vendors an hour before we arrived and brought us Jamba Juice and battery powered fans, who does that??? I cannot recommend this team enough, I'm confident they will go above and beyond for your event. read more

I couldn't be happier or have a single nicer thing to say about Sarah Bayer and her team. Sarah is single-handedly the reason our wedding went so flawlessly. In the year leading up to the wedding, Sarah was very helpful as a sounding board, especially as we made COVID-related decisions. In the months leading up to the event, she was very communicative and spent hours on the phone with us nailing down even the tiniest details of our night. Sarah was very organized and detail oriented, and as soon as I sent her a vendor contract and contact info, I could count on her to take over and communicate anything that needed communicating. In the week leading up to the wedding, she helped me rejigger the timeline so we could ensure enough dancing. She's clearly an expert at what she does because when I wanted to move things around she'd know exactly the ramifications -- "If you move speeches here, it will mean people are still eating when dancing starts." etc. On the day of, she brought my vision to life even better than I'd envisioned it. She handled my crazy bridal party with ease and grace. She managed a tight run of show. I honestly have no clue if there were every any issues, thanks to all her hard work behind the scenes. I truly don't know how she managed so many details and moving pieces, while also seemingly being right there, ready and waiting, whenever I needed anything. She was also just an absolute joy to have around! My husband and I are beyond thrilled. I'm just sad to not still be working with her (Will most definitely be calling her for my sisters' wedding one day though!) read more

We hired Alluring Events + Design for the day-of coordination of our wedding last year and had the most positive experience. My parents, who were heavily involved with the wedding preparations, have repeatedly said that they would have been a wreck without Brittany and her team. They were able to manage all the details involved in setup (ceremony, cocktail hour, reception), transitions, and break down flawlessly. Communication with Brittany started a few months before the actual wedding and included an extensive site visit. Brittany is highly organized and professional yet warm and sweet. I had the utmost confidence in her going into my wedding and came out of it convinced that hiring Alluring Events was one of the best investments we made for our big day. I'm sure there was a little chaos that day, but I never knew. That's exactly what you want in a wedding planner - someone who can handle the drama and hide it from the bride. read more

Brittany was absolutely amazing! She was super helpful leading up to our big day, and was an absolute lifesaver the day of - I can't imagine having done it without her! Booking Alluring was the easiest and best decision we made during the entire wedding planning process. I would highly recommend anyone looking for a planner to book Alluring ASAP, you won't be disappointed! read more

If you are thinking about hiring a wedding planner and looking for a good one - you can stop right here. Lonnie was amazing, and I know it was the best investment into our wedding planning. We have a little one, and busy work schedules. So there is no way we could also pull off planning a wedding on our own. Lonnie kept us focused and organized. She knows best when we should focus on each task, and what decisions should be made when. She offered a lot of vendor recommendations, which was super helpful. She thinks about details that we would just not even think about. And on the big day, after almost a year of planning, everything went PERFECT! I don't even know how many people told us it was the most perfect wedding they've ever been to. And we are so happy that everything worked out so well, and we have all these magical memories to keep. Thank you, Lonnie! We will never forget this day. Anastasia and Marc read more

Aubrey, and her whole team, are the absolute best!! She made the wedding planning process stress-free and fun. We had a relatively short engagement, and Aubrey made sure we were still able to make our day perfect. She is an expert when it comes to coordinating vendors, creating a smooth timeline, and helping with the little details that make the day extra beautiful. We worked with other members of the Alluring Events team along the way and on our wedding day and they were just as helpful and professional. Amy went above and beyond as our day of concierge. She made sure all the dresses were steamed and ready, we were fed, and the boys had their act together. I would highly recommend Alluring Events for your special day. Whether you are like me and needed help with the whole process, or love to plan and just need some guidance along the way, they will be able to make your wedding the best! read more

Can't say enough nice things about Sarah @ Alluring Events for the job she did with our wedding. I've never seen someone go so above & beyond at their job to make sure everything went perfectly. Even until the very end, she and her team stayed way later than they needed to so that even clean-up went smoothly. We also had a few issues with other vendors during the wedding day, and neither my Bride or I even knew about them until after because of Sarah taking charge. I actually made comments during the wedding that I couldnt believe everything was running so smoothly (while Sarah was working like crazy behind the scenes to keep it that way). I honestly couldn't have been more impressed by all of the work you did. Thank you for making our wedding so memorable! read more

From the looks of the other reviews maybe we should have met with Aubrey for our consultation. My fiance and I met with Kayleigh in their office. Upon arrival she shook my hand and ignored my fiance until we got in the room and sat down. Then she goes 'oh. hi' and shakes his hand. We sat down, Kayleigh asked how met, and that is where it got strange. She asked a couple quick questions- venue, do you have a florist, ect. then she just starred at us. Like a deer in headlights kind of stare. I had to prompt her to tell us about their services, hoping it was an opportunity for her to sell their business to us. Or at least appear mildly enthused about our upcoming wedding. She simply read me the same information I had already read on their website, and that was that. I would suggest having someone more professional conduct the initial consultations, as we were very underwhelmed by the meeting, which lasted all of about 8 minutes. I felt the meeting was very generic and awkward. When someone is looking to spend thousands on your services, next time try and at least fake a little enthusiasm. Btw, I am in no way a bridezilla of any sort. Just want to warn others of the lack of maturity and professionalism we experienced. read more

I knew going into the wedding planning process that I would want to hire a wedding planner to ease some of the stress and nerves. Aubrey was my first choice because she had amazing reviews and I loved her website. I met with her and she made me feel calm about everything! We brought her on for the full-time planning service. She worked with me to put together a vision for the day and I think that is where she really shines!! I know my style, but to communicate it to someone else is challenging. I always felt like Aubrey understood my wedding style from the very beginning (even though she did not have much to go on!) Aubrey was also timely and great at returning calls. She even helped me when I was getting a little worried about the end result or process. Communicating with Aubrey was never a problem and even though she is planning many different events, she gives you her full attention 24/7. She has a wonderful network of talented people and we used many of the people from her vendor list. I trusted her resources, but she was also open to working with new people that I wanted. Aubrey helped me review contracts and she knew what to look for if there were any red flags or payment issues. In the end-a planner was a great choice because it can help avoid a lot of serious problems that comes with payments. Finally, I was SO HAPPY with my wedding that it was better than anything I could have imagined. She pulled off a beautiful day and everything was flawless. My husband and I look back at our wedding as the best night of our lives and we will always thank Aubrey and her team for providing us with such thoughtful assistance. I firmly believe that hiring Aubrey was one the smartest decisions I made as a bride. read more

Aubrey from Alluring Events and Design is absolutely wonderful. I'm a full time wedding DJ and I have seen the good and the not so good type of wedding planners, and I would refer her to my clients with confidence. Aubrey has a very sweet and pleasant nature. Pre event: Aubrey was very responsive to phone calls and emails leading up to the event. She is clear in her communication which is vital for this DJ to be able to do his job. On to the wedding day: The success of an event, from my perspective, is how well your team of vendors work together. She makes it very easy for me to focus on my performance rather than the mechanics of what's going on behind the scenes. I believe there were 3 people on the AED team working this last event and I even commented to Aubrey how were were spot on to the minute for the timeline, which rarely happens with so many moving parts on a wedding day. Looking back: Pre event details were handled quickly and clearly. The day-of was spot-on and I like an event planner who trusts in her team of professionals. As good as it gets! read more

Aubrey~ I am writing this letter/review to express my gratitude to you for our wonderful wedding. When I volunteered to write you a letter of recommendation, it took me a moment (actually a few weeks) to decide if it was possible to express how wonderful our day was in a few words, all because of you and your amazing team. I thought to myself, how could I sum up the perfection, beauty, and organization you brought to our wedding day in one letter? So I will try my best! You entered our wedding planning with a presence that fit perfectly, the moment I met with you I knew I was in good hands. You gracefully helped us with every aspect and more throughout the days to come. You made sure all the little things were perfect and all the perfect things were wonderful. We used the word perfect quite often throughout the process as it even became a running joke by the wedding day, but that's what it was PERFECT! Each step you and your wedding team took on our wedding day really left an impression. My own father, who was not so keen on the idea of a wedding planner in the beginning was so "Wowed" by you he even mentioned you in the opening speech at dinner. We were very fortunate to have the "most perfect" wedding day. It would not have been the same without you. You were not only exactly what we wanted in a wedding planner; assisting us in finding all of the most perfect vendors, getting us the best deals around and working with our budget you also became a life long friend. The many texts/email, excel documents, glasses of wine (or a dirty martini), and picture messages were so fun and helpful! Thank you again for being a part of our wedding day. We already have you booked for our next big event, a gender revel party! I highly recommend Aubrey and her phenomenal team for any wedding. She is so gifted and puts her whole heart into making everything PERFECT! read more

Alluring Events is PHENOMENAL! I had the pleasure of working with Alluring Events at a recent wedding and it was such a pleasure. No detail was left unplanned and the entire day was such a pleasure. The attention to detail, top notch event design, and client and vendor attention were wonderful and I hope to work with them again in the future. Highly recommended to any bride to be from an industry professional who knows how imperative wedding planning, design, and coordination is! read more

Rachele and the team from Alluring were absolutely amazing to work with. My wife and I are both creative and detail-oriented people so we went back and forth on the size package we should get from Alluring. In the end, we opted for the larger package and it was the best choice we could have made for the wedding. Rachele made everything a breeze, reminded us of so many things we didn't think of, and went above and beyond to help with anything. We couldn't have had our perfect wedding without their guidance and tireless help. Thank you guys so much! read more

If you are on the fence about hiring a wedding coordinator, I would urge you to talk to Aubrey and learn about everything she can provide for you. It was the best money we spent on our wedding. My husband and I were married last weekend. Three weeks before the wedding, after a little mix-up with our wedding venue, we were in need of a day-of coordinator. We were referred to Aubrey at Alluring Events and Design. She jumped in and got up-to-speed immediately and reduced our stress levels exponentially. On the day of my wedding, everyone commented on how relaxed I was. That was in large part due to Aubrey and her team. She took care of everything and if anything went wrong, we didn't know about it and neither did any of our guests. Throughout the course of the 12 hour day, I can remember Aubrey having maybe three questions for me, otherwise she was behind the scenes making everything as perfect as we could have ever imagined, and my groom and I, and our parents, were able to enjoy the day from start to finish. I don't even want to think about what our wedding day would have been like with Aubrey and her team. She is the best. read more

We went with the day-of coordinator package which was perfect for us, as we wanted to handle vendor selections ourselves, but definitely wanted help on the day-of so that we could be stress-free. Prior to a month before the wedding, we sent all of our contracts to Brittany and asked various questions on vendor recommendations and whatnot. Then she took over the vendor communication from about a month before the wedding. The day of, she and her team were life-savers. We had two ceremonies, a box of 150 wood-carved names to sort for dinner, two different flower arches, different signage that we brought, and they handled it like champs. We were totally stress-free as we desired. I wish we could've splurged out for a more comprehensive package and have had help with the design, but the day-of coordination was more within our budget and totally worth it for us. Thank you so much, Brittany + Alluring team! read more

As everyone will tell you planning a wedding can be a bit stressful at times. You invest so much and you want it to be absolutely perfect. Hiring Alluring Events will give you a day that is better than you can possibly imagine without the stress! I would hands down recommend working with Alluring Events. My husband and I got married at Park Winters this last May and we could not have done it without Brittany by our side. She was incredibly responsive throughout our planning process whether it was a text, call or email she was always on top of things. Everything that you would want in a planner Brittany is that and more. She was so calm, cool and collected it eased any nerves that we had going into the big day. Brittany was also very flexible, professional and had a great go with the flow attitude. It was really nice to have just one go to person who was able to handle the communication between the venue and all of the vendors. Brittany and her team are all so incredibly talented I knew I was in good hands and that everything would be taken care of. She and her assistant truly created a day that was beyond what I had ever dreamed and hiring her really was the best decision that we made. Knowing that your event will run smoothly, have someone do all of the set up, break down and provide professional guidance along the way is something that you can't put a price on. I am so grateful that we had Brittany, working with her was a wonderful experience, I only wish we would have hired her sooner! read more

If you're planning a wedding, do yourself a favor and hire this team! Alluring made everything so easy for us and Aubrey kept us on track with our budget, tasks and really came through in the clutch the week of when things got hectic. There is so much to do when planning a wedding and I don't know what I would have done without their help. Everything went perfect the day of and it was so nice to be able to sit back and enjoy the day knowing that we had Aubrey and her team there to help us. We are going to Thailand on our honeymoon, and they even helped plan the trip for us! THANK YOU SO MUCH ALLURING! read more

There is just something about Aubrey and her team that you will fall madly in love with. I LOVE working with Alluring Events and Design, they bring a fresh and easy going aspect to a wedding. Aubrey is very organized and just a delight to be around. Great energy and a natural talent for design and planning, she is a seasoned pro. Trust me you will LOVE her ! read more

Hiring Aubrey at Alluring Events and Design was the best decision we made in planning our wedding. She is organized, thoughtful, efficient, and knowledgeable. Our wedding was perfect and exactly what we wanted, and she helped us every step of the way. I can't imagine having done it without her. From the beginning, she made me feel at ease and like everything was under control. Her experience in the industry is a great asset when you suddenly realize how much ACTUALLY goes into planning a wedding. We mostly communicated by email and would have power meetings every few months as needed. I always felt like Aubrey knew what to do and how to do it. The day of our wedding, I worried about basically nothing. Aubrey took care of everything and it went off without any major problems. I felt completely relaxed and at ease knowing that Aubrey (and Brittany) were there to handle everything. Aubrey helped with thematic design, developing a timeline, organizing day-of arrivals and set up of vendors, setting up our tables, day-of coordination, clean up, and tons of little extras like bringing the bridal party lunch on the day of the wedding. Beyond her incredible professional skills, Aubrey is sweet, funny, and easy to communicate with. She is gracious at managing all the personalities that are inevitably involved in such a big and important event (bride included ;). I had absolute trust in her and her team and she never once let me down. You cannot go wrong with Alluring Events & Design. I can't wait for my next big party, I will definitely be a repeat customer for this lovely gem of a business. read more

I want to give a shout out to the great job Brittany did for my daughters wedding. She was so nice and accommodating even when things didn't go as planned. She kept everything on task and the ceremony and reception went on without a hitch that no one knew of. Thank you again Brittany. and Alluring Events and Design... read more

Big THANK YOU to Aubrey White and Rachele Jae Poplin from Alluring Events and Design. I truly do not know what I would have done without both of them! I had an unfortunate situation where my mother fell very ill. This news came about 3 months before my already planned wedding date in Boston. Due to the circumstances my Husband and I decided to cancel the East Coast wedding and move it up two months and to my hometown of Sacramento so my mother could attend. When Aubrey heard of the news she stepped in without hesitation and took charge. Aubrey and Rachele together coordinated decorations, timelines, communication to vendors, rehearsal, weekly advice leading up to the event, set up, tear down and so much more! It is very clear that Aubrey who owns Alluring Events and Design LOVES what she does and cares more about the Bride and Grooms needs/wants over her own. She was attentive and caring making it comforting to work with her and her team. She listened to everything we had to say and didn't miss a beat on the wedding day. Below are some photos from our special day. http://blog.weddingsbyscottanddana.com/stunning-citizen-hotel-wedding/ I will be forever grateful to Aubrey and Rachele. If you're looking for the best of the best to coordinate your wedding I would strongly recommend Alluring Events and Design. - Samantha Farmer read more

Hiring Brittany as our day of coordinator was the best wedding decision we made! She was so helpful with keeping everything organized and on track in the months/ weeks leading up to the wedding. The day of the wedding I felt like I could truly relax and enjoy every moment of my big day without any worries because I knew if anything went wrong she would take care of it. That piece of mind is worth so much on such an important day! I can't emphasize enough how much I would recommend hiring a day of coordinator, especially if she's Brittany! read more

Lonnie at Alluring Events was the most amazing wedding planner a bride and groom could ask for!! We live in LA but were having our wedding celebration in Sacramento at a private estate. I am not from Sacramento (my husband is) so I needed all the help I could get.... oh and I decided three months before that I wanted to have a party. From my initial call with Lonnie (that lasted two hours) she made me feel so comfortable and assured that she could handle it all and she was 100% right!! She planned and designed my wedding in 3 months and it was PERFECT! I didn't fly to Sacramento once to do anything with her, she did it all and so much more! I was beyond pleased with her and she created the most perfect night for me and far exceed what I had ever dreamed of. The best money we spent on the entire wedding was for her to be our Wedding Planner!! read more

Sarah from Alluring Events was my day-of coordinator for my wedding at Park Winters a week ago and I have nothing but great things to say about her! She was a huge asset during the entire wedding planning process even though she was technically only a day-of coordinator. (I can only imagine what you get when you sign up for the full planning service!) Sarah was always responsive via email and available for calls, checked in to make sure we were on track throughout the planning process, helped us with our timeline, and recommended other great vendors. We felt like she really got to know us and the vision we had for our big day. As we got closer to the wedding she went over every little detail with us to ensure she knew exactly how we wanted everything. A few days before the wedding she took all of our extras (signs, favors, guest book, candles, etc.) and on the day of the wedding she arrived at noon to set up so we could focus on getting dressed and taking pictures. She set everything up perfectly and even made a few excellent game time decisions when issues arrived that we hadn't anticipated (checking in with us as necessary but largely taking care of everything independently so we could enjoy the day). At the end of the night she stayed late to tear everything down so we didn't have to, which my mother was most thankful for. Everything ran so smoothly and I am forever grateful to Sarah and the Alluring Events team for making the planning process and actual wedding day itself so easy and fun! For pictures from our wedding check out: http://www.lyndsayundseth.com/park-winters-wedding-taylor-and-chris/ I highly recommend Alluring Events and especially Sarah. I can't even imagine my wedding without them! read more

Our wedding was in May, it is now January and I am just finding the time to write this review which I have written in my head over a thousand times every time I think about how fabulous our wedding was thanks to Aubrey and her amazing team! My husband and I decided we wanted our wedding to be at my father and step-mother's house in California while we were living in a different state. At first it seemed like no big issue to have over a year to plan a simple backyard wedding while living a state away. Man, were we wrong! It soon became apparent that flying home every weekend to try and plan a wedding was just not going to work. That's when we made a family decision to hire a wedding planner. At first I was skeptical, I thought about all the other places that money could go to in the wedding and how it couldn't be that hard to plan a wedding. Then we met with Aubrey. From the very first meeting I just felt comfortable with her. Aubrey had such an easy going and relaxed personality it kept my anxiety in check (she was the PERFECT person to have there on the wedding day!). Aside from that, at our first meeting my father really grilled her with questions. She handled those questions expertly and did not seemed phased at all by explaining how she would make the wedding something above and beyond and stay in our budget, and figure out a way to include all that I wanted in my wedding! After the first meeting with Aubrey my entire family was sold and we asked her to help us with the planning of what I came to find out was not an easy wedding to pull off! There were many details to this wedding that I think were a bit out of the ordinary that Aubrey EASILY worked out. She had an answer for every question and solutions for worries of ours as to how to work around certain family dynamics and even helped us find a caterer that could provide a vegetarian wedding meal! Furthermore, with Aubrey you are not just getting someone to plan and coordinate the wedding, you really are getting someone with design experience. I had vague ideas of what I wanted my wedding to look like and some random Pinterest pins that Aubrey turned into the most gorgeous wedding design. She has such an incredible eye for detail and used a lot of her own cute pieces to accent the wedding decor. There was not pressure to use vendors she had worked with in the past, however, we ended up using vendors she recommended because we trusted in their work ethic and final product because we saw that in Aubrey and trusted her judgement fully. I am so happy we did!!! After a year of planning the big day finally arrived and I could not believe how relaxed I felt knowing Aubrey had EVERYTHING under control! Three days before our May wedding the forecast showed heavy rain which was not ideal for our cute outdoor evening wedding. Aubrey was so calm and simply stated we needed to change the plan. She helped us find a tent, had it set up in the backyard and seamlessly changed a years' worth of planning overnight. Needless to say, the wedding was gorgeous and I think the pictures speak for themselves. If Aubrey could have stopped the rain she would have, I believe this amazing woman can tackle anything! If you are on the fence about hiring a wedding planner, just meet with Aubrey. I cannot recommend her more highly and feel so lucky to have had her expertise for planning and delivering on our special day. Thank you so much to Aubrey and the Alluring Events team! read more

Aubrey White & her team at Alluring Events were incredible from start to finish. Aubrey was our wedding planner and boy did she exceed our expectations! She was calm, professional, and well organized. She tirelessly coordinated vendors , confidently created smooth timelines and helped remind us of little details that were extremely important on the big day! She actively listened to our wishes and gently gave her opinion when we were unsure. Aubrey has many years of first hand experiences which were extremely valuable! Aubrey also came with many wonderful recommendations and has great connections with local vendors. All her vendors were classy, professional, and far exceeded our expectations. She recommends vendors that she thinks will best fit your personality and who will work to create the experience you are trying to have on your wedding day. She always kept us on schedule, so all the details were planned far in advance and never last minute. This made the day of the wedding everything we could have imagined and so much more. I would suggest to any bride (and MOB) to hire a wedding planner like Aubrey & the Alluring Events team! It will be one of the best things you do for your wedding & your sanity. You already have enough stress in life, let alone when you are trying plan a wedding! It is such a big day and a day that you will remember forever. So, choosing the right team to plan your wedding is extremely important to ensure the day is everything you could have imagined & more. read more

If you want your wedding to go perfectly, use this company! Specifically, Aubrey White! Aubrey is the most patient, compassionate, organized, positive human being - and she made our wedding run seamlessly and beautifully. She was ALWAYS available via text, email, or phone call for the entire year leading up to our event, she took care of problems before we even noticed them, and she navigated potentially sticky situations with impressive grace and ability. Aubrey made actual magic happen throughout our entire day, to the point that I couldn't believe she was one person. So much had been taken care of with such precision and meticulous attention to detail, that I thought she must have had five more invisible assistants we weren't aware of. You will not regret working with this company - it is the most important investment you will make. read more

Our wedding was everything we dreamed of thanks to Lonnie at Alluring. She was my right hand in every way through all of our planning! Lonnie truly listened to our vision and executed every detail with kindness and grace. She worked beautifully with our vendors and was always cheerful and thoughtful. We can not say enough about how grateful we are to have had her by our side. read more

I wish I could give Aubrey and Alluring Events + Design more than 5 stars. Aubrey is THE BEST! Let me reiterate - Aubrey is the BEST. I was on the fence about hiring a wedding coordinator for my 300+ person wedding, and hiring Aubrey was easily the best thing I did for my wedding day. We used her as our day of coordinator for our Livermore wedding on 2/24/18 and I don't even know if I can truly express in words how great it was to work with her. As someone who gets overwhelmed and stressed easy, having someone like Aubrey help us the day of our wedding was hugely helpful. She is so calm and collected and easy to be around. She is an incredible coordinator and helped me feel so relaxed and ready for our wedding day. Hiring a coordinator was worth every penny, and is a great investment for a wedding. She was available by phone or email and was always prompt to respond to my questions. Our caterer was over an hour late to our reception and appetizers were rushed to get out and dinner started late. Normally, I would kind of freak out. Aubrey and her team took care of everything and I didn't even stress much when they told me that. I fully trusted Aubrey and her team and knew they would make decisions in my best interest if I was unavailable to make the call on something. Aubrey was my main coordinator, and Rachele was a huge help in the day of coordinating as well. They are both so sweet and love what they do. They do what they need to to ensure their client enjoys their day. I cannot imagine what that day would have been like without them. I cannot tell you how incredible it was to be relaxed and stress free in the weeks leading up to my wedding ceremony. I will continue to sing my praises for Aubrey and her team. You will be so pleased with their services and I highly recommend them! read more

"Once we were engaged, we immediately knew we were the couple that didn't want to spend a year planning, we wanted to experience the happiest day of our lives as soon as possible. Once we announced the news, it became apparent from friends and family how stressful and overwhelming the planning process could become, which helped us make a decision immediately to enlist some serious help. We both wanted a beautiful celebration that not only encompassed our personalities as a couple, but also respected our different cultures, beliefs and values as well as our families. We made the best decision we could have ever made by hiring Aubrey to make our dream wedding happen. In only 9 weeks, Aubrey was able to plan a celebration that was nothing we could have ever done on our own. Not only was Aubrey engaging, culturally competent, professional and respectful of our personal needs, time limits and budget, she was ALWAYS available to mediate any conflict at the drop of a hat. Planning the type of wedding we wanted in 9 weeks was ambitious, or "crazy" as our friends like to call it, but Aubrey never made us feel like that. It was all doable in her eyes, and she often took care of our needs before we ever even knew we needed something! Aubrey was incredibly resourceful, and took initiative in all situations, even handling the uncomfortable go-between tasks with family members and the seemingly zillion vendors involved that would have been completely overwhelming otherwise. The most valuable thing we have taken from our experience in hiring a wedding planner is- we got to actually experience our wedding day. From the rehearsal dinner to our first dance- all we remember is how we looked at each other, and what it felt like to be surrounded by family and friends all supporting and celebrating our union. We never knew what went wrong, we didn't spend countless hours planning and controlling every detail or waste time putting out the inevitable "fires" and missing the once in a lifetime experience of OUR day. We had the freedom to enjoy our celebration and each other as newly husband and wife. Aubrey handled everything with ease and grace, and incorporated all our desires and needs with a smile. She made such an impact on us, as well as on our family and friends that, to this day, we tell everyone we know who is getting married to budget for a wedding planner as their number one priority. We absolutely believe our wedding would not have been what it was without Aubrey, and for that we feel incredibly lucky and are forever thankful." ~Jena Farid. read more

I was just married in Jan 2015. My experience with Alluring Events was nothing short of extraordinary. I had the opportunity to work with Aubrey White during the consultation and planning process. Her attention to detail, excitement for our wedding day, understanding of my vision, industry expertise, honesty and true professionalism are unparalleled. She took all the stress out of the planning process. I couldn't have been a Bridezilla if I wanted to because I never had to worry about anything!! I appreciated the attention she provided me and her guidance from start to finish. I also had the opportunity to work with Kayleigh Abeloe, Brittany Hitch and Lauren Duffy. I was equally impressed and thankful to have a team like them to work with. The day of our wedding was executed flawlessly thanks to Aubrey, Brittany and Lauren. The whole Alluring team made our day so perfect and I can't thank them enough! I did the full service package with them and wouldn't change a thing! Thank you, Team Alluring! read more

Alluring Events and Design - Wedding Planning Near Me - Sacramento, California

I created a Yelp account just so I could review Aubrey, that's how amazing she is. Aubrey came recommended from a friend, who had a similarly wonderful experience with her. I am type A, and Aubrey had the perfect balance of commanding all of the details while remaining calm and collected. When I would get overwhelmed or frustrated, she would pull an Olivia Pope style "it's handled" and I never had to deal with the issue again. She provided suggestions and advice about every aspect of the wedding. On the day of the wedding, I had 1,000 paper cranes to hang around the wedding venue, and Aubrey and her team came up with creative ways to utilize them all. I was particularly impressed with how everything came together the day of the wedding - Aubrey handled all of the coordination so that I could simply enjoy the day. I live in Seattle but had my wedding in Sacramento, and Aubrey was particularly great at helping me plan my wedding remotely. She even scheduled a meeting with me in Seattle while she was on vacation here! That's how attentive she is. I could not have asked for a better wedding planner and I have complete confidence that if you hire her, you will as happy as I am. read more
