We worked with Amazae from the moment we knew we wanted to get married (before we got engaged, technically. Ha). Both of us are extremely busy re: our jobs and knew that we wouldn't be able to dedicate enough time to truly planning an event of this scale. If you're on the fence, go with Amazae. My husband, before we hired Amazae, was on the fence of whether or not we needed planning services. I told him that if we did not hire someone that there would be no wedding. By the time we had finished our venue search, he knew that I was totally right re: the amount of help you get by leveraging someone else's expertise. You do this once (hopefully) in your life. Amazae does this all the time. Amazae knew all the ins and outs of every venue that we could possibly think of in the Bay Area, Carmel, and Napa. They were able to tell us who was beer and wine only, who had a 10pm end time because of noise ordinances, and who required you to use certain caterers that were $x per head. This will save you SO much time and save you visits to random places that don't meet your requirements. Vendor sourcing - they are super good at this re: figuring out (or making you figure out what you like) who matches your style for every vendor, then finding one that fits in your budget. Most importantly, they will make sure everyone shows up (join any wedding FB group and read some horror stories). They will help you with all of the contracting and the collection of COIs, etc. Again, this would have been IMPOSSIBLE for myself and my now husband. We literally do not have the hours in the day to do this. This team is on top of everything - they will chase you down if they need to for answers for pieces of your event. They can make anything happen - from the weirdest requests to the most mundane. They are so professional, and they really make your wedding super personal. Amazae designed and executed a beautiful event from beginning to end that felt so authentic to us. Day of, they were there to take care of everything, and it was truly a flawless day. We could not asked for a better planner re: Crystal, Kaila, and the rest of the team. We put full trust in them re: the design of this event and the day of. Example: I honestly did not know what florals were going to be there, but they were so stunning. The strength of the Amazae team is in their ability to bring you and your personality into an event that is mostly structured a certain way. They also make your day as stress-free as possible. I cannot say enough positive things about this team and their ability to make your wedding great. If you're down to hand things off to someone else, I would say hand it off to them. It will be better than what you could have come up with yourself. read more

Planning a wedding during a pandemic is hard, even a micro-wedding. You don't want to be cake tasting or menu tasting, so you rely on experts. That's why we decided to hire an event planner for our daughter's wedding in January 2021. Even though it was a small backyard wedding, we wanted it to be memorable and elegant. We interviewed 3 different event planners, and got 3 rough quotes, all around the same ballpark. Amazae's quote, however, was the most detailed, breaking down a high & low range for each item (food, florals, rentals, photography, etc.) It was an easy choice to contract with them. Crystal came onsite for our first meeting, and I really didn't have a lot for her to go on. My daughter isn't the Pinterest type, so I just told Crystal the wedding colors and showed her pictures of the wedding gown and bridesmaid gowns. The rest of the planning was all done via zoom, emails, and a few phone calls. We worked mostly with Caitlin, who is an amazing planner. Each step along the way, she gave us several options to choose from. For example, she provided a list of 4 photographers, their quote for the day, their profile, their gallery, etc. Once all of our choices were made, she put together a design deck that gave us a preview of the entire wedding. It was more gorgeous than I envisioned. On the day of the wedding, Lisa came out to set everything up. She even picked up the florals and wedding cake to save us the delivery fees. It was a little hectic when I met her, and I probably spent 5 minutes with her showing her where everything was before we left for the church ceremony. And when we came back, she was driving off, leaving behind a magical transformation of yard. Everyone was stunned. The catering crew then took over and prepared a "Top Chef" level meal. And when they left, my kitchen was as clean as when they arrived. My husband commented, "Whatever we paid for this wedding, it was worth every penny." Haha. True. NOTE: the photos on this review are from my phone. The professional photos are not available yet. read more

I am so glad that we hired Crystal, Kaila, Jenn and the Amazae Events team to help plan my 60th birthday bash. I loved their ideas and they took my vision and made it a reality. All our guests were blown away by the food, decor, flowers, staff, music and all the extras that made the evening magical and spectacular. They really did make it all so easy, we got to just show up and enjoy our guests! Thanks to Crystal and the whole team- it really was a once-in-a-lifetime event and experience. read more

We hired Amazáe to help plan our daughter's high school graduation party . With all of the graduation events going on, we just didn't have the energy to plan a party, yet we still wanted to celebrate our daughter so we hired Amazáe to help. After only 2 meetings with Amazae, they determined our needs and designed a party that turned out perfectly . On the day of the party , the Amazae team was absolutely amazing . They were all professional, friendly, helpful, and most importantly self directed. Everything stayed clean and replenished. The guests had a great time - they loved the food ,the ambiance and the details - truly a well done party. Our daughter was thrilled which was really special. For once we were able to mingle ,talk and take photos- it was a completely different experience. I don't think We will ever be able to throw another party without Amazae. read more

If you're looking for an amazing team of professionals who can seamlessly pull off a beautiful wedding, Amazae Events is the team! As a past bride, I wanted to share this review to help future brides stressed about wedding planning. I highly recommend Amazae for your wedding - they were one of the best vendors we chose for our events! We hired Crystal and team for our big wedding in the Bay Area - they planned and designed both our pre-wedding (Sangeet) and wedding events back in Oct 2019! From my very first consultation meeting, I knew Crystal was the perfect planner for our wedding events! She is incredibly professional, warm, and has lots of experience with Indian weddings. I interviewed a few planners in the Bay Area, but Crystal's professional nature, expertise, and creative eye really stood out. A wedding planner does so much behind the scenes, and I honestly did not know the different flavors / types of wedding planning services. I had a couple other friends getting married during the same time as me (with different wedding planners) and it was obvious we were getting a truly unique experience with Amazae! It's hard for me to summarize all the wonderful things the team did for us, but see below for the key highlights of our experience: 1) Truly amazing at design! Crystal has such a creative eye, and I enjoyed all our design sessions with her. The team always prepped with beautiful ideas / sketches to help us bring our dream events to life. They produced a very unique Sangeet "bazaar" theme. We got married at Casa Real Winery and they designed the wedding / reception so beautifully! Our guests still tell us it's the most beautiful wedding they've been to. I still look back at the images and am so happy about how every detail turned out! I would say Amazae's greatest strength is their creativity and design. 2) The team would always prioritize client satisfaction! As any South Asian bride knows, planning a wedding for 300+ people is not an easy task. Crystal, Caitlin, and Nashley were always available to answer any last minute questions via text / call and were willing to problem-solve any issues along the way. They all go above and beyond to make sure the bride and groom are truly happy! For example, I mentioned early-on that I loved tulips; Crystal arranged to have tulips flown in from abroad to the wedding (which was such a nice surprise for me)!  3) Very organized and professional! Each meeting had a clear set of agenda topics and key questions. My fiance and I both had demanding schedules the year of the wedding, and Amazae kept us on track. Caitlin was great at always checking in to make sure we were on the right timeline - their team handled so many key projects (e.g., creating and mailing our save the dates, seating charts, working with all vendors, and handling any vendor issues). For example, we found out that our Sangeet venue did not allow outside caterers to use their kitchen only two months prior to the wedding! Crystal swiftly and efficiently handled this issue (without stressing us out) - it was such a relief to know all problems were always handled behind the scenes. During the actual events, the team worked so seamlessly to help me and my family remain stress free. They were so great at coordinating and communicating, so we could all enjoy! I am so happy we picked Amazae - they are a wonderful group of individuals who honestly put their clients above all else! Thank you Crystal and team for giving us a great wedding experience! read more

We worked with Amazae for our July 2021 wedding. I highly recommend the Amazae team for weddings and all your events! We had the most seamless planning experience, and that includes a year long postponement during the pandemic. Our wedding was an absolute perfect DREAM and Crystal and Caitlin and their team made all that possible. The Amazae team are the sweetest, most attentive and kind group of women! Could not thank you all enough! read more

I know this is a long read, but worth it! This review has been a long time coming, and in the spirit of being grateful, I want to start with how grateful I am for the Amazae team. I honestly don't even know where to begin as so many positive experiences run through my mind when I look back at my experience with Crystal, Caitlin, & the team at Amazae. When my fiance and I got engaged, I knew that I needed the help of a talented team to help us execute our wedding weekend (We hired them for 3 events). We live in Sacramento and our wedding was in the bay area. On top of that, we had about 400 guests and I knew that having help was a necessity! My fiance let me take most of the reigns on the planning which I was very appreciative of (he had his 2 cents in the music and food, so everyone was happy). When I met with Amazae, there was an instant connection. And sure, part of that has to do with the chemistry of personalities, but more so, I felt heard, I was being asked the right questions, I saw that they understood my vision, and I could see that they were very able to execute. For someone like myself, who likes to have control over everything, feeling this comfortable to allow them to take the lead was a big deal. I also knew that in order for everything to be efficient, I had to be ok with them handling all the coordination, and I felt 100% secure with their team taking the planning into their own hands (though I'm sure I had a few "moments" of eagerness, they never made me feel like I was stepping on any toes). Everything during the planning process was such a breeze on my end. I think we met a total of 4 times from start to end with few emails in between. In that time, we were able to review decor (minute details included), food, timeline, budget, deal breakers, etc. They handled all of the correspondence with every vendor and I hardly had to, if even at all, need to have any interaction. They coordinated EVERYTHING! I honestly feel as though having the Amazae as my team was the best investment I made for that whole weekend, such a blessing! When it came to the wedding weekend. I was blown away with how smoothly everything went. If there was an issue, I never even knew about it. I wasn't stressed at all, which if you know me, you know how anxious I can get in these types of situations, so that was huge, and it's a testament to how comfortable I felt with their team. I was able to fully take in the day and that was very important to the whole experience (they even coordinated locations with my hair & make up team in the AM-- They're extra!). When I say they got my vision, that was the biggest understatement. The decor was UNBELIEVABLE it was so gorgeous. They even added some extra touches to detail that just amplified the space that much more. I literally cried when I walked into the ceremony and reception halls and couldn't believe how beautiful everything was. They literally made my wedding dreams come true, and the best part, was that they made it so easy, and so streamlined. Pure perfection. These images don't do justice to the space, however, everything about my experience with Crystal, Caitlin, and the rest of the team was effortless, breathtaking, and memorable. I am forever grateful and can honestly say I have found new friends with this process. Thank you Amazae! read more

(Note: our wedding took place in February 2020, prior to the Covid shutdowns) My husband and I had a 2-year engagement and we both thought that was PLENTY of time to plan our wedding on our own. We were wrong. After attempting to juggle all the work of researching venues, communicating with vendors, scheduling meetings, dress shopping, etc., we were burnt out and overwhelmed. We even contemplated eloping. Finally, we made the decision to hire a wedding planner and we NEVER looked back. We did a ton of research on Bay Area event planners but with the recommendation of our venue, Casa Real, and our initial meeting with Amazae, we knew they were the one. The services they offered were EXACTLY what we were looking for: Event Design (to put our vision together) and Logistics/Coordination (to manage our vendors and coordinate on our wedding day). Most importantly, their team were total pros. They knew our venue inside and out, and had long-standing relationships with most of our vendors. We left our first meeting feeling SO relieved and also excited for what was to come. We worked with Crystal on Event Design and were so impressed with what she came up with! I shared my Pinterest board of all my wedding inspo and she drafted a booklet of what our ceremony and reception would look like. She gave options for things to sign off on, telling us how much they would cost us, and her recommendations. It was so good to have someone do this research and all we had to do was make the decisions! The execution on the day of the wedding was FLAWLESS. It was 100x better than anything we or Pinterest could have come up with! We held back tears during the first look of our reception because we couldn't believe how beautiful it turned out. It felt so romantic and elegant - everything we could have possibly dreamed of. Crystal is extremely talented and has an excellent eye for design. She is SO GOOD at what she does (words my husband and I said after every meeting!) and we couldn't be happier with how she brought our vision to life! For Logistics & Coordination, we worked with Caitlin and Amy. Prior to our wedding, Caitlin kept us on top of our deadlines and managed all of our vendors. This was a HUGE help because we no longer had to communicate with multiple vendors and remember payment dates - they took care of all of it! They were incredibly helpful during our final meetings with our venue and our rehearsal. On the day of the wedding, we had Caitlin, Amy, and Lisa as part of our day-of coordination team. Amy was with the bridal party and I for the entire day, and she had such a calming presence about her! Not once did I feel stressed or nervous. Her, Caitlin, and Lisa managed everything behind the scenes but kept it so calm, cool, and collected. They checked on us throughout our reception and made sure everything was flowing smoothly. At the end of the night, they handled packing everything up and let us enjoy celebrating with our family and friends. Without a doubt, they were the best team to have on our wedding day! If you are questioning whether or not you need a wedding planner, my answer is YES and to go with Amazae! It truly felt like a wedding gift that we gave ourselves. We were able to enjoy the months leading up to our wedding and our actual wedding day because we were well taken care of. Would 10/10 recommend and use them again for any future events! read more

We cannot say enough about the job that Crystal and Caitlin did for us in planning our daughter's wedding...it was magical! Their organizational skills combined with there access to reliable and outstanding vendors provided us with a fabulous result. 212 people at our house went seamlessly under their leadership! Their attention to detail combined with their overall experience led to a wedding that everyone enjoyed to the fullest and continue to talk about even a month later. Can't imagine a better team to put your trust in! read more

An absolute grand slam of a team! These ladies go above and beyond their call of duty. From the beginning, they were with me every step of the way. I'm so grateful of their efforts, dedication, and care. I could not have asked for a better group of ladies to help execute my vision of a dream wedding. To Maribel and the Amazae team: Thank you for making #6.22.19 the best day Jake and I could have asked for. You're the best! read more

I have been a client of Crystal's since 2010 (the time of my first review), and she has never disappointed. Since then, I have engaged with her on 10+ events. Crystal and her team at Amazae Events go above and beyond to make sure your event turns out as flawless as possible and goes off without a hitch. The main point of a planner is to make your life easier the day of an event, and they do just that. I've hired them for corporate, social, as well as my sisters wedding since 2010, and have always been able to enjoy myself as a guest would versus feeling like a host. She has great relationships with all her vendors, streamlining communication so that everything stays in order. Crystal builds relationships with her clients the same way she has her vendors. Over the years Crystal has become a friend, but puts her heart in each event the same way even if its that of a new client. The best compliment a planner can receive is a referral which converts to a client, and I've never had to go out of my way to refer her. Multiple friends of mine have seen her work at my events and hired her themselves based off that- which is an even bigger compliment than a pushed referral. Cant go wrong in hiring her! Open to any of you who want to speak directly as a reference. read more

Crystal and her team were outstanding. They have a deep network of vendors for every aspect of the wedding, and they know how to pull the overall day together in a way that makes sense and is stylish. Everything went off without a hitch and our guests had the best time. Getting Crystal's help was the right way to treat our special day. read more

This review is to worn all of the innocent people out there just getting starting on who you are wanting as your wedding planners. Here is my story. When my daughter got engaged back in January we were not " shelter in place". We were on cloud 9. So happy she got engaged. We did the usually, interviewing different venders and so on. At that time the guest list was 110 people. We figured we needed a wedding planner. So we went and interview Caitlin at Amaza'e Events. Everything went well got that warm and fuzzy feeling. Paid the first installment. Things were moving right along. Had a couple meetings. Paid another payment, then Covid-19 hit. Hero Ranch, where we were going to have the wedding ceremony and reception cancelled on us, still haven't gotten a penny back from them. (that's another store for another time) The rules for gatherings were changing from month to month, but we knew we were not going to be able to have all 110 guests. We were aloud only 25 people total. It made no sense having a wedding planner. When we explained that to them, that warm and fuzzy feeling turned ice cold. They have yet to pay back any of the money we paid, not even half. We understand that we wouldn't get back all the money we paid them, but when we gave them $5,000.00 for a few emails and suggestions you would think we would have gotten back half. So all of you new couples be weary. This wasn't us cancelling it was an act of god. read more

Let me start off by saying- If my husband and I could give more than 5 stars, we would! We just got married this past Saturday, 11/10/18, and I knew I needed to write a review ASAP. I have been fortunate enough to work with Amazae for about a year to plan my wedding. As soon as we walked in the door, we hit it off with Crystal in every way - her style, her personality, her thorough approach to things and the general way she made us feel like everything would be coordinated perfectly if we worked with her. And now that we've lived through planning our wedding with them, I couldn't imagine working with anyone else and we can confidently say that they were worth every single penny and then some! They did everything possible to make the wedding of our dreams come to life. Our wedding was 200+. It was VERY important to us for our wedding to meet our cultural (Mexican) needs as well. I was worried that our wedding planner wouldn't understand what we needed. Crystal knew EXACTLY what I wanted and made that happen! Amazae helped us with design, set up venue visits, reviewed vendor contracts, coordinated all the logistics with vendors and wedding party members, attended food tasting with us, held one last walk through of venue to review timeline, set everything up beautifully on the day of and kept everything on schedule, ran our rehearsal flawlessly, kept track of every single detail throughout the entirety of the process, and generally helped us with any and everything - all with smiles on their faces, high energy, and often our favorite drinks from Starbucks (or wine) in hand. Through the entire experience, it felt like we were working with family. Crystal, Katey and Caitlin- WE ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOU. We even fell in love with day of team members we had never met. If you are planning a wedding, do not hesitate to contact Amazae. After the wedding was over, my husband and I were actually sad we wouldn't be contacting her team nonstop on a daily basis. Amazae TRULY became our family. I cannot thank them enough for how beautiful my wedding turned out. We have received tons of compliments, and the success of our wedding would not have happened without them. read more

Crystal, Caitlin and Lisa of Amazáe Events managed and planned our wedding and did an absolutely amazing job! They were so professional and are extremely talented. They turned our vision and dream wedding into reality. Our decor and program was outstanding and we and our guests truly loved it! Their attention to detail is out of this world and we are so thankful to have been able to work with them. We highly recommend Amazáe Events to help plan your next major event! read more

I never thought that I needed a wedding coordinator, but looking back, there's no way I could have survived my wedding without Crystal. She was able to make my wedding as stress-free as possible, and that's no a small feat. She worked with all our vendors, making sure that all our contracts were in order and that all our vendors would be wherever they needed to be at the right time. She also planned out the entire wedding day starting from the time I woke up to when we were whisked off to our hotel after the reception. Some examples of her wonderful wedding coordinator skills: - She was able to corral my rowdy family and make them pay attention during the rehearsal at the church. - My then fianc spent months of hard work preparing our slide show. Thank goodness Crystal had backup copies since the first and second CD didn't work. I know that my hubby would have been so disappointed if we weren't able to show the slide show to our guests. - Crystal revealed to us (a year after the wedding) that our church was closed the morning on our wedding. Without Crystal there to chase down someone with a key, our wedding would have taken place at the St. John parking lot. I really can't imagine what my wedding day would have turned out to be if Crystal wasn't there working out the kinks and making sure that everything ran smoothly. I can't thank her enough for the incredible job she did. read more

I had never anticipated getting a Day of Coordinator for my wedding. I didn't think I needed one and I didn't think my wedding budget would allow for one, but after talking to several friends who had hired coordinators and me and the groom wanting to make sure we enjoyed our day (stress-free), we decided to splurge and hire Crystal, who was recommended by our photographer. Working with Crystal was easy which was a plus because planning the wedding for the West Coast, from the East Coast was hard enough. We emailed frequently, talked via Skype/phone and when I made visits to the Bay Area, we did meet face to face. Crystal was always organized, upbeat, friendly, professional and responded promptly to all forms of communication. Most importantly, she is on your side. She will do everything possible to ensure that you have a great day and she fights for you if something goes wrong with one of your vendors. She is in the business not for the money, but to make sure you have your dream wedding. In addition to hiring her for her "day of" skills, I also added to the package the Design Consultation because I had a lot of ideas what I did/didn't want and I wanted to make sure it all tied in together versus combining a whole bunch of random themes/ideas. Then from there, I was able to book the vendors I wanted (but I mostly booked the ones she recommended) and execute everything else, based on the vision that both she and I had for my wedding. She led the rehearsal and gave us adequate time for practice as well as asking questions and addressing concerns. For the day of, she was energetic, professional and a leader. Although there were a few hiccups that I learned about during the ceremony/reception, I didn't hear of it till much later that night and didn't notice anything at the time. Even my guests didn't notice anything out of place. For those wavering on the decision if they should hire a coordinator, from one budget-conscious person to another, hands down I would hire Crystal and have her work her magic so that your once in a lifetime, special day, is enjoyable for you and all your loved ones. read more

We cannot say enough nice things about the team at Amazae. They were the absolute best team in planning and executing our wedding in my parents' backyard.  It was everything and more than we could have imagined - their professionalism, attention to detail, support, guidance and positive energy was incredible.  We absolutely loved working with Amazae and they really made our special day (and the whole process) so easy for us and allowed us to throw the wedding of our dreams! read more

Crystal and her staff at Amazae are pretty amazing! She came armed with all of the tools she needed to record the details at the site walk-through. She presented me with a detailed design concept for my event that was so wonderful-lighting, decor, linens, floral- everything to complete my dream look and feel! She managed to make a whimsical event better than I had ever imagined! read more

I owe it all to Crystal! She literally made me feel like I was a guest at my own wedding. My wedding day turned out even better than I had envisioned it because of her expertise and professionalism. She is extremely organized and made me feel at complete ease during the whole wedding planning process, and my wedding day was completely stress free. I didn't have to worry about a thing. There is no way I could have made my dream wedding come to life without her. read more

WOW. Again. WOW. I worked with Crystal and her staff over the weekend at a very High end event, and she not only did a phenomenal job on the decor, but keep pace and helped the event run smoothly throughout the entire night. There were some decorative elements that I have never seen before, and were nothing short of stunning. She complemented the modern, sheik decor of the Clift hotel with beautiful table designs, centerpieces, and tea candle complements throughout the room. The pattern on the wedding cake matched perfectly with the linens on the table, which is something that tied the room together in a very cool way. ...and what a pleasure to work with. Easy going, cool headed, and ready to help with whatever is needed to ensure a successful event. Can't wait to work with them again... read more

Here I am again to write another stellar review for Amazae! I wrote back in June after my first daughter's wedding and had only good things to say. Now, after the second wedding I simply must ditto what I said in the first review. Obviously I was happy enough to hire them for not only one, but two weddings in four months and we could not have been happier! Crystal and her team navigated not only the normal wedding stuff, but also Covid and two sisters getting married very close together. Crystal was the picture of professionalism and she really understood our need and desire to keep things equal but different for each of our two daughters. She is just the best in the business as far as I'm concerned! Unfortunately I have run out of daughters, but if I ever need an event planner for anything else I will not look elsewhere!! read more

If you're looking for the best wedding/event planning team in the business, Amazae is your team!!! From the moment Crystal and I had our first meeting, I knew that we had the very best, and I am so thankful for everything that Crystal, Caitlin and the whole Amazae team did to make our day absolutely perfect! Since the wedding, our guests have truly been telling us that our wedding is now "the bar for all future weddings," and that's truly down to Amazae! We were planning from across the country and Amazae made the whole process smooth and painless. During the whole process, we never had to stress since we knew we were in the best hands! Every detail was perfection and I'm so impressed at how impeccably Crystal and her team turned my vision into reality! Not only that, but they new exactly what to do in order to make the whole day even more incredible than I had imagined! I had so many people ask me if I was stressed or worried and the answer was always, "No, Amazae has it so under control, I have no worries." They told me what to do when I needed to do it, gave me options, and understood my style and vision - I think even better than I did! From the very first virtual meeting with Crystal, I immediately was confident that we had the right team. One meeting, we were joking about all the things that can go wrong with weddings and all the horror stories you hear the minute you get engaged. Crystal made a comment that resonated so strongly with us. She said, "Those things do and will happen. Something will go wrong. Our job is to fix them and make sure you never know that it happened." And I can tell you, almost 3 months after the wedding, I STILL don't know of anything going wrong. That's how incredible Amazae is!! Whenever any of my friends get engaged now and ask me for advice, I tell them to hire a planner - especially Amazae! read more

Crystal Lequang and her team is pure awesomeness. After meeting with a few different coordinators, we decided on Crystal because of the professionalism as well as our comfortablilty with her. All great things have been said about Crystal already, but just to drill it in some more, Crystal has made a firm believer in me about wedding/party coordination and design. Planning a wedding was a really big project for us because we wanted it to be nice and we had a lot of guests. Crystal is highly organized and made the process as easy as possible. During our design meetings she had these amazing ideas that seem to pop out of nowhere. There would be no way for me to think of these details or vision. We felt so comfortable, we basically gave her free will to do her magic. She'd always confirm to make sure it was okay with us first though! There is a sort of calming aura from her as well. During stressful times of the planning process, an email or phone call from her would make us feel at ease. I think it's the professionalism and confidence. She won't allow things to falter and wants the event to be what you envision and more. I would recommend anyone to definately check out coordinators and try to fit it in your budget. It will make the process easier and cohesive. I've been to events where Crystal has setup a bunch of different vignettes and they can probably fit the vision you are looking for. I kind of hope I have another big event to plan just so I can work with her again! read more

Crystal LeQuang, Nashley Villalvazo, and Christina Tran are all wonderful event professionals! My daughter was married this past weekend in San Francisco. We consulted and contracted with Crystal, who clearly has years of experience and knows exactly what she is doing, and worked through the planning details with Nashley. Christina joined Nashley to assist on the wedding day. The ceremony was about a mile from the Reception. Each venue had the same start time for set-up, so they had one person at each location to ensure they were prepared and executed as planned. I was a nervous wreck going into the last month of planning. Even though we started planning a year in advance, the wedding was quickly upon us. No worries though, Nashley took over finalizing details with the timeline and vendors. And, it was seamless! I work in the wedding industry, and being on the other side of things is no cakewalk. However, I was able to truly enjoy the weekend, starting with the rehearsal and ending with the day after the wedding, when I had to follow up on an item a guest left behind at the venue (quickly found and returned, by the way). I was actually able to enjoy every single moment of the wedding and reception. Nashley came to find me when I was needed for a dance, or cake cutting, etc. All I had to do was be present and have the time of my life. I applaud this team for their professionalism, dedication, creativity, and general industry smarts. They are absolutely wonderful, and I am grateful beyond words to have had them on our side. Guest feedback was amazing, my daughter and her husband are completely thrilled well beyond expectation, and I am truly without the proper words to express how wonderful of an experience this has been. It was perfect! Thank you Amazae! I have always recommended you to others (both wedding couples and corporate groups), and will do so even more now. You were amazing! read more

Absolutely worth meeting Crystal face to face to see if she's a good fit for your event planning! I emailed with Crystal, and our wires crossed over what I was inquiring about. I got frustrated, and replied that I was frustrated and she sent back an EXQUISITELY empathetic and professional response. What was I confused and frustrated about? They don't do service menus or price ranges. They do every package (and price) customized to the couple's planning needs. This does NOT mean Crystal does not take on modestly budgeted weddings. If you're worried about that, contact her anyway. A big part of wedding planning is grace under fire and negotiation and problem solving, and Crystal gave every indication in our final exchange that she has those qualities in spades. I found another planner I am excited to hire for a variety of reasons, but I thoroughly recommend interviewing Amazae's team. read more

I don't think I can say enough about Crystal and her team at Amazae Special Events. She is simply the best! From the moment my fiance and I met her, we knew we wanted to work with her for our wedding. We both felt like we had a close friend planning our wedding which was such a calming influence. One of the best things when hiring Crystal is that you get HER from beginning to end planning your wedding. She let us know this at our first meeting and boy did she mean it! She responded to each and every e-mail of mine directly...and I know I probably pushed it with all of my late night e-mails but she responded quickly and with all of the information I needed to answer each question. Crystal has a long list of fabulous vendors that she has been working with directly for years. So you know when she recommends someone, that they are going to be just as amazing as she is. Crystal also makes things happen and I truly mean that! She gets things done the day of and you don't even have to bat an eyelash. My fiance and I didn't worry about a thing on the day of our wedding and just got to enjoy being Mr. and Mrs. and have fun with our guests. Hiring Crystal will be the best decision you make during the wedding planning process! My now husband and I are so thrilled we did and consider Crystal a simply wonderful and beautiful person to have been a part of such a special time in our lives. Cheers to Crystal and her team! read more

Where do we even begin to express how magical our wedding was, thanks to you all at Amazae Special Events! Each and every one of you went above and beyond to ensure our special day would be filled with magical moments to be cherished forever. You certainly took our desires and requests to heart making the entire event feel like a fairy tale. I felt like a princess from the moment I walked in your door. I knew that my Prince Charming was equally attended to! Our worries and distractions faded away as you set our spirits at ease. We were relaxed and carefree throughout the experience and beyond! The day could not have been more perfect. The extra care you took and the time you spent on every detail was very evident as the time flowed smoothly. Thank you for allowing us to personalize our wedding and for being flexible with our requests. Even in our most extravagant dreams, we could not have imagined such a romantic and more perfect day! Not only were you the Dream-Makers for our wedding, you helped set the stage for our lives together accenting romance, fun, and tradition, as well as a spiritual connection with God, and each other. Thank you so much for your passion and dedication! We appreciate what you did for us and believe in the power of True Love and living your dreams! Thank you Dream Makers for making our dreams come true! Crystal, you're the BEST!! read more

I don't want to sound like a broken record, or like I don't have an original thought in my head...but I do truly believe Crystal and her crew are AWESOME! When my wife originally told me she wanted a wedding planner/coordinator, I was a little reserved. I wasn't quite sure if it would be worth the money and I'd planned large events before so I thought it'd be a piece of cake. Boy was I wrong! Crystal brought in a very calming presence during a stressful time. I guess I didn't realize how stressful getting married was with all the different parts. It's like a living, breathing, jig-saw puzzle...and Crystal is a puzzle master. I will make this a short and sweet with a list: 1. Crystal and her staff are very friendly...and during the meetings at her office she would give me pink lemonade! 2. If you're debating getting a planner, Crystal is well worth it. She gives you different perspectives and ideas for your event if you have no clue what you're looking for. Not to mention, the day of coordination is a must have. Without a doubt, everything went smooth because of Crystal. 3. Crystal is well networked with vendors. I would strongly recommend Crystal. It was almost like having a close friend with you during one of the most hectic and stressful days of your life. She was always calm and reassuring. Good luck in the future Crystal! read more

Had an opportunity to work with Crystal while consulting at Carmel Valley Ranch and she was simply terrific - on point, very professional and most of all, just a really good person to work with. I am both a hotel consultant (travels all around the country) and a professional event planner myself and I love supporting and recommending amazing planners who understand the true meaning of service. Brides can definitely trust Crystal and her team with their wedding planning and execution. read more

I was referred to Amazae Events for our wedding through the event coordinator at Carmel Valley Ranch and cannot express how appreciative we are for their recommendation. Crystal and all of the Amazae team put on a FANTASTIC wedding for us. Having read the many raving reviews on Yelp I felt confident they would help us plan a beautiful wedding, but their professionalism and talent at event planning went above and beyond our expectations. WOW -they are great at what they do! There are so many reasons for giving this company a 5 star Yelp review! All in all we had a very tall order with our expectations, large bridal party and quick timeline to put together a 200+ person wedding, yet this team executed everything flawlessly! First the planning process with Crystal was extremely organized from start to finish. From our initial phone call (free consultation) I was impressed. This is clearly a well run business from their website, social media and overall planning presentation. They gave us everything we asked for including an absolutely stunning party tent that wowed us and our guests. Secondly, there is a great deal of client care that is evident with the entire Amazae team. Whether speaking with Crystal, Caitlin or Reena we always felt that we were in great hands. Lastly - and most importantly- their execution is terrific! All of the last minute details and questions were handled wonderfully by Crystal and her team. We even witnessed them fix 'problems' seamlessly being that I brought a faulty wedding arch that we discovered wouldn't work on the Rehearsal day. By the day of the wedding, Crystal and team surprised us with a stunning arch that fit into the style of the day and I never thought twice about it. So many people have commented on how beautiful it was and we loved how it was a surprise! This event planning team handles any issues and last minute surprises with such poise and grace. Crystal even drove us to our hotel suite at the end of the night realizing we needed a quick lift back. From being wonderfully organized, to fixing any potential planning issues quickly, and keeping our day fabulous and worry free -- not to mention being a valet-- Crystal was spectacular. We'll be using Amazae for any big events going forward! :) read more

So I posted on 3/21/2015 regarding my planning experience with Crystal and her staff. My initial review ranked her at 4 stars with a caveat that since the actual event had not taken place yet, that I would revise my post following the event. Somehow, Amazae was able to remove my post from Yelp which motivated me to post again. In summary: My experience with Amazae was not great. From the rest of the reviews it appears that Amazae does large weddings really well. When I asked Crystal if they handle smaller events (70-100ppl) she assured me that they do but like the other reviewer (whose review was conveniently moved to the "do not recommend" reviews) it felt like my event was not just big/important enough. The cons: - Crystal was not willing to get her hands dirty, when i asked whether her people would be willing to pitch in and possibly pick up some plates, or pass our champagne Crystal indicated that I needed to hire staff to do that (i.e., her 3 staff people would not be able to pass drinks if the service people i had were tied up doing something else) -Crystal's people were in charge of getting ice refill at the 7-11 which is about half a block away from my home. My event ran for 2.5 hours; Crystal and one other of her staff LEFT my event for 53 MINUTES DURING MY EVENT (I know because I have her leaving and entering the premises on my video cam). I couldn't believe it - she left the event while it was on and it was very unprofessional. I was blown away that she would just bail like that. I expected her to send one of her staff to get ice and come back (10 min tops) and I just couldn't get over it. The pros: - To be fair the party went reasonably well, there were no disasters so that was good - Crystal brought an extra staff helper (1 person) to assist her at no charge Net - Net: I am sure Amazae excels at large events and weddings but if you have a smaller event - go with someone else. These guys are not the type to chip in and help out if needed (which is what a you need at a smaller event since you are spending $$$ on them!). Amazae focuses on delegating (and leaving!) - so my advice is pick someone else for your small event. read more

If you want a fabulous, stress-free wedding with miles of style, attention to detail, and personalized service, look no further: Amazae Special Events is for you! My now husband and I reached out to Crystal at Amazae after getting the run around from a destination wedding planner who specializes in weddings in Cozumel, Mexico. Our plan was ambitious. We wanted a customized wedding and reception on the beach in Cozumel for our 60 guests to enjoy after stepping off our cruise ship. Because our wedding was planned in port on the 3rd day of our 4 day/4 night cruise, we needed someone would be there to handle every last detail without us on hand. Initially, we contracted with another planner who could not deliver the personal touches we expected and whose attitude made us very uncomfortable. After calling Amazae to try to add their design experience to our wedding, we quickly realized that Crystal was the one for us and we broke our contract with our original planner, forfeiting $1K. Not only did Crystal save us from our first planner, but she found us a new ceremony and reception site that was beautiful, had amazing food, and a terrific staff! That decision was well worth the money we lost and we did not regret it for a second. All you need to do is check out their website under destination weddings to see their beautiful work on our special day to know why we were so pleased. http://www.amazaespecialevents.com/photo_gallery_cozumel-mexico.htm Crystal and her team went above and beyond, helping us both with the design and coordination. She took our vision and brought it to life. Her and her team spent several days in Cozumel before our arrival attending to every detail, dealing the challenges of working in Mexico, and making sure that we would have a wedding to remember. If you are planning a wedding and want it to be uniquely yours, call Crystal right away. Our only regret is that she was not the first person we called. Thanks, Crystal! We will always remember your efforts! read more

Words cannot express our gratitude for Crystal and her staff! Crystal guided us through our CA wedding planning process and connected us with amazing vendors while we were out of state in Oregon. Our entire wedding day was absolutely incredible and more than we could have ever hoped for. Crystal made everything so seamless and easy. Her hard work, patience and impeccable taste make her marvelous at what she does. On the day of the wedding Crystal had everything under control. It put both my husband and me at ease so that we could enjoy the day. Our families continue to talk about what a wonderful time they had and how stunning the reception was. Now I feel like we need to plan an anniversary or birthday party to create the fun all over again. We're so sad it's over! We would not hesitate to hire Crystal for any future event. read more

I never knew how much I would need Crystal and her staff until I really needed them. We used Amazae for our romantic, rustic backyard wedding. It was a smaller garden wedding with 130 guests. I felt completely taken care of every step of the way - maybe it was that hug the first time we met with her. She made my family feel like Ohana. Crystal and her team had no problem not only meeting with myself and my now husband but also my parents which was extremely important to me prior to booking with them. My wedding is a day I wish I could relive every month. To this day people still tell me how much fun they had and how beautiful everything was. The decor, the ceremony, the flowers, our sparkler exit (our last name is Sparks ) and the overall romantic feel. It was dreamy. Her team helped with everything - gave me feedback and options. My family and friends didn't lift a finger. Everything was taken care of by the amazing staff. Our Wedding was in October 2016 and in February 2017 my father was diagnosed with ALS and this was the last time I was able to dance with him. He now is in a wheelchair and using a walker in the house, he has difficulty with getting around. I look back at the fun we had that day and cherish every moment. The memories from my wedding day are unforgettable and because of the exquisite work of Amazae I can truly say I loved every part of my wedding. Thank you so much for all your hardwork and dedication to making our wedding the one of our dreams. read more

See all

I chose Amazae to be my wedding planner for my wedding a year before my wedding started. All I can say it wow.! When you hire Amazae you are hiring a true professional company that handles everything from start to finish. They went above and beyond what I expected them to do. When we had a question about anything, they were there to answer it. When some of the venders and venue were bombarding us with questions, Amazae was there to take care of it all. Crystal and her team are true professionals and I cannot be more appreciative for what they did for my wife and me. I would hire them again in a heart beat to plan an event or special occasion. If you hire them, be assured they will have your best interest at heart and make sure your event is as special as it can be. Thank you again Crystal and the Amazae team! read more

Hiring Crystal turned out to be the best decision I made during the entire process. It was truly refreshing to work with someone who is so professional, organized, efficient, and thoughtful in her work. What I liked best about working with Crystal was that she is personally invested in each event she plans; she goes above and beyond to ensure that the event runs smoothly and beautifully and that everyone - including (and ESPECIALLY) the bride and groom - can enjoy the special day. I initially retained Crystal for day-of coordination services for my September 6, 2008 wedding, but she ended up being so much more than a day-of coordinator. Crystal helped me throughout the entire wedding planning process, from answering etiquette questions, to recommending vendors, to accompanying me and advising me during visits to linen rental companies, to independently meeting with lighting companies and designing the lighting for our event (which was spectacular), to providing design advice, and even creating our escort card board. She has fantastic vision and, through her creativity, was able to completely transform our reception venue from a very typical, somewhat unattractive dining room in a Chinese restaurant to an elegant, intimate space - our guests, many of whom had been to the restaurant before, were blown away by how amazing the room looked. I was very impressed and appreciative of how much work and attention Crystal devoted to our event - it truly reflects her investment in creating a beautiful event, no matter what the effort. Because of Crystal's help, I had no worries or concerns on my wedding day - I was able to enjoy every moment, confident that if anything came up, Crystal would take care of it. Our wedding and reception started and ended exactly on time (even our 10 course Chinese banquet came out according to schedule, which is AMAZING for a Chinese restaurant), and I was blown away by the site designs that she had helped create in coordination with our florist and lighting/linen rental companies. Her demeanor throughout the entire event was calm and professional, never frantic or stressed - it was a pleasure to have her with me throughout the day. I am admittedly a control freak, and I think it speaks volumes that I felt completely at ease in entrusting my wedding day to Crystal and that I was able to completely enjoy the day. I recommend her without reservation. read more

Wow! We could not be happier with the experiences that we had with Amazae in planning our wedding. The number one question that we got on our wedding day was, "How do you feel? Are you stressed?" We proudly answered "We feel great!" every single time. This is due entirely to the amazing Amazae team. They had every single thing covered from start to finish. From our first meeting, Amazae made us feel at ease and that all of our wedding desires were going to be achieved. To be honest, we were quite a picky pair, always wanting to see additional ideas, quotes, images, etc... Not once did Amazae falter in their dedication to us .They provided us with countless options, advice, and did all of these things with a cheery disposition. Planning a wedding can be quite intimidating. There are timelines and checklists to be aware of. Amazae brilliantly kept us on schedule! We were given countless reminders and opportunities to make decisions ahead of time so we never felt like we were doing anything last minute. It was such a relief to be on track and to be able to monitor our progress through updated checklists that Amazae would send. During our planning, we had a few close friends also getting married at the same time. We would use each other as a sounding board in terms of what we had done and what was left to be done. After all of these conversations, we felt relieved at where we were at with Amazae. We would either be on par or way ahead of the planning game with our peers. Being prepared alleviated any potential stress that could have been lingering around. Now to the wedding day. This is where Amazae truly shined (not that they didn't shine leading up to the event... this is just where they kicked butt)! Given our venue and set up, Amazae was around in the days leading up to our big day. They worked around the clock meeting with vendors, checking in with the florist, coordinate with the church, etc... All of the minute details that we had worked on over the past year were magically before us. We were absolutely blown away at how GORGEOUS everything was. It is one thing to see your choices online or through designs but to see the real thing... it was truly breathtaking. Our wedding day was the best day of our lives! We did not have to worry about a single thing. We were kept on schedule, gently reminded about when to move things along, and had an overall sense of ease and peace throughout the day. While there are many examples of Amazae's prowess, this one story shows how truly blessed we were to have them by our sides. Being a nervous bride, I wanted to make sure that I had deodorant handy whenever I needed it throughout the big day...just in case :). I gave this to a team member the day before the wedding. This team member had it for me during the entire wedding day and once her night was done, she passed it along to another team member and made sure to let me know that I was still covered! While on the dance floor, close to midnight, I was able to call upon Amazae! Such a small but important example of the attentiveness that Amazae showed us throughout the entire process. We could go on and on about how Amazae was there for us in planning our wedding! But, to sum things up, deciding to work with Amazae was the best decision that we made. Not only are they a rockstar professional team, but they ensured that what we wanted for our special day came to fruition. No matter how far fetched or unique an idea seemed, Amazae was there to make it happen. We feel blessed and grateful that we made the decision to work with Amazae. They are amazing! read more

Every girl grows up dreaming of the day they say "I do". But not every girl grows up thinking of how the day will logistically come together. Thanks to Disney I always thought a Magical Fairy God Mother would come my way and poof the wedding would happen. Fortunately for me, I was able to find my Fairy God Mother in Crystal! She was simply better than anything I could even think of. She took the 1000's of ideas and photos into consideration and translated everything into our perfect day. It was truly amazing to see the day come together. The team from Amazae was so helpful and made me feel like family from the first day. They brought a level of comfort on my wedding day because I knew that the logistics were in their capable hands. The level of detail in their work is simply remarkable! Amazae is really amazing! Any bride would be more than lucky to have them! read more
