Ann was also very helpful on the day of the wedding as a coordinator - she made sure that everything ran smoothly and that I didn't have to worry about working with the vendors. It was such a relief to just be able to enjoy the day! Basically, she is a pleasure to work with and will be as involved or as laid-back as you desire. I wanted to take a pretty firm hand in a lot of the decisions, but have Ann take care of some of the details. She came up with great ideas for table cards, seating charts, and lots of other things. I highly recommend her!!

I was waiting for something to go wrong, some lag time to happen, a communication hiccup between vendors, but it was flawless and everyone commented on how organized and smooth the wedding went. Originally, being somewhat type A and over-organized, I tried to convince my fiance that we could handle the planning to save some money. I thought we would only have to create an itinerary and divvy out some responsibilities to family and friends. WOW, was I off my rocker!!! I cannot imagine trying to organize and facilitate the wedding day (let alone organizing the vendors prior to the wedding). Seriously, you NEED a wedding planner and Aileen and Liz are AMAZING! I would pay 5x what their already competitive rate is. Do yourself a favor and at least set up a meeting with Prestigious Planning. You'll thank yourself later.

Aileen & her team did an amazing job with our wedding. From the beginning (we hired her a year & a…read morehalf before our wedding date) she was absolutely amazing. Her team went above and beyond our expectations. We weren't sure if we would need a wedding coordinator but we are so happy we found the perfect fit with Aileen & her team. Before the wedding she went over every detail down to the minute and made sure we had everything timed out before we did our walk through at our venue and communicated with all of our vendors and hotel to make sure everyone had the information needed for the wedding. I didn't even have to lift a hand. She assisted with loading/unloading our wedding items and getting them to the venue for both our wedding rehearsal & wedding. She was fabulous in running our rehearsal. Although our wedding was in SF and some of the wedding party got stuck in traffic she had a calming aspect to her. We had no reservations and did not worry about getting through our rehearsal. She ran our rehearsal without a hitch and made sure we went through everything I wanted to. On the wedding day, she was there early with her team helping set up and making sure everything was going smoothly. She kept us all on schedule throughout the whole day of the wedding. Her and her assistance helped with everything including setting up of our escort cards, floral arrangements, ceremony site & everything at the reception. She made sure everything flowed smoothly and took care of everything. My bridesmaids, family and I enjoyed our wedding day. Aileen & her team did not leave until everything was put away and she kept me in the loop with everything. We are so glad we found her. Our wedding would not have gone as smoothly as it did without her. We love her and would absolutely recommend her to ANYONE that needs coordination for their wedding or any event. She is fantastic! We are so appreciative for all of her help!

I have gone to several of the yoga events held by downward drinking dog and I have enjoyed each of them immensely. Pat and Lori, the two "cofounders" of the group are awesome, and perhaps that is why these events draw such a cool crowd as well. Also, there's beer and yoga, so if you like both of those, you're pretty good in my book. So far I've been to events at Strike Brewery and Hapas Brewery (a new brewery in San Jose - such a cool venue), but they are branching out to other locations and even a distillery in Santa Cruz in a few weeks! Totally a fun event for a weekend afternoon. The yoga is great for all levels, and it's a great way to try out some locations you might not otherwise know about. Totally try it!

So SV Exotics did us a solid by letting us know ahead of time, giving us a plethora of other options, bringing an extra car, and giving us money back. Their manner of apology and service was perfect.

Almost a year later and people still ask me where we got the Buick blue convertible for my wedding procession. Thank you SV Exotics for everything

Finding a good wedding coordinator can be hard to find. They not only have to listen well and…read moreunderstand the vision of the bride and groom but they also need o execute of said vision on the biggest day of the couple's life. I'm so glad to say that Despina did all that and more for our wedding! We didn't really have a clue of what we wanted our of a coordinator; we just knew that our budget would be a leading factor to whom we chose. I talked to a few people and every other vendor didn't seem to fit. Once I reached out to Despina, I felt a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. Fortunately my now husband was involved in the planning but I needed someone who could give me advice and little nuggets of wisdom along the way. After meeting with Despina, my husband and I knew we were all going to make a good team. She listened to what I and my husband wanted, she helped us stay within our budget, and she was generally a great person to be around. She didn't restrict the number of meetings/conversations we had which made the whole process flow smoothly! Despina also did a fantastic job of managing all the little details of our wedding. I plan events for a living but there were quite a few times I said, "I'm so glad you thought of this!" She also did a great job of keeping in close contact with us to ensure we was sticking to our own schedule. She provided lots of ideas to managing the laundry list of things we needed to do. She also gave me suggestions on how to motivate my husband to get crafty by hand-making our table numbers--brilliant! Despina was even around to meet with other vendors to ensure they were aligned. She then took the initiative to manager them all. Such a HUGE help especially because we found out one of our vendors was less savory. On the day of the wedding, we felt everything went perfectly. Pictures showed us that everything was set up just as we imagined. Elegant, rustic, and simple. Our family and friends raved about how well everything was organized, and we thank Despina for making our dreams come to fruition. Even after our wedding and honeymoon, I met with Despina to recap the day, hear her perspective on how the day went, and just to catch up--she's truly a lovely person to know. I would highly recommend Despina for any event planning but weddings seem to be her niche. She's such a pleasure to work with and she's a master organizer. Thank you so much, Despina! Can't wait to catch up again!

I contacted him in February regarding a DJ for my wedding on August 27th in Bodega bay. DJ Andy whom I put a deposit on back in February has proved extremely untrustworthy. All my emails often bounced to him, he provided inconsistent pricing with inconsistent policies, and it took him over 4 days to send me a sample of his work. Six days before the wedding, he claimed that he couldn't do my event unless I paid in full for his services, even though he'd previously agreed to be paid on site the day of. He then lashed out at me, claiming I was a scammer and refused to show up for my wedding unless I gave him all the money upfront. I believe he was attempting to scam me out of my money. He claimed he didn't know where the venue was, even though I sent him all the information upfront and even included him in a mass email to all the vendors for the event that had a full schedule break down. I was 6 days away from my wedding, and had no DJ. He made a bunch of promises about being a projector screen, so I spent 2 and a half days on a 1.5 hour photo slide show, and gave him the full breakdown of our first dance songs. I had a bad feeling about him, so the other week when I was trying to pay all the vendors, I sent the rest of the payment I owed him to the coordinator for her to make a cash envelope for him. I knew I couldn't trust him, and I so wish I had booked someone else. I will be leaving reviews wherever I can to prevent this kind of stress from happening to another bride. 6 days from the wedding... Unbelievable. I also found Ron's initial communication to be extremely unreliable. It took him over a week to actually get me in touch with DJ Andy. I really should have known better...
