She brought my vision to life and was the whole reason my wedding day went as smoothly as it did. It truly felt like I (to an extent of course) was a guest at my own wedding since all I had to do was get ready, walk down the aisle, and get some pictures taken! I can't recommend her enough.

If you're like me, you enjoy your spreadsheets and multiple calendars. I was skeptical to consider…read morehiring a wedding planner in general because 1) weddings are expensive and 2) I am an organized person, so I thought we did not need one. SO BELIEVE US WHEN WE SAY HIRING BRADIE WAS HANDSDOWN ONE OF THE BEST DECISIONS WE MADE IN OUR WEDDING PLANNING. We interviewed a couple of other folks, but we knew Bradie was our person RIGHT AWAY. She is warm. She knows how to navigate complicated family dynamics and she is culturally competent (we are both Mexican-American with extended family and also had lots of queer folks at a Catholic Church, which is not an easy feat). Bradie is great at her job, including her timelines, her checklists, her ability to track every contract and vendor down, her day-of emergency bag, and her ability to advocate for the couple and keep spirits high when it gets stressful. Bradie always responded to my MANY questions quickly. And, it rained on our wedding day, but Bradie was prepared. She worked with our venue and redid the whole seating chart just days before so that all were dry. Bradie made the day a lot less stressful, a lot more smooth, and ultimately a lot more special for us and for our friends and family.

We contacted Events By Wallace as they had done some things for us in the past (before my time). Let me tell you...Bonny was a dream come true! She planned out everything, catering, tent, balloons, centerpieces, etc. The event went off without a hitch! 5 Stars, but would rate higher if I could! Thanks Bonny!

I came to Darlene to help me with my wedding at Boa Ventura WInery in Livermore this past July and…read moreshe was such a rockstar! She made my wedding feel so special and the whole event went perfectly! We even went through so many changes as my fiance was being deployed so the wedding date changed, and she was able to get all the vendors to be able to work my new wedding date. She really was a treat to work with and worth the money! Thank you Darlene!

I hired Naureen to be my event planner for my daughter's party. She handled everything so well that…read moreI fully intend to use her again. She took care of everything including the venue, the food, and the decorations. I was especially impressed with how she worked with the venue and caterers so that we could get the maximum value for our money's worth and still be within our budget. Our guests were delighted with the results! She also put a lot of thought into the decorations and I was just really pleased with her overall effort. I would definitely recommend hiring Naureen for your next event. She is very considerate and thoughtful and really pays attention to detail.

Kristan made all our wedding day dreams come true! The day was absolute perfection, and it's all…read morethanks to her. We had to postpone a year because of Covid, and the extra planning really paid off! My husband and I have attended plenty of weddings, and I've even worked behind the scenes at one or two, and I've never gotten to go to one that ran so smoothly. Everything we planned, all the little details and documentation and extra treats for our guests, it all went off without a hitch! And everybody had such a wonderful time, including us :) Usually at weddings, it seems like the bride & groom don't have time to eat or dance or talk to their guests, but we got to do all three, and have beautiful photos & videos taken with our friends and family and guests, because Kristan scheduled everything out so beautifully. The whole wedding day, my husband and I just kept marveling to each other that everything had gone so well and so smoothly, and how genuinely PERFECT the day was! At the end of the night, she helped us with our exit, and we couldn't stop thanking her for making our night so perfect! We really couldn't have asked for a better partner - the smile on her face made us feel like she was just as happy for us as our own family :) Other than our wedding day, I also have to mention how incredibly stress-free the weeks leading up to the wedding day were! The week of our wedding, I mostly just took my dog to the park and went for hikes with our friends and family who were in town for the wedding. Kristan was cc'ing us on all the confirmation emails to vendors, but to be honest, I barely read them because I knew she had everything in hand haha! She had us make all the major decisions weeks and months ahead of time, so by the time we got to the bridal shower, rehearsal dinner, and wedding day, there was nothing left to do but enjoy our time together! She knew exactly what we wanted, and she made it happen!!

We had a great experience working with Kristan and Cora Bella! Kristan helped us to plan our…read moreCalifornia wedding when we both lived across the country. I cannot imagine planning our wedding without Kristan's coordination and support. Most of our planning was done remotely and Kristan was able to capitalize on the times when we were able to make it out to California. We had an especially difficult time finding a wedding venue, but Kristan really helped us to figure out what was important to us and she was able to navigate difficult situations with potential venues. Kristan also helped us to find an amazing vendor team and she helped me to articulate my vision. Kristan's vendor relationships and industry contacts really are a testimate to her skill as a planner, because we were able to create a fantastic vendor team full of such kind, and creative people. On the day of the wedding, I was able to really just sit back and let all our wonderful vendors work their magic. As a bride, I wasn't stressed out at all! So much work goes in to planning a wedding, but Kristan navigates all of this with professionalism, clear communication, and efficiancy. I wouldn't change anything about how our wedding turned out and I'll be recommending Cora Bella to all of my California friends who are getting married in the future.

My husband and I first met Renee at a Brides and Basketball wedding fair in 2011. She followed up…read morewith us a few weeks later and we set up a meeting consultation to discuss our wedding needs. We did meet with other flower vendors but none compared to what Renee could provide us. She is super nice and helped us a great deal with planning out our flowers, since my husband and I aren't so knowledgeable about flower arrangements. I am such an indecisive person myself (as a bride, not good!) so she was a great help during the planning process. On the day of the wedding, she dropped off the bouquets at my hotel suite and I was amazed because they were so beautiful! My bridal bouquet was exactly how I pictured it, and the bridesmaids flowers were great! The altar flowers were beautiful as well. She didn't just cover all of the flowers for us either...she also provided the chair covers at our reception for a great price! We're so glad we booked Renee for our flower needs. We definitely recommend you look into her services for your wedding! Thanks so much Renee for being a part of our special day!

I am so lucky to have had Tiffany's help, and with only 5 weeks to go at our first meeting, she totally put my mind at ease and helped with all the important details down to the last minute. On the wedding day, everything was so seamless, and my husband, myself, and my guests had an AMAZING time (much to my surprise, I really thought I'd be too nervous/stressed to have that much fun, but that was the most fun I've had, ever)! Lots of our guests commented on how smoothly everything flowed, and how everyone stayed entertained. I didn't have any other extras to entertain guests (ie no photobooth, candy bar, etc) and everyone still had an awesome time. Tiffany was very flexible with meeting times, etc. Arrived super early with an assistant to take care of setting up decor, and totally made sure that I could stay relaxed and worry free. She took care of any last minute issues very quickly and efficiently, so all I had to do was party all night long. Tiffany is very personable, honest, reliable, patient, professional, and talented. She did an amazing job and I recommend her without a doubt!

Mother Nature had another plan though. On the week of the wedding we found out it was going to pour rain the day of the wedding so our entire plan had to change just days before. I was devastated to say the least. We were so frantic trying to find someone to pipe and drape for us, but the ones we reached out to were either booked or so expensive. Our DJ pointed us in the direction of Events by "E" and I am so glad he did. She went out of her way to make it work for us and at such an amazing price. She was able to completely pipe and drape the entire music hall and transformed it into the most beautiful room I've ever seen. She even hung lights for us in the bar. It was MAGICAL to say the very least. I wanted to bawl my eyes out when I saw it. It was so pretty. I cannot recommend her enough! She had great communication and flexibility. I am so thankful for her!
