From the moment Victoria stepped in after my original planner had to withdraw, I felt like I could finally breathe again. What could have been an incredibly stressful process turned into something I truly looked forward to each week. Our planning chats became such a fun and creative outlet for me, and she understood my vision so completely that every mockup she showed me blew me away. As an anxious, type-A bride, having someone so responsive and reassuring (even answering late-night texts) made me feel fully supported throughout the journey. On the wedding day, Victoria went above and beyond in every way. She was there for every moment, literally helping me with dress changes and jumping in to smooth out any little inconvenience before I even had to ask. She even thought of things I never would have, like packing two extra meals for me to take home (because she knew I probably wouldn't eat enough that day) and making sure our cake was wrapped and delivered so we could enjoy it after the wedding. Thanks to her, I was able to be completely present and stress-free, and our family and guests kept telling us it was the best and most well-planned wedding they had ever been to. I'll always be grateful to her for not only bringing my vision to life, but also for caring for us so thoughtfully every step of the way. read more

To those who are reading this review, I'd first like to congratulate you on your engagement! Secondly, your search for a wedding planner stops here because Victoria is YOUR GIRL! Victoria is talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before... (basically, she's the entire Lady Gaga meme). I looked into a wedding planner shortly after booking our venue, as things started to feel 'real' and were moving quickly. I had a tons of ideas in my head but didn't know where to start when it came to tying them together. Outside of ideas and aesthetics, plans/vendors/contract agreements seemed to keep changing, and changing, anddd channgginnnggg due to COVID. Hiring Victoria gave us the peace of mind we needed during such stressful time and truly felt like a wedding gift to ourselves. From our intro call to our wedding day - Victoria was extremely prompt, friendly, organized, diligent, and a total rockstar! She was able to take my ideas and translate everything perfectly into the big day. Victoria's thoughtfulness and experience with design, contracts, vendor communication, venues, scheduling/timelines, and her overall feel for the industry as a whole, sets your wedding day up for success (seriously - her scheduling skills are unreal. I don't know how she perfectly designed the day-of to encompass everything we wanted - but she did it and did it seamlessly). I'd hire her for future events and parties in a heartbeat! read more

We had Victoria as our planner for our May 2024 wedding and were very pleased with her services! From the very start, she was super helpful throughout the vendor selection process, since she had personally worked with nearly all of the vendors we were deciding between and was able to provide a fuller picture of the services provided by each. She also personally reviewed the vendor contracts and, when necessary, worked back and forth with the vendors to add in additional clauses that would help protect us, the clients. Throughout the designing stage, we were blown away with the proposed design elements Victoria put together and felt very comfortable in trusting her to help make our vision for our big day a reality. You know you're in good hands when your planner shows up to the design review with a literal wagon full of candles and fabrics! She was also able to leverage her contacts to help us commission a custom escort display for our guests, which was something we would have been clueless on how to even start without her assistance. Unfortunately, about a week before our big day, we were dismayed to see rain in the forecast. Victoria did an amazing job of providing us support and validating our frustrations over the circumstances while still being able to pivot a number of our plans around the impending forecast and still make the day beautiful. Had we had to deal with that by ourselves we would easily have been overwhelmed and spent a lot more time crying! read more

Victoria, A huge, sincere thank-you for creating our perfect wedding and making it the best day of our lives. We couldn't have pulled off such a magical event without you and your terrific team. Thank you for your patience, flexibility, and quick responses throughout our whole wedding planning process. You listened to what we wanted and delivered in ways we didn't even know existed. We are eternally grateful :) read more

IIf you're looking for a coordinator who is organized, experienced, and possesses good communication skills, then hire Victoria and her team! From our initial phone call, I knew I wanted Victoria to be my month-of coordinator. I needed someone who could handle a large wedding which entailed 200+ guests and two ceremonies at different venues. She is great at keeping you on track during the planning process and communicating with all of your vendors. My wedding was a big success and my guests gave me many compliments on how smoothly it went! read more

Victoria and team kept the wedding reception I DJ'd running so smoothly!! I was DJing that night. It was such a joyful reception!! She handles so much and she did it with ease. That puts all of us at ease. When I know that the coordinating/timeline/events of the evening are looked after I am able to focus on the music and entertaining everyone. It was such a joy to work with a team who was so well prepared and thoughtful. I highly recommend them for any other couple. She even called me the day of the event to confirm the earlier load in time and my non dairy meal preference! I really hope I get to work with Belle Events again in the future!!! Thank you read more

I'm a natural planner and I had big dreams of planning the wedding myself. Things started getting stressful and I wasn't having any fun...so we hired Victoria and her team to help lift the stress. I was looking for someone who would partnering with us in bringing our vision to life. Victoria and her team delivered on our ask and many levels beyond our expectation. It's been a month , and we are still getting calls from our guests about how much fun they had, how beautifully everything was presented and how smoothly everything went. During the planning phase, she was extremely helpful in reviewing our vendor contracts for accuracy and completeness. She was a savvy negotiator and advocate for us with our vendors. She made great recommendations as to the flow of the ceremony and even menu selections. She was an expert advisor which helped us stay within budget. . The week before the wedding I gave Victoria the reigns so I could focus on my guests and prepare for the wedding. She made wise decisions on our behalf and checked in often to make sure we remained in sync. When difficulties came up, she was calm and ready with at least 2 great solutions before I had a chance to worry. We put our trust in her hands which give us the ability to really enjoy our wedding. I highly recommend Belle Events & Co. read more

Working with Belle Events & Co was truly a godsend. Victoria was amazing. I had planned the initial parts of my wedding myself and realized it was getting to be a bit too much to handle and I needed help. I searched Wedding Wire for a day of coordinator and came across Belle Events & Co who handles full planning and day of coordination services, and the rest is history. Victoria was very pleasant to communicate with throughout the entire process. Our initial phone conversation was very professional as she outlined her pricing and details of the services that go into day of coordination (which is actually 30 days leading up to your wedding date if you didn't know). But trust me, you are so going to need it!!! I had a good feeling about Victoria because she just had good energy and I felt that she was trustworthy to handle our special day. Once we decided to go ahead with Belle & Events the whole payment process was so easy. We signed the contract and payments were set up on a monthly basis leading up to the big day. Leading up to the big day, Victoria was always easy to get in touch with if we had any questions or concerns along with any tips and advice to guide us in making some decisions. She was really great at helping us to stay calm, cool and collected during our moments of fluster and overwhelm. Victoria helped us to establish and organize our wedding guest list and website, seating/floor chart, as well as all our contact information for all our vendors. Victoria was always on time for all our scheduled meetings and met with us at our venue for our food tasting. She came with her notes all ready, examined the venue thoroughly and gave her thoughts on set up as we planned linens and such. She is just as awesome in person as she is handling business through zoom meetings and phone calls/texts. My now husband and I truly felt that we could breathe a bit during that month leading up to the wedding. Which is crazy to think right? Since you'd probably think that you'd be even more overwhelmed with the wedding day approaching but we felt we were in good hands the whole time. Victoria helped us with designing our venue and getting in all the last minute details all the way down to the candles and signage. She also worked with us to plan out the timelines for both ceremony and reception which gave us a clear big picture of what the day would look like. She made contact with all our vendors making sure everyone was on the same page. Victoria was very detail oriented with everything! When it came to our wedding day, everything was executed beautifully! She coordinated all the vendors, her team was prompt and professional and helped to set up both ceremony and reception venues and the day seriously flowed beautifully and effortlessly. If there was any behind the scenes drama, we didn't feel a thing because she was on top of everything. Even post-wedding she finalized some details and helped us to handle a few snags we hit with some vendors but she helped us to resolve all issues even scoring us a refund! We felt we could relax! Look no further for your wedding coordinating services, Belle Events & Co is fantastic. You're going to be so happy you decided to work with Victoria! read more

Wow! Victoria was nothing short of phenomenal. She was always on her A game, and ready to lend her expertise to the bride. Unintentionally, two videographers, from two separate companies showed up at my sister's wedding. Without wasting a breath, Victoria stepped up and took care of everything for us. She saved the day on several occasions and made the day for my sister effortless and truly incredible. I am super impressed by her and could not recommend her enough. Bravo! read more

WE. LOVE. VICTORIA. When searching for a wedding planner, we really wanted to find someone that understood us as people. Victoria took the time to do that from the very first phone call. Rather than asking about budget, venue, or other details her first question was "What is your love story?" I know we had found the person that would help us tell our story. We chose Victoria as our planner just over a year before our wedding. Victoria set us up with a roadmap and checklist right off the bat, and we were able to track our progress with her along the way. She was extremely organized and communicative and would answer every silly question we had by email or text with her contagious optimism. We had our wedding at Kennolyn Camps in Soquel, CA, for a summer camp weekend. Putting on an entire wedding weekend is no easy feat, and Victoria showed her excitement to help us plan from the start. She thought through every logistical detail to make the wedding go off without a hitch and guess what, that's exactly what happened. She had a way of finding out what we truly wanted from our big weekend. She'd ask questions that would get us to think thoroughly about our wants/needs, and she'd provide suggestions based on who we were as a couple, and not just what others had done before us. Victoria puts in WORK. She was a great help with vetting, choosing, and securing vendors, all of which were so incredible on the wedding day. From hair and makeup to photography, and even finding an alternative to videography that worked without a budget. After Zoom calls, we would feel like we had our own personal action items to take care of and all the while Victoria was calling vendors, communicating with the venue, setting up day-of timelines, researching photographers to set up interviews with us, finding the desert of our dreams and a million other tasks that we would not even think of. We were amazed at just how well she was able to keep our big weekend ask together, doing a lot of the difficult groundwork so that we could focus on enjoying the process and weekend. Victoria was incredibly detail oriented and had great suggestions for stationary, decor, and the sweetest personal touches. She even created invitation inserts that included a map and itinerary that were so cute to include for guests. She helped us make our dreams of rehearsal dinner karaoke come true by recommending a way to DIY it (which worked perfectly). When we started feeling any stress at all she was there with solutions to help ease any and all anxiety we may have had. Working with Victoria over the year and a half was so great and she made the wedding planning process really fun! Friday, Victoria was ready to command a rowdy bridal party for our rehearsal. She took control while keeping things fun and organized. During the rehearsal, she took in feedback on how the party would like to walk in and adjusted her plan to our needs. She even made sure our officiant felt good about his speech, making sure that he knew not only his cues but exactly what he needed to say. After the rehearsal, everyone felt ready for the big day. On the day of the wedding, Victoria showed up ready to rock. She was responsive to our texts and checked in on us as we got ready. Her assistant knew Victoria's vision for the day and helped to set everything up in a timely matter. Victoria made sure that we got our cocktail hour hor de vors during our post-ceremony photo shoot (along with a glass of wine), made sure we were where we needed to be for our reception entrances, the dances, and the speeches, and even hunted us down in the middle of the reception to make sure we were ready for the garter and bouquet tosses. We would have been COMPLETELY lost in the chaos of the wedding day without the help of Victoria and her team. Not a single thing was out of place, nothing was missing, and we were able to FULLY enjoy the day of the wedding without feeling stressed about the event itself. It was a dream, all thanks to Belle Events. read more

My cousin hired Victoria for her wedding and we have nothing but wonderful things to say about Victoria. She is super organized, thorough, patient, and makes everything simple and easy to understand. She went above and beyond all expectations and was very proactive throughout the entire process. We felt that she elevated every aspect of the wedding and provided amazing service throughout the entire wedding planning process. During the reception, multiple people approached us to let us know how organized, helpful, sweet, and personable Victoria is. I highly recommend Belle Events & Co! read more

Victoria is a masterful wedding planner. Thanks to her, planning our large Indian wedding went from feeling overwhelming to being extremely manageable. - She recommended, communicated with, and managed every detail across all of our vendors - from florals, to food, to entertainment. - She communicated with our parents as needed throughout the process to capture their needs and input. - She gave us clear decision deadlines to keep everything on track in a way that worked for our schedules. - She came up with creative solutions to keep costs within our budget without sacrificing quality. - She was calm, caring, and fun to work with at every turn. - She managed all of the day of details to ensure everything ran smoothly. I don't know how we would've pulled off the wedding without her expertise. I cannot thank her - or recommend her - enough. There is nothing she cannot do! read more

I recently worked with Victoria and her team for a recent wedding as a vendor. She was very organized with the timeline and had everything ready for us to do our set up at the time we arrived. It is so great working with wedding professionals you can trust to help bring everything together on a big day!!!! read more

Victoria was an absolute dream to work with, she was super responsive, friendly and helpful throughout the whole process. I was a macaron vendor for one of her weddings, and she was well organized, prompt and her designs were on point! She contacted me well before the due date, and sent a reminder email closer to the date. I really appreciate that, because I get busy and it's nice to have someone reach out again. I'm sure that as a bride, you would get the same treatment. I highly recommend Belle Events & Co! read more

Belle Events, led by Victoria made our wedding incredibly special and memorable. She helped tremendously with all aspects of the planning and organizing and even went so far as to help with small extra things. Like managing relationships with family and was a great buffer, remained level headed the whole time. I highly recommend her and think she has found her calling. 10 out of 10! read more

I was the musician/D.J at the wedding on June 25th 2021 and as soon as i got to the wedding for setup i was greeted by her assistant Kelly and helped me with my load in and even had water and snacks for me ! Victoria was so professional, the wedding went so smooth her timeline was very detailed and the wedding couple was so happy at the end. It was so fun teaming up with Victoria to make the wedding special for the newlyweds. I highly recommend them ! read more

Working with Belle Events & Co was amazing! We hired Victoria as our month of coordinator for our wedding. She was so well organized and extremely helpful. She had all resources we needed to help navigate through that month leading up to the wedding. There were so many things we didn't even know we needed to do or things we just didn't know how to accomplish and Victoria was there to help answer and solve all of them. The month before our wedding was definitely when things were starting to get stressful - finalizing everything with the decorations and all the vendors. Having Victoria take over all the vendor side of things and help with everything else saved us from a lot of last minute stress. For the actual wedding weekend, I cannot say enough what an amazing job Victoria and her team did. All I had to do was bring everything I had put together to the venue and they took care of everything else after that. She was able to put my vision together and everything turned out exactly as I had pictured. Not only did none of us have to worry about anything the day of, but everything went so smoothly and was so amazing. After the wedding everyone kept talking about what a great job Victoria and her team had done. I highly recommend Belle Events & Co for you wedding, our day was perfect thanks to Victoria and her team! read more

Victoria & team are so so so professional! I was the DJ for their event on 10/10/21 at the gorgeous venue Carneros in Napa. They impressed me from the first moment and had the venue turned from beautiful to stunning. I was impressed with how much attention and time was put into the decor. The events of the day ran smoothly, despite there being many moving part. Definitely a testament to the Belle Events planning. Looking forward to serving love alongside the Belle team again soon! read more

Victoria & Kelly are such a pleasure to work with. As a photographer, communication is key and Victoria was on top of it before the big day, she reached out to me with a very detailed timeline and it helped me navigate the day knowing when and where to be for the formalities. Both Kelly and Victoria gave me proper communication and information the day of, everything was perfect and the bride & groom were beyond happy! Strongly recommended. read more

We recently worked with Victoria and her team for a wedding at Tehama Golf. She had good communication, thorough, and a pleasant to work with! read more

Belle Events was amazing! Victoria was such a pleasure and a pro! She is such a warm and kind person, but also so organized and on the ball, which is what we really wanted! She drafted a detailed 17 page timeline of events and managed all the vendors so that we didn't have to! There are always things that come up on the wedding day, and Victoria managed them effortlessly so that we could just enjoy the day. If you are looking for a wedding planner, look no further. She is perfect! read more

Victoria did an amazing job helping us to put on an exquisite wedding for my daughter! She thought of so many beautiful touches and thought through all of the details. She listened and pivoted to meet our wishes, and was cost conscious as well, giving many options. She handled any challenges with professionalism and grace, very impressive. She is easy to work with and makes it fun too! Highly Recommend!!! read more

Victoria made our wedding day absolutely perfect! In planning she was so organized and such an incredible communicator, I really got to feel like she listened to and created exactly what I wanted. If I ever was concerned a vendor didn't hear me she made sure everything was perfectly clear. I was a very picky bride and even made some last minute decisions and Victoria handled it flawlessly. For example, we weren't going to be announced then I asked her last minute if we can and she made sure it all went perfectly. Even as we took photos she was behind me making my dress look perfect. To every last detail Victoria showed up! I heard the advice from everyone that something is going to go wrong on your wedding day, I truly believe it is thanks to Victoria that I can say everything was absolutely perfect! I will use her for any event from here on out and am already giving raving reviews to my loved ones looking for planners for their weddings. I can't express in words enough how much having such a reliable person was so important on our day. She also was great at handling emotions and keeping me calm through the whole process. My pastor got covid a week before the wedding and I called her immediately, she assured me it was all fine and he'd be good by then and I felt myself calm. Of course he was and our ceremony was perfect. The day of my groom and I felt lots of feelings to say the least and she called each of us to check in and even came to the hotel my bridesmaids and I were getting ready at which was quite out of her way before going and getting our venue ready. She asked me if I want any specific photos, I felt overwhelmed and asked her to help me because I wasn't sure and she said with confidence "I got you" and I'm sure she helped me get everything I could possibly want pictured to remember our day. I can go on and on about how much Victoria was one of the best decisions we made at the beginning of our wedding planning. To put it simply if you want a perfect wedding hire her! read more

I cannot sing Victoria's praises loudly enough! Everyone says that planning your wedding is one of the most stressful things you'll do, but Victoria made it so seamless and fun. Most of our planning was during COVID times, which made budgeting difficult given higher prices for flowers, overbooked venues, etc. But Victoria took over the ordeal of finding us vendors within budget but who will deliver everything we wanted. Anytime we started deciding things outside our budget, she would find other places to trim so that we could come out at the end within budget. I am positive she saved us thousands of dollars compared to any version of a wedding I'd plan alone. She and her team even took over design projects like our beautiful seating chart for guests to find their tables! On the day of, Victoria pointed the vendors in the right direction, made sure everything fell into place, and made it so that I didn't have to even think about the logistics of the wedding on the day. Victoria was always discrete, patient, and communicative. read more

Victoria was our month of coordinator for our wedding in June. My previous coordinator notified me around two months before the wedding that she could no longer assist us because of cancellation issues due to COVID. This induced quite a panic, but Victoria swooped in and really saved the day. She went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. If you are looking for a wedding planner or coordinator, look no further. Victoria is truly a professional and was completely prepared for any scenario, she contacted every single vendor and even family members who were helping out, made sure the seating chart was perfect with her CAD designs, had great input on venue setup, made excellent suggestions for the timeline, found me so many vendors in San Diego, asked vendors questions I would never thought of myself, and made sure I completed all my tasks leading up to the event. Victoria also wore many hats during the festivities, for the rehearsal she even subbed in as my MOH and during the wedding she helped me change into my second outfit! The best part of the entire experience was at the end of the super long day, I didn't have to lift a finger, everything was packed up into my car within 10 minutes. This is invaluable when you are completely exhausted. I am so grateful for Victoria and her assistant Kelly, without them I would have been a ball of stress. Every single person kept raving about how organized and helpful Victoria was and how the event went so smoothly. If I could do it all over I would, hiring Victoria was one of the best decisions we made for the wedding and her attention to detail and level of service is in a league of its own. Our wedding was a blast! Thank you so much Victoria! read more
