We hired Ashley to be the day-of coordinator for our wedding, but she really went above and beyond…read moreher call of duty. A full two months before the wedding she was working out our wedding timeline with us via google doc. Her template made the whole crazy event seem manageable and organized, and allowed us to solidify the schedule of our wedding day quite precisely. Throughout the time leading up to our wedding, she helped us plan seating arrangements, procession order, and worked with our caterers (ArtQuest Catering) to organize their role within the schedule. Over a week before the wedding she sent us a to-the minute timeline of the day, and worked with us as we tweaked it right up until the day before. Despite being, as I mentioned, our day-of-coordinator, Ashley literally ran our rehearsal session the day before the wedding. She was on site before we arrived, took us through every step of the ceremony schedule, made sure everyone knew what they were responsible for, coached us our walking speed, asked pertinent questions, etc. On the day of the wedding, she seemed to be everywhere at once, managing what was a pretty complicated, orchestral event. We were not the easiest clients- our wedding was packed with a ton of tiny specific events, like surprise serenades, and a very short window for sunset photos, and a rock performance that included the bride and groom. Ashley was there through it all making sure we knew where we were headed next, that we were on time, and properly hydrated. Seriously, we were super stressed planning for this wedding, but on the day it happened everything went so smoothly and that was in large part to the care and precision and professionalism that Ashley brought to her work coordinating the day. Thanks for making our wedding day easy and worry-free and fabulous.

Amazing, Great and Outstanding! That's my description of the customer services I received from…read moreAshley. From the date I hired Ashley she was kind and super helpful with the overall planning. She shared her recommended vendor's list for transportation, draping, music, floral designs, etc, which helped me A LOT. She was so nice she even planned a surprised slideshow with the Maid of Honor and Mother of the Bride, providing them with additional options and suggestions based on her expertise in the area. Best decision ever, was to hired Ashley Mayo and her team ! I email her about 50 times (not kidding LOL), and every time she was nicer, polite and her responses were always on time!. She made the planning process a lot easier because she is without a doubt a Subject matter expert when it comes to weddings. I met with her about 2-3 times, explained by vision of my dream wedding and she was super responsible providing timeline, suggestions, contacting vendors, coordinating set up with the venue a few weeks before the wedding, in other words making sure everything run perfect for the day off. BEST PART... I did not worry at all the Day Off the wedding! She had it all covered, I was able to enjoy our wedding, decoration was set perfectly, all vendors were on time, she was even able to provide the final envelopes with payments to vendors so I didn't even have to worry about that. Ashley brought her assistance and they both made our day incredibly beautiful. Adore Wedding design team were polite and nice to our guest and I just want to THANK Ashley and her assistance for her services. So, if you need to hire a wedding planner, you should definitely contact Ashley.

We had an amazing wedding thanks to Linnie from A Hundred Hearts and we couldn't be more happy. We…read morewere totally lost with all the things that go into planning a wedding but Linnie patiently guided us through all of it. I think she really went above and beyond even what we paid for and I really appreciate her for that. Despite all the stress that can come out of the planning and the pressure of the actual event itself, Linnie was a huge source of peace of mind for my wife and I. I would recommend her to all soon to be married couples planning a wedding, from the couples that don't know where to even start, to the couples that know exactly what they want.

We're so happy that we picked Linnie of A Hundred Hearts to be our wedding coordinator! All…read morethroughout the process, Linnie was very responsive and organized. She is clearly very experienced in wedding coordination with thoughtful guiding questions, expert advice, and great connections. She is a joy and very pleasant to work with, while making sure to keep everyone on task and your drink of choice in your hand on your wedding day (if you partake). Linnie was our coordinator in June 2024 at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park - Kijamii Overlook. We selected the "day-of coordination" package, but Linnie's service was so much more than just the one day, as others have mentioned. In addition to coordinating on the day of the wedding, the service came with an initial planning meeting, monthly e-mail check-ins & advice on questions, a month-of meeting, regular e-mail exchanges the month-of, a rehearsal run through, and decor set-up & breakdown support. Working with her comes with a very thorough checklist and a website of resources. She also makes your detailed timeline, day-of task list, and checks in with all vendors the week of your wedding, and more. She has even more comprehensive packages where she does even more! On top of all that, her pricing was competitive compared to others in the area, especially for getting such an incredible service. If you do select her, tip her well if you can since her work is worth every penny. I believe that our wedding was as smooth as it was because of Linnie's support. I highly recommend Linnie and A Hundred Hearts!

Just her overall energy and knowledge was impeccable. She truly has an eye for all the details. We really loved using the Aisle Planner she offered as a part of her package. All her recommendations for vendors and things to add to enhance our big day were amazing! Any time I had an idea, concern, or anything, she was there for us. Throughout the whole year leading up to the big day, she truly became a part of our family. Our day was picture perfect and seamless. She ensured I had not a single thing to worry about and was always a step ahead, which I appreciated. Whenever I have an event in the future, I will be sure to use FRE again. Thank you so much to you and your team Suher! We loved working with you.

Hiring Kristi with Everlasting Events was truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding…read morereception. From our very first call, Kristi stood out. She was engaging, easy to talk to, and immediately felt like someone I could trust. After that first conversation, I told my fiancé how much I liked her and that I really wanted him to speak with her too. By our second call, before we had even officially hired her, Kristi had already started pulling ideas for where we could host our reception based on what I had shared with her just a few days earlier. She was already thinking ahead, already listening, and already on the job. Originally, Kristi was only supposed to help us with the reception details, but she ended up helping with so much more. She connected us with my makeup vendor, helped with our florist, gave us hotel recommendations, and provided a list of vendors for our reception cake. She also wrote out our wedding day timeline and coordinated with our media team on vendor meals and our shot list. She truly went above and beyond the scope of what we originally hired her for, and I am so grateful. She made our day absolutely perfect. I planned a very intimate wedding reception, and because it was smaller, every detail mattered. I had a clear vision for the evening: elegant, personal, coastal, romantic, and beautifully styled without feeling overdone. Kristi understood that vision and brought it to life so perfectly. When I walked into the reception space, I was genuinely blown away. The décor was stunning, the table looked beautiful, and everything felt like what I had imagined, but better! Our guests kept commenting on how gorgeous everything was--many even took home some of the decor Kristi had put together. Leading up to the wedding, Kristi was incredibly helpful, organized, and communicative. We are based in Scottsdale, so much of our planning happened over email, and she was always responsive, clear, and steady. She helped coordinate with the venue and vendors, kept track of details, and made me feel like someone had a handle on all the moving pieces. But where Kristi really shined was on the wedding day itself. She was basically my shadow throughout the night, in the absolute best way. She was always nearby without ever being intrusive. She made sure I ate, made sure I had what I needed, and kept the evening moving without making me feel like I had to manage anything. I had been very clear that I wanted an espresso martini at my reception, and when I walked in, she walked me directly to the bar and put one in my hands. It sounds like a small thing, but on your wedding day, those little details feel huge. It made me feel so cared for. She was also an amazing point of contact for our vendors. I did not have to answer questions, solve problems, or worry about what was happening behind the scenes. Kristi handled it. The entire night felt smooth, calm, beautiful, and completely intentional. I cannot say enough good things about her. She took my vision seriously, executed it beautifully, and helped make our wedding feel perfect. Every bride deserves someone like Kristi in their corner.

Kristi with Everlasting Events was outstanding and exactly the kind of person you want on your…read morewedding team. From my perspective as the groom, one of the biggest things I appreciated about Kristi was that she just handled things. She was communicative, confident, and decisive. She did not second-guess herself, and when something needed to be addressed, she addressed it. That made a huge difference for us. Before the wedding, we had an issue with the venue taking too long to process our credit card, which caused unnecessary stress and even got flagged by the bank. Kristi stepped in, followed up with them, and made sure it was handled correctly and more timely the next time. She was not afraid to be firm when the situation called for it, and I really appreciated that. On the wedding night, she was just as helpful. When it came time to settle the bill, she stood with me and the vendor, pulled out her calculator, and took the time to walk through the costs, fees, and tip so we knew everything was correct. She made sure we paid properly, tipped appropriately, and understood what we were being charged for. Kristi was professional, organized, and calm under pressure. She made sure the night ran smoothly, kept the vendors coordinated, and allowed us to actually enjoy the reception instead of worrying about logistics. I would absolutely recommend Kristi and Everlasting Events to anyone who wants someone who knows what they are doing and will make sure things get done right.

I cannot say enough good things about Coastyle Events. The way Jillian and Ashley run the business…read moreis very professional, but they also make you feel like you're their best friend. Jill handled my wedding and a good portion of the design, while Lindsey (who has since left Coastyle to spread her wings) was my amazing coordinator. I went with just the "month of" coordination after I had gotten the ball rolling on my own on all of my big decisions - venue, caterer, photographer. This was a good fit for me because I'm great at starting things, but terrible at finishing them, so the girls at Coastyle were LIFESAVERS!! I would absolutely recommend their services to anyone who needs a couple extra helping hands in their wedding planning. Hiring a coordinator was the best thing I did. I got a few extra brains, ears, eyes and hands on my project and they completely succeeded in making my vision a reality and minimized the number of headaches I had to deal with throughout the process.

Everyone one knew what they were supposed to be doing and where to be, which led the event to be produced flawlessly. We also had her and Jillian design our wedding theme/decorations. Jillian is so creative and can make just about anything you need! They helped us pull off an elegant vintage sports themed wedding...I know sounds out there, but it was amazing and totally us. If you are getting married in San Diego you need Coastyle Events to coordinate and produce your magical day!

Keep in mind, I'm writing this as a freshly minted groom as of July 6, 2013…read more.. I'm nothing more than an average male. For some reason, my now beautiful wife agreed to marry me. Before she said yes to my proposal, I never dreamed of how my wedding would look or what food would be served to our wedding guests or what I'd wear. I assumed we be visiting a justice of the peace. When the now wife said she wanted a fairly traditional wedding, I tried to encourage her to try a DIY wedding. We'd book a venue, we'd book a caterer, a DJ, a bartender, buy the booze, find someone for decorations, find a florist, etc. I didn't want to hire a wedding planner...probably because I disliked that J-Lo movie. After writing down all of the things we needed to arrange for to pull off a proper yet contemporary wedding that would satisfy my Chaldean family and her American family, we both felt overwhelmed. Even though my better half is very organized (me, not so much), we still were feeling extremely insecure. We were drowning under "what ifs" and "should wes" and "do you thinks." Frankly, as time ticked closer to summer, we became more lost. Our only accomplishment was booking a ceremony and reception venue on the date we wanted. The then fiancée happened to walk past an event being held at our reception venue about four months before our date. We were both still reeling under the chest pressure of trying to create, plan and pull off our day. When she looked inside, she was floored by the look, smell, sound and feel of the venue. With some pushy prying and some happenstance, she met the event planner, Lauren Lisker, that night. Later that night, I was told tales of Lauren's talent and we met with Lauren and her Joie de Vivre parter, Erica, for an interview. Both women instantly struck me as being confident, experienced, classy and completely organized. More importantly, neither of the two women gave off any vibe like they were running a for profit business. They both were sincere about wanting to make our wedding day special. They were patient with us, which was important, as we didn't have a large budget. And even though we told them our below average budget, they didn't laugh at us, flinch or find a way to leave the meeting early. They never made us feel ashamed. They said they would find a way. We hired them and Lauren sure did find the way! Lauren is probably the most thorough, most organized and most wedding industry connected person I will ever have the chance to meet. She ushered us calmly and creatively out of our self induced wedding pressure chamber onto an organized pathway to the perfect party. She was so calm that I wanted to check her for a pulse or add her as a closer on my fantasy baseball team. She responded promptly to emails and phone calls and made us feel like she was working only for us even though we knew she had other clients at the same time. Lauren always had options for us. She never told us we couldn't do something. She always found a way to make it work, within our budget, and to our liking. Most importantly, Lauren was always gracefully glowing, happy, positive and encouraging. So much so, that after it was done, our bridesmaids told me my bride showed no signs of pre-wedding stress at all. I owe that to Lauren being there and being ready for anything. I can't write enough good things about Lauren Lisker and Joie de Vivre without sounding like I'm on their payroll, which I'm not! From the groom's perspective, if you're thinking about a DIY wedding that's more than a simple backyard affair, don't. Hire Joie de Vivre. They kicked ass! They did such a good job that I may have cried a couple of times at my wedding and my buddies from work probably won't let me forget about it for the rest of my career. Thank you, Lauren! You are great at what you do and you are an incredible person!
