My mom…read moreand I kept saying to each other "Seriously...thank god for Lindsay" many times leading up to the big day. Lindsay completely understood what our goals and intentions were for the wedding vibe and style and she knew how to best make decisions that were aligned to that vision. She kept us focused on what needed to get done by when, which I greatly appreciated! Even when I was slow to reply back to emails, she would follow up and keep us on track. Her timeline and ability to spot details were amazing. She caught several issues with timing and worked them all out with all the vendors to make sure the day ran smoothly. Her timeline for the whole wedding weekend made us feel so organized. One of the best things she did for me was, she reminded me when some things were not my responsibility to worry about for day-of. That made me feel supported and allowed me to really enjoy the moments day-of rather than scrambling around trying to get things done myself. I highly recommend going with 13Thirteen Events for your wedding! Lindsay is so nice, enjoyable to be around, and will make your dream wedding day come to life. I am so grateful for her! I was able to be present for my wedding and really enjoy each second.

Nope! You know that phrase "I couldn't have done it without you?" It was true every step of the way with Lindsay. She opened my eyes to details that were brilliant and beautiful. Her suggestions were thoughtful and based on her experience creating warm and welcoming spaces for guests to enjoy themselves and for her couples to sit back and relish in weeks and months of planning. What really made an impression on me was she stayed until all the rentals we're put away and ready to go...even tho we kept saying Lindsay, we'll finish up, you go home....she stayed and made the process seamless.

I am not a creative or crafty person, so when I became engaged, I was excited to be able to have a…read morewedding, but I wasn't excited about planning it or making decisions regarding it. I have zero interest in center pieces, decorations, timelines, flowers. I just wanted it to "look pretty" and for people to have a nice time. Thank goodness for Monica, the owner of Confetti and Glitter Events! I originally found Monica on Thumbtack, and liked how prompt she was in responding to my inquiry. She is also very affordable and reasonable in the pricing of her services. I initially hired her as my venue decorator, but then asked her to also be my Day of Coordinator. (these are 2 different things, so don't hire someone asking them to decorate, but then expecting them to handle your entire day and your entire ceremony and reception). She was flexible with her schedule when it came to meeting, and was prompt in her replies to emails and texts. Monica was very good about writing down the things I liked and didn't like, and was great about expanding on those things to find something that worked for me. She made all of my venue signs, set up and decorated the dessert table and guest table, all centerpieces and my sweetheart table. I didn't have to worry about a thing the entire day and night of my wedding, because I new Monica had everything covered. I was able to have a great time and focus on my guests, and she would guide me along if I needed to do something. I would recommend Monica for any party or event that you need planned. My husband and I were both very happy with her services, and will hire her again if we have anything that needs planning. She is very easy to talk to, and a sweet and professional woman. My photographer hasn't sent me my wedding photos yet, but when he does, I will post the work that she did :)

Kayla carried us through multiple venue changes, multiple DJ changes, and multiple caterer changes. She was absolutely pivotal in the planning process and frankly, if we didn't have Kayla, we probably would have eloped and not gotten the wedding we wanted. Kayla is one of the kindest, most compassionate, and wonderful people to work with. There's no doubt that Kayla cares about her couples immensely and will do whatever she needs to make things happen. I'd highly recommend Kayla to anybody and everybody. 10/10.

Those are such welcome traits for a wedding planner to possess! While watching her and her team setting up the decorations and details, it was obvious that they loved what they did and cared about the quality that was displayed while they did it. Were there any issues or hiccups during the wedding? I honestly can't remember, but if there were, the guests surely didn't notice because Kayla and her team took care of it before guests had a chance to suspect a thing! From what I understand, this business hasn't been around for that long of a time, but they've obviously taken the time that they have been around to learn ways to make sure their events are successful, and to me that's better than a company that's been around for decades and thinks they have nothing left to learn. I'm happy to endorse Simply Gorgeous Events. I'm now following them on Facebook (I suggest you do too!) and I look forward to watching this company make their clients happy while continuing to learn and grow.

We are forever grateful for having her help guide us through one of the most magical chapters of our lives that could have otherwise been incredibly overwhelming and stressful. Fellow couples having a destination wedding, look no further!!! To start, Kayla is truly a powerhouse of an advocate for the couples she works with and is responsible for making our wedding day be the most magical day of our lives. We know that without her, the wedding weekend we had and the circumstances of our wedding day wouldn't have been possible without her. We were so fortunate to have her in our corner through all of the ups and the downs through our 1.5 years of planning. Kayla is an absolute professional. Everyone always says your wedding day will not go perfectly and Kayla executed a 3 day weekend of events with very stressful weather concerns flawlessly while making it look easy and like there wasn't a stress in the world. I know that she protected my husband and I from so much stress and concern through our wedding and we are so grateful of the professional that she is. Kayla is organized, engaged and communicative. Multiple people from our wedding party from both budget and luxury end weddings have shared nightmare stories about their wedding planners being disengaged, uncommunicative and disorganized. However, Kayla exceeded our expectations in every area. She was communicative and responsive to both my husband and I through our entire wedding planning process and beyond, both as individuals and as a couple. She was engaged with our vendors and with our wedding planning. Also, as a type A bride with difficultly letting go of control, she was as type A organized as any event planner could dream of being and any bride could hope for! Often, the wedding planner is often forgotten or standing on the sidelines but not here - my family, wedding party and guests have been raving about Kayla since the wedding over two months ago. She kept a large bridal party focused and organized which is near impossible to do and helped everyone feel prepared for a chaotic weekend. So much so, the weekend was so calm and not chaotic for us at all. The things that could have gone wrong, didn't go wrong because of her and her alone. Kayla also made the wedding planning so fun for my husband and I from beginning to end. I have dreamed of planning my wedding for so long and it was very important for me to have a part in the planning process and not just be along for the ride. Kayla allowed me to walk alongside her through the process in a collaborative approach to wedding planning and not just be on the receiving end of decisions. Lastly, my husband and I both have strong personalities and opinions that often differ and she was patient, kind but also direct and honest with us. We needed someone who could provide us direct opinions and be transparent and honest through the entire process. She was able to do this exceptionally which furthermore describes how professional she is. We will be forever grateful to Kayla and the gift she has given to us of an incredible experience wedding planning and by allowing us to be a guest at all of our wedding events so that we could be present with our friends and family.

I'm very detail oriented and organized and even before I started wedding planning I didn't think I needed more than a day of coordinator and I was so wrong. My husband and I were originally getting married in Cancun Mexico in November 2020 but we had to postpone it to May 2021 but then travel restrictions forced us to postpone again and move our wedding location completely. We found a venue in San Diego we liked but they required us to hire a planner. By this point in the wedding planning process I was fed up and just wanted someone who could essentially take the lead and tell me what I needed to do. From the moment I had my first phone conversation with Kayla trying to find a wedding planner I immediately knew I wanted to hire her. Talking to her didn't feel like she was trying to sell me, she told me her whole philosophy and why she became a planner and how she works and how she grew and trained her team. She told me what was important to her and those things are what matched exactly what I was looking for in a planner. I could tell she genuinely loves what she does and is so passionate about being the planner that the couple needs. Kayla is the absolute sweetest but when she has to, she will lay down the law which is the perfect combination. She will have those honest conversations with you about your budget and if they matched your expectations and when those need adjusting. She also helped us stay on track in planning our new wedding in under 5 months. She made sure we were thinking about every detail and that we had a plan for everything. She helped us stay focused on what was most important to us, but she also made sure Sean and I were taking the time to still enjoy each other in the planning process and sent us some popcorn seasoning for a movie date night in. The month leading up to our wedding, it felt as though we were the only couple Southern House was working with and we're sure that is how every couple feels when working with Kayla and her team. Kayla accomodated to my busy work schedule and knew that texting and hoping on calls during my lunch breaks were the best way to get answers from me. She made sure all the major plans and details were buttoned up a week before our wedding so we could relax and enjoy the days leading up along with our wedding day. Kayla and her team exceeded our expectations on every aspect of planning and executing our wedding day. This day would not have happened if it wasn't for Kayla. Kayla went above and beyond. She worked with our other vendors and threw in extra surprises for Sean and I. Even though she wasn't there physically she was in constant communication with her team. Jessica, Jordyn. & Kellie were so amazing day of the wedding. They were so professional and executed everything perfectly. They were also constantly checking in with the bridal party making sure we had everything we needed and always answered any questions we had. Sean and I didn't have to worry about anything besides getting ready and enjoying our wedding day. We're so glad we had to postpone and move our wedding because in doing so we were able to work with Kayla and we had the best wedding day ever. It was absolutely perfect.

I found Aseile while interviewing local wedding planners in San Diego County, and right off the…read morebat, she was the most action-oriented person I spoke with. I originally had a chaotic, three-day vision for our wedding weekend out in the countryside of Valley Center, but Aseile had the foresight and experience to make it go smoothly. She jumped right in, being an ideal thought partner, making my "decision fatigue" a none issue. Up until the final venue walk-through, we actually did all of our wedding planning virtually for about 20 months. Aseile always responded with the perfect amount of urgency, recalling all weekend itinerary facts seamlessly. She made me feel like the only bride in the world. Virtual planning with her was completely stress-free, and as a bride with 3 jobs and a business owner myself, it was strongly preferred. Aseile brought a remarkable amount of experience and regardless of the amount of weddings you've been in, how many Tik Toks you watch - you cannot beat her timeline refinement. Her accuracy, flexibility, and adaptability ensured that our wedding day went off without a single hitch. On rehearsal day, we noticed that the venue opened up a new part that we could host the ceremony (news to us). Aseile had a new vision, and let me make the decision to stick to the original plan or make changes . She then executed on the plan - flawlessly. I can't wait to use her for all our future events. If you are looking for a top-tier wedding planner in the San Diego area who will genuinely protect your peace of mind, hire Glow Events!

Right away even from her intake form process, she was obviously a professional - asking key questions to get an idea of what we needed and whether she was a good fit. Every step of the way she blew our initial expectations out of the water: thinking of all the little details we hadn't thought of, building detailed timelines, wrangling unresponsive vendor contacts, even heading on-site in person multiple times to be ready for the day. We had some amazing vendors and while it isn't a competition, Aseile was the best money we spent on the day and saved us so much stress. We had a seamless day and I cannot recommend her enough. If you're on the fence, just hire her, right now. Immediately. Get her most expensive package if you're considering it - she is worth every penny. Not only is she type A in the best way, incredibly proactive and detail-oriented, but she is an absolute ball of sunshine and a joy to work with.

We worked with Miranda for almost 2 years for our wedding. What an absolute dream it was to work…read morewith, and get to know, Miranda!! She provided expert guidance as we planned our wedding at Scripps which involved many moving parts and bringing in all of our vendors. All of her vendor recommendations were ON POINT and she understood our vision from day 1. She made wedding planning so fun and, as a bride, I NEVER felt overwhelmed or stressed because Miranda was always 5 steps ahead - is she a mind reader? Maybe! Miranda was available everyday and always 1 text away. Her expertise came in especially during the last month of planning. She took control of everything and coordinated our vendors efficiently. She will go above and beyond for her couples and she always has such a wonderful attitude. She is a problem solver. Whenever an issue came up (like the pouring rain, or flipping 100 chairs, or the groom forgetting his vows lol), she handled it. Miranda is also extremely attentive. We had 1 guest with epilepsy and she worked with the guest and dj during reception to make sure our guest was okay when lights and lasers came on... I can go on and on. Bottom line is that you just have to work with her to know how excellent she is. I would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat and my husband and I MISS WORKING WITH HER!!! Love love love Miranda. She made our wedding dreams come true.

I am SO happy we chose her. She was always available for phone calls and quick on responding to text messages. She has a suggested vendor list to from (but we already had a majority of our vendors selected ahead of time; so I believe we only ended up using the floral vendor from her recommendation.) Regardless, she contacted all of our vendors, set up all of their times, coordinated pick up and drop off of items, and literally just took care of all communication. I then also am not very savvy at decor. And with her Lily May events and design decor, she was able to come up with an UNBELIEVABLE color scheme for me, designs, and choose the best fonts. My fiancé is still talking about how he's amazed that she did all this signage for us. Her work is incredible and so professional. Also, the best part, a lot of the work she does was significantly cheaper then if I ordered on Etsy, and she was flexible to last minute, unexpected changes. I've been a part of many weddings, and I've never had a coordinator be so detailed in her instructions on our rehearsal day. I kept getting compliments from my bridesmaids about how cute, spunky, and assertive Miranda was. She's the perfect amount of fun, relaxed, nice, yet still gets the job done and speaks up to make sure people hear her and listen to what she says. The rehearsal went extremely smoothly. Day of, Miranda was just on top of her game. Our wedding went perfectly. The band accidentally played my father daughter dance song during dinner, and Miranda was on top of it and had them change it immediately. She was so on top of timing and making sure things moved along swiftly. Not only this, but at the end of the night, she showed up with all my stuff that I left in the getting ready conference room. She put it all together and packed it. It was like almost midnight, and she was still there taking care of putting everything up and ensuring we have all our items. I cannot emphasize enough how happy I was with Miranda's services, and I 100% highly recommend her.

We knew we wanted to hire Taylor as our month-of coordinator immediately after our first call: not only did she sound extremely competent and skilled, but she also exuded warmth and care - she asked us about our love story, our vision, and really got what we wanted out of the day. The following calls with her were productive and fun: she showed up extremely prepared and asked about details we didn't even know we should be thinking about. She also helped us with design: she created beautiful signage (welcome sign and seating chart) that fit our vibe perfectly and delicate table florals for all of our tables. Day-of, she made the entire day run SO smoothly. Her coordination and expertise allowed us to fully relax and let go, and we were really grounded in the present moment.
