I was actually the bride that thought it could be possible to have a successful DIY wedding. My now…read morehusband, John, and I were definitely on a budget and thought, since we have friends that could DJ, cater, and a wedding party of 9 bridesmaids who were so eager to help, how hard could pulling a wedding of 150 guest be. After John and I picked a date and a venue that fit our style and budget, we began the real planning. As any bride would know, I quickly became overwhelmed. Don't get me wrong; I have been planning for years on my Pinterest Board. I knew I wanted something different, something not so traditional, and something that not only we would remember forever, but our guests would have a blast at. So, I pinned and pinned away on my Pinterest Board. I could not stop pinning. I think I may have been trying to avoid actually setting up vendors and planning for decorations, because I honestly did not know where to start. A wedding coordinator was looking more and more appealing to me. For years I followed, K&G events and Grace on social media, admiring the exceptional details and unbelievable set ups, I would call "eye candy". Two of my bridesmaids used K&G Events for their weddings and had nothing but positive things to say about their professionalism and style. John and I live in Las Vegas, but were planning a wedding in my hometown of San Diego. I also work as a night shift RN which I thought might make it difficult to coordinate phone meetings with K&G Events, but they accommodated us so easily. They were always at our reach and were efficient in responding to any random questions and thoughts John and I had throughout our planning. After our first sit down meeting with K& G Events, I already felt a major weight lifted from my shoulders. Grace and Cindy were so amazing. They are genuine people. They never made us feel like our budget was too small. They truly have a passion for what they do, and you could see it in every aspect of their work. It was not hard for John and I to trust them with what would be the Best Day of our Lives. Our wedding ran seamlessly. Not to mention, the night before the wedding, I had a tearful, overwhelming breakdown. I had to call Grace and Cindy to make some last minute changes, and they quickly could sense my anxiety. Grace has such a genuine big heart. She comforted me, eased my mind, reassured me of how amazing and big the next following day would be, and told me that I needed rest overall and that everything was taken care of and there was no need to worry. Grace and Cindy are so personable; they make you feel like they have known you for so much longer, in the way they comfort you and the way you are able to truly trust them Grace and Cindy were incredibly organized. They took care of so many details with vendors and relaying information from the vendors to our venue officials. They gave us options, and really let us find our own connection with the right Officiant who would end up marrying us. Grace and Cindy, made our "Boho Island Chic Wedding" come to life, from the amazing embellishments as centerpieces, to the beautiful dessert table, all the amazing lettering, the giveaway table, the cute framed quotes, and my two most favorite pieces of 'eye candy': our 'Boho Island' Sweetheart table and very Boho teepee and pillows photo-op that was set up outside during cocktail hour. To say the least, K&G made our dreams come true. Our guest were truly amazed, taking pictures of all the details just as much as they were taking pictures of themselves having a great time. It was definitely a wedding our family and friends could never forget. I would absolutely recommend K&G Events to anyone that wants a special day to be an extraordinary, absolutely amazing, Best Day Ever.

After we…read morehad to leave Sweetwater regional Park Trail because it closed we hopped over here to complete our hiking and trail walking exercises. The location is really nice because there are a lot of people around and it's pretty secure as it is away from the traffic in the street. You have to be careful because there is horse poop sometimes frequently on the trail pathways. Sometimes you also will find that people don't pick up after their dogs and so just be careful to not step in any dog poop as well. They really have done a great job with maintaining this trail around the golf course. The path goes from behind the CV Bonita Branch library all the way around and behind Jack-in-the-Box and Better Buzz Coffee. Continuing on, there is also a new bridge section that has been put up within the last 5 years, which is a nice transition over the small pond that exists near the end of the course. As you continue around past the bridge, you approach the back of some homes and backyards, and then the Rohr Park. The trail actually goes all the way through the park and back to the horse corrals, then back around Central Avenue. Once you turn from Central back to Bonita Road, you're on the home stretch. This is a 3 mile walk when you take one trip around this course trail. It is refreshing and nice and there are a lot of people that walk it so make sure that you get a chance to enjoy it.

On the wedding day itself, I never had to worry about a thing because I knew she had everything under control. Her strong working relationship with RBI was incredibly valuable throughout the planning process and made everything feel seamless. Since I'm not local to the San Diego area and didn't always have a clear vision of exactly what I wanted, Gina's recommendations and guidance were invaluable. Anytime I needed vendor suggestions, she immediately sent thoughtful recommendations, and whenever I wanted to dive deeper into details, she made it happen. We met in person multiple times leading up to the wedding weekend, and she helped bring all of the details together so beautifully. She was always available to answer texts or calls, which made the entire process feel so much less stressful. I really appreciated how Gina truly followed my lead and helped execute the vision we wanted. By the time the wedding weekend arrived, I didn't have to think twice about anything -- it all came together so perfectly, and it truly was the most wonderful weekend.

Melissa works frequently at The Scripps Seaside Forum in La Jolla, and she knows this beautiful venue inside and out. Her experience there really shows in how smoothly everything comes together. I also have to mention her vendor recommendations. Everyone she brings onto her team is wonderful--professional, talented, and simply the best at what they do.

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.

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.
