I was very grateful that they made space to meet with us twice. On the day of the wedding, the decor was very amazing! It was very professional and they gave us good quality decor. Everything was perfect. I recommend this place because they make what you have in your mind come true!

Mary-ely did the flowers for my April 23 wedding. She blew my expectations out of the park. I was…read moreon a limited budget and she came through with providing me something I would be happy with. My dream was to have all flowers yellow but limited to what was economies. She dyed the hydrangeas yellow and they came out spectacular. She also suggested I use my centerpieces as the church flowers. I paid additional fee for transportation (completely worth it) as the person delivered and setup the flowers at church, that packed them up and set them up at the reception. I rented the vases from Mary-Ely and she sent someone or pick them up at the end of the night. I was so happy with her work.

One of my now-wife's and my biggest worries when we started planning our wedding was that we didn't…read moreknow what we didn't know. After doing a little research, we came across Whitney and A'Reve. Suddenly, a flood of knowledge came our way. And we weren't intimidated because we now had Whitney in our corner. Any challenge or bump that came up, she battered away effortlessly. Her recommendations for vendors were perfect. She put up with our constant badgering about what we should be doing X months, days, minutes before our wedding. Looking for a wedding coordinator that gets the job done? Whitney is it!

My coworker had used A'Reve for her wedding and recommended them to me. My husband and I just got…read moremarried a couple weeks ago and could not have been happier to have Whitney as our month-of planner. From the moment I spoke with Whitney on the phone, I knew she was the one! She has years and years of experience, is professional, and such a pleasure to work with. She's also funny and sassy, which made our planning meetings light-hearted and stress-free. As a natural planner myself, it's always hard to let go and let someone else take over. After a few conversations with Whitney, my trust grew. I went into our wedding day feeling confident that she can run the show and put out any fires if need be. Needless to say, our wedding day was perfect! If it wasn't behind the scenes, I had no idea about it since Whitney probably took care of it :)

We started working with Annena last year on our Oct 26, 2013 wedding. My (now) husband had proposed…read moreto me right as I was moving from California to live with him in Brazil. After we determined that we would wed back in California (where we met), we then had the daunting task of planning the event...from another continent. We had a general idea of what we wanted, but hadn't a clue where to start. So we started looking for wedding planners. Amongst all those I talked to, I immediately knew Annena was the one for us. She was ultra responsive, highly detail-oriented, and incredibly lovely. We may not have been the easiest couple Annena has worked for. First, we unexpectedly had to postpone our first wedding date. Annena gently and supportively worked right alongside us to find another date in the same location. Then, we increased our expected headcount to the the limits of our venue's space. Then, a month before our wedding, my father had a stroke. In the final wedding planning stages I was utterly consumed by caring for him. Annena picked up my slack and I trusted her 100%. I can't even tell you how profoundly perfect our day was. The saying goes that the devil is in the details. Every minute detail of our wedding was perfect. This was the work of a true master! Even though the famous Carmel fog rolled in, Annena had that covered too by offering hand warmers to our guests during the ceremony. Nothing was overdone - just pure, timeless elegance through and through. The food was epic. The decorations were jaw dropping. The service was incredible. One thing flowed to the next seamlessly. The greatest gift Annena gave us, however, was the ability to be fully present with our guests the whole way through. We didn't have to ask or worry about a thing. Annena also followed up with us after our wedding to do a post-mortem. Coming from the tech industry, I'm very used to finding things that could be improved the next time around. I had no such feedback for Annena. Just a rave review! To anyone thinking of hiring Annena for any type of event, please do so without hesitation. She will create your event exactly the way you envision it and then some. She will be the best money you ever spend. We would hire her again in a heartbeat. Annena, we are deeply grateful for all you've done for us.

Alison is the reason I was not a labeled as a Bridezilla. From my engagement photo session to the…read morebig day, she definitely went above and beyond to create special memories. From big items to final touches, I did not have to worry about a single thing. She has an amazing artistic style and knows how to turn my visions into reality. She was also very cost-conscious. She found the best deals in all aspects of my wedding. My event coordinator at the venue loved her because she was so responsive and professional. She worked well with everyone. I had no stress at all during the day because everything went so smoothly. I am left with endless beautiful memories for my special day. Choosing her as my event coordinator was best decision I've made!!

Initially I went back and forth about whether to have a day of coordinator but when we were able to…read morecut some money from our budget in some other areas, I knew that for the sake of my sanity and my ability to enjoy my own wedding day it would be important for me to have one. It was honestly the best decision for the wedding I ever made and Katrina at Love Blooms was the best person I could have gone with! I started looking into having a day of coordinator about 8 months or so before our wedding and was blown away by some of the quotes we had received. There was no way I could afford that. However, Katrina's prices are much more reasonable and well worth every cent! I met with Katrina in person about 6 months before the wedding and we talked through my thoughts for the day. She also helped calm my nerves and give me some direction on some ideas I had but didn't know how to follow through on them. Starting about a month or two before the wedding she really helped with more of the details, telling me what might be missing in my day of timeline and items like that. Honestly, with very little direction I told her everything that needed to be set up and she did it all, amazingly, exactly as requested. She attended our rehearsal and told everyone in attendance that from here on out, if they have a question, they should go to her instead of the bride and groom. I could have kissed her! The wedding day went off beautifully and she was somehow magically there whenever I had a question about something, which honestly was very rarely because everything was perfect, mainly thanks to her hard work. And to top it all off, when my new husband's and my ride for the night didn't show up, she drove us to our hotel! Seriously, hire her!

Five stars really does not do this girl justice. I hired Katrina last minute as a…read moreday-of-coordinator when I started to realize that I did not want myself or my mother to be running around worrying about the little things on my wedding day. And THANK GOD I did. From our very first meeting she was very professional, thinking of potential scenarios that had not even occurred to me. She came to the rehearsal which turned out to be very valuable since my church was less than experienced with wedding proceedings. On the day of my wedding, Katrina did all the set-up at the reception (I basically handed her a bunch of trinkets/decorations and her creative eye made the room look better than I could have ever imagined), fixed my father's boutonniere when it snapped in two, shuffled flowers from the church to the reception in the pouring rain, counted cupcakes for me during one of my bridezilla moments, cleaned up at the end of the night, and I'm sure much more that I was not even aware of! She thought of so many extra things such as taking the personalized labeled wine bottles home with her because she knew (even before I did!) that I would want to keep them as a memento. She not only took care of me and my husband, but she also looked after my guests. She even drove a couple of my friends home when their taxi never showed up! Amazing. Her attention to detail is impeccable and she is very trustworthy and thoughtful. I am grateful beyond words that she was there to make everything run smoothly so that my husband, family, guests and I could enjoy the day. She is an excellent coordinator worth far more than she charges. I recommended her wholeheartedly to anyone considering hiring a wedding coordinator. And if you are not considering at least a day-of-coordinator, trust me that you do not want your mom or Aunt Betty to be managing all these unpredictable nuances. HIRE KATRINA!

I worked with Jamie as a photographer on two events in the past year. One in California and the…read moreother in Colorado. There is a good reason why they flew her into Colorado, Jamie performs with aplomb in challenging situations and she had challenges like no other in Colorado. The preceding week Boulder experienced one of the worst weather events in recent history, extreme flooding and infrastructure damage. Somehow, and I really don't know how, she was able to pull the two day event together with minimal issues. The second event, which was held in San Francisco. Happily took a more normal course in regards to extraneous and unrelated events. All of my interactions with Jamie were pleasurable and there was both open and positive lines of communications for both events. As a contractor that makes my job much easier and more pleasurable. Jamie's talent and passion for the work she does shines through with her smiles, joyfulness and unaffected manner. I hope I get to work alongside her in the near future.
