I had an initial concept of what I wanted and she ran with it - totally staying within budget and continually making super creative, thoughtful suggestions to enhance the decor, food choice, etc. One of my favorite parts of Angela is unlike a lot of planners I've worked with over the years, she has no ego. I was super honest about what what I liked and didn't and she was always understanding and upbeat. A true pleasure to work with!!!!

Do yourself a favor and book Stacey & Company immediately. I was fortunate enough to work with…read moreStacey and her team of magicians for a large Bat Mitzvah this past weekend. She not only transformed the entire space into Alice's wonderland, but she also made a little girl's dreams come true. But let's be honest--that girl may as well have been me because last Saturday I was wishing I was 13 years old again (probably for the first time in my life). Stacey's professionalism is only matched by her easy demeanor and warm smile. PLUS, she's wicked talented when it comes to personalized designs. Book Stacey & Company and save yourself any disappointment. Every event is a wonderland of possibilities and a chance to fall down a rabbit hole of enchantment.

She promised to send the contract and I was ready to pay the retainer. 4+ weeks later I've sent her a handful of emails about the contract, retainer, and to confirm our Zoom meeting and have gotten zero response to 5+ emails. She's totally ghosted me! She should have an assistant or at the very least use AI tools to respond, send the contract, or simply decline working with me. I've now lost over 6 weeks and have to go find and hire a new event planner. It's extremely unprofessional behavior and also quite rude. Who doesn't respond to 4+ emails from a client for their business?!

The recipe to a perfect dream wedding starts off with amazing vendors! The Backpocket Hero Team,…read morewho coordinated my special day in September, exceeded my expectations by working along side me in making my day momentous. Janice, the lead coordinator was detailed orientated, organized, and well focused about the execution. Let's start off with the bundle of assistance we needed as we were perplexed by how much coordination goes into a wedding celebration. Janice and her assistants supported us in refining our vision of the wedding, the overall flow of the wedding schedule, and most importantly the execution! As the months turned into weeks, our vision of the wedding evolved and often times became blurry. We needed to refocus. By engaging in weekly meetings with Janice and her team prior to the wedding day, we were able to resolve the details that appeared to rattle our nerves. Our vision became clearer that our wedding was about us and that all the planning would eventually fall into place. Planning a wedding always seems so easy but putting the parts together and making it happen is the struggle. We wanted to make sure every moment was captured and by reviewing our wedding day schedule carefully with Janice and the team, we were able to incorporate the moments we wanted. They provided thoughtful and realistic feedback that helped us keep the schedule moving along but still flexible. The team furthermore provided support at our Rehearsal smoothing out last minute details. When the day finally arrived, the team worked with our amazing vendors to make sure the operations ran smoothly for both our ceremony and reception. The team provided every level of support from monitoring the schedule to the setup up of personalized decorations. Everything was beautiful and breathtaking! When I arrived to my reception, there was a moment my heart skipped a beat because of how put together the venue looked. At the end of our night we were able to capture all the moments we wanted. We had the time of our lives! From the start to the finish, there really is no secret to the perfect wedding recipe. Just as long as you believe in your vendors, they will make your visions come to life. You will be in good hands with the Backpocket Hero team!

Janice guided me calmly through the process of going through piles of papers and office supplies, keeping me on task when I got distracted. She was very hands-on, getting in and helping me dust and vacuum. Janice also helped me step back, look at the big picture, and think creatively about the overall organizing process when I got too caught up in details. The whole experience of working with Janice was great, but the best part of having her help me organize my home office might have been that she took all the things to be donated with her, so I didn't need to worry about about them! (This may be a particularly big deal for me since I don't have a car.) Thanks Janice!

She was extremely helpful on a number of levels: 1. She helped provide structure to my planning process & held me accountable for getting things done on time 2. She brought professional energy to all of our meetings and came prepared with all of the right questions for the vendors 3. She added style and grace to my planning process, helping me think of details I may have overlooked 4. She kept me happy and sane through a very stressful process. Lea put out some last minute fires and kept things running smoothly on the day of my wedding so that I could really enjoy myself and let go of the stress leading up to that day. I am so grateful to her and would highly recommend her to anybody planning a wedding. I also know that Lea is adaptable and in times when large weddings are not possible, she'd be able to craft a creative and tasteful gathering.

My husband and I got married on 02/22/20 at Cavallo Point in Sausalito and Lea made the entire planning process stress free and fun! Her communication, organization and vision is incredible. She gave us the freedom to be "us" and map out all of our wedding wishes, and then she complimented that vision with ideas and small touches that truly helped us enjoy the wedding of our dreams. She is professional, honest, encouraging and simply a pleasure to work with. She kept us on track with vendor decisions, helped review proposals and enabled us to be a part of the planning without ever feeling overwhelmed. We cannot wait to use her and her team again in the future! Perhaps a vow renewal sooner than later? :)

Danielle is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. And I am not one to hand out compliments excessively. I had extremely…read morehigh expectations of all our vendors for our wedding, and Danielle was hands-down the best of the lot. To put it in context, I worked at a high-end florist when I was at Stanford, and I went through proposals from floral designers that do arrangements for French Laundry, Chez Panisse, Delfina etc etc. But Danielle fit our style, both aesthetically and personality-wise, perfectly. Both my fiance and I knew from the minute we first met her that she was it. Our first meeting happened completely last minute, and Danielle made the effort to meet us for breakfast at 830am in Palo Alto, when she lives in the city (when she's up in Northern CA, and not in LA, that is). She had her work on her handy dandy iPad to show us, and we explained to her our vision - modern, elegant, authentic, full of color and life - but not over the top extravagant. After our table mock-up at the rental company, my then-fiance told me that he had never believed that florals could be so beautiful. Danielle picked up cases of fruits that my mom provided for our wedding day arrangements, she sourced lily of the valley and other fresh seasonal flowers, supplied butcher paper for the kids tables for crayon drawing, and created stunningly beautiful tables at our wedding. Her sense of style is impeccable, and everyone could not stop raving about how gorgeous the flowers (and frankly, everything) were. She ended up providing design guidance on a variety of things from the lighting and draping in the barn, to ceremony aisle decor made up of small kumquat planters, to day-of signage, and she was resourceful up until the very end. She even brought leftover arrangements to our day after brunch so that our guests could enjoy the arrangements for just a little longer. We had an amazing wedding - not just because it was so perfectly planned and beautifully executed - but that definitely helped. As my hubby says, he thought ppl who wanted over-the-top weddings were always a little misguided - until we had our own - and having memories that are just that gorgeous really do add to how special the memories become. And those special memories absolutely wouldn't be as beautiful as they are without Danielle's artful eye apparent everywhere that day.

I thank my lucky stars that I found Danielle. I fell in love with her work the minute I saw her…read moreportfolio. At first I thought she only covered LA, but to my delight, I realized she did weddings in SF as well! Danielle is not only a great floral designer but has holistic artistic vision. I didn't have a planner/designer, and with Danielle I didn't need one. I gave her photos of my design inspiration, flowers I liked, and decoration details, and she helped me pull my thoughts together. She gave me recommendations on things I could buy/rent (she found our linens and dinner chairs, and told me about demijohns), and gave me great advice on the overall décor (including exercising restraint!). I loved loved loved our flowers. She took my ideas, and took them much further, pulling together a cohesive look that was still fresh. Our wedding made it into Style Me Pretty's Best of 2012, and Danielle deserves a lot of the credit! Danielle, thank you for being a pleasure to work with, and helping us have the wedding of our dreams!

Fearon is the ULTIMATE designer and planner. I live in Southern CA and my husband and I wanted to…read morehave an over-the-top winter wedding in Lake Tahoe! Because of the distance and our lavish taste we knew we needed to have a planner and Fearon couldn't have been a more perfect fit. We hired her for full service including a cocktail welcome party the day before the wedding and a brunch post wedding. In regards to pricing she is VERY fair, we talked to many local coordinators and were NOT impressed with their work or their passion for what they do. Also, I noticed that other planners give you a certain amount of hours and appointments...not the case here!! She was always available and we were blown away with the amount of time she put into the design and planning of our wedding. Before hiring Fearon, the only vendors we had chosen were the location and photographer, she provided a great list of vendors to choose from that she works with on a regular basis and they truly were amazing. Fearon is so creative and savvy, all the while trying to get the most bang for your buck. I could not have had the wedding of my dreams without Fearon. We enjoyed our wedding weekend from top to bottom and every guest and people who did not even attend who have seen pictures say it is the most beautiful wedding they have ever seen. I am an OCD detail oriented person and the week of the wedding I was not worried/stressed....at all!! I knew that Fearon had everything handled and she definitely exceeded our expectations and dreams.

I interviewed many coordinators of which none of them saw our vision and style. Fearon with Fearon May Events answered her phone at 10pm on a sunday night when I thought I was going to leave a message to set up an interview. Bubbly, friendly, and vibrant, I immediately knew she was the one. As soon as we met the next day, her personality, the fresh/new ideas that she brought to the table, and youth was exactly what we were seeking. Unlike the other coordinator's overdone, boring, and unoriginal ideas. This is going to be the wedding of the year! My fiance and I were extremely involved in the process, very demanding, had great vendors but none of it would be possible if it wasn't for the hard work and efforts of Fearon. She met with us weekly on our schedules whether it be late night, weekends, or even last minute calls. She went on every appt with us and gave us nothing but first class service throughout several months and fought for us to get the best deals possible. If anyone is planning a wedding or event and is looking to hire a coordinator then I strongly encourage you to call Fearon if you want a hassle free, one of a kind event. Trust me........there is no one else in town I interviewed them all! LOVE YOU FEARON!!!!!!!!!!!!!
