From start to finish, they were fantastic to work with and we cannot say enough good things about them! We are so, so happy to have hired Christina as our day of coordinator. She is incredibly caring, organized, personable, and professional. As our day of coordinator, she did more than just organize the day of the wedding. She is there from the moment you hire her to help you plan the day, work through decision fatigue, push to meet your goals, remind you of deadlines, and guide you through the entire process. She and her team did a spectacular job making our vision come to life. All the little things you need set up in the morning, the bouquet that needs to be picked up, guest and vendor questions, or the several boxes of decor you need packed up at the end of the night? This dedicated team has it handled! Shout out to Aly who went above and beyond to help fix up a wedding dress malfunction. She stayed steady and calm the entire time. It was truly a stress free day with this team by our side. Thank you Christina and the Sunshine Events team for all your hard work and making our special day all the more wonderful. 10/10 would highly recommend (again and again)!

I cannot recommend Christina enough! I hired Christina + team for day of coordination, but it…read moreincludes a lot more than that. From day one, she kept me organized and focused during planning. When the wedding day finally arrived, I felt like I could just breathe and be a bride. Christina and her team were phenomenal and handled everything with so much grace. Because of them, we were early or perfectly on time for every single event throughout the day. Booking her was easily one of the top two best decisions I made for the entire wedding (right up there with the venue itself!). And the best added bonus was she sent over a lot of photos/videos right after the wedding so we could relive some of that immediately! Thank you, Christina, for making my day stress-free and perfect!

Abby is an absolute rockstar wedding planner! Where do we even start? From our very first call with…read moreAbby, we knew she was different. She wasn't just trying to sell us a package - she genuinely wanted to get to know us as a couple, our story, and the kind of vibe we wanted our wedding to have. That first impression stuck with us. Over the next two years of planning, Abby and her team brought our ideas to life and helped to make our dream wedding a reality. Design: We told Abby we wanted an "East Meets West" theme that blended our cultures in a way that felt modern and elegant, a tough balance that could've easily come off as cheesy in if executed poorly. But Abby nailed it of course, her design sense is unreal. From color palettes and floral choices to the way she tied together modern décor with cultural elements, everything was cohesive and elevated. She has an incredible eye for detail and always found creative, out-of-the-box ways to make our ideas work. The end result was a wedding that felt truly felt like us! Communication: Throughout the entire process, Abby and her team were consistently on top of communication. She kept us updated between meetings, sent friendly reminders, and made sure we were always aligned on next steps. It's easy for things to slip through the cracks when planning something this big, but Abby kept everything organized and stress-free. We never once felt out of the loop, she was always calm, professional, and genuinely fun to talk to. Vendor Management: Abby's vendor management skills are next level. She has deep connections and knows everyone in the wedding world. When we needed vendors for flowers, desserts, or décor, she already had a curated list of the best options with pros and cons ready for us. Some of our vendors were booked more than a year in advance, but Abby and her team were always on top of follow-ups, contracts, and logistics. By the time the big day arrived, every vendor was perfectly coordinated. It really felt like we had assembled the Avengers of wedding vendors! Working Style: We can't say enough about how enjoyable it was to work with Abby and her team. They're so friendly, positive, and genuinely care about their couples. You can tell they love what they do and that they actually enjoy working together - it felt like they were more of friends than coworkers. Whenever unexpected hiccups came up (and they always do in wedding planning), Abby handled them with grace and a sense of humor. She's done hundreds of weddings, so she always had the experience to guide us to make informed decisions. It was so fun working with the entire team and it made the stressful process of wedding planning feel less stressful. Execution: This is where Abby and her team truly shine. Planning is one thing, but executing flawlessly is another and they did it all seamlessly. From coordinating vendors to keeping our timeline on track, they were everywhere and nowhere all at once, putting out fires behind the scenes before we even knew they existed. The day flowed perfectly. At the end of the night, we were blown away to see how they had already packed up all our belongings, made sure our ride was ready, and tied up every little loose end without us lifting a finger. That level of thoughtfulness really showed how much they care. Budget & Financial Management: The truth is weddings are expensive, and it's easy for costs to spiral if you're not careful. Abby was phenomenal at keeping everything organized and transparent. She tracked every expense, set reminders for upcoming milestone payments for vendors, and even handled tipping for all our vendors so we didn't have to stress about it on the big day. What really stood out was her honesty and foresight -- anytime a decision could push us beyond our budget, she proactively flagged it and walked us through the financial trade-offs before we committed. Thanks to her meticulous tracking and planning, there were zero surprises at the end. Everything was clearly outlined and accounted for, which gave us complete peace of mind. In short, Abby and her team are the best in the business. They bring design expertise, organization, and heart to every step of the process. You'll see what we mean once you have the first introductory call with her. She's the kind of planner who truly loves what she does, doesn't settle for anything less than perfect, and it shows in every detail. We highly recommend her for anyone looking for a top class wedding planner!

As my wife and I were planning our wedding we both knew we wanted a team to support and guide us through the planning process. Working with Abby and Amanda definitely made the entire wedding planning process seamless. From our very first meeting they really helped put things into focus and laid out a clear milestones and goals throughout. On the day of our wedding and weeks leading up to it, Abby and Amanda ensured that our decorations and everything came out according to plan. Despite us throwing any changes or last minute requests their way. My wife and I had absolutely nothing to worry about and was able to enjoy our wedding completely stress free.

So many guests came up to us during and after the wedding to say they were the best band they had ever heard at a wedding. People truly did not leave the dance floor, and by the end of the night they were literally screaming for an encore. The band could have played all night and everyone would have stayed. They did such an amazing job reading the room, playing songs that matched the energy, and taking into account what we wanted while still keeping the party moving. They came into the crowd, interacted with us and our guests, and made the whole night feel so alive and personal. We had them come from LA to San Francisco because they are just that worth it. We would recommend them to absolutely anyone. They were one of the biggest highlights of the entire wedding!

What really stood out was their willingness to work within our budget without compromising on quality or creativity. They not only designed and set up all the balloons, backdrops, installations but they also spent extra time helping me decorate and design the farmers market with the custom gifts I made and/or purchased for my guests. The entire process felt stress-free and enjoyable. Everything turned out beautifully and we received so many compliments. I am truly honored to be The Simple Luxe's first farmers market themed client and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a talented, reliable, and kind vendor who goes above and beyond. If you have been following them on social media like I was and have an upcoming event - reach out to them and get a quote! You will not be disappointed!

I cannot recommend 24 Carrots more. After 8 different tastings to find the perfect caterer for our…read more130 person wedding, we are SO happy we chose them. We worked with Erik from the start after a terrible experience with another caterer who backed out of our wedding just a couple months before our date. Erik immediately jumped in when we contacted him and not only offered us discounts in a lot of different areas because he felt bad for what we'd been through with our previous caterer, he also offered to move the tasting location so it would be closer and more convenient for my husband and I to do a tasting right away given our time crunch and the location of our jobs. Erik was extremely responsive, accommodating, and flexible from start to finish. All of the pricing was extremely transparent and there wasn't constant upcharges or hidden fees like you see with some wedding vendors. The tasting itself was wonderful, which included surprise complimentary champagne in addition to complimentary add on tastings Erik picked just for us, and we immediately vibed with Erik, who was so sweet and genuine and not at all being an over-the-top salesman. You can tell he loves his job and cares about the food and company, but it still just felt like we were enjoying a delicious meal with an old friend. Even if the food sucked, we might have still chosen 24 Carrots just because of how much we all loved working with Erik! But alas, the food was also spectacular. All in all we did EIGHT food tastings to pick the right caterer for our wedding, because having excellent food and service was one of our top priorities for our wedding. We knew 24 Carrots was the right choice after how professional and organized they were and after we tasted their excellent food. On the day of the wedding, they had a massive crew of people to make sure everything was executed perfectly. From passed appetizers during cocktail hour, to piping hot duet plated dinner service, the food was excellent. We had so many guests rave about how delicious the food was, even still. This was no ordinary wedding food. It was a cold and rainy day on the wedding, and somehow, guests commented on how all the food still came out piping hot. The dish was a duet of salmon and braised short ribs with mashed potatoes and broccolini. The vegetarian option was a butternut squash and caramelized onion risotto. Both servings were huge, and our hungry guests were thrilled. The service and professionalism of the staff was unmatched. They were able to help do a "flip" between the ceremony and the reception, while also serving apps during cocktail hour. Everything was executed perfectly, the taste and flavor of all aspects of the dinner was phenomenal, and the staff was all so kind and gracious. My husband, me, and my parents are so happy we chose 24 Carrots and got to work with Erik. We have already recommended them to anyone who needs a caterer and we will absolutely be using them again for any future events we have, big or small. Our previous caterer backing out turned out to be a huge blessing in the end because we got to end up working with 24 Carrots who helped make our day even more perfect. 10/10 recommendation, service, and quality of food.

I first heard about Wedgewood Weddings through a few friends who had used them for their weddings,…read moreand after doing my own research, I completely understood the hype. Even though I toured a few other non-Wedgewood venues, I just knew choosing Wedgewood would mean a smoother, more stress-free experience. Their all-in-one business model was exactly what I needed. I was such a laid-back bride because of it! People kept asking if I was nervous leading up to the big day, and I'd always say, "No, why would I be? Everything is handled. I'm just excited to marry my person." And honestly, that's exactly how it should be. Wedgewood Weddings truly gave us the wedding of our dreams. The Harper is such a gorgeous venue. From the moment we arrived, the entire team--especially Lindsay and Jess--went above and beyond to make our day feel effortless, joyful, and full of love. They made my husband and me feel completely cared for, checking in with us throughout the day, keeping everything perfectly on track, and even rallying our wild groomsmen (which is no easy feat!). Our guests were blown away. Everyone raved about how attentive, organized, and kind the staff was. The welcome champagne was such a special touch and a total hit. Valet parking was a huge help, especially with limited parking at the venue. The food? Incredible. Guests were shocked at how many options there were. My uncle, who works in wedding catering, was taking notes because of how well everything was set up and executed! Wedgewood also partners with amazing vendors. Our dessert table from Patty's Cakes was a crowd favorite (the cupcakes, cookies, and cake were all divine), Olivia's Mum created stunning floral arrangements that matched my inspiration photos perfectly, Caleb from DJ Maestro kept the dance floor alive with spot-on music cues and an amazing vibe, and True Photography captured breathtaking, flawless photos that we'll treasure forever. The entire day ran like clockwork. We got to enjoy every single bite of food, every hug, every dance, and every laugh, because Wedgewood had it all handled. I never felt rushed or stressed. It truly felt like we were in the best hands from beginning to end. I honestly can't thank Lindsay, Jess, and the rest of the Wedgewood team enough for their warmth, professionalism, and heart. They poured so much care into every moment of our wedding, and it showed. If you're considering The Harper by Wedgewood Weddings, DO IT. It was hands down the best decision we made.

We know what we like and so that's what we usually stick to but you know, that doesn't leave us a lot of room for trying new experiences. We make it a habit to schedule AT LEAST 1 date a month for the hubs and I to unwind, have fun and reconnect - and when I shared this with a friend she recommend we try out the Date Nite Box service maybe they could help us find something new to do. I was a little weary at first- the hubs and I are service snobs and kinda picky- (again, we've been together A LONG TIME and so we know what we like) but honestly, both the Hubs and I have been really busy and stressed lately- I liked the idea of having someone plan the whole thing for us so I said what the heck and decided to give it a whirl. Worse comes to worse, we try something new and we blame someone else for the choice if we don't like it. HAHA. Zero liability dating. I like it. I filled out the survey (not too long) with our likes and dislikes and went through the sign up process on line without any issue. Right away I received a confirmation of my Date Nite package choice and was told that a consultant would be in touch with us if necessary to get more information. I never got a call from the consultant but within a couple days we received our Date Nite Box in the mail. Our Date Nite Concierge had selected a French cooking class for us at Sur La Table in Newport - huh- The Hubs and I had never been to a cooking class. Neat. We received some super neat french themed aprons from Sur La Table as part of our date swag, along with our vouchers, and some other fun stuff to use on our date ;-) The date went off without a hitch- honestly we didn't know what to expect from a cooking class- when I told the Hubs we'd be cooking he kind of raised an eyebrow and gave me a weird look but he conceded to go. WE HAD THE BEST FRIGGIN TIME. WAAAAAAY more fun than either of us expected it would be. Our class was fun, I learned things about cooking I didn't know before (like how to open a pomegranate and how to cut a perfect shallot- also, did you know steaks should go in the oven after being seared in a pan?!?) and ended up having SO MUCH FUN and a great meal. It surprised us how much we enjoyed our cooking class and our date. Honestly, never in a million years would I have picked a cooking class as a date for The Hubs and I but I'm so glad our Date Nite Box concierge picked it. We had a friggen blast. We would totally do it again. The price we paid for the class, the meal, the fun extras in our box and the Sur La Table Swag was well worth the price of our package- we walked out of there feeling like we scored a great deal. I highly recommend this for couples that want to switch it up a bit on their date night.

With three kids all in their own activities, dates and date night can be very few and far between. They also become very routine as researching and finding things to do is just not something that we can do, so we usually go out and do the same things every date night. I was gifted a Date Night Box from a friend, who realized that it was something that my wife and I very much needed. I won't lie. I was very apprehensive about the gift. I didn't want someone telling me that I'm not good at picking out things to do and places to eat. It wasn't like that at all. You're assigned a dating specialist that asks you what you likes and dislikes and they consult with you about different things you might like to do. Our specialist was very nice and helped me pick out a special night for me and my wife. She found a local winery, that we've always wanted to try and then dinner at a restaurant on the beach afterwards. She made me feel very good about what I picked and I knew this would be a nice night for us, and definitely out of the normal range of our regular date nights. The date night box arrived and it was filled with the itinerary, two vouchers (one for the winery and the other for the restaurant), and a small gift. The date night box was very well planned out. The fact that it used vouchers allowed us to go on our schedule. I planned the night out, hired a sitter, and told my wife that we were going out to do something special. The date itself was awesome! It was nice to get out without having to plan and worry about what to do and when we were going to be done. The fact that it was all planned out allowed us to relax and enjoy so much needed time together. I would definitely recommend and we will be doing this again soon!
