Right away Kirin was extremely collaborative, answering our questions about the venue and big picture items. About two months before our wedding, our lead planner Katey got involved and you could immediately tell how much of an expert she was helping us coordinate communications between vendors and giving us recommendations on layouts and day-of timelines. The actual day we could not have imagined anything better from the team. Katey kept the day flowing and was so proactive in coordinating all our vendors and friends that had important roles for the wedding. Throughout the day she was constantly keeping things moving while maintaining such a positive and fun attitude that big or small thing she needed us to do felt so exciting to us. There were so many things going on that day, it was so great to be able to trust Katey to know when and where we had to be. If you're looking for any level of wedding planning definitely go with TLC!

Kirin and Jennifer at TLC were lovely to work with. They kept us on track with a whole portfolio of…read morehelpful documents and guides, as well as regular meetings to check in on our progress and let us know where we should be in the planning process. They helped with the design and the less fun details like rentals contracts, lighting and staying within budget. During the event itself, they took care of tons of details behind the scenes so we wouldn't have to, and checked in regularly to see how they could support us. They were also kind, fun, and thoughtful. I'd recommend working with them to anyone looking for support in planning their wedding.

And on top of that, with the wedding nearing, I was internally freaking out because all my vendors kept contacting me and I just felt defeated and overwhelmed.  Luckily for me, Laura stepped right in and helped me and my husband feel at ease. She was thorough with my vendors, she was communicative whenever I contacted her, and she really was my advocate in every aspect of our wedding. She ensured I was stress free on my wedding day (I was so anxious!). She and her assistant even observed my husband and I letting loose (and getting a little too crazy.. sorry Laura!) I wouldn't have had it any other way! I'd 100% recommend her and her team to anyone.

I've had the pleasure of working with Melissa from I Do Weddings and Events on several weddings,…read moreand every single time I find myself thinking, "This bride is so lucky to have Melissa!" She is incredibly professional, organized, kind, and truly one of the sweetest wedding planners I've ever worked with. She has such a calm, warm presence, which makes such a difference on a wedding day--not only for the couple and their families, but for all of us vendors working behind the scenes. 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. As a wedding photographer, it is always such a pleasure to work alongside Melissa because I know the day will be beautifully organized and the couple will be very well taken care of. I highly recommend Melissa and I Do Weddings and Events to any couple looking for an experienced, caring, and genuinely wonderful wedding planner. She is an absolute gem!

Being a Type A person, I had already found most of my vendors before deciding that we needed a…read morecoordinator for our big day. What initially drew me to I Do Weddings... was her team's familiarity with San Diego wedding venues, and especially with our venue, the Scripps Seaside Forum. From our first consultation with Melissa, through every call and email, we immediately felt at ease knowing she was by our side. Melissa truly made the wedding planning process so much easier. She was incredibly responsive and always had an answer to my many questions in the months leading up to the wedding. I never felt like I was bothering her or asking too much, and knowing we had someone experienced and dependable to turn to made such a difference. On the wedding day, Melissa and her assistant coordinator, Elena, made sure everything went according to plan. My husband and I felt completely stress-free that morning because we knew Melissa and her team had everything under control. We were able to simply enjoy our day and be present in the moment, which was exactly what we wanted. I would HIGHLY recommend Melissa and her team to anyone planning a wedding. We are so grateful for everything they did to make our wedding day so seamless and special!

The natural light pouring in, the stunning architectural beams, the glowing pendant lights, and the lush living plants woven throughout the entire venue create the most magical atmosphere. It's modern yet organic, intimate yet open AND the perfect setting for both our ceremony and reception. A huge shoutout to the owner Katherine for her incredible vision in creating such a breathtaking and meaningful wedding space. Flora is not just a venue -- it's an experience. You can feel the intention behind every detail, from the living greenery to the thoughtfully designed layout. It truly transforms into a romantic garden sanctuary in the heart of San Diego. THEEEE entire team at Flora is incredible! Planning was such a smooth and enjoyable experience, especially working with in house coordination. Jade is amazzzzing, she was organized, responsive, and genuinely invested in making our day everything we envisioned. By the time the wedding day arrived, we felt completely at ease knowing we were in such capable hands. The entire day flowed seamlessly. We're also so grateful to Robin for coordinating the bar and stepping in to help throughout the day of the wedding. The bar service was wonderful, and our guests had nothing but amazing things to say about the bartenders -- friendly, professional, and so efficient. And a special thank you to Jameson for being part of the process from start to finish. Having someone so involved and supportive throughout our planning journey meant so much to us. Flora exceeded every expectation we had. Our guests are still talking about how beautiful and unique the space was.

When we first toured the venue, immediately Katherine (owner) took the extra step that we didn't see across other venues to truly welcome us. Other venue tours felt transactional, Katherine/Flora worked with us with genuine interest and warmth from the moment introductions began. Beyond Katherine, our coordinators Sydney, Erin, and Jameson answered our (many) questions with grace and professionalism, and helped us map out the vision of our wedding every step of the way. Additionally, they exhibited their expertise throughout, giving us recommendations or considerations we had not even thought of, which we were then extremely grateful for afterwards. The day of the wedding, their communication not only with us but all vendors involved was perfect. Even when we had a 30 minute adjustment to our timeline, they handled it with ease and coordinated everything perfectly, allowing us to simply enjoy and revel in being newlyweds. There wasn't a single minute we had to worry or wonder, they had it all under control. Lastly, the venue itself is beautiful and highly customizable. Guests particularly commented on the lighting changes (we had 8, apologies again to staff), magnificent frosted glass windows, and overall impeccable ambience throughout. You will not be disappointed with the options available. Having our wedding at Flora truly paid off in every imaginable way. Our only regret is now that the wedding is over, we will likely not have more opportunities to interact and plan with the staff in the future. Thank you again to Katherine, Sydney, Jameson, and Erin, we are truly grateful for all that Flora provided.

THE BEST HIRE!!!! Christine and Lavish were recommended to…read moreme by a friend at work. She said her sister was a wedding planner and created beautiful weddings. She was not wrong! I am so impressed by Christine and her team. My husband and I were engaged for over a year and Gabriela took care of us in the beginning from getting a vision board together, a color palette selected, and an overall concept/theme put together. They recommended different vendors and were realist about setting a budget. I originally found their online aisle planner website difficult and hard to navigate at first and learned to really appreciate it down the road. It wasn't that it was hard to navigate more than I didn't take the time to explore all the different features. It was a life saver for me and later turned into my wedding bible because it housed all my vendor information, payment schedules, important dates, seating chart, checklists, and more. Fast forward to the month before the wedding. Christine was amazing and set up all our final vendor meetings, etc. she made sure all the vendors talked to each other and coordinated everything with the hotel. She took care of all the vendor logistics, COI, etc. Which at the time, I didn't realize was a lot. She was crucial in selecting our decor and creating the timeline. The day of the wedding comes and Christine was there bright and early setting everything up. We had an attendant, Tiffany, assigned to the bridesmaids, another one dedicated to the groomsmen, Christine setting up in the reception hall, and later, Diana, a runner and they all were amazing! They were there the entire time of us getting ready and making sure we could connect with Christine as she handled the vendors coming in. They made sure we were taken care of, checked in, and never left. Diana was also a life saver and had my shoes ready for me to change into after all the photos. I could go on for days and never capture how much Christine and her team truly helped us. They helped set up, tear down, managed my family and guests, managed all the vendors, and handled all the melt downs. They were the absolute best hire! I am truly impressed and am forever grateful to Christine and her team. I 100% recommend Lavish & Co. for any wedding. They were truly amazing and went above and beyond, exceeded all expectations. My husband and I are not the easiest people and I know that. But, Christine and her team were so gracious and accommodating throughout the whole process. I have no complaints. Thank you Lavish for making my wedding a beautiful dream come true!

We cannot say enough great things about the Lavish Wedding Team, and especially Gabriela! From the…read moremoment we met Gabriela, it was clear that she wasn't just a wedding planner--she was someone deeply invested in making our wedding day a reflection of us as a couple. She took the time during our very first meeting to ask about our personal story--how we met, how my husband proposed, and what made our relationship unique. This was something no other planner had done, and it immediately made us feel like we were in the hands of someone who truly cared. She has become more than just a wedding planner, and is now one of our friends. Our wedding was a beautiful blend of two distinct cultures, and Lavish went above and beyond to ensure that every detail honored both of our traditions in a way that felt seamless and cohesive. Gabriela found creative ways to incorporate elements of each culture into the decor, ceremony, and reception, making our celebration not just special, but incredibly personal. Her thoughtful approach to merging these cultural elements was absolutely perfect, and we were so grateful for the care she took to ensure everything felt authentic and meaningful. On top of all that, the Lavish team was incredibly attentive to every last detail. There were a few last-minute challenges on the day of the wedding, and they handled them with such grace and professionalism that we didn't have to worry about a thing. If you're looking for a wedding planning team who will go above and beyond to make your day as special as it can be, look no further than Lavish.

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.
