From the very beginning, Dana and Shannon made the planning process feel collaborative, organized, and genuinely enjoyable. Their communication was always clear and timely, and their attention to detail gave us complete confidence leading up to the event. On-site, Julia and Corrine were fantastic to work with. They kept everything moving smoothly with professionalism and grace, and they were always a step ahead when it came to logistics, timing, and coordinating with our entertainment and vendor teams. Their calm presence and proactive coordination made all the difference. SD Event Planning not only delivered everything they promised -- they went above and beyond. We had several standout moments where their team anticipated needs before we even voiced them, and that level of care translated directly to the success of the event and the attendee experience. We genuinely enjoyed working with their whole team and are excited to continue collaborating with them for years to come. As clients, we felt supported, understood, and always in excellent hands. We highly recommend SD Event Planning to any organization looking for a true partner in meetings and events. Warmly, Chad & Nadia Almost Famous Events

Our first initial meet with Janine she was warm, kind, smiling, professional, and listened to our vision for our perfect day while still suggesting great options. I knew then that she and her team were the ones we wanted to hire. She kept in constant contact throughout our whole planning time not only with us but all our vendors as well. The day of the wedding ran perfectly and any hiccups that came about (because they do) she handled it with ease and professionalism and made my day so incredibly special. The venue was more than I expected and her detailed touches to the decor made for a very personal and intimate setting. I highly recommend Janine Sofianos at Lace and Champagne Events. Trust me you will not be disappointed!

She had a handle on every planned piece of our wedding day and skillfully worked around the more spontaneous moments. We were really impressed by her coordination and direction as we transitioned from the ceremony to photos to cocktail hour to more photos to our grand entrance. Keli politely kept everything on schedule while ensuring that we had time to enjoy and celebrate with family and friends! At some point during the afternoon, a button fell off my tuxedo and Keli's assistant (I believe her name was Alena), sewed my button on before we took the next set of pictures. Incredible! After the band's second musical set, Keli asked us if we wanted to move up the cake-cutting and bouquet toss earlier in the night to give people more time to dance and party. This really impressed us because she read the flow of the evening then offered us a way to keep our guests on the partying on the dance floor! After we gave her the go ahead, she communicated with all of the vendors, including photography, videography, the band, and catering. The transition wasn't even noticeable to our guests and this decision really kept the energy high! We would recommend Monarch Weddings, particularly for the level of service we received day-of. Thanks Keli!

During our planning, Keli was always professional, accommodating, and insightful something I so appreciated seeing as I live out of state. Keli's knowledge and working relationship with many vendors was so helpful. She went out of her way to help set up meetings with vendors when I came into town, sometimes with little notice. She understood my vision of what I wanted our day to be, and it was executed to perfection. We sprung a few twists to our wedding, and she was on board with them, helping us ensure that they were carried out exactly how we wanted. Without Keli's experience our wedding would not have been as perfect as it was. All our guest said it was the BEST wedding they have ever been to. I would 100% recommend Keli and Monarch Weddings, you will be thankful you hired her.

We were lucky enough to have Lindsay as our coordinator and we have nothing but good things to say about her. Lindsay was imperative to making our day a success and really keeping all vendors in line all the way through the end of our wedding day. She was so funny, helpful and readily available for any random questions that we may have had. Lindsay! We love you bro! BRICK as a venue itself is so so great, it's open and ready to be made into whatever you want for your special day. Pricing of the venue is also great in comparison to other venues that we looked at. Parking is ample and location is unbeatable. We would highly recommend using BRICK for any special occasion!

Working with Kayla was the best decision of our entire wedding planning process! I could write a…read morenovel on how lucky my husband and I were to have worked with her for our wedding in May. We are forever grateful for having her help guide us through one of the most magical chapters of our lives that could have otherwise been incredibly overwhelming and stressful. Fellow couples having a destination wedding, look no further!!! To start, Kayla is truly a powerhouse of an advocate for the couples she works with and is responsible for making our wedding day be the most magical day of our lives. We know that without her, the wedding weekend we had and the circumstances of our wedding day wouldn't have been possible without her. We were so fortunate to have her in our corner through all of the ups and the downs through our 1.5 years of planning. Kayla is an absolute professional. Everyone always says your wedding day will not go perfectly and Kayla executed a 3 day weekend of events with very stressful weather concerns flawlessly while making it look easy and like there wasn't a stress in the world. I know that she protected my husband and I from so much stress and concern through our wedding and we are so grateful of the professional that she is. Kayla is organized, engaged and communicative. Multiple people from our wedding party from both budget and luxury end weddings have shared nightmare stories about their wedding planners being disengaged, uncommunicative and disorganized. However, Kayla exceeded our expectations in every area. She was communicative and responsive to both my husband and I through our entire wedding planning process and beyond, both as individuals and as a couple. She was engaged with our vendors and with our wedding planning. Also, as a type A bride with difficultly letting go of control, she was as type A organized as any event planner could dream of being and any bride could hope for! Often, the wedding planner is often forgotten or standing on the sidelines but not here - my family, wedding party and guests have been raving about Kayla since the wedding over two months ago. She kept a large bridal party focused and organized which is near impossible to do and helped everyone feel prepared for a chaotic weekend. So much so, the weekend was so calm and not chaotic for us at all. The things that could have gone wrong, didn't go wrong because of her and her alone. Kayla also made the wedding planning so fun for my husband and I from beginning to end. I have dreamed of planning my wedding for so long and it was very important for me to have a part in the planning process and not just be along for the ride. Kayla allowed me to walk alongside her through the process in a collaborative approach to wedding planning and not just be on the receiving end of decisions. Lastly, my husband and I both have strong personalities and opinions that often differ and she was patient, kind but also direct and honest with us. We needed someone who could provide us direct opinions and be transparent and honest through the entire process. She was able to do this exceptionally which furthermore describes how professional she is. We will be forever grateful to Kayla and the gift she has given to us of an incredible experience wedding planning and by allowing us to be a guest at all of our wedding events so that we could be present with our friends and family.

Hire Kayla & her team ASAP! She is an ace and was the best decision we made with our wedding…read moreplanning process. I'm very detail oriented and organized and even before I started wedding planning I didn't think I needed more than a day of coordinator and I was so wrong. My husband and I were originally getting married in Cancun Mexico in November 2020 but we had to postpone it to May 2021 but then travel restrictions forced us to postpone again and move our wedding location completely. We found a venue in San Diego we liked but they required us to hire a planner. By this point in the wedding planning process I was fed up and just wanted someone who could essentially take the lead and tell me what I needed to do. From the moment I had my first phone conversation with Kayla trying to find a wedding planner I immediately knew I wanted to hire her. Talking to her didn't feel like she was trying to sell me, she told me her whole philosophy and why she became a planner and how she works and how she grew and trained her team. She told me what was important to her and those things are what matched exactly what I was looking for in a planner. I could tell she genuinely loves what she does and is so passionate about being the planner that the couple needs. Kayla is the absolute sweetest but when she has to, she will lay down the law which is the perfect combination. She will have those honest conversations with you about your budget and if they matched your expectations and when those need adjusting. She also helped us stay on track in planning our new wedding in under 5 months. She made sure we were thinking about every detail and that we had a plan for everything. She helped us stay focused on what was most important to us, but she also made sure Sean and I were taking the time to still enjoy each other in the planning process and sent us some popcorn seasoning for a movie date night in. The month leading up to our wedding, it felt as though we were the only couple Southern House was working with and we're sure that is how every couple feels when working with Kayla and her team. Kayla accomodated to my busy work schedule and knew that texting and hoping on calls during my lunch breaks were the best way to get answers from me. She made sure all the major plans and details were buttoned up a week before our wedding so we could relax and enjoy the days leading up along with our wedding day. Kayla and her team exceeded our expectations on every aspect of planning and executing our wedding day. This day would not have happened if it wasn't for Kayla. Kayla went above and beyond. She worked with our other vendors and threw in extra surprises for Sean and I. Even though she wasn't there physically she was in constant communication with her team. Jessica, Jordyn. & Kellie were so amazing day of the wedding. They were so professional and executed everything perfectly. They were also constantly checking in with the bridal party making sure we had everything we needed and always answered any questions we had. Sean and I didn't have to worry about anything besides getting ready and enjoying our wedding day. We're so glad we had to postpone and move our wedding because in doing so we were able to work with Kayla and we had the best wedding day ever. It was absolutely perfect.

This would not have been possible without Tara of Divine by Design. We informed Tara of our September 2019 wedding back in December 2018 (9 months). She expressed initiative and communicated with us throughout the process both behind‐the-scenes and "on stage". Tara is a Day-Of-Event Coordinator, but for us, she was much more than that: Tara was a mediator who smoothed out any rough patches along the way (vendor contact, logistics, decorations). She was also a counselor during the moments when we were starting to lose our sh*t! Most importantly, she was a planner who held our hands since day one and coordinated every minute of our wedding day - starting early in the morning with decorating the church all the way to the last dance at the end of the night - And when guests were heading out the unintended exit of the venue, Tara relocated the guest gift boxes to the popular exit area. If Tara wasn't our coordinator, our experience would have been a much different story. If you're looking for a Day-of-Event coordinator, do your self a favor and hire Divine by Design.
