From start to finish they were incredibly easy to communicate with- responsive, attentive, and truly listened to what I wanted. Lisa and her team brought my vision to life, and it was even better than I imagined. 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.

I came across his business after yelping a few places, and he offered an in person consultation the very next day (COVID safe of course). We met at my outdoor shower venue, where he brought balloon samples in a variety of colors, and together we reviewed the design and details of my installation. As luck would have it, there was an unexpected morning SHOWER at the park where my event was held (pun intended). Eric patiently waited for the rain to subside and was able to install a beautifully bubbled arch along with the personalized backdrop design of my choice. I highly recommend Eric and his business for your future events! In addition to being punctual, accommodating and patient; he is quickly able to grasp your idea and bring it to life. I am so happy we were able to create a visual that will last a lifetime. Thank you, Eric!

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.

One thing that would be helpful would be the communication after requesting and placing a deposit. Everything was done online via email, but I would have loved to actually speak or text with a live representative during that time and after they asked for the final payment before the actual day. They also asked for a tip prior to the day, but we opted to tip on the day because again, I had already paid for the entire experience before the experience. Thanking God it all worked out!

I contacted the Picnic Collective about an event in San Diego…read more Below is a copy paste of our text correspondence to read for yourself: Me: Hi! I'm just wondering what Oceanside parks (not on sand) you are allowed to host on assuming 8-10 people. PC: I apologize I am not familiar with the city of Oceanside. I think just googling the parks would be your best bet for finding a location Me: Oops sorry I mean ocean side - meaning anywhere in San Diego. Any park that's near an ocean. PC: The only one I am familiar with is South Embarcadero Park Me: Ok so I guess then my question is do you have suggested locations? Or do I research and propose that? Where are you typically hosting picnics I mean? It seems there's a lot of rules so I can't figure out what is and isn't allowed. PC: I think you have to pick a place and then call about that specific place is how it works. Me: Ok no thanks looking to pay someone to do that legwork for me. Thanks. PC: Happy to do that for you. We offer location scouting which we charge $499 for this I was surprised at the price to provide me a list of allowable locations. So I pinged another company to see if they had a list of sites. I got a reply in 5 min with a list of locations that only the county allows. It's a very short list and easily posted online by county. Picnic collective charging you $500 to send this list is a scam and also you should seriously second guess they don't know or supply this to you with your inquiry. When I brought this to PC attention, instead of acknowledging the feedback - they proceeded to engage in a combative back and forth with me. I wonder how many suckers they've gotten for this $500. They're other untrustworthy & ripping people off or unknowledgable. The pure fact they wanted to argue with me on this simple issue was also indicative of what might have happened running a large event with them in recognizing a mistake. Be very careful committing thousands of dollars to an event with them and the county kicking your event out.

I come from a family of over 100 relatives, and they all said this wedding was the best one they have attended in many years -- my relatives can be brutally honest about things they do not like! I had to write this review ASAP to help any couple looking for an AMAZING team to make their wedding day magical and stress-free. I interviewed a few other wedding planners before finding Vivian and her team. The moment I got off the call, I knew we had to book her. I'm an extremely organized and detail-oriented bride so I knew that I wanted a wedding coordinator who I could fully trust to handle all the small details that make a wedding so special. Even though I paid to have Viv as my day of- coordinator, she started the planning process with me months in advance. I was planning a wedding in SoCal while living in the Bay Area, so Viv made sure to schedule our venue walk thru and necessary meetings in advance. From coordinating our many vendors: rentals, lighting, boba, DJ/MC, photo/videographer and photo booth to making sure all our wedding decor was laid out in the way we envisioned and stopping by our airbnb to make sure we were doing well, Viv, Pam, Sarah and Hailey executed our wedding day seamlessly!!! When our close friends asked if there was anything that stressed us out on our wedding day.. we honestly struggled to find anything. Viv made sure our timeline allowed for quiet moments together and plenty of time to enjoy our 8-course asian banquet meal! We hear about many couples not getting enough rest or eating on the wedding day, but we definitely did not have that problem!! Vivian is the type of coordinator who will have your back on the day of your wedding. She remembered details about our wedding design and would check in when she felt a vendor had forgotten something, so that it could be corrected before the wedding began. THIS is seriously what makes Viv and her team so amazing. They had our backs on one of the most important and stressful days of lives. Also, Viv was able to save us a lot of money by giving great tips on where to buy anything wedding related for the best prices. She's and her team are honestly the best!!! I cannot recommend them enough!

I went with 45 min magic show, 20 min balloon twist, and 20 min bubble show. Even though it was raining that day, Dave was very accommodating and communicated with me the different options for a bubble show in case he can't do it outside. He still made it happen and the kids had so much fun popping gigantic bubbles in the rain. I also appreciated how Dave's magic show was age appropriate with the smaller kids but still catered to the adults with a few magic tricks. I can't recommend him enough to other parents who are looking for a party entertainer. Thank you Dave for a memorable party!

Ann was referred to us by family and we're so glad we took the leap with her…read more She is knowledgeable, patient, and you can really tell she puts a lot of love and care into making dreams come true with her clients. Let me tell you... planning a wedding is no small feat, especially when you don't want to bother family and friends. Ann was able to step in and help us through the planning process. I provided Ann with a very vague idea of what my desired aesthetic was. I am so indecisive and totally not creative/artistic but she stood by us with the utmost patience and supported the vision. She pitched ideas and different variations of vendors or styles we could go with. I was always trying to respect her business hours but would text her random questions whenever I'd think of them just so I don't forget... and even during her off hours she would get back to me. She's extremely customer centric in everything that she does. She checked in with us through the whole process, she never pushed us to do things we didn't want to do, never pushed us to spend money that was unnecessary, made sure we stuck to the timeline, made sure the wedding was running seamlessly... Jesus if I were to sit here and type it all out, I might have a novel. The wedding was PERFECT from design to execution and all the vibes! I can definitely say Ann & her team made it possible. I cannot recall one second of the wedding where I was needed for anything which really goes to show she was able to handle everything seamlessly. We are so grateful for Ann & her team and recommend you book with her! Thank you, Ann & team!

With her expertise, she was able to help us craft our perfect timeline and suggest/vet vendors. It was an extra cherry on top that she was familiar with our venue in Orange County, the vendors that we had chosen, and the special Asian cultural elements that we were incorporating. She was an advocate for our wants and needs, ensuring that we had the perfect day. We met with her several times over Zoom months before the wedding and in person for the final details with the venue. She took care of communicating with all of the vendors and ensuring that everything was in place. On the day of the wedding, we truly did not need to worry about anything other than being present and enjoying our selves. Ann and her team took care of resolving everything that pops up with event and vendor logistics, managing the timeline, managing guests and family (especially those who spoke Vietnamese). Her team helped with picking up a lunch order and delivering to our hotel suite, getting the venue set up, and ensuring our photographer got the important photos with the wedding party. Her team made sure we were well hydrated with water and preferred cocktails throughout the night so that we could focus on the party and being with our guests. We are so grateful to have Ann part of our team!
