I was referred to her by a mutual friend and I couldn't of been happier. With her bubbly personality and attention to detail she brought together each detail I mentioned for my reception. She transformed our venue into a beautiful intimate space we invisioned. In addition to her floral skills, Lisa stepped up where most vendors would not. During our big day, there were multiple changes due to an electrical problem at our venue. Lisa not only drove to multiple locations to save my family and friends from having too, but also provided me with video updates throughout the day to ensure I was a happy bride! Thank you again for helping make our day perfect!!

Post-wedding, we received so many compliments on the food from our guests- many stating that it "was the best steak I've ever had at a wedding." The team was wonderful, and we were so pleased. Would definitely hire them again and most certainly recommend!

Our guests have not stopped talking about how delicious everything was -- people were truly obsessed. It was freezing outside, but the food completely stole the show and kept everyone happy and cozy all night long. In fact, we actually ran out of food because guests kept going back for seconds (and thirds), which says everything about how amazing it all tasted. Every detail was thoughtful, flavorful, and beautifully done. Thank you for bringing so much care, warmth, and talent to our wedding day. You made the celebration feel so special, and we are beyond grateful!

Jessie is an absolute gem of a person and is worth her weight in gold for your special day!…read more Everyone told me I was so calm the week of my wedding and I know it's in part that I trusted Jessie to execute and coordinate with our amazing vendor team. Not only did she seamlessly keep everyone in check and on schedule, but she rolled with the punches and found solutions on the fly. It was an absolute pleasure to meet her and work with her. Thank you so much Jessie!!

Jessie is the best of the best, inside and out! Our story with Jessie is unique-- we met her in the…read moremiddle of our wedding planning process, when she stepped in last minute to help us amidst tragic circumstances. We cannot thank her enough for adopting us and taking us "over the finish line" to make our wedding a reality. From the instant we had our first call, we immediately felt at ease that Jessie knew what she was doing. She had this infectious optimism, lightheartedness, and go-getter mentality that made us feel so confident and excited about wedding planning (two words I don't normally associate with planning a wedding, LOL). She is super well-connected in the Central Coast area and knew basically all our vendors personally. She was super communicative and always available over text to handle any little fires. She interfaced with all our vendors, including our after-party venue, and negotiated with them to save us $$! I kept wondering if I needed to be calling a vendor or following up with anything, but Jessie took care of everything! Whenever anyone asks how the wedding went, I can truly say it was a perfect day and nothing went awry. The truth is, I'm sure something didn't go the way it was supposed to, but that just means Jessie and her team handled it before I even knew it happened. Jessie, you are truly a godsend and I am so, so thankful for your presence in our lives during this season!! We love you!! -Sarah and Bryan

Jade was incredible to work with! We hired her for Month of Coordination, and I encourage you to…read morehire her for at least that (if not a larger planning package). From Day 1 of having her on our team, even before the official "month-of," she shared her advice, amazing vendors and kind heart with us. Pretty much every vendor we used came from her list! Also, using her planning software was super helpful to keep us all on the same page. This was a destination wedding, and planning this mostly through COVID, she worked well with the limitations and was very flexible. All of our family and friends commented about how great she was at the rehearsal dinner and wedding. She ended up planning our entire rehearsal dinner and it was INCREDIBLE! She made it an evening we will never forget, perfectly matching our style as a couple. The day of our wedding ran smoothly, and if there were any hiccups we never saw them! She made us feel special, and I trusted her completely with anything that came up. She was organized, got our large bridal party to everywhere they needed to be, and worked hard the entire time. As a side note: her husband Derek Preciado was our photographer/videographer for the day, and those two make an amazing pair. She joined us on our engagement shoot to get to know us better. If the two of them are both free on your wedding day, scoop them up!!

We…read moreutilized the coordinator package so I had already set up most of the vendors and made some arrangements but Jade's expertise made our day go so smoothly. Having Jade and her excellent assistant there day-of made it so that we could truly enjoy our wedding and not have to put our siblings and parents, "To work," so they could relax and just celebrate with us. During our venue walk-through, Jade was taking measurements and sketching a layout of tables and where vendors could go, making sure it was how we would like it to be. She knew to ask all the questions to our venue that we would have never thought of but are logistically important (details regarding rental drop off and pickup, etc). If you are lucky enough to find Just as Promised available for your date, I would recommend you jump on it!

Her and her team were able to expertly execute my day and we're outstanding partners throughout the entire planning process. They helped me get tire grease out of my dress, they made sure that my fiancé showed up to the ceremony on time, and they expertly handled multiple family members in our processional. They are able to make outstanding recommendations for any and all vendors that you're looking for, and they even do their own floral arranging if that's something you're interested in. We are incredibly grateful to Krissy and the team for all of their hard work and we are so glad for any couple who gets to work with them in the future.
