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!

Gina was my planner for our May 2026 wedding at Rancho Bernardo Inn, and she did an absolutely…read morefabulous job. From the very beginning, working with Gina gave me complete confidence that every question would be answered and every detail would be handled. On the wedding day itself, I never had to worry about a thing because I knew she had everything under control. Her strong working relationship with RBI was incredibly valuable throughout the planning process and made everything feel seamless. 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.

Every detail was thoughtfully handled, and nothing was overlooked. The level of care and attention they brought to every aspect of the day was incredible. Even the smallest details that mattered deeply to us were executed flawlessly. Throughout the day, we felt completely taken care of. Their calm professionalism allowed us to be fully present and enjoy every moment with our family and friends. Rachel even made a mid-dinner stain on my dress disappear as if it had never happened. And while we know they can't technically control the weather, we're still convinced they found a way to turn an 85% chance of rain into the most beautiful sunny day imaginable. We are endlessly grateful for the care, creativity and heart they brought to our wedding. It was everything we dreamed of and more, and we couldn't have imagined a better team by our side. Some people are meant for days like this, and Molly and Rachel are two of them.

They were setting up for another wedding there and I loved every part of it and had to get their card. From the very beginning they made the entire planning process feel easy and organized. Their use of Aisle Planner was incredibly helpful. We loved that it allowed us to have multiple logins for family members and let us keep track of all contracts, timelines, and details in one place. Molly and Rachel were always quick to respond to any questions we had and they kept us on track every step of the way. I never felt like I had to check in or worry about what needed to be done because I knew they would let us know exactly when something needed attention. They know Scripps Seaside Forum so well and gave us the best vendor recommendations. We truly loved every single referral they provided. Even once peak wedding season began, we never felt overlooked. They continued to be responsive and attentive, even on weekends when they were busy working other weddings. Molly and Rachel are professional, organized, knowledgeable, and have such a great eye for design. On our wedding day when the weather unexpectedly changed, they made the transition to Plan B feel seamless. They gave me their honest opinion about what would make our guests most comfortable and create the best experience given the circumstances, which I appreciated so much. I truly could not recommend Molly and Rachel enough. They made the planning process so much easier and helped us feel completely taken care of from start to finish.

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.

She also set up decorations so well, better than I had envisioned, and she was so patient and thoughtful of my guests and vendors alike, checking in on every single person. At the end of the wedding day, she quietly packed everything back up and helped store it away, taking away the headache of clean-up. She really made the day so special and we could not thank her enough. PLUS, she even took candid shots of us and made the cutest Instagram post (photos and videos). So thoughtful!

We couldn't have asked for a better coordinator and highly recommend her to any couple looking for someone who truly cares and goes the extra mile! Heather was also wonderful to work with! She was knowledgeable, thorough, always kind and easy to communicate with throughout the planning process. We appreciated that she shared photos of the different flower options as well as table decor she provides (candles, lamps, tea lights etc). When I saw the flowers on our wedding day, I was in awe--they were absolutely stunning and exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Heather for any event that needs beautiful, high-quality florals!

A simple review can't adequately express how outstanding Kylie is!…read more My now husband and I decided that we did not want to have a long engagement, and that we wanted to plan our wedding in 6 months. We knew it was a crazy choice with how overwhelming wedding planning is nowadays, and honestly questioned whether it would even be possible. When we first met with Kylie, I was overwhelmed and feeling embarrassed in how behind I already felt in the process. Every time we met with Kylie, she made us feel so much better, never was judgmental for how much planning progress we had/had not made, and always made things feel possible and attainable. Throughout the process, Kylie was incredibly communicative. She was always willing to hop on a quick call or Zoom meeting, and was constantly responding to all our silly questions via text or email with lightning speed. Beyond this, we also deeply appreciated how willing Kylie was to give her thoughts/opinions, even if they differed from ours. I can imagine it's a difficult line to walk because weddings are so personal, but I was always so thankful when she would give her two cents because she was the expert and I truly didn't know anything! We didn't think our experience could get better, but it did on our wedding day. I am the most type A person there is, and anyone who knows me knows that I should have been absolutely freaking out the whole day. In reality, I have never been more calm, as I genuinely felt like everything had been 110% taken care of (and it was!). Throughout the day, countless family members and guests came up to me to compliment Kylie's attentiveness, preparedness, and thoughtfulness. It was so obvious to everyone who came in contact with her that day. We honestly feel as though Kylie is a friend of ours now, not just someone who made our day the very best it could be. Thank you Kylie and Sweet Blossom!!!!

She is organized, thoughtful, calm under pressure, and genuinely cares about the couples she works with. Knowing Kylie was there allowed us to be completely present and enjoy every moment because we knew everything was in the best hands. When people ask us about our wedding, one of the very first things we mention is Kylie. She wasn't just our wedding planner, she became such an important part of our day. Her kindness, professionalism, and attention to detail made everything feel seamless, joyful, and unforgettable. She was by far our favorite "vendor," although calling her that doesn't begin to capture everything she meant to us. If you're considering Sweet Blossom, stop looking and book them. Kylie exceeded every expectation we had, and we will always be grateful for the care, heart, and passion she poured into making our wedding the happiest day of our lives.

I would highly recommend Korie to anyone looking for a coordinator who goes out of her way to make sure all of your needs are taken care of. She made a huge difference and helped make our wedding day feel stress-free and well organized. Before my wedding, I interviewed a number of people and Korie stood out the most to me. I love that she is always so energetic and lively, I need that kind of person around me. Always nearby to make sure I was taken care of with whatever I needed. Thank you Korie for giving me a magical experience the past weekend, I can't thank you enough! :)

Julie Castro was our event coordinator, and she is a true professional who knows her stuff. She is very responsive to inquiries, and is very flexible with all the changes and challenges that arise for throwing a large party. She is kind and cares about her clients and helping them bring their vision to life. We appreciate all her efforts in making our event a phenomenal success. It was an amazing and fun party! We had shrimp ceviche and chicken empanadas as well as fruits, veggies, dips and crackers for appetizers. These were a huge hit with all our guests. For main entrees we had chicken and pot roast with twice baked potatoes, grilled veggies and oriental salad along with rolls and butter. The meats were so scrumptious and tender. We had an abundance of compliments from our guests on how fabulous the food tasted. The staff working our event under the leadership of Danny was superb. They handled all our requests promptly and with the utmost professionalism. For a company that came in at the lower end when pricing caterers, the quality of the service and products they deliver are on par with high end caterers. We loved the food and service provided by Ranch Events. In fact, they catered two of my other cousins events prior, so they came highly recommended to us. They delivered beyond what we could have asked or imagined. Don't delay, book with Ranch Events today.

We worked with Rachel and Jordan and booked about 1.5 years in advance. They were communicative and very flexible with my multitude of changes throughout the year and a half working with them. I was even able to add a cake tasting and cake later on and change certain rentals very close to wedding date. They were patient and accommodating and willing to make just about anything work! My guests were incredibly happy with the food and the service, and my husband and I absolutely loved the waiter assigned to us on wedding day! The only thing that went wrong was half of our string lights (required by DH) went out for the entirety of the seated meal due to an installation error. I'm not docking any points from rating as this was a genuine mistake and WTC reached out to their EPR contact right away to have them return to site and get it fixed. It did take about an hour+ to resolve but WTC was very apologetic and even provided a a partial refund for the lighting. One thing we were bummed about was that cake service occurred during the main dance floor time and if cake wasn't accepted from the server, it was a missed opportunity. According to my guests, about 90% of people didn't get cake as it wasn't left on tables and most people were on the dance floor. 2.5/3 sheets cakes remained at the end of the night. One big win was TWC was so organized and accommodating for the many dietary restrictions/allergies we threw at them and served our guests appropriately. We received no complaints and guests and family said it was handled seamlessly! All in all, my husband and I were so pleased with our decision to work with WTC and will forever cherish the role they played in making our day amazing!
