Where do I even begin? Frances and her team at Charmed Events are truly wedding planning magicians!…read moreWith 14 years of experience as a Floral and Event Designer myself, I've had the privilege of working with some of the best planners in California. When it came to planning my own Carmel Valley wedding, there was no question in my mind - Frances was the one! Having collaborated with Frances over the years, I've always been struck by her professionalism, attention to detail, and genuinely warm personality. Her design aesthetic is just dreamy - romantic, modern, and effortlessly sophisticated. There's a certain magic in the weddings she designs, always infused with personal touches that make them feel special and unique to the couple. Throughout my wedding planning journey, I gained a newfound appreciation for Frances from a client's perspective. She not only listened attentively to our ideas but also transformed them into a breathtakingly cohesive design concept that perfectly reflected us as a couple. Every detail was just beautiful! Also, amidst some issues that arose with the venue, Frances proved to be our steadfast ally and advocate, navigating unforeseen challenges with grace and diplomacy, ensuring every detail was ironed out. As the wedding approached, Frances introduced us to her principal planner and right-hand woman, Emily. Together, these two are a powerhouse duo! While Emily handled logistics such as transportation, vendor coordination, and timeline, Frances focused on executing the design vision flawlessly. As a complete bonus to their already awesome services, Frances also personally designed all of our signage, menus, seating charts, and programs. Personally, I would have had her design my invitations had I known of her talents sooner! On the big day, Frances and Emily were our guardian angels, orchestrating every moment with precision and grace. Emily's attentive care during the morning-of made me feel like a princess. She brought me and my bridesmaids delicious bites, made sure my dress and veil were perfect during first look photos, and her calming presence helped to ease my nerves. Meanwhile, Frances was busy overseeing the vendors, and set up of the ceremony and reception, which were honestly executed to perfection. The reveal of each space took our breath away and exceeded all expectations. It was truly a fairytale come to life! One more thing I want to mention about these two was that they really listened to our request to make sure that the wedding didn't feel rushed, and that we even had some moments with just the two of us. The timeline was so thoughtfully crafted that on the big day, it really didn't feel like the "blur" that everyone talks about. We were able to be present with each other, and even visit with our guests during cocktail hour and reception. There was a sense of ease about the day that allowed me to really just take it all in, and I think that is very special. Thanks to Frances and Emily, our wedding day was stunningly beautiful, perfectly orchestrated, and absolutely unforgettable. If you're in search of a planner who embodies competence, professionalism, and impeccable style, look no further. With Charmed Events, you'll receive the five-star treatment you deserve and an exceptionally magical day tailored just for you!

From excellent communication to flawless day-of execution and incredible attention to detail, All Set Events truly sets the standard for event planning. Nothing was overlooked - decorations and interior design, logistics and timing, food/beverage/refreshments - everything was intentionally considered, cohesive, and truly professional. And just as importantly, the All Set Events team is warm, graceful, and incredibly hospitable which makes working with them a stress-free and truly delightful experience. We couldn't recommend them more and can't wait to work together again!

I've done the…read moreflower arrangements for this event many times over the years and I can honestly say working along side All Set Events is a pleasure. Her team comes in focused and organized but without the attitude you sometimes get from event planners. Just watching them set up is amazing--every staff member has a floor plan and job to do. Just like a "well oiled machine" they get the job done as quickly and efficiently as possible! They are always in control of the situation and I actually have fun watching them set up. All Set Events handles everything from the coordination of sound and light production, food and beverage service, to stage and decorations. Setting an atmosphere and creating a dramatic first impression is what All Set Events does best. Each event's success depends on all of these things coming together in an organized and united way--and Heather and her team do it with ease. There are always several different vendors at these huge events that have questions and Heather and her team are always the "go-to's" for answers. What I love about All Set Events is if they don't know the answer they will work to get it for you. This is a breath of fresh air in an industry that is sometimes plagued with big egos. I can honestly say I have never met anyone like Heather or her team. They are always willing to go up and beyond for the people/companies they are working for. Working beside them is a pleasure and always makes my job easier!! Tamara Matthews Owner--Janet's Flowers

The only problem was getting a hold of her sometimes and the fact that she met with me only once before the event.

She set up a meeting early and sent us documents that would help us along the way. She would check in and would open herself up to us if needed. Early on I had mentioned to Angelique that I was planning on doing my own florals to help with my budget and she encouraged me and even sent me recommendations on how I could execute my own wedding florals. I ended up going with the floral wholesale shop she recommended and was so happy with my decision. She also gave us recommendations of other wedding vendors. We ended up going with a recommended photographer as well who was very kind to work with and returned photos promptly. Nikki, a Honey and Twine assistant, went with me to my second rental appointment and was so helpful. Nikki had great insight and was a great advocate to have by my side during the appointment. Honey and Twine sent documents, check lists and timelines that helped me the months leading to the wedding. Angelique and Nikki met with me at my venue (which was my brother's house) and had an initial walk-through. Nikki came a second time as well. We felt they knew the space so well and we're confident that everything would fit into place on the day of. They came to the rehearsal and led it well and let us enjoy time with our family. On the wedding day, Honey and Twine truly shined. There was a large structure to cover that ended up being the background of the head table. It looked so great. All the tables looked perfect and they set up the bar and entrance table so perfectly. Just as every wedding has, there was a small hiccup with our rental restrooms where one of the stalls was unusable and I didn't even know about the problem until after the wedding because they did not want to worry the bride. There were 3 Honey and Twine associates at the wedding that made everything look beautiful, run seamlessly and on schedule. We could not be more grateful for Honey & Twine!

When we started planning our wedding in January 2017, my fiancé and I had absolutely no idea what we were doing, or what we wanted our wedding to look like, and it was so wonderful to have Lexi and Brenda there helping us with every detail. They were knowledgable, patient, and most importantly, totally organized and on top of every detail. They also made sure every choice we made kept us within our budget, and gave some great recommendations for vendors. They always got back to us quickly, and knew the answer to every wedding-related question we asked them, big or small. After 10 months of planning with them, four days before the wedding date we had to move the entire wedding after the fires up in wine country threatened our original wedding venue. Lexi and Brenda were never anything but completely competent and professional during this whole process (I was a disaster). They found a new venue in San Francisco with a similar feeling to our original venue and of a similar cost, and dealt with every single vendor so they all moved to our new location. We had 130 guests coming, a third of whom had flown in from Europe, and I honestly don't know what we would have done without Lexi and Brenda. The actual wedding day itself was executed perfectly. With Brenda there running everything, I didn't have a single thing to worry about, and could just enjoy the entire day and night with all my friends and family (and new husband!). Hiring a planner was the first budgetary choice we made for our wedding, and no question it was the best one we made. When things went wrong, Honey + Twine were there to rescue our wedding day, and we won't forget what an amazing job they did!
