Hi - I would like to let you know about the favorable transaction I recently had with Margie and…read moreJim Boyce at Plan Ahead Events. I needed 400 shirts and journals for a conference in Oklahoma. I was on a tight deadline and needed our logo re-design for the shirts and journals. I was amazed at how quickly they were able to turn around the art work. I found working with Plan Ahead Events to be an amazing experience. I am not the easiest person to communicate with but they keep me on task with deadlines, updated me on every step in the process, so I was aware of all of the activities. The end product for the shirts and journals they delivered were beautiful and beyond my expectation. The product was actually hand delivered the product to my door step and well before the expected delivery date. Without question, I recommend Plan Ahead Events, and will use them for my next event. Sincerely Kai

SO, I decided to hire Photo3lements for the Holiday party I was planning at AT&T Park for 350 people. They HIT IT OUT OF THE PARK!!!!! (see what I did there?) They provided 2 photographers, photo booth with 2 attendants AND a videographer. Photographers: They were able to capture all aspects of the event in a unique way. I had give them little guidance, as they knew what they were doing. They captured everyone and were everywhere. Something I was concerned with given how big the venue was. They were on it and SUPER pleasant to work with! Photo booth: FUN FUN FUN! The quality and variety of all the props and backdrop options was wonderful! Allan's design of the background on the photos were perfect! Aesthetics are extremely important to me when I am planning events and what he produced was perfect! The attendants made it even more fun and kept the line moving smoothly. I am SO glad that we added this feature!!! Videography: This was such a GREAT option to add!!! Not only did they capture various parts of the event, but they produced a BEAUTIFUL surprise video montage for someone special here. They were discrete and did such a beautiful job putting it together. I am not easy to please. I plan a lot of events and take pride them being executed flawlessly. I am so glad that I hired Photo3lements, as they were a great partner, easy to work with, attentive and positive. I am impressed and hope to used them for ALL of my future events! Thank you so much Allan!

From the moment Victoria stepped in after my original planner had to withdraw, I felt like I could…read morefinally breathe again. What could have been an incredibly stressful process turned into something I truly looked forward to each week. Our planning chats became such a fun and creative outlet for me, and she understood my vision so completely that every mockup she showed me blew me away. As an anxious, type-A bride, having someone so responsive and reassuring (even answering late-night texts) made me feel fully supported throughout the journey. On the wedding day, Victoria went above and beyond in every way. She was there for every moment, literally helping me with dress changes and jumping in to smooth out any little inconvenience before I even had to ask. She even thought of things I never would have, like packing two extra meals for me to take home (because she knew I probably wouldn't eat enough that day) and making sure our cake was wrapped and delivered so we could enjoy it after the wedding. Thanks to her, I was able to be completely present and stress-free, and our family and guests kept telling us it was the best and most well-planned wedding they had ever been to. I'll always be grateful to her for not only bringing my vision to life, but also for caring for us so thoughtfully every step of the way.

To those who are reading this review, I'd first like to congratulate you on your engagement!…read moreSecondly, your search for a wedding planner stops here because Victoria is YOUR GIRL! Victoria is talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before... (basically, she's the entire Lady Gaga meme). I looked into a wedding planner shortly after booking our venue, as things started to feel 'real' and were moving quickly. I had a tons of ideas in my head but didn't know where to start when it came to tying them together. Outside of ideas and aesthetics, plans/vendors/contract agreements seemed to keep changing, and changing, anddd channgginnnggg due to COVID. Hiring Victoria gave us the peace of mind we needed during such stressful time and truly felt like a wedding gift to ourselves. From our intro call to our wedding day - Victoria was extremely prompt, friendly, organized, diligent, and a total rockstar! She was able to take my ideas and translate everything perfectly into the big day. Victoria's thoughtfulness and experience with design, contracts, vendor communication, venues, scheduling/timelines, and her overall feel for the industry as a whole, sets your wedding day up for success (seriously - her scheduling skills are unreal. I don't know how she perfectly designed the day-of to encompass everything we wanted - but she did it and did it seamlessly). I'd hire her for future events and parties in a heartbeat!

Normally I am very tense and self-conscious in front of a camera, but Suszi is so good at getting me to relax and have fun that she is convinced I am a natural :) She understood very quickly the look and mood I was going for and there were many great shots to choose from in the end. The experience was so good that I went to her a couple of years later for another round of headshots, this time in her studio (the first shoot was outdoors), and the result was similarly awesome.

One of my favorite photos is of my daughter, sitting amidst colorful balls, throwing some in the air - her smile makes me smile every time I see the picture. She also put together great pictures of my grandsons, sets of brothers and sets of cousins, that are displayed on bookshelves and the refrigerator, so I can see the boys even when I am not with them. Greatest of all is her patience in setting up photos of an entire family in various settings and groupings - these made for a book of memories that will keep forever.

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!
