VERONICA IS BADASS. Need a wedding planner? Look no further, as she and her team are your gals…read more She managed to pull everything together in the under 90 days of our engagement. That's right - from engagement to wedding in less than three months. Not only did she set us up with the best vendors (Wedding DJ, Special Times Catering, Dani-Lynn w/Allure Salon, the Palms, WeDoDesigns, and Billings Photography) but she helped co-ordinate the intros, the contracts, the payment schedule, and even several walk-throughs. Best part? She was there from start to finish on our wedding day. She made sure everything was "just so" with regards to decorations, she made sure the vendors were set-up and ready to go, and she walked the wedding party through their cues. I think the topper for me was when the venue was - proactively - setting up for rain for the wedding the day AFTER mine. Let's just say their preparations were going to detract from my decor. In a firm, but loving tone, she let the venue know that it was NOT appropriate for the Friday wedding...and to take it down. Which they did. Look no further. 530 Bride is your best bet.

She didn't have the timeline to vendors until a few days before the wedding and some vendors didn't even receive anything.

She had our wedding guest decorate when she said she would handle decoration. She assaulted one of the venue staff, argued with guests, got into verbal altercations with the other vendors, and almost ruin our vintage rental furniture by not following contract directions and living it outside to get wet by the sprinklers. She didn't give our mothers their corsages and our baby flower girl her custom headband. She didn't keep us on schedule that the photographer and dj was keeping track of time.

As the wedding date approached, they became even more involved in every detail, guiding us step by step through the entire process. They worked with us down to the wire with anything from last minute guest updates, to fine tuning details on site, and even stayed until the very end of the night to ensure everything was packed up and we took home all of our personal belongings. Each time we visited the reception venue and met with the on-site coordinators, the team at The Perfect Plan Weddings was right there with us. They listened carefully, offered thoughtful ideas, and reassured us that we were heading in the right direction. Their experience in planning weddings brought clarity and confidence to every decision. We frequently communicated via Zoom, phone calls, emails, and texts messages from the moment we met Shea, Jack, and Paige, all the way up to the wedding itself. They were always available and responsive. They continually shared their expertise throughout planning, making what could have been a stressful time feel organized and manageable. On the wedding day, The Perfect Plan Weddings team was absolutely unbelievable! From coordinating the day of timeline, communicating with our vendors, to managing the flow during the wedding and overseeing the venue details, they handled it all seamlessly. Their attention to detail and calm professionalism allowed us to truly enjoy our day without worrying about a thing. I can't overstate how invaluable they were, especially on the wedding day itself. Plus, unlike most wedding planners, there are three of them. In essence, they could be in three places at once! If you're planning a wedding, reach out to them; you will be amazed! We could not be more thrilled with the outcome. Shea, Jack, and Paige, thank you so much for making our wedding so memorable!

And the best part is after the ceremony they helped take down the linens, candles, flowers etc and packed my car so I could go home and relax after a long day. Paige and team are on top of everything!! Best team in the area hands down!!!

My husband and I got married at Empire Mines on the 14th of August. If it weren't for Dyane and…read moreJeff my wedding day would have never come to fruition. From the first moment I met them for a consultation to the last moment when the lights came on after our last dance at the wedding they were there every step of the way. My husband and I live in Long Beach Ca. and having our wedding in Grass Valley turned out to be a daunting task to execute. So we decided to hire a day of coordinator. We chose Dyane and Jeff for their expertise and experience. Not to mention we clicked right away and I felt completely comfortable in their presence. The overwhelming task of planning a wedding from a fare lessened once my husband and I chose Dyane and Jeff. Let me just say that they go above and beyond what a day of event planner typically handles. They contacted all of our vendors for us multiple times leading up to the wedding insuring everyone was on the same page. They have worked many weddings at the Mines so they are familiar with the rules and regulations that come with having a wedding in a State Park. I brought a lot of DIY stuff and only having 2 hours to set up was daunting task but they handled it to a T. This was because there were multiple e mails and phone calls leading up to the big day. Once again going above and beyond for being a day of event planner! Dyane and Jeff accompanied me on the 30 day walk threw with the park rangers and Dyane was not afraid to be assertive on my behalf with the vision I had for guest once entering the park. Normally the park rangers have the guests enter at a certain location but my vision was to have them enter threw the gardens to get the full experience the park has to offer. One of the Rangers was hesitant to this idea because it had never been done before. Dyane knew this was important to me and was vocal with the ranger and made it happen. Another "issue" was that we had lawn games at the wedding and wanted a place for guest to be able to put their drink and tray passed hourderves while they played their games. The Rangers did not want cocktail tables on the lawn game area which would have made the games difficult to play. Once again they made multiple phone calls to the Rangers on our behalf and needless to say we had cocktail tables on the lawn game area! All of our friends and family said it was the most beautiful wedding that they had ever been to. The venue it self is a great backdrop for an enchanting wedding but the flow and vision of the wedding executed with experts like Dyane and Jeff left it as a magical evening everyone will remember! They kept the night flowing with the behind the scenes details all the while trending to my husband and I to make sure we were taken care of and happy. I can't say thanks enough to these two amazing human beings! They definitely have a great thing going! If you want a stress free magical event where you, friends, and family don't have to lift a finger and just enjoy what should be the best day of your life......... Then I would HIGHLY recommend Special Arrangements! Many thanks from Mr. & Mrs. Kristopher Kiebler

Extremely professional, organized, accommodating and all around amazing! Great listeners and communicators which is huge!!

They were fully involved in the entire wedding planning process, handled the vendors and guests with ease and care.

After our meeting, she drafted a comprehensive Google document to describe the sequence of the ceremony as well as what she plans on saying for each segment, so there is no surprise to the couple on the day of the wedding. We were able to make edits in real time and she would make the adjustments necessary so that we were satisfied with her work. That being said, on our wedding day, the ceremony did not feel scripted at all -- quite the opposite actually! The way Jinnae delivers her words is very authentic and spiritual, and she does so in such a calming manner, all the while reading the audience and knowing when to squeeze in a bit of humor should the atmosphere call for it. We received positive comments from our guests saying how much they loved our officiant's demeanor, and how meditative they felt during the entire ceremony. Our photographer also complimented Jinnae's timing: he said that the ceremony was just the perfect duration. Not too long and not too short. My family is Filipino, and my parents made a request to incorporate "Mano Po" and the cord and veil traditions into our ceremony, which were previously outside of Jinnae's experience. But she spent a considerable amount of her own time to learn about our culture so that she can seamlessly add these traditions into our ceremony, which we greatly appreciated. After our wedding day, she mailed our marriage license to the respective office, and even provided me with advice on how to deal with the office's slow processing times. You will not be disappointed in choosing Jinnae as your officiant. She goes above and beyond, and even provides inspiration for wedding vows, readings, special ceremony additions, etc. If you want a hassle-free wedding ceremony, look no further than Your Ceremony with Spirit!

I am still in awe of how seamlessly our day emerged, how much peace and joy I felt on the day, and how supported and looked after I felt. I owe a HUGE part of this to Ashley Smith, who had our backs throughout the entire process, and was organized down to the smallest detail. We met Ashley through a family connection and had coffee with her months before we knew we'd be connecting again. I instantly felt confident in her from our very first interaction. In the months to follow, we would share texts and emails back and forth, and eventually began Zoom meetings to work out details and wedding timelines. We always left our meetings with more assurance and trust - Ashley thought of everything and had all bases covered. It is incredibly worth the investment to have someone dealing with timeline, transportation and arrival times, and day-of details. We worried about very little (besides the storm we just nearly missed!) on our wedding day. Ashley had the entire event running smoothly and on time, constantly checking up on family members and vendors to ensure everyone was where they needed to be and if they were doing okay. Ashley even checked up on us throughout dinner, seeing if we needed anything and giving us timeline updates. And when my somebody accidentally misplaced my father's reception speech, she came to the rescue! Seriously, we can't thank you enough for being on our team! And to anyone else needing a planner or day-of coordinator for your wedding, look NO further. Book her now! Much love, The Cummings

Mike worked effortlessly with our other vendors to keep everything on schedule while allowing us to simply enjoy the day. As a bride, that peace of mind is priceless. If you're on the fence about adding the photobooth, definitely do it! We have bene receiving pictures of folks hanging them on their fridge, in their car, on their mirror or keeping them in their wallet ever since.

On the day of our wedding, he curated the vibe perfectly and made everything flow smoothly. We didn't need to worry about a single thing knowing that Mike would manage the flow and energy. Our dance floor was so energetic and we got lots of compliments on his upbeat demeanor. A real highlight for our guests was his suggestion entirely, starting dinner with a "Dance for Your Dinner" which got the energy up and primed everyone to get down on the dance floor later.
