    Hiring Melissa was hands-down the best decision that we made throughout the process of planning our wedding.

    I hired Heather for my destination wedding out in Ventura California. BEST DECISION I HAVE MADE FOR…read moreMY WEDDING. She got all my vendors lined up (all I had to do was pay), she gave me more than what I could ask for esthetically, she is not only an amazing planner, but an amazing human being. If you're wanting a wedding planner that knows her thing, its her. She helped me all the way from Oklahoma. Thank you Heather, Three Sisters Team, and her in-house florist Courtney. You made my wedding everything I wanted and more.

    TLDR: We paid thousands to have our day filled with stress and mismanagement at every turn…read more Specific photos were missed, rings were missing, and ZERO coordination was done. We also hired their florist who was overwhelmed, overpromised and underdelivered and needed extra help. Three Sisters was the most disappointing and frustrating vendor in every sense. Would rate 0 stars if could. Stay away. We were assured on every call, "We just want you to relax and not worry about anything on your big day. We got this." It was surprising to hear at the rehearsal that "We aren't allowed on site until noon." The bride and bridesmaids were arriving at 9am. "The photographer is coming at 11am," we said. "Oh, they're the exception." We asked the event site coordinator who said they could've been there at 9am with us. We hired Three Sisters for the primary purpose of making sure the bride's stepmother did not interfere with any of the activities. This was repeated ad nauseum on every pre-planning call and stressed repeatedly. Within minutes of her arriving (and the groom saying, "That's her.") she had already made it into the bridal suite (where there was no coordinator at any time in the day assisting with all the logistics. When asked the coordinators said, "we are overwhelmed." The rings were not present immediately before the ceremony. The groom noticed last minute. Christina shrugged. She had been told where they were in the morning and forgot. They did not exchange contact information or start a group chat with the venue coordinators when one was asked to call our coordinator and ask where they were. A bridesmaid had to run up on a golf cart to get them. There was never any coordinator around when ANY photos were being taken despite them providing all our photo pairings and shot list as asked. Many photos were missed completely. At post-ceremony photos, family members left the ceremony site. We looked at each other and realized we had coordinators to help. Christina was cleaning between chairs. The groom explained to her to arrange the next group of family members the subsequent set behind them. Like a coordinator should be doing. There was no bouquet for the toss nor a coordinator anywhere to be found. The photographer had to take flowers out of a vase on the table. The flowers were sparse and did not match the pictures of inspiration provided. The bridal bouquet was tiny and had roses despite asking and told that ranunculus was available. The groom asked for sage and was given the eucalyptus he did not want. We said "lush." The sweetheart table to be covered, and you could see our legs and if we dropped food or silverware. The five beams cost $1800 to have a single strand of thin ivy wrapped around them. It looked like a string of Xmas lights. Heather helped her florist sister all day rather than focus on events. At one point they drove by on a golf cart and asked the groom, "Have they found the missing bouquet?" That is something he needs to worry about? During the middle of our dinner walked to our table to ask, "Are you mad at me?" Heather sent some staff off to eat off site bc "I forget who on my team has food allergies" despite us asking specifically being told none. Staff left on our dime. Uber Eats also would've been a better option. They asked the father of the bride for his speech (so he could "relax") and then lost it so we had to track it down. When the bridal processional started, the quartet played for 30 seconds before the gates were opened. Christina kept asking the bride if she was ready and she replied "Yes" three times while Christina just stared back but did not open the gates until the father of the bride had to sternly tell her to. This was the most awful and stressful experience and at no point in the day was anything coordinated. It was just made more complicated. We could've handled all the above had we known it was our responsibility. Instead, we TRUSTED them to take care of everything, and they blew it. It should be noted in response to the above they replied in email that not all of it was their fault. They would send us a follow-up email explaining what was not. That has still not been received but should be no surprise.

    This company is a nightmare. We rented 50 chairs and 5 tables for an event, and they were supposed…read moreto handle both delivery and pickup as part of the service. Instead, they forced us to pick everything up ourselves at the last minute because they suddenly "didn't have a driver." Fine, we made it work and hauled it all home. When it came time for pickup after the event, they hit us with a surprise $170 pickup fee--even though we live only 5 miles from their location in Ventura. On top of that, they tried to tack on a $70 gas fee for the short drive. None of this was ever mentioned upfront in the quote, contract, or any conversation. Zero transparency. When I pushed back and said we couldn't bring it back ourselves (which is why we rented with delivery/pickup in mind), they basically shrugged and said tough luck--they knew we had no other option and squeezed us anyway. This feels straight-up predatory. They bait you with one price, change the terms to inconvenience you, then slap on massive hidden fees when you're stuck. Customer service was dismissive and unapologetic--no refunds, no credits, no accountability. They clearly take advantage of people who are already stressed planning events. I've heard similar stories from others about surprise charges and poor communication. Save your money and your sanity--rent from literally anyone else. This place is not worth the hassle or the extra costs they sneak in. Avoid Ventura Party Rental at all costs!

I would book with them again no questions asked. We rented our tables, arch, chairs, heaters, corn hole and dance floor from them and wow it was beautiful! Thank you Ventura Rental.

    Where do we even begin? Cari was hands-down one of the best decisions we made for our entire…read morewedding. From the start, she brought order, warmth, and expertise to every step of the planning process. She was thorough on every phone call, making sure no detail was overlooked, and always followed up with clear documentation so we felt fully prepared and at ease. When we needed candles for the reception, she didn't just point us in a direction, she tapped into her wholesale connections and placed the order herself. That kind of initiative was incredibly helpful. On the day itself, Cari was everything we could have hoped for. She was incredibly responsive, on top of every moving piece, and made the entire day run so smoothly. She set up everything beautifully and went above and beyond to help us pull it all together and then clean it all up at the end of the night. We received so many compliments from friends and family about how perfectly everything came together, and people made an effort to tell us that they thought her work was fantastic. If you are looking for a wedding planner, stop here and book her. You will not regret it. We are endlessly grateful. -- Jess & Nick Kravchuk

    We chose AOE and Cari from a recommendation from a different planner that was unavailable for our…read moredate. Throughout the planning process, Cari was friendly, responsive and seemed genuinely invested in helping everything go smoothly. We felt confident and supported in the few weeks before the event. However, one of the biggest issues was regarding the deposit. I was sent Zelle information from Cari which is where the deposit was sent. I had informed Cari when the deposit was submitted but the next day received many frantic calls and emails from her stating her email was hacked and it was not where the deposit needed to go. She apologized and reassured this had never happened before, but instead of taking accountability it felt that she was blaming me for her information not being secure. I had informed her I would wait until my bank got back to me about the payment refund to submit the remaining balance, but instead I was sent an email that she would need to cancel our date due to the deposit not being paid in time. After reaching out to her she explained because she had not heard back or received payment, that she would need to cancel. I thought it was odd considering the situation, and thought she would give us some grace with the deposit. Regardless, I unfortunately sent an additional payment that same day to keep our scheduled date. We never got the deposit back. Unfortunately, our experience on the wedding day did not meet the expectations that had been set. Several details that we discussed beforehand were either missed or not executed as planned, which resulted in added stress for us and our families. The ceremony walk through was The largest complication for me was that the vendor list did not have the correct address to the venue. This would have been fine, however Cari also went to a different venue making her set up time later than expected. We arrived 30 minutes later than expected to cocktail hour and I was not made aware of the address issue until we arrived at the parking lot of our venue and my sister and photographer were at the wrong venue. When I called Cari her response to me was "Yeah, I also went to the wrong address. But I did send you guys the vendor list to confirm the address". We had many meetings regarding venue and set up and she was in contact with the venue coordinator as well, so I acknowledge that we should have corrected the address on the email, but we assumed it was correct since we discussed drop-off locations and initial conversations being at the correct address. We also thought if she knew it was the wrong address, we would have loved her to reach out to everyone and explain the mistake immediately so that no one else would also be late. She had also recommended we move our cocktail up sooner for the flow of the ceremony to reception dinner, so we moved from 6-7pm to 5-6pm. We also had an additional person available for table set up with the venue reserved, and when asked Cari confirmed we would not need the additional help so we cancelled this option. On the day of, we arrived 30 minutes later than expected to cocktail hour with her still setting up. According to our guests that arrived on time, nothing was ready when they got there. After 15 minutes since arriving, the table set up was incorrect, the seating chart was laid out flat on a table due to wind, people were sitting inside at their tables already, no music playing, the outdoor lay out was incorrect, and our photographer was at a different location. Another thing to note was that there was no conversation on how the cocktail and other tables were to be set up so I had sent photos for reference just in case the week before. I was a little disappointed that these little details were not confirmed in advance. Afterwards, there were also other minor issues that could have been avoided with better planning as well, but these were the bigger issues. It was unfortunate to hear from my friends and family that they noticed these issues as well, and were checking in on how I was feeling throughout the reception, which is not something you want your guests to notice. We found ourselves addressing issues that we expected would have been managed by Cari taking away from our ability to fully enjoy the day. Her start time was not until the afternoon as well, so the morning was open to confirming and finalizing details if needed. While we appreciate the effort and professionalism shown during the planning stages, the day-of coordination itself fell short of what we anticipated. Ultimately we were disappointed that the execution did not match the level of preparation and confidence established beforehand. We also did not hear from her afterwards until one week later after I reached out to confirm our certificate was submitted (she offered to do). A sincere apology would have been appreciated. I hope this feedback is helpful for future couples and provides an opportunity for improvement for Cari and her team.

    We hired Tiffany and her team as partial wedding planners where they became our full planners six…read moremonths before the wedding day. Tiffany was still available and helped us so much with booking vendors before the six months though so it did not feel like we just started being their clients at the 6 month mark. During our monthly phone calls, Tiffany was super detail oriented and made sure everything was being done on time. She provided really valuable insight and vision, helping with design, wedding flow, vendor requests, and infinite other items. Although we had our monthly calls, she was always available to us via text, email, and other calls if needed. She communicated with vendors on our behalf as well and made the whole process so much easier for us. On the wedding day, Tiffany and her team SHOWED UP. I cannot stress enough how much Tiffany and her team seamlessly and professionally ran the day. I did not notice anything go wrong, my husband did not notice anything go wrong, our families did not notice anything go wrong. Her team kept everything running so smoothly and went above and beyond making sure me and husband, as well as our families, felt like royalty the whole day. The fact we could turn our brains off and just enjoy the magic of our wedding was so incredible. I was able to relax and I knew that Tiffany had it covered. She was in our corner and we could really feel that the whole time. I could not recommend Tiffany and her team highly enough. Fair and transparent pricing, attention to detail, communicative and highly responsive, goes above and beyond for her clients. Tiffany and her team exceeded our expectations and made our wedding day truly the best day our of lives.

From the moment we began working together, they were on it -- communicative, detail-oriented, and incredibly thoughtful. On the wedding day, we felt completely taken care of. They managed everything from getting us food during cocktail hour to fluffing my dress, holding our glasses and hats, coordinating vendors, and getting everyone to where they needed to be. It genuinely felt like having a partner in planning. I didn't have to worry about a single thing -- every detail, every piece of signage, every vision we had was executed perfectly. They even handled all our personal items from the room and made sure everything was in place. The whole experience felt effortless and seamless. No notes. Worth every single penny.
