Just last weekend I had the pleasure of working with her @ a wedding on Market St. in San Francisco. I had a ton of equipment and didn't know where to load in. I called Linda and she explained the exact route to a very smooth load in. She makes sure everybody (bride+groom+guests+vendors) has a great experience. I'm always very excited to see her name on upcoming events. She has great assistants too!

Out of the goodness of her heart, she stepped in, took on the final plans and details for our wedding, and made it even better than we could've hoped for. When working with Joellen, you're in the good hands of a professional who knows her stuff! She was extremely kind and communicative. She relieved us from a time that was quickly becoming stressful, allowing us to enjoy the time before, during, and after our wedding. We can't sing her praises enough!

I have high expectations in general and I had the highest expectation for the wedding arch. Joellen's arch went beyond my expectation -- It was full, exactly the colors we wanted, and it shaped so beautifully as we exchanged our vows -- I literally was crying looking at it! She was thoughtful and professional to my requests, and I really enjoyed the entire process with her. It's rare to find someone like her -- Joellen's work is art.

Although I had a skeleton or idea of what my husband & I wanted our wedding to look like (color scheme, concept boards, size of venue, timelines, etc.), she was able to help really clarify details, bring in new suggestions, and point out so many things that we didn't even think of. As an event planner, it was comforting to know that she had experience with so many different ceremonies and parties, whether it be events in banquet halls or ceremonies in the SF Civic Center. Her funny, yet serious, personality made it easier to relax and build trust with her. She was easy to get ahold of (but then again, I wasn't exactly the type of bride that reached out to her constantly - not that it's a bad thing!) What she helped us accomplish was incredible. She - assisted in planning - reached out to vendors if we were experiencing trouble - sat down with us and laid everything out to help create a visual - coordinated with vendors prior to the wedding day and on the actual day - executed the timeline & worked alongside the DJ as MC My husband & I began planning a formal and small (120 guests) event only 5 months prior, and Kristine was able to come in a month before the wedding and accomplish so much with us and for us. Thanks so much to Catalyst Events!

If you have any question in your mind as to whether or not you need a wedding planner... DO IT!…read moreSeriously, booking Nicole was the BEST decision we made (aside from getting married in the first place, of course!) Words cannot begin to describe how incredible Nicole is at wedding planning and coordinating. From the get-go, she was professional and responsive, giving us guidance where we needed and helped come up with ideas for decor and overall theme. She even made several trips out to the venue with us, to meet with the on-site coordinator (who, compared to Nicole, might as well have been a scarecrow). She was responsive to emails, and even helped guide us on how to deal with difficult vendors. Day-of she was running around, cool and collected, making sure everything went together perfectly... of course we didn't even see/notice her doing this, as is the sign of a master! If anything did go wrong, we were unaware of it (seriously). Set up a consultation with her and I can promise that you will feel just the way that we did throughout the entire process - happy to have her in our lives. THANK YOU AGAIN NICOLE! You really are the greatest :)

She is not expensive but I would have paid a much higher rate for the job she did!. Some of her services come for free when you use Michael Goldstein catering, like having her help with the rentals, the timelines, and the overall look of the tables, etc. She coordinates with the rental people and puts together a package of informaton on how you wanted things set up etc. For a small fee you can hire her to be there the day of the wedding to carry out these plans you and her talked about. She also coordinated the ceremony, was at the rehearsal to work with my wedding party etc. Patty is AMAZING!! She stayed beyond the time we paid her for to make sure everything got cleaned up and to keep the site manager happy, was on top of everything that happened both days of the events, helped me in every way possible, and never let me know when something behind the scenes was going wrong. She called all the vendors a week before the wedding and asked them to call her and not me if they had any questions etc. I had a crazy wedding site owner who made thing s a little difficult for Patty and a few vendors, but I was oblivious to it, and thats why she was worth every penny ( and honestly she doesnt charge many of them, especially for the job she did.) When two extra kids showed up at the rehearsal, before I even processed that they were there, Patty came up to me and knew what was happening and told me she was going to put two more place setting out without making a big deal or making anyone feel uncomfortable I cant say enough how Patty made this wedding what it was. I feel so lucky to have found her and the Michael Golstein catering team, and am so grateful to them. Please consider using Michael and Patty as you wont be let down. Thank you everyone on the team that day!

When planning our wedding reception, we had made no plans to get a Day-of-Coordinator. I had…read moreworked banquet events in the past and thought I would be fine pulling one off on my own. As we got closer to the wedding day, I found myself stressing more and more about pulling everything off. Luckily our caterer Michael Goldstein had worked with Patty in the past and highly recommended her services. From the minute we met, Patty put me completely at ease. She has a calming, yet detailed-oriented, presence about her. We had our wedding two weeks ago and everything came together and went beautifully. The only hiccup was transportation at the end of the night. After a couple of my bridesmaids got stranded at the venue (taxis weren't coming to the venue anymore), Patty was nice enough to give them a ride back to their hotel. We are so glad that we hired her and as my fiancee said "Patty's help was worth her weight in gold!!"

She is very professional and punctual, her designs for our wedding reception was Astonishing!!! Planning a wedding can be very stressful with all the detailed information for vendors, venues decorations, etc. But Loran relieved me of the stress for our wedding reception, which was AWESOME!!!! This allowed me to focus time in other areas for our wedding. She was there early to set up the venue, she also set up the venue in a timely manner; the decorations for our wedding reception was BREATHTAKING for my husband and I. We were really happy, and will use them again. Royal Vine Design is the way to go!!!! By giving Loran an idea of your vision she can make it happen, this is definitely a gift from god that she is blessed with. I am truly grateful to have had Loran from Royal Vine Design decorated my wedding reception the name speaks for it self. The service, and decorations was ROYAL and on your wedding day or any major event you should feel like Royalty and that is just how we felt. Thank you Royal Vine Design!!!!!
