We cannot say enough great things about the Lavish Wedding Team, and especially Gabriela! From the…read moremoment we met Gabriela, it was clear that she wasn't just a wedding planner--she was someone deeply invested in making our wedding day a reflection of us as a couple. She took the time during our very first meeting to ask about our personal story--how we met, how my husband proposed, and what made our relationship unique. This was something no other planner had done, and it immediately made us feel like we were in the hands of someone who truly cared. She has become more than just a wedding planner, and is now one of our friends. Our wedding was a beautiful blend of two distinct cultures, and Lavish went above and beyond to ensure that every detail honored both of our traditions in a way that felt seamless and cohesive. Gabriela found creative ways to incorporate elements of each culture into the decor, ceremony, and reception, making our celebration not just special, but incredibly personal. Her thoughtful approach to merging these cultural elements was absolutely perfect, and we were so grateful for the care she took to ensure everything felt authentic and meaningful. On top of all that, the Lavish team was incredibly attentive to every last detail. There were a few last-minute challenges on the day of the wedding, and they handled them with such grace and professionalism that we didn't have to worry about a thing. If you're looking for a wedding planning team who will go above and beyond to make your day as special as it can be, look no further than Lavish.

Hands down the best wedding planner we could've ever asked for! It was sheer perfection! I had a…read morevision from the start and Gabriela executed it 100%. From the planning process to day of coordinating, you will be in great hands. My husband even said that the day-of coordinating was one of the best things he's ever experienced. I'm such a Type-A person, but I left everything in their hands and they delivered! Everyone always says something goes wrong on wedding day, but I truly cannot think of anything that went wrong. 10/10 recommend the Lavish team!

Every detail was thoughtfully handled, and nothing was overlooked. The level of care and attention they brought to every aspect of the day was incredible. Even the smallest details that mattered deeply to us were executed flawlessly. Throughout the day, we felt completely taken care of. Their calm professionalism allowed us to be fully present and enjoy every moment with our family and friends. Rachel even made a mid-dinner stain on my dress disappear as if it had never happened. And while we know they can't technically control the weather, we're still convinced they found a way to turn an 85% chance of rain into the most beautiful sunny day imaginable. We are endlessly grateful for the care, creativity and heart they brought to our wedding. It was everything we dreamed of and more, and we couldn't have imagined a better team by our side. Some people are meant for days like this, and Molly and Rachel are two of them.

They were setting up for another wedding there and I loved every part of it and had to get their card. From the very beginning they made the entire planning process feel easy and organized. Their use of Aisle Planner was incredibly helpful. We loved that it allowed us to have multiple logins for family members and let us keep track of all contracts, timelines, and details in one place. Molly and Rachel were always quick to respond to any questions we had and they kept us on track every step of the way. I never felt like I had to check in or worry about what needed to be done because I knew they would let us know exactly when something needed attention. They know Scripps Seaside Forum so well and gave us the best vendor recommendations. We truly loved every single referral they provided. Even once peak wedding season began, we never felt overlooked. They continued to be responsive and attentive, even on weekends when they were busy working other weddings. Molly and Rachel are professional, organized, knowledgeable, and have such a great eye for design. On our wedding day when the weather unexpectedly changed, they made the transition to Plan B feel seamless. They gave me their honest opinion about what would make our guests most comfortable and create the best experience given the circumstances, which I appreciated so much. I truly could not recommend Molly and Rachel enough. They made the planning process so much easier and helped us feel completely taken care of from start to finish. My mom and I are counting down the days for my little sister to get engaged just so we can work with them again!!

WOW! Where to begin? I discovered Jen when I saw her car parked in front of my gym with a gorgeous…read morewindow decal advertising her coordination services. I was less than five months away from my wedding and really beginning to feel the heat. I emailed her later that day inquiring about what sort of services she provided. She responded promptly and we set up a day to meet. We met at a local coffee shop and discussed everything I needed to know; I asked questions and she gave me answers, and in turn she took notes on every detail of my wedding (thus far). She was professional, warm and friendly and I felt comfortable discussing my special day with someone who seemed to know so much about the business of wedding coordination. I knew as soon as our initial meeting was over I knew that I wanted to work with Jen. I checked with my soon-to-be husband and family and we finalized our decision with a simple contract to use Jen for her "Day Of" coordination. We had a few meetings between then and the wedding, but most of our communication was through email and phone. She visited my venue with me shortly before the wedding to help me smooth out a couple of kinks, and gave me options and ideas for any other problem I had. Fast-forward to our wedding day. Everything went PERFECTLY. I can't even begin to say how grateful I am that we decided to work with Jen. My dad had arrived at the venue hours before I did to help set up, and later couldn't stop expressing how impressed he was with Jen's professionalism. When the rental company, caterers and guests showed up, she directed everyone exactly where they needed to go. I had also wanted to make a cute sign to help mark the path for our guests but hadn't found time; Jen arrived the morning of the wedding with the most adorable sign she made just for us! Such a sweet, simple gesture that meant so much. Our wedding went off without a hitch, I didn't have to think about anything, and she made sure I remembered to eat amongst all the fluster :) We couldn't have been happier! It's true what they say, brides... your coordinator is the BEST gift you could give yourself! I highly recommend Jen for your special day!

For the rehearsal, and for the big day she was incredible! She had back-up bobby pins to fix a bridesmaids dress when a strap snapped as we were walking in to the venue. She helped us accommodate for traffic, and then once the day started, she took care of everything. My wife or I didn't have to worry about anything, she guided us on where to go when, corralled our parties for pictures, and made sure we always had a beer in hand. Jen and her partner really took away all the stress of the day, and allowed us to fully relax and enjoy it. She was able to work closely with the venue to make sure everything worked, deal with tough conversations, and overall just made everything amazing. Thank you to Jen and Day of Love!

The entire Epic Events team, especially Julie, Laura, Mary, and Drew--were incredible! Drew, our…read moreday-of coordinator, kept everything on track and running smoothly all day without us ever feeling overwhelmed. As a very type A bride, I was especially impressed by the attention to detail at our event and how he anticipated our needs throughout the day. Our grand exit was even way more fun than we imagined--they had our guests create an arch with their glow sticks for us to run through! Our DJ was also fantastic, keeping the energy high and the dance floor full all evening. We really got the best of the best!! I highly recommend Epic Events Group for your wedding day!

As our coordinator, partial planner, and florist, Melissa helped us manage our timeline and…read moreexpectations very well from the moment we hired her. She knew when to ramp up our frequency of meetings and she also knew when to tell us to relax and not worry about stuff. We like that she comes with the aisle planner software and lets us access it. She provided a thorough checklist for us with indications of when an item on the list should be completed by. She was very accessible and we knew we could count on her to respond quickly even if our question was not urgent. As our florist in addition to our planner, she helped a lot with some last-minute florals that we wanted to do and made sure everything happened very smoothly. When we couldn't find any freshly squeezed juice near me Melissa was eager to help and make sure we had that by the time of the wedding. Everyone was impressed at how quickly the venue was able to transform between the different stages of the wedding and how knowledgeable Melissa was. We really appreciated about how Melissa joined us in our vendor meetings and kept in touch with them for us. We definitely would've gotten overwhelmed if we did not have Melissa.

Gina was my planner for our May 2026 wedding at Rancho Bernardo Inn, and she did an absolutely…read morefabulous job. From the very beginning, working with Gina gave me complete confidence that every question would be answered and every detail would be handled. On the wedding day itself, I never had to worry about a thing because I knew she had everything under control. Her strong working relationship with RBI was incredibly valuable throughout the planning process and made everything feel seamless. Since I'm not local to the San Diego area and didn't always have a clear vision of exactly what I wanted, Gina's recommendations and guidance were invaluable. Anytime I needed vendor suggestions, she immediately sent thoughtful recommendations, and whenever I wanted to dive deeper into details, she made it happen. We met in person multiple times leading up to the wedding weekend, and she helped bring all of the details together so beautifully. She was always available to answer texts or calls, which made the entire process feel so much less stressful. I really appreciated how Gina truly followed my lead and helped execute the vision we wanted. By the time the wedding weekend arrived, I didn't have to think twice about anything -- it all came together so perfectly, and it truly was the most wonderful weekend. I'm so grateful for everything Gina did to make our wedding such a special experience.

I decided on the florist for my wedding even before I met my husband. He he. So I got Kelly's business card and emailed her when the preparation for the big day came. She was sweet and personable. I wasn't too detail oriented. I just showed her a few things that I liked to give general direction and asked her to play and do the best she can from there. She acceded my expectations so much that I ended up giving her my deposit for all the props as a tip. Highly recommend!

My husband and I just got married last week at the Japanese Friendship Garden in Balboa Park, and…read morewe hired Julie and her team for month-of coordination. From the very beginning, Julie was upfront with us that she wouldn't be available on our wedding day, but that she would handle all the planning and have her lead coordinator, Yoly, there for the day of. On our wedding day, Yoly did a phenomenal job--she executed everything seamlessly and kept the entire event running right on time. We were especially grateful to the team for pivoting so smoothly and getting everyone on the same page when we had to make last-minute changes. Julie is extremely detail-oriented. We started working with her six months before the wedding, and she was always prompt in answering my many questions and helping me think through ideas. Even though we had already negotiated and finalized all of our vendors, we weren't entirely sure how everything would come together. Julie created a very detailed timeline, caught small gaps in our event rentals, and ensured everything stayed on track. When unexpected issues came up with our original rental company just five days before the wedding, we had to switch vendors and push the ceremony back by half an hour. Julie and her team handled the change with ease, keeping everything calm and organized. Thank you so much to both Julie and Yoly for helping make our day absolutely perfect. We didn't have to worry about a thing and could finally enjoy our day after almost a year of planning!

This review is LONG overdue! We got married 7.4.2022 at Etherial Gardens but our original date was…read more2.25.2021. Due to the pandemic, we needed to reschedule our wedding date. Julie was amicable, professional, attentive, and willing to get on calls with us throughout the covid ordeal. What we loved about Julie is that although there was a long period between our original date and new wedding date, she was extremely organized with the original notes from the venue, us, and any discussions we had with the vendors. Plus, she has excellent relationships and connections with the local vendors. Julie doesn't play around either! She tells it how it is and won't sugarcoat things for you. She will let you know if something is a good idea or not but will always side with what you want as a couple. The day of our wedding, we did not notice ANYTHING GO WRONG. If anything did happen, we weren't aware or she fixed it right away. She made the whole day flow flawlessly. I would HIGHLY recommend Julie as your wedding planner. We booked her for the month but honestly, the month service became almost a two year service commitment. She is reasonably priced for her years of expertise and you can't beat her price compared to other wedding planners that may offer less services in their packages. She went ABOVE AND BEYOND for booking her for the month of coordination service. I am a very hands on person so I loved planning my wedding but Julie was the icing on the cake I needed. That last month before your wedding, YOU WILL NEED HELP and of course, the day of your wedding. Our venue provided in-house event coordinators but Julie completed the team. Again, highly recommend Julie, from The Best Wedding For You in San Diego, CA for your wedding, whether it is for the month of coordination, month of coordination Plus, or a full service coordination. Oh and her husband is a DJ too!
