I dunno why I never review Heaven Scent Florals.. I guess I just forgot... SHAME ON you Bobby!…read moreSHAME!!! Anywhoo, better late than never right? Well kinda. Let me first say that Kelly was was a pleasure to work with. We started out our journey way back in 2008. My sister was getting married in 2009 and we decided to see Kelly for floral arrangements. We had booked her and thought we were all set but due to unforseen circumstances... we had to postpone the wedding by a year, sometime in early 2009, Kelly was at the Discovery Bay Country Club involved with one of the wedding shows and I was able to get wonderful ideas from her arrangements for my sister wedding. The wedding came and Kelly was there bright and early with all the flowers. Everything came out so perfect. The bouquets and the table arrangements were flawless in my eyes. She made everything so effortless and beautiful. I think I will even post pictures! Wanna see???

I hired Kelly for my wedding, which was about a month ago, and I was incredibly impressed and happy…read morewith how the flowers turned out! The bridal bouquet was spectacular (it lasted a week), and the wedding party flowers and bouquets were beautiful as well. The flower arrangements for the reception were gorgeous- they really went beyond my expectations. Kelly made sure to adhere to my vision for the decor, and took a lot of time after our initial meeting to make sure and promptly answer all of my questions about every detail of the arrangements and bouquets so I had a clear idea of how things would look. Kelly was also very patient throughout the process, as I needed to make many adustments between our initial meeting and the wedding. She was very respectful of my budget, and was flexible in helping me find the price range I was comfortable with, while still keeping my vision for the decor of the wedding.

We hired Shana with Joyous Occasions as our day-of wedding coordinator about two months before our…read morewedding, and from day one she was absolutely amazing. She is down-to-earth, knowledgeable, and incredibly experienced. Even though we brought her on a little later in the planning process, she quickly jumped in, reviewed all of our vendor contracts, and made sure nothing was overlooked. Shana was present at our rehearsal and ensured everyone knew exactly what to do, which gave us so much confidence going into the big day. On our wedding day, everything ran seamlessly because of her organization, professionalism, and attention to detail. She was incredibly hands-on, always available when needed, and even helped bustle my dress. I truly cannot thank Shana enough for the time, care, and effort she put into making our wedding day perfect. She went above and beyond in every way. If you're looking for a coordinator who is professional, organized, experienced, and genuinely cares about her couples, I highly recommend Shana and Joyous Occasions!

Hiring Shana was one of the biggest blessings of our entire wedding journey. From our first…read moreconsultation call, she stood out. She was warm, modern, and in tune with we cared about, yet carried herself with a professionalism and clarity that made us feel confident. She had a clear plan and process, and we knew we'd be in good hands. We brought Shana in after we had already started planning, and she jumped in seamlessly. She helped with vendor procurement, ongoing planning, facilitated the rehearsal, and acted as our full day-of coordinator. Throughout the entire process, I had lots of questions - big, small, aesthetic-related, and everything in between. She handled my constant stream of thoughts and clarifications with grace. What impressed us was her ability to keep us on track while also lightening our emotional load. She stepped in as a mediator with vendors, friends, and family when needed - removing stress and giving us space to breathe. As we got closer to the wedding date, our meetings with her became an essential part of my sanity. I always entered the calls stressed or overwhelmed and left feeling grounded and supported. Shana was amazing at brainstorming solutions, pivoting when something changed, and offering ideas and perspectives we hadn't thought of. She was calm, confident, resourceful, and a reliable sounding board. During the rehearsal and on the wedding day itself, she was dialed in. She picked up on my stress before I even said anything and took on the weight so I didn't have to. One example: she would check in with us from time to time, but if we were chatting with guests or another vendor, she intentionally waited off to the side (but in our peripheral) so we knew she had something important to inform us about but without intruding on our moment. Ironically, I was surprised how little I saw her on our wedding day - it wasn't because she wasn't present, but because she was everywhere, quietly handling every detail behind the scenes. She and her team ensured the day ran without a hitch (or at least kept anything stressful far away). Everything felt seamless from my perspective, and that is entirely thanks to her and her team. If you're considering hiring Shana, do it. She is professional, creative, reassuring, patient, and genuinely invested in making your day perfect. She allowed us to fully enjoy the entire process, and we'll forever be grateful.

We had been DIY-ing a renewal-of-vows ceremony for my parents and with about a month to go realized…read morewe really needed a coordinator. Lina stepped up for us and helped put together a FANTASTIC party. She transformed a businesslike boardroom into a magical place for a ceremony. She provided the tables, chairs, curtains, most of the decorations, and did the floral pieces as well. She coordinated with our vendors and helped make the ceremony and luncheon one that my parents and their guests will remember forever. In addition to all the setup and coordination, she suggested a photo booth that would print out photos right there that all our guests enjoyed. We could not have done it without her and would gladly recommend her to anyone.

DO NOT USE LINA. TERRIBLE SERVICE!! Many many things went wrong throughout the coarse of our…read morewedding after spending over $10k with Lina and a year planning... Once we eventually got our photos back we could see just how badly she had done. She used fake flowers when we paid for real, used the literal cheapest decor everywhere possible. We were sold a dream and were left with unlit tacky candles, plastic walls, exposed sand bags and BARE minimum decor. Practically everything she did for us was CHEAP and TACKY. She lied to us about having "a team" when it was just her husband and son that evening. When we reached out for a refund she agreed (clearly she knew she didn't do a good job) but when it was time to pay us she ghosted us for a year despite multiple efforts. Stay far away!!!

FIVE STARS!!! If there were more stars I would give more!! Marshecka was absolutely amazing!! I am…read moreso thankful for having met her and having her turn my family's vision into an absolutely dream come true!! I found Marshecka on Yelp. I had searched and searched and even met with a couple other party planners and event specialists. This business has so many qualified people who can really pull out all the stops. I was really looking for a genuine connection with the person that I chose to work with for our very special event. I am so thankful that I was able to find that connection with Marshecka and then some!! The event I was planning was my daughter's Quinceanera. One of the most important days in a young woman's life in the latin culture! It is an event that comes together with the love and support of the entire family (immediate and extended) . Marschecka was so patient and accommodating as I had constant input and ideas that I was sharing with her. I was working with a budget but wanted the world :-) Marschecka was absolutely amazing when it came to taking my vision and working within my means!! She was able to secure a vendor that provided uplighting for the entire ballroom. WOW!! It was so beautiful! Just the lighting alone added such an amazing touch of class!! My family and daughter's friends complimented the lighting so much! She also secured a vendor that took care of the balloons for us. It was very important to us that we have balloons but that the room did not look informal or too childish. Marshecka and her vendor took our vision and found the perfect way to compliment the ballroom!! My vision was for the entire ballroom to have draping. I saw so many pictures online of events that were just breathtaking because of draping!! Unfortunately, that amazing decor comes at a very expensive price and I didn't have the budget for it. Marshecka was able to take the budget I did have and the vision I had and designed an absolutely magnificent backdrop and head table decor!! It was such a beautiful focal point!! Marshecka's style and execution was more than I could have imagined!! It was so wonderful to hear family and friends feel like they were at a royal event without it compromising my budget!! Marshecka was has a great heart and compassion!! I recommend her to anyone looking to plan a special event! I feel like she treated me as if I was her family and that allowed me to enjoy my event and not stress about the details. She had my back the entire time!!

You're either reading this because you're just starting out planning your wedding, or you've been…read moreplanning your wedding and you had no idea how much work it would be. I was in the latter category, and having never participated in the wedding planning process, I had no idea what a wedding coordinator did. I only found Marshecka after I had given serious consideration to cancelling what should have been a low key wedding reception. Simply stated, a wedding coordinator is the person you don't know you need until it really starts to hit the fan. When you're feeling overwhelmed, when your vendors go MIA after you've accepted their bid, when you have no idea how your venue is going to get setup in time for your event, when those you've hired to help aren't getting the job done, and when your significant other doesn't really seem interested in anything wedding related, this is your go to person. Do yourself a favor and hire Marshecka at the initial planning stages. Wedding coordinators may seem expensive, but you'll save yourself time and money if you aren't wedding savvy. My family and friends that came to help setup our venue and deliver the décor had nothing but positive things to say about Marshecka and her team. When they needed something, her response was, "I'm on it." I thought she was a bargain for all of the work she got accomplished, and believe me, with all of the décor and vendors at our reception, she had a lot of work to do. My only regret was not hiring her sooner, because I think she could have made my life much easier.

I can't say enough about Cindee and her incredible team. We booked them for our November wedding…read morefor floral and decor services as well day-of coordination and they delivered so far above and beyond. I am a super type-A person who already knew what I wanted for floral and decor coming into the working relationship and they not only brought it to life but Cindee was so helpful in offering guidance and building on the ideas I already had. She also worked with me to help me get as much out of my budget as possible which is so appreciated and rare in the wedding industry. Linda was our day-of coordinator and she was worth every penny and so much more. I was relaxed on my wedding day because I knew that all details and timeline would be handled by her capable hands. They were organized, efficient, and creative. Everything was perfection and Cindee and the CL Decor team were invaluable.

Cindee instantly understood our vision for the wedding ceremony and reception, and quickly turned my dreams into a reality. She is professional, creative, passionate, helpful, and works WITH you to bring your design vision to life. If you're not sure exactly what you want, she will draw things out or send different samples for inspiration. Cindee is flexible and worked to help us find creative solutions and tweaks to decorations to match our budget as well. She is incredibly responsive via text and email, and very experienced in all decoration logistics. Beyond that, she is a kind and warm human being whom we genuinely enjoyed working with. 10/10 would hire again. We felt so lucky to have her. A special shout-out to her her day-of-coordinator Linda, who was incredibly detail-oriented, professional, and helped coordinate all the nitty gritty logistics including vendor coordination and timeline review the weeks building up to the wedding, and the day of.

I cannot say enough good things about Janelle & the Visionary team. I don't think I could've gotten…read morethrough this wedding without them. Janelle was supposed to be purely my day of coordinator but she went above and beyond to support all the pivots of the pandemic. She was amazing with corralling my vendors and myself (since I was starting a new job and honestly did not do everything I needed to). Once the COVID shutdown happened, she quickly pivoted with me to plan a backyard wedding ceremony in less than a month. And boy did she pull it off! With her on your wedding day, there is not a single thing to worry about. She will bring your visions to life AND THEN SOME. She worked with me on my backyard wedding ceremony in August 2020 and grand wedding reception at the Academy of Sciences in August 2021 taking every curveball the pandemic has thrown our way without batting a lash. She even brought my leftover liquor and items back to our hotel so we could continue the party all while being barely 3 months postpartum! I can tell you that Janelle will be my go to for every major event from now on. You will kick yourself for not hiring her for your events.

Where do I start? Welp, 5 stars is for sure NOT enough for this review!!…read more x100000000 I first reached out to Janelle - Visionary Events and Designs back in Oct 2017 while planning our civil wedding ceremony/celebration. My fiancé (at that time) and I weren't ready for a MEX-FIL grand wedding but still wanted to have a small gathering to celebrate our union. We met that Nov at starbucks Sunvalley Mall, and I knew right away that she was the perfect person for us. Me and Omar did get married on May 2018 thru the courthouse and fast forward to early March of 2019, we decided to actually plan for our big wedding which was set on June 6, 2020. Throughout the planning process, we met Danny (Janelle's husband and also part of Visionary Events and Designs team) they are both super talented and supeeeer nice and we just all get along very well, which made this whole wedding journey soooo much better! From creating our vision boards to our meetings which I alwayssss look forward to, Janelle & Danny made sure me and Omar (the groom-zilla) compromise in every decision we make. They are very neutral, explained pros and cons of every lil detail, mind you, there are details that we won't even probably think of until it was all laid down to us. The amount of details from planning a wedding is unbelievable. Which is why we appreciate them a loooot, like A LOT. Unfortunately, COVID hit and we had to postpone our wedding...... not only once but 3X!!! TBH, I seriously do not know what I'd do without Janelle during this time. The mixed of emotions from postponing to the stress of how things are uncertain. She took care of contacting each vendors and moving dates, made sure everything lined up. We did lost some vendors and she did looked for replacements right away, we trusted her 100000%. Our patience was tested and we are just super lucky we have Janelle to put things into the right place!!! Literally the amount of work she puts in behind every event are underestimated unless you actually experience first hand and see all the effort she does! Visionary Events and Designs stood by us from start to finish! ooof! (thankful, grateful, blessed 1000%) Fast forward to Oct 2, 2021, with sooo much anticipation and years in the making LOL, our dream wedding finally came true! All the hardwork and patience was definitely worth the wait!!!! I saw the venue layout through a pdf document, and bam! when I saw it in person I was speechless! It took me some time actually process everything as it just feels soooo surreal! Danny and Janelle made sure we had the most perfect and epic wedding PERIOD! I know there were challenges during the day of, but we honestly have no idea of anything. Which clearly explains that they solved whatever it was/it may be without taking us away from our special moment. I know we wouldn't be able to do it by ourselves, and we truly appreciate eeverrrrrrrryyything Visionary Events and Designs did to make it all possible! They are indeed THE DREAM TEAM. and we're lucky to call them OUR DREAM TEAM. Danny and Janelle isn't just our wedding planners, throughout the wedding planning journey, they've become family. We witnessed their amazing wedding in 2017 (thru social media LOL -we barely met) to actually celebrating their own milestone (Janelle's Baby Shower) and welcoming Baby Colton! We are soo blessed to be a part of their own journey as much as they've become part of ours as well. And we truly value their presence in our lives! We couldn't thank them enough as there's no words that can equal the amount of gratitude we feel for the both of them and Visionary Events and Designs. No 5 stars will be enough to rate everything that they have to offer! PERIOOODT. Highly recommend 10000/10000 to hire them as your next event planner/coordinator!!! Lastly, to Janelle and Danny, Visionary Events and Designs, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! We will forever cherish our friendship! The Romeros
