    We had an absolutely incredible experience working with White Sage. From our very first meeting…read morewith our planner, Jen, we knew we were in the best possible hands. Her calm, grounded energy, professionalism, and thoughtful organization immediately put us at ease. Throughout the planning process, Jen was consistently responsive, thorough, and proactive. The regular check-ins helped us feel prepared at every stage, and we always ended our calls feeling reassured, excited, and more confident about the journey ahead. As the wedding weekend approached, we were blown away by how seamlessly everything came together. Jen, Brooke, and Megan were an absolute dream team. They took care of every detail--from large vendor coordination and rental setup to the smallest personal touches that made the weekend feel uniquely ours. We were especially impressed when unexpected weather forced a last-minute dinner location change. The White Sage team handled it flawlessly, and the transition was so smooth that our guests had no idea it hadn't been part of the original plan. Jen's attention to detail, calm presence, and ability to stay composed under pressure truly set her apart. We not only felt supported by her expertise but genuinely enjoyed every conversation we had with her. We'll actually miss our planning calls--she made the process feel collaborative, grounded, and even fun. Thanks to White Sage, we were able to fully relax and be present the entire weekend, knowing that everything was being expertly handled. So many of our guests told us it was the best wedding they'd ever attended--and we agree! We cannot recommend White Sage highly enough. If you're looking for a team that will not only bring your vision to life but make the experience enjoyable and stress-free, this is it.

Brooke was so responsive, knowledgeable, kind and worked so hard to help our vision come to life. Our big day was so magical, due in large part to Brooke and her team's hard work.

    I can't say enough good things about Michel B Events. In the beginning of the planning process I…read morewas not convinced that I needed a coordinator but now, I realize that EVERY bride should have a planner no matter what size or budget you have so you can enjoy your Big Day. I hired Michel to be my day of coordinator and from the moment I spoke with her on the phone for the first time, we immediately clicked and I knew we would be a great team to put my wedding vision to life. Michel went well above and beyond what I hired her for and exceeded my expectations. I'm extremely organized and thought I had everything covered but she thought of things that I never would have due to her extensive experience in the events industry and meticulous attention to detail. We were in constant contact with phone calls and emails for months leading up to the event. She had everything so well planned that I did not need to worry about a thing leading up to the wedding and on the day of the wedding I was completely stress-free thanks to her and her assistant, which is truly priceless. Michel is one of the best professionals I've ever worked with and I am recommending her to all my closest friends and family! Not only is she a great event planner but also she is a fun and outgoing person to work with whom by the end of the process felt like a friend. I heard from many vendors and guests how much they enjoyed working with her.

    There's a good chance Michel actually knows magic. I believe this to be true because it's…read moreunbelievable that just she took care of our wedding plans/design all by herself. I've never had to plan such an important event and I'm glad we gave that opportunity to Michel for these reasons: - GREAT communication. She always stayed on top of details and managed our vendors very well. There were no issues during our wedding (December 2013) - Her confident and practical attitude. Giving up freedom is really a challenge and we trusted her with many tasks we weren't around to review. She showed up to our first meeting and drew out ideas in her mind immediately as if she had already worked with the venue (she hadn't!). The wedding location was remote for both of us, but she still managed to scope out all the events like it was next door. - All her input was constructive. It never felt like we were compromising our vision of a perfect wedding for US and everything she suggested only embellished/refined our ideas. - She recognized it was OUR day. It's easy to get caught up in the mentality of every effort for the sake of entertaining guests. It's sad and frustrating, but Michel assured us that our wedding would a very special day for US and it was!

    I am surprised to see some low reviews of Joelle, because even though my wedding happened back in…read more2013, whenever I think about my wedding day (and its more than you'd think because my friends keep getting married), I can't imagine how much harder that day would have been without her. We hired Joelle for month of coordination, which was very important because though we live in Texas, we were getting married in Camarillo (where I grew up). Joelle handled everything from working with vendors to the venue and put my mind at ease while I was over 1,000 miles away getting ready to travel out for the wedding. Even when there could have been disaster--we found out the week of our wedding that a nearby field had put up a huge, unsightly water pump (we were married at McCormick Home Ranch)--Joelle came up with an immediate solution for us and even made sure the pump would not be running during the wedding. The day of, I didn't even notice it was there. Joelle went above and beyond to make sure our special day was as amazing as it could be and we can't imagine it without her. I consider her just as much of a key part of our wedding as I do my wedding party, because she really was by my side throughout the whole process.

    Yes, the best investment ever, our wedding planner. Especially if you're having a destination…read morewedding- your wedding planning experience will be so much more beautiful and your day will be the most amazing day ever because all you have to worry about are the things that matter to you. For me it was design, guests' experience, and showing up! Joelle was priceless, to be honest. I trusted her entirely with days leading up and our actual DAY. So much I didn't even flinch when my sister's concealer dropped on my dress or when a vendor's delivery was partial complete or when I asked the day before to have hay brought in to cover 3/4 of the dance floor area because I knew, "Joelle will handle it." Our wedding was flooded with vendors (imagine an empty wooden structure and that's it. Not even electricity, a single piece of furniture, or even a kitchen) and everything went so smoothly. As the bride and groom, we remember every detail of our entire wedding. We had such a wonderful time and we got to share so much of it with our guests- not at all ever thinking or worrying about the production part. I would do it all over again and again. She understood my style, taste, and overall vision to help execute or find the right vendors to execute the first day of the best days of our lives. This is my recommendation for Joelle and for future brides to find a wedding planner if you have the opportunity. And this is coming from someone who is an experienced event planner herself. Our wedding location: Dos Pueblos Ranch in Goleta, CA (Santa Barbara)

    I can't believe it's taken me this long to write a review however Cari is the absolute greatest!!…read moreAny chance I get to tell someone who is getting married in the area, I recommend Cari! Her attention to every detail for my wedding made me feel so special because she does everything you want, just how you want. She provides a custom package of vendors that you get to choose from that fits your style of wedding and personality. Cari made everything seem so effortless and I couldn't believe how perfect everything turned out. I HIGHLY, EXTREMELY, INSISTENTLY recommend using Cari for your wedding. Her assistant was incredibly helpful and has worked with Cari for a long time so she is very knowledgeable of making the day run smooth too. I wish I could go back to do everything again, absolutely stress free and just the way we wanted it to be. Thank you Cari for such a spectacular job and all your help with our day! Love Kaetlyn and Chris

    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.

    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.
