Her knowledge, attention to detail, and every recommendation she made led to a perfect day. I feel like it took no time for Rachel to get a sense of our vision when we first met with her. She was so well organized throughout the timeline from planning until day-of. She offers a considerable range of coordinating packages, so you have plenty of options how involved you want her to be with the stages of planning. Whichever package you choose, she commits to making sure you have everything you need to have a great time at your event. There's clearly a reason she has only top ratings!

It's unfortunate I have to write this review. I've used SD linens a total of 3 times now, and my…read morethird time was my last ever. I booked them for my wedding in 2014, and they did a great job. I booked them for an Easter party this year, smooth sailing. I booked them again for another party this year, complete shit. They are so "strict" with making sure you have 3 hour open time window, or else they charge you more if you want it at an exact time. Anyway, we had a drop off time for our tables/chairs/linens between 9-12. My party started at 1pm. 1230 rolls around, I'm starting to panic and call the number. It's only their weekday office line they provide. 1245 comes, I email and try to call again. Nothing. 1255, some guys cruise up in a truck to deliver my order. They are moving at a snails pace to get my tables and chairs set up. Guest start slowly arriving. How freaking embarrassing. Nobody once called me to say they were running late or give me any updates. I expressed how frustrated I was with their service a few days later. Nobody reached back out, no apology, nothing. That's the last time I'll ever use San Diego linens or REFER anybody to them, considering how many ppl I referred from my wedding. Be careful if you book with them y'all.

We explained we needed to fit 100 people, we needed tables and chairs and lighting. David had all kinds of great ideas, including swags on either side of the area where I was to be married, a fabric backdrop, market lights, and a GOBO light. The GOBO light would be set up to shine a saying, from a lens we designed , into the pool. I designed the lens to say," Scott Lori 3-3-2018". On the Thursday and Friday prior to the wedding, they came and set up the tables, and delivered the chairs, and set up the lights and draping. David was flexible, and due to possible rain we had to rent tents, and he put the lights up in the tents!! They did a great job! Make sure David comes to your venue, he has a really good eye for decorating!!

She went above and beyond, was very personable with us, our wedding party, and family. She coordinated with all the vendors for both our ceremony rehearsal and the day of the wedding, she planned and ran the ceremony rehearsal, worked with venue coordinators and vendors to set up a timeline. She also kept us on schedule the day of the wedding. She was also involved in setting up the ceremony and reception decorations and even added her own touches, to improve upon what we designed. We can't recommend her enough as a wedding coordinator. Her hard work ensured our day was relaxed and ran smoothly.

The bride and groom were planning their wedding from across the country, while moving (not to the location of the wedding) and the bride was starting graduate school. Catherine managed everything, did an excellent job working with all the vendors, found a way to incorporate both the bride and grooms personalities, and actually designed and made the most unique decorations you have ever seen. The bride and groom were relaxed and actually got to enjoy the wedding process from beginning to end and it was the most beautiful wedding. Also, the bride and groom were on a budget, and Catherine managed to give them everything they wanted and more within a tight budget. I always thought that wedding planners were too costly, but she has proven to be just the opposite. I am so thankful that the bride and groom had Catherine to make their wedding planning a great experience. I wish she would have been in business back when I was getting married.

Lily is detail oriented, hard working, thoughtful, and inspiring. She understands the ins and outs of this industry so well and can manage any issue on the fly. When she found out she'd be 8 months pregnant on my wedding day, she provided a superhero lineup of a team. We had a fantastic day of coordinator (Krista) and the best ever coordinating assistant, Ellie, who literally sewed my dress 10 minutes before I walked down the aisle, changed me into my reception outfit, and gave me a carrot out of her own lunch box (you really don't eat on your wedding day). The wedding went so smoothly and it wouldn't have gone that way without the help of Lily and her team. She even showed up just to say hi to me on the day! Thank you Lily and Slay Events for giving us the best day ever. We'll hire you for the vow renewal in ten years ;)

Throughout our two-year engagement, Slay Events guided us seamlessly through the entire destination wedding planning process. Lily was incredibly attentive, organized, and genuinely invested in bringing our vision to life. Because of her, our wedding day unfolded flawlessly. It was smooth, stress-free, and absolutely perfect. Watching her in her element was inspiring, and our guests could not stop raving about how amazing she was. We truly could not have done this without her. For any couple planning a wedding, we wholeheartedly and confidently recommend Slay Events for all of your coordination needs. Lily is a dream!

We had a great feeling about Evelyn when she called us for our intro call at the exact time…read morescheduled, not a minute late, and suffice it to say, our instincts were right--she did not disappoint. My husband and I were just married this past August, and working with Evelyn is the reason we were able to stay sane. She is incredibly organized, and her process allowed us to enjoy wedding planning rather than being stressed out about deadlines. I talked to other friends planning their weddings at the same time as us with different planners, and they seemed WAY more stressed out--their planner either needed to be pushed at every step of the way, or was stressing them out about made-up deadlines to keep them moving. Evelyn's process was about the order of operations--you need your venue first, then you can find your photographer, then entertainment, etc. She made it so the decisions we needed to make felt bite-sized, rather than focusing on everything all at once. I'm honestly sad that our wedding is over because it means we won't be working with Evelyn on a regular basis, but she's the reason that everything came together so nicely and we can't say enough good things about her!

Evelyn is simply the best! We worked with her for ~10 months as she helped us plan a wedding in…read moreunder a year for October 2023. We loved how knowledgable she was of the wedding industry specifically within San Diego, and how she took a very direct & no-nonsense approach to planning (but don't get us wrong, she was certainly still fun to work with!!). We were completely lost when it came to planning as a whole, and she made the entire process so streamlined. We found that she was *especially* helpful when it came to picking a venue - we were so overwhelmed with all of the options available, and truly didn't know where to even begin. After just 1 or 2 conversations, she managed to take all of our ambiguous thoughts & feelings, and distilled them down to give us just a handful of venue options that she thought we would love. Turns out... wow, she hit the nail on the head! We loved all the options she presented us with and her #1 pick for us was, well, our #1 pick too! She took this approach with all of our vendors which truly made it so easy to make a quick yet informed decision. On top of all that, she did an INCREDIBLE job taking my abstract thoughts on an overall design and managed to pull off an absolutely remarkable setup. Nearly every guest told us it was the most amazing wedding they had ever been to - seriously. She is a magician and I only wish we could work with her again!

From food tasting, to decorating the reception space, Kellie has made our wildest dreams come true and we are forever indebted. She went above and beyond over every details, creating menus, decorating, setting up and breaking down, handling my veil, dress, etc. Thank you Kellie and team for all your guys' hard work. I am still in awe how you guys did it all ! We were able to fully be present on the big day and enjoyed every minute. We had the best day and couldn't have done it without you guys!! Thank you for your high level of professionalism, expertise, an eye for design, and above all, you guys moved seamlessly the day of the wedding, allowing us to simple enjoy the day. What a blessing!

Heather Keith is the reason you hire a coordinator - period…read more We hired *Heather Keith Events* to plan our son's Bar Mitzvah (and she was there throughout running the show), and working with Heather was for the lack of a better was to say it just a fantastic experience from start to finish. She was well worth it (and candidly wasn't too expensive to hire either). Heather managed everything--from coordinating numerous vendors and rentals to handling multiple food options, designing thoughtful centerpieces (without breaking the bank), and bringing in an outstanding DJ who kept guests of all ages fully engaged (which is crucial). One of the things we appreciated most was Heather's transparency and smart budgeting advice. She helped us identify where it made sense to handle certain items ourselves ahead of time--saving us from unnecessary vendor markups--and advised on where to invest for the best impact. Thanks to her, we not only stayed on budget, we saved money in several areas we wouldn't have considered on our own. But maybe most importantly, Heather took the stress off of my wife. Instead of worrying about logistics or last-minute details, she was able to fully enjoy the evening and be completely present throughout the celebration. That peace of mind alone made working with Heather more than worth it. Heather Keith brought "calm" to the whole planning process. We'll absolutely be working with Heather again for our daughter's Bat Mitzvah--there's no question who we'll be calling. If you're planning a major event and want someone who's organized, clearly in charge of the vendors, and truly committed to making the experience smooth and enjoyable, Heather is who you need! Thank you Heather!

Heather was extremely knowledgeable and she asked us all of the right questions to make sure she had the information she needed. Thank you!
