She partnered with our non-profit to craft incredibly flavorful meals within our budgetary constraints. Our weekend-long program required accommodating a wide array of dietary restrictions. Shoshana designed a menu that not only satisfied all the dietary needs, but also surpassed expectations in terms of both presentation and taste. It matters to us that we're contributing to local farms and producers through our eating too, so we especially appreciated her noting all the sources of the ingredients. Our group all raved about the food, and her culinary vision truly enhanced the overall atmosphere we cultivated for our program. We would love to work with her again next year!

I worked most closely with Cass, and from the very beginning, she felt like my biggest cheerleader. She made me feel like I was the bride she had been waiting to work with--and that warmth and genuine excitement came through in every conversation. Cass guided us through every step of the process with such grace, clarity, and care. Every explanation, every recommendation, every detail--she made sure we felt supported and confident. She and Dan are true professionals and masters of their craft. The flow of the evening was flawless: all the announcements, transitions, music cues, recordings, microphones--everything ran perfectly. It was also incredibly fun creating playlists for our cocktail hour and dance floor using their custom music planning app. The final result? A dance floor full of guests of all ages, all dancing and smiling. We heard over and over how thrilled people were to hear songs from their youth, whatever era that happened to be. That's no small feat--and Cass and Dan pulled it off with style, energy, and heart. Thank you, Cass and Dan, for being such a meaningful part of our celebration. You helped make our wedding perfect, and we'll never forget it!

We got married at Seascape, a venue they were very familiar with! For the wedding, we rented chairs, long farm tables, the lighting package, and drapery.

She set up a meeting early and sent us documents that would help us along the way. She would check in and would open herself up to us if needed. Early on I had mentioned to Angelique that I was planning on doing my own florals to help with my budget and she encouraged me and even sent me recommendations on how I could execute my own wedding florals. I ended up going with the floral wholesale shop she recommended and was so happy with my decision. She also gave us recommendations of other wedding vendors. We ended up going with a recommended photographer as well who was very kind to work with and returned photos promptly. Nikki, a Honey and Twine assistant, went with me to my second rental appointment and was so helpful. Nikki had great insight and was a great advocate to have by my side during the appointment. Honey and Twine sent documents, check lists and timelines that helped me the months leading to the wedding. Angelique and Nikki met with me at my venue (which was my brother's house) and had an initial walk-through. Nikki came a second time as well. We felt they knew the space so well and we're confident that everything would fit into place on the day of. They came to the rehearsal and led it well and let us enjoy time with our family. On the wedding day, Honey and Twine truly shined. There was a large structure to cover that ended up being the background of the head table. It looked so great. All the tables looked perfect and they set up the bar and entrance table so perfectly. Just as every wedding has, there was a small hiccup with our rental restrooms where one of the stalls was unusable and I didn't even know about the problem until after the wedding because they did not want to worry the bride. There were 3 Honey and Twine associates at the wedding that made everything look beautiful, run seamlessly and on schedule. We could not be more grateful for Honey & Twine!

When we started planning our wedding in January 2017, my fiancé and I had absolutely no idea what we were doing, or what we wanted our wedding to look like, and it was so wonderful to have Lexi and Brenda there helping us with every detail. They were knowledgable, patient, and most importantly, totally organized and on top of every detail. They also made sure every choice we made kept us within our budget, and gave some great recommendations for vendors. They always got back to us quickly, and knew the answer to every wedding-related question we asked them, big or small. After 10 months of planning with them, four days before the wedding date we had to move the entire wedding after the fires up in wine country threatened our original wedding venue. Lexi and Brenda were never anything but completely competent and professional during this whole process (I was a disaster). They found a new venue in San Francisco with a similar feeling to our original venue and of a similar cost, and dealt with every single vendor so they all moved to our new location. We had 130 guests coming, a third of whom had flown in from Europe, and I honestly don't know what we would have done without Lexi and Brenda. The actual wedding day itself was executed perfectly. With Brenda there running everything, I didn't have a single thing to worry about, and could just enjoy the entire day and night with all my friends and family (and new husband!). Hiring a planner was the first budgetary choice we made for our wedding, and no question it was the best one we made. When things went wrong, Honey + Twine were there to rescue our wedding day, and we won't forget what an amazing job they did!
