1000/10 Stars! When…read morewe first started wedding planning, we thought we could do it ourselves since we have already been very details with our vacation itineraries. Nope! We knew nothing about the wedding process or where to even start and often found ourselves falling down different rabbit holes and side tracked. It was hard organizing our thoughts of what needed to be done, etc. Being a wedding bartender myself, I've seen Sushie in action as the bride & groom's planner for the events I've worked. I knew she was the one to have for ours! Even after our first video call, my husband liked her immediately. Sushie is hands down the BEST wedding planner you can hire in the Bay Area. She is super quick at responding and very straight forward, no bullshitting. She made the year leading up to our wedding stress free and we were able to have fun and enjoy the planning process. We told her our budget and vision for what kind of wedding we wanted and she made it happen. We were blown away by how exact she got to our budget at the end of the planning process! She also knows a lot of other vendors if you need them like HMUA, Photographers/Videographers, photobooth, desserts, DJ, etc. and all are trusted vendors, otherwise she would never recommend them to her clients. The day of the wedding went SO SMOOTHLY and literally, it was everything we imagined and wanted for the special day. I don't think it could have happened without Sushie and her team. If you're debating on getting a planner, stop. JUST HIRE ONE. Your future self will thank you and that money you spent on one will be so worth it and your sanity. Thank you Sushie for making the best day of our lives happen! Highly, highly, highly recommend hiring Sushie and her team for your planner though. NO REGRETS!!!

Sushie was our…read morefull-service wedding planner, and her expertise, along with her strong network of local vendor connections, made the entire process feel easy and seamless. She was incredibly helpful throughout and always candid with her advice, which we really appreciated. Her honesty and genuine concern made us feel confident that we were making the right decisions to bring our vision to life. What stood out most was her dedication -- even when she wasn't feeling well, she made sure we were fully taken care of and that everything stayed on track. On the day of the wedding, Jessica and Vanessa from her team were also so sweet and wonderful to work with. They made everything run smoothly and helped us truly enjoy the day without stress. The entire team was attentive, supportive, and a pleasure to work with from start to finish. We're so grateful for their help in making our wedding exactly what we imagined. Highly recommend!

We are so happy we hired Argelia to plan our baby shower.

From start to finish, Argelia was an absolute pleasure to work with. She is responsive, professional, punctual, and easy to work with. Being 35 weeks pregnant, the last thing I wanted was added stress about planning a baby shower and set-up/breakdown for the event. I just wanted to show up and enjoy the party! She helped us find a caterer who met the requirement for the venue, desserts were easily ordered through her baker, she had linens for us to rent, met us in San Francisco to tour the venue, drove to the East Bay to pick up supplies and helped transport them to the venue the day of our event, and arrived early with her team to set up and breakdown for our event. She did an incredible job carrying out our vision for our boho safari baby shower! From the color of the balloon garland to the safari animals to the desserts -- everything was perfect! I highly recommend Argelia for your planning your next event.

We had a complex approach to the music production and event choreography and she worked every step of the way to help make sure it turned out the way we wanted it to. She was great with negotiating and coordinating with vendors (both candidate vendors and chosen vendors). She worked hard on really thoughtful, thorough design mood boards that showed she'd paid attention to our theme ideas, so Jonathan and I could make good decisions. On the day of the event, she was like a drill sergeant getting things on-point, on time! She treated us as friends, and we are very glad to have trusted her with our big day.

Choosing Janice as our wedding planner was the best decision my fiancé and I made throughout the…read morewhole wedding planning process. She was the first vendor we ever booked, and she is worth every penny and so much more. A month after we got engaged, my fiancé and I decided to try and visit some venues. After visiting seven wedding venues in two days and driving a total of 8 hours back and forth, we decided we can't do this alone, and needed a wedding planner. We chose Janice because of her exceptional background experience and her willingness to customize a package that fit our needs and our budget. Janice is very professional, responds to emails very quickly, which was very important to me, and she's just fun and easy to work with. Janice started us off with a checklist every month that listed things that we should and need to do. Janice helped us find a beautiful venue that fit our required parameters. Without Janice's help, it would be highly unlikely that we would have found Half Moon Bay Golf Links as a venue. It was perfect in the fact that it was by the ocean, had a beautiful backdrop of the Ritz Carlton, and the menu served steak and lobster, which was a must! Not only did Janice help us secure a venue, she also helped us find a DJ and when we decided last minute that we wanted a videographer, she tapped into her extensive network to give us some options within our price range. Janice helped us review all contracts we signed with other vendor which was super helpful because sometimes we would miss details that we would want clarified within the contract. She also negotiated rates on our behalf and saved us thousands of dollars, literally. Janice always had our best interest in mind. Janice was always on top of things and super responsive over emails. We did almost all of our correspondences over email. We met with Janice for the first time during our menu tasting at our venue. She came prepared and full of questions for the venue and took copious notes. After the meeting she followed up with the venue coordinator to nail down the details. Janice sent us a template of a minute-by-minute timeline that served as a way to organized and plan our wedding day. When she first sent it to us, it was one and a half pages. She mentioned that by the time the wedding rolled around, the document would be 10+ pages. It was hard to imagine at first, because we thought how much more details could there possibly be? Little did we know that as we planned and organized our day and all the logistics, the document ended up to be 17 pages long! It literally was a minute by minute break down of our wedding day. We shared it with our family and friends and everyone knew exactly what was going on and when. The father of the bride was so impressed with Janice's professionalism. Our wedding day was a great success and everything went off without a hitch, at least that is how we saw things. If anything did go awry or a miss, we didn't know about it and that was because Janice was on top of everything! She made sure everything and everyone was where they were supposed to be and that our day was flawless. We had many friends come up to us during the reception asking for Janice's contact info, they were all equally amazed by the wonderful work she does. Without Janice, we would not have been able to enjoy our wedding and just be present in the moment. Even after the wedding, Janice sent a friendly email reminding us of things we should take care of, like sending in the marriage certificate and little details on the gifts and cards that people had given us on the day. Janice is truly the best of the best, and we are so fortunate to have worked with her. I would recommend her in a heartbeat!

The hubby and I didn't truly understand the need for hiring a day-of wedding coordinator until we…read morewere about 3 months out from the wedding and I started freaking out about all the things we still had to do. We were also reluctant to get one because the planners we've seen or heard of previously either weren't good or didn't really do much. But hiring Janice was one of THE best wedding decisions we made, if not the very best because we truly believe it would've been a hot mess without her! We live in NY but wed in San Francisco and both of us worked way too much to plan a destination wedding, so she definitely didn't have an easy task. I researched and contacted a ton of planners, but ultimately hired Janice because she was the only one that consistently responded right away, was really friendly, and had a background in corporate event planning in NY. I figured - if she responds right away, she'll be on top of things, and if she can handle NYC corporate events, she can pretty much handle anything. Janice definitely didn't disappoint and was AMAAAZING! Her minute by minute timeline is enough to hire her on the spot. Our vendors and wedding party were really impressed. If there were any hiccups during our wedding, I had no idea about them because she handled everything with grace and kept us both super relaxed throughout the day. Our family and friends also LOVED her and thought she was the best wedding coordinator they've ever seen and have been recommending her left and right. Even though we hired her for day-of planning, it's not really day-of because she ended up doing super detailed planning at least 2 months out with all of our vendors. She's incredibly professional, amazingly organized, super friendly even in the most stressful situations and best of all, she made sure we ENJOYED OUR WEDDING! Every single couple we talked to before the big day kept telling us how stressful it would be and how we wouldn't even have time to eat. But, she actually made sure we had time to enjoy our food and have FUN!!! Our wedding was such a blast, thanks to Janice!

My wife and I had our wedding at the Mountain Winery in Saratoga and Sophie was amazing. Our…read morewedding ended up being perfect but it certainly WOULD NOT have been perfect if it was not for Sophie. Sophie was on-top of everything and put together a very detailed day-of plan. We worked with her to review / update the plan and then make sure all of our vendors had the plan. She also did a detailed review of all of the vendor contracts + she also did a great job of asking us questions we had not thought to ask. Most importantly, Sophie was perfect on the day of the wedding. All members of her team were very professional. They also caught a number of vendor / venue mistakes and corrected them before we ever noticed. Lastly, she was flexible with the schedule. While we were visiting all of our guests, she was not pushy and let us take our time with our guests. I have seen other wedding coordinators start hustling the bride and groom from table to table and never thought that was cool. Sophie let us do our thing (it is our wedding after all) and then told us how we had to adjust the schedule once we were done talking with all of our guests. She then worked with the vendors to make sure they were all in line. My wife and I both HIGHLY recommend Sophie. She did an excellent job both preparing for the wedding and the day of the wedding!

And I finally made my mind to quit my job, leave all my friends and move to bay area from Chicago. Sophie is very flexible due to my limited schedule. (since that I can only fly to and stay at bay area one day or two each month before the wedding) My parents and parents-in-law can only understand limited English. I cannot imagine how I can have a wedding with all vendors speaking Mandarin so easily without Sophie. And I love all my vendors. The wedding day went flawlessly. And all my bridesmaids told me that they must have someone like Sophie for their weddings in Chicago or NYC. Thanks, Sophie ;)

She was well aware of our budget and stuck to it. On the day of the event Colleen and her team handled all of the set up and made sure all was as it should be. During the event if I needed someone to take care of a small detail she was right there with a smile and "no problem" answer. I cannot tell you how valuable the service was. It saved me time and stress. If you are planning an event, I highly recommend hiring Colleen and her team.

They recently…read morestarted their custom wedding sign business called "designs by oso" and everything is so beautiful and well-made. At first, I was unsure about the direction that we wanted to go for our wedding signs, since we needed both a welcome sign and seating chart for our wedding in early May. With her help, we were able to narrow it down to a combined welcome + seating chart arched sign. She provided us with drafts of our requested signs quickly and incorporated our changes to the designs, I ended up wanting the color of the signs to be a shade of lighter blue and she made it happen while also giving us good advice on what would look best as well. She gave us a reasonable amount of time to provide her with the final list of names/table groupings for our seating chart, approximately 3 weeks before our wedding. Unfortunately for us, my MIL had a few changes to the table groupings after we sent in the final list, but Michelle was SO sweet and understanding and was able to squeeze in our last-minute edits. Our wedding was in SoCal, so we picked up our signs a week prior and wow, did they turn out gorgeous when we saw them on the day-of! It was very easy to set up and it fit so perfectly with our color scheme. Very satisfied with her professionalism and eye for design! We would highly recommend Oso Events to anyone needing beautiful and custom signage for their events! :)

We had a lot of DYI elements to the set-up, and Michelle was extremely helpful with thinking through the various aspects of the decor. She even made our beautiful seating assignment chart. They helped with our ceremony rehearsal, coordinating with all of our vendors, back-end communication, and running the big day! All of our friends and family who interacted with the Oso Team shared how welcoming and supportive they were, and they checked in with us often to make sure we had everything we needed. Raymundo and Michelle made everything flow so easily without us having to stress, and we feel very lucky to have worked with them! Overall, we HIGHLY recommend booking Oso for your wedding!
