We booked Andrea Abel in Fall 2019 for wedding coordination services for our Summer 2020 wedding…read more We met once with her in person for a venue walk-through, then COVID shut things down and we had to reschedule our wedding. Initially, Andrea was good about communicating with us, and assured us she'd be available on our new 2021 date. She said that the services we'd already paid for would just transfer to the new date. However, Andrea kept saying she was waiting on an attorney to help her draft an addendum to our 2020 contract for the new 2021 date. We reached out periodically to check on the availability of the addendum and each time she'd say no update. (In comparison, we had already signed addendums with all of our other wedding vendors within 2 weeks of setting the new date.) Literally 15 months went by and there was no addendum or update from Andrea. Sadly, by the time our rescheduled Summer 2021 wedding date arrived, Andrea had completely stopped responding to **all forms** of communication. We tried all the previous ways of getting in contact with her, including calling her cell, leaving voicemail, texting her, emailing her, and messaging her on her client portal (HoneyBook). Complete radio silence. Andrea ghosted us, took our deposit, and left us without wedding coordination services. Initially we tried to give her the benefit of the doubt; perhaps she had fallen ill with Covid, or some calamity had befallen her, such that she was completely unable to respond to her clients in any way? But we saw she's been posting new updates on her Instagram page, so she's definitely alive and able to communicate! To this date as we write this review, we have had no response from her, not even an apology or excuse for her completely dropping the ball on all forms of communication. Thankfully, we proceeded with our wedding with the help of family and friends. But, given our awful experience with Andrea, we feel compelled to warn others. We are extremely disappointed with the dishonesty and lack of professionalism from Andrea Abel and do not recommend her at all.

Before I signed the contract for our wedding venue, I noticed there was a clause that required an…read moreindependent wedding coordinator. Cue the "looks like we have to spend money on yet another vendor" eye roll. I know, I feel you... but hear me out. Fast forward to now, 60-ish days post wedding day, and I can confidently say that I didn't just need a coordinator, I WANTED a coordinator. More specifically, I wanted Andrea and her team at Events by Abel. Despite the fact that we hired her for day of coordination, this woman went above and beyond, and made sure I was on track and comfortable with my planning progress for OVER A YEAR. During each check-in meeting, and more importantly on the big day itself, Andrea was kind, thoughtful, professional, funny, prepared, and ready to tackle whatever was thrown at her -- and then some. Despite the flaws, our wedding was flawless in my mind, and the bulk of the credit goes to Andrea. I recommend her without reservation.

Sara is AMAZING!! She came in a few months before our wedding and my husband and I agree that she's…read morethe best money we could have spent. She was professional, attentive, responsive, proactive, and just an all-around pleasure to work with. She understood my vision better than I did and was able to execute the absolute wedding of my dreams. Seriously, I gave almost no direction for the decor and she took what I gave her and made magic. She came up with ideas and recommendations I never would have and she asked all the questions I had no idea to ask. We would have been lost without her. Sara communicated well with vendors, with our wedding party, and with everyone else involved. She even went so far as to file our marriage license for us! I truly cannot recommend Sara and Clink and Cake enough - thank you endlessly for everything that you did to help us!

We absolutely LOVED working with Sara from Clink and Cake! From the very beginning she was…read moreextremely understanding of what we wanted our wedding day to look like, and on top of that was able to add suggestions to make it even better! We picked the day-of coordinator package and in preparation of it all met up for 1 virtual meeting and 2 in person meetings to make sure everything was moving along smoothly (she also checked in quite often to ensure that we were staying in track with booking all of the different vendors). During the rehearsal Sara was extremely helpful as well, she had previously visited the venue to make sure how the logistics would work best (also talked to the owners to get additional information regarding the venues operations which was amazing). Once we went through the rehearsal, she then stayed and set up the venue EXACTLY how we wanted it. It looked like a dream! Once we got to the day off, Sara was on top of things from the get go. We had so many guests come up to us amazed at just how smoothly the entire night went. Finally when the wedding came to an end Sara did not miss a beat with having everything cleaned up promptly and the final vendors paid off! Thank you Sara, you made our very special day extremely enjoyable!!

As someone who works in the wedding industry myself, I have high expectations -- and she completely exceeded them. What impressed me the most was how effortlessly she brought my vision to life.

Christina has such a natural eye for design and an incredible sense of style. She's professional, kind, and truly cares about making everything look beautiful. I can't recommend her enough -- if you want someone who will transform your space with creativity and class, she's the one!

The attention to every detail was unmatched, and Christina really went the extra mile to make sure that my vision came to life. I also found that her approach was truly more focused on building the day to my vision, and my budget. She went above and beyond to find cost saving solutions, recommend vendors that met my criteria and price point, and she did not nickle and dime me on items that other vendors certainly did. From day one, through the final moments of my wedding, Christina and Azure events were always on my side, and I can honestly say that the day of my wedding was completely seamless. I felt no bumps, no issues, and I was totally relaxed knowing my wedding was in the best of hands. I cannot recommend this team enough! You will not be disappointed!

A few weeks prior to our wedding, I got very sick and Wendy began working with my aunt and uncle in San Diego to make sure everything was taken care of while I recovered. I so appreciated her flexibility! We finally met Wendy in person the morning of our wedding as she was setting up our room at Marina Village. She and her staff were so friendly and gave us a lot of great advice. In fact, she saved us a lot of stress by allowing us to hire her cleaning services the day of the wedding! She and her staff showed up at 9:30pm and began cleaning up, slicing the cake for us, and making sure all was clean by the end of our party. What a life saver!! She went above and beyond! Plus, her decorations were fabulous - everyone was raving! From the centerpieces, to the table linens, and spandex chair covers, everything was beautiful.

We took pictures prior to the wedding ceremony at our hotel; on the day of the wedding she picked up the flowers and delivered them to our hotel room so that we would have them in our pictures. When we got to the venue everything looked perfect. She worked great with all of the vendors and made sure everyone was fed and tips were distributed.

Thankfully we were smart enough to hire the team for the month of coordination and the moment they took the reins from us, we knew we were in good hands.

Kaye and Leilani were such a great resource for any and all wedding questions and were very quick to respond.

In fact, all of their recommended vendors are businesses we'd return to or recommend!
