When I was browsing the website, I'll admit I thought the photos looked too good to be true...you see the picture and brace yourself for something that's close but not quite. Not here. The arrangements that arrived looked EXACTLY like the photos. I couldn't believe it. Jeannie is also wonderful to work with -- quick to respond, super kind, and you can tell she genuinely cares. The thoughtfulness and time that goes into every arrangement is obvious the second you see them. So glad I randomly stumbled across them while looking for local flower vendors. They have a customer for life -- well worth every penny.

Abby is an absolute rockstar wedding planner! Where do we even start? From our very first call with…read moreAbby, we knew she was different. She wasn't just trying to sell us a package - she genuinely wanted to get to know us as a couple, our story, and the kind of vibe we wanted our wedding to have. That first impression stuck with us. Over the next two years of planning, Abby and her team brought our ideas to life and helped to make our dream wedding a reality. Design: We told Abby we wanted an "East Meets West" theme that blended our cultures in a way that felt modern and elegant, a tough balance that could've easily come off as cheesy in if executed poorly. But Abby nailed it of course, her design sense is unreal. From color palettes and floral choices to the way she tied together modern décor with cultural elements, everything was cohesive and elevated. She has an incredible eye for detail and always found creative, out-of-the-box ways to make our ideas work. The end result was a wedding that felt truly felt like us! Communication: Throughout the entire process, Abby and her team were consistently on top of communication. She kept us updated between meetings, sent friendly reminders, and made sure we were always aligned on next steps. It's easy for things to slip through the cracks when planning something this big, but Abby kept everything organized and stress-free. We never once felt out of the loop, she was always calm, professional, and genuinely fun to talk to. Vendor Management: Abby's vendor management skills are next level. She has deep connections and knows everyone in the wedding world. When we needed vendors for flowers, desserts, or décor, she already had a curated list of the best options with pros and cons ready for us. Some of our vendors were booked more than a year in advance, but Abby and her team were always on top of follow-ups, contracts, and logistics. By the time the big day arrived, every vendor was perfectly coordinated. It really felt like we had assembled the Avengers of wedding vendors! Working Style: We can't say enough about how enjoyable it was to work with Abby and her team. They're so friendly, positive, and genuinely care about their couples. You can tell they love what they do and that they actually enjoy working together - it felt like they were more of friends than coworkers. Whenever unexpected hiccups came up (and they always do in wedding planning), Abby handled them with grace and a sense of humor. She's done hundreds of weddings, so she always had the experience to guide us to make informed decisions. It was so fun working with the entire team and it made the stressful process of wedding planning feel less stressful. Execution: This is where Abby and her team truly shine. Planning is one thing, but executing flawlessly is another and they did it all seamlessly. From coordinating vendors to keeping our timeline on track, they were everywhere and nowhere all at once, putting out fires behind the scenes before we even knew they existed. The day flowed perfectly. At the end of the night, we were blown away to see how they had already packed up all our belongings, made sure our ride was ready, and tied up every little loose end without us lifting a finger. That level of thoughtfulness really showed how much they care. Budget & Financial Management: The truth is weddings are expensive, and it's easy for costs to spiral if you're not careful. Abby was phenomenal at keeping everything organized and transparent. She tracked every expense, set reminders for upcoming milestone payments for vendors, and even handled tipping for all our vendors so we didn't have to stress about it on the big day. What really stood out was her honesty and foresight -- anytime a decision could push us beyond our budget, she proactively flagged it and walked us through the financial trade-offs before we committed. Thanks to her meticulous tracking and planning, there were zero surprises at the end. Everything was clearly outlined and accounted for, which gave us complete peace of mind. In short, Abby and her team are the best in the business. They bring design expertise, organization, and heart to every step of the process. You'll see what we mean once you have the first introductory call with her. She's the kind of planner who truly loves what she does, doesn't settle for anything less than perfect, and it shows in every detail. We highly recommend her for anyone looking for a top class wedding planner!

As my wife and I were planning our wedding we both knew we wanted a team to support and guide us through the planning process. Working with Abby and Amanda definitely made the entire wedding planning process seamless. From our very first meeting they really helped put things into focus and laid out a clear milestones and goals throughout. On the day of our wedding and weeks leading up to it, Abby and Amanda ensured that our decorations and everything came out according to plan.

We…read morecreated a gorgeous, colorful, ultra-lush Indian-meets-Mexican wedding together, and Cortney brought such a calm, positive presence to the day. She was approachable, helpful when needed, and completely on top of every detail. What stood out most was the spirit of collaboration--Cortney made every vendor feel like a true team player. Too often, planners can make you feel like you're working under them instead of with them, but that was absolutely not the case here. Her entire team was lovely, supportive, and an absolute pleasure to work alongside. I'd happily work with them again anytime! HIRE HER! You won't regret it!

We got married on 3/26/21 and from the day we hired her 1 year prior she was nothing but awesome. For starters, she is truly a kind person who knows literally all things wedding. My now husband and I are both resident physicians and looking back it's so hilarious to think how lost we would have been if it weren't for her knowledge. She made my life 1000x easier and addresses and fixes problems that you didn't even know or think you would have in a wedding. She always responded to us quickly and I know she saved us hours and hours of time by how helpful she was coordinating things for us. I must have changed my mind a hundred times regarding the decor or design of our wedding, and she immediately rolled with the punches and did everything possible to make all of that happen. We had multiple vendor meetings together in person despite being in a pandemic and she always brought her a-game to those. We never knew what questions to ask the vendors, but honestly, we didn't have to! Cortney literally runs the show and gets all the hard talking done so you don't have to. My parents, my bridesmaids, and even guests of the wedding kept commenting on how efficient she was at addressing and fixing all the little things that naturally happen during the day of the wedding. For example, the evening before our wedding rehearsal she asked me if I had a coat for the next day since it was going to be chilly. I told her I hadn't and literally right after the rehearsal, I received text messages from her at the mall with pictures of coats that she thought would look good with my dress. She really went above and beyond for us because at her core you can tell she really cares. She and her team will always hold a special place in our heart and we can't thank her enough for helping make our wedding as beautiful as it was seamless. Seriously a perfect day.

Hiring Natalie and A Good Affair was THE BEST DECISION WE MADE!…read more If you're on the fence about hiring a wedding planner at all, hire Natalie and A Good Affair. DO IT. It is more than worth it! I got married in December 2025 in my parent's backyard in North Tustin, and people are still talking about how AMAZING our wedding day was! Yes, we have fabulous family and friends who love us, and they made our day extra special, but I'm telling you right now, the day was perfect because of Natalie and her team. The time and effort AGA went into getting to know us and our must-haves put us at ease immediately. Planning a wedding is such a collaborative process, and we walked away from every meeting feeling heard and supported. The outcome? The best day of our lives! Natalie is one of the most professional talents in her field. I'm amazed at how she comes up with her amazing visions, and then brings them to life. Her organization, clear communication, and attention to detail are unmatched. On top of that, she is very well respected in the wedding community. Everyone I came into contact with assured me I was working with the best. SPOILER ALERT: We were! Team AGA took our ideas and transformed them into a well-curated dream. Every detail was beyond what I could have ever imagined! Additionally, Team AGA's experience blew us away. The vendors they recommended were top-tier and brought the wedding day together seamlessly. From the DJ to the caterer to the florist to the HMU team, each vendor was thoughtfully chosen to meet the needs of our wedding. Team AGA truly listened to what we liked and brought together an even better vision than we could have ever hoped for! They anticipated everything, and handled day-of setbacks like pros. They created a calm and easy-going presence that set a peaceful tone for the day. Our wedding party and guests said it was the best wedding they had been to or been a part of. My husband and I felt doted on up until our wedding exit, and we still talk about how much we miss Natalie, Kayla, and Jesica. Team AGA continue to be so thoughtful and sent my sister and I flowers and sweet treats on our birthday in February. They truly became part of our family throughout the wedding planning process.

From the very beginning, Jesse approached everything with compassion, clarity and care. He communicated a thoughtful plan and followed through on every detail. His attention to detail and expertise truly stood out. He thoughtfully included drone footage and went the extra mile by creating an additional video to honor guests who weren't completely captured in the original, which made the tribute even more meaningful to our family. He also honored our family request not to record my Mother and was very discreet in capturing memorial guests on video. Jesse kept me informed throughout the process and worked efficiently to ensure everything was captured beautifully and on time. I was incredibly impressed with how Jesse and his team made everything came together so smoothly especially given our emotional circumstances. Jesse's personal touch and heartfelt kindness meant a lot. He was friendly, patient and attentive, providing comfort and guidance every step of the way. The final video was something our family will treasure forever and it perfectly honored my mother's memory.

This review is for Roxanne Ellison who was my wedding coordinator++ for my outdoor wedding in June…read more I say ++ because she was so much more than just a day of coordinator. She helped bring together part of my vision for the theme of the wedding by finding and contracting with several local vendors for the event. She managed those vendors and ensured their product met my needs. She also helped to manage the many other vendors I had contracted with, as well as give me great recommendations for professionals. All this plus her day of coordinator duties, all for a very reasonable price. But most important of all, it was how she treated me and my husband throughout the process. She was the sweetest, most caring professional I dealt with the entire time. She always had our best interest in mind. She sacrificed so much of her time (beyond her contract expectations) to make sure she got the job done. She dealt with some very challenging situations including a difficult event manager at my venue, a late florist who stuck her with the set up, a diva of a DJ, and a disorganized caterer. She herself always maintained a professional and positive attitude and protected me from the chaos of the day. From the moment I met her I knew she was going to be a genuine person who was going make me feel calm, comfortable and happy on my wedding day, and I was right! On the day of, she managed everything that was thrown at her, and kept us on time, and kept my champagne glass full! She honestly was my saving grace throughout this crazy planning process, and I recommend her to any bride trying to pull off a beautiful and joyous wedding!

They gave me multiple options on how we could proceed, and in the end I chose to do the ceremony solo with my husband and this was played for the wedding guests at the reception which we attended virtually over a projector. The team worked non-stop to coordinate all these last minute changes, and to carry out an absolutely beautiful, albeit unusual wedding. I truly don't know what I would have done without them! They have the experience to carry out an incredible wedding, they know all the ins and outs of the industry and plan ahead for what could go wrong, so that nothing does! Not only do you get a wedding planner but you get a huge team of them, each with distinct roles! The packages are very affordable (a great deal for what you get especially) and the venues are GORGEOUS!

Cheryl, Carly, Dani, Cicely, Elise, Hannah, Ryann, we love you guys, thank you for everything, and hope to work with you again, maybe on vow renewals after this whole COVID thing has settled down!
