Katie herself: Katie is a great listener, she took her time to get to know us and our style. She knows when to ask us for our approvals and when to just run with it. She is never overbearing, she never add any stress to the process, she only takes away stress. She truly cares about her clients, she really has your back! She is REALLY hard working but never complains. She is organized, efficient, and has amazing taste. My bridesmaid + groomsman were all really impressed with Katie as well. It is hard to summarize how much I love Katie. Planning service: We did Katie's partial planning option. We did the primary research on our venue and vendors, but we also went with a lot of Katie's recommended vendors (which are all top notch). Katie was there to consult with us along the way, and she met with our venue point of contact. She made sure we had hire all the vendors we needed, our floor plans made sense, our rentals are correct, etc etc. When it came closer to the wedding, Katie sends us a long document to fill out. After that she took over and told us that we don't have to do any more planning, and that we should just focus on relaxing and having fun! On the day of the wedding, Katie and her team got the rental equipment and set up everything. She later revealed that there were a lot of unforeseen issues with the rental, but when we showed up to the venue, everything was perfect and we had no idea that any issues had happened earlier. Katie took care of all the complications, and didn't show an ounce of tiredness. Katie was super organized, kept everybody in line and made sure we stayed on schedule. Everything was perfect. Floral + design service: We gave Katie our style and vision and she just ran with it. A lot of our guest complimented on how stylish the wedding was, and it was 100% Katie and team. The bridal bouquet that she put together was beautiful and unique. The center pieces looked effortlessly stylish. We were so impressed, Katie is amazingly talented. Thank you Katie and team! We appreciate everything that you do!

I plan plenty of events through my work, so planning my own wedding wasn't a big deal. However, I knew I needed help on the day of my wedding so I can actually experience it as a bride. I didn't want to task my friends with responsibility because I wanted them to enjoy the night, too. I reached out to a few wedding planners and decided to hire Katie Rebecca Events for my Day of Planner. Katie was amazing to work with! We met two months before the wedding to discuss my vision and my needs. She was generous with her time and advice from the get go! Throughout the process leading up to the event we talked on the phone and met in person to ensure that I was 100% comfortable and confident. The wedding night went flawlessly. All of the guests had an amazing time and I am so glad I got to experience it without stress or worries. I would highly recommend Katie to anyone getting married!!!

We met a few times in the months leading up to check in about my plans and for her to offer suggestions and guidance. All her recommendations were excellent, from timeline details to referring other vendors. She knows the Outdoor Art Club (a historic building) inside and out, so I was able to relax completely and not worry about their rules and requirements at all, trusting that Stacey had it covered. I made things more complicated by having our ceremony at a nearby park instead of OAC, but even with that added everything went absolutely perfectly. She also did an excellent job setting up all the decorations to make the room look gorgeous, and packing it all up for us at the end of the night, including a mail order Photo Booth that had to be packed just right back in its original box. She also had a number of decorations we could use (frames for signage, a card box, some candles, candelabras and votives, blankets for the ceremony) that were incredibly helpful. She had all the logistics and details covered, letting us and our families just enjoy the night and float through each different part without any worries! As the bride, I didn't think about anything but celebrating all night, and that is all thanks to Stacey's expertise. She also did our save the dates and invitations, as well as much of the signage for the wedding itself, and they were all beautiful. She really went above and beyond, including finding a specific font and actually creating some design elements herself that fit my vision, and I'm so appreciative!

My only requirement was "elegant, but fun" and that's exactly how the evening turned out. I was in tears I was so happy with the final results. My daughter, her boyfriend and I loved everything (and I'm type A and very picky!) Stacey always communicated about party arrangements on time and I was never worried about the party being the perfect day. Everything was completed on time and as planned- leaving me able to enjoy myself for the evening. Several guests commented that it was the best party they had been to! Stacey coordinated flowers, rentals and cookies with amazing vendors. She's the best!

Kaella and team made our wedding the most incredible experience of our lives. If I could give Madix and Co ten stars, I would. Our wedding was perfect thanks to Kaella's talent for creating a unique, personal aesthetic. We weren't great at describing our style or exactly what we wanted initially, but Kaella was able to translate our thoughts into a stunning celebration. She presented us with so many incredible options at different price points, guiding us through our options along the way. She didn't just plan a wedding, really - she took our vague vision and made it more beautiful than I ever thought possible. But what truly sets her and her team apart is in the execution. On the day of the wedding, my husband and I didn't have to think about a single logistical detail--we were able to just be present and soak in every moment because we knew Kaella and her team had everything under control. Kaella's vendor relationships are clearly unmatched in the industry, and it showed. Everything felt seamless. Finally, beyond her expertise, Kaella herself is just the most wonderful, warm, and charming person to work with. She exudes professionalism while being incredibly fun and a total pleasure to be around. Planning a wedding can be stressful, but she made the entire process feel like a collaboration with a friend who just happens to be the best in the business. Our wedding was absolutely perfect - so much more than I could have ever imagined. And hiring Madix and Co was the best decision we made. To Kaella and her team: thank you for making our dream a reality. To any couple looking for a planner: look no further. You've found the best.

I cannot recommend working with Mandy highly enough. She is thorough, flexible, organized,…read moredetail-oriented, responsive, and straight forward. She's also fun to work with and she was so genuinely excited about our wedding. Simply wonderful. We hired her right as we started to plan our wedding and spent around 16 months working on it, with a few month-long breaks in the middle when we got really busy with our jobs/travel/other things. Several things stand out to me about her work for us: * My husband and I were long distance at the time, so it made everything planning just a little harder. Mandy handled this with ease. * We wanted to work a little bit of both my cultural and family background (Chinese) and my husband's (Indian and Greek) into the wedding, and Mandy helped us to find creative ways to do so and find vendors who could fulfill these ideas and creative ways. We were especially pleased with our food vendor who Mandy recommended. * I like that she will tell you what she thinks, but also give you space to make decisions. She is open to many ideas and aesthetics, and really helps you to reach the decision that will make not just a beautiful wedding, but *your* beautiful wedding. * Mandy keeps your budget in mind - we came in $3k under our overall budget exactly, and she will let you know. Generally she gives options in a 'low', 'medium', and 'high' range so you get an actual range of choice. * Her network is extensive. It's quite nice because it means that anything you are considering she already has lots of experience working with the possible vendors, and you can piggy back off her good relations. * She plans work in stages and never lets it get overwhelming. This means you get to trust that she's handling the details (and there are details you would never think about on your own, like the catering flow through the venue) and just work on the homework she's assigned. * She is flexible and rolls with the new ideas/changes in plan, bringing enthusiasm and professionalism to these changes in plan. Weddings are a sensitive business. There's so many dreams, aspirations, family obligations, financial constraints tied together. Working with Mandy made handling that so, so much easier. I think about my wedding way too often - and always with joy. (p.c. curtis myers)

My year wedding anniversary is coming up and it's taken me this long to review because I've tried…read moreto salvage good from an overall stressful day. Mandy did an excellent job of connecting me to vendors that made my wedding gorgeous. It was aesthetically quite beautiful. But the Day Of coordination was bad. It was somehow my job (?) to keep bridal prep running on schedule. This took me out of the moment. But worse, when the bridal party got behind, she was an absolute tyrant. She was rude to me, my friends and my family. You never yell at a bride on her wedding day! Not to mention-- I didn't hire Day Of coordination to be burdened with duties and chores. On top of that, she didn't allow me time to touch up makeup between photos so I hate my weddding pics. Then, there was "no time" to bundle my dress so there are some stains I can't get out. She was unbelievably unprofessional and shockingly disrespectful. Overall, everyone had a nice time except the people who had to deal with her directly. Including me. I've been hoping to get over it but yes, it's still a year later and she made me feel horrible on my wedding day, like somehow I was unworthy of MY own day. I can not recommend this woman's services.

Jennifer was great help, she provided plenty of organizational tools and templates in advance and…read moreis willing to listen. On top of the day of coordination, she includes check-ins months prior, a venue walkthrough and rehearsal coordination which I found extremely valuable to keep myself on track and have her really get to know my vision. She will ask questions you didn't even think about! Based on my specific experience, it was generally stellar but a few marks were missed at the beginning of the big day. Without an assistant, she was fully occupied with setting up decor downstairs so the prime management of multiple hand-offs, dealing with vendors arriving at once, crossing off key happenings on the timeline was not entirely covered. Otherwise, the wedding would of been near perfect. At the end of the day, she genuinely cares about her brides and works hard to make your dreams come to life.

They were very accommodating, and every request was fulfilled…read more Normally it takes her team up to three (3) hours to set everything up (we had 16 tables, 128 chairs, and other decorative items); when the time of drop off came, the venue only allowed one (1) hour!!

My partner and I were not involved any "hiccups" in the day of, so it was a relief to know that everything was taking care of has plan. We will definitely use Rustic Events again, and will of course recommend them. -Milton and Manny 05142016

Willow Camp is catering my wedding in August and I can't give them a full 5 stars yet because I…read morehaven't tasted their food. My review is based on my experience with them in the planning process. WIllow Camp is run and owned by Wendy DiPaolo who has been more than accommodating throughout putting my wedding plan together. She was recommended by several people, whenever I told someone I'm getting married in Stinson Beach they said, "You have to talk to Willow Camp." With so many recommendations I was sure she'd be the most expensive caterer in the area and would be out of my budget. Turns out she's very reasonable and is willing to work within a budget while still offering a lovely menu. We're also vegetarian which she handled beautifully when she crafted our menu offering foods that are substantial enough so that our guests won't miss having meat. Most of the other caterers who created menus for us didn't seem to be able to put together a vegetarian menu of substance, I don't want my guests to leave feeling hungry! I also like the fact that Willow Camp is a smaller operation and you deal directly with the owner. Too many caterers pass you through the ranks and you don't even know which person will be at your event. This is an abbreviated review and once my wedding actually happens I'll come back to update, in the meantime I would recommend Willow Camp to anyone.

Wendy DiPaolo is the owner and an expert at helping you shape your menu and work within your budget. She is very flexible with meeting your needs and really knows how to capture a wedding vision through food. We really wanted locally sourced food that showcased the North Coast area and they specialize here. Additional to our wonderful food and attentive and caring service, Wendy helped us source folks to help set up and break down our wedding. Suki, who works with Wendy was also invaluable. They anticipated needs and really pitched in to help us throw a wedding we will always remember. They also went above and beyond and we truly felt that they cared for our event like it was their own! We had alot of moving parts with a Friday night party, a ceremony on the beach and a reception at the SBCC and we couldn't have done it without them!

I'm a pretty hands-on, detail oriented person, but I feel I would have spiraled without Sarah. She's grounded and super helpful. I really appreciated our video calls and in-person venue walkthroughs. She took detailed notes about all our preferences and made sure the day-of was perfect. With her at the helm, I got to be a jellyfish and just float along and enjoy my wedding! I know people say you can't have a perfect wedding day, but I really felt like I did. I know that would not have been possible without Sarah and the A Touch of Grace team. We had 3 different venues, and setup/teardown needed at each. Sarah made sure to pickup everything we prepared a couple days ahead of the wedding, and dropped off everything after so we didn't have to worry. Logistically it was quite difficult, but I don't think I thought about any of that the day of. Sarah and her team also styled the detail items I prepared so beautifully too. It was just a magical day. Thank you! I'd recommend Sarah without hesitation.

Zoe made sure everything was done on time and handled in a very professional manner. Planning From the moment we hired Zoe, she made sure we adhered to a manageable time table so we did not have to feel rushed last minute. Zoe was always a phone call or text away if we needed anything during the months long lead up to our wedding. She did not hesitate with keeping us in line with the schedule, which we very much appreciated. Zoe has a great list of vendors she works with and each one of her recommendations were great! Zoe handled everything with contacting and coordinating with the list of vendors. Seeing Zoe work her magic on the day of the wedding was nothing short of awe-inspiring. Zoe had an answer for everything and smoothed out any small (or major, in my case forgetting the wedding rings down the street at our wedding suite) bump in the road. Her level of expertise in coordinating each small detail definitely helped put our minds at ease so we could focus on our special day. If anyone ever needs a wedding planner, look no further than with Zoe. I could not possibly recommend anyone more fit for the job than her!

Zoe was able to come through for us on short notice and made our wedding so special. I can honestly say our wedding would have been a hot mess if Zoe hadn't been there. She helped wrangle family members, helped with vendor coordination and made sure that everything was organized and where it needed to be from start to finish. She went above and beyond in her duties imo - caring for me and my partner, helping to manage our emotions, being kind to our guests (who wanted to hire her too for their weddings!) and overall being a great manager of our event. She somehow manages to have a great balance of professionalism, organization, attention to detail, creativity and flexibility/empathy/adaptability to our needs - all while navigating 100ish guests and a demanding father-in-law. I can't say enough good things about Zoe - she was the best and I highly recommend her. Wish I could have another wedding just so I can work with her again :D
