Mackenzie was the wedding planner for our daughter's wedding, which was held this past weekend at…read morethe Parker Palm Springs. Her professionalism, her experience, her smarts, her familiarity with the locale, her industry contacts (ranging from floral to furniture rental to catering), and her like-able personality ... all resulted in a fabulous event that was fun and tasteful and just plain awesome. I lost track of how many guests came up to us and raved (unsolicited) about how much fun they were having and how well thought out everything was. Mackenzie gets tons of credit for all those compliments. We agreed wholeheartedly with the sentiments of our guests. We were overjoyed. Superb job, Mackenzie!

Our wedding day was truly one of the best days of our lives, and we're incredibly grateful that our…read morevision came to life. The final design was beautiful, and we loved working with our vendor team. Unfortunately, our experience with Details Darling throughout the planning process did not meet our expectations. The biggest challenge was communication. Responses regularly took about a week, despite email being identified as the preferred method of communication, and we often had to send multiple follow-ups or text messages to receive answers. More concerning, these communication delays also affected our vendors. Our rental company repeatedly followed up on outstanding items because they were unable to get the information they needed, and I ultimately called them myself to apologize and reassure them that we valued their partnership. Our paper goods designer also contacted me directly on multiple occasions because they were not receiving timely responses from our planner. Accountability was another significant disappointment. We spoke with one of the owners during our initial consultation, but after signing our contract and submitting our deposit, we never heard from ownership again. In fact, after our deposit had been in their possession for several days, I had to reach out myself asking what the next steps were. Later, after raising serious concerns about our experience early in the planning process, there was still no outreach or involvement from ownership to understand our concerns or ensure our experience improved. That lack of leadership and accountability was disappointing. Throughout the planning process, we often felt like we were driving the work ourselves. We were the ones identifying ways to reduce costs while still achieving our design goals. Rather than acting as a strategic partner in balancing budget and design, we often found ourselves leading those conversations. We also experienced confusion with rental pricing that resulted in unnecessary time and effort to resolve. There were also several day-of execution issues that were disappointing, including our escort card display not being set up as designed, my veil not being steamed, music delays with our ceremony and reception entrance, limited coordination during family photos, meals that were promised to be saved for us never being delivered, and our cake still being rock hard because it had not been removed from refrigerator in time. None of these issues individually ruined our wedding day, but together they reflected a pattern of slow communication, limited accountability, and inconsistent execution. Looking back, we believe our wedding was as successful as it was because of our own preparation and the exceptional work of vendors we selected, none of which were on the recommended vendor list from our planner. We appreciate the time Monica invested in our wedding and her kindness. However, based on our experience, we cannot recommend her or Details Darling's planning services to couples looking for a planner who will communicate proactively, advocate for their clients, and consistently follow through on commitments.

Grace, you're simply the best…read more We had 6 months to plan our wedding and truly none of it would've been possible without Grace. From our initial call with Grace, it was clear she understood our vision and she had this calm (almost Zen-like) confidence about her that made us feel heard, cared for, and like she's the type to be on top of her stuff and get sh*t done to make our wedding our best day ever. Grace suggested partial planning with us which helped us save some $$ without compromising any thing. It was perfect for us because she helped with vendor communication and provided a variety of recommendations for us to look into. She was extremely patient with us (I'm a Virgo ). She answered any questions we had with care, handled communicating the feedback we had with vendors, worked with new vendors we found, and offered her expert opinion in a way where we felt she was always taking our overall vision into consideration. Her level of service was consistent throughout the planning process, to the wedding day, and all through to the end of clean up and the breakdown of the wedding. Grace, you and your team made the day absolutely seamless and magical for us. Side note: My wife and I didn't realize that Grace delivered her second child during our planning process with her - there was not a single hiccup in her service, so this woman is a superwoman and super mom!

We had a wedding planner before Grace that we had to part ways with in the middle of the planning process. This made me extremely anxious to put trust in someone else with such an important day in our lives. But from the first call with Grace, all of those anxieties disappeared! She is calm, she gets it done, and she was somehow always one step ahead of anything that popped into my mind at any given moment! Before the event, Grace kept us organized, gave us great recommendations for vendors, and grounded us. She coordinated with all of our vendors, including reading through every contract. She made sure our wedding day ran seamlessly. Grace prioritized exactly what was important to the bride and groom. Even making sure we ate our dinner! And when the caterer forgot to bring the vegan meals, she handled the situation quickly and without causing any stress to us or our guests. My family and friends were extremely complimentary of their interactions with Grace and were all very impressed with how the day ran. For the bride and groom, being able to enjoy each other and our day without worrying about the details on the day-of is so important. Grace did that and more!

My wife and I had already done a lot of the planning for our wedding and in accordance with our…read morevenues requirements, we hired Nam as our wedding coordinator for a 30 day out and day of service. We were initially very impressed with his initiative to get started ahead of that timeline and to offer to take over many responsibilities that we did not ask or expect him to do. With less than 6 weeks to the wedding he started missing his own self imposed deadlines to get back to us with various tasks which started making us uneasy as we would have already have taken care of them if it was still left to us. My wife had a conversation with him 3 weeks prior to the wedding regarding that issue and his general unresponsiveness, he accepted responsibility and put us at ease. While we really like his calm demeanor both leading up to and during the day of the wedding, he was not on top of the itinerary from the beginning to the end and we both felt like he was simply in over his head. Others stepped in numerous times to do his job (notably our photographer/videographer) and help keep the wedding on track with the timeline we had created. Certain things were asked of him several times and yet neither he nor his two helpers (who we were mostly impressed with) delivered. For a smaller wedding (ours had over 200 people) it is very possible that he would do a good job, we however regretted our decision to hire him. Also, we contacted him a couple times regarding items he/his team did not retrieve from our ceremony and he neglected to follow up.

Planing your wedding can be a daunting task, stressful, chaotic, filled with drama, and sometimes disappointing and this is where Amber stepped in and saved us. Hiring Amber was one of the best decisions we made. Amber understood our vision and already had ideas of how to achieve them even before we officially hired her. You really cant say that about every vendor or wedding coordinator out there. For some vendors its just a contract but for Amber its creating a bond and we are grateful for that. Amber provides three different types of services depending on how much assistance you need in achieving your dream. Wedding Supervisor: http://www.amberevents.com/graphics/WeddingSUPERVISION.pdf Wedding Director: http://www.amberevents.com/graphics/WeddingDIRECTION.pdf Wedding production: http://www.amberevents.com/graphics/WeddingPRODUCTION.pdf We opted for the Wedding Director package since we already had booked some of the vendors. We needed someone to put all of our ideas together and make them work cohesively. Amber was all of that and a bag of chips. She had fantastic ideas, advice, took care of all of our vendors including the problematic ones, got us organized, gave us monthly tasks to complete, wedding day outline, rehearsal management, and the list goes on and on. Amber was very instrumental with our art deco theme ideas designing our invitation card, save the date cards, and using old luggage as part of our theme. Our wedding went off without a hitch. There were no problems with any of the vendors and they all knew what they had to do and at what time. All thanks to Amber and her amazing managerial skills and timeline mastery. We got what we wanted, to spend our wedding day with friends and family that we love stress free and most importantly smiling throughout the night celebrating our special day. Amber, Angela and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts and we don't consider you a "vendor" but a friend. Thank you for helping us make our vision and dream come true.

Lynnie and Lora made our wedding a dream come true!…read more My husband and I hired them for day-of wedding coordination and I'm so thankful we did. Button Events offers much more than just day-of - they met us for a walk-through at the vendor, were in regular contact with us about scheduling and the timeline, and gave us a number of great vendors to work with. They were responsive to all our millions of questions and emails and helped us put together the wedding we wanted (which ended up being rather complicated!). On the day of, Lynnie and Lora were professional, well-organized and made sure our wedding went off without a hitch! We couldn't have managed it without them. I highly recommend Button Events if you're looking for someone who will make sure your wedding or event goes perfectly!

The problem is when it came down to my own wedding, who was going to be MY rock. In steps Lynnie, which was a last minute decision. Was I ever glad that I made that decision. We were already working with her partner, Lo (see my review for LoMotion) for our wedding choreography. We were sad to find out that Lo was already booked for another event. That was my fault, I waited until 6 weeks before the wedding. Lynnie stepped up to the plate, help me organize and remind me of things that I needed to do. Trust me, no matter how organized and together you think you are for a wedding, your brain will become zombie mush. I was grateful for all the thoughtfulness she puts into her job. And the day of the wedding, she was amazing. She was there but very stealthy and at the ready. She was always anticipating the next step and kept an eye out for me. She was more awesome than JLo in "The Wedding Planner" with her kit of magic - she whipped my hair up in the reception bathroom in moments and created the perfect updo that stayed the rest of the evening. She even greeted me with blotting paper, knowing that I was about to get hit up our own paparazzi. Just to put it all in one sentence - she made our evening stress free and magical. Whether you are looking for a wedding coordinator or planning a impressive shin-dig; Button Events is a must!

We found the Say I Do to Details team online and I was highly impressed by their good reviews. Their planning exceeded my expectations. From being always available, to providing suggestions and insight into timeline, and coordinating everything so well the day of, their team is simply the best. I admire their passion for planning and it was so incredible working with them. I worked with Paola and Sandra directly and Sandra was there day of. Paola and Sandra are very experienced, professional, and kind. Both were actively involved in the planning process. I'm extremely type A and it's hard for me to trust people to take over (especially when I knew it was one of the most important days in my life) and take on tasks, but I trusted them 100%. To start off, they have a lot of experience working at Terannea, which made things a lot easier for us and helped things run smoothly. Moreover, the vendors I selected knew of Paola and Sandra and their team and I admired their good reputation in the wedding industry. Knowing what I know now, it would have been easier for me to have hired them as full on planning instead of day of coordination just because they're so good at what they do that I really trust every decision they make. I keep getting comments from my family and friends that the wedding was one of the best they've been to. Moreover I've received many comments specifically from my bridal party and close family about the incredible planning team keeping the day so smooth and on track. There's a trend on social media about "wedding regrets" and my husband and I keep saying to eachother thankfully that we have zero regrets. Every vendor was amazing and the planning team really went above and beyond what was asked of them and for that I'm forever grateful. I appreciate that the team asked us what 3 things were important to us on our day. 1. our guests have an amazing time 2. the timeline runs smoothly 3. to have fun That's exactly what happened! I am grateful that I was not stressed the day of and we are so happy we found Sandra and Paola as they helped turn my dream wedding into a reality. The wedding went even better than I could have imagined and I can say without a doubt that it would not have gone so perfectly without Sandra and Paola with Say I Do to Details. I will 100% contact them to help plan any party I have in the future. Choose them for your planning team- you won't regret it!

Wow, where do I start with this review? First, Natasha is the best Wedding Coordinator/Event…read morePlanner that I've ever met! She worked with me and my now husband on our wedding from contract negotiation of our wedding location (Estancia Resort) and all of our vendors. Knowing that I'm a stickler on negotiating the best price, Natasha completely surpassed our very high expectations. Natasha ensured that our flower vendor repeated our mock up of the center pieces until it met the vision that we had in mind; mind you Natasha handled this extra request without hesitation. When my Mom could not meet me for a dress fitting, Natasha was more than happy to meet me so that I didn't have to do the fitting by myself. It was the extra effort that she put forth that was truly appreciated. Now the day of the wedding, she popped in and out of the Bridal suite, providing me updates and made sure we had all of the necessary accoutrements that we needed. The entire day was filled with her making sure me and my husband were happy. The most memorable part, aside from the ceremony, is that she purposefully had my husband and I walk into the reception ballroom prior to our guests so that we could soak up the beautifully designed tables, flowers, etc....Natasha's excellent execution of this all too important day gave me a wedding day that I never thought would be possible in beauty, elegance, and ease. You would be crazy not to hire her!

We had already done all the footwork, booked vendors, had the timeline done and sent to vendors, planned, etc.... EVERYTHING was done!

Lily from Orange Blossom stepped up to the plate and did a phenomenal job!! She understood that we just needed someone there the day of and she never once overstepped or made us feel stressed. She followed our wishes perfectly and made sure our timeline was fulfilled to a T! Lily is extremely professional, patient and kind. She goes above and beyond on the day and made sure nothing went wrong!! We greatly appreciate Lily for taking us on as clients and being so easygoing, organized and kind! I also want to stress that Orange Blossom and Lily were kind enough to give us a discount since we had already done all the footwork! They didn't feel it was morally right to charge us for an overall planner/coordinator. It's rare (especially in the wedding industry) to find people with such great morals, integrity and kindness. But Lily and Orange Blossom are full of that! Thank you so much for all of your help, Lily! We appreciate you so much!! She deserves a raise and all the flowers. She's truly the best!
