Kristen is an absolute ROCKSTAR! Over the course of planning our wedding (which took the better…read morepart of 3 years thanks to Covid) she has become more than just a wedding planner to me, but someone I truly call a friend. She is the sweetest and most caring person and I found myself being able to talk to her about things beyond wedding details. Not to mention, she is absolutely spectacular at what she does. We hired Kristen for Design Planning and Month/Day-of-Coordination for our wedding at Solage in Calistoga. We wanted someone who was not only familiar with our venue but easygoing and fun to work with. Kristen was perfect! She worked with me on design (tablescape, floral, etc.) and helped make our vision come true while always being mindful of what we were comfortable with. When Covid struck, Kristen was a godsend and was there for us with support and guidance. She navigated us through two postponements and each time handled all of the logistics and worked with our entire vendor team to secure new dates and negotiate amended contracts. We didn't have to lift a single finger during that stressful period besides signing paperwork as Kristen did everything for us to ensure a smooth postponement process. As a planner, Kristen has a special way of making you feel like you are her only and most special client. She is incredibly responsive with emails and every interaction I had with her was just so thoughtful. She never once made me feel silly for reaching out even with the smallest of questions. She is creative, detail-oriented and thoughtful. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, she helped me stay organized and executed changes effortlessly. When I was stressed dealing with last minute transportation logistics, she took it upon herself to take over the task and thanks to her many contacts in Napa Valley was able to secure the right post-wedding transportation for our guests. Ironically, when I was first researching Day-of-Coordinators, I recall reading a review from one of Kristen's brides that mentioned Kristen was amazing during times of crisis and helped her wedding go smoothly despite raging wildfires that day. I remember thinking to myself if, god forbid, our wedding was threatened by NorCal wildfires (which at the time was the most realistic scary thing that could happen), I would definitely want a planner capable of handling a nightmare scenario. Low and behold, Kristen didn't just "handle" our pandemic wedding planning, she crushed it. Our June 2022 Solage wedding turned out absolutely beautiful! The day flowed seemlessly and Kristen and her assistant Sonja were so organized and helpful, I never had to lift a finger. Most importantly, both were just all-around delightful to work with. I remember Sonja helping me stay calm right before I walked down the aisle because I was starting to feel so overwhelmed with joy I nearly bursted into tears. When my husband's shoes were starting to give him trouble, Kristen literally helped bandage him up! We've also had so many family members and other vendors tell us just how wonderful Kristen was to work with that day. I am almost saddened to write this review because not only does it mean my wedding is over, but also because my time working with Kristen has come to an end. If you don't read any of what I wrote above, just read this - hiring Kristen was by far the best decision we made for our wedding. From day 1 we were in good hands and while they say no one cares more about your wedding than you do, that cannot be said about Kristen. She cares as much about your special day as you do.

I must admit, I'm a little embarrassed to be writing this review so late! We hired Kristen for our…read more2019 wedding at Viansa Sonoma Winery. Based on our needs, we went with a day/month-of planning package with event design. While we were only contracted for 3 scheduled meetings together, working with Kristen meant having a trusted professional to bounce ideas off of over email or phone, with basically any and all questions about vendors, timing, rehearsal dinner ideas, etc etc. After having attended a few weddings after our own and seeing some of the behind-the-scenes, what we feel makes Kristen a fantastic wedding coordinator/planner for us was that she not only has a good eye for design and incorporating a couple's individual style into a wedding vision, but she is also incredibly organized, responsive, detail-oriented, trustworthy, thoughtful, and personable - everything that you want in someone who will be working with you to plan one of the most important days of your life! Before planning our wedding, I would have definitely considered myself a bit of a neurotic perfectionist; probably not a wedding planner's first choice of a bride/groom/couple! Despite this, Kristen never once made us feel silly or self-conscious about all the questions we had, and she was remarkably patient when we were indecisive or when we couldn't quite nail down the direction we wanted to go in. She was practical and gave great suggestions on which design details to commit to and leave behind if we felt like we were straying too far from our initial budget, and ultimately, we reached a design that we still swoon about. Prior to the wedding, she got in contact with each and every vendor and created detailed plans/timelines/layouts for our wedding day and venue to make sure everyone could be on the same page. Having all the details/specifics on paper and transparently communicated with us and our vendors put us at complete ease! What really made me come back and write a review over 2 years after our wedding (I am still kicking myself for somehow forgetting to do so right away!), is all the details and stories that have surfaced from friends and family to this day about everything Kristen and the Sugar Rush team were doing behind the scenes. The rehearsal was conducted so smoothly - there was no question about who needed to go where and when, and they left no stone left unturned. Details like - which way should we stand for the best light at the time of our ceremony, giving the bridesmaids and groomsmen visual markers in the ceremony space so they would know where to walk and where to stand, touching base with each speaker and confirming whether they wanted a mic or a lapel, when they would get tapped to mic-up on the day of the wedding and who they should look for if they have questions, where the wedding party could leave their belongings during the ceremony and throughout the night - the list goes on and on! Things you wouldn't even think to consider, Kristen and her team already had covered. I learned Kristen and the Sugar Rush team (Sonja and Madison) were always available to grab and hold onto sunglasses and personal items for our Moms and wedding party and always made sure personal belongings made it back to the right person. When my husband accidentally spilled red gatorade on his white dress shirt, Kristen was there with a Shout wipe to save the day. There were a few super minor hiccups (I think one table had one fewer chair, and champagne glasses weren't set at each table setting since the caterer thought these would be passed), but Kristen and her team quickly remedied the situation and I never even heard about it until months later! We got more wind than we were expecting on our wedding day, and Kristen quickly pivoted some of our design elements to ensure things wouldn't be blowing over during the ceremony and cocktail hour. She just had great instincts and judgment and was so on top of everything! It was like the Sugar Rush team was simultaneously so present, but so invisible throughout the night. I am so thankful to Kristen and her team for their services, both leading up to our wedding, and on the day of. For any couple on the fence about hiring a wedding coordinator/planner - DO IT! I would choose Kristen and Sugar Rush Events again without a question!

Here to echo everyone else's praise! Rebecca was the best decision my husband and I made about our…read morewedding. Once we realized planning a wedding is not as easy as it seems, we reached out to Rebecca after running into her while planning someone else's wedding at our venue. Although it was luck that we found her, we would hire her again in a heartbeat. Rebecca is extremely organized, extremely creative, and a really, really, really nice person to be around. Both the planning and day of our wedding were such a joy, and we have Rebecca to thank for that. Our wedding had a lot of moving parts, and Rebecca worked equally well with nervous parents on logistics, with me on design details, and coordinating with vendors. (Our photographer and officiant hadn't worked with her before, and both separately commented that she was exceptionally organized and professional). Rebecca even managed to kindly wrangle all 17 members (seriously) of our "boisterous" bridal party. If you're wavering on hiring a planner, just do it. It doesn't mean the wedding won't be 100% your vision, but it does mean you won't be bogged down in the stress of vendor contracts and timetables, and can focus on the good stuff. THANK YOU REBECCA!

If we could give Rebecca 10 stars we would! Rebecca is truly incredible! From the moment we met…read moreher in our first planning meeting, we instantly clicked and knew she was the perfect planner to take our vision and execute it perfectly. We had some general ideas and a vision for our wedding day and she immediately "got it" and offered her creative ideas right away.

The vendors that Rebecca suggested to us were all amazing and everyone worked so well together. All of our guests said it was the best wedding they ever attended. It truly was beyond our dreams! My wife and I feel so grateful that we found Rebecca and hope that we continue to stay in touch! If you are looking for a planner, look no further.

Meag was our planner for our Oct 2025 wedding at Solage in Napa. Hiring Meag as our wedding planner…read morewas hands-down the best decision we made during our wedding planning process. We cannot recommend her highly enough. From our very first interaction through the wedding day, Meag was the most responsive, organized, and dedicated partner we could have ever asked for. I've never worked with someone who responds as quickly as Meag does. While she is on top of everything, Meag also has a super relaxed presence, which made the planning process so enjoyable (something not many of my friends who work with other planners say). Not only is she a logistics expert, but she also has an incredible eye for design. She really listened to our vision and helped us figure out where to splurge to make a big impact and where we could save. She also gave us the BEST vendor recommendations--every single person she recommended was awesome to work with. On the wedding day, Meag was flawless. We were able to be completely present and enjoy our day because we knew she had everything under control. Every single element, from the shuttles and the ceremony to the food and dancing, ran so smoothly. Our guests kept coming up to us all weekend commenting not just on how beautiful the wedding was, but how every single detail had been thought of. We truly couldn't be happier with how everything turned out, and it's all thanks to Meag. We wish we could get married again so we had an excuse to keep working with her!

She took care of meetings with the venue & caterer, and set up and clean up so we didn't have to do much of the work, giving us room to enjoy the day! Would highly recommend her to anyone planning a large event. I hope to work with her again in the future! *will add some professional photos when I have them

We were fortunate to have Caryl and team for our wedding. We wanted a intimate and refined wedding…read morethat reflected our tastes and personalities. However, we had a limited budget, very little time to oversee details, and no idea where to start on the endless list of tasks that make up a wedding. Enter Caryl, Amy and Nicole. They worked closely with us to narrow down our personal styles. They provided guidance on timing, budget and project plan. They helped us find fantastic vendors both big and small from the local letterpress printer who did our invites to the cutest "Provence within a few blocks of Sonoma Square" indoor / outdoor venue with amazing food and wine to the right linen rentals to a florist we didn't think we could afford to a DJ that our wedding guests are still raving about. And, when we ran into billing and contract issues, Caryl was the one we turned to to resolve them on our behalf. Without the ROAR team, we would not have found these vendors, and we would have a hard time juggling the various aspects of putting on a wedding. Caryl's true talents reside in her ability to conceptualize and style beautiful events. Caryl provided recommendations on where we should spend and save to get the most "visual bang for our buck" in terms of florals, linens and decor. The result was a warm, beautiful, intimate winery wedding that truly represented our personal styles and showcased Sonoma to our many out of town guests who had never been to California. Even now, months after our wedding, guests still tell us that they enjoyed our wedding tremendously with comments about the amazing food, observations that we had one of the prettiest wedding they've ever attended, to fun memories about how well the DJ could read and energize the crowd. My husband and I can't take credit for any of these things, as it's all due to great work of the ROAR team.
