Leandra is so great to work with. They're fun and collaborative, and they trust us on the event catering side to execute the vision of the event.

I couldn't recommend them more -- they're detail oriented, have beautiful design skills, and know how to make your wedding day seamless! The planning process: My husband and I started the wedding planning process by discussing the vision we wanted with Vanessa who is an amazing event designer. We talked through things like budget, design, must-haves, etc. From there, Vanessa put together a proposal for us based on the conversation with recommendations on vendors we could use from their relationships. Many of the vendors we landed on, came from Leandra Event's personal vendor relationships and we were so thrilled with all of the people we utilized for the wedding. Angela provided us guidance throughout the entire process, from hopping on vendor calls to building out the entire timeline for our wedding day. Both were incredibly responsive to all of the questions we had (which was definitely a lot), and worked with us to ensure that all of our plans were brought to life. The wedding day: Both Vanessa and Angela worked with us on our wedding day timeline and they had everything down to a tee! Our entire day went so seamless, and I got to be fully present in the moment. Reflecting on my wedding day, both Vanessa and Angela did so much to make everything perfect. For example, we had an espresso martini wall (Vanessa did amazing bringing this to life with our vendor) for the guests to find their table assignments, and after all of the martinis were drunk, Vanessa and Angela made sure the wall had candles and florals on it so it was beautiful for dancing. Everything was super thought out and truly made it an experience to never forget for our guests and us. Photos are Willow and Ben (Napa photographers)

She helped me get organized months prior to the wedding and always checked up on me and made sure there the things I needed to do were done. We loved that she met us up to start planning and creating excel sheets for our big day! She came to our important wedding appointments and she was just full on amazing! Her day of coordination was the most special to us. She made our day stress free! She literally had us! If you need a coordinator for a wedding, Marisa is your girl! This was the review my husband wrote on his Instagram: - I just want to shoutout all the vendors that helped turn our dream(really @crystaaalmarie's dream ) into a reality. @hamid_decor_ with THE BEST FLOWERS IN THE BAY AREA.

I first heard of Emily Tracy Events when I attended a friend's baby shower (and later another…read morefriend's birthday party) and was blown away with the detail, décor, and organization of these events, so it was an easy decision to hire Emily Tracy Events for our wedding. After my first meeting with Emily I felt a huge weight lifted off my shoulders confident that Emily would be able to execute the wedding of my dreams, and she did just that and more. Emily and her team are very professional, reliable, and deliver impeccable service. Emily always responded to my emails and phone calls within a day and made wedding planning a breeze. She offered in-person meetings and was always a phone call or text away whenever I had a question or wanted her ideas/input. Emily not only provided me with amazing décor and layout ideas for our wedding, but actually implemented them using her amazing skills and creativity. Emily always looked for the best deals when purchasing items needed which saved me precious research time. The day was absolutely perfect. From the organization and implementation of the timeline, working with multiple vendors, and executing my vision for our wedding, Emily did it all while maintaining an easy-going, professional, and positive attitude and never appeared overwhelmed or stressed. Emily was able to problem solve on the spot and made sure I was unaware of any challenges in the day. I would 110% recommend Emily Tracy Events for ANY event.

She was such a great partner throughout the entire planning process, taking all of our initial inspiration and turning it into something even better than we could have ever imagined. We were really blown away every time their work was unveiled. Our wedding had a wildflower theme, and she brought it to life in a way that felt completely magical, beautiful, and so creative. Everyone at our events was thoroughly impressed with how stunning everything looked, from the vibrant energy of the Sangeet to the gorgeous setup on the wedding day itself. Thank you so much to Ann for making our wedding events look so breathtaking and special!

I have known Rachael Cruz of Team Cruz Productions for nearly 14 years. In our local community,…read moreRachael has a remarkable reputation for pulling off the most impressive, thoughtful and fun events. It was without hesitation that I hired Rachael to be my partner in crime to plan my brother's wedding rehearsal dinner for 50 guests - which I was hosting. I wanted to be actively involved with the planning and execution - but with work and family, I also didn't want to be too stressed. Working with Rachael, I was able to strike the right balance. I hired Rachael for a set amount of hours for her expertise in creating a cohesive look and feel, as well as design and production of key pieces of collateral. LOCATION & CONTRACT I had already decided on the location and signed a contract with the restaurant for a private dining room before I hired Team Cruz Productions. Because Rachael has such deep experience with events in our area, she was very familiar with other events at the same venue. The truly impressive part is that Rachael successfully renegotiated my contract minimums, thereby saving me $500. The restaurant manager has only had complimentary comments about Rachael and told me that "she is very detailed and REALLY knows what she is doing." COLLABORATION Rachael and I worked together to pull off this event. We started by sharing a Pinterest board. She found themes from everything I pinned and narrowed down a color palette, centerpiece idea and general look & feel for the graphic design pieces. We went to the flower mart together and she showed me exactly what to buy to pull together the centerpieces I had envisioned (or, as Pinterest had envisioned for me!). DELIVERABLES A distinct skill that Rachael brings is graphic design. This really helps streamline the event planning process because it eliminates another vendor - and because she is working directly with you, her client - there is nothing to get lost in translation. Rachael custom designed the invitation, menu cards, name tags, favor bag and greeting poster for us. She handled all professional printing. Because I wanted to be involved in some of the work, I got out my glue gun and assembled the name tags. COMMUNICATION Rachael communicated with me constantly throughout the planning process. She knows that I get busy with work and family, so when we were up against deadlines, she would text me reminders. She also texted me on the day of the event and followed up the day after. She takes great interest in you and your event and her customer service shows that. I am already trying to come up with another reason to throw a party just so I can work with Rachael again!

She made sure to include BOTH kids in the planning and put together a truly spectacular event. The adults couldn't stop talking about what a great time they had, how beautiful it was and how well organized. Rachael made sure that all guests were taken care of at the party, no matter what their individual dietary needs. It was truly flawless and I was able to relax and enjoy myself without a care in the world. Before the party, Rachael put together gorgeous hotel welcome bags and her creativity is endless. She designed an amazing logo for the two kids that we were able to use on everything from the invitations to the centerpieces. She even figured out a way to get it onto the light fixtures in the ballroom, which was a lovely surprise for us when we arrived. She found the perfect centerpiece idea and helped us implement it. All the vendors she suggested were also wonderful to work with. If I was having a second mitzvah in my family, I would definitely hire Rachael again.

Where to start?! I cannot say enough good things about Asiel Design - they are amazing!…read moreI used them this past year for my company holiday party - we had wanted to create this immersive "dark" Alice in Wonderland/Steampunk style experience, and boy did they deliver! We met with Linnae and the team a number of times to go over what it is we wanted to achieve, and whilst we had a good idea of what it was going to end up like, nothing prepared us for what we actually walked in to the night of the event. It really was like walking in to a wonderland, and honestly, I didn't want to leave - this is coming from someone who in general does not willingly go to parties. Definitely do yourself a favor and hire these guys for your next event - it's 100% worth it! We loved them so much, we have already signed them up for this year's holiday party!!

For our first in-person meeting, we came prepared with slide decks with detailed inspirations on what we were hoping to execute. We appreciated Linnae's in-depth knowledge and her advice to help us stay within budget, while still staying true to overall aesthetic. On the day of the wedding, Jennifer and the rest of the team were so great to work with! There wasn't ever an uneasy feeling due to their constant communication with our coordinators. During the reveal, I couldn't help but to cry tears of joy because everything was SO BEAUTIFUL. What started out as just a vision and some inspo pics became something so beautiful that surpassed all of our expectations. We are so grateful for Linnae, Jennifer, and the rest of the team's hard work and we can't thank them enough!!!

She made…read morethe entire planning process feel seamless and was incredibly diligent in helping us create the best wedding day we could have imagined. Paige was also an excellent communicator, always super responsive, organized, and on top of every detail. We always felt like we knew exactly what was happening and that nothing was going to slip through the cracks. On the wedding day, she was a total pro (on top of being great vibes). She and her assistant had everything handled, kept us perfectly on schedule, and seemed to have an answer or solution for absolutely everything. We were able to actually enjoy the day because we knew Paige had everything under control. We also had multiple family and guests comment on how great Paige was. We truly could not have asked for a better planner and would recommend Paige Events without hesitation to anyone planning their wedding. 100/10 experience!!!!!

If you're looking for a wedding planner - your search is over. Hiring Paige was one of the best…read moredecisions of our entire wedding, and I promise you'll be impressed by her work too. We hired Paige about a year and a half before our wedding date, and we had absolutely no idea where to start. Throughout the entire process, Paige was patient with our questions, enthusiastic to help us achieve our goals and our outlandish ideas (whilst also helping us keep realistic on what was possible) and always went the extra mile to ensure the process was as smooth as possible for us. Paige managed all of the vendor communications for us, which was a massive help whilst we juggled our full-time jobs and other commitments. Reflecting on the experience now, there is no way we could have found our vendors (who were absolutely phenomenal and largely sourced and recommended by Paige's expertise) and managed the communication with them half as well as she did for us. She kept the entire wedding planning progressing, helped us work through difficult challenges as they arose, and became our number one confidant and trusted friend throughout the process. On the wedding day itself, Paige was incredible. She was like a blur being everywhere at once, making sure guests, vendors and ourselves were properly cared for throughout the day (she brought us food and drinks, learned how to weave our table decorations (literally because I saw it on Pinterest), fluffed my train... she literally did it all!!). There was absolutely nothing we had to worry about or "sort" on the day as her team had everything completely in hand. She was incredibly professional and continued to go above and beyond for us, and we never once saw her without a beaming smile. It's clear that Paige loves her job, and she invests every ounce of passion into ensuring her clients weddings are world class. Paige is the most down-to-earth, bubbly and supportive wedding planners we could have ever have hoped for. I am SO grateful for all of the wisdom, time and passion and patience she shared with us. I'm sure there's hundreds of more testimonies just like ours, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone. If we ever planned our wedding again, she would be a non-negotiable part of our day
