I have seen many brides stress over little things and be panicked on their special day but I was stress free the entire time thanks to this AMAZING wedding planner. We kept in constant contact for a year and she provides to do list that were well organized and user friendly. She works with your budget and she advocates on your behalf with venders. My actual wedding day ran so smooth and I honestly believe thanks to her it was the happiest day of my life. BOOK HER! I 100% recommend!

I was a bridesmaid in my best friends wedding party last month. Her wedding was in Southern…read moreCalifornia and it was breathtaking. Gatherings by Elle went above and beyond to ensure the bride and groom, as well as all family and friends, felt special, comfortable and most importantly happy! The wedding was absolutely STUNNING! From the floral arrangements, to the centerpieces, down to the escort cards, everything was spectacular. From the second we walked into the ceremony to the very last moments of the reception, my fiancé and I were completey blown away. And made a lot of mental notes for our own wedding! The entire event was seamless and everything was on time. Not to mention the staff was incredible. We will absolutely be reaching out to Gatherings by Elle for our own wedding! And I cannot wait!!

Tricia Dahlgren Events is truly amazing. I wholeheartedly recommend them for your wedding day or…read moreany special event. I recently got married at Hart and Main, and the team Tricia provided--especially Tiffany and Karlie--were nothing short of phenomenal. These two are incredibly talented and hardworking. They didn't just "work" the event--they owned it with grace, professionalism, and care. What truly made our wedding day seamless was their ability to anticipate every need before we even realized it ourselves. Our wedding took place during an intense heatwave, and Tiffany and Karlie went above and beyond to make sure my husband and I were comfortable and cared for the entire day. From keeping us hydrated to bringing us drinks and appetizers in our bridal suite right after the ceremony--including our custom his-and-hers cocktails--they truly thought of everything. They also handled every single detail I brought to the venue--from bar signs and napkins to dinnerware and décor. I didn't have to lift a finger. They took my vision and brought it to life with care and precision, setting everything up exactly how I had imagined. They even double-checked with me on the little things to make sure everything was just right, and it absolutely was. There was a moment when the heat really started to overwhelm me, and I honestly think I would've had a meltdown if it weren't for their calm, thoughtful presence. Because of them, I was able to relax, stay present, and truly enjoy every moment of the day. If you're considering hiring Tricia Dahlgren Events, don't hesitate. Their dedication, eye for detail, and incredible support will elevate your event in every possible way.

Working with Tricia and her team was a truly wonderful experience. She's organized, thoughtful, and…read morealways a step ahead -- making everything smooth for us as a vendor and, more importantly, for the couple. We'd happily work with her again anytime! -- Patrick, Pure Joy Catering

I got married 3 weeks ago at William S. Hart Park in Santa Clarita and Dianne and her team were a…read moreLIFESAVER!!! From our first meeting she had lists and charts and a folder of amazing things! We only needed her for Day of Coordination but she was hands on all the way up to the day. She didn't ask me a zillion questions, she didn't pester me in any way - I just gave her all my info and away she went! And then the day of the Rehearsal came and she was incredible! We had rented the Ramona Chapel at Hart Park - HOWEVER - the historical society MASSIVELY messed up and the day before our wedding had cordoned off the chapel with yellow tape, taken the steeple off, and surrounded the building with scaffolding! But Dianne handled it with so much class - she continued the rehearsal, and kept me calm (I can't say the same for my Fiance). She gathered all of my decor from me - and even though I barely had time to explain anything (though it was all labeled) and it was scattered all over the place after we were evacuated due to the Fires in the area a few days before - she never needed any explanation and somehow it was PERFECT! The day of the wedding they covered the chapel and tape in beautiful tulle and decoration - you didn't even notice the building. She only ever asked me if she could move one thing - otherwise I just trusted her and I am so glad I did. As a manager in my day to day life - it is hard for me to let go. But Dianne made me stress free literally the entire day by thinking outside the box and being creative - despite wind, scaffolding, etc... Because of Dianne and the team - I enjoyed every second of the day and my only issue was my feet and face hurt from dancing and smiling all night. THANK YOU DIANNE!!!!! YOU'RE AMAZING!!!!

OMG! If you think hiring a party planner is too expensive or unnecessary for a smaller event--think…read moreagain. Dianne is absolutely exceptional and takes all the worry and stress out of planning. I had never met her before and only found her company on Yelp, but after working with her, I don't think I'll ever plan another party without her. She sourced fantastic vendors and stayed with us throughout the entire event, making sure every detail went smoothly. And keep in mind--this was on November 15th, the Saturday it poured all day--yet it was still the best party I've ever thrown. Give her a chance. You won't regret it.

Eric was recommended to us by our day of wedding coordinator. We went with him because we liked…read morethe fact that we could customize everything about our wedding ceremony and that he had tons of experience officiating weddings. The process to design our ceremony was easy because we just had to pick and choose the different aspects from a given list but also we were able to customize it to make it about us and our relationship. Eric was super helpful and answered all our questions in a timely manner. He presented the ceremony in a wonderful manner and we would recommend him to anyone who is getting married in the future.

He was always on time and his gentle, collaborative nature always put my wife and I at ease when we talked! His energy is contagious! Even on the day of, when he walked up to our venue's doors, he seriously calmed my nerves! He even gave my wife and I some tips while we were... y'know, up there getting married! What I loved about Officiant Eric was the ability to customize our ceremony! It was perfect for us as we didn't really want to have a religious ceremony and we wanted to customize it to our liking. Officiant Eric was encouraging, super helpful, and was open to being available for a FaceTime chat. Officiant Eric was amazing (and *efficient* might I add hehe), and his personality always brought comfort to this bride and groom!! Thank you so much!

My husband and I were not planning on hiring a wedding planner due to our budget, but because our…read morevenue required day of coordinator, we started looking for one. I chose to go with Eight and Rose because the pricing was fair compared to other companies and it was within our budget. We're so glad that we did because Lisa was AMAZING! She's sweet, professional, detail oriented, and so easy to work with. She went above and beyond what I thought a day-of-coordinator would be doing for us. She was a tremendous help with every single part of our wedding. Everything from dealing with the vendors and managing the timeline to helping decorating our centerpiece and wedding cake. She even took photos of us, which was so nice of her to take the time to do! At the end of the night, we had minimal cleaning because Lisa did most of it for us. I don't know what I would have done without her! Even our guests were praising her to me on how great of a job she was doing! Our wedding was seamless thanks to Lisa! Thank you so much Lisa! Hire Eight & Rose as your wedding coordinator! You will not regret it!

If you don't read my long review below, just stop what you're doing and hire Lisa Wu of Eight &…read moreRose right away! Her services were above and beyond anything we could have hoped for. She was so professional and responsive whether it was texting, calling, or email. I live in NYC and was planning a Southern California wedding. She was always available to meet whenever I'd fly into LA, even at the earliest hours of the morning. I initially sought out Lisa because of her fair pricing, but I'd easily pay double for the coordination she provided. From the minute we had an initial phone call, I could tell she was Type A, which is exactly what you need in a coordinator. My gut told me she was perfect for our wedding, and indeed she was! Wedding Lead Up: We had one initial face to face with Lisa where she got to know our needs and our vision. She provided us with super helpful google docs to keep track of decor, guest list, timeline, vendors, etc. As the months of planning progressed, she was CCd on every email with every vendor, and would follow up where necessary. As a type A person myself, I never thought I'd really need my coordinator to do much, but Lisa would always beat me to the punch with following up for missing information or details our venue and vendors had missed. Walk-through: Lisa did a walk-through with us and our venue's coordinator, where she ironed out all of the details of the floor plan and decor, and remembered to ask for things like a full length mirror in our conference room we had to do hair/makeup. Rehearsal: Lisa was great about telling everyone where to go, how to walk properly, and taking pictures for us so we could rearrange people if we needed to. Our bridesmaid was running late but she was able to coordinate with Lisa to find where we were and make it on time. We felt very at ease and ready for the wedding after the rehearsal. Wedding!!!: Lisa and her assistant were wonderful with setting up all of our decor exactly how and where we wanted it, and believe me we had a lot of it! Lisa had the perfect balance of being invisible but also available right when we needed her. She was there to give me a bandaid when my feet blistered, help my grandma with her corsage, and track down random vendors when we needed them, but also stayed behind the scenes a lot. Everyone says a coordinator is there not for if something happens but when something happens. Well, we know of no such happenings because any mishaps were handled 100% by Lisa as we were enjoying ourselves. She had a great balance of keeping us on schedule while still asking if we wanted 5 or 10 more minutes of mingling with friends. At the end of the night she packed up all of our gifts and decor for us, and we didn't have to worry about a thing. The day after our wedding she even sent us tons of pictures and boomerangs she had taken of behind the scenes moments. These are so special to us, and we'll savor them as we wait patiently for our professional photos. Can't recommend Eight & Rose enough!

Orange Blossom came recommended from a friend who was recommended from someone else, and all of…read morethem had A+ experiences. But where do we even begin with Brin!! The quick review: highly recommend because of Brin. Our wedding could not have turned out the way it did without her. And our experience planning, as well as our experience on the day of, could not have been what it was without her. We love you Brin! The long review: it's hard to find someone to trust for such a huge day, but we absolutely made the right decision with OBSE. Specifically Brin. Right from the start her vibe and personality meshed well with us. She and OBSE were also accommodating in adjusting our pricing based on what we needed and didn't need (for example, we already landed on a venue and caterer, so wouldn't need help with that). Brin was super organized and we were provided with timelines and checklists- as someone who needs this in my everyday life, this was extremely helpful. It was easy to get in touch with Brin and she did all the heavy lifting reaching out and sourcing vendors for us. We also regularly did meetings as needed. Leading up 2-3months out from the wedding day, I was procrastinating rather horribly and Brin was SO patient but also SO helpful on checking in and keeping us on track with what needed to be done. And then when the wedding was around the corner, she put together very detailed timelines for the day and for the wedding party, she organized the entire processional seamlessly, guided rehearsal day perfectly, coordinated with all our vendors (I know perfectly because I think we barely even saw or heard anything related to that), and set everything up exactly as envisioned the day of. I woke up without a worry that day and Brin kept it worry free all the way through! She had an amazing emergency box prepped for the wedding party, kept things on schedule, packed up our personal items/gifts and placed it in our shuttle home after, and handled wrapping up and cleaning up with our other vendors. We truly did not have to think and could just enjoy our day! She even did a post mortem with us, which I really appreciated. Brin is the best!

We had already done all the footwork, booked vendors, had the timeline done and sent to vendors, planned, etc.... EVERYTHING was done! We were trying so hard to find a place that understood the situation and that we didn't need an over all planner/coordinator but a day-of coordinator. 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!
