Where to start!?…read more Well, first of all, this review is far overdue. I had the most beautiful wedding on December 28, 2019. I hired Stephanie and A Daydream Wedding about three months prior to my wedding date. Initially, I thought I would be able to organize the perfect wedding all on my own. I quickly learned that I am not cut out for that and I would need some assistance. I was worried that it was too close to the wedding to hire a planner, at that point. But, I went ahead and emailed ADW and Stephanie PROMPTLY replied to my inquiry. I was communicating with a couple of planners simultaneously so figure out who I felt would be the best match and Stephanie stood out among the rest EXPONENTIALLY! She was so comfortable and easy to talk to right off the bat. She was quick with her responses, and I really felt that it was important to Stephanie to get to know ME and what my personal preferences were. Throughout the entire process, I felt like the services were tailored to me, and I wasn't being served based on some generic template. Everything about Stephanie's services felt so personalized. Let me also mention that I am in remission from leukemia, and I had recently had a bone marrow transplant. So my energy is quite low and my memory is nowhere near "good." Stephanie was so patient with me throughout our time together. She was kind in reminding me of dates and keeping me on track with scheduling, which is SO helpful for someone like me. It was important for me to work with someone understanding and patient, and I found that in Stephanie. Stephanie constantly reassured me that we would be able to work with the time given and she worked extremely hard to find me the best vendors that fit my specific needs and most importantly - BUDGET! Throughout the course of our work together, Stephanie would keep her eye out for decor, desserts, vendors, bridesmaids dresses etc. that would be of interest to me and would text / email suggestions regularly. Even if you have no idea where to start (with anything), Stephanie has a full arsenal of beauticians, DJ's (SHOUT OUT TO DJ BERNIE!), photographers, bakeries, decor rentals... the list goes on! She is well equipped and a true professional in her craft. The day of the wedding, Stephanie was sure to make sure I was thoroughly taken care of. She checked on me throughout the day to ensure all my needs were tended to, she picked up on queues (for instance, she noticed the guests were hounding the head table and had the DJ make a little announcement so my new husband and I could sit to enjoy dinner), and she kept everyone and everything on schedule to the minute! I feel like I can't rave about Stephanie enough. But, hopefully these pictures will help give a clear picture of her hard work and dedication to wedding planning. If you have a dream to create the perfect wedding, whether it be modern, romantic, boho, etc., Stephanie is going to be your secret weapon. I cannot recommend her enough!

From beginning to end, she was very responsive, great attention to detail, easy to work with and super fast response time (huge plus in this industry)! I truly appreciate a planner that makes you feel like your working with them, not FOR them, as team work is truly what counts in this business. I would strongly recommend her to any brides that need that special someone to make it all come together. Having someone with experience that is easy to work with, and fabulous at what she does is priceless! Thanks again Stephanie, Until next time!

We also used dragonfly rentals for all our chairs, chargers, candles, etc. and they were seamless to work with. They completed our vision perfectly. Thank you to the whole dragonfly team!

Our experience with Heavenly Harvest Farm after our wedding has left me heartbroken. Our wedding…read moreday itself was absolutely beautiful, but the aftermath has completely changed how I feel about this place. After the event, our wedding coordinator -- who had been so involved before -- completely ghosted us. We had discussed a potential job opportunity with the venue because Sandy was so impressed with my organization skills at our wedding -- she promised to connect with me after the new year. We received our final edit of our wedding video and were eager to share it with Sandy because she had played such a huge role in making our big day become a reality. Messages were left unanswered. Genuinely concerned, we called. Sandy had surgery right before our wedding so we thought maybe something more serious had happened. No answer. No explanation, just silence. We felt we had built an incredible friendship and deep trust with Sandy and Ralph. They made us feel supported, cared for, and genuinely excited about our day. Unfortunately, once the wedding was over, that connection disappeared. The warmth and attentiveness we'd once received were gone. What hurts the most is that we were told we could come back to visit the venue on our anniversaries -- something we were really looking forward to as a tradition. We were also told we could come out every year to help them pick mulberries from their tree for jam. We had visited the venue before our wedding and made jam from the mulberry tree we were getting married under as our wedding favors. This was something our whole family was looking forward to. My good friend called the venue to get a quote for an event and they never returned her call. It's incredibly disappointing that a place that once felt so special has left us feeling dismissed and disrespected. I hope the owners take this feedback to heart, because couples deserve better care, communication, and respect for their memories.

It was well decorated for Christmas and was cozy in a remodeled barn. Despite a rainy evening, our dinner was isolated from the weather. It was joyous and memory filled. We had the best Christmas dinner that evening. The food was very good, and we were allowed to bring our own wine. We were accommodated with a golf cart (and driver) to take us back-and-forth to different parts of the property. The owners, Sandy and Ralph, are off-the-hook hosts. Very, very personable and make your event special. The serving staff, Madison and Jason, were very sweet and anticipated our needs. Heavenly Harvest is a wonderful venue for ALL occasions located in a country setting.

I'm sorry but as much as I've tried to get past this it will always haunt me…read more Sandy was hired by my mother for my wedding August 2, 2025. I wish I could give a better rating but I just can't, had she not taken a back seat approach I would have. I'm sure Sandy will leave something to contradict everything I have written but honestly I just wish she would have been way more professional and not let her feelings affect my big day. I am usually a high rater when I do reviews and most of my other reviews reflect that. I've written many over the years so if I'm writing a review, there's a reason. I'm not going to sit here and draw out a big list so message me if you'd like the 411. The ceremony was pretty good other than the guests being out in the hot sun for 20 minutes , I'll give her that. As for the reception , i didn't know is the videographer didn't have the video montage that all our parents were working with him on and Sandy didn't want my mom to fix it. Sandy was in a bad mood due to this and was pouting and my husband, my mother and I paid the price. She is still upset about things, understandably so. The reception started out good until sunset/golden hour photos. I was given zero instruction for this, there was no communication whatsoever and there should have been. When it was running longer for whatever reason my mom wanted to wrap up the photos yet Sandy said no. Sandy repeatedly didn't listen to my mother even though she paid her and even tipped her at the end. I will admit initially our response was everything was fine but after we sat with it, it just wasn't. Bottom line- time taking photo after photo could have been cut short and I could have gotten to mingle with my guests. Some of them flew from far away to make it to our wedding. I'll never get that back and that saddens me most. I've been told by guests that while they had a decent time, they wish they got to spend time with us. Most did not get any time with us. Edited to add: communication, and delivery should have been better, all of it was severely lacking. Both my husband and I have tried to contact Sandy about our concerns. Not once did she really listen. I wish she would have been professional but she just was not. This is the honest truth of how things turned out. She also trashed my mother and my maid of honor online and would not take down her post until my mom told her that my friend has a disability Why am I writing this now? I'd written something like this a while back ago but decided to take it down, but now I think that some time has passed I can write a version that reads better. So my advice: proceed with caution. There a reason she only has 12 reviews.

Going into the process, we had no idea what we didn't know. Things like vendors, day of logistics, even how our wedding parties would organize themselves on our wedding day was a mystery to us and having Sandy in our corner helped us in a million ways. Her connections in the wedding industry helped us narrow down and select vendors with ease. She secured us a last minute photo booth which ended being a huge highlight of our night. It even rained on our wedding day, right before our outdoor ceremony, but Sandy was on top of everything and organized guests to help dry and reset our venue behind the scenes. Our wedding was amazing and we owe so much of that to Sandy. I dont make many yelp reviews but our experience with Strings & Champagne Events was so positive that I had to log in and recommend this to anyone looking to host an event in the NorCal area. Thanks again Sandy, you helped us create so many memories that will last a lifetime.

Elaina!!! I cannot say enough good things about her. She was the reason our wedding came together…read moreperfectly, why my vision came to life beautifully, why I felt confident going into the wedding day knowing she had everything handled. Etc etc!! We hired her as our day-of coordinator and she met with us over the two months leading up to the wedding. She put in so much time and effort, countless text threads, many Zooms, calls with all our vendors so I wouldnt have to do those, and more. She asked about all the details I'd never have thought of to make sure every aspect of the day was covered. She was there for me when I was stressed and offered me many thoughtful solutions and just a listening ear - she knows what stressed out brides need and she knows how to calm them down. On the actual day of, she and her assistant were so on top of things - executing the timing of everything flawlessly, working tirelessly literally all day long. They set up my table decor and everything so beautifully, it was literally my Pinterest come to life! At the end of the night they packed everything (and there was a LOT of stuff) back up, packed the rentals to be picked up by the company, which included bagging 90 chairs individually, and did a lot in near darkness apparently (sorry!!). Basically, she went above and beyond her day-of coordination duties and we are so so so grateful for everything she did. We love you Elaina and appreciate you so much!!!

As the wedding date approached, they became even more involved in every detail, guiding us step by step through the entire process. They worked with us down to the wire with anything from last minute guest updates, to fine tuning details on site, and even stayed until the very end of the night to ensure everything was packed up and we took home all of our personal belongings. Each time we visited the reception venue and met with the on-site coordinators, the team at The Perfect Plan Weddings was right there with us. They listened carefully, offered thoughtful ideas, and reassured us that we were heading in the right direction. Their experience in planning weddings brought clarity and confidence to every decision. We frequently communicated via Zoom, phone calls, emails, and texts messages from the moment we met Shea, Jack, and Paige, all the way up to the wedding itself. They were always available and responsive. They continually shared their expertise throughout planning, making what could have been a stressful time feel organized and manageable. On the wedding day, The Perfect Plan Weddings team was absolutely unbelievable! From coordinating the day of timeline, communicating with our vendors, to managing the flow during the wedding and overseeing the venue details, they handled it all seamlessly. Their attention to detail and calm professionalism allowed us to truly enjoy our day without worrying about a thing. I can't overstate how invaluable they were, especially on the wedding day itself. Plus, unlike most wedding planners, there are three of them. In essence, they could be in three places at once! If you're planning a wedding, reach out to them; you will be amazed! We could not be more thrilled with the outcome. Shea, Jack, and Paige, thank you so much for making our wedding so memorable!

At first I didn't think we needed a wedding planner but what a difference it made so we could enjoy the day without worries! I honestly don't think I could've done it without them.

And the best part is after the ceremony they helped take down the linens, candles, flowers etc and packed my car so I could go home and relax after a long day. Paige and team are on top of everything!! Best team in the area hands down!!!
