Consequently, she was a corporate client before being an events company which is invaluable experience. Christy's company is the only event company that can serve my clients in multiple cities: The Red Carpet Events has offices in NY and also serves Silicon Valley. From these two locations, Christy's staff serves customers in cities on both coasts. Many of the corporate events she has done for Finance and Tech companies are spectacular and creative (private jets etc...). However, she also organized many smaller scale events for medium sized businesses. My experience with events is that there is no room for error. One bad event can cost you a customer and your reputation. With Christy's company I don't worry about a bad experience. On the contrary, I know my clients will be happy and that's priceless. I recommend The Red Carpet Events without any hesitation.

There are SO many details that go into a wedding, but she kept us on track and I put my full trust in her to have everything handled. Having gone through the wedding planning process - there's no need to be stressed about the day. Do yourself a favor and hire this team of amazing planners so you & your partner can focus on what's most important - enjoying your wedding!

Do yourself a favor and book Stacey & Company immediately. I was fortunate enough to work with…read moreStacey and her team of magicians for a large Bat Mitzvah this past weekend. She not only transformed the entire space into Alice's wonderland, but she also made a little girl's dreams come true. But let's be honest--that girl may as well have been me because last Saturday I was wishing I was 13 years old again (probably for the first time in my life). Stacey's professionalism is only matched by her easy demeanor and warm smile. PLUS, she's wicked talented when it comes to personalized designs. Book Stacey & Company and save yourself any disappointment. Every event is a wonderland of possibilities and a chance to fall down a rabbit hole of enchantment.

She promised to send the contract and I was ready to pay the retainer. 4+ weeks later I've sent her a handful of emails about the contract, retainer, and to confirm our Zoom meeting and have gotten zero response to 5+ emails. She's totally ghosted me! She should have an assistant or at the very least use AI tools to respond, send the contract, or simply decline working with me. I've now lost over 6 weeks and have to go find and hire a new event planner. It's extremely unprofessional behavior and also quite rude. Who doesn't respond to 4+ emails from a client for their business?!

The resort is beautiful and would highly recommend it as a wedding venue. It seems like they had more vendors too or maybe it was just a larger space to spread vendors. I was able to stop at all the booths and experience what they had to offer. There was no line for the photo booth and there were a few cake tastings booths that were so delicious! I still wish they had "real" food though! The only con is that the fashion show takes place right in the middle on the carpet so if you're trying to get around during the fashion show, it's very hard and crowded because everyone's standing around and not moving and there are "workers" blocking it off so you don't want into the "carpet runway." Other than that, it seemed well organized, way better than the SF show last month!

She does offer a list of vendors, but if you are seeking more customized event planning, you will have to do a little more research on your own. Her florist, Michelle is great and her baker, Ora-Beth is terrific, but her tuxedo recommendation was sub-par. We selected our own photographer, videographer, make-up professionals and hairstylists.

Who can you rely on for help? We experienced all of these thoughts and feelings when we started to plan our own wedding. To add to our complexity, it was a destination wedding on the other side of the country. We knew we had to hire a wedding planner and there was no shortage of options in the Napa and Sonoma valley. We had a few calls with different planners, yet the minute we hung up the phone with Sharon Burns of Napa Valley Custom Events, we knew it was a done deal. We called her back within minutes and basically proposed to her to be our planner! It was a decision that felt so right; it proved to be the best decision of our entire wedding planning process. Sharon's experience, expertise and outstanding reviews all speak for themselves. She knows the business. She knows all the right people. She is well respected in the California wine region. She demands excellence from all those she works with. She has the ability to know when to fully support your wants and desires, while also adding in a dose of reality to your wedding dreams. As a gay couple, one may think we posses a level of expertise on design, flowers and fashion. Sharon quickly found out this was far from reality. She filled in all of the spots where we were "weak" and supported or molded all the thoughts and wants we had in areas that were our non-negotiables. She helped us build, manage and stick to our budget throughout the 13 months we worked together leading to our wedding day. She maintained our vendor contracts, worked hard in negotiating hotel wedding blocks and even managed most payments throughout the whole process. So many of the stresses and mundane tasks of wedding planning and execution weren't even on our radar as Sharon took care of them all. We were already floored by all of her work done leading up to our wedding; then THE DAY came. Sharon delivered even more then we could have imagined! She was at our venue for well over 13 hours preparing, organizing, leading and even calming us throughout the event. We worried about nothing and got to enjoy everything. She ensured our whole wedding party was in place when they needed to be, our families were calm and relaxed, and, of course, that we were both smiling and enjoying every aspect of our day. Sharon even made sure that we were eating and staying hydrated throughout the most memorable day of our lives. The day was simply perfect! So much of that joy has to do with Sharon Burns and Napa Valley Custom Events. We cannot speak highly enough about her; words do not do justice to the thanks she deserves. Thank you Sharon, you knocked it out of the park!
