We had a wonderful experience working with Menage a Trois SJ for our wedding. Sushie was our full-service wedding planner, and her expertise, along with her strong network of local vendor connections, made the entire process feel easy and seamless. She was incredibly helpful throughout and always candid with her advice, which we really appreciated. Her honesty and genuine concern made us feel confident that we were making the right decisions to bring our vision to life. What stood out most was her dedication -- even when she wasn't feeling well, she made sure we were fully taken care of and that everything stayed on track. On the day of the wedding, Jessica and Vanessa from her team were also so sweet and wonderful to work with. They made everything run smoothly and helped us truly enjoy the day without stress. The entire team was attentive, supportive, and a pleasure to work with from start to finish. We're so grateful for their help in making our wedding exactly what we imagined. Highly recommend! read more

We're so happy we chose Sushie (Ménage à Trois SJ) as our wedding coordinator! She was incredibly responsive to emails and texts, always providing expert guidance and recommendations whenever we had questions. Our Zoom check-ins were consistently productive, leaving us feeling prepared and clear on what we needed to prioritize and what could wait until later in our timeline. She was also very helpful in giving advice on how to execute our personalized ideas to ensure they turned out well. She is extremely organized and gave us such peace of mind leading up to the big day, especially by coordinating exactly what we needed to bring versus what her team would handle. It was also a huge help that she had a variety of decor items we could borrow, like card boxes, frames, and easels, which saved us from having to buy them ourselves. She had worked with most of our vendors before and ensured that everyone was on the same page via email leading up to the day. On the wedding day, Sushie and her team checked in with us regularly to make sure we had everything we needed. We are so glad we chose her for her expertise and her can-do attitude! read more

Sushie and Holly, her assistant, were fantastic. If you're reading this and are on the fence about getting a wedding coordinator because it's an extra expense in the wedding budget, I recommend you still do it. You can trust that Sushie and her team will make your wedding day how you'd like, keep you relaxed and stress-free (as possible), and be the extra pair of eyes you didn't know you needed. When I first met Sushie, I was only going to request day-of services. Then after talking with her, I was like, I need you to do everything for me that I haven't yet done. lol My wedding was at Hakone Gardens in Saratoga. She has a relationship with the venue and partnerships with other vendors, which was a huge perk! I was able to get a bit of special pricing with a few of the vendors. Yay! Thank you! Honestly, I would've called off the wedding if it weren't for Sushie because I was just simply overwhelmed with everything related to wedding planning and I wanted to give up. Lol. She kept me focused on tasks and deadlines, was super fun to work with, and made my wedding exactly the way I wanted - simple, elegant, and chill. read more

Sushie and her team were absolutely incredible throughout our entire wedding planning process. From the very beginning, she was organized, responsive, thoughtful, and always one step ahead. She answered every question I had over the months of planning and constantly thought of details I would have completely overlooked on my own. No matter how small the concern or question was, she was always there to help and made the entire process feel so much less stressful. One of the best things about working with Sushie was her amazing network of trusted vendors. Every vendor she recommended was professional, talented, reliable, and truly wonderful to work with. It made such a huge difference knowing we could fully trust the people she connected us with, and everything came together beautifully because of it. On the wedding day itself, everything went so smoothly and seamlessly thanks to her and her team. Every transition, every detail, and every timeline cue was handled so effortlessly behind the scenes that we were actually able to be fully present and enjoy our wedding day. We never had to worry about what was happening next because Sushie had everything completely under control. So many of our guests complimented how smooth, organized, and well-run the entire event was, and multiple people told us it was one of the most seamless weddings they had attended. Sushie genuinely cares about her clients and puts so much heart into what she does. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and ability to make everything flow perfectly made our wedding day better than we could have imagined. We are so grateful for all of her hard work and truly could not have done it without her and her amazing team. read more

Hiring Sushie was hands-down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. She was incredibly efficient, quick to respond, and genuinely funny, which made the entire process feel lighter and way less stressful. She helped us save money without sacrificing quality, always offering smart, reasonable solutions and alternatives. When we decided to pivot from a 100-guest wedding to an intimate 8-guest ceremony, she handled the transition seamlessly and never made it feel overwhelming or like a "downgrade." In fact, she helped make it feel intentional and special. I struggled with serious decision paralysis, and she guided me through every choice with patience and clarity, especially when it came to florals and design. She helped select florals that fit our vision and budget perfectly, designed our invitations, and ensured every detail was cohesive. On the day of the wedding, everything was completely ready to go. I didn't have to think about a single logistical detail. She even came to the ceremony to support us, even though she didn't have to, which meant more than she probably knows. Professional, creative, calm under pressure, and truly invested. I cannot recommend her enough. read more

Our experience with Sushie and the Menage a Trois team was exemplary! Their support with the planning of events, run of show, inventory lists, vendors, as well as decor was extremely helpful for our special day. She had running lists of to dos for us to knock out ad the day got closer which was great for us to manage. Additionally she accompanied us on our venue walk through and answered all our questions. For our tea ceremony, she even let us borrow her decor! She had a great list of vendors for chair rentals and DJs which we utilized. We especially liked how easy it was to communicate with her through texting (she replies so fast), and how she was extremely generous with her time and resources without upcharging us for things. On the day of, Sushie coordinated the ceremony, dinner, and dances with immense enthusiasm. Her assistant even helped with bustling the dress (which was very finicky)!She truly was the first one there and last one out, taking care of everything and making sure we had nothing to worry about. She and her team truly made our wedding day very very special! We cannot recommend Sushie and her team enough! read more

It's been a year since we got married, and re-watching our wedding video brought back all the amazing memories. None of it would've been possible without Sushie and her team. From start to finish, she made us feel like absolute celebrities and made sure we were taken care of every step of the way. She even helped us with our fine details of our traditional Vietnamese tea ceremony. I still remember her telling us, "The day's gonna fly by, so soak it all in", and she was right! But thanks to her, we really got to enjoy every moment. Any hiccups that happened throughout the day, Sushie and her team was there to fix it making the day go by smoothly without us even realizing.

Sushie and her team are fantastic and we highly recommend them. Here are some examples of Sushie being awesome: - A month after we began planning our decor, I had an epiphany and did a 180 on what the space should look like. Sushie quickly pivoted and helped us redesign the entire vibe and we loved how it all came together - The week of the wedding, I suddenly decided that we needed cutouts of our faces (and our cat) for the wedding booth. Sushie was able to make this happen last minute and it was such a hit! - When we ran the crazy idea of flying a DJ from out of state by Sushie, she assured us that it was doable and then coordinate equipment rentals between our DJ and the equipment DJ to make sure everything would go smoothly - After floating a "photo wall" idea by Sushie, I got too overwhelmed by work and told her to forget it because I didn't have time to find photos. Sushie coordinated with my husband to surprise me on the day of and it was so sweet For more info, I started a new job around the time we started seriously wedding planning so Sushie was absolutely essential. We interviewed multiple planners, but decided to go with Sushie because she was opinionated and we got the vibe that she would helped us make good decisions. To be honest, there were were a few times when we were unsure about Sushie's recommendations, but now looking back, the small regrets we have about the wedding day were things where we didn't listen to Sushie. In conclusion: work with Sushie for your wedding and you will not regret it! read more

Sushie is absolutely amazing. Our wedding was prettier than any Pinterest picture. She understood our vision and ran with it. She made our wedding absolutely magical. I joked that I wish I had a Sushie for every day life because she anticipates what you need help with and just does it. And? She does it to the quality that I would or sometimes even better. When we first met with Sushie, we said we wanted to feel like guests at our wedding. We did! We both thoroughly enjoyed the day and night. Aime (her assistant) is equally amazing. They made us feel taken care of and just allowed us to enjoy our guests and party. Also, ALL of the vendors LOVE Sushie and love working with her. They throw in extras and go above and beyond for her. We already miss working with Sushie so much that we're thinking of parties we could throw to use her services again (I'm not making that up!). read more

Sushie was the best wedding coordinator that we could have every imagined!! We wanted to do a Japanese-style wedding and she had great contacts with venues and vendors so it was a perfect fit. Her past working relationship with these vendors really helped us in some tight spots as well, a real testament to her ability. All thanks to her & her team's support, we were able to pull off the best wedding we could have every imagined from the beginning planning stages to the final goodbyes. Any other couples looking to host a wedding, especially at Hakone Gardens, we would highly highly recommend Sushie as the planner! read more

One of the best decisions we made during our wedding planning was hiring Sushie to be our wedding coordinator. I greatly appreciated that she was responsive to any questions that came up here and there, even when we were still months away from the big day. She's super approachable, funny, and real! She's also very organized, even for someone like myself who has high standards around that. After each check in we'd have with Sushie, we'd come out not only less stressed but with a clear understanding of what our next steps were to get closer to the finish line. I owe much of the success of the big day to Sushie's industry knowledge, attention to detail, and problem solving. For example, we did BYOB at our venue and the external alcohol provider hadn't delivered when they were supposed to. Sushie handled it quickly with some phone calls to make sure the order was delivered to the venue, and our open bar was able to be set up on time. Just one example of the many ways Sushie came through for us. Thank you so much Sushie! read more

Believe me, you will want a wedding planner. Sushie and her team stand far above the rest in every measurable way. You'll be so thankful you booked the legendary Menage A Trois San Jose. --- Communication Sushie and her team are phenomenal communicators. Most planners get back to you within a day or two -- Sushie replies within hours, often minutes, sometimes even seconds! When my wife or I messaged her, we'd see the typing bubbles instantly. On multiple occasions, she not only responded fast but already had the answers we needed. The longest she's ever taken to reply was just a few hours -- and that was when she was on vacation! --- Resources Like many planners, Sushie has amazing vendor and venue connections, but what truly sets her apart is how beloved she is by them. More than once, vendors told us she's their #1 choice to work with. That speaks volumes about her professionalism, integrity, and ability to make every collaboration seamless. True story: a venue we were considering already had Sushie as their preferred planner. Once they knew we were booking through her, they became far more accommodating. I even got my favorite beer -- which wasn't on their menu -- added to the list thanks to some Sushie magic! --- Vision Sushie has an incredible eye for beauty and detail. There were times my wife and I couldn't visualize what she was describing, but when the day came, we were absolutely blown away. The décor was stunning -- photos don't do it justice! Sushie knows what she's doing. Don't question her vision -- trust her process. She's planned a surprise prom-themed birthday, a proposal, an engagement party, and our wedding. Every single one was executed beautifully. Her ability to transform a space into a work of art while keeping your vision intact is unmatched. --- Organization This might be the best part about working with Sushie. She handled all the heavy lifting. We just made payments on time and showed up to meetings. Vendor questions? Directed to her. Stress? None. She kept us on track, on budget, and always knew what came next. When a last-minute issue came up (our welcome sign had to be reprinted four times!), we didn't even know until after the wedding -- because she handled it all behind the scenes. My wife and I kept asking, "Why aren't we stressed?" Everyone warned us wedding planning would be chaotic, but with Sushie it was calm, organized, and enjoyable. Our only stress was seating arrangements! Everything else was smooth and handled. Even when we changed our minds last minute, she adapted quickly and made it happen. We actually enjoyed wedding planning -- something few couples can say. --- Execution The wedding day was flawless. If anything went wrong, we never knew. The décor was breathtaking, and seeing it all come together left us speechless. Every detail -- every seat, every flower, every table -- was perfect. After we said "I do," Sushie was right there with "his and hers" drinks in hand, guiding us through the timeline, making sure we had private moments and stayed on schedule. Everything flowed effortlessly -- a beautiful, unforgettable blur. --- TL;DR Sushie is worth every single cent. We booked her for multiple events, and she delivered above and beyond every time. She'll keep your vision alive, keep you organized, stay within budget, and respond faster than anyone. Don't question her -- trust her. If you want a stress-free, beautiful, and unforgettable wedding experience, Menage A Trois San Jose is the only team to book.

Where do I start with how amazing of a team Menage is? I learned about Team Menage from my bestfriend's wedding. I loved witnessing how easy it was to work with them as well as how smooth everything flowed throughout my bestfriend's wedding day. Fast forward to a year later, I reached out to Sushie, the big brains of Menage, to help my now husband and I plan our big day. Any idea, question, comment, or concern I voiced to Sushie was always responded to in a very quick manner. I never felt like I was waiting on Sushie, I think I kept her waiting with my indecisiveness which she was extremely patient with. I felt like I built a bond with Sushie over the course of our wedding planning that it made it feel easy to reach out to her. She always kept in mind our budget, details we wanted, and a lot of back-end paperwork that I never wanted to worry about. On top of that, she's pretty funny. I want to give a big shout out to Jessica, the day-of coordinator for our wedding. Jessica is a part of team Menage and was assigned to our wedding day. Jessica was very kind, patient, sweet, and punctual. I 100000% think that our wedding day went so smoothly because the back end planning with Sushie as well as Jessica graciously handling our timeline. If there were any stressors I was feeling nearing the time of event, Jessica was on it to ensure that things were going to run smoothly. Although we had a coordinator (not apart of Menage) included in our venue package, I trusted Jessica more than anyone on the day of our wedding to make sure everything ran smoothly. She worked so hard for us that our wedding party even noticed and acknowledged how great she was, thank you so much Jessica!!! Special shout out to Aime and Vanessa. These two are also an integral part of Team Menage. Aime paid attention to details such as fluffing my veil and dress before walking down the aisle and at the altar, ensuring the kids in our wedding party were good, and ensuring all details were in place throughout the wedding day in such a quick manner. We discussed a very detailed timeline with Sushie ahead of time and it's so easy to get pulled in different directions throughout your wedding day. We want to send our biggest thanks to Vanessa for keeping Michael and I on schedule, we appreciate you!! Bonus points because I get to say my wedding was ran by a team of bad ass women. If you want a bomb wedding, hire team Menage. You won't regret it read more

100% recommend Sushie and her team for helping plan and coordinate your wedding! Her experience and connections in the wedding industry made finding & communicating with vendors extremely easy. This was the biggest source of anxiety when we started planning, and having Sushie help with this was the best decision we made. She was very easy to talk to and quick to respond to any questions or concerns we had. Even though we knew she was booked & busy with other clients, she always made us feel like we were her top priority whenever we met. On our wedding day, I didn't have to worry about setting up, timelines, last-minute issues, or anything because her team handled it all seamlessly. I'm not sure what else to say because all of the previous reviews have covered and matched our experience as well. We (and our guests) would not have been able to have such an amazing day without her. read more

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! If you're getting married or trying to plan a party, Sushie is THE person to help you. She and the Menage a Trois team really went above and beyond and gave me the wedding of my dreams. From the moment my husband and I got engaged, we were extremely anxious about having to plan our wedding because we were so clueless about vendors and where to even begin. We hadn't met with any other wedding planner before, but after talking with Sushie a few times, we were locked in and so excited to actually begin wedding planning since we had Sushie to help us. Sushie's enthusiasm and happy attitude really made planning our wedding more fun and less stressful. She is extremely knowledgeable in everything wedding-related and has so many different ideas to incorporate into weddings. She gave us so many different vendor options and almost all of our vendors we used were actually referred by Sushie and we couldn't have been happier. Sushie was very determined to help us stay within our budget while keeping our vision for our wedding. She was very flexible with her schedule and always made time to discuss our wedding, no matter how late or early it was. She also always gave us her honest opinions while making sure we could still have the wedding we wanted. She really took my vision board google slide set and created a budget-friendly, beautiful wedding that I will remember forever. Overall, we really can't recommend Sushie and the Menage a Trois team enough and are forever grateful to have had Sushie as our wedding planner. read more

I've been following Sushie and her team since before I even got engaged! I just knew if I ever planned to have a wedding, this would be THE TEAM! Absolutely blown away by this team's dedication, love & care. I consider myself to be a very detailed and organized person, but oh man did I underestimate how hectic and insane weddings can be. As much as you want to believe you can do things yourself, hiring a team like ménage a trois will save your life QUITE literally. I was mainly in touch with Sushie for majority of the communications, and the day of Jessica took over as our main wedding coordinator. The entire team is so kind, organized, and thoughtful. Everyone we worked with was literally amazing and they truly went above and beyond to make the wedding go as smooth as possible. Definitly some chaotic moments and fires, but they allowed us to enjoy our special day as much as we could. Highly reccomend this team to everyone! Jessica handled all the chaos and commotion with such ease & grace, so many times I felt overwhelmed but with her there all those worries instantly disappeared and they were able to fix everything with lighting speed. read more

I cannot recommend sushi enough! She was fun to work with, incredibly helpful, open to all of my ideas, and always willing to think outside the box to make our wedding vision come to life. I never felt judged--she truly listened and made me feel heard and special. She even went the extra mile by helping locate items and ensuring my decor looked as I had imagined. Despite navigating her own personal challenges, she remained professional, supportive, and attentive. Her team on the wedding day was fantastic as well, meeting me exactly where I was and ensuring everything ran smoothly. Working with ménage a trois was an absolute joy, and they helped make our day unforgettable. read more

Where do I even begin with talking about Sushie and her team?! From the moment we first chatted with Sushie, we immediately knew Menage a Trois was the perfect fit for us. Sushie has the most magnetic personality and the biggest heart - you can tell how much she truly cares for each of her clients. Sushie is also incredibly knowledgeable with all aspects of wedding planning which put us at ease that we were in good hands (because we literally came in with little to no knowledge of where to even begin). We came in with a particular vision that Sushie and team executed absolutely perfectly. We can't thank Menage a Trois enough for helping us create one of the best days of our lives! read more

Sushie went above and beyond helping my wife and me with our wedding. We had a short engagement and needed all the help we can get, and Sushie was there the whole way. She made sure we're getting the best deals with our vendors and helped us think about the right questions to ask. She is very responsive, always replying quickly to all our messages and even often respond to our texts even when it is late into the night. We knew we were in good hands. She was highly recommended by the venue we decided on. And all our vendors that have worked with Sushie before spoke highly of her. Sushie has a certain energy about her that makes you feel very comfortable to ask even the dumbest questions. I appreciate her humor and candidness as we discuss our various options and what we valued for our wedding. (She's also very honest about what she thought wasn't worth spending money on.) There were also a few things that I thought I didn't care about for the wedding, but was convinced otherwise by Sushie. And I'm glad she did b/c those little details actually helped a lot during the wedding. Sushie always got us back on track with wedding planning when my wife and I procrastinated on our decision making. We had a lot of stuff going on in our lives during the engagement period and we were really stressed out, but Sushie was always quick to reassure us that she'll get us past the finish line. I would have been happy if the wedding wasn't a disaster given such a short engagement, but it actually turned out to be an amazing wedding that ran incredibly smoothly. A lot of our friends commented how it was one of the nicest weddings they've been to and we owe Sushie a lot for that. read more

Sushie did an incredible job with our wedding and was easily one of the best vendors we worked with. My wife and I were looking for a month of coordinator that would be willing to help out with planning and help us find vendors, and Sushie was exactly what we were looking for. Unlike some other coordinators out there that won't really talk to you until a month before your wedding, Sushie was involved in our wedding planning from the moment that we found her. She recommended several great vendors that were fantastic and matched our vision exactly, including our florist and cake vendor. Throughout the entire planning process, Sushie was the definition of above and beyond, and she was everything we could possibly want in a wedding coordinator. She was extremely responsive, super enthusiastic, and very organized, during both the initial planning and the wedding weekend. Our schedule on the wedding day was executed flawlessly, and everything went incredibly smoothly. Sushie had a ton of props that we borrowed for our wedding, including assorted picture frames and decorations, various Chinese tea ceremony accessories, boba signs, and more. We'd highly recommend working with her if you're planning to DIY any parts of your wedding, as she's incredibly helpful in that area. Overall, we really can't recommend her enough, and if it's not already obvious from her glowing reviews, you should definitely hire her. read more

I was drawn to Sushie because of how approachable she is. While some Bay Area wedding planners scoffed at my budget, Sushie was willing to help me create a wedding that had my non-negotiables but didn't break the bank. As my wedding vision changed, she effortlessly pivoted, sending examples for inspiration and connecting me to amazing vendors to manifest the vision. The mutual respect and praise between Sushie and her vendors is a testament to how great it is to work with Menage A Trois. Now, as a happily married wife, I realize that Sushie is not a regular wedding planner/ coordinator, she's a *friend* wedding planner/ coordinator. Through the frustrating, overwhelming, and daunting planning process, Sushie was there-- quickly responding to my late night/ early morning texts, updating spreadsheets, and kindly reminding me to do my "wedding homework" (I planned while in grad school). I cannot thank Sushie enough for accommodating unconventional requests (e.g., setting up my mom's empanadas at the dessert table) and ultimately, preventing many, many menty b's (mental breakdowns). When I show off my wedding photos, I often get comments on how happy I look. I have Sushie, her team of minions, and vendor partnerships to thank for that! My loved ones and I thoroughly enjoyed the wedding despite the unavoidable hiccups, which included a sinus infection the week prior, petty family drama, and tardy wedding guests. Oh and rain. The weeks leading up to my wedding were sunny, in the 90s F, but the day of my wedding was suddenly forecasted to be cold, rainy, and as a result, muddy. While I worried and prayed for sunshine, Sushie provided real solutions and independently collaborated with my venue to craft backup plans (e.g., offering her canopies for cocktail hour in the garden). Sushie and minions stepped up when I was my biggest obstacle (think analysis paralysis, not bridezilla). When I foolishly procrastinated on my DIY seating chart, Sushie, armed with lots of tape and love for me (hehe), finished it. When I couldn't find any Gudetama plushies to use as substitutes for the bouquet/ garter toss, I settled for Angel and Stitch, but right before the toss Sushie surprised me with a little present (see picture). She demonstrated her invaluable experience by answering questions I didn't think I had; like "yes" to peach gauze runners at each table, individual menus, accessories for photo flat-lays, and a thousand other tiny details that cultivated a wedding that was "very Floraine (featuring her husband, David)." David's TL;DR version: "Get a wedding planner, or at least a day of coordinator like Sushie because I was pretty useless." read more

Sushie and her team were amazing and I couldn't recommend them enough! Sushie was extremely communicative and responsive throughout the entire process. We had a few scheduled meetings with her but she was always available for adhoc questions via email and had recommendations for everything. She helped us make wonderful vendor choices when figuring out a florist and a hair and makeup artist. We rented an arch through her too, and she provided many useful items like a card box and table numbers. Sushie was also so helpful in explaining how different choices would impact the overall wedding cost. She knew everything about vendor price ranges, where to effectively save money, and how spending more or less on different aspects of the wedding would change the final experience. I remember sending her many photos of floral arrangements from Pinterest and her telling us exactly how much a florist would charge for them. This kind of feedback was so helpful when making all of our planning decisions. More than anything, Sushie made the wedding planning process fun! She is so funny and easy to talk to. The wedding planning process can be so stressful but working with Sushie was the simplest part of everything. Our event went so smoothly and we had such an incredible time. Thank you so much Sushie! read more

We feel incredibly fortunate to have had Sushie as our wedding planner. When friends asked us how the planning was going, our answer was always the same: "Zero stress--Sushie has handled every single detail." She took the time to truly understand what mattered most to us--whether that meant ensuring the catering met our family's standards or bringing our chosen aesthetic to life. Her attention to detail and thoughtful planning made the entire process feel effortless. Sushie and her team are exceptional, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to any couple looking for a flawless wedding experience. read more

We cannot thank Sushie and her team enough for making our dream wedding day at Allied Arts Guild a reality. The thought of planning a wedding while juggling a demanding graduate program felt extremely overwhelming and intimidating but ultimately we knew we would regret not having one with our friends and family. During our initial phone call, I was drawn to Sushie's upbeat and friendly personality. Compared to other planners that I spoke with, she felt like a close friend who was genuinely enthusiastic and invested in helping us plan our wedding. Due to our busy schedules, communication with Sushie was sporadic during the year leading up to the wedding. Sushie would remind us periodically about certain tasks and we knew we could always reliably reach out to her with any questions or concerns. Having her insight and guidance in comparing vendor contracts and packages was invaluable. Sushie is extremely well-connected in the Bay Area which made booking many of our other vendors (cake, dessert, DJ, photobooth, florals) a seamless process. She helped secure an amazing hotel block for our guests with a beautiful suite for getting ready as well as a room reservation for our after party at a bar close to the venue. Sushie was always mindful of our budget and helped us cut costs without sacrificing our vision. She was generous in sharing her vast inventory of wedding items with us (votives, card box, frames, sparklers, blankets) and took care of printing and framing photos and menus which saved us money and time. The month before our wedding is when we truly experienced Sushie's magic! We were pleasantly surprised at how little we needed to communicate with Sushie and our other vendors even on the days leading up to our wedding because she had already taken care of countless details. Sushie also made recommendations that we hadn't considered like getting activity kits for the kids during the reception and having a trusted person empty the card box between the ceremony and cocktail hour. On the day of the wedding, Sushie and her minions took care of everything so my husband and I could fully enjoy our wedding and be present with our guests. They worked efficiently with the set-up, timeline, and clean-up and handled all vendor communication. Sushie even remembered small requests that I had made like not wanting umbrellas set up for the reception if weather permitted. Like any wedding, there were some minor hiccups (not due to Sushie) and Sushie and her team handled everything behind the scenes to ensure that the day ran smoothly for us and our guests. We are forever grateful to have had Sushie as our wedding planner! read more

Another 5 star review for Sushie! I reached out via Yelp about a year ago as I was planning my SF wedding from Seattle. As you can imagine, it was hectic and I was going back and forth on whether I should buy, rent, or go with a local wedding planner despite not originally planning to! Sushie replied online within minutes, and we connected on the phone the next day. Her warmth and confidence shone through, and I was sold! Throughout the process, she was super communicative and was always in high spirits. My only regret is not finding her sooner! read more

About two weeks have passed since our wedding and we can not think about how great a job Sushie and her team was able to create our dream wedding. If you are looking to create your wedding vision into reality, do not even second guess with your decision of selecting Ménage A Trois. What do you need? Desserts? Signage? Dance floors? Fog machines to make it seem like you're dancing on clouds? You name it, Sushie will search the world for you to get you what you desire. Three words to describe Sushie: tireless, energetic and responsive. Aspects of a wedding coordinator that you truly need. Countless emails/ texts back and forth, with very prompt and immediate responses. Midnight texts with my wife, reassuring us that everything is coming into fruition. Our wedding venue, Blanco Urban, hit a home run when it comes to preferred vendors. The attention to detail when it came to wedding day was all that we could've have asked for. Astonished and mesmerized upon entry of our venue, everything looked beautiful on our first look. Sushie and her team working endlessly, we cannot thank them enough for making our vision come to life. Check out the decor in the photos below! On the day of, she made sure that everything was smooth and prompt. We still see that you're reading this review when you should actually be booking her as your wedding coordinator right now! Thank you Sushie and the Ménage A Trois team (minions), we may not work with each other again, but you bet we will continue to recommend you for future wedding needs! read more

With 2023 starting, I just have to start the year right by saying the number one thing I would recommend any bride getting married, is to hire a wedding planner. Even if you think you can handle everything yourself or cut costs by doing it yourself, hire a planner. Sushie and her team were the icing on top of my whole wedding being completely and entirely stress-free. I wasn't sure what I was looking for when I began my wedding planning journey, but finding and following Menage A Trois several months before reaching out, had really sealed the deal for me. I have to admit, I'm not the most organized, nor am I the best at keeping track of things, but why would I need to, when you have the best planner to support you in every single way. She can work with every aspect of your needs from style to budget and she's amazing at suggesting everything that you may want or need for your special day. The huge list of vendors that she works with, not to mention, the variety in inventory that she possesses, is incredible. Sushie was able to bring about my wedding dreams and she nailed it with every little detail. Her and her team put in amazing work and I'm grateful for all the hard work she put in to make sure my wedding day went on without any issues--even if the skies were threatening us with rain . Lastly, don't hesitate to ask her about anything you may be curious about, I'm sure she's heard it before and will try her best to accommodate your needs and expectations! Best highlights? BTS themed wedding? Ramen Bar? Boba Bar? read more

We booked Sushie as our Wedding Planner and Vanessa on her team as our Day of Coordinator. Many reviews already echo our sentiments about how great Sushie was at everything you'd expect from a planner: organized, detail-oriented, rapidly communicative, proactive, kept us on budget, and truly cared about our best interests like a friend. So I want to highlight what stood out: 1. She never gave up finding ways to keep us within budget, like sourcing only our napkins from a different vendor and picking them up to save us hundreds. 2. Her one-stop shop operating model made everything WAY easier to manage. All the little things like polaroid cameras, picture frames, signage templates, bud vases, candle holders, table #s, etc. could be supplied by Sushie. And she has a million versions of them so we just needed to choose. Her team also types and prints all paper goods (menus, place cards, welcome sign, etc.) which takes a huge load off the final weeks. 3. She understood all the nuances of our desires by sourcing inspo photos until she got it right, and never made us feel bad for discussing any inspo we'd send over. Then she translated this to our vendors, ensuring we'd get our vision. The best example of this is our florals which she pushed to be a specific width, height, style, and fullness based on my inpso. Then on the wedding day everything was executed flawlessly! As a very detailed-oriented person myself I was impressed by how nothing was forgotten or out of place. Sushie documented plans, but Vanessa was our Day of Coordinator and didn't forget a single detail from our walkthrough -- and we had many tiny details to keep track of. I want to shoutout Vanessa and Aime as our coordinator team because they ensured we didn't have to think about anything. Everything ran on time with Vanessa cueing everyone in the background. They were always two steps ahead: I never knew where my phone was but Vanessa did! We'd turn around and Aime would be holding a water and plate of food for us. They ensured every card given was put in the card box and then safely handed off. At the end of the night they packed everything up perfectly despite the party chaos. Not a single thing was lost, not even our pens. We never had to ask for anything on our wedding day -- we only had to experience it -- and that's the best we could've hoped for! read more

Sushie and company have went above and beyond for our wedding day. First and foremost, our wedding day was a day to remember. Truly, one of the best days of our lives. It was all in part to the planning, recommendations, and effort placed by Sushie and her team. Her organization is her superpower. It allowed us to keep on track, while also knowing that SUSHIE has it DOWN. She held into account our wants, budget, and vision. A Wedding is an extremely stressful event and I truly believe she was the biggest factor of making this day memorable. Our wedding day has now passed, but as our videos and pictures return. All of those moments came flooding in and we are truly grateful for Susie and all her efforts. One of the most impactful, yet underrated thins she done for us was to TAKE IT ALL IN. She went up to us and said, "Put it down, I will run the show. Go enjoy your day." All in all, Sushie is one of a kind. We could not envision anyone else leading the charge on your wedding day. read more

This review is long overdue! We cannot thank Sushie enough for the incredible job her and her team did with our wedding! From the very beginning, she was very professional, attentive, and truly dedicated to bringing our wedding vision to life. Every detail, from the floral arrangements/decorations to the timing of the event was flawless. What really stood out was how Sushie was really fun to plan with especially our very late night calls and text messages. She went above and beyond--making last-minute adjustments, offering creative solutions just in case unexpected things came up, and ensuring that everything ran smoothly without us ever having to worry. Sushie and her team were not just planners but we truly made friends, which made it really fun and exciting to plan our special day. The day felt perfect even when it rained (which to us made it more special) and we owe it all to the dedication, care, and hard work that Sushie and her team put into every aspect of the planning. We highly recommend Sushie to any couple looking for a wedding planner who will exceed all expectations. Thank you again for making our wedding day unforgettable! From Lynn & Sebastian read more

Long overdue review! We hired Sushie as our wedding planner, and for a year and a half she was with us every step of the way to make our dream wedding a reality. Sushie always had our best interests at heart and was so proactive in the process, helping us find vendors that would meet our needs within our budget. Communicating with Sushie was SO easy. She answers super quickly and will never leave you hanging. All of our planning calls were not only extremely productive, but fun! Sushie's team also offered other great services on top of the planning. We did our printing through them, they supplied a lot of decorations, and Aimee DIYed our wedding arch that turned out soooo amazing! This is a crew that can do it all, and we're so grateful to have had them plan our wedding. Highly recommend :) read more

I have been following Sushie's Instagram at Menage A Trois even before I was engaged and admired her dedication to wedding planning. During our first phone conversations, we bonded over nerdy things and I knew immediately that we would get along. She made me feel at ease with asking her a ton of questions and she is super easy to communicate with! She is probably one of the quickest people to reply back to emails or text (especially texts). One of the biggest deciding factors that won my then-fiancé over was that she and her team are very familiar with our venue, Saratoga Springs. Our venue coordinators, Olivia and Sam, spoke highly of her and that brought another sense of assurance in hiring Sushie. I also love how connected she is in this industry and if you go with her preferred vendors list, they will generally give you a discount! She also has a ton of decors that she can lend to you if it matches your theme. Those two things alone are more than worth it in hiring her. We actually switched the photographer we hired for our engagement photos to one of her recommendations and we couldn't be happier with how the photos turned out. I'm pretty comfortable with planning my own wedding as I'm a bit of a Type A person, but whenever I had any questions or just wanted to share my progress with, she was there every step of the way. The month leading to the big event, her and team took over with planning out the timeline, contacting vendors, being the contact people for the venue coordinators, and inventorying my decors. Jessica, Sushie's sister, was my day-of-coordinator, and even though we had only met the month prior our reception, I felt like we were in very good hands. I would recommend anyone planning a wedding, at the very minimum, hire a day-of-coordinator. You will enjoy your special day so much more! There were so many things happening on the day of and we were only doing a reception (no ceremony), I can't imagine not having someone to manage the chaos! Jessica and Sushie's minions made sure everything was beautifully set up, that we kept to our timeline to the best of our abilities, and troubleshoot any problems that occurred. This included a dress malfunction, but luckily, a disaster was averted! We had the most magical evening ever and that in no small part due to Team Menage a Trois!! read more

Our wedding day ran so much more smoothly than I ever could have imagined thanks to Sushie and her team. Sushie made us feel comfortable with the process from day one - walking through timelines, budgets, expectations, and in general just treating us like friends. She truly went above and beyond - when our venue became unresponsive to reachouts over email and phone calls, Sushie personally drove over to the venue to talk to the management and got us the answers we needed. She kept us on-schedule (knowing that we, like many couples, procrastinate a bit too much) and personally ensured that every checklist item was completed in the weeks leading up to the event. She even helped to source much of our decor, some of it from her personal inventory. Every single vendor we talked to had nothing but compliments for Sushie, and each time we heard Sushie's name in a positive light, it gave us that reassurance that we had picked a great planner. Sushie is incredibly well-connected across the vendor network in the Bay Area, and her candid opinions about vendors was a huge time-saver. Our wedding ended up being one of the happiest days of our lives, and everything far surpassed our expectations. We are so incredibly grateful to have picked such an amazing team! read more

Sushi was my day of wedding coordinator for my wedding that just past on October 20, 2023. Sushi is very organized, detailed oriented, really cares about her clients big day and truly exceeds expectations. She did an amazing job and I 100% recommend her! read more

Sushie is AN AMAZING WEDDING PLANNER! My wedding was very difficult to plan - I was overseas, my husband was busy, so Sushie had to do a lot of heavy lifting for us from the beginning! She was always so professional and kind when it came to all matters - and she even helped me pick out my wedding dress! (Thank you so much, Sushie!) And of course, on the day of - my gosh, we had so much variables on the day, I just can't imagine how Sushie and her team handled all of this. But a big shout out to Sushie and her team - Vanessa, Bryant, Jenny and Kate - for all their superb hard work and professionalism! The day was amazing - all the guest only talked of how beautiful the wedding was! Thank you, Sushie and all of her team, for making my day PERFECT. read more

Coming in to wedding planning, I never imagined being able to afford a wedding planner. Luckily over dinner my brother told me about the offerings of his planner. I never knew there was such thing as a day of planner. My brother raved about Sushie and the services she had to offer. The icing on the cake was that she planned his big day and I got to witness the joyous occasion she helped them plan. Although we hired Sushie as a day of planner, she did so much more than that. She truly helped us through many steps of the way. She covered all of the details and was honest with her feedback. She really tried to go out of her way to help us save, stay on budget, and find the best deals. Nowadays, you don't find people like that. I appreciated her honesty and devotion to what she does. Sushie helped me find my dj and photographer... and all with ease and staying within budget! The day of.... was pretty much perfect. We appreciate the organization, the attention to detail, and all of the surprises she had up her sleeve... imagine walking out and seeing she made all of your wedding dreams come true. It was stunning..... I literally pinched myself. I never got to truly thank her in person. I guess the only real way I can is by letting the world know, you need Sushie. Don't wait! She is a busy yet magical lady--hire her! If you have it in your budget to hire her for full service, do it. I know you won't regret it. read more

Hiring Sushie with Ménage a Trois as our wedding coordinator was without a doubt the best decision we made throughout our entire planning process. From our very first conversation, it was clear that she is not only incredibly knowledgeable and experienced, but also deeply passionate about what she does. What truly sets Sushie apart is her deep understanding of the industry and her incredible network of vendors. She had a recommendation for everything--musicians, photographers, dessert caterers -- and each one was top-tier. It saved us so much time and stress knowing we could trust her referrals completely. But what really blew us away was how far above and beyond she went for us. She genuinely cares about her couples and it shows in every detail. She listened to our ideas, helped us fine-tune them, and then brought them to life in ways we hadn't even imagined. She's like a creative partner, logistical mastermind, and calming presence all rolled into one. On the day of the wedding, she was absolutely indispensable. Every little thing was handled smoothly and quietly behind the scenes so we could be completely present and enjoy the day. She anticipated needs we didn't even know we had, from managing vendor arrival times to calming our nerves--her team was everywhere and nowhere, exactly as you'd want your coordinator to be. If you're looking for someone who will treat your day with the same care and enthusiasm as if it were her own, look no further. Ménage a Trois is truly one of a kind. read more
