Kaella and team made our wedding the most incredible experience of our lives. If I could give Madix and Co ten stars, I would. Our wedding was perfect thanks to Kaella's talent for creating a unique, personal aesthetic. We weren't great at describing our style or exactly what we wanted initially, but Kaella was able to translate our thoughts into a stunning celebration. She presented us with so many incredible options at different price points, guiding us through our options along the way. She didn't just plan a wedding, really - she took our vague vision and made it more beautiful than I ever thought possible. But what truly sets her and her team apart is in the execution. On the day of the wedding, my husband and I didn't have to think about a single logistical detail--we were able to just be present and soak in every moment because we knew Kaella and her team had everything under control. Kaella's vendor relationships are clearly unmatched in the industry, and it showed. Everything felt seamless. Finally, beyond her expertise, Kaella herself is just the most wonderful, warm, and charming person to work with. She exudes professionalism while being incredibly fun and a total pleasure to be around. Planning a wedding can be stressful, but she made the entire process feel like a collaboration with a friend who just happens to be the best in the business. Our wedding was absolutely perfect - so much more than I could have ever imagined. And hiring Madix and Co was the best decision we made. To Kaella and her team: thank you for making our dream a reality. To any couple looking for a planner: look no further. You've found the best.

Kaella and her team transformed our ideas into seamless, engaging experiences that impressed every attendee. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and true "white glove" service ensured that every element was executed flawlessly from start to finish.

I hired Ten Tables to plan my 40 person wedding. I had a tight budget and Kayla was able to work…read moreabsolute wonders for my special day! From the food, beverage, venue, floral, decor, and all other small details, it was spectacular. I felt as though I could give her my color choices and general style and it was executed flawlessly with little direction. She was even able to get a custom arch made for my ceremony which of course was decorated with beautiful floral accents. I didn't have to worry or stress about a thing when it came to the event side of things so all I needed to do was get a dress and show up on time. If you are looking for a company that will do all the heavy lifting for you, that's what Ten Tables will do. I felt completely taken care of from start to finish with clear costs and budget transparency. It will be the best event you've ever had!!

I've worked with Stephanie over many years on very high-touch corporate events, user conferences, press and media events, corporate incentives and sales conferences. I trust her completely and know that I'm going to have the best possible event if I'm working with her. She also helped me with my wedding, and she did not disappoint!

If anyone can pull off an event, it's Stephanie Franco...just tell her…read more what you want, and consider it done!! Every detail is accounted for, and she's happy to go through all the details with you...or not. She will never make you nervous with her calm disposition and her never ending professionalism. I worked with Stephanie on a week long pharma launch meeting for 600 people...that she planned in 3 weeks! She's a big picture person, but knows it's all about every last detail, and has a unique personal touch. Whatever kind of corporate event is called for, Stephanie can execute! Interesting Factoid about Stephanie:I had the pleasure of being her tent-mate during the AVON Breast Cancer 2 day walk...and i would recommend her as a good camping partner as well!!! So even though she knows (and prefers) the 5 star hotels...Stephanie is very diverse!!!

Cheryl helped us plan the last parts of our wedding, since my wife and I thought that we could…read morehandle everything. When it came close to wedding time, we still didn't have some things secured, like DJ, performers, lighting, MC, and any last minute planning. She reviewed and went over our schedule, made suggestions for improvements and time management. She got us in contact with the entertainment that we needed and got us a good price. She was on top of our last minute wedding schedule. Reminded us of things that still needed to be done or deposit deadlines to secure any vendors. She was very professional, listened to our needs, made suggestions when needed, and helped us get to our wedding day. Our wedding day turned out great. My wife and I are not sure how our reception would have turned out if Cheryl didn't help us out!

Never did I think I…read morewould be one to hire a wedding coordinator. #1) Didn't think there was so much that went into it #2) Didn't think I could afford it...But boy was I wrong!!! It wasn't long (the save-the-dates) until I realized that I did need her help and she showed me that having a wedding coordinator didn't have to cost me an arm and a leg. Her services are very affordable yet priceless. Within our first meeting she understood my vision and helped me put it together without me even knowing exactly where I was going with it. She seemed to capture it perfectly. Throughout us working together she did a great job following up on her tasks: making sure everything was done but most importantly she made sure that I was doing okay emotionally as things got really stressful and tense as the big day got nearer. She made sure I knew she was there for anything I needed whether it was to get something done, some moral support or simply some venting. I don't know how many times I talked/texted with her just to let some steam off. This is the sweetest person ever. There's no doubt she has the talent but there's no doubt by her personality that she was made for this. The ultimate icing on the cake was wedding rehearsal and the wedding day itself when everything went off without a hitch. The only jitters came to walking down the aisle and not tripping and falling because I knew she had EVERYTHING under control. I had heard from every one of our vendors that she had been in contact with them days and weeks before the wedding to make sure everything went smoothly and so it did. I am forever grateful for Cheryl and her wonderful and supportive team. Not only do I consider her the most amazing and professional event planner but my family and I are proud to call her our friend. We would refer her to anybody considering her services in a heartbeat.

There is a good reason why they flew her into Colorado, Jamie performs with aplomb in challenging situations and she had challenges like no other in Colorado. The preceding week Boulder experienced one of the worst weather events in recent history, extreme flooding and infrastructure damage. Somehow, and I really don't know how, she was able to pull the two day event together with minimal issues. The second event, which was held in San Francisco. Happily took a more normal course in regards to extraneous and unrelated events. All of my interactions with Jamie were pleasurable and there was both open and positive lines of communications for both events. As a contractor that makes my job much easier and more pleasurable. Jamie's talent and passion for the work she does shines through with her smiles, joyfulness and unaffected manner. I hope I get to work alongside her in the near future.

Throughout the planning process Stacy was incredible, but she was even better day of. As a groom it's pretty nerve racking to be standing there waiting to walk down the aisle, but having Stacy there with a warm smile saying everything was all set was really calming. I never had to worry about a thing and that's a huge relief on what can be an extremely stressful day. She kept us on time for everything and was also flexible with squeezing in extra time for photos cause she knew that was really important to us. In the middle of the evening I realized that I had left two cases of beer in the trunk of my car back at the hotel. I had spent weeks hunting this down and Stacy knew it meant a lot to me so she had one of her assistants drive back to the hotel, talk the front desk into getting access to my car so she could bring the beer back to the wedding. Pure awesomeness. We also had an unexpected medical emergency in the middle of the reception and Stacy handled it like the pro she is. The person actually ended up going to the hospital with some family and Stacy arranged for food to be sent over. Before choosing Stacy we talked to a few other planners, but as soon as we sat down with Stacy things just clicked and we knew had found the right planner.

I asked the wedding venue I chose if they had any Event Planners to recommend, and Stacey was first…read moreon their list. After speaking with her just once, I told my fiance' that I didn't need to speak with anyone else because she was "perfect." And now that our wedding has come and gone, I can say without question that she was indeed perfect. To back track a little bit... When I began, I wanted to find vendors that were not overly traditional, trite, or in any way "cheesy" - not always easy in the formulaic industry of wedded bliss. I've never been someone who dreamed of a fairytale princess wedding, I just wanted a very tasteful event that reflected who we were as a unique couple. Stacey definitely helped us achieve that. She has impeccable taste, and more importantly the knack for understanding who you are, what you want, and how to get there. She's extremely organized, busy yet calm, diplomatic... and totally delightful. (Truly, everyone who met her during our wedding weekend fell in love.) I had many ideas for what I wanted, but living in Los Angeles, it was going to be a leap of faith to coordinate with the vendors in northern California. Stacey, though, paired us up with the perfect people every time. (And if you're having an event outside the SF/Napa area, you can still use her: she's got her eye on everything fabulous in other cities as well). As a Producer & Director, I'm used to running the show. But having gotten to know Stacey, by the day of my wedding, I didn't worry for one second about vendors, timing, or a hundred possible mishaps. I just wasn't concerned because I had complete faith in her. It felt great to sit back, enjoy our guests, and take in the experience. If you have Stacey at the helm, you'll feel the same way. I've never met someone so well suited for their job - truly. Stacey has every single quality a person in this position needs. There are well known planners out there (trust me, I looked) who I can't imagine would hold a candle to her when all is said and done. And on top of that, she genuinely wants your wedding to be as wonderful as you do. I had to laugh when it was all over because, for someone who didn't want a "fairytale" wedding, that's exactly what I got. I used to snicker when people waxed that their wedding was the greatest day of their lives...and my husband and I would both now tell you with a straight face that's exactly what our wedding was. It was magic and I'm so glad Stacey was at the wheel. In summation, I love Stacey. I might give her a kidney if she asked.

The recipe to a perfect dream wedding starts off with amazing vendors! The Backpocket Hero Team,…read morewho coordinated my special day in September, exceeded my expectations by working along side me in making my day momentous. Janice, the lead coordinator was detailed orientated, organized, and well focused about the execution. Let's start off with the bundle of assistance we needed as we were perplexed by how much coordination goes into a wedding celebration. Janice and her assistants supported us in refining our vision of the wedding, the overall flow of the wedding schedule, and most importantly the execution! As the months turned into weeks, our vision of the wedding evolved and often times became blurry. We needed to refocus. By engaging in weekly meetings with Janice and her team prior to the wedding day, we were able to resolve the details that appeared to rattle our nerves. Our vision became clearer that our wedding was about us and that all the planning would eventually fall into place. Planning a wedding always seems so easy but putting the parts together and making it happen is the struggle. We wanted to make sure every moment was captured and by reviewing our wedding day schedule carefully with Janice and the team, we were able to incorporate the moments we wanted. They provided thoughtful and realistic feedback that helped us keep the schedule moving along but still flexible. The team furthermore provided support at our Rehearsal smoothing out last minute details. When the day finally arrived, the team worked with our amazing vendors to make sure the operations ran smoothly for both our ceremony and reception. The team provided every level of support from monitoring the schedule to the setup up of personalized decorations. Everything was beautiful and breathtaking! When I arrived to my reception, there was a moment my heart skipped a beat because of how put together the venue looked. At the end of our night we were able to capture all the moments we wanted. We had the time of our lives! From the start to the finish, there really is no secret to the perfect wedding recipe. Just as long as you believe in your vendors, they will make your visions come to life. You will be in good hands with the Backpocket Hero team!

Janice guided me calmly through the process of going through piles of papers and office supplies, keeping me on task when I got distracted. She was very hands-on, getting in and helping me dust and vacuum. Janice also helped me step back, look at the big picture, and think creatively about the overall organizing process when I got too caught up in details. The whole experience of working with Janice was great, but the best part of having her help me organize my home office might have been that she took all the things to be donated with her, so I didn't need to worry about about them! (This may be a particularly big deal for me since I don't have a car.) Thanks Janice!
