Michele was amazing. We used Planimation Events for Month of Coordination. I went to Michele with…read moreany question/concern/problem I had and she was incredibly helpful with everything! She always showed up with a smile on her face and a positive attitude (even when I was getting to be bridezilla). She accommodated every request and offered suggestions to make the wedding run as smoothly and beautifully as possible. We had some issues with our venue (that's another story) and weren't able to set everything up the night before the wedding. There was so much left undone, and I had a plan for it all. I gave Michele a super quick run through of about 20 things I needed to be done the day of the wedding. I didn't know how she was going to get it all done or remember it all, but she did. I didn't do a thing the day of the wedding, Michele and her girls took care of it all -- and it looked amazing! She got every detail right, paid attention to every request I gave her. She respected my ideas and my vision and honored that to give me my perfect day. She was kind and professional and truly was happy for both of us on the day of our wedding. You can tell Michele does this because she loves it. She is genuine and generally a lovely person to be around. Honestly, my wedding would not have been what it was without Michele. I am so happy we used Planimation Events to plan our wedding. I highly recommend Michele and her team. Thank you Michele!!

From the Bride: When we booked our venue, the event manager advised us that we didn't really need…read moreto hire an outside coordinator; apparently very few couples getting married at the Madonna Inn enlist additional help. Because we live out of the area and wanted to enjoy our wedding day as thoroughly as possible, we decided to go ahead and find some extra help who would make sure everything ran smoothly. I interviewed half a dozen highly-qualified planners/coordinators in the SLO area before finding Planimation Events to help us with month-of and day-of services. My initial impressions of Michele were that she was kind, competent, and well-organized; but it turns out her qualifications don't end there! Before the wedding Michele worked with each of our vendors to make sure everyone was well-coordinated and everything was as we planned it. From making sure flags in the reception room were removed before dinner (long story) to perfectly placing each last bit of decor, Michele and her team knew exactly what it took to make sure everything ran smoothly. On the day of the wedding we didn't see Michele much because she and her assistant were actively running the "show behind the show"; everything ran on time and according to plan - if there were any snafus, we had no idea because Michele took care of it. With Planimation's help we were able to relax (well, as much as one can on their wedding day!) and enjoy all our friends and family knowing that Michele had taken care of everything we threw at her along the way. Now here's the part where I get sappy and maybe even a little teary-eyed. Michele and her team provided exactly what we hired Planimation to do flawlessly; make sure all details were taken care of so we could be as present as possible on our wedding day. But the services Michele provided that weren't written in any contract or advertised on her website lie in the deep care and concern she showed for us (the bride and groom) as nervous humans trying to manage our emotions, our relatives, our wedding party, on the day of the biggest party we'll probably ever throw. She and her assistant kept us calm and laughing throughout the day; and not in a superficial way. I truly believe that Michele cares deeply about the people she works with and for; something rare in an industry dedicated to creating "picture perfect" days. With Michele's help our day not only LOOKED picture perfect but FELT picture perfect. Thank you, Planimation, for providing us peace of mind, kindness, and friendship. You have our deepest gratitude for your soulful support and buoyantly positive attitude. We love you! From the Groom: I was very reluctant to spend money on a wedding coordinator when both my wife and I are capable and well-organized. Michele turned out to be a wise investment, leaving wedding-ruining chores and stress to her and her staff, allowing us to enjoy our wedding. Michele was exactly what we needed. Planimation was easy to work with and professional, with what I'm told are good rates. This staff has my deep appreciation.

Then the morning OF the party, with 60 people expected, I get a TEXT message from a company saying they can't make it and sorry. Really?! Luckily, in a mad rush to find someone that had an available bounce house, we stumbled upon Jessica's Jolly Jumps online. Thank goodness we did! They saved the day.

He followed up with me a few days prior to the event to see if we wanted a wet or dry bounce slide. The day of the event he called/texted me in the morning to confirm the time he would be at our home and to give us the final price based on the slide we chose. They arrived on time, did their job, set up a plan to return, and were gone in a few minutes. The bounce house/slide was fantastic! The kids and adults had a wonderful time. It was the best birthday party we've ever put on. From here on out, we'll always skimp on the minutia in order to have a bounce house/slide at our parties. If you plan in advance, have a good attitude, and don't expect the world out of a bounce house company, you should be pretty satisfied with your experience. None of our local bounce house companies get stellar reviews online. I did my research and picked one that did a great job. I'll be a repeat customer.

There truly aren't enough words to express how incredible Heather was as our wedding planner. From…read morethe very beginning, she went above and beyond in every possible way, anticipating needs we didn't even know we had and making every want, idea, and detail feel important. She never missed a beat. Not once. Heather didn't simply plan our wedding, she poured her heart into it. She cared deeply about not only me and my bride, but also our families, bridal party, every single guest, and every vendor involved. She somehow managed to make everyone feel taken care of while orchestrating an absolutely flawless wedding behind the scenes. Because of Heather, we were able to be completely present and enjoy one of the most important days of our lives without worrying about a thing. Every detail was handled, every moment flowed effortlessly, and our guests had an unbelievable experience. To this day, people still talk about how incredible our wedding was, and just as often, they talk about how incredible Heather was. That says everything. Her attention to detail, professionalism, warmth, patience, dedication, and genuine care are unmatched. She treated our wedding as though it mattered just as much to her as it did to us, and you simply cannot put a price on that. She took what we imagined our wedding could be and somehow made it even better. We could not have asked for a better planner, a better experience, or a better wedding. Choosing Heather was without question one of the best decisions we made throughout the entire wedding process. I genuinely can't say enough amazing things about her. If you are considering working with Heather, do it. You will be in the absolute best hands. Our only complaint is that she did such an incredible job, I want to get married all over again just so we can work with her one more time. Heather, thank you for giving us the wedding of our dreams and an experience we will never forget. You are truly one of a kind.

I felt like every time I had a question or looked for something she or her team was there with it in hand. She politely but clearly kept everything on track and every vendor she recommended was top notch. She listened to us and accommodated our strange requests well. She kept us o. Track and on budget. I've professionally run a lot of events and I wish I'd had Heather for all of them. Can't say enough good things about her.

Can't really give her a 1, because we were not able to use her…read more We know nothing about her, so we contacted her to ask about her service, as well as placed to have the ceremony, etc. She emailed us back with "Let me know exactly what you want and I will give you a quote!" Well, we are not from the area and don't know "exactly what we want" so we gave her an idea, along with the fact that we really are not sure yet. Her reply, again very short and almost rude, was "I do not to any consulting. I can do your service for $295." She added that "I have done over 1000 weddings." Well, with responses like that, she wasn't going to have 1001 be ours. We needed a little bit of assistance in where is good, etc. We got more assistance from a receptionist at a hotel than we did from Andrea - and we were wanting to hire Andrea to do our wedding. Alternatively, we contacted Sandy White, an officiant new to the area. She drove from Los Osos to Pismo to meet with us, gave us advice on the area, and her rate is one third of what Andrea charges. We are not married yet, so we will review her after the ceremony. But definitely don't need "services" like Andrea is providing.

However, many of our out-of-town friends weren't up for a destination wedding on a Monday, so when we realized we didn't have enough people to fill the tent (we expected 50-75 guests), Colleen was still able to help us. She put us in touch with the Pismo State Beach people and we ended up having our reception on a sand dune next to the golf course. We actually took a bunch of wedding photos on the golf course itself, and then Colleen helped us re-locate our wedding across the parking lot on the outdoor patio at Fin's restaurant. It was really lovely and nothing we would have ever figured out how to do on our own. Colleen coordinated our chair set up for the ceremony on the sand dune and was an awesome, completely dependable and calm on-site coordinator for our reception. I had a ton of questions before our big day, and Colleen was always so patient and friendly and helpful.

We cannot thank her enough for adopting us and taking us "over the finish line" to make our wedding a reality. From the instant we had our first call, we immediately felt at ease that Jessie knew what she was doing. She had this infectious optimism, lightheartedness, and go-getter mentality that made us feel so confident and excited about wedding planning (two words I don't normally associate with planning a wedding, LOL). She is super well-connected in the Central Coast area and knew basically all our vendors personally. She was super communicative and always available over text to handle any little fires. She interfaced with all our vendors, including our after-party venue, and negotiated with them to save us $$! I kept wondering if I needed to be calling a vendor or following up with anything, but Jessie took care of everything! Whenever anyone asks how the wedding went, I can truly say it was a perfect day and nothing went awry. The truth is, I'm sure something didn't go the way it was supposed to, but that just means Jessie and her team handled it before I even knew it happened. Jessie, you are truly a godsend and I am so, so thankful for your presence in our lives during this season!! We love you!! -Sarah and Bryan
