Every detail was flawless, the timeline ran perfectly, and we were actually able to relax and fully enjoy our day because we knew we were in the best hands possible. Our wedding day could not have gone more perfectly because of the relationship we built with Ivory + Stone, and the love we felt from Sarah throughout the entire day!

We will never be able to put into words how eternally grateful we are for Ivory & Stone for making…read moreour wedding day flawless. As someone that interviewed many planners in the San Diego area, they were a clear winner by a milestone. Their attention to detail and ability to bring your crazy vision to life is astounding and everything came out better than we ever could have dreamed. Sarah, our lead planner, was simply put, phenomenal. Her ability to anticipate your needs and thoughts was incredibly helpful, not to mention, just one of the loveliest, most genuine, and meticulously organized people you will ever meet. We are actually devastated our wedding is over and we don't have constant communication with her ha! If you have a vision, but need help executing, or don't know what pieces of the puzzle you're missing, Ivory & Stone is who you NEED to hire for your event!!! Cannot recommend their entire team enough, including Gaby for any and all styling :)

From the owner: My name is Jenny and I am the owner of Events By Jenny Smorzewski. I founded this business in…read more2015 after having served nearly 12 years in hospitality along with wrapping up a business degree from California State University San Marcos. Throughout the years of having received much encouragement from trusted friends, family and colleagues, it felt it very natural to be able to marry my education and my experience - and that is how my event planning business was born! I have been extremely fortunate to have worked in some of the worlds's most extravagant weddings and corporate galas at the Resort at Pelican Hill on the coast of Newport Beach. I like to think that experience is the basis of my success when coordinating special gatherings of all types and budgets as an independent party consultant these days. There is so much joy and honor in my job and I love to being to transfer my passion and my experience to my clients in the San Diego Area.

It was above and beyond what I expected and we enjoyed every minute of it! St. Patrick was a highlight for my son and husband who enjoyed his spot on Irish accent very much! The scavenger hunt was sweet and well thought out with very fun prizes at the end! Everyone made new friends, the petting zoo was great too! I made friends with one of the brand new goat babies they're very sweet and tiny! My husband held a couple snakes and my little guy had fun watching the tortoises eat! If your family want to have a great time I highly recommend visiting fort cross! Incredible Photo ops everywhere! Did I mention paint ball slingshot , tomahawk throwing and archery ? Well done and family fun great for bonding! We loved the very welcoming and compassionate owners! We are already planning our next visit back!

If you are looking around Julian for an activity outside of shopping, eating and apple picking; I…read morewould recommend Fort Cross Adventures. This family owned and built setup gives an old timey backyard feel with games ranging from treasure hunt, archery, ax throwing to a large garden/nursery. Like a large backyard it is all dirt paths with over grown trees & bushes so i would not come in high heels or nice shoes. The garden area is an "instagram" worthy spot for influencer photos as it is decorated with vintage photo frames, art, pottery giving it a rustic yet artsy feel. Pictures on yelp do the venue more justice than the companies website or TripAdvisor. Dates and hours are limited, as the family runs all aspects of Fort Cross. Highly recommend confirming they are open before just heading out. My one reservation or word of caution is with the archery. There are no forearm guards or finger protection offered. The bowstring with repetitive can possibly hurt your skin and cause of injuries.

Fairy Tale Wedding by Cherie!…read more I'm so grateful that we found Cherie. From day 1 when we had no idea what we were doing my hubby and I were so stressed with no idea where to start, Cherie was there for us to help us navigate the wedding planning process. We had a ton of ideas and she never once looked at us like we were crazy -- she maintained her calm, collected, positive attitude and offered us a ton of suggestions and ideas. She always made herself available to come to us and meet whenever we needed her via meetings/calls/texts. Cherie's expertise runs the full spectrum of anything wedding related and was even able to help us with florals herself - we can't thank her enough. Her detailed timelines allowed for an absolutely flawless wedding from start to finish, literally zero hiccups!!! If you want your dream wedding, you'll need Cherie. Thank you so much!

We had a GORGEOUS wedding in March 2015 filled with love and NO stress! Yes like NO stress! However…read moreit took some quality vendors to make this happen. I could say without a doubt it would never had been stress free or run so smoothly without the huge help of Jessica and her wonderful team aka her daughters (amazingness runs in the family). We were on a mission to find vendors who were able to work with us on flexibility and responsiveness. After a search high and low, I stumbled on Jessica! She really set our minds at ease and was super responsive. Never took very long to answer any questions or concerns we had. Her line of communication was always open. She also has a "I'm not a push over attitude" which is what you need in a wedding coordinator. She will get your vendors in line if any step out of line or are slacking or needs to be done right away. These were all great signs so we decided to go with Jessica as our day of coordinator. We spoke multiple times about what we expected and she covered all the bases even ones we totally didn't think about. The day of the wedding, we felt in good hands and the proof was in the pudding. Walking into the ballroom, I was taken back! The centerpieces and decor exceeded my expectations. She went above and beyond. It all was perfectly placed and beautiful. At some point before the reception, there was a little miscommunication with the DJ but she made it a point to make sure he understood our vision and not what HE thought was best. She is also truly thoughtful. For example, when she grabbed my flats from my emergency bridal bag and handed them to me when taking pictures walking around the venue. She did it without me asking or discussing that I would desperately need my flats. Jessica and her team had our backs and we felt it. Shoutout to her beautiful daughters who are just as thoughtful and sweet. Thank you ladies! So if you are debating whether or not to use Jessica as a coordinator, let me make this decision easy for you. Pick up the phone and give her a call as she is wonderful to work with. Thank you Jessica and team..a million x100. We can't thank you enough. Jessica & Steven Tran

Ok so Jessica was a GODSEND! After a friends failed/FLAKED attempt to host my baby shower Jessica…read morestepped in and took over everything I put all my trust in her hands and was blind to everything. I told her my theme of what I wanted (Enchanted Garden) and gave her a couple Pinterest pic ideas and she just nailed it! My baby shower was absolutely incredible! It was so awesome that I changed the name from "baby shower" to "baby wedding" because it was the most beautiful baby shower I or my friends and family have ever seen or been too! She is very crafty and made everything by hand. Everything that was there was authentic and original. She really puts a lot of time and thought into everything she does, she even goes above and beyond expectations. AND I am NOT exaggerating that at all because my boyfriend is the WORST! picky, boojie, fancy "Everything has to be perfect" worse than a bride on her wedding day kind of man. Let's just say when we walked in and saw what Jess had done, his jaw dropped! My baby wedding was such a memorable experience and I definitely owe it all to Jessica, and I'm positive she will do the same for you whether it be your wedding or baby wedding or whatever it is she can plan for you. She will NOT disappoint you. Some photos were taken by Yrsina @ycphotographsd check out her IG for inquiries.

My wife and I are extremely appreciative that Cara was part of our planning process, her Rolodex of vendors made the selection very streamlined and she continually went above and beyond to help make each of our requests happen without fail. The best example of Cara's determination and commitment to making our wedding perfect was when we decided late in the process that we wanted a late night gourmet coffee bar. Cara tracked down a vendor and even handled negotiating with our venue, because they had not previously allowed outside coffee. All of this happened behind the scenes and was completely stress free for us as the clients.
