Gina was my planner for our May 2026 wedding at Rancho Bernardo Inn, and she did an absolutely…read morefabulous job. From the very beginning, working with Gina gave me complete confidence that every question would be answered and every detail would be handled. On the wedding day itself, I never had to worry about a thing because I knew she had everything under control. Her strong working relationship with RBI was incredibly valuable throughout the planning process and made everything feel seamless. Since I'm not local to the San Diego area and didn't always have a clear vision of exactly what I wanted, Gina's recommendations and guidance were invaluable. Anytime I needed vendor suggestions, she immediately sent thoughtful recommendations, and whenever I wanted to dive deeper into details, she made it happen. We met in person multiple times leading up to the wedding weekend, and she helped bring all of the details together so beautifully. She was always available to answer texts or calls, which made the entire process feel so much less stressful. I really appreciated how Gina truly followed my lead and helped execute the vision we wanted. By the time the wedding weekend arrived, I didn't have to think twice about anything -- it all came together so perfectly, and it truly was the most wonderful weekend. I'm so grateful for everything Gina did to make our wedding such a special experience.

I've had the pleasure of working with Melissa from I Do Weddings and Events on several weddings,…read moreand every single time I find myself thinking, "This bride is so lucky to have Melissa!" She is incredibly professional, organized, kind, and truly one of the sweetest wedding planners I've ever worked with. She has such a calm, warm presence, which makes such a difference on a wedding day--not only for the couple and their families, but for all of us vendors working behind the scenes. Melissa works frequently at The Scripps Seaside Forum in La Jolla, and she knows this beautiful venue inside and out. Her experience there really shows in how smoothly everything comes together. I also have to mention her vendor recommendations. Everyone she brings onto her team is wonderful--professional, talented, and simply the best at what they do. As a wedding photographer, it is always such a pleasure to work alongside Melissa because I know the day will be beautifully organized and the couple will be very well taken care of. I highly recommend Melissa and I Do Weddings and Events to any couple looking for an experienced, caring, and genuinely wonderful wedding planner. She is an absolute gem!

Thomas Lewis, ladies & gentlemen! I feel like he needs no introduction and the biggest introduction…read moreat the same time. Back in 2019, we were looking for a wedding planner, but not just any wedding planner. For one, I'm a project manager, so I was fairly confident in my abilities to manage this epic project, but needed someone to help me with the unknowns along the way & bring my vision to life on the big day. I remember sifting through dozens of Google search results trying to find someone who fit the bill, and I was frustrated that most planners seemed unauthentic, overpriced, and so 'not us'. Then I stumbled on Thomas and he was the opposite in the best way. I could tell he knew weddings intimately, he was passionate about event planning, and his pricing was actually listed on his website. One quick call to seal the deal & we knew he was our guy! Throughout the process, Thomas guided us on the best and most efficient way to do things. He shared what has & hasn't worked at past weddings, made sure we were getting through all the fundamental contracts at the right times, and checked in on us when we felt like our to-do lists were never going to end. On the day of, he rocked our world! He was everywhere at once, solving small challenges with a smile and delighting guests with every interaction. The whole experience was even better than we could have ever imagined, and you know we imagined it a lot! I cannot say enough amazing things about Thomas! We actually hired him twice since COVID happened and we had to postpone our original wedding, and we were so thankful to have someone helping us navigate those unknowns too. You should definitely hire Thomas Lewis if you are looking for the full wedding planner package - calm, communicative, courteous, and supppppppper cute!

I'm so happy to say that we can look back at our wedding and just remember how thankful we are that we did so. A little info about me... I am an OCD perfectionist type of person, and when it came to planning our wedding- I would be stressed out about every little detail and our wedding timeline (the limited amount of hours we contracted with our venue was from 6 to 11 PM- we were worried that it was too short!). However, after meeting with Thomas and exchanging e-mails throughout the engagement, he eased the stress and definitely was there when we needed him. Thomas is professional, experienced, reliable, easy to reach, detail-oriented, organized, and just an awesome wedding coordinator. Thomas was there during important meetings/appointments. We went over details during our menu tasting with our venue and I remember my husband (fiancé at the time) mentioning how much he appreciated Thomas because he asked our venue questions that we did not even think of. We met again with Thomas about a month before the big day, and he helped us organize final details and our final timeline. Thomas gave us his advice and his opinions when we needed it. Thomas was at our rehearsal day on time and ran our rehearsal SO smoothly (mind you, I had a huge Filipino wedding; for the ceremony we had: 6 pairs of godparents, 2 grandparents, 2 ushers, 1 dog, 3 flowergirls, 2 ringbearers, 9 bridesmaids, 9 groomsmen, our parents, plus the groom and I. I don't know if that was his first ginormous bridal party, but if it was- oh my goodness, I don't know how he did it!) On the wedding day, Thomas and his assistant Olivia stopped by the Bridal Suite when I was getting my make-up done, said his hello's, and was off to do what he does best. I trusted them with everything and was NOT stressed out AT ALL on our wedding day! He would check up on my husband and I a few times throughout the evening to make sure we were at ease with everything, and we were... ALL BECAUSE OF HIM! Our friends and family even mentioned to us that Thomas is not only funny/friendly, but that he definitely knew what he was doing. Our wedding ran on schedule/time like we planned so! My husband and I were just so happy that everything ran smoothly and that our wedding turned out so beautiful. We are just pleased that everyone had a great time! DO NOT HESITATE TO BOOK THOMAS! You will have no regrets! Thomas, THANK YOU (x1000000000) so much for taking charge, dealing with our OCD-ness, and for coordinating our dream wedding. It was everything we wished for and more... we wish we could relive our wedding day all over again!

What truly set her apart was her communication. She was always available to answer questions, offer guidance, and provide updates.

I really wasn't going to write a review but my bridesmaids, family members and even a few vendors…read moreurged me to do this due to the way I was feeling through this process. I chose Sara because I immediately loved her outgoing personality and felt we clicked. She was kind during our meetings, and I truly believe she wanted my wedding to be successful. Unfortunately, as planning progressed, I often felt like I was doing much of the coordination myself. Several details from our meetings were forgotten, vendors frequently contacted me directly with questions, and I ended up handling tasks that I had expected my coordinator to manage. The biggest example was collecting vendor insurance for the venue, which I had forwarded to Sara months in advance but ultimately had to gather myself just days before the wedding. On the wedding day, there were also several communication issues. Some décor wasn't set up as outlined in my planning documents, guests weren't directed to sign our guest book, and my bridesmaids often stepped in to help coordinate. I had nine bridesmaids ready to assist, but they shared that when they asked where things should go or how to complete certain tasks, they were often met with uncertainty or dismissive responses rather than direction. Several members of my bridal party and family also commented that Sara seemed overwhelmed or disengaged, which made it feel like my wedding wasn't a priority. This was the BIGGEST issue. Everyone makes mistakes but to treat others as if they are a bother and that you rather be somewhere else...that's not good at all. I also noticed my wedding wasn't showcased on her Instagram like others. No pictures taken like her other events she put on her social media. I'm assuming I wasn't someone who fit into her aesthetic. That said, I truly appreciate that Sara showed up and helped keep the day moving. Wedding coordination is a demanding job, and I wish her nothing but success as she continues to grow in her business. I also want to give a special thank you to her assistant, SARAH DOWLING. She was incredibly kind, personable, proactive, and always looking for ways to help. She went above and beyond for both my bridal party and my guests, and her support made a huge difference on our wedding day. She is the reason why I am giving this business 3 stars instead of 2. And the fact that regardless of her attitude, Sara W still showed up. Overall, I believe Sara Waldrop has potential, but my experience left me wishing for stronger communication, follow-through, and attention to detail. I hope this feedback helps her continue to grow, and I genuinely wish her the best!

She also filled the viet gift trays with xoi gac, banh phe the, trau cau, tea, wine, and fruits for additional cost. We did have a slight misunderstanding on the overall pricing of the fill-in package mainly because the communication was done via text messaging. Therfore, it's best to call, talk in person, or make clear confirmations over text to ensure clear communication. All in all, the trays are absolutely modern and beautiful and all the fill-ins look and taste wonderfully great. The Vietnamese bridal dress is so beautiful as well. Vicky was able to deliver the trays herself prior to the wedding, something we really appreciated! I highly recommend working with Vicky for your wedding needs.

Heather was wonderful from our very first call, and we appreciated having the flexibility to choose between partial or full planning. During our first in-person meeting, she helped us identify what mattered most in selecting our venue. We ultimately chose partial planning based on our venue, Kijamii Overlook at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, and she found us incredible vendors to complete our day. As we got closer to the wedding, I couldn't have imagined how grateful I would be to have Heather to rely on. She kept us on track with every little detail and was always ready with a thoughtful opinion whenever we had questions. On the day of our wedding, Heather and Ava were absolutely fantastic! I was able to trust them completely to set up our decorations exactly as I had envisioned, while we enjoyed getting ready and sharing our first look. Throughout the reception, Heather made sure we actually got to eat, including trying our appetizers and sitting down to enjoy our dinner.

Heather and Ajji worked with a high level of attention to detail to get everything set up, which allowed us to truly relax and soak in the entire wedding weekend, from the rehearsal through the big day. Everything ran smoothly, and Ajji handled all the moving parts behind the scenes. Christophe is an incredible photographer and made us feel completely at ease throughout the day. He captured everything perfectly and was an absolute pleasure to work with. Overall, we couldn't have asked for a better team to bring our wedding to life. If you're looking for a group that is organized, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in making your day special, we can't recommend them highly enough!

I really enjoyed working with Diana and Kendra and the whole At Your Side Planning Team!…read more We chose the microwedding package and they were able to customize some items for us based on our preferences such as our own florals and some more chairs for extra guests. If you are planning to have a beach wedding, they were the perfect blend of month of coordination as well as planning and setup for the beach wedding. They are very organized and were able to give us a timeline with deadlines that kept us on track during the planning process. They also had good tips from their experiences with other weddings when we had questions. The micro packages are definitely more for couples who are ok with doing more active planning themselves, they give you suggestions of local vendors but the couple has to reach out to obtaining pricing and discuss specific details. They also do full service planning but we opted to do more things ourselves as we had fewer details to plan and fewer guests. It is very helpful for the day of coordination that they will have multiple coordinators to set up the ceremony site and the reception site which is often 2 different locations.

About a year out, we booked with Diana, the owner, who hopped on a couple of calls with us, shared a super helpful timeline template for when to get things done, and gave us a fantastic list of vendor recommendations. Then, two months before the wedding (not just a month out like most services), Diana and Robin (our on-site coordinator) got fully caught up on where we were, helped us tackle last-minute to-do's, reminded us of a few details we'd overlooked, and made sure every "t" was crossed and every "i" dotted. On our wedding weekend, Robin was simply amazing. She handled absolutely everything behind the scenes so we could stay present and enjoy the day. There were countless little things she did that we'll never forget, but the biggest takeaway is this: because of her, we had a stress-free wedding. Our guests and even our other vendors kept telling us it was one of the most fun weddings they'd ever attended. We are so grateful for Diana and Robin's expertise, warmth, and professionalism. Highly, highly recommend At Your Side Planning!
