They helped us craft our perfect signature cocktails and were super helpful every step of the planning process. From crafting our drink menu and building our shopping list, to the actual service during the wedding, everyone we worked with at Copper & Crystal was super kind and professional. Our guests, and most importantly the two of us, were able to get our drinks quickly all night long, and our signature cocktails were exactly what we wanted. A huge thanks to Copper & Crystal, their bar service team, and everyone at the company for helping make our wedding such a special night. We would highly recommend working with them if you are looking for a fun event with great drinks and better service.

I'm so lucky that we were recommended to Kellymarie and Gar-niche. She emails back immediately and is flexible with all your requests. While email was our only communication leading up to the wedding, meeting her in person on the day of the wedding was as if we already knew each other so well. She was such a great bartender, a total pro, and so creative with her drinks as well. We had a list of signature cocktails and she added her own personal touch to each of them. She helped us so much with creating the menu, the shopping list needed, and helping with all other questions I had. She helped make the night so fun, I hope we get to do it again sometime. I would easily recommend her for your event big or small. Cheers!

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.

We're so glad that when we look back at our wedding, we'll have Avenue Twelve to thank for making it look so beautiful. All of our guests talked about how perfect our wedding looked, and a lot of that credit goes to the team at Avenue Twelve and the pieces we chose from them.

Gabriella was very responsive and quickly answered all of my questions which I had a lot of.

She assisted with all of the pre-planning in the months leading up to the wedding and was amazing on our wedding weekend, helping us every step of the way to ensure it was a memorable and perfect day. Highly recommend Kay for your wedding coordination services!

Initially, I wasn't even considering hiring a planner, but the venue that I chose required it, so I went searching and ultimately found Kay. From the first conversation we had, she just "got it." The planning process was far more stressful than I ever could have imagined, but she split it up into manageable parts and helped put me at ease. She was reassuring and calm the entire time, like a supportive best friend or sister. Even with the crazy schedule she was managing at the time, she stayed on top of our communications and was always there for me. She recommended pretty much all of my vendors, and they were fantastic. Every recommendation she made was great. She has excellent taste and a lot of good contacts, so you can rest assured that your wedding will be flawless! Even when I had issues with my catering company (not her suggestion, the venue forced me to choose from a small, pre-selected list), she handled the situation with grace and professionalism. On the big day, she brought her mom and husband to help out, and they were so helpful and kind. During the outdoor ceremony, there was a LOT of wind, and Kay's mom was nice enough to keep the altar from tipping over! My wedding went off so smoothly and my husband and I were thrilled. Yes, there were a few small issues, as one would expect, but Kay's calm, reassuring demeanor helped me to not have a meltdown. Finally, her pricing is MORE than reasonable, given everything that she does. I mean, she really and truly does everything she can to make you happy, and she genuinely cares. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much, Kay!! Nick and I absolutely loved working with you, your team, and your vendors.
