Nahid was truly a one stop shop for everything we needed in the 12 months it took to plan our…read morewedding. Nahid provided such a calming presence at all times, ensuring me that she was always one step ahead of me. Before I could even express concern about something that I was not sure that we had started, she would let me know that she had already begun the process and not to worry. Communication is key when it comes to planning any event, and Nahid made it a priority to answer my calls, my texts, and if she couldn't in that moment, she made sure to make arrangements to follow up with me at her earliest convenience. On the day of the wedding, Nahid and her team were on the floor before the first vendors arrived and until the last vendor left. I couldn't be more grateful for Nahid and her team, and hopefully we will be working on future events together!

Nahid helped us plan our Venetian Masquerade Wedding in 2023 and she was amazing! She paid special…read moreattention to every detail and managed all of the vendors with a deft and expert hand - from the circus performers to burlesque dancers, to the string quartet and band, to the furniture and decor vendors, to working with the hotel. She was able to make our rather unorthodox wedding come alive to perfection! We can't thank her enough. And her team had everything covered and took great care of us through three outfit changes for each of us with coordinating hair, makeup, jewelry, and Venetian masks, and an extra costume change for me to surprise my partner with a performance at our wedding. We never would have been able to pull off such an intricate, unique night for us and all of our guests without her and her team! If you want someone to help you realize your vision for your event and knock he event out of the park, then I recommend that you call Nahid now!

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.

If you want someone who will make your day everything you've ever hoped for, then you will want to work with Susanne!

I was really disappointed and frustrated in my experience working with Kira. Around 2.5 months…read morebefore my wedding, I reached out to her but she was unresponsive to my email and calls. I was finally able to reach her two weeks later, and she asked me to send her a list of all my vendors again (even though I had already forwarded her all my vendor contracts and information before). Kira did not follow through with my vendors according to the timeline we had agreed upon, and I was uncertain as to when I would be able to get my draft timeline from her. When I expressed my concern and frustration, Kira said that since she was hired for day of, her talking to me two months prior to the wedding was a bonus that she was doing for me, and I should not expect to get a timeline until 2 weeks before the wedding. This seemed irresponsible to me, since when I booked her she had said she was free for calls and texts anytime leading up to the wedding. She said that I was unsympathetic towards personal things that came up for her. I felt like it was unprofessional for her to be telling me about personal things in her life that was causing a disruption in her ability to deliver upon her commitment as a coordinator. I ended up hiring a different coordinator who is also day-of. This coordinator said she always works with her clients 8 weeks before the wedding, creates the timeline 6 weeks beforehand, communicates with vendor 3 weeks beforehand and finalizes everything 1 week beforehand. This was exactly the kind of clarity and responsibility I wanted in a coordinator, and I am afraid that Kira did not deliver on this at all for me.

Kira was great to work with. This is from a vendor side which is also really important! haha Our…read morephoto booth got booked just days before a wedding as a gift for a high end client where Kira just ran with it and made it happen for us. Things were all ready when we got there and she checked on us a few times throughout the day to make sure if we needed anything. From things like making sure the places we neat ant tightly to making sure the vendors were taken care of and fed, it's so appreciated from our side. Pleasure to work with her and her team. We have worked with a lot of coordinators and other vendors in the past and it's always great to see people who get it and are just Team Bride & Groom. The result at the end is a event that goes really smooth for the bride and groom and that's what it's all about! Must have been extra stressful to add something the night before the wedding but glad it all work out! Thanks Sweetest Things in Life Events & Kira!

We cannot say enough great things about the Lavish Wedding Team, and especially Gabriela! From the…read moremoment we met Gabriela, it was clear that she wasn't just a wedding planner--she was someone deeply invested in making our wedding day a reflection of us as a couple. She took the time during our very first meeting to ask about our personal story--how we met, how my husband proposed, and what made our relationship unique. This was something no other planner had done, and it immediately made us feel like we were in the hands of someone who truly cared. She has become more than just a wedding planner, and is now one of our friends. Our wedding was a beautiful blend of two distinct cultures, and Lavish went above and beyond to ensure that every detail honored both of our traditions in a way that felt seamless and cohesive. Gabriela found creative ways to incorporate elements of each culture into the decor, ceremony, and reception, making our celebration not just special, but incredibly personal. Her thoughtful approach to merging these cultural elements was absolutely perfect, and we were so grateful for the care she took to ensure everything felt authentic and meaningful. On top of all that, the Lavish team was incredibly attentive to every last detail. There were a few last-minute challenges on the day of the wedding, and they handled them with such grace and professionalism that we didn't have to worry about a thing. If you're looking for a wedding planning team who will go above and beyond to make your day as special as it can be, look no further than Lavish.

Hands down the best wedding planner we could've ever asked for! It was sheer perfection! I had a…read morevision from the start and Gabriela executed it 100%. From the planning process to day of coordinating, you will be in great hands. My husband even said that the day-of coordinating was one of the best things he's ever experienced.

Everyone always says something goes wrong on wedding day, but I truly cannot think of anything that went wrong. 10/10 recommend the Lavish team!

She knew when to ramp up our frequency of meetings and she also knew when to tell us to relax and not worry about stuff. We like that she comes with the aisle planner software and lets us access it. She provided a thorough checklist for us with indications of when an item on the list should be completed by. She was very accessible and we knew we could count on her to respond quickly even if our question was not urgent. As our florist in addition to our planner, she helped a lot with some last-minute florals that we wanted to do and made sure everything happened very smoothly. When we couldn't find any freshly squeezed juice near me Melissa was eager to help and make sure we had that by the time of the wedding. Everyone was impressed at how quickly the venue was able to transform between the different stages of the wedding and how knowledgeable Melissa was. We really appreciated about how Melissa joined us in our vendor meetings and kept in touch with them for us. We definitely would've gotten overwhelmed if we did not have Melissa.

Every detail was thoughtfully handled, and nothing was overlooked. The level of care and attention they brought to every aspect of the day was incredible. Even the smallest details that mattered deeply to us were executed flawlessly. Throughout the day, we felt completely taken care of. Their calm professionalism allowed us to be fully present and enjoy every moment with our family and friends. Rachel even made a mid-dinner stain on my dress disappear as if it had never happened. And while we know they can't technically control the weather, we're still convinced they found a way to turn an 85% chance of rain into the most beautiful sunny day imaginable. We are endlessly grateful for the care, creativity and heart they brought to our wedding. It was everything we dreamed of and more, and we couldn't have imagined a better team by our side.

They were setting up for another wedding there and I loved every part of it and had to get their card. From the very beginning they made the entire planning process feel easy and organized. Their use of Aisle Planner was incredibly helpful. We loved that it allowed us to have multiple logins for family members and let us keep track of all contracts, timelines, and details in one place. Molly and Rachel were always quick to respond to any questions we had and they kept us on track every step of the way. I never felt like I had to check in or worry about what needed to be done because I knew they would let us know exactly when something needed attention. They know Scripps Seaside Forum so well and gave us the best vendor recommendations. We truly loved every single referral they provided. Even once peak wedding season began, we never felt overlooked. They continued to be responsive and attentive, even on weekends when they were busy working other weddings. Molly and Rachel are professional, organized, knowledgeable, and have such a great eye for design. On our wedding day when the weather unexpectedly changed, they made the transition to Plan B feel seamless. They gave me their honest opinion about what would make our guests most comfortable and create the best experience given the circumstances, which I appreciated so much. I truly could not recommend Molly and Rachel enough. They made the planning process so much easier and helped us feel completely taken care of from start to finish.

If you are incredibly Type A, already have your entire vision nailed down (aka me), and THINK you…read moredon't need a coordinator - think again, and hire Jenny. I showed up to our first meeting with a slide deck full of vision boards (I'm not joking). She executed my vision to PERFECTION, was so responsive and professional, and thought of all the nitty-grittiest little details to make everything come together SEAMLESSLY. My husband and I hired her to coordinate our September 2021 reception, and boy was she a life saver! We eloped a month prior to our reception, and I was able to hand over everything to Jenny before then to completely focus on enjoying this time. This included a VERY unresponsive bartending company, who - I kid you not - Jenny must have called, emailed, texted, sent smoke signals, etc. dozens of times to make sure that everything was perfect for our reception. This review is long overdue, but I cannot recommend Jenny enough! Do yourself a favor and hire her ASAP.

We planned our "destination" wedding in San Diego from Denver and it proved to be way too stressful for me to put together on my own. Sheila saved the day.

Sheila made herself available by phone, text, and/or e-mail whenever I had questions, requests, or just needed some advice throughout the entire wedding planning process and I could not have imagined my big day going so smoothly without her. Sheila went above and beyond my own expectations by extending the help of her own family when I needed to drop some things off for our reception the night before. She happily put everything together exactly the way I wanted it even though I just threw almost everything cluttered in boxes.
