Of course, with her by our side, we got it sorted and all went beautifully. She was also just incredibly nice, accommodating and fun to work with. When we had crazy ideas (boats, jell-o shots, etc.), she worked with us to make them happen.

Brenda…read morewas our Month of Coordinator and she went ABOVE AND BEYOND.First of all, they did not oversell themselves...I told them what I had already accomplished before even calling them and they said, "you only need month of coordination. you've got this." However, a few months before the wedding I was so overwhelmed with all the detail that Brenda offered to meet and she just helped me organized my priorities and made me feel really good about the progress I had made. She did the same 6 weeks later. OMG, so helpful to keep me going and manage the overwhelm. As the date grew nearer, she started leading more to ensure we took care of those horrible details (seating charts, signage, communication with vendors, table set ups, and the timeline, etc). At every moment she was calm, lovely, relatable, fun, reassuring, and extremely competent. The week before the wedding she came over and took ownership of all the "stuff" (candles, ceremony items, decorations, etc). That felt sooo good. She was great at the rehearsal and made sure "all the cats were herded"so we got through the rehearsal and worked out all the details. The day of the wedding? We were so relaxed and didn't think about a single thing. The tables were set exactly as we had discussed, the ambiance was amazing, every little detail she had taken care of. and then she cleaned up and stored everything for us and then brought it back to us a couple of days later. During the wedding, Brenda was a total ninja....I barely saw her at the wedding as she was in the background making it all happen so we could enjoy our guests. A guest even took a picture of her that makes her look like the super hero she is, LOL! You will LOVE working with Brenda. I cannot recommend her more vigorously. She is amazing.

This review is solely based on a phone conversation I had with Rosemary…read more I called asking about Day-Of Coordinators for a Sonoma wedding (which is required by a venue that I'm considering). Rosemary Events doesn't actually offer DOC, and after chatting with me and realizing that I didn't have the budget for a full Wedding planner, she graciously spent at least 30 minutes talking with me and giving me advice. I can't fully explain how helpful she was when she did not have to spend the time or energy helping me at all. She is obviously a true professional and a really kind person. If I had a budget that could even partially afford her services, I'd use her in a heartbeat!

Our catering company has had the pleasure of working with Rosemary on many occasions, ranging from…read moreintimate winery weddings to very large weddings with extremely involved production. Regardless of the event, we know it will be orchestrated smoothly if Rosemary and her team are running the show. Perhaps it's her background in movie production, but Rosemary is never rattled and has a plan in place for every possible eventuality. Her events always look fresh and amazing as well and she collaborates with the best designers in the business. If you want to have a fantastic wedding day a great first stop will be contacting Rosemary Events.

Khadija and her team are the best! We initially weren't sure if we wanted to have a Coordinator for…read moreour wedding but I can't imagine what a mess the day would have been without the Limelight team. From the beginning, Khadija made the experience so fun and painless with weekly check-ins, a very thorough spreadsheet, and one-on-one correspondence with our vendors. She really took the time to understand our priorities, the feel of the wedding, and reassured us that we were even ahead of schedule. Once we reached the weekend wedding, I was completely overwhelmed with all of the people around and activities ahead, but knew I was in such good hands with Khadija and her team! They met us for a rehearsal the day before the wedding and were so patient and detail-oriented with the entire rehearsal process. The day of the wedding, I knew I just needed to show up and follow directions and that everything would go smoothly. And it did! The day was so amazing, beyond what I could have imagined, all because Limelight was there to work directly with the vendors, set up décor, and keep us on schedule. I would recommend them to anyone and everyone!

We have so much to thank Limelight & Khadija's team for…read more When we started planning & reaching out to wedding planners/coordinators, we had two main requirements: 1, Our planner had to be very familiar & comfortable with South Asian weddings. 2, Our planner had to be very comfortable with queer couples. When we met Khadija, we were immediately the most comfortable we'd felt with any other planners/coordinators we'd met with. Khadija guided us through the processes and checklists, and made sure we had options for other vendors that we were fully comfortable with. We were married on Nov 12, 2022, in what was going to be a fully outdoor, 150-person wedding in Nevada City, CA. Four days before our wedding, a totally unexpected snowstorm dropped four feet of snow, and we had to completely pivot everything we had planned for the past 15 months of weekly calls with Khadija. Khadija was an absolute rockstar. She was in constant communication with us - reaching out to additional vendors, the venue owner, the photographers, etc. Her calm & confident approach to a totally chaotic situation made all the difference. In the end, we got so many comments from guests about how beautifully everything came together, despite the wild circumstances. We were so grateful we had Khadija's team guiding through the day and the weekend, and we cannot recommend her enough.

Katie herself: Katie is a great listener, she took her time to get to know us and our style. She knows when to ask us for our approvals and when to just run with it. She is never overbearing, she never add any stress to the process, she only takes away stress. She truly cares about her clients, she really has your back! She is REALLY hard working but never complains. She is organized, efficient, and has amazing taste. My bridesmaid + groomsman were all really impressed with Katie as well. It is hard to summarize how much I love Katie. Planning service: We did Katie's partial planning option. We did the primary research on our venue and vendors, but we also went with a lot of Katie's recommended vendors (which are all top notch). Katie was there to consult with us along the way, and she met with our venue point of contact. She made sure we had hire all the vendors we needed, our floor plans made sense, our rentals are correct, etc etc. When it came closer to the wedding, Katie sends us a long document to fill out. After that she took over and told us that we don't have to do any more planning, and that we should just focus on relaxing and having fun! On the day of the wedding, Katie and her team got the rental equipment and set up everything. She later revealed that there were a lot of unforeseen issues with the rental, but when we showed up to the venue, everything was perfect and we had no idea that any issues had happened earlier. Katie took care of all the complications, and didn't show an ounce of tiredness. Katie was super organized, kept everybody in line and made sure we stayed on schedule. Everything was perfect. Floral + design service: We gave Katie our style and vision and she just ran with it. A lot of our guest complimented on how stylish the wedding was, and it was 100% Katie and team. The bridal bouquet that she put together was beautiful and unique. The center pieces looked effortlessly stylish. We were so impressed, Katie is amazingly talented. Thank you Katie and team! We appreciate everything that you do!

I plan plenty of events through my work, so planning my own wedding wasn't a big deal. However, I knew I needed help on the day of my wedding so I can actually experience it as a bride. I didn't want to task my friends with responsibility because I wanted them to enjoy the night, too. I reached out to a few wedding planners and decided to hire Katie Rebecca Events for my Day of Planner. Katie was amazing to work with! We met two months before the wedding to discuss my vision and my needs. She was generous with her time and advice from the get go! Throughout the process leading up to the event we talked on the phone and met in person to ensure that I was 100% comfortable and confident. The wedding night went flawlessly. All of the guests had an amazing time and I am so glad I got to experience it without stress or worries. I would highly recommend Katie to anyone getting married!!!

I hired her as our month of coordinator for my wedding at Marin Art and Garden Center in Ross, CA (North Bay). Both of us agree that our wedding could not have been the way it was, perfect and memorable, without her help, assistance, and coordination. Our friends and family kept saying how lovely things were and a lot of it can be attributed to how Narine was able to coordinate with all the vendors and take what I wanted in our discussions and make them into reality. If you need any wedding coordination skills, she is simply the best!

Review This team is NO. FREAKING. JOKE!!!…read more I had my wedding on May 11th and the day couldn't have gone more perfect, and that's thanks to this team. Jessica & LaShawna are freaking stars! The planning process was seamless. I was so impressed with the attention to detail at the wedding venue walkthrough. We walked the entire venue, bounced ideas off each other for placement of every single item, and built a schematic. They even measured the venue to know exact placement of tables, chairs, etc. Planning the wedding was so easy/smooth thanks to the planning tools and check ins. Our rehearsal was straight to the point and very easy. We didn't need the full two hours allotted by our venue because they were on top of everything! Then came the wedding day. Our bridal salon overlooked the venue, so we were able to see the progress throughout the day. THEY WORK HARD!! and I mean, they pay attention to every single little detail to make sure the place looks beautiful and perfect. It was so impressive, we all couldn't stop talking about it. The wedding day went seamless, on time, and without a single issue. Jessica and LaShawna were there every step of the way, speaking to each other through their own personal headpieces. If anything came up or if I had any questions, they were there and ready to help where needed. My wedding wouldn't have gone as well as it did without them, I promise. I feel so grateful to have had the best team out there!! We also decided to hire the CLE House cleanup crew which was fantastic as well! Janet did a great job and cleaning/tidying up fast and making sure we got back all of our stuff. Thank you so much for being the reason why my wedding day went so perfectly CLE House!!!

On top of the day of coordination, she includes check-ins months prior, a venue walkthrough and rehearsal coordination which I found extremely valuable to keep myself on track and have her really get to know my vision. She will ask questions you didn't even think about! Based on my specific experience, it was generally stellar but a few marks were missed at the beginning of the big day. Without an assistant, she was fully occupied with setting up decor downstairs so the prime management of multiple hand-offs, dealing with vendors arriving at once, crossing off key happenings on the timeline was not entirely covered. Otherwise, the wedding would of been near perfect. At the end of the day, she genuinely cares about her brides and works hard to make your dreams come to life.
