We selected the…read morepartial planning package with a design folio add-on and loved being able to customize our options so we only paid for what we actually needed. Leading up to the big day, Kate kept all of our vendors and the wedding party perfectly aligned. On the day of, the KWE team executed our vision flawlessly--from setting up every detail to seamlessly moving our decor from the ceremony deck down to the estate cave. They even packed up and stored all of our decor and florals afterward so we could fully enjoy the after-party without a worry. Thank you, KWE, for making our wedding the best day of our lives!

There was a time when having a wedding planner was considered a luxury afforded only to couples…read morewith deep pockets. (Or couples who had parents with deep pockets.) I beg to differ. In my opinion, having a wedding planner was a necessity and one I would advise other brides to have, even if it means scaling back on other costs for your wedding reception. For me personally, having a wedding planner was the difference between me just being able to "pull off" my reception and me being able to enjoy it. To save some money, I hired KWE for month of/day of coordination rather than full event planning (though they were available from the get-go for contract help, referrals and all-around advice). The month before my event, Kate swooped in and took care of all the details: designing the layout of the venue, coordinating with the vendors, etc. The week before, day before and the day of she took care of everything! She picked up supplies, was on hand to greet and coordinate with other vendors, did setup and cleanup, delivered items to my house after the reception, helped keep the party on track and so much more! I am not sure if there were any snafus (though I am sure there were, how couldn't there have been?) because if there were, she took care of them on the spot. She even jumped into action when I spilled red wine on my gown early in the evening. I really, really, really cannot emphasize enough how wonderful it was to have Kate and her team on board. I strongly advise you to consider hiring her for your event.

This review is long overdue! I had the pleasure of having Niangi as my wedding planner for my…read moreAugust 2019 wedding. Without her by my side, I really don't know how it would have all came together. Niangi is passionate about her work as a planner. She has an eye for design, is very forthright and honest about what is doable under the set budget, and will be as flexible as possible to make everything just as you want it to be on your special day. For me, I wanted to have a large scale wedding (about 275 people) at the lowest cost possible. This was not an easy task! Planning can be very stressful, but Niangi stepped up and took care of finding and booking rentals and vendors based on our needs. Her ability to connect and network with others in the wedding industry helped me find an affordable photo booth, caterer, mariachi, and rental company. Niangi also walked me through the design aspect, and we came up with a color scheme that was simple, beautiful, and affordable (lots of natural greens and whites). I think it is Niangi's passion and drive that makes her a wonderful choice as a wedding planner. She makes things happen and always makes herself available to her clients. I also really appreciate all the times she came to me with solutions and how quick she was on her feet. For example, on my wedding night the margarita machine that we rented for the bar broke down. She was quick to round up the bartenders and update to the drink menu. Soon enough, my guests were drinking "the best" strawberry margaritas they've ever had lol. I appreciated the quick problem solving, and the fact I didn't notice a thing! My wedding day was beautiful, and our guests had a wonderful time. Most importantly, from start to finish, the planning and execution of my wedding was smooth and easy. I know I couldn't have done this without Niangi's experience and expertise as a wedding planner! If you are looking for someone to help you plan your wedding, I recommend reaching out to Niangi to see if she is a good fit for you too.

Our experience with Niangi and Alore Vaye started off promising when we hired her nine months…read morebefore our wedding. She appeared confident and assured us she could handle all our requests. She impressed us with her organization skills, using detailed Excel sheets to manage timelines, vendors, and shopping lists. Niangi accompanied us to tour our venue, caterer tastings, and even joined us to recreate a favorite drink with our bartender. However, our optimism quickly faded on the actual day of our wedding. During our ceremony, Niangi seemed overwhelmed and stressed, which unfortunately reflected in her work throughout the day. Details we had meticulously planned were overlooked. Despite discussing and agreeing on family seating arrangements the night before, Niangi's oversight led to our families being placed on the wrong sides. This forced us into an awkward last-minute adjustment coming down the aisle. The most heartbreaking moment came when we discovered the memorial piece to be placed on a seat to honor my wife's late grandmother was missing. Niangi couldn't find it and decided to move forward with us walking down the aisle with it missing, without our approval. Moving to the reception, her team was running behind and the lack of coordination became apparent. We faced issues like guests waiting in their cars due to a closed gate that her team neglected to open promptly. Once inside, guests were left without direction or welcoming. There was confusion about when guests could enter and enjoy the games we had out. When it was time for our grand entrance, guests were scattered, contrary to our planned two-line formation with champagne glasses for a toast. Niangi failed to instruct guests or ensure they had their glasses in hand, resulting in us not being able to do our grand entrance toast. Remnants from our lunch ceremony were still left out when reception guests arrived, a testament to the lack of cleanup and preparation. Additionally, despite our efforts in purchasing decorations like pool decorations with floating boards, none of it was set up. Because of Niangi's late arrival on rental delivery day, we ended up with wrong or janky items. If she had been there to do a quality check, we wouldn't have been charged for the subpar items. Several of our friends and family members reported instances where Niangi displayed a dismissive and unprofessional attitude when approached for assistance. It was disheartening to hear these comments from our loved ones, especially since we had entrusted her with such an important day. Upon returning from our honeymoon, we received feedback from multiple guests about the disorganization and unprofessional conduct at our wedding. This feedback was embarrassing for us, as we had hoped for a seamless and memorable celebration. Despite Niangi's team, particularly the bartender Renee, receiving praise for their kindness and attentiveness, it does not overshadow the overall disappointment we feel. Niangi overpromised, underdelivered, and overcharged. We feel obligated to share our experience to caution future couples.

From our very first meeting, her passion, creativity, and attention to detail were clear--and the final result was beyond anything we could have dreamed. She took the time to understand our style, our cultural traditions, and the overall aesthetic we were going for--and then elevated it to a whole new level. The set up was absolutely breathtaking, with florals arranged so thoughtfully it felt like something out of a dream. The aisle, the centerpieces, the welcome decor--it was all cohesive, elegant, and completely us. We highly recommend Nikki and NC Event Designs!

I'm sorry but as much as I've tried to get past this it will always haunt me…read more Sandy was hired by my mother for my wedding August 2, 2025. I wish I could give a better rating but I just can't, had she not taken a back seat approach I would have. I'm sure Sandy will leave something to contradict everything I have written but honestly I just wish she would have been way more professional and not let her feelings affect my big day. I am usually a high rater when I do reviews and most of my other reviews reflect that. I've written many over the years so if I'm writing a review, there's a reason. I'm not going to sit here and draw out a big list so message me if you'd like the 411. The ceremony was pretty good other than the guests being out in the hot sun for 20 minutes , I'll give her that. As for the reception , i didn't know is the videographer didn't have the video montage that all our parents were working with him on and Sandy didn't want my mom to fix it. Sandy was in a bad mood due to this and was pouting and my husband, my mother and I paid the price. She is still upset about things, understandably so. The reception started out good until sunset/golden hour photos. I was given zero instruction for this, there was no communication whatsoever and there should have been. When it was running longer for whatever reason my mom wanted to wrap up the photos yet Sandy said no. Sandy repeatedly didn't listen to my mother even though she paid her and even tipped her at the end. I will admit initially our response was everything was fine but after we sat with it, it just wasn't. Bottom line- time taking photo after photo could have been cut short and I could have gotten to mingle with my guests. Some of them flew from far away to make it to our wedding. I'll never get that back and that saddens me most. I've been told by guests that while they had a decent time, they wish they got to spend time with us. Most did not get any time with us. Edited to add: communication, and delivery should have been better, all of it was severely lacking. Both my husband and I have tried to contact Sandy about our concerns. Not once did she really listen. I wish she would have been professional but she just was not. This is the honest truth of how things turned out. She also trashed my mother and my maid of honor online and would not take down her post until my mom told her that my friend has a disability Why am I writing this now? I'd written something like this a while back ago but decided to take it down, but now I think that some time has passed I can write a version that reads better. So my advice: proceed with caution. There a reason she only has 12 reviews.

Going into the process, we had no idea what we didn't know. Things like vendors, day of logistics, even how our wedding parties would organize themselves on our wedding day was a mystery to us and having Sandy in our corner helped us in a million ways. Her connections in the wedding industry helped us narrow down and select vendors with ease. She secured us a last minute photo booth which ended being a huge highlight of our night. It even rained on our wedding day, right before our outdoor ceremony, but Sandy was on top of everything and organized guests to help dry and reset our venue behind the scenes. Our wedding was amazing and we owe so much of that to Sandy. I dont make many yelp reviews but our experience with Strings & Champagne Events was so positive that I had to log in and recommend this to anyone looking to host an event in the NorCal area. Thanks again Sandy, you helped us create so many memories that will last a lifetime.

Cannot say and rave enough about Michelle and her amazing crew!! I've known Michelle for about 7…read moreyears now and I must say it's been a true pleasure seeing her blossom into an assertive, compassionate, understanding, detail-oriented, accountable professional who puts her whole heart into each and every event. From the initial stages of creating a timeline and hiring wedding vendors that met OUR wedding vision and expectations until well after the wedding, Michelle made sure that every detail was accounted for, no matter how big or small. And I highlight "OUR" wedding vision and expectations because unfortunately many vendors try to mainstream weddings (menus, décor, music, etc.) to the point that it's difficult to add your own flair to your wedding, especially important, unique, cultural traditions like I tried to do. However, Michelle took this challenge as an opportunity and demonstrated to us how well developed her networking and business skills are. On the day of my wedding both of us cried. I cried because my special day was everything I envisioned and more. Not trying to be cliché, but it was TRULY picture perfect! I wouldn't have changed a single thing about it! And Michelle cried because she was happy for me, I guess! Kidding. To me Michelle crying was a reflection of how passionate she is about her work. So many guests were impressed by Michelle and her team that they immediately asked for her contact information. Michelle is unlike any other wedding-industry professional! Her team will work endlessly and if there are any problems, big or small, like running out of tequila for the margaritas because they're so darn good, they will handle it in a way that you won't even stress or know about it! So excited for Blossoming Events! Best wishes on your continued endeavors!!

I do not know where to begin with Michelle, but she is incredible. Aside from her wedding planning…read morebusiness, I have known Michelle for years. We used to be co-workers and when I told her that I was getting married she offered to help plan our wedding because she was looking into venturing into her own business. I WOULD HAVE BEEN LOST WITHOUT HER. Wedding planning is long, tedious, and exhausting- of course it has perks- but overall it is overwhelming. Michele helped me with everything from renting the bar to picking out the perfect linens. She set me up with a fabulous cake lady, and she was right along side me when we went cake tasting. I had a vision in my head of what the wedding should look like and I am known to be a control freak and a stress case. The day of the wedding arrived and I was anxiously suspicious as to why I had not received a single phone call from anyone asking questions about what they should be doing. I spent the morning getting my hair and make up done and tanning. At one point I could not contain my nerves and I text Michelle and asked what was going on and if I needed to do anything. She text me back and said that I didn't need to worry about anything and to simply enjoy myself. I have never felt so relaxed! the moment I walked into my venue and saw how exquisitely Michelle had executed my vision it brought tears to my eyes! Michelle went above and beyond to make sure my day was filled with memories and joy! I would recommend her to anyone, she has a ton of experience, she is a hard worker, reliable, and all around a beautiful human being. If you are looking for a planner for your event don't hesitate to call Michelle!

Day of she was two steps ahead of everything, and due to her diligent advance planning, was able to easily make our vision come alive, and the day was seamless - even in 110 degree heat!

The day of my wedding I was able to just enjoy the day. I did not have any stress and I didn't get bombarded with a million questions because Kayla took care of everything. During the wedding she made sure all the vendors delivered what they needed as well as kept the entire wedding on track, which is hard to do with 200 people. The ceremony started on-time and everything else went timely and smoothly. Kayla was available to all my guests, answered their questions and kept smiling the entire time.
