    Chrissy is absolutely amazing.  With a few months away, Travis (now husband!) and I finally decided to cave in and get a planner for our October 5th wedding. I was in complete denial that I needed help- we didn't want to have a big extravagant wedding so we made the assumption that planning would be easy and laid back. I was totally wrong. The amount of coordination in the last couple months was way more than I expected, and Chrissy was a LIFESAVER. Both Travis and I have hectic work schedules, so we were already limited on time that we could dedicate to wedding planning. Honestly, even if I had all the free time in the world, I would have still made the decision to work with Chrissy. Chrissy immediately put us at ease, understood our vision, and helped support us in every step of the way, including big tasks and tiny details. She was patient, super quick to respond, and genuinely cared about everything. It didn't feel like we were just another client, I honestly felt like she was totally focused on us, even though I knew she was getting so busy with wedding season. Even small details, like responding to my random texts at strange hours (like asking her if she thought I should get a spray tan, or just was excited to text her pictures of our wedding favors)...she was always available and our champions.  I thought I would be relieved to be done with it all... but honestly having Chrissy's support made the wedding SO FUN and stress free, and I wish I could do it over and over again. Chrissy, thank you for everything. We miss you already!  Allison and Travis

    I had my wedding at Nella Terra Cellars where I worked closely with Lindsay from simply lovely…read moreevents as well as Tannya for support! Lindsay is amazing and made our wedding day perfect! With every wedding there will always be some type of issue that arrives and with the bumps we faced, it was as if SLE worked magic and made everything better. Leading up to the wedding, Lindsay was so thorough and detailed and made sure to cover everything I did not know even needed to be covered - from placing our custome table numbers (also giving advice on what to use in case of strong winds), lighting our candles, tying the rose petal cones to the chairs, and tons of reception layout drafts. She asked many questions to make sure she understood what we were envisioning and had the most detailed notes I had ever seen! At the same time, she continued answering my 1000000 questions with lots of reassurance that everything will be more than OKAY. Even when we got scammed by a vendor, she was so empathetic and assisted us in what actions to take and other vendors we can look into! You can tell Lindsay is so passionate about her job and it shows with how loving and understanding she is towards the bride and groom, everyone that was a part of the wedding as well as our guests! Even my guests called out how organized and perfect everything looked - it was as if nothing at all went wrong. Lastly, I was also one of the brides who wasn't as organized towards the end of the process and started to be indecisive.. Lindsay was a hero and all my last minute wants/changes and requests were all answered and executed with excellence. So if you are looking for a dream team to coordinate your wedding and give you so much love, support , guidance and patience.. Work with Simply lovely events. You will not regret it at all!

The venue was…read morestunning and the Nella Terra, On the Vine, and Simply Lovely Events teams were on top of everything. We only had a few meetings with Lindsay over the last year leading up to the big day, but everything executed flawlessly. Lindsay was so patient, kind, and understanding throughout the entire process. Indian weddings can be very involved, and although we pared it down a lot, there were still many steps and details that needed to be discussed. She had great suggestions anytime we needed advice and was very responsive to any last minute changes. She was such a bright and lovely person to work with. She is truly perfect for this profession, and I would recommend anyone to work with her. Thank you to Lindsay and the Simply Lovely Events team!

From the initial planning stages through the execution of the event, the partnership and professionalism demonstrated by the Wente team were outstanding. The event coordinator Dominique was exceptional! Responsive, organized, and genuinely invested in ensuring the success of our event. Their attention to detail and proactive communication made the planning process seamless and stress‑free, reinforcing our confidence in Wente as a trusted partner. On the day of the event, the support staff were warm, attentive, and incredibly professional. Every guest felt welcomed and well cared for. A special thank‑you to the day‑of event captain, who truly went above and beyond. He ensured everything ran smoothly and took exceptional care of our guests, including those with specialized dietary restrictions that were identified just hours before the event began. Their attentiveness, flexibility, and thoughtful accommodations (even for last minute changes and requests) did not go unnoticed and made a meaningful impact on the overall guest experience. The venue, service, and hospitality came together to create a memorable and highly successful event for our company and our guests. We deeply value our relationship with Wente Vineyards and look forward to many future events together. We wholeheartedly recommend Wente Vineyards to any organization looking for an outstanding corporate event experience.

In coordinating our…read morewedding, she went above and beyond in every aspect of our special day...as well as leading up to it. Every single detail was better than I could ever imagine and there isn't one thing I would change. While enjoying our wedding day, I remember being pleasantly surprised with how perfectly Amanda put everything together and how perfectly she transformed my vision into reality. There is no way I would of had my perfect day if it wasn't for Amanda. Along with the small details, perfect decor set-up, and coordinating the entire day to go smoothly, Amanda allowed us to enjoy our day 100% stress free. Throughout the whole day her main concern was that everything was perfect for us...and it was. The planning process went so smoothly with her help and many wonderful suggestions along the way. Our outside vendors even mentioned how great she was...professional and extremly nice. Hiring Amanda was the best decision we made for our big day!

We gave Amanda quite the task as we decided to have a wedding of 250 people at my in-laws private home. We had no idea what we were getting into by having a backyard wedding and I can confidently say that without Amanda the day wouldn't have been possible. From the beginning Amanda thought of every last detail, giving us vendor recommendations, amazing design ideas and much more. Knowing the extra expenses associated with any DIY/at home wedding, Amanda always kept our budget top of mind. She was incredibly considerate to our financial needs while also giving us the day we had always imagined. Even after the wedding, Amanda noted every discrepancy and misplaced piece from the rental company and asked for a refund, which they granted! This shows how much Amanda cares about her couples and how far she goes to make sure every last detail is accounted for. Amanda was always available and incredibly responsive despite her busy schedule. I always felt like a priority and she would always call and e-mail me with updates and ideas. She made the experience for my husband and I so enjoyable, as we knew we could trust her with anything. She came to the house multiple times to meet our various vendors and to ensure she was in the loop on every last detail. Amanda is incredibly professional and on our wedding day she was so calm and made me feel completely at ease. I knew that if anything was to go wrong, it would be handled. This is what you want in your wedding coordinator. Amanda provided a night for us and our families that we will never forget. Everything went so smoothly and everything looked amazing. She was so accommodating throughout the entire evening. At the end of the night she even packed a bag of our favorite wines and boxed up leftover food for us to take back to the hotel. Such a wonderful surprise! As you can tell I have more than enough wonderful things to say about Amanda. We are incredibly grateful for all she did for us and highly recommend her for your wedding or event. Trust us, she will be the best decision you make! Thank you Amanda for giving us the wedding of our dreams!

    Wow! She was by far one of the best vendors we hired for our wedding day at the Rengstorff House…read more Her package included unlimited guidance via email, a few consultations, an on site meeting, as well as timeline creation and vendor communication etc. This was the perfect package for us because we wanted to plan some of our wedding day but did not want to hire a full planner. Prices are very reasonable and in my opinion worth every penny!! On our wedding day she set up all our decor and flowers! She even brought us our dinner and made sure we were taken care of the whole night. At the end of the night she gave me our car keys and it was loaded with all of our stuff. It was so nice to not have to worry about anything the day of and enjoy our special day. Please hire her if you are able to you will not regret it!

From our very first phone call through the whole wedding she was professional, efficient, and receptive to everything we imagined for our big day. She helped me create several timelines and ran communication with all of my vendors. Additionally, she helped me ask questions I didn't know that I needed to ask. She ran our rehearsal and ensured we stayed on task. She took all of my decorations for set up and was able to set everything up in the hour and a half our venue gave us. If you hire anyone for your wedding, hire Blanca as your wedding coordinator!

On our wedding day, we didn't have to worry about a thing because they had it all covered. We also had some tricky weather conditions for our outdoor ceremony, and they handled it so thoughtfully, advocating for us so we could have the ceremony we had dreamed of. Not only are they organized and experienced, but they also have great taste and really carried our vision through in a way that felt natural and effortless. We're so grateful for their support and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for wonderful wedding planners!

    Not a fan of the service that was provided at my best friend's wedding. Would NOT RECOMMEND…read more Everything was behind schedule. Couple had their send off over an hour after the planned time. Bride was very stressed out. Pens for the guestbook were not quality checked and did not work. The brides father and brother had to go to the venue to receive and quality check the table and chairs. Things were not set up on time (lots of waiting around for dinner, dancing, bouquet toss). Multiple times during the reception I saw her consulting the bride. Consultation and the plan of the vision are supposed to be established ahead of time. The wedding planner is supposed to take off as much stress from the bride and bridal party. I don't feel the brides best interests were taken into account- the bride made some bad calls and the planner should have stepped in with professional judgement. Guests would have been perfectly happy with 30 minutes of dancing. 1 hour + of dancing is just too much for guests AND the bride was exhausted!!! Several times I saw wedding planner standing around doing nothing or picking up menial things and not prepping for the next event, chitchatting, her assistant was not knowledgeable on the dinner menu. For several of the events I was the one running around -finding the getaway car keys, finding the bouquet, finding people to move things along. She was inept and making the wedding reception flow - guests were frustrated. Even if bride has crazy wishes - yes you want to do what she wishes but not at the expense of a drawn out event that makes guests want to leave.

From helping with ideas for themes to suggestions for 'should haves' at the reception that I had not even thought of. I received so many compliments about the fact that everything from the programs to the decorations throughout the ceremony and reception reflected the personalities and loves and both my husband and I. On the Big Day she was indispensable. I had many family members taking on roles and she made sure everybody was in the right place at the right time. And when I had a big dress mishap she was there to save the day! Carolyn is very kind, had tons of ideas and was a fabulous friend to me throughout the entire planning process. I couldn't have done it without her.
