If you're wondering if you need a wedding planner, yes, you do. Weddings in modern days have…read moreevolved way faster than we could imagine, and the tricky part is many of us only do this once. This is where assistance from a professional is much needed. We are very lucky to have found Ashleigh and her team, who tirelessly advocated for her customers. Throughout the process, she kept us perfectly on track over many months. She truly listened to our vision and gave us vendor recommendations tailored exactly to our personal goals and budget. She even spent hours going over every tiny detail before the wedding day to ensure nothing was missed. Through her work, you will soon realize her deep compassion and professionalism. She helped us smooth out the day so well that we got so many compliments from our guests. From decoration ideas to catering and linen selection, she meticulously helped us with every little detail. As two full-time working medical professionals, without Ashleigh, it would have been very hard for the two of us to host a wedding in San Diego while working full-time in Texas. Thank you again!

Ashleigh was my wedding's officiant and she was amazing! She led our ceremony in a sweet, funny,…read morewarm, and precise manner -- everything that I could have wanted. She perfected it with her role as officiant on our wedding day. We couldn't book her as our coordinator because we had an all inclusive venue that required us to use all their services but if I could, I would have also wanted her as our coordinator. She gives it her 100% in everything she does. I highly recommend her especially for wedding with unique elements or Vietnamese traditions.

Though planning a wedding is daunting, she helped along the way with useful timelines and a constantly evolving to-do list to keep us on track, which was very important to us. As far as design, this is clearly her specialty as she seems to have a great pulse on creating a timeless yet modern design, not just following the next fleeting trend. We fully recommend using HauteFetes for your wedding--you will not be disappointed and your wedding will be absolutely gorgeous. -Jack & Jenny 8/18/18 @ Valhalla Estate, Tahoe

Our wedding was a dream come because of Dani and her team. And when I say a dream come true, I…read moretruly mean it. It isn't just planning that takes place, but her vision for designs are absolutley breathtaking. When I told her an idea what I'd like and want and the fact that she was able to come up with it all just the way I had in my head (even better) it's pretty remarkable. Her vision to details, the art itself to the design of our wedding left us and our guest speechless. She's a friend through this process not just a wedding planner. You can always count on Dani for every single detail, always on a quick response if you have a question and truly the sweetness person. Plus the fact that she works with only the best team, what more can a bride ask? We had the BEST wedding and the BEST memories us and our guests. Dani is such a hard worker and a true artist. So please, don't hesitate even for a minute to have Dani because she will deliver your dream come true wedding. P.s.

Our wedding was perfect and I wouldn't change anything. If anything went wrong, we had no idea, Stephanie took care of it all! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding or event planner.

We loved working with Taylor! We originally started looking for day or month of coordinator for our…read moreJune 2025 wedding at The Lane about two years prior. We were recommended Taylor by our catering company because she used to work at The Lane but now does her own planning & coordination. We ended up doing Taylor's 2 month package which was perfect for us. Our colorful wedding wasn't exactly what Taylor is known for but she still did an amazing job setting up day of and the two months leading up. As we are quite organized and design oriented people we felt a coordinator wouldn't be worth it at first.. but by the time the two month mark hit it was relief having her take over some of the emails and contacting vendors. Sometimes it did seem a little silly asking her to ask someone else a question for us but she did a great job with our many, many questions. By the end I think our email thread was at least 100 emails. Overall Taylor executed the vision we organized perfectly and made everything run so smoothly I hardly noticed she was running around on the day of. Thank you Taylor! Photos by Manos Photo & Film

We hired Ashley to be the day-of coordinator for our wedding, but she really went above and beyond…read moreher call of duty. A full two months before the wedding she was working out our wedding timeline with us via google doc. Her template made the whole crazy event seem manageable and organized, and allowed us to solidify the schedule of our wedding day quite precisely. Throughout the time leading up to our wedding, she helped us plan seating arrangements, procession order, and worked with our caterers (ArtQuest Catering) to organize their role within the schedule. Over a week before the wedding she sent us a to-the minute timeline of the day, and worked with us as we tweaked it right up until the day before. Despite being, as I mentioned, our day-of-coordinator, Ashley literally ran our rehearsal session the day before the wedding. She was on site before we arrived, took us through every step of the ceremony schedule, made sure everyone knew what they were responsible for, coached us our walking speed, asked pertinent questions, etc. On the day of the wedding, she seemed to be everywhere at once, managing what was a pretty complicated, orchestral event. We were not the easiest clients- our wedding was packed with a ton of tiny specific events, like surprise serenades, and a very short window for sunset photos, and a rock performance that included the bride and groom. Ashley was there through it all making sure we knew where we were headed next, that we were on time, and properly hydrated. Seriously, we were super stressed planning for this wedding, but on the day it happened everything went so smoothly and that was in large part to the care and precision and professionalism that Ashley brought to her work coordinating the day. Thanks for making our wedding day easy and worry-free and fabulous.

Amazing, Great and Outstanding! That's my description of the customer services I received from…read moreAshley. From the date I hired Ashley she was kind and super helpful with the overall planning. She shared her recommended vendor's list for transportation, draping, music, floral designs, etc, which helped me A LOT. She was so nice she even planned a surprised slideshow with the Maid of Honor and Mother of the Bride, providing them with additional options and suggestions based on her expertise in the area. Best decision ever, was to hired Ashley Mayo and her team ! I email her about 50 times (not kidding LOL), and every time she was nicer, polite and her responses were always on time!. She made the planning process a lot easier because she is without a doubt a Subject matter expert when it comes to weddings. I met with her about 2-3 times, explained by vision of my dream wedding and she was super responsible providing timeline, suggestions, contacting vendors, coordinating set up with the venue a few weeks before the wedding, in other words making sure everything run perfect for the day off. BEST PART... I did not worry at all the Day Off the wedding! She had it all covered, I was able to enjoy our wedding, decoration was set perfectly, all vendors were on time, she was even able to provide the final envelopes with payments to vendors so I didn't even have to worry about that. Ashley brought her assistance and they both made our day incredibly beautiful. Adore Wedding design team were polite and nice to our guest and I just want to THANK Ashley and her assistance for her services. So, if you need to hire a wedding planner, you should definitely contact Ashley.

Keep in mind, I'm writing this as a freshly minted groom as of July 6, 2013…read more.. I'm nothing more than an average male. For some reason, my now beautiful wife agreed to marry me. Before she said yes to my proposal, I never dreamed of how my wedding would look or what food would be served to our wedding guests or what I'd wear. I assumed we be visiting a justice of the peace. When the now wife said she wanted a fairly traditional wedding, I tried to encourage her to try a DIY wedding. We'd book a venue, we'd book a caterer, a DJ, a bartender, buy the booze, find someone for decorations, find a florist, etc. I didn't want to hire a wedding planner...probably because I disliked that J-Lo movie. After writing down all of the things we needed to arrange for to pull off a proper yet contemporary wedding that would satisfy my Chaldean family and her American family, we both felt overwhelmed. Even though my better half is very organized (me, not so much), we still were feeling extremely insecure. We were drowning under "what ifs" and "should wes" and "do you thinks." Frankly, as time ticked closer to summer, we became more lost. Our only accomplishment was booking a ceremony and reception venue on the date we wanted. The then fiancée happened to walk past an event being held at our reception venue about four months before our date. We were both still reeling under the chest pressure of trying to create, plan and pull off our day. When she looked inside, she was floored by the look, smell, sound and feel of the venue. With some pushy prying and some happenstance, she met the event planner, Lauren Lisker, that night. Later that night, I was told tales of Lauren's talent and we met with Lauren and her Joie de Vivre parter, Erica, for an interview. Both women instantly struck me as being confident, experienced, classy and completely organized. More importantly, neither of the two women gave off any vibe like they were running a for profit business. They both were sincere about wanting to make our wedding day special. They were patient with us, which was important, as we didn't have a large budget. And even though we told them our below average budget, they didn't laugh at us, flinch or find a way to leave the meeting early. They never made us feel ashamed. They said they would find a way. We hired them and Lauren sure did find the way! Lauren is probably the most thorough, most organized and most wedding industry connected person I will ever have the chance to meet. She ushered us calmly and creatively out of our self induced wedding pressure chamber onto an organized pathway to the perfect party. She was so calm that I wanted to check her for a pulse or add her as a closer on my fantasy baseball team. She responded promptly to emails and phone calls and made us feel like she was working only for us even though we knew she had other clients at the same time. Lauren always had options for us. She never told us we couldn't do something. She always found a way to make it work, within our budget, and to our liking. Most importantly, Lauren was always gracefully glowing, happy, positive and encouraging. So much so, that after it was done, our bridesmaids told me my bride showed no signs of pre-wedding stress at all. I owe that to Lauren being there and being ready for anything. I can't write enough good things about Lauren Lisker and Joie de Vivre without sounding like I'm on their payroll, which I'm not! From the groom's perspective, if you're thinking about a DIY wedding that's more than a simple backyard affair, don't. Hire Joie de Vivre. They kicked ass! They did such a good job that I may have cried a couple of times at my wedding and my buddies from work probably won't let me forget about it for the rest of my career. Thank you, Lauren! You are great at what you do and you are an incredible person!

Heather Keith is the reason you hire a coordinator - period…read more We hired *Heather Keith Events* to plan our son's Bar Mitzvah (and she was there throughout running the show), and working with Heather was for the lack of a better was to say it just a fantastic experience from start to finish. She was well worth it (and candidly wasn't too expensive to hire either). Heather managed everything--from coordinating numerous vendors and rentals to handling multiple food options, designing thoughtful centerpieces (without breaking the bank), and bringing in an outstanding DJ who kept guests of all ages fully engaged (which is crucial). One of the things we appreciated most was Heather's transparency and smart budgeting advice. She helped us identify where it made sense to handle certain items ourselves ahead of time--saving us from unnecessary vendor markups--and advised on where to invest for the best impact. Thanks to her, we not only stayed on budget, we saved money in several areas we wouldn't have considered on our own. But maybe most importantly, Heather took the stress off of my wife. Instead of worrying about logistics or last-minute details, she was able to fully enjoy the evening and be completely present throughout the celebration. That peace of mind alone made working with Heather more than worth it. Heather Keith brought "calm" to the whole planning process. We'll absolutely be working with Heather again for our daughter's Bat Mitzvah--there's no question who we'll be calling. If you're planning a major event and want someone who's organized, clearly in charge of the vendors, and truly committed to making the experience smooth and enjoyable, Heather is who you need! Thank you Heather!
