I absolutely loved working with Jessica to design, plan, and execute our wedding day…read more She really knows the wedding industry and has so many tricks up her sleeve on making sure everything is thoughtfully planned. She is very solution centric so there is literally no challenge that arose that she wasn't comfortable tackling. What we appreciated about her most is she is VERY customer service oriented. She always responded to us quickly, offered advice, and looked out for us. I will never forget... when she arrived to the bridal suite, she brought me some delicious caffeine teas so I can get a boost of energy because I told her I was exhausted and didn't sleep well. It is such a small gesture, but meant a lot to me (I felt so cared for). She truly goes above and beyond and we will absolutely be keeping her in mind if we need to plan any events in the future. We love you Jessica!

They have been nothing but incredible!! Their acute attention to even the finest of details was outstanding! All three of their energies, positivity and dedication burst from them as you can tell they are all DAMN good at their job and love it too! Not a detail, moment, flower was missed. They worked seamlessly to get the best of the best and pulled everything together for me. As the Bride, it was effortless and 100% NOT stressful thanks to them. They came to me with everything I envisioned and all I had to do was say yes and no. They built a massive wooden tent full of unbelievable lights that made the night time pics like an instagramable haven! Everything was just stunning! They worked with the hotel to finalizing all the food, budgets, locations... to the point where I never had to deal with them once, it was incredible! Special shout out to LIZ, who was my point person, she was just amazing! Every detail had their t's crossed and i's dotted a hundred times over! Nothing was amiss. She was always there for me, always supportive and could literally make anything I thought of happen in what seemed like a blink of an eye! Cathy is extremely warm and inviting, she has a great heart and wears it on her sleeve. She knows love and how to celebrate it!! I could not be happier and more full of bliss right now!

This review is for the only restaurant there at the golf club…read more Terrible, terrible, terrible for the food and services and ambiance. We were invited by a friend to this so call private golf club to eat. There were literally teenagers working there. The way they dress, talk and no ideas on working in a restaurant or even hospitality. Food presentation was awful and the taste was dried and salty. They never came out to see what we needed. As a customer we had to constantly tell them what to do for all the basic that they should have been trained in. We order coffee. A cup was of coffee was brought out. Where is the creamer. Then creamer was brought out. Can we get a spoon to stir please. Constant back and forth. No self awareness of what is needed on the table or what goes with what. We can hear them laughing aloud in the restaurant as there were only 2 tables with customers including us. We heard recently there was a change of the executive chef, that did not help in quality of the food. But i think they need to re-evaluate the restaurant management and its priority. It appears this club and restaurant services senior people with money, and being private club on a Friday and in Pauma Valley with no nearby restaurants , except for some decent ones in the casinos, they settle for this restaurant. Truly my last time here and will let people know. Hire cooks and service people that want to be in the hospitality business. Not teenagers.

I think she is just trying to get that part of her business up and running, but she should definitely stay in her lane. So much went wrong, so here goes. Her budget was way off. She did not return calls in a timely manner until it was brought to her attention. Not a big deal? Ah, sadly, there's more. We found out day before the wedding that her computerized version of seating arrangements was "just an approximation." So seating was way off from how we had imagined and we had to make last minute adjustments. She does not know how to run a rehearsal and announced to all that she had never seen a wedding like ours before! (The men walking to the front while bridesmaids walked down alone). This was followed by her lining up all backwards and everyone was trying to tell her it was wrong. So much confusion that the pastor finally took over saying, "Friends, I'm now running this rehearsal." She should've been embarrassed, but she wasn't. The day of the wedding she asked me how to display the table menus - one for each table. I had previously asked her how many frames to bring and she told me. I brought extra, but it wasn't enough. No problem, she said, we can just put the ones without frames up against the centerpieces. How tacky! As guests began to arrive, a friend asked where she could put her wedding gift. When I asked Alyssa, she said that "no one brings gifts to weddings anymore," so there wasn't a place for them. The wedding was to have bubbles on each seat. Not on mine, and I'm the MOB! Didn't get to blow bubbles for my daughter. And others felt the same way. What part of "every seat " is hard to understand? At the reception, wine was to be self-serve on the table and would then be replenished as needed. When I noticed some friends had no wine, her lame excuse was that she thought it would be nice to serve our guests. But those glasses were empty!! There's more but you get the picture. Along the planning way, when asked for lists of what she should be doing and when, her response was that we had no need to worry because it was all in her head. But it clearly was not. We paid a lot for her services. Almost $6000, not including flowers. The day ended up beautiful but because we had to work around her. Such a disappointment. The most disappointing things is when I reached out to her to discuss all of this after the wedding, she took absolutely no responsibility for anything. She actually thinks she did a great job. I'm here to tell you she did not.

Trust me, it happens to even the most saintly. No need to fret, April is there for you! She will listen carefully, ask you all the right questions, follow through promptly and thoroughly. She will be your best friend. This is not an understatement, as my man and I decided to get hitched in a week. I called April two days before (from LA), confused and bewildered on a Saturday! I still can't believe she not only graciously called me back but gladly took up the challenge of our small but very important day. April got us the most amazing photographer, beautiful flowers, a fabulous french resturant to exchange our vows (and to have dinner after). Last but not least, she coordinated the best officiate I could dream of, who through a conversation the night before, gave us a moving and personal ceremony. To top it off, the price for everyone's services was exceptional. I can't sing April's praises enough. If you are considering the Palm Springs or surrounding area for your wedding, check out "The Bride and I" it's a top quality service that stands above and beyond the competition.

While I had gathered everything together, made arrangements with vendors and had a rough timeline, April was the key to pulling everything together. She is calm and collected but also sweet and nice. Plus since I live in LA and didn't know the best local vendors, she was so helpful in the months leading up to the wedding in locking in my hair and makeup team and a few other loose ends. We had a few conference calls, and a walk thru at the venue and she produced a perfect table map and timeline. I instantly felt at ease! She ran our rehearsal so well and on the day of I was able to just relax as she handled decorating and getting everything and everyone where they needed to be. She has an excellent way of keeping everything on track while making you feel totally at ease. After the reception, she and her assistant got everything into the house in a super organized way, making it much easier to pack up the next day. Plus when the police showed up multiple times about a noise complaint she handled it so effortlessly when I asked her about it she said not to worry at all :) Highly recommend her to anyone needing some help on their big day, she's wonderful!
