Nahid was truly a one stop shop for everything we needed in the 12 months it took to plan our…read morewedding. Nahid provided such a calming presence at all times, ensuring me that she was always one step ahead of me. Before I could even express concern about something that I was not sure that we had started, she would let me know that she had already begun the process and not to worry. Communication is key when it comes to planning any event, and Nahid made it a priority to answer my calls, my texts, and if she couldn't in that moment, she made sure to make arrangements to follow up with me at her earliest convenience. On the day of the wedding, Nahid and her team were on the floor before the first vendors arrived and until the last vendor left. I couldn't be more grateful for Nahid and her team, and hopefully we will be working on future events together!

Nahid helped us plan our Venetian Masquerade Wedding in 2023 and she was amazing! She paid special…read moreattention to every detail and managed all of the vendors with a deft and expert hand - from the circus performers to burlesque dancers, to the string quartet and band, to the furniture and decor vendors, to working with the hotel. She was able to make our rather unorthodox wedding come alive to perfection! We can't thank her enough. And her team had everything covered and took great care of us through three outfit changes for each of us with coordinating hair, makeup, jewelry, and Venetian masks, and an extra costume change for me to surprise my partner with a performance at our wedding. We never would have been able to pull off such an intricate, unique night for us and all of our guests without her and her team! If you want someone to help you realize your vision for your event and knock he event out of the park, then I recommend that you call Nahid now!

Gina was my planner for our May 2026 wedding at Rancho Bernardo Inn, and she did an absolutely…read morefabulous job. From the very beginning, working with Gina gave me complete confidence that every question would be answered and every detail would be handled. On the wedding day itself, I never had to worry about a thing because I knew she had everything under control. Her strong working relationship with RBI was incredibly valuable throughout the planning process and made everything feel seamless. Since I'm not local to the San Diego area and didn't always have a clear vision of exactly what I wanted, Gina's recommendations and guidance were invaluable. Anytime I needed vendor suggestions, she immediately sent thoughtful recommendations, and whenever I wanted to dive deeper into details, she made it happen. We met in person multiple times leading up to the wedding weekend, and she helped bring all of the details together so beautifully. She was always available to answer texts or calls, which made the entire process feel so much less stressful. I really appreciated how Gina truly followed my lead and helped execute the vision we wanted. By the time the wedding weekend arrived, I didn't have to think twice about anything -- it all came together so perfectly, and it truly was the most wonderful weekend. I'm so grateful for everything Gina did to make our wedding such a special experience.

I was really disappointed and frustrated in my experience working with Kira. Around 2.5 months…read morebefore my wedding, I reached out to her but she was unresponsive to my email and calls. I was finally able to reach her two weeks later, and she asked me to send her a list of all my vendors again (even though I had already forwarded her all my vendor contracts and information before). Kira did not follow through with my vendors according to the timeline we had agreed upon, and I was uncertain as to when I would be able to get my draft timeline from her. When I expressed my concern and frustration, Kira said that since she was hired for day of, her talking to me two months prior to the wedding was a bonus that she was doing for me, and I should not expect to get a timeline until 2 weeks before the wedding. This seemed irresponsible to me, since when I booked her she had said she was free for calls and texts anytime leading up to the wedding. She said that I was unsympathetic towards personal things that came up for her. I felt like it was unprofessional for her to be telling me about personal things in her life that was causing a disruption in her ability to deliver upon her commitment as a coordinator. I ended up hiring a different coordinator who is also day-of. This coordinator said she always works with her clients 8 weeks before the wedding, creates the timeline 6 weeks beforehand, communicates with vendor 3 weeks beforehand and finalizes everything 1 week beforehand. This was exactly the kind of clarity and responsibility I wanted in a coordinator, and I am afraid that Kira did not deliver on this at all for me.

This is from a vendor side which is also really important! haha Our…read morephoto booth got booked just days before a wedding as a gift for a high end client where Kira just ran with it and made it happen for us. Things were all ready when we got there and she checked on us a few times throughout the day to make sure if we needed anything. From things like making sure the places we neat ant tightly to making sure the vendors were taken care of and fed, it's so appreciated from our side. Pleasure to work with her and her team. We have worked with a lot of coordinators and other vendors in the past and it's always great to see people who get it and are just Team Bride & Groom. The result at the end is a event that goes really smooth for the bride and groom and that's what it's all about! Must have been extra stressful to add something the night before the wedding but glad it all work out! Thanks Sweetest Things in Life Events & Kira!

We cannot say enough great things about the Lavish Wedding Team, and especially Gabriela! From the…read moremoment we met Gabriela, it was clear that she wasn't just a wedding planner--she was someone deeply invested in making our wedding day a reflection of us as a couple. She took the time during our very first meeting to ask about our personal story--how we met, how my husband proposed, and what made our relationship unique. This was something no other planner had done, and it immediately made us feel like we were in the hands of someone who truly cared. She has become more than just a wedding planner, and is now one of our friends. Our wedding was a beautiful blend of two distinct cultures, and Lavish went above and beyond to ensure that every detail honored both of our traditions in a way that felt seamless and cohesive. Gabriela found creative ways to incorporate elements of each culture into the decor, ceremony, and reception, making our celebration not just special, but incredibly personal. Her thoughtful approach to merging these cultural elements was absolutely perfect, and we were so grateful for the care she took to ensure everything felt authentic and meaningful. On top of all that, the Lavish team was incredibly attentive to every last detail. There were a few last-minute challenges on the day of the wedding, and they handled them with such grace and professionalism that we didn't have to worry about a thing. If you're looking for a wedding planning team who will go above and beyond to make your day as special as it can be, look no further than Lavish.

From the planning process to day of coordinating, you will be in great hands. My husband even said that the day-of coordinating was one of the best things he's ever experienced.

Everyone always says something goes wrong on wedding day, but I truly cannot think of anything that went wrong. 10/10 recommend the Lavish team!

Elena and her team were absolutely phenomenal and made our wedding day so much more enjoyable and stress-free. Day-of Coordination: Elena stood out not only on the wedding day but also in the months leading up to it. She was incredibly helpful during the planning process--offering thoughtful insight into creating a seamless timeline and even helping with ideas for decor and place settings tailored to our outdoor, beachy (and occasionally windy!) wedding. She thought of every detail, from preparing us in advance to get those dreamy photos (like the first kiss and cake cutting) to ensuring everything ran on schedule without a hitch. On the day, Elena was a true lifesaver. From the rehearsal to the ceremony and reception, I never once had to worry about where I needed to be or what was next. She kept everything moving smoothly, pointing me in the right direction while allowing me to fully enjoy the company of our guests and the magic of the day. And she always made sure we were taken care of (never without a drink in hand!). Her leadership and attention to detail made it all so effortless for us. Florals: Melissa tackled all of our floral arrangements, and I couldn't have been happier with how they turned out! Working within my limited budget, she brought my vision to life with stunning florals that perfectly matched our style and the seaside setting. Melissa truly understood the look I was going for, and her creativity and expertise made every arrangement stand out beautifully. She even gave me a calming pep talk before I walked down the aisle, which was such a thoughtful touch during a nerve-wracking moment. If you are considering a wedding at Scripps Seaside Forum (or anywhere else), I cannot recommend I-Do highly enough. Elena is an incredible coordinator who will make your wedding day run flawlessly, and Melissa will make your vision a reality. Thank you, Elena and Melissa, for helping make our wedding day unforgettable!

Melissa was incredible - she helped us plan our reception at Seabird Resort and I truly feel like…read moreshe went above and beyond- in logistics and emotional support! I booked her early and we initially just did a couple meetings to discuss our vision and needs regarding coordination, vendor contracts and florals since we did not need a full-planning service, only partial. She was always upfront and gave me honest opinions especially when it came to where to splurge and save, and what could look good and what wouldn't. The last 2 months is where she really shined, helping us follow up with vendors on details, setting deadlines for me to book rentals, reviewing contracts and constantly doing sanity checks when I needed it. The day of, she came extremely prepared, everything flowed smoothly (except some technical issues on part of the venue) and she was great at going with the flow and just letting the vibe and natural mood of the day go, and fixing whatever problems I threw at her. We also had her as our florist and she truly out did herself- her prices were incredibly reasonable and she handled everything like a champ when her assistant got sick the day of the reception. She also took my back and forth floral design suggestions and changes very well, as I am quite particular on details in some areas and deferred to her expertise in others. Honestly could not have done it without her and she was without a doubt my #1 worth it vendor! Would absolutely hire her for all your wedding planning and floral needs.

Even the smallest details that mattered deeply to us were executed flawlessly. Throughout the day, we felt completely taken care of. Their calm professionalism allowed us to be fully present and enjoy every moment with our family and friends. Rachel even made a mid-dinner stain on my dress disappear as if it had never happened. And while we know they can't technically control the weather, we're still convinced they found a way to turn an 85% chance of rain into the most beautiful sunny day imaginable. We are endlessly grateful for the care, creativity and heart they brought to our wedding. It was everything we dreamed of and more, and we couldn't have imagined a better team by our side. Some people are meant for days like this, and Molly and Rachel are two of them.

I showed up to our first meeting with a slide deck full of vision boards (I'm not joking). She executed my vision to PERFECTION, was so responsive and professional, and thought of all the nitty-grittiest little details to make everything come together SEAMLESSLY. My husband and I hired her to coordinate our September 2021 reception, and boy was she a life saver! We eloped a month prior to our reception, and I was able to hand over everything to Jenny before then to completely focus on enjoying this time. This included a VERY unresponsive bartending company, who - I kid you not - Jenny must have called, emailed, texted, sent smoke signals, etc. dozens of times to make sure that everything was perfect for our reception. This review is long overdue, but I cannot recommend Jenny enough! Do yourself a favor and hire her ASAP.
