While planning our wedding, I put a lot of time and effort into finding the perfect (and affordable) vendor for all aspects. I was pretty devastated to learn how expensive lighting could cost and had eventually decided to go to Costco to buy our own lights and wing it! Upon searching Craigslist for used lights, I came across A-Tough Lighting. Can't tell you how happy I am that I sent that e-mail. Tank was very quick to respond and we set up a time in the next few days for a consultation. We discussed ideas and he was extremely helpful in working with our budget. We immediately were happy with our decision Here were a few decided on that were delivered wonderfully: -Zigzagged Italian lights for our reception room -String lights outside over ceremony -Wall of lights that were roughly 24 ft wide by 30 ft high (turned out AMAZING) -Draped curtain of lights to the entrance of huge barn like door -Tons of uplighting creating pathways and great detail Tank was awesome. His personality was very energetic and so enthusiastic!. He was open to all ideas and gave us great feedback as well. His partner, Vanessa, was also very helpful and as a team they got things done! If you're looking someone who will be excited for your event, who's open to all of your ideas, someone who is professional, and someone who will create an overall great experience -- Tank is your guy! We would highly recommend anyone reading this as we have recommended him to family and friends. Thank you for making our wedding truly magical!

    From the initial consultation, we were drawn to Sachi & Maja over other planners because Lisa…read morebrought a lot of excitement about our concept. Then we got linked with Maggie who was a dream to work with. We got married in May 2026 and opted for full planning as our wedding idea was a bit out of the ordinary with the dance floor being replaced with bunch of other entertainment, meaning coordinating with a bunch of separate vendors. It also narrowed down which venues would fit our needs, but Maggie found a bunch of options for us, finding even more until we were 100% sure. That was basically how all of the vendor picking went and it was really easy to be able to choose from a filtered list of solid picks. Maggie really helped turn our concept into reality. We basically described the vibes of the vision we were going for and Maggie showed us a design deck that was 90% there. We discussed a few tweaks and then showed up to our wedding exactly as it was imagined in our heads! Maggie was also our day-of coordinator and the day was completely stress free (not an exaggeration - if anything was going wrong, we never knew about it). She had put together a full schedule for all the vendors and us which was easy to follow even when we weren't together (Maggie was at the venue super early to coordinate set up while bridal party was doing beauty). Everything went exactly as planned and we had a really great time!

    2.5 stars. This post is to help couples make an informed decision about Sachi & Maja. We paid for…read morepartial planning. TLDR: S&M may be better suited for smaller events with fewer vendors and simpler design. For our multi-layered event in May 2026 requiring proactive management, detailed coordination, and high-level organization, we found the services did not meet the standards promised in our contract. Pros: Our assigned planner was personable and willing to help. She coordinated vendors, created 3 layouts for our wedding weekend (only 1 was required), ran rehearsal & venue/showroom visits, picked up a birthday cake outside her scope, folded napkins the night before, and was receptive to feedback and improvement during the process. Cons 1. Design services were delayed and not fully delivered Our contract included event design services and a completed design plan. We had our first design meeting in mid-July, but did not receive a design presentation until late October (~3.5 months later). We were shown a partial design deck, but we never received the deck itself (partial or final) despite asking for it. The client dashboard link to the deck also remained broken throughout. 2. Vendor sourcing support was limited and delayed I sourced ~90% of our vendors and only requested help with florals and ceremony sound. After a planned leave, the planner gave us floral quotes in mid-November (over a month after her return). Of 3 options, one florist was unavailable and another did not provide delivery or on-site setup (both non-starters). Further, sound options were not provided. We ultimately had to source both florist and ceremony sound ourselves. 3. Guest flow and cocktail hour were not effectively managed Guest flow was within the planner's scope, but guests were not guided to the cocktail lawn after the ceremony. Multiple guests reported confusion and went directly to the reception area. The oyster vendor also confirmed guests bypassed the cocktail space. As a result, expensive key elements--an oyster station and floral arrangements--were largely unseen. Oysters had to be discarded and guests later expressed dismay at missing it. 4. Décor execution failures Weeks before the event, I provided detailed written décor instructions, especially for pieces that I had spent months sourcing. I asked the planner several times to confirm that my directions were clear, and I asked about her plan to execute. Despite her reassurances, key items were never used. Discovering these high-effort, expensive elements still unused after the event was heartbreaking and a waste of significant resources. 5. Communication and organization issues There were recurring delays in communication and there was apparent difficulty tracking information already provided. Emails were oftentimes delayed or noted as being "stuck in outbox." We received little proactive guidance on vendor & rental timelines and had to determine many milestones ourselves. I gave her full access to emails, contracts, and other key information, yet I was asked for information already provided. For example, I shared a Google Sheets seating chart (w/ guest counts, dietary restrictions, table assignments), yet she later asked for RSVP counts. In another case, I provided a detailed rental revision list to her, and she forwarded incorrect revisions. I scrambled to review her email to ID all required corrections. I gave her feedback, and she made efforts to improve afterward. 6. Weather and guest comfort planning felt reactive For our outdoor daytime event in Sonoma, we repeatedly raised concerns about shade and umbrellas, incl. warnings from the rental company about limited availability in May. The venue also recommended renting umbrellas. By the time the planner tried to add them, inventory was limited, requiring time-consuming substitutions. We ultimately had to purchase an umbrella and stand ourselves to avoid further delays. We had a frank conversation with S&M post-event. Out of the $11,800 fee we paid for the partial planning package, Lisa (the owner) initially offered to return the tip I had given to the planner plus $450 from her personal account as the refund. I shared with her that $450 was not sufficient given the scope/degree of the issues and that the tip shouldn't count towards the refund. She later sent me an additional $1,350 (for a total refund of $1,800). Lisa told me she wasn't involved in the process, so no real supervision had taken place. We chose S&M to help alleviate the stress of a complex event. Unfortunately, we felt like we had to supervise and check the planner's work and proactively dedicate the level of attention to our event that we didn't feel we were getting. While the planner was receptive to feedback, execution on the day of the event did not reflect the level of management and organization that we expected based on our contract. To couples out there, best of luck in deciding. And congratulations!

    Review This team is NO. FREAKING. JOKE!!!…read more I had my wedding on May 11th and the day couldn't have gone more perfect, and that's thanks to this team. Jessica & LaShawna are freaking stars! The planning process was seamless. I was so impressed with the attention to detail at the wedding venue walkthrough. We walked the entire venue, bounced ideas off each other for placement of every single item, and built a schematic. They even measured the venue to know exact placement of tables, chairs, etc. Planning the wedding was so easy/smooth thanks to the planning tools and check ins. Our rehearsal was straight to the point and very easy. We didn't need the full two hours allotted by our venue because they were on top of everything! Then came the wedding day. Our bridal salon overlooked the venue, so we were able to see the progress throughout the day. THEY WORK HARD!! and I mean, they pay attention to every single little detail to make sure the place looks beautiful and perfect. It was so impressive, we all couldn't stop talking about it. The wedding day went seamless, on time, and without a single issue. Jessica and LaShawna were there every step of the way, speaking to each other through their own personal headpieces. If anything came up or if I had any questions, they were there and ready to help where needed. My wedding wouldn't have gone as well as it did without them, I promise. I feel so grateful to have had the best team out there!! We also decided to hire the CLE House cleanup crew which was fantastic as well! Janet did a great job and cleaning/tidying up fast and making sure we got back all of our stuff. Thank you so much for being the reason why my wedding day went so perfectly CLE House!!!

    My husband and I are so glad that we chose A Savvy Event (ASE) as our planning team, but more…read morespecifically, Kimberly Rosen, as our wedding planner! We initially spoke with several other planners, but after our first call with Kimberly, we knew we wanted her to be the one helping us plan our event this past October in Sonoma. We insisted that Kimberly was our go-to with ASE. ASE has several levels of planning packages depending on what you are looking for. My Husband and I decided to go with the partial planning package and it was the perfect balance for us. We are from the Chicagoland area so having a planner in California where we were getting married was essential. Kimberly is also well-connected in wine country/the wedding industry and has relationships with many of the vendors who ASE has worked with over the years. This is a major perk, since she was able to point us in the direction of some of the best vendors out there! We always felt like we were in the right hands and were provided high quality recommendations by Kimberly. Throughout the past year of planning with Kimberly she was always kind and had such a positive attitude. Aside from being our wedding planner, Kimberly felt like a friend. Not only did we hear from several of our vendors how much they loved working with Kimberly and how organized she was, even several of our friends asked who she was because they noticed how on top of everything she was at the wedding. Everyone tells you how stressful wedding planning can be, especially since our entire planning process was virtual and during covid, but ours was carefree and fun! You also hear "something is going to go wrong the day of" but my husband and I can say that our day was flawless. If something did go wrong, it was nothing made known or visible to either us or any of our guests. When my Husband and I returned to our hotel room at the end of that night, Kimberly and her assistant had already returned all our signs and personal belongings to our room. They laid out my veil on the bed with our welcome sign so beautifully (see pic). Although this was a small gesture, we felt it was so thoughtful to walk back to at the end of what was already the perfect day! One final touch if you will! I have said to my husband on numerous occasions recently that I wish our wedding planning wasn't over and how I want to experience our day all over again and he agrees! Thank you, Kimberly for helping make our wedding one we'll always treasure and never forget! It was more magical than we could have ever envisioned!

    Kelly and the ASE team are truly the best you can get when it comes to the wedding planning…read moreindustry. My 14 month engagement turned into 26 months and I cannot imagine having gone through the challenges the pandemic and wild fires presented without Kelly. In addition to her gorgeous work, creativity, and connections in the industry, she is as genuine as can be and truly wants the best for her brides, grooms and their families. Not only does Kelly want to make your wedding planning experience as easy and fun as possible, but she also does an incredible job of getting to know you and making the wedding extremely personal. She got to know my husband and me in addition to our story and overall vision for our special day/weekend. Kelly goes above and beyond. For example, Kelly knew mine and my husband's love for Crumbl cookies and it became a shared love between all of us. She had the great idea to pick up Crumbl catering for our Rehearsal Dinner, which was also my husband's birthday, because she knew how special that would be for us. This is just the smallest example of Kelly's thoughtfulness throughout the whole process. Our wedding planning process presented extreme challenges between having to postpone a full year due to the pandemic and having to find a new venue/caterer/other vendors after our original venue burned down, but Kelly had my back every step of the way. She worked tirelessly to give us the best options while still taking our budget and preferences into consideration. The day would not have been possible without her and we are forever grateful for her dedication, her hard work, and her genuine love for what she does. Three months later, anytime we see our friends and family, they still talk about how perfect and absolutely stunning our wedding day and weekend was. I knew our day would be special but it was beyond anything I could have ever dreamed of. Kelly and the ASE team went above and beyond in creating the most special, beautiful, personalized and intimate wedding for us and I will forever be grateful. I could go on for several more paragraphs, but in conclusion, if you are looking for a wedding planning team, you will be in the best hands with A Savvy Event!

Well - I am a girl of my word. When my now husband proposed, one of the first phone calls I made was to Morgan at Spreading Lovely. Morgan is EXCEPTIONAL at what she does. From the moment I hired her, I already felt a sense of peace knowing that I had the best possible person in place to execute my wedding to perfection... Morgan and her team did exactly that. Morgan was hired for month of coordination services. From our first meeting it was clear that her primary goal was to make and keep me happy - I felt her genuine care and concern around every detail. She was so "locked in" at that meeting that it was clear NOTHING would slip through the cracks. Through the entire experience, it felt like I was working with an absolute pro and also a genuine friend. Morgan always had my interests and well-being in mind and knew exactly what to do in every scenario. Morgan went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure my day was special, flawless and exactly what I was dreaming of. I am forever grateful to Morgan and her team. They gave me the greatest gift of all - the ability to LET GO. As an admitted control freak and professional wedding planner - handing over your day to someone else to run with is scary. Well... not with Morgan at the helm of the ship. When the day of the wedding came, the unthinkable happened - I did not worry about a single detail. If you knew me, you'd realize what an insane feat this is. This is the true testament of Morgan and her greatness. If you are looking for a wedding planner that is equal parts professional, bad ass and kind - look no further then Morgan Miller!

After interviewing a ton of other planners and partial planners that all seemed to blur together, talking to Morgan was like talking to a friend. She has a calm demeanor, but you can see she has a passion for what she does and excitement she brings to all of her clients. That passion was evident throughout the entire process and her calmness was such an asset when any issue or stress-point would come up. The entire process was a joy, which I know is not the case in wedding planning so often. Morgan was able to create a design brief from our all-over-the-board style to a cohesive look and feel for the wedding that was even more beautiful than I could have imagined, but still felt so us. She helped us find rentals for what we could rent and pointed us in the direction for the cheapest options to buy other items which was so helpful. The end result was not only stunning, but more importantly stress-free for us and our parents which was the most important thing we wanted out of a planner. Numerous guests, after-the-fact, commented how all of us just looked so happy and stress-free. Guests pick up on that, and they were totally right - we were able to completely enjoy ever minute of the wedding weekend. Both my husband and I cannot say enough good things about Morgan. Hire her today - you will not regret it!

We cannot recommend her highly enough. From our very first interaction through the wedding day, Meag was the most responsive, organized, and dedicated partner we could have ever asked for. I've never worked with someone who responds as quickly as Meag does. While she is on top of everything, Meag also has a super relaxed presence, which made the planning process so enjoyable (something not many of my friends who work with other planners say). Not only is she a logistics expert, but she also has an incredible eye for design. She really listened to our vision and helped us figure out where to splurge to make a big impact and where we could save. She also gave us the BEST vendor recommendations--every single person she recommended was awesome to work with. On the wedding day, Meag was flawless. We were able to be completely present and enjoy our day because we knew she had everything under control. Every single element, from the shuttles and the ceremony to the food and dancing, ran so smoothly. Our guests kept coming up to us all weekend commenting not just on how beautiful the wedding was, but how every single detail had been thought of. We truly couldn't be happier with how everything turned out, and it's all thanks to Meag. We wish we could get married again so we had an excuse to keep working with her!
