If you are in the need of a wedding coordinator, look NO FURTHER than Kelli and Christie at High…read moreTide Events. I can not recommend them enough and sing their praises to anyone who needs help with their wedding. My venue (Alila Marea in Encinitas) required us to have a wedding coordinator and I begrudgingly started my search, grousing my way through google searches, feeling like I didn't want to pay for a service I deemed unnecessary. I'm laid back enough and figured I could handle anything that was needed by my venue. Boy, was I wrong! I found High Tides and paid for their "day of only" service and was FLOORED by how much help they provided, not just on day of only. Christie C. was our coordinator, we had a phone call a few months prior to our wedding to go over many details. Christie contacted and worked with all our vendors, secured whatever our wedding venue needed, created timeline after timeline. My husband and I didn't have a lot we wanted and Christie rocked it by bringing up suggestions and helping guide me when many times I was like, I don't really know! I feel like she went far beyond the "day of only" package we purchased. We even had to postpone our wedding 4 days before the original date due to my husband's father falling ill and Christie was a God send helping us navigate all the changes and re-planning of our wedding to four months later. One big thing also, we were BEHIND on our scheduled timeline during our wedding, by at least 1-1.5 hours and Christie NEVER made me feel it. She gently and professionally handled our delays and let our wedding day move forward at our speed. I can't express enough how much I appreciate her kindness, care, and get it done attitude during our entire planning process and wedding day. She handled so much behind the scenes, made decisions for us, and was ONLY a positive and awesome enhancement to our day. Trust me when I say you CAN NOT GO WRONG with High Tide Events. I recommended them to a friend who got married shortly after me and they knocked it out of the park at her wedding too, my friend had Kelli as her coordinator and she too rocked it. Thank you for being such a positive, rock star, and HUGE part of our wedding, our wedding day continues to get rave reviews from our friends and much of that was because of High Tides help.

Hiring Kelli and her team was worth every single penny and probably more…read more She was incredibly helpful from the day I signed my contract and would check in with me to make sure all last minutes planning items were taken care of. Prompt reply to emails and was always available for questions. Our wedding was fairly straightforward in terms of logistics. The ceremony, cocktail hour and reception were all located at the same hotel in an outdoor setting. Overall, things went smoothly, in large part to Kelli. But when it started pouring rain in the middle of the reception, that's where Kelli really shined. She made me feel at ease, worked with the DJ and the hotel staff to move the party into a ballroom. And just like that, 10 minutes later we were dancing again! She also picked up all of our centerpieces, guest gifts and other decor items from the pouring rain and packed them securely and neatly in our hotel room before the night was over. She worked effortlessly with all vendors and was sweet, easygoing and kind. I am so grateful to Kelli and truly believe my reception could have been a disaster if it weren't for her!

We worked with Alexa from Always Flawless Productions for our August wedding at Park Hyatt Aviara,…read moreand we could not be happier with her full planning services. From the very beginning, she made the entire wedding planning process and the wedding day itself feel so easy and seamless that we were able to enjoy every second of it. I was frequently asked if I was stressed during the planning process, and I could honestly say that I didn't feel an ounce of stress. Alexa was incredibly thorough and responsive throughout the entire process, which gave us so much peace of mind. She provided excellent vendor recommendations and easy to follow checklists that made everything feel organized and manageable. She also effectively handled all communication between our vendors, which took so much off our plate and allowed us to truly enjoy the planning process without feeling overwhelmed. One thing that truly exceeded our expectations was how dedicated Alexa was to making sure every detail was perfect. She spent the entire day at our venue the day before our wedding, ensuring that our rentals and draping were set up. Knowing she was there overseeing everything and making sure every detail aligned with what I had envisioned gave us so much confidence and allowed us to fully relax and enjoy our wedding weekend. Alexa was also so easy to communicate with and truly helped bring my vision to life, even when I had a hard time describing exactly what I wanted. Somehow, she was able to read my mind and turn my ideas into the most perfect design decks. She completely understood the look and feel I was envisioning, even when I couldn't put it into words, and brought everything together so beautifully. Alexa went above and beyond to make sure every detail came together perfectly. We are so grateful we had her by our side throughout the entire process and would highly recommend her to anyone planning a wedding!

She took the time to really understand our vision and helped us bring it to life in the most seamless way. Ashley always had a calm and confident presence that made me feel at ease even through all the craziness that came up! On the rehearsal day, she was able to get everyone's focus through all the questions and the chitchats in her own magical way. On the actual wedding day, she made everything flow so smoothly and it looked so beautiful and perfect! My mom herself was like Ashley is amazing! If you're looking for someone who is professional, creative, detail-oriented, and genuinely cares about making your day special, then Ashley is 100% that person! Thank you for everything Ashley! You really made our day special and unforgettable! Love, Asiya and Greg

On the day of Veronica took charge placing all of the decor perfectly around the venue, provided us with a wedding arch and decorated it with flowers provided by our florist. Veronica created a flawless timeline for the ceremony and reception. At one point during our planning we had an issue with our venue and Veronica was able to mediate the situation professionally and help us create a solution.

During the planning process, my husband and I inquired other wedding planners, but once we connected with Karen, we knew right away we wanted to work with her. From the beginning, Karen has been friendly, attentive, organized, and communicative. She followed through with every meeting with notes and to dos, which allowed us to remain on track with no stress at all. Karen handled all of our other vendors and coordinated with them on day-of-timelines, any needed documentation, etc. We felt completely supported by Karen. She remained grounded and calm, which allowed us to feel the same way. One note to also add is we were not in San Diego, so even from miles away, we never felt nervous about any of the wedding details. We simply showed up at our wedding rehearsal and wedding day, and everything was exactly how we wanted. Also, we decided to hire Feel Good Photobooth, which is Karen and her husband, Alex's, other company. We were looking for a way to do both photobooth pictures and video recordings, and they checked the box. Our guests loved having both options, and my husband and I enjoyed watching the recordings back. The video and photo quality were so crisp and clear, and it was super easy working with Alex on the photostrip design and setup. We couldn't have asked for more, and we truly cannot recommend Aficial Events and Feel Good Photobooth enough!

Two sorrella events coordinated and did the florals for my wedding in December 2019 and within the…read morefirst hour of the reception I was crying like a 3 year old begging my husband to take me home. I am shocked! These girls seemed so organized and on top of everything during the planning process. They made it seem like we had the same creative vision and style. In the end, they didn't even deliver on THEIR IDEAS & for sure, everything I had told them was ignored. The weddings was such an epic let down from the very beginning. Issue 1: The bouquets were tiny and the girls were rude about it. When we hired the girls I showed them and texted them pictures of what I wanted & one of my big things was the bridesmaids bouquets specifically being medium sized, bc if they look too small it just looks cheap. When the bouquets were dropped off, mine was unimpressive and even though I specifically wanted Dusty Miller and dried berries in my bouquet, there were none. BUT EVEN WORSE my bridesmaids bouquets were absolutely tiny. They looked like they were for children, not grown women. They were probably slightly bigger the size of a woman's hand from stem to flowers. I was in tears & the videographer had to calm me down saying he understood I was upset but if I was crying it would also ruin the video. I texted the coordinators on a group chat: "Hey ladies, I thought the bridesmaid bouquets were going to be a medium size?" Instead of concern the response was: "those are medium size" - no apology! This was followed with "they have the same steam count as your picture". These looked NOTHING like the picture I had sent. Issue #2: our caterer's deposit had never been received by the venue and they were not being allowed to set up the food at the venue. This was because two sorrella's couldn't do their job and "coordinate" communication, making sure that all vendors were ready to go on the day of the wedding. My dad, instead of going straight to the wedding photos had to go to various atms along with the rest of my family to withdraw $1,500 in cash at 2pm on a Saturday when all the banks are already closed. Issue #3: Our wedding reception was supposed to start at 6pm - this did not happen because these coordinators were not ready. I was not allowed inside the venue by Denise because they wanted everything to be "a surprise". I didn't want to cause problems so I said okay. If I could go back I would've told her to get out of my way so I could set the wedding up myself. Luckily for me, my family and amazing maid of honor isn't as nice as I am and they all forced their way in: THIS SAVED MY WEDDING. Issue #4: The coordinators were not using my place cards & they claimed I had never sent the seating chart. My aunt called them out on this lie and they tried discrediting her saying she wasn't an authorized contact person when she was marked as my family's MAIN contact person to assist "with all issues". The coordinators then changed their story, and they said everything was MY FAULT for sending them the chart too late. My aunt quotes, "well this is Rebecca's fault, not mine & I will say that to her face if I have to" Yes, that's great - let's run up & start a fight with the bride who paid you. My aunt obviously went off on her at this point. My dad trying to calm the fighting women down said that they (my family) would come inside and do the setting up work so that my seating arrangements would be followed. The coordinators agreed & my family set things up. They should've cut my family and bridal party a check for doing their jobs. issue #5: apparently my wedding favors weren't good enough for sorrella's event bc they were never taken out & some favors were even used as decorations! During the planning process I had told the girls clearly that I wanted a table set up by the enternece where guests could leave gifts and cards, and at that table I wanted the favors set up in sections so guests could grab them on their way in. My wedding favors were left in a back room, I had to go to the back during the reception and hand them out to my guests myself. Issue #6: after I was lectured about sticking to the schedule, our coordinators were nowhere to be found when it was time for cake cutting. We had to make the announcement. We then proceeded to wait for a plate and forks for the cake for a relatively long amount of time. We got the plate, never got forks so there go those pictures too I guess. This of course put us further behind schedule as well. Issue #7: I told the girls how I wanted the tables set up. Specifically saying I wanted the dinner plates at the table. My dinner plates were stacked by the catering station buffet style. The table set up was just ugly, and nothing like we originally discussed. Over all it was a terrible experience, just hire someone else. I don't want anyone else regretting their wedding like this. A $40k event in total, and I feel ROBBED.
