Worked with them for my wedding years ago and had a mixed experience - there were many frustrating…read moremoments during the planning process itself, where they lacked communicativeness and follow through, as well as a subpar suggestion of vendors (nearly all vendor selections and negotiations including photographer, videographer, venue were chosen and done by ourselves). However, they were excellent on the day-of itself and ensured a smooth procession of events on the day. Years later, and I discover that my wedding photos have been featured (without my prior approval) on their website. I emailed them and followed up twice for them to be removed, as I prefer to keep my personal life private, and they have unprofessionally not responded in over a month. I find such behavior to be not only rude and unprofessional, but unethical. By the way, at least one of the five star reviews written on their page seems to be from a family member. I'm concerned about the ethics of their practice and their lack of responsiveness as well as decent courtesy to existing and former clients.

We hired Lyric to help plan our wedding in October. We signed up for the day-of planning which she…read moresaid was month-of. Throughout the process it was difficult to get ahold of her, and my caterer even had a hard time contacting her (leaving me to do work to find her). We only had one call the month-of and it was to fill out a timeline, that she didn't walk me through and we ended up having to scramble to make decisions for the line-up at the rehearsal. At the event she and her assistant were friendly and ready to help, but often found sitting or we couldn't find her. Though she seems like a sweet person and it was helpful to have her, it was not worth the cost given what we were told we were getting. I think she is too busy too as she actually double-booked us, but luckily honored our date as we had booked her first. I wouldn't recommend her for wedding planning, unfortunately.

As the groom, I had nothing to worry about the entire night, anything I needed her and her staff were readily available. For my wife's sake, the pressure of planning and management of the wedding was completely relieved. She felt relaxed once Jordan took over as point. We highly recommend their services. I would like to mention that our seating chart had a misspelling and Jordan spotted it and printed the word with same font and taped right over it. We didn't see it till after the wedding and we're quite impressed. That's the level of detail that this company brings.

My husband and I were married August 2018 and Lindsey was the first vendor we hired. I saw her…read moreprevious weddings in the Napa area and knew that she would help us execute our vision to a T. We started with a fun day of venue scouting up and down Napa and Sonoma, based on some recommendations she had sent over from our estimated budget, wedding size, and theme. She had great ideas for each venue and after the day was over we knew that she would be an asset to our wedding team. We asked Lindsey to come on as a Day of Coordinator, but she was helpful even before our three month planning period began. We ended up throwing Lindsey a curveball, by requesting her to help us at a venue in Lake Tahoe, with a venue and vendors she wasn't already familiar with. You never would have guessed this was the case because everything went off without a hitch. This venue was also pretty particular in set-up and break-down protocols which to me sounded overwhelming, but if there was ever a problem, I had no idea, because to me everything was as seamless as if Lindsey had been working there for years. Throughout the whole process, Lindsey was very supportive of our ideas and even did some major work to help us DIY a few elements of our wedding to cut costs down. Everything came out even more beautiful than I had imagined, and I have her to thank for this, she has a great eye. On the day of, she was like a ninja cueing everyone up and making the whole day as smooth and beautiful as possible. I really can't thank her enough, my wedding was a dream, and would recommend her to any of my friends highly.

We had our wedding in March of 2019 and had hired Alexis and her team for our wedding coordination…read more We were excited to work with her and met with her several times in the lead-up to the wedding. We were told to expect several staff from her team on-site to help coordinate in our outdoor multi-site venue. She was even on-site the day before our wedding with an assistant to plan everything out. Then the day-of came, and Alexis did not show up. She sent her assistant with one other person, who we had never seen before and who knew nothing about our wedding. We were expecting Alexis, her coordinator, plus additional support based on our discussions up until that point. Having only two people show up day-of was alarming. So much went wrong on the day of the wedding, most of which she had told us she and her team would coordinate: 1. We spent the week before hand-crafting floral arrangements - many of which were not set out, even though our coordinators were responsible for putting out our decor. Our theme was "wildflowers," but you wouldn't be able to tell because a lot of it stayed boxed up. 2. Our wedding site didn't have enough chairs set up. Fortunately, the bride's mother arrived early and had to run around trying to find staff who could bring out and arrange the site. 3. Our DJ was supposed to be driven out to the wedding site in an ATV because it was muddy. The assistants apparently didn't know this though it was discussed, and so he ended up running late for the ceremony while he waited for a lift. 4. Our DJ was then supposed to be picked up from the ceremony site, but the coordinators didn't have a ride ready. In a rush he ended up driving his personal van out to the site and got stuck in the mud and couldn't make it back to the cocktail party and had to be hauled out. 5. The bridal party was very late to the ceremony site because the coordination staff wasn't communicating with each other or the site staff. The drivers, therefore, were running behind just because they weren't told about timing. Our guests waited in the sun at the ceremony site while the bridal party waited to be taken there. 6. The ceremony site was not set out the way we'd agreed and was missing most of the decorations. A ton of decor and flowers we expected at the wedding site stayed boxed, leaving us with an unadorned aisle and ceremony site. 7. The backup coordinators set aside none of the cocktail hour appetizers for the bride and groom - something Alexis said she would make sure to do. 8. The DJ came to us sheepishly at the end of the night, saying that typically he would coordinate payment with the coordinator, but they had left without notifying anyone. He went to the groom in the middle of the reception to make sure he would get paid. 9. Many of the guests spent the day picking up the slack of things we had agreed Alexis's team would do. We were agitated that they couldn't just enjoy the day after we went to so much expense in hiring coordinators. 10. The backup coordinator spent the day asking the bride and groom what she was supposed to be doing next and what we expected of her next. 11. The backup coordinator and her assistant were given walkie-talkies from the venue staff because cell phone reception was spotty at best. The venue staff was unable to find the coordinators when they needed them because the walkies apparently weren't often on. 12. Because of all this, the bride was pulled away so often she could not take pre-ceremony photographs with her bridesmaids. 13. Because the ceremony started so late, we ended up having to pay for an extra hour for our photographers and videographer to stay for the events we wanted to have filmed. We followed up with Alexis, and she asserted that they fulfilled their end of the bargain, and she proceeded to blame us for how everything fell apart and accused us of not being organized enough. She also said that enough chairs were at the ceremony site even though this was blatantly untrue, and we can prove it so with photographs and drone footage taken that day. Also, how would she possibly know? She was not there. Nothing changes the fact that the person we had been working with for five months didn't make it to our wedding, sent someone who knew nothing about our wedding to coordinate, and the day-of was chaos when it didn't have to be. Looking through photos of the day brings such mixed emotions. Having no pre-ceremony photographs with bridesmaids is one thing, but seeing pictures of our unfinished ceremony site is a heartbreaking reminder. Those pictures will last forever, as will those memories of a day that did not go as planned due to the poor coordination by Alexis Solano. All we can do at this point is to warn others against working with Alexis Solano Events for something as meaningful or costly as a wedding. If we knew then what we know now, we would have been better off hiring anyone else or just doing it all ourselves.

Hiring Yong to help us with our wedding was the absolute best decision we made during the wedding process! As soon as I met her, I clicked with her and knew that this was the person that I wanted to help me on the most important and special day of my life. She is calm, knowledgeable, sweet, organized, prompt, and very detail oriented. Our families fell in love with her too and could not stop telling us how great she was. As most brides know, wedding planning can be extremely stressful. Yong did everything to ensure that I was not stressed. She has this sense of calm that just exudes from her. One of my bridesmaids is getting married in Toronto next year and she is trying to see if she can find a way to clone Yong or get her up to Canada to help her with her wedding! We are so fortunate to have found her and we cannot recommend her enough!!! We are sure that you will feel the same way!

She was a great confidant and had wonderful advice on all of my questions. We were also really happy with the recommendations for wedding vendors that she gave us. On the day of our wedding, it was unexpectedly raining (in May - who would have thought). Lura went above and beyond to execute our original vision of having cocktail hour and dinner outside in a stunning vineyard at the venue.

Our wedding day was beautiful and so memorable thanks to her team!
