After deciding to no longer work…read morewith our former wedding planner, I reached out to Suher and she was available for our date thankfully! From the first zoom call, we clicked. Just her overall energy and knowledge was impeccable. She truly has an eye for all the details. We really loved using the Aisle Planner she offered as a part of her package. All her recommendations for vendors and things to add to enhance our big day were amazing! Any time I had an idea, concern, or anything, she was there for us. Throughout the whole year leading up to the big day, she truly became a part of our family. Our day was picture perfect and seamless. She ensured I had not a single thing to worry about and was always a step ahead, which I appreciated. Whenever I have an event in the future, I will be sure to use FRE again. Thank you so much to you and your team Suher! We loved working with you.

Natalie was my bridal assistant on the day of and did an excellent job. She maintained constant communication, making sure me and my bridesmaids all had enough to eat, running last minute errands for me, etc. At the last minute, my hair stylist had to cancel and although I was panicked, Suher reached out to multiple contacts right away to help me find something. Eventually everything worked out! I got so many compliments on how unique, elegant and beautiful the wedding was from guests as well. All in all, Suher and team gave us the wedding of our dreams and we couldn't be happier!

Hiring Kristi with Everlasting Events was truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding…read morereception. From our very first call, Kristi stood out. She was engaging, easy to talk to, and immediately felt like someone I could trust. After that first conversation, I told my fiancé how much I liked her and that I really wanted him to speak with her too. By our second call, before we had even officially hired her, Kristi had already started pulling ideas for where we could host our reception based on what I had shared with her just a few days earlier. She was already thinking ahead, already listening, and already on the job. Originally, Kristi was only supposed to help us with the reception details, but she ended up helping with so much more. She connected us with my makeup vendor, helped with our florist, gave us hotel recommendations, and provided a list of vendors for our reception cake. She also wrote out our wedding day timeline and coordinated with our media team on vendor meals and our shot list. She truly went above and beyond the scope of what we originally hired her for, and I am so grateful. She made our day absolutely perfect. I planned a very intimate wedding reception, and because it was smaller, every detail mattered. I had a clear vision for the evening: elegant, personal, coastal, romantic, and beautifully styled without feeling overdone. Kristi understood that vision and brought it to life so perfectly. When I walked into the reception space, I was genuinely blown away. The décor was stunning, the table looked beautiful, and everything felt like what I had imagined, but better! Our guests kept commenting on how gorgeous everything was--many even took home some of the decor Kristi had put together. Leading up to the wedding, Kristi was incredibly helpful, organized, and communicative. We are based in Scottsdale, so much of our planning happened over email, and she was always responsive, clear, and steady. She helped coordinate with the venue and vendors, kept track of details, and made me feel like someone had a handle on all the moving pieces. But where Kristi really shined was on the wedding day itself. She was basically my shadow throughout the night, in the absolute best way. She was always nearby without ever being intrusive. She made sure I ate, made sure I had what I needed, and kept the evening moving without making me feel like I had to manage anything. I had been very clear that I wanted an espresso martini at my reception, and when I walked in, she walked me directly to the bar and put one in my hands. It sounds like a small thing, but on your wedding day, those little details feel huge. It made me feel so cared for. She was also an amazing point of contact for our vendors. I did not have to answer questions, solve problems, or worry about what was happening behind the scenes. Kristi handled it. The entire night felt smooth, calm, beautiful, and completely intentional. I cannot say enough good things about her. She took my vision seriously, executed it beautifully, and helped make our wedding feel perfect. Every bride deserves someone like Kristi in their corner.

Kristi with Everlasting Events was outstanding and exactly the kind of person you want on your…read morewedding team. From my perspective as the groom, one of the biggest things I appreciated about Kristi was that she just handled things. She was communicative, confident, and decisive. She did not second-guess herself, and when something needed to be addressed, she addressed it. That made a huge difference for us. Before the wedding, we had an issue with the venue taking too long to process our credit card, which caused unnecessary stress and even got flagged by the bank. Kristi stepped in, followed up with them, and made sure it was handled correctly and more timely the next time. She was not afraid to be firm when the situation called for it, and I really appreciated that. On the wedding night, she was just as helpful. When it came time to settle the bill, she stood with me and the vendor, pulled out her calculator, and took the time to walk through the costs, fees, and tip so we knew everything was correct. She made sure we paid properly, tipped appropriately, and understood what we were being charged for. Kristi was professional, organized, and calm under pressure. She made sure the night ran smoothly, kept the vendors coordinated, and allowed us to actually enjoy the reception instead of worrying about logistics. I would absolutely recommend Kristi and Everlasting Events to anyone who wants someone who knows what they are doing and will make sure things get done right.

Supreeta put a lot of time and effort into making the day special for us and it definitely showed. Really great experience with Sweet Love Designs and I would 100% recommend Supreeta to anyone planning an event!

Not being from San Diego ourselves, Ryan was extremely helpful in finding the best vendors for us within our price range. It ended up being a two year process due to the wait time for the venue we chose, but that never fazed Ryan. She was always quick to respond to our messages in a kind and professional manner, answering our seemingly never-ending questions with her never-ending patience. Ryan's spreadsheets and payment reminders were also incredibly helpful to staying organized and on top of everything. Ryan has an in-depth knowledge of the wedding industry and provided us with a multitude of creative ideas while still keeping our vision in mind. While we had a general idea of what we wanted, Ryan really helped fine tune it and turn our dream into reality. It ended up being even more spectacular than we could have ever imagined! Ryan thought of all the little details to pull the whole event together into a gorgeous, tropical paradise. On the wedding day, all we had to do was enjoy! Ryan took care of everything from coordinating with other vendors to arranging seats and decor. She scheduled our wedding day so we could have fun without feeling rushed -- we actually had time to eat and enjoy cocktail hour with our guests! It was the perfect day and we can't thank Ryan enough for ensuring we had the best of the best. (:

She was suggested to us when we booked our wedding at the Lafayette Hotel in San Diego, and it was by far the best decision we ever made in our wedding planning. My partner and I consider ourselves pretty organized people already, but having the ability to check in with Sunny throughout the planning process was SO helpful. There were so many details we had not considered and Sunny's experience in wedding events was extremely apparent in every email and phone conversation we had. We planned our wedding entirely remotely, and Sunny was so easy to work with and so flexible in scheduling check ins. I can't even begin to imagine how the wedding day would have went without Sunny's assistance. I don't know how she managed to help us find a missing checkbook and somehow coordinated our cake cutting at the same time so that we stayed right on schedule. Don't even get me started on how professional Sunny was in handling a potential wedding crasher, in addition to my tired brain calling her right before the ceremony asking, "Wait, what am I supposed to be doing right now?" (She gave me a timetable to follow, and the ceremony ran so smoothly guests were raving afterwards.) I'm sure Sunny did much, much more than what I was able to notice in order to keep our big day on track without hitches. From beginning to end, Sunny was wonderful to work with and you wouldn't regret having her as your coordinator. Thank you so much, Sunny! You're the best!

Sunny is AWESOME! She has such an eye for detail, usually catching things we might've overlooked…read moreplanning on our own. She is VERY accessible, we reached out to her and received quick responses to our many questions and changes and had everything super organized.

Our day went perfectly, hugely due to her professionalism, tact, and amazing attitude. If you're looking for a day of coordinator, stop looking and contact Sunny to handle your big day :)

I've never hired a DJ before! This was important! I was planning my own surprise birthday party…read more hahahaha! Checked out reviews on Yelp. Called the three that caught my eye. Talked to a few via tele and selected Events by Design. Mostly because John G. returned my call so quickly and the price was right! I coordinated with the owner John Gillon by phone and email. He couldn't have made it easier! He is an easy going guy. Pleasure doing business with him. He followed through on every promise and every one of my questions. He set me up with a DJ named John! I had a few special requests. Some mellow tunes for dinner then some dancing. Had to include some Persian tunes so I could watch my hubby 'shake it up' on the dance floor. Also, this party was in my backyard so DJ John recommended a visit to scope out the party pad! He stopped by at the time he promised. Hung out with us out back and discussed what we wanted and what he could do for the party. He was so nice! Offered to bring lights for the caterers, too. Plus, dance lights. He said he'd bring them and then he'd have them if we wanted to use them. We did --- it was a fabulous idea. He took the list of my favorite bands and solo artists. Suggested 40's during the mellow times. I loved it! Then dance tunes. He was very receptive to play for kids and adults. He asked if he could take requests from the guests. Absolutely yes. The night of the party. He set up even earlier than he said he would. He taped down the wires. Set-up the speakers. Checked in with me frequently but at the appropriate times (never intrusive). I had wanted a DJ to make it more about atmosphere and music --- rather than focus on the DJ (or even the birthday girl). He did a fabulous job at keeping the tunes rolling. Made the announcements for dinner and dancing. Yes, we did dance! Woop Woop HANDS UP IN THE AIR! Even announced when my daughter lost her first tooth. I cannot say enough nice things about the personal and seamless service! The end of the night. He taught the little girls to scratch. Sweet. He also stuck around and taught me and another mommy a few things about the dj world and music in his computer. I am so happy with the outcome of my surprise birthday party. Really, so much better than just me dj'ing with my Ipod and speakers. THANKS SO MUCH FOR MAKING MY BIRTHDAY SPECIAL AND MEMORABLE!

My husband and I hired Events by Design to DJ our wedding. We worked specifically with Scott…read moreZimmerman and had a FANTASTIC time working with him! Unlike other DJ's that some friends have worked with, Scott did a great job of playing almost all of our requests, filling in the "blanks" with songs that he knew we'd love based off of our requests, and completely avoiding anything on our do-not-play list. He could not have been a more nice, professional, or fun DJ to work with. Due to a few other "glitches" (not related to anything to do with Scott or EBD), the wedding/reception were running a bit behind schedule and Scott offered to stay and play a bit beyond his ending time so that the reception could wind down properly. We'd met with a few other DJs and were feeling a bit skeptical by the time that we met with Scott, but my husband and I really clicked with him and knew that he'd be perfect for our ceremony/reception as soon as we'd talked with him the first time, and we were right. Scott was awesome, and we highly recommend him.

From the first meeting, my fiance and I immediately took a liking to Kelly. She was professional,…read moreexperienced, friendly and confident that she knows how to get vendors to get their act together if there were any problems. We were doing a number of slightly unconventional twists to our wedding and thus were disregarding numerous traditions. Kelly was very enthusiastic about helping us with determining how to integrate nontraditional ideas we had while at the same time, letting us know gently when we shouldn't be messing with certain traditions for the sake of our guests. We purchased the two-day package (rehearsal dinner and day of). She was always punctual, had a smile on her face, but also firm whenever necessary to keep things moving along. A little story of um, irregularity at my wedding (yes, I realized afterwards that I should have probably brought my wedding ring to the ceremony). Kelly came through as the calming presence for everyone and immediately made the correct judgment call to use a substitute ring from my Best Man. I would have had my sister rush back to the hotel for the ring and delayed the start of the ceremony at least another 30 mins which could have been disastrous as it would have impacted all of the remaining schedule and cost us hundreds more in photographer and videographer OT fees. After the wedding, I kept hearing from our guests about all the little things Kelly did throughout the night like personally filling water glasses, reattaching my wife's wedding dress train thingy during the dancing and many more. As a typical guy, I despise the wedding industry and think there is a ridiculous 30% markup for anything just because it has the word "wedding" attached. However, Kelly's coordination service was a wedding service that I would have gladly paid 50% more than I paid.
