I had the pleasure and honor of working with Time with Terrazas for my daughter's Quinceañera. It was an unusual theme, namely, Dia de Muertos, and that by itself made it rather tricky to pull off in a tasteful and jovial manner. But with Claudia's assistance and that of her entire team the day off, long months of stressful planning evolved into a beautiful, one of a kind magical night full of vibrant colors and life. Throughout the planning process I kept getting surprised at the depth of "hands on support" I got for the money I paid, often times, being reminded to let many things go. Claudia was extremely thorough and respectful with all of my vendors. From the onset of the celebration, it became clear to me that having a planner such as Claudia was not only invaluable, but the only way to bring my very complicated vision to life. There simply is no other way to plan an event without Time with Terrazas. The synchronized movement of the entire team throughout my event was simply flawless. Everyone moved quietly, quickly and efficiently to make things happen. All my last-minute requests that night were met with a smile and "can do" attitude. Everything on the checklist given to the team was executed and every cue was in place before I could even think about any of it. What differentiates Time with Terrazas from any other business is the "joy of spirit" the team, specifically Claudia, brings to the table. Many businesses can bring material perfection but, without soul, that perfection falls flat. Claudia radiates pure joy, warmth and her contagious smile and laughter melts away any host's stress. From the moment we engaged at our initial meeting to the joyous welcome we received from her upon arrival at the venue, all encounters with Claudia left me feeling lighter, serene and with a sense of positivism. With Claudia, there are no "problems" just situations that need alternatives. The building could be on fire and Claudia will still be in control. Thank you Time with Terrazas for your help in bringing to life a once in a lifetime dream in the life of my daughter and our entire family. read more

We worked with Claudia for 2-month coordination for our wedding. I love that she offers this service - not many other planners do! I knew I would need an extra set of hands (and brain) for those two months before the big day, and Claudia was absolutely invaluable to have on our team. She coordinated meetings and follow ups with all of my selected vendors for all the details and timelines. She is thorough, organized, offered incredibly helpful suggestions, and always made herself available for us with whatever we needed. Claudia was with us for the entire day - 5am when first hair & makeup chair started all the way through 11pm reception close and even later for clean up. My photo + video team (who already offers longer event hours than most) said they've never seen a coordinator truly dedicate the entire day to her couples. This means that someone who knows the entire plan for the day is always present - and that person doesn't have to be you! Again - absolutely invaluable. On the day of, having Claudia and her team truly allowed us to enjoy the day and be present at our wedding. You can't put a price on that - that is the #1 regret people have on their wedding day. She coordinated with the reception venue and vendors to execute a change of plans for rain in the evening, and while this would probably have made me stressed out of my mind had she not been there, we honestly stopped thinking about it. We consulted on my preferences for handling key moments inside vs outside - and then she took care of the rest. At the end of the night, we fully expected to need to hang around and help coordinate clean up. We had just finished chatting with guests when Claudia let us know that all our personal items were loaded up in their respective cars, and we were free to head out as soon as we were ready - we were shocked! "You mean we can just leave?! Like we don't need to do anything else?!" Shocked, I tell you. My maid of honor, who had just had her own wedding the year prior with her own planner, said Claudia was absolutely amazing. I highly recommend Claudia and the Time With Terrazas team to anyone, whether it's an event or wedding. read more

I found Claudia via a referral. I was a little late finding a wedding planner (only a few months before the wedding) because we had tried to do a lot ourselves. But I am so glad we hired her to help! At first we thought we would just need a day-of coordinator. But we contracted for her to help starting two months in advance and it was so worth it! I can't even tell you the amount of details that all need to be dealt with in the lead up to a wedding. I wanted a very custom Fall theme for my wedding with all my own DIY decorations. I gave a guideline of how I wanted it to look, and Claudia and her team brought my vision to life. We also had several areas for games as well as a Karaoke Band. Everything was exactly what we were wanting, and our guests loved every element of the wedding! There were zero snags on the day of the wedding, and the entire schedule ran so smoothly! Thank you so much Claudia for helping us with our dream wedding! -Katharine read more

Where do I even begin?! if you happen to land on this review high chance you are looking for a wedding planner. Look no further, Claudia is THE ONE! My husband and I first started our wedding planning journey in January of 2021, booking our venue for November 2021 (which was literally an open space for us to curate whatever we wanted) originally I thought it was a smart idea until I started trying to contact vendors to get pricing, enter 2 side businesses , a 9-5, a growing teenager and trying to keep up with my social life. Joke was on me, here is where Claudia saved our sanity. We started full planning with Claudia for our November 2021 wedding in February, by March we already had our catering, photographer, videographer & in process for all our rentals. Not only did Claudia handle all communication with our vendors her recommendations were all 5 stars. Weekly zoom meetings, venue trips, assisting us at our engagement shoot, all of it was such a good time. People often asked if we were stressed out and we honestly were not, Even week of the wedding was stress free. Our wedding day was flawless, our guests spoke highly on how attentive Claudia & her team were, our dream became reality and not a thing we wanted was missed or looked over. Thank you Claudia, for understanding our vision, having our back & delivering amazing service all the way through the process. We love ya! read more

Where do we even start? Being able to work with Claudia and the Time With Terrazas team has been absolutely amazing. Our wedding day could not have been more perfect. I looked into day-of-coordinators as our venue suggested we find one. We thought at first we would plan it all on our own as we are a bit DIY-minded, but there were so many details involved we began feeling in-over-our-heads. Little did we know, coming across Time with Terrazas was the best thing for me & (my now) husband. Not only was the day of the wedding executed perfectly, she helped us out two months in advance. Claudia made me feel so confident and lifted so much off my shoulders. From our first meeting all the way to our wedding day, Claudia and team supported us in every way... from being all of our vendors point of contact, down to the nitty gritty details. This allowed us to be more in the present leading up to the big day and really soak in every second of our wedding! My husband and I, along with our families continue to rave about Time With Terrazas... weeks after our wedding. Truly... there are not enough words to explain how wonderful, supportive, professional, organized, and creative Claudia is. We could not be more grateful! read more

Claudia Terrazas was a God send! My then-fiancé (current wife) and I had been planning our DIY-wedding for the past two years, and after two postponements in 2020 we could have not seeing the speed in which decision-making, executing a plan and communicating overwhelmed us. Enter Claudia. Not only was she able to help us organize what at that moment felt like a freight-train coming our way, she did it with respect and support for our vision, that she always encouraged since the moment we first spoke on the phone all the way to the day of. Time With Terrazas had our backs even during the moments of fear, uncertainty, and doubt (there were a few times when we thought the wedding was not going to happen) and helped us put ourselves together during the bumps on the road. Having Claudia and the Time With Terrazas team by our side allowed us to focus our creativity to design our perfect wedding without having to stress about the minutiae of coordinating. We had an amazing wedding and Time With Terrazas was an integral part of it. read more

I would highly recommend Time with Terrazas for any events. read more

When I met Claudia she immediately won my heart, my confidence and most importantly, my trust. I'll never forget the very first meeting of many that we shared. How kind and understanding she is (at the time of my wedding I was very busy and with out her I don't know what I would have done). She asked all the right questions, but most of all, she listened and followed all suggestions I wanted to ensure that our wedding would be beyond spectacular! I was not disappointed one bit! Time with Terrazas is the absolute dream team. Claudia understood my exact vision so perfectly and then some - she added details to make every decor element, every surprising moment, and every practical decision spectacularly beautiful and unique. Every aspect of our wedding was seamless; every transition was so natural, every light and candle sparked just perfectly. We felt it, our guests felt it. I miss our time together! I can't wait to continue planning life events such as a fabulous birthday celebration and baby shower someday with TIME WITH TERRAZAS! read more

Where to begin. Planning a wedding during COVID was no easy task. From having to postpone our wedding to changing the venue altogether - we pretty much started from scratch and had 4-5 months to plan. That's where Claudia came in. I found Claudia through a mutual friend and she was a Godsend. Her attention to detail is impeccable, I honestly don't know what I would have done without her. From day one, her enthusiasm and positivity was exactly what I needed to help me plan our big day. She was in constant contact with my vendors, would give me updates regularly, and would even check-in just to see if I was doing ok. Anytime I felt stressed about something, I would reach out to her and she always had the right thing to say to make me feel at ease. Claudia is beyond organized and provided a variety of helpful documents that made planning so much easier. Although overwhelming at times, IT IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY. Claudia is hands on. PERIOD. The day of the wedding she was with me from 6AM until 11 PM when the wedding was over and well after to make sure everything was packed away in our cars. My wedding day was perfect and exactly what I envisioned. I felt absolutely no stress and that's because of Claudia. Post wedding, Claudia even shared pictures she took throughout the wedding day. Although she was busy running around, she still managed to capture so many special shots. The day honestly flew by, so seeing random moments that we didn't catch (or couldn't remember) meant so much! Claudia is very knowledgeable, positive, and organized - among many other things. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs help in planning their wedding day!! She is the best of the best!! read more

At first my fiancé and I were on the fence about if we even needed a wedding planner, I mean if we stay organized and on top of everything we can handle it , right? WRONG!! Let me save you a lot of time debating; you DEFINITELY need one! And Time With Terrazas is the one you NEED! Hiring Claudia and her team was the BEST decision we ever made. We had a lot of quirky and non-traditional details that we wanted and she was so supportive of our vision 100% and fully committed to executing it perfectly. She was on top of everything, and it made the last weeks leading up to the wedding way less stressful! She created an amazing day of schedule that included literally everything. Our day went smoothly and exactly as scheduled, sometimes ahead of schedule. She called all the vendors, and kept them informed of the timeline and head counts. They took care of overseeing set up and breakdown and SO much more. Claudia was so incredibly kind and organized, and i never once saw her flinch at any challenge. There were a few bumps in the road beyond all of our control that really knocked the wind out of our sails, but her positive attitude and resourcefulness saved the day. She is a bundle of positive energy, from the beginning consultation to the very end of the wedding night! I really could not have asked for anything more, I for sure know that we could not have done it without her. I highly recommend her to anyone and we cannot thank her enough for helping us create our dream wedding! read more

Time With Terrazas - Wedding Planning Near Me

Since the moment I found Claudia from Time with Terrazas on Instagram, I knew she would be our wedding coordinator. I researched many wedding coordinators for months but Claudia's happy, cheerful, and bubbly personality is what convinced me to schedule a consultation. At our consultation, Claudia had amazing positive energy and made me feel like I had known her for years already. After having to postpone my wedding due to the pandemic, Claudia reassured me that everything would work out and she customized the perfect wedding coordination plan to help me with my wedding. Me and my husband knew right away that we wanted to book her and have her be out wedding coordinator. During our wedding management sessions, Claudia was always very accommodating to meet with me and my husband as we both had busy schedules. During our sessions, Claudia's passion, knowledge, and experience shined as she throughly went through every detail of our wedding to make sure that everyone went smoothly. On our wedding day, Claudia was a Godsend. She and her team had everything covered and was even there to help restore several issues that arose during the day. I seriously don't know how my wedding would have gone smoothly without her and her team. On top of that Claudia was my hype woman throughout the whole day which made me feel confident, carefree and happy. She truly helped me and my husband be present and stay on schedule to enjoy our wedding which was my goal. Claudia's day of schedule was excellent as she was able to accommodate surprises that both me and my husband had for each other. Our wedding was what dreams were made of and I'm so grateful for Claudia and her team for making it a reality. If you are looking for a wedding coordinator or wedding planner I would totally recommend Claudia. After our wedding I had many family members and friends reach out to me and compliment Claudia's work. Even my father in law said he now believed in wedding coordinators/planners after seeing how hard Claudia and her team worked during our wedding. So don't look no further, go and book a consultation so you can book her for your wedding or event! read more

I was blessed to come across Claudia and it was meant to be. I wasn't sure I could afford to have a planner but she made it possible to work together for the few months prior to my wedding and most importantly on the day of so I didn't need to worry about all those details on my own. It was the best decision I could have made! Her bubbly personality on social media drew me to her before we even spoke and she was truly the perfect planner for me! She listened to my vision for my day and helped me bring it to life, all the while hyping me up of how amazing it was going to be. I had some ups and downs during the planning process specifically with my side of the bridal party and she was there to listen and support me through those tough times. She kept me on task during the most crucial last few months of the wedding planning process and truly went above and beyond for me on the most important day of my life. We were a little behind on schedule the day of but that was only due to our party bus being late, and not in her control. It did cut into our time for pre-ceremony photos which was disappointing but Claudia found a way to get us back on track and wrangled our huge wedding party of over 20 people and helped coordinate all our family for photos like it was nothing! Thank you Claudia for helping to make my wedding day the BEST DAY EVER!! I couldn't recommend her enough to help plan your next event, you will not be disappointed! read more

6/9/2018 . If you think you can do it all yourself ‍ (that was me) or don't need a wedding planner, ‍ pleaseeeee think again! I cannot tell you how much of an ASSET Claudia was to our wedding! Although this post is way overdue, I have to tell you how amazing Claudia was in helping my husband and I achieve our vision for a Hawaiian themed/beach wedding! First of all, I am type A personality, everything perfect and I have to be hands on all the decisions type of person! In other words, other event planners I interviewed made me feel like I was burdening them (u know when u get the big eye look and eye rolls). However, Claudia took me by surprise as to how genuine, kind and patient she was with everything I wanted to achieve with our wedding. She was not only flexible with our schedule (my husband and I worked opposite hours), but she also was always prepared and available to us. She provided me with a list of wedding ideas, necessary must have and to do items, that I alone, would never had thought about. When I told her I had several vendors in mind, for example we were looking for a DJ, she offered to reach out to my vendors and coordinate everything on my behalf. ***Her goal was to make the process of my wedding as least stressful as possible!!!*** My husband and I had wanted to add personal touches to the wedding. He went to LA and bought Bamboo polls to build me the arch for our wedding. We bought all the table decorations and had a general idea of how we wanted things set up. Well, let me tell you, Claudia came over and we set up our mock tables.... she took the items for the idea we wanted and created several beautiful set up options. There were even several times I had emotional melt downs and she was caring and patient, understood how stressed I was, and literally helped me get through it! During the wedding, Claudia was literally my eyes and ears! When my Tahitian dancers were late, she made sure I was not in distress about it and she maneuvered our event times around to make everything happen smoothly! My guests at the wedding had no idea the mishap had even taken place. So I'm telling you, if you are looking for a AMAZING event planner, Claudia is it!!!! Claudia, thank you, thank you, thank you for helping us make our wedding day, one of the most memorable and best days, of our lives! I could not have done it without you !

Claudia is without a doubt the best choice of a wedding coordinator you can find! I was a bride who was quite opinionated, but too stressed out to make the tough decisions in the end. Not to mention trying to figure out how to coordinate all of the vendors, not just the day of, but for months leading up to the wedding. Claudia was a blessing! From the initial meeting with her, I knew she was way more organized than I could ever dream to be. And of course, has the experience to know what this wedding planning business entails. I truly thought I could do this by myself, and boy was I wrong. Claudia helped me to actually be able to enjoy planning my wedding. She has such a happy presence, and mix that with her ability to get things done, you have yourself a perfect coordinator! When it came to the main events, especially the day of, I knew everything was going to run smoothly and in my exact vision. I honestly do not think I would have enjoyed my wedding day as much as I did without her. Your wedding day can be a total blur. It can be stressful, time crunching, and hectic. I can honestly say I did not feel any of these things and I know Claudia had so much to do with that. She had every vendor on speed dial, making sure everyone was on time for me, including making sure I was on time without making me feel like I was being rushed (how amazing!) Now I get to say I had the best time at my own wedding and it really was the happiest day of my life! I have been a bridesmaid in three other weddings and their coordinators could not even compare!!! Trust me, you can not get any better than this woman and Time With Terrazas! read more

Claudia is the best! She's so positive and enthusiastic. You can just tell she loves what she does and puts it all into her craft. One of the best wedding planners I've had the pleasure of working with. If you're planning a special event, Claudia is your gal. She will take extra good care of you! Highly recommend her. read more

We hired Time With Terrazas for the whole year leading up to our big day. Hiring them was the best decision I could've made!! When I tell you she's sooo detailed oriented, organized and ON POINT I mean it. My now husband and I were able to enjoy every single step and our dream wedding became a realty all thanks to the wonderful Claudia and her team. The very first chat that we had we connected instantly, she's so incredibly bubbly. She's the hype woman you need in your life! I will forever be grateful for her and all her hard work. Our wedding was April 10, 2021, (I know this review is quite overdue but the world needs to know that they need Claudia and her team in their life), we hired Time With Terrazas right in the middle of the whole pandemic. The world was chaotic but my fiance at the time and I knew we didn't want that to stop us from getting married. In the middle of the pandemic Claudia was able to come through! Zoom was our best friend and although many businesses were closed at the time, Claudia did her magic. You can very much tell that Claudia absolutely loves what she does! I would hire her again 1000x. Hiring her for the whole was a must for me. I was so lost when it came to every single detail and I do not deal with stress well, but the way she broke everything down, I'm telling you this woman is a genius! To Claudia: Claudia, Ricky and I will forever cherish you and love you. Thank you for making our dream wedding come true. Thank you for your hard work, your patience, your enthusiasm, your vibrant energy and thank you for doing what you do and making many women's weddings come true as well! I thank God for your life and pray for many blessings in your life, may everyone you encounter get infected by your amazing personality! WE LOVE YOU!!! read more

No amount of stars are enough for what she did. My biggest fear of having a wedding was being too stressed out to enjoy it but with her and her team we didn't have to worry about a thing. She came up with the most beautiful ideas and made sure everything went smoothly. Even wedding guests noticed how amazing she was. She had the tios and Tia's all talking about how much a wedding planner like her is needed. She is so good at what she does but on top of that is her amazing personality. We always had the best meetings with her. She's a great listener and always had us laughing and having a fun time. I'd recommend her to everyone!!! read more

Claudia and her team were phenomenal! Everything at our wedding went smoothly, on time, and if there were any issues, I sure didn't notice them! Originally, I thought I could do it all myself and was hesitant to spend money on a coordinator, but hiring her was one of the best decisions I could have made. Her and her team made the day stress free for me. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for an experienced and bubbly wedding coordinator! She was THE BEST and would love to work wither her again. Thank you Claudia for helping us create great memories of that night - it couldn't have gone better! read more

If you are second guessing having a coordinator for your event let me help you make your decision and take this as a sign to say yes! I could make a list of 100 reasons why, but let me make it short and just say they are experts in this field and you will have zero worries the day of. Our wedding went by smoothly, on time and we were able to enjoy every second of it, all because of Claudia. We put so much time and money into one day, you might as well enjoy it and leave the worries to be taken care of by the experts. We will be forever grateful for the memories, Thank you. read more

I'm anal, controlling, and a perfectionist so I knew I needed someone amazing to handle my daughter's San Diego beach wedding. I found that person! Claudia guided us throughout this wonderful journey and ensured the wedding was amazing, beautiful, and organized. I was able to enjoy my daughter's wedding since I knew Claudia handled all the rest. Don't even think you as a bride or parent can handle a wedding on your own! You will go crazy and not have fun! And a venue coordinator is not the same as a wedding planner so don't rely on that person either. A wedding planner is a MUST! Just like a photographer and florist! I hired Claudia as "day of" planner since all the other arrangements were handled by myself and/or my daughter. I will NEVER regret my decision to hire Claudia and her team! read more
