I would 100% recommend this company over every other company. If you want reliable, contact Terry!

We asked them to deliver the bounce house to my parents house. My Mom was home when Terry dropped off the bounce house and when I arrived she said Terry was very polite and showed up on time.

This means a lot coming from a business owner myself. I will use Blessed Ventures for all my bounce house needs for every party from here on out.

The olive trees and vineyard vines created a gorgeous setting for the wedding. We used the main house courtyard and front lawn for our 210 person wedding. We highly recommend renting the house for the whole weekend. We used it for our wedding party to stay, rehearsal dinner, staging for many prep items, and hair and makeup. The convenience of having the ceremony and reception next to each other was perfect and worked very well for our guests. We had our dance floor outside and rented string lights set up in an umbrella fashion to give the effect of a tent. Overall, we are very pleased with how everything turned out. I need to write a separate paragraph for Anna Russell and her team. Anna was extremely flexible and helpful throughout the whole process. She had good suggestions and helped us figure out issues as they arose. She was very responsive via email and super helpful the week of the wedding coordinating with our vendors. She was organized and kept all the pieces moving smoothly. We would highly recommend her, her team, and her venue to anyone.

We agreed that they would arrive at 1.5 hours before the event started, instead they were 1.5 hours late, arriving at the same time as the guests. I tried texting and calling the owner and she did not accept my phone calls until 45min after she said she would arrive saying she was 15min away. She then arrived 45minutes later. We asked for a large arrangement around two marquee signs and were provided a garland. The lightbulbs on the marquees went out. While we experienced rain and wind during the event it did not impact the displays at all. We simply were over promised and they did not deliver. We expressed our concerns when they arrived and were told we could discuss a change in price afterwards. After first offering us a free display in the future they refused to take responsibility for their tardiness and lack of balloons that we prepaid for. I would not recommend this business to any of my family, friends or businesses in the area.

My husband and I came to her with nothing but a venue and a vague idea of what we wanted our autumn beach wedding to look like, and she took that and turned it into one of the most magical days of our lives. From the very beginning, Kate was an absolute dream to work with. She is incredibly knowledgeable about all the local vendors and made the entire design process easy and fun. My husband and I were pretty clueless when it came to wedding planning, but Kate knew the answers to everything--even the things we didn't know we didn't know! Her expertise gave us confidence every step of the way. Kate is also beyond organized. She handled everything--from RSVPs and seating charts to coordinating vendor cleanup--so that on the day of the wedding, we didn't have to worry about a single thing. She ran the entire show behind the scenes, allowing us to be fully present and soak in every moment of our special day. And let's talk about Kate's personality--she was the calming force we didn't even know we needed. As the wedding day got closer and stress levels started rising, she remained completely unflappable. No matter what unexpected twists came up, Kate handled them with confidence and ease. She was also incredibly thoughtful, truly taking the time to get to know us as a couple, which made our wedding feel even more personal and special. Looking back, my husband and I both agree that hiring Kate was, without a doubt, the most important investment we made in our wedding. If you want a wedding planner who is knowledgeable, organized, and an absolute joy to work with, Kate is the one. I would recommend her to absolutely anyone!

We knew we could plan a wedding on our own if we really had to, but that we'd be blind to the things that would make it a "wow" wedding and to be honest, we really wanted to enjoy being engaged and not have to worry about planning every single detail. We had several consultation calls with different planners, but Kaitlin stood out from the get-go as someone who is experienced, professional, and most importantly, has a skill for really listening and understanding what was important to us. Kaitlin took small pieces of what we said was important to us and made our vision come to life. We wanted a wedding that felt like an experience for our guests. We wanted them to feel relaxed, have great food and drinks, and be delighted by small surprises at every turn. Kaitlin had incredible ideas for unique vendors to bring in, from a live guitarist who fit our vibe perfectly to our own coffee truck service. She also knew how to respectfully encourage us to consider color choices or other decor that she knew would make the event feel more timeless and well-rounded. The entire weekend of our wedding, Kaitlin and our vendors were perfectly in sync. I never felt stressed over details or timing at any given point. They were attentive, caring, and incredible detail-oriented. My husband and I had the best year planning our wedding with Kaitlin. We're so grateful that our vision came to life and we'll be forever reminiscing on our perfect day. If you are looking for a planner who will be a partner with you in creating the wedding of your dreams, cares deeply about you and your loved ones, and can create an experience that wows your guests, look no further than Kaitlin!

The only reason this gets two stars is that my husband and I did indeed get married to each other…read more But the day of the wedding and our interactions with our officiant were very - to be blunt - unpleasant. And further, the way that the company handled our complaints was insulting. Here's what happened. My husband and I were married by an officiant through Lyssabeth's on 7/5 at 8 am at Lover's Point in Pacific Grove. We were disappointed. We were 10 min late and called the officiant about 20 min before our start time to let her know. Until this time, through our interactions she had been pleasant to deal with. When we arrived to the site we were met with a very cool reception. No nice to meet you, you must be so excited. Nope. Instead the first words out of her mouth were 'Where's your paperwork?' and then she asked if we were missing something... where was our witness? This was very upsetting. We had just been rushing and our witness (our photographer) was walking down to the site, just a minute or two away. You could see her from the site. We had gone to the site the day before to pick the perfect spot (on Lover's Point in Pacific Grove) and had a few in mind. Where the officiant was standing was not a site we even considered. But we felt we couldn't even ask to move, based on her behavior toward us. As the photographer walked down to the site, the officiant complained that she had been up late working, got 4 hours of sleep and our 8 am start time was very early. She knew this all well in advance and could have better prepared. Instead she made us feel as if she didn't even want to be there and we were inconveniencing her. We would have gladly paid to accommodate our being over the 10 min grace period. As it were, we arrived right within the period. In short, we were uncomfortable and did not feel welcome at our own wedding. Luckily the ceremony was short - she did a good job of reading the vows - and then it was over and she left. But we were very disappointed with the way it turned out. Keep your negative feelings to yourself. This is our wedding day. Not your morning to be grumpy. We are glad we did not have any guests there to witness how uncomfortable this all was. Further - we knew we wanted to give feedback on all this to Lyssabeth's. But my husband wisely suggested we wait until we received our marriage license in the mail before doing anything. Just playing it safe, you know? Well California takes forever. Nearly six weeks after we were married, we received an email from Lyssabeth's asking for feedback on our experience. We still hadn't yet received our marriage license, but we figured what the heck, let's tell them how unsettling the experience was. So I filled out the survey and then had a second email exchange with them. I told them we laugh about all this - because really that's all we can do. If we thought to hard about it, we would become very upset. (We still don't like seeing her in the pictures.) They were at first apologetic. They contacted the officiant to see what happened. We received her forwarded email. "The sleep-deprived wedding" is what she called us. She said she had considered having someone else do our service but it was too last minute. She had been up late working with a longtime client. That's understandable but we were her current clients and were depending on her too. So with that, Lyssabeth's offered to send us a token gift. That would be very nice, we responded, saying we wanted a gift certificate to Amazon. A week or so went by and I got an email saying we'd received an Amazon certificate. Opened it up. The amount? $40. We were incredibly insulted. We had paid $239 for our service. $40? That's not even 20 percent. Considering the officiant copped up to being tired and frankly crabby (although in her email she seemed to be more apologetic to anything negative she had done for the company - NOT for her behavior toward us), we felt we deserved something more. So my husband contacted them, explained our views and asked for a refund. Then they told us oh sorry you have 30 days to request a refund. It's in the contract, they said. It's not in the contract anywhere. (Plus they told us we admitted the end result happened - we were married - and we laugh about it. But yes we do that so we don't cry.) And if you have only 30 days to ask for a refund, why does the company solicit feedback on its services precisely 40 days after said service was completed. So if we had asked for a refund in the original feedback survey, would we have been denied the refund (full or partial) because it was beyond this supposed 30-day period? Even thought it was the company that solicited our opinions well after the 30 days were up?! That's where we said forget it. We're married. But felt we were treated poorly at our wedding and then even worse by being belittled afterward. Tread lightly. Or at least make your service later in the morning so the officiant can get enough rest.

Prior to leaving Sacramento, neither of us made any concrete plans on how to get this elopement underway. But, thanks to Lyssabeth's wedding officiants, it was a breeze. We arrived Friday but didn't make any phone calls until Saturday evening. They were ready to meet up with us that same night. Considering it was already dusk, we figured we couldn't get any good pictures so we postponed until the following day. All they needed to know was the place and time. My DH and I had spent many weekends staying at The Sanctuary Beach Resort which is located on Marina State Beach. So we knew immediately that beach would be the perfect place to recite our vows. We met up with the officiant at the parking area where she explained what our ceremony choices were. She was very professional and had a warmth about her. Even though she had been doing this for years, she still managed to make us feel like our wedding was special. My DH and I knew the exact spot on the beach where we wanted to profess our love and she hung in there and made the trek with us. Immediately after the ceremony she offered to take some pictures for us which we truly appreciated. It was awesome! I highly recommend them.
