    Table setting for the event
    Ram H.

    I can't say enough good things about Carissa. She was a delight to work with, going above and beyond expectations. She thought of the tiniest details and had solutions for some complex logistics for the pre-wedding dinner and dance party. I knew from fairly early on that I didn't have to worry about anything because Carissa was going to solve any issue should any come up. Many thanks to Carissa the event was flawless in planning and in execution. She is an absolute gem!

    Carissa and I at the end of the night! Make up smudged and happy as can be!

    Hire my new friend, Carissa! She made my special day even more special. She put up with all my crazy family and their antics and me with my pre-wedding anxiety. She truly is the best. I think the mark of a great coordinator is her ability to make it happen behind the scenes and it looks effortless. And that she feels like your best friend on your big day. So supportive and calm and happy. She worked incredibly hard to make sure everything on our special day went smoothly. And it did! She's amazing!

    My family and I were all impressed with Carissa's ability to balance being warm/social with keeping time/staying on top of logistics like nobody's business! It truly takes a very special person to handle that balance in the middle of a chaotic wedding! She made difficult executive decisions when we needed it most because she had the foresight to understand the weight of certain traditions and moments. Looking back, I see that everything went smoothly because of her coaching! I was able to take a breath of relief after a week of intense pre-wedding stress, knowing she was there taking care of business. She has an eye for what is going to present well and she makes a point to visualize the space of the ceremony and reception beforehand. All of her suggestions for the processional and the reception schedule worked out beautifully. I have told all my family and friends after the wedding that I am so lucky to have had her to rely on!

    Menu and party favor

    Carissa is absolutely amazing! She is so helpful and organized! I was honored to have her help in planning my 35th birthday/my sons 1 year old birthday! The goal was to create a special and intimate vibe, she did exactly that. She made my dream/Pinterest board come true alll within budget! She has great connections in the bay, I felt like I was working with an insider! Her attention to detail and commitment was unmatched! My guests are still talking about the time they had. She's phenomenal!

    Rain caused a change of plans and Carissa helped pivot all our vendors to set up a beautiful indoor ceremony!

    It's funny that even if you've been a guest at many weddings, when it comes to actually planning your own wedding, there are so many details and elements that all need to come together, that it can quickly become overwhelming - this is where you'll be so happy that you hired Carissa. Carissa was our day of coordinator, and a true pleasure to work with - kind and personable, and with a get it done attitude that will give you confidence that your big day is in good hands. Leading up to our wedding, we appreciated her help in firming up our schedule, and relied on her expertise and knowledge in helping us put our program together. When we realized we wouldn't be able to have our ceremony outdoors because of rain, Carissa expertly helped to pivot all of our vendors to set up what became a beautiful indoor ceremony. We definitely could not have pulled off our wedding without Carissa!

    This review is long overdue. Carissa was our day of coordinator for my daughter's first birthday and she was amazing! She helped set up and organize stations and most importantly, made sure I wasn't stressed about the event. From our first call to the day of the event, she was incredible to work with. I am terrible with emails and she was patient with me and also reassured me that everything was going to work out. She also helped organize my thoughts because sometimes you can go overboard with children's birthdays. Overall, I highly highly recommend Carissa for your upcoming event!

Brenda did a fantastic job helping with layout planning, timeline creation, decor/floral ideas, coordinating with other vendors and making sure everything ran smoothly the day of. Even prior to the month of, she was already touring the venue with us and gave suggestions when I had any questions or concerns. She made sure to meet with / communicate through e-mail / text/ zoom in a timely manner to address any issues and coordinated smoothly with other vendors. Overall our special day went exceptionally well, exceeding my expectations. We were very grateful we had Brenda to help make sure everything went smoothly and did not worry about anything the day of. If you're looking for an affordable and professional wedding planning in the East Bay, we would strongly recommend Brenda.

We had several meetings to ensure I was on the right path and checking off all the to do's. And the day of coordinator was perfect. She knew exactly what to do, never bothered me asking for anything. She kept us on schedule, she did all of the day of set up, coordinated with all my vendors and handled the tips. I was also so pleasantly surprised and thrilled when I came back on Sunday that she and her assistant had put everything away, all decor and staked the tables and chairs and put away linens. Not enough ice arrived and the bar was lacking some items and her assistant went to the store to grab everything. I am SO glad to have hired Cierra because I was fully present during my wedding day and can't imagine how differently and stressful the day would have been without her help. Best money spent!

Before renting I…read morepersonally had enquired in all possible places for the charges and availability of a stage for this particular evening. We found Asha rental v economical comparatively. Asha rental themselves asked us that they cud help us with the set up of stage a day in advance as the clubhouse was available for us by then. They did this with absolutely no extra charges. Unfortunately the clubhouse got booked for Aug 29 which we were not aware of and Asha rental guys who had come on Aug 29 morning , for giving us the extra day for preparations, had to carry back their stuff without being able to set it up for us. They had to come again the next morning. They did it all for us without any charges. Honestly, the bigger thing was they did all this with a smile... without making us feel guilty. We felt definitely were extremely uncomfortable for causing them inconvenience. But were more happier to know about Asha Rental Services Highly recommend this team !!

    We reached out two days before our event to request balloon decorations for a birthday party, and…read morethe booking process was incredibly easy. We called to check their availability, and they directed us to fill out the contact form on their website. We submitted it, and they got back to us the next day to review the details. After that, they sent a proposal by email, which was simple to update, and once we approved everything, we made the payment. On the day of the event, the only hiccup was timing. We told them that setup was scheduled for 3:30pm and the party would start at 5pm. When we didn't see them for a while, we tried calling but didn't get a response. They didn't arrive until around 4:40-4:45pm, which was much later than we expected. They mentioned they thought 3:30pm was just the earliest they could arrive, but we actually needed them there at 3:30pm. Thankfully, once they arrived, the setup was quick, efficient, and they finished in no time. The balloon arrangements themselves were absolutely stunning. We received so many compliments, and they completely transformed the space. They understood the aesthetic we were going for and executed it perfectly. Despite the timing miscommunication, I would still use them again because their customer service was great throughout the planning process, everything was easy to coordinate, and their work was beautiful. With clearer communication on arrival times next time, it would easily be a 5-star experience.

Super easy - we just called, told them our order, and then they told us what time we could pick them up. The only downside was that it was a bit expensive - I think it was about $80 for everything.

    Our wedding was the best day!! Better than we could have imagined. From the first call we had with…read moreAlex, we knew we wanted her as our planner. The vibes felt right, and we loved that she would help us bring our vision to life by including design. We picked the partial planning & design package but honestly, after working with her, we wished we had just done full service planning. In our first meeting we gave her an idea of what we had envisioned for the day, including a shared pinterest board. From there she made a design deck that really brought our day to life. Alex provided the best vendor recommendations (including for some with whom she had relationships and discounts), thoughtful design ideas, and guidance on the overall flow of the day. She joined us for our food tasting, met with us in person to pick out our rentals, and she coordinated a site visit with the vendors in preparation for the wedding. We didn't think we needed a content creator, but she even provided us with one and it was a great addition to capturing the memories of the day! Throughout the planning process, Alex was easy to reach, responsive, collaborative, open to feedback, and genuinely easy to work with. On the day of the wedding, Alex brought everything together seamlessly. She handled every detail behind the scenes, even things that didn't go as planned were handled quickly and professionally. This really allowed us to be fully present and actually enjoy the day. When I walked down the aisle for the first time, I was blown away!! It was BEYOND, BEYOND what we had even hoped for. We are soo blessed and grateful that we got to work with Alex. In the words of my husband - Earth & Events really cooked!! 10/10 recommend, expectations fully exceeded! Thank you Alex!!

I'm sure you were not sick that day because I watched your Instagram stories that day and you were at another event, maybe a bigger event than mine. If you were truly sick I'm sure you would have to communicate it to me. This whole day was a disappointment since I loved your work on your social media that's why I booked you. But seems like money is what you value more. You offer to pay me to take my post down yet you don't respond to my emails. So at the end of the day, it's you who can't communicate. You choose not to respond and now you want to act like this, years later.
