Her personality is magnetic and you feel so comfortable around her instantly. I knew I would be nervous in those moments and her up there with me would make the world of difference. After booking, she sends you about 9 different vow options to choose from and you can customize and pick parts from different ones. It helped me as I had no clue what I wanted her to say. I customized some parts and asked her if she could include my fiance's son in some of it, saying we are becoming a family, not just husband and wife. On the day of the wedding, we both said "I do" and then she asked his son if he would take me as his bonus mom and he said "I do." That was not planned out and melted my heart and I couldn't stop smiling! She is so flexible and accommodating as well. I asked her if Mark could announce us for the first time as husband and wife. She was so good with him and he felt confident coming up there and speaking from the stage where she was at. And this is silly but super important, when she is saying you can kiss the bride, she moves out of the way so she is not in all of your photos! Bonus information on her company- her husband has a photography business and they do specialize in elopement style weddings as well so it is great if you want to get a photographer and officiant in one stop!

My photographer was James and he went above and beyond to be there for all parts of my wedding (not an easy venue site), and endured cold and wind like a champ! Despite all the difficulties of the weather, my photos turned out amazing and I owe a large part of that to my photographer. He was very professional and made my wedding day so easy. I appreciated the consults beforehand and the recommendations to have my "important people" list, to be sure I got the pictures I wanted. I also used this company for my bridal photos and I was appreciative that they were able to give me ideas on locations, poses, props, and were willing to incorporate our ideas into the photo session. I highly recommend them to anyone!

From start to finish, Brittany offered suggestions and advice and made sure I was on track with keeping things moving forward. I bounced ideas off of her and she offered ideas I would have never thought of. She has seen so many weddings and therefore had suggestions for what would and wouldn't work for our own wedding. Not only is Brittany experienced at what she does, she is also an absolute gem of a person! Being around her instantly puts you in a good mood and I now consider her a friend. As we started planning out the wedding, we decided we also could use her skills in planning a rehearsal dinner the night before. Brittany took on the challenge and worked two long days/evenings in a row to make sure our weekend was everything we wanted and more. And it was! What a hustler! She is literally superwoman! Brittany kept us on schedule, checked in with me often, helped create a timeline that worked for us, communicated with all our vendors to make sure all the parts came together beautifully, and so much more! Many guests of mine have told me since the wedding weekend that they had wonderful interactions with Brittany and felt so welcomed the second they arrived because of her incredible hospitality. WE LOVE BRITTANY!! Event Julep was our lifeline. You won't regret hiring her! Thank you, Brittany for everything you did for us!!

We had our wedding in Sonoma in late September 2017 and it went off incredibly smoothly in large part to Brittany's hard work, attitude, and friendly / calm demeanor. Without her guidance throughout the planning process we would have been lost. Going into our wedding day, we told Brittany the general theme / setup we had in mind and she was able to turn our thoughts into reality. She managed to keep all of the stress and details of the day away from us so we could focus on getting married and enjoying the big day with our guests. Brittany coordinated with all of our vendors and made sure they were set up properly and on time. We found out after our wedding that there were issues with some of our rentals and she took care of it (we ended up with upgraded chairs!). When the guests arrived, she kept the event flowing and was flexible when things didn't go according to plan. If it wasn't for her we'd still be at cocktail hour! Guests always knew where to go and nothing felt rushed. Several guests commented on how professional Brittany is and how smoothly the event was run. Immediately after our wedding we both couldn't believe how well it turned out and expressed how lucky we were to have found Brittany.

Admittedly we are a very perfectionist and overachieving couple with sky-high expectations for everything we're involved in. Cristin was the only person we interviewed who could keep pace with us. We knew immediately that we wanted to hire her. We were looking for more than day-of coordination, but not full-blown concept development, and she was the only wedding planner we met who understood intuitively how to provide that level of service. She was professional all the way. I never got the feeling that she was trying to upsell me on anything, or trying to force me into booking her own preferred vendors. We had chosen most vendors ourselves already, but I did go with her recommendations for a rental company, lighting company, and florist. Every vendor she recommended was as professional and attentive as she was, which was a huge value-add for me since I didn't have to navigate Yelp to find quality vendors in my price range. The KW staff were all pros as well - Cristin brought 4 people with her to Laguna the day of our wedding, and they did exactly what we wanted them to do - kept everything running smoothly without bothering us or our mothers for anything. They aren't hovering in the background of our professional photos. They weren't barking orders at our guests. In fact they blended in so seamlessly that many guests either didn't realize they were there, or thought they were wedding guests! Finally, I have to commend Cristin for solving many last-minute crises that popped up. She was able to locate an ADA ramp for a wheelchair-bound guest less than 24 hours before the wedding, and she ran a lot of interference with the extremely rigid venue staff throughout the planning process. We'd book KW again, for a wedding or for any other event with extremely complex logistics. They didn't forget a single detail.
