I feel so lucky that we found Cristina!!…read more Cristina came highly recommended by our wedding venue (Ru's Farm in Healdsburg). After working with her and seeing her execute her magic, I can see why. Cristina is so much fun to be around - she is friendly, sweet, extremely responsive, provides great advice, knows her stuff, and GETS IT DONE. Cristina worked with my husband and I throughout the craziness of the past year with rescheduling our wedding, event guidelines, etc. She is well connected in the area and helped with so many details of our wedding day!) The month leading up to our wedding, we had weekly calls (which was such a lifesaver as things get so crazy at this point with so many details to plan + adding in planning a wedding during a pandemic made it extra complicated). Cristina is SO organized (which I love since I'm a type A personality!). She has folders, spreadsheets, and more for everything from table seating arrangements, venue map, bar inventory, to do list, and more! Everything went FLAWLESSLY on our wedding day (at least to my knowledge ;) My husband and I felt so ease with Cristina and trusted her with everything. There wasn't a detail she forgot about and she is such a pleasure to work with as a couple + our vendors loved her! Thank you Cristina for making our wedding day at Ru's Farm so perfect!!!

We could not say enough positive things about Cristina and our wedding at Ru's Farm!…read more From the moment I meet her, she immediately made me feel at ease. She was a stellar listener, asked great questions to help us focus on what mattered to us for our wedding day, was super organized and honestly just so hilarious and fun to be around/talk to. Cristina suggested our venue after we talked about what we were looking for and from the moment we stepped onto Ru's Farm it was clear it was the venue for us. She knows everyone in the area (and they all love working with her), so her connections made planning (and then re-planning with COVID), a breeze. She was great at helping us keep our budget in mind, and was honest about items that could be cost saving and people wouldn't know were missing verse items that would really add to the experience and our day. Also, she makes the process of planning a wedding so organized and easy; she just helps you stay on top of everything, making planning fun and not overwhelming. The day of went flawlessly. We had an absolute blast. Our guests raved about the venue, decor, food and just the whole day itself and all that was thanks to Cristina, Ru's and everyone on their teams. Cristina- we love you and can't say thank you enough!

Although she was technically only "month of", she provided open communication and vendor recommendations straight away in addition to conducting a venue walkthrough and formal menu tasting with the event and catering coordinator. Additionally, we had a few longer meetings in the last couple months leading up to the wedding which made sure every detail was in place and all questions were answered. Heather was fantastic on the day and was very hands on with setup/breakdown, ceremony pacing, and late night details that are often forgotten. She was so sweet throughout the entire process and I'm grateful we were able to work together for this very important occasion that went off without a hitch. Thank you!

We met with John Ross and did lessons in Foxtrot, Ballroom, Waltz, Tango, and many others. After that, I managed to gain some coordination and my passion for organized dance grew into Salsa, Bachata, Swing, and more. Now approaching our upcoming wedding, I didnt even think twice about who to chalenge with trying to teach our families how to dance for our special day because I knew John Ross was the man for the job. We scheduled a private lesson for us as a couple for our first dance, and to teach my dad and my fiance's mom for the father-daughter and mother-son dances. We did have our dance song picked out, and John didn't hesitate to step in helping us pick a song for us together as a group. My mom, future mother in law and I have all had extensive dance lessons and were very much at home on the dance floor. My dad, future father in law and my fiance have had not very many lessons, and yet with John's expertise and over 30 years of teaching, we all ended our lessons feeling relatively confident and excited about our progress we made together. It was a wonderful bonding experience for all of us. Regardless of if you're a seasoned pro, or a newbie with two left feet, trust John Ross to bring out the dancer within you. Take some lessons at this local studio and feel for yourself the breadth of fun you can have solo or with a partner/date. Competitive pricing, convenient location, variety of classes and years of experience make The Ballroom second to none for dance lessons in Sonoma County.

That is how I started with him as a beginning ballroom dancer at the age of 70 and now we compete together. This is the best thing I could have done for myself. John is now teaching in Sebastapol and Santa Rosa.

Wow! Just had an event at the Lake in Placerville, Ca! That coordinating team was beyond amazing!…read more They said on the day of the wedding I could enjoy the wedding and all would be don't by the team and they were not mistaken! It was unbelievable! Lorie,LaShawna and ALL the others were sooooo wonderful to deal with. Everything was as we talked about and exceeded our expectations!! Afterwards all of our belongings were put out together and ready to go! Would recommend them , no problems with response time or getting things done! Thank you so much for one of the best days ever!

Review This team is NO. FREAKING. JOKE!!!…read more I had my wedding on May 11th and the day couldn't have gone more perfect, and that's thanks to this team. Jessica & LaShawna are freaking stars! The planning process was seamless. I was so impressed with the attention to detail at the wedding venue walkthrough. We walked the entire venue, bounced ideas off each other for placement of every single item, and built a schematic. They even measured the venue to know exact placement of tables, chairs, etc. Planning the wedding was so easy/smooth thanks to the planning tools and check ins. Our rehearsal was straight to the point and very easy. We didn't need the full two hours allotted by our venue because they were on top of everything! Then came the wedding day. Our bridal salon overlooked the venue, so we were able to see the progress throughout the day. THEY WORK HARD!! and I mean, they pay attention to every single little detail to make sure the place looks beautiful and perfect. It was so impressive, we all couldn't stop talking about it. The wedding day went seamless, on time, and without a single issue. Jessica and LaShawna were there every step of the way, speaking to each other through their own personal headpieces. If anything came up or if I had any questions, they were there and ready to help where needed. My wedding wouldn't have gone as well as it did without them, I promise. I feel so grateful to have had the best team out there!! We also decided to hire the CLE House cleanup crew which was fantastic as well! Janet did a great job and cleaning/tidying up fast and making sure we got back all of our stuff. Thank you so much for being the reason why my wedding day went so perfectly CLE House!!!

From all the games, Photo Booth and open bar (oh course) everyone had a great time! Big props to all the venders that helped with our special day too!

My husband and I are so glad that we chose A Savvy Event (ASE) as our planning team, but more…read morespecifically, Kimberly Rosen, as our wedding planner! We initially spoke with several other planners, but after our first call with Kimberly, we knew we wanted her to be the one helping us plan our event this past October in Sonoma. We insisted that Kimberly was our go-to with ASE. ASE has several levels of planning packages depending on what you are looking for. My Husband and I decided to go with the partial planning package and it was the perfect balance for us. We are from the Chicagoland area so having a planner in California where we were getting married was essential. Kimberly is also well-connected in wine country/the wedding industry and has relationships with many of the vendors who ASE has worked with over the years. This is a major perk, since she was able to point us in the direction of some of the best vendors out there! We always felt like we were in the right hands and were provided high quality recommendations by Kimberly. Throughout the past year of planning with Kimberly she was always kind and had such a positive attitude. Aside from being our wedding planner, Kimberly felt like a friend. Not only did we hear from several of our vendors how much they loved working with Kimberly and how organized she was, even several of our friends asked who she was because they noticed how on top of everything she was at the wedding. Everyone tells you how stressful wedding planning can be, especially since our entire planning process was virtual and during covid, but ours was carefree and fun! You also hear "something is going to go wrong the day of" but my husband and I can say that our day was flawless. If something did go wrong, it was nothing made known or visible to either us or any of our guests. When my Husband and I returned to our hotel room at the end of that night, Kimberly and her assistant had already returned all our signs and personal belongings to our room. They laid out my veil on the bed with our welcome sign so beautifully (see pic). Although this was a small gesture, we felt it was so thoughtful to walk back to at the end of what was already the perfect day! One final touch if you will! I have said to my husband on numerous occasions recently that I wish our wedding planning wasn't over and how I want to experience our day all over again and he agrees! Thank you, Kimberly for helping make our wedding one we'll always treasure and never forget! It was more magical than we could have ever envisioned!

Kelly and the ASE team are truly the best you can get when it comes to the wedding planning…read moreindustry. My 14 month engagement turned into 26 months and I cannot imagine having gone through the challenges the pandemic and wild fires presented without Kelly. In addition to her gorgeous work, creativity, and connections in the industry, she is as genuine as can be and truly wants the best for her brides, grooms and their families. Not only does Kelly want to make your wedding planning experience as easy and fun as possible, but she also does an incredible job of getting to know you and making the wedding extremely personal. She got to know my husband and me in addition to our story and overall vision for our special day/weekend. Kelly goes above and beyond. For example, Kelly knew mine and my husband's love for Crumbl cookies and it became a shared love between all of us. She had the great idea to pick up Crumbl catering for our Rehearsal Dinner, which was also my husband's birthday, because she knew how special that would be for us. This is just the smallest example of Kelly's thoughtfulness throughout the whole process. Our wedding planning process presented extreme challenges between having to postpone a full year due to the pandemic and having to find a new venue/caterer/other vendors after our original venue burned down, but Kelly had my back every step of the way. She worked tirelessly to give us the best options while still taking our budget and preferences into consideration. The day would not have been possible without her and we are forever grateful for her dedication, her hard work, and her genuine love for what she does. Three months later, anytime we see our friends and family, they still talk about how perfect and absolutely stunning our wedding day and weekend was. I knew our day would be special but it was beyond anything I could have ever dreamed of. Kelly and the ASE team went above and beyond in creating the most special, beautiful, personalized and intimate wedding for us and I will forever be grateful. I could go on for several more paragraphs, but in conclusion, if you are looking for a wedding planning team, you will be in the best hands with A Savvy Event!

Wedding planning suddenly became much less daunting after hiring Our Little Wedding. They have a whole web platform specific to your wedding with each category organized by vendor, to do lists both you, your partner, and your planner can add to, and design studios which you can make your own pinterest-like boards for your team to see and interact with, which made keeping track of everything super simple. Angelina was such a delight to work with, and she eased all of our anxieties and kept us from spiraling into wedding anxiety. I can be an extremely indecisive person, and she patiently helped us through so many options and changes we had. We really learned to work together as a great team; I feel like she took all the ideas and thoughts I had in my head and made it a reality. Our wedding day was a bit hectic (for reasons COMPLETELY unrelated to OLW) and both Dennis and Angelina took care of everything so seamlessly, I barely noticed the few things that went slightly awry. The day-of coordination was so incredibly valuable, I feel like I had nothing to worry about with such an amazing team taking care of everything for my husband and I. Dennis as our photographer made us feel so comfortable, especially since the only other formal photos we'd ever taken were for our engagement photos. We felt so at ease and calm, and it really reflects in the photos. A huge thank you again to the whole OLW team! If we had to do it all over again, you'd be our first call.
