Lindsay with Mostest was AMAZING! She helped us tremendously when the event planner for the Charleston Princess quit just a few weeks before my daughter’s wedding. There were many obstacles to navigate including not being able to board the vessel to set up and decorate until 2 hours before guests would begin boarding. Lindsay single handedly transported a car load of personalized details, decorations, party favors, bar items, extra linens, numerous picture frames and a huge Charleston Harbor nautical chart that served as the guest book. She had to take several trips from her car down a very long pier to get to the boat and set it all up in such a short time span. She managed it all beautifully! The timeline she created was amazing and we were actually a bit ahead of schedule prior to the ceremony. This gave us all some time to relax while sweet Lindsay was preparing for all of our guests to arrive. After the reception, Lindsay stayed on board and began packing up all of our special items carefully. We returned to the vessel after sending the bride and groom off, to find that she had managed to pack most of our items without our help. I can’t say enough about all that she did for us, especially with all of the hiccups and stresses we faced the last few weeks. She handled everything with such grace and poise! This MOB was quite stressed with the adversity we were facing that was out of our control and Lindsay smoothed everything out!! I can’t say enough about her!! If you are in the Charleston area and you’re looking for a wedding planner reach out to Mostest and don’t forget to request Lindsay! She feels like family to us!! Lindsay From the bottom of our hearts, we APPRECIATE YOU! Beth Dodds

Hi! I am Clemence the face behind The Perfect Pair Wedding :) I am born & raised in France, in the city of love Paris. During college I got the chance to do a semester abroad in San Diego, and met this really special, handsome, American guy... You see it coming? YES! After 3 years of long distance relationship, I finally married the love of my life. A little bit about The Perfect Pair Wedding... it is a San Diego based Wedding planning company, we plan & design weddings all over Southern California to bring to life our Perfect Pair's dreams.

Awarded Best of Zola
Clemence helped us navigate coordinating our wedding from day 1 and truly lifted so much of the stress of planning off of ourselves. She was very easy to communicate with and always made herself available for questions or talking through certain aspects of planning the day. She took control of communication with our vendors several months in advance and was extremely organized. Her expertise with wedding planning & coordination made us feel very confident going into our big day. Clemence and her team made our actual wedding day and absolute breeze – my husband and I both felt like every aspect was under control and no one was left wondering where they needed to be next, and it was such a relief to not have to handle those details ourselves. We never had to worry about anything going wrong because Clemence had everything under control at all times. Her team was such a pleasure to work with, I highly recommend using them for your special day!

Slay Events was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, Lily was warm, attentive, friendly, and responsive to all questions we had. Her communication was top-notch, and she was extremely detail-oriented, ensuring that everything came together seamlessly for our special day. Her planning tools and quick thinking helped us thinking of many details we would have missed otherwise. Lily truly went above and beyond, even being willing to help us coordinate our tea ceremony (which we hosted the day before our wedding). We asked Lily if she would be open to helping us coordinate our tea ceremony about a month before the event when we realized that we were getting overwhelmed with the details. She was ready and jumped right in to help! Lily ran both our tea ceremony and the wedding flawlessly. We found out later that on both days she was addressing needs that came up without us even knowing - allowing us to focus on enjoying our special weekend as a couple. We got so many compliments from our family members on Lily's fantastic coordination skills.

Jenna was incredibly helpful throughout the entire wedding planning process, making everything easy and stress-free. She was always available to answer our questions and provide guidance, she helped us with DJ recommendations, design and ultimately delivered the wedding of our dreams! Jenna went above and beyond to ensure that our special day was perfect. Jenna was our favorite person throughout the entire process, and as the bride I was constantly talking about how much I relied on her and loved having her as the person to lean on. I already miss working with her and both of us cannot recommend her highly enough. On our wedding day, we did not worry about a single thing thanks to her. She kept everyone organized, she handled many different personalities with professionalism, kindness, humor and grace. We are so grateful to have had Jenna as our wedding coordinator, and we would give her 10 stars if we could!

Awarded Best of Zola
When I got engaged, I truly believed I'd be able to handle the details for my wedding. I'm an accomplished business owner who is capable of handling alllllllllll the details. As I started planning my wedding I very quickly realized that 1) planning a wedding was very much out of my skill set 2) I didn't enjoy the process and 3) investing in a wedding planner was the best use of my time, energy, and focus. I wanted to spend the months leading up to my wedding enjoying the time - and not stressing about flowers, invitations, and cake. It was a divine intervention when I found Olivia and Amor Atelier Wedding Planning & Design. Right away Olivia and I bonded and I truly loved her energy and clear professionalism. It was obvious to me that she loves her job and truly wants to provide the best service possible. During our first reception planning meeting with our venue, Olivia took charge with a calm confidence that allowed me to sit back and focus on the big decisions, without having to deal with the small stuff. I loved that Olivia leads while also remains flexible and supportive. It was clear that she wanted my wedding to be what I wanted, and had no personal ulterior motives. She was there to support ME so that I could love the experience. Our wedding day was magical without any glitches or issues at all - ALL because of Olivia and her team. Throughout my wedding day I knew Olivia and her team had my back so that I was able to relax and focus on each minute with our guests. Investing in a wedding planner felt like a big spend for us, but it was worth every single penny. I hope you'll give yourself the gift of space a freedom during your wedding process by allowing Olivia and her team to support you. This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that you can't ever get back, or do again. My wish for every bride is to focus on the moments of your special days, and let Olivia free you from the details. When I think of Olivia and her team, I think: professional, supportive, detail-oriented, and truly committed to the utmost importance and meaning of a wedding. Olivia is lovely. I hope you get the opportunity to be supported by her and her amazing team.

We'll plan your wedding seamlessly by prioritizing even the smallest details and designing a day that doesn't just look stunning but creates memories that last a lifetime. If you're looking for a wedding planner who prioritizes logistics to ensure everything runs smoothly and infuses every ounce of your personality into the design of your day, you've come to the right place! We service San Diego, Santa Barbara, Palm Springs, Temecula, Santa Ynez, Los Angeles, Orange County, and beyond.

Where do I even start!? Bryce completely blew us away! As the groom, I’ll admit, I went into wedding planning with the mindset of “we’ve got this, we can handle it all.” I was honestly hesitant about hiring a planner because I didn’t fully understand what they did. I quickly learned that I also did not know what it took to elevate a wedding from “just nice” to one where every single guest felt special, pampered and truly taken care of, from the jaw-dropping decor to the flawless floor plan. Bryce absolutely exceeded all expectations. She was incredibly patient and attentive to every single idea my wife and I threw her way. Bryce came to each meeting so prepared, calm and confident that we completely trusted her judgment and execution. Her organizational skills were top-notch, every action item was clear, graciously presented and backed with kindness. We felt like she was our champion, advocating for us with vendors and even the venue! And the best part? She made us feel like we were her only clients throughout the entire process. If you're planning a wedding in Southern California, you simply have to work with Bryce! Months after our wedding, my wife is still reaching out to her for random advice. Bryce is an absolute gem and she won’t let you down!

I have been officially working as a professional wedding planner since 2017. My love of all things weddings and events began at an early age. I worked at a country club in the summers before my freshman and sophomore year of college, I worked on the food and beverage staff which included being a banquet server, and can you guess which was my favorite shift to work, you guessed it, the weddings. Once I got to the point in my life where my friends were starting to get engaged and I was a bridesmaid in their weddings, I found myself taking on extra duties and wanting to be more involved that it hit me, I need to pursue being an event planner.

Miranda was absolutely amazing. We worked with her for a year to plan for our Sonoma wedding. She was recommended from a friend whose wedding she also planned and it was stunning. Even though she was not from the Sonoma area, she did an amazing job finding everything from the venue, to the vendors, photographer, and DJ. She has great attention to detail and really makes you feel at ease in the planning process. We had absolutely no idea what we wanted or what we were doing, but she made both me and my husband way less stressed on every matter. We even had a last minute DJ issue and she found us a new one right away. She helped set up food tastings and made sure we were on track for the big day in terms of seating charts and other small details. The wedding was perfect and she did a fantastic job telling us exactly what to do and where to be. She even helped my brother, the officiant, with what he was suppose to say during the ceremony, as this was his first time officiating. She did the signage, decor, literally everything and alleviated all the stress and jitters on our day. I couldn’t recommend her enough to plan and help on your day. I’d hire her again ten times over! Thank you, Miranda!!

Elizabeth is such a wonderful planner! The communication was so good from booking to the big day. She made everything go so smoothly. On our wedding day she took good care of us. Brought us food, water, desserts. Our venue was big and she would walk back and forth from the girls to the guys down a hill then back up a hill. She’s seriously the BEST and I would highly recommend her to anyone! She also took videos of everything and sent them to me after the wedding, which I love!

Detailed, organized, friendly, and just an overall wonderful human being. We hired Karen for 2-month coordination and right off the bat, she was such a thoughtful planner and her willingness to guide us through anything and everything was amazing. I love a good spreadsheet and Karen has the best!!! Every meeting with her was so productive and we left each one with clear next steps/homework. The day of the wedding, everything went SO smoothly. Karen and her team took care of setting up all of our decor and they did so beautifully! When I arrived to the venue and saw everything, I was taken aback by how stunning everything looked — we had a mix of florals, candles, and fruit for our decor so getting everything set up was no small feat. Karen’s creative eye flawlessly brought my vision to life and I am so so grateful! Outside of decor, Karen’s organization, vendor communication, and speedy cleanup at the end of night was top-notch. We were able to truly enjoy the night, knowing Karen was there. She even took fun videos of the reception on my phone, which were great to watch the morning after to help relive the night :’) Literally each one of my vendors raved about how much they loved working with Karen — if that’s not enough to convince you to hire her for your next event, idk what is! SUCH a pro. Would 100% recommend Karen to any couple!

I am SO glad I found Dre and her team for our wedding! I am very type A and planned 90% of our wedding but as I got closer to the date, I started to feel overwhelmed and needed an extra hand. I spoke with Dre and immediately felt more at ease. Dre worked with us from the very beginning to make sure all the details I was most worried about were ironed out and taken care of. Dre assigned Lisa as our day-of coordinator and I ABSOLUTELY LOVED LISA! Although Lisa was our main point of contact, Dre was involved every step of the way so it really felt like I had the dream team making sure our wedding went as planned.... & it did!! I can probably go on and on about how amazing Lisa was on the day of! She was professional, SO DETAILED, quick, had amazing energy, and had the best attitude. A handful of my guests even made comments after the wedding about how hard Lisa was working to make sure everyone was taken care of. I had such a great time at my wedding and everything went smoothly (& if it didn't, there is no way I would've known because Lisa was killing it). I cannot thank Lisa and Dre enough for making all my wedding dreams come true!! If I could go back and do it all again, I would book Dre & her team even sooner!!!

Heather was such a joy to work with! We weren’t sure if we wanted/needed a day of coordinator at first, but within the first conversation we knew we had made the right choice. Heather and her team took all the stress of the day and handled everything, leaving us to enjoy the whirlwind of a day! She set up everything as we wanted, kept everyone organized and even ran to the grooms room (down the street!) where he had left the money for the vendors! Wind ‘N Sea was amazing and extremely worth it!
