A Good Affair Wedding and Event Production

will welcome you into design conversations when you want, and manage all the detail when you defer. Third (most important), AGA will give you and your bride confidence and joy on your wedding day. Their coordination will calmly guide you thru a hectic, emotional day and allow you to enjoy every moment of it. Their design work will surpass expectations … and likely bring your wife to tears!

y nice and worked very well with Natalie's team. I gave Natalie a budget of what I wanted to spend on my wedding and she stayed on track the entire planning process. I was able to trust her and A Good Affair with the whole design and setup once I pitched her my ideas. My husband and I were not stressed during the whole wedding process, thanks to Natalie and her team. Thank you so much for making my wedding day the best day of our lives!

: (1) There is way too much going on for you to manage singlehandedly on your wedding day, and (2) even if you could ordinarily do some of the tasks yourself, there isn't enough time for you to also enjoy your wedding, so (3) you need a team that you can trust. Lastly and most importantly, (4) you can't buy good taste. You need to be born with it! --And Natalie's definitely got taste for miles!! I was immediately impressed by these qualities about Natalie: (1) Natalie was beyond qualified and experienced. Her portfolio has countless gorgeous pictures of weddings she's designed. She knows what she's doing and that has tons of experience. (2) She is confident. She in turn, instilled confidence in me that she could get the job done and be amazing at it. That was reassuring, esp. when I was frantic at times! (3) She's like a close girlfriend you can turn to, count on, and rely on. You can run ideas by her and she'll tell you honestly if it's a good or bad idea. She will make you look your best! (4) She's very responsive. She answered tons of emails, questions, calls, etc. at all hours. (5) She will work within your budget. She will give you multiple options and choices. She will also stretch your dollar and make the important things stand out. We were offered multiple discounts from vendors through her. (6) She is well-connected with the vendors. (7) She was organized. On your wedding day, her team is a well-oiled machine. You need something last-minute? They've got it covered. Her team is on top of the schedule and will help everyone stay on track. They are constantly multitasking and you can trust your day in their hands. (8) She and her team are consummate professionals. (9) She is trustworthy. It got to a point where I trusted her judgment better than anyone else's! (10) She's got great taste and style. You cannot buy this! You have to be born with this! Natalie has an eye for beautiful and gorgeous things. She even has an artistic background and knows how to make a vision a reality. I can't say it enough: You can’t buy good taste! You can trust Natalie's design aesthetic. You can trust that she will elevate not one, but ALL of your ideas, and somehow create something far more breathtaking, stunning, gorgeous, enchanting, and magical than you could ever dream of yourself! The guests at our 200+ wedding were literally blown away by our wedding. Like jawdrop and awe! Even now, to this very day, we still get told that our wedding was the most luxurious and stunning wedding our guests had ever seen! Even strangers (friends of friends) still comment to us that they saw our wedding somehow through friends’ social media and were amazed! Natalie did that! She designed that! She magically elevated our ideas and transformed them into something greater! I’m one of the pickiest and hard-to-please people I know. And I’m telling you, I was floored by Natalie’s and her team’s work on my wedding day! Natalie makes dreams come true! So don’t delay! You will not be disappointed in her team and their services. She is well worth every penny! You simply cannot go wrong with Natalie or her amazing team from A Good Affair! Find out for yourself!!!

design for our dessert table and the table settings were exactly as I had pictured. I have to say, I wasn't a very involved bride--which is why I wanted to hire planners. Of course, I was excited to be married but the actual planning of a wedding day was not my thing. I did send a few photos to A Good Affair giving them ideas of what my vision was and during our mock-up I told them what I liked and didn't like. From those simple interactions, they nailed what I imagined! I really cannot say enough how beautiful they made our day and how easy Janel was to work with each day. My only draw backs were that my husbands one request was a specific type of beer be served, which I mentioned multiple times, and we didn't even have enough for him to get one. Not a huge deal, but I wanted him to have that since it was his only recommendation. Also, we never saw our flowers again. I left my bridal bouquet in the Bridal suite and it was never brought back with the rest of my stuff which disappointed me. All in all, I would highly recommend A Good Affair as they made wedding planning enjoyable and gave us a perfect day!

an easy task. Although, A Good Affair assisted in a smooth planning process, our initial wedding planner assigned to us left the company in the middle of the planning process, which was both disappointing and inconvenient. However, our wedding was reassigned to Anna Nguyen who remained professional throughout the planning process. Anna executed her day-of-duties (e.g. coordinating vendor deliveries/arrivals/pickups, providing timelines, etc.!), which was pivotal in making our big day appear seamless. Anna was honest and forthcoming in interactions regarding staying within budget and having realistic expectations. She has a bubbly personality and was a pleasure to work with along with her assistance that she brought to the wedding. Anna allowed me (the Bride) to communicate my vision and be heard, which was important when vendor meetings were set up. Additionally, Anna was prompt with email responses and communication. A Good Affair maintains a strong alliance with the most reputable vendors across Orange County and Los Angeles. By knowing this it provided a sense of security when entering into contracts trusting these people would be reliable and deliver. If you want the best, hire the best. Your wedding will not only be a good affair, but an affair you will remember for a lifetime!

enabled her to fully grasp our vision and execute it to perfection on our wedding day. We had quite a few hurdles during our planning process that were out of Anna’s control, but she made it her priority to correct the issues promptly. An example of this is our original venue called and unexpectedly canceled on us just two months before our wedding. Within a week, Anna found and secured a new and even better venue for our wedding. Our wedding day could not have been more perfect. Not one thing went wrong. The team Anna pulled together (and vendors she recommended that we hired) worked together beautifully. We were able to relax and enjoy our day completely while Anna and team set up the ceremony and reception areas executing our vision exactly how we pictured it. Anna has incredible taste and asked us to trust her that day. We felt so comfortable letting Anna do her job- there was nothing we were worried about. It was seriously gorgeous. Wedding planning is an arduous feat and I don’t think people understand that until they go through it. It really isn’t easy to pull together a team the way Anna did and I could not imagine what it would have been like without her. A Good Affair was an incredible value for the services it provided and I could not recommend this company, and specifically Anna, more. Great Job Anna! We <3 You!

view on Natalie Good and her team, I would recommend Natalie to any couple planning the wedding of their dreams for one essential reason: she simply OVER delivers value each and every time throughout the wedding planning process! Planning a wedding is a very difficult, time-consuming and stressful task. This is a once in-a-lifetime event that requires dedicated planning for months, if not a year, ahead of time. If you have never planned such an event before, you will quickly learn how many different components and little intricacies are involved when planning one of the most important days of your life. If planning a wedding is difficult and stressful, planning a dream wedding -- truly an epic wedding of your dreams! -- is infinitely more difficult and stressful! Everything must be perfect! Or so we diligently plan many months ahead for this one particular calendar day (weather included!) to be perfect... But it is very likely that things will not go as planned and you will be thrown many "curve balls" throughout the process. This is when Natalie and her team truly shines! Natalie is so flexible and has worked with so many different dream wedding experiences that they always come up with solutions that you are not only satisfied with, but absolutely happy with! As I mentioned above, she just OVER delivers every step of the way! From the very first day, you can feel her genuine passion for her craft. We assembled a dream team of vendors based on her excellent recommendations (and familiarity with vendors). After my wife and I shared our vision of our dream wedding, we did our best to simply let her work as freely as possible. She is a truly creative soul -- an artist that will create a masterpiece with the canvas being your wedding! My wife and I are ecstatic with the wedding day masterpiece that Natalie and her team painted for us and our families! Throughout the wedding planning process, you will inevitably encounter many "curve balls" but there is none better than Natalie and her team in helping you navigate through these obstacles with their plethora of experience, originality and passion. The masterpiece is finished for me and my family, but we would all wholeheartedly recommend Natalie and her team to any couple that wants to plan a dream wedding! We have consistently received comments like "your wedding was the most beautiful wedding I have ever been too!" (except for their own weddings of course hehe!) Her designs are a true work of art and the service, responsiveness and resourcefulness of her team is undoubtedly five-star, top class. If you want a true masterpiece of a wedding -- the wedding of your dreams -- then you must choose Natalie Good and her incredible team to create your wedding day masterpiece!

air). I was the type of bride that did not have a clue about what I wanted my wedding to be like. The only thing I really knew was that I wanted it to be beautiful and a fun experience. As Natalie got to know my husband and I better she developed a better understanding about our style and how best to reflect that. On the rare occasion that she presented something to me that I did not care for, I felt completely comfortable letting her know because of how well she would respond. A Good Affair had a very organized and strategic approach to planning a wedding. After finding the venue, our first priority was getting contracts with our desired venders and then we moved on to planning what it would look like. I enjoyed the process of choosing my vendors (all of which I absolutely loved). Natalie would send me a list of options they thought I would like and I could just pick which one I liked the best. They were always happy to send me more options if I needed. Something else that I think is very unique about AGA is how you have the opportunity to work with the entire team. I would constantly get emails from different team members that were just checking in on me to see if there was anything that I needed (and they would always respond to whatever my needs were). There is not one thing I would have changed about my wedding day. Although I knew what the ceremony/reception were going to look like, my jaw still dropped when I saw how beautiful it looked (my mother even started crying)! Natalie and her team are also extremely considerate about your budget. She was always very upfront with what things would cost and would work with you when you felt uncomfortable with an expense. I highly recommend A Good Affair!

ou name it!), helpful, positive, fun and so easy to work with. Her passion for planning and all things wedding is immediately apparent when you work with her and helps to keep the process fun rather than stressful. From her amazing vendor recommendations (she recommended all of the best vendors!) to building a detailed timeline for the day of to being there for you every step of the way on your big day to getting to know you/your groom so well that she anticipates what you're going to decide - she's unbelievably talented! About a month before the wedding, I still felt at complete ease and remember talking to her to see if I should be more stressed than I was because everybody I knew that had gotten married was in a frantic mess one month out. She laughed at me and calmly said that's exactly why I hired her. I wasn't stressed at all during the planning process or on the day of. It is so worth it to get a professional like Jayme on your team and I recommend her without any reservations! When it came to designing our big day, Natalie took our vision and executed it to beyond perfection! Everything Natalie touches turns to gold. If you're thinking you don't need someone to design your wedding, you'll want to reconsider when you see the unique/original tablescapes and layouts that Natalie comes up with. She was also a huge help when it came to managing stress and saves you so much time. For example, I met with our florist once at the mock up which is pretty much unheard of. Natalie takes charge of drafting up the invoice, calling out all the little details that will look good with the design, and comes to the mock up with you to ensure it looks exactly how you want it to look. This probably saved me a months worth of work and research! Also, a month away from our wedding, our guest count was larger than we expected and we ended up having to swap where we were planning to do cocktails with where we were planning to do dinner. While this would send anybody into a mild panic, Natalie came up with a genius and gorgeous design to make it work better than our original plan. The Country Club members kept coming up to her and her team during set up to say what an unbelievable wedding design it was and how they'd never seen anything like it in 30 years of membership! She dreams outside of the box and is worth every penny. There aren't enough ways to say thank you to A Good Affair! They are the best in the business!

a reality. Having them as planners and assistants gave us both the freedom to enjoy the process and the day without a care for what needed to be done or what mishaps and bumps in the road happened along the way. A Good Affair handled every issue with professionalism and loving care.. Their services and the recommended vendors came at a cost, but money well spent - I would plan to spend at least 25% more than what you think you will spend - that being said - I would definetely recommend their services. They are a trustworthy company that you can invest in. My daughters wedding was an event to treasure for a lifetime, and I am happy that every family member was able to enjoy the magical day.

ten felt like, shouldn't I be doing more? It really was so manageable. But that's because Jayme had it all handled. I never thought the day could live up to the hype, but it really was the best day ever. And everyone involved loved working with her because she is such a wonderful human being while still being on top of everything. We adore Jayme and will miss talking to her regularly!

seemed to be a impossible timeline. From her aesthetic taste level to attention to detail, Natalie's wealth of experience in wedding planning and her natural instinct made our wedding perfect and seamless. She gave recommendations when I needed advice and valued my opinions when I had my preferences, she is truly the best wedding planner anyone can ask for. I highly recommend her for any brides who want the best for her wedding!! :)

n. Anna is an exceptional wedding planner. She is thorough, communicative, calm under pressure, resourceful, personable, creative, professional, and passionate. With Anna’s help and vision, I was able to transform my blank-slate venue into a beautiful and welcoming space. Our guests’ rave reviews of our wedding validated all of Anna’s hard work. Thanks to Anna and the rest of the A Good Affair team for making sure my big day was happy and carefree! You have exceeded my expectations. Bravo!

heard from an Armenian that it was refreshing to not have the typical traditional Armenian wedding. The food with the Armenian twists was new and exciting for everyone. They reinvented the wheel to everyone's delight. I heard from so many people how much they ate! The design of the room was exquisite. Natalie, you nailed it with the layout. The flowers were absolutely gorgeous. I never expected so many bouquets but it filled the room with joy. Anna ran all the details with the precision of a little Napoleon. I did not worry about anything. If there were snags, I did not see them. I was so happy we had the expert help to create Sandra's and my dream wedding. It was a fabulous day all around! Anna & Natalie....THANK YOU!!!!! - Mother of the Bride "Fancy Ice"

and a great communicator! I can't thank Jayme and her team enough for everything they did! Our wedding was everything we wanted! Thank you again!!

ide) of many of the last minute duties leading up to the wedding. Jayme was so knowledgeable and competent and took time to understand and help bring our wedding day vision to life during the planning phase. The week before she took over so many little details that helped so much leading up to our wedding day. It allowed us the bit of extra time to just enjoy the process and visit with our out of town guests! The day of, she was on top of everything from our venue set up, to coordinating with the other venders, and making sure we were all on schedule. Jayme was so friendly, bubbly and her presence left us both feeling excited during the day and relieved of the usual wedding stress! Our wedding was really a dream come true for my husband and I thanks to Jayme and her wonderful assistant Aubrey. I am so thankful we had them there during our wedding experience!

ay. That night she sent me over a mock timeline that she had created based on her meetings with all our vendors. Jayme should up to our wedding rehearsal walked the whole bridal party through what was going to happen tomorrow and then met with me in my bridal suite to go over all our decorations so she knew exactly where everything should be. The day of the wedding she should up with her team of superstars and from that minute I didn't have to worry about a thing! Words can't describe how grateful I am that I got Jayme as my wedding coordinator. If it wasn't for her I honestly don't know what I would've done. Thank you Thank you Thank you Jayme and the rest of A Good Affair Team!!

ated things so well all night. There was never a let down. I would highly recommend them!

us create memories before the wedding itself. Natalie provided this beyond our expectations. We looked forward to every vendor and planning meeting, knowing it would be fun and filled with laughter. She presented us with vendor options, then navigated their selection and handled the contracts. When obstacles arose, as they always do, she had the uncanny ability to seamlessly and calming immediately envision and create an alternative even more incredible, all with grace, compassion and patience. We particularly appreciated her accessibility and detailed timelines. Her story boards are everything – we still talk about the chills we got when we first saw it. Her attention to the slightest detail is impressive, absolute perfection! Our jaws dropped when we first saw the ceremony and reception sites, and we heard countless times from our guests that they had never seen décor as beautiful and unique. There were no glitches (at least none that we knew of), which left us free to spend time with our guests and be in the moment. Perhaps the best endorsement came from my husband who, when he watched all that Natalie did unfold, said he was surprised that her fee wasn’t much higher – how often do you hear that from the father of the bride?!! I asked my daughter and new son-in-law at the end of the night if there was anything they would have changed, and they said not a thing, it was everything they’d hoped for and more. As I told Natalie the day after the wedding, I had only one regret: that I didn’t have another daughter so we could do this all over again. There are not sufficient words to express how much I appreciate and love Natalie. Anyone planning a wedding should give themselves the gift of Natalie and the team of A Good Affair.

d decided to postpone our planning so that we could reevaluate what we truly wanted in a wedding, so it could be the most enjoyable experience for us. Natalie was kind enough to allow us to contact her when we had figured everything out, so as we didn’t have to forfeit our deposit. This went a long way with us, it was such a relief in such a stressful time to know that she would be there for us. When we returned later in the year, we had drastically changed our plans to a TINY (14 people including b&g) wedding in Hawaii. Natalie embraced this and really ran with it. Through the whole planning process, she was easy to contact, and if not Natalie herself, her girls were always fast at responding. Our wedding was absolutely incredible. She pulled together all these vendors without going there (no taste tests… nothing) and designed an event that was so personal and intimate, it was everything we could have asked for and more. I would not hesitate to hire Natalie and A Good Affair again for future events (ahem... baby shower? Vow renewal?). They made the wedding week (and months of planning) such a fun experience, I want to do it all over again! Thank you Natalie, Jason and everyone at A Good Affair!

knew we wanted to hire a day of coordinator to help relieve the stress and allow us to enjoy every minute of our wedding, and she did exactly that!! What makes Kristin such a great coordinator is that she is capable of making adjustments on the fly and not letting anyone but herself know that something did not go exactly as planned. She is organized, efficient, and accommodating (not only to the bride/groom but all important parties of the wedding). I highly recommend Kristin to every bride and groom! Thanks Kristin and A Good Affair Wedding!! Annie and Kevin Garrett

o write her a short email and I always knew that I would have an answer back right away. With her dealing with myself and my mom throughout the process my husband wasn't too sure on how much she would help since he saw us doing a lot of the planning. But the night of our reception he said how happy he was with Anna and all her hard work. From the rehearsal night the night before the wedding to the wedding day, everyone was telling me how on top of everything Anna was. My wedding party and in laws were so happy that she gave each of them a timeline of how everything was going to go on the wedding day. Not sure how much time we were going to have to dance and party due to how the timeline looked, in the end everyone was so happy. I had a lot of compliments from my wedding party that got to see how Anna worked, to my guest that didn't see....I had a lot of comments on how awesomely smooth and well ran our wedding day was. I couldn't thank Anna for executing everything to making the night go so well, to making all my décor I had brought look the way I had pictured it to turn out. I couldn't imagine our wedding day as great as it was without Anna and her assistant! She's amazing!!!!

d. She has incredible attention to details and works so hard to make everything perfect. She and her team were amazing and I was really blessed to have her! I would tell everyone to use her because she made everything go perfect!!!

or research and brought it all to me and all I had to do was pick one! Thank you Natalie and team for making my entire wedding planning process and wedding day so memorable and magical!!

njoy our celebration to the fullest with our family and friends. We live in France, so planning from a distance was stressful in the beginning. Once we met Anna, what a relief ! Everything went smoothly. She was always so available. We communicated by emails, so because of the time shift there were couple of times when we answered on a day she was out of the office, but she answered all our emails even when out of the office. She really put herself into everything she did, finding vendors for us within our budget, visiting private properties for us (which were far away), taking pictures and videos so we could have a good look of the venue. We got a lot more than what we expected. Anna and her team transformed the simple garden into the most intimate and yummy wonderland. She checked on us throughout the day and made sure we never needed anything. She put effort in every detail and planned things exactly how we wanted it. We are overjoyed and forever grateful. Anna gave us her personal attention for our wedding and it was perfect. You get more than what you pay for. We wholeheartedly recommend Anna.

we were both working. I fell in love with her booth and tablescape and wanted to go introduce myself. Once we started talking, we realized how much we had in common... like our love of gold, Michael Kors, & anything that sparkled! After Christmas we decided to have an actual meeting with my mom. We thought we would go down to spend a little time looking at her work and go from there. Two hours later.... mom and I both knew we couldn't do this without her! She first started this journey by planning an exquisite engagement party for our family and friends. It took 5 months, crazy amounts of emails, & a kick butt planner. Once that was done, the work began. We worked with Natalie and her team for months to make sure everything was just perfect. There were design meetings and florist meetings and cake meetings and decor meetings. It was almost like Natalie jumped in my head and knew exactly what I would want and what I wouldn't want. When it came time for our big day, I knew everything would be handled and I wouldn't have to worry about anything. Our wedding day was completely perfect and if anything went wrong, we didn't know about it. I absolutely loved having the ability to work with Natalie and her team for our engagement party and our wedding. They made everything easy and I knew they wanted us to have our Fairy tale Wedding.

at definitely set Natalie apart from all the other planners is the design service she provides. In addition to planning and coordinating, Natalie was instrumental in the design process. We had several design meetings with her where we brainstormed ideas together so she can get a sense of our likes and dislikes. She put together a beautiful and elegant proposal and we felt like she really understood. From colors, patterns, themes, entertainment, flowers, and etc, Natalie was there to help us from the initial design all the way to execution. Natalie and her team were so good at helping us narrow down vendors that fit our style and budget. We lived a bit far away so they were able to coordinate with all our vendors to make the most of our visits. On the day of the wedding, Natalie and her team took care of everything…I MEAN EVERYTHING!! From setting up to taking everything down, they did all the work. They took care of the timeline and coordinated with all the vendors, leaving us time to enjoy every moment of the wedding. I can’t imagine it to be any more stress free. Picking Natalie was definitely the best decision we made and I have to say she is worth every penny. Natalie and her team put together a dream come true wedding for us and it could not have been more perfect. We are eternally grateful for all the hard work AGA put into making our dream wedding into a reality!

he same venue but in different spaces with different decor and 200+ guests--not the simplest undertaking!). Her "can do" attitude made me instantly sure that I could rely on her. She was so good about balancing my design and aesthetic choices with my budget and with her industry knowledge. She made everything that we wanted happen. My husband was really involved, too, and she was great at navigating the multiple opinions and priorities. Her team was professional, organized, and communicative. I honestly could not have done it without them! The great thing about Natalie is that she is able to maintain so much professionalism without losing any warmth (which is sooo needed during the sometimes stressful planning process). She was our day-of organizer as well, and our entire day went without a hiccup. She was able to negotiate messy family dynamics and unexpected bumps with grace and without us even knowing they had happened! All in all, I cannot recommend Natalie and team enough. They are awesome!!! (P.S. They are also there for you post-wedding to help you submit to magazines and blogs, if you want them to. She got our wedding featured in a super well-known wedding publication!)

special talent is to multiply your dream wedding by 1000! As soon as I met Natalie, I knew we were a great fit. She was experienced and highly professional, yet sweet and easy to get along with. Since I live in Madrid and was marrying a Spaniard I knew my wedding would be a little tricky! However, the cultural differences, language barriers, and living across the Atlantic didn’t seem to phase Natalie one bit. She embraced it and ran with it. Natalie and her team, including Jennifer and Anna, were extremely organized, emailing me checklists every month. Natalie assured me that during my short visits to California we would accomplish a lot, and she was right! I always had appointments lined up and got to share those experiences with my parents too. It was really nice saving so much time and energy not having to look for venders because we trusted Natalie, her experience, and that her venders were top notch. Natalie made an extra effort for our Spanish guests. We wanted a typical American wedding, but with a splash of Spain. Natalie thought of Spanish props for the photo booth, so I got flamenco aprons, castanets, fans, etc. along with surfer/American props. Everyone LOVED the idea! We had Spanish alcohol and Fanta, and arranged for transportation. Our wedding was bilingual and Natalie’s team handed out translations of the speeches. Natalie’s effort kept everyone happy and in communication! For the decor, Natalie came up with the term “rustic elegance” which really captured our vision, especially at Rancho Las Lomas. She crafted an amazing idea board and later searched high and low to find the decor. If something was unavailable or too costly, she continued brainstorming and searching until she succeeded. The woman is not only an artist, but extremely perseverant! She was even able to incorporate the stunning chandeliers I wanted so badly after running into restrictions at our venue. If there’s a will, there’s a way! However, what I am most grateful for and forever will be is the supportive, kind, and dedicated friend Natalie was when my mother unexpectedly passed away three months before the wedding. It was a complete shock and absolutely devastating. Natalie came to the funeral too. I wasn’t sure I even wanted get married at that point. However, as time passed, I thought about what my mother would have wanted for me. I knew she wanted me to have the beautiful wedding she had so happily been helping me plan with Natalie. When Natalie asked me what I wanted to do, I mustered up all my strength and decided to go full speed ahead. I’m so glad I did, too. My wedding day was absolutely incredible. Thanks to AGA, the day went off without a hitch. I loved Natalie’s idea of releasing monarch butterflies in memory of my mother because I felt like she was there too. The guests kept telling me it was the most beautiful wedding they’d ever seen, and it was true! It was even more beautiful that I could have ever imagined. I knew my mother would have been so proud. Natalie went above and beyond to make all those months of scheming and dreaming together a reality. It’s something Alejandro and I will always treasure. Thank you Natalie! We love you!!!

nning. It was fantastic. She took care of things that I didn't even think of before I even asked about them. Everything especially magically got done and fell into place right before the wedding (about a month before), so unlike many brides I wasn't stressed at all. About anything. Any problems I was having with people were often taken care of before I knew about it, and the ones I knew about she just completely took care of. She has a really good feel for people, so everyone she thought we would like, we loved instantly. A few people I found that she didn't think we would like, we absolutely hated so she was spot on every time. Also she probably saved us ~ $2,000 with various vendor discounts. Our wedding was pretty small (~70 people ~45K) so the bigger your wedding the larger the discounts would be. The people she pointed us towards were also all in our price range so I could actually pick what I liked best and didn't really have to worry too much about making sure I can afford it etc. Our wedding came out absolutely amazing and everyone was super impressed. I highly recommend Jennifer. Seriously the best money I spent out of the whole wedding. Also, if you're a no bs kind of person (like me) she is great at communicating / dealing with you. Most other people we talked to were very "floofie". As soon as she met me and my fiancé (both scientists) she saw that we weren't really feeling the "love story" approach and right away switched gears from the touchie-feelie crap to get down to business. This is something on one else could do. She was therefore also a great interpreter between us and the more touchie-feelie vendors.

was under control and was always a phone call, text or email away, even on her days off. At my most anxious times, she put me at ease, reassuring that everything will work out perfectly (which it did), and for that, I am forever grateful! The best decision I made was working with Jennifer and A Good Affair!

wouldn’t miss not one small detail and that everything would go perfectly and look amazing. Jennifer always kept in touch to make sure I was doing ok and had everything under control. She was always willing to help and responded to all her emails, which is nice. Jennifer was very personable and easy to talk to, so I felt very comfortable working with her. I would highly recommend both A Good Affair and Jennifer to anyone in need of a wedding coordinator/service.

rst rodeo, so she knew all the ins and outs for us to think about. She had things planned down to the minute and worked with us so closely and attentively. Everything went as smoothly as possible and we had the wedding of our lives. I don't know how we could have gotten things done without her. The icing on the cake was how nice and personable she was throughout the whole process.

were so very helpful even before my 30 days and kept everything the day of the wedding including Me from getting out of hand even when the DJ didnt charge his laptop and there was no music. Thanks for everything Janice

ad suggested, there was never an awkward feeling in the room… she just scrapped the idea and we moved on… usually to something more spectacular that she suggested! Being that we live in New York, it was difficult for us to get down to Laguna Beach where our wedding took place, so we did quite a bit of planning through Skype, phone calls and emails. So to potential clients that live elsewhere, don't count Natalie's team out. She was with us every step of the way. Our best advice to potential brides and grooms thinking about hiring Natalie's team - do it! You will not be disappointed. She created a masterpiece of a wedding, and she can do it for you, too!

was in place - every part of our say. I am very type A and like to be in control of what I have planned and as we got closer to the wedding I was so at ease that she was all over it and I felt like she was one step ahead of me. When the day came...I felt that way but even more so...having never been a bride before she knew all of the little things that mattered to make the day perfect!! You have to use A Good Affair!

es, hell yes, and almost none...then you probably need a wedding planner. So you should probably choose the best, and Natalie Good is hands-down the BEST. She knows every venue and vendor in Orange County and even up into LA and beyond. She gets great deals from reliable and professional vendors, all vetted and trusted so you don't have to guess or worry up to and including your wedding day. And value? Natalie slashed our venue/catering quote in half and more than paid for her fee in doing so! Our lives and schedules carried on as normal throughout the process because we didn't have to meet with any excess vendors...and this is just the peripheral stuff. The real reason you want Natalie is her wedding design. She can adapt to any style, but if you just let her be the true pro that she is, you'll get a wedding that is classy and stunning. All of your guests will have a blast and leave very impressed. Natalie also has a bold personality, perfect for helping you get what you want but also necessary for putting you in check when you decide you want a petting zoo at your wedding. I could go on and on about how much she did for us, but it comes down to this: the bride will be madly in love with everything she does, but she is really a groom's best friend because her full repertoire of skills allowed me to get away with doing as little as possible and still have an outstanding event that was the best time of my life.

t at suggesting details (specifically with our wedding, she told us to use cherry blossom trees that MADE the ceremony space and reception area come alive)! She also works with the best vendors in the area. What I'm saying is, just trust that Natalie is going to deliver something truly remarkable that guests won't be able to stop talking about for months, and memories that will last forever. She even timed our ceremony to end at sunset! She will be with you every step of the way. Being clients that live in NYC, we only made it to Orange County twice in 7 months, and planned the entire event over the phone. She will hold your hand, calm you down, and DELIVER! Not only that, we didn't hire a videographer for our special day, and at the last second her assistant volunteered to videotape our ceremony (thank goodness)! But how nice was that? Expect a positive, professional attitude from her entire team. I could really tell they were invested in making our day special. We both couldn't be happier and more thankful to Natalie and her team, and we fully recommend A Good Affair to plan your wedding!

e next level. They brought so many ideas to the table that I would have never thought of. And they made sure every little detail was taken care of. I truly could not imagine how I would have survived planning without them!

n wedding started to take its toll on me (and my mom)! A friend suggested I contact Natalie Good, and boy am I glad I did. She was amazing at helping us find vendors and made sure that the day was absolutely perfect. We had an amazing wedding and I could not have done it without Natalie and Jen and the rest of the team! Natalie has built so many great relationships with so many wonderful vendors. She is organized, honest, and efficient. I will be recommending A Good Affair to everyone I know who gets engaged. Natalie, thank you for reassuring me and helping me to be a little less stressed throughout the wedding process. My husband and I loved our wedding and most importantly we were able to have fun at our wedding all thanks to Natalie and the AGA team!! :)

ind all of our vendors and attended every vendor meeting with us. All of her vendors were amazing! We couldn't have been happier. As the bride, I would get stressed and nervous about the wedding but whenever I talked to Jennifer or emailed her, she always had everything under control and I didn't have to worry. She is very professional and responds to questions and concerns very speedily. (Which is important as a stressed out bride haha) The day of the wedding went so smoothly. It was absolutely perfect! We even had guests commenting about how great Jennifer was and how it was the best ran and organized wedding they had been to. She definitely made our wedding dreams come true! My groom and I enjoyed our dinner meetings with Jennifer and always had such a good time with her! She's very organized, personable, and easy going. Simply put, she's a fun person to be around and someone you want to work with throughout the wedding planning process. She's not just a wedding planner, she's now a friend. Thanks Jenn! So happy we chose A Good Affair!

ey make your dreams a reality. You spend months of planning each and every detail so it’s vital that you hire the best to execute your vision. Kristin at a Good Affair was the person who made everything come together. Kristin was friendly, professional and made sure that every detail was perfect. I had a huge wedding (almost 300 guests and my bridal party had 9 bridesmaids plus sponsors, etc.) and she made sure that everything was smooth, on time and stress free (for myself, my bridal party and all my guests). Kristin at A Good Affair was definitely one of my best wedding investments.

it never would have happened without Natalie. She was there with us every step of the way creating an incredible design board from our first planning mtgs, connecting us to the best photographer, DJ/lighting, videographer, florist, wedding cake and officiant, jumping up and down with me while I got my final dress fitting, having a good affair chapstick to save me at the reception :) and coming up with the coolest ideas to make this the most special day of our lives. We had a Pink Confetti Cannon!!!! I didn't even know those existed haha and it was AWESOME!!! Natalie brought every idea and wish we had for our wedding to life and then made it even better!! Thank you Natalie for everything! Recommending Natalie to all my friends and can't wait to have another reason to plan a party with her! We hired a wedding planner but now have a friend for life! Thank you Natalie!!

or beauty and style. Natalie and her staff are incredibly hard-working as well as caring and compassionate individuals who love bringing to life the dreams of brides and grooms. Thanks to A Good Affair, our wedding dreams were fulfilled!

hs to plan a large wedding of over 150 people with family and friends coming from all over the world (12 countries to be exact). During the entire time, Natalie was very responsive when we had questions and also was very helpful with ideas when we needed suggestions. After engaging Natalie for her services, she promptly sprang into action. She joined us for a walk-through of the venue. She made sure to highlight all the major and important points that we needed to focus on during the months prior to our wedding. Whilst my wife is very detail-oriented and organized, Natalie used her own breadth of knowledge and experience to take things to a higher level. Her attention to detail shined in the weeks leading up to the wedding. One crucial aspect about Natalie was how well she handled problematic situations regarding our venue and vendors with ease. When our wedding day came, Natalie and her team were a delight. They were calm, focused despite all the challenges our venue was giving them. The event went so smoothly because of her excellence in management and coordination. We couldn't recommend her more highly.

only would reflect our personalities/styles but also within a short amount of time. We found Natalie Good after extensively researching wedding coordinators online and hired her for our September wedding for both A Good Affair Design and A Good Affair Planning services. It was one of the best wedding planning decisions we could have made. We cannot recommend Natalie and her team enough. They were professional, organized, creative, and have a strong attention for detail. In addition, Natalie is warm, enthusiastic and accessible- our emails were answered immediately by her or her team and we felt like she was always available to talk through an issue, a decision or an etiquette question. In the planning phase, she helped brainstorm the overall design of the ceremony and reception and connected us with excellent vendors at a discounted rate such as a photographer (Clayton Austin), florals (French Buckets), pianist (Denny White) for the ceremony and reception, party rentals (Storied Rentals) and other vendors (e.g. Stationers - East Six Design, DJ - Elevated Pulse). Her recommendations were invaluable- we were thrilled with everyone we worked with for the wedding, and without Natalie, we would’ve had an extremely difficult time sifting through countless vendors. On the organization front, she was outstanding in every respect. From the outset, Natalie inspired the utmost confidence. It was very easy to trust that she or her team were handling the month-to-month details from liaising with the venue to giving us monthly checklists, running our rehearsal and providing timelines for the Big Day and during the whole week of our wedding when we needed her the most, she readily took care of everything. As a result, we were able to enjoy all the events leading up to the wedding and the big day itself. A Good Affair helped us realize our vision for the wedding, and we couldn’t have been happier with how our Big Day turned out- the event radiated warmth, elegance, love, and everyone had a wonderful time saying that it felt like being in a dream. Simply put, a Good Affair is remarkable.

with the loss in money and re-invested with Natalie. No other florists could completely understand our vision and within minutes of our first conversation with Natalie, we knew we'd made the right decision. Natalie is incredibly talented, a pleasure to work with, and manages to blow your mind. We have and will continue to recommend her services. Love - a very happy bride

r the day and she was able to help me narrow everything down into a perfect vision of what it would be. She is so laid back, organized, helpful, and always willing to help out and answer questions (plus she knows really good places to eat!) I know AGA has many clients and events but Jennifer made me feel like I was her only bride! A Good Affair is also in great standing with many vendors and it was great knowing that Jennifer had worked with my caterer and venue many times so I felt reassured that everything would go off without a hitch. The day-of was so smooth, there was no problems at all (and if there was I didn't know about it!) She kept us on track for the evening and made sure we got to eat! I highly recommend this company, they are true professionals who will strive to work with your budget and make your day be as perfect as possible. I can't wait to work with them again!

entire process!! She was always available, always willing to give help/advice (even when I needed help choosing a dress!) and was always willing to go the extra mile for us (even offered to pick up appetizers for us the day-of!) Jen & her team were rockstars on our wedding day, we had a lot of DIY decor that needed to be set-up and they absolutely nailed our vision!! It was such a relief not having to worry about a thing on our wedding day and I couldn't have imagined the day without her & AGA. My husband (then fiance) was hesitant to have a coordinator as we were on a budget but even he agreed that Jen & AGA was the best decision we made!! Thanks so much Jen & AGA!!! You're the best!

assion and attention to detail that made our special day that much more special. You and your staff possess incredible integrity, attention to detail, and a superior level of service. Yet, despite your high degree of professionalism, your team displays a warm welcoming way of interacting with our friends and families. That is something we will never forget. We give you our highest recommendation and will refer "A Good Affair" to all of our friends and family. Thank you for everything! Karl Katnik

ns and advice! She checked in regularly to make sure we were on track and really took her time to understand our vision. Kristin is excellent and passionate about what she does and went above and beyond to ensure our day was flawless. She went as far as driving out of her way on her lunch break to pick up a one of a kind table for us to use as our sweetheart table and even hauled it 3 hours to our venue!! On our wedding day, my husband and I were completely blown away when we saw how beautiful everything was and how the day went by so seamlessly. I can’t express the joy I personally felt when I saw how perfectly every detail we had worked so hard on had been put into place, better than I could have even imagined it. I can’t fathom going through the wedding planning process without Kristin, she is professional, detail oriented, knowledgeable, and so much fun to work with! Thank you Kristin, for your help in making our day so absolutely amazing!

we could have asked for. Leading up to the wedding, I was living in Colorado and traveling to California to see my wife every 2 weeks so I was unable to attend all of the vendor meetings and appointments. Jennifer scheduled and accompanied my wife to each of the vendor meetings and even suggested a few vendors that we ultimately went with. In addition to scheduling vendor meetings, she also played a large role in helping us establish our theme and design our perfect wedding. Jennifer created a design idea board that brought the ideas to life. We also hired "A Good Affair" to provide and create all of our flower arrangements for the wedding. This was one of the best decisions we could have made considering that they were already so in tune with our wedding design. All of the arrangements and decorative flowers looked amazing and coincided with our theme. As I mentioned before, working with Jennifer was one of the best decisions we could have made for many reasons but in my opinion, the most important reason was how smooth and seamless our ceremony and reception went under her coordination. Her previous experience really shined through as she ensured that each important moment of our day went off without a single issue. At the end of our reception, we realized that we got so caught up chatting with guests and dancing that we missed our chance to get a slice of our wedding cake. As we were getting into the car to head back to our hotel, Jen mentioned that she had saved several pieces of cake for us and that they were waiting for us in the backseat. It was this attention to detail throughout the ceremony and reception that really made our day special. We thank Jen for all her hard work and consideration in making our wedding day amazing!

My husband, my mom, and I knew that Natalie was a perfect fit for us from our very first meeting. I was able to share my ideas with Natalie and she turned them into a reality. My favorite thing about Natalie was that I was able to call her or text her whenever I needed to run something by her and she never made me feel like I was taking too much of her time or bothering her. She always made me feel important and was ready to bear the burden of the wedding planning stress for me. I know other planners offer a certain amount of time face to face and over the phone. Natalie never made me feel like my time with her was time limited. Natalie and her team were also able to keep my mom feeling relaxed through the wedding process which was absolutely amazing. Natalie was also in charge of the design for our wedding. All I can say is she absolutely exceeded my expectations. Natalie was respectful of my budget and executed a design that was beyond what I could have ever imagined. Even though we knew Natalie would not let us down.....she over-delivered and made our wedding day an absolute dream. On the day of the event I did not feel an ounce of stress because Natalie and her team took care of EVERYTHING. My husband and I were able to enjoy every minute of the day with family and friends because Natalie and her team had every detail covered. My husband couldn't believe how Natalie's team made sure that we always had food and water at our table and a drink in our hand. We felt waited on hand and foot. I will recommend A Good Affair to any bride and groom and can't wait to use Natalie and her team in the future for other types of events. Thank you A Good Affair for providing me with the most enjoyable wedding planning experience and fantastic wedding day.

y. My husband and I are pretty random…very traditional, yet modern, we are tattooed but wanted elegance, and we had a large budget. Natalie made sure that we got the best that was out there, made sure we worked with honest vendors who weren’t just looking to shoot a price up, she fought tooth and nail for us when she needed to, and she always delivered. We had the pleasure of working with her for a year and a half as we planned the biggest day of our lives, and it was a great year and a half to say the least! Every time we had something we liked, she would find it and make it better than we knew possible. People always asked me…are you nervous? Are you stressed? Are you ready? My answer was always, yep, Natalie has it covered! I never had a doubt in my mind that Natalie and her team would be able to deliver the best event to ever hit Pelican Hill, and they didn’t let us down. The minute I got to walk into the ballroom to get a sneak peak before everyone went inside, I almost fainted. The room far exceeded our expectations, it was better that I could have ever dreamed in a million years. They had done it, and we could not have been more excited. The evening went on without a hitch, and if there was a hitch, none of us ever knew about it. Natalie had this vision that no one else has done…we started with a DJ and ended with a band. But no one knew the band even existed until we pulled the curtains back to a whole different room no one saw, and we had an after party lounge and the party really began. Even though our vendors weren’t used to our little switch up, it was AWESOME, and everyone is still talking about it. If you are looking for a team to do it right the first time, where you won’t feel regrets, this is your team.

team at A Good Affair are a dream. From her design inspiration to the vendors she recommended, everything was handled perfectly. The wedding on May 11 at Pelican Hill was everything we had hoped for. No detail was missed and my husband and I were able to enjoy it all knowing Natalie had everything under control. We were essentially guests at our own party. I know every mother and bride feels that her wedding was the best (as it should be) but we had several compliments from newly married couples saying they enjoyed our wedding even more than their own. Natalie continued the celebration for us the following day by planning a beautiful brunch/open house at our home for 75 out of town guests. It was a whirlwind of a weekend but we were sorry to see the magic end. It’s not often that you work on a project for many months and have only positive experiences as well as make a new friend. We look forward to working with Natalie and her team in the future.

wed down and picked a different wedding planner who was warm and creative and had many of her weddings published in all of the big places. But since I had already scheduled the meeting with Natalie, I thought I would just meet for the heck of it--couldn't hurt. I am so glad I didn't cancel that meeting. In short, Natalie is on top of EVERYTHING while still managing to laugh and keep a smile on my face throughout the entire process. Her monthly checklist as well as her regular check-ins--to see how I was doing and if i needed help--made the daunting task of planning the wedding so easy. She understood my style and theme and was able to support it by introducing awesome vendors who matched my style and budget. She handled a lot of the communication between these vendors, especially closer to the wedding, and offered sound/practical advice (always getting back to me quickly!) when I wasn't sure what to do. My friends--especially those who were in the process of or who had already planned their own wedding--would regularly remark at how easy going and relaxed I was about the whole planning process. This is remarkable, because as a person with a type-A personality, I did not feel the need to stress over many of the details as I usually would. If I knew that Natalie was taking care of a certain issue or completing a certain project, I knew that I didn't have to worry about a thing. My wedding was beautiful (you should see the backdrop she put together for the ceremony!!) and I had SO much fun working with Natalie to bring all my dreams to fruition. The love she has towards her job and her clients, her creativity and work-ethic, make Natalie and AGA a no-brainer.

My family was so impressed with this company that my sister is also using them for her wedding in July.

utes of our first meeting with her we knew Natalie was the best person for the job. Throughout the entire planning process Natalie was on point and no detail was overlooked. Natalie is extremely patient and makes you feel like you are never bothering her even when you are ;-) As a groom I figured my input didn’t matter much but I was wrong, Natalie made sure to include me in the decision making process as well. The day of our wedding was stress free because Natalie and Jen took care of everything as promised. I remember Jen coming up to us throughout the night to see if we needed anything all. The entire staff at A Good Affair goes above and beyond! Thank you guys for making our special day the Best Day Ever! I’ve said it once but I will say it again because I mean it, Natalie Good needs to change her name to Natalie Amazing!

To us, trust is a very big word that is very hard to earn but we decided to give Natalie and her team pretty much full control of wedding. From setting up meetings with her vendors to helping us choose the right vendor and facility to host our wedding, Natalie made each step a breeze. I recall a conversation that my fiance and I had at the time. She turns to me and goes "I'm worried, we haven't really done anything for the wedding." I replied back to her and said "I think that's the whole goal of having such a great wedding planner, we don't see everything or need to worry about things because she's handling everything." One thing that really stood out is that Natalie and her team are SUPER organized and very accommodating. Every month we would get a checklist of things we needed to get done in order to stay on schedule with our timeline. Not only were they organized, Natalie and her team always answered emails, text messages, phone messages so quick that it was amazing. No matter what time it was, or how busy she got, we never felt that burden or always asking her questions. Natalie was also awesome with working around our schedule for meetings. She knew we had a crazy schedule because one of us worked graveyard shifts while the other didn't, and to be able to work around our schedule (which isn't the the easiest thing to do) Natalie honestly made every meeting go flawless. I think the hardest part of a wedding is the design and flower portion. When it came down to deciding what to do for our design, both my fiance and I had no idea. All we knew is that we wanted a certain look and feel to our wedding, but didn't know how to express that into an actual wedding design. "No need to worry" says Natalie. She said if we wanted and trust her, she would do the design with her team. On our wedding day everyone brought their A game, then again with "A Good Affair" leading point, we wouldn't have expected anything less from everyone. Natalie showed up at our hotel to make sure we were all on schedule. When we arrived at the church, everything seemed to just fall in place, we didn't have to do anything but just show up and follow the lead of all the coordinators and assistants from both the church and A Good Affair. Upon arriving to our venue, we did not know what to expect. Most of the day was taking pictures and again gathering video footage for our same day edit video with Kroh media. Natalie was there to greet us at our venue and took us into the ballroom where the reception was being held....I think both my fiance and I mouth dropped to the floor when we saw what Natalie and her design team came up for our wedding!! We honestly don't know how couples can plan a wedding without a wedding planner. We definitely couldn't imagine having our wedding without a planner, and in choosing a planner, we couldn't imagine going with anyone else but Natalie. She truly is awesome at her job and honestly made such a stressful event non-stressful for both of us. Thank you so much Natalie...in the end, after our wedding is done, we are sad to lose our wedding planner....but are happy to know we gained a new friend!!! Thanks again, Mr. and Mrs. Kevin Nguyen
