Ann Johnson Events

ing day that were not "traditional" and Ann was great working with us to help achieve our vision for the day. She brought a positive energy during our meetings and was professional and communicative throughout the process. Our wedding day went off flawlessly thanks to Ann and her team, and we're so grateful. Highly recommend using AJE if you're planning a wedding in Santa Barbara.

er the past few months to logistics and dad chats, you were so wonderful to work with and made the experience unforgettable for us. I don’t know all the ins and outs from the actual wedding, but all I know is that it felt so smooth by all and EVERYONE keeps texting me about how it was the best wedding ever. I think it’s a testament to you and Hilary and the behind the scenes folks. Also, I don’t know how you guys got the wine out of my dress!!!!!!! 🤣 Thank you thank you thank you for everything. Can we do it again?!!!

whole process smooth and made us feel so special! Ann worked with all our vendors to ensure that our wedding day went perfectly. She thought of every possible detail ahead of time and made sure that everything was what we had wanted. Even our guests commented on what a fantastic wedding coordinator we had. We are so thankful to her for easing the stress of the whole wedding planning process and making the day so wonderful. We can't recommend her enough!

ng season, Ann handled everything flawlessly. Ann and Hilary are a pleasure to work with and we loved having them as our wedding coordinators. We are ever so grateful for making our wedding day so special. If you’re looking for a wedding planner, search no more. Ann Johnson Events is the choice to make!

lpful in finding wonderful vendors for us. Planning was a breeze thanks to her help. On the big day, her team members Sam and Erin were wonderful. They were quick to help make sure everyone was great and when we ran out of some of the alcohol so quickly during the cocktail hour, Erin was quick to get us more! They went above and beyond for us to make sure we did not have to worry about anything during our special day. We could not have asked for a better team.

e could worry. The week before our wedding we needed to find a bartending company. Before I even emailed Ann, she had reached out to one and secured them. This is just one of many things Ann handled for us. She is so sweet and easy to work with. We would highly recommend Ann to any couple!

re our day was seamless and GORGEOUS! She is so fun and easy to work with and took so much extra time that she didn't have to, to help us set up for the rehearsal dinner and wedding day. I left it all to Ann and she knew exactly what I wanted. She is extremely helpful and has worked on so many weddings so also has great contacts and recommendations. Thank you Ann (and Hilary) for an AMAZING wedding day! It was magical! Xoxo

it would entail, so why not hire someone who had planned several, if not hundreds of events? We also decided very early on, that we didn't want to be stressed out on the day of our wedding, dealing with everything a wedding day entails. Well, SHOCKER. Santa Barbara is a bank buster, especially when it comes to weddings, and we started to feel a little discouraged--until we found Ann Johnson Events. Ann's pricing is very reasonable and she is wealth of knowledge when it comes to everything wedding here in town. She was extremely patient with us--so patient, in fact, that she waited for over a year, for us to finally commit to a venue and a date. Ann was always available via email and text (I'm sure by phone too, but does anyone actually call people these days?). I will say that if you are expecting someone to hold your hand and remind you to stay on top of things, Ann may or may not be the planner for you-I didn't really need her to do that for me-so that wasn't an issue for me. She let me go about things at my own pace, and I would just send her contracts as I booked/signed them. And she would answer questions as I asked them or give me referrals if I needed them. About a month before our wedding, she sat down with us, to go over our wedding day timeline, and that was pretty painless. Ann was there at our rehearsal, and was AWESOME in getting some of the groomsmen in line (ha!) and she was great with our ring bearer. On the day of our wedding, Ann and Hilary made sure everything was set up beautifully and they made sure the day ran smoothly and on time. Everything went as we had discussed. My husband was even able to pull off a surprise flamenco performance, with Ann's help-which made our wedding reception so special for us and our guests. Our wedding day was amazing-the only thing we were bummed about, was not having some of the food and some of the dessert boxed up for us to have a little late night snack, but I guess we didn't really mention that as something we might've wanted (Ann did have the cake top boxed up for us to take home though). In the end, if you're the type of bride (or couple) that wants to do things on your own, but with a little bit of help, guidance, or input, then Ann and her team are PERFECT (again, I can't really speak for someone who wants or needs full service planning, but I'm positive Ann and her team are incredibly capable). Ann already knew most of our vendors and had worked with them prior, so that made things easier. She also took care of all the final payments, tips, the card box, etc...It was JUST SO NICE to be able to enjoy our day and be in the moment--we had NONE of the horror stories you so often hear about-if something went wrong, we sure didn't know about it. THANK YOU so much Ann for helping us create one of our most favorite days, Matt and I truly appreciate all the hard work you and Hilary put into making our day so special. If you're still on the fence about hiring a planner or coordinator, GET OFF and CALL ANN JOHNSON EVENTS! BEST DECISION EVER!
