A'Reve Events

Adriana and Whitney were fantastic to work with. They were super easy to get in touch with when I had last-minute questions about Janal and Eric's wedding in Brentwood. Everything went smoothly on the day of the wedding, and they were accommodating and flexible with the timing of events that made my job as the couple's photographer easier. The wedding was beautifully executed and I would recommend them to any bride looking for reliable, professional and fun planners to trust their special day with.

I did a wedding with you as the officiant (Hilow/Behne just last Saturday). Just wanted to say how much I enjoyed working with you and to thank you for being so kind to me after the wedding. I really enjoyed the glass of wine and the plate of appetizers. Hope to work with you again in the near future. Rev. Ray Carter

I am a professional wedding photographer serving the Bay area as well as the Sacramento markets. I had the pleasure of working with A'Reve Event Planning & Design on a wedding at the Berkeley Botanical Gardens just recently. It seems a lot of my weddings are more venue oriented event planners for just the time of the reception. When I heard my couple hired A'Reve Event Planning & Design, I was excited to know a professional was going to keep things on time and organized.throughout the whole day. I was delighted when the wedding was executed exactly the way it was intended and no glitches had to be worked around. A'Reve Event Planning & Design was on top of everything and the bonus was they were a delight to work with. They smiled they kept the tone light and they were organized. Kudos to A'Reve Event Planning & Design.

Sarah's wedding in Emeryville- Aug, 30, 2015, an occasion which our company provided videography services to the couple. The main take away from working with Adrianna was- She truly loves what she does. Our experience with Adriana began 2 months before the event when she initiated phone and email correspondence, communicating updates, addressing questions we had. On the day of, she was warm from the beginning and would prove to be quite the worker bee. Actively engaged with guests, bridal party, and vendors at every stage of the event, Adriana's leadership put everyone at ease, especially Pat and Sarah (whom I can ensure you had a magical time!).

I wasn't going to originally review, but she asked me to review the place about 5 times. so here we go. Review is only for similar parties as mine. Maybe it's great if you don't plan on doing the following: - having over a 100 guests - want candles - want to use your own caterer - need extra coordination/suggestions by the facility on order of wedding. - need the kitchen - want to use the entire house - need an emergency plan. like heat lamps. unless you want to shell out a ton more money, don't count on her helping you out or reacting to that. If you do, choose another venue. Why? - Fairly certain she had never had a large wedding there, maybe never had over 100 ppl there. the parking situation was a nightmare. She mandated that we have 3 valets that we had to pay for. These guys were not getting guests through. people even if they were early, parked on the road and ran into the wedding just so they could see some of the wedding. horrible - Whitney made a comment to me that "it annoyed her so much when candles weren't lit". day of = not. a. single. candle. lit. when asked why? shrugged shoulders...?? - the kitchen/stove broke down. THE KITCHEN BROKE DOWN. no one got food on time. all food came about 3 hours after dinner started. caterer and facility flaw, but the caterer went above and beyond to make it up to us. On a side note, we found this caterer ourselves. which was obviously not her friend/recommendation. she kept saying bad things like she got sick etc. about our caterer even though we gave the one she kept recommending 2 opportunities to wow us. and on top of us doing all the work for that, she made our caterers pay her a finders fee. not cool. - she did not tell the men to walk out prior to the women. in fact, she did very little in terms of instructing which makes me think she had never done this before. based on the other reviews, it's obvious she has done this before, so maybe she was just having a very off day. - nickeled and dime-d everything. - originally said we could use the house prior to us renting. week before wedding said it would be another 2K to use her house. Here are some positives: - beautiful property - owner is nice - very flexible. you can do a lot with it. just be ready to pay for everything and anything you want to do. - has great lighting (we installed those for her)

My husband and I got married at Whitney's estate in August of last year. Our wedding turned out SO beautiful, the venue looked picture perfect and the wedding photos turned out amazing. On top of that Whitney and Adriana were SO great. Whitney really made sure that everything was running smoothly at all times and even helped iron out a few hiccups that inevitably occurred on the way. They really went the extra mile to make sure our day turned out picture perfect. Thank you so much ladies for all you have done, our wedding turned out better than I could have ever imagined! I would recommend them to anyone looking for a beautiful outdoor venue to have their wedding at.

Whitney and Adriana did an outstanding job on our wedding in August. We had somewhat of a challenging situation because the first wedding planner we worked with was unable to keep the project moving professionally or close loops with vendors and contacts properly. Midway through the project, we finally cut the other person loose. Whitney and Adriana to the rescue. They assessed the situation and helped us assemble the pieces we didn't already have in place, like the officiant, flowers, limo, makeup, etc. The vendors they recommended were excellent and very competitively priced. I was especially happy with the flowers. That was an aspect of the wedding that I didn't care as much about--I knew I wanted the necessary bouquets and arrangements, etc., but I didn't want anything extravagant, and I didn't want to spend a lot of money and time on it. W and A showed my pinterest board to their recommended florist, who came up with a beautiful, economic package that hit all of my requirements, including a flower wand for the flower girl. I met with the florist exactly once, and was thrilled with the concept arrangement he had put together. On the day of, we had exactly the bouquets, corsages, boutonnieres, and arrangements we needed, that worked beautifully with the other elements, at a price I was extremely happy with. Score! Likewise, their day-of coordination was excellent. I know there were snafus (there always are, esp. with a tight timeline like ours) but they made everything happen as it should, even when that required some improvisation. I especially remember being worried about our first dance because my tulle skirt kept catching my heels. Adriana whipped out a needle and thread and in 5 minutes, she and my bridesmaids had repaired the dress and we had a beautiful first dance. These guys are rockstars!

I could not have asked for a better team than the A'Reve Event team! They were with me from start to finish and handled every detail which completely relieved me of any stress. Anyone looking for a Wedding Planner, look no further.

Whitney and her team did a amazing job last September for my wedding. It was elegant and everything I wanted and dreamed about!! She was so gracious helping me and ensuring my dream came to life. She also kept me calm and took a lot of the pressure off me. I am so grateful I met her and she was able to be apart of my wonderful, magical day! You are crazy if you do not allow this talented, kind hearted, truly elegant person help you with what is one of the most special and important day of your life!

Whitney and her team did a great job helping my wife and I plan and execute our wedding. Being the groom, I felt Whitney asked my opinion when really needed, but handled all the little details with my wife, knowing that wasn't my forte. I really appreciated that because I felt involved, but not pressured to look at 50 different centerpiece options. She was well organized and I'd highly recommend her for any upcoming events.

We got married at Tassajara Estate, a venue that A'Reve coordinates. The venue is beautiful! The perfect space to have any style of wedding. Ours was rustic, winery, elegance and it came together perfectly! We appreciate Whitney and Adriana's day of coordination. The rentals and linens were just what we asked for and envisioned for the space. All of our family and friends loved the venue, the food, and had a wonderful time at our wedding!

We are still getting compliments on our August 29th, 2015 wedding! We hired Whitney and Adriana last year to help us with our special day. It was at a private residence so we were in need of quite a bit of assistance and we are so happy with all of the help, recommendations, and day of coordination! As we know weddings can be extremely stressful, but they made the planning process and the day of so easy for us. Whitney and Adriana helped us find almost all of the vendors and we couldn’t have received more compliments. We loved the DJ, officiant service, rentals, florist, and caterer! Everybody they sourced was amazing. They brought everything together on the day of and it was more than we could have imagined!

We had our 3 day Wedding at the Tassajara estate 7/17 this year. Our guest were blown away about how beautiful the venue was, we are still being complemented by it. Such a magical place that would make any type of event breathtaking. Whitney and her team are beautiful people that made having our reception a breeze. Always pleasant to deal with! They are very accomodating , they catered to our needs and very helpful to ensure your events was memorable. I would highly recommend Whitney and her team to anyone and hope to have future events at their beautiful estate.

We recently hired A'reve Event Planning for a 3 day corporate event. A'reve was courtesy, caring, and professional in all aspects of the planning and organizing process. The event ran smooth and the venue looked beautiful. We would definitely recommend their services to any company. Thank you! The RPG Team

We are still coming down from the wedding bliss we all have from my daughter's wedding. Friday September 11th, 2015!! What a dream come true. I have 4 children. Only one wanted to have a fairy tale-dream like wedding. Well Whitney and Adriana (the A'Reve Events "dream team") made it happen big time! I am still getting compliments about the wedding. I have been told many many times now, "that it was the best wedding, they have ever been to". Thank you. We will love you both always.

Great job on the symposium, Whitney. Very organized. Very classy.

Weddings are absolutely the most stressful thing. I really wanted to enjoy the day, so at the suggestion of a friend we hired Whitney and Adriana. It was by far the best decision we could have made. The day was beyond my wildest dreams! The ladies took care of every single detail, and a few I didn't even think of. I also really appreciated that they thought outside of the box. If I came to them with an idea, they had a few more that were even better!! Thank you Whitney and Adriana for making my wedding a beautiful and stress free day!

Whitney and Adriana helped me to plan my husband's surprise 50th birthday party. They both are easy to talk to,and actually read my mind! They knew exactly what I wanted,and the event was so much better than I imagined! People are still talking about the amazing job they both did. The day of the event, I enjoyed every minute of it. They took care of every detail, I didn't have to worry about a thing. I cannot even think of anything that I would change about the party. It couldn't have been any better. Whitney and Adriana are simply the best!

Whitney was beyond amazing when she helped me plan & execute my wedding. From planning until the day of the wedding, everything was perfect. She has a great eye for detail and made sure everything went off without a hitch. The venue was immaculate and she made sure the flowers would be in bloom and everything! If you're looking for an amazing professional, look no further.

A'Reve Event Planning absolutely made my wedding dreams come true. From the beginning of the planning process, Whitney, Adriana, and the team took my wedding vision and created a wedding that far exceeded my expectations. Through months of planning, the team was responsive, creative, very helpful, and most importantly made me feel as though my wedding was the most important event they were planning. I will use A'Reve for all my future events, will use them for corporate events through my employer, and would recommend them to anyone looking for THE BEST planner ever! Thank you A'Reve!

I got married at Tassajara (Whitney's venue) on May 11th of this year. First, the venue is beautiful! Whitney made sure the grounds were perfectly kept, and went above and beyond to make sure I had roses at the ceremony site. As a DIYer, Whitney was the BEST to bounce ideas off of, letting me know right away what would work at Tassajara, and what wouldn't. She worked with us to give us exactly what we wanted, a great eye for design and detail. Throughout the day, Whitney made sure everything ran smoothly and on time. During cocktail hour, the bar had to be moved. Sounds stressful, but Whitney handled it with ease, and let me take photos without stressing me out. MAJOR PLUS! I don't plan on getting married again, but if I did I would use Whitney in a heart beat.
