Callista was an absolute dream to work with! She made our entire planning process so easy, and was so supportive and calming throughout the entire thing. Her attention to detail an...
d thoughtfulness was felt every step of the way, and her ability to navigate different opinions and personalities throughout the process was truly remarkable. Callista was always ten steps ahead, thinking through every scenario and ensuring everything was perfect for the day of the wedding. Our wedding was the most incredible day ever and would not have been possible without Callista and her incredible team! I wish we could do the whole thing again!!
This review is long overdue. Callista is AMAZING - do not hesitate to hire her for your event. She planned our July 2023 wedding in Los Angeles and did an incredible job. My husban...
d and I are both busy professionals and did not have the time or ability to plan a wedding. We hired her in February 2022 after interviewing several other wedding planners and immediately knew she was the right person for the job. She has such a calming presence and is so organized and well connected. She walked us through the process and gave us clear instructions on what we would need to do, at the appropriate times. Her recommendations on vendors were spot on and everything came together seamlessly. She kept us within our budget and gave us guidance on where we could splurge and where we should save. I do not have any critiques. Everyone told us to expect something to go 'wrong' on wedding day, but I cannot think of one thing that was out of place or did not go the way it was intended. She made things as easy as they possibly could be and was a great communicator. Planning a wedding can be stressful, but with Callista it was a dream!!
Callista and her team deliver an excellent event and are just lovely people to work with . From pre-wedding planning to day-of logistics, everything went perfectly (at least our ey...
es as the couple). The day of my wedding I didn't worry about one thing, thanks to her team, and it was all so perfect. All of the vendors we used with said she was the most organized planner they've ever worked with. Couldn't recommend Callista & Co more!
Callista & Company created the most spectacular wedding day we could have ever imagined. They handled every single detail that day and made sure to oversee each vendor so that we w...
ere able to totally enjoy ourselves. I cannot imagine a more capable team for a dream wedding!
Thank you Callista & Company!

Callista will expertly plan your wedding and bring it to life with grace, precision, and (most importantly) a much-needed sense of calm. We were first drawn to Callista for her gor...
geous portfolio and her clearly impeccable taste and design sensibility. We ultimately hired her because we admired her thoughtfulness, candor, and professionalism when we spoke. And wow, did we need all these traits once COVID hit and turned the world upside down. Callista patiently advised us as we all rode the roller coaster of the early days of the pandemic together, supported us when we decided to put the big wedding on hold, and then stuck with us as we cycled through a million new plans for a small ceremony so we could wed this year. We ultimately settled on a small ceremony and outdoor dinner with just our immediate family...and Callista delivered the wedding of our dreams, going above and beyond to create an event even more beautiful than our original large wedding. We were very nervous about COVID, and Callista helped us to creatively devise a super safe, distanced event that still felt warm, intimate, and beautiful. Although it was in actuality our 100000th backup plan, at the event, one of our family members said, "This would be anyone's dream wedding—COVID or no COVID," and that's exactly how we felt. It was more beautiful and special than we ever could have dreamed of, and none of it would have been possible without Callista and her team. Last minute changes, difficult vendors, ever-evolving local regulations...Callista can handle it all, unperturbed. Planning a wedding today is a crazier experience than ever, and you want Callista in your corner handling it all!
Callista was our favorite wedding decision that we made.
After speaking to Callista and receiving an extremely detailed planning book of everything she does, I realized quickly ho...
w much I underestimated the planning process.
From start to finish she was 10 steps ahead. I had so much fun working with her and watching her execute so naturally. She’s truly mastered her craft.
Having event planning background, I honestly considered planning our wedding by myself. My husband though, was worried that I would be too stressful so he suggested to hire a weddi...
ng planner. Now we look back, that was the best decision we made in our planning.
We knew about Callista & Co from a friend who did wedding planning for a while. The first meeting with Callista went really well, where she explained how wedding planning looks like and gave us a high level overview for the budgets. We were pretty certain that she would be our wedding planner after the first meeting :)
The planning process was very smooth. We first secured the venue about 10 months prior to the wedding, then photographer and floral design, and then all the detailed design (e.g., invitation). Sometimes I had this panic of "are we behind schedule?" and Callista always calmed me down. It happened that my husband Bryan and I were slammed by work one month before the wedding, but Callista took care almost everything for us. We're not exaggerating when we said our wedding wouldn't have been possible without Callista and her team!
I will give her 6 stars out of 5 if I was able to do so :)
Smart planner with great design sense
Callista was an incredible planner and resource. We worked together for close to a year and she was very responsive, thoughtful and profession...
al throughout the process. She’s a polished expert who will give you an incredible timeline and has a handle on all the details - no matter how small.
I was planning my wedding from San Francisco while our venue was in Los Angeles, but with her help everything went smoothly. She polished my design and decor ideas, keeping true to the elements I loved while elevating my vision and staying in budget. She was incredible at navigating sticky or emotionally charged situations when they arose and always acted with grace when speaking on our behalf.
Her guidance on vendors was spot on and helped me save time and frustration.
Extremely happy with our photos and memories of the day, which can be viewed here: https://www.stylemepretty.com/2019/12/27/a-whimsical-tea-party-inspired-wedding-at-none-other-than-the-peninsula/.
Callista was the first person we contacted when we got engaged and she was the BEST person/"vendor" we hired for our wedding! Although she hadn't planned a wedding at our venue bef...
ore, we knew she would do an incredible job, and SHE DID! We spent 17 months engaged/planning. I had a pretty strong idea of what I wanted for our wedding and she made it all possible! She is a GREAT listener, answered every single question I had during wedding planning, had the best advice and insight, and made sure everything I dreamed of came true wedding day. She is always calm and collected, organized, and always has a back-up plan ready. Everything came together perfectly and I didn't have to worry about a single thing day-of. She is an incredibly hard worker and will stop at nothing to make sure your day is perfect! Callista is truly the best and I cannot recommend her enough!
Callista was a dream wedding planner! She has all of the qualities you’d want in your planner - organized, punctual, responsive, thorough. Having callista as our wedding planner to...
ok so much stress off shoulders because we knew we could trust her with our big day. She offers her style POV when asked but also makes sure that her client’s vision comes to fruition. Cannot say enough good things about how on top of it she is and everyone noticed that the day ran so smoothly with no hiccups. Highly recommend her to any newly engaged couple. Best decision we made during our planning process!
Callista was knowledgeable, calm, organized, and BEYOND necessary to planning my wedding. I consider myself a very organized person she was 10times as organized as I was, and thank...
goodnes she was! She made out planning process so much easier and fun! She even designed our invitations for us and they are STUNNING! she was so easy to plan with and so nice! She was so calm the day of and adjusted as needed and random things came up. She never pressured me to make decisions regarding other vendors or design elements and always support the ones I made. I cannot recommend her highly enough. She will make planning so much easier and the day about getting married and not worry about anything else!
Callista was the best thing that ever happened to us. I was a very naive and indecisive bride who had very little idea what I wanted in regards to my wedding nor how to approach i...
t, especially in terms of details. Callista went above and beyond to make the planning process approachable and organized. Not to mention she was a constant source of support and encouragement, which was definitely necessary at times. One of the aspects I am most grateful for was her focus on my fiance (now husband!) and me, on what we wanted, what we felt was appropriate, what fit our personalities, rather than our families, social norms or expectations. It not only made us feel comfortable, but helped remind us repeatedly that this day was really about us. She was a constant ally and advocate.
I especially recommend her if you are planning on using our venue, the Farimont Miramar. While absolutely gorgeous and puts on a great party, the venue staff can at times be unresponsive and challenging to work with during the planning process. Callista, with her previous experience at the Fairmont, was such an asset for these aspects. She knows the property and staff so well and was able to help facilitate all the logistical and planning details, which took a large burden off of us in dealing with these stressors.
I cannot begin to express how grateful we are for Callista.
We hired Callista to plan and coordinate our wedding, and were extremely happy with our decision! Callista went above and beyond our expectations. To begin with, she guided us thro...
ugh the entire wedding planning process, focusing on every detail without making the process stressful. She was very easy to work with, and instantly understood our needs and preferences. On our wedding day, she was perfectly poised and calm, which helped us relax and get the most out of the day. Callista will work tirelessly to make sure you have the best possible wedding or event; you should hire her immediately!

ngs getting done as she followed through effortlessly with all vendors and wedding details. Most importantly she has a calming presence that puts a bride and groom at ease throughout the hectic wedding planning process. Our wedding day ran smoothly with all details executed just as we had discussed. We couldn't be happier that we were lucky enough to have Callista as our wedding coordinator.
Callista is incredible. Period. Hire her. It will be the best decision you make. It certainly was ours.
My (now) wife and I spent over a year planning our wedding weekend and ...
Callista was there for us every step of the way. She is unbelievably responsive, overly generous with her time, extremely attentive to detail (just wait until you see her day-of timeline), incredibly well connected, tremendously knowledgeable and endlessly patient and supportive. Without a doubt, we can say that thanks to Callista our wedding day was perfect and we are so grateful to her.
Callista provided so much more value than I ever thought possible and we couldn’t have planned our wedding without her. We will ALWAYS refer her to our friends, families, and loved ones in need of her wedding planning services and, personally, we can’t wait to work with her again for planning other events in our future! Thank you, yet again, Callista!!
