My wife and I were looking for wedding coordinators for our reception soon after we booked our venue. What initially drew us to Castle Ever After Events was their strong Bay Area n...etwork and being bilingual. We worked with Tania and Jessica for over a year, during which time they helped us project our needs well in advance. Tania patiently answered our many questions, filling in large knowledge gaps around Save the Dates, invitations, and day-of logistics.
In the final weeks leading up to our event, Tania found a hair stylist last minute for my overwhelmed wife. She was also a central hub for all our vendors, coordinating behind the scenes so we could focus on meeting family and getting ourselves ready. Tania communicated with us frequently over email, text, and video calls, and we always felt like our voices were heard. Her attentiveness and attention to detail made us feel like we were having our wedding, not just a wedding.
One hopes that everything will go off without a hitch the weeks leading up to the wedding. We know through experience that some things are bound to go awry. We had a few stressful days prior to the reception, and Tania and Jessica kept us grounded and focused on the bigger picture. Especially the day of, they supported us through last-minute details such as a missing guestbook, misplaced centerpieces, and incorrect website information. The reception was spectacular: we danced, had fun, and had zero worries throughout the night. If something went wrong, we aren't aware of it.
It's easy to take for granted what a joy it was to work with Tania and Jessica, because they made it so effortless for us. Every meeting energized us and made us more excited about bringing the pieces together. Although we only hired Tania and Jessica for their coordination services, they were instrumental in our planning process. In retrospect, we should have hired them for planning, too, knowing what we know now.
