Creative Affairs Inc.

Amazing!!! I can’t say enough positives about this company and our coordinator, Sonya. She helped us plan a perfect wedding at the hotel Del. All her vendor recs were amazing. She was organized, sharp, smart, caring and had great taste. Everyone should hire creative affairs and Sonya!

The best decision we made for our wedding was hiring a planner through Creative Affairs. We initially met with Amanda, and we knew almost instantly we wanted to hire her company for full service wedding planning. Caitlyn was our planner, and she literally helped give us the wedding of our dreams. Neither my husband or myself had super visions for what we wanted our wedding to be, and trusted Caitlyn wholeheartedly…and boy, did she not disappoint. She connected us with all of our vendors, all of whom were truly perfect, and was there day of to make sure each detail was executed with perfection. With our busy jobs, planning a wedding was truly not something I had the time or energy to do, and I am truly so grateful we had Caitlyn to keep our wedding organized and on track. Could not recommend this company more!

We utilized Creative Affairs for our wedding this past month and could not have been happier. Miranda was our planner and we cannot stop discussing how absolutely amazing she was! Our wedding was a literal dream and Miranda was perfection. Our wedding vision was fully brought to life and it was even better than we had envisioned. Everything from Miranda’s vendor recos, to communication, execution, attitude, absolutely everything was incredible and we cannot thank her enough!

We loved working with Creative Affairs. Amanda made us feel comfortable from the start and we knew it would be a good fit. Dana was our planner and she really helped make my vision come to life. Gave a ton of recommendations on vendors, decor, and all around how to plan a wedding! She made us feel so comfortable in the process leading up to the big day. Going back and forth with the vendors, making sure contracts and invoices were set, building diagrams...everything! She was so accommodating on all of my last-minute changes and relaying everything to the vendors. On our wedding day Dana was on top of it all and kept us at ease during our wedding making sure we were taken care of and anything we asked of her. Everyone said it was the best wedding they had ever been to!!

we were referred to creative affairs by a friend AND could not have been more pleased with the process and the results! We will forever remember this evening! Thank you CA!

Creative Affairs is an expert in the wedding and event industry in San Diego. I spoke directly with Amanda regarding the several properties they work with, and she quickly got right to the heart and spirit of each venue, making it easy to parse out what would fit best. In the end, we needed to go a different direction, and Amanda was extremely kind and helpful. She told me about venues we'd never heard of, and fit our budget. Thanks to Amanda, we found my sister's DREAM wedding location. I highly recommend Creative Affairs.

We used Creative Affairs for our wedding coordination in April. We had previously hired a different company that wasn't a good fit and then met with Amanda and loved her and her team. We booked with Amanda and Caitlyn was our coordinator for the months leading up to it. Talk about a night and day experience of working with Creative Affairs vs. the previous vendor. Both Amanda and Caitlyn were organized, took notes, listened to our wants and concerns and guided us with great recommendations through the process. 2 other women showed up to help the day of our wedding and every one was equally as nice and on top of it. I am very particular and an interior designer by trade so attention to detail was important and each of the women on Amanda's team exceeded our expectations. I was able to enjoy the evening and not sweat the details. When we walked in to the reception tent reveal, everything was perfectly executed. Caitlyn was extremely professional and proactive when it came to getting all the other vendors for our wedding on the same page, and there were several! We cannot express what a positive experience this was. They deserve 10 stars.

Miranda and the whole Creative Affairs team were so wonderful in helping coordinate our wedding. Leading up to the big day Miranda was always available for a call and super responsive to texts. She recommended many of the wonderful vendors we ended up hiring as well! She even helped us find décor rentals and went above and beyond to pick them up for us before the wedding and drop them off after the wedding since we don't live in the area. The day of the wedding felt so effortless and my now husband Shawn and I really got to focus on being present and enjoy our big day! Our guests even commented on how lovely Miranda and her team were. Hiring Creative Affairs was honestly the best decision we made for our wedding and we cannot recommend Miranda and the Creative Affairs team enough!

Amanda and her team were amazing to work with and immediately calmed us knowing we were in good hands. We loved having Caitlyn as our coordinator as she brought up items that we never would have thought about needing to plan for. She helped set up meetings with us and our vendors to go over details for the big day and was such a nice and caring person! On the actual day she was a rockstar and took care of any problems that came up.

I am so grateful for Amanda and her hard working team at Creative Affairs. Collectively they went above and beyond to ensure that everything for our wedding was seamless and perfect down to the smallest of details. My wife and I can't recommend them enough and I will be spreading the word about their business to our friends in the area that will be getting married in the near future! Best, Mark Anton

Amanda McPhail and her team at Creative Affairs ensured every detail of our wedding day was flawless. We can't recommend them highly enough. Every time we turned around they were there to assist. In addition to their professionalism, creativity, and incredible responsiveness they were fun and so kind. It's a pleasure to write this review on their behalf. Much love ~ Shea Anton O'Reilly

Amanda and her team at Creative Affairs are the most responsive, kind, customer service oriented, professional wedding planners in San Diego. The care, attention to detail and responsiveness is unparalleled. We recommend them highly. These are people you would want to invite as guests if they weren't already part of your team. We truly cannot say enough. Gratefully, The O'Reillys

Miranda Snow is an absolute angel, wizard, genius, best friend, problem-solver, and magician (I can go on), who we were blessed to work with during our wedding planning. I would not say I was a high-maintenance bride, but I certainly wasn't low-maintenance LOL. Miranda took all my calls, texts, and even a few DMs. She never made me feel like a client. I truly felt like I was working with my longtime girlfriend to plan my perfect wedding. Once we got to know each other, I realized I didn't have to pretend to be "a chill bride" and could just be myself because Miranda was so accepting and encouraging. During our wedding, Miranda was a godsend. My mom was panicking about some of the furniture rentals, she called Miranda, and Miranda handled it - all completely unbeknownst to me. She organized our fairly large bridal party, even helping one of my bridesmaids with her dress. She helped me put on my veil and take on and off different shoes. When I was worried about my dress wrinkling, she offered to do "steam breaks" during the reception (as I said, I wasn't exactly low maintenance). She managed all of our various vendors and kept everyone organized, and she was FUN and happy the whole time. Creative Affairs is so lucky to have this absolute gem. And I'm a little jealous of her future couples because she is simply the best. :)

Choosing to move forward with Creative Affairs for our wedding was the best decision we could have made for our wedding. We were paired with Sonya and she was an absolute DREAM. When you think of the perfect wedding planner, it's Sonya. She checks off all the boxes -- professional, organized, communicative, always two steps ahead, full of ideas, and most importantly, calm. Her calm presence is contagious in the best way possible. She's someone you want to keep close throughout this entire process and day of. From day one, to the end of the party, everything was seamless and effortless with Creative Affairs. I'm so grateful for working with the amazing Sonya. Highly recommend!!

We are so glad we found Creative Affairs when looking for a wedding coordinator. We wanted to have a small destination wedding in San Diego and we knew we needed to hire someone local who could do all the things that we couldn’t. Our coordinator was Stefanie and she is AMAZING! After our initial phone call I knew I wanted to work with her. I can honestly say that wedding planning was not a stressful experience. Stef handled everything!! Her kindness and professionalism were something many of our guests complimented. I can confidently say that our special day would not have been as perfect as it was without her! Highly recommend hiring Creative Affairs! Amanda has created such a great company that provides their clients with nothing less than a 5 star experience!

I am so grateful that we chose Creative Affairs as our wedding coodinator. We first met Amanda while touring several potential wedding venues. Even though we did not choose the wedding venue that Amanda was showcasing, she was very helpful and informative. When it came time to search for a wedding coodinator, Creative Affairs was on top of our list based on our prior encounter with Amanda. I can not thank you enough for assigning Stefanie Muse as our wedding coodinator. We selected the day of wedding services, but Stefanie went above and beyond her contracted obligations. She was always a phone call away and immediately responded to any questions or concerns. She took it upon herself to initiate services, professional advice and personal opinions to create the perfect wedding. She was with us every step of the way leading up to the wedding. She made several phone calls to vendors and the venue that were not a part of her obligations. Her calm demeanor, attention to detail, and confidence helped us negotiate various wedding requests. The day of the wedding, Stefanie helped calm our nerves and inspired confidence that the wedding would happen without a hitch. She identified a problem with the electrical source prior to our reception and took it upon herself to get the needed equipment for the show to go on as planned without adding extra stress to Andrea and I. During the wedding process and reception, we continually received praise on Stefanie's professionalism and hard work ethic. We had several people inquire about getting her company information so they could use her for their events. Again, I cannot thank you enough for bringing Stefanie into our lives. She is a huge asset to your company. Sincerely, Brian and Andrea Thayer

We met Amanda from Creative Affairs when looking for a Wedding Venue. We knew immediately that we wanted to work with her and her team not only to secure a venue but to be our Wedding Coordinator. Amanda quickly assigned Caitlyn and we were able to throw a perfect wedding. Their recommendations from caterer to florists to whatever you might dream up are so helpful. Both women are very passionate about the business and their energy and dedication is infectious. Did I mention they know the San Diego area and other businesses that will complement the coordination extremely well? You don’t have to be an expert to throw a perfect wedding or party you just need to hire Amanda and Caitlyn from Creative Affairs.

We used creative affairs for our wedding at the ultimate skybox. Amanda and her team did an amazing job making our special day an unforgettable stress free experience. The attention to detail and quality of the overall production was excellent.

Hiring them was the best decision we made! By far. Beyond impressed. Let's start with what our friends said the day after our wedding: "What an amazing night!! Every single detail was perfection! I danced so long that my legs hurt!!" "that was an amazing evening from start to finish, everything was perfectly executed." "Truly, one of the best weddings I've been to." "such an amazing night last night!! amazing people, perfect setting and best band ever!!" "I haven’t seen so many people having so much fun in quite a while.” "Best party I've been to in ages!" Stephanie and her team were completely on top of EVERY thing. And who knew there were so many details to consider and decisons to be made? During the planning process they were extremely efficient - managing all of the vendors, providing recommendations when we couldn’t decide, being proactive with upcoming deadlines, etc. Every communication was responded to super quickly. On the day of the wedding, they were ON TOP OF IT. And with all of the hubbub, they remained completely calm and made sure you knew that everything was under control. And it was. If anything did go wrong, we were not aware because they took care of it. If nothing went wrong, it was 100% due to their planning, knowledge and expertise. This is likely the first time you are getting married but they have done this hundreds, if not thousands, of times. And it was very evident because they planned for every detail (details you would never consider) and made all of the right decisions. Do yourself a favor and trust them with your big day – you will be SO GLAD YOU DID! (other vendors we loved! Crown Point Catering, BE Studios (photography), Crown Town Music (All music), Kombi Keg (beer and premade cocktails on tap)

I learned of Amanda and Creative Affairs from a close friend and I am so glad I reached out! From the beginning I have experienced nothing but the best from the team of ladies I worked with. After my initial call with Amanda, I decided to go with the "Month of Coordinator" package, was then assigned a coordinator and she did NOT disappoint! Saying Amber did an outstanding job from the beginning would be an understatement. She is so organized and on top of things, answered all 5,000,000 questions I had quickly and also was so kind. She saved my sanity 2 weeks prior to my wedding due to a slight fiasco and handled everything in such a professional manner. The day of the wedding Amber had a team of two other ladies, Rachael and Amanda G. Again, these ladies did not disappoint. They all did everything they could to ensure this day was a dream and they absolutely delivered. As mentioned above, I selected the "Month of Coordinator" package and Amber made it seem as if she had been there from Day 1 of planning with me that's how on top of things she was. If you haven't booked anyone to help with full on planning or month of coordinating, look no further and go with Creative Affairs!

We can't say enough good things about Jessica. She is everything you would want in a wedding planner and more! She made sure our day was exactly what we wanted and went smoothly. So many details and so many things to think about - Jessica and her assistants nailed it! I remained calm and happy throughout the day because I trusted them. They were able create a flow to the day and were always three steps ahead. We feel very lucky to have been in such good hands. It was the best day ever!

We worked with Caitlyn from Creative Affairs to plan our wedding at the Ultimate Skybox and she was beyond fantastic! She was organized, prompt, and helpful with every detail. On the day of our wedding, she was calm and helped to keep us on our timeline, without stressing us out. We cannot thank her enough for all she did to help our day run smoothly, and I would recommend Creative Affairs without hesitation!

My husband and I hired Creative Affairs to help us with our wedding planning! We worked directly with Jessica who was beyond incredible! She helped us navigate our vendors leading up to the day and all of our day-of scheduling. She was super attentive to our needs and wants for our big day and helped us to see them through! The day of proved to be a bit unexpected weather-wise, but she really made sure everything went smoothly despite the windy weather! She made sure everything was under control and on schedule and allowed my husband and I to have a stress-free day! I wish we could do it all over again just to be able to work with Jessica again!

My husband and I worked with a few people from Creative Affairs and each person was equally as great! From the initial call where we discussed ideas to executing the day of. They were quick to respond to every email answering any question we had. They made sure that all of the vendors knew when and where to be. That took away a lot of stress! Can't recommend them enough!

We very much appreciate Creative Affairs' hard work. THe team has excellent communications, attention to details, commitment to make things happen. It made us and our guests feel our wish and vision were cherished by everyone and every bystanders involved, not just part of their job. This makes their service standing out as premier.

I literally have no words to express my gratitude to Stefanie! She has been with us every step of the way planning a beautiful wedding for our daughter despite the challenges of COVID. This past weekend was absolutely MAGICAL and PERFECT in every way. Stefanie got us in touch with just as impressive vendors who brought the added charm, music, and decor to make our daughter's wedding everything we wanted it to be and so much more. She kept us organized and stayed in touch with the vendors we hired to make sure they had everything they needed and also with the event coordinator at the location site. She was quick to step in if I needed anything and would either take care of the problem or point me in the right direction. She was the glue that kept it all together. I saw her in action on the day off the event and was blown away. I was able to focus on my daughter and enjoy the day while Stefanie took care of everything else. What amazed me most was her calm demeanor, patience, and she always had a smile on her face. If I had to do it all over again, I would not change a thing. I would start with Stefanie! She deserves recognition for what she does. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your constant support, attention to detail, and for going out of your way in making this event so perfect! I am forever grateful!. Thank you Creative Affairs!!

I loved my wedding planner Caitlyn F. She was with me from the day I booked her services through Creative Affairs. She was very organized and helped to stay on top of tasks; she also was readily accessible, I felt I could contact her whenever I needed. On the wedding day it felt like everything was executed perfectly and on-time; even if there were issues that came up, I never was aware of them because Caitlyn and her staff worked their magic.

I can not say enough about the skybox and Blake. Our day was truly magical and If anything went wrong we had no clue lol Blake took care of everything and we cant thank her enough. Our day was absolute perfection!

We worked with Jessica B and she was fantastic in every way, especially since this was a destination wedding. She was very helpful in the months leading up the wedding but was particularly helpful the weekend of the wedding. She took care of every detail and the day was beautiful in large part to her behind the scenes help. We would highly recommend Creative Affairs and especially Jessica B!

Jessica B was our wedding planner and she was great to work with. Had great suggestions and recommendations leading up to the event. Where she truly shone was running the show during our wedding weekend. Everything went off so smoothly and in large part that was due to Jessica and her team. Thank you for making our day so special!

Amanda and Amber are the best. They did an amazing job coordinating our wedding. I would recommend them to anyone. Thanks for doing such a great job.

Very punctual and helpful! They made the process so smooth and easy

Creative Affairs was amazing! Jessica was so easy and pleasant to work with, and expertly and gracefully navigated our COVID postponement and other inevitable last-minute switches, confusions, and requests. Can't recommend them enough!

Creative Affairs was fantastic. The entire team, Stephanie, Amanda & Amber were extremely professional. I highly recommend them.

Planning a wedding can be hard. Planning a wedding during a pandemic when venues keep switching their COVID requirements and procedures is even harder. It is hard to put into words just how happy we were with our experience with Creative Affairs. With three months until our wedding, we found ourselves without a reception venue. Our planner Jessica and the team at Creative Affairs was able to help us scramble and find an amazing venue for our reception at the last minute, doing the heavy lifting with all of our vendors to coordinate the change in plans. The event went seamlessly & without stress, hugely important for a special day.. Everything came together & our vision was beautifully displayed. We received so many compliments on how classy and well run the event was and 100% of the credit goes to the creative affairs team. Not sure the next time we'll have an event of this size but if and when we do, we'll know who to reach out to. Highly recommend.

Stefanie and the entire staff at Creative Affairs are beyond exceptional! From the initial phone call to the final wedding day, I knew I was in good hands. There was never any worry or doubt in my mind that any detail would be forgotten or missed...Stefanie thinks of everything! Sometimes it was like she was reading my mind haha. She was just so in tune with exactly what I wanted and what my preferences/taste were. I could not imagine a better wedding planner and I feel so thankful and lucky that we had her as our wedding planner for our perfect day at the Hotel del Coronado. No need to look any further, Creative Affairs will make your day more incredible than you could ever imagine!!

I cannot say enough good things about Stefanie, Amanda and the rest of the team at Creative Affairs. Planning a wedding can be stressful, takes a ton of time and can feel isolating because while friends and family all may have gone through the planning process, it doesn't always mean they fully understand. I am beyond thankful I had the Creative Affairs team to help me through! They were support arm we never knew we needed. They answered every question we came up with, came up with reasonable and actionable solutions when problems would arise and most importantly, really made us feel heard and understood. Caitlyn, our day of coordinator, was always extremely professional but at the same time every conversation we had was like talking to an old friend. Thank you Stefanie, Amanda and Caitlyn for making our day, simply the best!

Creative Affairs has the absolute best team when it comes to event planning! We would highly recommend booking Creative Affairs for your next event. Planning a wedding through a pandemic (with one postponement) was stressful, but Creative Affairs (Amanda and Miranda) walked me through the process with ease. I can’t thank the Creative Affairs team enough for our perfect wedding day; they helped to make mg vision a reality.

Creative Affairs was absolutely amazing. They made planning a wedding (during COVID) so easy!! The wedding was absolutely flawless and I couldn't have asked for anything more perfect. Amanda and Stefanie were both so helpful and constantly there for us to help of. I would recommend them to everyone I know!!

Creative Affairs was absolutely amazing!! I would highly recommend them. Planning a wedding can be very overwhelming, then throwing COVID on top of it, it was stressful but Amanda and Julia were absolutely phenomenal! They were so professional and were there to help very second of the way. I am so grateful that Julia was there the day of because she truly went up and beyond for us. I cannot say enough good things about this team!

I don't know what I would of done without the help and direction from Creative Affairs. Due to Covid it made us have to change dates 3 times. It was very challenging. On top of everything the bride lives in Texas ! Luckily we had Christa and Amanda to calm the already frazzled nerves of the bride and mother of the bride. Everything fell into place and we ALL got through it:) Thanks again Creative Affairs!!

The team at Creative Affairs is simply the best! You can put your mind at ease because they think of everything down to the most minute detail! Jessica was outstanding and helped us plan and execute my daughter's dream wedding day, and Bethany took care of all the day-of details without missing a beat! I highly recommend Creative Affairs!

Creative Affairs Inc has been amazing throughout our planning experience. Amanda and her team have been great to work with since our first walk through at our venue, and have gracefully helped us maneuver through all of the stress and changes due to Covid. We would work with them again in a heartbeat!

Creative Affairs is worth every penny. My husband and I had our dream wedding all planned for March of this year. Julia was our wedding coordinator and helped us organize our vendors, planned out our “day of” timeline to a ‘t’, and made sure we had everything in-check. Amanda was also in close contact with us all throughout our planning process. Amanda is so down to earth and extremely personable that I ended up reaching out to her for advice on rehearsal dinner suggestions, florists and sound systems experts for our ceremony. I honestly felt like I had two wedding coordinators throughout our entire wedding planning process. The level of detail, work ethic, professionalism, perfectionism and organization was exactly what I was looking for. I knew that I was not going to have to worry about a thing on my wedding day and was far from stressed or anxious—Creative Affairs had it all covered. Unfortunately due to COVID-19 and California’s stay at home order, my husband and I had to postpone our wedding just days leading up to it. We were devastated but Amanda and Julia were extremely supportive and helped us come up with a Plan B. With high hopes, we postponed until the end of May and then again to the end of October but recently decided to cancel our wedding due to the ongoing pandemic. I was really looking forward to my wedding day and seeing how everything was going to come together with Creative Affairs by my side. Based on my ongoing contact with them, I knew it was going to be just perfect as a result of their great work. They are by far superior event planners and I would recommend them in a heartbeat.

Creative Affairs is the best!!! Best team to work with and did an amazing job at my sister's wedding!!!
