Creative Affairs Inc.

ence. She was very well organized and on top of absolutely everything. She made the stressful process of throwing a wedding drastically less stressful. They were very honest and straight forward about everything. Julia went above and beyond. I have nothing but positive things to say about the Creative Affairs team. They are wonderful and I would recommend them to anyone!

with Amanda, and being paired with Julia - everything was super easy. They helped the entire process of A-Z with wedding planning seamless and stress free. We had a moving style reception at the Skybox for 160 and our ceremony at the Omni Hotel (although having a ceremony at the Skybox would have been super beautiful as well). Julia and team were there to help us from one venue to the next. Our day was absolutley perfect, the moving style was perfect (our own wedding was the first time we did/seen this and wouldnt have it any other way). The guests loved the views of the city. The dance floor was hopping all night long and our night couldnt have been more fun! Thanks Julia and team for being the best wedding coordinators, planners, organizers, and venue a bride could want! (*Side note my friend had a wedding 10x more expensive in a 5 star hotel in another city and she said the service I received from Julias team was exceptional and over the top)

ular. So very talented in this role and not one single detail fell through the cracks. As the M.O.B. she allowed me to relax and enjoy every minute of this celebration. We had a party on Friday night with 190 as well as Saturday. A big job and they nailed it! Creative Affairs IS...the best ever!

s. It was truly a magical experience working with Stefanie.

s. Her insight allowed her to anticipate our needs and offer detailed guidance and carefully considered recommendations. Indeed, we quickly realized that whatever Stefanie recommended was going to be perfect for us and was the same thing we would have chosen after a LOT of extra work and research on our own -- so we were more than happy to follow her lead. When our big day arrived, we knew we were in the best of hands, and she masterfully orchestrated a smoothly run, beautifully crafted event that truly stunned us and absolutely wowed our guests. So very grateful for this experience.

prompt to any questions we had before they assigned us our wedding coordinator. Our wedding coordinator Katie Rehnberg was absolutely amazing! She fit in well with our personalities and kept everything running so smoothly. She truly helped us enjoy our day without having to worry about a thing. The venue is spectacular. We got so many compliments about the venue and the style of the wedding. Thank you for recommending lounge style wedding. It fit perfectly with us! Thanks again! It was truly a dream come true!

rom my very first phone call and throughout the entire process. We were blessed to have the amazing Jessica Neibauer assigned to my daughter's wedding and she was a gift - organized, great tips, ideas, vendor guidance, etc., so pleasant and calm - during all the planning and especially on the day of the wedding. I am a very organized person but the best decision we made about the wedding was hiring Creative Affairs and Jessica - it has been 3 weeks since the wedding and we are still getting phone calls from guests raving that it was the best wedding they have ever attended :) You will be SO happy if you select Creative Affairs to help with your event!

angel sent from above. She made the whole planning process so much easier - she promptly answered every email (and there were MANY), provided amazing suggestions and feedback, and went above and beyond for us. But most importantly, she made our wedding day the most incredible day of my life. Everything flowed so seamlessly and she made sure every detail was perfect. I cannot recommend Creative Affairs (and especially Jessica) enough!

aughters wedding was so beautiful and it was in part because of the millions of details that Creative Affairs handled on our behalf. Thank you again for helping us put on a flawless wedding for our daughter and son in law. Your company was the best of the best...…..and surpassed everything we could have hoped for!

rt to host another event at the Ultimate Skybox). They eliminate so many unknowns, have a GREAT list of vendors/suggestions, and are on top of everything. It's hard to trust people, especially when it comes to a milestone event in your life, but Stefanie just made everything so easy...and she was so trustworthy. We couldn't even imagine working with anyone else.

od recommendations vendors. She brought us hors d'oeuvres from our cocktail hour to make sure we had a chance to try them. She also made sure we stayed hydrated with water and got us some champagne throughout the event. She did a great job ensuring we were adhering to the timeline for our ceremony and reception. We strongly recommend Jessica from Creative Affairs if you want quality service and assistance planning your wedding. Wedding was Saturday, June 22, 2019. Some reason the post won't let me pick the Saturday so we picked the 21st.

comes to an event as important as your wedding, that peace of mind is priceless! My husband and I hired Jessica of Creative Affairs for a month of coordination package and were consistently impressed with how communicative, organized and enthusiastic she was. I particularly appreciated how much she listened to us. What I mean by that is when speaking to other prospective planners, they often talked “at” me - but Jessica cared about our vision and goals. She helped us plan and execute an amazing day that we will remember forever- a day that had so many moving parts and pieces. Jessica did a flawless job and we got countless compliments from friends and family about how helpful and “on top of it” she was. If anything went wrong, I couldn’t tell, thanks to her and her team. We would recommend Jessica and Creative Affairs without hesitation!

airs!!!!

ally on top of every detail regarding our event. Her exceptional service allowed us to focus solely on enjoying our wedding and having a great time with our guests because she handled every little detail and kept the event running smoothly from start to finish. It truly was a magical evening that we will never forget.

lanning with a local touch. Julie's professional manner, reliability, competence, thoroughness, attention to detail, expertise, business acumen and more importantly, her kind, thoughtful & likable personality were a blessing. We thoroughly enjoyed our daughter’s wedding - care-free. We were receiving all of the complements how beautiful and well run the day was, but knew exactly who the real "professional" was behind the scenes making it all happen, seamlessly. Julia truly is a ROCK STAR! The highest compliment I can give Julia is that she treated my daughter’s wedding as if it were her own. As a father I could not ask for more. I told my wife, should we get divorced, we will both use Julia again! :-)

she was responsive to phone calls and emails (even while on vacation). She helped us work with all our vendors, and she was a voice of reason when we had to deal with last minute changes. My wife and I strongly recommend Creative Affairs to anyone planning a wedding.

and was always patient with me and answered any questions or concerns I had. Leading up to our reception and the day of went flawlessly. We would highly recommend her for your next event!!

ys knew exactly what to ask during meetings. She was available whenever I may have needed her and was extremely responsive. She made my Mom and I feel calm and always knew what to say or do in a problematic situation. I never once worried on my wedding day about anything because of her. I would 100% recommend Creative Affairs to anyone! You will not be disappointed.

ed all the major and minor coordination and details, which made the day virtually stress-free for me and absolutely perfect. Highly recommend working with Creative Affairs.

day magical. Brides will tell you that on the day of the wedding you just let it go and don't worry. And that is exactly what I did. I didn't have to worry about this, worry about that, make sure this, make sure that. It was flawless and perfect. CA worked with me on my on my budget which was awesome! They provide a recommended vendor list (but not required, which is great!) that was super helpful and affordable. This isn't a wedding planning team that works outside your budget, they are budget friendly with an extreme amount of class and attention to detail. Julia was responsive, helpful and attentive without being pushy or making you feel like you don't know what you are doing. I got married at the Admiral Kidd, which is a military base and can be challenging for security reasons, but it went flawlessly. Julia took care of my vendors vetting forms which was a huge task. Seriously, on the night of my wedding, I did not beckon her to take care of anything, she did it all without a worry in the world. I felt like I wanted to hang out with Julia every time we met and I still do! Thank you for making my wedding day an unforgettable day!

le, highly organized, experienced, and attentive beyond measure. She was readily available to assist throughout the planning process, and when it came to our wedding day, everything went exactly how it was supposed to. Well, I'm sure there was something that didn't go according to plan but even so, no one would have ever known about it which is a true testament to Jessica's professionalism and grace! Our wedding was everything we could have ever dreamed of and more. We were able to sit back, relax, and enjoy every minute of our day, knowing that Jessica had it all under control. Since our wedding, we've had many guests tell us how much fun they had and specifically mention how impressed they were with all the event staff. Overall, we would rate our experience 5 stars, more if we could, and recommend anyone planning a wedding to work with Creative Affairs for their coordination.

received so many compliments on our wedding. I will miss her.

lanning a wedding so much easier. I had my ceremony offsite and they were also able add an additional coordinator to cover my ceremony. They gave me the top vendors for literally EVERYTHING (even dog sitting) which took a way a lot of stress and worries that I had. From beginning, to during, and even days after the event, they have been with me answering all my questions and keeping me calm and comfortable. I couldn't have done it without them and highly recommend their services!

g guests that showed up unexpectedly. All of our family loved Rachael too - she always went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect! She's truly a diamond in the rough - very detailed, organized, caring and you can tell she loves what she does! Her energy is contagious and if we ever have an event in the future, Creative Affairs will be the first we'd contact - and specifically request Rachael!

nk about, and Jessica was there to keep me on track. Our wedding was held at the Coronado Marriott Resort, and we had around 116 guests. I have received so many compliments about how organized and classy our wedding was. I would highly recommend Jessica and Creative Affairs for your wedding coordination needs. Definitely money well spent!!

Everything ran so smoothly and professionally with Stefanie we can never thank her and Creative Affairs.

floorplan I loved as well as accommodating a few adjustments I requested from the typical ceremony. I think my favorite part was how much our guests loved the venue - their eyes when we all first walked in for the rehearsal let me know that all our guests were going to love the event! The network of professionals that Creative Affairs recommended were all helpful and dependable as well. I feel so grateful to have had this experience at the Skybox!

enue was set up was exactly as I wanted it, and all the vendors were kept in the loop and managed without me having to worry about it. I would highly recommend Creative Affairs for any event and would definitely use them again.

nt. Three and a half months to be exact!! We booked our wedding at the Ultimate Skybox and knew that EVERYTHING was going to be wonderful despite what everyone else was telling us. We learned from our experience with Creative Affairs that you do NOT need 18 months to plan an amazing wedding. Our wedding coordinator, Rachael went above and beyond and ensured us that our day was going to be perfect and everything that we envisioned. She was not just your normal wedding coordinator. She did so much more than that and was always there for us throughout the entire planning process no matter what questions we had. She would always respond to our emails or text messages as soon as she could. We communicated with her so much that she felt more like a friend than a business-colleague. My husband and I would just tell Rachael what we wanted to do, and she would do all the hard work and execute it for us. She worked with all our vendors that we chose to make sure that they were all on the same page and knew exactly what to do on our big day. I was so relaxed the day of the wedding because I trusted Rachael and Creative Affairs. Rachael is not only smart and professional but so much fun to work with at the same time!! In summary, Creative Affairs exceeded our expectations and I would highly recommend them to anyone that would like to plan an incredible wedding. We couldn't have planned a wedding in less than 4 months without them!

alm and collective the entire management team was throughout the process.

was timely, organized, and went off without a hitch. In addition, she took care of the rehearsal which was a priceless service to not have to worry about anything the day before your wedding. Leading up to the wedding she was always available and very responsive via text. I don't know what we would have done without Rachael! She is a top professional and a great person! I cannot recommend Creative Affairs enough.

at Creative Affairs is responsive, professional, and really knows what they're doing. One of the venues they coordinate at, The Ultimate Skybox, is THE perfect place to have your event!! It will give your guests a taste of what makes San Diego beautiful - the scenery! Its a view that can't be beaten in any part of the county. Our wedding guests could not stop raving about how beautiful everything was, not to mention the space in itself! Minimal decor, indoor/outdoor, and plenty of room. We had a station party reception and it went off without a hitch. Thank you Amanda, Rachael, and team for creating the PERFECT night for our wedding at the Skybox. We will never forget it. <3

ue and still talk about the Ultimate Skybox 5 months later. The venue definitely played a big part in making our wedding so memorable. Our coordinator was Jessica and she was nothing, but amazing! She went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly on our wedding day. We would recommend her and the Ultimate Skybox in a heartbeat!

rapher and our guests. She made sure that each knew what the other was doing, and we could just enjoy the night. Everything was perfect and we really appreciated her attention to detail. The night was just amazing!

d planned and pictured it to be. Those results are due to Stephanie's knowledge, expertise, attention to detail and professionalism. Not only did she take care of all the business side of things, Stephanie was there for me via phone whenever I had a "bride crisis", as I was planning the wedding from a different state, her insight and advice was invaluable. I felt that Stephanie truly cared about our happiness and perfect day. I would highly recommend Creative Affairs for any event planning.

t listener and creatively took my vague ideas and made a beautiful wedding. Stephanie was available and flexible for meetings, wonderfully organized (check lists, emails, the works), and was thoughtful about all family members involved in the planning process. With her knowledge and warmth, we all felt like every question and situation was covered completely. I selected the middle package, where I sought out the contracts and Stephanie took over after it was signed. It was great that she has strong relationships with vendors in the area and could give detailed descriptions of different services to help us make the best decisions for our big day. Everything ran smoothly throughout the planning process and on the wedding day. Stephanie is hard working, friendly, and just delightful to be around. Having Stephanie was by far the best decision for planning our wedding in May of 2018.

vendors. She gave great suggestions on various vendors throughout the process as well as pointed out many details that we would have not otherwise noticed. She was incredibly organized and professional. We were so confident in her work I did not think or worry about a single detail the entire day (or even the week leading up to the wedding)! I can not recommend her services enough.

uch worse than it was predicted to be. Record rain. In July. With our outdoor-only venue. It's amazing how much I did not have to stress! All I had to deal with that morning was a text from Maria assuring me that she was watching the weather and looking into options. Then one phone call, where she told me an alternate venue she had already contacted, the price, and all I had to do was say yes. I appreciate so much that she called not to figure out what to do but with a solution! Surprisingly, everything went smoothly (from my perspective at least!), even with having to move the entire reception across the street. I highly recommend.

We worked together so well in the days leading up to the wedding and she saved the day in so many ways on my wedding day. When my dress strap snapped at the beginning of cocktail hour after a big hug from a big relative, Julia broke out her emergency kit and I was back out to the party in less than 10 minutes with my dress looking great. That is just one example of Julia's amazing work. She truly put my mind at ease and allowed me to enjoy every bit of my wedding day. With all my heart, thank you so much, Julia.

lessly executed the day-of! And while they took their work seriously, they never took themselves seriously. They were an absolute delight to work with!

flawlessly executed the day-of! And while they took their work seriously, they never took themselves seriously. They were an absolute delight to work with!

the beginning, I knew she was not going to disappoint! I put my trust in her and was not disappointed a bit; she far exceeded any expectations I had and everything turned out perfect! September 30th was truly a magical evening and Rachael made everything come together seamlessly to create my fairy tale wedding Thank you Rachael, for making this happen! She was very passionate, detailed, responsive, organized, knowledgeable, approachable, caring; she was truly a gem! She worked closely with us 3 months out up until following up after the wedding was over when we were on our honeymoon. She assisted with the day of timeline, follow up with vendors, recommendations of vendors, set up, details, packing up, etc. We were blown away by Rachael and are grateful for her hard work. Would highly recommend Rachael and the Creative Affairs team.

r understand my needs, to the day of my wedding with Jessica, my amazing coordinator, I was never once disappointed with the interactions that I had with them. I was planning a destination wedding, all the way from Northern Virginia, which often is difficult. Our wedding was truly a magical day and night and I can say with certainty that Jessica made this happen. A few words to describe her: gracious, confident, knowledgeable, sweet and delightful. I could go on and on about her! Jessica has a calming effect that even my best of friends noticed when they met her at rehearsal! They all thanked her for keeping me sane leading up to and during the wedding! Jessica was always there to answer questions, offer advice or just let me vent about the frustrations that a lot of brides experience during these times... At the end of the night I was a little sad because I knew I wouldn't be dealing with Jessica anymore and I really look at her as a friend now. Thank you again Jessica and team for making my event one to remember for a lifetime!!!!

nd assertive in making sure the day went off without a hitch. I would recommend them if you love working with easy going professionals who love to do what they do!

ledgeable and connected, and Jessica pulled off the on-site coordination with calm, style and class. They also helped us identify some awesome vendors who rounded out our team beautifully. Great job, Creative Affairs!!!

for an additional fee). I was assigned Chauncey Cannon--and she was a DREAM! I wasn't going to have a coordinator initially, but after I realized how much goes into planning a wedding, I'm so thankful I had Chauncey. I even eventually hired her for my off-site ceremony, so she was present the entire day with 2 assistants. Chauncey did everything from confirming vendors start/delivery time, to gathering a list of decor and instructions of how I wanted them set up, to creating a timeline of the day. She coordinated my ceremony, cued the string trio we hired when appropriate, and told each person in the bridal party when to start walking down the aisle. Without her, I would have never thought of the million little things that go into a wedding- like designating someone to grab our wedding cards at the end of the night (especially after an open bar!). She was there for my ceremony rehearsal, checked in with me throughout the day while getting ready, and updated me when formalities were about to happen. When she saw that our guests just really wanted to dance, she suggested that we go off schedule and get all of the formalities over with so we could just enjoy ourselves and dance the rest of the night, and we are so glad we did! If any mishaps occurred on my wedding day, I had no idea because she put out any fire before it ever came to me. She is such a sweetheart and so good at her job! Highly recommended!

anie, I was sold! Stephanie really helped make our small wedding intimate and beautiful. I could not have done it without her guidance and support. Creative Affairs, Stephanie and Amanda are the best! We got married a week ago and I have already recommended them to my friends!

orry about a thing! She coordinated the night beautiful and everything went off without a hitch. Most people say be prepared for a few slip ups at your wedding and that the day will not be perfect. With Creative Affairs, my whole day was perfect. I cannot say enough good things about this team!

her options. Our day went flawlessly and I attribute that to Stef and her team! I would recommend Creative Affairs over and over again!

be working with them. Stefanie is truly a fairy godmother to us. Things were handled before you even realized they need to be handled. They are responsive, professional and up for anything. We decided to do a destination wedding and Stef was there for us every step of the way. She was able to find us the most amazing vendors in a place we didn't know much about. She was always accommodating and made us feel comfortable. She guided us in decision making so that we could ultimately have the day/weekend of our dreams. We've been told by ALL of our guests that it was one of the best weddings they've ever attended and we know that this would have never happened with out the help of Creative Affairs Inc.

el and let me tell you, this girl is on point. She was detail-oriented, responsive and always went out of her way to help, especially during the "i want to pull my hair out" moments. I would do another event her.. just because of the experience I had with the staff.

ride and groom looking to get the most out of their day with zero stress!! Xo, Jenn and Dave

on would be in good hands with Creative Affairs. Jessica was the coordinator who was assigned to our wedding and she was also fantastic to work with! I'm a Type A personality and had lots of random questions leading up to the wedding and Jessica always responded to my e-mails quickly. I really trusted her advice when it came to the layout, logistics, timeline, etc...She is so sweet too! Our reception was perfect! Thanks, Creative Affairs!

the planning and executing of our surprise wedding for our guests such a memorable moment for my husband and I. She was so tuned into what our vision and our wedding was a dream come true. I can't thank her and her team enough for making it so perfect!

o utilize this venue again when we are back in San Diego.

The friendly staff recommended a slew of vendors that they had worked with and knew would be professional. We ended up picking most of our vendors from their list and were very happy with our choices. We loved the fact that we were able to bring in our own alcohol (saving a lot of money). Three months before the wedding we got our wonderful wedding planner Rachael. She worked with us to design a reception that was unique and exactly what we wanted. She was there to help with anything we needed or answer any questions we had. Like most brides you worry that your vision of your special day might not turn out the way you want it to the day of. I was speechless when I walked into the venue for the first time that day. Everything was set up beautifully and exactly as I had seen in in my head. Thanks to Rachael the team and all the vendors, it really was the best day of our lives!

ng, she provided great suggestions for all the vendors within our budget and helped with making sure that we had everything prepared for the big day. She always stayed in touch with me to make sure we were getting items checked off of the list. Best money that we spent for our big day.

enjoy the few days leading up to the wedding and that day by being so on top of it all. I'm a bit of a planner and have a proactive nature myself, so she was incredibly calming and helpful towards getting ahead of the game on timelines and vendors. She had great insight, tips, really followed through on small details we requested or imagined, and was a true pleasure to work with. The compliments we received from family and friends still keep coming, and our wedding was in October 2016. There are a lot of choices out there for wedding planning, but just make it easy on yourself and go with Creative Affairs!

nyone else worrying- we just wanted everyone to relax and have fun! Jessica was an AMAZING coordinator. She thought of so many details that I hadn't even considered, was extremely quick at responding to any questions or concerns I had, and met with us on multiple occasions to discuss plans. We loved that Creative Affairs was familiar with our venue so they knew exactly what they were doing and they got us a discount on our rental order. Jessica went above and beyond our expectations and did so many little things behind the scenes that we probably still don't even know about. She brought us our signature cocktail while we were taking photos after the ceremony, made sure everyone was in the right place at the right time, reached out to all our vendors and was just an amazing resource. We couldn't recommend any service more highly! If you are on the fence about hiring a coordinator, I would say Creative Affairs is a MUST :)

help me plan my dream wedding and came across Creative Affairs Inc.! I contacted them and within 20 minutes Amanda had contacted me and set me up with the amazing JESSICA. She truly was a blessing, I couldn't have asked for a more detail oriented, genuinely wonderful planner! She was organized, well spoken, had answers to any questions and concerns I had. We had only hired a wedding planner to help with the day of the wedding, but Jessica went above and beyond for us. Whether it was helping us find group activities for our wedding party or recommending brunch, lunch and dinner spots around the Gaslamp, she was so accommodating. I highly recommend Creative Affairs and wish you the same luck I had with Jessica. She truly made our day so special.

our event 3 months out and it was the best money we ever spent. Jessica, was a dream to work with. Always responded to emails right away, gave us great tips and advice we had never thought of. The weekend of she handled all of our day of details the day before which made the day of less stressful. She worked with all of our vendors and our venue coordinator to make sure everything was setup and take care of. We would hire them again in a minute!

er times unannounced) on multiple occasions, always with a warm reception. Sarah Finley (our assigned coordinator) became a very trusted resource and virtually a member of our family since being assigned to our "team". Although throughout the entire process she was available to us, even meeting in-person early on, the final 3-months were incredible. We had no idea what we were doing and she guided us, reassured us, and supported us in each way we needed. On the day of, she made us and our families feel incredibly comfortable and at ease. Countless people commented on her amazing attitude, attentiveness, responsibility, and calm demeanor throughout the entire evening - there are few words to describe how much we appreciate Sarah, the breathtaking Ultimate Skybox, and the memories Creative Affairs helped us create.

e at our ceremony location) but I don't know *what* I would have done without Rachael! From coordinating all my vendors, to collecting all my checks/tips for the vendors, to texting me leading up to the reception (making sure I wasn't freaking out too much), to even *tying my shoes* when I changed into sneakers during the reception!!!! Even my other vendors remarked on how organized she was! She really went above and beyond and I feel so luck to have worked with her. Please, please work with these guys - it will be one of the best decisions you make!

e about different vendors, restaurants, and hotels in the Coronado area. All of her recommendations were spot on! She recommended our photographer: True Photography and they were AMAZING! She recommended the florist and restaurant where we had our rehearsal dinner: Route 75 and IL Fornaio which did a great job! She recommended the hotel my mother in law stayed at: Hotel Marisol which she loved! And she assured me we couldn’t go wrong with anything at Hotel Del Coronado which was just a magical experience for us! Amanda was so helpful and professional in our few interactions that I can’t help but believe she is a fantastic planner to work with.

on. Rachael was the coordinator assigned to us and we could not have been more pleased. She brought so much experience. She is very well connected with the community and the vendors. Her attention to detail was second to none. To top it off, she is such a pleasure to work with. It felt as if she was completely dedicated to our event for the 2 months leading up to the big day. The venue speaks for itself – it is impressive! Your guests will undoubtedly enjoy the view of the San Diego Skyline. Our wedding was classy; it was beautiful, and so much fun. Thank you Rachael and Creative Affairs!

rust Jessica to make sure everything was perfect & it was. I would highly recommend Creative Affairs to anyone planning a wedding.

tor. I didn't think we needed one until I met Sarah Finley. She was amazing at keeping me in the loop and including me in every email. Even though I thought I was on top of all the vendors and details...I wasn't. Sarah was excellent at filling in all the things I missed and kept us on track right up to and including the wedding day. We couldn't have done it without her. This is really one of the best venues for a wedding or any other event. Thank you Skybox and Creative Affairs!!

ction. From co-ordinating vendors and giving referrals to recommending how to do gratuities. They know the business inside and out and work so well with people. Best ever!!

ng back, I could not have asked for a better wedding day and event. We had both the ceremony and wedding at the venue. While logistically this made the most sense for our guests, it did take quite a bit of planning to pull off both events under one roof, but the room transition was handled seamlessly while the guests enjoyed cocktail hour. The Ultimate Skybox is an absolutely stunning venue with amazing views, floor to ceiling windows and a huge patio. I really liked how everyone was close by which made for a very fun and intimate wedding. We definitely were trying to stick to a strict budget and felt like I was not compromising on anything with my wedding at this venue. I was able to pull off the wedding of my dreams all with in my limited budget.
