I cannot recommend Creative Affairs enough! From start to finish, they went above and beyond to make sure our daughter’s party was a success. Their attention to detail was outstanding—they answered every question I had (and trust me, there were many!) and, when they didn’t have an immediate answer, they quickly got the information I needed. It was such a relief to have a vendor who was proactive and communicative throughout the entire process.
They also provided invaluable guidance on the best ways to plan the event, offering suggestions that made everything run smoothly. On top of that, they gave me a list of other recommended vendors for food, rentals, decor, and more, which saved me so much time and stress.
What truly stood out was the personal touch they added. On their own time, they even made my daughter a beautiful gift box, which was such a thoughtful gesture. Additionally, they took the time to help me fully understand the contracts I had with other vendors, making sure I was comfortable with all the details and avoiding any surprises.
The list of things they helped with goes on and on—honestly, they exceeded all expectations and truly made the planning process a breeze. If you’re looking for a vendor who is not only professional but also caring and detail-oriented, Creative Affairs Inc. is the one to choose. We couldn’t have pulled off such an amazing event without them!

The vendor recommendations were spot-on! Creative Affairs has established relationships with some amazing photographers, caterers, florists, and rental companies. They truly understood our budget and provided us with options that fit both our style and finances. We ended up booking all our vendors through them, which made everything so much easier and affordable. It was a one-stop-shop with the highest quality team.

The personalized planning they offer helped make sure that our vision was brought to life, while also keeping everything on schedule. The team was not only professional but also calm under pressure, which was crucial on our wedding day. We felt supported and were able to enjoy our day without worrying about logistics. Creative Affairs was the best!

We had a seamless and stress-free wedding day, thanks to Amanda and her Creative Affairs wedding coordination team. From start to finish, they go above and beyond to ensure every detail is perfectly managed. We didn't have a lot of time to plan, as we pushed up our wedding due to an unexpected out of state move. It was as if we had over a year to plan in only just a couple of months. Our guests all said it was the best wedding that they had been to. They're wonderful!

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!!

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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!

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.

If we could do it all over again, we wouldn't change a thing. Julia and the rest of the team were amazing to work with!!! They are extremely professional yet comforting and friendly. Julia had a very calming demeanor that only comes with experience. 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!

We had a wedding size of 160 people at the Skybox and Julia Bagunu was our amazing coordinator. Creative Affairs made our wedding day the best day of our lives. The entire process of meeting Stephanie multiple times to see the Skybox, contracts 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)

I can't say enough wonderful things about Creative Affairs as our wedding planner. This was a destination wedding for us and we needed 100% help to navigate selecting vendors and hands on help all weekend. Stef was our
planner and was spectacular. 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!

Hiring Creative Affairs to coordinate my wedding was the best decision ever! We worked with Stefanie for nearly a year leading up to our big day. She was organized, responsive, creative, and kind. She helped us pull off the wedding of our dreams. It was truly a magical experience working with Stefanie.

We are positively thrilled to have had the good fortune of being paired with Stefanie as our coordinator. From day one, she resoundingly exceeded our expectations. We were floored by the depth of her expertise regarding the venue and our vendors. 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.

We would like to thank you for helping us enjoy our day to the absolute fullest! I am still in awe of how everything turned out. The day was just perfect and wonderful thanks to the Creative Affairs Team! Stephanie and Amanda were amazing and 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!

Wow, wow, wow!! Creative Affairs is totally awesome! We hired them for my daughter's wedding last month and it was beyond perfect, in large part due to their planning assistance and day of coordination. The owner, Amanda, was so responsive from 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!

If you are thinking about hiring a wedding planner - DO IT, and hire Creative Affairs! Hands down, the smartest and most worthwhile decision we made throughout the entire wedding planning process. Jessica Neibauer, my wedding coordinator, is an 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!

We have nothing but GREAT things to say about Creative Affairs!! We hired Amanda's team for our daughters destination wedding at Hotel Del in Coronado. From the moment we hired them, their attentiveness was beyond our expectations. Our daughters 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!
