nships with venues and vendors all over Southern California was very helpful in translating our custom vision into reality, while also being able to maintain in our desired budget. Planning a wedding across the coast from New York was not easy, and I wouldn't have been able to do it without Susanne. I'm grateful to have had the opportunity to work with someone as talented as Susanne. I hope there's another opportunity for her and I to celebrate together.

LOVE with Susanne’s work. The weddings she was posting about were spectacular and I honestly thought I could never convince her to work with me because we were on a budget and only looking for day-of coordination. Not to mention, we were planning our San Diego wedding from afar in Hawaii so the time difference and distance would be a challenge. Little did I know that Susanne would not only become the greatest decision we made for planning our wedding, but also make our day the most seamless, relaxing, and spectacular day. After I convinced Susanne to meet with me as a prospective day-of coordination client, I met Susanne in San Diego at her office. After our meeting, my mom and I knew we HAD to work with her… the way she spoke about what she does and how she’d make things happen was exactly what I needed and wanted. Organized, efficient, elegant, and creative. She quickly explained that she doesn’t do day-of work, and that really, the planning process is more inclusive than that, so we decided she was right and signed our contract! For the months leading up, she worked entirely within our budget, used her vendor connections and network to upgrade simple things like our linens and water glasses which added an elegant touch, and was very detailed in her correspondences with me, which was key because I was so far away. She went above and beyond to ensure my mom and I were happy with the planning and even put up with my OCD nature! Susanne met with me at the venue on another one of my visits back to San Diego, and even had her lead coordinator for the day of the wedding meet with me to go through everything to calm my nerves the week of the wedding! Susanne verified our vendor deliveries, put together our timeline, ran our rehearsal, and even stayed longer than what was required in her contract to help on the day of simply because she "wanted to"... so, so sweet! It was the simple things she did, like ensured that none of my bridesmaids had to start hair and make up before 10AM (trust me, this will be appreciated the day of!), she let us borrow certain items like an elegant cake knife and serving plate, she helped us reuse certain linens and moved them for us the day of so we didn’t have to pay extra for multiple linens, she snuck us into our reception ballroom to see the final product before everyone else entered so we could see how beautiful it was, she even went so far as to make sure my mom’s special order of a margarita cocktail was waiting for her after the recessional ended! These are just the small things, and I could go on and on, but Susanne and her team really are wonderful, thoughtful, and talented. Hire Susanne… she is talented and I learned so much from her. Her kindness and passion for her work is evident in all that she does. The vendors she works with and recommends are quality companies or individuals who also exceeded our expectation. Susanne and her team are worth every penny and will make your experience of planning a wedding easy, enjoyable, and beautiful. Thank you, Susanne, for making our day flawless… you really are an angel.

ckage! She not only has everything covered, but has things covered that you've never even thought of! And if you're looking for someone who has a backup plan for your backup plan, she's your lady. She handled our wedding so well we can't even imagine how it would have turned out without her! Would highly recommend her to anyone looking to have a beautiful wedding and a great stress free experience!

mmediately that we need not look any further for our event planner. Within minutes of talking with us, she really got what we were looking for. She has an amazing energy that shows from the first moment. And her wonderful British accent, and beautiful, warm smile, sealed the deal for us. She was incredible! There was not one thing from the first day of planning right up to and including the wedding, that she missed. Her organizational skills, personal relationships with the various vendors and ability to give you what you want without stepping on anyone's toes is uncanny. She is a great calming agent with there is a little friction. She also has a wonderful artistic side and is able to express what her client is looking for when meeting with the various vendors. She just made it all so much easier. And, at the wedding, we were able to be guests along with everyone else. What a great feeling to know you can let someone else take care of everything so that you can enjoy the evening too. Susanne has different ways in which she can help you plan and depending on your budget, you can use her for as little or as much as you like. We used her from beginning to end. If you are lucky enough to get Susanne to help you plan your wedding, do not hesitate! You will be happy you made the right choice.

9 months is that she truly loves her job and it shows. She has very good vendor recommendations and is well connected in the wedding industry. She has an expert eye for how wedding ceremony and reception set ups should look; I am pretty picky and I agreed with most of her creative recommendations. She was always very conscientious in keeping our budget in mind, gave her honest opinion on things, gave us plenty of options to work with and also kept the vendors in line so we would not be overcharged. She was such a pleasure to work with and is very charming, warm and professional; just a wonderful human being that I can not say enough about! On the day of my wedding, I felt very well taken care of by her and her staff and was able to enjoy every moment of it! My mother and her friends enjoyed their interactions with her and wished they knew other couples to recommend her to, too. If I had to do it all over again, I would hire her in a second! I feel so lucky that I got to work with her for my special day.

er a joy to work with! She helps with every vendor and pulls everything together seamlessly and with grace. What a joy, thank you , Susanne!

She was always very responsive to our emails and phone calls and super organized! Susanne was such a pleasure to work with. :) We couldn't have gone through this without her.

ped us find many of our vendors and coordinated all logistics with them. Plus, she is an absolute pleasure to be around! Whether you are looking for just a day of coordinator or someone to help plan the whole thing, I cannot reccomend her enough. Thank you again Sue!
