It’s clear that Eileen has taken on too many weddings, which is jeopardizing the services that she provides. The owner of the venue actually expressed this as an issue the day afte...
r our wedding. Given that her fees are not cheap, we were expecting she would limit her number of weddings to the number she could actually handle, which doesn’t seem to be the case. As you’ll see, she only has a handful of reviews from 2019, which is a low number in proportion to the number of weddings she has done this year. This is a clear sign that her services aren’t what they used to be, as we live in an age where people would rather stay silent if they had a poor or mediocre experience than to rock the boat by leaving a negative review. Our day-of coordinator was Hayley McCarthy. It felt as though this was the first wedding she had handled on her own. We had quite a few issues during the planning process and our actual wedding day. We actually believe our day and entire planning experience would have been smoother had we not worked with Eileen and her team. We ended up handling a lot of the logistics ourselves, needed to correct a number of Eileen and Hayley’s mistakes, and found Hayley’s day-of coordination to be chaotic and stressful. Unfortunately, when we offered feedback to them, it wasn’t received professionally. As was stated in their response to us, they stand by their team, which they seem to put ahead of their clients’ experiences and a desire to improve their business. No one was there to evaluate Hayley’s performance but us, yet there was a blind loyalty to Hayley’s perspective of our day. We were hoping that our feedback could improve their future weddings so that other couples wouldn’t have our same experience. Any mistakes we mentioned, which were clearly avoidable, were cast aside as normal wedding day hiccups. This term, “normal hiccups,” seemed to serve as a catchall excuse for the issues that were caused by their lack of preparation. If you’re planning to use Eileen, ask to see the email chain between the two of us regarding our wedding feedback. This will give you a good idea of how they respond to challenges when they arise and the types of hurdles you may face if you hire them. I believe their services are worth 1/4 of the price they charge, yet we wish we could have foregone their services in the first place. This is the only wedding day you ever get, so be careful and certain when making the decision on who to trust with planning it.
Eileen is a goddess. I contacted her in a panic a month or two before my very last minute wedding and what could have been a stressful experience was transformed into a very calm ...
and well run planning process. My mom and sister referred to her as "the fairy godmother".
I had a vision of a simple, intimate, but chic and beautiful wedding and she turned my vision into a reality. Every single detail was perfect and exactly as I had imagined. She took an idea and ran with it.
She was always available via phone, text, email whenever I had questions or concerns. But it is important to mention that she never overwhelmed me with emails or phone calls. She interfaced with the vendors on my behalf and kept her emails concise, thus taking the pressure out of the planning phase.
She has incredible taste. I trusted her with picking out rentals as well as vendors such as the photographer, caterer, florists, and make-up artist. and everyone was amazing. They were exactly what I was looking for in terms of style and price-point.
Eileen not only designed the whole stunning event, she kept everything running smoothly, making sure we were on time, etc. She even went out into my mother's garden and cut me a bouquet the morning of my wedding and magically appeared with a glass of champagne at the exact moment I needed one before the ceremony.
There are no words to express our gratitude to her for designing and coordinating such a unique and special event (the civil ceremony followed by a tree planting ceremony, transportation, a farm to table lunch in Pescadero, a crawfish boil in Woodside, s'mores around a fire pit and drinks/dancing).
I still tear up thinking about this day and how perfect it was... all thanks to Eileen.
Also, she is so incredibly nice and has a great sense of humor. I will genuinely miss working with her!
From day one Eileen at E Events Co. was helpful, dependable and always thinking one step ahead!
Currently living out of the country, the thought of planning a wedding in San Fra...
ncisco seemed almost impossible. However, after hearing whispers of Eileen's work I contacted her immediately and the rest is history. From Skype sessions and late night emails, Eileen's support and industry knowledge helped in every imaginable way. From sourcing calligraphers to vendor recommendations and communication, she was on it. Eileen is organized, thoughtful and not to mention has impeccable style! I am so thankful to have found Eileen and can't recommend E. Events Co enough.

My wife and I worked with Eileen on a recent photo shoot and she coordinated our event. She did a fabulous job making all the elements come together! Eileen is pleasant, profession...
al, friendly, and has a great eye for design. We highly recommend her!
Thank you, thank you, thank you for making our dream wedding a reality! And because of all your help we will forever be grateful to you.
Eileen is professional, detail-oriented...
, upbeat, approachable…and most importantly a nice a genuine person. Her ideas are fresh and elegant.
Continue creating wonderful memories for your clients. Cheers!
...tears of joy!!!! I cannot even start writing a good review for her. My wedding was a half-way-around-the-world-destination wedding. I had to plan everything from the Philippines...
and Eileen was really my go to girl. From our first meeting up to weeks AFTER the wedding, Eileen has been extremely helpful (yes, even after the wedding, she was still helping us). She referred the BEST wedding photographers, dj and florist. She helped us get organized by creating a timeline and making sure all vendors were on the same page. She magically knew how I envisioned my wedding so I had such a calm and perfect day.
I initially chose Eileen as my organizer because I saw how great her taste was through online photos. She knew how to do stylish, classy and elegant weddings. Just from online photos alone, I knew she was the perfect organizer for me.
Leading up to the big day, Eileen kept me on track by sending me vendor updates and suggestions for some of the small things I forgot to decide on. Planning a wedding can be extremely overwhelming and I thank Eileen for being so organized that we did not forget a single detail!
Other than being so organized, Eileen is such a sweetheart. On the day of the wedding, I remember her asking me if she can do anything to help me calm my nerves---she was not just an organizer but also a bridesmaid in disguise! She reminded me that she had everything under control and I had nothing to worry about.
Eileen goes above and beyond to make a bride feel special... I remember she even said she had extra candles at home and offered to lend it to us to light up the walkway to our dance floor. That was one of the most brilliant ideas because our photos with those candles look amazing!
I was a bride with a lot of nice, jumbled up ideas. I was a bride who knew what I wanted but was also not 100% sure of my decisions. I wanted my wedding to be a perfect mix of love, fun, romance, entertainment, laughter, tears, good food and good wine. I wanted our big day to be the best day for all our guests and a day that they will never forget. If you are a bride and relate to any of the above, I really really REALLY recommend that you choose E Events for your wedding. You will not regret it and I am pretty sure you will be writing a review even longer than this full or praises.
Thank you E events for making our big day one for the books! Our guests have not stopped talking about it and even want to recreate the party in the Philippines! It was such a memorable one, thank you for that!
We had a backyard wedding and had to build this event from scratch. We knew we needed a coordinator and we got so lucky finding Eileen. To start, she is young and trendy, which is ...
sooo hard to find! We needed her fresh ideas and energy to make this thing successful. She is so organized and so calm - I was always at ease knowing our wedding was in her hands. She provided vendor recommendations, and even dealt with every vendor day of (which was nice, because we had a crazy lady as a vendor and Eileen handled it like a pro). I am opposite of bridezilla (I almost didnt do enough) and Eileen was able to improvise my wedding morning for things I missed - like, where do we put all the seat assignment tags - and there she was, rolling a giant wine barrel out, arranging everything perfectly. The entire wedding day was on schedule and was flawless. There was not a single thing that went wrong, and we owe it all to Eileen. And finally, Eileen is super cool and personable. Everytime I talked to her, I felt like I was talking to a friend - and she is insanely professional all at the same time!
Eileen's organization, deep attention to detail, sweet demeanor, and grace with everything she does, made my wedding the fairytale I've dreamed of. She's upbeat, professional, eas...
y to work with, and goes above her role as a coordinator. She loves what she does and that radiates through everything.
Eileen helped me with my "day of" wedding planning for my recent wedding in November. Eileen did such a great job and I can't thank her enough. Eileen is on top of everything. Sh...
e is easy to get a hold of, super organized, has great ideas, thoughtful, helpful and helps you think of things you didn't even realize you forgot... My family kept mentioning to me after the wedding that the day ran so smoothly...and most of that was due to Eileen and all her help that day and the days before.
Dear Eileen,
I want let you know what a pleasure it was to work with you at the
Riverhouse wedding this summer. You did an an amazing job keeping
things moving from ceremony...
to reception. I appreciated the way you
shared information with each of us (caterer, photographer, DJ) allowing us to all be on the same page. I believe it’s that kind of communication that enabled each of us to accomplish our tasks so well.
It is so nice to see an event coordinator with such an energetic, polite,
helpful, professional approach to the job. You knew what needed to be done for the client throughout the day. It was clear that you weren't afraid to get your “hands dirty” in order to keep the day on schedule and provide the extra effort to take care of details that needed attention.
I will most certainly recommend you as a wedding coordinator who will do a highly professional job.

Ariana was absolutely professional, calm, and capable from beginning to end. I had a DIY wedding at my father's home, and she made sure that every crazy detail was executed in my ...
vision. People told me that I could never find someone to help with all of the things I needed in my price point, but Ariana was affordable for us and went above and beyond her responsibilities as stipulated in our contract. She was simply a joy to work with and I would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat!
I went back and forth deciding whether or not we needed a coordinator for our wedding. I was so excited to finally plan, that I didn't 'think' I would need too much help. We opted ...
to find someone to help with month of coordination so we weren't running around the day of our wedding. Hiring Eileen was the best decision we could of made for our big day -- I honestly don't think we could of done it without her. From our first phone conversation I knew I could trust her and valued her opinion. She kept in touch throughout the entire wedding planning process (even to answer my silly questions about whether I should get a spray tan or not) and was extremely organized. My biggest concern was seeing all my ideas come together and since I'm the first of my close friends to get married, how do we make this happen!? Eileen drew up a timeline that kept me on track and focused, helped select rentals, coordinated the venue walk-through, and all month-of vendor communication. She seriously went above and beyond!
Let's not even get started with the rehearsal and day of coordination! Eileen not only coordinated the rehearsal, but did all the decor and rental set-up (and I had a lot of misc. decor that I wasn't even sure where to display). She even took all my menus and napkins home the night of my rehearsal to fold and tie! And then there was my wedding day which was absolutely flawless, and I mean, no hiccups (that I could see at least) with Eileen running the show. So many people warned me that there would be mistakes, and not to sweat the small stuff, but honestly, I never felt that way with Eileen. She had this amazing calm about her the entire day and everything went beautifully. She is also one of the sweetest people you will meet and will become more than your coordinator but a friend by the end of your big day :)
I HIGHLY recommend Eileen for any bride needing help with design, wedding planning, or month of coordination!
Eileen was one of the easiest people to work with and by far the most organized. She took care of every last detail and did so with a smile! The Wedding was absolutely gorgeous; sh...
e has an eye for the fabulous with a very sophisticated edge. You will be so happy you hired her for your Wedding as she works with you from start to finish, and you'll want to be her best friend, too!
Thank you Eileen!
Eileen made our wedding the perfect day! Besides making everything happen on our wedding day just as it was planned, she ran extra errands for me, she dealt with groom and groomsm...
en wardrobe shenanigans, dropped off and picked up dry cleaning, just the best!!! Couldn't have pulled it off without her! Total PRO!
