I cannot say enough good things about Britney. She was absolutely amazing and made the entire planning process a breeze.
Britney consistently maintains absolute professionalism. S...
he is knowledgeable and experienced in ways that you will absolutely need. You never really know how much of an undertaking wedding planning us until you get into the weeds of it, and my wife and I pretty quickly decided we needed help.
Our wedding took place in my parents back yard—we had 130ish people, so not exactly tiny. When you have a wedding somewhere that isn’t an established venue, it turns out there is a lot more work to do. You have to plan for things that venues just don’t: renting bathrooms, creating spaces, figuring out where the band goes… the list goes on.
Britney not only took the time to get to know us as a couple and really understand what we wanted for our wedding, but she also made the planning process into a guided experience that took out all the stress of planning. She went above and beyond to make our vision a reality.
From the moment we hired her, Britney took charge of the planning process. She handled all of the nitty-gritty details, so we didn't have to worry about a thing. She negotiated vendor contracts, booked vendors, and managed the timeline. She also helped us to stay on budget and make sure that everything was on track.
On the day of our wedding, Britney was there every step of the way to make sure that everything went smoothly. She was calm and collected, even when things were a little hectic (WHY was it still raining in Riverside in March?! we got lucky, but it was touch and go). She handled any unexpected problems with grace and ease.
We are so grateful to Britney for helping us to plan the perfect wedding. She was truly a lifesaver, and we couldn't have done it without her.
If you are looking for a wedding planner who will take the stress out of planning your wedding, I highly recommend Britney and Esoteric Bride. She is truly a master of her craft, and she will make sure that your wedding is everything you have ever dreamed of.
Gentlemen, your future wife will have a less stressful day with Britney there to handle the difficult work. She is worth every penny.
Britney was a life saver and great wedding planner! No way that we could have found the vendors, had the cohesion, and created our dream eclectic experiences without her. Our weddi...
ng was largely non-traditional, but also traditional in some ways. Britney was the perfect fit for us, as she has the open mind and creative ability to make a great wedding happen, combined with the skills to make sure a wedding will create an experience which the bride and groom truly want. She also really helped with our budget and made sure we stayed within reason. The meetings were both professional and fun; honestly I miss the meetings we had with her. On the wedding weekend itself, she made sure we stayed on schedule, but also allowed flexibility, and even helped us build some of the creations and ceremony space. Many attendees have told me it was the best planned, most fun, and most creative wedding they’ve ever been to! People loved the music, fire performer, and all the food. My wife had many ideas, and Britney was epic to help us bring ideas to life, offer insight plus more options, and help us fit all the puzzle pieces together. Highly recommend Britney!
Wow! I'm filled with so much gratitude for having found Britney. We hired Britney for full planning services, and our event was no easy feat. As an Event Planner myself, I was seek...
ing someone willing to get a little non-conventional with me and to be flexible with our many DIY components. Nothing scared Britney! From sourcing a fire performer to digging through Instagram to find a very specific (and uncommon) style of musician we were looking for (and in budget), Britney delivered. Britney was on a mission to find us the best vendors, stay within budget, and deliver an experience that broke the mold of what standard weddings typically look like.
Our venue was about as DIY as it gets, from bringing in rentals to bringing our own water to ensure table service. Britney thought through every outlet needed, each supporting staff member we'd have to find, how to prepare for the elements in Joshua Tree, and how to take our jumbled stream of thoughts and turn it into a cohesive experience. We met frequently over the course of the year, and she spent the time to cover each key deliverable in flight along with what we should be prioritizing.
And then the day of. Britney was everywhere, all at once. She's not afraid to roll up her sleeves to make things happen. We were in awe at the gorgeous ceremony space she created for us! Britney brings a range of talents to the mix that make her a well rounded planner, and her willingness to research and vet a variety of vendors ensured we could have a 1-of-a-kind wedding. We absolutely couldn't have created the incredible wedding weekend we did without her!
I’m writing this on every forum possible because everyone needs to know how incredibly talented Britney is. My now husband and I knew pretty immediately when we got engaged that we...
were going to need a very skilled planner to pull off the kind of wedding we wanted to have. We planned a shorter engagement (6 mo) and intended to have our 150 person wedding at my husband’s family home, which, beautiful as it is, is not a venue with a typical set up. Hiring Britney was, hands down, the best decision we made. By the end of our wedding my husband’s parents were asked by multiple people if they hosted weddings at their home regularly, which really just speaks to how talented and insanely knowledgeable Britney is about her craft.
She took our vision and ran with it, was so responsive throughout the planning process, and helped us find vendors who we absolutely loved. She thought of things we never would have thought of for a non-traditional venue, and her attention to detail ended up making the day and everything leading up to it run so much smoother. She worked within our budget and always gave us choices that met both our budget needs and our design vision. She was with us every step of the way, especially when things got stressful with last minute weather changes and assured us she had everything covered – and she truly did. If she was stressed at any point, I couldn’t tell — just professional through and through, and she made us feel so at ease as a result.
Our day felt extraordinary in every way. We had ideas of what we wanted, but we leaned heavily into Britney’s expertise and her design skill, and we are so glad we did. It was nothing short of magical walking outside for the first time and seeing everything set up. My husband and I had an idea of what we wanted our day to FEEL like but weren’t really sure how to translate that into the space. Britney got to know us, and every design idea she offered and executed felt like she’d known us for years. I cannot tell you how many compliments we got the day of and are still getting from guests about our wedding, from the décor, to the food, to the flow of the day. People have literally RAVED to us about it being the best wedding they’ve ever been to, and we cannot emphasize enough that Britney is 100% the reason for that.
If you are looking for a wedding planner, look no further. Britney is amazing at what she does and is also an incredible human to get to know.
Brittney was the best with helping us in everything we needed. We were in a different state in the beginning and there was no way we would’ve been able to do this on our own withou...
t her. She makes sure everything is being done the way we like. Our wedding came out beautiful and we could’ve have asked for anything better. We definitely recommend her as she will be our recommendation to our friends and family for sure.
Worked really great with the couple and family to ensure the day ran smoothly!! would recommend to anyone!!

to other great vendors. She also has an incredibly eye for design. We told her our vision and she brought it to life. I am so happy we hired her!
Esoteric Bride (specifically Britney Packard) was absolutely the best money we spent on our wedding. We chose their partial planning package with florals and everything was perfec...
t, from start to finish. Britney was by our side every step of the way. We ended up having to change venues, and Britney worked tirelessly to help up find a new venue and deal with the repercussions and negotiations. She is incredibly knowledgeable in the wedding industry. She was always available to talk when needed, is understanding and extremely trustworthy. She understood our vision and put it to life on our wedding day. Our venue was decorated beautifully because of her skills, without breaking our budget. The day of our wedding, Britney remembered all of the little details and definitely “ran the show” from getting ready through the reception – she is clearly an expect in her field. I have no idea how one person can remember all of the details, but Britney definitely shines in her profession. She played an enormous role in making our wedding day a success. She arranged meetings with our venue, negotiated for us professionally, found the best DJ, created a beautiful setting, table and flower arrangements, seating arrangement, and made sure the day was executed seamlessly. They say that “something will always go wrong on your wedding day” – but nothing went wrong on our wedding day, because of Britney! Thank you Britney and Esoteric Bride for the wonderful experience working with you.
Britney provided the most beautiful arrangement for my wedding elopement! My cousin recommend her and she definitely didn't disappoint! Thank you again, Britney

Britney from Esoteric Bride is AMAZING! We cannot thank her enough for all her efforts, guidance, patience, and creativity! She helped us pull off the wedding of our dreams within ...
6 months AND in the midst of a pandemic! She made sure to have meetings with us every week (via phone/video) and more often when it was closer to the wedding date. She was extremely organized. Each meeting had an outline of what needed to be discussed and gave us deadlines and tasks to keep us on track with the wedding planning. She is very detailed-oriented! The little things that my husband and I might have overlooked she brought to our attention. It was the little things that contributed to a beautiful and smooth wedding day. We received plenty of compliments from our other vendors and our bridal party about how organized Britney was with communication, documents, and order of events. We also hired Esoteric Bride as our Florist. She exceeded our expectations for the floral arrangements and the overall design vision of the wedding ceremony and wedding reception. My husband and I would 10/10 recommend her to couples looking for a wedding planner!!!
