Events by Sonya

Sonya was consistent with her check-ins and on top of every detail, even those I didn't know I needed. Having an excellent team working alongside me was a blessing, as there were many moments in which I needed guidance from someone with experience. I am so grateful to Events by Sonya for ensuring a successful and beautiful wedding. Couldn't have imagined it any other way!

ordinator. I didn't have many leads, so I just started looking up the hashtag #sandiegoweddingcoordinat­ors on Instagram and came across Events by Sonya. We scheduled a meeting with her and I just absolutely adored her. She was so organized, answered all of our questions, and was even flexible with our budget. She kept in constant contact with us throughout the year via email, and when it came down to our wedding - everything went SO smoothly. Everyone was so surprised at how stress-free I was, and it was mainly because I knew everything was in good hands with Sonya. Our timeline went on flawlessly, and Sonya made sure that we had everything we needed that day. Shortly after my wedding, a few of my friends got engaged and we highly recommended Sonya as a coordinator. One of my friends ended up booking her for this year, and Sonya, as sweet as she is sent us a thank you card with a little gift for recommending her. And then on our one-year anniversary, she sent us a Christmas card with a beautiful custom ornament with our wedding photo on it! They were such unexpected gifts, but it just goes to show how important her clients are to her, even long after the wedding. I truly appreciate Sonya and all of the hard work that she put in to our wedding.

ased in San Diego, she had many great resources and vendor recommendations within the LA area. Sonya was always available to make sure that your planning needs were met. She made timelines for all the vendors and wedding party. She even sent out reminders and tips throughout the planning process that guided us through our wedding day. We were very happy with her services. Her positive attitude and professionalism always put us at ease. Thank you Sonya!!

ty oriented and everyone helps out - people bring food, set up tents, do the florals, etc. We weren't sure we would need a wedding planner or coordinator but my husband is from the Mainland and we knew we would need to do a blend of both his and my culture. Sonya was fantastic at making everything work smoothly. She had great ideas on how to make it a wonderful blend of our two cultures and put everything together seamlessly. All our parents, wedding party, vendors, etc had their own personalized timelines and contact sheets so they knew where to be when. It was so easy and seamless! Sonya was great at navigating our cultural differences and expectations in what we would want for our wedding weekend. We were so lucky to have her. Not only was her work exceptional and executed so well, but she was the utmost professional and such a calming presence on a hectic day! Everyone had the best time and we had very few hiccups. One was my fault - I didn't think about how to present the table assignment cards (normally on Kauai you have open seating but since we had a multicultural wedding, we did assigned seating so they would be more comfortable) and the morning of didn't know what to do! Sonya to the rescue! She went to the store and quickly purchased some art stands and boards and thumb tacks so we could put them up for everyone to grab their cards. It was so perfect! Much better than my idea of leaving them on a table (it is very windy where we got married). Our other issue was that it started to absolutely pour after the ceremony. It wasn't completely unexpected since it rains on Kauai every single day but Sonya handled it like a pro and ushered everyone under the tents. Mahalo Mahalo Mahalo Sonya for executing the best wedding weekend we could have ever hoped for!
