If you are considering hiring Events Inspired, let this be your sign to do it — immediately! We found ourselves in quite a predicament with our original venue about six months out from our wedding (4/12/25) and reached out to Stephanie for help. Little did we know, it would be the single best decision we could have made, irrespective of the challenges we were facing at the time.
Stephanie was everything you could hope for in a planner: prompt, attentive, organized, endlessly kind, and truly invested in making our day special. She navigated every twist and turn with grace and genuine care, making us feel supported and taken care of through every moment. She also works with the best vendors in the biz—we were blown away with how it all came together. If things went wrong on the day of, we had no idea. And any time we would think “let’s ask Stephanie,” she would magically show up and be by our sides. I don’t know how she does it, but she does!!
And as someone who works in the events industry, I can confidently say the only thing I would change about our wedding and planning process is hiring her from the very start. That’s a big statement — and I mean every word.
There truly aren’t enough kind things in the world to say about Stephanie and the entire team at Events Inspired. We are forever grateful to her and will be lifelong fans of this incredible company. I never understood why brides would say, “I am literally crying as I type this,” but now I do!!! Stephanie, thank you for everything. You made our wedding not only beautiful and seamless but an experience we’ll cherish forever.
Stephanie and Isabella truly made my wedding day effortless and I know I made such a great choice hiring Events Inspired! Isabella was primarily who I worked with and was hired for the day of. Regardless of being hired as a day planner, Isabella went above and beyond well
before the wedding to make sure all of my vendors were engaged and that all final wedding details were locked in. Isabella thought of details that I wouldn’t have thought of and was so great with tying up any loose ends. Even with my busy schedule as we approached the wedding, Isabella was kind and patient in working with me and I could not be happier that I was able to work with her and, frankly, had the opportunity to meet her! Isabella has a friendly and genuine demeanor that made me feel comfortable and taken care of. I am so elated that I chose Events Inspired for my wedding!
This review is long overdue, but we just have to give a huge thank you to Stephanie and the entire Events Inspired team! We worked with Stephanie and Isabella for about six months leading up to our wedding, and from start to finish, they were absolutely incredible.
Since we weren’t local, we had a series of Zoom meetings and, when in town, some in-person coffee planning sessions. They were always on top of everything, making the planning process so much less stressful. On the wedding day, they worked their magic behind the scenes, ensuring that everything went off without a hitch. Their attention to detail, industry connections, and extensive experience meant that every aspect of our day ran seamlessly.
Beyond being amazing planners, they are also just the sweetest people. We truly loved every second of working with them and couldn’t recommend them more!
If only I could put into words the sanity and assistance that Stephanie and Nicole brought to our wedding. From the initial phone call and meeting with Stephanie to meeting Nicole at the 8 week mark (we did the month of package), everything was perfect. Not only did both Nicole and Stephanie truly listen to what we wanted/cared about for our wedding, but they helped bring a lot of confusing things into perspective. Their expertise is jaw dropping and I am so grateful to have found the best wedding planners in the industry. Nicole did an amazing job ensuring that everything went smoothly for the planning process, rehearsal and wedding day and I can't put in enough words to express my gratitude for her. When you book with Events Inspired expect to have the most involved, caring, experienced people in the industry, because that's what you're paying for. Thank you thank you thank you Events Inspired and Nicole <3
Stephanie was incredible. My husband and I hired her to be our day-of coordinator and I could not be happier with her service. She was efficient, communicative, and handled all the details -- even some we hadn't considered -- with the utmost professionalism. I cannot recommend Stephanie enough.
My wife and I are planners and tend to be well organized so we got the Day of Coordination package from Events Inspired. Despite coming on board a month before our wedding, Isabella jumped right in and was on top of every detail for our wedding. She was delightful to work with, listened to what was important to us, and made sure all our vendors were in sync on wedding day. She went above and beyond by doing things like scoring our trivia sheets for our guests. Her calm, confident manner was also very helpful to have around in the planning stage as well as on wedding day. My wife and I were able to concentrate on our guests while she and her team took care of everything behind the scenes. We appreciated that she was also honest with us about the best way to implement our ideas while still being flexible to our unique way of doing things. I would strongly recommend Events Inspired!
I cannot say enough nice things about Stephanie VandenBerg from Events Inspired! She made our entire wedding experience, from start to finish, so seamless and stress-free.
She was very knowledgeable in regard to helping us choose our food, rentals, band, etc. and kept everything simple and organized. She perfectly played the line of being easy-going and opinionated when it mattered.
Thank you so much Stephanie for helping us organize such a special wedding. We will be recommending you to anyone getting married in the San Diego area! We couldn’t imagine working with anyone else.

If you're looking for wedding planners that feel like family and 100% make the day as easy and seamless as possible, this company is for you. We had an amazing time working with Nicole Curtis; she is a rockstar and so much fun to be around. All of our guests raved about how wonderful she was and how seamless the wedding went! This company knows what they're doing and I highly, highly recommend choosing them - you won't regret it! Thank you so much Events Inspired for making our day perfect!
I am so thrilled that Stephanie and Isabella (our wedding coordinators) recommended that we use a “Day Of” assistant. From the moment Nicole walked in our front door, she brought a sense of calm and structure to what could have been a chaotic day. With her charming demeanor, she kept everyone, including us, relaxed. She seamlessly coordinated 3 makeup/hair artists, 2 photographers, 1 florist, 6 bridesmaids, my husband and me and most importantly my daughter in our home. It felt like having a seasoned wedding pro as part of the family! Having Nicole here the Day Of set the precedence of the day being everything we had dreamed of.
My fiancé, mom and I recently had the pleasure of working with Stephanie Vandenberg and Isabella Nunez at Inspired Events for my dream wedding, and I can confidently say it was one of the best decisions we made! We knew that we wanted a “moving style” reception instead of a traditional sit-down dinner reception, following our traditional church ceremony. But, we didn’t know how to pull it off, especially since the majority of our 170 guests had never been to anything but a traditional seated dinner reception. On our first meeting with Stephanie and Isabella they were ALL IN, and helped us create a plan for the evening that was the reception of our dreams! From advance communication to all of our guests, signage at the venue, and the actual planning of the space and timing of events, their creativity, diligence and experience were exactly what we needed. Our reception truly was the reception of our dreams….and we are all still talking about how much FUN we had, and so did all of our guests!
I cannot say enough good things about Stephanie and her team. I had the pleasure of working with Isabella and she went above and beyond to make my wedding day extra special. She kept everyone on time, took the pressure and stress out of the day and all with a smile on her face. I highly, highly, highly recommend them for your special day!
We were referred to Stephanie at Events Inspired by a friend who previously used her for their wedding. We originally were only looking for a day of coordinator and Stephanie informed me that for our venue (Scripps Seaside Forum) she only does month of coordination given it is a blank canvas venue and everything is contracted out separately.
We decided to go with Stephanie for the month of coordination and it was the best decision we made through this whole planning process.
Stephanie and her assistant Isabella were immediately able to identify cost savings in all our contracts and manage those leading up to the wedding. They also took over all communication between vendors and kept us in the loop with everything which took a tremendous amount of stress and time off our plates.
The day of our wedding went as smoothly as we could of both hoped for because of Stephanies expertise. She was personable, realistic, and attentive to detail. Manny of my family members gave us compliments on how well our coordinator managed the event.
You never realize how much goes into everything, especially in the weeks leading up to the wedding and we highly recommend using Stephanie and her team at Events Inspired for planning your special day.
Thank you!

Events Inspired helped make our wedding experience unforgettable! Stephanie left a very impressive impression on both of us from the initial meeting. Experienced, personable, considerate, professional, and thorough. She engaged our vendors, worked through the details, communicated consistently and effectively throughout the process, and was on top of every task at the events. My wife was so relieved to have this kind of professional support to ease her mind about the unknown details that could tarnish our wedding day.
We highly recommend Events Inspired!
The adage 'you get what you pay for' holds true. Don't be frugal when it comes to your planner. This service means everything when it comes to a quality wedding event.
From the moment I first spoke with Stephanie on the phone, I knew I wanted to work with Events Inspired to help plan my wedding. She is ray of sunshine and delightful to work with. Stephanie was the best resource leading up to the event; she provided guidance on booking vendors, building the timeline, and other random inquiries in which she always had the answer.
We then had the pleasure of working with Nicole, who is also an incredible person, two weeks prior to our event who refined our timeline and made us even more excited for our big day, as she gave us the confidence that she was going to be sure it was perfect.
Our wedding day was epic thanks to Nicole and Julie who made sure everything went perfectly. We had a massive wedding party but they managed to keep everyone on schedule so that we could enjoy every moment. Our venue caused several hiccups, but Julie and Nicole took matters into their own hands to ensure the night still went seamlessly. If they weren't attending our wedding as vendors, I'd invite them as guests because they're that awesome!!
I hope to have the opportunity to work with this team of lovely ladies again soon!!
Stephanie and Isabella were an absolute joy to work with. We had plans for a somewhat nontraditional wedding, and Stephanie really listened to what we wanted and what was important to us. We ended up changing not only our venue, but our entire destination in the middle of the planning process, and she was not only accommodating but enthusiastic about doing whatever she could to make our dreams come true. It felt like working together with a close friend to create a magical experience.
The organization and level of detail was flawless. Monthly checklists kept us on task and ahead of the game leading up to the wedding. We always knew what we were supposed to be working on, and felt fully prepared by the time we got on the plane for our destination.
The day of the wedding was so seamless and smooth. We didn't have to worry about anything except enjoying ourselves with our family and friends. The entire weekend was sheer perfection - we can honestly say it was the best experience of our lives. Thank you SO much to Stephanie and Isabella!!
I purchased day-of coordination services since it was required by my venue. I didn't think I was really going to benefit from the service, but it turned out to be the best thing ever to have Christina oversee things for us. We had an intro call a few weeks before the wedding and she had the BEST questions for me to help make sure everything was organized and setup for success. She thought of everything that I didn't think of and she helped navigate everything that wasn't yet ready so I could spend my time with family and friends instead of running around at the last minute trying to communicate changes and details with vendors. She was a huge advocate for us when it came to negotiating with vendors (we had a ton of last minute changes and needs due unexpected weather changes). She was the best listener ever and followed through on absolutely everything even if we only barely discussed it. I wish I had splurged on month-of coordination to benefit even more from her expertise. Best experience ever!
Working with Stephanie is always one of the best parts of the wedding day! As a photographer in the wedding industry, Stephanie makes sure the day runs so smooth and effortlessly. We are looking forward to many more events in 2024 and beyond.
I cannot emphasize enough how much we loved working with Stephanie and Julia at Event Inspired for our wedding this year! They are such a warm, creative, organized and capable team and they were able to turn even our most outlandish ideas (an instant noodle bar, late night karaoke) into reality. We had so many people compliment us at the end of the night and I honestly didn't want it to end. Thank you Steph and Jules for everything!!
Stephanie at Events Inspired made our wedding planning so easy and fun. We were lucky to meet Stephanie when she planned our friends' wedding, and as members of the wedding party she was a pleasure to work with. After that, we had no doubts about choosing Stephanie to plan our wedding. She was readily accessible when we had questions, kept us organized, and was enthusiastic about all of our unconventional wedding choices. For example, Stephanie and her team reached out to multiple bakeries to find one willing to create a special cinnamon roll cake for us. The wedding rehearsal was completed efficiently and the wedding day itself ran perfectly. We would absolutely recommend Stephanie and her team to anyone!
I was a mother needing help and support from an expert to plan her son's wedding. Events Inspired was recommended to me, and I connected with Stephanie, a co-owner and fabulous event planner.
She listened to our vision, plans, hopes, and dreams for the event and connected the bride and me to vendors who supported our goals. They all worked together to accomplish a dream wedding for my son and daughter-in-law.
On the wedding day, Stephanie told me, "Now you go be the Mother of the Groom and enjoy the day." Stephanie and her team took care of everything.
The entire event, ceremony, and reception were pure magic. Thanks to Stephanie and Events Inspired.
Are you going to plan an event? Just contact them. You will be extremely pleased with the results.
In a time when customer service and communication are not the standard, Events Inspired and their team go above and beyond! Isabella was our coordinator and we could not have been happier! Exceptional communication, thoughtful attention to detail and smart anticipation of every need-known to us and not. Events Inspired was spoken very highly of and respected by our venue, as well.
The Events Inspired team were a dream to work with! Isabella is highly organized and on top of everything that needed to be done. The last weeks leading up to the wedding felt SO smooth and easy thanks to the team and the wedding itself was such a blast and so seamless. I so appreciated the preparation and attention to detail provided by Events Inspired - what more could you ask for in wedding coordinators?
We made the BEST decision hiring Julia as our wedding planner! She had tons of experience working at our venue, The Ultimate Skybox, so she provided many suggestions and was able to answer all of our questions. She was very kind, professional and organized. She listened to what our vision was and guided us on that journey. She made the day-of seamless, so we actually had time to enjoy our special day, while she dealt with all the intricate deals and communication with our vendors. Our wedding was a dream come true and that was in large part to Julia!
Could not have done this day with them. They helped someone who dreaded a wedding be able to focus on joy and peace. Worth every cent! I loved their help and ideas to know what works and what doesn’t.
Events Inspired was the best money we could have spent planning a wedding. Stephanie and Isabella were knowledgable, enthusiastic and incredibly helpful leading up to, and day of the wedding. We cannot thank them enough for creating the best day we've ever had!!!
We used Events Inspired for our wedding on January 13 at the San Diego Safari Park. Although we only used the day of coordinator option, we absolutely loved working with this company and would recommend them to everyone! Our coordinator was Christina, and she was AMAZING!! She was everything I had hoped for and more for coordinating our wedding. She truly went above and beyond for us, and we will both be forever grateful that she was able to help us on our special day. An example of her going above and beyond is she picked up all of our centerpieces on the morning of the wedding from our rental house, and when the wedding was over she brought all of the items we had brought for the wedding back to the rental house and dropped them off. This made it so easy for us and our family members at the end of the night, and it truly shows how much she and this company goes above and beyond for their clients. If we ever need a coordinator or any friends need one, we will 100% be recommending Events Inspired for any services needed.
I don’t really know where to begin on how lucky I was to get my day coordinator. It really was fate that pick Rachael for my wedding. I found event inspired on theknot.com, what I really loved about this team was that it was owned by women! I did some research on their website and really thought they were a fit for me and what I needed. I was able to schedule a meeting with Stephanie who asked me questions about my big day, once the first meeting happens she’s able to place me with a coordinator that really fits my needs and what I was looking for. I can’t thank her enough for placing me with such an amazing coordinator! Since I got a day coordinator I was able to meet Rachael closer to my wedding date which was two weeks prior on a FaceTime call. We immediately clicked! She really knew exactly what I wanted and provided me all the feedback that I needed to know for the big day! Rachael really helped smooth over all the worries I had prior to the wedding and made sure that all the gaps that were missing would be closed by my wedding day. Rachael was professional, attentive, and most of all caring. I knew she loved what she was doing even after talking to her for an hour! My wedding was at a naval base, a few weeks before my wedding the venue told us all of the guest needed to fill out forms to enter the base. This was the most stressful part about my wedding because on short notice not all of my guest filled out the form, so they needed service members to escort them in. Rachael was in contact with one of our friends to escort our friends and family in the ENTIRE evening so that all my guest were there. She constantly told me that everything will be ok and I should never stress on my wedding day and just to enjoy my moment. I’ll never forget that, that really meant a lot to me and it also made me realize how she much I trusted her and her work. Overall, I couldn’t have asked for anyone else. I am so lucky to have had her be my coordinator. If you’re looking for someone who is great at organization, detail, and going over and beyond, Rachael is your go to! 10/10 recommended!!!
Wow, Events Inspired was everything our wedding needed. I'm definitely a budget-minded bride, but I didn't want our money spent on our wedding go to waste due to the lack of logistics. My husband and I got married at a strict venue with a unique layout and a guest count that made it a tight fit -- hiring Julia and her team made the wedding smooth and the best day of our lives. As someone who has a tendency to want to control everything I am so glad that I hired Events Inspired. Our vendors reported high satisfaction with communication, our guests had a wonderful time, and I really did feel like it was the absolute most perfect day. Julia's communication was clear, punctual, and effective and I never felt intimidated to ask questions or make requests. I highly recommend hiring Events Inspired to make your big day a dream come true.
At first I didn’t think I needed a wedding coordinator, but it turned out that our venue required one. However, after working with Stephanie and Events Inspired, I know that not only did I not realize how much I needed a coordinator, but how great the Events Inspired team was. My wedding was overlooking Petco Park and months into planning, a concert was scheduled for our wedding day. Stephanie recommended how to handle it (we changed our ceremony time) and took care of notifying all of the vendors. She met with us multiple times leading up to the wedding and made sure everything ran smoothly on our wedding day (I didn’t even know until after the wedding that one of the vendors was an hour late). She also gets points for answering all of the million questions I had in the planning process. I can’t thank Stephanie enough!
Getting a month of wedding coordinator was the best decision my husband, Jason, and I made for our July 2022 wedding! We had the pleasure of working with Nicole at Events Inspired, and it was truly a match made in heaven! After our initial meeting with Nicole, we instantly felt at ease and knew we were in excellent hands. It was such a relief to hand over the final communications with all of our other vendors, knowing that Nicole would ensure everything would smoothly on the big day. We had the most wonderful wedding day and were just blown away by how seamless everything was - we can't thank Nicole enough for everything she did to support us leading up to and on our big day!
So, so happy we found Stephanie and Events Inspired. Having a team of true professionals there to review the details of vendor contracts, to help you craft a reasonable timeline, and to run the show the week of (among so many other things) was so valuable to us and allowed us to really relax and just enjoy the time we had with our families/friends/guests when the days leading up to the event arrived. The preparation with Stephanie and team really paid off and the entire day went so smoothly. Truly, I have had multiple attendees of our wedding approach us to comment on how organized everything felt and my bridal party also commented on how confident they felt after the rehearsal. So grateful for Stephanie and Isabella and cannot recommend the Events Inspired team enough!
Events Inspired was truly crucial to the success of our wedding. Christina Gold was a god send! She set up tables, florals, pocket squares, you name it, she was doing it. She helped keep things on track when we suffered a major set back (makeup was an hour late) and kept us all motivated and excited when things seemed to be getting stressful. It has almost been a week and we are still figuring out how much she was doing behind the scenes for us. We really cannot thank her enough and we highly recommend using Events Inspired in for your wedding coordinating needs!
Julia and Stephanie at Events Inspired are wonderful and amazing!!!
We initially wanted to do just day of coordination but we switched to month of since our venue was venue only. We are so happy we did change because Stephanie did all the communication with our vendors about a month leading up to the wedding which helped take off some of the stress from us. Stephanie had so much knowledge about weddings and to help us plan a perfect day.
Unfortunately, Stephanie had something last minute and Julia stepped in the week before our wedding. She was also so amazing. Her and Stephanie communicated everything and Julia came in seamlessly, knowing exactly what to do.
I cannot recommend them enough!!
I can't say enough great things about Julia and Events Inspired. She was very personable, helpful, and insightful. She gave me honest opinions and suggestions that really enhanced the details of the wedding. I decided to go with the plan where she started coordinating three months out and did all of the coordinating the day of. I did all the planning myself and she truly made everything come together seamlessly at the end when it was crunch time. I'm not the best planner, which made this a huge task for me. She was very supportive and I felt like she was doing everything she could to make sure my husband and I had the best day ever. We also wanted a very specific style wedding and she was so supportive of our vision. We even added an extra hour so she contacted all the vendors to make it happen. She helped create our dream wedding and all my friends enjoyed talking with her. It was a magical day and she was a huge part of that. Thank you, Julia!!!!!
I am so glad we chose Events Inspired for our wedding. We choose month of coordination which was a great package for us and Lauren stepped in to take care of all the last essential details, such as the timeline and vendor coordination (these were the details that I really didn't want to worry about, and with Lauren I didn't have to!) On the day of, she accommodated things really well, especially with my chronic health issues, we had to remix the timeline after the ceremony, but we still got to do all the things we had planned (the dances, the cake cutting). Lauren made sure my husband and I's needs were the priority of the day. I appreciate all the hard work Lauren and Events Inspired put in to create an amazing wedding weekend for us!
We are SO happy we chose Events Inspired for our wedding coordination. We decided to do the month of planning package and from the second Stephanie stepped in, we felt so relieved! She basically took over from there and perfected our timeline, not missing one detail. Our wedding day went by without one issue (that we knew of) thanks to Stephanie and her team. Working with Events Inspired allowed us to enjoy our wedding weekend and not stress about the details. We can't imagine our wedding day without her support! We highly recommend working with Events Inspired. Thank you Stephanie!!!!
I don't even know where to begin. Julia was AMAZING. I am very type A and I like to think generally organized, and if I could put Julia in my pocket day to day I would. Julia was SO helpful every step of the way planning our day at the Ultimate Skybox. When I needed extra help with my ceremony she jumped right in and problem solved. She streamlined communication with ALL of my vendors. Not only was she prompt, on top of EVERYTHING, but she is so kind and such a pleasure to work with. She really took the time to get to know my husband and I and it made planning with her just a joy. Julia, we so appreciate everything you did to make planning fun, smooth, and helped give us the dreamiest day ever. 100/10!
I had locked in most of my vendors and made most of the big decisions ahead of looking for a planner, so I decided to just go with Month of planning. I considered doing just day of, but I am SO glad that I did NOT do that. Month of is worth it, Events Inspired basically takes everything off your plate that you can just enjoy the time leading up to your wedding and focus on other things that are more important than timeline, logistics and vendor communication. Amber was absolutely amazing, she was incredibly responsive leading up to the wedding and was super helpful in making recommendations for us along the way. Day of, they wedding truly could not have gone better and I truly attribute it to Amber putting together the most perfect timeline for our day and communicating so well with all of our vendors. Events Inspired knows how to do weddings and how to do them well, I would 100% recommend!!
We got married at the University Club in San Diego on February 19, 2022. We were introduced to Events Inspired by the U-Club and I believe we had some services included in the package. My now husband and I talked about expanding the service from Events Inspired to include full planning. Just for background: I am not a woman who has had her wedding planned since she was a little girl and had no idea what I wanted. My husband and I have incredibly busy jobs and were wondering how to fit wedding planning in. It genuinely caused me so much anxiety. Then we met Stephanie from Events Inspired. From the introduction meeting, she put us at ease with her sweet nature and calming presence. We knew from then we had to expand our package to full planning. However, we appreciated the flexibility Stephanie offered. For example, although we wanted full planning, we wanted to manage our own budget and expenditure tracking. That was absolutely fine and we were able to tailor the service to our needs.
Every meeting with Stephanie was a breeze. She turned my wishy-washy vision ( "What flowers do you have in mind?" "I don't know... like... colorful ones?") into something tangible and I got so emotional when she sent me her design boards. It also seemed like she knew the perfect vendor for all our needs and she handled all the negotiations and paperwork. All we had to do was sign and pay. That made such a huge difference to us throughout the process because it meant we did not have to invest multiple hours a week with vendor back and forths. Stephanie was always responsive to even my most minor questions. Where I think Events Inspired offer the best value though is in the run up to the wedding. That was such a busy time and I don't know how I would have coped with having to finalize a timeline and contact each and every vendor to make sure they knew what they were doing on top of entertaining family and doing the other last minute stuff. We didn't have to worry, Stephanie handled it like a boss and I can't tell you what a difference that made to us in the days before the wedding. On the day, Stephanie and her assistant coordinated everything. There was not a single thing for us to worry about and they made it beyond perfect. It truly was beautiful and I can't thank them enough. To anyone considering Events Inspired - do it. You will not be disappointed and the peace of mind and calmness they bring to what is a crazy time is absolutely priceless. Shout out to EI's other co-owner, Julia, too! She, like Stephanie, is incredibly sweet and amazing at what she does. Thanks for keeping Joe on track! Thank you again Stephanie, Julia and all at Events Inspired. Our wedding wouldn't have been what it was without you.
Julia at Events Inspired was fantastic to work with, and played a huge role in making our wedding as successful and smooth as it was. She was an expert on all the aspects of a wedding that we didn't know we needed to handle, and had great advice and suggestions for things we weren't sure of. We weren't sure we needed a planner, but I can't imagine trying to sort through this many details without an expert's help.
To summarize in one of word how I feel about my experience with Stephanie and Events Inspired is Trust. I genuinely trusted Stephanie with every decision, all of her recommendations & advice, and the day of I felt like I didn’t have to worry about anything because I trusted she would execute our vision and make sure everything went smoothly. I so appreciated how Stephanie helped guide me on decisions in such a supportive way. She listened to me, understood our vision and our needs, and really made sure we didn’t skip a beat. Our day wouldn’t have been the same without her! Her hard work, professionalism, experience, and supportive nature put me at so much ease. It was truly a pleasure working with her and I am so happy she was a part of our special day!
I expected to be SO stressed leading up to and even on my wedding day, but thanks to Stephanie and her team, I wasn't stressed at all! Our meetings leading up to the big day left me feeling completely confident that they would make my vision come to life, leaving my nothing to worry about. And wow, did they ever deliver! Our day was better than I could've ever expected thanks to Stephanie and her amazing team! Their experience in the industry is unmatched and I'd recommend them to anyone who wants to have a stress free wedding planning process.
We had the pleasure of working with Stephanie at Events Inspired and were recommended to Events Inspired by close friends! We could not be more thrilled with our decision and our wedding went off without a hitch! Working with Stephanie was very valuable for many reasons but to highlight a few:
-Stephanie walked us through postponing our wedding due to COVID and how to address all vendors and guests
-Stephanie created the entire layout for where tables, food, dance floor, etc should go! We flipped the space from ceremony to reception and she created the perfect layout for both!
-Advised us on necessary rentals, how many tables, etc we would need.
-Attended the Rehearsal and made everyone confident in knowing their roles during the ceremony
-Created the entire Day Of Timeline and made sure everyone involved (including vendors!) were where they needed to be at the set time!
-Created peace of mind during the entire process & kept me fed the day of!
Stephanie is truly a bundle of sunshine and is an expert at her profession. As a bride, I was so relaxed the day of and didn’t have to worry about anything besides having fun! You will be very happy and very lucky to work with Stephanie and the entire Events Inspired team! I couldn’t recommend them more! Thank you Stephanie!!
Julia is amazing. She is very profession and on top of everything. We used her for our daughter's wedding and we were so happy with everything. She keep all parties informed of every detail and took care of all the little and big items associated with a wedding. You will be very happy if you use her. Please contact Julia if you want a stress free event. Her pricing is extremely reasonable.
Our wedding was a total success and it was all thanks to Julia with Events Inspired! She knew all the details and thought of everything to make sure our wedding went perfectly. She is so nice and totally put me at ease during every step of the wedding planning process. The best decision I made for our wedding was hiring Julia and I am beyond thankful for everything she did. She handled every detail so perfectly, down to the smallest details! I stepped on and tore my dress a bit during our grand entrance and she even had a sewing kit ready to go to help fix me back up before our first dance. She's an amazing person and goes above and beyond at her job!
Having had Julia Bagunu as our wedding planner, for sure, sealed our special day. Initially Rose and I didn’t think we wanted a wedding planner, but we could not have been more wrong. The depth and extent of the details necessary to pull off a wedding that runs seamlessly and has all the special touches, does not happen by chance.
Julia provided us with professional timelines, followed through, and communicated with a well-received rapport on our behalf. The vendors she recommended were equally as impressive and added to our entire experience. She was calm, organized, and assured. She kept us on track and was willing to meet us at our convenience. She literally thought of everything and took over the reigns in a way that freed us up, both during the planning stage, but most importantly on the day of our wedding. She truly made it our day to enjoy. Even during a difficult family loss Julia experienced leading up to our wedding, she did not skip a beat and was a consummate professional. My sister-in-law called us the day after and asked us, “If you had to the wedding over again, would you?” Our resounding answer was absolutely!! The venue was beautiful and we attribute the fond sentiments of our guests, family, and our own experience, largely due to Julia’s role in getting it going and seeing it through to the very end. We recommend Julia Bagunu with the highest regard.
Amber was our coordinator for our wedding at Feast and Fareway on Coronado on Oct 2nd, 2021. My wife is fairly type A and had a majority of the wedding planned but we knew a wedding planner was a MUST HAVE. We wanted to let someone make sure everything flowed smoothly the night of the wedding and Amber did a flawless job. She brought such a sense of calm to my wife and me. We feel truly lucky to have her coordinate our wedding. Thank you, Amber! You are seriously the best!
Julia from Events Inspired was a dream to work with! I was a very organized bride and she was always responsive to my emails/texts. However the week of my wedding Julia was thrown many curveballs from my venue and she handled them with grace and still executed my dream wedding. The day of my wedding I didn't have to worry about a single thing! I cannot thank her and her team enough!
I had the privilege of working with Stephanie from Events Inspired twice - once as a bridesmaid and again as a bride! After witnessing her in action in my friends wedding, I knew I wanted her to be a part of ours. We hired her for day of coordination and the moment she stepped in, I finally felt relief! So much of what makes Stephanie special is her knowledge of the process, her attention to detail + her talent at executing a vision. The big things, like the information in her welcome packet, and the small things, like her quick response to emails, really made us feel so taken care of throughout the process. We can’t say enough wonderful things about her and really loved working with her team - if you are on the fence about day of event coordination, I STRONGLY recommend budgeting it in! Events Inspired is a guaranteed way to ensure that your day is both seamless and incredibly special!
I could not have been more impressed with Julia from Events Inspired. Besides the fact that I found them in the HEIGHT of the pandemic, she continued to impress me with her attention to detail and great ideas! I have a small family and she helped me create a ceremony timeline, that made everyone feel special. Price was spot on!
