We used first comes love for the month of planning. I would say our overall experience was just okay. From a pricing standpoint they are very fair, but I feel like I could have jus...
t used their day of service. I heard from previous brides that their month of planner was a life saver and was so helpful, but that was not my experience. Their response time was terrible, and they did not deliver documents in a timely manner; I had to follow up repeatedly. I personally feel like I could have done their prep work for them. Even 1-2 weeks out I didn't feel like a priority for them.
On my wedding day I worked with Lindsey and her assistant. They were pleasant to be around. There were a few instances where Lindsey was rude to my mother and maid of honor. They did beautiful work setting up, and helping the day run smoothly in terms of timing.
Overall, they were the only vendor my bridal party and family did not like. If I was planning my wedding again I would go with another vendor.
Without Amy, our day wouldnāt have been the best day of our lives...Initially we thought we could go about putting our wedding together on our own down in Guadalupe Valley, Mexico ...
and we quickly learned we werenāt getting anywhere fast. We were getting zero response from anyone we tried to get a hold of down there and started to worry our plan wasnāt going to happen. We knew we needed a professional. We found Amy online and had an initial phone call consult and that was pretty much all we needed.
When we first met Amy, I knew she was the one to get it done. Sheās straight forward, very direct(which I love), extremely responsive(trust me, my then fiance hit her up constantly and she was ALWAYS so responsive and patient), she is extremely professional, and she just gets SHT DONE! Every step of the way, she was there for us. She kept us calm, minimized our stress levels and gave us the confidence that our day was going to be a success. She made several trips down to Mexico to deal with the different vendors and always gave much needed guidance and advice.
Come to our wedding day, all of her and my wifeās work came to fruition. The day was absolutely PERFECT. Everything flowed as planned and Amy was just as good as it gets. I wouldnāt recommend anyone else. Sheās the consummate pro. THANK YOU for making this day the most memorable day of our lives!!
Working with Amy and the First Comes Love team was easily the best decision I made for the wedding planning process. Amy was with us every step of the wedding planning process - sh...
e helped review our venue, all contracts, had amazing vendor recommendations, and was just the best support over the 1.5 yrs of planning. We had monthly calls with her on the books to stay on track leading up to the wedding and was also always available via text/email if we had ad hoc questions for her. The entire planning process was stress-free and we owe it completely to her.
Amy came recommended to me after a friend of mine also partnered with her for their wedding - easy to say that I will be passing along that recommendation to any future friends looking for a wedding planner. Thank you for everything, Amy!
Amy was a really great wedding coordinator! I worked with Amy and her team for the month of coordination package and it was exactly what I hoped it would be. Amy was such a helpful...
resource before the wedding, answering any questions, communicating with vendors, and finalizing the schedule, layout, and day of details. When it finally came time for our rehearsal and wedding day, I truly didn't worry about one thing knowing that we were in great hands with Amy. Our entire wedding party complimented how well the day went and all of our vendors said they love working with Amy as well.
Amy did an amazing job out our wedding and made sure we didn't feel like we had to worry on the day of. She was a great advocate for us and anticipated all of our needs. She was ve...
ry easy to communicate with before the wedding and made sure we were comfortable.
First Comes Love delivered a phenomenal experience for our wedding! We did the "Month of" option, and Amy helped us with various logistics and vendor recommendations/introductions ...
even well before the 1 month out mark. She was always super responsive and communicative, plus payment logistics were super convenient.
In the final month, she tied all the pieces and vendors for the wedding together and project managed everything to a tee so we didn't have to worry.
On the day of, Lindsay was the best wedding coordinator we could ever have imagined. She looked after every detail, things I never even would have thought of, and went above and beyond in setting up decorations, props, etc. and she was a master communicator to get everything set up in parallel. She managed the entire event end-to-end and solved all problems that inevitably arise during a wedding, protecting us from needing to worry about anything besides having fun! As an example: we bought our own bar supplies and she tracked when we got low on one ingredient and even offered to place a delivery order for us, I couldn't believe that level of service!
I would recommend First Comes Love to anyone I know. Thanks for being fantastic Amy & Lindsay!
We had an amazing wedding day and I would recommend First Comes Love to anyone! Our wedding coordinator Lindsay was a rockstar, and all the other folks we coordinated with over ema...
il and phone were super helpful as well.
Amy was a delight to work with! She was easy to communicate with and was always prompt with all her responses. We procured Amy's services the month of the wedding for 150 guest at ...
the US Grant Hotel. She executed flawlessly the day of the wedding and went above and beyond our expectations. We highly recommend her!
Amy and her team were the utmost professionals and made our special day as seamless as possible! Don't even want to think about how it may have gone without them! Amy is communicat...
ive, clear and was a joy to work with! Highly, highly recommend!!!
Amy and her team are incredible! We hired First Comes Love for their Month-Of package, and it was some of the best money we spent at our wedding. Even though it was "month-of" we r...
eceived emails from Amy and her team at multiple points prior to the one-month mark, providing planning tips and reminders. She also helped us find some of our vendors, including getting discounts, which was amazing. There's so much that her team did behind the scenes that I don't know that we would have been able to figure out on our own, or been able to manage (COI's for the vendors, general vendor coordination, creating a timeline, etc.), not to mention all of the execution on the day of (who is doing that if not a coordinator?). Lindsay was our coordinator on the day-of, and she did an amazing job! When you spend almost two years planning your wedding and then hand over the reins on the day of, it's a little scary, but Lindsay truly executed everything far better than I had even imagined. Highly highly recommend this team!!
Amy is the best ever. We started working with Amy as a partial planning client in early 2019 for our 2020 wedding. Unfortunately due to covid, we had to postpone twice! Amy stayed ...
with us the entire way, organizing all our vendors, finding new dates, and ensuring us it would all be okay. I can't say enough nice things about Amy. She is superior at her job. On our wedding day, I never felt stressed because I knew I was in good hands. She facilitated the entire day perfectly. If you are looking for a wedding planner, Amy is your person.
Amy was the absolute best wedding planner that we could have asked for! From the beginning, my husband and I appreciated how honest and realistic she was about the wedding process ...
and expectations. She kept us on track for the entire year of planning, helped us find great vendors, and was always available for any questions that we had. Leading up to the wedding she made us feel at ease knowing that everything was in good hands and nothing had slipped through the cracks. As someone who had not had many friends get married before, I was so thankful to have Amy's guidance because I really didn't even know where to start when we got into the wedding planning process.
During our wedding weekend, Amy made everything run smoothly and more perfectly than we could have even imagined! We absolutely loved all of our vendors, but Amy was truly above and beyond! 100% recommend!
Amy DaSilva with First Comes Love is the best in the business. Our wedding at La Valencia on 4/30/22 was absolutely wonderful and most of it has to do with how well organized she m...
ade the day. Crazy things will happen at your wedding, and having Amy support you will make all the difference. She literally fixed my dress bustle on the dance floor with safety pins. Absolutely incredible. If you want a successful wedding. PLEASE hire First Comes Love. Do it!
We worked with Amy and her team for over two years when planning our wedding and cannot recommend First Comes Love enough! Amy shared her wealth of knowledge about the industry and...
utilized her connections and network to ensure that we were working with the best vendors at the best prices. When COVID hit and we had to postpone our first wedding date, Amy handled the uncertainty, pressure, and the great unknown with professionalism and grace, always making sure there was transparency and open communication as we all rode the pandemic out. She was upfront and honest about how and where we can save and splurge, what is worth it vs. not worth it, etc., which really allowed us to maximize our budget accordingly. Amy and her team made the day of our wedding run so smoothly that as far as we know, there were no issues or problems, which is the best case! Having her there allowed us all to just breathe and enjoy the day. Thank you Amy and the FCL team!
We loved working with Amy and her team at First Comes Love! She is an expert in all things wedding and we received many compliments from our guests that our wedding was one of the ...
smoothest run weddings that they had ever been to. The word that everyone keeps saying is 'perfect.' She was easily accessible and was great about answering our many questions and emails. Would highly recommend Amy to anyone!
Amy and her team were AMAZING to work with and made our wedding even more perfect than we could have ever imagined. We had to reschedule our wedding due to the pandemic (after alre...
ady having to change venues originally) which obviously was a little stressful, but she made the situation so seamless and easy for us to deal with. I live in Alaska but we decided to get married in La Jolla, so we were a little bit concerned about how the planning would go seeing as we aren't in the same state. Amy made everything so easy on us with phone call meetings and then getting everything set up for one day when we were down visiting. She made me feel comfortable all throughout the planning, was available any time to answer any little question, and brought all of my visions to life. My wedding would not have been the same had it not been for Amy - she is so professional, kind, and organized and I would HIGHLY recommend her. She did such an amazing job and gave us the wedding of our dreams.
Planning a wedding is difficult enough. Planning a wedding during a pandemic is near impossible, and probably would've been if it weren't for the patience, kindness, and expertise ...
of Amy and her team. She helped us navigate every aspect of the wedding, including finding vendors, managing the budget, responding to unsolicited feedback from family members, and putting it all together for the big day! I can't recommend First Comes Love enough for your big day š
We hired First Comes Love for our August 2021 wedding, and it was absolutely the best decision we could have made. Amy and her team are absolutely incredible! She was so supportive...
and helpful every step of the way. Amy truly made me feel so comfortable and well taken care of through the planning process, up until the end of our wedding day. We truly could not have had such a successful day without her. Amy is so experienced, knowledgeable, kind, and professional. I cannot explain in just one review how great she and her team were. Truly the best of the best. If you get the chance to hire First Comes Love, do it! You will not regret it.
Amy was absolutely incredible to work with. She was so organized, professional and helpful! I genuinely believe that our wedding day was as perfect as it was because of all of her ...
help. Even when things went wrong, (my bridesmaid choking during dinner and the wrong flowers flowers/vases were delivered for the centerpieces) Amy was quick to resolve the issue and ensure that my husband and I had an incredible and worry free night. I think we can all agree that weddings are expensive, but the money that we spent on first comes love was absolutely worth every penny.
Amy from First Comes Love was a god-send throughout our wedding planning process. After two cancellations due to Covid-19, we finally had the wedding of our dreams. Amy made sure e...
verything went off without a hitch and we cannot thank her enough for her support during our prolonged two years of planning!
Amy is the BEST. Not only did she fight for the entire events industry, she handled our wedding and made it so stress free for myself and my now husband. We hired her in the middle...
of COVID, with shifty dates for the wedding, barely any idea of what we wanted, and she pointed us to the best vendors while saving us thousands. She communicated often and made sure we knew what was going on, helped with decorations the day of the wedding, got us sparklers for pictures when we forgot them, got our hotel rooms upgraded, the list goes on and on. Amy is a no BS type of business woman and the only wedding planner youāll need.
Amy was the absolute best wedding planner we could have ever, ever hoped for. Pre-covid, she helped us plan everything early, kept us on track and was always available to answer ou...
r questions. We always felt better after talking with her, which was key for any stressful moments. Once all of our plans changed, she worked tirelessly to help us navigate what our wedding would be. She helped us turn our covid wedding into the actual wedding of our dreams. She took care of all the negotiating and coordinating with the vendors, so thanks to her we kept our original date, location and in a matter of weeks put together a brand new design that was better than our original.
In general, I cannot recommend having a planner enough, no matter what size your wedding is. Definitely go with Amy and the First Comes Love team, they are truly incredible.
After interviewing a handful of wedding planners - there was one thing Amy said that caught my attention and set her apart from the rest. She said, "I'm not unicorns and rainbows, ...
but I get things done." Little did I know just how much I would need a bada$$ on my side when the pandemic began. Amy is all about moving down the to-do list, making decisions, and moving forward. Because of this, she keeps you AHEAD of schedule on most things so that you really get to enjoy not just your day, but the weeks leading up to the big day. When I had to completely reinvent my wedding due to COVID-19, no idea was too crazy and she always knew exactly what I was explaining, describing, trying to articulate...even when I didn't really know what I was saying. If you want a wedding planner with experience, a wide network, and a go-getter - First Comes Love is there for you.
Simply the BEST in this business. We had Amy at First Comes Love do month-of coordination for our August 2020 wedding. As a COVID bride, our wedding simply would not have been able...
to take place on our original date without Amy and her expertise. As the COVID pandemic developed, Amy used her expertise and enormous network to give industry updates, advice, guidance, and to even advocate for the opening of weddings at the local and state level. When we decided to go forward with a smaller wedding on our original date, Amy supported us 100%. She was a pro at navigating all the changes that come with adapting a wedding to the requirements of COVID. She took so much pressure off us leading up to the wedding and let us relax and enjoy this special time. The wedding was INCREDIBLE thanks to her. All of our guests stayed healthy and happy and thanks to Amy we had a wedding that exceeded all our expectations, COVID or otherwise!!! Several guests said to us the same, and told us it was one of the most beautiful and fun weddings theyāve ever been to, even pre-COVID. Amy herself is fabulous, efficient, and is an absolute joy to work with. I think vendors sometime sugarcoat things for their brides, but I LOVED how Amy was so compassionate and caring without sugarcoating anything. That was key when COVID rolled in and we needed real advice to weigh our options, not fluff. In all, HIRE AMY. We will always hold such a special place in our hearts for her, as she is the one who made our dream wedding possible AND incredible throughout all this craziness. Nobody does it better.
We were referred to Amy and her team by my sister-in-law and they did not disappoint! Jennifer assisted us with our wedding and we couldn't have been more happy! She is very nice, ...
easy to work with and organized. We hired First Comes Love for day of coordination, but they went above and beyond by reaching out and helping coordinate a month before the big day. Jennifer was very patient, we had a bridal party of over 20 people and she was great at making sure everyone was where they were supposed to be understood the importance of fun! I highly recommend First Comes Love, they are truly the best!
We hit the wall interviewing too many wedding planners and felt a huge weight fall off our shoulders when we met Amy. After just one phone call, we knew that we wanted her on our t...
eam! Her communication style was so easy-going and she was always right on top of everything--she would mention an update and before we knew it, we had an email with details in our inbox. Our wedding was in Valle de Guadalupe, at a facility that had hosted only a handful of weddings prior to ours, so we had our work cut out for us in carving out an event path with them. Amy was a very flexible partner in meeting us down in the region several times for walk-thrus and face-to-face meetings. She helped iron out wrinkles and was very resourceful in making our dreams come true. We would send her pictures of things we wanted, like shot glasses to gift our guests, and within a few pushes of a button she found them for us. On the day of, Amy and her team were swiftly organizing everything behind the scenes with smiles on their faces, making us and all of our guests feel supremely cared for. They set everything up to a tee, with meticulous attention to detail, moved the day along right on schedule, and even met us with a plate of appetizers to scarf down before we walked into our reception. So many of our friends came up to us afterwards to say that our wedding planner did such a wonderful job! We are so pleased to have met and worked with Amy. She executed our wedding exactly as we had envisioned, and has given us the fond memories of the day to last a lifetime.
We had Amy assist us in our last month and on the day of the wedding. She was so helpful. Our venue required a day of but I suggest doing month of for more ease. I don't have a sin...
gle bad thing to say about the experience. You won't regret working with First Comes Love!

h and effortless for us.
All anyone wants in the wedding process is; low stress, easy, constant communication, and for everything to go as planned. With First Comes Love, this is exactly what you'll get. Amy has tons of experience, and it truly shows.
Amy was always available for us to call with a question and never made us feel as though we were an inconvenience. She paid attention to every little detail and made us feel like we were her first priority.
We had an amazing wedding and without Amy, it wouldn't have come together as well as it did.
WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER!
My husband and i had Amy as our month of coordinator and she was so much help. Amy was just wonderful and took so much stress off me. I could actually start getting excited for my ...
wedding instead of dreading what may go wrong. And let me tell you, everything went absolutely perfect. Amy was on point for the entire process. She made sure the hotel had everything they needed and that the vendors were well informed. She made sure I knew where we were in the process and what was next. She was always willing to give advice and we appreciated her input so much. During the walk through of our location I wasn't sure where everything should go that would work best, so having Amy there to guide us was a life saver. I couldn't imagine my day going as smooth as it did without her.
Amy made our "day of" and absolute breeze and stress free knowing everything was being handled by an experienced professional She was very responsive and able to help with any que...
stions/concerns beforehand. Lastly, she has a great sense of humor, which was greatly appreciated by our wedding party :)

d and honest feedback when we asked for her opinion on something, and was fun to work with. In addition to all of her help leading up to the wedding, Amy was a rockstar on the day of. I would highly recommend her to all of my family and friends.

ould be crazy. I decided to hire FCL and it is the best decision I could have made. Amy and Lindsay both communicated with me any time of day, offered flawless advice, work efficiently and effectively, and have all of the industry connections. My wedding ran so smoothly, literally everyone was on cloud nine the entire time. Thank you thank you thank you ladies! Lindsayāyouāre a bustle queen and i adore you!
We hired First Comes Love for our wedding in November of 2018 and cannot recommend Amy and her team enough! We had the pleasure of working with Amy for 10 months and she was so ama...
zing we still keep in touch! First Comes Loveās āFull Planningā package was exceptional and affordable. FCL made all our dreams come true within our budget! Amy provided us with amazing options for vendors and walked us through the whole process. She got my vision for the wedding and executed it amazingly. The planning process with FCL was fun and enjoyable from the very first meeting through the wedding and even beyond. She was able to guide our 20 person wedding party with ease and made sure everyone had everything they needed. Everything was flawless and magical. Just the way a wedding day should feel!
I have mixed feelings about First Comes Loves. Prior to the wedding and rehearsal they were reliable. On the day of the rehearsal no one showed up and we were unable to reach the w...
edding planner. There was an emergency which I understand, but we were not notified. The day of the wedding we ended up having different wedding planners than expected- again an emergency, which I understand they occur, but I as the bride did not find out about this until the day after the wedding which was odd ( I feel like the associated could have communicated this with me). Nonetheless, the planners that were there during our wedding orchestrated the wedding smoothly, were friendly and pleasant to work with. But there were some minor hiccups. Overall their day of went well but it could have gone better..
First Comes Love (for us, that meant Amy and Ally) was easily the best and most important expense of the wedding. I will tell everyone I know who's doing a wedding to NOT MISS THIS...
CHANCE!!
Planning the wedding was fun to do but let's be honest, a month out you're just trying to stay cool, look good, and relax so you can have the best day of your life!!! I was completely able to do that with FCL. I got married at the Prado in Balboa Park, and these ladies are all friends with everyone there and seem to know everyone in the business! Every time I was worried about something, they told me they had it under control. I had nothing to worry about on the day of and enjoyed my wedding the way it was meant to be experienced - relaxed and feeling awesome!!!
Thank you Amy and Ally and the rest of the team for helping couples everywhere execute the wedding of their dreams!!!!
I cannot say enough great things about Amy! I admit, I wasn't super thrilled about spending the money on a day-of coordinator but man am I glad I did!! Amy was FANTASTIC! I went th...
rough 4 different catering managers with my venue and it was kind of crazy but I never had to worry about it because Amy just had everything handled. She is a true pro. She is great to work with and is exactly the kind of lady you need supporting you on your wedding day. I love that she was down to business but was also really funny and easy to be around. From coordinating the rehearsal and working with my vendors to wrangling the groomsman and sending me awesome follow-up information (like a step-by-step guide on how to go about changing my name) she was organized, professional and just plain nice. You can tell that she has a passion for her work and is dedicated to making your wedding absolutely perfect!
Amy and Lindsay from First Comes Love were fantastic! I'm a super organized person so I debated whether I needed a wedding planner. I'm so happy I booked First Comes Love! They o...
ffered great suggestions and direction and made the day extra special. My hair stylist had a family emergency and had to cancel the Monday before my wedding and Amy had a new hair stylist booked within an hour - and she was absolutely amazing.

re an ideal resource throughout the year of planning.. 5 huge stars!
Thank you Amy and Allie for such an amazing wedding. I interviewed many planners , having worked in event planning before, and being very specific about how I wanted the day to go,...
I knew exactly what I was looking for from a company, and both of them went above and beyond. Seriously, my wedding was perfect. Everyone kept telling me be prepared for one thing to go wrong, because something always does, but I was definitely a lucky one ( with a great company) because nothing went wrong. In the process of planning, I emailed Amy about 1000 times. She was always quick to respond and understood my vision. ( I legit made a list of every decor piece and where I wanted it with drawings for them, yes I was that bride!) On the wedding day Allie was there every step of the way and made sure everything was taken care of for me, the groom and all guest. She never stopped, and made sure everything was perfectly planned. The wedding ran late as well and she stayed after hours to make sure all was packed up and taken care of. Every guest kept telling us, and still do, how magical this day was. ( and there was a lot that could have gone wrong, since this was the first time parents were meeting in 12 years) I would hire them both again and recommend them to anyone! Thank yall both so much for the perfect day ( we waited 12 years for this) and we truly could not have been more thrilled with the outcome of this day.
Amy was by far the best money we spent on our wedding. I felt her cost for day-of coordination was the best Iād had seen in all of my research. She was very thorough with our initi...
al conversation, asked the right questions, and was sure to understand exactly what my vision and feel for our wedding would be. We booked Amyās services about 7 months out from our wedding, and she was available to answer any questions and help with vendor recommendations the entire time. At about 6-7 weeks out from our wedding, Amy sent us a detailed questionnaire to understand what had been done, what needed to be done, and ultimately helped us to realize what still needed to be done. She was so thorough with the timeline she created for the wedding day, always communicated everything with us, and took away all of the stress of coordinating with our 15+ different vendors. I really have no idea what we wouldāve done without her. She is very understanding, patient, assertive, and has a no-bullsh*t attitude that ensures you donāt have to deal with any stress or little issue at all. Money well spent. Thank you Amy for all of you help!! Itās a shame you donāt plan (usually) more than one wedding, because I would without hesitation want to work with Amy again!
Amy was a freaking superstar!!! We loved how professional she was when we first met her, and that never let up. I never felt any stress in terms of any of the logistics leading up ...
to the wedding, and she did her best to be available over text, email, and phone whenever I did want to talk to her. The day of the wedding, almost everything ran smoothly because of her. The things that were a little "off" (e.g. the hotel lost our cake after the wedding, the DJ messed up the order of speeches), weren't her fault at all. She even handled some of the family drama, which I can't thank her enough for. She's worth the investment 100%.
Working with Lindsay at FCL was great! Everything on the wedding day went off seamlessly. She was well organized and kept the night running smoothly, always checking in on my hus...
band and I making sure we were ok and had everything we needed. All items were delivered down to my momās room at the end of the night without any thoughts from us. The best part was when we stepped in the elevator at the end of the night to go back to room and both looked at each other realizing we did not have a key, bang Lindsay was there again with exactly what we needed! Thanks Lindsay and FCL for making our day amazing!
Amy and her team were AMAZING! She was so organized and everything on the day of went perfectly! No matter what came up Amy handled it quickly and professionally. On the day of m...

You will want to work with Amy! We just had our reception in La Jolla, and we could not have asked for more! Planning our reception from the east coast was a daunting task, and t...
hough I had done a lot of the leg work before meeting Amy, she was invaluable to us in every way. Whether it was sending us photos of linens options, giving us her opinion based on our vision for the day or helping to figure out the logistics of running a slideshow, Amy guided us through every step of the planning process.
She is extremely organized and thinks of details that would have slipped my mind! She communicated with all of our vendors to make sure everyone was on the same page and that our day literally ran like a well-choreographed dance.
On the day of our reception, Amy was working behind the scenes to ensure we were focusing on enjoying the day rather than worrying about the logistics of who, what, when, where... Amy instills a level of confidence that makes planning a wedding less daunting, and even enjoyable! She is professional, organized, easy to communicate with and a pleasure in person.
We can't recommend her enough!
After my wife and I got engaged in spring 2017, we had an idea of the date of when we wanted to get married but that was pretty much it. As we were on our own, we knew we needed h...
elp with all aspects of wedding planning. Soon afterwards, we found Amy and First Comes Love (FCL).
Although we thoroughly examined the FCL website and read multiple reviews, we didn't really know exactly what to expect with our own wedding. Amy quickly arranged an in-person meeting with us, and we felt so much better with her on board. She was meticulously organized down to every detail we could think of and plenty more that would have never crossed our minds. She was in constant contact with all of our vendors and with us by phone and email. Above all, she was astoundingly accessible, even when she was really sick. With each passing week as our wedding got closer, we were less and less stressed because Amy took care of us like we were her own family. She made us feel like the most important couple in the world.
When the day of the wedding arrived, we were in awe of absolutely everything. Amy had helped us to put on a wedding that was truly above and beyond even our wildest dreams. She is THE best wedding coordinator ever!! We highly recommend her services without any hesitation!!!!
One of the best decisions we made in our wedding process was hiring Amy for full service planning. We had a very particular vision. We wanted someone to help us every step of the w...
ay and we could not have done it without Amy.
We achieved our beautiful wedding with Amy helping us stick to our budget and timeline along the way. It was critical for us to have a planner who knew our venue inside and out. In fact, she even got married at the same venue!
Initially we thought things would be a bit tough from a scheduling standpoint as we were getting married in San Diego but living in Los Angeles. Amy did an amazing job lining up vendor meetings when we would be in town and helping us conduct remote meetings when they made sense.
Amy is a true consultant and recommended excellent vendors. Her advice was critical as we navigated the difficult process of achieving our vision, while staying within budget.She also helped in contract negotiation with the vendors as well.
Our biggest concern as we got closer to the day of the wedding was the weather, as our wedding day was the only day with rain in the forecast. Amy had a plan B ready to go and she was able to work around the rain and move forward with a beautiful outdoor ceremony. She executed flawlessly, without us having to even think about it.
Hands down one of the easiest recommendations I can make is having Amy as your planner. She is one of the best in the business.
Amy was wonderful. Every time there was a "challenge" that came up, Amy had a solution that was acceptable. She was never flustered and had an incredible amount of patience. She de...
finitely knows her wedding planning stuff and I would highly recommend her, especially if you need someone to calm things down!
So before we were even ENGAGED, I had done a crazy amount of research on Wedding Planners/Coordinators in San Diego. We interviewed two and Amy was our number one pick! She was the...
re for us from day 1 and she made our November 2017 wedding the best day we ever could have imagined! She was FANTASTIC! She answered any questions (even the crazy ones) we had, responded via email and phone calls right away, gave excellent vendor referrals and so much more. We could NOT have done this without her. We were able to enjoy our day fully with her help. I truly don't know how people do it without this help. Especially rehearsal, she was ON TOP OF IT. Our families loved her too. I really could go on and on about how amazing she is, but most importantly, hands down, she was everything we were looking for in a wedding coordinator and made our day possible without the slightest hitch (that we know about always:):)
From the Mother-of-the-Bride, I can honestly say that having Amy help us was the BEST decision we made! From negotiating our contract at the venue to helping us find the best vend...
ors, Amy was a wonder. Her contacts are widespread and her reputation well-deserved. Our wedding was flawless in the timing the day-of the event, and her calm demeanor and super organization made it incredibly easy for us... Oh, and she does up a mean bustle!! Hiring First Comes Love was the FIRST and best decision we made....Thank you Amy!
Lindsay with First Comes Love knocked our day out of the park. We hired her for partial planning services and she was a dream. We initially chose to work with her because she share...
d with us her background in wedding florals, wedding photography, and design. We talked her through our vision and she was able to guide us to a venue and vendors that were a perfect match to execute our vision. On the day she and her team did a fantastic job of setting up decor (I had A LOT), keeping us on schedule, and most importantly letting my husband and I relax and enjoy our day.
I highly recommend Lindsay as well as all of the First Comes Love team.
