Golden Coast Event Planning

Josh SAVED our wedding!! We hired GCP for month-of planning and Josh was incredible! Far before the month of our wedding, he was giving us feedback and tips when we were booking vendors and guiding us in the right direction which was invaluable as we are from Southern California and were planning our wedding in Big Sur. Planning went so smoothly with Josh’s support and we were so excited for our April wedding in Big Sur - until over Easter weekend there was the slip out on Highway 1 going into Big Sur.. We had a meeting with Josh intending to “finalize” all our wedding plans and instead were discussing whether or not the highway would be open to allow us to access our venue. Josh immediately had several backup venue options for us that were beautiful and in the area and he was able to have his contacts hold the date for us until we decided what to do. He was in contact with CalTrans to get the most up to date info on when the road would open up and what that would look like. We were hoping the road would open up and it was not confirmed until about one week before our wedding that the road would not open until May. The week before our wedding there were nights Josh was up after midnight with us replanning our wedding at a different venue. Everyone in my life could not believe how calm my fiancé and I were with the situation, and it truly was because Josh immediately sprung into action figuring out how we could accomplish this. He did all of the heavy lifting and presented our options to us so we could figure out how to make everything work. Our wedding was the best day of our lives and the venue was probably even more amazing than our original! All our guests did not stop talking about how it was the most gorgeous wedding they had been to and how it was insane this was our “second choice” venue. Josh brought fun vibes and made the day stress free, bringing us drinks, and made sure everything went smoothly! What could have been a terrible nightmare (which sadly was for other April brides planning for Big Sur weddings that had to be cancelled) was truly the best and most fun weekend and we are so so so so happy and thankful to Josh and his team who made this happen!!

When my husband and I realized we had only six months to plan our dream garden wedding in another state, we knew we needed a reputable wedding planner. After scouring the Internet, reading reviews, and gathering quotes from planners in the area, we found Josh at Golden Coast Event Planning. From our first conversation, we knew he was the one. Josh and his team not only met our expectations but exceeded them in every possible way, transforming our dream wedding into a fairy tale. They also executed a gorgeous rehearsal dinner and a farewell brunch for our guests. We couldn't be more grateful for their dedication, creativity, and unwavering support. From the very beginning, Josh took the time to get to know us as a couple, helped us develop our vision, and executed every detail flawlessly. He and his team were always available via text, phone call, or Zoom, walking us through every step, providing solutions to every problem, and answering all our questions. Josh’s creativity and incredible ideas made the planning process a delight. No request was too big or too small. We were impressed by his extensive network and his positive reputation in the community. Every vendor we worked with sang his praises, and Josh often called in favors to make something special happen. As someone unfamiliar with wedding details like table settings, timelines, and venues, I found Josh’s guidance invaluable. Not being in town posed a challenge since we couldn’t see anything in person, but Josh made it work. He visited venues, Zoomed with us live, took photos, and created maps. When we had only four days in town two months before the wedding, Josh made himself available to walk us through everything. He took us to choose furniture and linens, arranged food tastings with the chef, and guided us through the various venues and our vision for the day. His reassurance and innovative ideas made the planning process smooth and enjoyable. On the weekend of our wedding, Golden Coast Event Planning delivered beyond our wildest dreams. We were able to be fully present and soak up the day without worrying about a single detail. From the rehearsal dinner to the farewell brunch, every event was flawless, thanks to Josh and his team. Our guests are still raving about how it was one of the best weddings they’ve ever attended. Golden Coast Event Planning is, without a doubt, the best in the business. I will forever be grateful to Josh and his team for delivering the most magical day of my life.

My husband and I had the absolute pleasure of working with Josh for our wedding, and I can confidently say that he exceeded all of our expectations. From our first meeting to the final moments of the reception, Josh demonstrated unparalleled professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail. Planning a wedding can be incredibly stressful, but Josh’s calm and collected demeanor made the entire process carefree and rather enjoyable. Josh took the time to understand our vision and turned it into a reality, incorporating unique and personal touches that truly reflected our personalities and love story. His expertise and industry connections ensured that we had the best vendors, venues, and services within our budget. On the day of the wedding, Josh and his team were a calming presence, orchestrating every detail with precision. Everything flowed perfectly, and I was able to fully enjoy our special day without any worries. Our guests were also impressed by the beautiful decor, smooth timeline, and overall ambiance of the event. We are incredibly grateful for josh’s hard work and dedication. He went above and beyond to make our wedding day the best day of our lives. I highly recommend Josh to any couple looking for a top-notch wedding planner who will make their dream wedding a reality. Thank you again, Josh, for everything!

If you are planning a wedding anywhere in California, you MUST work with Golden Coast Planning! It was a true joy and pleasure to plan together with Josh and benefit from his wealth of knowledge of the wedding industry, vendors, and the Big Sur area. Josh and the Golden Coast Team were fabulous partners in bringing our dream wedding to life in Big Sur. We worked very closely with Josh for 16 months leading up to our 25 person wedding at the Wind and Sea Estate in September of 2023, and he was such an amazing partner in crime who made all of our wishes come true! Aside from being an all around amazing human being who is fun to work with, Josh is very well connected with so many local vendors in the Monterey/Carmel/Big Sur area where we had our wedding, and he has an extensive wealth of knowledge and experience in the wedding industry. He was able to curate a stunning group of vendors who were familiar with our venue and who would be able to bring our vision to life exactly the way we had hoped at that specific location. Josh was with us every step of the way, from selecting a venue over a year in advance, managing contracts and timelines, helping pick up rentals, and even being there on the day of the wedding himself to make sure our day went off without a hitch. He was such a great mentor and sound board throughout the entire process with every little decision we had to make, always guiding us in the right direction. Planning a wedding is a once in a lifetime event, so we definitely needed Josh’s guidance! In addition, having the Golden Coast Team provide day of coordination services to run our welcome party and wedding day was the best decision we ever made. We did not have to think about anything and were truly able to enjoy the moment and watch all of our planning come to life flawlessly. The team was very organized, timely, thoughtful and creative. We felt like celebrities as they were running the show and always making sure we had everything we needed and were in the right places at the right times. Thank you again for the most perfect wedding week and a new found friendship!

My wife and I worked with Golden Coast Planning for month of planning and day of coordination for our ~25 person wedding in Aug of 2023 at Sparrow Valley Retreat. Josh Villegas and his team were consistently excellent - he in particular was kind, patient, and highly responsive, doing everything he could to reassure us through the ups and downs of the wedding planning process. His experience and guidance made what at first looked like a daunting process feel very manageable. Even herniating a disk in his back 2 weeks before our special day couldn't keep him down - he was at our wedding calmly coordinating everything and made sure to even bring in extra hands to make sure our wedding day went without a hitch. We had an absolutely magical wedding day and will always appreciate how professional, kind, and accommodating Josh and his team (Ernesto, Jessica, Angelina) were. Thank you Golden Coast Planning! You guys rock!

Hiring Josh and his team was absolutely the BEST decision we made for our wedding. He was responsive, friendly, accommodating, and organized. I truly wasn’t stressed one bit the day of the wedding because Josh assured us he had everything taken care of. We ended up having a terrible sandstorm for our ceremony, but the team made it work without a hiccup. We also had someone bail on picking up our wedding cake (which was an hour away) and Josh’s team picked it up for us! As soon as we got home that night, we both agreed there was no way we could thank Josh enough for how amazing he made our day. We were so thankful to have them there and would hire them again in a heartbeat.

Josh and his team are amazing and such a pleasure to work with! They truly spared no effort to make sure that the day of our wedding went smoothly without us having to worry about a thing! Truly grateful for them!

Wow, where do I even start. First off, Josh is the hardest working, most genuine person and working with him was so fun. I couldn't have pulled off my dream wedding without his guidance and support along the way. He is also backed by the most helpful, gracious team who made my vision come to life day of. I didn't have to worry about a thing but enjoying my day! That alone meant so much. You NEED this team and their expertise if you're getting married in the Carmel/Monterey area!

Josh and the team at Golden Coast Planning made our Big Sur wedding flawless. Josh made planning our wedding from a distance easy and fun. It was amazing to see all the different elements come together after months of dreaming. Golden Coast Planning knows the area well, understands the venue, and has connections to some of the very best vendors! My wedding day surpassed my vision, and my guests said it was the best wedding they've ever attended. Thanks so much for making it an event to remember, we are extremely gratful.

Josh and his team were 100% integral in making our wedding go off without a hitch. We hired them about 6 months out from our wedding day, and they jumped in seamlessly to help us get to the finish line. They were our partners every step along the way - from calls to discuss logistics and make sure we were thinking about everything, to setting up our layout, and even spending hours at our venue measuring to make sure we could fit everything in the way we envisioned. We went into our wedding day feeling totally confident leaving the day in their trusted hands, and it was beyond anything we could imagine because of them. They truly did it all - getting last minute space heaters when it was colder than expected, picking up my dress train so it didn't get dirty, pivoting on-the-spot wherever needed to ensure everything went off without a hitch, all while staying true to our vision for the day. While most of their work happened behind-the-scenes, our families (who got to meet Josh at our rehearsal and saw him and his team at work on our wedding day) commented on how great the team was - communicative, calm, and on top of it. We can't say enough great things about the Golden Coast team!

Josh and the team at Golden Coast Event Planning were everything you could want from a wedding planning team. They were friendly, responsive, organized, affordable, and really went above and beyond to make our day special. Their wedding planning platform made it easy to coordinate with them and stay on track with vendors, budget, and scheduling. On the day, they were great about keeping everything running smoothly while also creating a fun and welcoming atmosphere. I didn't have to think about a thing on my wedding day! Josh really knows the area and gave us great recommendations of local vendors to hire -- helping us find high quality service that fit our budget. Whenever people ask our #1 takeaway from wedding planning, I tell them that hiring Golden Coast Event Planning was the best decision we ever made!

Josh and his team did an amazing job helping us plan our wedding! They were invaluable to us during the height of COVID. He event got our money back when our initial venue permanently closed due to COVID, and this was no small feat considering how difficult it was to get in touch with that particular venue. We live in North Carolina and Golden Coast Planning made it possible for us to have the perfect wedding! It felt like we had our own feet on the ground in California ourselves doing the planning. The day of the wedding everything went smoothly, and Josh and his staff helped tremendously to coordinate the day. Josh and his team are all great people and have a special place in our hearts! We are so thankful we hired them as our wedding planner!

My fiancee and I have been working with Jackie Stiphout planning our wedding and I cannot sing her praises enough. She is simply a joy to work with and incredibly helpful. She has vast amounts of expertise in all things wedding event related and is incredibly creative, helping us make something truly genuine and unique for our day. She has thorough insights and amazing vendor recommendations (to fit all sorts of budgets). She's also highly organized, super supportive with consistent communication and a sweet personality to boot! I feel like I'm getting to plan our special day with my best friend. Simply can't thank her enough for all the incredible support she's given us to create an unforgettable experience for our wedding.

Golden Coast Event Planning helped us through this challenging time of planning my daughter's wedding during a pandemic. We started working with Josh in 2019. He was very pleasant, easy to work with, and helped organize everything so that we had a clear idea of all the necessary steps and timeline. He also greatly helped us pivot through two postponements. Due to the postponement and new date, we ended up working with Adilene(Addy) during the last month. She was efficient, thorough, patient, and a truly nice person. She helped us so much in bringing everything together in the last few days before the wedding. She handled the last minute details with perfection to help create a truly magical day for my daughter and son-in-law. On the day of the wedding, she was amazing and attended to our every need with grace and calm. You will have a seamless wedding with Addy by your side. We are so very grateful.

We had the pleasure of working with Josh and Golden Coast Planning throughout most of 2020 and 2021. As you can imagine, it was a pretty crazy time to be planning a wedding. Despite what was happening in the world around us, Josh managed to keep us on track and guide us through this chaotic time. Set aside the pandemic, wedding planning is very hard, and what I appreciated most about Josh was he was not only good at managing all of the different vendors, contracts, and timelines of all the various tasks we needed to complete, but he also knew how to manage us and set expectations with regular check-ins to see how we were pacing. One thing you want in a wedding planner is someone who knows the industry really well, which Josh does. Any contract we received Josh knew how what to look for and what to ask about. For any vendors we were researching he told us why we should consider one over the other. These are the types of things I wouldn't know how to approach, but Josh was just a great partner throughout all of it. Finally, and probably most importantly, Josh is just a positive, calm guy. When things weren't going our way or we were stressed about certain things, Josh just kept a cool head and would reassure us that everything was going to be fine. And it was. In the end, our wedding was incredible. Everything went super smoothly and all of our vendors were top-notch (many of whom Josh recommended to us). If you're looking for a wedding planner that will keep you on track, tell you all the non-obvious insider info you need to know when making decisions, and otherwise just keeping you calm during a very stressful time in your life, go with Josh and Golden Coast Planning.

Josh and team 🙌🏼. This is the group you want to work with. Josh went above and beyond to make sure everything ran soo smoothly. He dealt with a lot of BS on the day of, but I truly had no idea. He kept us laughing, smiling and well fed the entire night while running the show. He brings such a great vibe and chill attitude while getting it done!

Josh and their team truly are the best! They really are the dream team and we couldn’t be happier. They helped our magical weekend wedding dreams come true. They were always patient, responsive, and so hard working. I am a professional event planner and absolutely reccomend them without hesitation! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Golden Coast Planning, the heroes that helped make our wedding a dream come true in the middle of a pandemic. We first hired Golden Coast Planning back in 2019 for our wedding in 2020. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, Josh and his team quickly mobilized to help us postpone the wedding to 2021. They worked closely with our vendors and were able to keep all our original vendor list for our 1 year postponed wedding. During the chaos and uncertainty of 2020-21, Josh personally took over the planning of our wedding with continued support from his team. Together, we were able to have the wedding we had dreamed of with 100% vaccination rate. We had a multicultural wedding including a Chinese tea ceremony, Persian sofreh ceremony, and a western ceremony. On the day of the wedding, Josh and Ambrosia worked tirelessly to help make everything go seamlessly. Ambrosia was a STAR as her positive and fun energy radiate and got everyone into party mode! We can't thank Josh and his team at Golden Coast Planning enough for making our special day an awe-some (in the true sense of the word) day!

Josh and Sam were not only such a delight to work with, but made the rest of our "planning" process seem so easy!! I always found myself to be super organized and didn't realize how much I needed their help. Especially amidst a pandemic, last minute venue change, etc. what was turning into a nightmare ended up being a dream come true thanks to Josh and Sam for the most amazing support to get us through THE most special day :))) I could not recommend them more!!

We absolutely recommend GCP for your wedding! Like many couples, we were hit with some hard decisions with wedding planning once COVID hit. GCP worked tirelessly with us to make our dream come true in a safe and fun way. Every step of the way they were there to hold our hands! And on our wedding day, we felt so reassured and supported. Even when out of sight, they were working behind the scenes to make the day run smoothly. They made our dream a reality and constantly reassured us when nerves were high by being flexible, realistic, and easy to get ahold of at any time. Our plan started months ahead of time with phone calls, video chats, and they even made it all the way out to our venue for a tour with us months ahead of time. These guys will make you wedding day the BEST DAY EVER! Thank you so much Samantha and Josh!

As a professional wedding makeup artist who works with many vendors and as a future bride to be, I can vouch that Josh at golden coast is absolutely wonderful! I can't say enough about how great my experience was working with his company to plan my big day. We have been planning our destination wedding since last June and then of course covid hit before my original wedding date. Josh helped me to stay calm and weather the storm. He is a kind soul with an eagerness to please. You should definitely hire golden coast planning for your big day!

Golden Coast Planning was essential for making sure that we got different wedding details set on time, suggesting and coordinating with vendors, and making sure the day of went perfectly! Josh and his team (shout outs to Adilene and Ambrosia!) were incredibly friendly and chill. We simultaneously felt that nothing was forgotten and that nothing was rushed. They were so thorough and took so much work off our hands. For example, after we discussed some themes/inspiration photos early in the planning process, we didn't even have to remember/think about what our decor looked like until we arrived at the wedding (to find that it was exactly what we wanted)!

We began planning our wedding in April 2019 from Okinawa, Japan. Josh was so accommodating with the time difference and ensured we met/spoke regularly to plan our big day. Once we arrived in the area Josh and his team helped us choose a venue that matched our vision and was within our budget. As we weighed the options of cancelling or postponing due to COVID, Josh and his team provided us with sound guidance and support. We ultimately decided to downsize our wedding a month out, in the short time Josh rearranged current and new contracts for the event. His staff the day of (Ambrosia & Addy) was exceptional, they were extremely personable and accommodating towards us and all our family/friends. Thanks to Golden Coast our wedding day exceeded all my expectations, they significantly reduced the stress associated with wedding planning and allowed us to focus on the truly important things!

Throughout our entire wedding planning process, Josh was attentive, responsive, and super flexible because our work schedules varied. Destination weddings are difficult enough to plan but Josh and his team took everything and ran with it, making sure we were not stressed in the process. Come wedding day, Josh and Kim took care of EVERYTHING! Bringing them to Costa Rica with us was the best decision and would recommend them to any and everyone. We are so thankful to have gained friends through this!

Hannah = the BEST wedding investment I made About 6 months out from my wedding, I had an epiphany and realized I needed to hire a day-of coordinator. I had done the "heavy lifting" of wedding planning already - all vendors were hired, budget was set, colors and vision were decided - but I realized I needed someone who could execute all of it for me on the wedding day when I would be otherwise occupied primping and marrying my man! (Specifically, my then-fiance and I had a conversation where I literally said, "BUT WAIT WHO WILL SET UP THE GUEST BOOK TABLE??? I HAVE TO GET MY HAIR DONE AT THAT TIME! I CAN'T BE TWO PLACES AT ONCE!!!" - and it was settled, we had to have a coordinator!!!) I feel so lucky that I was able to find Golden Coast and specifically, that I got to work with Hannah. After our first consultation call, she made a Google folder for us where we could store all important docs and info to share with her. Even though she was a "day-of / month-of" coordinator, Hannah was in contact with us for the 4-5 months leading up to our big day! We checked in about once a month (but she was always available for more if I needed her, and she was SUPER quick to reply to emails with quick questions) and she was so awesome to make sure we were sticking to our schedule and on track for the perfect day. She even gave me creative ideas along the way (like having a wand for my flower girl instead of petals, since venue didn't allow tossing anything). She confirmed all our vendors for us the month before the wedding, helped set up a detailed timeline (with sooo many revisions, I'm sorry Hannah haha) and was just all around a rockstar. Once the actual weekend rolled around, Hannah was incredible. She took care of EVERYTHING for me. I mean everything. No one knew how to put in my veil - Hannah did it. She set up all my decor and executed my vision even better than I'd imagined. She took all the gifts and cards up to our hotel room while we were dancing the night away so we wouldn't have to worry about it. She set up our glow stick exit and made sure guests didn't dive into our dessert table before it was time ;) And so much more. Most importantly, she kept me and my groom calm - we were able to relax and truly enjoy our wedding weekend knowing that Hannah would take care of us. I consider Hannah a friend now - and to say that about a wedding vendor is a pretty amazing thing! I can honestly not imagine my wedding without her. For any brides out there considering hiring Golden Coast, JUST DO IT. I didn't have a coordinator in my original budget because I thought I could "do it all myself" but Hannah was hands down the best investment I made for my peace of mind throughout the planning process and especially on the wedding weekend. Ok, I'm done now - sorry that was so long but if any brides out there are like me and you really want to work with sweet, patient vendors who truly care about YOU as a person, then Hannah is your girl. I love her forever now and I think everyone deserves to work with her for their Central Coast wedding!

My husband and I celebrated our wedding two weeks ago at Carmel Valley Ranch. I have interviewed at least 15 wedding coordinators or planners and I finally picked Golden Coast. Samantha (sammy) was my coordinator. Working with Samantha was such an amazing experience. Our wedding had a lot of moving parts and was placed in three different locations at the Ranch. Samantha was so so helpful, responsible, warm and reassuring. She was accessible all throughout the day, multi functioning a few things at a time. Full of energy with great attitude. I was so lucky to have her at my wedding day. I can’t recommend her enough. One more thing...she is trustworthy with whatever you need her and she has her whole attention to both details and the big picture. She managed your wedding day flow Flawlessly. I had lots of fun on my wedding day and thinking about it makes me smile big and Samantha has a big role in it.

There is not enough good that I can say about Josh and his team- Hannah, Angela and Vanessa. I had big ideas with little vision planning from out of state and these guys went above and beyond to make all my dreams come true. The location was a dream, they were able to find me vegan food, and made the entire process absolutely stress-free. When I say I couldn’t have done it without them, I 100% mean it. I can’t thank them enough and couldn’t recommend them any higher.

I loved working with Golden Coast Event planning for my wedding on June 22nd, 2019, especially with my day-of coordinator Hannah B! She was helpful prior to the wedding to help us condense and organize all our documents, and was particularly wonderful on our actual wedding day. She was on top of everything and was very reliable! On the actual day there's so many moving parts that sometimes you don't have time to explain where certain things need to be placed etc. so we basically only had time to hand Hannah a couple boxes of items, and she took care of everything beautifully! Everything was in its place, where it was supposed to be. She was responsive and checked in on everyone frequently and was the point of contact for our vendors, which took a lot of pressure off of myself as the bride and my parents. Overall she gave me a lot of confidence, support, and was trustworthy on the most important day of my life! My husband and I were so happy to work with her and the Golden Coast team and would highly recommend them!!

Hiring Golden Coast was the best decision we could've made for our wedding this Spring. Josh was incredibly supportive, kind, detailed, and wonderful to work with! He seamlessly handled our vendors and event flow with such experience and finesse. Our family and guests were so appreciative for his help, as are we! Because of him we were able to enjoy the weekend without worrying about a single detail. He is truly a pro! Thank you so much, Josh!

Golden Coast Planning helped us plan the absolute best wedding day I could’ve asked for. Jose will help you with any and everything you could ask for. If you’re on the fence about whether a planner is important, trust me it is. Trust GC with your day and you will not be disappointed! He even helped us score the getaway car of our dreams!

Golden Coast Event Plannning was professional, kind, extremely helpful, respectful, and prepared. We are so thrilled that we hired Golden Coast for our backyard wedding. They were wonderful from day one. They’re presence was constant but never intrusive. They directed things beautifully and everything went off without a hitch. Thank you Vanessa and Clarissa for helping our special day be so special. We are incredibly grateful.

I just want to THANK YOU for your services you went above and beyond to help me in every way possible. I'm EXTREMELY thankful. Kim was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! I love her! She made sure everything was running smoothly and kept us all running lol on time. She is a team player since that night she worked extremely well with all the other vendors on site. I'm so glad you brought her on board she is PERFECT! for your business. I can't THANK YOU BOTH Enough. I'm so glad I ended up working with Kim she went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect and I was satisfied! She is EXTREMELY polite, and the sweetest person ever! I look forward on working with you guys again in the near future. Blessings Thank you

Sammy was amazing as my day of coordinator she really clicked in to my needs and was very chill which created a calm fun atmosphere which helped make my wedding the best day ever.

I am beyond glad that I had Samantha as my day off coordinator on my wedding day. She was so easy to work with from the begining to the end made sure that everything went smoothly on my wedding day. She is super organized and listens to you. She also gives you suggestion and feedback. She takes care of bride and groom like royalty and would also help the guests in every way possible. She did not mind me changing a few things here and there and accomodated us to the best of her power. I totally recommend her for your wedding planning and coordinating. She is one the best vendors that you will not regert having on your big day. Thanks again Sammy for all you did :)

Jasmine was amazing! I had no worries on my special day. She took care of absolutely everything! Jasmine was extremely communicative and helpful. This lady is on it!

Josh & his team we’re great. They made our special day run nice & smooth, we couldn’t be any happier with their services.

Golden Coast was the coordinating company we could've asked for. They were attentive, punctual and very caring to us. We appreciate all of your help. I truly believe our day would not have gone as smooth without Jasmine and Vanessa's help.

As our wedding coordinator, Jasmine and Vanessa was amazing! They were really professional yet flexible and friendly throughout the whole process. Planning was so easy with their help!! Could not have asked for a better team. Thank you, ladies!

My new wife and I are so happy to have booked a same day wedding coordinator from Golden Coast Event Planning!! Everything went smoothly on my wedding day thanks to Jasmine and Vanessa. After speaking with Josh in the beginning, we knew that we wanted to work with down to earth and honest people. We thought that our Mill Valley wedding would be too far for them but they made it work. This company was consistent from start to finish (most wedding vendors sort of go radio silent when you’re in the thick of wedding season here which is August/September BUT...Josh and Jasmine were on top of it!) Jasmine met with us a few times and had been in constant communication via phone and e-mail and managed to keep ALL our wedding vendors on the same page. I planned my entire wedding (which was stressful!) and knew at some point I would have to trust someone to carry out my vision on the day of. Jasmine and Vanessa took care of EVERY single second and EVERY little detail on the day of my wedding. I was so impressed with how everything turned out the day of! It was more than I envisioned. Thank you for taking care of us! You guys are incredible! Most brides often think they don’t need a day of coordinator or they can hire a family member or friend to do this job. Trust me, YOU NEED ONE! You want someone experienced to handle one of the most important days of your lives!! So worth it!! :)

They did our catering for our rehearsal &wedding day. I have nothing negative to say about them. They were amazing and the food was delicious!! I wish I could've eaten it for a week. I'm so happy I chose them to do our catering.

I was so opposed to a wedding coordinator, believing I could do it. But I was finally convinced to get one so that we could all enjoy the wedding day. I contacted Josh about a month before the wedding to request a day-off coordinator. He was incredibly attentive. I was lucky to be assigned Jasmine as my coordinator. When we finally met (I was planning the wedding from 450 miles away), she was very warm, calm, and organized. She managed to balance keeping me informed of any little hiccup, while preventing me from being overwhelmed as she laid out the contingency plans. Jasmine was very responsive whenever I had a question, and I never hesitated to reach out to her. Also, Jasmine speaks Spanish, which was important for many of the guests. On the day of the wedding, everything went soooo smoothly--I was able to sit back and let everything unfold.

Josh and Sammy created a wonderful day for our Silver Anniversary Wedding. They went above and beyond with all the details and all of their suggestions and trouble shooting on last minute issues that popped up made our day go smoothly. My husband and I we're able to relax and leave all the details to them on the day before and day of the event. They made on the spot decisions to ensure we were not bothered by anything other than enjoying all of our friends and family on the day of the wedding. Their professionalism and experience made our wedding day go off without a hitch. We would highly recommend hiring them for any event. They coordinated every detail from catering and rentals as well as working with the venue owner to make sure every detail was covered.

My experience with Golden Coast Event Planning had me speechless. The team was beyond amazing and met my needs from the start. With one initial meeting, they were able to give me the vision that I wanted. They took care of EVERYTHING, from the beginning of the wedding process to the end of my wedding day. Josh made sure that I had each vendor that I wanted for my wedding day and he also made sure that I didn't do anything. He even checked into the hotel for me! Samantha stood by my side on the day of the wedding and she also made sure I wasn't bothered. She took care of my guests and my most important events throughout the night. I couldn't have asked for a better team to help put my wedding together.

They are amazing. Josh kept me calm during the craziest times of planning my wedding. Sammy did a beautiful job with seeing my vision and bringing it to life. The best investment I have made ever.
