Happily Ever After

il 2022 due to COVID logistical delays. She asked all the right questions to the vendors and had everything perfectly prepared for our special day. The end result was everything I had hoped for and it was a stunning wedding, thanks to Cindy, the best wedding coordinator! I would highly recommend her services to anyone!

ive in relieving our stress. We even encountered unexpected challenges and they were always there to go the extra mile for us. At the same time, we had fun and they are so down to earth. It’s like having an extra set of maid of honors and they were very much part of our wedding team. They listened to us and helped make our wedding vision a reality. There are not enough words to describe how wonderful working with Cindy and Ji are. They made us feel like family and genuinely had our best interest at heart. We highly recommend!

yone else to help me with the biggest day of my life. From our initial meeting, I knew her services were exactly what I needed. Included in her mighty package was her partner, Ji. She does the beautiful signage, invitations, and helps with all logistics. I knew I was in good hands. I don't know what I would have done without Cindy's support. I was overwhelmed with planning, costs, details, and things I didn't even know I had to do. She took care of everything. I picked out the vendors, the materials, flowers, settings, etc. and Cindy handled all the measurements, contracts, and working with the vendors. She was amazing! I didn't have to worry about all the fine print that I normally would have looked over and signed. I can't say enough how grateful my husband, my wedding party and I are to have worked with her. She has an eye and her vision was beautiful. She helped capture my dream wedding was there from day 1, not just the day of the wedding, but she rode that entire planning wave with me. I've heard many horror stories with wedding planners that will only do "day of" planning and will charge double what I did and not even get 1/4 of what Cindy and Ji have done for me. Cindy and Ji will help organize everything. They have spreadsheets, working docs, timelines, and a binder that has everything you need to work with them simultaneously to not miss any details from the moment you begin the planning process. I was definitely in good hands and had nothing to worry about. I'm so grateful for her and the amazing work put into my beautiful wedding.

ridesmaid at my girlfriend’s wedding a few years ago, and I was thoroughly impressed with how attentive, organized, and detail oriented she was. I immediately asked for her contact info as I knew I wanted to hire her when it was my turn to get married. I contacted her as soon as I picked my wedding date. We met earlier this year, pre-COVID, and had a great in-person meeting to discuss logistics. Then COVID happened. Due to COVID, we had to move our reception party to next year, but we still wanted to have an intimate church ceremony. Cindy continually checked in with us and ensured we were on the right track with everything we needed to have for our ceremony. Having to plan a wedding during COVID was the most stressful thing I endured this year, but Cindy helped ease a lot of my fears and kept me in check. My husband and I are looking forward to working with her again next year for our wedding reception (hoping it will be safe by then to have a larger reception). I highly recommend Cindy for all of your wedding planning needs! She’s a wonderful person and amazing at what she does! **UPDATED Review**: Cindy is a wedding planner extraordinaire! She helped me and my husband with TWO of our events: our church ceremony in 2020 and our vow renewal/reception in 2021 (the latter postponed due to Covid). Planning a wedding in the middle of a pandemic was very stressful, but she kept us grounded throughout this unprecedented process. I'm very thankful that she extended her services with us when we chose to have our church ceremony in 2020 then again with a vow renewal ceremony followed by our reception in 2021. Cindy has an amazing level of professionalism and personalism. She always respects your wishes, but because she's a wedding pro she always provides very helpful advice and insight. She always scheduled periodic check-in's with us and listened to all of my venting about the typical stressors that come with wedding planning. Cindy also introduced us to her co-planner, Ji, who is just as amazing (FYI: We also hired Ji to create our wedding signage and they all turned out beautifully! I highly recommend Ji for her signage services as well!). My husband and I had a fun but productive time during our month of meeting with Cindy and Ji. Cindy was very sweet to invite us into her home and we went through every single detail with them to ensure our event would go exactly how we wanted it to. On the day of my vow renewal/reception, I was very relaxed and did not have any worry because I knew I was able to trust Cindy and Ji with everything. I truly enjoyed myself because of their amazing teamwork. I have recommended Cindy for her planning services to anyone planning a wedding (even to those who didn't think they needed a planner because she truly is worth every penny!). Cindy is the absolute best and if I could work with her again in any party planning capacity I totally would!

needed to get done, and put our minds and hearts at ease, notwithstanding us getting a relatively late start on the planning. From the outset, we knew we were in good hands — Cindy was meticulously organized and knew the answer to every one of our questions. In the months leading up to the wedding Cindy was there for us at every step of the way — she was our first call every time we had a new idea to throw into the mix. We also had the pleasure of working with Ji, who helped us through many iterations of designing absolutely beautiful (bilingual!) invitations and signage. As our wedding date neared, we realized how lucky we were to have Cindy and Ji shepherding us through the process. There is always *something* that will go sideways on your big day. Our caterer was running late and nobody could reach them as the restaurant was not yet open. The caterer ended up arriving over an hour late, just 30 minutes before the ceremony was to begin. The guests had all arrived and were milling about in the reception hall, but the tables had not yet been set. And because the tables had not yet been set, the linens, menus, flowers, etc. all were waiting to be set up. Cindy and Ji rolled up their sleeves, dropped everything else and hustled to get everything in order and it went off without a hitch. Meanwhile, my husband and I had no idea. We were in our respective rooms, and while we could hear commotion outside, we were none the wiser. Cindy and Ji were in full crisis mode but maintained full composure and revealed nothing to us. I think that story encapsulates how Cindy and Ji approach their work — they are consummate professionals who will do everything within their power to make sure your wedding goes as smoothly as possible, and you are as happy as possible, on one of the happiest days of your life. Cindy and Ji were truly instrumental in making our wedding a success. We highly, highly recommend them!

finitely the right person. I’ve worked with many planners for family and friends weddings and parties of my own. Cindy stands out among all of them! She is VERY organized, detail oriented and has a very calming personality – all these qualities are very important when planning becomes a little stressful. She brings such a fun aspect to the planning process and let's you actually enjoy it! I had the pleasure of attending weddings where Cindy was the planner and every single one of them went smoothly and I had so much fun at them! So much so that I wanted to have an event myself just so I could work with her! And I was fortunate to work with Cindy earlier this year to plan an out of town milestone big birthday party that was very important to me. From the beginning of the planning process, she helped me narrow down what I truly wanted and envisioned for my event. When I was feeling overwhelmed, she helped me make important decisions throughout the whole process and was there for me. On the day of my event, (it was an all day event) she was there bright an early from the start, going over our timeline and everything that we had planned for the day. She really shined during the last activity we planned for the day which was the big reception dinner making sure that everything went smoothly and handled any thing that came up (and you just never know what may come up the day of, no matter how much you plan) without me even noticing it! I can’t praise Cindy enough for her patience, professionalism, warm and kind personality. I will be forever grateful and thankful to her for helping me bring the vision I had for this big event to life.

long-distance check-in calls with my husband and I (we live in Switzerland). We had a challenging wedding day with rain, location changes and set-up adjustments, but Cindy flawlessly pulled everything together. Despite the changes to our original plan, the wedding turned out to be so special, intimate, unique, stylish and most of all, fun! We can't thank her enough!

m the first meeting with Cindy, we instantly felt connected with her and it was a no brainer that we will need major help with the wedding and knew we would be well taken care of throughout the planning process until the wedding day. They made sure everything was well planned for and even made executive decisions the day of which worked out perfectly! Thank you so much Cindy and Ji for making sure Leon and I had a smooth wedding and made our dream wedding came true! For any bride and groom looking for THE BEST wedding planners/coordinators, make sure to contact Happily Ever SF! You will not be disappointed!

and on time the day of the wedding, so we could relax and enjoy the day. Cindy and Ji had the expertise to know exactly what details needed to be figured out before the wedding day, many of which my husband and I wouldn't have thought of or wouldn't have known to do without them. Cindy was also really patient with us as we tried to figure out what we wanted, and even when we changed our minds at the last minute about certain details. Also, having Ji on the team was great! She did all of the calligraphy and graphic design for our signs and menu cards, so we didn't have to scramble to figure those out last minute, and they all looked amazing! The only snafoo on the day of the wedding was that the venue forgot to provide us with the basket of flower petals for our flower girl. Ji literally ran around after the ceremony had already begun, and managed to procure a basket and a bouquet of flowers for our flower girl to use before she started down the aisle (she ripped the petals off the flowers as she walked, it was adorable). I really don't know how we would have managed everything without them.

dinator to help us execute our special day. Over the years I have heard mixed reviews about hiring someone. It can make things harder. All I can say to that is THAT'S CRAP! I can say with the utmost certainty I will never plan another wedding in my lifetime so I don't think I will need Cindy's services again, but I do know I will recommend her to those I know getting married. The amount of work Cindy and Ji put into making our day go off without a hitch is unbelievable. From our month of meeting to the day of, they never missed a beat. They took charge and I have to say there was not a moment on our wedding day that I worried about anything. When I walked down the aisle and into the reception after our ceremony I was blown away by how beautiful everything looked. Cindy, with Ji's assistance, brought our wedding vision to life and we were beyond grateful and overjoyed. Do yourself a favor and hire Cindy and her team to help make your special day a day you will remember with the biggest smile on your face forever!

n unconventional venue with a ton of vendors (no preferred / in-house team), aka a lot of items, contracts and nuances to keep track of. Cindy was so helpful in answering our never ending noob questions, and in providing guidance for any decisions we had to make. They rolled with all our last minute changes like champs - from guest list reductions (due to a fam emergency), to resulting seating chart changes, to inclement (cold) weather forecasts. Everything went wonderfully smoothly the day of - Cindy and Ji made sure everything was taken care of on the big day so that we didn’t have to stress (or even think!) about anything planning-related. Ji also provided beautiful designs for our escort cards (integrated with our wedding favors) and seating chart - which our guests loved!

ut your wedding is extremely helpful and Cindy is there every step of the way. Thank you Happily Ever After!

d referred an amazing team of vendors our way and she also came up with our wedding hashtag to fit my husband and my's shoe addiction. Cindy is very professional, organized, knowledgable and so helpful along our journey. Any idea we had, Cindy would do her best to bring it to life and give us her input as to what she thought would work best. We trusted her 100% with whatever she suggested each time. She was no doubt an honorary bridesmaid. She took are of logistics and made sure to execute every detail. Cindy and Ji are very communicative and are so great at coordinating, these traits are very important to have in your coordinators, without their direct communication, our wedding probably would have been so unorganized. Ji was the lead planner for our wedding (Cindy was an actual guest for our wedding), was so calm and collective the entire wedding and she made sure to check in with us if there was a delay in our timeline. They work so well together; they are both so funny, easy to work with, and are genuine people. It is so obvious Cindy and Ji love what they do as it shows so much in their work. If you know someone who needs a coordinator, do not hesitate to hire Cindy & Ji, you will not be disappointed! Thank you again Cindy and Ji for everything you have done for us, you are absolutely amazing!

/our photographer - hire him too!) welcomed us into their home for our very productive month of meeting with our designer, Ji. I felt we invested in more than just a "month of" with Cindy & Ji. While Ji made sure her designs were exactly how we imagined, Cindy kept us on track with our vendors, went over our contracts and answered all of our questions the moment we hired her. Then comes our big day. My wife and I were able to enjoy ourselves and spend all of our time with our family and friends instead of sharing the little time we had attending to any behind the scene needs. I am so thankful for Cindy and Ji for all the time and work they put in to making our wedding successful.

ng busy lives of their own, finding someone who knew exactly what they were doing was essential to making our wedding day dreams come true. Cindy may be small, but that didn't fool the vendors! They knew she meant business. We did her Ever After Package (planner+photographer+design), which is what we would recommend because everything was so SEAMLESS! Although we chose the most strict church and reception venue she has ever worked with, Cindy successfully handled all obstacles with ease down to the 20th draft of our floor plan and down to the aisle. Vendor contracts, floor plans, timelines, strict venue & church rules (I won't go into the details, but lets just say Cindy went beyond her duties of a wedding planner to make sure we had our dream wedding!), the list is endless. I cannot thank her enough for making our wedding day everything we imagined and more!

ng timelines and vendor meals, I decided to hire a month-of-coordinator. Once I met Cindy, I was so impressed and knew that she would be a perfect fit for our wedding! She is so organized and committed to her clients - when you hire Cindy and Ji, you really get way more than just one month of coordination. They're always just an email away, and they always responded promptly to my questions. Having the detailed spreadsheet/workbook was so helpful and really helped us stay on track during the whole process. Cindy takes care of contacting all vendors and putting the timeline together, and our wedding day was perfect! Even if there were problems, we weren't aware of them, and everything was seamless! Our photographers and my stylist called me the most chill bride ever, and I can honestly say that's because Cindy and Ji made it such a relaxing experience and I knew I didn't need to stress out! This 5-star review is also for Ji's design services. It was so nice having the design services "in-house" - it made things like creating the seating charts/escort cards completely stress-free. Ji's designs for the signs, invitations, etc. absolutely fit our style, and she even incorporated our kitties in a way that was still elegant and classy! I honestly can't recommend Cindy and Ji enough and can't imagine what the whole wedding day experience would have been like without them.

he best wedding planning decisions I could make. They were worth budgetting for as they gave us peace of mind throughout the entire wedding planning process and during our big day! Their invaluable guidance, organization, and overall support made planning for our wedding (and the whole day-of) so much easier and more relaxed than any other wedding I’ve experienced and we were able to be present and enjoy our wedding, rather than worry about details like scheduling or managing our vendors. We were able to maximize our wedding timeline as everything (including our ceremony) started on time, so there was no rushing throughout the day. In addition to scheduling and arranging our timeline, they also set up and packed all of our reception decor and details and they knew when we needed water, a break, or to pause for a photo opportunity. Their service definitely went above and beyond and extended to our bridal party, parents, and guests. Everyone kept commenting how smooth, fun, organized, and relaxed the entire day felt. I can’t imagine hosting another party (big or small) without Cindy and Ji and wish I had another wedding/reason to spend more time with them! Not only are they professional and experienced, but they’re fun to be around and really understand how to best support their couples on one of the most important days of their lives.

to work with, supportive and gave given us direct communication. She did all the vendor coordination and timeline that no bride/groom should have to stress over the day of or the days leading up. The work she does isn't always noticed, but my husband and I had so much relief and was stress free the entire day. We can't thank Cindy enough.

stand her role, I knew at that very moment that she was the one. She came off as extremely organized, detail oriented, personal and executional. All of those traits led her to becoming my honorary maid of honor and the best coordinator. She was also extremely responsive to questions I had and was always on top of next steps. She planned a month of meeting for us to go over details of the wedding and talk through outstanding items on the list. This meeting was so nice because she invited us to her home and even fed us! Once it came time to the big day, Cindy and Ji were phenomenal. I felt so stress free and was able to enjoy every moment of it. The one thing I will always remember from my initial meeting with Cindy is how she said that when she runs a wedding, it is ALWAYS on time and her bride and groom will ALWAYS eat. This happened with no hesitation. As soon as Alan and I were done taking photos after our ceremony during the cocktail reception, we were welcomed with a saved plate of hor d'oeuvres. By the time it was the dinner reception, Cindy and Ji made sure we had our his and hers drink and also made sure we were eating. This was extremely important to me as I heard many stories about how the bride and groom typically don't eat at their wedding because their food is taken away or they're preoccupied with their guests. With Cindy and Ji's amazing coordinating skills even through the long day (our wedding ended at 12am) they seriously went above and beyond to ensure the happiness of the bride and groom and our guests. If you're looking for an amazing coordinator, look no further because Cindy and Ji really made our big day an unforgettable one.

all the planning and preparation by Cindy, we were able to fully enjoy our special day together. Most importantly, we got to enjoy our dinner during the reception =)

y, less than 3 months out, I knew I needed help. That's when I found Cindy and Ji. I had a friend that used their services and I reached out to inquire about their services. With raving reviews from my friend, I went ahead and a submitted a request for contact. I knew that I needed to hire Cindy in the first 15 minutes of our phone call. Cindy was kind enough to take my call while on vacation and I immediately saw her commitment to her business and clients. I moved forward with Cindy and Ji soon after our phone call and it was the best decision I felt like I could have made! There are so many details and things that need to be taken care of, that can easily be overlooked when you are planning a wedding. With Cindy and Ji, they help fill in the gaps, offer advice and truly listen to what you want your wedding day to look like. Cindy also takes care of reviewing all of your contracts, has a detailed spreadsheet on everything regarding your wedding date, puts timelines together for you and takes care of contacting all vendors (to name a few things of what they do). My husband and I were so impressed with their month of meeting and we felt like we were in good hands the entire time! They have attention to detail, they are thorough, organized and extremely knowledgeable in what they do! With all my last minute changes and hiccups, they executed everything perfectly on our wedding day! If anything did go wrong or unplanned, we knew nothing about it and that's what's important on your wedding day is to truly enjoy the day without worrying about anything! What we love the most about Cindy and Ji is that they don't make you feel like you are just clients, they truly and genuinely care for their couples! We're so grateful for the two of them as they have become friends of ours now. My husband and I were able to enjoy our wedding day and hiring them was the best investment we could have made! Thank you Cindy and Ji!

places at once. Wedding coordination was something I didn't think we needed, but after the fact I don't know how I would have done it without them! They went above and beyond my expectations! We had a month before planning meeting where we went over every little detail, they offered their expert knowledge and opinions on the time frame, vendor coordination, vendor communication, what should happen when, etc. They also tracked everything on a master google sheet so I could see and edit everything, so we were all on the same page. They coordinated and managed the entire flow of the rehearsal, managed the timing of the entire day and kept us on track for an on time start! They managed to get all my candles, decor pieces, table numbers, escort cards and all other additional items in place and set up properly, they managed getting everything together and packaged back up by the end of the night, they even had safety pins when my dress strap ripped! They were so helpful, professional, organized and really made me feel like my wedding was their only priority. I would highly recommend them for anyone that wants to be worry free the day of their wedding, because of all their hard work I really got to fully enjoy the entire wedding day!

n. Everything went super well for us, no hiccup, no stress, nothing. it was a perfect day very smooth. I truly recommend all three of them, perfect combination.

ever find yourself in a similar situation, you want to make sure you have Cindy & Ji on your team. They were able to step in, handle all the logistics and made sure our day was perfect. I also recommend that you hire them for your month-of planning as well. They keep you on track, give you ideas if you're stuck, and go above and beyond to accommodate your requests. In my case, I wanted to do a surprise performance for the bride. Cindy called me up and worked with me to put together a secret, day-of timeline which she distributed to all the vendors. Luckily the bride never got wind of it, and the surprise was awesome!

ithout them. I definitely recommend them for any couple needing some support on their special day!

job at really listening to what we were trying to envision for our destination wedding in Hawaii and executed it flawlessly. Cindy is also extremely organized as she kept me and my now husband on track every step of the way. Cindy and Ji are both very flexible to our requests but give valuable suggestions and guidance if you don't fully know what to do or what you want yet . For example, our ideas were all over the place but they were able to help with coming up with an entire theme! I cannot thank Cindy and Ji enough for all their hard work and creativity. I absolutely loved working with them, and I would do it all over again!

ey really captured the look and style that we wanted and made our special day stress free! It was really fun and a pleasure planning our wedding with them. We definitely would recommend them to all of our family and friends. =)

one doing 99% of the planning and coordinating. Thankfully Cindy was there to summarize everything and made things really easy with multiple “To-do-lists” with due dates. I think for most guys, that’s all we want, “Give me a list of things you want done and when you need it by.” She really had everything covered and you can tell she knows what can go wrong in a wedding by asking the right questions to our vendors and hotel wedding coordinator. If you somehow book her to be your coordinator, consider yourself very lucky and in good hands. You won’t be disappointed.

after being a part of a wedding entourage and going to multiple weddings. There are NO words to express how amazing Cindy is. I am a super OCD, detail oriented, an overboard "researcher" per se in terms of everything I purchase or do in life, and I spent DAYS researching online, talking to previous brides, family, friends, friends of friends just to make SURE that I put my money in the right place with the right person. And if you are as specific, needy and intense as me - Cindy is probably your bride-twin match made in heaven. I clearly remember the day I met with her, she basically told me she'd know my wedding just as well as I do - she knew every single detail, as if it was her own wedding! Some of my vendors too, praised her work, since they were also in communication (more than she puts it out for you to know). Side note: Cindy, if you're reading this, you should probably raise your rates. LOL! Most did not fail to mention "Your coordinator, Cindy... she's VERY on top of it. She's great!" and some of them even said "Where did you find her?", assuming she'd be one they'd recommend in the future. I clearly remembered a good amount of times during my wedding prep saying to myself "Thank God I have Cindy!!!" after hearing good things from others who were working with us on our wedding day! My groom and I had our plenty of alone time prior to our reception, we ate all our entrees as we were hoping because we hear a lot of brides and grooms don't get the time. We requested all these random things on our timeline (because that's a super important part of your actual wedding day), and she delivered. You tell Cindy what you want, and she will advise accordingly to make it happen! I don't have enough words to express my gratitude to Cindy and Ji, who helped my wedding day go so smoothly it's seriously almost unbelievable. Not only are you hiring an amazing team, but you will truly gain friend(s), including her husband who did not work with us but still managed to luckily meet (I highly recommend him as well as your photographer! we'll have to hire him for a future shoot next time!). I had ZERO problems, ZERO complaints from any of my family or friends in terms of how the day went, and everything was in perfect order. If you want a hassle free, happy day full of love and no stress, and have a go-to gal to basically be-you-but-not-you on your wedding day to take care of all the loose ends and questions people will ask on your wedding day - you NEED HAPPILYEVERAFTERSF IN YOUR LIFE! Thanks so much Cindy and Ji! We love you guys!!!

important to hand the reigns to someone you can trust to carry out your vision. That's exactly what Cindy and Ji did for us. I was so relaxed on my wedding day, because I knew these two had everything under control. That alone was PRICELESS! Ji has a calming presence. She's so nice and so helpful. Whatever I needed that day, she was there to help. She also made all of our signs (welcome sign, dessert table sign, menu, etc.), which were all beautiful and pulled everything together. The small details really made a difference. Cindy is extremely organized, detail oriented, and most of all, she's a lot of fun to work with! Cindy has a way of getting people to listen without sounding or being mean--she's authoritative but kind. This is exactly what you want in a wedding planner. Everybody told me ceremonies never start on time, but mine did. I have Cindy to thank for that. She goes above and beyond the call of duty. As an example, she noticed that there were heaters on the rental invoice that really were unnecessary. She contacted me right way, and I was able to remove them from the order before the deadline. She helped me save $600. Cindy is genuine, sweet, and truly does care about the couples she works with. I couldn't have asked for a better planner! She is the BEST in the industry. I 100% recommend Happily Ever After SF.

indy did an amazing job at that wedding, from the timeline down to ensuring that all the details were just right. My wife was also so impressed by Cindy that once we got engaged, we both knew that she was the one to help us make our dream wedding come true. I truly did not know what kind of experience I was going to have. The level of service we got from Cindy and Ji was amazing. I believe they went above and beyond to make sure that my wife and I were taken care of during our wedding and kept us informed on what was next to come. We are so glad that Happily Ever After SF was our planner for our special day. They really took care of us as if we were family.

forward, we became so overwhelmed by the tedious emails and tasks it took into planning a wedding that we looked into hiring a wedding coordinator. A co-worker of mine had hired Cindy and her husband (wedding photographer) and I received raved reviews on her execution. I had already hired her husband, Oliver as our wedding coordinator and I thought to reach out to what she will be able to provide for us. The moment we had our first phone conversation, we knew we needed her. Cindy, is so detailed and organized its unbelievable. We instantly hired her and felt relieved we had someone to help oversee our wedding. A couple of days prior to our wedding day, Cindy was able to catch that neither of the wedding venue and caterers had order linen napkins. Good catch Cindy!!! She exceeded our expectations and was able to help make our wedding day run extremely smooth. When we looked back, we can’t vouched how valuable it was in hiring Cindy.

endor and she was very supportive and helpful and took the time to help us try to resolve the issues we were experiencing. Something that she didn’t need to do but she helped us and went above and beyond to make sure that we would have a perfect wedding. That alone was more than what we could have asked for. She truly cares about her couples and wants you to have your "happily ever after". Now six months after our wedding and after looking at our wedding video and pictures we love how everything turned out. Who knew you needed a timeline and a day of coordinator, but we see that all of Cindy’s hard work was for us to have our perfect wedding. If you don’t think you need a day off coordinator think again, Cindy and Ji will definitely take care of you and make sure that you can enjoy your wedding.

down to the minute. Couldn't imagine my wedding without her! AMAZING!

's even engaged? ME! Go ahead and call me crazy, but the crazy idea paid off! It was one of the best decisions for our wedding that we made! Cindy (Ji and Oliver) were so fun to work with. After we had met for our first consult, we knew that we could trust that our ideas and plans would be executed, but we didn't know that it was going to be so PERFECT! Cindy was able to put everything together so smoothly and Ji put our signage exactly as we had envisioned. It was the most stress-free planning process that we have ever experienced. I'm always the one who is in control and plans things out, but with Cindy... NO PROBLEM! I had nothing to worry about, and man oh man... That was so awesome! Another reason why we loved Cindy was that she put my husband and me first. She made sure we were taken care of by being hydrated and fed during our wedding day. She had the venue staff ready to serve us a plate of hors d'oeuvres and champagne after the ceremony! She even brought us Boba Guys for our Wedding Rehearsal! Cindy went above and beyond and we are so thankful! We cannot thank HappilyEverAfterSF enough! If you are reading this while you're trying to look for the perfect Wedding Planner, just STOP. You've found her!

ur wedding day - and she did. She came prepared to every meeting, brought new ideas to the table that we would have missed, and made sure we stayed grounded when our ideas / focus / timing got away from us. Her preparation was only matched by how well she orchestrated our big day. I found myself not worried about anything the day of, just focused on my wife and family. To me, that was a true gift and well worth the cost. I would like to say we were lucky to have such a great wedding, but I know it was Cindy who made it happen. Also, her husband, Oliver (our photographer​) is the man !

was so organized, answered all of my crazy e-mailed questions, gave great advice, AND she is an awesome graphic designer and made all my invitations for an incredible price. I can't get over how easy the actual wedding was - we were on time, they remembered things I forgot (oh, I wanted an entrance? right!), AND they transformed my ceremony flowers into decorations for the guest book table and our groom/bride tables (which I had not budgeted for). But luckily Ji and Cindy are geniuses. Who really care about you and your wedding, and make everything so easy and perfect. I would recommend them to everyone and anyone who needs a month of coordinator (and beyond)!

ith Cindy a year out from our wedding and it was love at first meeting. Cindy is beyond organized and has immaculate attention to detail and is incredible sweet. She helped us think about any and all detail with her spread sheets and reminders. She was very helpful answer all of our questions, even the ridiculously stupid ones. The day of the wedding was perfect. Throughout the morning and afternoon I was relaxed and having fun all because of her. She set everything up perfectly and kept the whole evening on time and running smoothly. If there were any problems or hiccups I had no clue about them. I would highly recommend Cindy and Ji to anyone and everyone getting married.

ose family and friends to have a wedding- so I had no idea what I was getting into. They were my lifeline to all my questions and concerns. They eased the stress of wedding planning on several occasions. . I truly appreciate their honesty and advice. They are professional and very easy to get along with. Cindy works very close with Ji in order to get the details perfect. They helped coordinate the day of events with all my vendors. Ji is very talented with custom designs and provided me with many options to go with my vintage theme. Ji helped design menus, programs, escort cards, table numbers and a hand written seating chart. I was also lucky enough to book Cindy's husband as a photographer, Verstyle Photography. He captured the moments that will last a lifetime. As a team they work like a well oiled machine. I am very thankful that they provided me with the comfort of knowing that I was in good hands. The day of the wedding I let go of all the stress and allowed them to do what they do best. Everything was AMAZING! I am so grateful to have used this company. I would recommend them to all my family and friends.

one of my good friends' wedding. That wedding, in my opinion, went without a hitch and not to mention, ON TIME. I remembered telling my then fiance (now husband) that I don't care how much her services were. I needed Cindy to coordinate our wedding. My husband and I cornered Cindy towards the end of my friend's wedding reception and told her how amazed we were of her and her team and to expect an email from us the following Monday. The rest was history. The planning process with Cindy was not stressful at all. She understood our vision right off the bat and when she had us start on her Planning Workbook, my Type A self was beyond excited. Cindy was the missing piece from our vendor list. She kept us ON TIME with schedules, time frames and her ability to work/communicate with the rest of our vendors was a definite plus. She knew exactly what to do from the planning all the way till the day of the wedding and we can definitely tell others that our wedding wouldn’t have been the way it was if it wasn’t for Cindy and her team. Cindy was so organized, smart, responsible, professional and friendly throughout the whole process that by the time our Big Day rolled around, my husband and I were excited to get married. Most importantly, my sanity as a Bride was completely intact by the time we got to the Big Day. I appreciate Cindy even more when I talk with other Brides and what their experiences were with their planning. Some couldn’t believe how seamless mine went. I was so calm (except for wedding day jitters, of course) the day of knowing Cindy had everything under control and that to me made hiring Happily Ever After SF worth every penny and more. So if you are looking for a superb, one of a kind wedding coordinator/planner… look no further, hire Happily Ever After SF. Among all of our vendors, I am most thankful for bringing on Cindy and her team. And vendors that turn into friends after the wedding is priceless in my book.

planner until we met Cindy by chance through our fantastic photographer Oliver (Verstyle photographer - another recommend!). Our venue already included an event planner and a day of coordinator, so we thought we were all set. We couldn't have been more wrong. Cindy and her team bring organization and action on bride/groom side while we realized our event planners and day of coordinators were more making sure that the venue was up to snuff. Cindy was an absolute life-saver when it came to the actual wedding by making sure all of our vendors were punctual, timely, and had everything they needed. Cindy sat with us on multiple occasions to understand our vision of the wedding and she helped us execute it to exactly that. Every little question or little hiccup that occurred - we didn't know about at all during the whole day because Cindy was there to get it wrapped up. Seriously if you're at all still contemplating if you need her - you do.

her). They are both the absolute BEST at what they do and a total power couple. Going into planning our wedding, I wasn't sure I would need a day-of coordinator since my venue provided coordinators for us as well. Cindy helped me understand that when venues provide coordinators, they are most concerned with making sure everything is going fine from the venue's perspective, however, having your own personal day-of coordinator goes above and beyond that. And she was absolutely right! Cindy was super involved with every detail of our wedding decor and bride/groom schedule about a month before our wedding, which made me feel at ease on our big day. It was perfect because my husband and I were still able to plan all the details our own way, but Cindy was able to seamlessly pick up on our vision and execute everything flawlessly. Within a few short minutes of meeting Cindy and getting to know her, I knew she had that same particularly "anal" (if you will) attention to detail, which I found refreshing since I am the exact same way (but no one wants to have to be like that the day of their own wedding - which makes it so nice to have Cindy around to make sure everything is running smoothly while you kick back and get taken from one thing to the next.) She was always on time for every meeting and does everything she can to relief some of the burden off of you. She has a great spreadsheet to keep you organized and will follow up with you on things she needs from you. She checked in with my hair and make-up ladies to make sure everyone would be on time and communicated the schedule to them for all of our appointments including bridal party and family. During the day of the wedding, she was so on top of everything (as usual!) She even had to deal with some difficult vendors and did so gracefully, which we really appreciated. Cindy is basically an amazing wedding coordinator wrapped up in a beautiful tiny little package, and I would recommend her to any bride any day! She does it all and is definitely a friend I know I've made for a lifetime. Thank you for everything Cindy!

r and her husband, Oliver (Verstyle Photography) was definitely meant to be. My friend had referred me to a different photographer, but I couldn't remember her name, so I just Googled something that sounded similar. Lo and behold, this guy named Oliver Dumlao of Verstyle Photography popped up. When I first started looking for vendors, I would always check out their "About Me" page or scout for things that would give me an idea about their personalities. I mean, what good is an amazing vendor if you don't get along with them? I saw that Oliver was a Bboy, so I knew he probably had a good taste in music, etc. Looking through his page, I saw a link for "Happily Ever After..." and wondered what that was about. Boom. Happily Ever After SF. Of course, I jumped right into Cindy's About Me and fell in love. When I saw "OCD", I knew I had to book her. Honorary Maid of Honor for sure. On top of that, she went to UC Berkeley, so I knew she had to be good. We met with her and Oliver and they really made the effort to get to know us and see what we wanted for our ideal wedding. I had all of these ideas - Pinterest (*blessing and a curse), and Cindy was able to fine tune them and made them work. She kept us on track with EVERYTHING - time frames, schedules, and gave us her ideas here and there - ALL without being pushy and without bumping heads with me. I don't know if we would've made it without these two amazing people. Everyone kept saying that our wedding was the first on-time wedding they had ever been to. If you want a team that can get the job done, people who are organized, friendly, responsible, smart, and easy to work with, hire them both! Cindy will keep you on track, and more importantly, sane. Oliver will take amazing pictures. Vendors turned friends? Hope so. One of my bridesmaids already booked her for her wedding. They are worth every penny and more.

iew is long overdue and well deserved. Since my husband and I are perfectionists and pay A LOT of attention to detail, I knew that I would not be able to be everywhere all at one time on our wedding day. We knew that we needed someone to solidify our decisions when it came to details and execute on the day of our wedding. Through face to face meetings, we were able to explain to Cindy how we envisioned our day. There were definitely plenty of LOGISTICS since we wanted to get the best deals as well as have our guests indulge in all of our favorite things. Cookies, cake, appetizers, chivari chairs, table clothes, etc all from different vendors. Prior to booking each vendor, Cindy was able to read the contract before we signed so that we could clarify any questions and most importantly not accrue any additional expenses. Even with such demanding logistics, our day was executed with the utmost attention to detail. Our detailed timeline was tough to figure out because there were some things I just wouldn't budge on. I really wanted our first look to remain traditional at the church, but prior to departure from the hotel, I wanted to ensure that both groom and bride had ample time to take immediate family pictures. Cindy made it work and we have photos to prove it! Throughout the planning process she was always available by email. She even answered my panic email while she was on vacation to ease our anxiety. Her emails were prompt and always answered all of our questions. The day before our wedding there were last minute changes and she was always available by phone and email to make things work! The week of the wedding, she made sure everything was taken care of before our big day. We made sure final payments were made and all other payment envelopes were in her care. She didn't have to clarify decoration or vendor contract details the day of. She took care of it ALL. On our wedding day, we were able to enjoy ourselves and she made sure our program ran smoothly. She worked behind the scenes and was there to make everything perfect. When we arrived at the wedding reception, all of our display tables were beautifully set up. I didn't even have to send her pictures of how I wanted things. Cindy and her team executed and they delivered! At the end of the night clean up was very minimal. My boxes were packed accordingly and we just had to load our cars. Our guests until this day talk about the great time they had. We are so grateful that Cindy was by our side. She made our vision a reality and our pictures and video showcase our beautiful wedding. Even with all the crazy details, our wedding really did turn out how we planned. On the day of, it was amazing to see a year's worth of planning put into action. I still think back about our wedding day with a smile on my face. Her dedication to get the job done and execute the day to make it ours was priceless. Not to mention she even made us a short slideshow with pictures from our wedding day. They captured our laughter and showcased her point of view of our wedding day. It was a pleasure working with her and I would definitely recommend her to future engaged couples! You won't regret it, Cindy will take care of you!

sonal level. She was able to see what kind of couple we are and she made sure our relationship shinned throughout the wedding. She is so very organized, without her I would have missed lots of important details. She gave me deadlines to make sure I didn't stress as the wedding came near. My husband and I had the MOST FUN day ever!!! She kept everyone organized and ready. If there was something I wanted, she made sure it happened. She was very good at painting the picture for me too. If there were ideas, she would show us what that would look like and if it was feasible. She was our expert and I trusted her wholeheartedly. She let us know what to expect and got us ready for the tough moments, like when all 300 guests want to take pictures with us in only 20 minutes at the chapel! She organized us and THEM. Poor Cindy had a really tough time with our reception venue, the management was mean and rude to her. She trucked on with a smile and made sure WE were happy. Not until days after the wedding we found out, we would have never known. She made our night perfect, she made sure we kept with our timeline (we actually finished the program 15 min early!!! that's how good she is!) We didn't miss a beat, we ate, we drank, we socialized, and danced the night away all thanks to her. Our venue decor was perfect and she knew exactly what to do. Whatever hiccups there were, my husband and I knew nothing about them, that's how good she is! Guests who did not RSVP were seated as if there were no issues. Our guests also liked to move around their assigned seats, and she worked with them without any issues. We also hired her husband as our photographer, and the duo is perfect. Having our wedding planned and documented alongside a, truly, in love couple was the cherry on top for us. Our wedding was perfect thanks to Cindy.
