House of Love Planning

Ryan is a top notch planner, especially if you're not local to San Diego, I highly recommend her services! Ryan was amazing for many reasons - she provided top quality vendor recommendations that worked really well for our venue and budget. She was also really good about finding creative solutions for design within our budget constraints which was such a huge help. Ryan's an amazing communicator, highly organized, thoughtful, kind and fun to work with. We loved collaborating with her on the most amazing planning tool (Aisle Planner) that she utilizes ... it included timeline management, a comprehensive checklist, a venue layout, budget tracking and more. Everything was super clearly outlined for us and working with Ryan and with Aisle Planner made the process fun and way less stressful! She went above and beyond to create and execute the most memorable, magical and stress-free wedding day. Her attention to detail with "day of" support and planning was amazing. She even built us a custom champagne wall (we rented it but she built it for our space) which was SUCH a huge hit with guests! If you're a couple that's on the fence about hiring a planner, just know that it will really help alleviate anxiety and stress especially when it comes to tracking/reviewing contracts, completing payments on time and making good decisions about what vendors to hire. Highly recommend Ryan and the "House of Love Planning" services -- cannot thank her enough for everything!

Ryan is absolutely amazing. Our wedding was perfection. I was so stressed with planning, and finally decided to hire a planner three months before the wedding. She found THE BEST vendors and designed our wedding to be unique, gorgeous, and delightful for our guests. I left nearly everything in her hands, and she absolutely delivered. The wedding day itself was zero stress. Every last detail was handled. Beyond that, logistically, Ryan is available and communicative. She is very organized. And, she is very careful to stick to a budget. I couldn’t ask for a better experience.

I am not sure where to begin to explain how vital having someone like Ryan is when planning a wedding. I had ideas, some specific and some loose, for my wedding but I am not a details person. Ryan supported me through the whole process even though she was only responsible for the last 8 weeks. I regularly reached out for support, advise, and delegation of wedding details. She is a special person that is both soothing and incredibly efficient. And once I handed off at 8 weeks, Ryan ran everything, setting timelines, correcting contracts, following up on smaller details. I had so much faith I was able to go travel international with my fiancé for two weeks and only returned a week before the wedding. It was incredible, a perfect, dream wedding, made possible by Ryan!

I don't know what I would've done if it wasn't for Ryan! I was a COVID bride and had to postpone our wedding from November 2020 to November 2021. Ryan was so helpful during the planning process and staying in touch with our vendors throughout. She also had recommendations for design and always looked out for our best interest. The day of the wedding was flawless, Ryan kept us on track and was always around when we needed her. I can't believe these 2 years of planning are finally over and couldn't thank Ryan enough for all that she did for us!

Ryan was absolutely the BEST decision we made for our wedding! We started planning in 2019, ready for a Nov 2020 wedding. When COVID-19 hit, we moved our whole wedding over a full year. Not to mention, Ryan never added any fees for extending our date! Ryan navigated the date change with grace, contacted all our vendors, and I didn’t have to worry about a thing. Everything was handled! She was ALWAYS available to talk about our wedding, which was a huge plus because we work weird hours. Ryan was exactly the person you want for planning your little details, making a magical dream wedding a reality, getting the greatest vendor connections, and having a go-to person for the day of. Ryan was patient, and professional, and always ready to dive into the next detail. We not only found a perfect wedding planner with Ryan, but made a friend in the process. If you’re looking for someone to take the reins and check all the boxes you’d never think of, Ryan is your girl. The best part of having her help was her expertise— she took our all the guess work and all the research required to plan a wedding. She was AMAZING, and I can’t say how lucky we are to have found her. Thank you, Ryan!

Not only does Ryan have a beautiful soul but she has such an amazing passion for making your wedding absolutely perfect. We had been working with Ryan since 2019 for a 2020 wedding, then covid hit. Ryan made planning a wedding absolutely stress free during probably one of the most stressful times to do so. We ended up postponing until 2021 and all the while Ryan kept us in high spirits that we would still have a beautiful wedding. Her vision for our special day was absolutely magical! We were so excited when she presented her ideas to us. She took special care that any of our personal details were included and they flowed beautifully. Also who else makes setting up a wedding fun?! From what I heard from her team they had an incredible amount of fun putting together everything for the reception. She truly made every aspect of our wedding day wonderful. Neither my husband or I were stressed about any part of the day. I couldn’t ask for a greater gift than to enjoy our wedding day to the fullest, and Ryan delivered that 100%.

We found Ryan on The Knot and are so grateful we did! We hired her for the entire process and could not have been happier with the result. Not being from San Diego ourselves, Ryan was extremely helpful in finding the best vendors for us within our price range. It ended up being a two year process due to the wait time for the venue we chose, but that never fazed Ryan. She was always quick to respond to our messages in a kind and professional manner, answering our seemingly never-ending questions with her never-ending patience. Ryan's spreadsheets and payment reminders were also incredibly helpful to staying organized and on top of everything. Ryan has an in-depth knowledge of the wedding industry and provided us with a multitude of creative ideas while still keeping our vision in mind. While we had a general idea of what we wanted, Ryan really helped fine tune it and turn our dream into reality. It ended up being even more spectacular than we could have ever imagined! Ryan thought of all the little details to pull the whole event together into a gorgeous, tropical paradise. On the wedding day, all we had to do was enjoy! Ryan took care of everything from coordinating with other vendors to arranging seats and decor. She scheduled our wedding day so we could have fun without feeling rushed -- we actually had time to eat and enjoy cocktail hour with our guests! It was the perfect day and we can’t thank Ryan enough for ensuring we had the best of the best. (:

I don’t say thing like this often, but please stop looking for a wedding planner and hire Ryan!! Ryan is truly the best out there! She is very responsive, listens to your ideas, extremely professional, kind, sweet and all around fun! Ryan was proactive and on top of things reminding me of things we needed to do that we would have not done without her, including renting a beautiful canopy for the outdoor ceremony to keep guests cool. (Geez, was I wrong thinking we didn’t need that!). She has the BEST ideas and recommendations to make our wedding beyond unique, which also makes her a wedding designer all in one! She is calm at all times and solves all problems so you can enjoy the planning process and more importantly, your wedding day! On our wedding day, Ryan worked literally all day to make each and every detail come to life, including cutting each and every ribbon and tying it to napkins, setting up the dessert table, making sure everything arrived on time, and among many, many other things. While I was having my hair and make up done, the girls doing this said I was the calmest bride they had seen. It’s all because Ryan took care of everything! I was able to enjoy the entire day!! We had several wedding guests, without prompting, tell us how much they LOVED the wedding and the small details (which I thought would go unnoticed), and how much they truly enjoyed her as a person. One of our guests sent me a random message saying, “Wedding planner gets A+. She is amazing. If I ever get married I’m hiring her”. When guests notice, you know you made the best decision out there to hire Ryan!!!

Ryan helped make this our perfect wedding. From planning and through the day of the wedding. She reminded me of important things to do and when which was really helpful. She recommended the most unique things for our reception like personalized cookies for table seating and personalized acrylic table settings. She took care of everything on the day of the wedding so that I could actually enjoy the day and not stress on details. I highly recommend her!

Ryan was a lifesaver during our entire wedding planning process! We were debating having Ryan as our day of wedding planner, but we decided to use her full time planning skills, and thank goodness we did! Not only did she introduce us to the most amazing vendors, she was organized, helpful and always available especially as we dealt with the stress of pushing our wedding back a year due to Covid-19. Our timeline was extended by a year, and she was there with us every step of the way. Ryan went above and beyond to help us bring our wedding vision to life! Her creative ideas and eye for design made our wedding everything we hoped it would be and more. I can't overstate how thankful we are for Ryan! I highly recommend using her planning expertise for your wedding. She will make all of your dreams come true.

As a wedding photographer of over 8 years I have worked with many wedding planners and Ryan is one of my favorites! She is extremely organized and well planned out yet never pushy or overbearing in any way! She is friendly, kind, communicative, extremely creative and an overall joy to work with! I recommend her to all of my brides now!

Ryan was easily the best investment we made for our wedding. She was constantly on the ball and knew what she was doing. Ryan went above and beyond to help save us stress and more importantly money. Every vendor recommendation she made was amazing and we knew we could make decisions easily coming from her expert opinion. Her design ideas are like no other and I highly recommend letting her take the reign on the design aspect of your special day. The day of the wedding was as close to perfect as I imagined because of her. Not only was Ryan there to assist us professionally, she was an awesome friend and supporter for the months leading up to our wedding.

Ryan was the best decision we made! She took the fantasy wedding dream and made it a reality. It was such a pleasure to be able to meet and work with her. She was so organized and helped to keep things on schedule, reminded me of thing, and had great suggestions and ideas. The day of the wedding, everything came together perfectly, at least that's all that I saw. She took care of everything so we were able to just enjoy the day. (Her vendor contacts were also all amazing.) I debated between day of and wedding management option and am so glad I went with the wedding management option. She took so much stress off of the planning!

Ryan was everything I had hoped for in a wedding planner. And she understood what I hoped for in my wedding. Ryan really went above and beyond the call of duty for me and to make my day special. I appreciate everything she has done including listening to me and all my questions. Thank you Ryan for everything! 🖤

Ryan went above and beyond to assist us with our wedding! From finding our location to remembering sharpies for our guest book and absolutely everything in between. Ryan was such a pleasure to work with. She had everything figured out for us. Throughout the wedding planning process people were commenting to my partner and me about how we were so calm and relaxed and how they couldn't believe it. This was ALL due to Ryan. All we had to do was choose our specific ideas. Ryan took care of our timelines, payment schedules, and reminders for all of the small details. She even got us a huge discount on our rentals and assisted in canceling rentals from our caterer, saving me from an uncomfortable conversation. Ryan also was SO responsive. Anytime I had a question she was right back to me within 15 minutes for an email or immediately with a text. I could really go on and on. I highly recommend Love Always Planning. Thank you so much Ryan!

If you are on the fence about hiring a wedding planner or not, you won’t regret it. Especially if you hire Ryan! We hired her about a year before our wedding, and she was so patient and kind with our inability to make immediate decisions. She answered every email and text promptly. Each response was always positive, clam, informative, and full of reassurance that all things would be taken care of . Her in-person presence was the same calm, collective and present. She will take care of every question or concern you may have with ease. She is there for you when you need to occasionally vent about your worries, but again, her responses are so genuine and perfect you’ll wonder why you ever thought your issue was a concern. She’s that good, you’ll see. And she really is your number one supporter through out the entire wedding process. It was so nice to get off work and read emails from Ryan that things were taken care of with vendors. She was on top of everything! She also has plenty of referrals incase you still were looking for more vendors. She recommended a hairstylist for my bridesmaids, and her referral did not disappoint. And did I mention she does receptions florals! All of our flowers came out so beautiful! She can take your inspiration photos and make them a reality, while working within your budget. The day of the wedding she was still her same cool, collective and professional self. If I needed to find her to ask her for something she was easily available and never too far away. She had the timeline of everything in order without us even realizing. She gathered the bridal party for ceremony, she then gathered the bridal party/bride and groom after cocktail hour for everyones grand entrance, she popped by our table to inform us toast were about to begin (which was nice to know where we stood since our time at the venue was limited and it was really to ask if anyone else we knew wanted to speak which was also nice), but her team allowed us to enjoy every moment on the day of our wedding. The wedding was perfect! Ryan took the majority of the work and stress off our shoulders during the year long planning process. I can’t even imagine what our stress level would have been if we didn’t have Ryan’s help. Thanks again Ryan for being soo helpful and tranquil during this process! You definitely need some like Ryan in your corner. Trust me!

Ryan was truly incredible to work with. Being in the hospitality industry myself for many years, most recently as a caterer it is always such a pleasure to work with someone who knows the ins and outs of what details are needed. She was on top of everything, was professional and helpful during the entire process, and was just a pleasure to work with. Her eye for the most beautiful settings and color schemes is exceptional, she will make the whole day seamless from beginning to end. I would highly recommend Love Always Planning + Design!

My husband Daniel B already wrote a review below but I just needed to add how happy I was that we hired Ryan as our wedding planner for our big day. I had so many friends and family tell me about how flawlessly our wedding day went and all of the credit goes to Ryan. I honestly couldn’t have done it without her, wedding planning was so stressful even with a wedding planner- I can’t imagine what it would’ve been like without her. She was so calm and helpful and had so many answers to questions and situations we didn’t even consider! She even took up parts of our wedding planning that was not in her contract to help us save money. Trust me, if there is one area of your wedding you truly want to invest your money into, hiring Ryan as your wedding planner is the best decision you’ll make.

I was very hesitant to get a wedding planner during the early stages of our wedding planning. Once we sat down with Ryan to discuss wedding planning and all the upcoming decisions I was convinced that it was going to be worth it to hire Ryan. She was very professional and organized and was always prompt to answer all of our questions. She saved us money is many different ways while simultaneously making the overall wedding better. As the months went by Ryan kept us on track and made sure we were not overwhelmed with things to do in the last few weeks leading up to our wedding. We were essentially done planning almost a month before the event. Ryan took care of many of the small remaining items in the weeks leading up to the wedding and her and her team did a fabulous job setting up our venue and making it look better than what we had envisioned. During our rehearsal, Ryan quickly got us organized and ready for our big day. On the actual wedding day, everything went so smoothly and one small hiccup was solved so quickly that not one person even noticed. I am super happy that we worked with Ryan to plan our wedding and I would recommend her to any couple who is looking for help in planning a wedding.

Ryan was absolutely amazing and made our wedding day perfect and stress-free! During the planning process, she would immediately respond to my panic texts and emails and made me feel instantly better. She is very generous and volunteered to stay at our reception past the time we contracted her for because our venue required it. We had tight timelines for photography/transportation that she executed flawlessly! Everything about the way she runs her business is professional and catered to each couple. She cared about every detail of our wedding and made the day absolutely PERFECT! My husband and myself have nothing but the best to say about Ryan and the incredible work she did on our wedding!

We had an incredible experience working with Ryan to plan our wedding. Ryan is professional, personable, and hard-working; she is very detail oriented and keeps vendors on track. She also has a wealth of knowledge and information about best practices for planning a wedding of any size, which helped us immensely. Perhaps most importantly, she genuinely cares, is available and flexible, and puts the bride and groom’s needs first. Highly recommended. Thank you Ryan!

Ryan was absolutely amazing! She helped us plan our wedding from across the country! Not to mention she was pregnant the whole time and still never skipped a beat. Our big day was all that we had imagined and more. Everything went so perfect and smooth. Thanks a million Ryan!

Ryan was more than we could've hoped for. We live in Florida so planning a west coast wedding comes with another level of communication and organization and she was amazing at every step. From keeping us informed and on point to managing all of the vendors, we were always well taken care of. For the best, hire Ryan!

Ryan is the BEST!!! As a fellow coordinator, I was so thankful I met Ryan at a local industry event. We immediately made a connection and knew that she would be someone that I would love to partner on with future events! Her passion for her clients and knowledge in our great industry blows me away! She truly cares, incredibly organized and brings a sense of calmness that is an important skill to have as a planner! My family and I recently welcomed our fourth child, and I couldn't be present on the day of one of my clients weddings that I was fully planning. I knew my clients were in the best of hands when I hired Ryan with Love Always Planning for day of coordination, and they absolutely were!!! Everything went so well, and my clients were so happy!!! Greatly appreciate her professionalism, commitment, advice, and having someone that I fully trust to represent my business! Thank you Ryan! You are truly amazing!!! Grateful for you and look forward to collaborating in the future!

Ryan and Carnie at Love Always Wedding Planning were amazing! They exceeded all of my expectations. They were in charge of my reception and all florals. The florals, let me tell you, so beautiful!!! The table centerpieces were so beautiful and Ryan had really creative ideas that worked with the room. She was also really careful to work within my floral budget which was much appreciated. She totally saw my vision and improved upon it, making florals more beautiful than I could have imagined. Ryan had a great idea for me to have three different sized plain white cakes (Ryan referred me to the baker, also amazing) with florals as decoration on the cakes and that was so gorgeous, all my guests loved it!! And the cake was delicious! Even though I only had them planning my reception, Ryan went above and beyond and sent me a perfectly planned timeline of my entire day, from the very start in the morning with hair and makeup, through the end of the night. Her thoughtful schedule worked so well to eliminate any wedding day worries. They managed all of my other vendors perfectly and if there were any issues throughout the night, I didn’t know about them, I just got to enjoy my night!!! I couldn’t imagine not having their help, I would strongly recommend them for any bride to be and all of my friends! Carnie’s attention to detail with setting up the room and to the schedule ensured the night moved along right on schedule. My guests had such a great time as did my husband and I. If you’re looking for a wedding planner to save you stress and ensure you have a wonderfully special day, Love Always is the way to go!

Ryan was absolutely wonderful! Her calm demeanor and organization made us feel at ease and thankful to have her as our day-of coordinator! Ryan worked with us on a price that worked for our budget, which we were so grateful for. We did most of the planning, and only needed Ryan for day-of coordination, but she still met with us twice before the big day, including a trip out to our venue for a site visit. She ran our rehearsal and even picked up decor that needed to go to the venue the night before. If you are unsure of whether you should get a coordinator, let me tell you, get one! She organized our vendors and set up the reception so beautifully. She really made our vision a reality! Ryan is awesome and I highly recommend her services!

Ryan is AMAZING!! I met Ryan from one of the bridal bazaars that I attended. I chose to go with her over another wedding planner because her price was right, and she seemed sweet, nice and humble. My husband and I enjoyed talking to her during our interview. We ordered the partial planning package since we only needed a Day-Of coordinator and my husband and I have done most of the leg work already (finding the right vendors, negotiating prices with said vendors, and finalizing contracts). Ryan and I stayed in contact over emails throughout the months leading up to the month of the wedding. She also helped us by suggesting other vendors when we didn't end up liking some of ours due to what they were charging us. I also really appreciated that she kept our budget in mind! She suggested a few vendors to us, with two that we ended up going with and were really happy with. She responds promptly to emails and is really courteous and respectful. Some of our vendors later mentioned to me that they really liked my wedding planner because her emails to them were approachable, consistent and informative, and more importantly, nice! She did so many things for us and went way out of her way and really went above and beyond for us. 3 weeks before the wedding, we scheduled a wrap up meeting to make sure all of our concerns were addressed. We asked if she could come to our house because we wanted to show her all of the wedding decor that we DIY'd and where we planned on doing with them/putting them. Most importantly, my husband and I wanted to share our vision with her so that she can make sure everything is where we'd like them to be. She graciously agreed to come over to our house. She was also so wonderful in offering to make a couple of flower sprays for our arch (that my husband made) free of charge, and only charged us for supplies. Again, she kept our budget in mind when I mentioned that I wanted to keep it low. She suggested faux flowers for our arch, and they turned out so beautiful and classy! She did such a fantastic job on the arch sprays! She also offered to pick up our mini desserts from two different places and stored it in her fridge so we didn't have to organize and ask for someone to pick it up. We were going to start setting up Friday afternoon and our venue is about 45-50 miles away, so it was very kind of her to offer to pick up our desserts for us. She also picked up our pizzas that we planned on serving for our rehearsal dinner, because no pizza delivery services in the area delivered to our venue (since we were still so busy with setup and getting ready for the rehearsal later that evening). She came up to the venue for our rehearsal dinner, pizza boxes in hand, and shortly after started to organize and give us direction as to how the ceremony and reception should go. The day of the wedding, she was in full work mode, delegating tasks and checking to make sure everything was in place. She also mentioned that she was going to bring her male assistant with her on the wedding day to help us with setup. He was so nice & kind too! They helped make sure all of our decor were in place, that our timeline was good. Our wedding was so stunning and magical, everyone talked about how fun and beautiful everything was & Ryan helped make it happen! I'm running out of space & have so much more to write about how absolutely amazing Ryan is & I'm so thankful for all of the hard work she did to make everything go so smoothly!! PICK HER PICK HER!!

Ryan is absolutely amazing at what she does! We had hired a different planner at first and that planner went MIA. When we found Ryan it was a breath of fresh air and a huge weight lifted off our shoulders. She took over with no problem and helped us with all the things we had left to finish. The day of the wedding I had 0 worries and not once did I have to look at the clock to make sure the party was on time. You will not regret hiring Ryan, I personally recommend her and her business. Ryan I can always be used as a reference. Thank you for everything and God bless you and your business..

Love Always Planning provided our day of coordination services, as well as some pre-wedding planning services. We worked with Ryan and she delivered services as promised. We highly recommend hiring her for your wedding or event as her organizational skills are outstanding, she paid attention to all of our details, she has exceptional vendor recommendations, and she added questions or suggestions in the places we had gaps and didn’t know. We consider our wedding day as the perfect day – everything we imagined and more – and credit Ryan for this accomplishment. We used her rental services too – an arch and candy table jars and scoops – and the setup was beautiful. Book her now and don’t look back!

Ryan made our wedding perfect. She decorated our reception venue beautifully, guided our ceremony and reception seamlessly, and made sure every issue was taken care of before I was aware there was an issue. So many of our guests said they loved our decor, the flow of our wedding, and the overall relaxed feeling. We would not have accomplished any of those things without Ryan. Ryan is truly the best and we could not have been happier with the way our wedding turned out. Not only will she make your wedding visions come true, she will be a caring friend throughout the process.

Ryan was a wonderful wedding planner. She always responded quickly and she was always giving us new ideas. She made my dream wedding come true . It was absolutely perfect

I wasn't going to hire a wedding planner since I'm generally a DIY person. We had our wedding at a County Park. The park has limited hours & we had to supply all the vendors & decor, but it had picnic tables, trash/recycle, restrooms & electrical outlets. Finding someone to get there early, to bring all of our supplies, & to decorate was a challenge for us. That being said, I'm happy Ryan was there to take on that task. She answered my questions throughout the process & was especially helpful for the day of our wedding. Our family & several guests raved about her work. Our venue looked beautiful! She took care of all the little tasks that my husband & I weren't sure who was going to (such as refilling the ice boxes & drinks, communicating with the DJ for announcements, etc). She truly enjoys what she does. She is an example of the type of person we love working with. We're very grateful for her.

Prior to becoming a wedding planner/coordinator, Ryan assisted my day of coordinator with the set up of my reception; she was energetic and stepped in where needed. At the ceremony, Ryan willingly stepped in as our DJ; she was professional and always smiling despite any small hiccups due to tech malfunctions. Thanks Ryan for helping us have an unforgettable day!
