Jade & Castle

I had the pleasure of photographing a wedding at Slide Ranch and it was definitely one of the most beautiful venues I've ever shot. Everyone there was so nice and both the couple and the guests had such an amazing time. Highly recommended!

A Blessing To Have As a caterer, working with Abigail and her assistant was an absolute blessing! We are so happy to have had such a kind, generous, accommodating, and thoughtful planner to work with at our client's wedding. She and her team went above and beyond to help us throughout the day and were on top of everything. We sincerely hope that our paths cross again soon.

We LOVED working with Abby and Monika! Jade & Castle were fantastic wedding/event planners. We mostly worked closely with Abby for the duration of our planning and she was extremely professional at all times but kept things light and fun. My (now husband) and I are both hugely appreciative of Abbys ability to unburden us from any technical worries that come with navigating a wedding. We recently got married in Muir Beach and our venue provided its own challenges, which Abby handled seamlessly. She was always one step ahead of things and through the chaos of a wedding she created a naturally calm environment. Abby had every answer to our many questions, and for that we are so grateful, we truly could not have done this without her! I wish we were getting married again just to work with Abby one more time! I would highly suggest Jade & Castle to anyone in search of a great planner that will be with you every step of the way.

It was great working with the Jade & Castle team! As a videographer, it is essential to have a well planned wedding day and timeline. We worked together on a wedding in the Carmel Valley and everything went perfectly to plan. The details were great, the timing was solid, and the communication was also really appreciated. We definitely recommend working with them for your special day!

We hired Jade & Co (Abigail and Monika) for full wedding coordination/planning for our wedding. Throughout the whole process, we encountered many challenges. THE GOOD: — The reception and cocktail hour space that they set up were beautiful. We communicated exactly what we wanted that space to look like, and they did a great job in accomplishing that goal. — The Bridal bouquet and bridesmaid bouquets were gorgeous and fresh. Here are a few of the major issues that we experienced working with them: DAY OF: — We had our ceremony at SF city hall. The coordinators miscommunicated to us that there was no aisle for the bride to walk down. We asked multiple times and they reiterated that there was no aisle. They had us walk in front of all the chairs as we looked over and saw a clearly visible aisle. This was pretty upsetting and disappointing. — One of our vendors (caterer) was extremely late to the reception venue. The groom spent most of the after-ceremony photos speaking to the vendor and wedding coordinators trying to figure out what was happening. We wished that the wedding coordinators had communicated the issue to us as soon as possible, so that we could provide solutions. Instead, we arrived to a reception venue filled with hungry guests. VENDOR RECOMMENDATIONS: We asked if they would be able to provide recommendations for several vendors, including a bartender, event rentals, florist, transportation, video 360 booth, cake, uplighting, officiant, and hair and makeup. They agreed, but they either: — Did not provide any recommendations at all (we found the majority of the vendors on our own); — Provided quotes with incorrect/incomplete information; — Automatically enrolled us with their preferred vendors without confirming with us. We asked them to reach out to an event rental company at the start of the planning process for a quote so that we could compare prices. They said they would and never did this. COMMUNICATION: They should work on improving communication as there were always crucial details that we were never told or told too late. — A day before the wedding, our MC told us that she still had not gotten a final timeline. This is something the wedding coordinators said that they had coordinated and taken care of. We had to put our MC and wedding coordinators into a group chat to finally get the timeline. — They waited three weeks before the wedding to communicate that they had not been able to book the hair/MUA vendor that they initially proposed months in advance, and we would need to quickly (within 24 hrs) select a replacement.
