Perfectly Planned

he day of. Yvonne really took the time to get to know us and understand what our vision was and gave us great pointers and recommendations. She would always respond in a timely manner to my emails and texts and really memorized my day of plans. I felt I could completely trust her to execute and she did a stellar job following my rambling notes down to the tee. She literally made my wedding day what it was and I am so incredibly grateful for her. Anyone should consider themselves incredibly lucky and blessed to be working with Yvonne!

. She guided us though the whole process, set up a timeline, budget, floor map and so many other details that came with her tons of experience planning so many weddings and events before. She knew how stressful the process can be, so she was always trying to help, coming up with suggestions, reminding us with what needs attention on a timely manner, to make sure everything stays on course. We had to make so many changes with our plans, and not only was she always very flexible and tried to accommodate such changes and needs, she was very supportive and tried to propose alternative whenever needed. On the wedding day, Yvonne and her stuff were working non stop to make sure every thing went according to the plan, they helped us set up extra decorations that we got, help with setting up the wedding theme, guide our guests, vendors and the bridal party. It was a long and memorable day, and Yvonne did a great job in helping everyone sticking with the plan and timeline, coordinating between the vendors, communicating to us clearly to help us and the party sticking to the plan, and taking care of any situations that might need attention. She did an amazing job, the day went according to plan, she tried to make the process as stress free as possible, everyone left with great and happy memories, and above all, it was always assuring to have her around throughout the day. We knew we were in good hands. Thank you very much for everything Yvonne.

she was direct and up-front about important things like cost and rules and timelines, which alleviated stress and cut through ambiguity. She worked with our specific requests without any kind of judgment or nudging to increase the cost of the wedding, something inherent to lots of aspects in the wedding industry. Yvonne clearly had a lot of experience with hosting weddings, and was able to manage many little details for us (i.e. how the space should be arranged for dinner, how much time is needed for a speech or first dance, whether our officiant should use a podium or a folder, etc etc etc). When you don't know what you don't know, Yvonne could be relied on. Lastly, Yvonne was really cool so having her around throughout the process was a fun little bonus!

ning process and on your wedding day. I don't even want to think about how the entire process would have gone without Yvonne - thank goodness I don't have to. She's the best!

able and relatable. Every conversation we had we walked away knowing she understood exactly what we wanted and would make it happen. We knew that she was going to make our wedding wonderful with as little stress to us. Yvonne handled everything with ease and worked well with all our other vendors so our wedding day went flawlessly. She checked in with us throughout the day and kept the timeline moving all without us ever feeling stressed or wondering what time it was. She made sure we had private time with appetizers before dinner and had food and drinks brought to our table during the reception. I know that Yvonne can handle anything thrown her way and I would trust her completely to plan my wedding. Thanks for everything, Yvonne!

dding day). She also was extremely thoughtful—helped guide us through the day and made sure we had time to ourselves/got an opportunity to eat in between photo sessions. Throughout the process, Yvonne was responsive, easy to work with, and hilarious! You will not regret working with Yvonne and her team!

ommunicative in setting expectations for both us as the couple as well as herself the venue. It was helpful knowing those expectations because we knew exactly what to do and felt supported whenever we had questions. We were very fortunate to work with her for our wedding.

special day. She is detailed oriented and made sure everything was perfect on the day of the wedding -- from the welcome sign to the cake cutting and the last dance! We knew we were in good hands on our wedding day and could focus on enjoying celebrating with family and friend instead of stressing about the little details. Yvonne handled it all and our wedding day turned out to be one of the most memorable days of our lives. We can't speak more highly of Yvonne. She is professional, thoughtful, personable and just a wonderful person. A year after our wedding, she invited us back to the wedding venue to have dinner and celebrate our one year anniversary. It was an incredibly warm gesture! We highly recommend Yvonne for planning any special occasions! She will go above and beyond to make sure your event will be Perfectly Planned!

No detail is too small for her to notice and take care of. She approaches wedding planning and design with thoughtfulness, kindness, intelligence, and fun. This approach was consistent during our 2.5-year experience with her and the club (our wedding was initially March 2020 and was rescheduled to March 2022).

Yvonne understood our wants/needs on the big day. Her attention to detail was superb. To ensure we had enough time for everything she carefully planned out our day knowing there were certain items we needed done on the day of. To start doorgames! Yvonne knew this would be the start of the day and generally may take some time of the games to finish, so she perfectly planned out various tasks/challenges that best suited the groom/groomsmen in addition to staying on track for our packed scheduled. Examples of some of the games: 1st round “How well do you know your wife” for every question wrong, each groomsman would have to carry the groom in a different “child” position since I used to be a babysitter. There were a few other rounds in between, but the last game was having them “sing” to me while the groomsmen either danced or was backup singers. Because Yvonne took the time the get to know the parties, she assigned dancers knowing some groomsmen wouldn’t, and preferred singing vice versa to make it fun and interesting. After the doorgames was the tea ceremony on my side (the brides) family. If anyone knows it gets very chaotic during the first few hours, with many family members crowding around, and having to have a new set of teacups and tea poured each time. Thankfully Yvonne knew ahead of time what was needed and was able to assign tasks for the bridal party to get ready. From the pillows on the floor, to the flow of tea being poured, we were able to go through each family we had to pour tea for in a timely manner. We had quite a lot of travel day of so Yvonne really helped our vendors keep on track. She was able to plan out the timing so that when we arrived at my husband’s side of the family the photographers were able to capture the first and last moments. Lastly our wedding reception. We had our celebration at a restaurant, so décor was something challenging to work with as the space couldn’t be changed too much. During this process Yvonne really helped captured what we both enjoyed/like. For starters the centerpieces. We didn’t want too much floral but also didn’t want empty tables. She came up with the idea of having fishbowls in every other table with goldfish to capture my husbands love for fishing, and we can raffle off the centerpieces. All in all, Yvonne was very organized and thoughtful throughout this process for my husband and I. She reminded us of what certain tasks needed to be done, even if we couldn’t make those deadlines, she was able to make it work for us. She ensured that we didn’t have to worry about the backend of things, and that we just needed to be present. I entirely trusted the process with her and thankful she took the time to sit with me to understand the wants and needs ahead of time and asked for my input as needed. The best decision for us was working with her and being open to her ideas.

enuine, and she helps you to understand all the details and costs that you may be anxious about. Hire her!!

always looking out for me and husbands best interest. All the changes went to the new date smoothly and everything leading up to the event was properly adjusted. When 2021 finally came around we were so excited to start the planning process again and with the help of Yvonne and the team it was perfect. The menu tasting was delicious and gave us a full scope of the evenings options. Yvonne provided great suggestions that allowed us to adjust our choices without having to taste them. She helped with my reception arrangement and all the decor. It was a true blessing to be able to explain my vision to Yvonne and have her bring it to light! The night went off without a hitch…she knew what to do and when to do it all at the perfect moment to ensure the day went perfectly. Beyond blessed to have had her by my side through this process.

er clients and their guests, but also the staff and vendors working with her. Her knowledge and experience, along with her unstoppable energy, ensures that your event will be everything that's "perfectly planned."

moothly and she remembered every small detail. She kept the event moving along seamlessly. We love Yvonne and we were so happy that she was part of our special day! So much so that we returned for our Anniversary just to say 'hi'. Highly recommend her for event planning!

y daughter was living in Washington DC and I live in southern California so we could not just pop in and see Yvonne, so she was very responsive to our needs. The wedding went off without a hitch and she was there throughout to ensure everything went smoothly. The day was perfect and so many guests raved about the food and the service. I thought after the reception that we had to pack up all our personal items we brought for the wedding (chargers, easels, guest table items) Yvonne packed up everything for us and stored it in a safe location so that the next morning we loaded them into our vehicles. I would not hesitate to use her again. She was great!!

wedding, everything went so smoothly and we were able to fully enjoy the day. Highly recommend!

s able to ease our fears about different wedding details, so we could focus on others. An example of this is our wedding menu. We explained to Yvonne we were looking for a menu to accommodate our Indian and Italian families. We threw a bunch of ideas at her and she ran with them. After our tasting, I wasn’t nervous any more, about anything. The food was amazing; I’ve never been to a wedding where so many people talked about how good the food was. She was extremely easy to work with, very professional and down to earth at the same time. We had a fantastic wedding that exceeded our expectations and Yvonne was a big reason why. We highly recommend her.

y of our wedding, she coordinated all activities seamlessly and made the day super special for us. We highly recommend working with her!

everything. She was very accommodating of our wishes from the smallest details like how we wanted our table setting to look like and how the welcome table should look to big things like the food options and making sure our spread was bountiful. Yvonne would also offer her expert opinions on things we weren't sure about like mixing table sizes to fit all our guests, general timeline for the day, and even built in time for hiding and resting to not feel overwhelmed day-of. You and your special day will be in such capable hands with Yvonne at the helm!

e always made me feel like I was her only client and her first concern. The week leading up to the wedding and the day of went off and not one single issue came up. If there was a problem, I never knew, and Yvonne handled it. Yvonne will be the first call I make when my other daughter gets married.

and full of helpful advice and recommendations. We'd 100% recommend Yvonne's services and felt she was an integral part of executing our perfect day; coordinating with vendors while making sure we were clear on timelines (even managing questions from family!). She really had a vested interest in ensuring we enjoyed the event, as did our wedding guests.

anges, tastings, rehearsals, and wedding day itself, she dedicated herself to executing on our vision, and providing guidance and advice where needed. Yvonne is a joy to be around with an infectious energy that we immediately connected with. Her emails back and forth were incredibly responsive and thorough. On the day of the wedding, she was super proactive and made sure all the pieces of the day moved like clockwork. At no point in the planning process or the wedding day did we have reason to worry about the items under Yvonne's direction, which allowed us to enjoy the day and be more present for each other. We're so thankful that Yvonne was our partner and cannot recommend her more.

mber 2018) to her comforting words and presence just seconds before I walked down the aisle to my now husband (July 2019), Yvonne was right there. Any questions I had or just needed to run an idea through, Yvonne was there via phone, text, email, in person-you name it. Wedding planning is just plain stressful and you need that go to person there by your side (aside from your partner of course!) to help carry out your vision. Yvonne was there through all the good, the bad and the ugly to keep me sane through it all. I still get emotional thinking about her role as my wedding planner and how she went above and beyond for me every step of the way. These lasting memories, I will never forget. I highly recommend hiring Yvonne as your wedding planner for your upcoming wedding. She is an expert in her field and I can’t express how comforting it is to know you will be in good hands throughout this exciting chapter in your life.
