Quintana Events

The entire Quintana Events team absolutely blew our expectations away! Our planner, Kate, was nothing short of phenomenal. She showcased not only her expertise in the Sonoma / Napa area but also an incredible knack for understanding our vision and making it come to life. Navigating through vendor choices can be overwhelming, but Kate provided invaluable feedback which made things much simpler and more in line with what we wanted. Our wedding day was magical, seamless, and most importantly, the happiest day of our lives. Kate's dedication, passion, and meticulous attention to detail ensured that every moment was perfect. We cannot thank Quintana Events and especially Kate enough for making our dreams come true.

We will remember our wedding day forever but the reason it was so perfect was because of the planning and execution by Alex & the Quintana team! Every detail was so intentional and we felt supported every step of the way. From the vendor recommendations and planning calls, to the day of coordination, Alex and his team took care of us and all the details that really allowed us to enjoy and celebrate in the moment. We will never forget it :)

Heather and the team at Quintana were a joy to work with for our wedding! We had multiple guests come up to us after to rave about their professionalism and kindness. When high winds forced us to move our dancing inside, they jumped into action and made the adjustment seamlessly. We were able to enjoy every moment of our wedding day because we knew Heather and her team had everything under control. From start to finish, the whole experience with Quintana was perfection!

Quintana Events was the best part of our wedding planning. Our wedding planner, Heather, was incredible! Heather, along with the Quintana team, made our wedding a dream come true. We had our first look of our venue before our guests arrived and were in awe of how beautiful it turned out. The professionalism, attention to detail and genuine kindness from Heather and the Quintana team made our wedding day memorable.

Working with the Quintana team was one of the highlights of the wedding experience. I felt secure and reassured throughout the process. I was confident in all the decisions I had to make with Alex's support and encouragement.

Quintana organizes events that are beyond what you expect, even with high standards. Please take our advice and hire them for your wedding or any event you may be planning! We are pleased and grateful… Thank you.

I am so thankful for the team at Quintana. Their attention to detail, relationships with other vendors, and logistical ingenuity gave me the opportunity to plan and execute the wedding of my dreams. I was blown away by the amount of personal service we received after only purchasing their base package. Stephanie made sure every detail was taken care of, so I didn’t have to spend one moment thinking about it on my big day. I would recommend Quintana to anyone who is planning an event. They gave me complete control of the design process but knew exactly when I needed a nudge in a certain direction. They are the definition of true professionals!

Working with Alex and his team was the best decision we made for our wedding. Alex is easy to work with, super responsive, and he genuinely cares about giving you the wedding of your dreams. There are so many details that go into planning a wedding, and Alex helped keep us on track while also making the planning process seamless, stress free, and even enjoyable! On the actual day of our wedding, I did not worry about one single thing. Everything was set up even better than I could have imagined. Alex and his team made sure every detail of the day ran smoothly down to fluffing the train of my dress before walking down the aisle. I cannot recommend Alex and his team more highly–it will be the best decision you make to work with them for your event!

The single best decision we made when planning my daughter's wedding was hiring Alex Quintana to be our wedding planner. He is the consummate professional and at the same time he is warm and caring. We have worked with him over the past 3+ years as the wedding needed to be postponed due to Covid. Throughout that time Alex's calm optimism and his attention to detail saw us through the normal ups and downs that came with planning a wedding during this rather turbulent time, though actually there were not a lot of downs due to Alex's guidance and foresight at every stage of the process. He helped us put together a great team of vendors and helped us find a new venue when we needed to. He is wonderful to work with, direct and honest and open to finding new creative solutions when issues arose. He was always available to answer questions and concerns and coordinated working with vendors and the venue. The wedding was fantastic and went off without a hitch. Due to Alex and his team we were able to just enjoy the wedding and celebrate without worrying about anything! My daughter and son-in-law were absolutely thrilled! Alex has become an honorary member of our family and we are so grateful to him and his team. I cannot recommend him more highly!

Alex Quintana is our KING. We hosted our wedding at our family's winery in Napa where they do not typically have events and it required a ton of logistics, planning, and design. Alex was the perfect person for the job. He worked so well with the staff at the winery, thought of everything (outlets, generators, etc.) that we never would have thought to look into, and gave great advice throughout. Truly we could not have done this event without Alex and the Quintana events team. The day was beyond anything I could have ever imagined and Alex took care of all the problems that came up on the day of -- I honestly had no stress the day of and was able to fully enjoy my wedding. Working with Alex feels like working with a best friend -- I felt like I could ask him anything and he was always available for last minute talks or reassurance. I will truly miss our frequent check-ins and will DEFINITELY be looking to hire him again for any event that needs planning! Furthermore, Alex has an excellent reputation with the most popular vendors in Napa Valley and everyone we worked with on our vendor team was always quick to compliment Alex!

My husband and I worked with Alex for nearly 3 years to plan our wedding (thanks COVID). We would have been lost without him and his team. He is professional in every sense of the word. He helped us navigate changing our venue, and postponing our wedding. He brought us a much needed sense of calm and peace. He made the process fun and enjoyable even through the hard times. On the day of Alex and his team were amazing. They made sure that everything ran perfectly and my husband and I were able to just enjoy our day rather than worry about any logistics. We would recommend him to anyone. Quintana Events is simply the best.

We worked with Quintana for nearly two years because of the pandemic and postponing our wedding 13 months. They were with us every step of the way and answering all of our questions in a timely fashion. Steph and Alex are the two sweetest people ever and it truly was special being able to work with them and have them be part of our special day. Never did we have to worry about anything because they were literally on top of everything and they really pay attention to details! Cannot recommend them enough to plan your big day as they were a dream to work with.

Distinct Locations loves working with the team at Quintana Events! As a fellow vendor and venue representative, the team at Quintana Events delivers to our clients the highest levels of service with ease and grace! You are welcomed back at any of our venues anytime Alex, Heather, Stephanie, and Teina!

This is SO overdue (celebrating 3 years today actually)!! Alex and his team made getting married painless, stress free, and most of all beautiful. With so many timelines, dates, and things to remember, having Alex assist and take up a huge chunk of that responsibility was an absolute dream. Between the phone calls, check-lists, and planning, we were able to pull of the wedding of my dreams and best of all it was done with ease. My mother, to this day, comments on how easy the clean up was when the night was over (she was responsible for coordinating the clean up at my older sister's wedding). It was organized and efficient. My husband and I really loved working with Alex. I recommend him 150%.

Grateful is a term that we could not express more through out the crazy process of a 2020 wedding. Heather and Alex were there for us for everything from emotional talks to re planning an entire wedding to then having to re plan the wedding AGAIN due to wildfires in August/ September 2020. We are incredibly grateful for all that Heather had done for us. Heather helped us plan our dream wedding in Sonoma for late August 2020 a lot of other planners may have thought it would be easier for them and the couple to cancel but Heather was open for any challenge that we brought here. AMAZING. We had to re plan an entire wedding to meet 2020s COVID guidelines. then just to top it off had to re plan again due to wildfires in late September. All in All I highly recommend Heather and Alex for any event, wedding or get together you want to have. They are problem solvers, nice, have an amazing eye for design and will make what you want happen and if what you want doesn't look the best or may not be logical they will give you the best possible option. Grateful for this company. Heather was helpful with planning, telling us the best vendors in the North Bay and the best vendors that would fit our style. She helped us with timelines, she also stayed on us for those timelines. Life gets busy and we would not have had anything close to our dream wedding doing these things on our own. Thank you! The Bennetts.

I couldn't be more thankful for the Quintana Events Team! Our wedding was originally planned for October 2020... as the months passed by & COVID continued to get worse, Alex made sure to keep in touch & talk us through all our options. Ultimately, we decided to postpone our big wedding to October 2021. Alex was such a huge help with informing all our vendors & making the postponement so much easier than I could have imagined. But the thing was... we still wanted to get legally married this year! After chatting with Alex, he told us that some couples were doing a "minimony" this year to officially tie the knot before the big party next year. Once we found a rental home that would work, Alex helped create a whole new rental order, and recommended vendors for catering, florals & photography. *On the day-of, Alex & Stephanie went above & beyond with their duties & COVID precautions. They not only acted as the planner making everything run smoothly, but also managed the music (since we didn't have a DJ), and set up all the rentals/dining tables/personal decor. I am so looking forward to working with the Quintana Team for our big celebration next year, & feel so good knowing we are in the best of hands. (*Note: we only had 12 guests on the day-of since that's all that was allowed in Sonoma at the time, and us & all our guests got tested beforehand)

We used Quintana Events for our wedding coordination for our 2020 wedding. We worked specifically with Heather and she was absolutely AMAZING! With so many unknowns, and constantly shifting plans, our situation was much harder than a normal wedding planning job. Heather was such a great partner and helped us navigate re-scheduling, canceling, and then ultimately putting together a small backyard wedding. Our original plan was to have our wedding in April 2020 for roughly 130 guests. We had to quickly re-schedule to later in the year. Heather was a superstar in giving us advice and checking with all our vendors on what new date will work for everyone. She also gave us advice on how to communicate to our guests the new plans and then ultimately uninviting 90% of our guest list (everyone was so understanding!). We put together a small backyard wedding in the end and did most of the setup for rentals ourselves. Even though we didn't have Heather onsite for our wedding day (wanted to reduce the number of people together), she provided a very detailed outline for the day of and facilitated most of the rental and flower drop offs. We felt very confident in running the rehearsal and wedding day itself on our own only because of all the work Heather did for us! We highly recommend working with Quintana Events!

My husband and I are so happy to have worked with Quintana events for our 2020 wedding! Like many couple this year we had to change/cancel our original wedding (planned for July) which involved a big celebration with friends and family. It was heartbreaking. We were so excited to move forward as husband and wife and hated that the uncertainty with the world and Covid was derailing our plan. With no real timeline for when we could reschedule our big wedding, we decided to look into some elopement options. Quintana Events had just what we were looking for!!! Alex and his team created beautiful wine country elopement packages. There was a few simple and thoughtful options for venues, flowers etc. For a bride, still disappointed from our spoiled plans, this was just what I needed. I didn't want to spend time agonizing over the details, so I was so grateful that Quintana Events had already thought about everything for me. In addition to making these amazing elopements happen, Alex was also extremely patient with me. I was hesitant to make new plans, or set another date as there was a lot of emotion for me in doing this. We had to come to terms with the fact most of family (with the exception of our parents) would not be there. As well, we were at the mercy of any county or state Covid restrictions that were changing daily. Alex understood these dilemmas and held our date for months, before we made the final decision to move forward. We couldn't be happier it all worked out, and that we had the help of Quintana Events!

We couldn't be more grateful to Alex and his team for all their help planning (and replanning) our October 2020 wedding. Our original date was meant to be in April 2020, but like many couples we had to cancel due to Covid-19. Without missing a beat, Alex was there every step of the way for months with advice on next steps and, ultimately, helped us replan a brand new beautiful and intimate wedding. He helped us see the magic in our small gathering and turned it into our perfect wedding. While he legally couldn't be there in person on the day of, he was there in the days leading up organizing everything, setting up the venue and making sure everything ran smoothly on the day of and it totally did! We recommend Quintana Events 100%!

When I got engaged, people warned me how stressful it is to plan a wedding, but those people didn't hire Quintana Events! Alex has the most calming presence and is always one step ahead of any problem with the solution. From the day one, Alex and his team have provided 5 star service. They treat every client as their top priority. Even after having a new baby months before our wedding, Alex didn't skip a beat. Not only is the team at Quintana Events so easy to work with, but they also planned and designed exactly what we envisioned for our wedding. Thanks to their attention to detail and hard work, we were able to live in the moment and not worry about anything at all day of. Our wedding was perfection thanks to Quintana Events! 215 Person July Wedding at Kunde Family Winery

Like most brides, I work full-time, so although I am organized, planning a wedding starting from scratch was not a task I was able to take on. Working with Quintana events made my job so much easier - starting with working off of their list of preferred vendors, I was able to make decisions and put together a team of vendors SO much faster than if I was doing it alone, knowing that these vendors were vetted and recommended by the top-rated Quintana team. On the wedding day, everything ran smoothly and looked exactly how I had dreamed it up in my mind!

Alex and his team were amazing to work with. Alex is very on top of things and communicative. He checked in with me periodically even though I hired him a year in advance of my wedding date. On my wedding day, I didn't have to worry about a thing. Him and his team kept everything in check and decorated the venue exactly as I imagined. I would definitely work with him again in the future for any other events.

Oh my gosh. Alex and the team at Quintana Events went ABOVE and BEYOND for our wedding. I can't recommend them enough!!!! First off, we got married at a vineyard in Sonoma the weekend following the massive, 3-day planned PG&E power outage. We had no idea whether the power would come back on at our venue, the hair salon, the welcome dinner, our Airbnb, or anywhere by the day of the wedding. We NEEDED contingency plans. Alex was right on that! He made sure to figure out what the Plan B was before he even called us to let us know there might be an issue, so that we didn't have to worry. He helped us find a backup for our welcome dinner - which he didn't even help us plan! - and for our hair and makeup. He coordinated with ALL of our vendors to make sure everything would work out ok, and kept us updated on developments promptly and professionally the entire time. It was nerve-racking, but without Alex I really think we would have been completely underwater and overwhelmed. He was a life saver, and me and my family are SO grateful for his tireless help. On the day of the wedding (luckily the power came back on), Alex and the team were professional, cheerful, and organized in helping us get around and get ready. Everything went so seamlessly, and the venue looked beautiful! Alex has been so wonderful since the start. He is so willing to answer any questions, is prompt at replying to all emails, and is just a joy to work with. If you need a wedding coordinator in the area, GO WITH QUINTANA EVENTS. Hands down the best decision we made.

We loved working with Alex and his team. Such a great experience planning our wedding and Alex was so supportive, knowledgeable and easy to work with.

We live in Indianapolis, IN and hired Quintana Events (Alex) to help plan and coordinate our wedding in Sonoma, CA. Hiring Alex was absolutely key in planning an amazing wedding, we couldn't have done it on our own and the day turned out perfect! Alex had a checklist to work from, he provided recommendations for vendors, he coordinated everything and he made our wedding day so very easy, we didn't have to worry about a thing and he was just there in the background making everything happen. He also kept us on track which was HUGE in minimizing any stress before and all of the way to the wedding day. Not only did Alex do a great job he and his team were also just great people to work with. You guys rock!! Thank you so much Alex, we had a blast working with you! Dana and Beau

Wish I could give 6 stars! Alex and Quintana Events are amazing!! We hired Quintana as our Day-Of Coordinators, but Alex was honestly there every step of the way to answer questions or assist with anything we needed help with! We planned our destination Napa wedding all the way from Chicago and Alex did a great job of keeping us informed and managing our planning timeline. It probably didn't help that I had a million and one questions/requests, but he didn't skip a beat and never made us feel like we were behind on anything. On the weekend of our wedding, Alex and team did a GREAT job managing the flow of events and telling our families where to be and when. From getting ready until the end of the reception, they made sure everything flowed perfectly. As a matter of fact, our venue and other vendors all said we were in good hands with Alex as our point person! I would definitely recommend Quintana Events to any bride and groom.

I didn’t feel I had to be an expert be an expert because they were! Wonderful to work with

Alex and his team were absolutely amazing! Alex worked with me from day one, a year and a half out, to help me plan my perfect wedding. My venue had to be changed 3 days before my actual wedding due to the wild fires in Sonoma, and despite all of the craziness going on, Alex and his team got together and helped me to still have the wedding of my dreams. In just 2 days they found me a beautiful new venue! They contacted all of my vendors and ensured they would be able to change locations with me as well. They eased all of my worries, and in the end, they put together a wedding that was more perfect than I could have ever hoped for. I honestly wouldn't have been able to have my wedding if it was for Alex and his amazing team. I really can't thank them enough! =)

Alex came highly recommended to us through several companies - our vineyard, our caterer, even our DJ and we can see why. Alex was our day of planner, but he went above his role to ensure everything was going to run smoothly. Alex touched base with us multiple times throughout the planning and was always available to help! He came with suggested vendors to work with and made sure they worked with our budget, which was extremely helpful. We were told even if something goes wrong at your wedding you will never even know having Alex by your side, which is in fact true. Our day felt perfect (in our eyes) and that was thanks to Alex for keeping everything in line, running smoothly and also having such a positive and calm attitude throughout the entire process. We would highly suggest working with Alex if you are looking for a planner!! We already miss talking to him about our wedding plans :)

Best planners ever! My venue required a "day of planner" and we were so lucky to have Quintana events for our special day. Alex, Heather, and the rest of the team went above and beyond. Their organization was finely detailed and they would check in with me regularly to ensure accuracy. They worked with all our vendors to coordinate setup and deliveries. They led our rehearsal the day prior and on the day of they attended to our every need and want. They are amazing people to work with and were perfect from beginning to end. So thankful to have such a great team by our side for our special day!

Quintana Events was the perfect fit for my husband and I for planning our wedding. We opted for the day of planning option and Alex and his team went above and beyond to ensure our wedding was exactly what we envisioned. They provided prompt responses to our questions and were always available assist us. They formed a timeline to help us stay on track and scheduled multiple phone and in-person meetings. Our wedding day was perfect and we are so thankful we had Alex to help guide us through the entire process!

We were married at Olympia's Valley Estate in Sonoma County this past September and Alex and his team couldn't have been more amazing to work with. They were knowledgeable, organized, proactive but never pushy. They were professional, personable, and very relaxed. Alex has built strong relationships with vendors in all categories. To a person, unsolicited, every vendor we spoke with, told us how much they enjoyed and looked forward to working with Alex and his team. Believe me - this is an incredibly reassuring thing to hear over and over about the person who is helping you plan one of the most important days of your life. Each vendor he recommended suited our style so well and complimented the relaxed vibe we wanted for our wedding day. Our "Day Of" coordinator, Tiffany, possessed a perfect combination of calm, precision, organization and humor. We had worked with both Tiffany and Alex leading up to the wedding day so she was completely familiar and up-to-speed with every little detail. She also did a great job of making sure I kept up with our wedding "to do" timeline. Guest after guest came up to us to let us know how they felt that our whole day was beautiful, personal and that everything felt so relaxed, especially the bride and groom! Alex's experience, confidence and his apparent inability to get ruffled was exactly what I needed in a wedding planner. After our first meeting with Alex, my now husband and I were both sold. Now, after the fact, we are 100 percent certain that we couldn't have chosen any better.

We got to work with Alex and Lacey in the months/days leading up to the wedding and then had Lacey lead the charge day of. They were great! They had great recommendations for other venders and were able to explain why they recommended who they did based on their knowledge of us. And every vender had wonderful things to say about them. Our planning calls with them were fun and stress free. They gave us a great timeline and made sure we were on schedule. I usually have a hard time handing things over but they made it easy and they made sure to take care of the extras that we may never have thought of. It was great having them there to let us know what we needed to think about next. As for the day of the wedding I never noticed anything wrong and will never know if anything did! Lacey and team was on top of everything and the place looked fantastic! Thank you Lacey and Alex, we had so much fun and we had some many people tell us how much fun they had.

Quintana events was great to work with. Our wedding went so smoothly thanks to Alex and his crew. Alex was easily accessible, answered questions and emails very promptly and was really easy to work with. I would highly recommend using Quintana events to anyone. His recommendations for other vendors were spot on.

Choosing Alex as our wedding coordinator was definitely the best decision we made. Throughout the planning process he was such a pleasure to work with and the day of the wedding he went above and beyond to make sure that everything ran smoothly (and that I was blissfully unaware of the things that were not going smoothly). I cannot recommend him enough.

I hired Alex to be my Wedding Coordinator because my venue required us to have a day of coordinator. I wasn't too pleased that I was going to have to spend $$ on one more thing since as we all know weddings are expensive. I can honestly say (and I don't say anything I don't mean esp being a NY chick) the best decision that I made for my wedding was hiring Alex. I only hired him as a day of Wedding Coordinator but he was there the whole way when I was planning the wedding. I live out in NorCal with no friends or family and Alex was always available by phone or e-mail for consultation on decisions on vendors or just a second opinion. I decided I wanted rental furniture and lighting and making the decisions on those items were overwhelming due to the cost and haven't to rely on my own imagination. Alex attended the meetings with me and helped me to design a lounge atmosphere that I could not be decisive on. A few weeks before the wedding, I had a major freak out about the photographers and wanted to fire them (long story). I e-mailed Alex and he called me immediately to talk through my concerns about the photographers. It wasn't until the end of the conversation he mentioned to me he had pulled over on the way back from SoCal. In that converation he was able to talk me down and come up with a plan of action that would ease my fears. On the day of the wedding, Alex was there to talk to me in just the right way when there were situations that were less than perfect. He did have the pleasure of breaking the news to me that some of the furniture that showed up to the venue was not what I wanted. Normally, I know and my now husband that was standing next to me knew, I would have kind of freaked out. Alex had just the right way speaking to a (mostly very uptight) Bride that is extremely calming especially when presented with errors of the day. I am very strict when it comes to time and it was sooo important to me that we stay on schedule. The bus with all my guests weren't at the venue 15 minutes after the wedding was suppose to start. My mom and bridesmaids saw me stressing and tried to calm me which I think was making me more annoyed. Alex came in and said something totally calming and I was fine. The day commenced eventually and Alex was my go to person. He was very behind the scenes (think totally not David Tutera). I like to joke he was like a Ninja. I have to say my parents, especially my dad didn't understand the need of a Wedding Coordinator but thought Alex was extremely professional and was so happy he was there for the entire day. Most of my guests told me that it was the best wedding that they ever went to and then followed it by saying "I'm not just telling you because it was your wedding." I owe a lot of that credit to Alex. He executed the day almost flawlessly and when there were bumps he managed the Bride (me) VERY well. I reccommend a Wedding Coordinator to every Bride now after Alex but I only hope that all Coordinators are as professional, organized, involved and soothing as Alex.

Alex is a total professional! He was incredibly organized, helpful, full of resources, calm and kept the day flowing beautifully! On top of being a wonderful person! I would highly recomend him to any bride!

I used Quintana for day of services. Alex, the owner was involved every step of the way. I met with him several times to review my needs and my vision. I felt very confident with him and his team. Very reasonably priced. The day of two of his team members were there and made everything run smoothly. I was able to enjoy my wedding and practically forgot that they were there! Perfect!

We used Alex as our wedding coordinator and were very happy with they way the day turned out. The set up was amazing, the day ran smoothly and we didn't have any issues with the entire evening. Even though we were coming from Boston to get married in Sonoma, he was able to get a sense of who were and create a beautiful day for us. He recommended vendors to us who fit our budget and personality and they did a fabulous job as well. I would recommend Alex for your wedding or any event.

I am so glad that we decided to hire Quintana Events. Alex was so professional and had great ideas. The day of my wedding I didn’t have to worry about a thing. Alex and his staff were on top of it. I was so please to work with Quintana Events, they went above and beyond my expectations. I would definitely recommend them to anyone thinking of hiring an event planner!!!

Quintana Events was great! Specifically, Alex, made our wedding day amazing. All the little and big details were taken care of with ease. I didn't feel any stress and I knew everything was going to be taken care of. The flow of the ceremony and reception was exactly how we pictured it. The day was perfect. I am so glad we decided on Quintana Events!

I hired Alex as my day-of coordinator. He was absolutely perfect!! He did so much more than other day-of coordinators were offering, and did it all very well. He made us a timeline, got everyone to the major highlights on time (first dance, speeches, etc), brought our basic supplies for the florist to our venue early in the morning, and he went to our rehearsal. He was always there when I needed him, but never in the way or obvious. I felt very confident in his organization and abilities- he even called all my vendors the week before my wedding and helped calm down two fighting vendors.
