The Best Wedding for You

My husband and I had Julie Scrivener as our wedding planner for our wedding in August 2022. She was so fun to work with and really helpful with all the planning. My husband and I are so happy our wedding went off without a hitch. We weren’t stressed at all thanks to all her help! We highly recommend hiring Julie Scrivener (and Mick Scrivener) for your wedding! 😊

Julie made our wedding day so much fun and stress free! She took care of every detail so that I could truly relax and enjoy the day, which is rare for most brides! She was so personable and sweet from the start. She is honest and dependable, and you won’t be disappointed if you hire her for your big day! She was easily the best decision I made for my wedding.

We hired Julie as our month-of coordinator for our wedding at the Darlington House on 9/29/23 and she was wonderful to work with! We loved that Julie had worked at the venue a ton before so she really knew it inside & out. You can tell that Julie has been in the business a long time which was super helpful. She was available to help answer all of our questions until she took over the coordination with all vendors the month prior and that took a lot off our plates. What I really appreciated about Julie was that she doesn't mess around. She knows her stuff, is quick to make decisions, she'll rally everyone together, she gets things done. Our day went off without a hitch, literally no issues and I think a huge part of that was because of Julie. She even kept her composure when some groomsmen ran off right before the ceremony to get pizza!! It was the best day of our lives, thank you Julie for everything!!!

Julie is the best. She was our month of coordinator for our wedding this past Saturday. She is friendly, professional and knowledgeable. She is organized and thorough. The day of our wedding could not have gone smoother thanks to her. She is worth every penny and I would recommend her to anyone!

Julie was professional, friendly, and easy to work with! She made planning smooth and we had a stress-free wedding day thanks to her. She has very reasonable prices, and also worth every penny! She kept in great contact despite us moving out-of-state. Thank you Julie!

This review is LONG overdue! We got married 7.4.2022 at Etherial Gardens but our original date was 2.25.2021. Due to the pandemic, we needed to reschedule our wedding date. Julie was amicable, professional, attentive, and willing to get on calls with us throughout the covid ordeal. What we loved about Julie is that although there was a long period between our original date and new wedding date, she was extremely organized with the original notes from the venue, us, and any discussions we had with the vendors. Plus, she has excellent relationships and connections with the local vendors. Julie doesn't play around either! She tells it how it is and won't sugarcoat things for you. She will let you know if something is a good idea or not but will always side with what you want as a couple. The day of our wedding, we did not notice ANYTHING WRONG. If anything did happen, we weren't aware or she fixed it right away. She made the whole day flow flawlessly. I would HIGHLY recommend Julie as your wedding planner. We booked her for the month but honestly, the month service became almost a two year service commitment. She is reasonably priced for her years of expertise and you can't beat her price compared to other wedding planners that may offer less services in their packages. She went ABOVE AND BEYOND for booking her for the month of coordination service. I am a very hands on person so I loved planning my wedding but Julie was the icing on the cake I needed. That last month before your wedding, YOU WILL NEED HELP and of course, the day of your wedding. Our venue provided in-house event coordinators but Julie completed the team. Again, highly recommend Julie, from The Best Wedding For You in San Diego, CA for your wedding, whether it is for the month of coordination, month of coordination Plus, or a full service coordination. Oh and her husband is a DJ too! PS: For some reason, The Knot won't let me post pictures but I have on the other popular review site, Yelp.

In looking for a wedding planner for our wedding day, Julie Scrivener came highly recommended by our wedding venue, the Japanese Friendship Garden at Balboa Park. It was apparent from our first conversation that Julie was passionate and a seasoned veteran when it came to San Diego wedding planning. Her connections to fabulous vendors that she had built great relationships and repertoire with was an unparalleled asset when it came to planning our wedding. Julie was communicative, patient, kind and insightful through multiple COVID postponements from the start of planning our wedding in early 2019 to finally celebrating July 3, 2022. Julie particularly shined through on the day of our wedding - everything went smoothly and calmly, and Julie made sure that my husband & I were well taken care of. Thank you, Julie, for the years of planning and for being such an important part of our special once in a lifetime day!

Julie has to be the most talented wedding planner in the world. I cannot imagine having another planner for the most special day of our lives. Not only did she make our entire day function with no obstacles, but, she made the whole process of wedding planning so much fun. Julie is a master at her craft and worth so much more. She made sure we were living in the moment every second of the day with no worries and always stress free. It was the most beautiful day of my life and everything was absolutely perfect. My husband and I have an inside joke that "we wish Julie was handling this". Florida is so lucky she moved. We miss you Julie!

Julie is AMAZING and I highly recommend hiring her! We hired her for the month of plus wedding coordinator services and I’m so glad we did. She is very professional, attentive, responsive and communicated everything throughout the process and made it easy. She was always calm and made everyone feel at ease and we felt confident that the day would be seamless which it was! Our wedding day was perfect and if anything went wrong, we didn’t even know about it thanks to Julie! Julie is also very well connected within the industry and had a great list of recommendations for each vendor category. Every vendor I hired knew Julie and also had wonderful things to say about her and her services. Thanks Julie for making our wedding day so special and seamless! It was so wonderful working with you!!

Julie is AMAZING! She was our month-of coordinator and we could not be more absolutely pleased with her work ethic and how she treated us. She is a great communicator. She was such a godsend on the day of our wedding. We could not have asked for a better person to walk us thru the whole day, the level of attentiveness and effectiveness is bar none. I'm so happy we met and worked with Julie.

Julie was fantastic! Our wedding was supposed to be in 2020 and then 2021 and then finally in 2022. She stuck around and restarted the processes every time and was always on the ball. She offered great suggestions when we were out of our element and rolled with any suggestions we had. My husband and I are serial procrastinators and she was able to make sure everything got done and gave us the pressure we needed to follow through. She also dealt with my mom who could be a lot. Truly an experienced, competent, and special planner. Highly recommend!

Julie is the best! She helped us relax, knowing that everything was in good hands. She made our wedding day run smoothly and organized. Would highly recommend her for any of your wedding planning needs. Thank you Julie!!!

Julie is amazing on all fronts- organized, professional, knowledgeable. We did the month of coordinator. She is reasonably priced and as a couple made of graduate/medical students that was something important to us. She is also very nice and helpful. When our wedding was postponed twice (i.e. 3 different wedding dates) due to the covid pandemic, she was flexible and willing to continue to work with us. I will say to look at what the wedding coordinator option includes: we didn't realize that creating a layout of the venue (i.e. where tables, chairs, DJ, cake, buffet, etc.) was supposed to be completed by us and not her. (Thankfully she helped us create a layout as she knew the venue and was able to give her input!!) Only thing that probably could've been improved (and it's very minute) was the creating the "day of schedule" on word doc and having us edit and send to her... it probably would have been easier to create a google doc because then we could just comment/edit at the same time. But she's been in the business for 10+ years so she has a method that works for her! On the wedding day itself, Julie was very organized and if there were mini fires (or really any fires) we had no idea because she was able to handle it all so we could enjoy our wedding worry/stress free. Would 100% choose to work with Julie and recommend you all to do the same too!

Julie did an amazing job! Day of she was efficient, detail-oriented, communicative, and resourceful as needed. Our event went off without a hitch (that we know of) because Julie was everywhere making sure things were just perfect! Thank you, Julie :)

Julie was the best part of planning our wedding, no doubt! She was prompt, professional, and attentive to our needs as a couple and as wedding planners. We had several specific needs that Julie went above and beyond to accommodate without question or added cost, her ability to adapt to whatever came up from us or vendors was incredible. She was always willing to meet via Zoom (due to the pandemic and distance between us) whenever needed with a smile. Dealing with vendors for the wedding she was always on top of the details and spared no effort in getting everything straightened out as soon as possible. We could not have done this wedding without Julie at our side the whole time, she was absolutely the valuable part of our planning phase!

Julie Scrivener is an outstanding wedding planner and did such a wonderful job with our August 2021 wedding! We interviewed a few planners and chose her, and are so glad we did. She was very professional, organized, detail-oriented and guiding without being pushy. She gave us endless direction, ideas, options, but always reminded us "this is your wedding so you can do whatever you'd like!" Our wedding day went perfectly thanks to Julie's organization, planning & hard work. We also went with her "team" package and used her husband DJ Mick as our DJ. He is super entertaining and really had a knack for the small details that are involved in the vibe of the evening. They both really knew how to set expectations for our guests to let them know we were all going to have a blast! 5 stars plus!!!

I cannot say enough good things about our fairy godmother aka wedding planner Julie! Where do I begin. I grew up in San Diego and moved away after college but always dreamed about coming home to get married. I just want to say whether you are a local or long distance bride Julie goes above and beyond in every way to make your day the best it can be! Not only is she the sweetest lady but she truly cares about what she does. She starts about three months before your wedding with every referral you could possibly imagine! From our grooms cake to room blocks at Lowes for our out of town guests (including us). Then a month before she really gets into all the details including a four page information page where she goes over every possible detail she may need to know! From the moment you walk in to the moment you leave! She coordinated our entire timeline which was so difficult to nail down. She put out our name cards, and decorated our plates with cookies and custom m&m’s not to mention taking down our floral arch from our ceremony and putting it on our sweetheart table. We literally would not have been able to get married in my home town without Julie!. Julie I cannot thank-you enough for making this wedding one we will remember all our lives! I highly recommend her.

Julie is truly a life saver! By far the best money we spent on our wedding was having Julie help us with the entire planning process! She is worth every penny! We had a COVID-postponed wedding and would have been incredibly stressed if it wasn't for her amazing coordination! Throughout the 2-year long wedding process, she was always extremely responsive, organized and really helped us plan for things we never even considered! Especially on the wedding day, it was amazing how well everything was coordinated and she really helped to keep us on schedule. Julie also did so much behind the scenes to coordinate with our wedding vendors, which took everything off our plate! I truly recommend her services to everyone and highly recommend getting the full package! You won't be sorry!

My husband and I hired Julie (and Mick) for our wedding and we're so glad we did. Julie helped us with everything from sourcing and booking vendors to day-of coordination services. She was so helpful throughout the entire process and was an invaluable source of knowledge for us to draw on as we figured out different aspects of our wedding weekend. Julie did an amazing job juggling all the moving pieces leading up to (and on the day of) the wedding. On our wedding day, everything ran so smoothly thanks to her attention to detail, professionalism, and poise. She even managed to help our groomsmen pull off a big last minute surprise without disrupting the flow of the wedding at all! Honestly, Julie is fantastic and I would highly recommend her. She'll make sure your day is flawless.

Julie was so incredible from start to finish! She always made us feel like we were her most important couple, and was quick and attentive wit her communications. She was able to recommend vendors within our budget for every aspect of our ceremony and even hung in there with us when we had to postpone for a year due to covid. On the day of our big event, everything went smoothly and perfectly. If there were any hiccups, we wouldn't have known because Julie kept everything moving on her end so we could just enjoy our day. I highly recommend her to anyone in San Diego looking for a wedding planner.

My husband and I both agree that hiring Julie was the best decision we made for our wedding. Looking back I have no idea what we would have done without her. We originally hired Julie for our 2020 wedding that due to the pandemic needed to be postponed to 2021. Once we made the decision to move our date Julie immediately contacted all our vendors and gave us new dates that worked for everyone. I head so many horror stories about couples trying to postpone but ours was so easy and that was all due to the hard work of Julie. You wouldn’t have even known it was her first pandemic! Julie made every part of the process of planning our wedding easy. She has contacts with the best vendors, including her husband Mick who was our incredible DJ! Our wedding day was perfect and I didn’t need to think or stress about anything. Julie was incredibly organized and has her weddings down to a science. I can’t recommend her services enough!

We would not have made it through the wedding planning process without Julie! She helped us with vendor selection, logistics, day of timeline, and answered our many, many questions along the way. She also helped us postpone due to the pandemic, which made a very stressful process as easy as it could have been! She was also very sensitive to family member's safety concerns and came up with great ideas to keep everyone comfortable. The day of our wedding went so smoothly and everyone was able to relax and completely enjoy the day, all thanks to Julie!

Highly recommend Julie! We used her month of plan and she took care of all vendors seamlessly. Our day of had no hiccups and everything was in her control. Cannot recommend her enough for organization, timeliness, and ease of the planning process!

Julie was fantastic. My daughter decided to put together an entire wedding in about 6 weeks. Julie was extremely organized, recommended several vendors and all were great. She kept my daughter focused on the big picture and letting the little stuff go since we didn't have time for everything.

Julie was the wedding planner for my sister’s wedding back in 2015. She did such an amazing job I knew that I knew I had to hire her as mine when I got married. During these Covid times, having a wedding planner is an absolute must. Julie was such a huge asset to me during the stress of planning this wedding. I am an anxiety ridden person and she helped me to calm down many different times. Even from the start I had an emotional breakdown deciding between two different venues. I sent an email to her late that night in tears and she immediately got back to me and gave all this great advice to help me make that big decision. We had to postpone our wedding and Julie was so helpful in coordinating with vendors to find a new date. She has so much knowledge and experience in the wedding business that she has many great suggestions and vendor contacts that will ensure your day turns out amazing. She is exceptionally organized and the materials she provides you will help you stay organized as well. She was a joy to work with the entire two years up until my wedding. Julie really shines though on the actual day of the wedding. If it wasn’t for her, I would have been a stressed-out mess. Even the morning of the wedding we had a groomsman and guests drop out and Julie took care of all the changes that needed to happen. I knew I could put all of my trust in her. We had a couple situations come up at the wedding and she quickly and quietly took care of these. She even bustled my dress for me when my mom and sister were having issues with it. I can’t stress how much of a relief it is to have Julie around on your big day. She is just fantastic. Even more so, she is married to an amazing DJ and they are the dynamic duo. I would definitely recommend Julie as your wedding planner and her husband Mick as the DJ for your wedding!

Julie is an absolute professional and so easy to work with . She is extremely organized , quick on responding and knows who the right vendors and ensures your day goes smoothly. We are so happy with Julie and highly recommend her!

Where do I begin?! Julie is AMAZING! Prior to our wedding I had pretty much zero wedding experience so Julie had her work cut out for her with us! Haha She recommended a florist who we loved and helped set up everything like the photo booth and dessert! Julie is so organized and reliable. 2 things all brides can appreciate! She is also very kind and patient. Once the pandemic hit things were planned, replanned and replanned again but Julie was always there for us! She kept my sanity during a time of so much uncertainty with sticking to safe guidelines and keeping everyones health a top priority. In October 2020 we had a small, intimate ceremony which truly was the most beautiful, stress free, best day of our lives. We truly got to be in the moment. My husband and I could not have asked for a better wedding day. We highly recommend Julie! Thank you so much for everything!

Julie was great! She was super flexible during our stressful times of having a wedding during the pandemic and made our day flawless! It is absolutely necessary to have a day of coordinator- and Julie's services go well beyond that!! Thank you, Julie!!

I seriously do not know what I would have done without Julie. After having to postpone our date twice and change venues three times we decided to hire Julie to help us pull off our perfect day. She was so organized, professional and on top of everything. She thought of things I would never have even considered. We did our wedding on private property so no venue which mean we had to do it all and she seriously helped coordinate and pull everything together. If I had to give any bride any advice it would be to hire Julie!!! I couldn't stop telling my parents leading up to the day how thankful I was to have Julie in my life!!

Julie might be the perfect wedding planner; experienced, patient, full of ideas when you need them and supportive of yours when you don't. She listens, responds to emails promptly and has some great, easy-to-use tools to keep you on track. She knows the most reliable vendors in the business and every one we worked with was exceptional. We made big changes to the plans just 3 days before the wedding, moving the reception indoors due to weather, and it didn't phase her. She re-arranged the plans, and made the day seamless. Having her expertise on the day to coordinate all the vendors and keep the logistics of the party coordinated were simply invaluable; she gave me a priceless gift of being able to focus on my new husband, family and friends. Julie was the most important vendor at our wedding and I can't have imagined pulling it all off without her. Thank you Julie.

THANK YOU Julie at "The Best Wedding For You!" A few words to describe Julie: considerate, experienced, professional, friendly, detail-oriented, empathetic, efficient, communicative, punctual, responsive, helpful, and resourceful. Julie's month-of-coordination services was the perfect fit for our needs. I am comfortable with contracts, vendors, budgeting, and basic scheduling... but once our wedding was just 30 days away, knowing that Julie was in ultimate coordinator-mode over the details truly helped me relax and enjoy our once-in-a-lifetime celebration. Julie was on the preferred vendor list for our venue, and she has absolutely earned her great reputation. One thing I particularly admired about how she works, is that she is an EFFICIENT COMMUNICATOR who is clear, concise, and friendly all at once. She is a calm, natural leader who knows all the ins and outs, and works amazingly well with every vendor to bring it all together. It is my impression that she approaches every wedding with great care, love, and respect. My sweetheart (and now-wife!) and I had the wedding of our dreams. And we want to say THANK YOU Julie for all your help and support. I would highly recommend her services.

I'll preface this with the fact that I am a psycho, type A, control freak and although I knew I needed help, I also knew it would be hard to give up control. That being said, Julie was one of the better decisions we made when it came to vendors. This woman makes it look easy. She tackled every problem, every snag, every step of the wedding with ease. She managed every vendor, she brought the entire wedding to life. I was in awe at what she was able to accomplish, how smooth it went and how easy she made the day. I was not an easy bride and Julie is an angel for managing my wedding! We had to move the reception indoors last minute and that was as easy as pie to Julie. Honestly, I never saw her sweat! I would highly recommend Julie as your wedding planner. She brought my vision to life and I can't thank her enough!

I was on the fence about having a coordinator because I knew I’d be planning the wedding on my own and was confident in my ability. I decided to hire Julie as a day-of coordinator and I’m so happy with that decision. If you doubt your own ability to plan meticulous details, I’d even recommend hiring her for more than day-of. Julie is so professional, communicates well with very clear emails, and is incredibly responsive. She has thought of everything- things you’ll likely forget or overlook- and she gets things done. I was pretty stressed on my wedding day and it was such a relief knowing I had her to make sure things ran smoothly. She kept things on schedule at the reception, she boxed us up food to make sure we actually ate, and stayed at the end of the night to help us clean up and pack up all our things. I was so pleased with both her and her husband (elite British DJ) and feel like I chose so wisely with them as a pair. I’d recommend her without hesitation. Stop looking for a planner/coordinator- you just found the best!

Julie is so fantastic!!!! My mom and I had gone back and forth about if we needed a month-of coordinator, and luckily when we decided to hire one, Julie was still available! She made our wedding day run so smoothly, I can’t imagine having our wedding without her! She knew every detail about our wedding day like the back of her hand. We had a couple meetings with her beforehand, including one at our venue since she had never been there before and she wanted to make sure she was prepared. On the day of our wedding, Julie was so amazing! She was great at making sure we both had everything we wanted and needed. She also wanted to make sure we were calm and not nervous all day as well! She did a fantastic job of making sure everything we brought to have her set out was done and in place when she got there. Julie was also great at making sure everybody was where they needed to be during our family photos. Even when my brother (who was walking my mom down the aisle) ripped his pants 20 minutes before the ceremony started, Julie remained calm and made sure we had a sewing kit to fix them. I couldn’t imagine not having Julie at our wedding making sure everything was running smoothly! My mind was 100% at ease knowing Julie was taking care of everything!

Before even having our venue or official wedding date my husband and I knew without a doubt Mick & Julie would be our DJ and coordinator. We have been to countless weddings done by them and each and every one was so much fun, and everything ran so smoothly. They are PHENOMENAL. They are truly the dream team, and our wedding would not have been such a hit without them. If I could recommend 1 thing to anyone wedding planning it would book them now! You will not regret it!!!

Julie at The Best Wedding for You was ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! I could not have hosted such a beautiful wedding without Julie's help. Julie is extremely experienced and knowledgeable about weddings...from the planning and preparing, to the actual wedding day. She always had great advice, suggestions and ideas when I needed them. Julie's assistance in coordinating our vendors and the timeline for the wedding day was invaluable, as was her help with our dress rehearsal. Her assistance on the wedding day was fabulous! As the mother of the bride, I was able to relax and enjoy my daughter's wedding because Julie was there to take care of all the details, coordinated all the major events during the wedding, and handled any issues that came up during the wedding and got them resolved asap! Not only is she a true professional (responsive, timely, organized, pays attention to detail), but she has the perfect personality to take charge when necessary, in a caring and tactful way. I always felt secure and comfortable knowing Julie was there to help me any time I needed her, before or during the wedding. Our guests were so impressed with Julie's ability to multi task and make sure everything was just right, and be so much fun at the same time. I recommend Julie as your wedding planner/coordinator without any reservation! She is absolutely THE BEST!!

Julie was fantastic every step of the process. Over the course of the 9-month wedding planning process, I finished grad school, prepared for a board exam, and started a new job, and Julie kept everything wedding-related running smoothly while still checking in at every step to make sure that the day was exactly what we wanted--and it was! Julie is an invaluable resource for everything from vendor referrals to creating the perfect timeline. I am not great at event planning, and Julie really helped ask the right questions to make sure that my husband and I had a really special day. The day of, she truly went the extra mile to make the day run seamlessly. Julie is the best!

We used Julie's month-of-coordination services for our wedding, and we could not be happier that we did! We spoke with several coordinators before making our decision, but once we spoke with Julie, we knew immediately she was the right choice! Beginning a month before the wedding (when our contract started), I found Julie to be incredibly detail oriented, very responsive, and full of great ideas and advice! During the planning process, Julie thought of details I would have not have thought about otherwise. She created a the perfect timeline for the wedding - we would have been at a total loss in this area without her expertise. Our timeline was tight since we did not do a first look, but Julie was able to prioritize sunset photos and fit in all our wedding day events seamlessly even when our wedding fell 10 mins behind. Because of Julie, we did not have to worry about details and we could enjoy our wedding without stress. We thank Julie so much for her hard work and attentiveness. We had the most beautiful and perfect day thanks to her!

The Best Wedding for You is a 10/10 I cannot explain what a life saver Julie was. She knows amazing vendors and will lead you in the right direction. On the day of the wedding we did not have to worry about anything and all of my bridesmaids were so impressed by her! I would HIGHLY recommend using Julie! (And her husband Mick is an amazing DJ!)

I don't know what else to say about Julie short of that she's an AMAZING WONDER WOMAN. Hiring Julie for the month leading up to my wedding was hands down the best thing I could have done. Without her, I feel as though I wouldn't have been able to be the cool, calm, and collected bride I was on my wedding day. Julie was totally on it from the get go- she made sure my wedding went on without a hitch even though we had a chance of rain. Compliments galore of how perfect my wedding looked and how smoothly my wedding went- from aesthetics to timing, etc. The biggest compliment I received from people was that my wedding was so relaxed and that they felt like they really were on vacation. In addition to Julie's help on the big day, she helped me pull off the very difficult task of surprising my fiance with an art show the night before. Julie was super helpful in executing such a fun event for all our guests. The way she put everything together and coordinated pickups of items was a slam dunk! If you're looking for someone who can take your vision and execute it without stress and with ease, Julie is your gal!

Julie absolutely was the best!! Cannot thank her enough for all the help she was on our special day! We got married 4/27/19 at Kona Kai! We had a bridal/groom party of 5 each and 100 guests. I had a lot of decor and had made my own centerpieces. She set up everything perfectly. The whole day was executed just right with getting everyone where they needed to be guests seated and the bridal party ready to go. Everything was brought back to my room afterwards and I didnt have to worry about a thing. It was such a chaotic day and I am truly grateful to have such an organized and great coordinate to execute to the day! Everything looked amazing for the ceremony and reception and I would highly recommend Julie for your wedding! She rocks:)

A true professional as a wedding coordinator! We chose a combination package with Wedding Coordinator and DJ team. It was the best decision for us because they worked very well together and gave us great advice on how to carry out our wedding plans. As you can imagine, there were plenty of snags to deal with as we closed in on our special day. But, Julie was very helpful with rehearsal in putting our minds at ease and to carry out final details. We asked quite a lot for Julie to do in a short period of time based on what the wedding venue allowed. Julie and her assistant were able to fulfill our vision of how we wanted our plans for wedding decorations carried out. Cannot say enough positive things about her professionalism and the extra care that Julie put into making ours a very special wedding from the beginning to the very end. Thank you, Julie, for making ours a very special day!

Julie is amazing! She knows her stuff and helped us create the Wedding Event of the Season. From the very start we knew she was the right choice for our Daughter's December 2018 Wedding. The questions she asked, her experienced guidance and follow-up were amazing. Every detail was planned and executed perfectly. She made it look so easy and was able to keep everything on track and perfectly timed. She was a great partner to me (Mother of the Bride) and made sure everything was exactly as we wanted it to be. I highly recommend her and her husband Mick (the Elite British DJ), they were the perfect choice and we could not be happier with their service!

We cannot imagine having the amazing wedding that we did without Julie. She was patient, responsive, detailed, supportive, knowledgeable, and held our hands through the entire experience. Our only regret is that we won't get a chance to work with her again. Our wedding would not have been as stress free and enjoyable for us as the wedding couple without Julie. We highly recommend her to anyone searching for a coordinator and highly recommend her to anyone that is not.

Julie Scrivener at the Best Wedding for You was so wonderful to work with. I met her through her husband Mick (DJ with Elite British DJ) and I couldn't be happier and more thankful that I worked with this husband, wife duo. They make everything so easy and fun and your day is truly stress free! Julie and I met for the first time to just go over basic logistics and to see what services I needed. She has a survey/questionnaire to fill out which helped me get a better idea of what she would be doing for my wedding (the day of and services I needed prior). She's super super organized (I really don't know how she does this job!!), emails my vendors when I have a question, answers all my questions in a timely manner, and then went with me to go through florals and food tasting. Julie has a website you can use to keep everything organized and tasks she gives you to make sure you're on track and also had a list of vendors if I needed anything. I ended up using her hair and make up recommendation along with her floral rec and I'm so glad I did. I planned my wedding in about 4 months, but I really feel like I only spent about a month or even less, actually needing to do things for my wedding. I just put my trust into Julie and everything got done or she told me what to do and it was just so easy! The day of my wedding was absolutely stress free and I have Julie to thank for that. If you want someone who knows the industry, gets the job done, is so much fun to work with, and doesn't give you any stress during the process then Julie is your gal!! I got so many compliments about my wedding and everyone had so much fun!

Words can't even begin to describe how amazing Julie was. We had a complex traditional Indian wedding with and involved parents, and Julie did such a great job of making sure everyone felt important, but that we (as the bride and groom) ultimately got what we wanted. This was a destination wedding for us and Julie let us ship a bunch of stuff to her house months before. We wanted a coordinator who was polite ,but also not afraid to be assertive to guests so we could have everything go on time and as schedule - Julie did exactly that. The whole day went smoothly and ON TIME (which rarely happens at Indian weddings!) and this couldn't have happen without Julie. Best decision we made.

If I could give Julie more than 5 stars I absolutely would. She is so incredibly knowledgeable, willing and wanting to help in anyway possible, extremely professional, and I have no doubt in my mind that she was the reason our wedding turned out perfectly. She helped my husband and I plan our wedding in no more than four months, and I wouldn't have changed a thing about it. She recommended multiple vendors to us (everyone of which we were extremely pleased with), worked with our odd schedules, and kept us informed about every detail. She put so much time and effort into making sure our wedding was ABSOLUTELY perfect, and it was. She removed a majority (if not all) of the stress that comes with planning a wedding, and my husband and I never once worried about whether or not any details were being overlooked or missed as she took care of everything. Julie is absolutely incredible and is amazing at what she does! :)

Julie was absolutely fabulous!! She is very organized, making sure she had every detail planned and was included in every schedule and plan! She and Mick are a dynamic duo and made us feel completely comfortable during the planning process and the day of! She and Mick are THE bet vendors and I would absolutely recommend her for wedding planning services!!!!

Julie is an absolute godsend and helped to make our wedding day perfect! As my now-husband and I were planning our La Jolla wedding from across the country in NYC, we needed Julie's assistance from Day 1. Her responsiveness to every email and phone call - big and small - was incredible, and she provided endless advice and guidance about questions that we didn't even know we would have. She has done countless beautiful weddings throughout San Diego and has built a network of incredible vendors who also love working with her. She still also keeps ahead of trends and ideas so our wedding felt original, truly unique, and completely "us". As I'm also a teacher, I appreciate people who are organized and use systems effectively, and Julie's approach to planning is unparalleled! Trust her to do your wedding perfectly :) Ultimately, if you are even thinking about hiring a wedding planner, go ahead and book Julie already - we are both so grateful for her love and support, and really believe she did everything in her power to make our wedding the absolute BEST!

My husband and I were quite spoiled in that we worked with Julie for over a year before our wedding; other than our reception venue to set a date, she was the first vendor we hired after getting engaged! She had an extensive list of vendor recommendations from which we selected most of our wedding vendors. She was very responsive and incredibly detail-oriented. Julie's experience in the industry really shows as she thinks of things that my husband and I never considered until she brought it up. We consulted with her on a lot of choices we had to make, and she provided smart, honest and thoughtful feedback that were valuable to us. She came with us to select our linens, to our menu tasting, to floral meeting + mock-up and did a thorough site run-through with us - again, a lifesaver. On the day of our wedding, I didn't have to direct a single vendor on where they needed to be - Julie had it handled beforehand. If there were a problem with any of them, I would have never known because the reception was perfect when we got there! Julie created a very detailed timeline for the bridal party and our vendors; these definitely helped make the day go more smoothly. Overall, I highly recommend having Julie as your wedding coordinator. There is no denying that planning a wedding is stressful, but having a professional whom you can rely on makes the process easier and more fun!

My now wife and I were a bit hesitant to shell out the cash on a wedding coordinator as we thought we were pretty organized people. But boy, are we glad we hired Julie to be the coordinator for our wedding at Scripps Seaside forum. From our first meeting, she was extremely organized, friendly and knowledgable about all aspects of wedding planning. She had great vendor referrals and always answered our texts and emails promptly. She also accompanied us to vendor meetings and gave truthful, unbiased opinions on whether we should spend the extra money on things like outdoor furniture or if the budget could be used elsewhere. Come the weekend of the wedding, Julie was absolutely crucial to the smooth ceremony and reception. She organized the ceremony, set up decorations, developed the timeline, oversaw all the vendors, etc. If you're getting married in San Diego and want to be able to enjoy planning your wedding with minimal stress, I highly recommend you hire Julie to coordinate your wedding. She did a phenomenal job!

What can we say about Julie? She was absolutely perfect for us. She was super responsive, organized, and made our wedding day a stress-free affair. When we first started planning our wedding, we did not realize how much work a coordinator had to do...boy are we glad we had one (and specifically, had Julie)! Flawless experience, from start to finish.

If I have one piece of advice when wedding planning, it would be to hire a Wedding Planner that gets really involved at least 3 months (or more) ahead of your big day. And if you're in the market for a wedding planner, Julie is who you should hire! She is experienced, has great connections with the wedding vendor community, she is professional, prepared, and not afraid to stay on the timeline and keep people/guests in line in a gentle yet direct manner! We worked with Julie during the 10 months we planned our wedding and she relieved an incredible amount of stress from me (bride), the groom, and my family. On the day of, I didn't have to lift a finger and we coordinated enough of the details ahead of time that my family had very little to do or pack at the end of the night. Julie allows you to feel like a guest at your own wedding! The wedding planning process is already stressful enough, but I cannot imagine planning my wedding without Julie! We were married in February at The Prado in Balboa Park. Julie is a preferred wedding vendor there and she knows every little detail about that event space and staff! Made me feel extra confident in working with her.

Julie is amazing! She was such an asset to our wedding planning- so knowledgeable and organized. I can’t imagine our wedding turning out as well as it did without her.

We were referred to Julie by our venue and hired her as our Month Of Coordinator. Julie is amazing! She is extremely organized and on top of every single detail. She created the timeline and coordinated with all of the vendors. We gave her all of the extra items like flower girl basket, cake topper, wedding license, card box, etc. the week of, and she made sure everything made it to the wedding in its proper place. She went above and beyond our expectations during the wedding, using the ceremony items to add to the reception decor. At the end of the night, she had all our personal items packed up and ready to go. We really cannot thank her enough for being so knowledgeable, helpful, professional, and dedicated to making sure her clients have the best wedding possible!

Where do I even begin with Julie! Without her my wedding would have been an overwhelming experience. But thanks to her the wedding planning and wedding went off without a hitch! She was with us every step of the way, helping any way that she could. Julie you are the best I can't even begin to thank you enough!

I was referred to Julie by my venue contact and it was the best referral I got during all of my vendor searches. Julie is a rock star! I have worked events for years and I know how hard it can be juggling entire events and timelines and trying to stay calm through it all. She did an amazing job with it all. From the moment we met she was on top of everything. She is very well organized and she really knows what she is doing and how to make the most of your wedding time since it flies by. If you're second guessing having a coordinator, don't, it is the best money I have ever spent and I would choose Julie time after time. My family loved her too! Keep doing what you're doing Julie! You made my husband and I's wedding unforgettable.

Julie is simply the best at what she does. She was my lifeline during my wedding planning. She is very professional and responds in a timely manner. She took away a lot of the stress and sends me reminders on the tasks I need to do and I never felt pressured. Since she's been in the business for years, she knows a lot of vendors as well familiar with many different venues in San Diego. Our wedding went without a hitch (at least none that I knew of that were life altering) and I felt zero stress the day of. She went above and beyond the call of duty. She even made me a toss bouquet :). The only thing I had to worry on our big about was me not tripping in front of everyone and saying the right words. I highly recommend Julie as your wedding planner. I promise you won't be disappointed! While you're at it, take the time to look into hiring her husband, Mick, as your DJ.

Julie was amazing! We had good, and prompt, communication whether in person, phone, or email. I thought it was cool that one of our meetings we used face time, and saved the drive. If there was a crisis that day, I never found out about it. I didn't get questions or comments from vendors, which was awesome! While I was getting ready in my suite, more than one sibling/BM, who aren't afraid to hold back opinions, praised her hard work, and said you can tell she knew what she was doing, and that the venue was looking well prepped. She was excellent in keeping things moving along smoothly and in a timely manner. She controlled the food stations to avoid bottle necking, cued the DJ for what was next, made sure gifts, and anything going back was handled, and that all that needed to be done so that we get our security deposit back was taken care of. Because, if cleaning up after your own wedding isn't a buzz kill, I don't know what is! I wasn't sure at first if having a coordinator was worth part of the budget. Seriously, the day went by too fast, to have to deal with logistics and vendors the day of. I am so glad we chose to invest in our sanity during the planning process, have her guidance & expertise,, and be able to fully enjoy our wedding day.

Julie is the best. She helped relieve so much stress with wedding planning! I used Julie for the month of. I HIGHLY recommend this even if you plan your entire wedding. She coordinated with each vendor the arrival times. This was extremely helpful to me because I work full-time and also raising a 10 month old baby. She is so easy going and she is completely organized. She warms my little OCD heart. She also referred her husband Elite British DJ. She works well with all the vendors and all the vendors love her. She is great at her job and she is great and making your special day absolutely perfect!!!

We are so very grateful we used Julie for our wedding coordinator. She was knowledgeable, friendly and personable. She knew all the questions to ask that we hadn't even thought of. And for the wedding, she allowed me, the Mother of the Bride, just to enjoy the moment, making sure everything ran smoothly. By the end of the evening we felt she was part of the family. We are very grateful for all her hard work and thoughtfulness.

Julie did a wonderful for our wedding! Julie and her husband Mick make a wonderful team and made our wedding super fun, as well as very smooth. Highly recommend!

We really can't thank Julie enough for orchestrating the most amazing, perfect wedding day we ever could have imagined!!! We came from in out of town to do an intimate elopement ceremony on the beach. From the moment I contacted her, (about a year before our big day) Julie really listened to my vision and was immediately putting in work to make it happen! She was VERY responsive and detailed with several emails back and forth over the course of a year, phone calls, giving us info and contacting different vendors, and best of all.. showing us the home away app and suggesting renting a beach house instead of staying in a hotel... which turned out to be the greatest idea EVER!!! Saying our vows at that private, intimate location was so amazing and it definitely would not have been the same experience had we done it somewhere else! On the day of our wedding Julie was SO on top of it! In addition to all her wedding coordinator duties, she also somehow managed to pull off babysitter/nanny duties and keep both of our boys happy and help hold it together when they started having one of their melt downs haha ;) We were a little worried going into it, not having any family there to help out but as it turns out we had nothing to worry about because Julie handled it all... and all with an amazing, calm demeanor and smile on her face! A thank you doesn't seem like enough to say how truly grateful we are for all she did to help give us the most special day of our family's life that we will always treasure.❤️ Julie is truly a master at what she does and I gladly recommend her to anyone looking to do a wedding in the San Diego area! Thank you, Julie for everything!!! - Brittany and Dave (Landon + Parker too!) :)

Julie was absolutely amazing! I honestly don't know how we could've put together our wedding without her. She is so pleasant to work with, never stressed us out, and was on top of anticipating everything, including little details I would have never thought of. She was very responsive, even months before the wedding, and was super helpful in helping us make decisions since she's seen it all. And on the day of the wedding she kept everything running smoothly so that the day went perfectly! Overall would highly recommend Julie to anyone planning a wedding!

Julie's services were hands down the most important of all the vendors we used. Even though we booked her for "month of/day of", Julie was very helpful in assisting us with many of the planning details early on--making many helpful suggestions, answering countless emails, and meeting with us several times. Once the date grew near she took over all the vendors and pulled everything together seamlessly. The wedding day was magical and went without a hitch, thanks to Julie. She is an experienced professional and a pleasure to work with. I would recommend her without reservation.

Julie is INCREDIBLE!!!! I was referred to her and her husband (Elite British DJ) by a family friend who had them at their wedding. Luckily I snatched them up before they got booked as i know they are in high demand. If you think you don't need a wedding planner...think again! Even if its just for the month of. Julie is worth every penny. I can not say enough good things about Julie. I got married on a military base and she was so knowledgeable about the rules and regulations. Julie is so sweet, professional, and a joy to work with. On the day of my wedding Julie made sure everything ran smoothly. If there were any problems I never knew because Julie took care of it. From day one Julie said on the day of the wedding her job was to make sure the bride did not have to worry or stress about anything and i didn't. I would like to explain and give an example of just how sweet Julie is. I had my reception on a military base which started at 6 pm. Since it was a military base there are certain rules, one being you are not allowed to start setting up until 2 hours before. My wedding ceremony was at a church at 2 pm and the church had a wedding planner so i did not need Julie at the church (also she had a lot to do to get ready for my reception). When I pulled up to the church, guess who was standing there....Julie! She came to the church and surprised me! Like i said Julie is the best of the best and if you are able to book her before someone else does you wont regret it.

We found Julie when we found Mick our DJ. We where so lucky to have had them both help with our wedding. Together these two do a great job of organizing and assisting with the wedding. I hired Julie for day of wedding Cordinator and I really could have used her more then that. I would highly recommend her for wedding planning she did and amazing job. Took control and really allowed me to have fun and not worry on my wedding day. Thank you Julie.

Thank you so much for the dream wedding you put on for us. All of our guests keep saying it was the best wedding they've ever been to.  Can't get a better compliment than that!  :) We know that there were a ton of crazy, weird requests and that we kept a lot of things last minute, but you really helped tie it all together. And sorry about the crazy light up plants lol. We really appreciate your attention to detail, making sure all of our specific requests were met, your great ideas, insight, and your kindness during this entire process. Thank you for everything. Kevin and Jessica

I literally cannot thank Julie enough for all that she did. I hired her for month of and even before that month started she was there for any little or big questions or for any advice that I needed. She is very professional and helped make the process much smoother than I could have ever imagined. The wedding day went so smooth, we used her husband as our DJ as well and it was just absolutely perfect, they are a dynamite team and both helped to make our day amazing. I highly recommend her services!

Julie, The Best Wedding for You, did an amazing job at our wedding! She was our day of coordinator and was great at picking up where things left off the month before the wedding. She communicated with the vendors, made sure my vision was executed flawlessly and made suggestions where she thought things could be improved. I had a lot of decor and items for her to put up and she graciously did what I asked. We also had a tea ceremony. She helped set up the tea ceremony, putting up picture frames of my family and ensuring we had everything we needed for the ceremony, including tea and teapots! Thank you for all your help to make this day perfect for us!!

So you got engaged! Congrats and hugs and questions... lots and lots of questions... the ones that you haven't even begun to try to figure out and not sure you ever will. At least that was me before I met Julie - and she thought of even more questions, all those little details you would never consider that amount to that perfect day. Will Grandma walk down the aisle? How should you order your maids and groomsmen? What time do you need to start getting ready if you want to do first look photos with a ceremony at 3? Let's be honest - it's your big day and everyone you love is in town for it and you can barely think straight due to nerves BUT you have Julie. And Julie will keep you right on schedule and arrange all of those little crafty things you spent months creating for the card table that you forget about on the actual day and before you know it, without you having to bat a glued-on eyelash, everything will be just as you imagined and more. Because she cares. You can tell when someone does something because they love it, there's an extra touch and ease to the whole thing. My flower girl was without flowers minutes before we were walking down and ,*pluck pluck pluck*, Julie chose a few from each maids' bouquet and in less than 10 seconds the problem was already solved and forgotten and we were back to the main issue at hand - not crying. Hire Julie. She is awesome. Your day will be incredible and you will be so thankful that you found her.

As soon as my husband and I met Julie we knew we wanted to hire her. She truly does a spectacular job at what she does and is very efficient. We definitely were a little more laid back than usual on our deadlines and such but Julie helped keep us on top of what we needed to get done. We hired Julie to do our month of coordination and she was awesome. She communicated with our vendors and made our day absolutely seamless. She was so on top of everyone's roles and schedules it was absolutely amazing. She was my lifesaver and truly helped make our perfect day happen. All of our guests are still talking nonstop about how amazing our wedding day. It was organized and executed perfectly, but not cookie cutter, stressful or boring. She made sure that our day flowed so smoothly and it truly could not have been more perfect. So thankful for Julie and I could not recommend her more as a coordinator. She is absolutely amazing and truly made sure that my husband and I were enjoying our special day.

Julie is top notch. She is extremely organized and detail oriented, flexible, re-assuring, professional, and lots of fun! Our venue required us to bring in all vendors and Julie provided some excellent recommendations - a great added bonus to working with her. She is honest and straight forward and will give her opinion when asked but first and foremost listens to your preferences. The whole event ran very smoothly and I was able to (and my mom was too!) fully enjoy every moment knowing that Julie had everything under control. One last (and huge!) added bonus - Julie's husband Mick Scrivener (Elite British DJ) was amazing. He provided some great recommendations on how to make our event unique and everyone had an absolute blast on the dance floor. Highly, highly recommend them both!

We found Julie (and her husband Mick, who is an amazing DJ) via a recommendation from a friend. We are really glad that we did. Working with Julie has been amazing. Julie offers several package options that customize how much involvement you want her to have in helping her plan your wedding. We choose the month before the wedding and day of coordinator services she offers. Until your wedding, you get helpful emails (only once a month or so, they’re not intrusive at all) with hints about organizing or planning, and Julie is available for all your questions. She also had fantastic recommendations for other vendors that she’d worked with before and found good. Once we got to a month from the wedding she took over the planning and organizing. She coordinated between me and the venue to make sure we were all on the same page; she organized a timeline for the bride and groom, wedding party, all other vendors, and family so that everyone knew where they were supposed to be and at what time (our master timeline was over 7 pages and we only had a 5 hour ceremony/reception with 90 guests!); she contacted all the vendors and made sure they knew what was going on and would show up on time; she set up all our wedding favors, the guest book table, and made sure that any outside ceremony flowers were moved inside for the reception; and took care of a million other little details. Our wedding went off without a hitch and I honestly think it’s because Julie made that happen. I am an incredibly organized person, but I still don’t have the knowledge or awareness to be able to coordinate a wedding. Additionally, the last thing you want to be doing is setting out favors at your own wedding and it’s so relaxing to know that someone reliable is taking care of everything for you. Julie is kind, funny, knowledgeable, incredibly responsive to your emails, and all around amazing to work with. Julie (and her husband Mick as our DJ) were easily the best choice we could have made and I would happily recommend them to everyone.

We recently worked with Julie as our coordinator for our 4/30/16 wedding. We were really far behind on just about all aspects of our wedding and the day was fast approaching. We had Julie do our “mo
