Soltana and her team are a planning powerhouse! Soltana is incredibly knowledgeable and experienced in planning weddings and we would have been lost without her guidance. She ensured our wedding day was flawless and took any worries off our plates, helping us feel more comfortable, and she had all of our vendors on the same page, even with some last minute changes we made. Her friendly and attentive nature put us at ease and we are so grateful for the guidance she provided us leading up to the wedding and on our big day. She and the Velvet Alley team were available to troubleshoot at a moment’s notice on our wedding day and made sure everything was taken care of. There are so many things we simply wouldn’t have thought of, and Soltana helped us plan for it all to make our wedding really feel like us. Highly recommend!
I had my wedding at Eden Gardens on May 24th, but before I get into the day of I’d like to share my amazing experience of working with Soltana months before wedding. I’m not native to LA or California so I really needed guidance with finding vendors. Soltana immediately helped connect with the most amazing vendors based on my needs. Through her I’ve met the most amazing people that I hope to work with for future events. My wedding was also bicultural (Mexican/Persian) and her knowledge of the middle eastern/Persian culture was tremendously helpful. I don’t know how I would’ve gotten it all done without her help.
The day of with her team was also perfection! Everything ran so smoothly and her team was so sweet and made me feel at ease. They executed all of our “DIY” stuff flawlessly and even set up my Persian Sofreh for the ceremony. I am forever grateful and highly recommend Velvet Alley Events. You’ll literally just enjoy your day with no worries!
We hired Velvet Alley Events for month of coordinating and were so thankful that we did! Soltana is so on top of everything - which is exactly what you want from a wedding planner. She was responsive and informative which was so appreciated as we worked out the final details of our wedding in the month leading up to it. On the day of, Soltana and her team kept everything running so smoothly that we were able to just enjoy and be in the moment. We truly could not have had as amazing of a wedding day without the Velvet Alley team!
We were so grateful to have found Velvet Alley Events. Soltana, along with her team, were so amazing at making sure everything ran smoothly on our wedding day. Knowing that they were running the show allowed my husband and I to take a sigh of relief and truly enjoy the day! Highly recommend.
Soltana knows her stuff when it comes to weddings. I appreciated how direct, candid, and honest that she was about the entire process and the amount of time and energy that she put into my wedding day. I do not think it would have gone as smooth as it did without her, and she did a great job at managing a large crowd. THANK YOU!
Soltana and the Velvet Alley team were absolutely phenomenal on our special day at Eden Gardens. Initially, we had some reservations about upgrading our package with Velvet Alley, but we are overjoyed that we did. Their dedication and expertise surpassed all expectations, putting our minds at ease throughout the entire process. Soltana and her team were attentive to our every need and flawlessly navigated any potential issues that arose, ensuring that our wedding day ran seamlessly.
The remarkable professionalism and attentiveness of the Velvet Alley team did not go unnoticed by our guests, who were quick to praise the smooth execution of every aspect of our celebration. Their contribution played a significant role in making our wedding an unforgettable experience for everyone in attendance.
We cannot speak highly enough of Soltana and the Velvet Alley team. Their exceptional service and meticulous attention to detail truly made a difference, and we are immensely grateful for their expertise. If you're looking for a team that will go above and beyond to make your special day truly magical, we wholeheartedly recommend Soltana and the talented professionals at Velvet Alley.
Soltana and her team are amazing. They know what they're doing and made our wedding so much fun.
Thank you so much!! Your services on our wedding day were so helpful. We were reflecting on how we couldn't have had anything go smoother than it did! We are so thankful that you guys were available for us and I wouldn't have changed anything!
We were so lucky to have had Velvet Alley Events during the process of planning our wedding and on our wedding day. I do not know what I would have done without the help of Soltana and her team. Our day was complete perfection because of them!!! Planning a wedding can be stressful and overwhelming and it is easy to overlook small details. Soltana was perfection on making sure this did not happen. She is so organized and amazing at what she does and such a professional. Would 100% recommend them and if I had to do it over again I would hire them in a heart beat!!! Thank you so much Velver Alley Events for making our wedding day a breeze.
Soltana and her team at Velvet Alley Events were everything you could ask for when it comes to your big day. They were responsive, professional, and went above and beyond to be helpful. We were short two boutonnieres and had an extra bouquet. So, they made two boutonnieres from that bouquet. They even stitched up one of the suits that had a small hole in the back. Truly an amazing team that made our day so incredibly enjoyable and stress-free. Thank you, Velvet Alley Events, and all the amazing work you did to make our day so Special.
Wow Wow! Velvet Alley is the only planner/coordinator I will ever recommend! I hired VA as my month of/day of coord for our wedding and they were amazing. It was so helpful having unlimited emails with Soltana + Velvet Alley leading up tot the big day. Soltana and her team really prioritized us and made us feel like we were the only wedding she had on her plate, when in reality they were busy busy! Soltana and her team were so responsive and always had the right advice. Soltana has the most calm and reassuring demeanor and made the wedding day run so smoothly. Any hiccup was anticipated and anything that came up was handled with ease and poise. Soltana and her team KNOW their stuff and have the experience to make your wedding day go exactly as you plan. This is the team you want supporting you on the one of the biggest days of your life. Hire them!!
Velvet Alley Events was a pleasure to work with as our wedding coordinator. Soltana was very responsive and answered any inquiries in the months leading up to our wedding. She was especially attentive about the schedule and vendor arrivals for the wedding day. Soltana made sure we received detailed information about what to bring and the flow of the day. On the wedding day, Cindy and her team followed the schedule and frequently checked in with the bridal and grooms parties to ensure we were comfortable. They laid out our decorations for the ceremony and reception and collected everything by the end of the night. They also oversaw the vendor arrivals and distributed our tips to them. We greatly appreciate how professional and helpful Velvet Alley Events was in making our wedding an efficient, smooth, and joyful occasion.
My husband and I were required to book a wedding day coordinator as per the policy at our venue. They had recommended we book with Velvet Alley Events to help the day go smoothly. What we received was beyond what we imagined! Soltana and her team had thought of and took care of all the little details we would have never thought of on our own. Not only where they extremely professional with us, but also had excellent communication with our vendors. When the wedding day arrived, we felt truly taken care of. Even though our other vendors were late, Velvet Alley managed to keep everything regulated perfectly. They even found my husband a time to be alone together and to just sit and relax for a moment while they brought us our cocktail appetizers and drinks privately to enjoy. Soltana helped me put on my shoes as we were in a rush to enter the reception! They also took care of our bridal party and were supporting them right before their speeches! They were truly the best, I could not recommend Soltana and her team more! God bless your exceptional services!
Our wedding day at Eden Gardens was absolutely perfect thanks to Soltana and her team of assistant coordinators! From the beginning, Soltana was very organized and thorough as she asked us questions about our wedding details. She provided a questionnaire and list of decorative items that made planning simple and easy. She offered helpful suggestions and kept tight communication with us in the days leading up to our Day Of. I had been a little worried that certain items would not be set up as requested or forgotten, but Soltana had every little detail remembered and executed perfectly. We were also very impressed that she knew the names of everyone in our bridal party and even our parents. Our wedding day came and went way too quickly, but Velvet Alley Events kept us on schedule the entire time. My husband and I got a chance to speak with and create memories with all of our guests, thanks to the Velvet Alley Events team! We are so grateful that no special moments were missed. Our day was truly the most magical, beautiful day EVER and we owe a huge part of that to Velvet Alley Events!
If you are thinking about hiring Velvet Alley Events for your wedding PLEASE DO IT. Soltana and her team were absolutely fantastic. Soltana is very kind, professional and personable! I'm a VERY indecisive person and struggled with certain details; she made it all so easy for us. I sincerely couldn't imagine my wedding day without her - it ran so smoothly because of her. Thank you Soltana!
Soltana and her team were the absolute best! Friendly, organized, talented and professional. They made the day go so smoothly and perfectly. We never felt rushed throughout the day and they were there when we needed anything. She was very helpful and happy to answer all my questions I had leading up to the day. I would definitely recommend them for your wedding!
Hire Soltana and her team immediately!!!! Soltana was so professional, kind, and detail oriented every step of the planning process. We hired her as our day-of coordinator, and she made us feel so at ease and confident that she had everything under control. Our families were so impressed with how efficiently she ran our rehearsal, and how cool, calm, and collected she was throughout the wedding day. She took care of us all night, anticipating our needs and keeping us fed, with drinks in hand!! She made us feel so cared for, and not like just another wedding! She truly exudes such joy, kindness, and a genuine excitement. We can’t thank you enough Soltana!!
Soltana and her team were AMAZING! We initially were supposed to get married in 2021, but due to Covid we decided to postpone our wedding an extra year. Soltana stood by our side through the whole process and was able to help us reschedule with both our venue and our vendors. I thought that this process was going to completely stress us out, but Soltana made it stress free and easy. There is no way I would of been able to plan my wedding without Soltana and her team. I always had heard of brides complain about wedding planning and how stressful and exhausting it is, but I honestly felt no stress the whole process and I 100% think the only reason for that is because I was so confident in Soltana and knew that everything would work out and be PERFECT.
Our wedding day was everything we dreamed of. It went flawlessly and looking back, both my husband and I have ZERO complaints. It was truly the best day of our lives. Thank you Soltana and team for being so awesome, if I ever have a friend or a family member that needs a planning team- Velvet Alley will be what I recommend always without a doubt.
Soltana and her team were phenomenal! They made our entire day stress free and so smooth. Soltana took care of all the vendor coordination in the 30 days leading up to our wedding, made our day-of schedule and took care of all of the setup and day-of tasks. She allowed me to enjoy my day with my girls getting ready and I didn't have to worry about anything. She also guided us through the entire evening at a perfect pace! Highly recommend!
Our wedding day was amazing and I'm sure that's because of Velvet Alley Events! We worked with Soltana throughout the 2 years of our postponed wedding and then worked with Cindy the day of our wedding and both of them were truly the most helpful, organized, and kind coordinators ever. They truly care about you and your day and go above and beyond to make sure that even if there are issues, that you never hear about it! They just take care of it! Seriously, our day wouldn't have been what it was without Velvet Alley Events.
Soltana and her team were absolutely amazing at my wedding! They were professional, organized, kind, and easy to work with. Everyone in my bridal party commented that Soltana was the most calm and relaxed wedding coordinator they had ever met! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to a friend!
We absolutely enjoyed our wedding from start to finish with the help from velvet alley events. Sultan, we have you and your team to thank for that! You guys did an amazing job telling us what, where and when to do things. You also did an amazing job facilitating guest and running things by me, I appreciated that a ton.
Thank you so much for making sure our wedding ran smoothly and that Patrick and I were enjoying ourselves. We could not have asked for anything more! Soltana, having you and your team coordinate the whole wedding was the best decision we made!
If you are looking to have to best day of your life on your wedding day... look no further! Soltana and her team at Velvet Alley Events were beyond amazing on our wedding day. Like many people, we decided to get married during the pandemic and we were worried we may not be able to enjoy our special day because of this. We were so wrong, thank God & Soltana. She was so efficient and knowledgable about anything and everything wedding. My dad was amazed when she gave specific instructions on how to officially give me away. My mom was thrilled at the outcome of our wedding. Many people told us that our wedding was the best one they had ever been to and I know that was because of Soltana and her team. As a bride, I was so worried that my "vision" of our wedding decor would not look how I dreamt of it looking. I was honestly stunned by how beautiful all the details came out. It was better than I could have ever imagined. It could not have been any better. Oh, I forgot to mention that we ran out of liquor before the reception started and before I could say a bad word Soltana had already sent someone out to buy more... INCREDIBLE.
Having Velvet Alley run our big day played a HUGE part in our wedding being the best day of our lives. With so many moving parts, Soltana and her team were on it! Soltana has a way of handling it ALL with ease and a super friendly, calm demeanor. She was extremely responsive via phone/email whenever we had questions throughout the wedding planning process and we were so glad we brought her and her team on for the entire day at Eden Gardens, our venue. I would 100% recommend VA to anyone. My husband works in the wedding industry with hundreds of coordinators and felt so lucky to have this fantastic experience on his own wedding day. Thanks, Velvet Alley!
Velvet alley was great to work with. Whenever I had questions Soltana was very responsive and always had an answer or solution to my questions. Her team was great the day of the wedding. They were on top of things and made a great flow to the wedding. I'm so glad they made it as smooth for us. Thank you Soltana!
Velvet Alley Events, thank you so much for making our big day so amazing! Soltana and Cindy, you both did so great. Soltana, you made sure to handle every detail and coordinate everything so well. I felt was stress free on the big day knowing that you were handling everything. You and the team were so professional and listened along the way and were able to adjust and make any last minute changes if needed. Thank you so much!! I highly recommend Velvet Alley Events, they are wonderful to work with!
Soltana was such an incredibly helpful part of our wedding! Our wedding was the last wedding our vendors were able to hold right before the COVID-19 shut down. As you can imagine, it was a hectic time with so many crazy changes happening and so much uncertainty. Soltana was cool and collected the entire time. She was always so responsive and happy to answer our questions.
Soltana and her team knew what they were doing! Soltana is sooooo good to work with. She's done this a few times I think :). She's very responsive in her emails, we had a lot of questions and she was always there to hold our hand and calm us down when we were overwhelmed with the whole wedding thing. She recommended some good songs when we weren't sure what to use for certain parts of the wedding. She recommended certain ways to do things that made it work for our wedding party and ceremony/reception.
During the rehearsal, she made sure everyone knew exactly what they were supposed to do and the order of events for the coming day. She made sure to run through the ceremony as many times as needed to ensure everyone was comfortable
Wedding day- Soltana and her team were so attentive and responsive to our every need. Extremely efficient in how they worked. We gave her a general idea of how we wanted our decoration set up and she was able to arrange everything beautifully. We did not run into any problems the entire day.
Overall working with Soltana was a pleasant and wonderful experience. Her knowledge and planning helped ensure we had a perfect day!
Soltana was amazing!
Thank-you so much for everything and making this day so smooth and effortless.
From the day we met I knew we were in Gods hands with you.
You made every moment of the day run seamlessly and we took our ques from you as
you were there every time we needed you.
You’re attention to detail was incredible, and nothing was missed from follow up to timelines, to
contacting vendors.
This wedding was a day that will go down in our memories as one of the best days of our lives
and we could not have done it without you.
It was a privilege to work with you and as a mother of the bride I can honestly say that your ease and grace and smile
calmed my every nerve!!!
With gratitude,
Brynja McGrady
We worked with Soltana, the owner, for all of the planning process and a jr. coordinator came the day of for assistance. She was very communicative and organized. Velvet Alley Events was our day of coordinator that came with booking our venue at Eden Gardens. The questionairre for the 30 days meeting covers everything you could possibly plan and a great way to double check a bride that is doing all the planning on her own.
I was disappointed that the jr. coordinator didn't have the drinks and hors d'oeuvres set up for our scheduled and planned 10min private moment. The private moment was interrupted a few times which really puts a damper on things when we are exchanging private vows. Also the jr. coordinator did not know the groom's preferred drink (which was apart of the questionairre that they asked us so we figured it was their standard operating procedure).
So for the entire night, the groom could not get a drink nor get a drink brought to him even when he asked coordinators, bartenders and wait staff directly. He tried walking to the bar to get the drink himself but he never made it there since guests kept pulling him into conversations. Which, if you're newly married you know the struggle that comes with the big day.
Also neither coordinator caught the mistake that the marked and discussed food allergy of the groom, cilantro, was on hors d'oeuvres and dinner and it was served to the groom.
All the details and purchased items were all set up wonderfully and nothing was lost. Our ketubah could've been packed away with a little more care but all-in-all as a very detailed oriented and extensive planner kinda person, I didn't worry about very much on the day of my wedding. It was very nice and says a lot about how much Soltana took care of with out me seeing or knowing, which is a mark of a really good coordinator!
I honestly have no words how amazing Soltana was from the moment I met her! She is an angel! Soltana and her team made the day go so smooth and dealt with any issues that arose quickly and professionally. She was able to make the entire venue look beautiful and turned my visions into reality! She was also
always available when I needed her. I recommend her for your wedding day as it made it so I could enjoy the day rather than be concerned about the details or anything that comes up. She worked with the venue flawlessly and I could not be more grateful for her on the best day of our lives!
Soltana was AMAZING when it came down to the planning process, and she guided us through the entire planning process step-by-step, to make sure that everything was thought of. And there were a LOT of things that my husband and I did not think about (It was our first wedding), and Soltana made sure that everything was accounted for. I would definitely recommend paying a little extra to hire her as your day-of coordinator. She even helped us set up a scavenger hunt!
And the day of the wedding the entire staff was wonderful. They guided us through every part of the wedding, and made sure that my husband and I could focus on enjoying our time, while they made sure that everything ran smoothly. Thank you so much for helping to make our wedding day MAGICAL :)
Day-of/Month-of coordinators are something that I heard a lot about but didn't really know anything about when looking into them, and let me tell you - MONEY WELL SPENT. Oh my gosh, seriously, my wedding would have been a WRECK without Soltana and her team at Velvet Alley Events! Not only was Soltana really great to work with beforehand (she answered my questions quickly and thoroughly, gave me lots of helpful information), but day of was a lifesaver. It rained on my wedding day (when the forecast said it would be done hours before the ceremony, and it wasn't), and they were great at moving the ceremony, making everything for the ceremony and reception absolutely gorgeous, and letting me enjoy the day without worrying about anything. Save yourself the worrying and stressing over executing everything day of, and hire Soltana to take care of it for you. I wish I could have another event just so I could work with her again!
Soltana Mulhearn from Velvet Alley Events is an all star! We hired Soltana and her team to be our day of coordinator, and words cannot describe on how amazing they are. We got married this past October at the Gardens at Los Robles, and our wedding ran so smooth thanks to Velvet Alley Event! Due to our limited budget, we had done a lot of the decorations ourselves. Soltana and her team were not discouraged by the task, and set everything up to make our dream wedding come true! This company is truly amazing, and Soltana is such a sweetheart! If you’re in the area and in need of a coordinator, you need to go with Velvet Alley Events! They really do strive to make your wedding vision come true, and run as smooth as possible!!!
Velvet Alley Events was the best! Karen and Lindy were our coordinators and we couldn’t be more pleased! My initial consultation was with Soltana and Karen where we went over a very detailed questionnaire. We basically planned our wedding in a month, so you can imagine how crazy it was. They were extremely patient with us. I’m a very indecisive person and have the worst time making decisions, but they were so understanding. The day of couldn’t have gone better and I have them to thank for it. With all the craziness and chaos going on a bride does not want to have to think of doing anything but enjoying every moment. That’s what they did for me and my husband. They made sure we taken care of in every way possible and our guests. I heard nothing but compliments about their team from all my family and friends. If you’re looking for a coordinator I highly recommend Velvet Alley Events! You will not be disappointed!
Velvet Alley Events, specifically Soltana Mulhearn, helped to make our special day absolutely memorable!
From the get-go, Soltana ensured that we were taken care of. From the first client intake meeting, where Soltana had us fill out an exhaustive questionnaire and answered any of the niggling questions that filled our heads, to the many, many, many follow-up questions that we sent via email, text, or phone call, she made sure that we understood, and felt comfortable with, everything that would be needed to make our wedding absolutely perfect.
My bride is a bit of a Bridezilla, and I'm a bit of a Groomzilla, so I understand that, as a pair, we were a LOT to handle! From our custom-made centerpieces to our custom photos mounted on easels in specific locations around the venue, it was essential for us to understand natural restrictions of both the venue, and the staff for each vendor. Soltana was intimately familiar with all of these and let us know what was, and was not, possible, and worked with us, and the vendors, to ensure that everything went smoothly and competently. For many weeks before the wedding, she set forth a specific schedule of what each vendor would likely be doing every hour of the day, and walked us through the process as many times as we needed to fully understand how the complicated orchestration of parts would be fulfilled.
The day of our wedding, we were absolutely blessed enough to have Soltana be our day-of coordinator as well (Velvet Alley has several day-of coordinators), and she ensured that everything, from our custom-made centerpieces, to our custom-made escort cards, to our custom-made photographs, to our custom-made program displays, and our custom-ordered sand ceremony paraphernalia, was all placed correctly at the right times, and even made many decisions that we didn't even think of to ensure that it all went according to plan! She even thought of some great ideas to improve the pacing of our reception the day of, and ensured we were both OK with her new idea before implementing it with our vendors. All of our guests really enjoyed the attention to detail Velvet Alley's staff paid to our wedding and how they politely kept everyone on schedule.
Throughout the day and night, she stayed with all of us, nudging our bridal party along, gathering members appropriately when necessary, and even found and returned lost keys that had been misplaced! She continuously checked in with us to ensure we were happy with how the night progressed, and made sure we ate not only our dinner, but a little bit of each of our desserts, ice cream, cake, and custom drinks. I couldn't recommend Velvet Alley highly enough!
Soltana and her team with an amazing job at our wedding ( Humming Bird Nest Ranch 9/22/18). My now wife and I could not be happier with their services. Velvet Alley Events went above and beyond to make our wedding what it should be, a time to be happy, worry free, and know that everything is under control Soltana and her team provided exceptional costumer service, attention to detail, and professionalism.
They made our my wedding run incredibly smooth and took care of everything. I highly recommend Velvet Alley for ALL your wedding planning & coordination!!
Thank you Soltana for making our big day an unforgettable one !!
Velvet Alley Events made our day easy peasy so we could enjoy our wedding day! From the set up to the end of the night, Bel/Taylor/Emily handled everything with ease and professionalism. They have a lot of experience, and will bring things to your attention that you wouldn't even think about. I couldn't be happier with their services!
I have NO WORDS to express how wonderful Soltana is!!!!! She is the absolute BEST! We had a Persian/ American wedding at Eden Gardens with 215 people. My mother owns an interior design business where I work with her as well. She is VERY detail-oriented, specific and involved and very difficult to please and let's just say that Soltana completely exceeded her expectations. Soltana and her team went above and beyond to make sure every little detail we mentioned was taken care of better than we could have imagined. My mom always had someone by her side for anything she needed so we never had to chase someone down for help during the wedding and it just felt so comfortable knowing everything was in Soltana's hands! It is so difficult to find someone to completely trust for such a huge meaningful event that you have once in a lifetime, especially when you are spending so much time and money planning, but Velvet Alley Events completely has it down. I will promise you that Soltana and her team will take away every single worry and fear you could even think of. I couldn't have imagined my wedding without them. Thank you for making my wedding the most seamless, perfect day I could ever dream of, Soltana!
Attention brides: Make your wedding planning one step easier and book Velvet Alley Events for your wedding. Soltana and her team are a delight to work with, super organized, and incredibly efficient. My wedding was on 9/1/2018 at Los Robles Greens, and Soltana's team Lindee and Taylor helped make it perfect. My friends and family are still commenting how smooth everything was, and how both girls worked all night long and hustled and just overall did a fantastic job. I had zero issues. From the preliminary phone calls to the email correspondence throughout the planning, to the final details meeting, and lastly, to the Big Day, I always felt like I was being taken care of and my concerns were heard (and my wedding wishes were granted). Soltana and her team will take care of your wedding and help execute your vision, and for a very reasonable price. One of the best decisions I made when planning my wedding was choosing Velvet Alley Events for my Day-Of Coordinator needs. Would gladly recommend to any brides looking.
Soltana & her entire team are an absolute joy to work with! The entire process, from getting engaged up until the wedding day went smoothly because Soltana is extremely knowledgable and talented in what she does! She ensures that no detail is forgotten and that everything is in order for the big day. She works with all the vendors and contracts and allows you as the bride to focus on the fun stuff! During the day of, Soltana and her entire team are there for you every step of the way to ensure your day goes on flawlessly. If there was anything you needed or anything went wrong, her team was there immediately to solve the issue! We were able to relax and enjoy our night because of Soltana & her team ensuring that the timeline went on without a hitch and that everyone was having the best time. I highly recommend VelvetAlleyEvents for your next event, it will exceed your expectations if you have Soltana & her team as your planner!
Soltana and the team were very organized, reliable, and professional. The day of the wedding there were a few issues and Soltana and her team problem solved and took care of the situation to help the wedding run smoothly. I highly recommend them!!!!
Love love love Soltana! Soltana was my day of coordinator but went above and beyond to help me leading up to the special day! I cannot thank Soltana and her team enough for making sure my day ran smoothly and I didn’t have to worry about a single thing. Soltana has such a fun personality and made all my stresses disappear! If you’re looking for a trustworthy and reliable coordinator Soltana is your lady! If I could give 100 stars I would! Thank you again!!! Xoxo
We had our wedding at Eden Gardens and were introduced to Soltana as our coordinator for our special day. She was super responsive and always willing to answer any questions and give her honest, professional opinions. Soltana is all ears, willing to listen. You can tell that she loves what she does as she truly expresses it through her professionalism. Soltana helped make our "dream wedding" come true.
My now husband and I had our wedding at Eden Gardens and we were fortunate enough to work with Soltana to prep for our special day. Since the first time we met her, she was super charismatic and we knew she was going to be a pleasure to work with right then and there. She was super responsive and always willing to answer any questions and give her honest, professional opinions. Soltana is all ears, willing to listen. She somehow always knew exactly what we wanted. You can tell that she loves what she does as she truly expresses it through her professionalism. She is willing to go above and beyond to accommodate your needs, and make sure you have the best, most amazing wedding day ever. My wedding would not have been the same without Soltana. My husband and I are truly grateful for everything she did for us, for our once in a lifetime event. Soltana played a huge role in what will truly made our wedding memorable.
Soltana was a preferred vendor of my venue (Los Robles Greens). Soltana and her team were absolutely perfect. The day would not have been as perfect without her. Everyone commented on how smooth everything went throughout the day. Soltana was available any time I had a question and she was always quick to respond. I would definitely recommend Soltana to anyone I know who is getting married. She went above and beyond to create a perfect day!
Soltana at Velvet Alley Events is the absolute best! She is knowledgeable, professional, organized, dependable, sweet, kind, honest...I could go on and on. The wedding went off perfectly, thanks to Soltana! She truly is a gem, and you will not be disappointed.
Received referral to Soltana from our venue, Hummingbird Nest Ranch, and am SO THANKFUL! We designed and planned my daughter's wedding, then hired Soltana for month/day of coordination. As a PMP, I was very impressed with how quickly she absorbed all of our information and plan detail; she was able to jump right in and add value. She tracked and tied up all loose ends, and thoroughly documented our event timeline. I hired all the vendors prior to Soltana joining us, and she quickly took the reins and made certain they were completely prepared for our big day. Unfortunately, the day of our event, we had serious performance issues with our vendors. Soltana and her team were miraculous in dealing with all of these, which is not what she was hired to do. She spent the entire day/night babysitting paid professionals, in order to keep our event going, all without my daughter and her husband knowing a thing. She has a keen eye for detail and keeps her clients best interest in mind (prevented us from incurring penalty fees as a result of bad vendor behavior). Keep in mind, she didn't hire these vendors, she inherited them from me. But it didn't matter, she made the day happen according to plan. If you're looking for a planning partner, don't look any further than Soltana - SHE'S THE BEST!
Honestly, if you are even thinking of going with someone else... DON'T! Soltana and her team are amazing. They made our wedding seamless, and if something went wrong... I still don't know about it. They made our day unforgettable to the smallest details, and we are thrilled they were apart of our special day. You will not be disappointed!!
Velvet alley events really did an amazing job on everything. I wasn’t disappointment at all!!! Thank you for everything you guys did!!
What can I say, my day was absolutely PERFECT!!! Wouldn't change a thing!! Soltana and her team at Velvet Alley Events helped to make my day everything I had ever dreamed of. She helped me from beginning to end & made sure every detail was perfect!! I highly recommend Velvet Alley for ALL your wedding planning & coordination!!
I worked with Soltana after receiving her as a recommendation from our venue, MountainGate Country Club. I planned the wedding from out of state and she was absolutely fantastic to work with. She was responsive and timely with her communications and incredibly helpful in letting me ship items out ahead of time. She also went out of her way on the morning of the wedding to bring my bouquet to the hotel so I could have it earlier for pictures. At the ceremony and reception, everything ran flawlessly and on-time. My husband, who wasn't super involved in the planning process, even commented that he felt she did a fantastic job. She truly went above and beyond and helped to create a perfect day that I was able to truly enjoy because I didn't have to stress about the details.
Soltana made my wife and I feel so at ease leading up to our big day. She felt like so much more than a day-of coordinator and managed the other vendors with aplomb. Her associate Lindee was also so integral to such a stress-free wedding. Thank you Velvet Alley Events!
HUGE SHOUT OUT TO SOLTANA AND KAY!! Even though, on paper, we had Kay for our day-of-coordinator, I felt like we had Soltana and Kay as our planners.
Husband and I live in SF so we had to Facetime with Soltana and Kay for our meetings but they were easy and very straightforward. Every time I felt anxious or panic-y, I remembered Soltana and Kay to feel at ease.
On the day of – so. Much. Respect. For. Coordinators]. Kay and her assistant were angels. Other than Kay being by my side and basically running the show, my utmost respect for Kay was when my elder family members who did not speak English had questions/requests, Kay was patient with them by trying to understand them. I really appreciated that and cannot thank her enough.
Team: if you're reading this, thank you again from the bottom of my heart <3
Their services were amazing! I didn't know how much we would need them that day until the day came. Soltana made everything run so smoothly without any effort on our part. From the decoration drop off, to the shoe glue she used to rescue a bridesmaid's broken shoe, I would highly recommend them to anyone getting married. Thank you, Velvet Alley Events!
Here is the note I sent regarding Soltana's help at our wedding this past June at Eden Gardens, Moorpark CA:
Now that we're back from Bora Bora, we're back into our old groove, and all the gift boxes have been opened and put away, I wanted to take a moment to let you know just how thankful we are to you and your team for helping us put together an amazing party for us and all our friends. Your assistant (whose name -forgive me- has escaped me) was also a tremendous help to Daniel and me. We both reminisced on how much we really felt that your help and your presence were a relief to the both of us and that it really afforded us the opportunity to try and take all the excitement in. It was a great value for what we feel you and your team gave us; you exceeded our expectations. We will not hesitate to recommend you both personally and on Yelp. If there is anywhere else that would be useful to write a positive review for your business, please let us know.
Thank you overall for your kindness to us, and for all of your valuable expertise.
I can't say enough good things about Soltana and her staff from Velvet Alley Events. Our wedding was up in San Miguel, California so Soltana and I only spoke on the phone and via email leading up to our wedding weekend. During this process, she was invaluable to the planning of our wedding, and offered great insight and suggestions for things I hadn't thought of. There were a few times I emailed Soltana in the middle of the night with a slight panic over a detail I had forgot, and it was always so comforting to receive a detailed response within the next day. As soon as I met Soltana in person during our rehearsal dinner I knew we were in great hands! My stress of the weekend instantly melted away and I could enjoy being the bride. Her and her staff were so organized and they had controlled coordinating with all our other vendors the weeks before the wedding (including fielding all vendor questions so help free up my time). The day of the wedding was flawless and I could not have asked for anything more from Soltana and her team. I would highly recommend them for your wedding (or other event) and they will be the first company I contact for any future event needs.
Velvet Alley Events executed my wedding exactly as I imagined it to be! There were ZERO hiccups the entire evening, except for the weather which Soltana mitigated the situation quickly!! I only utilized Velvet Alley for day-of coordination at MountainGate Country Club, guest size about 250.
Soltana communicated very well with all of my vendors (venue, cake, florist, DJ, photo booth, photographer, and videographer), which allowed the evening to go smoothly without complaints.
Check out the Velvet Alley's Instagram page for events that they have executed. All are gorgeous!!
Hiring Soltana and her team at Velvet Alley Events as our Day Of Coordinator made it achievable for my husband and I to have a stress-free wedding reception and enjoy our time with our friends and family. Oftentimes people tell you that you’ll be so busy the day of you’ll forget to eat, well Soltana made sure we ate, drank, and danced our way through our wedding with smiles on our faces and laughter surrounding the venue.
She and her team kept things organized, on schedule (which she helped us coordinate about a month before the big day) and helped keep our reception enjoyable for everyone in attendance. Leading up to our wedding day Soltana was available for our questions and recommendation requests. She also kept all of our vendors on the same page before the event and during the event; she was also able to act as representative for the emergency tent that had to go up last minute – which was a phenomenal help and kept me keep sane. Her positive attitude made the day disaster free and her attentiveness to our needs really shows how much she cares about her clients. Thank you to Soltana and her team for her wonderful work with us on our wedding day!
Soltana and her team were TRULY AMAZING!!! Our night would of not been so perfect if Soltana and her team were not there until the end of our wedding!!! From our initial meeting through the end of our wedding night, her and her team were there for us! Soltana not only gave helpful and honest suggestions before our wedding, she made sure everything ran smoothly throughout the night. She was so organized while creating our detailed timeline and getting all necessary contact information from all our vendors. Her and her team maintained professional while problem-solving during our wedding. Best of all, she eased my anxiety so much during the days leading up to and the night of our wedding!!! We received so much positive feedback from all our guest on how organized and smooth our wedding night was! Our night would not have been the same if it wasn't for Soltana and her team. Highly recommend Velvet Alley Events!!
First off let me say that I would recommend Soltana and her team to EVERYONE needing any kind of day of coordinating services. Her prices were extremely reasonable compared to other coordinators. I cannot imagine what we would have done without Soltana! Soltana was always available by text call or email at any time of the day for every question. She listened to every request and gave great advice for us wedding novices! The day of, I truly felt that Soltana and her team made the wedding as perfect as it turned out. They seemed to be everywhere at all times, problem solving and directing at every step. The best part about Soltana and the team I must say though was how genuinely invested and happy they all were to be apart of our wedding. They made sure everyone involved was doing what needed to be done but with a smile.
Soltana helped our big day go on without a hitch, which I feel is very hard to do. My husband and I had so much fun and we had no worries the whole night. She helped with the whole process from planning to every little detail. Everything looked amazing on the day of.
