Whitney Nelson Events

and executed our dream wedding flawlessly. She is organized, knowledgeable, business savvy, performs well under pressure, and is hilarious. Now if you are as crazy a researcher as I was and would like to know more, keep reading… I have always dreamed about my wedding dress, not my wedding, just the dress. With that being said, I had absolutely no idea where to start when it came to wedding planning. When my husband and I got engaged in October of 2017 we decided that we were going to enjoy our engagement and not even think about wedding planning until 2018. When we started making calls to venues in January 2018 we were basically laughed at for thinking that we would be able to pull together a wedding by summer 2018. Those venues had clearly not met Whitney Nelson. On February 25, 2018 I sent Whitney an email after drooling all over her Instagram account, the subject of that email read “HELP, Summer 2018 Wedding”. Whitney responded in less than 24 hours! Who even does that anymore?! Already we were impressed. In her response she not only confirmed that she was available for the date that we were hoping for, but she reassured us that she could make our summer wedding a reality. Her confidence was exactly what our flipflopping selves needed. Our initial call with Whitney was frantic, disorganized and basically just me brain dumping on Whitney all of the crazy ideas we had for our wedding. To be honest we were surprised Whitney did not turn us away. She listened closely and by the end of the call she was able to repeat back to me a full list of action items. When we got off of the call with her it felt as if a huge weight was taken off of our shoulders. We now had an actual professional who was going to make sure our wedding was perfect for us, with all of the personality and unique touches that we were hoping for. I came to learn that this was one of the many things I would appreciate about Whitney, she was always open to listening. Whitney was officially our wedding planner and we were going to be married on August 11, 2018! Fast forward 6 months, 6 million phone calls/text messages/emails, we had the wedding of our dreams. Design: Whitney can do it all, she has the vision and loves unique. When I told her all of the things I “didn’t want”, she understood and offered other creative suggestions. Tracking: Whitney made sure that all of our vendors were organized, paid for on time, and that we were getting the best bang for our buck. Whitney has an incredible network of stellar vendors in all price ranges, all who clearly love working with her. It was SO nice to have Whitney to take on all of the footwork with these vendors so that we could just focus on the fun stuff! I didn’t have to send any more “are you available?” emails. HUGE relief. Day of: On my wedding day, the question I was asked the most was “how are you so calm??” My answer every single time would be, I have Whitney. I worked a full-time job up until the Thursday of my wedding weekend. No one at my company understood this. They shared stories of all of the last-minute things they had to do for their own weddings, and all of the stress they had been under, I had none of that. Hire Whitney, you will not regret it.

, Whitney ensured that our event was everything I want and more. She is an absolute rockstar! We were flooded by compliments from our guests on the weddings decor, flow, and vibe -- all thank you to Whitney. We had our wedding party on 5/12/18 @Vine Hill House in Sebastopol with a guest count of 80. Whitney is organized, creative, and just an absolute blast to work with. From finding the perfect place setting decor or fun accents on Etsy, Whitney's creative flair brought my boho, whimsical day to life. She is also very loved in the Sonoma area. Everything I mentioned to a vendor that Whitney was at the helm, they were beyond complimentary and so very excited to work with her again. Although I didn't articulate exactly I wanted well, Whitney had this miraculous way of taking the dream day I had in my head and bringing it to reality on May 12th. I highly recommend Whitney and can't wait until we get to work together again!

s and a drum set for music, plus a party the night before in town to welcome all the guests. Whitney handled our demanding and intensive planning (and personalities) incredibly well. Our venue didn’t provide anything, so we had tons of vendors, whom Whitney coordinated and organized flawlessly. Everything at our wedding was extremely customized, which is a lot of work, but Whitney was very on top of it and never missed a beat, plus she has awesome vendor-partners (EV Floral!!). On top of all of that, our entirely outdoor, fairly spread out wedding was crashed by what seemed like FEET of rain all the way up until an hour before the ceremony. We had to completely change our rental order, table set up, dance floor, ceremony, stage for the band AND kitchen area for the caterers the week of the wedding. I cannot express my gratitude for Whitney in that chaos. She literally just handled it, we told her our thoughts and she manifested it all – under the most giant tent I have ever seen! There are so many things she took care of, some I probably still have no idea about, but we had a beautiful and lovely wedding that everyone enjoyed. I would absolutely, 100% recommend Whitney to any and all Brides!!

's preparation and attention of detail was amazing! I highly recommend her!
