The greatest wedding planner of all time!

It is so hard to put into words what Natalie and her team at Surraya Events meant to us. She created the best day of our lives flawlessly and we will always be grateful to her! From the second we first spoke we knew she was incredibly attentive to detail. Without skipping a beat she would recall comments we made earlier in the conversation and circle back to answer any previous questions. She is a master communicator, incredible organizer, go-getter, and a truly sweet person. When choosing a wedding planner or coordinator it was most important to us that we receive value out of the cost. When I say Natalie blew us away I really mean it! She went above and beyond our contract to complete the wedding day vision. Her ability to coordinate vendors is next level; she is so talented at quickly getting answers to people that need one. It's worth mentioning also that her team is incredibly kind and kept us calm during the day when she was busy setting up. Walking into our cocktail hour and reception was the most moving and emotional experience because of Natalie's dedication. Reflecting on our wedding is such a joy because of Natalie's hard work! She has a forever friend and fan in us and we can't wait to watch her continue to master this industry!!
The Best!

We loved working with Natalie and would highly recommend. We initially started as just coordination but once we started working with her and seeing how great she was we immediately bumped up to full planning. She planned our dream wedding in just under 4 months - totally took care of all logistics, vendor sourcing and coordination, and design. You’re in great hands with Natalie. Throughout the planning process, people would ask how it was going and we weren’t stressed at all - Natalie took care of everything. She’s super responsive, understanding and one step ahead. She is so creative, executes flawlessly and is a pleasure to work with! Book her!!

Working with Surraya Events for our Santa Barbara wedding was truly incredible! Among the many planners we met, Natalie just instantly clicked with us. Natalie’s design expertise is indeed top-notch. We aimed for our wedding to exude uniqueness and fun, and she effortlessly translated our vision into a timeless and authentic reflection of us. Her knowledge of Santa Barbara, coupled with her honesty regarding where to invest and where to save, proved to be a game-changer in navigating the pricey wedding scene. For us, establishing a genuine connection and truly understanding us as a couple mattered more than we had anticipated. Natalie turned what could have been a stressful process into an enjoyable experience. She was consistently available and proactive in addressing every question and need along the way! On the wedding day, she was nothing short of amazing—anticipating needs and ensuring everything ran seamlessly, leaving our family and friends in awe from the flawless design to guiding us through the event. The moment we walked into the reception will forever be etched in our memories—Natalie went above and beyond! She's more than a wedding planner; she swiftly became a lifelong friend. Our big day would have felt incomplete without her. Our gratitude for Natalie is beyond measure—highly recommending Surraya Events feels like an understatement.

Natalie was amazing!! She listened to our desired wants/look and feel for the wedding and brought it to life. She created a variety of design boards for us to choose from and react to. Once we nailed down the look and feel with her it was a seamless process from choosing florals, a photographer/videographer, catering, cocktails, transportation, and rentals; all vendors that we chose from were based on a big list that Natalie provided. We were able to sift through the options and choose the ones that best fit our style/needs/budget! Natalie is kind, attentive, responded to all questions in a timely manner, and was an all around professional. On the day of the wedding she had everything taken care of, we did not have to think of one thing during the day. We were able to be present and enjoy the most magical and fun day that wouldn't have been possible with out her!! We couldn't recommend her and her team enough for your wedding planning needs!
