I contacted Terri, at TMF, to discuss my daughter’s upcoming bridal shower and she was amazing!  I had a few ideas of what I was looking for and she understood what I was imagining and really refined what I was thinking and converted my few thoughts into a cohesive theme and a beautiful event for my daughter! The bridal shower was beautiful!  The decor, theme, drinks, food, tables and chairs, decorations, umbrellas… and so many details… all came together so beautifully. It was quite impressive to see the event space transformed into my daughter’s dream shower! Because Terri is so creative, organized, resourceful and is a great communicator, I was able to host my daughter’s bridal shower and actually participate and enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime moment stress free.  I highly recommend contacting Terri/TMF to anybody who wants a true professional to create an amazing event guests will really love and you can be proud to host.

I thoroughly enjoy working with you to create your perfect day and seeing you enjoy your day to the fullest. My wealth of experience centers on bringing out the individuality of the couple. By bringing my creativity and wedding experience to each aspect of the planning process, I will ensure your wedding will be The Perfect Knot.

Lucy is such a meticulous, kind, thoughtful, hard-working, personable and collaborative wedding planner that it is hard to write a review glowing enough to fully capture how pleased we were to work with her. Suffice it to say, that in whatever capacity, you’ll want her involved in your own wedding if you want to enjoy your day to the fullest. “Weddings are stressful” is the conventional wisdom. Incredibly less stressful with the assistance of a wedding planner as capable and skilled as Lucy Tan. She was adept at including everyone in the process while prioritizing our vision of the perfect wedding. Whenever we felt flustered, Lucy was calm and prepared with a solution at hand. The enjoyment of our wedding day by all in attendance was in no small part due to Lucy’s attentiveness. Additionally, she had great relationships with all of our vendors and the venue. They loved working with her as much as we did! We highly recommend working with Lucy Tan and the Perfect Knot!

Thanks for visiting Breezy Day, we are so happy you are here! We are a sister team in San Diego, committed to helping you make your engagement & wedding day a breeze! WE CANNOT WAIT TO GET TO KNOW YOU!

I had such a great experience working with this team. Heather and Courtney brought a happy, thoughtful, and professional energy to every part of the process, and really helped bring the wedding together in a way that felt personal and seamless. Heather handled the florals, and she completely understood the feel I was going for — even when I only had a few reference photos and loose ideas. I sent her pictures of the Marin hills in bloom, and she created something beautiful and unique with that inspiration. The floral arch was stunning, and her idea to run wildflower-inspired arrangements down the center of the tables made it feel like guests were sitting in a field of flowers. She brought the florals to my parents house the next day for our brunch and we were thrilled that we could continue to enjoy the beauty she created. Courtney managed coordination and was incredibly organized and responsive throughout. She kept track of all the moving parts, made helpful suggestions for how to use the venue, and offered so much of her time — from emails to zoom calls and venue walk throughs. I’m so impressed that we were able to leave her with a truck load of decorations some loose instructions and arrived to the venue to find it was set up perfectly. She is filled with positive energy and you will always feel her love and support throughout the process!

If you are undecided on a coordinator, just stop here. Carolyn made our wedding day the most perfect stress free experience. Any hiccups that happened she took care of without having my husband and I getting involved to worry. She communicated with us monthly up until the wedding to make sure we were on track with getting everything done and always offered to help with anything if we needed it. The timeline she made for us was perfect. We even finished early with pictures before our ceremony giving us even more time than intended to touch up and relax before the big moment. The set up looked better than I had pictured, thanks to her. I really can’t say enough great things about her, truly, she’s the best! She is the sweetest superwoman who does it all. 100/10, go with Fete Events!!

The Perfect Pair Wedding 
Rating: 5.0 (28 reviews)
  • Offers 4 services

  • Serves Poway, CA

Hi! I am Clemence the face behind The Perfect Pair Wedding :) I am born & raised in France, in the city of love Paris. During college I got the chance to do a semester abroad in San Diego, and met this really special, handsome, American guy... You see it coming? YES! After 3 years of long distance relationship, I finally married the love of my life. A little bit about The Perfect Pair Wedding... it is a San Diego based Wedding planning company, we plan & design weddings all over Southern California to bring to life our Perfect Pair's dreams.

Awarded Best of Zola
Where do we even begin? Before hiring Clémence, we met over a video call, getting to know each other to make sure we worked well together. We think this is an essential step in choosing any wedding planner, since ideas need to be communicated in both directions. Being on the same page about the vision of your wedding is key. It did not take long at all for us to know that she was the absolute best choice for us. Clémence is incredibly friendly and holds herself to such a high standard, and that shows in the work she does. She has an entire process for planning that includes timelines of when things are to be done, vendors are to be booked, and more. Everything is laid out clearly, and she checks in regularly to make sure things are on track. These timelines start from several months before the wedding and go all the way down to the day itself. She makes it known that she wants your day to be exactly how you want it and works hard to achieve that. Whenever we had a new idea or a modification to an existing one, she was always open to hearing it and working to make it happen. We went with an Italian garden-style theme for our wedding, and Clémence executed that vision perfectly. We somehow seemed to be on the same wavelength about everything. Not only did she follow through on executing our ideas, but she also incorporated her own input that fit into the wedding and expanded on it perfectly. As first-time bride and groom, we struggled with knowing how to budget properly. Clémence helped us spend in places where it made the most sense for us and save on things we didn't need. Bit of a random anecdote, but we wanted to have pizza at the end of our afterparty. Our initial search was going to have us spending hundreds of dollars to have standard pizzas delivered to our venue. Clémence saved the day when she found an even closer shop that made heart-shaped pizzas for a fraction of the cost. As Clémence has been doing this for a while now, she's gained rapport with several vendors and was able to speak to the quality of their work and service. This took so much pressure off of us, since we didn't merely have to trust the sales pitch of whatever vendors we happened to find on our own. Once we had our vendors locked in, Clémence took care of managing timelines for each, such as when to meet with them, choosing items for the wedding, and payment schedules. Not only does she work her hardest when she's by your side, she also has your back when you don't even notice. Nearly a month after the wedding, we found out that our venue's staff was incredibly rude and unhelpful to our vendors. This forced everyone to work at 110% to compensate for the lack of assistance. However, the way Clémence handled this was with such grace and professionalism that we didn't notice, nor did any of our guests, that things weren't running smoothly. Her integrity is truly inspiring. As cheesy as it may sound, we've gained a genuine lifelong friend in Clémence. The influence and quality of her work extend far beyond wedding planning. If it wasn't clear already, we cannot recommend Clémence enough. Her work speaks for itself and was by far the best investment we made for our wedding.

Working with Stephany and Erika with Forevermore was such a wonderful experience and I am so so beyond happy that we went with them to help keep our day organized and on track. In terms of planning: We got married at Monserate Winery and they knew the venue and everything relating to it like the back of their hand. This eased so much stress for us. From the very start of our meetings with them I felt taken care of and a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. Scheduling meetings was easy and they were always able to answer my questions. They were in contact with all of our vendors and made sure everyone else had what they needed. Truly the months leading up to the wedding I was able to focus on other items and felt like their team was on track and taking care of everything they needed to! Wedding Day: I had not a single ounce of stress day of. Erika and Stephany took care of anything and everything. They always had a beverage ready for me/my husband, kept the timeline completely on track, and were able to take care of anything we needed spur of the moment. They set up all my decor exactly as I was hoping and everything looked so beautiful. Things could not have gone more smoothly. People always say something will go wrong day of but genuinely if anything did, I didn't know about it and Stephany and Erika took care of it. I would recommend everybody to pick Stephany and her team to help plan their day, I cannot suggest them enough! 1000000/10. Everyone in our bridal party/guests thought they were so lovely to work with as well. Thank you Forevermore Team!

From the beginning, Bryce took my vision and brought it to life in a way that exceeded our expectations and what we even thought was possible. Bryce not only ensured every detail was perfect but also advocated for us when it came to dealing with a VERY challenging venue that fought us on just about everything. Her extensive relationships with vendors gave us access to the best options, and she skillfully negotiated on our behalf, always keeping our best interests at heart. Even when my hair and makeup canceled 9 days before the wedding, she was able to help me secure the best artist who was better than who I'd originally chosen, myself. When the venue’s freight elevator broke on the day of the event, Bryce already had a Plan B in place, ensuring everything went off without a hitch. Thanks to her preparation and quick thinking, the day was flawless and our guests are still talking about our wedding!

Her experience is truly unmatched. Truly every detail and minute of the day was accounted for with aisle planner and a schedule.

She was always accessible and had a creative solution for any issue that arose. I can't say enough about Bryce, but I know that we genuinely couldn’t have done this without her. I learned so much from working with her and I am forever grateful for how she brought my dream vision to life.

Zoe put in so much hard work leading up to the wedding and especially on the day of. She pulled off a huge afternoon tea wedding with grace, good cheer, and patience. Everything was just so beautiful, I didn’t want it to end! Every time I talk to my mama about what an incredible job she did she says Zoe never stopped working so quickly and efficiently the whole day!! From the moment I spoke with Zoe, I knew I wanted her to be the one to make my afternoon tea wedding reception come true! She is so kind and organized and quick to respond to questions. She made a timeline for the wedding and added teacups, teapots, and a cute cart to the timeline so it wasn't just text on white paper. She really is more of a months-before-coordinator instead of a day-of-coordinator. She responded to texts and emails quickly and helped me stay calm leading up to the wedding day. Zoe met me, my then future husband, my mama and dad, and our caterer at the bridge club about two weeks before the big day. She helped figure out where everything was going to go and had a contingency plan in case it rained (which it did) She timed out how long it would take for my parents to walk me down the aisle so we knew how long we could let the processional song play. On the big day, it was raining but that didn't spoil Zoe's mood or ability to put everything together in a timely manner. She worked alongside our tea service person to set 14 tables with different color tablecloths, mismatched teacups, saucers, bread plates, luncheon plates, 3-tiered stands, water glasses, coupe glasses, napkins, decorative books, table numbers, bud vases, and wedding favors for 52 people. She also set-up our welcome table with bread and butter, water dispensers, guest book, and library card catalog for the seating chart. In addition to all this, she made sure I had my bouquet and was ready to walk down the aisle on-time, played the 3 different songs we had for the ceremony, and wrangled the guests to be seated and placed our floral arrangements on either side of the alter. During the afternoon tea she poured water, Prosecco, and sparkling apple cider for everyone. She played our Spotify playlist from her phone and brought out the wedding cake for us to cut. Once the reception was over, she and our tea server packed up all of the items so our Taskrabbit person could take everything back to our condo. She did this so quickly and efficiently and told me and my husband we didn't need to help. I really don't think we could have pulled off such a huge event without her!! Oh! and she was so sweet during the getting ready portion of the day, she gave me a glass teapot ornament as a wedding day gift (((*warm fuzzies*)))

Stephanie Wooding (Owner / Lead Planner) When it comes to planning your event, it’s really about how that person (or team) embraces and uses that job experience in a resourceful and creative way. I’m a practical, organized, creative, resourceful, and resilient, “jeans and t-shirt” type chick. Well, the San Diego part of me is anyway. The LA in me is a driven, problem-solving, A-type, “take no guff” lady boss, that gets the job done on time, and within a realistic budget.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring Stephanie Wooding and Best Day Ever was the reason we were able to actually enjoy our wedding day. We met with other planners, but Stephanie stood out right away — she’s warm, grounded, and incredibly organized. From the start, she made the process feel less overwhelming and helped us make smart decisions without pressure. Leading up to the wedding, Stephanie helped us stay focused, keep all the details moving, and feel confident that nothing would fall through the cracks. Then, about a month out, we transitioned to her associate Jenn Anderson as our day-of coordinator. We were a little nervous about switching that close to the wedding, but it ended up being seamless. Stephanie clearly set Jenn up for success, and Jenn was phenomenal — calm, proactive, and completely unflappable. The day itself felt smooth and stress-free, and multiple guests even told us how impressed they were by the coordination. That’s the biggest compliment — because it meant we got to be present, have fun, and soak it all in. We’re so grateful to Stephanie and Jenn, and we would recommend Best Day Ever to anyone who wants their wedding to feel truly taken care of.

Olivia is, without a doubt, one of the sweetest, most caring, and thoughtful people I’ve ever met. She was an absolute joy to work with from start to finish during our wedding planning process. I still remember our first phone call—it went nearly 30 minutes over because chatting with her was so easy and fun. From that moment, I knew she was the perfect match to be our planner. Olivia is incredibly detail-oriented and truly committed to making your day perfect. As a type-A person myself, I deeply appreciated her meticulous approach and her ability to stay on top of every little detail. My mom was especially impressed with Olivia from the moment they met at our venue tasting. Olivia managed all our vendors flawlessly and paid close attention to the small touches that made our day feel so personal and “us.” With my parents living across the country, it meant the world to them to be able to fully enjoy the weekend knowing Olivia had everything handled. Our wedding day was everything we dreamed of—and more—thanks to Olivia and her amazing team. I would recommend her to absolutely anyone!

From the moment we started working with Samantha Vande Vegte, we knew we were in great hands. Her communication style was quick, hands-on, and extremely knowledgeable. Samantha's passion, happiness, creativity, and heartfelt approach truly shone through in every aspect of our wedding planning. We had initially told ourselves we didn't need a coordinator, but Samantha informed us of so many important details we never would have thought of on our own. She went above and beyond to ensure our special day ran smoothly, from arranging hors d'oeuvres between the ceremony and reception to keeping everything on a perfect timeline. We had time to fully enjoy ourselves and connect with our loved ones, all thanks to Samantha's incredible organizational skills and intuitive problem-solving. Samantha is honest, flexible, and so passionate about her work - you can tell she truly loves what she does. We would regret not hiring Samantha as our wedding coordinator, as she made our day absolutely perfect.

San Diego Life Events was founded by a San Diego local with a passion for planning weddings and events. Wedding Planning and Day Of Coordination is our specialty, and creating memorable events is what San Diego Life Events is known for. We listen to our Clients, and will work with you to bring your celebration to life! We are well-known in the community for our personable team, vendor connections, budget-savvy flexibility, and sense of urgency to deliver in even the shortest of deadlines.

From the very beginning, Rachel was not only a sweetheart but also a true professional. We hired her for Day Of coordination for our wedding at the Catamaran, and she made sure everything was planned perfectly and ran like a dream. When the notorious bike riders of Mission Beach rolled by just before the ceremony, Rachel skillfully timed the start to make sure they cleared the area. It was such a perfect day, and we truly couldn't have done it without her!

Taylored To You Events was absolutely essential to making our wedding everything we dreamed of. From the very beginning, Taylor guided us through the planning process with so much expertise and care. She handled all vendor communications seamlessly, which was a huge weight off our shoulders, and crafted a detailed day-of timeline that ensured everything ran like clockwork. My (now) wife and I tend to stress over details, but Taylor’s experience and professionalism made her incredibly effective at keeping everything organized and on track. Her 30-day takeover was a lifesaver—it allowed us to step back, enjoy the final weeks leading up to the wedding, and trust that everything was in great hands. On the wedding day, Taylor’s team executed everything perfectly. We didn’t have to worry about a single thing because her careful planning and coordination ensured every detail was taken care of. If you’re debating whether to plan your wedding on your own or hire a coordinator, do yourself a favor—invest in Taylor’s services. The peace of mind and flawless execution are worth every penny. Highly recommend Taylored To You Events!

From the moment we booked Spark & Sage Events to coordinate our wedding, we knew we were in good hands. Amanda and her team were incredibly helpful, ultra communicative, consistent, and dependable throughout the entire planning process. Her attention to detail and clear communication style made our wedding day a low-stress experience. Amanda was SO attentive to guests, answered their questions, and managed vendor communications seamlessly. We also were able to have multiple meetings before the day, as well as for the rehearsal. She provided us with a list of amazing vendors and even lent us some additional items we could borrow on the day. It also felt very comforting that she not only got married at our venue (Scripps Seaside Forum), but also knew almost all of our vendors intimately from past weddings/events. Having access to AislePlanner and a venue planning site was such a game changer and helped us feel like we had a strong hold on the planning process. We truly received so many compliments from our guests about how smoothly everything ran. Spark & Sage Events provided high-value, affordable service, and I would recommend them time and time again to any couple looking for an experienced, dependable wedding coordinator!!

Working with Corinne as our wedding coordinator was truly one of the best decisions we made for our big day. From the very beginning, she was extremely responsive, adaptable, and just an all-around joy to be around. Her calm demeanor brought so much peace to what could have easily been a stressful process. Knowing Corinne was in our corner gave me full confidence going into the wedding day. Corinne brings with her years of experience overseeing events at a camp that hosted thousands of people each week giving her a depth of experience showed in every detail. She was efficient, thoughtful, and handled everything with grace. A few things I really appreciated: – She never once came to me on the wedding day with problems or logistical questions—she just handled it. – Her advice throughout the planning process was spot on and incredibly helpful, often offering suggestions that saved us money or simplified things in ways we hadn’t thought of. – She was adaptable and quick on her feet with any changes or challenges that came up. As someone who works in the wedding industry myself, I’ve seen a lot of coordinators in action—and Corinne is by far the best I’ve ever witnessed. Having a coordinator you completely trust changes everything, and that’s exactly what Corinne gave us. I can’t recommend her enough.

I have been officially working as a professional wedding planner since 2017. My love of all things weddings and events began at an early age. I worked at a country club in the summers before my freshman and sophomore year of college, I worked on the food and beverage staff which included being a banquet server, and can you guess which was my favorite shift to work, you guessed it, the weddings. Once I got to the point in my life where my friends were starting to get engaged and I was a bridesmaid in their weddings, I found myself taking on extra duties and wanting to be more involved that it hit me, I need to pursue being an event planner.

I can't say enough great things about Miranda and her team! From our first conversation, we immediately connected with her and she already felt like a friend. She quickly understood our vision for our wedding and what was important to us. She encouraged us to make it very personal and unique--she never shot down any weird ideas we might've had but also brought an experienced perspective, while also keeping us on track with all of the little details and scheduling. She was so well-organized and professional while also keeping things stress-free, light, and fun. There were no questions too big, too small, or too personal with all the drama that can come with such a big event. Miranda was easy to reach via text/email, and took the initiative to reach out and schedule check-ins when needed to make sure we stayed on track with the huge to-do list that comes with a wedding. Her vendor recommendations & other suggestions were awesome, but she also respected a couple of the areas where we found our own vendors with no questions asked. She truly helped us get every detail settled, down to the napkins and our catering order details. She took all the stress off once we got to the month of and leading up to the wedding day, confirming with our vendors so we didn't have to worry about it whatsoever. Our wedding day went seamlessly thanks to her--it sounds cliche but it was the most fun and beautiful day ever and we were able to really enjoy it thanks to Miranda. We couldn't have asked for a better planner and I would recommend her to anyone getting married in the SD area! She also helped us with signage for the day-of and did a beautiful job at a super reasonable price.

I really enjoyed working with them. They were prompt in their responses and so easy to work with. The flower wall was absolutely beautiful, and you can tell they take pride in their presentation. They were very accommodating when we needed to shift from an outdoor event to an indoor one because of the rain. The entire process from start to finish was smooth. I highly recommend them for their professionalism and their stunning product. I hope to work with them again on another event!

Detailed, organized, friendly, and just an overall wonderful human being. We hired Karen for 2-month coordination and right off the bat, she was such a thoughtful planner and her willingness to guide us through anything and everything was amazing. I love a good spreadsheet and Karen has the best!!! Every meeting with her was so productive and we left each one with clear next steps/homework. The day of the wedding, everything went SO smoothly. Karen and her team took care of setting up all of our decor and they did so beautifully! When I arrived to the venue and saw everything, I was taken aback by how stunning everything looked — we had a mix of florals, candles, and fruit for our decor so getting everything set up was no small feat. Karen’s creative eye flawlessly brought my vision to life and I am so so grateful! Outside of decor, Karen’s organization, vendor communication, and speedy cleanup at the end of night was top-notch. We were able to truly enjoy the night, knowing Karen was there. She even took fun videos of the reception on my phone, which were great to watch the morning after to help relive the night :’) Literally each one of my vendors raved about how much they loved working with Karen — if that’s not enough to convince you to hire her for your next event, idk what is! SUCH a pro. Would 100% recommend Karen to any couple!
