KB Weddings & Events is a Southern California-based planning service designed to create seamless, thoughtfully executed weddings. I work closely with each couple to bring their vision to life while keeping the process organized, calm, and stress-free. With a structured approach and a focus on the details, I make sure everything comes together exactly as it should. From Wedding Day Management to more involved planning support, I’m here to handle the logistics so you can truly enjoy the experience and be present for every moment.

If I could give Katie and the entire KB Weddings team more than 5 stars, I absolutely would! From the very beginning, Katie was an absolute joy to work with. She was incredibly responsive, reassuring, organized, and genuinely invested in making our wedding day everything we had envisioned. Wedding planning can be overwhelming, but every time I had a question or concern, Katie was there with guidance, encouragement, and a calm presence that helped ease my nerves. As our wedding day got closer, I found myself becoming more anxious, but knowing Katie was coordinating everything allowed me to truly relax and enjoy the experience. She brought our vision to life even more beautifully than we imagined. Every detail came together seamlessly, and the entire day flowed so smoothly that we were able to be fully present and soak in every moment. What made the experience even more special was how wonderful Katie was not only to me, but to my entire family and wedding party. Everyone commented on how kind, patient, professional, and caring she was throughout the day. She made everyone feel comfortable and supported, and it was clear that she genuinely loves what she does. We received countless compliments from our guests about how beautiful everything looked and how smoothly the wedding was run. That is a true testament to Katie’s hard work, attention to detail, and dedication. Thank you, Katie, and the entire KB Weddings team, for helping make our dream wedding a reality. We are forever grateful for your support, your kindness, and the incredible care you showed us every step of the way. I wholeheartedly recommend KB Weddings to any couple looking for a coordinator who will treat your wedding as if it were her own.

Awarded Best of Zola
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.

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
My husband and I had the absolute best experience working with Stephanie, Jenn, and Steven. From the moment we booked with them, I felt completely supported, cared for, and confident that our wedding was in good hands. The planning process: Stephanie is very professional, organized, and knowledgeable. She was always one step ahead and made what could have been an overwhelming planning process feel manageable and enjoyable. One of the biggest advantages of working with her is how well-connected she is within the San Diego wedding industry. Her package included monthly check-ins and access to Aisle Planner, which kept us organized and on track throughout the entire planning process. Her packages also include using decor in her inventory which was another huge perk! The wedding day: Jenn and Steven were amazing to work with. I DIY'ed all my florals, and I greatly appreciated their help in executing this (i.e. efficiently transporting 100 floral arrangements from my hotel to the venue the morning of the wedding as well as arranging them at the venue). I also want to highlight Jenn's calm presence and exceptional problem-solving skills. A few unexpected issues came up involving our vows and my dress, but Jenn quickly stepped in with thoughtful solutions. I can confidently say she saved the day multiple times. Stephanie and her team truly went above and beyond to bring our vision to life. Their dedication, attention to detail, and genuine care for their couples were evident in every interaction. I am so thankful for everything they did to make our wedding day feel seamless, beautiful, and unforgettable.

Slay Events was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, Lily was warm, attentive, friendly, and responsive to all questions we had. Her communication was top-notch, and she was extremely detail-oriented, ensuring that everything came together seamlessly for our special day. Her planning tools and quick thinking helped us thinking of many details we would have missed otherwise. Lily truly went above and beyond, even being willing to help us coordinate our tea ceremony (which we hosted the day before our wedding). We asked Lily if she would be open to helping us coordinate our tea ceremony about a month before the event when we realized that we were getting overwhelmed with the details. She was ready and jumped right in to help! Lily ran both our tea ceremony and the wedding flawlessly. We found out later that on both days she was addressing needs that came up without us even knowing - allowing us to focus on enjoying our special weekend as a couple. We got so many compliments from our family members on Lily's fantastic coordination skills. We cannot thank Slay Events enough for the fantastic service that allowed us to fully enjoy our wedding weekend. We strongly recommend Slay Events for all of your event coordination needs!

Our ceremony and reception went off without a hitch and I didn’t have a worry in the world. She also kept my dress FRESH! I didn’t think Wedding Day Styling was a thing but it is! Not only did she steam my dress to absolute perfection, helped me put it on to where it fit like a glove (after I faked getting ready photos with my mom lol), also bustled it in less than a minute, fluffed it out for photos, repackaged it at the end of the night, and overall made me feel like a princess living out her dream.

You can search us on your preferred search engine or social media. Bryce Gaston Events brings an unparalleled standard of detail to high-end weddings in Southern California. We'll plan your wedding seamlessly by prioritizing even the smallest details and designing a day that doesn't just look stunning but creates memories that last a lifetime. We service San Diego, Santa Barbara, Palm Springs, Temecula, Santa Ynez, Los Angeles, Orange County, and beyond.

Where do I even start!? Bryce completely blew us away! As the groom, I’ll admit, I went into wedding planning with the mindset of “we’ve got this, we can handle it all.” I was honestly hesitant about hiring a planner because I didn’t fully understand what they did. I quickly learned that I also did not know what it took to elevate a wedding from “just nice” to one where every single guest felt special, pampered and truly taken care of, from the jaw-dropping decor to the flawless floor plan. Bryce absolutely exceeded all expectations. She was incredibly patient and attentive to every single idea my wife and I threw her way. Bryce came to each meeting so prepared, calm and confident that we completely trusted her judgment and execution. Her organizational skills were top-notch, every action item was clear, graciously presented and backed with kindness. We felt like she was our champion, advocating for us with vendors and even the venue! And the best part? She made us feel like we were her only clients throughout the entire process. If you're planning a wedding in Southern California, you simply have to work with Bryce! Months after our wedding, my wife is still reaching out to her for random advice. Bryce is an absolute gem and she won’t let you down!

I hired Zoe for day of coordination but she was instrumental to an amazing wedding day. She was an absolute pleasure to work with, I would highly recommend!! On a day when you give your vendors complete trust, she made me feel super assured that everything would go smoothly and she would create a beautiful setting. She was such a calming presence on the day. I had help from my family in the wedding planning process but for day of coordination she helped in creating the timeline, ensuring it went smoothly, decor set up and breakdown, and much more. She’s involved heavily about a month before the wedding but she was very proactive in her duties even before then. On the wedding day when we strayed away from the timeline she was there coordinate with vendors and guests to make the transition so seamless our guests didn’t even notice. She had set up all of the decor and even went above and beyond to create a romantic setting. Her creative touch truly added a little magic. As a perfectionist sometimes she exceeded my expectations! She made everyone feel welcomed and relaxed on the day. She even picked up our florals the morning of to alleviate some of my stress, I’m so glad I went with Zoe and know anyone who works with her will leave with an amazing experience.

Being extremely type A, I was very hesitant at first when it came to finding the right planner, but I am so glad I found someone EVEN MORE type A than I was. Olivia was extremely helpful throughout our entire process and extremely detailed oriented. Every single vendor I worked with had nothing but amazing things to say about Olivia and how they're hoping they can work with her and her team again. When I was reading Olivia's reviews before, I saw a review that said she went the extra mile and took care of the dog that was in the wedding and I instantly knew she would be perfect as we had both our dogs in our wedding.

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!!

There are a lot of things that people regret on their wedding day. Maybe the flowers they chose or the music they picked or even some of the guests who were invited, but one thing that no bride will ever regret is hiring Corinne as their wedding coordinator. Not only did she coordinate my wedding which went off without a hitch, but I’ve assisted her in another wedding where I was able to witness firsthand just how much she does and how many small details she doesn’t let slip through the cracks. She strives to make the bride and groom as comfortable as possible, and to have to worry about as little as possible. She has an eye for detail, a commanding yet kind presence when instructing others, and most importantly, she makes sure that the bride and groom are able to truly enjoy the time together on their big day.

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.

Miranda was absolutely amazing. We worked with her for a year to plan for our Sonoma wedding. She was recommended from a friend whose wedding she also planned and it was stunning. Even though she was not from the Sonoma area, she did an amazing job finding everything from the venue, to the vendors, photographer, and DJ. She has great attention to detail and really makes you feel at ease in the planning process. We had absolutely no idea what we wanted or what we were doing, but she made both me and my husband way less stressed on every matter. We even had a last minute DJ issue and she found us a new one right away. She helped set up food tastings and made sure we were on track for the big day in terms of seating charts and other small details. The wedding was perfect and she did a fantastic job telling us exactly what to do and where to be. She even helped my brother, the officiant, with what he was suppose to say during the ceremony, as this was his first time officiating. She did the signage, decor, literally everything and alleviated all the stress and jitters on our day. I couldn’t recommend her enough to plan and help on your day. I’d hire her again ten times over! Thank you, Miranda!!

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!

Founded in 2010, Sweet Blossom Weddings is a full service wedding planning boutique based in San Diego. We understand that love is in the details and your wedding is an experience that should last a lifetime for you and your guests. Our goal is to design a wedding that is unique to the couple and defines their personality through working together one-on-one in a relaxed and stress-free environment. With our guidance and expertise, we will help you with your wedding, your vision, and your dreams to make it the most memorable day.

We had the pleasure of working with Sweet Blossom Weddings as our wedding coordinator. Our venue had spoken highly of them so we reached out and were very happy! We had a brief call with the owner, Melissa, and we could tell she was very kind and cared a lot about her couples. We chose the Pear Blossom wedding management service and it was perfect for our needs. Our lead planner, Emily C., jumped into action about 3-4 months before the wedding day. Emily wasn't able to attend our tasting but Melissa stepped in to help guide us and it was so much fun! Emily was so professional, kind, attentive and open to helping us whenever we needed. It was so assuring to have her offer to jump on a zoom call when we needed it! We were so thankful for her to make the timeline, offer recommendations on rentals and so much more. She was so incredible and played a big role in making our wedding day feel so perfect. Emily kept us even more organized and we truly don't think our wedding day could have gone any more seamless all thanks to her! If there were any problems, she handled them gracefully and coordinated everything with ease. We couldn't be more grateful to SBW and of course, Emily! Also shoutout to our day of assistants, Emily P. and Camille for their hardwork!!

We worked with Kristi from Everlasting Events for our wedding at Sunset Cliffs and I truly cannot recommend her enough. From the very beginning, she was so organized, responsive, and thoughtful with every detail. She helped us with permits, timelines, vendor recommendations, and answered every little question I had (and I had a lot!). She made the planning process feel so much less overwhelming and really cared about making everything run smoothly. On the wedding day, Kristi and her team handled everything with such professionalism and warmth. The ceremony setup was beautiful, everything stayed right on track, and I never had to worry about a thing. She kept us calm and made sure the experience was stress-free so we could actually enjoy the moment. If you’re looking for someone who is not only experienced but also kind, patient, and genuinely invested in making your day special, Kristi is the one. We are so grateful for her and the role she played in making our wedding everything we dreamed of.

Krista was a major support throughout the planning process. She consistently made it clear that she was available to answer questions and offer guidance whenever we needed it. The wedding day itself flowed smoothly thanks to her and her team’s organization and attention to detail. I was very specific about how I envisioned everything looking and the decorations I brought, and they put everything together even better than I had imagined. Weddings can feel stressful because you have a vision, but can’t personally manage every detail on the day of the wedding. With Krista and her team, you can trust they will handle everything so you can be present and enjoy the moment.

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!

Creative Happens Events was founded in 2017 by Daniel DeSantis-Mallia. An experience Event Planner, Daniel's goal was to offer Wedding and Event Planning services that are both affordable and high quality. Our offerings are designed to ensure our clients can relax and enjoy their celebrations. We treat every event as though it is our client's most important day. The special moments in our lives also tend to be the most creative moments. That is where our tagline comes in, "When Life Happens, Creative Happens!"

We are beyond grateful for everything Chris did to make our wedding day truly exceptional. From start to finish, he went above and beyond—far exceeding our expectations in every way. His professionalism, calm demeanor, and incredible attention to detail gave us complete confidence from the moment we started working together. Every part of the day came together beautifully, and it was clear that Chris's behind-the-scenes dedication made all the difference. Guests were literally raving about him—comments like “Where did you find Chris?! I’ve never seen a planner hustle like that” and “I saw him run up and down those stairs a dozen times before the ceremony!” were just a few of the compliments we heard. Several couples even asked for his contact info on the spot, which speaks volumes. A personal highlight: the care Chris showed my sister before her speech meant the world to us. He went out of his way to reassure her and help her feel confident—his kindness and thoughtfulness truly stood out. He also handled last-minute hiccups (including a DJ situation and a centerpiece mix-up) with total grace and professionalism, allowing us to stay fully present and enjoy the celebration without stress. Chris is experienced, compassionate, and incredibly dependable. He made our wedding not only beautiful, but seamless and stress-free. On top of that, his rates are more than fair—honestly, he could charge more and still be an amazing value for the caliber of service he delivers. If you're lucky enough to have Chris on your wedding team, you're in the best possible hands.
