  • Worth every penny!

    We had an out of state wedding, and wedding planning across the country is very difficult! It became apparent very early that we would need a coordinator who lived in California. It was worth every penny! Michele and Dan had answers for every question, had incredible attention to detail, and were invaluable to our wedding day. Whether you are getting married in your home town or far away, they are experts in their field! Definitely recommend!!

    So many people talk about how difficult wedding planning is and how stressful the day-of is, but I truly felt like I was on vacation working with Distinctively Made Events. Michele and Dan (DME) made my wedding day absolutely PERFECT. All of the effort they put into planning paid off - literally nothing went wrong on the wedding day, I couldn't believe it. DME also knows so many people within the industry so we got a lot of great deals and got to work with such amazing vendors that we wouldn't have had access to without them. I am forever grateful for Distinctively Made Events.

    Our wedding day was an absolute dream come true, and we owe it all to Michele & Dan at Distinctively Made Events. From the moment we hired her, Michele demonstrated her expertise and dedication, particularly in managing contracts and ensuring our big day went off without a hitch. Negotiating contracts can be a scary part of the wedding planning process, but Michele took all our worries away. We ran into some trouble with a few of the contracts that might have resulted in extremely stressful situations, but she smoothed everything over for us and navigated the potentially awkward conversations with grace, ultimately saving us both time and money. DME’s attention to detail is remarkable - they really listened to our ideas and turned them into a reality. On the day of the wedding, Michele & Dan were true miracle workers. If there were any troubles, we didn’t know about them - they kept us stress-free and allowed us to fully enjoy every moment of our special day. Distinctively Made Events goes above and beyond to ensure their clients' happiness and peace of mind. If you're looking for a wedding planner who can turn your dreams into reality and guarantee a flawless wedding day, look no further than DME. We are forever grateful for their hard work and dedication in making our wedding day the best day of our lives. Thank you, Michele & Dan!

    We hired Michelle to be our day of coordinator for our wedding at the Madonna Inn. Her and her husband were so important in making sure the day went smoothly, while allowing us to fully enjoy the day because we knew they had it taken care of. Michelle hired additional people to help set up our reception space in the short 1.5 hour time slot allotted for setup. She found a way to make sure our room was stocked with in-n-out burgers for the after party. She convinced the venue to let us dance for an extra half hour, and much more. We are so glad we had her there to make sure everything went well behind the scenes.
