Santa Barbara Stunnin'
My husband and I had a completely different vision and our date was originally scheduled for May 2026 in Orange County but due to unfortunate circumstances we decided to pull in our date to Monday, November 3, 2025 to Santa Barbara. We made our change of plans late August and I found Rachel (Emerald Events LA) through Zola. After our phone consultation and explaining our situation to her, we decided to move forward with her because of her excellent communication and willingness to tackle our day with 2 months to plan. We had our ceremony at the Santa Barbara Courthouse in the Mural Room and our reception was at Arnoldi's Cafe. From the start, expectations were laid flat and communication was consistent and clear. Anytime I had a question, needed feedback / sounding board, or someone to vent to, Rachel was my wedding bestie. She made herself available, is an excellent buffer and facilitator, and she was highly professional and personable. Emerald Events LA went above and beyond - not only did she make this accelerated planning feel enjoyable, she also provided excellent wedding cake / dessert and florist recommendations. We appreciate her attention to detail and her ability to adapt to the hiccups of the day. She has an emergency bag filled with treasure troves to ensure we had what we needed for getting ready, securing items, whatever else we needed for the day, etc. Rachel developed a timeline that worked well for our vendors, facilitated and worked out the kinks in our rehearsal for an excellent ceremony execution. She ensured our reception (restaurant space) was set up and managed the vendors who joined us for dinner. We are extremely grateful for Emerald Events LA / Rachel and we couldn't be happier!
Emerald Events was a pleasure to work with
Emerald Events LA was an absolute pleasure to work with as a wedding vendor. Their communication style was fast, thorough, and detailed, which made the planning process seamless. The quality of their work and value they provided was exceptional - they were incredibly organized and delivered high-value services that I would definitely recommend to any couple. As the DJ for the event, Emerald Events LA made my job easy by coordinating everything so efficiently. They not only made the couple's day easier, but they made mine as well. I highly endorse Emerald Events and Rachel for any couple looking for a top-notch wedding planning experience.
Exceptional service and attention to detail
Rachel’s performance and professional approach throughout the day was impressive. Specifically, we had an issue with the insurance in our parking lot. Rachel made a couple of phone calls and resolved it within an hour… Crisis averted. Had it not been for her we would’ve had a serious parking dilemma on our hands! There were many situations throughout the day that I turned to her for assistance she listened and implemented a solution with grace and a calm attitude I had no idea all the details questions and details that would be thrown at us throughout the course of the day… But Rachel was ready with answers and solutions… With experience from other weddings to implement in ours. What a lifesaver. 3 A very, very long day… And Rachel stayed to the bitter end and beyond! We could not have done this without her
Forever Grateful
Emerald Events LA was an incredible wedding planner to work with. From the start, they demonstrated a thorough, open, and thoughtful communication style that put us at ease. Their experienced and detailed approach was invaluable throughout the planning process. On the day of our wedding, their incredible work ethic, professionalism, and attention to detail ensured everything went off without a hitch. Whenever I forgot something or needed assistance, Rachel from Emerald Events was there to handle it with ease. Many of our guests commented on how stress-free I was, which was a direct result of Emerald Events' amazing service. I trusted them completely, and they exceeded all of my expectations. I have already recommended them to my brother for his wedding and he’s not even engaged yet.
