Vanessa was a wonderful wedding planner. Our parents planned the wedding with her so this is mostly a review for the day of. Vanessa and her team crushed it on the day of our wedding. We had an Indian wedding that ran on time to the minute. There were subtle touches at every step that made our day even more special. Her team was a calming force and attentive to every possible need we could have even those we couldn't have predicted. The day had many twists and turns with surprises planned by various people and these were executed with perfection. These are all small touches but to have them while handling a large wedding with such ease is what really sets this team apart. I would recommend her without any reservations.

I cannot express how thankful I am for the extraordinary effort Vanessa put into making my dream fairytale wedding a reality. Her unwavering commitment and meticulous attention to detail did not go unnoticed, and I am genuinely appreciative of the magic she brought to every aspect of the event(s). She showcased not only unparalleled dedication but also an infectious, joyful, and energetic personality that made the entire planning process a delightful experience.From our initial consultation to the final moments of the celebration, her expertise and professionalism shone through. She took the time to understand my vision, and her ability to translate that vision into a beautifully executed reality exceeded my expectations. Every detail, from the floral arrangements, mandap, seating and last minute add ons/changes were flawlessly executed to bring my vision(s) to life.What truly stood out was her patience and understanding throughout the planning process. Her calm demeanor and reassuring presence helped alleviate any stress, turning what could have been a daunting experience into a joyous journey. Vanessa is a pleasure to work with an even better listener. She will listen to you and help come up with solutions to any problems that may arise, as well, even if it isn't related to the wedding itself. Her ability to navigate unforeseen challenges with grace and poise further highlights her expertise in the field.Thank you, Vanessa, for your tireless efforts, creativity, and the passion you brought to this special day. It was an absolute pleasure working with you, and I will forever cherish the memories of my dream wedding that you made possible. I could not have my dream wedding if it weren't for you and the wonderful vendors we worked with. Everything turned out beautiful, all thanks to you.

My now husband and I got married on 10/15/22. Vanessa was hands down the best decision I made about my wedding. I am intimidated to write this review, because I just don't think my words will be able to explain her work, her value, her professionalism.She was SO ORGANIZED the entire process. She helped me with my zillion questions. She helped me save money!I cannot imagine my wedding day without Vanessa and her staff: Cynthia and Debbie.They paid attention to every detail. I was fully supported in every way on my special day. My other vendors FREQUENTLY reached out to me to tell me how great she is! She had detailed timelines, notes for all vendors, helped me correspond with the venue, helped set up of the space, helped cue the ceremony. EVERYTHING! I went into the day knowing every little detail - and when and how it would be executed. I felt in perfect control (which is saying a lot for an anxious person like me). Vanessa and her staff stayed late to make sure everything was safely in our hotel room at the end of the night. Vanessa even got us a wedding gift! Ah! SO THOUGHTFUL! If you want to feel like you have the support, courage, and knowledge to get through the most important day of your life - HIRE VANESSA! You will not regret it! And EVERYONE INVOLVED in your wedding will thank you for her. Like I said, I feel this falls short of all she is and all she does. But...She is a life saver and a life changer. This was truly the happiest day of my life. And I know it's because you were there, so I could just relax and enjoy!Thank you Vanessa, Debbie, and Cynthia!

Vanessa and her team were fantastic! Anyone who has been to an Indian wedding knows how involved and chaotic they can be, so I was looking for someone who had experience with South Asian weddings. Vanessa ensured that everything ran on time the day of my wedding, and she and her assistants were a support system to me and my family. Vanessa was also very responsive in the months leading up to my wedding. We had only hired her for day of coordination but she was kind enough to recommend vendors (who turned out to be fantastic), read any vendor contracts before we signed, and provide input on other important wedding planning aspects. There were several instances where her experience saved us quite a bit of money, for which we are grateful. She is professional, very detail-oriented (has her own templates for everything), friendly, and approachable. Overall, I would highly recommend Vanessa for all your wedding planning/coordinating needs!

Vanessa worked with us (partial planning) on our wedding (Jan 2024). The wedding was a hybrid Peruvian-Indian wedding with elements (and a lot of family) from both cultures. TLDR: Vanessa is a star. We recommend 100%. Don't overthink it. Just book her. Great Cultural CompetencyVanessa has a ton of expertise with South-Asian weddings. I don't say this lightly; we spoke to several wedding planners who claimed to have "experience" with indian weddings. Most had barely read a wikipedia page or watched a youtube video and didn't know the elements of the wedding, the names for things, etc. Vanessa on the other hand knew the appropriate Hindi terms, the differences in weddings from different parts of india, and had enough cultural context to know how to (politely and respectfully) interact with older, traditional family members and make everyone feel welcome. This was a huge deal to me (personally). At the same, she is from Spain, and hence speaks Spanish fluently. She was able to joke, laugh and talk to all of my wife's Peruvian family. Vendor Sourcing/ManagementThis is another area where Vanessa shined. Vanessa helped us source a ton of vendors. She was on ALL calls with vendors and knew which questions to ask and what details to confirm. And she insisted on personally reviewing every contract from a vendor before we signed to make sure there were no fine-print "gotchyas" to worry about. She also was in constant contact with the vendors leading up to the event giving htem a detailed, color-coded binder with a (15 minute increment) scheduel fo the day for when vendors arrived, when they needed to complete set up, how breakdown worked, complete with photos of the venue she took with her phone, measurements, and other small details. (Honestly, this thing is impressive to review.)Responsiveness -- Vanessa is always on the ball. Ask her a question? She'll text you back an answer in five minutes. She's also flexible to use lots of modes of commujnication -- texts, phone calls, but also sharing google docs to jointly edit, sharing google presentations or Instagram posts to brainstorm ideas. Finally, I just want to say Vanessa is great with the little things. Wedding planning is stressful. Vanessa is warm and comforting. She checked in with our emotional state regularly, and even sent us a cute little "time to relax" gift after our wedding. If you're considering Vanessa and still unsure, I suggest reaching out to her and asking her to connect you with me. I'm happy to chat with you about our experience and how professional and lovely she is.

If you want someone who can help you plan the wedding of your dreams than Vanessa is the girl for you. On our first meeting, even before I hired her she was taking notes and making a timeline for me! She was never pushy and you can tell she truly does this because she loves her job. I had heard all the horror stories of the planners who take advantage of brides and secretly take kickbacks but this is NOT the case at all with Vanessa.I was at first skeptical about hiring someone to plan my Hindu-Jewish fusion wedding who was not of the same culture as me. Turns out I was very very very wrong. She knows more about these traditions than both my fiancé and I. She is always willing to go above and beyond. You can feel the warmth radiating from her and the knowledge.Planning a wedding half way across the country can seem daunting but Vanessa makes it so easy. My friends always comment that I must love wedding planning and I am the least stressed out bride but all credit goes to Vanessa. She literally carries all the stress. She is your friend, planner and therapist. I work a full time job and often call her on my drive home and we will start with how my day was and then we move to wedding details. She will always have your back. She has an extensive network of vendors she has worked with but also is always open to my suggestions of vendors I find. She has literally saved me thousands of dollars. My fiancé and I joked that she is our bodyguard in this crazy wedding industry world. Both of us are highly educated but Vanessa knows the right questions to ask and she also knows when something is not right. She is there to protect you.She will go over the details with a fine tooth comb. She will find people who fit your budget and style. She cares so much for her clients.The biggest mistake someone can make while planning their wedding is not hiring Vanessa. Hire her. You will not regret it

Vanessa is a very detailed oriented wedding planner to the extent that she may come off as anal at times. That is exactly what is expected of a good wedding planner - attention to minute details to establish a good time line of events on the day of the event. Her experience with managing large weddings was very useful as she foresaw things ahead of time that helped in mitigating risks. She is very personable and will go the distance to ensure that things run smoothly. She is also very hard working and person with impeccable taste and aesthetics. She has a good network of vendors and has maintained good relationship with them so that they can respond in emergencies.Our wedding venue was at Hummingbird Nest Ranch which came with bare minimum. Vanessa's coordinated effort bringing a host of vendors together resulted in the wedding running smoothly and in harmony.In closing, we were extremely happy with her services.
