With 10 months to plan a wedding weekend in Santa Cruz, and neither my partner or I being particularly great at planning things, we found Aimée and her team via a recommendation from our venue (The Sequoia Retreat Center). The moment we had an intro video call with her, we knew it was the perfect match! We went with the Coordination Package, which was a great mix between planning and typical day-of-coordination.

We really loved Aimée's unique take on weddings, her time and care towards our specific needs, and the communication we had with her. Aimée is reliable, well organized, has a deep knowledge of weddings and events, and is well connected with local vendors, making it that much less stressful to plan. There was a real focus on sustainability and supporting local business as well, which was so important to us. And, when we were overwhelmed leading up to the wedding, she was able to reel us back in and remind us of what our day was all about.

And when our wedding day/weekend came, it was everything we wanted! Aimée and her teammate Tara did so many things behind the scenes to make our weekend the absolute best at The Sequoia. Would highly recommend Aimée and her team!

After working with Aimee, I tell EVERY bride to do their research and invest in an incredible wedding planner as the most important purchase! We decided to work with a planner due to having a destination wedding. We specifically chose to work with Aimee for her incredible local connections and ability to understand and highlight what matters most to each couple. We couldn't have foreseen that she would be our calm center for a series of surprises: a global pandemic, and the arrival of our new son! When we decided to postpone our dream wedding by a year, she somehow quietly picked up all the pieces, contracted with the vendors, and let us know it was handled. (Our florist moved abroad, and Aimee even somehow found someone else local to step in and honor her same contract and vision.)

When we decided to move forward with starting a family and let Aimee know there would be a new baby as a guest of honor, she seamlessly secured childcare for us and worked my feeding schedule into our wedding day itinerary.

After two years of planning, when the very first local "bomb cyclone" in 30 years decided to hit Santa Cruz during our wedding, Aimee helped us come up with a beautiful plan B while honoring our original intent. (We got lucky that the storm passed over us, but she was incredible to work with during a big scare!)

Above all, she threw a wedding that many friends said was the best they'd ever attended.

I hope you do not have any unforeseen circumstances affect your wedding, but if you do, your investment with Aimee will pay off 10000000%.

First and foremost Aimee is absolutely incredible and we have absolutely no doubt our wedding would not have been the best day of our lives without her!

I spent many months poring over every review site I could find to look for wedding coordinators (NOT planners). My fiance and I are high school sweethearts and we had been planning our special day for a long time...and THEN covid hit and we had to postpone our wedding an entire year. I had a strong vision for our wedding and considered myself very organized. From the first meeting with Aimee we were immediately calmed by her professionalism, extensive experience and warm and friendly personality. We also loved learning about her involvement and passion for sustainability in the wedding industry. We hired Aimee and it was 100% THE BEST DECISION WE MADE!

As our coordinator the value Aimee added was invaluable. Our wedding venue was a nice hotel in Santa Cruz but (due to covid) had a TON of lack of communication. Aimee was there every step of the way to help navigate and advise us. The last 4 weeks Aimee completely took over and handled ALL communication with vendors coordinating with our venue. She took all of the communication off our plate and it was the biggest relief so we could spend the weeks leading up spending time together...stress free!

Day of we had a lot of little things that ultimately turned into big things ( covid testing checklist, last minute issues with venue, and helping make sure each item we brought went to the correct place). Aimee’s organization and communication were clear and absolutely essential to everything coming together. We trusted Aimee 100% to help make our wedding day perfect for us and she and her team delivered! We were so thankful she had our back every step of the way.

Throughout the 18 months we worked together Aimee's communication level was great. She held onto our vision and we were so thankful. She also had a ton of great ideas for us to implement like ordering everyone Mcdonalds after the wedding… HUGE HIT!

Aimee was so valuable, experienced and professional. If you are considering booking with Aimee DO NOT HESITATE she is wonderful and has become a lifelong friend.
