We worked with Brandi Smith for "day of" coordination services for our daughter's 4/18/13 wedding at Casino San Clemente. That basically covered pulling everything we planned together and producing a timeline as well as management of our vendors and on site management of the day.

Brandi and her assistant, Dawn, were readily available by phone or email for the 2 months prior to the wedding to answer any questions we had, and to give us referrals and recommendations as needed and requested. They were so very friendly and professional, putting us immediately at ease! Their service was perfect for us, since both my daughter and I enjoyed doing our own research into vendors for the day.

The wedding rehearsal and wedding day went so smoothly because of High Society's presence, and I could fully relax with the knowledge that they had everything going. I didn't need to check on a single thing to be sure it was handled! Thank you so much Brandi and Dawn!

High society wedding and event planning were Godsends! I had an extremely short engagement (3 months) and without the expert advice and help from Brandi and Dawn, I don't know what I would have done. Every time I was stuck in the wedding planning process they were available, understanding, helpful and relatable. Before meeting with HSEP, my fiancé and I were stressing about all of the minutia, but the moment we met with Brandi we both had a huge sigh of relief. We could tell in just the short introductory meeting, that we were in VERY capable hands. She totally understood our vision, and saw it through to the last detail. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect, because of the dedication to detail, the professionalism, the sensitivity and the friendliness of High society wedding and event planning. I would hire them a thousand times over again! Thank you so much HSEP!

I had the pleasure of working with Brandi and her team for the past year to plan and coordinate my April 2013 wedding. I could not recommend Brandi, Dawn and all the girls at High Society more highly.

They were amazing. Not only were the professional, responsive, flexible and creative, but they were super personable, fun and nice! It felt like I was planning a wedding with my longtime friend rather than someone I had met recently. Brandi and Dawn both had great ideas for vendors as well as tips and tricks to help in the planning process. They helped me set a budget, provided vendor suggestions and also were a wonderful resource for all those questions that come up. Their experience really provided a wealth of helpful information that put me at ease during what can be a stressful process. They helped me navigate the ins and outs of throwing a wedding for 150 guests and made it fun and easy! They were especially helpful in working with the caterer, florist, and band to help execute an event that fit my budget as well as my vision.

The day of coordination was absolutely perfect. Everything ran on the timeline created earlier and the event flowed beautifully. I received many compliments on how perfect the evening was timed, plenty of time for eating, dancing and celebrating but broken up in the perfect way to get all parts of the night in and keep the guests waiting for what other fun thing was going to happen next.

Brandi is truly amazing! Not only did she help me plan my perfect wedding, the day of she sang with her band, The Society band, at the reception. Dawn handled the day of coordination beautifully, but Brandi managed to find time to ask me questions about the night on her breaks from singing. She is a crazy talented musician and The Society band was the highlight of the wedding! I never would have found such an amazing band without Brandi. I can't thank Brandi enough for her hard work, creativity, talent and for making my wedding perfect!

I cannot even begin to explain the gratitude I have for Brandi and her team! Brandi took my wedding vision and made it way more than I could ever have imagined. I continue to get nothing but compliments about my wedding and how calm and relaxed I seemed in the 8 month planning process, ALL of this is thanks to Brandi! Not only is she an amazing planner but she also has an amazing list of vendor referrals and all aspects of my wedding went PERFECT! I could not have asked for a better planning process and consider her to now be a life long friend!

Brandi took my special event and created a memory! From helping me develop a theme, to assembling 'the team' of incredible vendors...every detail was absolute perfection. She made everything so easy, I actually enjoyed my own event this year. I highly recommend Brandi for your wedding or special event.

Brandi and her team, especially Dawn, were fantastic. It is hard to add anything to the great reviews that they have already gotten so I will just say that the bride and her mom kept saying to each other, "Thank goodness for Brandi" Throughout the whole process, her response to us was "perfect" or "I will take care of it" and on the day of the wedding, every vendor was on time, every detail taken care of and she somehow organized the flow of the night so that it was a great celebration! I recommend her wholeheartedly.

I literally could not say enough about these wonderful women, namely Brandi. They were the most attentive, helpful, responsive, organized group I have ever worked with. I happen to be extremely organized and ontop of it and at no point did I feel like I was not being taken care of. I gave Brandi my vision and she executed it to its fullest potential. She had everything orgainized and has such a great eye for design and putting a picture together because she truly made our reception room look like something out of a wedding book. She literally made all of my wedding dreams come true. I truly could not imagine a better Wedding Planner. On the day of, she literally took care of every detail leaving me nothing to worry about and totally enjoying our day. Even at the end of the night when she was orgainizing the send off I said that I wanted some candy from our candy bar and she said, " you already have 3 bags in the first seat". My husband, who thought a lot of things with the wedding were over the top, actually said he did not know what we would do with out our planner and they make the night perfect. If anyone needs a planner I would highly recommend them anyone. I am so thanlful for these ladies!!!

I was connected to Brandi through a friend of mine and she and her team were absolutely wonderful. She was able to set us up with some vendors (bar and DJ) that saved us SO much money! It was so helpful having her connections to the people she has used before, her creativity, kindness and willingness to be flexible with things. Our wedding was at home which calls for much more work because we did not have a team of people setting up for us. Brandi and her team set up our tables, folded our napkins, got our name cards up and basically set the entire reception while we were at the ceremony. She is incredibly kind and honest and I loved her input on anything and everything. She has fantastic ideas, and she wasn't afraid to politely let me know if some grand idea in my head was not so grand after all :) . I hired her for month of coordination and I felt that throughout the engagement she was available to speak with me even if it was 8 months before the wedding. I would absolutely refer friends to her. She is profession, she knows what she is doing and she stays on top of it! Great company and great gals!

I could go on and on and on about how amazing Brandi & her team are .. from the first time I talked to Brandi on the phone about my vision and what I needed from a coordinator - I knew she was the perfect girl for me. Her expertise about all things wedding blew my mind. She thought of things I would have NEVER thought of on my own. Her assistants, Dawn & Tamara, are an amazing addition to the HSWEP package. My wedding day was an absolute dream come true - and it could never have happened without Brandi & her girls!

Hiring Brandi was the best thing we did during our wedding. She helped us every step of the way; through picking out the basic feel/design of the day, sorting through and picking vendors, communicating with vendors, managing my own stress levels (!!!!), and making the "day of" incredibly seamless and fun. She keeps you smiling through the entire process and is an excellent communicator and problem-solver. She is so creative and I know for a fact that I would have been LOST without her. I already recommend her to everyone I know!!!

We were planning our wedding long distance - live in MA and married in CA. Brandi was referred to us and she was absolutely priceless! I cannot imagine how I would have been able to plan the wedding without her and her team. All of the people she referred us to for other services - lighting, flowers, ceremony music, DJ - they were all perfect. As for the actual wedding day, there was absolutely no stress and everything really went perfectly. Brandi and her team do amazing work. They are there all day to make sure the venue gets set up perfectly for your reception, make sure everything runs smoothly throughout the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception and then stay after to make sure everything is cleaned up and sorted to where it needs to go. I cannot say enough good things about Brandi and her team - the fact that I can say that I had zero stress on my wedding day and that I can't find fault with anything that happened on my wedding day really is just priceless.

Overall High Society was OK, and my day did go off without a hitch, but the process wasn't what I had expected it to be. Each time I was told I would be sent a contract, a list of vendors, a timeline, anything really, I had to follow-up with Brandi days after I was told I would have the information. Never once was anything proactive and in my inbox before I had to ask for it. When they sent me the timeline for the day-of, there were typos and names wrong including the brides! I was also under the impression that they would be able to help me stay within in my budget, and help us determine what was worth it and what wasn't. We had one budget meeting in the beginning of the process for them to tell me what it would cost, not what my budget was. I was hoping for them to help me get creative and think of different options - throughout the rest of the process I had to keep reminding them that I didn't have a money tree in my backyard. Again, my day was amazing and they helped make sure people were in the right spot at the right time, but I wasn't thrilled with the process and didn't establish a connection through it.
