Suzanne Carvlin of Suzanne The Party Girl is a true godsend. Aside from working for my company freelance as an independent event producer for the past several years, she also was my one and only choice when it came to my wedding day. So much in fact, that although she's in Oregon now, I flew her back to Los Angeles, just for my big day. As a wedding planner myself, I had a very specific vision, standards and an extremely complex setup. I knew there was only once person who could execute this and do it right and that was Suzanne. I just wouldn't be able to breathe, let go or enjoy my wedding without her presence...

Suzanne is like a breath of fresh air. She's ridiculously sweet, a true professional, incredibly proactive and an amazing coordinator. She's quick, reliable, so very helpful, compassionate, sensitive, creative, educated and just utterly amazing. She is direct, can handle a large team, long lists of tasks and always fix fires that come up while in motion. She's the real deal, the whole package and really goes out of her way for the greater good of the couple and their day. She cares about things most don't, she insures everything will shine and sparkle, she's organized better then The Container Store, I swear! It's always amazing to work with her and she truly is special.

My most important goal for my wedding day was to let go and walk away from the production aspect and Suzanne allowed me to do so effortlessly. Despite all we went through leading up to the day, regardless of what time constraints we were under due to my workload the month of my wedding, Suzanne handled it and did so with grace.
I'm forever indebted, will always miss her being in LA, but know that Oregon is truly blessed to have a planner like Suzanne in their state! If you’re looking for a wedding planner to assist you, you’re in for a real special experience with Suzanne The Party Girl behind it! Love you Suzanne!

Suzanne was very helpful from the moment we hired her as our wedding planner. She listened to our concerns and resolved any conflicts there might be with vendors. She was professional and courteous. Most of all she is one of the nicest and friendly people i ever met. I highly recommend her.

I luckily stumbled onto Suzanne The Party Girl after reading and liking her blog. I wanted someone warm, laid back, and easy to work with -- a tall order! But Suzanne fit the bill perfectly and understand my specific taste and vision right from the beginning. Considering I hired her at the last minute (2 weeks before me wedding) to help me pull together all the last minute details, of which there were many, she could not have been more calm. She and her team did a fantastic job -- I could not have been happier with the results. My reception was very funky and down home, but I found out that a few weeks later she did a friend's cousin's country club wedding that could not have been more traditional. She can do it all and she is a warm, wonderful person to boot.

Suzanne The Party Girl was wonderful! Suzanne took care of everything so that the wedding and reception went off without a hitch. It was so nice to have Suzanne there to add her special touch and to made sure the wedding was all we had hoped for and much more, she is so giving of her time and talent, I don't know what we would have done without her!

Suzanne coordinated my wedding for me in 2003. She set up the beautiful wedding arch and bedazzled it with sparkling rock-candy garland and hanging votive lights. It beautifully framed the view from our hillside ceremony site; a sweeping vista of Orange County. You could even see Catalina Island! Suzanne was instrumental at keeping the wedding party on track and she even found someone to cue the wedding march when the DJ was over an hour late! I would have totally lost it if Suzanne was not there to save the day! It was truly a magical evening!


I assisted Suzanne with the planning and coordination of Scott and Renee Baio's Wedding in December of 2007. We only had 9 days to plan the entire event! I helped assemble the wedding programs with the printer (they mis-printed it three times!) and helped Suzanne with all of her printed material and then some. It was quite a task with only a few days to produce everything! Suzanne and her assistant, Aaron, were calling vendors. They booked the photographer (Pierre Comtois was awesome!), ordered the wedding cake (from Sweet Lady Jane - delicious!), found the harpist (Katrina Saroyan played beautifully), hired the caterer and bartenders (DJ's Catering is the best!), purchased bridal party gifts and cashmere wraps, plus made a list for security so the paparazzi wouldn't crash the wedding (they did get one photo, but it was from a helicopter). Suzanne also organized the time line so the bride and groom and VH1 (the wedding was filmed for TV!) would all be happy. It was a beautiful wedding and the only people who knew that we were busy, busy, busy, was us! Everyone else enjoyed a lovely, calm, fun party!
