Great wedding coordinator

Carla was our coordinator for our wedding on May 28, 2022. She was very friendly and helped everything to run smoothly. She made it so that my husband and I could enjoy our special day without worrying too much. Thankful for her and her services!

A Godsend from Heaven

I had no idea how essential having a wedding planner was. From the very beginning, Carla treated my husband and I with so much love— YES, LOVE! She exuded so much happiness and joy and always comforted me along the way. She was very detailed and helped me with anything I ask for. On the day of, her and her team were freaking rock stars. Our families and friends were so impressed with how the facilitated the entire wedding program, and we all had so much fun at the same time! Carla is your girl, and she is your friend during the craziest and most romantic chapter of your life!

Carla at A Wedding Story was phenomenal! From the consultation to planning to the execution, she was extremely hands on and attentive.

It was refreshing to know that Carla was there to handle everything for our wedding. She not only made me feel at ease, she was pleasant and professional even under pressure. During the beginning stages I had no idea what I wanted/needed and after speaking with her we were able to bring my wedding day vision to life!

Above and Beyond

Where do I begin
My wedding wouldn't have turned out PERFECT, if it wasn't for Carla @ A Wedding Story. Carla was there for me from beginning to end, which most Brides need during this stressful time.
BRIDES!!! No need to think twice. Please give yourself less stress and hire Carla to help you with the BEST DAY of your life.

Very Professional

Carla,with A Wedding Story, is the most level-headed person I’ve worked for. She hired me to photograph weddings from Rancho Cucamonga to San Diego and my experience working with her team of venders has been awesome. She partners with the bride and groom and guides them through their special day, creating their stories. As a photographer, this took a lot of stress off of me. I did not have to search for people because Carla was with them, making sure the event was truly a wedding story.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
