If you are lucky enough to secure Sophie as your planner, you are in for a treat. My now husband and I lived in Santa Barbara during our college years at UCSB and always knew if we got married it had to be in Santa Barbara, and it had to be at the Courthouse.

While the Courthouse had never permitted receptions before, we were the first (just this past Saturday). Naturally as a new bride there are "what if's" and doomsday scenarios that organically come up throughout the planning process, especially at a brand new venue. I was a little nervous and didn't love the idea of being the guinea pig, but Sophie consistently went above and beyond on the days and months leading up to the event, and especially on the day of the wedding itself. She and her staff could not have been any more on top of it, period. She made a plan and she executed. The entire day went off without a hitch - if there were problems, we didn't know about it. She looked out for us, protected us and made our day so SPECIAL.

Now that we've had ample time to reflect on the day we are so happy we hired her. Timing was on our side - she's in demand and for good reason. We'd trust her with our life and consider ourselves truly lucky to work with her. If you are hiring a wedding planner in Santa Barbara she is worth every penny. Hire her, stat.

My fiance and I planned a wedding in 30 days and reached out to Amazing Days Events for assistance. Sophie was spectacular and went out of her way to make sure that every detail of our special day was executed to perfection. Sophie's knowledge of the ins and outs and expertise made the process seamless and smooth. Sophie had recommendations and input for every aspect of the event. Sophie's input is invaluable! Highly recommend using Amazing Days Events!!

I would give more stars if I could - I truly do not know what we would have done without the Amazing Day Events team!

They were referred to us by a friend who had ATTENDED a wedding where these ladies nailed it so much that GUESTS were singing their praises for flawless execution...you can only imagine how happy the couple was with their choice. After setting up a chat with Sophie I knew these were my girls and they are SO affordable compared to similar services all over the central coast. (Trust me, I checked)

Over the course of a year(ish) Kelsey became our person -

1. She handled all of the stuff that we either didn't care about or had no idea where to start. Who knows what lighting a band needs? How do I find a good deal? She would send me three options and price points and handle everything else - the dream!
2. She helped me figure out how to pull of the things that I was really excited about. For example, we really wanted to do a custom wine tasting at cocktail hour and literally anyone else would have told us to get a grip and get over it - instead Kelsey made it happen and it was better than we imagined.

My friends and family (and I) are still gushing about how perfect our wedding day was and I credit so much of it to the Amazing Day Events team. They treat you like a friend, they are supportive and flexible, and 10000000% the best money you'll spend on your wedding.

I actually don't think I can put into words how amazing Sophie and Kelsey are. Seriously. I was planning a wedding from across the country during my final year of law school and while studying for the bar exam, and NOT ONCE did I feel any wedding stress, and it was all because of these two. While I had general ideas of what I wanted, I had no idea what the cost or feasibility of any of my ideas were, and no clue how to bring it all together. Sophie and Kelsey listened to what I wanted, gave suggestions, helped me narrow down options, explained what was and wasn't realistic within my budget, and handled all the vendors without a hitch. They kept me on track throughout the year and were a huge help with a bunch of last-minute upgrades we added when our guest list ended up smaller than anticipated and we decided to do more with linens and flowers. I did not pick up my phone once on the day of the wedding, trusting that Sophie and Kelsey had everything under control, and it all was absolutely perfect when I arrived. They know the wedding community in the area incredibly well, and they worked seamlessly with our other vendors. They are so fun to work with--trust them to do their jobs, because they do them INCREDIBLY well and they only want you to have the best day. They listen well, respond to questions quickly and with real answers, and have your back 100% of the time. Without a doubt, they were the best money we spent wedding planning, and I miss chatting with them now that the fun is all over.

Sophie and Kelsey were amazing to work with! They helped with so many of our decisions and plans along the way and on the day of the wedding we seriously felt zero stress and were able to celebrate without a care. They really strived to actively make that happen!

The week of our wedding there was rain in the forecast (in Southern California, please) and they met us at the venue with the rental company rep to figure out a solution that still fit our vision. On our own, that whole process would have been really overwhelming and stressful but they set our minds at ease. We appreciated that so much!

Bottom line, they were super fun, had great energy, and were instrumental in making our day awesome!

The absolute BEST. Sophie & Kelsey were amazing. Everything was perfect for our Santa Barbara wedding. Vendors were on time, drinks always full, set up looked incredible, everyone knew what they should be doing at all times. They made sure all we had to worry about on our special day was ENJOYING IT. Not only did we love this team, our entire wedding party couldn't stop talking about how great they were. We just LOVE Sophie & Kelsey and would highly recommend them for ANYTHING.

Stop all the research you are doing and hire Sophie and Kelsey RIGHT NOW! I'm SO happy that I held out on booking a wedding planner until I talked to Sophie. Amazing Days Events is the REAL DEAL. If you want someone that will set realistic expectations, keep you on track, on time (which was super, super important for me) and be your sounding boarding, look no further! Sophie and Kelsey are truly an amazing duo - they are meticulous, have strong attention to detail and most importantly FUN. They're also well connected in Santa Barbara and have the best vendor recommendations. All but one of my vendors were recommended by Sophie and Kelsey and they were all a dream. Lastly, they had a great relationship with the Event Manager at our venue (Bacara) and I felt like the day went off without a hitch. Thank you, Sophie and Kelsey!!!!

Sophie is the best! We hired her as our month-of coordinator, but she provided suggestions and answered questions all along the way. Her insight and advice as we prepared for the day was invaluable – she had so many great tips from how to structure our ceremony to how to pose while holding a bouquet. All the small things that you wouldn’t think about if you’ve never been married before, she brought up and gave us the tools to make the decision that was right for us. She has an amazing attitude, and on the day everything went so smoothly. There were probably some hiccups, but we never heard about them – she handled all the vendors and made it a magical event. Everyone needs a Sophie at their wedding!

Sophie was one of the best things about our wedding. From the first phone call to overseeing the last moments of clean up, Sophie was an absolute rockstar. I chose Amazing Days Events because of all the emails I sent out, Sophie was the only one who CALLED back. She made a personal connection with us and our families and we SO enjoyed working with her. She is personable, professional and so much fun . She listened to our vision, helped us find the right vendors (within our budget!), kept us organized on track throughout the planning process. On the day of, she made sure everything was executed perfectly--she even constructed the perfect donut cake! Our family and friends loved her and we adore her! I highly, highly recommend Sophie and Amazing Days!

Kelsey was amazing! She was the best! I cannot come up with enough adjectives to describe her. Hiring Amazing Days Events was the best decision I made for my Wedding Day. Kelsey took care of everything on the day of the wedding so I could be present and fully immerse myself in the day. She helped me with all the last minute details. When I had to switch the reception from outside to inside a few days before the wedding Kelsey made the transition easy and smooth. My family and the wedding party all commented on what a wonderful Wedding Coordinator Kelsey is. Amazing Days Events is professional, reliable, and a pleasure to work with. I cannot thank them enough for helping me make my Wedding Day the best day ever!
