Amazing Team on Rainy Wedding Day

Ann Johnson and her team were the best decision we made for our wedding day. Hilary was there with me every step of the planning process, helping me with decisions big and small and making the process enjoyable and fun for my husband and I. The day of my wedding there was a hurricane that was hitting California (which never happens) and we didn't know how much rain would happen or if it would happen until about 2 hours before the ceremony when it started. Ann and Erin sprung into action and executed the rain plan that they had created for me seamlessly. I had the luxury of getting to focus on getting ready, enjoying my day, and preparing to see my husband at our first look rather then stressing or worrying about what needed to happen to make it all work in the rain. Ann, Hilary, and Erin had already thought of everything and made a seamless transition into our rain plan without anyone ever noticing that it wasn't how we had planned it originally. Guests continue to comment on how perfect it went even with the rain. I cannot thank them enough for their proactiveness, thoughtfulness, and professionalism not only day of but throughout the whole process. I would recommend them to anyone planning a wedding - they make the whole process more enjoyable.

Highly Recommended!

We were so grateful for all of the hard work Erin put in leading up to and on the day of our wedding.

She recommended and put us in touch with great vendors within our budget - Kiernan Michelle Photography & DJ Gavin Roy DJ.
She even recommended the church we ended up having our ceremony at - Our Lady of Mt Carmel.

She took charge of the set up at our reception venue, Villa & Vine, and everything was absolutely perfect. She went above and beyond by taking all of our decorations ahead of time and setting them up at the venue. When we walked into the venue, the set up was even better than we imagined. She coordinated with the venue directly, which made planning easier on us.

On the day of the wedding, it was such a relief to knowing we had her there to keep things running smoothly in the background. We didn’t have to worry about anything and really just got to enjoy the day.

I would definitely recommend using a wedding planner to alleviate some of the planning stress leading up to and especially on the big day and we really couldn't have been happier with Erin and Ann Johnson Events.

Ann and her team are AMAZING!

My husband and I recently got married in Santa Barbara, and we thank our lucky stars every day that we brought Ann on to help us create the most magical day of our lives! Ann was there by our sides for the entire ride. From picking a caterer, a photographer, linens, flowers, band, she helped us find the best of the best. On top of that, she did it with love and care. Working with Ann and her team, you know that they give everything to make sure that your day is special….and MY GOODNESS WAS IT! We cannot thank Ann and her team enough for everything they did to help us dream up, and get to live out, our perfect wedding! Thank you thank you, a million times thank you!
