Ann Johnson- an immediate YES

Ann Johnson and her incredible team (Erin and Grace) made our wedding HAPPEN period. From day one they helped me every step of the way and went above and beyond with meeting my needs and extending their experience and connections. They truly felt like a guest not a vender. Every time we met as we got closer to our date I felt a sense of calm, love, and excitement. On our wedding day they were my HEROES. I can’t even begin to describe the amount of work they did. Most notably, Ann Johnson and her team have mastered the way to be extremely helpful without being invasive. They are like sneaky magic ninjas always working in the background making your day the best it could possibly be! I am incredibly thankful and grateful for all they did for my husband and I. Ann Johnson is am immediate YES when deciding on your wedding planner!

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!

One of the best decisions we made for our wedding

It was a pleasure to work with Ann and her team for our wedding. We were referred to Ann by our caterer and it was a great match! Ann was helpful throughout the process of hiring other vendors. She helped us find an amazing photographer, DJ and rentals. Since we live in New York and were planning a wedding in California Ann was accommodating in making introductions to other vendors in the Santa Barbara area and even doing a site run-though on our behalf at our venue with other vendors to identify our needs. I would definitely recommend Ann for all her hard work, and sincerity in making us feel heard throughout the process. Her team on the day of our wedding were also amazing and deserve a shout out to Katie for working through all the stress of the day and never letting me or Alex (husband) see or feel any of it!
