Kelly B. Married on 10/23/2021Amazing!!!
I am a very organized person. When we started planning I was on a strict budget and was sure a coordinator was an expense I couldn’t afford. Initially I hired Chardonnay for her day of help service to help with setup and takedown. A few months out from the date I upgraded to the day of package. Honestly it was the best decision I made. Chardonnay was absolutely amazing and such a joy to work with. Even people in my bridal party commented on how great she was! She really covered everything, and took care of things I didn’t even think about. I can’t imagine having had my wedding without her help, she is that good! Hiring her is a decision you definitely will not regret. She looked out for her couple first and our day ran so smoothly.Chardonnay Events's reply:
Kelly, thank you so much for writing this (and while still on your honeymoon!)! Your wedding was one of those where everything was smooth and perfectly according to plan. Even the rain held off until the end, amazingly! I enjoyed your day so much and truly appreciate the chance to help you and Matthew. The love you two have for each other is adorable -

Gigi R. Married on 10/06/2021Amazing!! You won’t regret hiring her!
Chardonnay was the reason I could breathe during wedding planning! We had a detailed plan (or so I thought) and she ended up thinking of a lot of things that we missed. She’s wonderful at what she does. She’s smart, quick on her feet, and so kind. It was a dream to have her at our wedding. I’m so happy we hired her. If you’re thinking about whether or not you need the additional help, I’m telling you as a bride, you do and Chardonnay can help take on tasks so that you can just enjoy your day!
P.S. Ignore my RBF in the pic. I had been smiling for photos for hours at that point and was tired lol.Chardonnay Events's reply:
Thank you for this review AND the photos, Gigi! Your wedding was so special and personal! I appreciate your support so much. -

Team
Hi, my name is Chardonnay, and I am the owner of Chardonnay Events. I created my company in 2018 after noticing that there was a need for this type of service in the Sacramento region (and after dreaming about doing it for several years!).
During and after earning my Bachelor of Arts in Public Relations from Sacramento State, I worked in the marketing and PR industry for a number of years. I worked in-house for a public agency as well as for a private PR firm, and my favorite part of the job was always coordinating and staffing special events! I’ve organized and executed a wide variety of occasions, including weddings, fundraisers, bridal and baby showers, birthday parties, community festivals, customer and employee appreciation events, and more!
I took several years off from the workforce to be a stay-at-home mother to my two daughters. I always knew that when I returned to working, I wanted to find a career that I was passionate about and that would also allow me to help others. It was in this search that I developed the concept for Chardonnay Events.
…and that’s how this little company was born! I truly love what I do, and would be delighted to support you in hosting a fabulous event.
Aside from my love of special events, I enjoy cooking, planning and organization of all types, yoga, hiking (especially at the American River) and going on adventures with my husband and children.
