Thankful Mother of the Bride

Dear Azurae,

Working with you and Ciel Bleu Event Design was an absolute delight! As the mother of the bride, I wanted my daughter’s wedding to be perfect, and Azurae exceeded all my expectations.

Throughout the planning process, Azurae coordinated seamlessly with my daughter and all the vendors, making the entire experience enjoyable. Her organizational skills and professionalism were evident in every way.

On the day of the wedding, Azurae was a calming presence, managing every detail with grace and efficiency. She worked tirelessly behind the scenes, ensuring everything ran smoothly, from arranging additional time for the videography to overseeing the smallest details. It was clear that Azurae put her heart into making the day special.

I want to express my heartfelt thanks for everything you did to make my daughter’s wedding day so perfect. The way you incorporated all the special touches and made sure everything was just right meant the world to us. Your commitment to your clients is exceptional, and we are so grateful for your dedication.

I highly recommend Azurae Shults and Ciel Bleu Event Design. She truly made my daughter’s wedding a dream come true.

Warm regards,

Donna Brunello
Mother of the Bride

Ciel Bleu Events is Incredible!

Azurae is first class. I reached out to Ciel Bleu as I was struggling to find time to balance work and wedding planning. From my first meeting with Azurae, I knew she saw my vision and would be a great help! Azurae was instrumental in helping us choose a perfect venue and corresponding vendors. She coordinated everything seamlessly for the year and a half we worked with her. Leading up to the final days before the wedding, she got everything taken care and eliminated a lot of stress off myself and my husband. Our wedding day was beyond our wildest dreams and went off without a hitch, largely due to Azurae! I would highly recommend hiring Ciel Bleu to bring your wedding visions to life!

I highly recommend Azurae to any bride! We hired her for our day-of coordination, but she definitely went above and beyond for us, especially since a wedding in Paso Robles was a destination wedding for us and our families! She gave us recommendations for vendors, helped us save some money by looking over all our contracts, and was just amazing the day of the wedding! She did everything I asked, and our day went so smoothly. If some things didn't go as planned that day, we never noticed! She's a fabulous communicator and was always checking in with me too, which I appreciated!! Definitely use her for all your wedding planning needs in Paso! It helps she's a local too :)

Azurae did an amazing job!!!! We couldn't have been happier with the way things turned out. She set up appointments with all the vendors, since we live in the East coast, and handled any issues that come along the way. She was in constant communication with us through out the whole process. We highly recommend her services for anyone who is planning on getting married in the central coast.

Azurae is amazingly gifted as a wedding planner. The bride and I could not have pulled off our fairy tale wedding without her. She had excellent recommendations for venders, kept us on schedule with all meetings, order deadlines, and payments. She is fast to respond by phone and email yet never rushed when spending time with us. The wedding day she was everywhere keeping things running smoothly, always with a smile. We hired her early on and glad we did. She is a gem and worth every penny of her fee.

I could never write enough wonderful comments about Azurae!!! She truly is an angel/fairy godmother to her brides! She was soo kind, sweet, responsive and helpful not to mention her brilliant design ideas and eye for everything gorgeous! She really made the whole wedding planning experience stress free and tons of fun for us! She has great relationships with all the local vendors and knows just who to go to to get the bride and groom what they are wanting for their special day! We live about 2 hours away and she made our trips to Paso easy and fun by coordinating all our appointments and scheduling our days to maximize our time there. She is very organized and detail oriented while being super easy to work with and fun to be around! Like I said I could go on and on about how great she is! She truly is what every wedding needs to make it absolutely perfect!!!

Thank you Azurae!!!

We loved working with Azurae! Not only did she nail our wedding vision 100%, but she made the whole entire process so simple. She was always available when we had questions and kept everything so organized. We got the full planning package and I'm so glad we did.

Due to COVID, we had to push our wedding back a whole year, but she made rescheduling a wedding during a pandemic look like a piece of cake. She acted quickly, helped us secure all our vendors for the new date, helped brainstorm creative ideas to keep our guests safe, and remained so optimistic through it all.

Azurae has amazing connections all over the Central Coast (shout out to J Dusi for the Model M - it was a huge hit at the wedding!), and she even helped us find a last-minute vendor within weeks of the wedding. We ended up loving every single one of our vendors she put is in contact with; she really has a fantastic network of really good people.

Moving onto the weekend of... Azurae was SO helpful in ensuing our decor and signage was ready to go, everyone knew where to be, etc. I got so many comments from guests who noticed that the day went incredibly smoothly (and our morning was actually ahead of schedule!).

If you're thinking about booking a wedding planner, I highly recommend Azurae for an enjoyable and stress-free wedding planning experience.

Very well done!

Azurae is great to work with! She really knows everything about wedding coordination and how to make the day run smoothly. She was able to talk me out of some decisions that ultimately wouldn't have been the best for the day. I'm really glad I listened to her because her advice was excellent and really contributed to the day going so well. Our closest family members have told us our wedding was truly one of the most beautiful they have been to and a huge part of that was Azurae's work!

Azurae coordinated my wedding in early September, and I can say from experience that she is truly amazing!! From our first conversation on the phone, to the day of my wedding, Azurae was always organized and professional. We started by laying out my budget and early vision for the wedding. Since I had already found my venue, she got to work quickly by giving me recommendations for caterers, florists, photographers, and other vendors that would fit into my budget constraints. Although I hired Azurae as my “day of” coordinator, she put in many, many hours with me upfront and throughout my 8 months of planning to make sure my wedding day was perfect (and it was!). I know that there are a lot of great planners and event designers out there, but Azurae went beyond that. To me, she was my trusted advisor. If something didn’t seem right to me, I could ask Azurae. If I had an idea that she had seen go awry at other events, she told me. If she loved something, she encouraged me to try it. If I was frustrated with something in the process, I could tell her (and she would fix it!). I promise you won’t go wrong with Azurae- she is the best!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
