Wedding Planning made EASY!

Hannah & Danielle are wine country superstars! My husband and I are so appreciative of Danielle and Hannah’s hard work on our wedding, and throughout the planning process. Planning a wedding from 2000 miles away can be stressful, but they made it so easy! They are warm, organized, and able to provide comfort in any situation. All of our vendors absolutely adored them as well! Would recommend to anyone!

Best wedding planning decision

Our wedding day was the best day ever!!! Karina and the Couture Events team did our wedding day coordination and we are so thankful that they were there to take care of ALL THE THINGS so that we could be present with each other and our family and friends. We didn't have a worry or concern that whole day and we trusted them to make the day a success. Karina's calm demeanor and attention to detail gave us complete confidence! Wedding day coordination is a necessity and worth.every.penny, and we are forever grateful to the ladies at Couture Events for making our day a dream come true. XO

Amazing wedding at the Inn at Rancho Santa Fe

My wife, Sarah, and I were treated to an amazing fairytale wedding. Karina and Krystel helped us have the best weekend of our lives. All of our friends and family marvelled at the detail that Couture Events planned for us. We live in another country.... all we had to do was show up. Everything was perfectly taken care of. Thank you Krystel and Karina!

Working with Couture Events was an absolute dream. I knew without a doubt that our wedding would be handled with care and that every little detail would be seen to. Krystel Tien has an impeccable business and a fantastic group of professional and fun ladies working for her. Couture Events is a cut above the rest and will execute your event with style and grace while always being respectful of your budget.

The best part about working with CE is that I never had to worry. I wasn't worried about a thing. Krystel as my stylist and Karina Hale as my coordinator were both able to effortlessly balance giving me lots of space to follow my heart and stepping in to guide me to a decision when I began to feel overwhelmed. Going through the wedding planning process with Krystel and Karina in my corner gave me so much confidence!

Another thing that CE is so great at is making their brides feel lovely and encouraged. Every, single email conversation I had with them over the course of a year of planning always included lots of positive and up-lifting language, which you don't even realize you needed until you hear it. Every time I'd leave a meeting with them, I'd walk back to my car feeling great and excited all over again for the big day.

In the end, our wedding was the stuff of dreams and was so completely gorgeous. I was able to relax, breath and enjoy my wedding day because I knew that Krystel had helped me bring in the very best elements to transform our venue into an Old World Romantic space and that Karina was running a tight ship with our thirteen vendors; executing everything with perfection and a smile.

I am so grateful and I wholeheartedly recommend Couture Events to the discerning and unique bride!

We worked with Karina at Couture for month-of coordination and she was such a pleasure to work with! It was so nice having someone throughout the planning process to bounce ideas off of, and go to for expert advice. She was organized and responsive from our first meeting through our wedding day. The day of Karina and her team did such an amazing job bringing my vision to life. It was such a treat not having to worry, as I had full confidence that everything would run smoothly and look beautiful. Our day was truly a fairytale, and we have Karina and her team to thank!

Krystel is the best!!! Not only is she incredibly professional and organized, she really goes above and beyond to make sure your wedding day is everything you dreamed of. I hired Krystel for "month-of" coordination, but she made herself available to me throughout the planning process! From the moment I hired her, she happily answered all of my questions, reviewed contracts, and offered advice whenever I asked. Once the month of my wedding came, she kicked into full gear, contacting all of my vendors, putting together a timeline, and kept me in the loop only when I needed to be, without bogging me down with the nitty gritty details that I really didn't need to be aware of. On my wedding day, she brought a whole team from Couture Events to help out, so she could literally be in multiple places at once! Everything went perfectly - I couldn't have imagined things going more smoothly on my wedding day. Also, I want to add that Krystel's experience and expertise in wedding planning is invaluable - she knows what works and what doesn't, and will offer helpful suggestions and advice to help you have the best day ever. Any bride would be lucky to have her on their team!

Karina is amazing! If you want your wedding to go as smooth as possible, seriously go with Couture Events. I had an Indian wedding. It had several components to it. Couture Events made sure everything was seamless from start to finish. As the bride and groom, (but especially the bride!), you both have so much going on, you don't need to worry about all the little details on your big day. With Couture Events, you won't have to. Weddings are expensive and it is hard to know what is needed and not. In hindsight, there were probably many things I did not necessarily need to spend the money on. My event coordinator was NOT one of those items. I would have paid double for them! They gave me peace of mind that no other vendor could possibly have done.
They will work with you until the end. You will be their priority. Karina and the Couture Events team are amazing! I just can't say enough kind things about them!
I highly HIGHLY recommend their services!

Hiring Krystel (Couture Events) was the BEST decision my now husband and I ever made in the entire wedding planning process. She was the only wedding coordinator we met with and we knew from the second we met her- she was SO the person we wanted for the job. I am a perfectionist and she brought my vision of the perfect wedding into reality. She knew exactly what I wanted- she was on her game at all times. My countless questions and emails always came back with responses that brought big smiles to my face- I felt like I could trust her and that was so important if not the most important thing to me.
All our guests raved about how great the wedding was and how flawlessly it was being run- that meant everything to us! She made sure everything and everyone was on time. The day was so smooth from start to finish... Krystel and her team made sure everything was perfect and all we had to do was enjoy every second with our family and friends :-)
All I can say is thank you and thank you again for making everything look so beautiful and for making it such an enjoyable experience for us. I will always refer Couture Events to any brides that come my way. You will be so glad that you chose these lovely ladies!

Deciding to have Krystel and Couture Events was the best decision I made while planning my wedding. With a guest list upwards of 400 people, I knew planning this wedding would be a big task. Couture Events provided a very enjoyable year of wedding planning. With so many decisions to make, having Krystel and her team do the leg work and bring to me the best choices for my taste and personality, made making each decision that much easier. And the result was a fairytale wedding, even more beautiful than I could have imagined. The day of went so smoothly and I felt so taken care of. I was relaxed and really able enjoy the day. I knew Krystel and her team were there to take care of any problems that may occur and help with any possible thing. In fact, my cake toppled over on the delivery truck, and when Krystel received it, not only did she fix it and cover the damage but I didn't even know that it had happened until the next day when my sister told me. The one snafu during my wedding and I didn't even know about it!! That is the kind of person you want planning your wedding. The kind who finds no request too outrageous, no task too big to handle and no problem too big to fix...all without breaking a sweat.
So many of my guests even commented on how wonderful the girls were that were "helping me" during the wedding. I could not be happier with Couture Events and the beautiful wedding they created with me. I would recommend Couture Events to anyone.

We just celebrated our daughter's beach wedding at La Jolla Shores and Krystel and her staff were phenomenal. I would highly recommend Krystel to anyone seeking event planning. Krystel's team of vendors and business connections were excellent and this circle of contacts is key to her stellar service and execution. Her advice and counsel through out the event planning period was top notch. Whether it was to invest in areas that we did not think of (which added to the event) or to save us money and focus in areas that were not critical. The day of support was excellent, We had a team of staff that were everywhere, making sure vendors were coordinated, supervising activities or simply stopping by for a hug and to make sure we were OK and if we needed anything. If there were problems we were not aware of them, as they took care of it.

As my daughter said afterward, "the wedding looked like something out of a magazine", the tables, cake, flowers, music and venue were perfect. Thank you Couture Events!
