Incredible wedding coordinator

Sonya went above and beyond with our wedding. Hiring her was the best decision my, now, wife and I made. We didn't know how overwhelming planning a wedding was but Sonya made it easy and relieved much of the stress.

She provided a timeline that was easily adjustable, answered any questions we had, even came up with really great suggestions for our wedding. Throughout the whole process, Sonya was calm, collected, and caring, which in turn, relieved a lot of the stress off our backs. Even if you have trouble finding specific vendors, she has many connections under her belt.

During the wedding, she even has solutions for emergencies that may or may not arise. Because of Sonya, our wedding exceeded our expectations and it will be a day both my wife and I will cherish. You are in good hands with her and I would not hesitate to recommend her for any event.

Couldn’t have done it without her

Choosing Sonya to coordinate my wedding was the best decision I made during the planning process. From the start, her excitement, suggestions, and vision were aligned with mine.

Sonya was consistent with her check-ins and on top of every detail, even those I didn’t know I needed. Having an excellent team working alongside me was a blessing, as there were many moments in which I needed guidance from someone with experience. I am so grateful to Events by Sonya for ensuring a successful and beautiful wedding. I truly could not have imagined it any other way!

Sonya is the BEST!

Sonya is an absolutely incredible wedding coordinator and person. We never knew how much we needed Sonya until she started helping us with the planning process. It was easy to get overwhelmed with all that goes into wedding planning but Sonya made the process simple and stress-free. Sonya has so much experience that she knows exactly how to help you have the wedding of your dreams. We had most of our major vendors booked by the time we started working with Sonya but still needed a couple of additional recommendations. Within minutes of asking her for help, she sent several recommendations our way. All of my questions no matter how big or small were answered within 24 hours. Sonya helped us organize and reach out to all our vendors by creating clear, easy-to-follow timelines so everyone would be on the same page on the big day.

On the day of the wedding, we didn’t have to worry about anything because Sonya had set everyone up for success. She even had her husband Jeff help manage certain vendors on the wedding day so she could be in two places at once. She and Jeff were so calm and efficient about getting everything set up and making sure we were on schedule, in spite of a huge rainstorm! On top of everything, Sonya is an incredibly kind and patient person. She is so easy to work with yet knows how to get things done. We cannot recommend Sonya highly enough!

I can't say enough great things about Sonya. I originally met Sonya when she was coordinating her own wedding. She chose our company as her floral designer for her wedding to Jeff. From the first meeting, Sonya was very sweet, extremely laid back, and knew EXACTLY what she wanted. We definitely built a great relationship throughout the planning process and as many couples, I thought that I would only have the opportunity to work with her for just her wedding. Fortunately, she touched base with me a few months later and let me knew that she was working on some wedding projects of her own. She also wanted to get some hands-on experience with floral design and of course I agreed to have her help coordinate and design some designs for our clients. When we initially began the process of floral design, she picked it up in a SNAP! I always say, you either have the talent, or you don't and Sonya definitely has an eye for design, creativity and art- very important qualities when coordinating weddings. I can always count on Sonya to take the lead and deliver results without having to go into too much detail- she just knows what I'm looking for. She is a HUGE asset and a pleasure to work with!

Calmly organized and incredibly sweet Sonya is absolutely a very wonderfully skilled planner. Celebrating a wedding in Balboa Park on a bustling Saturday in sweltering heat will always be a challenge, but with Sonya at the helm, it was a beautiful day in paradise with LOVE blooming and in the spotlight! She was amazing. Brava to her. Any function will be amazing with Sonya as your co-ordinator.
