Hello happily engaged couple,
We understand where you are right now in the process. You’re excited about the engagement, and the thought of your upcoming wedding. Congratulations. We also know however, that the more you Google looking for answers, the more questions you have! Even if you have a venue, you now need to worry about seating charts, timelines, hairstylists, weather, forest fires, COVID, cleanup- oh my! “Do I even need a wedding planner?” may even be a question that you are pondering- and that is ok!
The good news is, this review that you are reading is the review you need. As partners, we were asking ourselves these same questions. In hindsight, we would have been stupid to not hire Terri/Events Extraordinaire. Should you simply care about the bottom line, then skip the rest of this review and just hire her already! If you are interested to know why, please see below.
Although one of us was skeptical in the value of a wedding planner, I can assure you that Terri’s actions and efforts were invaluable in making our day perfect. From the very first meeting, we were relieved at the methodic approach Terri takes to wedding planning. Your first meetings are simply getting to know each other and learning what the couple wants to achieve with the wedding. Terri fairly listened to both of our ideas and provided unbiased feedback and guidance. These little nudges compounded to big decisions which encouraged us along the wedding planning process.
Speaking of the process, Terri has one. She has timelines, ‘day of’ agenda’s, and planning deadlines that keep not only the couple, but also your vendors on track! Although you may expect the planning process to go smoothly, just as we had, of course life happens. We had a serious issues with one of our main vendors (That we found before working with Terri) the month before the wedding. We promptly referenced Terri’s pre-supplied vendor list and found someone who was more budget friendly, that produced fantastic results. Then, just one week before the wedding, the HMUA dropped out (crazy we know!). Terri picked up her personal cell phone that same day, to step in, and spent the evening with us hunting down alternates. To us, Terri felt like another family member with all of the right tools in her tool box to help us navigate the complex nuances of wedding planning.
On the day of the wedding, we hardly noticed Terri- and I mean that in a good way! Seamlessly behind the scenes, our wedding day and timeline panned out about as perfect as it could be. This letter is a testament to her process, value, and care in wedding planning. We were thankful to have found Terri and now look forward to connecting with her any time we are in the foothills!

My husband and I worked with Terri Neher at Events Extraordinaire to plan our beautiful wedding in Arnold, CA in August 2021. In the months before our wedding, Terri helped guide us through the planning process, coordinated with vendors, made organized timelines, ceremony chart, and layout plan, and ensured every detail was accounted for. When complications arose with vendors, Terri handled them professionally and made sure they were resolved to our satisfaction.
Everything ran smoothly on the day of the wedding, thanks to Terri’s excellent coordination. We were able to focus on each other and enjoy our day without worries. Her personal touches, such as placing appetizers in our room with champagne to enjoy in a moment of privacy after the ceremony, made our day all the more special. She kept us on schedule, managed our vendor team, and coordinated in the background to keep everything on track. Guests had a wonderful time at the event and have been raving to us about it ever since.
Terri is a consummate professional, personable, responsive, and easy to work with. I highly recommend Events Extraordinaire to anyone considering her services.

Terri was our wedding coordinator and we always felt taken care of throughout out the whole process. She helped with timelines and planning, even the small details that can easily get overlooked. She was available for emails, phone calls, and texts so if we had any questions at any time, we were able to get a quick response. Even with the uncertainty of COVID effecting things, she always checked in to see how we were doing, even if she could help with moral support. We really loved working with her, and she really helped during the Wedding day. We barely had to think about our schedule at all as she was working behind the scenes making everything run smoothly. We were able to actually relax and enjoy our big day. Terri and her wonderful assistant Shannon were amazing and we definitely recommend working with them!
