Nicole was a super star!!!

We cannot recommend Nicole highly enough! She coordinated my sister Catherine's wedding, and from every guest in attendance, we want to express our profound gratitude for the absolutely incredible job she did.
From the planning stages through the wedding day itself, Nicole was simply outstanding. Her patience in answering every single one of our questions—no matter how detailed—was remarkable, and her knowledge gave us complete confidence throughout the process. She was incredibly responsive to our texts, proactive in checking in with us, and always easy to find when we needed her. Her communication before the event was exceptional—sending schedules, updates, reminders, and positive vibe texts throughout the day that were beyond helpful! I never felt like I was annoying her, even when I'm sure I was!
On the wedding day, everything ran flawlessly. If there were any hiccups behind the scenes, we were completely unaware of them, which speaks volumes about her professionalism and skill. She was prepared for every situation and handled everything with grace and efficiency.
What impressed us most was how Nicole balanced being organized and structured with a relaxed, go-with-the-flow approach. That combination created the perfect atmosphere and allowed everyone to simply enjoy the celebration without worry.
Beyond the day itself, her support as we worked with vendors was invaluable. She made what could have been a stressful process feel manageable and even enjoyable.
Nicole didn't just coordinate a wedding—she helped create a perfect day that our family will treasure forever. We recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for a wedding coordinator who is professional, personable, and truly exceptional at what she does.

Above and Beyond Wedding Coordination

Stephanie was everything we could ask for in a wedding partner. Her background in interior design shines through in the way she notices small details and turns ideas into thoughtful, beautiful realities. We hired her early in our planning process, and from day one she was an invaluable resource; always available for questions, feedback, or simply letting us talk through ideas. Her communication throughout the entire year was something we came to deeply appreciate.

As the wedding approached, we felt completely comfortable and cared for. Stephanie’s expertise in the industry, paired with her ability to handle complicated timelines, gave us tremendous peace of mind. On the day of the wedding, she and her team were everywhere they needed to be - solving problems, managing moving pieces, and ensuring everything ran flawlessly.

It’s so clear that Stephanie is driven by building genuine relationships, delivering on her promises, and executing someone’s perfect day. At the end of the night, she even made sure that leftover cookies and champagne were sent up to our room, our favors were gathered, and nothing was overlooked... those thoughtful touches truly felt above and beyond!

Her kind, generous, and welcoming personality made her the ideal fit for us. We couldn’t imagine our wedding without Stephanie, and we are endlessly grateful for everything she did to make it unforgettable!

Stephanie is amazing!

Stephanie is an absolute miracle worker! We hired her for our wedding at The Ultimate Skybox in San Diego, driving down from NorCal. She was incredibly organized, handling every tiny detail. She even offered to buy our decor locally so we wouldn't have to haul it with us! Our wedding day went flawlessly. Hiring Stephanie was the best decision we made. We highly recommend her!

Best wedding planner ever!

Stephanie with Events Inspired SD was absolutely amazing! I could not imagine having anyone else as my wedding planner. She was extremely flexible, knowledgeable, and organized. Almost every vendor I worked with for my wedding discussed how nice it was to have such an organized wedding planner. The day went absolutely perfect because of her and I cannot recommend their company enough! She truly removed any stress during my wedding day and took care of every little detail!

Events Inspired Wedding Review

My wife and I cannot say enough great things about our experience working with Stephanie! She did an incredible job being our wedding coordinator, and our whole wedding day went perfectly thanks to her help. In addition, she was very responsive throughout the whole process and answered all of our questions. We could not have done it without her and would recommend her to anyone who is looking to have a wedding in the San Diego area!

Amazing!

Stephanie and the Events Inspired team are amazing! We used them for day of wedding coordination. Stephanie ensured all of vendor contracts were correct, and handled all of the communication with vendors 1 month out!

She was so helpful and kept me at peace and calm leading up to, and on the big day! She is above and beyond, even with last minute changes everything went completely smooth!
I was able to relax and enjoy every moment, knowing my wedding was in GREAT hands.

Just hire them immediately!!!

If you are considering hiring Events Inspired, let this be your sign to do it — immediately! We found ourselves in quite a predicament with our original venue about six months out from our wedding (4/12/25) and reached out to Stephanie for help. Little did we know, it would be the single best decision we could have made, irrespective of the challenges we were facing at the time.

Stephanie was everything you could hope for in a planner: prompt, attentive, organized, endlessly kind, and truly invested in making our day special. She navigated every twist and turn with grace and genuine care, making us feel supported and taken care of through every moment. She also works with the best vendors in the biz—we were blown away with how it all came together. If things went wrong on the day of, we had no idea. And any time we would think “let’s ask Stephanie,” she would magically show up and be by our sides. I don’t know how she does it, but she does!!

And as someone who works in the events industry, I can confidently say the only thing I would change about our wedding and planning process is hiring her from the very start. That’s a big statement — and I mean every word.

There truly aren’t enough kind things in the world to say about Stephanie and the entire team at Events Inspired. We are forever grateful to her and will be lifelong fans of this incredible company. I never understood why brides would say, “I am literally crying as I type this,” but now I do!!! Stephanie, thank you for everything. You made our wedding not only beautiful and seamless but an experience we’ll cherish forever.

Stephanie is the best!

Stephanie was incredible. My husband and I hired her to be our day-of coordinator and I could not be happier with her service. She was efficient, communicative, and handled all the details -- even some we hadn't considered -- with the utmost professionalism. I cannot recommend Stephanie enough.

Great value and service

My wife and I are planners and tend to be well organized so we got the Day of Coordination package from Events Inspired. Despite coming on board a month before our wedding, Isabella jumped right in and was on top of every detail for our wedding. She was delightful to work with, listened to what was important to us, and made sure all our vendors were in sync on wedding day. She went above and beyond by doing things like scoring our trivia sheets for our guests. Her calm, confident manner was also very helpful to have around in the planning stage as well as on wedding day. My wife and I were able to concentrate on our guests while she and her team took care of everything behind the scenes. We appreciated that she was also honest with us about the best way to implement our ideas while still being flexible to our unique way of doing things. I would strongly recommend Events Inspired!

Stephanie is the best!

I cannot say enough nice things about Stephanie VandenBerg from EventsInspired! She made our entire wedding experience, from start to finish, so seamless and stress-free.

She was very knowledgeable in regard to helping us choose our food, rentals, band, etc. and kept everything simple and organized. She perfectly played the line of being easy-going and opinionated when it mattered.



Thank you so much Stephanie for helping us organize such a special wedding. We will be recommending you to anyone getting married in the San Diego area! We couldn’t imagine working with anyone else.
